That night, the little devil set up camp in the Hulu Valley area, but Kita Seiichiro didn't sleep well that night, not because of the bad conditions, but because he was holding a bad breath in his heart and had nowhere to vent.Early the next morning, Seiichiro Kita strode into the temporary headquarters with two dark circles under his eyes.A devil officer hurriedly greeted him and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the division commander." ”"Hmm" Seiichiro Kita nodded and asked with a serious face: "Have you found that group of hateful Dirt Eight Roads?"
"Report to Your Excellency, the scouts of the Imperial Army have found traces of the main force of the Eighth Route Army about twenty miles to the north, and it is estimated that this Dirt Eight Roads should be the ones we are looking for. ”The devil officer said with a respectful face.Kita Seiichiro frowned slightly, and then walked to the front of the map, and the devil officer hurriedly walked over, pointed to the map and said, "It is in this location, the area from Zhaojiayuan to the giant town." ”"Yo Xi" Kita Seiichiro nodded, snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, I thought these damn dirt eight roads would escape and hide, but I didn't expect these guys to be so bold that they dared to stay here, I was about to settle accounts with them, so it's best, let's settle the new accounts and old accounts with them." ”"Your Excellency Division Commander" The devil officer hurriedly reminded: "Commander Tada has specially explained that it is best for us not to act on our own for the time being, and wait until the follow-up 46th Division, 47th Division and 4th Division arrive before acting in unison. ”"Hmph" Seiichiro Kita snorted coldly, and said disappreciatively: "Yes, Your Excellency the Commander has explained, but don't forget, Your Excellency the Commander has also explained that if there is a chance, you must go all out to annihilate the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, and now is a rare opportunity." ”The devil officer saw that Kita Seiichiro's face was not good, and he was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth obediently.Kita Seiichiro looked at the map, and then said with a serious face: "Where is the 50th Wing at the moment?"
"Your Excellency the Commander of the Division, the 50th Wing is still near Niangzi Pass. ”The devil officer replied with a respectful face."
Yo Xi" Kita Seiichiro nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately order the 50th Wing to set off from Niangzi Pass and go straight to Zhaojiayuan, and order the 2nd Infantry Wing and other units to immediately assemble and set off, and advance in the direction of Zhaojiayuan and Jucheng."
The imperial army is flanked on both sides, and this time it will definitely annihilate this group of hateful Tubalu in one fell swoop. ”The devil officer replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.In the headquarters of the newly formed First Brigade of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, Chang De was discussing something with several commanders of the Eighth Route Army under his command.At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran in and said loudly: "Report to the brigade commander, the second wing of the Japanese army near Hulu Valley and other units have left Hulu Valley and rushed straight to Zhaojiayuan. ”Chang De couldn't help frowning when he heard this, groaned slightly, and then said with a serious face: "Report this matter to the headquarters immediately."
In addition, he ordered all troops along the way to harass the Japanese army and slow down the Japanese army's march.Immediately organize the nearby people to quickly evacuate Zhaojiayuan, the giant town. ”"Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order."
Report to the Brigadier."
At this time, another soldier of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "The 50th Wing of the Japanese Army near Niangzi Pass suddenly left Niangzi Pass and rushed straight to Zhaojiayuan. ”"Ma's" Changde couldn't help but scold, and then ordered with a serious face: "Order the defenders along the way, try to slow down the speed of the Japanese army, and buy time for the main force." ”"Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and left quickly."
Brigade commander, the little devil is here, are we just going to withdraw like this" At this time, an Eighth Route Army next to him couldn't help frowning and asked."
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, the little devil is coming, just beat his mother hard, you can't run away without letting go of a shot, that would be too embarrassing," another Eighth Route Army soldier also said.Chang De's eyes widened, and the guys were so frightened that they quickly closed their mouths, not daring to say anything more.Chang De snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, whether this battle should be fought or not, how to fight is not up to us, everything depends on the meaning of the headquarters, we only need to carry out the order." ”At the same time, the headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, after receiving Changde's report, immediately started a discussion on the current situation.Ma Zhenguo frowned and said with a serious face: "At present, the little devil has dispatched more than two wings of troops, nearly 10,000 people, and has attacked Zhaojiayuan and Jucheng Town in two ways, which can be described as menacing.And here we have only about one brigade of the newly formed 1st Brigade, so we can say that we do not have any advantage at all.So I don't think this battle can be fought. ”At this time, a young staff officer suddenly spoke: "I don't think so, although the little devils have an advantage in terms of strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with so many little devils with the newly formed First Brigade alone.However, with the combat effectiveness of the newly formed First Brigade, there is no problem in holding back this little devil for the time being.As long as the newly formed First Brigade can successfully hold back the little devils, we can immediately mobilize the new Second Brigade and the new Fourth Brigade to provide rapid support, and in addition, we can also request friendly forces from the Taiyue Military Region to assist us in the battle, concentrate superior forces on the periphery to carry out counter-encirclement of the little devils, and join forces with the new First Brigade to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”Ma Zhenguo shook his head and said: "What you said is easy, yes, we can mobilize troops to support the new first brigade, but the little devils can also mobilize troops to support."
According to the information we have now, the Japanese army is rushing to Niangzi Pass in a steady stream, and the main force of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army will all rush to the front line of Niangzi Pass today, and at the same time, the 46th Division and the 47th Division of the Japanese Army will also arrive at Niangzi Pass before this evening at the latest.If we start fighting in Zhaojiayuan, this group of little devils will immediately flock to Zhaojiayuan like a swarm, and then the little devils we will face are not just 10,000 people, it may be 20,000, or even 30,000 people.So we don't have any certainty of winning. ”Political Commissar Meng nodded, and said with a serious face: "What the chief of staff said is reasonable, this is tantamount to a decisive battle with the little devil in advance, I think the time is not ripe now, if the decisive battle with the little devil is carried out in advance, it will make our army fall into an extremely passive situation." ”aa2705221:
