Kasawara Yukio said with a respectful face: "The terrain around Shimen is flat, which is conducive to the battle of large corps.Judging from the current situation, the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army is not in a hurry to withdraw from Shimen, which also gives us an opportunity.If the imperial army can encircle the seventh column in the area of Shimen at this time, it will definitely be able to annihilate it in one fell swoop. ”Tada Jun nodded slightly when he heard this, thinking that this was indeed an opportunity.Kasawara Yukio glanced at Tada Jun's expression, and then said: "Today's Eighth Route Army, the strongest combat effectiveness is this seventh column, if we can eliminate the seventh column in one fell swoop, the other Tu Eighth Routes are not afraid at all, and then the imperial army will counterattack Jinbei, Chahar and even Suiyuan, and will definitely succeed in one fell swoop." ”"Yo Xi" Tada Jun nodded with satisfaction and said: "Kasahara-kun is right, this is indeed a rare opportunity, if this seventh column is hiding in the Taihang Mountains, with the cunning of the eight roads, it is indeed not easy for us to annihilate it in one fell swoop."
And now they actually took the initiative to run to Shimen, and after capturing Shimen, they did not flee immediately, but they themselves found death, we can take this opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop and get rid of this henchman. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."
Yukio Kasahara replied respectfully."
The people of China captured the stone gate, but they did not flee immediately, with their current strength, they have no ability to defend the stone gate at all, and they doubt that there will be any conspiracy here."
At this time, a devil officer suddenly spoke."
Conspiracy, what else can they conspiracy," Tada asked, frowning."
I don't know about this lowly position."
The devil officer said with a look of shame."
Hmph" Tada Jun snorted coldly, and looked at Yukio Kasawara expectantly, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from him.Kasawara Yukio frowned and thought for a while, and then said with a serious face: "I think that the reason why the Eighth Route Army is not in a hurry to evacuate Shimen is because they have been running for a long time, and the soldiers are already exhausted.Second, because they finally captured Shimen, an important town in North China, and they were not willing to give up easily, there should be no conspiracy.What's more, as long as the imperial army concentrates its forces to besiege the Eighth Route Army in Shimen, even if they have any conspiracy, they will not be able to threaten the safety of the imperial army at all. ”Tada Jun frowned and nodded, thinking that the Japanese army at Niangziguan had about 70,000 troops, as long as he was careful, even if the Eighth Route Army had any conspiracy, it would not have the strength to eat the 70,000 troops of the Japanese army in one bite, thinking of this, Tada Jun immediately said with a serious face: "Immediately notify the 14th Division and other departments, immediately rush to Shimen, surround the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army in the area of Shimen, and then encircle and annihilate it."
In addition, the imperial army near Shimen was notified to closely monitor the movements of the Eighth Route Army, and if the Eighth Route Army had the intention of fleeing, it must be blocked with all its strength to prevent the Eighth Route from escaping. ”"Your Excellency Commander Hai is wise."
Yukio Kasawara responded respectfully, and then turned to deliver the order.After receiving Tada Jun's order, the 14th Division of the Japanese Army and other units immediately rushed to Niangzi Pass, marched eastward along the Zhengtai Railway, and quickly supported Shimen.In order to buy enough time for the seventh column, Commander Chen ordered the troops to block the troops and block the little devils at all costs."
Kill it," a devil officer shouted loudly with a command knife in a hoarse voice.More than a thousand little devils immediately rushed towards our positions with bayonets and screams."
The brethren fought with the little devils."
Seeing that the little devil had rushed up, a commander of the Eighth Route Army pulled out the big knife at his waist and rushed out directly with a roar.The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the "kill" position also broke out with a burst of shouting and killing, and they all held bayonets and brandished machetes and rushed towards the little devils.The two armies immediately collided fiercely and fought to the death.The battle was extremely fierce, people fell down almost every minute and every second, and the ground was soon covered with corpses, including little devils and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.Life is worthless here, and war is so cruel and merciless.But the soldiers on both sides did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and still fought bravely.The little devils who have been poisoned by militarism are for the glory of the so-called imperial army and for the hegemony of the empire.In order to defend this disaster-ridden motherland and to protect the hundreds of millions of compatriots behind them, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were willing to sacrifice their most precious lives for this reason.On a hillside in the distance, Commander Chen held a telescope to watch this scene, couldn't help frowning, sighed softly and said: "The combat effectiveness of this 14th Division is indeed not weak, and it is worthy of being the standing division of the Japanese army. ”"yes, we won't last long at all this afternoon."
The political commissar standing next to him said with a worried face."
If you can't hold on, you have to persevere, we have to hold the little devil for at least a day."
Commander Chen said with a firm face."
Hmm" the political commissar nodded and said, "Fortunately, we have arranged three lines of defense, otherwise I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out for a day anyway." ”While the two were talking, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army suddenly ran over in a hurry and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the Japanese offensive is too fierce, and our army has suffered heavy casualties.Brigade Commander Wang asked for instructions on whether to retreat temporarily, retreat to the next line of defense, and continue to block the little devils. ”Commander Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, shook his head with a firm face and said, "No, inform Brigade Commander Wang, I don't care what method they use, let them hold on for another half an hour, and then retreat after half an hour." ”"Yes," the Eighth Route Army soldier replied respectfully, turned around and ran to deliver the order.The commissar couldn't help frowning slightly, and his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.To be honest, seeing so many excellent soldiers sacrificed, the political commissar felt very uncomfortable.Commander Chen naturally knew the thoughts of this old fellow, turned around and glanced at the political commissar, sighed softly and said, "We must do our best to delay time now, if our final plan can be realized, all the sacrifices today will be worth it."
At this point, we have no other choice. ”"Hmm," the commissar nodded deeply.aa2705221:
