At the same time, at the headquarters of the 8th Division in Chifeng, the two infantry wings of the 8th Division had been assembled, and the division commander Masaki Honda was preparing to personally lead the troops to support the 23rd Division in the paddock."
Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, I just received news that in the northeast area of the Wengniute Banner, two cavalry wings and two chariot brigades of the Imperial Army were defeated by the Eighth Route Army, and now the main force of the Eighth Route Army is coming towards Chifeng."
The devil officer said with a panicked expression."
How could Nani be like this, isn't there only one cavalry division of the Eighth Route Army in the north," Honda Masasai asked loudly with a shocked expression."
Report to Your Excellency the division commander, the previous information is wrong, the Eighth Route Army not only has a cavalry division, but also a large-scale armored force, estimated to have about three hundred tanks and armored vehicles, or even more.The imperial army was caught off guard, and was defeated by the Eighth Route Army at once, more than 2,000 imperial warriors were shattered on the spot, the two chariot brigades were wiped out, and the two cavalry wings were also lost, leaving only two or three hundred people who were retreating in the direction of Chifeng. ”The devil officer hurriedly explained."
More than 300 tanks in the armored forces, are you sure you're not wrong?"
asked Honda Masako, grabbing the devil officer's collar and asking loudly."
The front line did report like this, as for the specific situation, I don't know."
The devil officer was so frightened that a spirit hurriedly replied."
Baga" Honda Masako scolded angrily, pushed the devil officer to the ground, and couldn't help frowning deeply, if the news is true, then the Eighth Route Army will inevitably take the opportunity to attack Chifeng, and the situation is quite bad.Honda Masasai thought about it, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately notify the army aviation and ask them to send aviation to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, I need to get the confirmed news as soon as possible."
In addition, bombers must be sent to bomb the Eighth Route Army to the north, and it is better to blow up all those hateful Chariot units of China. ”"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the planes at the airport have been blown up by the planes of the Eighth Route Army," a devil officer couldn't help but remind."
Baga" Honda Masako roared angrily, kicked the kind-hearted little devil to the ground, and roared loudly: "I use you to remind Chifeng, Chaoyang, and even Lingyuan's planes have been blown up, but Shenyang, Shanhaiguan and the imperial army's fighters, can't they provide us with air support, you complete idiot." ”"Hai" The devil officer hurriedly got up, didn't dare to say more, and quickly responded respectfully, turned around and ran to convey the order."
In addition, immediately inform Your Excellency Commander Umezu Mijiro of this news, and ask Your Excellency the Commander to immediately send troops to support Chifeng."
Honda Masasai then ordered."
Hail" another devil officer was ordered to leave.At this time, another devil officer suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency the division commander, now that the situation has changed, what should I do about the paddock?"
Immediately inform Lieutenant General Nishihara Kanji and tell them about this situation, we can't send troops to support them for the time being, so that they can hold on as much as possible, and if they can't hold on, they will withdraw to Chifeng, and they must be fast," Honda Masato said with an urgent expression."
Hai" The devil officer responded respectfully, and hurriedly ran to convey the order."
Immediately send orders to all troops, immediately rush to all defensive positions, restore the fortifications of the city, and block the attack of the Eighth Route Army no matter what."
Honda Masasai ordered with a serious face."
Hai" The rest of the devil officers responded in unison, and then ran to convey the order."
Eight Ga Ya Road, these abominable dirt eight roads."
Honda Masako gritted his teeth and scolded loudly.In the paddock, the headquarters of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army, Nishihara Kanji was anxious like an ant on a hot pot at this time, constantly walking back and forth in the headquarters.At this time, a little devil hurriedly ran in, and said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the East Road is about 30,000 or 40,000 people, and it has broken through the defense line of the imperial army, and has now reached Chaoyangwan Town" "How could the Nani Imperial Army be defeated so miserably, what is that idiot doing in the mountain pass." ”Kanji Nishihara couldn't help but scolded loudly."
Your Excellency, Yamaguchi Osa has been shattered," the devil officer said cautiously."
It's over" Nishihara Kanji was stunned for a moment, sat down on the chair with a slump of his ass, and said with a desperate face: "Our 23rd Division is completely finished this time, and now we can only hope that the Eighth Division will come to support as soon as possible, otherwise we may have to break all the jade here" At this moment, a devil officer ran over, lowered his head and said loudly: "Your Excellency the Commander of the Reporting Division, Your Excellency the Commander of the Honda Division has just sent a telegram that the Eighth Route Army on the North Road has defeated the cavalry wing and chariot troops of the Imperial Army, and is currently advancing towards Chifeng, Chifeng is in critical condition.Therefore, the 8th Division was temporarily unable to support our division, and His Excellency the Honda Division Commander suggested that if we could not hold the position, we could retreat in the direction of Chifeng, make peace with the 8th Division, and jointly defend Chifeng. ”"Nani" Nishihara Kanji asked loudly with a surprised face: "How can this be" The devil officer said: "It is said that the Eighth Route Army on the North Road not only has only one cavalry division, but also a large number of armored troops, according to preliminary estimates, there are about three hundred tanks and armored vehicles, and His Excellency the Honda Division Commander suspects that there may be infantry of the Eighth Route Army behind, so "Okay, no need to say more" Nishihara Kanji unceremoniously interrupted the devil's words.At this time, the chief of staff suddenly said: "Your Excellency the division commander, now the front line is critical, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, and our 23rd Division alone cannot hold the enclosure at all, so let's retreat quickly" "I want to retreat, but the Eighth Route Army has already hit Chaoyangwan Town, cutting off the road for our army to retreat to Chifeng, how can we retreat."
And now that the Eighth Route Army is on the offensive, once it retreats, it is likely to lead to the collapse of the whole front, and when the time comes, the people of China will take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and it is a question of whether we can escape back to Chifeng. ”Nishihara Kanji said with a look of despair."
Then what should we do, now that the imperial army has no reinforcements, we have only a dead end if we stay here."
The chief of staff said with a frown and a look of embarrassment.Nishihara Kanji couldn't help but sigh deeply and said: "The matter has come to this, we can only pray for the blessing of Amaterasu, if the reinforcements arrive in time and defeat the Eighth Route Army besieging Chifeng, we still have a way to live, otherwise we can only be here, loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and immediately send the order, and the troops will continue to shrink the defensive line, with the county seat of Weiba County as the center, and wait for reinforcements." ”aa2705221:
