After Ito disposed of the body of the combat staff officer, he immediately walked out of the door, gathered the rest of the team together, and then came to the team and shouted with all his strength: "Now our troops are under attack from the West Shandong base area."
The Eighth Route Army was besieged and could not evacuate Houshan immediately. Previously, due to my participation in the battle,
We have lost three brigades in a row because of our miscalculation. The reason for all this is that your chief of staff is eager to withdraw from the back mountain. In order to prevent this from happening again, I am ordering you all to stay where you are without me.
You are not allowed to step out of the back of your order. If anyone dares to violate it, he will be shot on the spot!"
After Takehiko Ito said this, he turned around and prepared to return to the temporary headquarters. However, he heard a voice from behind after taking just two steps. As soon as Takehiko Ito turned around, he saw the Japanese standing in front of him questioning him.
Soldier, Takehiko Ito frowned when he saw this, and quickly approached the Japanese soldier.
In front of him, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed his collar and said: "Now I am the supreme commander of this army. You, an ordinary soldier, have no right to question me. If you don't want to die now, don't disobey my orders!"
After saying that, he thrust his right hand forward and pushed the Japanese soldier to the ground.
But the matter didn't end here. After Ito pushed the Japanese soldier down, he was about to withdraw and return to the headquarters. However, before he could turn around, the Japanese soldier struggled to touch the man next to him.
Rifle, Takehiko Ito saw this
Jing quickly took out the pistol from his waist and shot the Japanese soldier. Seeing Ito Takehiko's irrational killing behavior, the other Japanese soldiers also rioted, forced Takehiko Ito into the temporary command room, and took him to the temporary command room.
The door to the command room is blocked.
After doing all this, a Japanese captain came to the Japanese team and said: "The combat staff once said when he was alive that the purpose of Li Yan's troops coming this time is to surround our troops in the back mountains.
Until we run out of ammunition and food and starve to death in this hellish place, if we continue to stay here as Colonel Ito thinks, we will be asking for death! We don’t want to die here, we want to get out alive!”
After seeing this move by the Japanese captain, the Japanese troops' desire to survive became even stronger. Seeing this, the Japanese captain quickly arranged the remaining Japanese soldiers into a column and led the troops to the east exit of the middle trail in the back mountain.
Before, preparing for the final assault, but at this time, I was in
Two Eighth Route Army squads who were observing the mountain wall on the west side of the back mountain also discovered the Japanese movement. Seeing that these Japanese soldiers were preparing to break out of the back mountain, an Eighth Route Army soldier in the squad quickly came to Li Yan.
Conveyed the situation regarding the Japanese to Li Yan.
After hearing this, Li Yan immediately gathered the entire army together, then came to the front of the team and ordered: "Everyone is here, turn right! Run forward, target, rear Shanxi exit!" After hearing this, the troops behind him immediately integrated into the group.
Together, we advance towards the back mountain and wait until the troops are still not far away from the Hou Shanxi exit.
When he reached one thousand meters, Li Yan quickly pulled two-thirds of the troops to his side and took them away from the original troops. He turned the team's head and walked south for more than a minute. He stopped to check and saw where he was now.
At this angle, the Japanese would not be discovered, so Li Yan stretched out his right hand and gave the order to stop advancing.
When this group of Japanese soldiers were approaching the exit on the west side of the back mountain, Li Yan led the troops behind him and slowly advanced a certain distance to the east. At this time, all the Japanese soldiers had already left the back mountain trail. Upon seeing this, Li Yan
Divide half of the troops behind you and order them to enter the back mountain trail and go up the east foot of the back mountain to the top of the back mountain to wait. Seeing this, the Eighth Route Army troops behind them quickly separated half of the troops and arrived as Li Yan said.
specified location.
At this time, Li Yan's troops had been divided into three parts, but the Japanese soldiers only found a small group of troops in front of them. Seeing that the number of Eighth Route Army troops in front of them was less than two brigades, these Japanese soldiers suddenly
The child became energetic and cheered toward
The Eighth Route Army soldiers, numbering less than 1,000, rushed over. However, when they had just rushed forward, the guns in the hands of the Eighth Route Army troops on the back mountain rang out. As soon as these Japanese soldiers turned around, they saw a group coming from the southwest of the back mountain.
He turned sideways on the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were charging towards him.
Under the joint encirclement and suppression by troops from the three fronts, the Japanese column quickly lost its original tactical formation. Seeing that the Japanese formation had become a mess, Li Yan summoned the team behind him to confront the Japanese who wanted to escape.
The Japanese troops on the mountain launched their final attack. Half an hour later, there were only 700 disarmed Japanese soldiers left on the west side of the mountain, and a Japanese captain who held up a pistol and refused to surrender.
"Your team is finished. If you want to survive, you must put down your weapons now. Our Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially." Li Yan said lightly. After hearing this, the Japanese captain immediately raised his pistol, but he did not point it at Li Yan, but
Li Yan directly pressed the muzzle of the gun to his temple. After a gunshot, the Japanese captain fell straight to the ground, and blood began to flow from his temple. Li Yan saw
The Japanese captain was dead, so he turned around and tied the hands of the 700 Japanese soldiers together with the team behind him, and then pulled out a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers to take the responsibility of sending these Japanese prisoners back to the West Shandong base area for temporary detention.
He led most of his troops to Takehiko Ito's combat command room through the trail in the middle of the back mountain. He took out the box cannon from his waist and kicked open the wooden door in front of him.
But the next thing that caught Li Yan's eyes was the body of Takehiko Ito. Seeing that Takehiko Ito was dead, Li Yan inserted the box cannon back into his waist and prepared to lead his troops back to the West Shandong base area. At the same time, he subconsciously gave temporary command here.
He glanced back and forth in the room, and when Li Yan's eyes glanced at a small wooden platform near the door, he suddenly felt
A pile of paper fragments placed on it and a destroyed transmitter were found. When Li Yan saw this, he quickly walked over and picked up the fragments one by one and looked at them. He saw that the content above looked a bit like a code book.
, Li Yan quickly gathered them up and took them back to the West Shandong base to piece them together and identify them carefully.
After all the fragments were put together, Li Yan discovered that the pair of fragments was not just a code pad, but also a secret message written with a pen. Li Yan put the code in his hand and translated the contents with the help of the code pad.
When all the secret messages had been deciphered, Li Yan suddenly
Ran exclaimed, and then came to Jiang Zhen, and handed the secret message he had translated into Jiang Zhen's hand. Jiang Zhen took it and only read two lines of words, then knitted his brows into a knot, and then hurried over
In front of the map of Xishan, focus on the southwest base area of Xishan and think about it carefully.
