Fengyang City, the headquarters of the 13th Division of the Army.

Chief of Staff Yusaburo Tin looked at the telegram in his hand with a dead face, shook his head with trembling hands and said, "Impossible, it must not be true." ”

"Tian Yongjun, what's wrong?" The division commander on the side was asked puzzled by the state soldiers.

Tin Yongzaburo handed the telegram to the state soldiers with a dejected expression, and said in a trance: "The headquarters of the front army sent the latest battle briefing, last night, the 114th Division and the 9th Division were attacked by the main force of the Zhina Army, and the tens of thousands of imperial warriors of the two divisions were all shattered. ”

"What?" The state soldier was shocked when he heard this, took the telegram suddenly, read it in a hurry, and collapsed on the chair.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the headquarters, and Yuzaburo Tin and the soldiers looked up, only to see the commander of the 103rd Brigade, Major General Nagatayama, walking in with a panicked look on his saber.

When he came to the front, Nagata Mountain suddenly retracted his feet and stood up and saluted the state soldiers: "General, it's not good, the Zhina army outside the city has increased its troops." ”

"Reinforcements?" After the destruction of the 9th Division and the 114th Division, it was obvious that the next target of the [***] team was his 13th Division, and the increase in troops was expected.

"Yes!" Changtian Shan suddenly bowed his head and said: "Now that the Chinese army has surrounded the entire Fengyang City, I guess that it won't be long before they will attack our army." ”

Both the state soldiers and the Tatsu Yuzaburo fell into silence, both of them were very heavy, and they both knew very well what the fate of the entire 13th Division would be next.

Seeing that the state soldiers and Tian Yuzaburo didn't speak, Nagata Mountain couldn't help but urge: "General, the situation is extremely urgent now, please make a decision as soon as possible, whether to break through or not?!" ”

"Breakout?" Before the state soldier could speak, Tian Yuzaburo preemptively said with a dejected expression: "Nagata-kun, do you think we can break out?" Reinforcements from the outside of the Chinese army have arrived, and if the imperial army goes out of the city now, it will be immediately surrounded and annihilated by the heavy troops of the Chinese army, and its armored troops will bring us a catastrophe! ”

"Tian Yongjun, what should we do then? Stuck on the sidelines? Nagata said in astonishment.

"It's impossible for reinforcements to come." Tian Yongzaburo looked at the state soldiers, and said in great frustration: "Now that the 9th Division and the 114th Division have been wiped out, north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huai River, there are no reinforcements to reinforce my 13th Division, as for the friendly troops far south of the Yangtze River, it is beyond the reach of the whip commander." ”

Nagata Mountain didn't know the news that the 9th Division and the 114th Division had been wiped out, and he was extremely shocked at the moment: "What? The 9th Division and the 114th Division have been completely wiped out? ”

Yuzaburo did not speak, but handed the telegram that had been placed on the table by the captured state soldier to Nagatayama.

Chang Tianshan hurriedly took the telegram, hurriedly finished reading it, his face changed dramatically, and he said in disbelief: "This, this is true?" ”

"Hmm." Yusaburo nodded silently.

For a while, the entire 13th Division Headquarters fell into silence, and after a long time, the division commander was suddenly turned to Tian Yuzaburo beside him and said: "Tian Yongjun, send a farewell message to the front army headquarters, and the state general will lead all the officers and men of the 13th Division to fight the Chinese army to the end, and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Tian Yuzaburo's face changed drastically, and he immediately regained his previous calm, suddenly stepped forward and saluted the state soldiers, and immediately took the order to leave.

Seeing Tin Yuzaburo leave, the state soldiers said to the commander of the 103rd Brigade, Nagatayama: "Nagada-kun, pass the order, all the imperial warriors of the 13th Division, prepare for the jade shattering battle!" ”

"Hay!" Nagata Mountain suddenly bowed his head in response with a hideous expression, and then strode away with his saber on his shoulder.

…………………………………… Fengyang Gorge, save [***] headquarters.

Qiao Anbang had already led the 1st and 2nd Divisions, as well as the guard regiment and armored brigade to return smoothly, and the main forces of the 1st and 2nd Divisions had joined the ranks of encircling Fengyang Gorge.

In the headquarters, Qiao Anbang and several subordinates are re-discussing the battle plan for attacking Fengyang City, although the 13th Division has now become a turtle in the urn, but Qiao Anbang does not dare to delay any longer, because he knows that the beast surname of the army, once there is no hope of breaking through, tens of thousands of people in Fengyang City are likely to suffer.

Qiao Anbang pointed to the huge combat map spread on the conference table, raised his head and glanced around at his subordinates and said: "Everyone, now our army has surrounded Fengyang County on all sides, and the 13th Division is unable to escape, but now there is a very urgent situation, that is, once the devil feels that there is no hope of breaking through, it is very likely that he will poison tens of thousands of my compatriots in Fengyang City, so I decided that the whole army will immediately launch a general attack on Fengyang City, annihilate the 13th Division as quickly as possible, and recover Fengyang City!" ”

"Boss, you can give a specific task! We will do our best! Cao Eryi, the commander of the second division, heard that the devil might kill the people in the city, and couldn't help but worry, "That's right! You can give the order! Li Jupeng, the commander of the third division, and Li Yifeng, the commander of the first division, also nodded in agreement.

Qiao Anbang nodded, and then pointed to the map and said: "This attack, regardless of priority, concentrate all artillery fire to bombard the devil's periphery!" Then your three divisions will attack Fengyang City from four directions at the same time, and the armored brigade will be responsible for covering your attack. Remember, the battle must be resolved quickly, and the sooner we enter the city, the less damage the people will suffer. Do you understand? ”

"Understood!" The crowd responded in unison.

"Execute the order!" Joan Bang waved his hand.

"Yes!" Everyone rushed forward to respond, and they all turned around and took the order to leave.

Everyone had just left, and Chu Jingming, who had been staying in Fengyang Gorge to recuperate, strode in.

When Qiao Anbang saw Chu Jingming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

"Anbang, I heard that the troops are about to attack Fengyang City." Chu Jingming asked.

"Hmm!" Qiao Anbang nodded and replied.

"Why didn't you inform me of last night's operation, you didn't even let me participate in such an important battle as the 9th and 114th Divisions, so this time, I must participate in the offensive no matter what." Chu Jingming said loudly with a slight reproach.

"Big brother, last night's action seemed easy, but in fact it was very dangerous, and you were injured, so I didn't let you participate." Jo Anbang explained.

"My injuries are no longer serious, this time I will lead the commando team to attack, Fengyang City is lost from us, Anbang, give the eldest brother a chance, a chance to be ashamed!" Chu Jingming pleaded sincerely.

Seeing Chu Jingming's resolute attitude, Qiao Anbang nodded and said, "Okay, but big brother, you must pay attention to safety." ”

"Don't worry!" Chu Jingming gave Qiao Anbang a military salute, and then quickly turned around and left.

…………………… About 20 minutes later, hundreds of artillery pieces and antiaircraft guns of various calibers of the three artillery regiments of the three divisions were aimed at the positions of the Yue army outside Fengyang City.

With Qiao Anbang's order, hundreds of howitzers, mortars, and antiaircraft guns opened fire one after another, and for a time, the sky was filled with bullets like flying locusts, and dense shells like rain whistled and whistled and smashed down towards the position of the army. "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! The deafening explosions began to sound one after another, and dazzling fires rose into the sky one after another, and the already devastated positions of the Japanese army were suddenly blown to pieces.

In order to ensure the success of this general attack in one fell swoop, all artillery poured ammunition at all costs, and within half an hour, several defensive positions of the Japanese army had already been plowed back and forth several times, and there was a sea of fire everywhere, and the devil soldiers hiding in the positions were almost completely lost.

Qiao Anbang stood on the peak of Fengyang Gorge with an expression on his face, looking at the periphery of Fengyang City, which had fallen into a sea of fire, and the roaring cannon sound in the distance could be heard clearly.

After a long time, Wang Gensheng, who had been standing beside Qiao Anbang, put down the binoculars in his hand and said to Qiao Anbang: "Headquarters, it's almost, such a fierce artillery fire, even the voles have to die three times, and I think I can let the divisions attack, and if it drags on, maybe the devils in the city have already begun to slaughter." ”

"Hmm!" Qiao Anbang still nodded expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Order all divisions, attack." ”

"Yes!" Wang Gensheng replied suddenly, and immediately turned around and walked towards the headquarters.

Wang Gensheng took three steps and two steps, quickly walked into the headquarters, picked up the phone and ordered loudly: "Hey, the general seat order, attack immediately!" ”

The next moment, the roaring and deafening cannon sound finally stopped, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly sounded around Fengyang, and then tens of thousands of rescue [***] soldiers launched a general attack on Fengyang City under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.

Due to the heavy artillery fire of the rescue [***], the troops left behind by the 13th Division outside the city were almost completely lost, and the main force of the rescue [***] quickly captured the virtual outlying positions, and then launched an attack on the fortifications of the devils.

Due to the suddenness of the attack to save [***], the devils in the city who had just received the battle of jade shattering were forced to respond in a hurry before they could react, so most of the devils did not have the opportunity to go to the city to burn and loot, but the guard squadron directly under the headquarters of the 13th Division began to wantonly slaughter the people in the city under the leadership of the division commander and the chief of staff Yu Saburo and others.

The frenzied state soldiers knew that they were not long after their destruction, and immediately issued a two-light policy, killing and burning them all.

Nearly 200 devils burned silver and burned in the city like evil ghosts, and did all kinds of evil, from the old man in his seventies and eighties to the infant baby. For a time, the central city near the headquarters of the army became the Shura Purgatory.

Because the devil was fighting in jade pieces, its resistance was particularly fierce, and Rao was rescued [***] to occupy an absolute advantage in strength and equipment, and it took nearly two hours of fierce attack to clear most of the main force of the 13th Division.

After the vanguard troops of the divisions entered the city, they immediately rushed to the headquarters of the army in the center of the city, but when they rushed to the center of the city, they found that the center of the city had become a ruin, full of burning buildings, and the streets were full of people's bodies, including old people, some children, and some young women, the difference was that the women were all disheveled, and it was obvious that they had been ruined before they died.
