Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Guotao left Hulu Valley and hurried back to the headquarters.There was basically no stop along the way, and by the time I rushed back to the headquarters, it was already past noon.Li Guotao walked into the headquarters in a hurry, and just saw Ma Zhenguo explaining something to several staff officers, and hurriedly walked over."
Okay, you guys go get busy" Ma Zhenguo saw that Li Guotao was back, waved his hand to the staff officers, turned his head to Li Guotao and said with a smile: "Commander, you are back" Li Guotao nodded and asked casually: "How is the situation now" "Sit down and talk" Ma Zhenguo pointed to the chair next to him and said.Li Guotao nodded, walked over and sat down directly, picked up the tea jar on the table and took a sip of water.Ma Zhenguo sat next to Li Guotao and said with a serious face: "According to the information we have so far, after the 14th Division of the Japanese Army arrived at Niangzi Pass, there was no further action.At present, he is still staying at Niangzi Pass, and he should be waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops.However, the 46th and 47th Divisions of the Japanese Army had already left Zhengding and Shimen and rushed to the direction of Niangziguan by road and railway.So far, only the Fourth Division is still staying near Shimen, and there is no movement for the time being.However, the other troops have already set off, and it is estimated that this fourth division will not stay in Shimen for too long. ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded, and said with a serious face: "It seems that after the battle of Hulu Valley, the little devil has become more cautious, so that we have no chance to start." ”"It's no wonder, the little devil lost a main wing all of a sudden, where would he dare to continue to take risks," Ma Zhenguo said with a soft sigh."
Well, are there any new instructions from the headquarters?"
Li Guotao then asked."
The instructions of the headquarters are very simple, block the Japanese troops along the way, delay the speed of the Japanese army as much as possible, continue to look for fighters, and destroy one of them."
Ma Zhenguo said with a serious face: "At present, the units of the Eighth Route Army near the Zhengtai Railway have received orders from the headquarters and have begun to lay mines on the roads that the Japanese army must pass along the way, so as to achieve the purpose of blocking the Japanese army. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "But this can only achieve the goal of delaying the Japanese army at most, but it cannot eliminate them and solve the problem fundamentally." ”Ma Zhenguo sighed and said: "The little devils of the four divisions, and two of them are still often said to be divisions, and now the little devils have taken precautions, if the little devils of these four divisions go hand in hand, it will be difficult for us to find a chance to annihilate them one by one." ”"Opportunities are not given by others, but created by oneself.There is no opportunity now, so we will find a way to create it ourselves.The little devils are not three-headed and six-armed, invulnerable, and I still don't believe that I can't destroy them. ”Li Guotao said confidently.The two were talking, when a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over and said loudly with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, I have just received the latest information that the main force of the 14th Division of the Japanese army of about 5,000 people has left Niangzi Pass and is advancing in the direction of Hulu Valley. ”"Got it."
Li Guotao nodded, turned to Ma Zhenguo and said with a smile: "It seems that the little devil finally can't help but start acting." ”Ma Zhenguo said excitedly: "That's okay, at present, the 46th and 47th divisions of the Japanese army can't arrive for the time being, if this little devil is still like before, if the army is alone, then we have a chance" Li Guotao smiled and shook his head and said: "How can it be as simple as you say, although the little devil is arrogant, but he has just suffered a big loss, how can he make the same mistake a second time."
I guess most of these little devils went to Hulu Valley to collect their corpses.For humanitarian reasons, when people go to collect the corpses, we can't stop them, so let them collect the corpses.At present, the newly formed 1st Brigade has withdrawn from Hulu Valley, and it is possible to inform them to stay on the spot and stand by, closely monitor the movements of this little devil, and not act without orders. ”"I'm going to send a telegram to the new brigade."
Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, turned around and walked in the direction of the confidential room.In the evening of the same day, Lieutenant General Seiichichiro, commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, stood on the top of Hulu Peak, looking at the dense craters in the valley, and the anger on his face loomed.Sure enough, as Li Guotao guessed, the purpose of the little devil coming here was to collect the corpse.The little devils dug up all the bodies that were hastily buried by the Eighth Route Army, and then cremated them on the spot, and all the ashes were transported back to Japan.At this time, the stench of burning corpses was permeated in the valley, and puffs of smoke rose into the sky.At this time, a little devil officer held a document in his hand, hurriedly walked behind Kita Chengeiro, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, after the imperial army surveyed the scene, combined with the last telegram sent by the 15th Wing, the battle at that time has been basically investigated. ”Kita Seiiichiro turned his head abruptly when he heard this, and his sharp gaze made the little devil shudder, and he quickly lowered his head and respectfully handed over the document in his hand.Seiichiro Kita grabbed the document and looked at it carefully.The more Seiichiro Kita looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.The anger that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time finally broke out again."
Yaga" Kita Seiichiro scolded angrily, stretched out his hand to shred the documents in his hand, and scolded loudly with an angry face: "Ishihara Shozo, this idiot, is simply a rice bucket, and it is because of this bastard that thousands of imperial warriors have been killed in vain. ”Although thousands of Japanese soldiers gathered in the vicinity, most of these little devils were busy collecting the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, and the whole valley was shrouded in an extremely depressing atmosphere, and it was quiet all around.Kita Seiichiro's sudden angry scolding echoed throughout the valley, and many little devils who were far away could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but raise their heads and look in the direction of Hulu Peak."
Your Excellency the Division Commander, calm your anger," the little devil next to him hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade him.But once Kita Seiichiro's anger is ignited, how can it be so easy to subside, no matter how the little devils persuade him, Kita Seiichiro is indifferent at all, and is still scolding like crazy.After a while, Kita Seiichiro may have been tired, so he stopped, panting and said loudly, "Send scouts to search for the traces of those Tubalu at once, and I will break them all into pieces." ”A devil officer next to "Hai" responded respectfully, and hurriedly turned around to convey the order.The little devils all knew that His Excellency the division commander was angry at this time, so no one dared to disobey Kita Seiiichiro's orders at this time.aa2705221:
