"Rumbling."

After a flash of lightning, a sound like thunder came over and over again. People's hearts suddenly trembled, and then they felt the tremor of the earth.

Thousands of anti-Japanese soldiers around Sanduo Village showed shock on their faces, and then they turned into surprise.

Wang Jindong said with emotion: "The devils are completely finished now."

He was right. Just as the violent explosion just now, all the buildings in Sanduozhuang were destroyed, and the entire ground seemed to have been plowed.

Otao, who was already in a coma, would never wake up. The acting brigade commander Shigetsu Yamamoto, the corps leader Otsuka Shigetsu, Noguchi Katsunosuke, Hideji Nakajima, and officers above the brigade were all turned into a pile of bloody and broken limbs.

"The general attack began!" Wang Jindong waved his hand and issued an offensive order.

The 187th Division, more than 100 mortars from the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas and Independence Battalion, and 24 mountain cannons roared together.

Under the fierce artillery fire, all the Japanese positions on the ground, including their machine guns and mortar positions, were destroyed. All the remaining Japanese troops were huddled into the trenches.

Hundreds of bullets from light and heavy machine guns were poured onto the enemy's trenches like heavy rain, and the Japanese army in the trenches had basically no chance of showing their heads.

Under the cover of machine guns, more than 3,000 soldiers of the National Army, Taohua Mountain guerrillas and soldiers of the Independence Battalion adopted the same tactics as the Japanese army. They began to crawl towards the Japanese trenches from 60 meters away.

The Japanese army was huddled in the trenches and could not shoot at all. They could only throw grenades blindly into the trenches in horror. Due to the short time, the trenches dug by the Japanese army were only more than half a person deep. They could not straighten their waists and could not use their strength. The grenades thrown rarely exceed 30 meters in front of the trenches, and there was basically no harm to the Japanese soldiers.

Because the enemy's firepower was completely suppressed, the anti-Japanese soldiers could not see the enemy's counterattack, so many soldiers simply stood up and ran forward quickly.

The soldiers saw that the grenades thrown by the Japanese army exploded only twenty or thirty meters away. With their running power, they began to throw grenades 40 meters away. According to Gao Jiu's request, each of the soldiers rushing forward dropped three grenades, and several thousand grenades were at least 1/3 and fell into the enemy's trenches.

Then, the anti-Japanese soldiers rushed up with bright bayonets.

After the explosion of explosives, artillery bombing and grenade attacks, there were only a few remaining Japanese soldiers, and they were soon flooded by the tide of anti-Japanese soldiers.

It took only 28 minutes to conquer the enemy's frontier positions from Wang Jindong's order to obtain the general attack.

In fact, after conquering the enemy's frontier positions, the battle was basically over. Because the Japanese army had no rear and no second line of defense, the Japanese army in the open space behind the trenches and in the village were basically dead.

Gao Jiu, Wang Jindong, Wang Zhankui, Jiang Xiaomei and others stood outside the village, looking at the thousands of anti-Japanese soldiers in front of them to search for the remaining enemies. At the beginning, there were sporadic gunfires, and soon they completely calmed down.

Not long after, officers at all levels of the 187th Division ran back one after another? Perhaps it was because of the rapid running? The officers' faces turned red and all looked extremely excited.

Li Fengming was extremely excited? The muscles on his face seemed to tremble a little? He gasped for a few breaths and shouted: "The Japanese are finished? The Japanese's 128th Brigade is completely finished."

After hearing Li Fengming's words, the scene was silent? Everyone looked shocked. Even Gao Jiu was a little overwhelmed.

A whole Japanese infantry brigade? That's it?

That's it!!!

There are usually two forms of victory in a battle or a battle, one is called defeating the enemy, and the other is called annihilation of the enemy.

It is hard to say that you defeat the enemy? For example, if you kill dozens of enemies? Or if you annihilate thousands of enemies, it can be called defeat. Even if the enemy has no casualties, it can also be called defeat. If you retreat actively, it can also be called defeat. Is there too much water in the middle? If you say it, there is no strength.

Only this complete annihilation cannot be fake, is it real? Even the enemy cannot deny it.

Wang Jindong's lips shivered, and he said, "Win? We won!"

Chief of Staff Liu was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He raised his arms and shouted, "Victory? Victory!"

These days? The soldiers of the 187th Division and the officers of the Observation Group have been under tremendous pressure? They have already been prepared for sacrifice. The huge contrast makes them ecstatic, and they all shouted with Chief Liu.

"Victed."

"Victory!"

The soldiers of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and the Independence Battalion have fought bloody battles these days. Faced with the powerful Japanese troops, they also felt huge psychological pressure. After their unremitting efforts, many soldiers bleed and sacrificed to achieve such a brilliant victory, and they all cheered excitedly.

Gao Jiu also raised his arms and cheered with the soldiers. This feeling of celebrating victory was really good, and chanting slogans made it feel very pleasant.

Jinan.

After receiving the report from Saburo Isoda, Chief of Staff of the 114th Division, General Haneda was very shocked and immediately presided over the combat meeting. Lieutenant General Mitsumatsu Shigeji, the commander of the 114th Division, had to attend the meeting, and was ridiculed by other generals and reprimanded by General Haneda at the meeting.

However, General Haneda knew the importance of rescuing the remnants of the 128th Brigade. Although there were not many people left, it was of great political significance to rescue them. As long as their system was still there, the Japanese army could claim to the outside world that they had suffered only small losses, or even said that they had not suffered any losses. It was difficult for people who did not know the truth to distinguish.

If it is really wiped out by the anti-Japanese military and civilians, it will not only be extremely passive in politics, but will also damage the morale of the Japanese army, but will have an extremely bad impact internationally. The myth of the invincible battle between the Great Japanese Yellow Army will be completely exposed.

After emergency consultations, General Haneda decided to fully carry out the rescue of the remnants of the 128th Brigade.

The specific deployment is: dispatch the 12th Air Force of the Japanese army, and go to Sanduozhuang, southwest Shandong at 7:00 tomorrow morning to airdrop weapons, ammunition and materials to support the 128th Brigade, and bomb the anti-Japanese armed forces on the periphery.

The 127th Brigade of the 114th Division, the Yamamoto Garrison stationed in Tai'an, and the 85th Brigade of the 73rd Division stationed in Xuzhou rescued the remnants of the 128th Brigade, and dispatched the 38th Division to feint in the direction of Nanyang to restrain the 41st Army of the National Army, so that it did not dare to provide reinforcements to the 187th Division of the National Army.

After Shigeji Matsu returned to the 114th Division headquarters, he immediately asked Chief of Staff Saburo Isoda to send a telegram to Shigetsu Yamamoto, the acting brigade commander of the 128th Brigade.

After Saburo Isoda left, Shigeji Matsu felt exhausted both physically and mentally, and returned to the bedroom and lay down.

At this moment, Saburo Isoda hurriedly walked back, and he said anxiously: "Secretary Commander, you can't contact the 128th Brigade."

"What?" Shigeji Matsuhiro sat up.

He stared at his eyes and said worriedly, "Will it be so fast?"

Saburo Isoda slowly shook his head and said with difficulty: "I don't know, I'm afraid there will be more misfortunes."

Wuhan.

Since having a short, unforgettable shared experience with Gao Jiu, Ouyang Xue's people have returned to Wuhan, but her heart remains in the war-torn southwest Shandong.

These days, she has been inquiring about the battle situation in southwestern Shandong, and the news she received is negative, especially when she heard that the 69th Division had given up the rescue of the 187th Division, she knew that Gao Jiu and others would fall into a tough battle.

At this moment, Ouyang Xue was sitting at the head of the bed, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Gao Jiu's masculine and handsome face appeared in front of her, deeply worried about him.

Wang Jindong's wife is worried about Wang Jindong every day. She lives in a huge royal palace with her children. She feels lonely and scared, so she simply moves to her parents' home. Her father, General Huang, is not willing to go home for the past two days. He really can't bear to see his daughter's tears.

In order to rescue Wang Jindong, General Huang tried all his best. The final news was that the 69th Division could not continue to rescue Wang Jindong. Now he has evacuated the Hanhuadu Ferry Crossing. The newly compiled 187th Division completely cut off foreign aid.

When it was time to get off work, the secretary asked him if he would go home. He shook his head and asked the secretary to call his home, saying that he had attended an important meeting and could not go home for the past two days.

Lin Yanni and Mrs. Wang are in the same mood. These days, her heart is tightly connected. After get off work, she doesn't want to stay alone in the dormitory or go home, so she comes to Wang Jindong's father-in-law's house and is with her best friend Mrs. Wang.

Two women who were sympathetic and pitiful, one was worried about their husbands and the other was worried about their lovers, and they were nagging to relieve their boredom.

The Fifth War Zone Command.

Guo Xuejia, director of the war zone confidential office, is 32 years old. She is a fair, plump and very attractive woman. She yawned, looked at her watch, and was about to go to rest. The radio duty officer came over with a telegram. She said: "Report Director, there is a telegram from the 41st Army here."

In recent times, due to the war in southwestern Shandong, the telegram of the 41st Army was one of the key concerns in the Fifth War Zone.

Guo Xuejia took out the password book and translated it. As the telegram content gradually translated, her beautiful big eyes flashed with surprise and confusion.

After she finished translating all, she said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

She hurried towards the war room.

The Japanese army is about to attack Wuhan, and the vanguard of the 3rd Division of the 11th Army of the Japanese army has approached Jiujiang. The Fifth War Zone has already made plans for this and has no excessive concerns.

What they were worried about was that the newly formed 187th Division was surrounded by the Japanese army and was expected to be annihilated by the Japanese army soon. The 38th Division of the Japanese army began to move towards Nanyang. If there was another problem with the 41st Army, the Fifth War Zone would have to make major adjustments if it had to be deployed in combat, and it was forced to draw troops from the Eastern Front to strengthen the defense of the Western Front, which would add a lot of pressure to the eastern battlefield.

The only hope for the newly compiled 187th Division in the Fifth War Zone is that they can hold on for a few more days, even if they persist for three more days, to gain time for mobilizing troops in the Fifth War Zone.

The Chief of Staff of the War Zone stayed in the war room until 10:00 pm. He felt very tired and prepared to go to rest.

At this moment, Guo Xuejia hurried over, and she said with surprise: "Report to the Chief of Staff, the 41st Army is urgently telegrammed."

The chief of staff felt that it was not good news. The biggest thing about the 41st Army now is that the 187th Division in Southwest Shandong was surrounded by the Japanese army. Could it be that they were annihilated by the Japanese army so soon?

However, when he saw Guo Xuejia's surprise look, he couldn't help but be very confused and thought to himself: "Can the 41st Army have any other good news?"

He took the telegram with doubt.

After reading the telegram, he said with shock: "How is this possible? Immediately send a telegram to the 41st Army and re-verify it. No, I directly send a telegram to the 187th Division, and ask Wang Jindong and the Chief of Staff of the 187th Division to jointly sign to ensure that their report is correct."
