They will locate the location of the Japanese troops and mark their whereabouts and hiding places on the map.
Whenever they discover Japanese troops trying to break through or counterattack, Xia Yang's troops will immediately counterattack.
This caused several counterattacks organized by the Japanese army at night to end in failure.
The troops who wanted to fight for the city gate were also forced back into the barricades by intensive machine gun fire.
Honda Ligen was in a dark basement, looking at the floor plan of Changzhi City, planning how to break the current predicament.
¡°The probing attacks we organized in the first half of the night basically failed.
Currently, the enemy has very tight defenses in all directions of the city wall. We are almost completely blocked in the city. If we want to break out, the enemy's advanced night combat equipment will also know our whereabouts. "The Japanese military staff officer said.
Honda Ligen was listening to him and waited until he finished. The desperate young general of the Japanese army was silent for a long time before saying: "If our army concentrates all its forces at one point and then breaks out with all its strength in one direction, will it be possible to achieve a certain breakthrough?"
He has received a telegram from Okamura Neiji, asking them to lead the troops to break out. Because Xia Yang's pursuit force had already detoured from outside Changzhi City.
Therefore, the persistence of Honda Rimoto and the others in Changzhi City has lost its meaning. Apart from being able to delay Xia Yang's two combat divisions, it has no other effect.
Therefore, Okamura Neji issued the order to break out.
Because if Honda Ligen can successfully lead his troops to break through, he might also be able to cause some trouble to Xia Yang's pursuing troops. Thus covering the retreat of their main force.
"It's possible, but it's a desperate move. It's very likely that they will all die here."
"I know, but if you break through separately, you will be defeated one by one, and you won't even have a chance to break out." Honda Ligen said.
After he finished speaking, his blood-red eyes shone with light again.
The light emanating from his eyes now is very much like those desperate gamblers, waiting for the sieve cup to open to reveal the number of the dice.
"It's time to put all the bets on and give it a try." Honda Ligen looked at the crowd and said. "Are you willing to follow me in this huge gamble?"
"willing!!"
These Japanese generals have been following Honda Rimoto. Even though they have fallen into a real desperate situation, they still have nothing to regret.
"Okay, how many soldiers are there in our army that can fight now?"
"There are 1,300 wounded, and there are probably more than 3,500 soldiers capable of fighting," the staff officer said.
"Okay, abandon the wounded. If you have to go to a military court in the future, then I will do it. This order was given by me, and if there is any responsibility in the future, I will be responsible for it." Honda Ligen said decisively, "The rest can continue Fighting soldiers, break out with me."
The reason why the wounded were abandoned was because carrying those wounded would most likely affect the speed of their breakout march. They may all die here by then.
If it was not a last resort, they would never abandon the wounded.
But now they have reached a truly desperate situation, surrounded by enemy troops.
Even if they can break through the enemy's encirclement, there are enemy combat troops outside this encirclement, and they will encounter them head-on at any time.
"General, we listen to you!" a Japanese commander shouted.
"Yes, we all obey your orders!" Other Japanese commanders also said aloud.
Honda Ligen nodded, then pulled out the sword from his waist, slammed it on the table and said: "Order the troops to prepare for a breakout!!!"
His order was quickly conveyed to the Japanese troops stationed in various neighborhoods through walkie-talkies.
There are also some Japanese troops who have lost contact and can only choose to abandon them. The Japanese troops who contacted them began to prepare for battle.
Waiting until two o'clock in the morning, Honda Ligen will launch three signal flares into the sky, indicating the beginning of the breakout operation. All troops need to come out of their own neighborhoods and break out in one direction.
Time passed bit by bit, and the soldiers of the Fourth Army stationed on the surrounding city walls were already ready.??The Japanese army prepares for battle.
They had received orders from Xia Yang before, and the Japanese army was likely to break out at night. So they must be prepared for night battles. At the city wall, they increased their defensive strength. At almost every city gate, they doubled the defensive strength.
But the specific direction of the Japanese army¡¯s breakout is still unknown. The telephone lines they used for communication were impossible for Xia Yang and others to intercept and decipher. After all, they can intercept those radio waves, but they cannot intercept the current running in the wires.
The time came to two o'clock in the morning. Honda Ligen looked at his watch. The minute hand had already pointed to "12". He knew that the action should begin.
So Honda took a deep breath, then took off his watch and put it in his pocket. Then he pulled out the saber from his waist and shouted: "Start taking action!!"
"yes!!"
Under his order, the Japanese army fired three red signal flares in succession.
The whistling sound tore through the silence of the night, and the flashing red light was like the dripping blood flowing out of the warrior's body.
After seeing these three red signal flares, all the Japanese troops who received the order to break out immediately began to break out in one direction, which was the West City Gate.
"There are movements of the Japanese army!! Notify all troops and prepare for battle!!" On the city wall, the scout responsible for observing the movements of the Japanese army immediately shouted to the people behind him.
"yes!!!"
At this time, the sound of the alarm immediately echoed throughout the city. The soldiers stationed on the city wall and outside immediately woke up from their sleep and entered their respective fighting positions. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
