On the night of the 19th, Anda Twenty-three, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by the adjutant, and Anda Twenty-three opened the door and asked with a displeased face: "What happened?"
"Report to Your Excellency General, Your Excellency the Division Commander has just called, asking you to go to the division headquarters immediately." ”The adjutant replied respectfully."
Now," Anda Twenty-Three asked, frowning."
Your Excellency the Commander of the Hai Division said on the phone, let you go over immediately."
The adjutant hurriedly said."
I see."
Anda Twenty-three nodded, and after returning to the room and getting dressed, he immediately hurried to the division headquarters.When Anda Twenty-three arrived at the division headquarters, the headquarters was already in chaos, and a group of Japanese staff officers were busy going in and out, Anda Twenty-three came to the command hall with doubts, and saw that the division commander, Lieutenant General Kuroda Shigetoku, was there to explain something to several devil officers, so he hurriedly walked over, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Your Excellency the Division Commander" "Yo Xi" Kuroda Shigetoku turned around and glanced at Anda Twenty-three, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Anda-kun, you came just in time.Not long ago, we received an order from His Excellency Commander Okabe, ordering our 26th Division to immediately withdraw troops and quickly support Baotou. ”"Support Baotou" Anda Twenty-Three frowned, as if he couldn't believe it."
Yes, and it is to support Baotou quickly, not long ago, those hateful Chinese troops suddenly attacked Baotou, and have successfully broken into Baotou City, Baotou is in danger, Your Excellency Commander Okabe, this is why I ordered our troops to rush to support."
Kuroda explained patiently."
Baga, these hateful people are so bold and reckless," Anda Twenty-Three said angrily when he heard this."
Anda-kun is right, these people are indeed bold and reckless, so this time we want to teach these hateful people a good lesson, so that these stupid people can completely understand that our Imperial Japanese Army cannot be provoked."
Kuroda Shigetoku said with a serious face."
Hai" Anda Twenty-three said respectfully: "The humble post immediately ordered all the troops under his command, immediately dispatched troops, and quickly supported Baotou. ”"No need" Kuroda Shigetoku waved his hand and said: "The situation is urgent, I have directly ordered the 11th Independent Infantry Wing to immediately send troops to support Baotou."
The 12th Wing and the 13th Wing of the Independent Infantry were ordered to each transfer the strength of two brigades and set off to support Baotou together with the troops directly under the division. ”"Your Excellency General Hai is wise."
Anda Twenty-three responded respectfully, and then sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Does Your Excellency the Division Commander want to personally lead troops to support Baotou" "Of course, the current situation in Baotou is very urgent, and our department is responsible for rescue, if the rescue is unfavorable and Baotou is lost, how can we explain to His Excellency the Commander, so I decided to personally lead the troops to Baotou" Kuroda Shigetoku nodded and said.Before Kuroda Shigetoku finished speaking, Anda Twenty-three interrupted him and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the division commander, it's just to deal with some people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and His Excellency the division commander He Lao is willing to do it for him personally." ”Kuroda Shigetoku was slightly stunned, he wanted to let Anda Twenty-Three stay in Datong and lead the team to support Baotou by himself, but before he could say anything, Anda Twenty-Three offered to be willing to go to support Baotou, Kuroda Shigetoku didn't want to sweep Anda Twenty-three's face, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.In fact, Adachi Twenty-three had already guessed that Kuroda Shigetoku had the intention of letting him stay in Datong, so he didn't wait for Kuroda Shigetoku to finish speaking, and sealed Kuroda Shigetoku's mouth in advance.Kuroda Shigetoku hesitated for a moment, and then said, "In that case, Anda-kun will go with me to support Baotou. ”"Hai, I am willing to assist Your Excellency the division commander to abolish the offensive of the Chinese army in one fell swoop and wipe out all this hateful Chinese army."
Anda Twenty-Three replied respectfully."
Yo Xi" Kuroda Shigetoku nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "As for the important task of staying in Datong, I will hand it over to Hashimoto-kun" "Hai" Hashimoto Daisa, who was standing next to him, hurriedly responded with a respectful face.Kuroda Shigetoku looked at Hashimoto Daisa, and said earnestly: "Datong is an important town in northern Jin, it is very important to the empire, and there is absolutely no room for failure, so no matter what, you must ensure the safety of Datong, you understand" "Hai understands his humble duties."
However, I thought that His Excellency the division commander was too worried, and there was no Chinese army in the vicinity of Datong that could threaten the safety of Datong" "Yaga" did not wait for Hashimoto Daisa to finish speaking, Kuroda Shigetoku unceremoniously interrupted his words, and said with a serious face: "You are stupid, have you forgotten, not long ago, there was a main force of the Eighth Route Army stationed in the Liuleng Mountain area, only more than a hundred miles away from Datong, I am worried that this Eighth Route Army will take advantage of the main force of the imperial army to support Baotou, take advantage of the fire to rob, So you have to be careful.In addition, the Tuba Road has always been cunning, after the main force of the imperial army set off, the Datong garrison is empty, you only need to ensure the safety of Datong and the surrounding important towns and railway lines immediately, and you must not rush to attack, in case you fall into the tricks of the Tuba Road, you understand. ”"Hai is humble, please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, there is a humiliation to ensure that Datong is safe and sound."
Hashimoto Osa assured with a solemn face, although he said so, but he was really very disdainful in his heart, thinking that Kuroda Shigetoku was too cautious, and he was too cautious, and he wanted to capture Datong with their equipment, it was simply wishful thinking Kuroda Shigetoku nodded with satisfaction this time, turned to Anda Twenty-three and said: "Anda-kun, I have ordered the railway department to dispatch vehicles as quickly as possible to transport the imperial army north to support, now you go back immediately and lead your troops to the railway station to assemble, Ready to support Baotou. ”"Hai" Anda Twenty-three responded respectfully, and then suddenly remembered something, frowned and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the humble post suddenly sounded, I just received news during the day, the army of the Liuling Mountain suddenly left the Liuling Mountain area and went north yesterday, and its whereabouts are still unknown.Now combined with the sneak attack on Baotou by the Zhina army, I suspect that this Eight Roads is likely to block the Imperial Army to support Baotou halfway, so the Imperial Army has to guard against it" "Yo Xi An Dajun's analysis is reasonable, it's just a group of Tu Eight Roads, and if you want to block the main force of my 26th Division, it is simply wishful thinking. ”Kuroda said confidently.aa2705221:
