"Order! The First Battalion sets off to Yanggao County to annihilate Tubal Road and strengthen the mortar squadron to the First Battalion."
"Order! All strongholds must be defended with all their strength. No attacks are allowed, and no strongholds are allowed to be lost! Reinforcements will be here soon!"
Facing the map, Kuroi Daizuo thought for a long time before issuing the order.
What really made it difficult for him to make up his mind was who the enemy in front of him was. Although several places where he was attacked were reported to be the work of his old rival Jinsui Eighth Route Army, Kuroi Dazuo was still a little worried in his heart.
After all, Wucheng was lost so suddenly. As a neighbor, Kuroi Dazuo took the time to learn much more about the situation than the average kid Dazuo.
If Tubal Road from Wucheng comes across the district, things will be very difficult.
Thinking of this, Kuroi Daizuo thought over and over again and decided to send a message to the division commander Lieutenant General Xiangcheng who was hundreds of miles away to report the problems he encountered!
...
East of Jinyang.
Lieutenant General Xiangcheng Kenji received an urgent telegram from his laochao.
He called the chief of staff, Major General Ikki Komon, from his bed.
The two came to the combat command post and read the emergency telegram several times.
"Gumen-kun, what do you think of this matter? Is it possible that Tubalu will target our Yunzhong?" Xiangcheng Kenji said, tapping the table rhythmically with his hand.
"Xiangcheng-kun, there is still too little information, so it is difficult for us to draw conclusions." Ikki Gumon shook his head and said. "Although judging from the information reported by Mr. Heijing, it is most likely the work of Tubal Road in Jinsui. If so, we don't need to worry too much."
】
Xiangcheng Xianji nodded. They were old rivals. They had a thorough understanding of each other. Yunzhong had never stopped infiltrating the Jinsui Eighth Route Army.
"It's just that the nails we planted on Jinsui 8th Road did not issue any warning at all. I think this is a bit unusual." As the chief of staff, Ikki Gumon is his duty to summarize the intelligence work of the division. He is very It is clear that there have been no signs of transfers above the regimental level of the Jinsui Eighth Route Army recently.
"Jun Gumen, do you mean that this matter could have been done by other Tuballu?" Xiangcheng Xian'er's eyes flashed, "Is it the group of Tuballu in Wucheng?"
Kenji Xiangcheng turned his eyes to the map and stared in the direction of Wucheng.
Ikki Gumon nodded slowly, "The Tubal Road in Wucheng is very powerful. The Locust Army suffered a big loss in their hands. Even the 11th independent mixed brigade was defeated. They also have the ability to attack us. Yang Gao."
Xiangcheng Xian's fingers trembled slightly.
What he is most worried about is the situation that Gumon Ikki mentioned. To be honest, he really doesn't pay attention to the Jinsui Eighth Route Army. If he puts a regiment in Yunzhong, Xiangcheng Kenji just bullies the Jinsui Eighth Route Army. The whole army is coming but they are helpless!
The Heijing Regiment, the two main defensive forces of the puppet army's 15th Brigade, has a combined strength of more than 6,000 troops. Relying on city defense, let alone the Tuba Road with 10,000 or 20,000 people, even the main force of the national army of 50,000 to 60,000 people can do nothing for a while. And once daylight comes, they can dispatch fighter planes to destroy the opponent's heavy firepower, and then launch a counterattack!
Even without air force support, relying on its heavy firepower, an artillery brigade, dozens of city defense guns and a number of bunkers constitute a cloud defense manifestation that cannot be easily shaken by ordinary enemies.
Under normal circumstances, Xiangcheng Kenji really wouldn't worry.
However, there have been many unusual situations this year. Not only did Shicheng reimburse a brigade, but a heavy artillery brigade was killed in a sneak attack in the central area, and Wucheng was lost inexplicably, and the entire army was independently mixed into the 11th brigade. Submerged, which thing can be inferred from normal circumstances?
There are too many evil things going on now.
"Gumen-kun, think about it, is there any way to confirm where the attacking Tubal Road troops come from?" Xiangcheng Kenji knocked on the table and said slowly.
"Send a team to counterattack and test the opponent's firepower to find out." Gumon Ikki blurted out.
His method is indeed a method, because no one can hide it at this time.
"円西円西, just do what you said, call back: order Heijing to send a brigade to counterattack, but once it is detected that the opponent's firepower exceeds the main force of the Jinsui Eighth Route Army, immediately return to Yunzhong and wait for reinforcements, and no longer rescue Yang Gao . Yang Gaobu can choose to retreat on his own." Xiangcheng Kenji quickly determined his thoughts.
...
Kuroi Daizuo did not expect that the division commander's thoughts would be so conservative. However, he was an obedient and good subordinate. He would carry out the division commander's orders without any compromise. He ordered the first brigade to attack to pay attention to detecting the enemy's firepower as the first priority. The most important thing is, once you confirm that the enemy is not a familiar old opponent, immediately retreat back to the cloud to avoid falling into the enemy's calculations.
Gao Jianwu didn't expect that the people within the 26th Division would be so afraid of what he did in Wucheng, so when Xing Zhiguo's troops raided the First Battalion, the captain of the First Battalion almost chose to escape without hesitation!
Xing Zhiguo:? ? ?
Gao Jianwu:? ? ?
Why did the little devil suddenly become so smart? He even learned to predict Gao Jianwu's predictions.
The little Japanese captain who escaped left a squadron with its tail cut off to survive, and passed the news to the 26th Division headquarters.
"Damn it, it really is Tuba Road over there in Wucheng." Xiangcheng Xianji received the new news, and his calm heart suddenly stirred up.
"Junmen Gumen, the enemy has been confirmed, how should we deal with it now?"
"There is no other way but to retreat and go back." Gumen Yihui suggested without hesitation. "If they have a large number of artillery on Tubal Road in Wucheng, they will already pose a serious threat to Yunzhong. However, we did not expect that they would dare to suddenly march westward to attack us during the period when the North China dispatch army has not yet decided. in the clouds!"
"Xiangcheng Jun, there are hundreds of artillery on Tubal Road in Wucheng. If they come in full force, Yunzhong will be in danger. In comparison, Yunzhong is far more important to them than Wucheng. Strategically Look, they won’t hesitate to trade Wucheng for Yunzhong.”
Komon Ikki's words obviously moved Kenji Kojo.
In fact, it's very simple. Troops from Tubal Road are now active around Yunzhong. Now the locust army only occupies larger county towns, and most of the villages are in the guerrilla zone of Tubal Road.
If you take down the cloud, then this piece will be connected, and it will not be easy to get it back.
Yunzhong City is too far away from the main forces of Pingjin and Tianjin. Only the Mongolian cavalry group and Jinyang are capable of launching an attack. But in this way, Jinyang and Suiyuan will be empty!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize reinforcements from these two places. If this happens, both the Mongolian army and the Jin area may collapse.
As a high-ranking member of the Little Devils, Kenji Kojo knew of course his true and falsehoods.
If Yunzhong really falls, the only solution is to mobilize a large army from the Kwantung Army to march westward to possibly take it back.
From an overall perspective, the losses of Wucheng and Yunzhong are also temporary. Although the little Japanese in North China are stretched thin at the moment, the Kwantung Army is still very powerful.
Of course Kenji Kojou also knew this. The fall of Yunzhong and Wucheng in the empire was just a pain, and he only needed to mobilize an army to take it out in three to five months.
But for Xiangcheng Kenji, the loss of Yunzhong is a disaster. The loss of city and land is second only to the annihilation of the entire army. Even a lieutenant general like Xiangcheng Kenji cannot afford it!
He must be a scapegoat thrown by the gangsters in Gangcun, and his whole life's future will be ruined here.
"If you choose to withdraw, how should we explain to Mr. Gangcun?" Xiangcheng Kenji has been shaken, but this decision is not so easy to make. You must know that the Mongolian Army is also under the North China Expedition Army Headquarters. He cannot do it without orders. retreat.
"We truthfully report the current threats to His Excellency Gangcun. With the lessons learned from the loss of Wucheng, Your Excellency Gangcun will agree to our withdrawal." Ikki Gumon suggested without hesitation.
Although doing so may make His Excellency Okamura dissatisfied, Kenji Kojo cannot leave his fate to God's will.
He had to save himself.
The two discussed for a long time before drafting a request report to withdraw troops. In the middle, they clearly described what was happening in Yunzhong, the results of the test and the results of the two people's deductions.
Reasonable and well-founded.
Withstand scrutiny.
It can be called the pinnacle of Kenji Kojo's report since he joined the army.
...
Gao Jianwu didn't eat the fat fish he caught. The little devil's defense prevented him from finding an opportunity to take advantage of it. He could only return to his teacher and knock down two nearby counties as a rest base, and then fired another wave of weapons. Gao Jianwu was not polite about ammunition, even in the county town.
At the same time, the airport and several fighter planes near Yunzhong were destroyed overnight.
Of course, considering the possible air raids by the Japs, Gao Jian divided his team into three parts and stationed them dispersedly, one part in the county, one part in the countryside, and one part in the mountains and forests.
Before the next battle, the three groups took turns to rest and recuperate to ensure that the main force would not be detected clearly by the Japs' spies.
Although the intelligence system has an early warning function, after the main forces are exposed, Gao Jianwu's follow-up plan will not be so easy to implement.
The Ping An Battle Group fought thousands of miles, getting stronger and stronger as they fought. They were accustomed to this hard life. The winning streak kept their morale at its peak. No one complained after Gao Jianwu's orders.
The capture of two county towns brought us back to full health in terms of ammunition replenishment.
Whether it was mountain artillery shells or mortar shells, Gao Jianwu was unreasonable and carried out another round of explosive replenishment, and he just accumulated the shells to 2 bases!
Therefore, when Li Yunlong came back with the Jinsui Eighth Route Liaison Officer and saw the mountains of weapons and ammunition in the Ping An cluster, he was a little dumbfounded.
Li Yunlong's promise to supplement and strengthen the understanding of the six main regiments of the Eighth Route of Jinsui immediately had an intuitive impact. There were more than 3,000 38 guns, 200 crooked machine guns, 40 heavy machine guns, and 40 92 infantry guns on site. Cannon and 90mm mortar, as well as matching ammunition!
It directly shocked the liaison officer's eyes.
In their opinion, these equipments can directly arm three new main groups!
When the liaison officer telegraphed the situation here to his headquarters, six main regiments of the Jinsui Eighth Route Army came at night!
Almost at the same time, Gao Jianwu received an intelligence tip that the 26th Division was heading north!
