Since the domestic reinforcements were clarified, the officers and soldiers of the Shenwei Division in the encirclement had been like drowning drowning people who had fallen into the water and began to survive. Although the generals and servants were dissatisfied with the efforts to send only one division to rescue the camp, they had hope for reinforcements and were not so keen on breaking through. The bloody facts were in front of them, and dozens of large and small breakthrough operations launched after being surrounded in the past few days all ended in failure. Apart from the killing of the other party and the heavy price of the one party, no positive effect was received.

What's even more terrible is that the breakout operation consumed very few supplies left by the Shenwei Division - after all, the offensive troops cannot fight hungry, and to meet the needs of the offensive troops, they have to achieve the supplies of the offensive troops by deducting non-operating supplies. Although the Japanese army is not embarrassed to feed on grass and bark, some middle and lower-level officers and soldiers from poor peasants who have been hungry and cold since childhood have been spontaneously harvesting wild vegetables - the land of Shandong in the clear and refreshing autumn is finally a road to no one. Although the hunger in their stomachs has improved, the vegetables on their faces cannot be dismissed no matter what.

What is more terrifying than hunger is the disease. Scientifically, once humans cannot consume enough food, their immunity and resistance will show an accelerated decline. If this is accompanied by emotions such as depression, sorrow, depression, etc., it will have a more harsh reaction. This scientific conclusion is verified by the Japanese army. Many originally healthy soldiers have various strange problems due to insufficient food and the inevitable depression after being surrounded. Some are vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness, and back pain... These problems, in addition to a very small number of non-organic lesions, are more or less related to the soldiers' undesirable health status.

This is the case with no injured soldiers, and the situation of those injured soldiers is even more difficult. Although the Shenwei Division is accompanied by relatively complete medical forces, the proportion of wounded and sick people in the encirclement has long exceeded the upper limit of treatment. The troops can only get a few treatments. There are not enough doctors, there are not enough medicines, and even enough stretchers. The first aid kits carried by the health soldiers were quickly used up, and a large number of soldiers who were injured in battle and were not fatal injuries could only be completely left to fate. Perhaps it was lost due to heavy bleeding, or simply because of an inconspicuous small wound that was infected.

Not to mention that in this era, there is no antibiotic that can eliminate the infection immediately, even if there is one, there is no use of these wounded and sick people. The only one is not enough to treat senior officers. So, the soldiers who were able to recover successfully were in trouble because of lack of medical treatment and medicine. The small wound developed into a huge infected mouth, and then they then fell into a coma. The soldiers who could have saved their lives through amputation and surgery quickly broke out in various complications due to lack of medical power. They died helplessly in the painful struggle.

Soldiers die almost every moment. The dying wail and struggle make the living people shudder, and they even think that dying at the first time will become a painful relief. In the wounded area in the center of the position, various gunfire sounds are often unbearable, and the wounded are giving themselves a pleasure through bullets. More wounded people have no energy to commit suicide, and can only beg the health soldiers to solve it with their eyes. What is extremely ironic is that the health soldiers who should have undertaken the task of saving lives and helping the wounded suddenly become the small group of people who killed the most among the Japanese army, but they are all their own people who fall under their swords.

In the dilemma of sorrow, some soldiers with mental breakdown chose to commit suicide because, walking in such a living hell, they no longer see any need to survive. After the sun rises every day, the health soldiers will go to see if the wounded lying in a row are still alive. If the air is cut off, it needs to be dealt with quickly. Otherwise, with the current weather, the bodies will soon rot and spread the plague.

In the telescope of the front-line reconnaissance force of the National Defense Force, the Japanese positions could see the rising black smoke every morning, and the people on the tip of the nose seemed to smell the pungent smell of the black smoke. At first, everyone didn't understand why the Japanese had to make such tricks. Isn't this clearly indicating the target of the National Defense Force? Later, the older company commander came. He saw the world and looked through the telescope and then told the people next to him: "That black smoke is nothing else, I'm afraid the Japanese are cremating the body? The smell you smell is probably the smell that only people who burn it to death..."

As soon as these words were said, several new recruits spit out their breakfast, which was really disgusting. The National Defense Force unexpectedly "understand" and "tolerate" the actions of the Japanese army. Every morning, there is no shelling of the places where the black smoke rises. The commanders specially ordered: "Don't interfere with the Japanese burning the bodies, it's best to burn them clean, otherwise, wouldn't it ruin our land? Besides, if the Japanese cannot handle the dead, wouldn't it be unlucky for us to have an epidemic?" The big guy nodded and took the order.

The siege has been siege for 10 days, and the ashes of burned corpses have already been thick. In Japan's unique Shinto culture, if there are no corpses and ashes, the person's soul will lose its territory of support and become a lonely ghost. Discarding someone's corpses or ashes is not only a great insult to the deceased, but also a possibility of being entangled by the souls of the deceased. Therefore, every morning, the Japanese officers in the encirclement gather to see the deceased off. In a solemn atmosphere, they watched the soldiers who were still alive and jumping 10 days ago turned into ashes in the black smoke. The ashes of each soldier were collected and handed over to the soldiers of their fellow countrymen for their care, so that they could be returned to their families after returning to their country.

Soldier Kazuo Akita stood quietly in the "show off" team. He did not hear the nonsense of the chief in the middle of the crowd, such as "killing oneself and serving the country for seven lives", which sounded more and more like a lie. He only knew that there would be another soul of death in the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. Four of the five fellow villagers who came out with him had died one after another, and the few pockets of his body were filled with the ashes of the dead. He stood there in a daze, and the hunger from his stomach forced him to spend more effort to stabilize his steps to prevent falling. Phantoms appeared in front of his dizzy head, and his dead companions appeared in front of him one by one, shaking.

He remembered the conversation with his fellow countrymen before going abroad: "Yamashita, why do you bring so many pockets to fight this time?" The other party told him with mercy: "You don't understand this, right? I have an uncle from another place who participated in the Battle of Rising 20 years ago. It is said that he made a fortune. He told me that if I go to China, I must bring more pockets, and you will be able to hold more things at that time..."

"So that's how it is, I've been taught..." Unexpectedly, so many pockets were not used elsewhere, but became my own home. Akita sighed silently in his heart, "I hope, I can go back to my hometown..." The dream of getting rich disappeared like this.

However, the general attack order initiated in the afternoon made Akita's wish to return home. With the rise of three red signal flares and the violent artillery bombardment, the general attack of the National Defense Force began. The artillery shells of various caliber were guided by the calibrated shooting elements. The daytime attack was not good for the concealment of the attack. However, it was quite beneficial for observing the results of the artillery and coordinating the movements of the troops. After receiving a few days of large-scale supply, the National Defense Force's artillery group finally had enough ammunition to open the way first. The dense artillery fire was like plowing fields, turning the hiding place of the Japanese inch inch. Various gun parts, broken limbs and arms flew into the sky in the air waves and then fell heavily. Even the heavy artillery was occasionally lifted into the air in the black smoke.

Faced with the sudden attack of the National Defense Force, the Japanese army was completely confused. This was almost the most fierce offensive since they were surrounded. Many soldiers instinctively wanted to resist or hide, but the overwhelming and airtight group of shells did not give them this opportunity. They staggered, and their bodies, which were unsteady due to hunger, did not give them this opportunity. In addition to a very small number of lucky people who had been holding in the trenches, a large number of Japanese soldiers exposed to the open space were ruthlessly injured by shrapnel.

As soon as the suffocating barrage spread, a sea of ​​attacks sounded in front of the Japanese position. "Run!" and "Kill all the Japanese!" cries seemed particularly clear with the rumbling cannons. The soldiers of the National Defense Forces began to attack with the momentum of a tiger going down the mountain under the cover of a tank. They prepared carefully for 10 days and accumulated their energy for 10 days. At this last moment, there was no reason not to show their true skills, let alone the Japanese on the opposite side were already frightened birds?

There was no organized response system, and there was no decent counterattack. Although the Japanese artillery fire began to fight back in scattered areas, this sparse density was like a joke and did not pose a threat to the National Defense Forces at all. Fortunately, the Japanese firepower points and fortifications that were retained in the artillery began to fight back in despair, but there was no destructive power except to scratch the leading national defense force tanks.

The majestic chariots advanced forward like an indestructible fortress. One fire point after another was destroyed by 37mm shells, one trenches after another, and the anti-war trenches were easily driven by the chariots. The Japanese soldiers trying to resist stubbornly turned into balls of blood mud. It doesn't matter if they can't get through. The infantrymen behind the chariots would pad the enemy's bodies under the tracks and help the chariots rush through the deep ditch. With their assistance, the chariots did not have to worry about the Japanese suicide soldiers who came out of the shooting dead corner. They were often taken off by the infantry before they rushed to the chariots. The explosive packs and cluster grenades on their bodies could only blow the suicide squads to pieces.

Wang Shizhen, commander-in-chief of Shandong front line, sat upright in the command center to listen to reports from all parties. This veteran from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 20 years ago finally had the opportunity to take revenge with his own hands.

"The southern front battle report, our division has advanced smoothly, and has broken through the three enemy lines of defense, and is currently pursuing in depth..."

"The 11th Division's battle report, our troops fought bravely to assault, and at present they were cutting off the enemy in front of them and were exterminated separately. The results of the battle are unknown..."

"Northern Road Battle Report, our army attacked the entire line, the Japanese army retreated step by step, and they were almost incapable of resistance, and they were ready to divide and encircle."

"Air team battle report, the enemy's positions were in chaos. Due to the excessive smoke on the ground and the staggering forces of our enemy and our troops, they could not shoot and drop bombs. At present, they can only conduct air surveillance. Once the enemy command is found, they will immediately return..."

"The communication team reported that the enemy's telegram was intercepted, which was the general idea that the Chinese army attacked the entire line, and our army resisted bravely, praying for the long-term military fortune..."

"Oh?" Jiang Fangzhen, who was originally silent, heard this and asked, "Didn't you ask for assistance?"

"Some are just a habitual request to quickly give our army tactical guidance!"

"Hahahahaha!" The command center laughed like a bunch of laughter. This was almost the catchphrase of the Divine Tail Division.

"Call back to all units and continue to advance according to the original plan, clean and completely eliminate all Japanese troops that refuse to surrender. The peripheral troops in the encirclement should be vigilant to prevent some enemies from escaping."

At 5:10, during the overwhelming attacks and interspersions of the National Defense Forces, the Japanese army, which were originally divided into two parts, were cut into about 9 pieces of large and small. The smallest encirclement had about 1,000 people, and the largest encirclement included about two regiments, and the commanding organ of the Shenwei Division was also in this encirclement.

At 5:19, the Japanese peripheral troops who were slow to reacted and called back. The telegram cheered the Kamio Division in an almost hysterical tone: "The reinforcements have already set out and you can land tomorrow morning. I hope your troops will hold on to the rescue..."
Chapter completed!
