The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

"chief of staff!"

The guard at the door raised his hand to salute the Chief of Staff Akiyama Yoshitaka who came hurriedly.

"Is the general asleep?" Akiyama Yoshitaka asked.

The guard snapped to attention and replied, "Not yet."

"But the head of the division may be in a bad mood..." the guard added hesitantly.

Colonel Akiyama Yoshitaka nodded to show that he understood, and pushed open the creaking wooden door.

Akiyama Yoshitaka stepped into the dark room, looking around, when he saw the silent division commander Matsuura Junrokuro sitting on a chair with a saber facing the door, he was shocked.

With the help of the dim light in the house, it was determined that Junrokuro Matsuura did not commit suicide by breaking his abdomen, and then Colonel Akiyama Yoshitaka came back to his senses. If something happened to the head of the division, then their division would undoubtedly be even better.

"Akiyama-san, what's the matter?"

Matsuura Junrokuro's voice sounded in the room, full of exhaustion.

Colonel Akiyama Yoshitaka regained his thoughts, stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "General, the head of the Aoki Brigade and the others fought bloody battles for a day, but they failed to break through the defense line of the Chinese Army in the direction of Changling-Zhanggushan..."

The Changling-Zhanggushan line is their only way to survive now, but facing the tenaciously guarding Chinese army, no matter how fiercely they attack, they just can't take it down, which makes them extremely depressed and depressed.

Matsuura Junrokuro walked to the candlelight with a sullen face, stared at Akiyama Yoshitaka and said: "The commander of the Aoki brigade is ordered to severely punish the officers who are disadvantaged in combat! We must tear up the defense line of the Jina Army and break out, otherwise our 106th Division The regiment will be erased, do you know?! You and I will become sinners of the empire! Unforgivable!"

The unkempt Matsuura Junrokuro roared suddenly, and the violent state made the guards at the door shudder.

With the unfavorable situation of the war, the temper of Matsuura Junrokuro, who used to be calm and calm, became worse and worse. An hour ago, he slapped a staff officer who came in without knocking.

Seeing Junrokuro Matsuura go berserk, Chief of Staff Yoshitaka Akiyama could only hang his hands and stay silent, waiting for Junrokuro Matsuura to vent.

Seeing Yoshitaka Akiyama with his head bowed and hands down, Junrokuro Matsuura let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he had lost his composure, turned around and sat back in his chair dejectedly.

"Sit down and talk," Matsuura Junrokuro ordered.

"Thank you, General." Yoshitaka Akiyama sat down.

Junrokuro Matsuura had no choice but to bring the topic back: "What's the situation with the Aoki Brigade? Why didn't they tear up the defense line of the Kinna Army?"

Akiyama Yoshitaka sighed and said: "General, the Aoki Brigade has actually done its best. It has hardly stopped for a day today and has fought hand-to-hand with the Chinese army several times. The entire brigade has killed more than [-] soldiers. , the grassroots officers suffered heavy losses, not because they did not try their best, but because the Chinese army is too strong..."

Matsuura Junrokuro also knew the situation of his troops. Except for the officers, most of the soldiers were composed of reserve soldiers.

Although the combat effectiveness of their divisions was not as good as those of the powerful veteran divisions, he still felt a little angry after the battle.

But now it's useless to get angry, you have to keep fighting, otherwise there will only be annihilation.

"Can the Aoki Brigade continue to fight?"

Matsuura Junrokuro rubbed his tired temples and asked, more than 3000 people were killed in just one day. They had never experienced such heavy casualties.

"The head of the Qingmu brigade sent a message saying that they have lost all their officers at the grassroots level. Many squadrons and squadrons have almost lost their officers. The troops have almost lost their combat effectiveness. If they want to regain their combat effectiveness, they urgently need a group of officers to go to the grassroots to command."

Hearing that the battle was fought so badly, Matsuura Junrokuro was also shocked. How had the Chinese army become so strong that they were beaten so badly that they lost their combat effectiveness.

"A group of officers were dispatched from the troops directly under the division and told the head of the Qingmu brigade that he must regain his strength and organize an attack tomorrow, otherwise our division will be over."

"Hi Yi!"

The unfavorable battle made both of them gloomy. They rushed over aggressively, but they didn't expect to fall into this trap.

If he had known that he would encounter the current predicament, Junrokuro Matsuura would not have been so unaware of the information at the time, so he would have excitedly led the troops to the Wanjialing area.

"General, the army's shells have been exhausted, and there are not many bullets left. Look..."

Although the bad news came one after another, Yoshitaka Akiyama, as the chief of staff, had to report it to Junrokuro Matsuura to make him mentally prepared.

Matsuura Junrokuro waved his hand and said: "The commander has called. They are mobilizing supplies and ammunition. They can drop them by air as soon as tomorrow morning. Please be sure to do a good job of ground guidance for the airdrop."

Hearing that the airdrop supplies would arrive tomorrow, Yoshitaka Akiyama, who was frowning, finally squeezed out a hint of joy on his face.

"Tell all the soldiers of the imperial army that the difficulty is short-lived, and let them stick to their positions. The 27th, 101st, 9th, and 6th divisions are attacking with all their strength on the periphery. We will join them soon. When the time comes The Chinese army can be wiped out in one go.”

Speaking of this, Matsuura Junrokuro became energetic again, as if they could really break out.

But Yoshitaka Akiyama is not so optimistic. This time the combat effectiveness and strength of the Chinese army are beyond imagination. Can it really join forces with friendly forces?He is at a loss.

"Snapped!"

While Akiyama Yoshitaka and Matsuura Junrokuro were talking in the house, gunshots suddenly rang out outside.

Immediately, countless shouts and chaotic footsteps were heard, and the outside suddenly became chaotic.

Akiyama Yoshitaka hurriedly pulled out the Nambu pistol on his waist and rushed to the door: "Where to shoot?!"

The guard also took off his rifle from his shoulder and looked out of the village with a vigilant expression on his face.

"Go and have a look—" Chief Akiyama Yoshitaka stood guard at the door and ordered a guard.

"Hi Yi!"

The guards quickly grabbed their guns and rushed into the darkness outside the village.

After waiting for a few minutes, the guard hurried back and reported the situation to Akiyama Yoshitaka. It turned out that a group of hungry soldiers shot and killed the pack horse accompanying the army.

These pack horses are all carrying supplies and mountain cannons for the logistics team, how can they be easily shot and killed.

Chief of Staff Yoshitaka Akiyama and Division Chief Junrokuro Matsuura prepared to find out with a sullen face.

But when they walked outside the village, under the light of the fire, they saw unkempt soldiers throwing large pieces of unhaired horse meat into the pot in a hurry. Many devils who were extremely hungry even hugged raw meat He was gnawing, making his mouth full of horse blood.

Farther away, a large group of soldiers were holding guns and confronting the soldiers of the logistics regiment. Their eyes glowed green, staring at the pack horses, like a group of wild beasts.

When Colonel Akiyama Yoshitaka was about to step forward and yell at them to prevent them from eating the pack horses of the convoy, division head Junrokuro Matsuura stopped him.

"Slaughter all the pack horses and let the soldiers have a full meal." Junrokuro Matsuura ordered.

The six-day dry food they carried had already been eaten up. Seeing these exhausted and hungry soldiers who had been hungry for several days, Matsuura Junrokuro knew that if their stomach problems were not solved, and the supplies were not dropped tomorrow, they would be in chaos. position.

It was precisely because of Matsuura Junrokuro's order that the soldiers of the 106th Division finally ate a meal of boiled horse meat without salt...
