For Anio Suzuki, whether the headquarters of the 27th Division can send troops to rescue is a matter of life and death.
Just as Suzuki Anio was worried and worried, a Japanese soldier ran up to the former almost as if he was stumbling and reported: "Report... report to the commander of the company, the Chinese Army is about to attack again. Come up!"
After hearing this, Suzuki Anzuo couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "It seems that today is the moment when all the troops of my third regiment will be shattered here."
But Suzuki Anxiong sighed, he still went to do his work. For example, he had already taken out the dog skin plaster bandana specially wrapped around the head, and then wrapped it around his head.
"Here are the warriors of the empire, the time for the duel has come! All of them! Charge with me!!" Shouting, Suzuki Anzuo pulled out the katana from his waist with a very fierce expression.
Under the leadership of Anio Suzuki, the Japanese soldiers who were trapped on the top of the mountain and prepared to resist suddenly shouted excitedly and took out their dog-skin plaster bandanas that they prepared to give themselves as an honor for the final battle.
After all his subordinates were ready, Anio Suzuki finally waved his raised katana: "Oh no!! Charge!!"
Following the order from the commander Anio Suzuki, all the Japanese soldiers who were prepared to resist stubbornly rushed out of the trenches. They wanted to bring their so-called samurai spirit to die!
More intense gunshots resounded on Qilin Peak.
The result is very obvious. The Japanese army, which was already at a disadvantage, could not be an opponent of the long-awaited national army. They were quickly annihilated by the powerful offensive of the national army.
…
Fifteen minutes later, the division headquarters of the Japanese 27th Division.
"Report to Staff Yoshino! Contact with the headquarters of the Third Regiment has been lost for fifteen minutes! Do you want to report to the division commander? Please give instructions!" A communications soldier ran to his commander and reported.
"It's been fifteen minutes..." Staff Officer Yoshino, who was not tall, pondered for a while, "You continue to contact the third regiment headquarters! Be sure to contact them! I will report this situation to the division commander immediately! "
"Hai!" the communications soldier responded, and then ran back to his job.
Staff Officer Yoshino has already guessed that the situation of the Third Regiment is probably not good - how long has it been since the reinforcements were sent out, and this is already the result? Obviously, the situation is already in danger.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Suzuki Anio's third regiment has been out of contact for fifteen minutes. Do you want the reinforcements to continue moving forward?" This was the first sentence of Staff Officer Yoshino after seeing Masaharu Honma.
"Fifteen minutes out of contact?!" Masaharu Honma's eyes widened.
"Yes, please give me your instructions, sir, what should we do?!" Staff Officer Yoshino said decisively.
"We can't just give up Suzuki-kun! Order the troops to speed up. If we still can't contact the Suzuki Regiment after fifteen minutes, then our reinforcements will be withdrawn immediately!" This was a decision made by Honma Masaharu in an instant. On the one hand, he did not want the Suzuki Regiment to be wiped out; on the other hand, he did not want the reinforcements to fall into the trap of the Chinese army.
From beginning to end, Honma Masaharu was not optimistic about this combat operation of Lieutenant General Okamura Neiji - he believed that this operation was definitely a stupid move, and he wanted to open up the entire southern front at the expense of the 27th Division. battlefield!
"Hai!" Staff Officer Yoshino responded.
After Staff Officer Yoshino left, Masaharu Honma began to study the next military move.
"Watanabe-kun...it seems that there are not many roads left for our 27th Division..." Masaharu Honma sighed.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, actually, there is something I have always wanted to say, but it is indeed a bit treasonous to say it. I wonder if Your Excellency, Division Commander, is willing to listen to what I have to say?" Although Colonel Watanabe was a little hesitant, Finally he said it.
"But it doesn't matter!" Masaharu Honma looked very serious. He knew that Watanabe would not make the mistake without aim.
Chief of Staff Watanabe gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I believe that Commander Okamura Neiji may have made a foolish move, but we cannot follow them. If we blindly follow them, our The end result will be that everyone will be shattered!"
"I have had this idea before, but if we leave now, it would be disobedience. Think of our wives and children on the mainland!" Masaharu Honma sighed, with a frown between his brows.
"In this case, why don't we make plans for the next step?" Watanabe was already risking his life at this moment. He had to get an answer from the division commander.
"What's your next plan?" Masaharu Honma asked subconsciously.
"Yo Xi." Colonel Watanabe nodded, then walked to the map, looked at Masaharu Honma and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, please see, our surroundings are already covered with Chinese troops. You don't have to think about it. We have already It has become a entangled situation. Now the 106th Division of Lieutenant General Matsuura Junrokuro has joined with a regiment of the 101st Division to carry out emergency rescue for us. If we want to withdraw at this moment, we may encounter big trouble. , but if we wait until the troops of the Matsuura Division Commander arrive, the result will be different..."
Watanabe's words are very profound, and it can be said that he only said half of what he said, but from Watanabe's point of view, it can be said that he can explain it clearly in just one sentence.
"Watanabe-kun, it's too early to speak at this time." Masaharu Honma hesitated. He always believed that cheating teammates was immoral.
"It's getting late, my division commander, if we are not prepared now, then we will face the tragic situation of annihilation of the entire army." Colonel Watanabe analyzed, "If we really want to protect ourselves, we must Make defensive preparations now and wait for the fighter planes to appear before breaking through!"
After hearing this, Masaharu Honma felt her heart skip a beat: This is such a tempting idea!
Why is it tempting? Isn't that a good thing if a dead Taoist friend is not dead but a poor Taoist? Besides, the 27th Division is a three-unit division, and it was adapted from the garrison troops. Compared with the 106th Division, which exists like the main force in the field, it is very different.
More importantly, Masaharu Honma also felt from the bottom of her heart that in this operation of the 27th Division, the 106th Division was originally supposed to be an auxiliary, so why did the auxiliary suddenly become an auxiliary? Have you become the main attacker? That would kill people...
Ever since, just like this, even Honma Masaharu himself didn't notice, he was slowly shaken...
After thinking for a while, Masaharu Honma finally ordered the troops to stop attacking Baishui Street out of self-interest. The troops began to gather up and defend on the spot, waiting for reinforcements to rescue them.
On the other hand, Masaharu Honma urgently withdrew the troops originally used to reinforce the third regiment, and at the same time ordered these troops to also join in defensive preparations.
For a time, there was a brief silence on the battlefield on Whitewater Street west of De'an.
Why is it said to be short-lived? Because no one knows when the fighting will start again.
But what is certain is that when the battle starts again, it will be particularly fierce!
