"Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, according to the intelligence of the army aviation, the strength of the Eighth Route Army, which suddenly left Fengzhen, is more than 3,000 people, and it will not exceed 5,000 at most, but the specific strength needs to be further confirmed."
The little devil replied respectfully.Hearing this, Tanabe Shengwu's brows furrowed even deeper, he thought for a while, looked up and glanced at the devil officers present, and asked with a serious face: "What do you think is the intention of this Tubalu to suddenly leave Fengzhen and advance eastward" As soon as Tanabe Shengwu's words came out, the entire headquarters immediately fell into silence, and the sound of ticking and receiving telegrams from the confidential room next to him could be faintly heard.The dozen or so devil officers present frowned and began to think.After a while, a devil officer suddenly stepped forward and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the division commander, I guess with my humble position that this move of the people of China is nothing more than two purposes, one is to support the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army in Nanshaling, in an attempt to block the imperial army in the Nansha Ridge area, if this task cannot be completed, this Tu Eighth Route will receive the seventh column to withdraw from Nanshaling."
In addition to the above two points, I really can't think of any other possibilities. ”"Hmm" Tanabe Shengwu nodded, and said with a serious face: "Your analysis has some truth, according to the information we have obtained so far, the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army in the Nansha Ridge area is only a few thousand people, if it were not for the favorable position, the imperial army would have completely wiped them out."
Even with these thousands of reinforcements, it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to block our 20,000 imperial troops in Nanshaling.What's more, according to the information obtained before, the 35th Army of the Chinese government army has already left for Fengzhen and is building fortifications in the area of Fengzhen, obviously the Chinese want to have a decisive battle with the imperial army in Fengzhen, so it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to continue to block the imperial army in Nanshaling.Therefore, I concluded that most of this Eighth Route Army was here to meet the retreat of the Seventh Column. ”"Your Excellency, the commander of the Hai Division, is wise.Since the Chinese intended to fight a decisive battle with the imperial army in Fengzhen, the seventh column would definitely retreat to the northwest, and their receiving troops also came from this direction. ”The devil officer said with a serious face."
Yo Xi" Tanabe Moritake nodded with a smile and said: "If the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army can be annihilated in the Nansha Ridge area, when the imperial army attacks Fengzhen in the future, it will also be a lot less troublesome."
So we must not allow this dirt to break through. ”Tanabe Moritake frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "We must be prepared with both hands, first, continue to strengthen the offensive, and strive to completely defeat the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army before the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army arrive."
Second, the troops of a wing were dispatched to make a detour to the northwest to intercept the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army, and the two Eighth Route Armies must not be allowed to reconcile. ”"Your Excellency, Commander of the Hai Division, is wise."
A group of devil officers said in unison.Tanabe Moritake nodded with satisfaction and said, "Order the First Wing to continue to attack Nanshaling, and be sure to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army in front of you before dark."
The second wing was ordered to make a detour to the northwest and prepare to block the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army. ”"Hai," the two devils responded in unison.At noon, the Japanese army once again launched a fierce attack on our army's position, and this time the devil's attack was even more rapid, completely showing a lifeless posture, and the battle became even more tragic.It's a pity that before the soldiers had time to rejoice, there were bursts of violent motor roars in the air, and the planes of the little devils came to help the battle again, and in the sharp whistling, one after another Japanese planes swooped down, dropping bombs one after another on our army's position, and our army's position was instantly shrouded in artillery fire.The only thing to be thankful for is that the primary target of the devil's plane this time, the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army, has been transferred in advance, and according to Li Guotao's explanation, the soldiers used wood to forge some fake cannons on the original artillery position, which were used to confuse the devil's plane, and sure enough, it attracted a fierce bombardment from the devil.This move not only succeeded in keeping the artillery positions of our army, but also made the little devils waste a lot of bombs in vain.After a wild bombardment, the devil's plane finally flew into the air and flew away satisfied."
Yo Xi" Tanabe Moritake nodded with satisfaction and said: "This time, I want to see how long these hateful dirt eight roads can hold out, immediately order the infantry, immediately launch a new round of offensive, this time we must break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop." ”A little devil next to "Hai" responded respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Soon, hundreds of little devils rushed out of their own positions and rushed towards our army's positions with great momentum.On the hillside in the distance, Ma Zhenguo put down the binoculars, sighed helplessly and said: "The little devil's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and in this afternoon, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long." ”Li Guotao said with a serious face: "No matter what, you must hold on until dark, and at the critical moment, you can give up one line of defense and retreat to the second line of defense."
Delay as much time as possible, now there are only about four hours left before dark, as long as we hold on to these four hours, we can retreat at night, how are the preparations of the troops" Ma Zhenguo replied with a serious face: "The troops are basically ready to retreat. ”"That's good," Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction.At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over, and said loudly with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, I just received a report from the special combat team that there is a small devil with about a wing of strength, and he is secretly making a detour to the northwest. ”"Northwest direction" Li Guotao couldn't help frowning.Ma Zhenguo said with a serious face: "It seems that the little devils still want to outflank our back road, they failed yesterday and they were not reconciled, so they chose to outflank in the northwest direction." ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "The little devil's move may not be to outflank our back road, it may also be that the little devil learned that the Fourth Brigade had left Fengzhen, and the little devil thought that the Fourth Brigade was here to support us, so he sent troops to intercept it." ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. ”Li Guotao said with a serious face: "Immediately order the special combat team to use the local terrain to harass and attack the devils, slow down their marching speed, and notify the Fourth Brigade of this matter, so that they can strengthen their vigilance and prevent a sudden encounter with this little devil." ”aa2705221:
