Chapter 418 Ends

The radio station, which was in charge of liaison with Li Honggang's troops, was silent for 16 hours, and the sudden chirp dissipated the tense atmosphere in the headquarters, and the flashing red light, like a cheerful note, was sent by the telegraph operator to deliver a telegram sent by Li Honggang.

"Division commander, after sixteen hours of mountain marching, our unit has now reached the west bank of the Liugu River, building defensive and blocking positions against the water, with slight losses in soldiers, complete formation, and ready to enter battle at any time."

At the golden four o'clock, Li Honggang's troops, in the muddy and difficult Nuruer Tiger Mountains, arrived at the designated position four xiǎo hours ahead of schedule, and finally rushed ahead of the Itagaki division, blocking their retreat.

"Chief of Staff Li, Itagaki has sensed the intention of our troops, and is now preparing to retreat to the front line of Jinzhou, your unit can use half of the force to launch an attack on the rear guard of the Itagaki Division, and the rest of the troops will closely monitor the second echelon of the Kwantung Army's southward corps, and after one xiǎo hour, the troops on the front and flanks will launch an attack on the Itagaki Division at the same time, and salute all the soldiers on my behalf."

This was Tang Qiuli's telegram to Li Honggang, and he really sincerely praised these soldiers for being able to annihilate the Itagaki Division and block the troops behind it, and bear the first credit.

The well-trained brigades of the Itagaki Division, after receiving the order to retreat, were busy but not luàn, and the various units orderly followed the marching sequence, jiāo took cover, and evacuated the position in an orderly manner, and this alone made Itagaki proud enough.

At this time, Itagaki was not in this mood, he regretfully wished that Chōu had a few big mouths, why didn't he think that Nurul Hushan on the left flank, even if he sent a squadron of vigilant troops, would not be as passive as now.

Frontal hard shock of our Itagaki division, although the devil Tang Qiuli, the strength and firepower are superior, but also have a good tooth, Itagaki self-confidence, under the full impact of the independent division, the division can hold on until the arrival of the second echelon, however, the back road is copied, the situation is different, the belly and back of the enemy, is a taboo for soldiers.

The Akino Wing, which was responsible for breaking off the entire division, nearly 5,000 soldiers, silently took off their steel helmets, put on their bayonets, and wrapped their menstrual belts with the words "Victory" on them, and wrapped them around their heads.

A few hours later, the main force of the Itagaki Division, which had been assembled, began to move, and the soldiers of the Akino Wing, without waiting for the swarming Chinese soldiers, on the opposite side of the independent division's position, there was a loud thunderclap, countless shells, and black crows fell from the sky.

On the blocking position of the Akino Wing, the fire was shining, the smoke column was soaring, shrapnel was flying, the Japanese soldiers cursed in despair, and here again, can't the Chinese use some other tricks? I have the ability to fight bayonets with the warriors of the Japanese Empire

It's a pity that the idea of the Japanese soldiers was not realized until death, the Japanese soldiers who advocated white-knuckle charge, and the independent division, could not find an opponent, Tang Qiuli did not give them such a chance at all, in his words, put the cannon and did not use, and the Japanese played white-knuckle warfare, killing a thousand enemies, self-damage of eight hundred, a fool to do, that is the bullet yào is exhausted, forced to do.

The shells fell, a puff of smoke and dust rose, and the corpses of several Japanese soldiers were thrown high into the air, they were eager to give the opponent a go, but the opponent was an endless number of shells, they only ran desperately, evaded in vain, the artillery fire was too dense, there was no dead angle at all.

Finally, the shelling stopped, and the remaining Japanese soldiers, with faces smoked like xiǎo ghosts, arched out of the dirt, Captain Akino, who was dug out of the soil by several staff officers, like pulling a turnip, and the left ear of His Excellency Wing Commander, unfortunately cut off by the shell, was already in a state of semi-fainting.

In the face of the fierce artillery fire of the independent division, the life of a Japanese soldier is not much more precious than a second lieutenant, once upon a time, the Japanese army relied on superior artillery fire, the lives of the first people in the raging massacre, the history is strikingly similar, but it was the Japanese soldiers who were slaughtered.

The Japanese soldiers finally saw the figure of the Chinese soldiers, their desperate eyes shè with a fierce light, before dying, killing several Chinese soldiers, it was also willing to die, they shook off the dirt on the guns, and the crosshair was silently aimed ahead.

The figure of the Chinese soldier is getting closer and closer, and the Japanese soldier is breathing heavily, strange, why did the Chinese soldier stop? And just outside their infantry weapons.

A row of mortars, the muzzles of the brushes, the remnants of the Japanese soldiers almost fainted, Amakasu, you have syphilis, right? So many artillery pieces from the Chinese.

The mortar sound of "dong dong" was like the note of the king of Yama, blowing up the Japanese army from its hiding place, and the desperate Japanese soldiers, stripped off their shirts, held bright bayonets, howled and rushed over, a dense rain of bullets, and there were many corpses covered with bullet marks on the ground.

The Akino Wing, in less than half a Xiǎo hour, was packed up by the heavy artillery and mortars of the artillery brigade of the Independent Division, which is also the strength of the artillery of the Independent Division, the car pulls the artillery, and the movement speed is extremely fast, in the course of several years of combat career, the artillery unit of the Independent Division has summed up a set of methods for quickly arranging gun emplacements, and can almost follow the infantry to advance.

Itagaki Seishiro listened to the sound of the cannon behind him, and he clenched his mouth in pain, the Akino Wing will definitely be wiped out, and I only hope that they can support it for a while longer to buy time for the main force of the division to cross the Liugu River.

The dense gunfire was getting closer and closer, and the staff officer ran over in a panic to report that the rearguard troops, and the pursuing troops of the independent division, had been fired, because the troops were too small, and they were obviously outnumbered, and asked His Excellency the division commander for instructions.

Itagaki shook his body and almost fell from his horse, and when it was only more than half a month, more than 5,000 people of the Akino Wing were swallowed up by the independent division? It's unbelievable, damn the Shina people, the damn Shina artillery, there is not so heavy artillery fire, the Akino United, can support at least three xiǎo hours.

Itagaki gritted his teeth, called a wing commander, and ordered his wing to immediately carry out a counter-assault on the pursuers of the independent division, and get mixed up with the squadron, which is the best way to avoid being killed and wounded by the artillery of the independent division.

Itagaki also has no way, to put it nicely, it is to block the attack step by step, in fact, it is to take the corpses of the soldiers, slow down the speed of pursuit, arrogant and strong like Itagaki and the soldiers of the Itagaki Division, in the face of the artillery of the independent division, they also have to adopt the method of fighting attrition, and the bayonet cannot reach the artillery.

Itagaki's method was effective, and there were no shells flying as dense as meteors on the charging road of the Japanese counter-assault wing, and the artillery of the independent division that was in motion did not have time to arrange gun emplacements.

The shouts of thousands of Japanese troops resounded throughout the field, and Huang Làng generally pressed towards the forward troops of the independent division, and the Japanese soldiers who were angry with the blood of their companions broke out with unprecedented ferocity, fighting face-to-face jiāo hand battles, and the Itagaki division was not afraid of any troops, and the ** people without artillery fire were the objects to be slaughtered in front of the bayonets.

Sure enough, the Chinese soldiers stopped, and they were scared? On the opposite side, there were strange guns that had never been seen before, and several barrels were connected in parallel, and the dream of the Japanese counterattack wing ended here.

This is the Gaoping dual-purpose machine gun of the independent division's air defense brigade and the infantry brigade, and after a few days of fighting, because of the continuous rain, the Japanese planes did not patronize it, and it did not come in handy, and in a hurry, it was used here by Tang Qiuli.

Hundreds of tǐng four-barreled parallel Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns, all aimed at the Japanese stormtrooper formation and fired, not the kind of "da-da" sound, but a dull "bang-bang" sound, just like countless drums sounding together, the bullet used, the power is much greater than that of the heavy machine gun, a bullet, can stop people from the waist and interrupt.

Blood ròu horizontal flying, can only be used blood ròu horizontal flying to describe the Japanese army's stormtroop formation, thumb-thick bullets, the Japanese soldier who was hit, the body was broken from the middle, the blood hún combined with the internal organs, turned into a rain of blood, the remaining bullets, with the body temperature and blood of the previous Japanese soldier, and drilled into the body of the Japanese soldier behind, huge kinetic energy, the body he took flew upside down, and when it fell to the ground, it was already a fragmented piece.

Horror, absolute horror, the soldiers who participated in the battle of the Shanhaiguan Total Annihilation of the Itagaki Division, recalled afterwards, and used these two words to describe the scene at that time, Gao shè machine gun hit the infantry, that is, the red-hot iron bar was used to pass through the nǎi cheese.

The huge "bang bang" sound stopped, and none of the Japanese soldiers of a wing participating in the counter-assault were alive, and it was useless to lie down, the bullets passed through the dirt and still entered the body, and hundreds of high-level dual-purpose machine guns, like countless iron rods, smashed in the Japanese stormtroopering formation, blood splashed everywhere, and corpses flew sideways.

Treading on the land where dirt and blood meet, enduring the pungent smell of blood, the troops continued to pursue, and the scene just now was deeply imprinted in the minds of the soldiers.

The retreating advance guard troops of the Itagaki Division suddenly moved, and immediately after, dense artillery sounds sounded in front of them, and Li Honggang's blocking sub-unit finally fired, giving the hasty retreating Itagaki Division a head-on blow, and it was Qi shè of an artillery brigade that came up.

Itagaki had a pale face, he still didn't escape the fate of being surrounded, and he was an artillery member of the squadron, how did they cross Nurur Tiger Mountain and run behind me? The position of listening to the sound of artillery came from the direction of Suizhong City, and Suizhong was also lost, and the idea of holding on to the city was also frustrated.

Itagaki seems to smell the smell of death in the air, and the courage of Itagaki is now lost, and the only hope is that the two divisions of the second echelon can arrive in time, and he may still have a chance of life.

The battle lasted until dusk, and the troops in the Nuruer Tiger Mountain area suddenly came out, and the left rib of the Itagaki Division, which was not supported, was slashed fiercely, and the Itagaki Division finally could not support it, and the remaining more than 26,000 troops were compressed in the area of Yong'an Fort, the avant-garde, and the wasteland, with a radius of no more than ten square kilometers.

The three troops of the independent division quickly encircled and tightly surrounded the remnants of the Itagaki Division, and it was only a matter of time before the Itagaki Division was destroyed.
