As Takeda Junpei said this, he moved his eyes away from the direction of Taiyuan City and looked at Xia Yang's armored troops approaching them step by step in the north.
After several days of attrition by the infantry, Xia Yang finally put the armored troops on the frontal battlefield again.
He knew clearly in his heart that at this time, Takeda Junpei's troops, with what little ammunition they had left, could no longer stop the advancement of these armored vehicles and tanks.
And drove away the Japanese troops in front of Ma Siyuan's Second Division and the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Kong Jie. After a brief rest, they directly launched a fierce attack on the southern part of Qinglong Town.
The Japanese army's ammunition and troops were already stretched thin. Now they were attacked from two sides, and they suddenly fell into an even more embarrassing situation.
Takeda Junpei can completely issue an order to retreat and break out at this time, because their situation at this time allows him to make such a decision.
But Okamura Neji¡¯s order was still echoing in his mind.
As a soldier, he knows what his mission is.
So he did not choose to retreat that night, but continued to grit his teeth and persist.
The troops that stormed Qinglong Town from the north and south used wheel warfare to consume the Japanese defensive positions.
At the beginning, the sound of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns was very intensive, but later, the sound of their light and heavy machine guns became quieter and quieter.
So much so that during the attack in the latter half of the night, they could no longer even hear the roar of the Japanese heavy machine guns. Only the rifles and the sound of light machine guns were left.
What made the Japanese army desperate was not just the lack of ammunition. After fighting continuously day and night, all their troops were unable to rotate or rest.
Food can last for a few days, but there is no water source.
There is not a single well in the entire Qinglong Town. The canal that can transport water to the town has also been captured by the Second Division.
Many Japanese soldiers have even begun to drink the blood of their comrades to maintain their basic body functions.
Because compared to hunger, thirst is often the way that a person can lose his vitality faster.
A person may be able to go without food for three days and still be able to maintain basic life activities. But if you don't drink water for three days, this person will most likely die of thirst.
In the continuous fierce fighting, the Japanese army's consumption of body water became more intense. Many of them used their tongues to lick their chapped lips, only to find that they had no saliva at all.
" Takeda Junpei was holding the bowl of blood, wondering whether to drink it or not.
That was the blood extracted from the body of a dead Japanese soldier by his staff.
The Japanese soldier had just died, and the blood in his body was even warm.
" Takeda Junpei was holding the porcelain bowl, as if he could still feel the residual warmth of that life.
"Drink it, otherwise we may not even make it to dawn."
The staff officer said.
While speaking, his lips and mouth were covered with blood. He also drank the blood of those dead Japanese soldiers.
Takeda Junpei gritted his teeth and said, "I'll drink it!"
After saying this, he raised his head and drank the bowl of blood.
But as soon as the blood went down his stomach, he couldn't help but let out a "wow" sound, and lay on the ground and vomited violently.
He vomited out all the blood that had just entered his stomach. In the end, he even vomited out his gastric juices.
"Are you okay, Chief of Staff?" Several Japanese officers ran over and patted him on the back.
Takeda Junpei shook his head and said: "I'm fine, I'm fine."
After saying that, he sat down on the ground.
He would never have imagined that he would be in the desperate situation he is in today.
"Damn it, damn it!! Eight-square tooth road!!!" He pulled out the samurai sword from his waist almost hysterically, and then slashed there like a madman.
After venting the anger in his heart, his already very tired body suddenly found it difficult to even stand.
"Chief of Staff, let's let's retreat. If we don't retreat, we will all die here." A Japanese staff officer advised.
But after hearing this, Takeda Junpei shook his head and said: "No, we cannot retreat. We must buy more time for the troops in the rear."
With that said, he struggled to stand up, pulled out the samurai sword from his waist, and roared at the dark night sky.
The troops of the Fourth Army, who were rotating their attacks, began to launch their ninth attack of the night in the second half of the night.
They advanced several hundred meters, only to find that there were very few gunshots on the Japanese position. The light machine gun, which could still fire twice, seemed to have lost its ability to roar at this time, leaving only the lonely sound of the rifle.
The Japanese army¡¯s ammunition was completely exhausted!
This is a judgment that the commander at the front can make without spending any effort.
"Storm the Japanese positions and try not to engage in close combat with the enemy. They don't have many bullets."
The commander at the front yelled.
After hearing this order, more flares flew high into the sky amidst the whistling sound.
At this time, there is still a little time before dawn arrives.
But those little devils in the position will never have the chance to see the dawn this time.
Because the Fourth Army troops had sufficient ammunition and sufficient physical strength, they were already approaching them while shooting.
¡°Onboard!!!¡±
Just as they were approaching the position, a strange cry of "onboard" suddenly came from the originally quiet Japanese position.
Hearing the sound, the soldiers of the Fourth Army who were charging immediately stopped.
¡°Ready to shoot!!¡±
The forward commander shouted.
Sure enough, after the "board load" sound, under the light of the flares, groups of Japanese soldiers covered in blood gathered up the last bit of strength in their bodies and rushed out of the trenches.
Their bodies were twisted and twisted, and many of them were even a little unsteady when standing. These Japanese troops staggered and launched the final "Long Live Charge" against the troops of the Fourth Army (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
