The violent shelling continued to cause casualties among the Japanese officers and soldiers, and the heart of the 35th Brigade commander was bleeding. He hoped that the enemy's shelling would end quickly, preserve as much of his vitality as possible, and then repel the enemy's infantry's attack.

After a long time, the enemy's shelling finally ended.

The alive Japanese officers and soldiers climbed up one after another, and set up machine guns and rifles in the trenches to recover the enemy's attack.

The enemy's attack began, which was completely beyond the expectations of the Japanese officers and soldiers.

With the roar of the engine, what appeared in the eyes of the Japanese officers and soldiers were groups of armored combat vehicles. The tracks of these steel monsters were constantly rotating, making strange screams, and heading towards the Japanese trenches.

When the Japanese army saw that the enemy had so many armored combat vehicles, they were all very frightened.

They shot desperately, trying desperately to stop the enemy from approaching, but the bullets hit the infantry fighting chariots and were all bounced away. The infantry fighting chariots were not affected at all and continued to crush the Japanese positions.

The Japanese officers and soldiers were helpless and could only watch the enemy's chariots approaching step by step.

The 35th Brigade is worthy of being the ace force of the Japanese army. The soldiers were extremely brave. When they saw that the bullets could not penetrate the enemy's armored combat vehicles, they picked up grenades and charged towards the infantry combat vehicles, hoping to use grenades to blow up the enemy's infantry combat vehicles.

The anti-Japanese soldiers in the infantry fighting chariot saw the Japanese soldiers rushing towards them from the shooting hole and wiped them out without mercy.

There are many shooting holes on the infantry fighting vehicles, and there are no blind spots at all. The Japanese soldiers have no chance to get close to the infantry fighting vehicles at all.

Despite the heavy casualties, the Japanese soldiers rushed forward desperately, throwing grenades at the infantry fighting vehicles.

Many Japanese soldiers were shot dead before they could throw their grenades. The grenades fell to their side and blew their bodies into pieces.

Many grenades flew over, but either exploded on one side or threw it on the infantry fighting vehicle and were bounced out, not hurting the anti-Japanese soldiers inside. All the Japanese resistance was futile.

Groups of infantry fighting vehicles quickly ran through the Japanese trenches and rushed into the enemy's positions. The back door of the infantry fighting vehicles opened. Without waiting for the chariots to stop, the soldiers inside jumped off from above and then wiped out the remaining Japanese soldiers.

A large number of infantry fighting vehicles rushed into the enemy's positions, followed by jeeps loaded with 82mm recoilless cannons. They cooperated with the infantry fighting vehicles to destroy the Japanese firepower points one by one.

The 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army also had a chariot squadron equipped with more than a dozen armored vehicles of the Doudian Army. Because it was too small compared to the armored vehicles of the Anti-Japanese Army, it did not launch a counterattack on the Anti-Japanese Army, but used those armored vehicles as fixed firepower points.

The anti-Japanese soldiers used machine guns on infantry fighting vehicles to easily tear open the armor of Japanese armored vehicles. The shells fired by the 82mm recoilless cannon even tore the Japanese armored vehicles into pieces like paper boxes, and the Japanese armored vehicles were quickly lost.

The commander of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army faced the powerful offensive of the Anti-Japanese Army. He was at a loss and could only continue to command the soldiers to resist in vain.

Under the huge weapon differences, the officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army launched a crushing blow to the Japanese army. The Japanese army's resistance was constantly defeated, with heavy casualties and forced to retreat to a narrow position with the village as the core.

The terrain here is relatively complex, with high slopes, and armored combat vehicles are inconvenient to move. The officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army could only launch an attack on the Japanese army on foot. As a result, they were stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army, causing considerable casualties and the attack was forced to stop.

Seeing this situation, Gao Jiu ordered the attack to be temporarily stopped, the artillery was adjusted, and once again launched a fierce bombardment on the Japanese positions.

The commander of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army heard the rumbling sound of cannons outside and the shrill screams of soldiers coming from behind. He was in an extremely bad mood.

In the face of absolute strength, the Japanese army, known as the trump card, basically had no power to fight back. He sent telegrams for help, and did not bother to use fig leafs such as tactical guidance in the telegram. Instead, he begged directly and sent troops to reinforce.

Fengwen at the foot of the mountain was anxious but helpless. He couldn't count on the Air Force. The 67th Division crawled like a snail on the road. The only thing he could do was send a telegram to the 35th Brigade, encouraging them to fight bravely, and fight to the end for Tian Huangbi.

The commander of the 35th Brigade was so funny that he couldn't help but say these nonsense at this time. What's the use of saying these nonsense? He sighed in frustration, shook his head, and sat there in a daze.

Suddenly, the sound of cannons outside stopped.

The brigade commander didn't know what was going on, so he raised his head and asked, "Go and see what's going on."

Not long after, a Japanese sir came in and said, "Brig Commander, the enemy stopped shelling, and an armored vehicle drove towards this side."

The brigade commander cheered up, got out of the bunker, and observed forward from the cannon mirror.

Sure enough, he saw an infantry fighting vehicle coming out of the Anti-Japanese Army's ranks. The chariot looked a little strange, with two huge horns mounted side by side on the top of the chariot.

He understood that this was the enemy's propaganda car and was used to shout.

Soon, the armored vehicle drove down the hillside and saw that the hillside in front was a little steep, so it stopped and a loud voice came from the loudspeaker: "The officers and soldiers of the 35th Brigade, you have been completely surrounded, your reinforcements have been repelled, don't have any more fantasies.

I believe you have heard of the reputation of Gao Jiuye of Taohua Mountain. Today, the one who beats you is the team of Gao Jiuye of Taohua Mountain.

Master Gao Jiu said that you are worthy of being the ace force of the Japanese army and express your admiration for the tenacious fighting spirit you have shown. You have done your best. If you are willing to surrender, you will be respected by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and enjoy the treatment you deserve.

Master Gao Jiu kept his word, I believe you also know that there were countless Japanese troops surrendering to Master Jiu, and finally let them leave safely.

Now, give you half an hour. If you agree to surrender, send someone out to show your sincerity.

We will wait for half an hour. If you do not surrender, you will launch a general attack on you and completely destroy you.

Japanese officers and soldiers, you must think about it. Your relatives in your hometown are waiting for you to go home. Don’t let them feel sad for you.

It's only half an hour, hurry up and make up your mind.”

The commander of the 35th Brigade was very angry and roared: "Damn Gao Jiu, he bullied people too much. It would be a daydream to make my great Japanese Huang army surrender."

The brigade commander yelled for a while and felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. If it were the past, if he had said these passionate words, someone would definitely agree with him.

The surroundings were quiet and the atmosphere made people feel a little weird.

He looked around and saw that the Japanese soldiers were not in such an excited state at all, and they all looked pale and depressed.

At this time, his two regiment captains came in together, and some Japanese brigade captains were following them.

The brigade leader said angrily: "If you don't stand your position, why are you here to come?"

A corps leader said: "Brig Commander, the casualties of the troops are really heavy. My corps are now less than 1/3 and I can no longer fight."

Another corps commander also said: "Yes, brigade commander, my corps is in a worse situation. Even the wounded soldiers can't gather a complete infantry brigade. This battle can't be fought any longer."

The Japanese brigade captains behind them were also talking, saying that the enemy's firepower was too strong and that the battle could not be fought again, otherwise the person would be killed.

The brigade commander stared at his blood-red eyes and said angrily: "What are you doing when you say this now?"

The wing captain and the captains faced his eyes without any fear.

It turned out that the Japanese officers were all smart people and had their own intelligence channels. When they entered Thailand, they knew that they were about to face the world-famous enemy, Gao Jiu's troops.

They had inquired about Gao Jiu's deeds through various channels, and they were very clear about Gao Jiu's preferential treatment of prisoners of war.

Before the battle began, they did not believe that Gao Jiu's team was so powerful. Now the iron facts are in front of them, so they cannot help but believe them.

If this battle continues, the entire army will inevitably be destroyed. As the Japanese ace unit, the Japanese officers were very brave. In the previous battles, they never had the idea of ​​surrender. That was because during the battle, they firmly believed that their strong combat power was enough to defeat all enemies.

But when they knew that the enemy they were facing was the invincible Gao Jiu, their self-confidence had been completely lost, their mental state had undergone fundamental changes, and their willpower was not that strong.

Especially they knew that Gao Jiu would not abuse prisoners of war and would release them. In this case, the desire to survive defeated the remaining trace of pride in his heart.

At this moment, they saw that the brigade commander still wanted to treat everyone as cannon fodder, and they glared at him one by one, as if they were about to eat him.

The brigade commander felt the wolf-like gaze of his subordinates. He knew that if he did not agree to surrender, these guys might have killed their lives immediately.

In this case, even if I persist in fighting, I can only die under the hands of these people in a daze, and I will not be able to preserve my dignity.

He sighed and said, "Well, in order to save the lives of the soldiers, I agree to surrender, but you can go by yourself after surrendering. I will give Tian Huangbi apologies."

The officers got the answer they wanted and felt relieved. They didn't care about the life and death of the brigade commander, but the officers who were in a much better mood still persuaded him to surrender together in their years of working with the brigade commander. In fact, these guys did not have a good intention and still hoped that the brigade commander would take the lead in surrendering, so that their responsibilities would be much smaller.

Everyone persuaded the brigade commander not to seek flaws, and to lead everyone to surrender and work together in the future.

The officers said, surrounding the brigade commander.

The captains even stepped forward and supported the brigade commander with their hands to prevent him from committing suicide.

The brigade commander was determined to commit suicide, so he turned his attention to his trusted guards, hoping that they could stop the reckless actions of these officers.

However, what disappointed him even more was that the expressions of the soldiers were very numb, but now they were all vivid. It seemed that these guys had the same intention and wanted to surrender to the enemy.

He said helplessly: "Okay, send someone out to negotiate with Gao Jiu."

Under the hillside, Liao Tong was a little impatient.

He said, "Master Jiu, what are you talking about with these Japanese devils? Just flatten them."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "It's better to try to win the surrender of these Japanese devils. The Japanese ace army can put down their weapons and surrender. Other Japanese devils will be more likely to surrender in the future. Please wait patiently for a while."

25 minutes have passed, and Gao Jiu is also a little impatient to wait.

He was about to issue an order to attack when he heard someone shouting in front of him: "The Japanese have surrendered."

When everyone saw that a Japanese officer appeared on the hillside, holding a white flag made of white sheets in his hand and shaking it vigorously there.

Not long after, a Japanese army corps leader came to negotiate with Gao Jiu on behalf of the 35th Brigade.

Gao Jiu agreed to their surrender, guaranteeing that they would not abuse prisoners of war, and not confiscate their corps flags. The officers could keep the command knife and also agreed to hold a formal surrender ceremony.

The Japanese corps captain expressed his gratitude and returned to report to the brigade commander.

Not long after, the Japanese army lined up in an orderly manner and carried the wounded out.

At this time, there were 2,385 remaining officers and soldiers of the 35th Brigade. They piled up weapons in designated locations according to the requirements of the Anti-Japanese soldiers.

The commander of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army led his senior officers to the front of the anti-Japanese generals, bowed and presented his command knife.

Gao Jiu, Liao Tong, and Thai military generals respectively represented the Taohuashan guerrillas, Yuan Zheng's army and Thai army, and accepted the surrender of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese army.

Hanoi.

Yamashita Fengwen didn't receive a telegram from the 35th Brigade for more than an hour, and knew that the 35th Brigade might be in danger. He asked someone to send the telegram, but the 35th Brigade never heard back.

He knew that the 35th Brigade had finished, and in order to avoid greater casualties, he sent a telegram to the 67th Division, ordering them to stop advancing and return to their original place of residence.

The commander of the 67th Division had known that this would be the result. He was waiting for the mountain to give him the order to retreat. After receiving the telegram, he returned in a happy mood.
