Chapter 677: Preparing to Retreat


When Sugiyama Motoshi was racking his brains thinking about how to deal with these dirt eight roads that gave him a headache, Yamashita Fengwen, who had just left, suddenly came back and said to Sugiyama Moto: "Your Excellency Commander, I just received news that the imperial army in Baoding went to support Dingzhou, and encountered the stubborn resistance of the people of China about twenty miles away from the station. ”"This group of cunning Zhina people on Baga Road is really hateful, and I order the front-line troops to break through the resistance of the Zhina people as soon as possible and quickly support Dingzhou Station."

Sugiyama said angrily."

Your Excellency Commander, at present, most of the main forces of the imperial army have been transferred to the front line in central Hebei, and there are not many imperial troops in Baoding, and there is only one brigade of troops supporting Dingzhou Station, so I am afraid it will be difficult to break through the defense line of the people in China in a short time."

Yamashita explained with a look of embarrassment."

Isn't the strength of Nani's brigade still small, with the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, a brigade of imperial troops is fully capable of defeating a division of the Shina people, can't it defeat a group of rabble of Dohachilu" Sugiyama asked loudly with an angry face."

Your Excellency Commander Hai is angry, and he will go and deliver orders."

Where did Yamashita Fengwen dare to say anything, and hurriedly turned around and walked out.In the temporary headquarters of the Anguo Independent Regiment near Dingzhou Station, Li Guotao and Chang De were gathering together to discuss something.At this time, Ma Zhenguo walked in with an excited face, and said with a smile: "I just received the news sent by Commander Meng, at present, most of my main force has crossed the Pinghan Railway, and according to the latest news, the 133 Brigade of the Japanese Army has also suddenly turned to the direction of Dingzhou, our strategic goals have been achieved, and Commander Meng ordered our department to prepare to retreat to western Hebei." ”"It's really good, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for our army, and it's time to retreat."

Changde smiled and nodded and said.Li Guotao nodded, and then asked with a serious face: "How is the situation on the side of the first battalion?"

"The Japanese army on the Baoding side sent a large group of troops to support the Dingzhou station, and they have already exchanged fire with the first battalion.With the combat effectiveness of a battalion, there is no problem in blocking this brigade of little devils, but I am afraid it will be a little troublesome if you want to get out of the whole body. ”Ma Zhenguo said with a frown."

Didn't the second battalion already go to pick it up, so it shouldn't be a problem to retreat like this."

Li Guotao said casually."

Well, it shouldn't be a big problem for the second battalion to go to pick it up, but if the little devil chases after him, it will be troublesome."

Ma Zhenguo said worriedly."

Hmph, then find a way to get rid of them, if you really can't get rid of them, Lao Tzu doesn't mind teaching them a good lesson, just a big team of little devils still want to leave our independent regiment can't succeed" Li Guotao said indifferently."

Well, that being the case.Let's hurry up and prepare to retreat," Ma Zhenguo hurriedly said."

Then trouble our chief of staff, let's go and arrange it quickly," Li Guotao said with a smile."

That's good.I'll arrange it. ”Ma Zhenguo answered, turned around and walked out.Ma Zhenguo had just walked to the door, and a violent motor roar suddenly sounded in the sky, Ma Zhenguo couldn't help but change his face greatly, and shouted to the soldiers outside: "The little devil's plane is here again, notify everyone to do a good job of air defense" "Yes" The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army responded, and immediately scattered and shouted loudly while running, reminding the soldiers to prepare for air defense.Li Guotao and Changde also ran out when they heard the movement outside.The tent of the regimental headquarters was set up in a small forest, and it was camouflaged in advance, so it was difficult for the pilots of the devils to find it on it.But even so, it's hard to guarantee that the little devil won't tentatively throw a few bombs in, and if an aerial bomb happens to fall here, it will inevitably be too unjust.Li Guotao, Chang De, and Ma Zhenguo glanced at each other.Ran towards a trench next to them, due to the rush of time, it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to build an air-raid shelter, so they could only dig some trenches for air defense, and several people ran into the trench in one breath and honestly lay inside."

Boom" by this time the bomb has already fallen.In the distance, there was a loud explosion.Changde lay in the trench and couldn't help complaining: "His grandmother's, these devils' planes came quite quickly, and they ran twice in less than half a day." ”"Fortunately, we prepared in advance, and the fighters were scattered, so that at least the losses could be minimized."

Ma Zhenguo said with a happy face.Li Guotao is not too worried, the materials in the station have been almost moved, and the soldiers have been prepared in advance.Although casualties are inevitable under such a large-scale air raid, there is no way to do it, what they can do now is to try to reduce casualties, and the rest can only be left to fate.However, Li Guotao has always been thinking about how to deal with the little devil's plane, and a sneak attack on the airport is undoubtedly a way.But the airport is such an important target, the little devil is heavily defended, and there is a chance to succeed in an occasional sneak attack, but once the little devil suffers a loss and strengthens his vigilance, this opportunity will undoubtedly become even more slim.Since there are not many opportunities to sneak up on the airfield, there is only one way to deal with these planes, to knock him down with anti-aircraft weapons.However, given the current situation of the Eighth Route Army, there is simply no way to get air defense weapons, and it is even more impossible to produce them themselves.However, now the arsenal of the Fourth Army Division has begun to develop machine guns, and if it can produce anti-aircraft machine guns, although it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, at least in the face of devil planes, it will not be like now, without the power to fight back, it seems that this matter should be done quickly, Li Guotao couldn't help but secretly made up his mind, and planned to urge the arsenal to develop antiaircraft machine guns after the end of this sweep, so as to deal with the planes of the little devils.Speaking of the arsenal, after the devil's sweep began, the arsenal was temporarily forced to stop production, all the equipment was hidden, and the personnel had retreated to a safe place, although the Anguo Independent Regiment temporarily left Anguo, so Li Guotao was not worried about the safety of the arsenal.The little devil's plane wreaked havoc near Dingzhou Station, and Dingzhou Station, which had been battered by the war, became even more unrecognizable, and the thick smoke rose into the sky, and the devil's plane shook its wings and flew away satisfied.aa2705221:
