In the dark night, Japanese troops lined up in three rows filed past neatly from the front. The 83rd Army hidden on both sides of the haystack really wanted to shoot them twice.
However, the commander had the order, so he did not open fire to fight back.
"No (no), I don't think we can let this group of bastards go like this (I don't think we can let these bastards go like this)." Deng Longguang murmured in Cantonese.
The Japanese army's march was fast or slow, and it was all over in about ten minutes.
"Military seat, these little Japanese don't seem to be carrying heavy weapons." Chen Wenfu said softly to Deng Longguang on the side.
"It seems that these little Japanese received the order very urgently. They rushed forward without even carrying heavy weapons. That's just right. We can replace our brothers with Japanese weapons and equipment." said Then, Deng Longguang smiled softly, as if he had found a big deal.
After being brought to the Japanese army, Deng Longguang immediately called Wu Jianxiong, the commander of the 154th Division.
"Chief Wizard, how many people are there in your department?" Deng Longguang asked.
"Reporting to the military, our 154th Division still has 2,243 people!" Wu Jianxiong reported.
After hearing the news, Deng Longguang nodded gently and said, "Okay, let's do this. You take the 154th Division and follow the Japanese army north immediately. If something happens, you can adapt accordingly!"
"What about you? Military seat." Wu Jianxiong asked.
"Now that the Japanese army has mobilized such a large number of troops to go north, it is very likely that Wuhu will be left empty. As the saying goes, troops are very fast. I immediately led the troops directly under the army and the 156th Division to go south to Wuhu and take advantage of it. Don't be prepared, let's see if we can recapture Wuhu!" Deng Longguang's voice can be said to be resounding. This is not the first time he has done this kind of surprise attack on the enemy. He also did this often during the Northern Expedition.
"Military Commander, do you think this Japanese army coming north is not aimed at us, right?" Wu Jianxiong asked.
"Yes, after our unit broke through from Guanghuamen to Chunhua Town, we went south along the Jiangnan Railway. Apart from that, there was no intense exchange of fire with the Japanese troops on other fronts. The current strength of the Japanese army is mainly Concentrated in Nanjing. Now even the Japanese troops in the direction of Wuhu and Dangtu have been alerted. There must be friendly forces behind us to create a big trap." Deng Longguang analyzed calmly.
"Then, military officer, do you mean to ask our division to cooperate with this friendly force?" Wu Jianxiong asked. The commander's intention must be understood, otherwise it will be in vain if the execution is not in place.
"Yes. The Japanese army is our enemy and must be fought. But the fight cannot be in vain..." Deng Longguang said meaningfully.
"I understand my humble position. After this battle, our division will all be equipped with Japanese weapons!" Wu Jianxiong certainly understood what the military commander meant.
There is not much ammunition in the army now, and many of the weapons are of various types, and some are even old ones made in Hanyang. Except for some of the Japanese 38 caps that were captured on the battlefield, other weapons are relatively old.
"Well, it's good to understand. Besides, there are only so many people left in your 154th Division now. We need to fight at the right time. A unit that can create such a cloud of smoke after we break through is definitely not a good one. The main force of the Japanese army Wait until they come to carry it. We will reinforce if we can. Don't act before the fighter plane arrives!" Deng Longguang once again told Wu Jianxiong that he gave the combat order this time. He must be responsible for the 154th Division, but he can't The entire 154th Division was buried here.
"Yes, military seat!" Wu Jianxiong stood at attention and responded, then followed the Japanese army with the remaining two thousand people of the 154th Division.
…
"Captain Zhang, our tank company is running low on oil now." Zhao Huzhen ran over and reported to Zhang Tianhai.
As soon as he heard the news, Zhang Tianhai's head was pounding. He was thinking about it, but why didn't he think of this?
"Is the oil seized in Chunhua Town gone?" Zhang Tianhai asked casually.
"Yes, but we can only run thirty or forty kilometers at most." Zhao Huzhen reported truthfully. After all, there is no way to get fuel with just the few people in the chariot company, so we can only rely on the large army to find a solution.
"Well, you take a rest first and I'll think of a solution." Zhang Tianhai waved his hands and said, "By the way, according to our traveling speed, we have probably reached Dangtu County now, right?"
"Well, that's good. Even if we haven't arrived yet, it's not far away." Zhao Huzhen nodded.
"Okay, in that case, we can only find a solution from Dangtu County." Zhang Tianhai responded casually, but his mind had already drifted to other places.
For Zhang Tianhai, he knew that a lot of fuel was needed to support the tank troops, but he didn't expect that he would run out of fuel before they were out of the Japanese encirclement. What to do? Do you really take your ideas from the Japanese troops in Dangtu?
This is the first time Zhang Tianhai has experienced the difficulty of being the leader. In the past, whether he was in the Marine Corps Brigade in his previous life or in the Thirty-sixth Division in this life, he never had to think about these things. There were special military supplies. The department is responsible for supply.
"That humble post is waiting for good news from Commander Zhang!" Zhao Huzhen said with a military salute.
In this regard, Zhang Tianhai did not say anything and just nodded lightly - do you really want to give up the tank company? Impossible, this thing is so precious. If used properly, it can support an entire camp.
…
Then switch to the Japanese army Takahashi Masatake's troops who first entered the Jiangnan Railway (i.e., the Beijing-Wuzhou Railway).
After serving as the commander of the westward detachment, Takahashi Masatake was extremely depressed. He had been chasing along this railway for a long time and still found nothing. After all, there were no Air Force aircraft to cooperate with them.
Even if there were spare fighter aircraft, they were transferred to the pursuit troops on the southern front by the Ogisu Rihei to cooperate in the battle.
"Takahashi-kun, do you still stubbornly believe that the China Army will move in this direction?" Sakata Yuzo walked to Takahashi Masaru and asked.
Speaking of this issue, Takahashi Masaru was really unsure. He was not sure that a large force was really fleeing in this direction. He was just relying on his intuition.
"Sakata-kun, it's a pity that we don't have the cooperation of combat aircraft. If we had the cooperation of combat aircraft, I think we would be able to find traces of the enemy soon." At this time, Takahashi Masatake was no longer as arrogant as usual, and he kept saying Under the blow, it would be a lie to say that I didn't feel guilty.
This Chinese army is as cunning as a fox. It disappears after the battle. Moreover, the troops under its command are also brave men. If they are not careful, they may fall into their trap.
Therefore, the speed of the westward detachment's forward search was not very fast - just right, didn't there also be a regiment of the 18th Division heading north? If they fight, they won't be able to hold on for even a day, right?
"Takahashi-kun, I can understand the pressure you are feeling now. Our Thirteenth Regiment has also suffered a big loss at the hands of this Chinese army. Just go slower. Although the Imperial Warriors are not afraid, they cannot die in vain!" Sakata Yong San said firmly.
