In the face of chaos, there are almost no unified command of the little devils, and the surrounding soldiers, with the support of a large number of light and heavy weapons, almost did not spend too much to completely eliminate the small devils who were already scattered... It was four hours after the whole battle had passed before the reinforcements had departed. There was a huge battlefield of more than 8,000 little devils just now, and at this moment, less than half of the little devils are still making the last resistance... And the remaining more than 4,000 little devils, in addition to the 2,000 people around the commander of the division, the remaining 2,000 people were divided into four major pieces. The strength of each group of little devils ranged from a few hundred, and two of them were surrounded by more than 10,000 troops of the Imperial Cooperative Army, making a final struggle before dying. As for the remaining two forces, they were surrounded by two infantry regiments, ready to launch a final attack and wipe out the hundreds of little devils in the encirclement.

At this moment, around the commander of the division, at least 10,000 soldiers were gathered. Nearly 10,000 soldiers, under the order of Commander Wang Nanhu, are recuperating in the sortie position, recuperating for a moment's attack... At this moment, a communications staff officer hurriedly came to the commander Wang Nanhu, who was about to issue an offensive order, and asked Wang Nanhu to change the order for the attack at the last moment before the attack.

"Commander, an urgent telegram from the reconnaissance unit. A wing of more than 4,000 little devils carrying infantry and light weapons was quickly driving towards Baoding. According to the current marching speed of the reinforcements, there will be four hours at most before they can reach the battlefield..."The communications staff officer hurriedly reported.

"What, the little devil has a wing of reinforcements, and there are still four hours to get to the battlefield?" Just after the words of the communications staff officer were finished. Chen Revolution, the political commissar beside Wang Nanhu, couldn't help but exclaim: "Yes, political commissar, the four thousand troops did not carry any heavy weapons. Advancing lightly, they are quickly heading towards Baoding City..."The communications staff officer replied affirmatively..."Commander, since the little devil's reinforcements have arrived. I suggest that all troops immediately launch an offensive and try to resolve the battle within two hours. Then, the troops quickly withdrew from the battlefield, so that the little devil's reinforcements were empty..."Political Commissar Chen Revolution suggested to Wang Nanhu beside him..."Old Chen, this is not the style of our readers... There are more than 4,000 little devils, and they want to rescue the 108th Division from the hands of my tens of thousands of troops, and the little devils look down on the combat effectiveness of our reading division. Besides, these little devils didn't carry any heavy weapons, and it was only five or six hours before it got dark. Just these little devils, it's not enough for the tens of thousands of troops in our hands to stuff our teeth, why do we want to retreat..."Wang Nanhu said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Commander, you mean, let's eat the more than 4,000 little devils who have come in for reinforcements... I think it's okay, after four hours, the little devil's reinforcement plane should also leave, and we can completely rely on the artillery in our hands to eat these 4,000 little devils in the shortest possible time..."Political Commissar Chen Revolution nodded approvingly, and then replied.

"Political commissar, immediately give orders to all troops, the three main regiments, to slow down the attack on the headquarters of the divisions and regiments of the army. It must be guaranteed that the head of the little devil division will hold on for four hours... The three new regiments were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and the three regiments immediately withdrew from the battlefield, preparing to ambush the reinforcements of the Japanese army with the support of artillery... This time, we ate from the bowl and looked at the pot. Fight for a surname and solve all these little devils..."Wang Nanhu ordered with a confident face.

"Yes, Commander, I will immediately go and convey the order, and I will definitely assign the task in the shortest possible time..." In the face of the order of the commander Wang Nanhu, those soldiers who originally planned to take the position of the Yue army at one time were very confused and puzzled in their hearts. However, each commander still carried out the order very neatly. As if to alleviate the casualties of the troops, the troops responsible for the attack quickly retreated to their positions under the fierce cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns behind them. At the same time, he constantly used the light and heavy machine guns behind him to kill and injure the remaining living forces that had just emerged... The more than 5,000 soldiers of the three reading regiments quietly left the battlefield, once again got into the dense forest, and rushed to the ambush position selected by the commander Wang Nanhu... Prepare to take advantage of the favorable terrain, with the support of the artillery regiment, to ambush and completely annihilate the reinforcements of the army....

Of course, it is impossible for the thousands of soldiers who have been completely surrounded to know about the large-scale movement of troops of the Eighth Route Army around them. The only thing they knew was that they could feel that the offensive of the Eighth Route Army around them was not as fierce as just now... In the face of the weakening momentum of the offensive, the main purpose of the offensive is to kill and injure its own soldiers. Not only the commander of the division but also the chief of staff, all showed a look of confusion at the same time. In particular, the chief of staff of the division and regiment, in his heart, faintly felt that the Eighth Route Army seemed to be arranging a huge trap for himself to drill..."Chief of Staff, do you feel that the troops of the Eighth Route Army around us suddenly want to change troops, and the momentum of the offensive is very weak, and it is not as tough as it was just now?" The division commander frowned at himself, looked at the chief of staff of the division and regiment beside him, and asked with a puzzled expression..."Hi, Your Excellency Commander, I also found this problem... In my heart, there has always been a faint thought, the Eighth Route Army around us, seems to be laying a trap for us to drill..."The chief of staff nodded and replied.

"Yo Xi, could it be that the Eighth Route Army sees that we only have more than 2,000 people left, and after a few hours, it will be dark. They don't want to pay too many casualties in the next battle. So, the troops were ordered to slow down the attack. It must be that after our air reinforcements leave, the troops of the Eighth Route Army will be supported by a large number of artillery. And at that time, it will be easy to wipe out all of us..."The division commander shook his head and said guessingly.

"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander... In any case, the slowdown of the Eighth Route Army's offensive is very beneficial to us, who are currently in a difficult situation. As long as we can hold out for a few more hours, we can successfully break through and jump out of the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army under the cover of reinforcements..."The chief of staff nodded and said... However, even if these little devils died, they would never wait for the moment to meet with the reinforcements. Because, just in front of the reinforcements, three infantry regiments and an artillery regiment jointly arranged a huge pocket, just waiting for the arrival of the little devil reinforcements, and then, these reinforcements were served in a pot. In this way, not only can the reinforcements of the army be completely annihilated, but also the remaining thousands of troops on the battlefield can be completely annihilated at the minimum cost, which can be described as a tactic that kills two birds with one stone... Finally, after the whole battle, once again after a long three hours. The remaining 4,000 troops on the battlefield have been left with less than 2,000 troops under the continuous attacks of the soldiers. Less than 2,000 little devils, all of them huddled around the commander of the division and carried out resolute resistance. At the same time, more than a dozen little devil planes that were constantly circling in the air and showing off their might had to leave the battlefield and fly back to their nests because of the arrival of night. As for the 4,000 reinforcements of the little devils, under the leadership of the wing commander, they were like a headless fly, without any accidents, they crashed into the pocket formation of the three infantry regiments and carefully prepared for them....

In the face of thousands of little devils who were unvigilant, after almost a day of rapid marching, they were already tired and panting and had low combat effectiveness. The fighters did not hesitate and immediately attacked. Of course, the first to attack the army was all the light and heavy machine guns and nearly 100 artillery pieces of various types arranged on the high ground on both sides of the road.

More than 100 light and heavy machine guns fired, and nearly 100 rounds were like the explosion of shells with eyes. It's like death, on the road less than a kilometer long, constantly reaping the lives of these little devils....and in the face of the sudden fierce blow, these tired little devils, who have lost most of their combat effectiveness, have not had time to hold the rifle on their backs in their hands. I was knocked to the ground by the rain of bullets and the flying shrapnel... In particular, the little devils walking on both sides of the entire team, under the intensive strafing of more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, were swept to the ground one by one like cutting wheat... The instantaneous and violent blow, although it only lasted less than ten seconds, caused very heavy casualties to these tired little devils... In this ten-second blow, at least nearly a thousand soldiers directly turned into bloody corpses. More soldiers turned into light and seriously wounded, constantly wailing and rolling among the corpses..."Baga, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning, and we are surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. Light and heavy machine guns were ordered to cover, and all troops immediately retreated. Quickly, we must withdraw from the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army..."Looking at the corpses that fell beside him, the lightly and seriously wounded who kept wailing... After hearing the dense strafing of machine guns around, the explosion of shells ... The Supreme Commander of the reinforcements, Wing Commander, who was extremely experienced in combat, immediately judged the ambush of his troops ... Originally, as the captain of a field unit of the imperial army, he didn't look down on the ambush of the [***] team. He believed that with the individual quality and overall combat effectiveness of the imperial army, unless there was an integrated division, and it was also the elite Central Army of the Kuomintang, it could pose a threat to one of his field wings. Otherwise, he can definitely lead his wing to break out of the encirclement, and if possible, he can also launch a counter-charge appropriately to completely defeat the [***] team that ambushed him.

But not today. After nearly a day's march, almost every soldier was exhausted and out of breath, and had little physical strength to continue the battle. From the first round of strafing of the Eighth Route Army, the wing captain can see clearly... If the combat effectiveness of one's own troops had not been affected by continuous marching, they would have been able to organize an effective counterattack on the spot and suppress the firepower of the surrounding Eighth Route Army by relying on the first round of firepower strikes of the Eighth Route Army just now, and their own wing would have lost at most half a brigade of troops. However, on today's battlefield, only the first round of blows of the Eighth Route Army completely lost the combat effectiveness of half of its infantry wing, and almost half of the soldiers of the Imperial Army directly turned into corpses.

"Hey, Your Excellency Wing Commander, I'll go and deliver the order right away..."The chief of staff beside him, I don't know why the Wing Commander, who has always been arrogant in front of him, chose to retreat in the face of the Eighth Route Army troops at this moment... However, the dense sound of gunfire around you, the explosion of shells, and the very frightening wails of soldiers were heard... The Chief of Staff also thought for a moment that the Wing Commander's order at this moment seemed to be the wisest order. So, he replied loudly.

However, at this moment, the little devil who has already suffered more than half of the casualties and has almost no combat effectiveness, will he still have a chance to break through? The answer is no. Just when the chief of staff of the army had just left and was about to assemble troops for a breakthrough, a loud charge horn quickly penetrated the surrounding dense gunfire and the explosion of artillery shells, and reached the battlefield, and everyone on both sides of the enemy heard it... Just now, I could only see tongues of fire on both sides of the highway, and in just a moment, countless soldiers of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared... A soldier of the Eighth Route Army, holding in his hand, had already put on his bayonet rifle, and under the command of commanders at all levels, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, quickly rushed towards the road, and the already scarred army column..."Ah... Baga, the Eighth Route Army began to charge. All the machine guns are to fire immediately, and they must block the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and they will shoot immediately..."Looking at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were like rainbows. Officers of all levels of the Japanese army, who were lying on the road, immediately commanded the troops around them to counterattack, trying to block the charge of the soldiers... However, under the cover of numerous light and heavy machine guns, as well as artillery. The machine gunner had just poked his head out to shoot. Either they were hit by a barrage of heavy machine gun bullets, or they were rained down by shells, and their bones were directly blown to pieces... Until the three main regiments, thousands of soldiers rushed to the front of the army, and the little devils on the road at the foot of the mountain still did not organize any effective counterattack....

However, at this moment, even if the remnants of the Japanese army organized an effective counterattack, it would not play any role. Because, the bayonets of the fighters are already on their chests ... So, a fierce hand-to-hand battle began, on this mountain road that was almost a kilometer long.

"Kill...."Facing the little devil standing in front of him, panting. The warriors will show no mercy. With a loud roar rang out. An exhausted little devil fell under the bayonets of the warriors who were in a hurry.

The whole hand-to-hand combat lasted less than an hour. The remaining more than 1,000 little devils in the reinforcements of the army all fell under the bayonets of the soldiers because of the exhaustion of their whole bodies. And the three main regiments, from the beginning of the offensive to the end of the final battle, lost only less than a battalion of infantry ... At the same time as the battle for reinforcements from the ambush army began. The battle of besieging the last little devils around the commander of the division also began immediately when the commander of the division ordered the troops around him to prepare for battle in the temporary command headquarters, launch a counterattack against the surrounding Eighth Route Army at any time, and carry out internal and external flanking attacks with an infantry wing that came to reinforce it, and spit out the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army. Nearly 100 mortars have all been turned and aimed at the positions of the Japanese army... Just when the commander of the division and a group of senior officers of the 108th Division were in the temporary headquarters, waiting for the telegram of reinforcements with a look of expectation. A shrill whistling sound reached the ears of these officers very appropriately... As the commander of the division, although his heart is also very excited at this moment. However, the division commander, who had rich combat experience, still lay on the ground for the first time after hearing the whistling of artillery shells that were getting closer and closer to him. At the same time, he exclaimed to the subordinates around him: "Get down, it's the shelling of the Eighth Route Army..."

"Boom, boom, boom..." Before the division commander could finish speaking, a dense explosion sounded in his ears. Immediately, there was a trace of coldness and pain, from his neck, back....all over his body to his head... At this moment, the division commander, who was still full of expectations just now, was filled with a look of despair in his head in just a moment. However, in just a few seconds, the division commander slowly lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

It turned out that the reason why the commander of the division was accurately hit in the first round of shells. It turned out that in the middle of the attack just a few hours ago, Wang Nanhu, as the commander, had been standing on a high ground less than two kilometers away from the battlefield, observing every move of the army's position... After a few hours of observation, Wang Nanhu really discovered a good news, that is, the location of the commander of the division and other senior officers... Less than half an hour before the troops launched the attack, the artillerymen who had received Wang Nanhu's order immediately aimed the muzzles of nearly 100 mortars at the location of the temporary headquarters of the Chinese army according to the coordinates provided by the commander. As a result, the first round of firing of the artillery cluster covered the headquarters of the temporary division of the Japanese army, and at least dozens of officers at or above the rank of junior fell into the first round of nearly 100 shells...
