The devil adjutant next to him saw that Sangmu Chongming gradually calmed down, and then he spoke: "Your Excellency General, the wind is strong on the city wall, you better go back to the headquarters to rest" Sangmu Chongming waved his hand and said: "How can I be in that mood, have the troops been cleaned up" "Report to Your Excellency General, the troops are ready." ”The adjutant said respectfully.Sang Mu Chongming nodded slightly and said: "When the 140th Wing rushes to Fuping after breaking through, let's retreat immediately, make peace with the 139th Wing, and order the 139th Wing again to speed up and rush to support." ”The adjutant of "Hai" replied respectfully, turned around and ordered someone to deliver the order.Sangmu Chongming was anxious at this time, only hoping that the 140 Wing could break out as soon as possible, although he was not in the mood to go back to the headquarters to rest, but he would not be stupid enough to stand on the city wall to blow the wind, and after standing for a while, he returned to the city gate tower to sit and wait for the rest of the 140 Wing, and the adjutant hurriedly ordered someone to make a pot of good tea for Sangmu Chongming, but the good tea, at this time, Sang Mu Chongming drank it with chewing wax.After nearly two hours of painful waiting, Sang Mu Chongming had already drunk three pots of tea, when a little devil ran in in a panic and said with an anxious face: "Your Excellency General, the 140th Wing has just sent a telegram. ”Sang Mu Chongming heard this, like a fire burning his buttocks, he jumped up directly from the chair, snatched the telegram in the little devil's hand, and looked at it carefully, when he read the above content, Sang Mu Chongming's face changed greatly, and he seemed to read it again in disbelief, and then he was sure of the content on the telegram, Sang Mu Chongming's whole person instantly fell into decadence, his hands hung down weakly, and the telegram also fell to the ground.The adjutant next to him hurriedly lowered his head and picked up the telegram on the ground, took a closer look, and said with a look of surprise: "Your Excellency, the defense line of the 140th Wing was broken through by the Chinese army, and the entire Wing suffered heavy losses.There were less than 400 people left surrounded by tens of thousands of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and the wing commander had already ordered the imperial army to fight to defend the dignity of the imperial army to the death.In this way, our current situation is also very bad, in case the first person takes advantage of the victory to attack Fuping County, with the strength of the imperial army in the county town, it will not be able to block the attack of the main force of Zhina.Therefore, I beg your Excellency, General.Immediately ordered a retreat. ”"Alright, don't talk about it."
Sang Mu Chongming shouted loudly.The adjutant's words were like sprinkling a handful of salt on Sangmu Chongming's wounds.It made Sangmu Chongming feel painful.Seeing that Sangmu Chongming was suddenly angry, the adjutant didn't dare to speak anymore, and bowed his head respectfully.After a while, Sangmu Chongming reacted, gritted his teeth and asked, "With the strength of the imperial army in Fuping County, if the Chinese army attacks on a large scale, how long can we resist." ”A Japanese soldier next to him replied with a frown: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the imperial army currently has only more than 300 people in Fuping County.Moreover, more than 100 of them are also logistics personnel of the division and regiment headquarters, and even if all these people participate in the battle, it will be impossible for us to block the large-scale attack of the Chinese people.Judging by the current situation, if the Chinese defeat the 140 Wing and then attack in a big way, we are afraid that we will be able to hold out until the early hours of the morning at most. ”Hearing this, Sang Mu Chongming closed his eyes in pain, and said in a lost voice: "That is to say."
We can't hold out until the 139th Wing arrives at Fuping anyway" "Yes" The devil Nakasa replied respectfully: "Unless the people of China don't attack Fuping, we won't be able to hold out until the 139th Wing arrives."
But for the sake of His Excellency's safety, we cannot take this risk. ”Sang Mu Chongming gritted his dog's teeth and creaked, until this moment the old devil was still unwilling to fail in his heart, gritted his teeth and asked: "If we retreat now, then we will make peace with the 139th Wing."
Do you think the imperial army can still fight with the Chinese army" The destruction of the 140th Wing is already inevitable, and Sangmu Chongming has no hope for this, but this old devil still thinks that after he will fight with the 139th Wing, he will find a way to move back to a city.The devil Nakasa frowned and thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not" "Nani why" Kuwamu Chongming asked loudly with a look of disbelief."
Your Excellency, General, at this time, the 139th Wing has suffered heavy losses after a series of battles.Even Matsukawa Daisa's jade was shattered, and the Nozawa Brigade and the Nomura Brigade were successively hit hard, and now it can be said that the strength has been damaged and the morale has been frustrated, which will definitely seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army.And since yesterday, the 139th Wing has been in the mountains for a day, and at night there was no time to rest, so they rushed to the rescue of Fuping overnight, but they did not expect to be blocked halfway, and experienced a big battle, the soldiers of the imperial army could not rest for a long time, and they must have been exhausted, that is to say, the current 139th Wing is just a tired division, and it is not suitable for a decisive battle with the main force of the Chinese Army at this time. ”The devil sighed helplessly.After hearing this, Sang Mu Chongming was stunned for a long time, then sighed deeply, and asked helplessly: "According to what you say, the imperial army can only retreat, is there no other way" The devil Zhongzuo shook his head and said: "The Chinese army is menacing this time, with the current situation of the imperial army, it is really not suitable to fight with them, and it is recommended that the imperial army temporarily return to Baoding, rest for a few days, and wait until the preparation is sufficient, and then find the Chinese army for a decisive battle." ”Sang Mu Chongming was silent, he was really unwilling to give up like this, if he failed again this time, it is estimated that his military career would be over, this sweep, repeated failures, the 110 Wing can be said to have lost more than half, this responsibility even if he is the commander of the lieutenant general division can not afford it, if it is a serious failure, it is not good to go to the military court, even if it is the best ending, I am afraid that he will be ordered to retire from active duty."
Your Excellency General, the situation is critical now, please make a decision as soon as possible."
That devil saw that Sangmu Chongming was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but open his mouth to urge.Sangmu Chongming sighed deeply again, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Pass the order, and the whole army will move in the direction of Fuping." ”"Your Excellency General Hai is wise," the devil Nakasa replied respectfully, and turned to deliver the order.The little devils had already prepared before, and after receiving the order, it didn't take long for more than 300 little devils in Fuping County to leave Fuping County and withdraw along the Baofu Highway in the direction of Baoding.aa2705221:
