Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 1168 Victory is in sight!

The battle at Laoye Mountain is proceeding as expected by the Dragon Boat Festival.He was even ready to celebrate.

The little devil's reinforcements were wiped out under Sun Shiyu's shelling, and it was only a matter of time before the two flanking positions on the east and west of Height 3 were taken down.

And once these two positions are lost, the Tenth Regiment of the Japanese Army may not even have a chance to escape.

Because if they want to go down the mountain, no matter from the south or the north, they have to enter the shooting range of the east and west positions.

Of course, the little devil is not a fool. After being attacked by artillery, Akashiba Yaezo immediately ordered the east and west to go around two teams from behind the mountain to go for reinforcements, and they must hold the two positions.

At the same time, Akashiba Yaezo sent more than a dozen telegrams to Bengbu, all of which were distress letters.

After reading the sharp telegram, Kitashirakawa knew that the tenth regiment could not last long.He sent power to the headquarters of the dispatched army in Shanghai, ordering Matsui Iwane to immediately dispatch planes to support the battle at Laoyeling.

And he sent a message of condolences to Akashiba Yaezo, telling them that the imperial plane has taken off and will soon arrive at Laoyeling to reinforce your department.

After seeing the telegram, Akashiba Yaezo sighed softly, because it was obvious that this was the prince's last kindness.

Today all the Japanese soldiers on Laoye Mountain will die here, and in the future, Prince Beibai will only send a telegram of condolences to their families.

Akashiba Yaezo thought it was ridiculous to think about it, but his dignified Army University student did not die in tactics against the enemy, but died in the hands of Prince Beibai.

He had a chance to retreat, but Prince Beibai's telegrams killed him.

At this moment, saying nothing will help, Akashiba Yaezo only hopes that the sky will get dark soon, and by that time, he may still have a chance to leave, otherwise he can only stay on No. [-] Heights and be his cannon fodder.

Of course, if he retreated during the night, going back might be a dead end.But think about it, it's better than dying now.

Go back and maybe die, maybe not die.And even if they were all dead, why did they care where they died?

What's more, he had already carried out Kitashirakawa Ai's order, but left the battle after the troops were running out, so no one would be able to say anything.

However, it all depends on the mood of that Prince Bei Bai.If he is in a good mood, he will be dismissed and investigated. If he is in a bad mood, he may have to die to apologize.

Thinking about those officers he had seen who committed seppuku to thank the emperor, Akashiba Yaezo felt a chilling feeling again.

Although it is the honor of a warrior, if anyone wants to die like this, his brain must be rusted.

Seppuku doesn't kill you right away, you'll be in excruciating pain for minutes or even hours.

So at this time, you need someone to help you end this pain.

At that time, life was really worse than death.

So Akashiba Yaezo was a little short of breath, and even wanted to surrender directly.

He learned from some front-line devil officers that the Chinese treated the prisoners preferentially, and even if they were captured, they would not do anything to them.

So if this is the case, is it also an option for him to surrender and then find a chance to escape?

It's just that Akashiba Yaezo thought again, this is not appropriate.Because the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army has long been notorious in China, not only did he personally experience the tragedy in Nanjing, but along the way, his Tenth Regiment also burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes.

Of course, at that time, Akashiba Yaezo was happy, and he never thought that he would be defeated and become a lone army surrounded by the enemy on a small hill.

But it was too late to regret at this time, because he had already made the truth.

Therefore, the road of surrender is impossible for him, and he only hopes that his troops can persist until after dark.

It's just that the Dragon Boat Festival will give him this chance.Sun Shiyu's artillery battalion suppressed the devils in the main position, while reinforcements from the independent regiments on the east and west sides, the Sichuan Army, and the Northeast Army continued to charge and join the battle group.

Seeing this, the little devils who were fighting China on the battlefield were about to cry.Their enemies are fighting more and more, but their reinforcements are getting less and less.

Death is gradually approaching, and some devils even have the urge to kill themselves when they see their companions who have died tragically.

In this battle, the little devil's situation is over, even Akashiba Yaezo has predicted his final end.

But Akashiba Yaezo had to fight again. Instead of adding troops to the east and west flank positions, he kept the remaining devils in the main position, so that he still had a chance to persist until night.

The devils on the left and right wings could no longer withdraw, and Akashiba Yaezo could only abandon them and treat them as abandoned sons.

At the juncture of life and death, this little devil also showed his unkind side.

He imitated the tone of Prince Beibai and asked the imperial army on the battlefield to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.But he hid in the main position and waited for dark before escaping.

It's just that Akashiba Yaezo's idea is very good, so I don't know if Duanwu will agree.

At the beginning of the Dragon Boat Festival war, the tactics had already been formulated. After the east and west positions were captured, the mortars and grenade launchers of various artillery units would clean up the main positions of the Japanese army.

Remember the most classic plot in Bright Sword? More than 6000 grenades were thrown at the devil's position together, and the scene was extremely shocking.

However, there are also many people who hold opposing views and feel that it is not realistic.

But in fact, if it is forced to explain, it can also be explained.

If Li Yunlong used the method of earth escape to advance forward, and the little devil mistakenly thought that the Chinese wanted to use this to shorten the distance of attack, then it would make sense.

Of course, the reason why Li Yunlong did this was because the Eighth Route Army was too poor.

Because the throwing distance of the grenade is short after all.Even a professionally trained grenadier can only throw a grenade at a distance of 50 meters to 80 meters at most, let alone some inexperienced ordinary soldiers.

So perhaps it is precisely because of this that some people would say that in reality, Li Yunlong's tactics are not valid.

However, the tactics of the Dragon Boat Festival were no problem at all. After capturing the east and west positions and suppressing the devils with the help of machine gun and rifle fire, they quickly set up multiple temporary artillery positions, aimed at the main positions of the Japanese army, and carried out indiscriminate bombing.

Then all the members charged, completely crushing their opponents with a large proportion of superior forces.

So this battle can be said to have basically ended by now.

The little devil lost the barrier of the east and west positions, and it was only a matter of time before he was wiped out.

Duan Wu let out a long breath, but felt a feeling of lightness all over.After all, winning this battle will be a turning point for the entire Huainan campaign.

The previous Dragon Boat Festival was restrained everywhere, but at this time, as long as the tenth regiment of the Japanese army is wiped out, then his enemies will be nothing to fear!
