The adjutant was frightened and stammered, "I don't know about this and this lowly position. ”"Yaga" Shikawa Jiro scolded angrily and pushed the adjutant to the ground.Hurriedly dressed and hurried to the headquarters.At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the headquarters, and many of them had just been woken up like Shikawa Jiro, and after such a big incident, the little devils were all frowning, and a trace of sadness appeared on their faces.Shichuan Erlang glanced at everyone, snorted coldly, strode to the front of the map, and asked with a serious face: "Who can tell me now who attacked Fanzhi County" As soon as Shichuan Erlang's voice fell, the scene immediately fell into silence, and all the devil officers honestly lowered their heads."
Yaga, a bunch of waste," Togawa Jiro scolded angrily.Finally, a devil officer stood up and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Imperial Army had received news that the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army near Niangzi Pass had suddenly disappeared and its whereabouts were unknown.It is suspected that it was the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Fanzhi County. ”"It's impossible, Niangzi Pass is hundreds of miles away from Fanzhi County, can those dirt roads fly, and they can actually reach Fanzhi County in such a short time," Shichuan Jiro shook his head and said.However, there is no other main force of the Eighth Route in the area around Fanzhi County, and the county seat of Fanzhi has been lost in such a short period of time, so it is obvious that this army must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and it is by no means an ordinary Eighth Route Army.Therefore, in addition to this seventh column, I really can't think of any other Eighth Route Army that can take down Fanzhi County. ”The devil officer hurriedly explained.Shikawa Jiro couldn't help frowning, and said to himself: "If it is really the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army, it will be troublesome." ”At this time, another devil officer spoke: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, now that Fanzhi County has been lost, there is no point in pursuing responsibility or investigating who attacked Fanzhi County.He thought that the loss of Fanzhi County would cut off the retreat of the imperial army, and the logistics supply of the imperial army was already difficult, and now the loss of Fanzhi County would be even more dangerous.A few days ago, the 14th Division and other units suffered a crushing defeat at Niangzi Pass, and one of the main reasons was that the logistics supply line of the imperial army was cut off, which led to the logistical supply difficulties of the imperial army on the front line, and it was almost to the point of running out of ammunition and food, otherwise the main force of the imperial army of the three divisions would not be so easily annihilated by the Eighth Route Army. ”Shichuan Jiro's brows furrowed even deeper, hesitated for a moment, and ordered with a serious face: "Immediately send an order to all troops on the front line to prepare to launch an attack on the Xinkou defense line, and strive to break through the Xinkou defense line in one fell swoop." ”At this time, a devil officer spoke: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, if the imperial army cannot break through the Xinkou defense line as soon as possible, it is likely to fall into the encirclement of the Tuba Road, I hope Your Excellency will think twice." ”"Hmph" Shichuan Erlang snorted coldly and said: "So we must break through the blockade of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible and make peace with the Taiyuan Imperial Army in order to ensure that we are invincible, do you think we have other ways to go" As soon as Shichuan Erlang's voice fell, all the devil officers present fell silent.Togawa Jiro glanced at everyone, and then said: "Immediately carry out the order, the headquarters will prepare to transfer immediately, I will personally rush to the front line and command my heroic Imperial Japanese Army to break through the defense line of the Shina people." ”"Hai" The devil officers present responded in unison.Early the next morning, Li Guotao left a reinforced battalion to stay in Fanzhi County, and then led the main force to attack Dai County.Li Guotao rode on horseback and quickly advanced forward with the large army.At this time, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army galloped on a horse, saw Li Guotao's back from a distance, and shouted loudly, "Commander" Li Guotao heard the shout, and quickly grabbed the reins and stopped on the side of the road, and soon the Eighth Route Army soldier behind him chased up, and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the headquarters is in an emergency" Li Guotao hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the telegram, read it carefully, handed it to Ma Zhenguo next to him, and sighed softly and said: "Early this morning, the Japanese army launched an attack on our Xinkou defense line, The battle was fierce.The headquarters ordered us to seize Daixian as soon as possible, launch an attack on the Japanese army from behind, and respond to the defenders of Xinkou. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said: "It seems that the friendly forces on the Xinkou side must be under a lot of pressure, so the headquarters will urge our army to take Dai County as soon as possible." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said: "After Shichuan Erlang learned the news of the loss of Fanzhi, he must have also realized their current danger, so they can only break through our army's defense line at all costs and make peace with the Taiyuan defenders as soon as possible." ”Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "Things are a little bad, if the Xinkou defense line is broken through by the Japanese army, it will be troublesome." ”"So we have to take Dai County as soon as possible and inform the troops to speed up."
Li Guotao said with a serious face."
Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and hurriedly ordered someone to convey the order.At this moment, another signal soldier of the Eighth Route Army rushed over on horseback, and said loudly with a respectful face: "Report to the commander, Political Commissar Meng is in an emergency." ”As he spoke, he took out a telegram from his briefcase and handed it over respectfully.Li Guotao took the telegram and read it carefully, turned to Ma Zhenguo and said, "Political Commissar Meng has already led his troops to Longquan Pass. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and said with a serious face: "I think I can let them immediately move west to Wutai Mountain and threaten the flank of the Japanese army, so as to reduce the pressure on the friendly forces on the frontal battlefield." ”"That's what I thought too."
Li Guotao nodded and said, "Immediately notify Political Commissar Meng and ask him to immediately lead his troops westward and advance in the direction of Xinkou." ”"Yes," the correspondent replied respectfully, and turned to run off to deliver the order.Under Li Guotao's order, the troops accelerated their advance and arrived at Dai County in the afternoon of the same day.After two hours of rest and preparation, the Eighth Route Army immediately launched an attack on Daixian.In the rumbling sound of the cannon, the cannonballs flew towards the devil's position with a piercing whistling sound, and in a violent explosion, the devil's position immediately fell into a sea of fire.The Eighth Route Army concentrated all its artillery fire and began to bombard the Japanese positions in Dai County.Li Guotao held the binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield, nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered with a serious face: "Order the infantry to attack immediately" "Yes" A communication soldier next to him responded respectfully and hurriedly ran to convey the order.aa2705221:
