    Chapter 1006: Breakthrough

    Colonel Long Bairu, commander of the First Regiment of the 51st Division of the 11th Group Army of the Central Army, was very angry. The task assigned to him by the division commander was to defend the main position of Xiyun Peak. The reason was very grand. In our division, your team  The regiment is the most combat-effective. Xiyunfeng guards the route of the remaining Japanese soldiers escaping westward. The position is very important. If I don't send you, I won't worry about anyone else.  {}

    The teacher smiled and patted him on the shoulder. However, Long Bairu could tell from this fake smile that he was not welcome. The other two regiment leaders were both close confidants of the teacher.  Only he relied on his relationship with the army commander to sit on the throne of the regiment leader.

    Although the teacher doesn't dare to do anything to him, the county magistrate might as well take charge now. From time to time, he will cause a little trouble for himself, put on some shoes, etc. If he doesn't do anything too outrageous, Long Rubai's bones will not hurt but his body will hurt.  , he wouldn't go to the army commander to complain about such a trivial matter, so he stayed in the 51st Division rather depressed.

    For example, right now, the second and third regiments in the division followed the division commander to the battlefield at the foot of the mountain, and used the remaining Japanese soldiers to make meritorious service and make a fortune. Only their own regiment was left in the craters, and they couldn't see it.  Arriving at a mountain with only a tree and a blade of grass, it was as desolate as a desert, blowing the sultry mountain wind, and looked helplessly at the bottom of the mountain, where the troops from all walks of life were working in full swing.

    The few officers below were also muttering in a low voice. From what they heard, they were complaining that they had offended the division commander and caused them to watch others get rich. Long Rubai became increasingly upset. The chief of staff came over to ask for instructions, "Regiment Commander,  How are the battalions deploying their defenses? How many battalion commanders are still waiting for your words? "

    Long Rubai said impatiently: "It's useless to be defensive. The Japanese are not blind. They can run to such a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Tell them to find a place to sleep and wait until daybreak to go back to work. Mom  Yes, everything is not going well, this damn place doesn¡¯t even have a place to sleep peacefully,¡± Long Rubai, cursing, found a random place, wrapped himself in a military blanket, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, thinking about what was troubling him.

    The regiment leader had spoken. Of course, the people below would not make themselves uncomfortable. They sent out several sentries in confusion. Listening to the rapid and slow bursts of sporadic gunfire at the foot of the mountain, there were more than a thousand Central Army soldiers in one regiment, all sleeping like pigs.  It seems that the defeated remnants of the Japanese Fifteenth Army hid in caves and rock crevices, escaping the joint attack of the Japanese Division's artillery and aviation.

    The Xiyunfeng battlefield is not large, but the terrain is relatively complex. There are about 10,000 Japanese soldiers and officers who were lucky enough to survive, including more than 5,000 wounded. The search team directly under the 1st Brigade of the Corps gradually  They compressed towards Xiyun Peak. These Japanese troops had no fighting spirit and were not fully organized.

    If they want to survive, they can only break out of the encirclement to the west and move closer to the reinforcements coming from the direction of Guiyang. At this time, the senior officers of the Japanese army have long been lost and have no idea. However, the middle and lower-level officers of the Japanese army have good military quality.  They are much stronger than the superior generals, and they are with the soldiers in their headquarters every day, so they are still very cohesive.

    At the critical moment, he became the backbone, retreating all the way to the west, gathering stragglers along the way. When he arrived at the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain, tens of thousands of people gathered. Xiyunfeng was a lingering nightmare in the hearts of all the soldiers of the 15th Army.  The Japanese officers and soldiers gathered together did not have the courage to turn around and fight the pressing First Brigade of the Japanese Army, nor did they have the confidence to attack Xiyunfeng.

    It is the idea of ??a few die-hard elements that the trapped beast still fights. Most of the officers and soldiers were ready to commit suicide by caesarean section collectively, which could be regarded as being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Just when they had no choice but to do so, the 11th Group Army of the Central Army rushed into the west like a flock of frightened sheep.  The Yunfeng battlefield disrupted the step-by-step clearing of the First Brigade and saved the lives of these Japanese soldiers who were about to finish their mission.

    Taking advantage of this chaos, a group of Japanese soldiers, led by a major, tentatively climbed up Xiyun Peak and reached the top of the mountain. To the great joy of this group of Japanese soldiers, the Chinese soldiers on the mountain, for some reason,  The defense was extremely lax. It could be said that there was no defense at all. Even the few sentry posts were so sleepy that they were bleeding three feet long.

    After a desperate situation, by climbing over Xiyun Peak, you can escape from the encirclement of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops. After a short discussion, the Japanese officers divided into three groups and headed towards Xiyun Peak. There were more than 10,000 people there, and it was impossible not to be alarmed.  The soldiers of the 51st Regiment of the 9th Division of the Central Army opened their eyes hazily, saw countless shadowy black figures, and screamed in shock.

    The Japanese soldiers who were escaping suddenly unleashed their survival instincts. The light machine guns with crooked handles roared wildly, and the Japanese soldiers with white bayonets stabbed at the Central Army soldiers fiercely, like a violent wave.  , smashed the Xiyunfeng defense line to pieces, and a regiment of the Central Army lost more than half of it in a very short period of time. Many soldiers were stabbed to the core with bayonets in their sleep.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Long Rubai was awakened by the fierce gunfire. As soon as he came out of the hiding place where he was sleeping, he was shot in the arm. The more than 10,000 remaining Japanese soldiers of the 15th Army were defeated. Like a strong wind, they rolled up.  After passing Xiyun Peak, they disappeared in the dense jungle at the western foot of Xiyun Peak in the blink of an eye, leaving behind the bloody corpses of Central Army soldiers everywhere, the wounded howling in pain, and the soldiers who didn't touch a single hair but seemed to be stunned.

    Long Rubai knew that something had happened. The Japanese had escaped from his defense zone. How could the division commander who specifically pointed out his own faults deal with him?  Ignoring his still bleeding arm, he shouted angrily: "Listen to me, the Japanese broke through our defense area just now. They were just a small group. They entered the position immediately. If they see anyone, they will kill you."  Fight, whoever disobeys me will be killed right now.¡±

    The sudden outbreak of fighting in the direction of Xiyunfeng aroused the vigilance of Liu Hongzhang, commander of the first brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps. Could it be that the remaining Japanese troops were panicking and forcing a breakout from that direction?  The gunshots were out of place, mostly Japanese-style light machine guns with crooked handles and 38-guns. It was bad, especially the Central Army troops defending Xiyun Peak, who were caught by the little devils.

    He led more than one battalion of troops and rushed towards Xiyun Peak. Along the way, he easily killed many Japanese wounded soldiers, which strengthened his judgment. He was rushing towards Xiyun Peak despite the sound of gunshots. Suddenly, there was a burst of sound.  Intense gunshots rang out, and bullets rained down. More than fifty people in the sharp knife platoon rushing in front fell to the ground.

    Liu Hongzhang's heart suddenly sank. Damn it, Xiyun Peak was occupied by the Japanese army. A mortar platoon that came for reinforcements later joined the battle and suppressed the firepower on the peak. But Liu Hongzhang  Hongzhang felt something was wrong. The gunshots were all Chinese and formal, and he could still vaguely hear curses in Chinese.

    After shouting for a while, it became clear that they were fighting with troops from the Central Army for more than an hour. Liu Hongzhang went to the main position of Xiyun Peak with a livid face. When he saw the situation, he was so angry that his lungs exploded.  He grabbed Long Rubai by the collar, lowered his voice, and asked viciously: "What's going on? Did the remaining Japanese troops break out from here? How many escaped? Tell me the truth, otherwise, I will kill you immediately  about you!"

    Long Rubai was panicking because he had neglected his duty and ran away from countless Japanese soldiers. This was the crime of losing his head. Seeing that this major general, who was obviously not the Central Army, was getting angry, he did not dare to tell the truth, so he quibbled and said:  "Sir, my unit was ordered to defend here, and we did engage in a firefight with the Japanese troops who were trying to break out. You see, most of my brothers were killed or wounded. We were unable to see how many of them were in the dark, but we were repulsed."

    Of course Liu Hongzhang would not believe his lies. Most of the Central Army soldiers lying on the ground had bayonet wounds. This was a problem. A battalion commander came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Liu Hongzhang's eyes were filled with tears at that time.  Turning red, he took out a gun and put it on Long Rubai's forehead, squeezing out a few words through his teeth.

    "My men have found out that at least nearly 10,000 Japanese troops have broken out from your line of defense. You little devils, let them go and beat us, but you have to work hard. One of my sharp knife platoons has more than fifty people.  They all died under your guns, how should this account be settled? "

    Long Rubai almost fainted from fright. He ran away from the Japanese soldiers, but he was able to deny it, but he killed the soldiers of the Japanese division. This was a big trouble. In fact, Liu Hongzhang didn't know how to deal with this matter, so he shot him  The commander of the Central Army, he has not been so impulsive, but let it go. He cannot swallow this breath. The most important thing is that the remaining Japanese soldiers in the encirclement have broken through from this direction. The strength of a regiment cannot be defended.  In such a dangerous position, it would not be too much to shoot the regiment leader.

    Just when he was thinking about what to do, the radio operator came over and said, "Report to the brigade commander, the division commander wants to talk to you," Liu Hongzhang ordered, "Watch him," and several soldiers came over to keep an eye on Long Rubai.

    After taking the earphones, the voice of division commander Tang Qiuli reached his ears, "Is it Brigadier Liu? What happened in the direction of Xiyun Peak? Where are you now?" Liu Hongzhang replied arrogantly: "It's me.  , Division Commander, I am at Xiyunfeng, the 1st Regiment of the 51st Division of the 9th Army of the 11th Central Army, guarding the Xiyunfeng position. Due to neglect of precautions, the remaining Japanese soldiers broke through from this direction! "

    Tang Qiuli asked in disbelief: "What? The Japanese army broke through from Xiyun Peak? How many escaped?" Liu Hongzhang replied: "Based on the traces, there are about 8,000 to 10,000 people. I led the troops to pursue  When we were here, those bastards from the Central Army opened fire without knowing why, and I sacrificed an entire platoon of more than fifty soldiers."

    Tang Qiuli gritted his teeth and said in a cold tone: "Liu Hongzhang, bring this bastard regiment commander to me immediately. Also, control the Central Army soldiers of this regiment. You immediately arrange troops to take over the Xiyunfeng position.  "Don't allow another Japanese soldier to escape." Listening to the division commander's chilling tone, Liu Hongzhang knew that the division commander was really angry.Including Liu Zhi, the entire Eleventh Army had no good fruits to eat.
