"Old Xie, this guy Cheng Gang took the brigade's direct artillery battalion and sneaked away..."

"Stay away, where did you go?" Xie Chengrui was shocked. Don't make any trouble with this kid. His heart that had been burned by fire was really unbearable.

"It's nothing big. I just follow the Second Regiment and plan to bomb the Japanese pontoon bridge." Han Xianyuan said, "Jiang Hai reported to me about this. I don't think there is any problem, so I agree."

"Did you agree?"

"Well, I agree. Cheng Gang and his regiment know the situation of the Japanese pontoon bridge. Now that he has been demoted to battalion commander, logic is, you are not his direct boss now." Han Xianyuan smiled.

"Then you should communicate with me first?"

"Aren't I here to report to you? This fighter is fleeting. When I find you, I will give you an order, and it will be too late."

"Not to mention, Cheng Gang is a smart guy. Why didn't I expect this trick? If I exploded the floating bridge again, it would take a lot of time for the Japanese to repair it. This guy was wrong." Xie Chengrui thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If you make a contribution this time, will you..."

"If you don't even think about it, let him be the battalion commander for me who has been at least three months." Xie Chengrui glared at his eyes.

"Yes, yes..." Han Xianyuan smiled embarrassedly, and he stopped mentioning this matter.

The Japanese army's revenge artillery fire almost covered the small small city of Juancheng. After the shelling, there was a fire in the whole city. Although Xie Chengrui had already made arrangements to arrange people to put out the fire after the Japanese army stopped shelling.

But this human disaster was too great. The Japanese army cruelly used the burning bullets, and the civil-structured houses could not withstand the burning of the fire.

A fire burned until dawn, and half of the sky turned red.

Overnight, tens of thousands of people were homeless. Fortunately, their lives were saved, but their property losses were greatly lost, especially a home that sheltered from the wind and rain.

Many people who fled their homes were crying silently, and anger and hatred were also growing in their hearts. They were all hateful invaders. If it weren't for them, how could a good home be destroyed?

In addition to organizing the people to save themselves, Xie Chengrui also recruited civilians in accordance with wartime regulations, strengthened the city defense of Juancheng, excavated fortifications, and tried every means to enhance his resistance.

Although Takashi Sakai defended the position on the south bank of the Yellow River, he was very embarrassed. This was the most tragic time he had entered China.

Overnight, when he had an absolute advantage, he was beaten to the point where he was powerless to fight back, and he suffered heavy casualties.

After counting the losses, Takashi Sakai was so angry that he vomited old blood, and he died until many people died, but the key was that the camp was full of wounded soldiers, especially the most fractured.

These people have basically lost their combat effectiveness.

In just one day, more than half of the casualties of an elite infantry corps were killed or killed, and the number of casualties of the opponent should be far less than that of him. Is this still the Zhong GJ team he knows?

The most serious thing is that during the night shift, the Chinese actually pushed their limited artillery to a place not far from the Yellow River embankment.

Then, with a shelling, the two newly built floating bridges were blown up to pieces.

When the Japanese army realized that they wanted to seize the artillery position, Cheng Gang had already brought people to help dismantle the artillery, and then loaded the car and ran away.

This made Takasui half-exhausted and stood firm on the south bank position. Isn’t it just to ensure the safety of the floating bridge crossing the river? As a result, it still failed to keep the floating bridge, and it was still blown up by the hateful Chinese.

Kenji Doihara's lungs exploded, and he wanted to rush to the other side and twist Sakai Takashi's head off as a chamber pot, but this could not change the fact that the floating bridge was destroyed again.

We were ready together, but when we passed the test the next morning, we could cross the river with large heavy equipment. Now it's fine, we have to repair it again.

Doihira wanted to cross the river overnight, but the pontoon bridge was unstable. In addition, if the situation happened at night, it would be even more troublesome if it was impossible to deal with it.

In just one night, something that was almost certain to be successful was still an accident.

Cheng Gang had an idea and delayed the Japanese army's heavy equipment for at least half a day to cross the river. This was undoubtedly quite beneficial to the New 37th Brigade, and time is life.

On May 12, the Japanese Segaya Detachment had been trapped for eight days. Although they joined the Sakamoto Detachment and were not as ammunition and food were exhausted, if they were trapped, for another three or five days, the two elite Japanese troops, Segaya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment, would completely cut off food and ammunition.

Airdrops can no longer solve the problem. More than 15,000 people and wounded soldiers, how much food they have to eat on this day is not enough to rely on airdrops alone.

Besides, before the deployment of the battle, GJ had already strengthened the walls and cleared the fields of the villages in the war zone. It was almost impossible for the Japanese army to support the war by fighting.

In addition, the Japanese army's logistics system was very poor, especially grain supply, which relied heavily on robbery, so the Japanese army was short of food so quickly.

Once a person has no food and goes hungry to fight, no matter how strong the willpower is, it will not last long. Those who exceed the physiological limits cannot be considered human.

The Japanese army was also human, although they had received brainwashing from the Bushido spirit since childhood, people could not survive without eating. If they did not eat, they would not have the strength to fight.

If the people have no food, they will take risks. If the army has no food, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

Since being besieged, Setani Kiyo himself has reduced his food and has never eaten enough. Moreover, the soldiers under his command have now disappeared cats and dogs in the encirclement area.

There was no way. He had ordered the massacre of war horses to satisfy his hunger. No one could survive. Staying war horses was the enemy's spoils, and he could no longer care about so much.

The car has no fuel and the tank can no longer drive.

Heavy equipment is not as strong as a pack horse or a car, and it can't be carried by manpower, let alone the Japanese army today do not even have the strength to carry shells, and their morale is low.

In less than two days, the joy of the two Japanese troops meeting successfully was gone.

In comparison, the situation of Sakamoto's detachment is much better than that of Sakamoto's detachment, so the battle of No. 11 is basically the battle of Sakamoto's detachment.

However, when Sakamoto's detachment was in it, he realized the huge pressure that Setani was under. It was surrounded by nearly ten times the force. Even if Shun Sakamoto had three thousand iron nails on his body, how many could he block?

Half a bottle of sake, the pair of brothers and brothers sat together. From the eyes of Kei Setani whose eyes were deep, Sakamoto Jun saw something called despair.

The plan to go up to the peak is good, but the distance cannot quench the near thirst. It is obvious that this is sacrificing the lives of oneself and tens of thousands of soldiers to gamble. I still don’t know if there is a possibility of winning.

Even the Sakamoto Detachment was deliberately put in. Although it delayed the time when Setani Kei was surrounded and annihilated, it seems that there is still no hope.

Especially after the plan to go up to peak, the Chinese attack became even more violent. They obviously also had insight into the intentions of the base camp and seize the time!

Should the First Army cut off the Longhai Road first, or should the Chinese eat the Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment first?

The feeling of Kei Setani and Shun Sakamoto in the encirclement is particularly strong.

There are no reinforcements anymore.

Even if it is the main force of the Fifth Division, it is not easy to come over, let alone if it comes over, will it have the ability to support them in breaking through?

However, there is little hope. The Chinese arranged heavy troops in Linyi. The troops that caused him to suffer heavy casualties in Taierzhuang did not participate in the siege of him.

The combat effectiveness of this unit is far greater than that of the troops besieging him. Its existence exists to deal with emergencies.

Seya Kiyoshi was depressed, pessimistic, and even desperate.

"Seya-kun, it's dawn..."

"Yes, it's dawn, and the Chinese attack is about to begin again." Setani Ki looked up at Dongfang's white fish belly, and a trace of confusion and unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

In fact, the surrounding troops have never stopped attacking. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will attack and fight fatigued battles with the Japanese army. The Japanese army has fewer troops and they are divided into guards. The gj aspect is different. Some of the troops can maintain the attack and prevent the Japanese army from having a chance to rest. The other part of them will rest and replenish their physical strength and then take turns.

This is equivalent to a rotating battle between more than 100,000 gj against more than 10,000 Japanese troops. In the past eight days, the Japanese army could also take some rotational rest in the first few days. Later, the troops were too short to fight continuously. In this way, the Japanese army was in trouble. They didn’t have enough food and had no chance to sleep. The soldiers fought with high intensity, fighting with willpower, and their physical and mental power consumption was amazing.

Some soldiers lost more than ten pounds in these eight days.

This day by day is getting harder and harder. Setani Kei didn't know when he could survive. In fact, he had been considering a way out, but the superiors repeatedly ordered him to stick to it.

If he had disobeyed his orders, even if he went back alive, he would probably have no good results.

He is a senior general, and his ideas are different from the grassroots officers and soldiers. They may dedicate their lives to the fanatical Bushido belief, but he may not.

The more you touch the core of power, the more you understand what is going on.

"Sakamoto, do you think we will die here?"

"Setani Jun is too worried. As long as we persist for another three or five days, the situation of the battle will change drastically. At that time, the Chinese may not care about us." Shun Sakamoto said that he was much more loyal than Kei Setani.

Setani Kei is a famous slicker, which is famous in the 10th Division, so many generals don’t like slick generals like him.

"Maybe the Chinese won't give us time, they will launch a general attack soon." Setani Kishi shook his head, and Shun Sakamoto was too blindly optimistic.

If he wants to choose a way out, he must get the support of Shun Sakamoto, otherwise, he will be unable to escape the current danger with his own strength.

"Setani, believe that the empire is invincible!"

"The empire is invincible, this is certain, but can you and I win this battle?" Setani Kai smiled coldly and asked back.

"Setani, what do you think?" The slow Shun of Sakamoto finally heard the voice of Setani Kei's words.

"I don't want the 10th Division to repeat the mistakes of the 16th and 13th Divisions. If your troops are surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese, the 5th Division will also be seriously injured. These are nothing to the people above, and this will not have much impact on them. Besides, there is sacrifice in war, and sacrifice is also the spirit of Bushido. But for you and me, what does failure mean? It's fine if you and I die in battle, at least you can still be regarded as heroes after death, but what if you don't die?" Setani Kiyoshi said.

Shun Sakamoto was stunned. He had never thought about this question before.
