The gun was wrapped in oil paper, and the man held a reed that had been prepared in his mouth and slowly immersed in the water. Although the cold river water was a little cold, it was already a bearable range for the current weather.

Although the Japanese army cleared the reeds and weeds by the river, it was impossible for them to completely clean them up. Moreover, there were some visual blind spots, which could be used.

"Cover and attract the attention of the Japanese army!"

On the 1st Division's position, the second squad, which was responsible for the cover mission, fired a few shots on the Japanese position on the other side, and suddenly there was a loud blast of gunfire here.

The Japanese army did not fight back like they did during the day. Although they also fired, the gunshots were very sparse.

"Old demon instructor, will the Japanese army be ready to break through, leaving only a small number of troops to delay and block, and transferred most of the troops?"

"There is such a possibility, but this is more beneficial to me!"

"Platform leader, I ask you, how much force is there on the Japanese position across the river?" Yao Heizi ordered someone to call a platoon leader of the 1st Division guarding the position here and asked.

"According to the Japanese army's organization, there are about half a team."

"Compared with our infantry platoon, the firepower is far greater than that of our infantry platoon."

"But listening to the gunshots just now, there seemed to be no so many people?"

"Well, wait until Xiaoguan solves the Japanese army on the position, and carry the rubber boat over immediately!" Yao Heizi ordered, and a total of eight rubber boats were already full of anger.

This is still something that captured the Japanese army, otherwise the national army would not have such good river crossing equipment.

About ten minutes later, a spark burst out from the Japanese position on the other side. This was a signal that Yao Heizi and Guan Shuhong agreed to solve the Japanese army on the position and immediately notify the commando team on the other side.

"Go, go!"

Yao Heizi also brought the platoon leader of the 1st Division with him. If he finds something, he still needs to go back and convey information.

In less than five minutes, all the commandos entered the Japanese positions on the other side.

"Old demon instructor, there are only nine Japanese troops on the position."

"Nine Japanese soldiers?" Yao Heizi realized something and immediately said to the platoon leader: "Hurry up and report the news. The Japanese want to break through. Let your Army Commander Li take measures immediately. You must bite the Japanese and cannot let them achieve their goals."

"yes!"

"Open the radio station, contact the First Corps Command, send a telegram to Chief Xue and report the news to him!" Yao Heizi then ordered the radio operator with a portable radio station.

The headquarters of the First Corps was still very busy, and the staff members were all nervous. The battle of Guide was at its most critical moment. Whether it could achieve the predetermined combat effect depends on tonight.

Xue Boling's usual style is to stabilize himself so that his subordinates can be stable. If he, a general who commands the army, cannot stabilize, how can the people below be stable?

More than one-third of the area in Guide City has been planted with the flag of the National Revolutionary Army, and less than two-thirds of the remaining are still in the hands of the Japanese army.

"Report to Chief Xue, report to the 40th Division of the 8th Army, and judge that the Japanese army is very likely to be there..."

"Well, focus on several places. Where has Luoqi's 95th Division reached?" Xue Boling nodded seriously and asked.

"I have arrived at Caidaokou and set up an ambush!"

"Appoint Commander Luo, I must stabilize it. I must wait until the Japanese troops breaking through the ambush circle before launching an attack." Xue Boling solemnly ordered.

"yes!"

"Captain Xue, General Yao's urgent telegram, the Japanese army has begun to gather troops and prepare to break through."

"It seems that we expect a lot. The Japanese army is already at the end of their strength. If they don't leave, they will be dead. Kenji Doihara is a smart and pragmatic Japanese commander."

"I wonder if Kenji Doihara praises him or ridicule him when he hears your words from Chief Xue!"

"What else does Staff Officer Yao say?"

"there is none left!"

"It seems that they have entered Guide City. I hope they can successfully rescue the elderly and women and children who were arrested by the Japanese, otherwise we will be passive." Xue Boling nodded.

"All annihilation of Tufeiyuan Division, Chief Xue, if it succeeds, you and I will not come to East Henan in vain!" Wu Xiqi was in a state of excitement. Although this battle was not finalized, at least he saw great hope.

This hope is extremely exciting for a soldier who is eager to make achievements. No one of the troops involved this time is extremely excited.

I'm afraid that only Tang Keqin regretted being beaten his chest and stamped his feet.

Although Tang Keqin was not very clear about the specific situation of the Guide battle, he could see from the war report that the Japanese army in Guide City was already at a loss and ending their end.

He regretted it and was almost vomiting blood. If he had left behind, wouldn't such a great achievement be his? Taierzhuang and Guide, after two battles, it would be fine to get at least one Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. Now, it's better, the relationship with Li Delin has been bad, and he has turned his face with Xue Boling. Although these two people can't decide anything, their influence is huge, especially Li Delin. If he prevents him from getting the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, it will be really troublesome.

At this moment, Tang Keqin was sitting in the command center in Bozhou, sighing and regretting.

In Guide East City, in a simple courtyard, Kenji Doihara set up his command center here, and his division and regiment headquarters were almost taken down, and few survived, so there was no need for much large place.

Manta Niujima also brought his command center to meet up, and the command centers of the two troops are now working together.

After dark, Kenji Doihara ordered all the soldiers to have a full meal. The Japanese officers and soldiers who received the order also knew that if they could have a full meal at this time, they would either run away or have the last meal.

Therefore, the Japanese army was not very emotional, and the morale of the army also shook greatly, especially those Japanese officers and soldiers who were arranged to stay and cut off their rear secretly had other ideas.

But Kenji Doihara can no longer control these things. People's hearts are too difficult to figure out. Kenji Doihara claims to be unparalleled in wisdom, and he cannot do this.

He summoned several important generals to study the route of breaking through.

This is very critical.

"How many people are left?" Kenji Doihara needs to understand the situation.

"In addition to leaving the emperor's back, there are only about two thousand people in full swing." said a deputy of the Japanese Zhongzhao Regiment.

"All the baggage is thrown away, only the ammunition and dry food that can be brought for three days. If you can't take away heavy weapons, you will also destroy them and cannot be left to the Chinese." Kenji Doihara said viciously.

The generals and subordinates lowered their heads. When they came to China, they did not expect that they would be forced to this point by the Chinese army. They all felt angry and ashamed.

"Mr. Doihirahara, my artillery was all made by the Empire with great effort. So I gave up like that?" Kitani Shitsutsu asked with red eyes.

"If you bring them, it will drag our speed down. How many shells will your artillery have? Can we use them in the process of breaking through?" Kenji Doihara scolded, "Do you know how the Chinese did in the Battle of Shanghai? They did not leave us the heavy artillery of a battalion of Shenjiang. That was the most advanced 150mm caliber howitzer they had just imported from the German Empire. The range and power were still above the most advanced howitzer in service!"

"All the materials that cannot be taken away will be destroyed. This is an order. If something happens, I will be responsible!" Kenji Doihara took all the responsibility.

"Hayi!"

"You can consider the route of breaking through?"

"Teacher, I think the direction of our breakthrough should be considered in the southeast direction, with the junction of the Chinese army as the breakthrough point. This is the weak link in their defense, and once they fight, they will lack cooperation, which gives us the opportunity to break out of the encirclement." Colonel Iwakura Rumen, the captain of the engineering regiment, suggested.

"Well, what Colonel Iwakura said makes sense. After breaking through the southeast, we can quickly penetrate into Bozhou..."

"Bozhou has been re-occupied by the Chinese army. If we enter Bozhou, it would not be equivalent to death?"

"But if we want to go to Yongcheng, we have to pass through Bozhou, there is no doubt about this!"

"Okay, don't argue!" Tadao Yoshihide Sano raised his hand, "Let me hear what the division commander said."

"Hayi!"

"My plan is to go south and break through the front of the Yanbotai!" Kenji Doihara ordered people to spread the map and said a little in the south direction.

"Yanbotai, this is the area that the Chinese army is focusing on defending. If you break through here, isn't that equivalent to dying?"

"The Chinese army in our south is Huang Jie's 8th Army, and this unit, Niujima, knows the best." Kenji Doihara said with a smile.

"General Doihara is right. This 8th Army was the Chinese Army unit stationed in Guide. His command was attacked by me. The commander Huang Jie was injured and unconscious. This made me not sneak attack and occupy Guide successfully. This unit came with a revenge. I think the division master wanted to use the strategy of attacking the east and west, using a suspicious army to attract the Chinese army in the front, and then suddenly launched an attack, breaking through the front, and caught the Chinese army off guard!"

"Niujima Jun is indeed worthy of being a master of tactics, just to the point!"

"The general has been awarded too much. Compared with the general, Niujima Man has a lot of things to learn." Niujima Man said modestly.

"There are always people who serve as suspicious soldiers. Who among you is willing to stand up?" Kenji Doihara slowly swept the many generals in the house and asked.

It is said that it is a suspicious soldier, but it is actually a death sentence. This is not a good job. Everyone wants to survive. They can survive just by breaking through. Who wants to take the initiative to die?

"General, let me go." At this time, Niujima Man stood up and bowed solemnly to Kenji Doihara.

"Kun Niujima, you..." Kenji Doihara looked at Niujimama in surprise, not understanding why Niujimama chose such a mission that had no return.

Manta Niujima was a general. Whether he was captured or killed in battle, it would be a huge loss for the Japanese Empire and his face was lost.

"Please General Doihirahara make it happen!"

"Okay, what do you need, Niujima-kun, try to satisfy you as much as possible." Kenji Doihara had no time to weigh the pros and cons. Since someone came forward and volunteered, there was no need for him to refuse.

"General Doihara, Niujima Manuwa, I want to change my clothes with you?" Niujima Manuwa said solemnly.

"Kun Niujima, do you want to..." Kenji Doihara was extremely surprised. Manta Niujima actually had such an idea, which made his nose sour and moved.

"I have fought side by side with you these days and found that you are the one who knows the Devil's Force best. If the Empire wants to defeat the Devil's Force and Yasha, you must go out alive!" Niushima's legs were closed together, and he bowed deeply to Kenji Doihara.

"Kun Niujima, you are really..." Niujima Mitsuhiro was trying to be a substitute for himself, which moved Kenji Doihara so much that he didn't know what to say.
