    As the sun sets in the west, thousands of rays of rays shine on the sea surface of Liaodong Bay. From a distance, the waves are sparkling like dancing golden snakes. If there is no war, it is definitely a beautiful scene. Similarly, the people in the Liaoxi battlefield surrounded  The soldiers of the Kwantung Army were not in the mood to appreciate the sunset in a foreign land, because they were a group of lonely ghosts abandoned by the Japanese Empire.

    The aura of despair still permeates the hearts of the Kwantung Army soldiers, not just a few people, but the entire Kwantung Army unit. However, the increasingly dense twilight gives them a sense of safety. Under the night, they can temporarily not see  The surrounding dark muzzles and the independent division soldiers' eyes were full of murderous intent. Moreover, for so many days, the independent division troops had never launched an attack at night. The tortured Kwantung Army soldiers could get a chance to breathe.

    When night completely enveloped the land of western Liaoning and everything was immersed in darkness, the rising sea water of Liaodong Bay washed the delicate beach as always. The Kwantung Army soldiers in groups of three or five gathered everything they could find to satisfy their hunger.  Fill his stomach with something, and then lie listlessly on the bare ground, staring blankly, wondering what kind of fate awaits him tomorrow?

    Suddenly, bursts of thunder-like loud noises suddenly rolled through the night. In the field of vision of the Kwantung Army soldiers, an extremely gorgeous meteor shower appeared, almost covering the sky above their heads. But for so many days, the independent division had experienced  To the Kwantung Army soldiers who were hit by artillery fire, these gorgeous meteor showers were undoubtedly fatally beautiful.  Screams filled the night sky, followed by shells one after another.  With an elegant arc, it plunges towards the ground.

    "Boom! Boom!Boom!" Countless groups of fire flashed, and huge explosions, carrying air waves, rolled and spread in the night sky. The troops of the Independent Division's Liaoxi Theater attacked the Kwantung Army troops in the encirclement.  The final general attack has begun!

    Everything happened so suddenly, the artillery fire was so intensive, even after so many days.  The soldiers of the Kwantung Army, who had experienced the powerful artillery of the Independent Division, were also frightened by it. The temporary field fortifications were under the huge explosive power of rows of artillery shells.  In an instant, it became a pile of ruins.  Mud and fine sand, mixed with the broken limbs of the Kwantung Army soldiers, rose up, and the entire battlefield was like a pot boiling.

    On the high ground where the first brigade headquarters of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps is located, Feng Jiwu and Han Tie did not return to the theater headquarters in Dongguo Town. They looked at the battlefield full of shell explosions in the dim night.  Feng Jiwu smiled and said to Han Tie: "Commander Han, your fighting style is definitely beyond the expectations of the Kwantung Army commanders. You peel off layers of skin, advance steadily, and finally focus on encirclement and annihilation!"

    Han Tie shook his head and said: "Commander Feng, this is the way we fight. Speaking of which, if the division commander had not ordered to capture as many Kwantung Army soldiers as possible, this battle would not have been so troublesome. The intensive shelling lasted for several hours.  , I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be any living little devils left on the battlefield!¡±

    The flames of exploding artillery shells on the battlefield almost formed a sea of ????fire, drowning all life in the darkness. Seeing everything in front of him seemed to evoke Feng Jiwu's memories, "This is the Kwantung Army. Back then, we were still bloody.  When I was in the regiment, when I fought with the Kwantung Army, I always hit and run. I was afraid of being surrounded by the Kwantung Army. The Kwantung Army at that time was very arrogant and eager! "

    "Today, we were surrounded by more than half a million Kwantung Army soldiers on a battlefield in western Liaoning. At that time, how could I have thought of it now? It was like a dream. Commander Han, do you still remember the last battle before we entered the pass!  "

    Feng Jiwu¡¯s tone was full of emotion and vicissitudes of life, as if the years of fighting in the Northeast were vividly flowing before his eyes, with white mountains and black waters, vast primeval forests, and battlefields filled with artillery fire.

    Han Tie smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Why don't you remember that after the troops started to move to western Liaoning, they were fighting and walking, chasing more than 300,000 Kwantung Army troops all day long, and most of us could be eaten in one bite.  What I mean is that the division commander used a clever plan to fight back in Jinzhou and then entered the Pass in style. It is a coincidence that the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army at that time was Nanjiro, and he is still the same old devil now. This is called enemies on a narrow road! "

    On the battlefield under heavy artillery fire, the two top commanders of the Liaoxi Theater Command talked about the past with great interest. They had to say that they were somewhat incompatible with the battlefield in front of them, but no one found it strange, except the staff officer of the Niangziguan Guard Corps.  In addition to Zhang Hansheng, most of the young staff officers who followed the two men joined the team after the Blood Hand Regiment entered the pass and was reorganized into the North China Independent Division.

    I am very interested in the history of the Blood Hand Regiment, the predecessor of the Independent Division, galloping across the white mountains and black waters of the Northeast. In addition to hearing a few words, this is the first time I heard two veteran commanders talk about it in person.  In the past, a captain's staff officer wearing glasses couldn't help but ask: "Two commandersOfficer, what kind of big battles did the Blood Hand Regiment, the predecessor of our independent division, fight in the Northeast?  "

    Feng Jiwu looked at the young staff officer and laughed and scolded: "Hey, I'm quite good at finding ways to do it. I want to hear stories, but there's no way! Let's see how I feel after we deal with the Kwantung Army in the encirclement!"

    The staff members burst into laughter. On the battlefield where thousands of artillery fires were fired, the two generals were chatting and laughing. They did not take the battle in front of them to annihilate more than 500,000 Kwantung Army troops as important. These young staff officers could not help but think about it.

    In order to maximize the morale of the Kwantung Army soldiers and end the campaign as soon as possible, Feng Jiwu and Han Tie used all the artillery of the two corps. According to the different calibers of the artillery, they adopted a tiered configuration, with thousands of guns  Artillery of various calibers, the flames ejected from the muzzle, almost turned half of the sky red. The artillery group bombarded the Kwantung Army soldiers in the encirclement from three directions. The artillery fire was fierce and intensive.

    At this time, Zhang Hansheng, Chief of Staff of the Liaoxi Theater Command, came over and said, "I reported to the two commanders that the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Marine Corps brigades of the Eastern Attack Group were advancing extremely smoothly. They asked for instructions whether to speed up the attack.  Part of the Kwantung Army troops will be separated from the whole and annihilated!"

    "No!" Feng Jiwu said without hesitation, "Don't change the established tactics and fighting methods easily. Chief of Staff, please issue an order from the theater headquarters to all troops. Any troop must strictly follow  We must abide by the battle plan, do not advance rashly, and do not cause unnecessary casualties to the troops because of the commander's eagerness to fight. We must tell them that we are fighting a war of annihilation, but it is not mainly about how many Kwantung Army soldiers we destroy! "

    Han Tie continued: "In the order, add one line. Each brigade of participating troops must always pay attention to coordination with friendly neighboring troops and master the rhythm of the attack. They must not stand out alone!"

    Artillery fire ignited the night sky in the western Liaoning battlefield. After the artillery bombardment, nearly one million soldiers of the Independent Division, under the cover of tanks, leisurely occupied the outer positions of the Kwantung Army. No matter how fast the attack was, they were slow but solid.  Three directions, like three walls, pushed up horizontally, continuously compressing the Kwantung Army troops in the encirclement circle, and the encirclement circle gradually narrowed its scope.

    This method of fighting was also discovered by the Kwantung Army soldiers. After the initial chaos passed, they discovered that in addition to the outer positions being constantly bombarded, the further inside, the safer they were. So, they were awakened by the shells.  The terrified Kwantung Army soldiers instinctively retreated into the encirclement.

    As for organizing resistance, it is almost impossible for the current Kwantung Army troops. The long-term siege, mental and physical exhaustion, no hope of breaking through, witnessing the destruction of the last hope, being in a desperate situation, boundless fear and confusion,  The Bushido spirit of the Empire of Japan has long been obliterated, and the fierceness in the bones of the Kwantung Army soldiers has been eliminated. The soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the generals have no fighting spirit. The reputation and glory of the "Flower of the Imperial Army" have long since disappeared.

    The roaring sound of artillery rang almost all night. By dawn, hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers on the battlefield in western Liaoning had been compressed into a small area surrounded by the vast misty Liaodong Bay on one side and independent divisions on three sides.  within a small area of ??square kilometers.

    The offensive effect of the troops in the Western Liaoning Theater of the Independent Division was by no means brilliant from a war perspective. The resistance of the Kwantung Army soldiers was unexpectedly weak. In the area after the shelling, after the infantry and tanks rushed up, the Kwantung Army was rarely found.  According to common sense, corpses of soldiers should be scattered all over the Kwantung Army's position due to such a violent and intensive shelling, and broken limbs and broken arms can be seen everywhere.

    However, the attacking infantrymen were disappointed. There were almost no scenes of heavy losses for the little Japanese. Almost all the brigades that participated in the attack reported the situation to the theater headquarters. The brigade commanders were all holding back in their hearts.  With a burst of anger, a big war was launched, thousands of guns were fired, tanks roared, and the overwhelming fighting lasted all night, but the current effect was not satisfying!

    But Feng Jiwu and Han Tie didn't see it that way, "Commander Han, is the heat almost done? If you fight again, you'll be beating the commander's prisoners!" Feng Jiwu, who hadn't slept a wink all night, rolled his bloodshot eyes and half-joked.  asked Han Tiedao.

    Han Tie, who also had not slept all night but was full of energy, nodded and said: "It's almost the same. The situation reported by each brigade just shows that the current Kwantung Army soldiers have been beaten to death by us. There is no  With the fighting spirit and fighting will, the attack achieved the expected goal!¡±

    Han Tie turned back to Zhang Hansheng and said: "Chief of Staff, order the troops to stop the attack and adopt an encirclement posture. Rest the battlefield for two hours. Then, send out the captured prisoners. By the way, select a few with high military ranks, preferably  Those with the rank of major general or above should go to the Kwantung Army¡¯s supreme commander to persuade them to surrender!¡±

    Feng Jiwu breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the guardShouted: "Tell the cooking team to get some breakfast for me and Commander Han!"
