"Where are all our soldiers!"

Yamachi Genji seemed to have a ball of cotton stuffed in his throat, and every breath he took made a hiss similar to that of an asthma patient, and it seemed that his middle breath was particularly insufficient.

Oji Yasuchun Dazuo shook his head with a desolate face: "There are many ...... They all fell halfway through. Commander, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get to the landing site smoothly! ”

Yamachi Genji was silent for a long time, and sighed with difficulty: "Even if you arrive, you won't have a chance to board the ship." The enemy's intentions are to completely destroy us. ”

"They...... Do you dare to make such an arrogant plan?! ”

Oji Yasuchun couldn't believe it, staring at His Excellency the Lieutenant General with round and bloodshot eyes, his heart was full of shock!

Yamachi Motoji smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "The current situation can no longer be said to be arrogant, and it seems that all of them are under the careful control of the enemy army. Didn't you notice? For five days in a row, their shells were able to fall on all sides of the main force, and the pursuing forces never gave us any chance to stop and rest. Day or night, they can always appear in the rear, and this terrifying tactical ability is far beyond the military common sense of the countries of the world today. ”

Oji Yasumi prides himself on being well-informed, but he has never heard of anyone who can actually do this, especially those who are blind in the dark, they can also find the target, what kind of ability is this?

After satisfying certain equipment conditions, the key to the combat effectiveness of military strength depends on the ability of organization and coordination. This is where the difference between the modern army and the classical army lies, with a group of capable middle and lower-ranking officers, perfectly integrating thousands of people into one. Like an arm making a finger. Cooperate with each other in a mobile and flexible way to complete combat missions.

The Japanese army originally had an advantage over the Qing army in this regard. Now it has been severely crushed by Yang Hao's advanced power for at least half a century.

However, Oji Yasujun also reacted quickly, and he suddenly thought that he had set up blocking and interception teams more than once along the way, and some of them were even scattered to hide between the mountains on both wings. After the enemy pursues deeply, they will burst out and intercept each other.

But for several days in a row, those preset chess pieces did not play a role, and fierce gunfire broke out in the back. The enemy army is not left behind for a moment!

Those troops. There must have been casualties, right?

Looking back at Liujiatun, although there are some simple fortifications, according to the previous experience, it will not play a big role. The worst thing is that all the troops in front of them are almost incapacitated. Sickness, hunger, cold, despair and helplessness spread in the midst of it. No matter how much they are agitated, it is difficult to expect them to stand up and fight with courage.

Oji Anjun's heart was cold. He looked directly at the mountain Motoji: "Commander, are you going to admit defeat just like that?" ”

Mountain Genji looked up at the frozen sand river not far away. Said categorically: "Never! Imperial soldiers can die in battle, but they must not surrender to the enemy. I was determined to fight the final battle on the banks of this river. Hopefully, the miracle of the 'last stand' in ancient history can happen to us in the same way." Daji-kun, how to organize it depends on your staff. ”

An Chunden of the Great Temple had a feeling of being burdened with a heavy historical responsibility, and solemnly stood up and saluted: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, we will do our best to ensure that the task is completed!" ”

Looking back, his first order was to break the bridge over the Sand River! If you can't defeat the enemy, let's die by the river together!

The remaining Japanese troops, who had been completely numb, did not even have the strength to go down. In the face of the blown up bridge, many soldiers wept in despair. In such a cold winter, it is impossible for them to pass through the wide river with only a thin layer of ice, and besides, they are indeed fed up with endless torture. It's better to die here!

More than 3,000 Japanese troops, like a group of zombies who have lost their souls, under the planning of the staff officers and the drive of the officers, numb the machinery with the only remaining tools or hands, trying to build fortifications by the river.

The ground has been frozen so hard that you can't dig it. Then you have to build on it. Relying on the village buildings of Tunzi, they used their family heirloom sword as a sickle to harvest dry reeds and red grass from the river, cut down trees, and even dig sand, and erected fortifications layer by layer around it.

However, the time left for them was so short that it didn't take long for the shells of the pursuing troops to fall from the sky and begin to smash into the positions in a messy manner.

Yang Hao arrived at Tunzi, which was less than ten kilometers away from the former enemy, and Liu Yong sent a report from the front: "The Japanese army destroyed the bridge and set up a position along the river to stubbornly resist it. ”

Shi Jianfei sneered: "This is to play a battle against the water, but it's a pity that they are not good at military calligraphy, and there is no general who can be compared with Han Xin!" This is just a trapped beast fighting, a group of tired teachers don't even have anything to eat, and they are left to die and come back to life? That's looking for death! ”

Yang Hao said happily: "I originally planned to drive them all the way to the mouth of the garden and drown in the sea." Now they don't want to leave, which can save us a lot of effort. Give them a little rest first, and I'll see how they can get up again after they're completely relaxed. ”

The non-stop pursuit for five days and five nights completely drained the last trace of strength of the Japanese army. I don't know how many corpses have died along the way, and what can be held up here is already the limit.

In such a situation, the blow suddenly stops, and once they fall, it will be difficult for them to get up.

The gunfire at the front of the position suddenly stopped, making the remnants of the Japanese think that they were hallucinating. The mountain Motoji sent people to turn back and test, and before he went out, he was beaten back by fierce fire.

Soon after, the buildings surrounding Liujiatun along the river bend were quickly surrounded, and there was no dead end that could be found to lead to guò.

Yamachi Genji's face was like a dead man, and he understood that people had seen through his plan!

For an hour, two hours, the pursuers did not attack, and the unusual silence was like the cold winter air, which pressed on the hearts of the Japanese soldiers.

After all, the time to tense the nerves is limited, and no matter how much they remind themselves, they still can't resist the instinctive reaction of physiology. Whether hiding in a house or lying on a simple fortification that is no more than a foot high, the vast majority of Japanese soldiers are mentally exhausted and drowsy!

Yamachi Genji thought about taking the opportunity to take out the last grain and cook it into porridge so that all the soldiers could eat a mouthful of hot, at least some supporting energy. But as soon as the smoke of their cooking stove rose, shells from afar arrived as promised, and the abominable mortar fell from the top, completely destroying the pot stove with multiple consecutive shots!

In fact, the Japanese army also learned to be obedient, and at the same time lit a lot of fires as bait, but this trick did not work much. Yang Hao's subordinates have a lot of shells, they are not afraid of waste, just smash them one by one first.

There was no hope for that last moment.

Motoji Yamagi looked at the limp soldiers all over the ground, and no amount of shouting could make them take up arms and keep their spirits up. Once the exhaustion crushes the spirit, under the invasion of the cold, many people maintain a hidden posture and pass out!

For three hours, Yang Hao looked at his watch: "It's almost, let's start attacking." Fight to end the battle before it gets dark. ”

The 100mm mortars and 82 mortars carried by the jeep opened fire first, and hundreds of shells were dropped inside and outside the tun one after another, and the explosions and smoke almost engulfed most of the buildings.

Subsequently, two regiments launched a surprise attack from three sides!

A kilometer away, the Japanese forward guard force only fired a sparse bullet, which could hardly cause any damage, and was rushed by the assault team!

Five hundred meters away, it was already the periphery of the tunzi, and there were many ditches and ridges, but the soldiers hidden in it could get up pitifully.

Liu Yong paid special attention to it when he passed by, and found that many of them were already in a state of near death, not to mention fighting, they didn't have the strength to open their eyes, their bodies were stiff and cold, and it took a lot of effort to save them.

Of course, he didn't care about the lives of the Japanese soldiers, freezing them to death would save a bullet.

The two regiments, which were fully manned, broke through to the inner perimeter of Tunzi in company and platoon, and finally began to encounter fierce counterattacks.

It was the garrison of the headquarters of the 1st Division, and they were in much better condition than the rest of the troops, having been well rested and fed. It's just that at the moment, the total number of them is only a few hundred, and they can only surround a narrow core area.

Yang Hao received the report, stopped the strong attack of the front army, gritted his teeth and said: "Use incendiary bombs to burn them!" (To be continued......)
