The National Defense Force, marked blue on the map, adopted different annotation methods. The Blue Army represents itself and the Red represents the enemy. The Emperor watching the battle in the base camp felt a hung heart and said to everyone excitedly: "Wang Pinqing has done a good job and has put the god tail in the cage. Now it depends on how to close the door and beat the dog."

"Emperor, although the current battlefield situation is beneficial to our army, we are not sure whether we can swallow these tens of thousands of Japanese troops smoothly to avoid indigestion!" Deputy Chief of Staff Ha Hanzhang used his teaching point to guide the sand table, "First, the Japanese artillery fleet has recovered its strength after adjustments in the past few days. If the Japanese army has found that it is surrounded, bypassed the third, turned to the attack position of our army in the direction of Longkou, and accompanied by fleet artillery bombardment, it is possible to break through a hole and escape. At best, we can only catch a small part of the Japanese army that cuts the rear; secondly, if the Japanese army understands being surrounded, but

We did not break through the encirclement as in the first line just now but waited for reinforcements. Then after a few days, we waited for reinforcements to come and cooperated with the besieged troops to break the gap. We may not only be eliminated by the besieged Japanese troops, but we are likely to get in. Thirdly, the Japanese military department understood that the Kamio Division was surrounded and actively sent reinforcements, but it attacked other parts of our country by "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao". We can only be unable to defend ourselves. The General Staff has made a deduction. Once the Japanese army landed south of Shanghai based on its naval advantages, our army would have no strength to fight back. If we provoke a second battlefield in Dagukou or the northeast, the difficulties our army would cope with would also increase exponentially."

The emperor frowned and asked, "Kamikaze is in a hurry. How long will it take for the Japanese base camp to send reinforcements?"

"If the Japanese local fleet is used for transportation, the Japanese army can transport one division of troops to reinforce Shandong within 48 to 72 hours. If the fleet near Longkou is used for transportation, it will be increased by at least 18 hours. In other words, the Japanese reinforcements may reach the outer periphery of our army at the fastest of 6 days and the slowest of 8 days." The aforementioned time includes the march time after the Japanese landed.

"Are you 6 days?" the emperor nodded, "Shandong is under a lot of pressure. Tell them the time and let them grasp the right measure by themselves."

Degree? The captain of the Japanese corps in charge of the attack did not have this word in his mind. In his consciousness, the "meat bullet attack method" invented by the military god Nogi Hidian and the scene of fighting for the 203 Highlands. In the absence of firepower, he used his commanding knife to press the formation, forcing the troops to launch a continuous attack. Although the infantry repeatedly stopped less than 200 from the Chinese trenches, and although there were already piles of bodies that were killed, the Japanese soldiers were still charging forward like moths blowing fire.

The cooling water of the machine gun was boiling, and the temperature of the shell gun fire barrel was so high that it could boil eggs directly, but the battle was still going on. There was the sound of machine gun chains being quickly driven and the sound of pulling the bolts quickly. When the Japanese army fought to the death, the blood of the soldiers on the 3 imperial positions was aroused - I want to let you see if you have more lives or my more bullets? Many soldiers took out a full 250 rifle bullets in the fierce battle. You know, this can mean 50 magazines!

Around the heavy machine gunner, there were ammunition boxes lying everywhere, and no one had ever done a count of how many boxes they had been fired. Everyone knows that in order to maintain the firepower of such a heavy machine gun, five soldiers were needed to transport ammunition for it. Fortunately, we have enough ammunition! Everyone thought so in their minds. In the pouring rain of bullets and in the arc of grenades, it took a lot of effort to attack the Japanese army, which was less than 30 meters away from the trenches, was repelled for the seventh charge. Are they finished?

What the defenders didn't know at this time was that Lieutenant General Shenwei and his staff team had already realized the crisis facing the entire division. After the situation of the National Defense Forces surrounded him was clarified, he was extremely frustrated to find that they, who originally wanted to eat the third place in one fell swoop, have now fallen into the other party's range without fail. There was a fierce quarrel about where to go in the future.

Some of the more persistent staff members believed that they would immediately stop attacking the Chinese army in front and shrink the front line. Concentrate northward and wait for the troops to consolidate before they could fight against the Chinese army. Some extremely radical staff members believed that the Chinese army on the opposite side had been surrounded by the division for nearly 7 days, and their position range was greatly reduced, and their ammunition and material supply were cut off, which was already at the end of their reach. The only thing that supported them was reinforcements from the periphery. If they were relieved now, not only would the price they had paid become meaningless, but the entire division could not escape unscathed.

After arguing for a long time, the decision made by Shenwei was to attack 2 more. If the third division was still unable to take down, he would be ready to shrink... This compromise appeared to be impartial, but in fact it only further accelerated the collapse of the Shenwei division.

Before the death order of the godtail, the Japanese attack rushed like a tide and retreated like an avalanche. In front of the iron walls built by the division, the Japanese attack was defeated again and again. In addition to the corpses slumped on the ground, there were blood flowing everywhere. The originally slightly yellowed land had been soaked and scarlet, and the broken limbs and arms harvested by shrapnel and bullets were scattered into the fields in a mess, which was filled with good fertilizer. Although the autumn was clear and the smell of blood floating in the air was difficult to dissipate no matter what. It always drilled into people's nostrils, which made the soldiers who had first been on the battlefield feel disgusted and their stomachs were overturned. There was no time to distract during the battle, but they vomited after a while. Although there was also a lot of odor of vomit in the trenches, everyone felt that it was better than the pungent human blood.

Although the National Defense Forces are brave, they do not mean that the soldiers are fearless Superman and Iron Man. On the contrary, although the training is very difficult on weekdays, only when you go to the battlefield can you realize how easy it is to go to the battlefield. Just talking about digging trenches, doing homework, everyone laughs and working while chatting, which is fun, but letting you dig trenches when the enemy is in a hurry is a big chore. If the trenches are unfortunately hit by enemy shells, they may be buried in their brothers who are standing by, or they may be buried.

An indispensable ammunition and medicine supply is to work in the rain of bullets at this time, and it would be strange if you are on the gun. Another example is shooting. Usually, it is just a target, but when you go to the battlefield, you will be a living human being. Although the Japanese are hateful, they are still alive. Many soldiers hate Japanese people in their hearts, but they still hesitate when they shoot, so that their accurate heads fall down, or they will be panic and startle after the enemy approaches. Many soldiers still frightened their calves and their bodies are cramped when they see the Japanese hideous face, and they are not a minority of them. Although no one turns around and flees, there are shadows left after all. One shot can cause death, but in a nervous mood, they usually have to fire three to four shots to solve the problem.

If the enemy is just a vicious one, after all, it will be ferocious. If the rabbit is anxious, it will bite people. The recruits are extremely angry and will definitely shoot and kill the enemy. Anyway, you either kill him or he will kill you. In addition, every three recruits usually have a veteran who leads a team and has a backbone in the ranks. They will not act too timidly. However, once you die, the touch is quite big. Seeing that they were talking and laughing yesterday, comrades who were eating in a marching pot were reluctant to be killed by bullets or shrapnel. This shock is the biggest blow. Coupled with bloody injuries or death scenes, no matter how strong you are, you have to be touched.

Generally, there are two reactions in this situation. The first is that the temperament is violent, yelling desperately, and the bullets in his hand are fired. Some brave people will even step forward and kick the machine gunner, and fuck the guy himself and spill the grief and anger in the bullet link. Usually, this "explosion" can only last for a few minutes. Once the battle situation eases slightly, this type of person will feel lost, or talk to himself. They may be extremely sad or angry, or cry bitterly; the second is that the temperament is weak and simple, regardless of the war outside. The enemy is still attacking, and pounces over and calls on the name of the person who died in battle, or shakes the person's body vigorously, hoping that he will wake up. At this time, the veterans are often clear-minded, either wake him up with a fierce punch or kick him hard, hoping to divert attention. Otherwise, there will be insufficient personnel in defense, and wouldn't it be a bad thing for the enemy to rush over...

But no matter what, facing death and fear is the first lesson learned by these recruits. When the Japanese were cruel, they would use innocent people or captured officers and soldiers as their "training devices" to let the recruits practice killing and cultivate their courage. The National Defense Forces did not have such a way. Many soldiers had never even killed pigs and dogs, so their courage could only be cultivated on the battlefield. Fortunately, war is the best way to maturity. As long as the psychology did not collapse in the initial battle, they could grit their teeth and persevere no matter what. For most people, the 30-minute battle is trained. ;: It is often more than what was created in normal 3 training. Only after the test of war can the soldiers mature, and the training and skills they received can be transformed into courage. Only after the baptism of blood and fire can an army be called a strong brigade and have combat power that is compatible with technical equipment.

This is true for our army and the enemy. Although the Japanese army is brutal, most of the officers and soldiers are just new soldiers who join the army in peacetime and have the same fear of death. Although they forcibly launched an attack under the orders of the superiors and the supervision of veterans, the fear and fear have not been eliminated. Under the intensive artillery fire of the National Defense Forces, they witnessed their companions being killed by rainy shrapnel and bullets. The spirit of many soldiers tends to collapse. They can see it in the telescope. Many Japanese soldiers who were originally crawling forward often jumped up from the ground and ran away with their heads because they could not withstand the pressure and fear. However, they usually only had two outcomes. They either became the next saint because their bodies were too obvious to be exposed to the ground, or they were shot by the officers or the supervisory team behind them after they escaped, so as not to cause a chain reaction and damage their morale. This scene can be seen almost every attack, and more and more.

9 Attack, the Japanese army was covered with scars and corpses everywhere, but they could not push forward one step further. The defenders were panting and exhausted, but they firmly held the position. Although sometimes they gave up some less important positions for the sake of defense, the core area was still in the hands of No. 3, and it was far from the end of their lives.

As time went by, the sun gradually moved west, and the Japanese's offensive power gradually declined. In one go, they declined again, and then they died three times, let alone nine times? The subsequent attacks did nothing except increase casualties and dampened morale. The regiment responsible for the attack had more than half of the casualties and had no spare energy to launch a large-scale attack. In the evening, the Japanese on the attacking ground retreated like a tide of ebbing, with wailings and groans of the wounded in the middle, and the plaster flags were originally arrogant and drooping weakly.

Judging from the overall situation, after confirming that it was surrounded, the Japanese army ignored the surrounding troops of the National Defense Forces. In addition to leaving some forces for restraining defense, they also launched a full-scale attack on all the defense lines of the Division in the interior. The third army experienced the most severe test since the war started, and almost every place was in danger. Wu Peifu, who was leisurely and relaxed a few days ago, had been running around the fire line for 48 hours without closing his eyes, and his voice was hoarse. In order to fill the loopholes in the defense line, the division commander Cao sent his own guards to the top. The huge command post was so empty that there was no guard except the staff.

Both sides were gritting their teeth and trying to support it, and the National Defense Forces' planes changed from the original one-day dispatch to the 4th dispatch. The 3rd Division would otherwise have consumed such a large amount of ammunition, which would have been exhausted.

Do you want to break through? No? Is this a question? Isn't this? Hamlet-like questions rushed towards the godtail. Although he had read Shakespeare's works in history, I believe that his confusion must be no less than that in the play.
