After hearing this, Tada's brows furrowed even deeper, and he lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.Yukio Kasawara also fell silent and stopped talking.He has already said what he should say, and he has fulfilled his duties as chief of staff, and then it will be up to Commander Tada Jun to make his own choice.Tada Jun was really embarrassed in his heart, to be honest, he really wanted to give up the eighth wing of Niangziguan directly.After a series of previous events and today's battle situation, Tada Jun has truly seen how much of a wretched division this wretched division is, troops like this are simply a disgrace to the imperial army, their existence has no effect except to disgrace the imperial army, and it may not be a bad thing to abandon them now and let them fend for themselves.However, such a thought was only a flash in Tada's heart, and it quickly disappeared.Because the Eighth Wing had to be saved, it was not the thousands of Japanese soldiers who had to be saved at Niangzi Pass, but the Eighth Wing.The other three wings of the Fourth Division have all been annihilated, and if the Eighth Wing of Niangzi Pass and other units are also annihilated, the entire Fourth Division will be completely annihilated, whether it is politically or militarily, this matter is a big blow to the Japanese army, and it will make the Japanese army and even the Japanese Empire humiliate, which is definitely not the result that Tada Jun wants to see.And if he doesn't save the Eighth Wing, someone will sue him in the base camp, and I'm afraid no one will be able to protect him at that time.So both for Japan and for himself, the 8th Wing had to be rescued.Thinking of this, Tada Jun couldn't help but sigh deeply and said, "The imperial army has been defeated in successive battles, and it can't bear any defeat. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."
Yukio Kasawara replied respectfully and didn't say anything more, but he had already roughly guessed Tada's decision.Sure enough, Tada Jun slapped the table and stood up directly, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, his eyes became firm again, and he ordered with a serious face: "Order the independent fourth mixed brigade, the independent eighth mixed brigade, and immediately assemble and rush to help Niangzi Pass."
The 14th Division, the 46th Division, and the 47th Division were ordered to temporarily suspend the operational plan for the counterattack on northern Jinbei and rush to the aid of Niangzi Pass.Inform Kita Seiichiro that this time he will not only rescue the encircled imperial army, but also find ways to annihilate the main force of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."
Yukio Kasahara replied respectfully."
In addition, order the rest of the Fourth Division to guard Niangzi Pass and wait for reinforcements, no matter what, you must hold out until reinforcements arrive."
Tada continued."
Hai" Yukio Kasahara responded respectfully, and hurriedly turned around and ran to convey the order.That night, on a hillside on the east side of Niangzi Pass, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army cleared a vacant lot, which was filled with seats and benches.As the night deepened, more and more people gathered here, and soon twenty or thirty people gathered, all of whom were senior generals of the Taiyue Military Region of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army.At about eight o'clock in the evening, Li Guotao and Political Commissar Meng accompanied Commander Chen and others of the Taiyue Military Region to the venue, and several people walked to their positions and sat down with a smile.Li Guotao glanced at the attendees, and saw that someone was slapping the mosquitoes around him in his hands, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Haha, there are too many mosquitoes in this mountain this season, I hope everyone can overcome it." ”Commander Chen smiled and said, "Check that everyone is here, if so, then let's have a meeting" "Report to the commander, all the participants have arrived." ”At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army spoke.Commander Chen nodded with satisfaction, turned around and glanced at Li Guotao, Li Guotao nodded with a smile, and motioned for Commander Chen to speak first.Commander Chen was not polite, and said with a smile: "Today's battle can be described as a complete victory, in just one day, we wiped out three infantry wings of the Fourth Division and one unit directly under the division, annihilated more than 16,000 Japanese troops, and created a brilliant victory.In this battle, the seventh column of our Eighth Route Army played a vital role, it was they who annihilated most of the enemy, and it can be said that without them, we would never have achieved such a brilliant victory. ”Li Guotao said with a humble face: "Commander Chen's words are serious, if the brother troops of the Taiyue Military Region cooperated, our Seventh Column would not have succeeded in annihilating the 37th Wing and the 61st Wing of the Japanese Army. ”"Haha," Commander Chen said with a smile: "Guotao, I don't think we need to say these polite words here, let's go straight to the point, lest everyone feed the mosquitoes together here." ”"Okay," Li Guotao nodded.Commander Chen continued: "Today, we are not holding this meeting to celebrate.Because the battle is not over yet, there are still thousands of little devils in Niangzi Pass, and the purpose of our meeting is to discuss how to expand the results of the battle and annihilate the thousands of little devils hiding in Niangzi Pass. ”"What else is there to discuss, launch an attack immediately tomorrow morning, take Niangzi Pass directly, and destroy them.Our Taiyue Military Region and the Seventh Column have now gathered nearly 100,000 troops, even if Niangzi Pass is an impregnable wall, we can smash him through. ”At this time, a commander of the Eighth Route Army stood up and said loudly with an excited face.Commander Chen glared at the guy dissatisfied, so frightened that the guy immediately sat down and didn't dare to speak.Li Guotao said with a smile: "Judging from the current situation, as long as our army attacks Niangzi Pass, there will be almost no accidents to take Niangzi Pass."
But what we want to discuss today is whether to beat the Niangzi Pass and what to do after the Niangzi Pass is called over today, just to brainstorm and discuss it together. ”"Of course we have to fight, as long as we defeat Niangzi Pass, the entire Fourth Division will be wiped out by us, which will deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army in terms of morale.Even politically, it will achieve extraordinary influence, after all, this Fourth Division is the standing division of the Japanese army, and there is no precedent for any standing division to be annihilated before, and now that the main force of the Fourth Division has been annihilated by us, we must not miss the opportunity. ”A commander of the Eighth Route Army stood up and said impassionedly.After everyone listened, most of them nodded slightly in agreement.But there are also a small number of people, frowning, who seem to disagree on this.aa2705221:
