"Report to Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Imperial Army has successfully captured the second line of defense of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army has been completely defeated, and the remnants are fleeing eastward," a devil officer ran to Tanabe Moritake and said with a respectful face."
Yo Xi is a big drop" Tanabe Moritake nodded excitedly and said: "Immediately send an order, order the front-line troops to continue the pursuit, notify the rest of the departments, immediately cross the Dongyang River, and advance in the direction of Zhangjiakou." ”"Hai" The devil officer responded respectfully, and quickly turned around to convey the order.After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the 41st Division of the Japanese Army finally broke through the defense line of the Dongyang River of the Eighth Route Army.At this time, Tanabe Shengwu didn't realize that Li Guotao had already laid a huge pocket array for him in front, just waiting for him to drill it, but even if Tanabe Shengwu knew, he could only go up hard, because at this moment he had no way out.At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Tanabe Moritake led his troops to the vicinity of Anjiabao.Standing in an open field, Tanabe Moritake looked at the large and small craters and the abandoned trench fortifications in front of him, and there seemed to be a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.Tanabe Moritake couldn't help frowning and said: "It was here that the Second Independent Mixed Brigade was completely annihilated by those hateful Eighth Route Roads" "Your Excellency, Report Division, Your Excellency, the Second Independent Mixed Brigade used to have a fierce battle with the Eighth Route Army here, but the Second Independent Mixed Brigade was about five or six miles in front and finally all the jade was shattered. ”A devil officer next to him hurriedly replied.Tanabe Moritake nodded noncommittally, held the command knife in his hand tightly, tried his best to hide the faint uneasiness in his heart, raised his legs and continued to walk forward.At this time, a little devil hurriedly ran over and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the report, the forward troops of our army have been blocked by the Chinese army. ”Tanabe Shengwu couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked with a serious face: "Where is it?"
"It's about five or six miles ahead" The little devil hurriedly replied."
Yo Xi" Tanabe Moritake nodded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.Turning around and glancing at the devil officers around him, he asked with a smile: "What do you think about this matter?"
"Your Excellency the division commander, according to the information obtained before, the Zhina people have gathered thousands of troops in the area from Wanquan County to Anjiapu, and have built several lines of defense, and their intention is very obvious, that is, to prevent the imperial army from supporting Zhangjiakou. ”A devil Dazuo stepped forward and said respectfully.Tanabe Shengwu nodded and said, "Not only that, I guess Li Guotao should have another purpose. ”"I also hope that His Excellency the division commander will advise," the devil Dazuo hurriedly asked."
Hmph" Tanabe Shengwu snorted coldly and said: "I guess this Li Guotao still wants to annihilate our 41st Division in one fell swoop in the area west of Wanquan County like he did last time against the Independent Second Mixed Brigade. ”"How is this possible" The devil Dazuo said with a surprised face: "Although after repeated battles, my 41st Division has suffered losses, but the strength is still there, just relying on those dirt eight roads to completely annihilate our 41st Division, this is simply wishful thinking" Tanabe Moritake sneered and said: "It is indeed wishful thinking, but you don't know this guy Li Guotao, this person has always been bold and reckless, and his courage and courage are far more than others, if it were other commanders, he might not have such thoughts, But this Li Guotao definitely has the courage and courage.It's just a pity that I, Moritake Tanabe, am not a fool who sees Yoyichi, and our 41st Division is not one of those wastes of the independent 2nd Mixed Brigade, and it is absolutely impossible for these dirt roads to annihilate our 41st Division. ”The little devils around nodded one after another, obviously no one was skeptical of Tanabe Moritake's words.At this time, a young devil staff officer suddenly stood up and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency Division Commander, although the Eighth Route Army does not have the ability to completely annihilate our 41st Division, but the Eighth Route Army has built several defense lines in the area from Wanquan County to Anjiabao.At this time, Zhangjiakou was in danger, the Eighth Route Army had already broken into the city, and the Eighth Route Army, which had made the fastest progress, had even reached a distance of only one street from the headquarters.If we can't get to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible, Zhangjiakou is likely to be lost. ”Tanabe Moritake turned to look at the young staff officer, his sharp gaze shot at the devil staff officer like a sharp knife, and the young staff officer just glanced up at Tanabe Moritake's eyes, and then took two steps back in fright.A smile appeared at the corner of Tanabe Shengwu's mouth, and he walked over and patted the young staff officer on the shoulder and said, "What you said is very reasonable, for us, the most important thing now is to rush to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible."
If we can't ensure the safety of Zhangjiakou, even if we wipe out all the dirt roads here, the imperial army will be defeated.Then in your opinion, how should the imperial army rescue the danger of Zhangjiakou?"
"This" The young staff officer lowered his head, his face was flushed, and he didn't say a reason for a long time.Tanabe Shengwu didn't force the devil staff officer, smiled and nodded and said, "You can't help it, but I've already thought of a way." ”"Your Excellency the Commander of the Hai Division is wise, and I hope that Your Excellency the Commander of the Division will advise."
The young devil staff officer said respectfully.Tanabe Shengwu didn't say his own way directly, glanced at these devil officers present, and saw that everyone was also confused, one by one waiting for Tanabe Shengwu to reveal the mystery Seeing this, Tanabe Shengwu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, sighed softly, and then said with a serious face: "Immediately order the front-line troops to launch a full-scale attack on the position of the Zhina people."
In addition, inform Takemura Osa and ask him to come and see me immediately. ”"Your Excellency the Division Commander," the previous devil Dazuo exclaimed with a puzzled expression, he really couldn't understand why Tanabe Moritake insisted on launching a strong attack on the defense line of the Eighth Route Army.Tanabe Moritake glanced at the devil Dazuo coldly, and said unceremoniously: "Why didn't you hear what I just said?""
In that case, let's carry out the order," Tanabe said unquestioningly."
Hai," the devil Dazuo replied respectfully.aa2705221:
