Xue Yue looked at the wall clock on the wall and fell into a long silence.

The shortest hand of the clock can already point to 12 o'clock in the night, and in a few minutes, it will be the early morning of October 7, which also means that the 58th Division has been defending Wanjialing for nearly 50 hours, facing the two-sided attack of the two small Japanese master regiments with the strength of one division, and this is not a defense on the preset fortifications, but a complete encounter, but it can be held for 50 hours, which is unique since the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.

Xue Yue has always looked down on the Central Army, thinking that the Central Army is a bunch of bullshit waste, Xue Yue has always thought that the Guangdong Army is the most capable of fighting, but at this moment, Xue Yue asked himself, and he must admit that if he changes any division of the Guangdong Army, he is afraid that he will not be able to do the 58th Division, which is almost an impossible task.

However, the 58th Division did it, and they did the impossible

It's just that the officers and men of the 58th Division, who are still fighting on the Wanjialing front, have not yet realized this

Lieutenant General Wu Yizhi, chief of staff of the 1st Corps, hurriedly walked into the war room with a telegram and reported to Xue Yue: "General, the 18th Pei has just sent another telegram, the 58th Division is in a bad situation, and the defense lines at the east and west ends are on the verge of collapse. ”

Xue Yue was silent for a few seconds before he said, "Wait." ”

No one noticed that when Xue Yue said the words "wait a little longer", the hands behind his back suddenly clenched together, because he was too hard, even the green tendons on the back of his hands were bulging, obviously, at this moment, Xue Yue's mood was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

Xue Yue knew very well what these three words meant to the 58th Division.

For the 58th Division, waiting any longer will probably mean that the remaining few hundred remnants of Zuihou will not be protected, and it will more likely mean the total annihilation of the 58th Division

However, from Xue Yue's standpoint, from the standpoint of the commander-in-chief of the L Corps, he must be ruthless

If you take an analogy, Xue Yue and Okamura Ningci are like two gamblers, they are making a big gamble with the Wanjialing battlefield as a gambling table, Xue Yue's open card is the 58th Division, and Okamura Ningci's open card is the 10th Pei Group, and the discerning people can see that the open cards of the two are not equal, Xue Yue obviously wants to be small and big.

But Okamura Ningji is not good at stubble, and it is not easy for Xue Yue to be big with a small one.

If Xue Yue wants to use the 58th Division to redeem Okamura Ningji's 10th Pei Regiment, he must hold the hole cards in his hand, and only at the moment of Zuihou, when Okamura Ningji thought that he had won, he suddenly showed his hole cards and reversed the situation in one fell swoop, only in this way can he give the opponent the greatest mental blow.

The battle of Wanjialing is not the end of the encirclement of the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan, and then it will be annihilated, and if the spirit of the 10th Pei Regiment of Little Japan is not defeated, and if it is not defeated, I don't know how many twists and turns will it will take in the next war of annihilation, let alone how many more officers and soldiers of the country will die.

Therefore, before Zuihou, Xue Yue would never let the 18th Pei go into battle.

This may be unfair to the officers and men of the 58th Division, but from Xue Yue's standpoint, it must be done.

Of course, Wu Yizhi can understand Xue Yue's decision, from the perspective of the overall situation, Xue Yue is indeed understandable to do this, this is definitely not a factional dumping, let alone Xue Yue's opinion of the Central Army, so he wants to take the opportunity to weaken it, and sighed at the moment: "But I am worried about it, the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division can't figure it out in their hearts." ”

Xue Yue said: "When the battle is over, I will give them an explanation." ”

(Dividing Line)

Just after midnight, the Iino Wing launched a general attack on Takayama Peak.

Xu 19 divided the remaining 90 people into more than 40 groups and scattered them all over the hillside, although to a certain extent, delayed the time for the small Japanese to attack the top of the mountain, but also inevitably weakened the firepower of the 19th Brigade, and the result was that the small Japan ate away at the defensive position of the 19th Brigade little by little without any suspense.

Half an hour later, Little Japan was approaching the main peak.

Another flare rose into the air with a piercing screech, raining down a dazzling glare of light.

With the dazzling strong light, it can already be seen clearly that dozens of Japanese soldiers have gone up to the main peak with bayonets, and they are only a stone's throw away from the Zuihou defense line of the 19th Brigade, and at this time there are only a dozen people left around Xu 19, Gao Shenxing, Lu Jianbang, Black Blind, Hu Jie and Wang Yidao, these veterans are still alive.

That's how it works in war, it's always those recruits who die the fastest.

Gao Shenxing killed two Japanese soldiers with two shots in a row, and the covering machine gun set up by the little Japanese on the hill in front of him immediately swept over, if Gao Shenxing hadn't reacted quickly and quickly retracted into the foxhole, he was afraid that the little Japan had been beaten into a sieve at this moment, but Gao Shenxing had temporarily escaped a catastrophe, but he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the next catastrophe.

Under the cover of machine guns, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers had rushed to the foxhole where Gao Shenxing was hiding with bayonets, and one of the Japanese soldiers had already untied a grenade from his waist and was knocking on the steel helmet.

There are no bullets, not only Li Zihan, but others also have bullets.

When the gunfire on the top of the hill fell, the Japanese soldiers unscrupulously pulled the bolt of the gun and withdrew the bullet from the chamber.

The moment of zuihou has come, Xu 19 did not say a word, and jumped out of the trench with the bayonet in his hand, at the same time that Xu 19 jumped out of the trench, a black shadow had been shot out like an arrow, but it was the military dog Xiao Hei rescued by the 19th brigade, Xiao Hei rushed to a Japanese soldier in an instant, and then jumped over the shoulders of the Japanese soldier with his front paws, and then without waiting for the Japanese soldier to react, he had already bitten his throat, and the sharp fangs pierced into the neck of the Japanese soldier, and even the major artery on the side of the neck penetrated instantly, Then, Xiao Hei pulled harder, and pulled a large piece of flesh from the neck of the Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier's broken throat fell to the ground with bubbling blood bubbles, and he couldn't even scream anymore.

Xu Nineteen was the second to rush into the Japanese army, holding two short-handled bayonets in both hands, and used the assassination Jishu to the extreme, and everywhere he passed, the Japanese soldiers fell in a pool of blood, and no one was his opponent at all, which was like a move between an amateur swordsman and a kendo nine-dan master, and there was no suspense at all.

Immediately behind Xu Nineteen were Gao Shenxing, Lu Jianbang, Black Blind, Hu Jie and other veterans of a hundred battles, although the assassination of these veterans was not as powerful as Xu Nineteen, but it was much more powerful than ordinary Japanese soldiers, more than a dozen people were like a dozen lions that were completely enraged, opened their bloody mouths, showed their claws, and roared into the hyena group.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed to the top of the mountain had a squad of more than 70 people, and the little Japan originally thought that they could win this white-knuckle battle without any suspense, but they did not expect to encounter more than a dozen assassination masters, and the result was a fiasco without suspense, and the consequence of the failure was the annihilation of the entire army, and in just ten minutes before and after, more than 70 Japanese soldiers were completely wiped out.

Kenten Iino who was waiting at the foot of the mountain witnessed this white-knuckle battle through a telescope, and the old devil couldn't believe his eyes, but in addition to being surprised, the old devil was also completely enraged, and immediately held his saber and personally led half a brigade of more than 500 Japanese soldiers to pounce on the main position at the top of the mountain.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers surging up under the mountain, Gao Shenxing turned around and smiled miserably at Xu Shijiu, and said, "How about it, I'm not wrong, right?" Until our 58th Division is all exhausted, Commander-in-Chief Xue's reinforcements will never be put into battle, accept fate, cannon fodder, we are a group of poor cannon fodder. ”

Li Zihan gasped, the white-knuckle battle just now had exhausted all his physical strength, and he didn't even have the strength to fight with Gao Shenxing, Xu Shijiu wiped the blood on his sleeve with a bayonet, and said: "Even if it is cannon fodder, we have to face the little Japan, and escaping from the battle is definitely not the style of our 19th Brigade"

After speaking, Xu Shijiu turned around with the bayonet in his hand and strode down the mountain.

In the past, no matter how difficult it was, no matter how dangerous it was, Xu Jiujiu never gave up the idea of life, but today, Xu Jiujiu had the will to die, at this moment, he just wanted to die here, he was tired of this desperate battle, sometimes, living is actually a burden, but when he died, he was relieved.
