Watanabe Shaosa rode on his horse, looking at the team slowly moving north on the road, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about some important issue.At this moment, a little devil hurriedly ran over and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, Your Excellency the Wing Commander is in an emergency." ”As he spoke, he respectfully handed over a telegram.Watanabe Shaosa stretched out his hand to take the telegram, and immediately a little devil next to him took out a flashlight and shone it over, Watanabe Shaozo carefully read the content of the telegram, nodded slightly, and then handed the telegram to a devil officer next to him."
Your Excellency Shaozuo, what does the telegram from Your Excellency the Wing Commander say?"
the other devil officer asked with some impatience.Watanabe Shaozo said with a smile: "Your Excellency Wing Commander is worried that the Eighth Route Army's attack on Gu'an County is fake, and the siege of our Watanabe Brigade is real.Therefore, once again, we are reminded to be more careful, once we encounter the attack of the Eighth Route Army, we will hold on to the spot and wait for reinforcements, and try to hold back the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and wait for the main force of the Imperial Army to arrive, and then encircle and annihilate these hateful Dirt Eighth Route in one fell swoop. ”"Your Excellency Wing Commander is too careful, we have a whole brigade of troops, how dare those cowardly earth eight roads besiege us.If they really dare to come, we will defeat them in one fell swoop. ”The devil officer said with an arrogant expression."
Baga" Watanabe Shaozo couldn't help but scolded and said: "You idiot knows what the Eighth Route Army has always been very cunning, and our opponent this time is Li Guotao, if this guy is so easy to deal with, the North China Dispatch Army Command will not reward him Li Guotao's head."
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with being careful. ”"Hai Yi's humble words, Your Excellency Shao Zuo is angry."
The devil officer hurriedly said with a respectful face."
Hmph" Watanabe Shaozo snorted coldly, didn't pay attention to the little devil anymore, turned to a devil second lieutenant and asked: "What news is there from Gu'an County, has the Eighth Route Army launched an attack" "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, there is no news that the Eighth Route Army is attacking Gu'an County, the Eighth Route Army has only surrounded the county seat, and has not launched an attack yet." ”The devil lieutenant replied respectfully."
Yo Xi" Watanabe Shaozo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Your Excellency Dazuo is wise, it seems that Your Excellency Dazuo is not bad, those cunning Tubalu have no intention of attacking Gu'an County at all, they surround Gu'an County, just to lure the imperial army to come to the rescue, and then take the opportunity to ambush our Watanabe brigade, a good plan to encircle and help."
It's a pity, how could our Imperial Japanese Army fall for their tricks. ”"Your Excellency, what should we do now," the devil second lieutenant asked.Watanabe Shaosa thought for a while and then ordered: "Immediately send an order to the forward troops, strengthen their vigilance, and do not fall into the ambush of the Shina people, and notify the troops separately to slow down the march." ”"Your Excellency Hay Shaozo is wise."
Several of the surrounding devil officers responded in unison.The stronghold of the princess's mansion has become Li Guotao's temporary headquarters at this time.Li Guotao frowned and looked at the map in front of him, and asked casually: "Where is the Watanabe Brigade now?"
"According to the information received before, the Watanabe Brigade has just arrived near Peng Village. ”Changde pointed to the map and said."
Peng Village" Li Guotao's brows furrowed even deeper, turned around and looked outside the house, and said with a helpless sigh: "Now that the sky is dawning, how did the Watanabe brigade arrive in Peng Village, their speed is inevitably too slow" Chang De frowned and said: "According to our scouts, whether this little devil has realized something, he was cautious along the way, and the marching speed is getting slower and slower, for fear of being ambushed by our army." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded, smiled and said, "It seems that the little devil is afraid of our ambush, and he doesn't dare to march in a hurry at night."
Originally, I thought that I would first fight with this Watanabe brigade and test how many catties and taels this little devil has.But now that it's dawn, we don't have a chance.Immediately order the troops, retreat" "Where to retreat" Changde asked with a frown."
Retreat northwest along the Yongding River."
Li Guotao said without hesitation."
If you retreat to the north, and then go north, you won't be far from Beiping, is it possible that you want to attack Beiping," Chang De shook his head and said."
Don't be kidding, just rely on the strength of this regiment to attack Beiping, isn't that looking for death," Li Guotao said with a wry smile."
You're just a madman, you can't do anything," Changde said with a roll of his eyes.Li Guotao shook his head with a smile and said: "Okay, don't talk this nonsense, hurry up and order the troops to retreat, if it's too late, if you let the little devil bite his tail, it will be troublesome." ”Changde nodded, and hurriedly ordered someone to convey the order.Li Guotao, Changde and others cleaned up and hurriedly left this temporary headquarters.The troops bypassed the county town of Gu'an and continued to advance northwest along the Yongding River.However, it is said that Nishimura Yongren led the little devil all the way north, and was attacked and harassed four times, and each attack of the Eighth Route Army was either planted with some mines, or ran away after a few shots, although it did not wait for much loss to the little devil, but it was annoying to the little devil, and it also seriously affected the speed of the devil's march, and it took more than seven hours for the troops to get out of less than forty miles."
These damn dirt roads on Baga Road are really hateful" The Japanese army had just passed the county seat of Baxian County, and it was attacked for the fifth time.At this moment, a devil officer hurriedly ran over and said with a respectful face: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the Watanabe Brigade has called and said that the Eighth Route Army has all evacuated Gu'an County. ”"Hmph" Nishimura Yuto couldn't help but snort coldly, and said with a disdainful face: "These damn dirt eight roads, seeing that they don't have a chance to start, they run faster than rabbits, in which direction did those damn earth eight roads escape" "Report to Your Excellency Osa, the Eighth Route Army has fled in the northwest direction, Watanabe Shaosa asks Your Excellency, whether to pursue." ”The little devil officer asked respectfully."
What the hell are these damn dirt roads trying to do in the northwest," Nishimura said with a frown."
Your Excellency Dazuo, the northwest direction of Gu'an County is Fangshan, Fangshan is close to Beiping, these dirt roads are self-defeating," the adjutant next to him said with a smile.Nishimura Yuto nodded, and didn't care about whether there was any conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, so he hurriedly ordered loudly: "Immediately send an order to the Watanabe Brigade to pursue the Eighth Route Army, and notify the Fujimura Brigade to speed up the march and go north as soon as possible." ”aa2705221:
