A devil officer hurriedly walked up to Tanabe Moritake, and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, according to the report of Miyajima Nakasa, our chariot brigade has successfully broken through the defense line of the Yang Guanying of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army was completely defeated by the imperial army, and the remnants retreated into the mountains to hide. ”"Yo West" Tanabe Moritake nodded excitedly and said: "The chariot brigade really lived up to expectations, Miyajima-kun made a great contribution" Just now Tanabe Shengwu received news from the front line that the chariot brigade did not wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, so he launched an attack on the position of the Eighth Route Army, and he was still a little worried, afraid that the chariot brigade would suffer, but now Tanabe Shengwu finally breathed a sigh of relief."
Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, according to Miyajima Nakasa, now that Tsuchibachi has seen the power of the imperial army's chariots, he has been frightened, and he has no courage to stop the imperial army again, Miyajima Nakasa is ready to continue to advance in the direction of Datong and continue to act as the vanguard of the imperial army."
The devil officer continued."
Yo Xi is very good" Tanabe Moritake nodded with satisfaction and said: "Immediately inform Miyajima-kun and order him to lead the chariot brigade to continue to advance in the direction of Datong and sweep away all the Chinese army that dares to block the imperial army." ”The devil officer replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Tanabe Moritake turned to a devil next to him and ordered, "Immediately order the troops to speed up and keep up with the pace of the chariot brigade as soon as possible."
In addition, the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade was instructed to speed up its advance, to make a detour from both flanks of the Imperial Army, and to annihilate it immediately if it was found that it had fled into the mountains to take refuge in the mountains. ”"Hai" The devil Dazuo responded respectfully, turned around and went to deliver the order.At this time, another devil officer came over and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, according to the reconnaissance plane of the imperial army, it has been discovered that the Eighth Route Army in the Nansha Ridge area is seizing the time to repair the fortifications in an attempt to block the imperial army, and its strength is about 3,000 to 4,000, and there are also some troops of the Eighth Route Army who are withdrawing from the direction of Yanggao to Nansha Ridge. ”"Hmm" Moritake Tanabe nodded, and couldn't help frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.After a while, Tanabe Shengwu seemed to be talking to himself: "What do these Tu Balu want to do, they know that it is impossible to stop the chariot brigade of the Imperial Army, why do they continue to build fortifications in the Nansha Ridge area" "Your Excellency the division commander, I think it is not surprising that the troops of the Eighth Route Army are being defeated on the whole front, the time is too hasty, and some troops have not yet retreated.Moreover, the Eighth Route Army may have another purpose in this move, that is, it is deliberately delaying time, so that their main force in Suiyuan can have enough time to prepare for war. ”The adjutant standing next to him spoke.Tanabe Moritake nodded noncommittally, as the commander of the lieutenant general division, although Tanabe Moritake was a little arrogant, but after all, he was not a fool, such an obvious problem, of course he could think of it.It's just that Moritake Tanabe always feels a faint uneasiness, and he always feels that this matter doesn't seem to be so simple.Frowning and thinking for a while, Tanabe Moritake really couldn't figure out what was wrong.Finally, he shook his head, sighed softly and said, "Maybe the war is going too smoothly, and it is a little unexpected, so it makes me have such an illusion" "Your Excellency the division commander must be the reason why you have worked too hard in the past two days. ”The adjutant nodded and said."
Yo Xi, it seems that I am really too worried."
Moritake Tanabe nodded and said.At this time, Li Guotao had already withdrawn to Nanshaling with the headquarters, Li Guotao sat on a big rock, silently smoked a cigarette, and looked at the dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army not far away, who were busy building a new headquarters.Ma Zhenguo walked over with a smile on his face, glanced at Li Guotao and said: "Commander, now that the troops are ready, just waiting for the little devil to send it, how do you look at you still looking sad" Li Guotao sighed softly and said: "This time the Japanese army concentrated more than 20,000 troops to counterattack Suiyuan, I heard that Li Shouxin's puppet army is also ready to move, ready to march to Suiyuan at any time, the enemy is menacing, it is inevitable that there will be another big war, and this time I am afraid it will not be as easy to deal with as the last time." ”Ma Zhenguo suddenly realized: "So you are thinking about this, I am still worried about the devil's chariot brigade because you are still worried" Li Guotao shook his head and said: "The devil's chariot brigade is already in my bag, as long as they dare to come this time, I will definitely want them to come back."
But even if you get rid of the devil's chariot brigade, you can follow the main force of more than 20,000 devils, and if you want to deal with this group of little devils, how easy is it to talk about" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "What you said is right, this time the little devils are menacing, and it is really difficult to deal with."
However, this time, our Eighth Route Army also dispatched three columns, with a total strength of more than 40,000 people, even if the Eighth Column was pinned down by Li Shouxin's puppet army, we still have six columns and seven columns, nearly 30,000 people.Moreover, the headquarters is also actively negotiating with the Eighth War Zone, and the Eighth War Zone has agreed to send troops to assist us in resisting the little devils. ”"Eighth War Zone" Li Guotao shook his head with a wry smile.Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "Are you worried that the Eighth War Zone will not support us, but sit back and watch us and the little devil fight to lose, and then wait to pick up the bargain."
It shouldn't be that in the past two years, we have had a good relationship with that Commander Fu in the Eighth War Zone, and it has been proved that this Commander Fu is also sincere in resisting Japan, and when he counterattacked Suiyuan, if we hadn't made a move, they would not have recovered a large area of land in Suixi and Suizhong, I don't think they would be so ungrateful, not to mention that if we are defeated, it will be difficult for them to keep Suiyuan alone. ”Li Guotao said with a wry smile: "I don't worry much about the personality of this Commander Fu, and he also understands very well that our Eighth Route Army and them are in a relationship of lip and tooth dependence, and they will not die without help."
But I'm afraid that someone will make trouble from it" Ma Zhenguo suddenly realized: "You mean the one next to the guide." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Yes, that old man has always regarded our Eighth Route Army as a big problem, and he wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, and we have also seen his methods, he will definitely do such a thing." ”Speaking of which, Li Guotao didn't seem to want to continue the discussion, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't talk about this, even without the assistance of friendly forces, our Eighth Route Army can still rely on its own strength to fight this battle, it is better to ask for others than for yourself" aa2705221:
