    According to the terrain conditions of the brigade's defense, the effect of laying minefields, needless to say, was quickly tested on the battlefield. Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Mechanized Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, not only  Let not just one regiment, but all four regiments of the entire brigade, do this. In front of the blocking position of the first brigade, there are not only more than 16,000 soldiers of the first brigade, a brigade heavy artillery regiment, and a "  "Thunder" rocket launcher battalion, hundreds of artillery pieces from the artillery battalions of each regiment, and tens of thousands of landmines.

    The night is deserted, and the August evening wind blows through the long forest, making the leaves rustle. Groups of figures, like illusory phantoms, come from a distance in the night. The sound of heavy footsteps breaks the night.  In the tranquility, the breakout operation of the Third Army of the Western Manchuria Kwantung Army was very smooth, so smooth that the commander of the Third Army, Lieutenant General Tosa, felt a little unreal and illusory!

    The four divisions of the Third Army were divided into four groups. After eight o'clock that night, they marched toward the south of the encirclement with a tragic and desperate momentum. Lieutenant General Tosa was already mentally prepared for the soldiers to be stained with blood on the battlefield.  The military headquarters acted on the left. An hour later, the battlefield was silent. Two hours later, it was still deathly quiet. The expected blockade with heavy artillery fire and gunshots did not appear.

    Until we entered the edge of the Nuruerhu Mountains, and then we really entered the mountainous area, there were still - still no independent division troops to block the attack, as if surrounding the more than 400,000 independent divisions of the Kwantung Army.  The troops seemed to be asleep, and they all seemed to disappear overnight!

    Looking at the undulating mountains of Nuruer Tiger Mountain in the dark night, extending to the horizon like waves, Lieutenant General Tosa took a deep breath, with an ominous heaviness in his heart. He absolutely did not believe it, surrounded by  Western Manchurian Kwantung Army troops, independent division soldiers for more than ten days.  If more than 400,000 imperial soldiers were allowed to escape like this, then there was only one possibility for the Third Army to break through so smoothly. A bigger trap was waiting for him not far ahead!

    ? forward troops.  Having entered the mountainous area, Lieutenant General Tosa ordered the accompanying radio station to immediately contact the commander of the Fifth Army, Lieutenant General Terajima Shinzo, who was serving as the rearguard, and the commanders of the three armies on the left and right wings to inquire about the situation of the breakout. More than 400,000 soldiers together  action.  But there was no sound of gunfire at all. This in itself is an extremely abnormal situation!

    Soon, we got a response. None of the troops that broke through were intercepted by the independent division troops. However, they were in the east, west, and north directions.  They all found that a large number of independent division troops were approaching, but they stayed out of the fighting distance. They seemed to have no intention of attacking, and were just monitoring and following them from a distance.

    After reading the telegram, the hairs on Lieutenant General Tosa's body exploded. The independent division troops put on such a posture, shrinking the encirclement from three directions.  How to put it, it's like driving a group of sheep in a predetermined direction. Unfortunately, the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers in Western Manchuria are just this group of sheep.

    Now, he is an idiot.  You will also understand that the independent division troops outside the encirclement circle are deliberately opening up the southern opening, intending to capture the Kwantung Army troops in the Western Manchuria area.  They all rushed into the Qilaotu Mountain Mountain Area and the Nuruerhu Mountain Mountain Area. A huge trap was just ahead.

    The commander of the independent division did not seem to hide his battle intentions. Otherwise, he should have blocked the breaking out of the Third Army to a certain extent. "Is it a hole or a pocket!" Lieutenant General Tosa laughed at himself, with a deep smile.  The bitterness and helplessness, even if you know that there is a big pocket in front of you, but you still have to bite the bullet and get in. This is the sadness, the sadness of not being able to control your own destiny.

    Now it is impossible to turn around. The defensive position originally constructed is probably occupied by independent division troops from the east, north and west directions. "Report to the commander, I received a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro of the headquarters, asking  The situation of our unit's breakout!" Just when Lieutenant General Tosa felt as if his heart was fried, a confidential staff officer came to report.

    Lieutenant General Tosa no longer even had the mood to smile. "Call back to the Commander-in-Chief. Our Third Army's breakout operation went extremely smoothly. The forwards have entered the edge of the Nuruer Tiger Mountains. More than four hours have passed since the breakout began."  Time, there has not been any obstruction by the Independent Division troops, and the Ministry of Staff can be sure that the Independent Division troops have laid a huge trap in the mountainous areas leading to western Liaoning! "

    "The purpose is to drive our Kwantung Army troops in the Western Manchuria area into the mountains, then encircle them and finally annihilate them. The Ministry of Staff believes that this breakout operation has no chance of success. It has judged the enemy's intention and continues  It is unwise to carry out the headquarters¡¯ order to break out in the direction of Liaoxi!¡±

    "Therefore, the Ministry of Staff recommends that our Kwantung Army troops in the Western Manchuria area use corps as units to break out from all directions and try to tear apart the encirclement of the independent division troops as much as possible. Perhaps, only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope!"

    Knowing that there is a trap ahead, you still insist on goingJumping, which is more pathetic than an idiot, Lieutenant General Tosa decided to state his opinions to the commander-in-chief, General Nanjiro, and use each army as an independent unit to disperse and break out. The losses of the troops may be very serious, but there will always be a breakout.  The chance of encirclement, breakout battle is like this. The more chaotic the battlefield, the greater the chance of survival. It is much better to have five armies blooming on all sides than to be driven into a trap!

    General Nanjiro, who was still staying at the Kwantung Army headquarters in Fengtian, quickly called back, but the content of the telegram made Lieutenant General Tosa's hands and feet go cold. "Commander Tosa, I must solemnly tell you that orders from the headquarters cannot be hesitated or changed.  Even if there is a trap set by the independent division troops, the Imperial Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria should rush forward without hesitation. There is no other way! "

    "Any hesitation and hesitation will bring serious and dangerous consequences to the troops. You are responsible for winning or losing the temporary supreme commander of the Western Manchurian Kwantung Army, and the entire breakout operation should not be caused by your hesitation and hesitation.  If you fail, don¡¯t worry about the casualties, just resolutely carry out the orders from the headquarters!¡±

    Lieutenant General Tosa felt like he was about to vomit blood. He knew it was a trap but still rushed forward without hesitation. I really don¡¯t know whether he was brave or fearless or extremely stupid. Maybe he fell into a trap and was like a moth to the flame.  ?

    "Order the Fourth Army on the left to advance behind us, and the troops on the right and the rearguard Fifth Army to advance on our right!" Lieutenant General Tosa said to the Chief of Staff, with too much helplessness and sadness in his tone.

    At the headquarters of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, Sun Zhenbang communicated with Yuan Jinghao, the commander of the North China Field Corps, "Commander Yuan, have the little devils in that direction of your corps done anything unusual?" he asked very leisurely.

    "Commander Sun, the Japs seem to be aware of our intentions and have deployed a lot of troops in the rearguard. However, the main force is still heading towards the Qilaotu Mountain and Nuruer Hushan Mountains. According to the orders of the division commander, our corps has not yet  Do it!" Yuan Jinghao said loudly.

    "Hahaha!" Sun Zhenbang laughed, "Commander Yuan, the situation here is similar. Even if the little devil knows, let's prepare a big bag for him in front. These bastards can't turn back now. Now the little devil knows  The enemy is using his hands to grind his eyes, he has to turn even if he doesn't turn! The division commander's move is very clever. It is indeed much more advantageous to annihilate the enemy in the mountainous area than in the original encirclement!"

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Finally, a series of explosions broke the tranquility of the night, and in the direction of the march of the advance guard of the Third Army, there were bursts of fire. "Huh? Are you finally here?" Tosa Naka  Jiang turned his suspicious eyes. He didn't understand that if the vanguard troops entered the trap of the independent division, then the trap would appear to be very superficial. At least, they should continue to go deeper into the hinterland of the mountainous area?

    "Report to the commander, the 135th Division of the Vanguard reported that the troops have encountered a minefield and are currently clearing the mines!" the combat staff quickly ran over to report.

    "Minefield!" Lieutenant General Tosa muttered to himself, "Why is there a minefield? Moreover, the vanguard troops have just entered the mountainous area. Everything is inconsistent with the rules. Could it be that the independent division troops setting traps in the mountainous area ahead  , there are not many troops, so we need to rely on minefields to slow down the march of the troops, so that the commander can mobilize more troops and buy enough time? "

    Lieutenant General Tosa's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of this possibility, but he couldn't believe it. If this was really the case, then the commander of the independent division on the battlefield in Western Manchuria was definitely not a qualified general, "No! No.  ! Cunning Chinese people will never make such a clumsy mistake!" Then he denied his judgment. After being surrounded for more than ten days, there was no chance of any luck.

    At about five o'clock in the morning, more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers in the Western Manchuria area finally entered the Qilaotu Mountain and Nuruer Hushan Mountains. Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao, who received the report, immediately reported to the various forces following the Kwantung Army.  The troops issued an order to attack, "Each brigade immediately used the most ferocious actions to annihilate the rearguard Kwantung Army troops, and then blocked their retreat and completed the final encirclement!"

    In the early morning of this ordinary day, it was finally no longer quiet. The battle first started in front of the southern blocking force position. When countless Kwantung Army soldiers appeared in front of the soldiers along several ravines, it meant that in the  In the Qilaotu Mountain and Nuruer Hushan Mountains, the big bags prepared for the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria were tied up tightly!

    Countless heavy artillery shells, with tail flames brighter than the dawn, roared in and smashed into the marching columns of the Kwantung Army soldiers. The ground shook with the sound of explosions, and balls of fire flashed out.  , in the firelight, the bodies of Kwantung Army soldiers were flying around, stirring the silent mountainous area into a boil.

    The blocking troops all chose the same fighting method, using fierce artillery fire to create insurmountable obstacles.After crossing the wall of fire, when the first round of artillery shells exploded among the soldiers, Lieutenant General Tosa sent a very short telegram to the commander-in-chief, General Nanjiro, "The staff reported that we have penetrated into the independent division."  in your pocket!¡±
