In the dark valley, a large group of devil soldiers are groping their way forward, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and the devil's marching team stretches for miles, obviously this is the main force of the devil.Takemura Osa led several devil officers under his command to mix in the team and slowly walked forward, suddenly Takemura Osa stopped, frowned and asked a devil officer beside him: "Where have we arrived now?"
"Report to Your Excellency Takesa, where we are now is called Ximalingou, walk a few miles forward, turn east and go east along Dalinggou, you can bypass Wanquan and go directly to the north gate of Zhangjiakou." ”The devil officer replied with a respectful face."
Yo Xi" Takemura Osa nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's too dark today, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, we won't get lost" "Please rest assured, the guide who led the way for the imperial army is a local mountain person, who has lived here for decades, even if he closes his eyes, he can walk to Zhangjiakou, and he will definitely not get lost." ”The devil officer swore an oath."
Are these Shina people reliable," Takemura Osa couldn't help but frown and asked."
Please rest assured, Your Excellency Dazuo, this person is absolutely reliable, because his wife and children are in our hands, forgive him and don't dare to play any tricks."
The devil officer said with a wicked grin."
Yo Xi is so good."
Takemura nodded with satisfaction.It is no wonder that Takemura Daisa would be so cautious, this time Tanabe Moritake sent Takemura Daisa to bypass the defense line of the Eighth Route Army from the mountain road and directly support Zhangjiakou.For this reason, Tanabe Moritake even transferred the remnants of the Takao Wing to the Takemura Wing, but before the Battle of the Toyo River, the Takao Wing was almost wiped out, and the losses of the Takemura Wing were not small, and now the two wings together are not enough to make up the strength of a reorganized wing.And in order to be able to rush to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible, the Takemura Wing was lightly armed and simple, and did not even carry food, only carrying enough ammunition on the road, as for those artillery and logistics units were left behind and the main force of the 41st Division, at this time the troops led by Takemura Dazuo were only more than 2,000 infantry, so it can be seen that the little devil decided to make a desperate gamble this time.Whether the Takemura Wing can arrive at Zhangjiakou in time is directly related to the victory or defeat of this battle, and Takemura Osa still remembers the serious expression on Tanabe Moritake's face before leaving.Although Tanabe Moritake did not say it explicitly, Takemura Osa knew in his heart that if this mission failed, Takemura Osa's only fate would be to apologize for his crimes, so Takemura Osa had to be cautious.Thinking of this, Takemura Daisa ordered with a serious face: "Immediately send an order to the troops, speed up the advance, and we must rush to Zhangjiakou at dawn tomorrow." ”The devil officer replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.Takemura Osa was faintly excited at this time, danger and opportunity coexisted, once the mission to rescue Zhangjiakou failed, Takemura Osa naturally could not escape death, but on the other hand, once it succeeded, Takemura Osa would become a hero of Japan, thinking of this, how could Takemura Osa not be excited.It's a pity that Takemura Daisa didn't realize that Li Guotao had long expected that Tanabe Shengwu might have such a hand, so he had already prepared, and Changde's independent Seventh Brigade was already waiting in front of him, just waiting for the little devil to throw himself into the net.Changde was in his own headquarters, fidgeting back and forth, raising his wrist from time to time to look at his watch, frowning and saying with a puzzled face: "His grandmother's, the calculation time should be almost the same, why hasn't the little devil come yet" Although there is no definite information that the little devil will take the mountain road to support Zhangjiakou, Changde is indeed sure of this, because Li Guotao's telegram said very clearly, the little devil will definitely come.Even Changde didn't know when he had become so trusting of Li Guotao.At this moment, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly walked over and said loudly with a respectful face: "Report to the brigade commander, the headquarters is in an emergency."
Our scouts found that a group of little devils had entered the northern mountains in an attempt to support Zhangjiakou in a roundabout way, and its strength exceeded 2,000 people. ”"Great," Chang De immediately exclaimed excitedly when he heard this.A brigade staff officer next to him couldn't help frowning and said: "Brigade commander, there are more than 2,000 little devils, and the commander ordered us to annihilate them all, this is not a joke."
And if the little devils go other ways, we may not be able to stop them" "Bah, there are more than 2,000 little devils, and I haven't paid attention to them yet." ”Chang De said indifferently: "And the little devil will definitely take our way, because Zhangjiakou is in danger at this time, maybe the eighth column will be able to successfully recover Zhangjiakou tonight."
At this moment, this group of little devils will definitely rush to Zhangjiakou as quickly as possible, and the road of Dalinggou is the nearest road, if they take other roads, they will have to go at least dozens of miles away, so they will not want to rush to Zhangjiakou tomorrow morning. ”After listening to Changde's words, several staff officers present nodded in agreement.Chang De said with an excited smile: "Don't be stunned, immediately order all troops and prepare for battle." ”"Yes," a communications staff officer replied respectfully, turned and ran to deliver the order.Changde strode to the table, looked at the map on the table carefully through the dim kerosene lamp, pointed to the map and said with a smile: "This valley is steep and the mountain road is narrow, our Anguo Independent Regiment has built a position here, with the local terrain, not to mention 2,000 little devils, even 20,000 little devils will not want to break through the defense line of our army."
As long as the Anguo Independent Regiment successfully intercepts the little devils, and the New Seventh Regiment makes a detour from the back to cut off the back of the devils, more than 2,000 little devils will become turtles in the urn, and at that time, we will not clean them up as much as we want, but how to clean them up.Haha" Speaking of this, Changde couldn't help but laugh excitedly.At this moment, the staff officer who had just run to convey the order hurriedly ran back again, and said excitedly: "Report to the brigade commander, I just received a report from the front-line scouts, and I have discovered that the vanguard of the devil is rushing east along the Daling Valley, less than five miles away from the position of the Anguo Independent Regiment. ”"It's great to order the Anguo Independent Regiment to pay close attention to the movements of the devils, if the devils attack, be sure to hold their positions, and be sure to block the devils' attacks."
Chang De ordered loudly with a serious face."
