"Kill!" Amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles guided thousands of soldiers to rush towards the positions of the Japanese army like ocean waves.

Under the heavy artillery fire, the little devils suffered heavy losses, and our attacking troops successfully rushed to the position of the Yue army without encountering any effective resistance, and the first line of defense of the Yue army was declared lost. But the valiant soldiers did not stop long, and continued to attack the deep positions of the army.

"Report to Your Excellency General! **People have broken through the first line of defense of the imperial army, and all the jade of the first brigade is shattered! A military officer bowed his head in grief and reported to Sakai Hoji.

"Baga Ya Road! When did people have such powerful combat power! Sakai said in surprise.

"Your Excellency, General! **The offensive is fierce, and the morale of the imperial army is low, so I suggest that the imperial army immediately turn in the direction of Fengzhen! The brigade chief of staff frowned and persuaded.

Sakai Hoji's brows furrowed even deeper, the matter has come to this point, Sakai Hoji has to admit that he lost his big gamble, according to the current offensive of the ** people, the first mixed brigade of Reading Force can only hold out for two days at most, and even if Tojo Hideki sends reinforcements, it is impossible to arrive in just two days. At this time, Sakai Hoji couldn't care about his self-esteem and the ridiculous imperial glory, he also wanted to retreat to save the first brigade of the Reading Force, the Fourth Tank Brigade had been completely annihilated, and the 1st Brigade of the Reading Field Artillery had also suffered heavy losses, Sakai Hoji had already felt that his future had been bleak, and if the First Brigade of the Reading Force Mixed Brigade was all explained here, Sakai Hoji could imagine what fate would await him.

"Nope! We can't retreat yet! ** people have chariot troops, but also have a cavalry unit, and the hateful ** people also have air supremacy, if we retreat now, ** people are bound to chase all the way to kill, ** people's planes will also bomb the imperial army on the march all the way, that will cause unimaginable losses to the imperial army! Sakai Hoji thought about it and sighed helplessly.

"So what are we going to do?" The chief of staff's face turned pale.

"Only wait until after dark to break through at night!" Sakai Hoji looked up at the sky outside, the sun was shining today, and there were still at least four hours before dark, Sakai Hoji could only pray for their Amaterasu blessing, and the imperial army could survive the difficult four hours without success. "Send another telegram to Commander Tojo at once! If reinforcements are not sent to support it, the 1st Brigade will be in danger of all the jade shattering! ”

In the headquarters of the army on the Xinkou front, Seishiro Itagaki was patiently persuading Hideki Tojo, "Tojo-kun! Now there are more than 30 divisions concentrated on the Xinkou front, close to 300,000 troops. Destroying these 300,000 ** troops is far more important than occupying a Suiyuan, or defeating a small **80 army! Seeing that Hideki Tojo nodded silently, Seishiro Itagaki continued, "Sakai Hoji has an elite unit of a brigade in his hands, but he can't deal with the troops of just one army. Isn't it ridiculous, according to the combat effectiveness of the ** army, the strength of a wing of the imperial army is enough to easily defeat an army of the ** army, not to mention that Sakai Hoji also has a chariot unit in his hand, which is the elite of the elite of the imperial army! ”

For Tojo Hideki suddenly wanted to transfer troops to support Sakai Hoji, Itagaki Seishiro was very puzzled, the current Xinkou battlefield has fallen into a stalemate stage, Itagaki Seishiro is thinking hard about ways to break the deadlock, at this time the transfer of Xinkou's troops will definitely have an impact on the Xinkou battle situation. That's why Seishiro Itagaki persuaded Hideki Tojo so hard. Hideki Tojo's Chahar Dispatch Corps was subordinate to the Kwantung Army battle sequence, while Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division was subordinate to the North China Dispatch Army battle sequence, this time only in a coordinated operation, the two were not subordinate to each other, and both were lieutenant generals, and neither could command the other.

Hideki Tojo sighed helplessly and said, "The **80th Army also has a tank unit, and it is also equipped with an aviation unit, in today's battle, the 4th Tank Brigade was attacked by the ** Air Force and suffered heavy losses, so Sakai Hoji will ask for urgent tactical guidance." "Hideki Tojo already knew the news that the tank brigade was almost wiped out, but he didn't tell Seishiro Itagaki before for the sake of face, and this time he only ambiguously said that he had suffered heavy losses!

Itagaki Seishiro's face couldn't help but change slightly, and if Tojo Hideki could take the initiative to admit the heavy losses, it would mean that the losses of the Fourth Tank Brigade would definitely be not small, and the entire army would have been wiped out. Thinking of this, Itagaki Seishiro couldn't help but have a strong interest in the 80th Army, for the strength of the chariot brigade, Itagaki Seishiro knew very well in his heart, he could make a chariot brigade suffer heavy losses with the power of an army, and fight a unit called an army brigade to urgently ask for help, which is definitely called elite, even better than the central army of the ** Nanjing political axe. But out of his own selfishness, Seishiro Itagaki still didn't want Hideki Tojo to send troops to support Sakai Hoji, so he continued to persuade, "Tojo-kun! Even if there is no chariot brigade, there are still thousands of imperial warriors in Sakai Hoji's hands, if Sakai Hoji is ordered to turn to attack as the leader, the ability of the ** army to attack the imperial army will not be able to help the imperial army! When we successfully capture Taiyuan, wouldn't it be better for Tojo-kun to lead his army north again, annihilate the **80th Army, and capture Suiyuan! ”

"Yo Xi! Itagaki-kun has a point! Then order Sakai Hoji to hold his position, and forgive the ** people can't help the imperial army! When we wipe out the ** army in Xinkou and capture Taiyuan, and then turn back to deal with the ** 80 army in Suiyuan, let's temporarily let those hateful ** pigs live for two more days! Hideki Tojo said with a sneer, and Seishiro Itagaki was relieved when he heard this. The two looked at each other and laughed.

At this moment, an officer of the Japanese army walked up to Hideki Tojo and said loudly, "Report to Your Excellency General!" General Sakai, who was mixed into the 1st Brigade of the Reading Power Brigade, sent a telegram again! ”

"Read!" Hideki Tojo said casually.

"Hayi!" The officer of the army answered, and then opened the folder and read aloud, "At present, our department has fallen into the heavy siege of the ** army, and the ** army is storming the position of the imperial army, and the imperial army has suffered heavy losses!" I decided to break through tonight at night, and asked His Excellency the Commander to send reinforcements to meet as soon as possible, otherwise I will be in danger of being shattered by all the jade in the first brigade! ”

When Tojo Hideki heard this, his face immediately turned pale, he stepped forward and snatched the telegram one by one, read it carefully, and then slapped the telegram on the table next to him, and scolded fiercely, "Yaga Yalu!" Sakai Hoji is such a fool, he has lost all the face of the imperial army! ”

At this time, Itagaki Seishiro also had a shocked expression on his face, and he could fully imagine what kind of danger the First Mixed Brigade of Reading Power was facing if he could force Sakai Hoji to be cheeky enough to send such a telegram. At this time, Seishiro Itagaki's face gradually darkened.

Hideki Tojo glanced at Seishiro Itagaki and said helplessly, "Itagaki-kun! Now that the garrison of Datong is empty, once the first brigade of Reading Power is defeated, **people are likely to take advantage of it**Datong, so I must send troops to support the first mixed brigade of Reading Power, and I hope you can understand. ”

Seishiro Itagaki didn't speak, just nodded his head to show that he understood. Itagaki Seishiro knew in his heart that Hideki Tojo would never allow a brigade under his command to be completely annihilated, let alone allow the newly captured Datong to be recaptured by the ** people. Now no matter what Seishiro Itagaki says, it's useless, so he obediently closed his mouth and didn't speak.

Hideki Tojo sighed helplessly, then turned to the adjutant and ordered, "Immediately order the Second Brigade of Reading Power to transfer the strength of a wing, and quickly go north to meet the First Mixed Brigade of Reading Power to break through, and order Sakai Hoji that idiot to retreat to Fengzhen after breaking through, and you can abandon Fengzhen at a critical moment, but you must ensure the safety of Datong!" ”

"Hayi!" The adjutant replied respectfully, then turned and walked away quickly.

Hearing Hideki Tojo's words, Seishiro Itagaki breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Hideki Tojo, a senior soldier, was still very important, and only one wing of troops was transferred to the north, so although it would have a certain impact on the battle situation in Xinkou, the impact was not too great.

But what Hideki Tojo never dreamed of was that Sakai Hoji didn't even hold out until dark to break through. Faced with the siege of tens of thousands of troops of the 80th Army, although the little devils of the 1st Brigade of Reading Force resisted desperately, they still could not contain the fierce offensive of the 80th Army. The front line was in a hurry, and Sakai Hoji had to send sappers and baggage soldiers to pick up guns and go to the front line, hoping to block the attack of the ** army, and in the end, even the escort squadron protecting the brigade headquarters was transferred, but all these efforts proved to be futile.

The officers and men of the 80 th Army continued to march forward all the way, and the positions of the army were broken through one after another, and the gunfire was getting closer and closer to the brigade and regiment headquarters. Sakai Hoji said to the adjutant beside him with an expressionless face, "Koizumi-kun! Are you ready? ”

The adjutant hurriedly and respectfully responded, "Willing to serve His Excellency the General!" ”

Sakai Hoji nodded expressionlessly, "I'm tired!" Then he knelt under the plaster flag hanging on the wall, and slowly put the official knife on the ** aside. Then he picked up a handful of ribs, slowly pulled it out, and looked at the sharp blade, Sakai Hoji couldn't help but praise, "What a good knife!" ”

sighed, Sakai Hoji unbuttoned his clothes, revealing a piece of ** belly, and then held the ribs with both hands and stabbed his stomach fiercely, the severe pain made Sakai Hoji's face distort instantly, and the big beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead. Sakai Hoji's mouth couldn't help but let out a painful muffled snort. Sakai Hoji endured the intense pain, and his hands forcefully drew a standard cross on his abdomen.

At this time, the adjutant standing behind him decisively raised the saber in his hand, and then cut off Sakai Hoji's head with a brush. After that, the adjutant calmly pulled out his pistol and aimed it at his temple and decisively pulled the trigger. (To be continued.) )
