Chapter 411 Are You Asking Me to Surrender?
The attack of the Chinese night attack force weakened a lot after daybreak. The officers and soldiers of the force were so tired after a night of non-stop offensive operations that they had to slow down the intensity of the attack.
After discovering this problem, the commanders of China's attacking forces dispatched the troops responsible for daytime attacks in advance to replace the night attack troops that could no longer attack.
The first to be responsible for the daytime attack was the New 100nd Army. Commander Huang had always been thinking about the New 100th Division that was blocking the Xiangzao Highway. As long as he could fight faster, the New th Division would suffer less losses.
In order to quickly eliminate the remnants of the Japanese 16th Division, Commander Huang sent all the officers and soldiers who could take part in the battle this time. Even the military headquarters' direct teams were organized into the daytime combat offensive sequence. Now only one platoon of troops was left in the entire military headquarters to perform guard duties.
As soon as the New 22nd Army took the lead in replacing the attacking troops in advance, the 31st Army and the 2nd Army also followed suit and replaced their respective attacking troops. There was no other way, this battle was about to end successfully, and whoever's troops reached the Japanese division headquarters first would get the greatest credit for this operation.
At this last moment of picking peaches, all the troops put forth all their strength, striving to be the first to reach the headquarters of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army. If their troops could kill or capture alive a Japanese division commander, the credit would be unbearable to think about.
The remnants of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army tried their best to barely resist the attack of the Chinese Night Attack Force. When the offensive of the Chinese Night Attack Force slowed down, all the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that the attack of the Chinese Force should be stopped. Not to mention that the Chinese attacking forces were tired, even they, the defenders, were exhausted and everyone needed a rest.
But before the Japanese army could relax for two hours, the Chinese troops on the opposite side launched a fierce attack again as if they were injected with chicken blood. This sudden change in the rhythm of the attack also caught the Japanese army by surprise.
Due to the long-term fighting, the brains of the Japanese officers and soldiers can no longer function normally. They are now fighting mechanically based on the instincts they have learned from their usual training, not to mention thinking about why the Chinese army on the opposite side is suddenly so fierce.
This rotation of attacking forces by the Chinese troops immediately achieved good results on all fronts. Under the attack of the Chinese troops, the Japanese army lost more defensive positions, and the surviving Japanese troops could only retreat to the division headquarters while fighting.
Now, just as the commander of the 16th Division, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, had predicted before, there is no safe place anymore. Now, Chinese attacking forces from several directions have attacked within an area only 300 meters away from the 16th Division headquarters.
At this distance, stray bullets occasionally flew through the headquarters where the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, was stationed. Although no casualties had been caused in the division headquarters, it made everyone extremely nervous. At the same time, everyone had a very ominous premonition in their hearts: they would die soon.
"Your Excellency the division commander, the Chinese army on the opposite side should have rotated its attacking forces. Now the Chinese army's offensive has become fierce again. The defensive positions around us have completely collapsed. Several attacking forces of the Chinese army have reached within 300 meters around the division headquarters. Our officers and soldiers are too tired and it is difficult to resist the attack of the Chinese army." Chief of Staff Major General Nakazawa San'o ran into the command center with an anxious look on his face and said to the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke.
Chief of Staff Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa had already been directing the battle at a position not far from the division headquarters, and his originally fair and round face was now so smoked by the explosion on the battlefield that his features were almost unrecognizable.
The division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, was now calm. Perhaps it was because he knew that he was likely to die this time and the hope of being rescued was completely impossible, so he finally calmed down.
"Mr. Nakazawa, it seems that we may not be able to hold out even until the night. The Chinese army will not give us any chance to breathe. Mr. Nakazawa, if things come to the last moment, I would like to trouble you to be my kaishakunin. Thank you for your help." The division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, said calmly to the chief of staff, Major General Nakazawa Misao, and finally politely bowed to the chief of staff, Major General Nakazawa Misao.
The Chief of Staff, Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa, also felt sad. The commander of a division of the Imperial Japanese Army was actually forced to commit suicide by the Chinese army. Who could have imagined this before the war with China? But this scene appeared vividly in front of him.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, it is my honor to be your kaishakunin. Don't worry, at the last moment, after I complete the task you assigned me, I will follow you to see Amaterasu." Chief of Staff Major General Nakazawa Mitsuo also quickly bowed and expressed his determination to die to the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke.
"No, Nakazawa-kun, my last order to you is not to die, but to live, do you understand?" When the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, said this, his eyes were shining.
When the Chief of Staff, Major General Nakazawa Sanfu, heard the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, order him to stay alive, he was stunned for a moment. Stay alive? How could he stay alive? There were Chinese troops all around him. How could he possibly break out of the encirclement of the Chinese troops? But the division commander wanted him to stay alive, which was too contradictory to the reality.
"Sir, division commander, I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean?" Chief of Staff Major General Mitsuo Nakazawa had not had much rest for several days and was now extremely tired. His brain was working very slowly, so he had to ask directly to the division commander, Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie.
"Mr. Nakazawa, you must survive as the only hope of the 16th Division. I have just thought carefully about the entire battle process, and I feel that there is a dark hand that has been controlling the fate of our 16th Division. You must investigate this matter for me. It can take ten or twenty years. The war between China and the Empire of Japan will end sooner or later. After the war, you will be free to investigate. Do you understand?" The division commander, Lieutenant General Fujie Keisuke, was also determined to shock the enemy.
Now the Chief of Staff, Major General Mitsuyo Nakazawa, finally understood what the division commander, Lieutenant General Keisuke Fujie, meant by the method of survival. This meant that he should surrender to the Chinese army.
