    Ohnosuke knew that he had to make a decision at this time.  If they let those artillery bombard them for another day tomorrow, all of them would die in this valley.

    When the reinforcements arrive, they will probably come to collect their corpses.

    "Reporting to the brigade commander, 270 people were killed, 352 were injured, and there are only 547 soldiers available to fight." A Japanese officer reported loudly.

    Hearing this, Okouchi Nosuke's heart sank.

    It was just one day, and their troops had suffered such serious losses, which he never expected.  Of the more than 2,000 people who set out, only more than 500 people were injured or killed at this time. Even his chief of staff, Saburo Toobo, was bombarded to pieces by artillery shells, and even his body could not be found.

    Ohnouchi glanced at the embarrassed Japanese soldiers, sighed, and then walked towards the team of wounded.

    There are more than 300 wounded here, some of whom have lost the ability to move.

    Seeing their brigade commander walking towards them, these Japanese soldiers seemed to have a premonition of something.  Because at this critical moment, these wounded people are definitely a huge burden to the troops breaking through.

    "Soldiers, you are all the bravest warriors in the empire. We are now in a dilemma. If we can't cut off our arms, the whole army will be annihilated." Okawauchi Nosuke said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

    "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I will stay on the position, and when they search the position, I will detonate the grenades on me and die with them." A Japanese soldier who had one of his legs blown off said lying on the ground.

    His other leg has been blown off. Although it has been bandaged, if he gets timely treatment, he can still survive.  But at this time, if the troops take him with them, their marching and charging speed will inevitably be reduced.

    The other wounded soldiers also raised their arms and shouted, expressing their desire to die with the enemy.

    When Okawauchi Nosuke heard these voices, he felt tears welling up in his eyes. He shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, the task of covering our retreat will be left to you!" As he said that, he pulled up a wounded man who was covered in blood.  palm.

    The uninjured Japanese soldiers on the other side were looking at the wounded team with sympathetic eyes.  They knew that after tonight, the Japanese soldiers who stayed here to cover their retreat would all die in this valley.

    And they are the lucky ones who can participate in the breakout troops.  Although to a certain extent, even if they break through, they may not be able to survive, but it is undoubtedly a road full of hope, and at least some people will survive in the end.  And everyone here hopes to be one of the lucky ones.

    While the Japanese army was preparing to break out in full swing, the encirclement troops led by Xia Yang did not relax.

    Xia Yang had already observed the terrain of the entire valley before and found that this was a suitable place for a breakout. There were actually only two directions.

    One is the high ground where Zheng Fei and the others are stationed. As long as the Japanese army ignores all casualties, they can break through directly from that direction at night.  It will be difficult for a cavalry regiment that lacks heavy machine guns and other firepower to stop these Japanese troops from breaking through.

    There is another direction, which is the hillside where he is.

    Under this hillside, there is a road leading to the grain storage valley.  If the Japanese army is determined to break out from this direction, some of them can also break out after paying huge casualties.

    Therefore, Xia Yang must strictly monitor both directions.  As for the Japanese army breaking out from other directions, he is not worried, because the terrain in other directions is very steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. If they want to attack from those directions, they will probably fail even after paying heavy casualties.  any progress.

    Therefore, in response to these two possible directions, Xia Yang dispatched several heavy machine guns and some soldiers to carry out key guarding.  In addition, there are two cavalry companies, ready to provide support in other directions on the flanks at any time.

    In addition, Xia Yang also has infrared night vision devices and a large number of flares to provide them with lighting in the dark night.  In this way, even if the Japanese army wants to break through, there is a possibility of being intercepted by them.

    As night slowly fell, the soldiers who were observing the movements of the Japanese army with infrared night vision devices suddenly ran to Xia Yang's side and said: "Master, they have begun to take action."

    Hearing this, Xia Yang opened his eyes, then yawned greatly, picked up the infrared night vision device, and looked at the Japanese troops in the valley.

      Sure enough, in the valley, a group of Japanese troops had completed their assembly and began to move slowly toward them.  This group of Japanese troops was quite large in number, and Xia Yang could see that a large area of ??the infrared night vision device was showing red.

    That is the temperature of the human body surface, as shown on the infrared night vision device. This is also the working principle of the infrared night vision device. Through the body temperature emitted by the human body, they can be detected by the infrared night vision even in the dark night.  The user of the vision device accurately observes the position.

    The Japanese army was divided into two groups, and one group of Japanese troops stayed on the position without any movement.  Xia Yang guessed that the group of Japanese soldiers might be their wounded, who were left behind to block the pursuing troops coming from behind.

    By doing this, on the one hand, it will buy time for healthy soldiers to break out, and on the other hand, it will reduce their burden and pressure so as not to become a burden to those soldiers who break out.

    After all, if you want to bring such a large number of wounded people to break through, the speed will definitely be much slower. It won't take long for Xia Yang and his pursuit troops to catch up.

    Seeing the Japanese troops cautiously moving in his direction, Xia Yang realized that it was very likely that the Japanese troops would break out from his direction.

    ¡°After all, the roads here are wider. If they can catch them by surprise, they can escape from this valley very quickly.

    "Lao Niu, the little devil has touched me, please pay attention to the brothers." Xia Yang said in a low voice.

    Niu Shushi nodded, and then whispered the order to the ears of other soldiers.  In this way, Xia Yang's order was passed on to the entire battlefield within a few minutes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
