Taro Hirakawa looked at Itagaki Seishiro for a while, and then said after a while: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I would rather die on this battlefield with my soldiers than become a straggler and be defeated by the enemy in the mountains."
With that said, he turned around and walked directly outside the temporary headquarters.
Several staff officers nearby wanted to call Taro Hirakawa, but were stopped by Seishiro Itagaki.
"Let him go." Itagaki Seishiro said, "Hirakawa Taro-kun is a true samurai, and he is willing to die in a samurai way."
"But¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"
"There is nothing left to do. You immediately follow my order and have the Fifth Division and several other brigades prepare to act according to the established plan. The action time is at ten o'clock, and the red signal flare is the signal for you to start taking action. "Itagaki Seishiro said.
Hearing this, the Japanese staff officer next to him immediately saluted him and then passed on his order.
At this moment, he suddenly called his guard captain.
"What's wrong? Your Excellency, division commander?"
The guard captain asked.
Itagaki Seishiro looked at him, then showed a somewhat bitter smile and said: "I wonder if Lieutenant Colonel Oguri is willing to stay with me, cover the retreat of the troops, and be the last person in the rear."
He took a step forward and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I will lead the guards to cover their retreat. You can retreat with them."
"But Itagaki Seishiro shook his head, and then said: "No, I have already decided. Regarding the command of the troops, I have handed over the command of the troops to the Chief of General Staff.
I know you are the only son in the family and you can choose to leave, but please leave the guard to me. "
Lieutenant Colonel Oguri immediately shook his head and said: "I am willing to follow the general to the death!!"
After saying this, he gave a very standard military salute.
"Thank you very much!! If we can escape this time and return to our hometown one day, I will definitely go to Oguri-kun's residence and pay a visit!!" Itagaki Seishiro said with a bright smile.
In the night observation equipment of the special reconnaissance battalion, the unusual movements of the Japanese army were quickly transmitted to Xia Yang.
¡°The enemy started to move, but it was strange that the two groups of Japanese troops at the front and back seemed to have different plans of action.
One group is planning to break out and disperse towards the mountains on our left. Another group gathered together and quietly approached Ma Siyuan's blocking position. "Hao Shiwen handed the situation reported from the front to Xia Yang's hands and said.
Xia Yang took a general look and said: "No matter what medicine he sells in the gourd, I will let them die tonight!"
After saying that, he immediately ordered: "Order the two motorized infantry regiments and the two infantry regiments on the flanks to stop the Japanese troops from breaking through.
The enemy is a scattered breakout of small groups. There is no main force. As long as you see the little devil's breakout force, no matter how big or small, I will beat you to death. "
"The joint blocking position of the Second Division and the Eighth Route Army should be prepared to deal with the fierce attack of a large number of enemy troops. Don't rush to attack. Wait until the Japanese army's energy is exhausted, and then use the armored troops as the lead to launch a fierce attack on the remaining Japanese enemies."
"yes!!"
With the issuance of combat orders, Xia Yang's troops had already begun to take action in advance before the Japanese troops began to officially break through.
Itagaki Seishiro didn¡¯t know that their intention to break out had been fully understood at this time.
Their small forces have begun to divide themselves across the entire front, and then move forward bit by bit towards the mountains not far away.
In the dark night, they could roughly make out the undulating outline of the mountains in the distance.
For them, as long as they rush into the mountains, they have escaped from this desperate situation.
Although that was just the beginning of their escape, it was still better than being bombarded by the enemy's heavy artillery in this ghost place.
These Japanese troops did not know the specific location of the enemy's blocking position.
They can only move forward little by little, hoping that their route will happen to be between the gaps in the enemy's blocking position, so that they can escape without any encounter with the enemy.
But this kind of extravagant hope is destined to be obtained only by a few extremely lucky Japanese troops.
?Other majorsCountless small groups of Japanese troops unknowingly arrived within a few dozen meters of the Fourth Army's blocking position.
At this time, the Fourth Army troops responsible for blocking missions here have been issued a large number of night vision goggles and other equipment.
The actions of the Japanese army were silent, but they were still clearly visible to these night vision goggles.
Finally, on an extremely quiet night, the first illumination bomb rose high into the sky.
In the area illuminated by the flares, a group of more than fifty Japanese soldiers were the first to see the dark muzzles of the guns, which shone with a cold light under the dazzling white light of the flares.
"beat!!!"
The company commander on that position shouted loudly, and the light and heavy machine guns and rifles on the position immediately started shooting fiercely at the Japanese troops.
Those Japanese soldiers who had not yet reacted were knocked down in a blink of an eye, and the other Japanese soldiers quickly fell to the ground.
The dense bullets flew against their backs and hair, making all the muscles in their bodies tense like a fully drawn bowstring.
This position was the first to attack, and flares in other places also began to rise to high altitudes.
Many Japanese soldiers who were advancing in the dark saw the muzzles of guns that were almost touching their faces the moment the flares drove away the darkness.
Close to the side of the mountain, the sound of gunfire spread from point to point to all parts of the ten-kilometer-long front in the blink of an eye.
After the gunfire broke out, the armored troops behind the Japanese army, led by Xia Yang, immediately began to outflank the Japanese army from the rear, hoping to annihilate them all in this area. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
