In Zhangjiakou City, in the former enemy's headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, several staff officers were briefing Commander Nie on the current situation, and the entire headquarters was a busy scene.At this moment, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran in and said with a respectful face: "Report commander, I just received a report from the front line that the Japanese troops who have broken into the city have begun to retreat. ”"Retreat" Commander Nie was slightly startled, quickly turned around and glanced at the map hanging on the wall, frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "It seems that the little devil is aware of the strategic intentions of our army, and he is preparing to run away." ”At this time, a staff officer spoke: "Commander, according to the current situation, if the Japanese 35th Division really wants to break through, they have only one way to go.That is, to attack to the south, flank our seventh column in front and rear, and after breaking through our army's defensive line, it will make peace with the Japanese 10th Division and other units. ”Commander Nie nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense, we decided not to let the little devil's conspiracy succeed."
If I remember correctly, it should be the 4th Brigade of the 7th Column that was stationed on the front line of Shalingzi. ”"Yes, it's this Fourth Brigade."
The staff officer hurriedly replied.Commander Nie sighed slightly and said, "Although after such a long battle, the 35th Division has suffered a lot of losses, but the main force is still there, and with only one brigade of the Fourth Brigade, I am afraid it will be difficult to block the attack of this little devil."
Immediately notify the seventh column to block the Japanese counterattack at all costs.The Eighth Column, the Ninth Column, the newly formed First Division, and all the participating troops near Zhangjiakou were ordered to immediately launch an attack on the entire front of the Japanese 35th Division, striving to annihilate this little devil in the shortest possible time, and absolutely not allowing them to make peace with the 10th Division and other units. ”"Yes," the staff officer replied respectfully, turning and running to deliver the order.Commander Nie's order quickly reached the headquarters of the seventh column, and after Li Guotao received the news, he couldn't help frowning and said, "We should have thought that the little devil would do this a long time ago. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded slightly and said: "At this time, the 35th Division has fallen into the encirclement of our army, in order not to be encircled and annihilated, the Japanese army will inevitably attack our Shalingzi defense line with all its might."
Now there is only our Fourth Brigade here, and with this little strength, it may be very difficult to block the attack of tens of thousands of devils. ”"No matter how difficult it is, we must block the counterattack of the devils, in order to win this battle, we have paid too much, and now we have reached the most critical moment, we must not allow any mistakes to be made immediately, notify Li Yongfu immediately, and block the little devils at all costs, so as to buy time for the main force to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army."
Li Guotao said with a serious face.Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "Do we want to transfer some troops to support the Fourth Brigade" Li Guotao sighed helplessly and said: "In order to block the Tenth Division and the Independent Fifth Mixed Brigade of the devil, all our troops have been put into battle, do you think we can still send troops to support the Fourth Brigade now" Ma Zhenguo sighed helplessly and said: "It seems that now they can only rely on themselves." ”After saying this, Ma Zhenguo turned around and hurriedly walked towards the confidential room.Looking at Ma Zhenguo's back, Li Guotao sighed helplessly and said: "Fortunately, it is already afternoon, there are still two hours at most, it should be dark, the night will be our best cover, and the Fourth Brigade should be able to hold on." ”At the same time, Sasaki Toichi was furious again in his headquarters, the reason was very simple, the Japanese army fought hard in Xuanhua County for most of the day, although it occupied some blocks, but it was never able to occupy the entire Xuanhua County.What made Sasaki Ichi angry the most was that although the attacking troops had made some progress, they had also suffered heavy losses, and the gains were far from compensating for the losses, which was what Sasaki was most angry about."
Yaga, a bunch of stupid pigs, all of them are rice buckets, and they can't even deal with a group of dirt eight roads, who else do I want you to do" Sasaki couldn't help but scolded loudly.At this time, a devil officer ran over quickly and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Reporting Division, I have just received a telegram from Your Excellency Commander Tada, and at present, in Zhangjiakou, the 35th Division has fallen into the encirclement of the Eighth Route Army, and the hateful Tubalu intends to encircle and annihilate our 35th Division, and the situation of the 35th Division is extremely critical.His Excellency, the commander of the Harada Kumaji Division, has led his troops to withdraw from Zhangjiakou and is advancing towards Xuanhua.His Excellency the Commander ordered our troops to launch an all-out attack, break through the defense line of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, and make peace with the 35th Division as soon as possible. ”When Sasaki heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned around and glanced at the sand table in front of him, thought about it carefully, and then said with a serious face: "These damn dirt and eight roads on the Eight Roads of Baga Road actually tried to encircle and annihilate my 35th Division, I really don't know how thick the sky is" At this time, a devil next to him, Dazuo, hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Division Commander, the commander of the Harada Kumaji Division was bent on monopolizing the credit for capturing Zhangjiakou, Even the order of His Excellency the Commander to order him to attack the seventh column with all his might and make peace with our army fell on deaf ears.And now the 35th Division has taken the initiative to give up the attack on Zhangjiakou and go all out to move closer to our army, which shows that the situation of the 35th Division at this time is very bad" "Yo Xi, you're right, if it's not a last resort, how could Harada Kumayoshi, that idiot, give up the fat in his mouth It seems that we still underestimate these damn dirt eight roads" Sasaki nodded and said with a frown."
Then what should we do now," the devil Dazuo hurriedly asked with a respectful face."
What should I do" Sasaki smiled slightly, and then said with a serious face: "Now that the 35th Division is in distress, although this Harada Kumayoshi is very annoying, we can't see death without help." ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise, if the 35th Division is really surrounded and annihilated by this gang of Tubalu, we will inevitably be charged with ineffective combat."
The devil Dazuo said respectfully.Sasaki nodded lightly, took a deep breath and said: "Immediately send out an order to order all troops to launch a full-line attack on the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, and be sure to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible and make peace with the 35th Division." ”"Your Excellency, Commander of the Hai Division, is wise."
The devil Dazuo responded respectfully, and quickly turned around to convey the order.Sasaki looked at the sand table in front of him, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, hateful Li Guotao, this time in the face of the two-sided attack of my two divisions and an independent mixed brigade, I want to see where you can escape." ”aa2705221:
