"To the south" Li Guotao couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The three Japanese troops are coming from the northeast, the west and the northeast, according to common sense, if we want to retreat, the south is indeed the best choice."
I think the little devils also want us to retreat south, and then they can drive us directly out of the Pingnan area and back to the Jizhong base area, so that their goal will be achieved.And how can we let them get their wish, the little devil wants us to retreat to the south, then we will not retreat to the south.But we're going to make the little devils think we're really retreating south. ”Chang De frowned slightly and said: "What tricks do you want to play, just say it" Li Guotao casually threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and said with a serious face: "If my guess is correct, the little devils will invade my base in a big way early tomorrow morning."
So we don't have much time, we have to transfer overnight tonight" The next morning, as soon as Nishimura Yuto finished breakfast, the adjutant hurriedly walked in and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Osa, the warriors of the imperial army have all been assembled according to the order of Your Excellency Osa, and they can set off at any time."
In addition, the Watanabe Brigade in Gu'an County and the Tengcun Brigade in Yongqing County are also ready, as long as His Excellency Dazuo gives an order, the Three Route Imperial Army can immediately set off and go straight to the mouth of the Shahe River. ”Just as Li Guotao expected, according to the plan of Nishimura Yuren, the Japanese troops on the three routes would set off early this morning, march in unison, and go straight to the mouth of the Shahe River.Because the little devil had already received the exact news, Li Guotao's headquarters was located at Shahekou, and the main forces under Li Guotao were all currently stationed near Shahekou."
Yo-sai," Nishimura nodded in satisfaction."
Your Excellency, in that case, will the imperial army set off immediately?"
asked the adjutant with a respectful expression.Nishimura shook his head and said; "Don't worry for the time being, Shahekou is only a few dozen miles away from Xincheng County, Gu'an County and Yongqing County, and with the marching speed of the imperial army, it is only half a day's journey, so we don't have to be in such a hurry.""
His Excellency Hai Dazuo seems to be waiting for something," the adjutant asked, looking puzzled.Nishimura just smiled slightly and didn't say anything, and after a while, a devil officer hurried over and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the army aviation has just sent a telegram that the army aviation has dispatched a reconnaissance plane to reconnaiter the area around the mouth of the river early this morning, and no trace of the main force of the Eighth Route Army has been found in the area of the mouth of the river.It is likely that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has already received the news in advance and retreated. ”"Yagaya Road" Nishimura Yuto frowned and scolded angrily: "These damn dirt eight roads are really cunning, they escaped so quickly.Did the army air say, where did the people flee?"
"Report to Your Excellency Osa, no.The army aviation said that the Eighth Route Army may have retreated overnight last night, and the army aviation is now making every effort to search for the whereabouts of this Eighth Route Army. ”The devil officer hurriedly replied."
Hmm" Nishimura nodded and said, "Inform the army aviation side, and report to me as soon as there is news." ”"Hai," the devil officer replied respectfully."
Slow" Nishimura Yuto suddenly stopped the devil officer who was about to leave, and asked with a serious face: "The scouts sent by the imperial army, has there been no news yet?"
”The devil officer replied with a respectful face.Nishimura Yuto frowned and waved his hand irritably, and the devil officer hurriedly retreated.At this time, the adjutant leaned over and asked cautiously: "Your Excellency Dazuo, since the people of China have escaped and their current whereabouts are unknown, do we want to change our plans?"
”Nishimura Yuto shook his head and said, "The original plan remains unchanged, immediately send orders to all troops, and set off immediately, aiming at the mouth of the Shahe River." ”"Your Excellency Dazuo, the people of China have fled from Shahekou, so what are we going to do at Shahekou" The adjutant asked with a puzzled expression."
Yaga" Nishimura Yongren scolded angrily, and said with an angry face: "Are you doubting my orders, the people have always been cunning, and the situation detected by the reconnaissance plane of the Army Aviation may not be true, you understand it" "Don't dare to be lowly and understand, and the lowly will go and convey the order." ”The adjutant replied respectfully, and quickly turned around and fled.Nishimura snorted coldly, picked up his beloved command knife, and strode out.Nishimura Yongren gave an order, and more than a thousand little devils left Xincheng County in a mighty way, all the way to the mouth of the Shahe River.When Nishimura Yuto led the little devil to the vicinity of Gaozhuang, Nishimura's armored car was suddenly stopped, the adjutant hurriedly opened the door, and Nishimura Yuto walked down from the armored car with his legs raised.At this time, a devil officer walked up and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, I just received a report from the imperial army scouts that Shahekou is indeed empty, not only the Eighth Route Army has retreated, but even the local people are not a single one, especially the Eighth Route Army has really fled." ”"Hmm" Nishimura nodded, Nishimura didn't feel the slightest surprise at this news, after all, now the Japanese army dispatched a wing of troops to clear the Eighth Route Army in the Pingnan area, and the Eighth Route Army knew that it could not resist, and it was normal to retreat."
Have you ever found traces of the Eighth Route Army?"
The devil officer replied with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the army aviation said that they found a force of the Eighth Route Army in the southern area of Baxian County, and its strength is at least a few hundred, and it should be one of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army.In addition, according to the news from the Baxian garrison, they found traces of the passage of a large army on a small road near Baxian, and judging from this, the main force of the Eighth Route Army should have fled south overnight last night. ”Nishimura Yuto frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Is there any situation on the side of the Watanabe Brigade and the Fujimura Brigade?"
”"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the above two brigades are currently advancing in the direction of Shahekou in accordance with the orders of Your Excellency Dazuo, and everything is normal at present."
The devil officer replied with a respectful face.Nishimura asked with a little surprise: "Everything is normal, haven't they been harassed and blocked by the Eighth Route Army, even those humble Eighth Route Army" "Report to Your Excellency Osa, I didn't receive the relevant report, it should be not" The devil officer replied with some uncertainty.Nishimura Yuto thought for a while, frowned and said, "In this way, those hateful Eighth Route Army really fled to the south. ”aa2705221:
