Outside Liaoyang, the position of the Japanese Second Division was a ring of fortifications formed by trenches. The remaining more than 10,000 people of the Second Division have been compressed here.

It's just that the situation of the 2nd Division is very bad now, and they have been surrounded by the 1st Infantry Division and the 8th Infantry Division of the Jilin Army and their instructors. I want to break out of the encirclement, but there is no way to do it. The main forces of the 2nd Division had already been lost in the previous battles. Most of the remaining troops are composed of second-line troops such as the engineer wing and the baggage wing. In addition, the artillery units of the 2nd Division were gone, the artillery was completely destroyed, and the artillery could only be used as infantry.

It can be said that the current Second Division has entered the point of running out of ammunition and food. As long as the Jilin Army launched a final attack, the Second Division would not be able to resist it at all. Of course, the reason why the Second Division of the Japanese Army is still holding on to it is entirely because of the belief in its heart. The two divisions of the Korean army were about to arrive, and the 6th and 8th Divisions were also coming from Dalian to the north. As long as they can persevere, they will be able to escape.

Of course, all this is Wu Haoxuan's plan. Now that the fish have been baited, is it necessary to keep the bait?

On the morning of 5 September, after the rising sun rose over the horizon, the positions of the 1st Infantry Division and the 8th Infantry Division and instructors of the Jilin Army were already busy. The infantrymen, having breakfast, had already moved into attack positions. The artillerymen also advanced the artillery positions one by one, and the shells were piled up.

Everyone's face is filled with a confident gaze. Although, the battlefield is very dangerous. But they were not afraid. After the previous stage of fighting, the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese has been shattered. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Jilin Army, the Japanese army was just a group of slightly stronger dwarfs, and a single bullet could also knock them down.

The abnormal movement on the position of the Jilin Army immediately attracted the attention of the Japanese army. These days, the Japanese army has completely become a frightened bird. After the Jilin army surrounded them, although it did not launch a large-scale attack. However, daily shelling and harassment attacks are indispensable. This caused the Japanese 2nd Division to pay huge casualties for this. In a few days, the Japanese army has already paid huge losses.

The temporary headquarters of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army was located behind a small mound, the only place the Japanese could find to hide outside Liaoyang. Of course, this is also relative to other plains. In the event of a large-scale shelling, I am afraid that it will not be spared. After all, it is very difficult to find a foolproof hiding place on a flat land of several square kilometers.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, those Zhina people are preparing to attack." The chief of staff of the division, Ikuta Meshin Osa, reported to Lieutenant General Matsunaga Masatoshi in a panic. His eyes were full of panic and fear, and he had long since lost all the arrogance and arrogance of the Japanese Army in the past.

"Ikuta-kun, what are you panicking about? The sky won't fall yet. General Hasegawa's reinforcements will be able to reach Liaoyang in two days at most. Lieutenant General Masatoshi Matsunaga said. Hasegawa Yoshimichi's reinforcements arrived, and it became his only hope.

"But, General, this time the people seem to be about to launch a general attack." Ikuta Meshin Osa hesitated for a moment, and then said.

Lieutenant General Matsunaga Masatoshi's face suddenly changed drastically, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes. Although the horror was fleeting, no one noticed. However, it also undoubtedly shows his true heart.

"Ikuta-kun, tell all the ministries that they must resist the attack of the Shina people, and persistence is victory. By the time General Hasegawa's reinforcements arrived, we won. In addition to General Hasegawa, General Oshima also arrived with two divisions. When the time comes, we will be able to defeat the Shina in one piece. Lieutenant General Masatoshi Matsunaga's face was full of hideousness. The Second Division suffered such a fiasco, for him, it was a complete shame, if he could not defeat the Jilin Army, a shame, then what face did he have to continue to live. According to the practice of the Japanese Army, he probably had only one way to commit suicide.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Ikutameshin nodded. However, the worries in his heart did not dissipate. He was now completely certain that the Second Division was in an existential crisis. At the beginning, the Jilin Army used Shengjing City as bait to lure the Second Division to take the bait. After the second division was hooked, it was used as bait again, and the two divisions of the Korean Army under General Hasegawa Yoshimichi and the two divisions under General Yoshimasa Oshima became fish.

"Damn the Shina people, they actually used four elite divisions of the Imperial Army as bait at once, and wanted to destroy five elite divisions of the Imperial Army in World War I. Their appetites are too good, aren't they? Ikuta Meshin Osa thought secretly in his heart. He also knew that Lieutenant General Matsunaga Masatoshi was definitely not unaware of this, but he didn't want to believe it.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Heavy artillery shelling was heard, and it was more than a hundred 105-mm light howitzers and 75-mm field guns of the 1st Infantry Division, the 8th Infantry Division and instructors of the Jilin Army firing. At this moment, the Japanese Second Division had been compressed into several positions of only a few square kilometers. Although the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army built strong fortifications, it was impossible to withstand the heavy artillery fire of the Jilin Army.

Due to the lack of materials, the defense line constructed by the Japanese 2nd Division was basically just civil fortifications. The Jilin Army's 105 mm guns could easily destroy these fortifications.

In the fierce artillery bombardment of the Jilin Army, I saw fireballs rising from the Japanese position. One after another, the Japanese army's firing points were blown away, and the stumps and severed arms were splashed everywhere and fell everywhere, just like the scene of hell.

The Jilin Army's artillery preparations this time were very sufficient, and it lasted for an hour, firing more than 10,000 shells, almost plowing the Japanese defensive position. Most of the Japanese fortifications were destroyed in the heavy shelling, and the positions were in shambles, and countless Japanese soldiers were killed. The already low morale is further approaching the freezing point.

"Attack!" After the artillery preparation was over, the three infantry divisions of the Jilin Army divided into three directions and launched an attack on the last position of the Japanese 2nd Division. During this wave of the offensive, each of the three infantry divisions threw in an infantry regiment. The fierce attack of tens of thousands of elites broke through the Japanese defense line in an instant and began to strangle the remnants of the Japanese army.

"Mortar, knock out that point of machine-gun fire of the enemy." Captain Wang Qian lay on the ground and gave the order.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The mortars in the rear fired two shells in succession, blowing up the Japanese machine-gun fire point into the sky. The heavy machine guns and light machine guns of the Jilin Army opened fire together to suppress the Japanese firepower. The Japanese troops who fought and held out couldn't raise their heads at all.

The attacking Jilin Army took the opportunity to attack the Japanese position.

"Bang Bang!" The pistol opened fire quickly, killing several Japanese soldiers in the trenches. The infantry followed the trenches and began to clear the Japanese inside.

The Jilin Army made breakthroughs in all defensive lines, and the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, which also further compressed the Japanese army's space for movement. In the end, the Japanese army could only be eaten in one bite gradually.

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard! Come on! Kill all those chinas. A group of Japanese soldiers frantically rushed towards the Jilin Army.

However, they were greeted by crossfire from light and heavy machine guns, and the Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground in rows as if they were cutting wheat.

By noon, a third of the Japanese positions had been occupied. The remaining 10,000 Japanese soldiers were crammed into a small space.

At this time, the Jilin Army did not adopt the method of strong attack, but used mortars to continuously fire at the Japanese army, and exchanged shells for the lives of the Japanese army. The Japanese troops huddled together, and their defense increased greatly. But in the same way, it also makes them much more likely to be hit by shells. Often, a single shell can cause a bloody storm in the ranks of the Japanese army, taking away a large number of lives.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we may not be able to hold it." Ikuta Meshin Daisa reported to Lieutenant General Masatoshi Matsunaga with a frustrated expression.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Matsunaga Masatoshi is also lonely and desperate. Although he didn't want to believe it, it was the case, so he couldn't believe it!

The fierce attack of the Jilin Army caused the Japanese Second Division to pay heavy losses. And this also seems to indicate that the end of the second division of the Japanese army is coming. It was a complete shame for the Second Division that an elite division of the Japanese army, which had made a name for itself in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, to fall into the armed hands of a local warlord in China.

"Ikuta-kun, please come and help me, please!" Lieutenant General Matsunaga Masatoshi knelt on the ground, already holding a katana in his hand.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, who are you? Things haven't gotten to this point yet? Ikuta Meshin Osaku was stunned.

"The situation is irreparable, and as the division commander of the 2nd Division, I am responsible for this. Only seppuku can keep my glory, please. Lieutenant General Masatoshi Matsunaga said stubbornly.

In the end, Ikutame Shinosa still nodded.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, in the last life, we will expand the territory of the empire." After Lieutenant General Matsunaga finished chanting this slogan, he thrust the katana in his hand into his stomach, and then, pulling it to the side fiercely, trying to cut out a perfect "ten".
