Linxi. Frontline.
"Boom boom boom"
"Da da da"
The battle has lasted for more than four hours, and all the peripheral positions outside the city have been occupied by the national army. At this time, tens of thousands of troops are besieging the city and conducting the final siege.
Since it is the last line of defense, once the city is broken, it will enter street fighting, so the Japanese army is very tenacious.
They know very well that with their troops at an absolute disadvantage, once they enter street fighting, they will not be able to hold on for long.
The national army outside the city also knows very well that the battle must be resolved tonight, and the situation of the battle may change significantly tomorrow.
Firstly, once daybreak, the Japanese fighter planes will inevitably come for reinforcements. Although they have many troops, they do not have many anti-aircraft weapons, especially no anti-aircraft guns. For the little devil's fleet, there is really not much threat, so at dawn To end the battle before, the worst possible outcome would be to invade the city. This was the consensus among the three verticals.
Secondly, news has come that enemy reinforcements have been dispatched from Wangyemiao and Chengde directions and are rushing to the battlefield. It is said that the leading troops of the fastest 29th Division have arrived in Tongliao. If nothing unexpected happens, , we can arrive at Linxi tomorrow.
In order to block this Japanese army and buy time for the main force in the mountainous area, they must also capture Linxi County tonight.
Both sides have no way out, so what remains is a competition of combat effectiveness and fighting will, which depends on whether the spear can break the shield or whether the shield can withstand the attack of the spear.
As soon as Li Dengxing heard the roar of artillery fire outside the city, his mood sank to the bottom.
He had just received a telegram from the Kwantung Army headquarters. Although General Yamada said that reinforcements would arrive soon, he also said that if the war goes south, he, the lieutenant general and division commander, must lead by example and sacrifice himself.
This order made Li Deng Xingyi very angry. Although he cherished his military honor, he was not a stupid fool.
Although many middle- and lower-level Japanese commanders and soldiers pride themselves on being samurai, they even use "Kudan Wanmi" as their mantra during combat to show their bravery.
If the war goes wrong, these people will fight to the end and would rather die than surrender.
But those are just lower-level soldiers and non-commissioned officers, because they have been brainwashed by the spirit of bushido. As a lieutenant general of the Imperial Japanese Army and the mainstay of the army, Yukichi Koto knows very well that the so-called bushido is just a high-level elaborate plan. It's just a scam, and it has no essential difference from the so-called chivalry in the West.
Although many people within the Japanese Empire and the military regard themselves as samurai, and they are all proud of their loyal dogs, Yukiichi Koto, who is familiar with the origin of bushido, knows that real Japanese samurai are not like this at all.
For example, there was a famous war general in Japan's Warring States Period, Todo Takatora. He was not only a famous general, but also a daimyo. He was considered a leader among Japanese samurai. However, he was such a man. He had eight masters in his life and changed seven of them. His surname and moral integrity are not much better than Lu Bu, a slave with three surnames during the Three Kingdoms period in China.
Speaking of the previous samurai, they had no idea of ??loyalty to the emperor, and even 99% of the samurai did not take the emperor seriously.
It¡¯s not that these so-called samurai¡¯s words and deeds are inconsistent, but because these commandments were not formulated by the samurai of that era, but by later generations, and most samurai have never heard of them.
For example, the doctrine of Bushido spirit "Hagakure" appeared in the 18th century, when the Tokugawa era had entered; the book "Bushido" was even completed in 1899, and the Japanese samurai class has become history.
Therefore, the so-called bushido spirit has never been able to restrain the samurai in history. It is a "myth" invented and created by Japan after the Meiji Restoration in order to use the common people as cannon fodder.
The combination of the Bushido spirit and the national Shinto religion constituted Japan¡¯s modern emperor worship. The emperor¡¯s soldiers who believed in the Bushido spirit became brainwashed ¡°religious¡± warriors.
What's more, the ancient Japanese samurai knelt down for power, land and wealth, and most of them were cold realists. For the sake of land, they could follow the Taira and Genji to oust the emperor. After the Genpei War, the samurai deprived the emperor and the nobles of their estates. When the emperor regained their properties, samurai all over Japan drew their swords against the emperor.
In order to maintain their own power, the Kanto warriors sat back and watched Minamoto Yoritomo's descendants being exterminated by the Hojo clan. During the Warring States Period, they even watched heroes playing "lower and higher" to replace their old masters.
As for the warriors worshiping money, think about the Sixth Heavenly DemonWhat is printed on the king's military flag? Only in the Tokugawa period, when it was difficult for samurai to change their families, did loyalty become a samurai virtue and the prototype of the Bushido spirit emerged.
It is really abominable that the Kwantung Army Headquarters wants such a dignified Army Lieutenant General to die in the line of duty under the guise of being loyal to the Emperor.
Although he felt very aggrieved, Li Deng Xingyi knew that if the moment came when the city was defeated, all he could do was fight to the end.
¡°It¡¯s not for the Kwantung Army Headquarters, nor for His Majesty the Emperor, but for my family back home.
Li Dengying is only 52 years old this year. This age is the most brilliant time in his life. At this age, he is still very capable. Being promoted to an army general is not an unattainable dream, so he does not want to die.
If there is a one in ten thousand chance, he would like to live, for example, surrender.
But the reality made him push this thought out of his mind, because his family and friends were all in China, especially his children who had just grown up, and his eldest son had just been hired as a university teacher.
Once he is captured on the Chinese battlefield, the government and the base camp will inevitably punish or even persecute his relatives and friends.
Such things have long been commonplace in China, and have even become an unwritten rule in the military.
So after the city was broken, he had no choice but to fight to the death. If he died in battle, he would not only be able to save his family, but also become a Japanese national hero, but he was so unwilling in his heart.
"Yamaguchi, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Li Dengxing asked the chief of staff, Yamaguchi Colonel.
"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, five hours at most!"
"How long can we hold on?"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, if nothing happens, the city defense will be broken through in an hour at most. As for how long the street fighting can last, I have no idea how long it will take!"
"Pass the order and distribute all the ammunition to the front-line troops. The staff at the headquarters will start processing the relevant documents. The captains of each regiment will be ready to burn the military flags. The military flags will be burned immediately after the city is broken!" Li Dengxing sank. vocal channel.
"Hai!"
"Send another farewell telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, saying that our army is determined to live or die with Linxi until the last soldier is killed!"
"Hai!"
?¡
However, as soon as Li Dengxing finished speaking, he heard the sound of the ground shaking, and then he saw a major staff officer hurried into the headquarters and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, Dongfeng The city wall outside was blown down by the enemy, and a large number of armies were rushing in through the gap in the city wall!"
"Baga, order the troops in the direction of the city wall to counterattack immediately, and be sure to keep that person out of the city!" Li Dengxing roared angrily.
"Hai!"
But less than ten minutes later, Li Dengxing received news that the west gate had also been breached.
At this time, the city defense fortifications in Linxi County were like a broken house with air leakage everywhere, and had lost their protective effect. In desperation, Li Dengxing had no choice but to order the troops to evacuate near the city wall, and then withdraw to the urban area to fight in the streets.
