The Japanese military regarded seppuku as a very sacred thing and regarded it as a glorious thing. Seppuku pays attention to cutting out a "ten" figure from the wound, so that it is perfect. Of course, this is quite a painful thing for a seppuku person.

Perhaps, they had the courage to cut out the first knife and plunge the katana into their stomachs. However, the second knife has to be pulled out to the side, which requires a lot of courage and endurance. Often, in that kind of painful situation, no one is able to make this step. Therefore, another person needs to be by your side to assist you.

When Lieutenant General Masatoshi Matsunaga was seppuku, this was the task of Ikuta Meshin Daisa. When Lieutenant General Masatoshi Matsunaga was unable to continue pulling the katana in his hand aside because of severe pain, Ikutame Shinosa stepped forward, grabbed the katana, and pulled it to the side.

In the end, Lieutenant General Matsunaga Masatoshi got his wish and cut out a "ten" on his stomach. However, because of the severe pain, his face was no longer hideous at the moment.

"Ikuta-kun, thank you...... Thank! After Lieutenant General Matsunaga Masatoshi said this, his head tilted and he lost his life, ending his sinful life. However, a smile appeared on his face, as if he had no regrets.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you have gone all the way. I'll be with you right away. Ikutameshin Osa pulled out his matching gun, aimed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" Crisp gunshots rang out. Ikutame Shinosa's head was punched with a hole, and blood mixed with the brain pulp sprayed to the side. His body fell heavily to the ground. The sparkle in his eyes dissipated little by little. At this moment, Ikutame's new Osa sounded the wives and children who were far away in Japan. If they hadn't set foot on Chinese soil, maybe they wouldn't have all this, and they would have been able to live happily.

Of course, there are no ifs in this world. Today, Japan has already embarked on a road of no return. If they want to rise, they must absorb enough nutrients. China, a huge country, can provide Japan with these nutrients. But again, if they want to defeat the Chinese resistance, the Japanese must pay a sufficient price. As long as they do not give up their ambition to invade China for a day, their future is quite miserable.

Although, Lieutenant General Matsunaga Masatoshi has already seppuku, and the chief of staff, Ikuta Meshin Shinosa, has also committed suicide. However, the battle is not over. The commander of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, Major General Nanbu Tatsunai, and the commander of the 15th Infantry Brigade, Major General Ryzo Kawachi, were still stubbornly resisting.

The fierce fighting lasted from September 5 to the morning of September 6. The remnants of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, more than 10,000 people, were all annihilated. Only a very small number of Japanese troops were captured, and the rest were killed. Or, for those Japanese soldiers who suffered heavy losses, the Jilin Army was very merciful to give them a shot and send them to hell, so that they would not suffer any more.

When the Japanese Second Division was surrounded and annihilated, the Japanese Third Division and the 10th Division of the Korean Army led by General Hasegawa Yoshimichi were rapidly advancing from Andong to Liaoyang. In particular, after the Jilin Army launched the final siege of the Second Division, the Korean Army accelerated the pace of its march. On the morning of September 6, the forward unit of the North Korean army had arrived at Longbow Ridge. It is only twenty or thirty kilometers away from Liaoyang.

However, Longbow Ridge was like a moat for the North Korean army, making it impossible for them to climb over at all. The 2nd Infantry Division of the Jilin Army built a solid defensive offensive at Longbow Ridge, just waiting for the North Korean army to collide headlong.

The 6th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which served as the vanguard, slammed into the defense line of the Jilin Army, and the head of the collision broke and bled out. They launched several attacks in a row, but they were unable to break through the defense line of the Jilin Army, but instead lost their troops. In the end, the wing commander Watari Keiyuki Osa had no choice but to ask the division commander, Lieutenant General Haruno Okubo, for tactical guidance.

The main force of the Japanese Korean Army, less than ten kilometers from the vanguard. After learning that the 6th Infantry Wing had been intercepted, the commander of the Korean Army, General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, immediately realized that something was wrong.

The Jilin Army they encountered along the way before was often crushed at the first touch, and they couldn't confront them at all. But this time, the Jilin Army easily withstood their attack. Obviously, this is simply a trap for the Jilin Army.

Senior General Yoshimichi Hasegawa summoned Lieutenant General Haruno Okubo, commander of the 3rd Division, Lieutenant General Sadami Yasuto, commander of the 10th Division, and Major General Keikuro Muta, chief of staff of the Korean Army, to discuss countermeasures.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is only one Longbow Ridge left in front of us now. As soon as we crossed Longbow Ridge, we would be able to join up with the 2nd Division. The second division will not be annihilated by the Chinese people, and we will not only be able to save the face of the Imperial Army, but also defeat the Chinese people in one fell swoop. General Hasegawa said. Now, it's the last step, and it would be a shame to give up like that.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the terrain of Longbow Ridge is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the Chinese have deployed heavy troops at Longbow Ridge, it will be difficult for us to break through the defense line of the Chinese people. Lieutenant General Haruno Okubo said with a frown. The 6th Infantry Brigade under his command had already withdrawn to the country due to heavy losses. Now only the 5th Infantry Brigade and the divisional units remain. As for the 10th Division, the losses were also not small. Therefore, he is not optimistic about this battle.

"However, the 2nd Division is in danger, and we are the only force that can save them. If we can't get there in time, once the second division is completely annihilated, I'm afraid we will also be responsible. Lieutenant General Anton said.

Although, the remaining two divisions of the Kwantung Army were also rushing to Liaoyang, the destruction of the railway line greatly affected their speed. Therefore, now the only one who can rescue the second division is the North Korean army.

"If we go with all our might, will we be able to break through the defense line of the China's people at Longbow Ridge?" General Hasegawa asked. Obviously, he had already made up his mind. No matter what, the Second Division must not be completely annihilated. Otherwise, it would be humiliating for the Japanese Army. None of these generals can escape their involvement. Even if it is the best outcome, I am afraid that it will be retired from active service.

"Your Excellency, I am afraid that this is a trap for the Chinese. It was with the Second Division that they drew us into their encirclement. Now, isn't it because we have already taken the bait that the people of China are desperately attacking the second division? Major General Keikuro Muta said.

Everyone was stunned, but then they shook their heads.

"How could the people of China annihilate the entire Korean army in one fell swoop? Although we suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of the Yalu River, we still have more than 30,000 people. If the Chinese want to annihilate us in one fell swoop, then how much loss will they have to pay, 50,000 people? Or 100,000 people? Lieutenant General Sadami Ando shook his head, apparently thinking that Major General Keikuro Muta was overthinking.

Admiral Hasegawa Yoshimichi also nodded, agreeing with Lieutenant General Anton Sadami's point of view. After all, the strength of the North Korean army was twice that of the 2nd Division. After the main force of the Jilin Army has been attracted by the second division, can it still draw enough troops to besiege them? This is obviously impossible. What's more, the remaining two divisions of the Kwantung Army are also approaching Liaoyang, and even if the Jilin Army deploys the main force to besiege the Korean Army, how can they deal with the Sixth Division and the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army? Once the main force of the Kwantung Army and the Korean Army join forces, it is even more likely that the Jilin Army will be defeated in one fell swoop.

"Well, the 3rd Division immediately concentrates all its strength on Longbow Ridge, and at all costs, it must also take Longbow Ridge before dark. Tomorrow we will join up with the 2nd Division. Admiral Hasegawa Yoshimichi ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Lieutenant General Haruno Okubo, Lieutenant General Sadami Ando and Major General Keikuro Muta all replied.

At this time, a staff officer hurriedly broke into the temporary headquarters.

"Your Excellency, the commander, something is wrong, the second division has been completely annihilated. General Matsunaga Masatoshi has been seppuku, and General Nanbu Tatsuuchi and Kawachi Reizo have been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. The staff officer said.

"What? How is this possible? Hasegawa was shocked, his figure shook violently, and he almost didn't stand still, and fell to the ground.

The other three were also mouth-open, unable to believe such a fact.

"Trap, it's a trap. Your Excellency, Commander, immediately ordered the troops to shrink and retreat towards Anton. Otherwise, it's too late. Major General Keikuro Muta exclaimed.

However, even if the Japanese army starts to react from now on, it will be too late. The 4th Infantry Division and the 5th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army have been pressing on the North Korean Army from both sides. Behind them were the 6th Infantry Division and the 7th Infantry Division, which had suffered relatively light losses in the Battle of the Yalu River, with five infantry divisions and more than 90,000 men, encircling the Korean army.

As for the 3rd Infantry Division, which had suffered heavy losses in the Battle of the Yalu River, it was resting. A large number of additional troops have arrived, joined the troops, and are running in. They need to build up their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time so that they can continue to fight the rest of the war.

The 1st Infantry Division, the 8th Infantry Division and instructors of the Jilin Army, which had just ended the Battle of Liaoyang, were also immediately replenished. Among them, the 8th Infantry Division and Instructor, which suffered smaller losses, were responsible for blocking the 6th and 8th Divisions of the Kwantung Army. The 1st Infantry Division will continue to rest in Liaoyang, and after completing the rest, it will become the reserve force for this campaign together with the 3rd Infantry Division.
