In the temporary headquarters of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army, Ma Zhenguo said to Li Guotao with a serious face: "At present, the main force of our Taiyue Military Region and the main force of the Jizhong Military Region have launched an attack on Niangzi Pass, and the war is progressing smoothly so far. ”Li Guotao nodded and said, "I only care about whether they can win the Niangzi Pass in time." ”"It should be no problem" Ma Zhenguo said with some uncertainty: "This time we have concentrated tens of thousands of troops, and there are not too many Japanese troops in Niangzi Pass, so there should be no problem."
The crux of the matter now should be whether the main force of the Japanese army can reinforce Niangziguan in time. ”Li Guotao smiled and said: "This little devil has been dragged by us for so long, and now he is already tired, unless they are all beaten with iron and support Niangzi Pass overnight, otherwise they can't save Niangzi Pass at all."
They are now almost two hundred miles away from Niangzi Pass, and most of the railways along the way have been destroyed, and we have destroyed all the trains in Shimen, and the Japanese army cannot mobilize enough train transport troops in a short period of time, so they can only take the road, and at the speed of the Japanese army, the distance of two hundred miles will take at least one day and one night.If they rest for the night today and leave early tomorrow morning, they will not be able to reach Niangziguan until the morning after tomorrow.And tonight our army will launch a continuous attack overnight, even if we can't take Niangzi Pass tonight, there will be a day tomorrow, which should be enough. ”Ma Zhenguo nodded, frowned and asked, "In that case, why don't you let the new Fourth Brigade assist the friendly forces to attack Niangzi Pass together, so that the chances of victory will be greater." ”Li Guotao shook his head and said: "The terrain around Niangziguan is narrow, and the army can't be used at all, so it doesn't matter if the new Fourth Brigade goes or not.Moreover, the new Fourth Brigade is now laying mines along the road from Niangziguan to Jingcheng County to build a defensive line, also just in case, if there is a Japanese army rushing to support, the new Fourth Brigade can also resist for a while. ”After Li Guotao finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "There is one more thing, immediately notify the special combat team, let them immediately start operations, destroy important bridges along the way, and do their best to delay the speed of the devils." ”Ma Zhenguo suddenly realized: "It turns out that you left the special combat team near Xinle, just for this I understand, I'll go and inform them." ”"You wait a minute."
Li Guotao waved his hand and said, "We also have to prepare to return to Niangzi Pass as soon as possible, and we must be in front of the little devil."
The little devils have more heavy equipment than us, so they can only choose to take the road, and we can take advantage of this to do some damage along the way, and drag the little devils as much as possible, not only the special combat team, but also the nearby militia guerrillas have received orders and will do their best to assist us.And we have relatively little heavy equipment, so we can choose to take the mountain road and rush back to Niangzi Pass as soon as possible.However, I am still a little worried that we will not be able to return to Niangzi Pass in time, so I plan to lead a vanguard force, advance lightly, and rush back to Niangzi Pass as quickly as possible, as for the main force of our army, you will lead it, and return to Niangzi Pass as soon as possible to make peace with us. ”"Okay then" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said, "Then when do you plan to set off and how many people do you want to bring." ”Li Guotao pondered for a while and said: "In addition to the cavalry brigade, one main regiment will be drawn from the new 1st Brigade and the 2nd New Brigade, and these troops should be enough.As for the time, I'll leave tomorrow at 3 a.m. ”"Well, I'll pass on the order at once."
Ma Zhenguo nodded, turned around and went to convey the order.Li Guotao looked up at the sky, at this time the sky had gradually darkened, sighed slightly, and said with emotion: "Success or failure is in this move." ”In the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army in Beiping, Tada Jun stared at the group of devil officers in front of him with a pair of dog eyes, and asked loudly: "Now that Niangzi Pass is besieged by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the situation is extremely critical, at this critical moment, don't you have any way to relieve the siege of Niangzi Pass" As soon as Tada Jun's voice fell, the scene immediately fell into silence.After a while, a little devil officer spoke: "Your Excellency, commander, for the sake of today's plan, only by ordering the 14th Division and other units to quickly support Niangzi Pass can the siege of Niangzi Pass be relieved."
Because there is no way to mobilize any troops in the vicinity to support Niangzi Pass. ”"Nonsense" Tada Jun couldn't help but scold.Obviously, this is not the answer Tada Jun wants, he has asked Kita Seiichiro before, hoping that they can return to help Niangzi Pass, but Kita Seiichiro refused, because now the 14th Division and other departments are exhausted, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and there is no strength to run more than 200 miles to support Niangzi Pass.Kasawara Yukio frowned, thought for a while, and then said seriously: "Your Excellency Commander, from the current situation, it can be judged that from the very beginning, we fell for the plan of the Chinese people to divert the tiger from the mountain, they captured Shimen, and then went north to besiege Dingzhou, threatening Quyang, and its purpose was only one that was to lure the main force of the imperial army to the north, and then waiting for an opportunity to besiege Niangzi Pass. ”Tada Jun glanced at Kasahara Yukio, frowned and said: "But I still can't figure out what the purpose of the Shina people to capture Niangzi Pass is" Kasahara Yukio replied with a serious face: "I just thought about it for a while, and I think that the purpose of the Shina people to capture Niangzi Pass is nothing more than two.The first is that the people of China attacked Niangzi Pass, not to capture Niangzi Pass, but to lure the imperial army to support Niangzi Pass, and then the people of China will definitely have further actions, attack Baoding or other places, lure the imperial army to save, make the imperial army exhausted, and finally drag the imperial army down. ”Tada Jun frowned and thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "What you said has some truth, in this case, we can send a part of our troops back to Niangzi Pass, and leave half of our troops to monitor the movements of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army." ”"No, in this way, it will be the trick of the Chinese people, and once the imperial army divides the troops, it will just give the Chinese people a chance to break through."
Yukio Kasahara said helplessly."
These hateful people of Bagaya Road are really cunning."
Tada Jun frowned and said, "Then there is no way" "Yes, unless reinforcements are mobilized from other places to support." ”Yukio Kasahara said respectfully."
Other places, where are the other places you say worth it," Tada Jun asked with a serious face.The North China Dispatch Army was defeated in successive battles, losing troops and losing generals, although it was constantly replenished, but the troops were not sufficient, and Tada Jun really couldn't think of where he could still draw troops out.aa2705221:
