At this time, Sasaki Zhiichi happened to be at an observation post in the front-line position, and saw that the Japanese army had captured our army's position, Sasaki Zhiichi finally showed a rare smile, nodded and said: "Yo Xi Da Di Hao" At this time, a devil officer ran over and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, according to the report of the front-line attacking troops, the Shina people seem to be retreating on all fronts, and our attacking troops have occupied more than a dozen positions of the Shina Army. ”Sasaki frowned slightly, and said with some doubts: "So it is the people of China who are taking the initiative to retreat, but why should they retreat suddenly" At this time, a devil next to him thought about it, and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the commander of the reporting division, yesterday we received a report on the battle situation of the 35th Division, the 35th Division has completed the occupation of Wanquan County, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army has all retreated to Zhangjiakou. ”"Hmm" Sasaki nodded slightly, he knew about it, so he didn't rush to the slightest strangeness, frowned and said, "What does this mean?"
”The devil Dazuo hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency Division Commander, the 35th Division has captured Wanquan County, and they can directly attack Zhangjiakou to the east, and directly attack the rear of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army to the southeast.He guessed that the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army must have been worried about being attacked by the imperial army from both sides, so he retreated in a hurry. ”Sasaki suddenly realized, nodded and said: "What you said is very reasonable, Yo Xi, I have been doubting just now, will there be any conspiracy for the sudden retreat of the Shina, it seems that I am too worried" Speaking of this, Sasaki Zhiyi's face suddenly became serious, and he ordered loudly: "In this case, immediately order all troops to launch an attack with all their might, and strive to completely defeat the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, and it is best to completely annihilate it in one fell swoop." ”"Hai" The devil Dazuo responded respectfully, and hurriedly turned around to convey the order.The Eighth Route Army took the initiative to retreat, and the little devil's offensive became even more crazy, hoping to take this opportunity to defeat the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop, but our Eighth Route Army retreated in an orderly and orderly manner, and did not give the little devil any opportunity to take advantage of at all.By about two o'clock in the afternoon, the Eighth Route Army had retreated several kilometers and stabilized the defensive line from Xuanhua County to Taizi Village.In the Japanese headquarters, a devil officer walked quickly to Sasaki to the front and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, at present, the Eastern Route Imperial Army has advanced to Xuanhua County, the Middle Route Imperial Army has advanced to Xuanhua Station, and the West Route Imperial Army has advanced to the front line of Taizi Village, and the Imperial Army of all roads is progressing smoothly, but the Eighth Route Army has stopped retreating and relying on the fortifications built in advance to resist the attack of the Imperial Army. ”"Yo Xi ordered all troops to continue the offensive and break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible."
Sasaki ordered with a serious face.The devil officer replied respectfully, and turned to deliver the order.At the same time, in the headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, the staff officers of the headquarters were busy.Ma Zhenguo pointed to the sand table and said with a serious face: "The troops have withdrawn to the corresponding positions, the Anguo Independent Regiment has withdrawn to Xuanhua County, the new Seventh Regiment is stationed at the railway station, and the cavalry regiment is deployed in the area north of the railway station as a reserve.The teaching brigade was responsible for guarding the defensive line from the west of the railway station to Taizi Village. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "At this point, we have no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death with the little devil here" Ma Zhenguo frowned and said with a serious face: "At present, the little devil has advanced to the outside of the city, and it is estimated that he will soon launch an attack on the county seat, Xuanhua County has become the first line of the battle, and it is no longer safe for the headquarters to stay here. ”Li Guotao shook his head and said: "The stakes are very high, and we must not lose them.At this critical juncture, I must be with my troops and fight with my warriors in order to achieve complete victory in this battle. ”Ma Zhenguo sighed helplessly, it was not the first time he had persuaded Li Guotao to retreat, but Li Guotao repeatedly insisted on staying, and Ma Zhenguo was also helpless.glanced at Li Guotao, shook his head and said, "Since this is the case, then let's fight side by side and fight with the little devil." ”Li Guotao nodded with a smile, and then said with a serious face: "The wounded in the city have been transferred" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "Commander, rest assured, the wounded have basically all been transferred" Li Guotao nodded with satisfaction, turned around and looked outside the door, and said with emotion: "Since everything is ready, let's slowly enjoy this last tranquility together, because it won't be long before this place will become a battlefield full of war" Ma Zhenguo sighed slightly and said:" What a beautiful small city, seeing that it was about to be destroyed in the flames of war, I was really reluctant to give up. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "This is also a matter of no way, in order to be able to defeat the little devil, even if it is worth paying a big price." ”The two were talking, Zhao Yunfei, Xu Feihu and Du Yulong hurriedly walked in, Li Guotao saw these three confidants, and said with a smile: "You are here" "Commander Chief of Staff" Zhao Yunfei raised his hands and saluted.Li Guotao hurriedly raised his hand and returned a military salute, and said with a smile: "When do you plan to retreat from your special combat team?"
Zhao Yunfei said with a serious face: "Commander, we came here this time to tell you that our special combat team has decided to stay." ”"Stay" Li Guotao couldn't help frowning, shook his head and said: "There doesn't seem to be room for you to show here, what are you staying for" Zhao Yunfei hurriedly said loudly: "Who said that there is no room for us to show here."
Isn't it just fighting street battles, who can compare to our special combat team?
What's more, the commander is not leaving, and we will stay to protect the safety of the commander. ”"Nonsense" Li Guotao couldn't help frowning."
It's okay to let them stay," Ma Zhenguo said after thinking about it: "In case of any emergency, maybe they will really be used." ”"It's the commander, you just let us stay," Du Yulong hurriedly said.Li Guotao turned around and glanced at Ma Zhenguo, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Why are you also helping them talk" "Hehe, I'm not helping them talk, I just think that this battle may be really useful to their special combat team, so I think it's better to let them stay." ”Ma Zhenguo explained with a smile.aa2705221:
