On the night of the 15th, Commander Tang received a strict order from the attendant's office and did not dare to delay. He immediately ordered the group army's 44th Army, 67th Army, and 9 divisions directly under the Central Army to attack the Japanese Third Division with nearly 100,000 Central Army elites. violent attack;
Eight divisions from the 45th Army, the 94th Army, and the 85th Army also attacked the Third Division from the southeast.
The Japanese 3rd Division does not carry much food and ammunition, the military station line has been cut off, and the situation is critical;
The telegram sent by its 29th Brigade to the division for help said: "The enemy's will to fight is extremely strong. Judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to return safely. I hope to ask for reinforcements from a brigade."
The crisis on the northern front was quickly reported to the Eleventh Army Headquarters. The Japanese Army Headquarters was also brightly lit and telegraphed.
Especially the message sent by the Third Division made Enbe, Lieutenant General and Major General Aoki frown. They still underestimated the reaction of the national army. With a total of 17 divisions, no matter how arrogant the Japanese were, they would still fight twelve times. treated with distraction;
The Japanese also cannot afford the price of annihilating the Third Division, even if they exchange the Third Division for the Thirty-Third Army!
Qingmu didn't expect that the Chinese people were interested in Duizi!
"Your Excellency, Commander, there are three options to choose from."
Ever since Zhuge Liang made a bad start more than a thousand years ago, countless people have followed suit, and they all like to come up with top, middle, and bottom strategies to show off in front of their leaders!
It is popular among the upper-middle-class Japanese officers to read "Three Kingdoms", and Aoki, an old Japanese soldier, is no exception, and he likes this tune;
The same goes for Enbe and Lieutenant General. Seeing Major General Aoki playing tricks, he was naturally not to be outdone. He quickly got into the role and asked in a show-off manner:
"Appreciate further details!"
Major General Aoki continued:
"Your Excellency, Commander, first, order the Third Division to retreat alone. The Chinese encirclement has not yet been completely formed and it is easy to break through. This is the middle strategy;
The second is to stand firm and wait for reinforcements, using one division to carry 17 Chinese divisions for more than two days. When the war on the southern front is over, the main force will return for reinforcements. This is the next best thing! "
After Aoki finished speaking, he paused deliberately. Enbe and Lieutenant General were not angry. This is the tone of "Three Kingdoms". Now that you have decided to join the drama, you must cooperate well!
He thought he was no worse than the one who knitted straw sandals, so he asked very cooperatively:
"Aoki-kun, what is the best policy?"
The commander's cooperation greatly satisfied Aoki's vanity. He was satisfied with his addiction to showing off. How could a member of the Imperial Continent's Saber Team be inferior to a villager from China more than a thousand years ago?
“Your Excellency, Commander, the best strategy is to retreat, but it is not a simple retreat, but to use the tactic of leading the enemy to go deep, and lead the pursuers in the direction of the main force of the Imperial Army’s 13th Division and 39th Division;
After the main force has eliminated the enemies on the southern front, they will then choose a dangerous location and set up a pocket formation. The third division will lure the Chinese army in, annihilate one or more of them, and then pursue the victory and defeat the pursuers in one fell swoop. As long as these 17 troops are annihilated. With one division, the main force of the fifth theater will be completely lost, and the imperial army will attack across the board..."
Enbe and Lieutenant General couldn't help but said:
"Wonderful, wonderful!
Aoki-kun is really the reincarnation of Zhuge, and Kong Ming is reborn!
This is not only the best policy, it is simply the best policy. I have Mr. Aoki, so why worry about the fifth war zone not being destroyed? "
After Major General Aoki received the high praise from His Excellency the Commander, his face showed a look of dismay that could not be concealed. In his opinion, how could a village man from Zhuge compare with him?
Of course, if you want to think about it, you can't say it verbally, otherwise it will leave a bad impression in the commander's mind. He quickly said modestly:
"Your Excellency, Commander, you are overly complimentary. This is all thanks to your usual care. A horse with a thousand miles of wisdom is always there, but a bole is not always there;
Without the appreciation of the commander, there would be no use for Aoki! "
It's really a sedan chair that everyone carries. In terms of flattery skills, Aoki even dumped Zhuge Liang ten blocks because he would not be arrogant enough to let the commander look at the thatched cottage.
Enbe and Lieutenant General will not let Aoki alone take the lead. Now the situation is very clear, and Aoki's words are enough. What is left is to reflect his decision-making level as a commander. He is a bit pretentious. He nodded and said:
"Yo Xi, Aoki-kun, it seems that the winner of the battle lies on the southern front. We must encircle and annihilate the 33rd Group Army Headquarters as soon as possible!
As long as its headquarters is annihilated, the 33rd Army will lose its unified command. Under the fierce attack of more than 50,000 imperial troops from the 13th and 39th Divisions, it will be easy to defeat and annihilate the disorganized 33rd Army. Got it!
As long as the enemies on the southern front are annihilated, the rest will be easy..."
"Order the 13th Division, the 39th Division and the Ikeda Detachment to speed up the encirclement and annihilation of the 33rd Army Headquarters and other departments..."
"Order the Third Division to move to the southeast toward Caiyang, move closer to the main force on the southern front, and lure the enemy into pursuit..."
"Order the Third Flying Regiment to send fighter planes to support the southern battlefield and assist the Ikeda detachment in encircling and annihilating the 33rd Army Headquarters..."
"Order……"
As Enbe and Lieutenant General issue orders one after another, a big conspiracy planned by Major General Aoki is about to be implemented. For both warring parties, this is destined to be a sleepless night!
Time is extremely precious for both warring parties. Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting against each other, each relying on his own ability and his destiny...
No one expected that the arrival of an uninvited group of hundreds of people would make the battle situation even more complicated and confusing!
But when the balance is in a balanced position, even a small fly falling on one side may change the balance achieved by their hundreds of thousands of troops.
This was once a feat Yamamoto Kazuki had dreamed of accomplishing...
It's a pity that this time it has nothing to do with him, this is Chu Xiong's stage!
Also late at night on the 15th, on the southern front, the Tiger Special Forces led by Chu Xiong spent more than ten days advancing thousands of miles and reached the main battlefield of Caiyang, only more than 20 kilometers away from the Yicheng Pumpkin Shop.
A Japanese defense line blocked their way to the pumpkin shop. It was only a dozen hours before Commander Zhang died on the afternoon of the 16th!
Reinforcement is like putting out a fire, time is life. He must break through the Japanese defense line before dawn, arrive at the Pumpkin Shop before noon on the 16th to set up an ambush, find the right time to raid the Japanese, tear open the Japanese encirclement, and connect the 33rd Army General Headquarters. go out.
As long as General Zhang and the general headquarters are still there, the five divisions of the 33rd Group will not be in chaos. It will be difficult for the Japanese to easily annihilate these five divisions!
The outcome of the entire battle may change drastically. It depends on him and the "Tiger"!
The time has entered late at night, and there are still constant sounds of gunfire on all sides. Chu Xiong and the main force of the Tigers are still lurking, waiting for the Ma Dahu team to return from investigating the enemy's situation.
Almost all the elite Tiger Special Forces were dispatched, leaving only Shitou and a squadron to guard the base;
This is both an actual combat training and a special operations operation that breaks the balance of a battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops.
"Captain, Dahu and the others are back!"
Chu Xiong, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, opened his eyes and shot out, like a tiger king in the dark night!
