After Ushijima Sadao calmed down, the division chief of staff, Colonel Samaki Yuki, walked in and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, I know that you are in a bad mood, but the 124th Regiment always There should be a place to go and a focus.”
"Mr. Shenmu is right, the 124th Regiment is a relatively safe place where it should retreat. According to you, Mr. Shenmu, where should the 124th Regiment retreat to?" Calm down. Ushijima Sadao asked in return.
"Division commander, please come here!" Sanmu Xing walked to the military map and picked up the baton.
Ushijima Sadao stood up from his chair and followed Samaki Yuki to the huge military map of Nanjing in the division commander's office.
"Please see, Division Commander, it is about fifty kilometers from Dangtu to Wuhu. If it is a long-distance attack, it can reach the Wuhu City in two and a half hours. But these Chinese troops are absolutely exhausted after traveling a long distance. , even if they go all out, it will take at least four hours." Shen Muxing said seriously.
"Wow, wow (but), our Imperial Japanese Army still has a regiment of the Manchukuo Army in the Dangtu area. The 124th Regiment can wait for an opportunity to enter Dangtu County. After a short rest, they can return to defend Wuhu with all their strength. . In addition, we can appropriately reduce the strength of the defense line, for example, deploy relative strength in the Sanshan area, Bujiadian and Wuhu City to prevent the Chinese army from seizing the entire territory of Wuhu! I wonder what the division commander thinks?" Short stature The strong Samaki Yuki looked at Ushijima Sadao.
"Sanmu-kun's idea is very good. Wow, wouldn't it be better if the main force of our division is only concentrated in Wuhu City and Bujiadian?" Ushijima Sadao looked at Sanki Yuki.
Samaki thought for a while and said: "From a defensive point of view, the division commander's proposal is excellent, but if the Sanshan area, which serves as a barrier to Wuhu City, is lost, our division will be very passive. . Once the main force of the enemy army moves north from the direction of Tongling County, it will be able to remotely respond to the main force of the enemy force that breaks out from the direction of Dangtu. Once it attacks Wuhu City, the situation will be very critical..."
"Then according to Sanmu-kun, which troop is suitable to be placed in the Sanshan area?" Ushijima Sadao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I believe that it is appropriate to place the two main brigades of the 55th Regiment and the artillery regiment in the Sanshan area. In addition, the Manchukuo National Army also dispatched a regiment of troops to participate in the defense. With this configuration of troops, Even if we encounter the main force of the China Army, it will not be a problem to defend it for three or four days." Shen Muxing analyzed.
Ushijima Sadao nodded and said: "Yoshi, very good. I also want to hear your thoughts on the rest of the plan."
"The remaining 55th regiment and a Manchukuo regiment are responsible for defending Bujiadian. They are not allowed to move without authorization before receiving orders! As for Wuhu City, there is the main force of the 114th regiment. With the addition of the cavalry brigade, which is responsible for defense, whether there is a problem in Sanshan or Bujiadian, the cavalry brigade can rush to the rescue as quickly as possible!" Sanmu Xing drew a circle on the map with the baton in his hand, and his expression was very serious. said seriously.
"Wow, the 124th Regiment, together with the 3rd Regiment of the Manchukuo Army in Dangtu County, intercepted the Chinese Army that broke out along the way. We must do our best to weaken it! The humble battle plan is over ." Samaki Yuki stood at attention and lowered his head to Ushijima Sadao.
"Sanmu-kun's battle plan is perfect. If it is executed properly, it may not be impossible to annihilate the main force of the fleeing enemy force while guarding Wuhu!" Ushijima Sadao finally made a decision.
"Based on the information sent back by Fujita Shigenobu, we know that the battle took place 23 kilometers northeast of Dangtu County. Even if this enemy force had wings, it would be impossible for them to reach Dangtu County within an hour. Railway section." Ushijima Sadao analyzed. In his opinion, this Chinese army has been running for so long and is already a typical tired army. It has participated in such a fierce battle and it is absolutely impossible to move quickly. Came here.
"What does the division commander mean?" Sanmu Xing asked.
"Immediately, order the Third Regiment of the Manchukuo National Army to drive up the Dangtu County railway section. In addition, order Fujita Shigenobu to lead the 124th Regiment to the Dangtu County railway section as quickly as possible to support the headquarters of the Third Manchukuo National Army Regiment!" Ushijima Sadao finally made up his mind. In this battle, he must regain his place!
"Hai! The division commander is wise!" Shen Muxing responded while not forgetting to flatter him.
…
When the Japanese army took action, Zhang Tianhai was not so relaxed. Thousands of people had already been chased back.
In addition, personnel must be organized to help treat the wounds of the newly wounded, otherwise the follow-up will greatly affect the combat effectiveness, and minor injuries cannot be dragged into serious injuries.
What made things even worse for the two temporary military chiefs of the penetration regiment was that Chen Yuxiong, commander of the temporary third battalion, and Li Zuoliang, commander of the temporary fourth battalion, both died in the melee.
When the bodies of the two battalion commanders were found, they were still clutching a Sanba Gai with a bayonet in their hands.
Obviously, these two heroes died on the way to charge and fight.
"All of you, salute the fallen brothers!" Standing at the front of the team, Zhang Tianhai took the lead in saluting.
Soon, the scattered but neat soldiers all raised their right hands, including the wounded lying on simple stretchers.
The common people stood behind the team and looked silently at the rows of officers and soldiers of the penetration regiment in front of them, with a lot of admiration in their eyes.
"Rest on the spot for fifteen minutes, and then start again after fifteen minutes!" Zhang Tianhai ordered. Now the people in the penetration group only obey his orders. He is the backbone of this team!
"Captain, why don't you sleep a little longer? I'm here to watch." Zhou Fangjie said, everyone is exhausted if they work together, so it's better to change people and take a rest.
"Okay, then I'll rest for a while, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to make it this way." Zhang Tianhai nodded. Due to the return of more than 3,000 people, the entire team's rest time can only be extended. .
Why? The reason is that everyone can't walk, of course, including Zhang Tianhai.
…
Then switch the camera to Chuzhou City.
In the dark night, a very well-equipped and neatly organized unit drove into Chuzhou City under the cover of darkness.
As the only team that came out of Nanjing completely and with full strength, the combat effectiveness of the First Regiment directly under the Third War Zone has not been weakened at all - of course, the lack of a secret agent company is not that big. After all, it is the four infantry battalions that determine the combat effectiveness of a regiment.
Chief of Staff Guo Qiliang finally led this team to the city of Chuzhou. He will be stationed in this city for two days while waiting for news from the leader Zhang Tianhai.
Without Zhang Tianhai's team, to be honest, Guo Qiliang is really a bit weak here. Although he also has experience as a company platoon leader, he knows that when it comes to commanding such an elite unit, Zhang Tianhai's hand It is definitely stronger than in my own hand.
People are noble and self-aware. Obviously, Guo Qiliang knew this very clearly.
…
PS: Updates are coming! I'm afraid it'll be eleven o'clock in the evening.
