Chapter 440 Everything on the Toudao Ridge
Chapter 440 Everything on Toudaoling
As Erdaoling was broken through by the Chinese army in the afternoon, the headquarters of the 6th Division of the Island Army located on Toudaoling was directly exposed to the attack of the Chinese army.
The defense forces of the island nation army had already tried their best. Under the command of the Chief of Staff, they struggled to support the direction of Erdaoling for as much as two hours, and in the end they were almost killed in the entire army.
After receiving the news that Erdaoling was broken, Guangyuan Yicilang was not very panicked. At this moment, he had already made sufficient psychological preparations before...
The fierce gunfire outside did not affect his mood. He felt that he should write something and leave some souvenirs for later generations, but when he picked up the pen, he found that he could not write a single word.
He threw down his pen and sighed in distress.
That's it, and the fate of myself and the Sixth Division ended here.
"Your Excellency the division commander, the Chinese are launching an attack on our position. The battle is going on very fiercely. The Chinese army's offensive is very fierce, and our army has suffered heavy casualties. Please move to a safe place immediately!"
The 36th Brigade leader, Major General Hattori Kotozo, rushed in and reported it to Major General Hattori.
Guangyuan Yicilang smiled faintly, "Are there any safe places?"
There were gunfire everywhere, there were battles everywhere, and it was the same for me wherever I went...
"Hatbet, please go back to your combat post." Hiromoto Yijiro packed up his mood, picked up his command knife from the table and walked out the door: "From now on, I will fight with you!"
At 1:00 p.m. on the 19th, General Guangyuan, the commander of the 6th Division of the Island Army, appeared on the battlefield of Toudaoling in turn.
He saw Hattori's mouth hiding in the battle, saw the corps captain Morita Aki was fighting last month, and even saw Morita Imaiya who was lucky enough to die in Erdaoling and had personally listened to the teachings of the division commander.
Guangyuan Yicilang was very satisfied. At least until now, every soldier from the Sixth Division was fighting.
Even if the last soldier is fighting, the Chinese army will be given the most severe damage. This is Guangyuan Yicilang's only order to his subordinates.
He knew that at this time, his old opponent Zheng Yong, at the foot of the mountain, must have been watching every battle on the mountain.
I can't lose to him. Although I failed in the battle, I can't lose to him mentally...
"His division commander, brigade commander, the 24th Regiment has run out of ammunition and food. Since the battle, there are more than 300 soldiers left in the entire regiment. At this critical moment, the 24th Regiment requests to attack!"
This is the report of the 24th United Team wing captain last month.
The wing has fired the last bullet, and now all they can do is the final attack.
Guangyuan Yicilang nodded silently and said nothing, because he knew that more and more such things would happen soon...
When more than 300 Japanese soldiers were rushing down from the position with guns and howling, the 183rd Division, who was rushing in front, was startled. They did not realize that this was the craziest and most desperate counterattack after the ammunition was exhausted.
The formation was shattered, causing some casualties to the 183rd Division, but soon under the command of Ma Suifeng, the troops gathered again and surrounded the Japanese.
These Japanese were making hopeless efforts, and they tried to kill a few more Chinese people with the bayonets in their hands.
But the answer to them was also a bayonet with a cold light!
The three hundred Japanese devils gradually decreased, and in the end, only Benming and dozens of subordinates were left last month.
Last month, Benming looked at the direction of Toudaoling, his eyes were a little complicated. Not long ago, he saw how a group of excellent Chinese troops died heroically here. He did not expect that it was his turn before many times.
A row of Chinese soldiers rushed over. Although Benming and his subordinates stabbed a few last month, there were less than ten subordinates left by him...
Then he saw the Chinese soldiers erecting machine guns. It seemed that the Chinese soldiers were unwilling to linger with them like this, and were preparing to use machine guns to deal with these stubborn Japanese soldiers.
The machine gun started to fire. Last month, Benming stumbled forward a few steps, and finally let out a sound of grief and fell into a pool of blood...
It is no longer possible to stop the attack of the Chinese army. The island army on Toudaoling has emptied all the bullets, and the rest is to use their flesh and blood to block the Chinese army's machine guns and grenades.
Several rows of grenades were thrown up hard. Just as one grenade was about to explode next to Hiroyuki Yijiro, Hattori hid his hand and pressed the division commander under him.
The grenade exploded. When the smoke slowly passed, Guangyuan Yicilang crawled out from under his subordinates. He found that the brigade commander who saved his life was dead.
So stupid, why should I save myself? Anyway, I will soon be the same as you...
"Teacher Commander, retreat, please retreat!" The person who shouted this was Morita Imayuki.
Seeing that the division commander did not answer him, Second Class Imago Morita had some courage, and with a few soldiers, he ran into the dilapidated temple on the top of a mountain where the headquarters was located.
"Sorry, Master, the division commander, but I will definitely use my life to protect you until the last moment!"
Looking outside nervously, Morita Imayuki said firmly that this was the division commander he admired and loved, and he would not let him be hurt no matter what.
Guangyuan Yicilang smiled slightly. This child was so naive that the entire Sixth Division was gone. Does he think he could protect himself with the power of these people?
There were constant shouts and fighting outside, and it was dark that the sound gradually stopped.
Guangyuan Yicilang knew that the Sixth Division had finished, and had completely ended their mission in China...
Suddenly, noisy footsteps sounded outside the dilapidated temple, and then the torches kept flashing.
Hiromoto Yijiro could feel the tension of those soldiers, especially Morita Imayuki, who kept counting the pitiful bullets there, as if he thought that these bullets could repel the Chinese attack.
The Chinese soldiers were shouting from outside, and Morita Imago gritted his teeth and shot him outside, but what was greeted was the densest sound of bullets and grenade explosions.
Several island soldiers were dead, and only Guangyuan Yijiro and Private Morita Ichiyu were left in the entire ruined temple.
"Put down the gun, Morita." Guangyuan said calmly: "There is no point of resistance. You are still young and shouldn't have died just like that. After the war is over, you can return to your hometown and accompany your parents, or write down everything you have experienced in China..."
Morita Imai stared at the division commander in a daze, suddenly threw down his gun and let out a low cry.
The door of the broken temple was opened, and the Chinese soldiers outside saw a lieutenant general in the island country, holding a commanding knife and appearing in front of him.
"I am Lieutenant General Hiromoto, the commander of the 6th Division of the Imperial Army of the Great Island Kingdom. Please don't worry, I don't carry any weapons except this command knife."
When Guangyuan Yiciro said this, he heard a muffled groan from the room behind him. He sighed in a low voice, did that silly child commit suicide?
He glanced at the Chinese soldiers in front of him and stood there straight and said.
"Please tell your commander-in-chief General Zheng Yong, please tell him that an old friend of his would like to see him for the last time before he died. This is my only request."
The Chinese officers and soldiers looked at each other a few times, but didn't know what to do for a moment...
Zheng Yong still appeared here. To be honest, he also wanted to see what kind of officer this person who had been competing with him when he was in the Northeast was and what last words he had to say to him.
"I finally saw you, General Zheng."
Sighing with relief, Guangyuan took a step forward.
Zheng Yong stopped the guards who wanted to come up to protect him, and also walked forward with a smile.
This was their first meeting. Although they fought countless battles for this meeting, from the Northeast to the Third War Zone, and from the Third War Zone to the Third War Zone, they finally met these two natural rivals before Guangyuan Yicilang's death.
"You failed, do you have any last words to leave?"
Zheng Yong said with the winner's smile.
Guangyuan Yicilang smiled bitterly: "It shouldn't have ended like this. If my luck is better, maybe our current position should have been reversed..."
He paused for a moment: "General Zheng, the Sixth Division has failed again, but I believe that the Third War Zone will soon be owned by the Empire, because my Sixth Division has firmly attracted your main force and bought time for the headquarters. Do you think this is the case?"
"Yes." Zheng Yong seemed very calm.
"But I have made such preparations long ago. I don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a land. Perhaps your headquarters has realized this situation, but they have no choice but to do it because they can no longer stop. They know what is ahead, but they can only walk forward with their eyes closed..."
Guangyuan Yicilang was silent for a long time, and then he bowed slightly.
"Maybe you are right. Okay, I have met you, and my 6th Division and I have done our best. I have nothing to regret. General Zheng, as an opponent, I respect you very much. I hope you can meet my last little request. Please kill me with your own hands. It is also a glory to me to be able to die under your hands!"
Zheng Yong nodded. This was something that could make any officer proud. An enemy begged him to kill him with his own hands.
Guangyuan turned back and walked towards the ruined temple, as if he had guessed a long time ago what kind of way to die he should choose.
Zheng Yong took a torch and glanced at the slowly closed temple gate. He threw it out with great force. When the fire began to grow bigger, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, and the grudge between them was over.
Hu Bing also had this way of death that day. Maybe all this was destined to be in the dark.
Zheng Yong turned around, and he seemed to hear a wail coming from the temple. The night wind on the top of the mountain was a little cold, and Zheng Yong tightened his military uniform. It was over, but a new step was about to take it again...
