Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2956 The Fujino Regiment is completely wiped out!

Captain Fujino rested his hands on the table where the map was laid out, his body trembling slightly.

He stared blankly ahead, muttering to himself, "Without ammunition, how can we hold out? This battle is unwinnable. If we continue to hold out, everyone will die here."

After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes, and shouted to the other officers in the tent, "Pass on my order: abandon the nameless peak and break out!"

These words immediately caused an uproar inside the tent. A Japanese officer stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, and said, "Sir, please think it over! We are already surrounded by the enemy. If we rashly break out, we may be wiped out!"

Regimental Commander Fujino glared angrily and shouted, "Baka! Are we just going to wait here to die instead of breaking out? We've run out of ammunition, what are we going to use to fight the enemy? This is the only way out right now. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be court-martialed!"

Seeing that Regiment Commander Fujino was resolute, the officers dared not say anything more and went to carry out their orders.

Soon, the order to break out spread throughout the entire Japanese position.

The Japanese soldiers were already in a state of panic because of the explosion at the armory. When they heard the order to break out, they were overjoyed, and some of them didn't even bother to grab their weapons before rushing down the mountain with the crowd.

Duanwu saw from afar that the Japanese soldiers had indeed broken through the encirclement, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. Because at this moment, the Japanese soldiers had already fallen into the trap.

The attack was carried out by the Black-Clad Troops, while Chunjiang's First and Second Teams had already been lying in ambush on the Japanese troops' breakout route to the east.

At this point, the Japanese soldiers were in a panic and didn't know what to do. It was nighttime, and they didn't notice anything after entering the ambush area of ​​Chunjiang Team One and Two.

So, just as the Japanese soldiers, like headless flies, plunged headlong into the ambush of Chunjiang's First and Second Teams, they received a baptism of justice without any warning.

Machine gun bullets and submachine gun bullets formed barrages, shredding the Japanese soldiers who entered.

The Japanese soldiers were terrified, but by then they couldn't stop. Stopping meant certain death.

Moreover, even if the Japanese soldiers in front wanted to stop, the Japanese soldiers behind wouldn't allow it; they would push the Japanese soldiers in front over and step over them.

Therefore, Captain Fujino did indeed make the worst decision.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers had no will to fight and instinctively rushed down the mountain, falling one by one in the hail of bullets like a whirlwind.

Seeing this, Captain Fujino murmured despairingly to himself, "It's over, it's all over now..."

At this moment, Fujino regretted not listening to the advice of the other Japanese officers.

But by then, it was too late to turn the tide, and he could only order the communications officer to immediately send a telegram to General Maruyama:

"General Maruyama, I, Fujino, am sending this message with a heavy heart."

Our unit suffered heavy losses at the Unnamed Peak, our ammunition depot was destroyed, and we ran out of ammunition and food.

In a desperate attempt to find a way out, I rashly ordered a breakout, only to fall into an enemy trap.

The enemy's firepower was fierce. Although our soldiers fought bravely, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and they suffered heavy casualties.

Now, our troops are in dire straits, surrounded by gunfire and bullets, and our soldiers are falling one after another, their blood staining the mountains and rivers.

I know that the outcome of this battle is inevitable and there is no way to reverse it. It is my fault for poor command and I have failed the trust of the general and the cultivation of His Majesty the Emperor.

General, I am willing to die to atone for my sins, but I only hope that you will take this as a warning and never repeat my mistakes.

Although my soldiers have died, the spirit of the empire lives on. I hope that you, General, can lead the remaining comrades to continue fighting for the glory of the empire until final victory is achieved.

"Fujino's last words." After sending the telegram, Regiment Commander Fujino slowly drew his sword and led his dozens of guards into the endless hail of bullets.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Imperial Japanese Army!"

Captain Fujino let out a final roar before crashing to the ground like a dead dog, his eyes wide open, blood gushing out in mouthfuls.

···········
Meanwhile, General Maruyama was dozing off when a communications soldier rushed in, his voice trembling, and reported, "Your Excellency, something terrible has happened! The Fujino Alliance may be completely annihilated!"

"Nani?"

General Maruyama, who had just regained consciousness, was shocked. He snatched the telegram and read it quickly.

Maruyama's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his body swayed involuntarily. His eyes widened, his face filled with shock and disbelief, and he muttered, "This... how is this possible? How could the Fujino Regiment be wiped out so easily?"

As Maruyama read on, his eyes gradually filled with rage: "Baka! Fujino, that idiot, acted so recklessly, burying the elite of my regiment!"

The communications soldier was so frightened by the sudden roar that he fell silent, immediately lowered his head, and dared not utter a sound.

However, Maruyama seemed to have developed an immunity after experiencing multiple psychological blows.

He quickly regained his composure.

He considered his current situation. If the Fujino Regiment was completely wiped out, the Anti-Japanese Brigade would probably come after him.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to avoid being entangled with the anti-Japanese brigade again.

Thinking of this, he loudly ordered: "Pass on my order, all troops must immediately abandon the Hukou outpost, retreat across the entire line, and return to Chuncheng for rest and reorganization!"

An officer asked cautiously, "General, if we retreat now, won't the enemy take advantage of the situation to pursue us and cause even greater casualties?"

General Maruyama glared at the other man and said coldly, "The complete annihilation of the Fujino Regiment only proves one thing: our enemy has used their main force against the Fujino Regiment. Therefore, leaving immediately is the right thing to do, otherwise we will really be caught up by the enemy. Execute the order immediately, without fail!"

"Hi!"

The Japanese officer dared not raise any further objections and turned to go with the communications soldier to relay the order.

Soon, the entire Second Division received the order to retreat. The soldiers quickly packed their belongings and, under the command of the Japanese officers, began to evacuate the checkpoints in an orderly manner.

General Maruyama stood in the center of the camp, watching the busy soldiers, his heart filled with mixed emotions. In this battle, he had achieved nothing, and his troops had suffered heavy casualties.

He didn't know what kind of punishment, or ridicule, he would face when he returned this time.

Moreover, Kujo Miyamoto, in particular, wore a schadenfreude expression when Maruyama left.

At the time, Maruyama ignored the other party, believing that he would prove Kujo Miyamoto wrong with facts.

However, the result was that he was proven wrong.

The thought of being ridiculed or mocked by Kujo Miyamoto made Maruyama feel uncomfortable.

However, Maruyama was not someone who couldn't accept defeat. At worst, he would face a military court, be dismissed from his post as commander of the Second Division, and eventually be sent back to his hometown to farm.

But he had a clear conscience; at least in this battle, Maruyama had done his best.

He felt he had not let down any of his soldiers. And it wasn't that he, Maruyama, was too weak, but rather that his opponents were too strong!
