    At this time, the Central Route Army led by Lieutenant General Okazaki himself was more than 20 kilometers away from Major General Hiromichi Toyama. It was not far, but it was still a little far away.

    Although it is basically impossible to hear the sound of gunfire from such a long distance, the roar of artillery and the explosion of rockets can still be vaguely heard, not to mention the louder sound of the shells detonating in the Japanese tanks.  You can hear it from afar.

    But at the beginning, Lieutenant General Okazaki and others did not pay attention even when they heard the noise in front. They thought it was the troops in front that had caught up with the army. Many of them were smiling and chatting with the troops next to them.  People joked that they might just go there to clean up the battlefield.

    However, they soon stopped laughing. After receiving the telegram from Major General Hiromichi Toyama, Lieutenant General Okazaki was completely confused.

    When the department of the mountain was ambushed by the branch/army, and it was in danger, need urgent reinforcements?

    Is this a joke?

    ¡°But Okazaki knows Toyama Hiromichi and knows that he is not the kind of person who talks nonsense, and he wants reinforcements as soon as he comes up. The department must be in big trouble.

    At that moment, Lieutenant General Okazaki did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered the troops to run forward and rush to the battlefield ahead.

    However, what Lieutenant General Okazaki didn't know was that just a few kilometers ahead at Shili Beiling, Lu Zhanwu was waiting for them with a large number of national army troops.

    Shili Beiling is famous for its ten-mile long river valley.

    There is water in the river valley all year round, but it is just a gurgling stream, not even a river, so people make a mountain road along the edge of the river valley.

    The canyon here is deep and deep, with a width of more than 200 meters, but a narrow place where only two carriages can walk side by side.

    As the most important ambush position of the national army, this is the best cemetery chosen by Lu Zhanwu for the 108th Division.

    Lu Zhanwu had thought at the beginning that the Japs must be divided into several military groups when pursuing them. Otherwise, tens of thousands of people operating together would not be in compliance with the principles of combat, and they would also be vulnerable to attacks by the opponent's artillery or aviation.

    Therefore, the normal marching state is to divide into three groups: front, middle and rear. The one in the front is responsible for the assault, the command post is in the middle, and the rest is in the rear.

    In this way, once the Japanese troops in front were attacked, the Japanese soldiers behind would definitely speed up to go for reinforcements. Therefore, after setting up an ambush position at Mushubei Ridge, he also ordered people to build a position at Shili North Ridge.  .

    "Just to be on the safe side, when the Japanese tank troops passed through Shili Beiling, Lu Zhanwu and others did not enter the position, but stood by in the mountains and forests a few kilometers away.

    When the Japanese assault force passed by, Lu Zhanwu led his men into the position and prepared for battle.

    Under the orders of Lieutenant General Okazaki, the main force of the 108th Division ran at high speed towards Mushubei Ridge.  At two o'clock in the afternoon, the troops arrived near Shili Beiling.

    And this time is the hottest time of the day, and all the Japanese soldiers, whether they are on horseback or on foot, are very tired.

    Lieutenant General Okazaki knew that the soldiers were thirsty and tired at this time, and this place was only seven or eight kilometers away from the battlefield where the two sides were fighting. The sound of gunfire from both sides could already be vaguely heard.

    At the moment, when the troops arrived at Shili Beiling, Lieutenant General Okazaki issued an order that he would regret for the rest of his life - rest on the spot for ten minutes!

    There are two main reasons why Lieutenant General Okazaki ordered the troops to rest. One is that there is water in the valley. The cool mountain spring water is the most thirst-quenching, which can relieve the fatigue of the soldiers and prevent heatstroke.

    Secondly, there were many soldiers who were left behind while running wildly along the way, just waiting for those people.

    However, when Okazaki¡¯s order was issued, tens of thousands of Japanese troops rushed into the valley and competed for water.

    Since it is just a small stream, the water flow is not large, so it becomes turbid as soon as there are more people, and no one wants to stay downstream to drink dirty water, so most of the Japanese soldiers ran upstream.

    Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers quickly entered the ambush circle led by Lu Zhanwu. Although there were still more than 2,000 people outside who had not come in, Lu Zhanwu felt that he could open fire. After all, the opportunity was rare now.

    Mainly because the Japanese soldiers who rushed into the valley to drink water did not carry weapons and equipment. Who needs to carry a gun when drinking water?

    At this time, the Japanese army is at its weakest in terms of vigilance and combat effectiveness.

    At that moment, Lu Zhanwu no longer hesitated, directly took out the signal gun, and then decisively pulled the trigger!

    "Bang bang bang"

    Several crisp beeps in a row, followed by several messagesThe missile flew into the sky.

    "Flag flare?"

    Lieutenant General Okazaki, who was drinking water outside the car, saw the flare that suddenly flew into the sky. He was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically!

    He knows the function of flares. If someone suddenly launches a flare at this time, it will definitely be bad.

    Looking at the terrain here, Lieutenant General Okazaki still didn¡¯t understand what was going on, so he immediately shouted loudly: "No, there is an ambush! Prepare to fight!"

    Lieutenant General Okazaki had already realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. He saw a large number of green objects falling on the hillside on the right side of the valley, a large black mass, densely packed, and an alarming amount.

    The sharp-eyed Japanese soldier recognized what it was at a glance and shouted in horror: "Grenade, it's that person's grenade!"

    That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the grenade. In this kind of terrain, nothing is more powerful than a grenade, not even artillery.

    In order to complete his victory in one battle, Lu Zhanwu prepared ten grenades for each soldier. There were four regiments of troops set up in ambush on Shili Beiling, with a total of more than 12,000 people, 6,000 on each side. Ten grenades per person, that is, 120,000  pellets.

    According to Lu Zhanwu¡¯s order, after the battle begins, all soldiers must throw out all grenades within two minutes.

    120,000 grenades exploded at the same time in 2 minutes. The scene was terrifying when you think about it, especially in such narrow terrain conditions.

    "Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

    Explosions came one after another and lasted for a full two or three minutes. Then, before the Japanese troops could take a breath, the machine gun positions set up on both sides of the cliff opened fire. Heavy machine guns were aimed at the Japanese troops in the valley, pouring steel bullets filled with hatred.  .

    Lieutenant General Okazaki and others were lucky. Since they were all officers and did not need to fetch water in person, they did not enter the encirclement of the national army.

    In addition, the guards he led were responsible for protecting the safety of the headquarters and could not leave their posts without orders. Together with some other people, at least more than 2,000 troops did not enter the encirclement of the national army.

    Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General Okazaki did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the troops that had not been hit to counterattack immediately to cover the Japanese troops in the encirclement to break out.

    "Boom boom boom"

    "Da da da"

    A fierce battle started in the little-known place of Shili Beiling, where more than 30,000 Chinese and Japanese troops fought.

    However, this battle can only be said to be fierce for the national army, but it is definitely not tragic, because from the beginning of the battle, the Japanese army was passively beaten.

    With the first wave of firepower output, more than half of the tens of thousands of Japs who entered the encirclement were wiped out. In the face of the overwhelming grenades, no matter how many Japs soldiers there are, it is in vain.

    What¡¯s more important is that these little devils don¡¯t have guns in their hands. Faced with the crazy output of the national army, they can¡¯t even fight back.

    Fortunately, Lieutenant General Okazaki and others reacted quickly enough and counterattacked in time, so that these Japanese soldiers were not wiped out in the first round of the national army's output.

    However, the Japanese army's luck ended here. Following Lu Zhanwu's order, the artillery ambushing on the periphery of the battlefield also began to show off its power. Mortar shells fell from the sky one after another, blowing up Lieutenant General Okazaki and others and turning them upside down.

    At the same time, the two national army infantry regiments on the periphery of the battlefield also surrounded them from the sides and rear, completing the encirclement of the main force of the 108th Division.

    Although the battle is not over yet, the outcome seems to be determined!

    Lieutenant General Okazaki was angry and angry, and realized that he had fallen into a serial trap and had to save himself, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

    The troops were completely wiped out, and it might become a high probability event that the lieutenant general division commander himself would be killed. By then, it would really be infamy for thousands of years.

    In view of this, Lieutenant General Okazaki organized troops to counterattack on the spot, while ordering the two puppet army brigades behind to speed up and immediately reinforce the Central Route Army.

    At the same time, due to the importance of the matter, Lieutenant General Okazaki also reported the situation to the Kwantung Army Headquarters and requested aviation assistance!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
