Shigeru Fujita sent a telegram to the North China Front Army, waiting and waiting, but without any reply. He finally understood completely that he had been betrayed by the North China Front Army, and they didn't care about the life and death of the Kwantung Army.

Seeing that the North China Front Army ignored him, Shigeru Fujita was anxious and sent the telegram directly to Tu Feiyuan, asking him to urge the North China Front Army to provide support for him.

At the same time, he also sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army Command, reported the situation here, asked them to communicate with Tu Feiyuan, and quickly rescued the Kwantung Army troops.

After receiving the telegram from Shigeru Fujita, the Kwantung Army Command became anxious and hurriedly sent a telegram to Toohiyuan.

Doiyuan received a telegram from Shigeru Fujita and Kanto Army Headquarters, and sent it to the North China Front Army. However, his telegram was also filled with mud and no one responded.

No matter how Fujita Shigeru was trying, the North China Front Army still had no movement. Not only did they not see the Japanese army from Shandong coming to rescue, but they even passed by the Japanese stronghold, and the door was closed, and the suspension bridge was pulled high, and no one showed up.

The Japanese officers and soldiers had not eaten for a whole day and had not much ammunition in their hands. They were eager to get supplements, so they thought of robbing the villages along the highway, wanting to have a full meal first.

Unexpectedly, they went to three villages in succession. The people in the village had already implemented a strong wall and clearing the country under the arrangement of the underground party. Not only did the people evacuate all of them, they took away all the things they could take away, and they also found a place to bury them if they could not take them away.

Not only did the Japanese soldiers not find food, they could not even drink a sip of clean water. The wells in the village were either directly filled or contained animal corpses.

The Japanese officers and soldiers were so thirsty that they couldn't stand it anymore, so they went to the pond beside the village to get water. The water in the pond looked relatively turbid. If they were not willing to drink such water in normal times, at least they had to boil the water before drinking it.

However, they were so thirsty that they couldn't care about so much, so they drank the dirty water in the pond. Not long after, many people started to trash their stomachs.

Shigeru Fujita was crying but still tears. He quickly checked the map and saw a county town 10 kilometers ahead. He thought that there could be solved the problem of eating no matter what. So he led the remnants of the defeated generals and ran towards the county town.

They ran a few kilometers and saw that several large ditches had been dug out of the road ahead, and the vehicles obviously couldn't get through.

The pursuers behind were coming, and Shigeru Fujita had no time to repair the road, so Shigeru Fujita ordered to give up all the vehicles and go on foot toward the county town.

Without the car, the guards pulled a horse for Shigeru Fujita. Only then did he realize that he had been pampering for so many years and had never ridden a horse. After getting on the horse, he felt very uncomfortable and could only run with the soldiers pulling the horses on the reins.

On the back of the horse, Shigeru Fujita felt very uncomfortable. He really didn't expect that as the dignified deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he would run to North China to suffer this crime. He now regrets that he shouldn't have come to North China, and he shouldn't have run to Shandong to attack Taohua Mountain.

Just when the Japanese officers and soldiers saw the county town in front from afar, a large number of underground party anti-Japanese armed forces appeared in front of them. They were the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division of the Lubei Military Region led by Zhao Wannian.

Zhao Wannian had already received instructions from his subordinates to intercept the fleeing Japanese Kwantung Army.

He made preparations in advance, not only dug the highway, but also dug many trenches on both sides of the highway.

He had received the reminder from Wang Zhankui, but Zhao Wannian and his independent division troops had been in the underground party for a short time and had not learned guerrilla tactics. They were good at positional offensive and defensive operations, so they still planned to use fortifications to block the Japanese army.

The officers and soldiers of the Independent Division had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the Japanese coming, they immediately fired guns and cannons and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers.

If it were in the past, the Japanese soldiers were not afraid of the enemy's blockade, and they were confident that they would soon break through the enemy's positions. However, today, the large-caliber artillery in their hands had been discarded. Even the mortar soldiers thought they were too heavy and most of them were thrown away, with few shells. Their firepower could not even catch up with the independent division and could not pose any major threat. The soldiers had few ammunition in their hands and could not organize a powerful attack at all.

The commander of the Japanese First Division was still very experienced in combat. He knew that he had to break through the enemy's position immediately. Otherwise, the enemy's pursuers would catch up and bombard the fierce artillery fire again, and there would be no more troops left under his command.

Seeing a county town ahead, he hoped to break through the enemy's position as soon as possible, occupy that county town, and then rely on the county town to defend and stand for help.

He gave orders to his generals, asking them to concentrate their ammunition and hand it over to an infantry corps, where they could break through the enemy's positions.

After receiving the order from the division commander, various Japanese troops took action together. The officers began to ask the soldiers to hand over the ammunition, and then they found that the ammunition in their hands was really pitiful. After the ammunition was handed over, they were handed over to the infantry corps responsible for the offensive mission. Each soldier could only get more than twenty bullets in his hands.

The Japanese in the regiment who were responsible for the offensive mission also knew that the current situation was critical. Although there was not much ammunition, they also planned to attack the enemy, prepare to break through the enemy's positions and fight with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat. In any case, they must fight out a bloody path as soon as possible and enter the county town in front.

Just as the Japanese soldiers were about to launch an attack, Gao Jiu and others who were chasing behind them had already seen the Japanese army stop in front, so they set up artillery to start a new round of gunfire towards the Japanese army.

The Japanese infantry corps had just formed a battle formation and was about to use a few pitiful mortars to launch an attack on the enemy according to the infantry peninsula, and then launch an attack. At this time, the overwhelming rockets flew over and exploded them.

After the first round of shelling was over, the corps leader saw that his soldiers were either bombed to death or had fled in all directions, and there was no ability to attack the enemy.

The officers and soldiers of the Independent Division were originally very nervous when facing so many Japanese soldiers, but when they found that the Japanese soldiers had weak firepower, they understood that they had not much ammunition.

Therefore, everyone's courage became much greater, and soon they saw the Japanese beings being bombarded. They knew that reinforcements had arrived, which further increased the morale of the officers and soldiers.

Zhao Wannian decided to rely on the trenches to defend the enemy and would never let a Japanese soldier break through the position and enter the county town.

According to observations, Gao Jiu had already seen that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness had dropped very significantly, and he did not have the patience to continue playing with them, and was determined to annihilate these Japanese devils here.

While ordering the troops to launch continuous artillery bombardment on the Japanese army, he sent a telegram to Jiang Xiaomei, asking her to report the situation here to her superiors, mobilize all underground anti-Japanese armed forces in this area to come to reinforce, and annihilate these Japanese Kwantung Army here.

Wang Zhankui commanded the guerrilla cavalry to encircle the two wings to prevent the Japanese army from escaping from both wings.

Guo Hengming commanded the chariot troops to block the Taohuashan guerrilla artillery position to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking.

After receiving Jiang Xiaomei's report, the superior armed forces of the underground party immediately issued an emergency mobilization order, calling on all the underground party anti-Japanese armed forces near the battlefield to go to the battlefield and participate in the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

After receiving the orders from superiors, the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party marched in the direction of the battlefield. For a moment, smoke and dust were rolling on the ground, and countless anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party flocked to them.

The first to arrive at the battlefield were the three county brigades around the battlefield and militia from various villages around them. After they arrived at the battlefield, they dug trenches under the unified command of the deputy commander of the Lubei Military Region to prevent the enemy from breaking through.

At the beginning, the troops on the battlefield were the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas, the troops of three regiments brought by the deputy commander of the Lubei Military Region, and Zhao Wannian's Independent Division.

As time went by, the troops of six other regiments of the Lubei Military Region also arrived at the battlefield, and 12 county brigades and militia troops also arrived.

The troops of the Eastern Lu Military Region had already received instructions from their superiors and dispatched five regiments to enter the base of the Northern Lu Military Region. They were originally planning to ambush the Japanese army on the road, but after receiving instructions from their superiors, they rushed to the battlefield directly.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the total anti-Japanese armed forces who arrived at the battlefield had reached more than 60,000. The troops of the four regiments that the Binhai Military Region originally planned to intercept along the way were also rushing towards this place.

In order to ensure that the Kwantung Army could be encircled and annihilated the Japanese army, the underground party mobilized all anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong and launched attacks on the Japanese and puppet troops' strongholds, restraining the Japanese army's forces and preventing them from coming to reinforce.

During the battle, they were surprised to find that all the Japanese and puppet troops were huddled in the stronghold, just firing fire and guns to defend outside, and no Japanese and puppet troops came out to fight them.

In fact, they didn't know that the Japanese army had already received orders from their superiors. No matter what happened outside, they would not be allowed to leave the barracks. The underground anti-Japanese armed forces came to attack, and they just made defenses, as long as the enemy did not invade.

At this time, the Japanese Kwantung Army troops were constantly consumed, with only 30,000 troops left, and at least one quarter of them were wounded soldiers. They basically had no artillery in their hands, and there were only a few mortar shells left, and most of the officers and soldiers had no bullets in their hands. The soldiers were hungry and could no longer hold on. They were unable to launch a breakthrough, so they could only organize defense on the spot.

The Japanese officers and soldiers lacked excavation tools and could not even dig out a decent trench. Even if the engineers had some excavation tools in their hands, the soldiers were too overdrawn, so they had no strength to dig fortifications. Therefore, the Japanese officers and soldiers could only lie on the ground and use natural shelters such as fields to defend.

Seeing that the Japanese army was completely surrounded and the location had been fixed, Gao Jiu issued an order to the Air Force to come and bomb the Japanese army.

Before this, the Air Force had received orders to airdrop ammunition and combat supplies, so the first one was flying in a large number of transport planes.

They airdropped a large amount of supplies in the area designated by the guerrillas. Gao Jiu distributed them to the underground party anti-Japanese armed forces as agreed in advance.

The officers and soldiers had enough food and replenished their ammunition, and were ready to launch an attack on the Japanese army at any time.

The Japanese soldiers in the encirclement saw white parachutes floating down from the sky in the distance and knew that it was the enemy's airdropping supplies. They were so envious that they were so envious that they could not help but run over and grab some to fill their hungry stomachs.

Unfortunately, they did not have this ability, so they could only watch the enemy be replenished and then attacked them again.

This was not the worst. Soon after, the enemy bombers flew over, and they still took off from three places, so three batches of bombers bombed the Japanese army one after another.

Tens of thousands of Japanese troops were all surrounded and had nowhere to flee. They could only lie on the ground and pray that the shells would not fall on themselves.

After the three batches of bombers bombed, Fujita Shigeru, who survived by chance, was too lazy to count the number of casualties. He knew that this round of bombing alone was at least a few thousand people killed and injured.

Shigeru Fujita was furious. His anger was not aimed at the enemy surrounding them, but at the North China Front Army. So many anti-Japanese armed forces came to siege them, and even if the North China Front Army was blind and deaf, they could hear and see them, but no one came to rescue them.

Shigeru Fujita sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army Headquarters again, saying that they could no longer hold on, and asked the Kwantung Army to ask the North China Front Army to send troops to rescue immediately.

On the one hand, the Kwantung Army sent another telegram to Tu Feiyuan to urge him, and on the other hand, it sent a telegram directly to the North China Front Army.

Beiping City.

Of course, the North China Front Army received the telegrams sent by Tu Feiyuan and the telegrams sent by the Kwantung Army.

He was just promoted to the confidential staff officer of Zhongzuo. After his radio operator copied and collected the telegram, he was too lazy to translate. He was too lazy to take a look at things that he shouldn't know.

At 8:20 pm, the confidential staff officer received an order from Hamada Yoshihiro to come to his office.

The confidential staff officer hurriedly ran to Hamada Yoshihiro's office.

Hamada Yoshihiro drafted a telegram, asking him to send it to General Haneda, and then forwarded it to Shigeru Fujita.

Then, Hamada Yoshihiro took out two more telegrams and asked him to send them to Kwantung Jun and Tu Feiyuan respectively.

When sending a telegram to Tu Feiyuan, the radio station in the confidential room of the North China Front Army had a malfunction and had just replaced the radio station and just received the telegram from Tu Feiyuan and the Kwantung Army.
