Li Guotao smiled and nodded, and said: "Encirclement and reinforcement, you said that if we don't eliminate this 21st Division for the time being, Umezu Mijiro will send that force to support the 21st Division." ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and thought about it for a while, and then said with a serious face: "I estimate that there should be a detachment of troops from the Hasegawa detachment and the Takada detachment to rush to the rescue." ”"Hmph, a detachment, that is, to deliver food to us, if so, it is even better, we can just eliminate them one by one."
Li Guotao said with a sneer.Ma Zhenguo frowned and asked: "You mean that Umezu Mijiro will transfer all these two detachments to support the 21st Division" Li Guotao nodded, and then shook his head, obviously a little hesitant in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "In fact, for the Japanese army, the best way is to directly abandon this 21st Division and concentrate the main force to continue to attack Tongliao."
But what we don't know for sure now is whether Umezu Mijiro has the courage to give up the 21st Division, this is a division, but even if he sends troops to rescue the 21st Division, he may not be able to save it, I think Umezu Mijiro at this time must have more headaches than us. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned, he finally understood Li Guotao's worries, and after thinking about it, he said: "If we encircle the point and send reinforcements, we don't destroy this 21st Division for the time being, then if the devils don't come to reinforce and continue to storm Tongliao, then we won't waste our time in vain." ”"Hmm" Li Guotao nodded and said, "This is what I'm most worried about, if we eliminate the 21st Division as soon as possible."
Subsequently, the armored division, cavalry division and other units advanced in the direction of Zhangwu, which could assist the newly formed 1st Division in destroying the Hasegawa detachment and the Takada detachment.But after the little devil learned the news that the 21st Division was completely annihilated, the Hasegawa detachment and the Takada detachment would inevitably prepare in advance, retreat to Zhangwu County and even directly retreat to Xinmin, so that if our army wants to eliminate this little devil, it will not be so easy, and the Japanese 1st Division and the 7th Division in the north and northeast are attacking fiercely, especially the Nurimu defense line, which can block the little devil for such a long time, it is not easy to say.Once one line of defense is breached, our army will face the danger of rout on all fronts. ”After Li Guotao finished speaking, he fell silent, frowning, as if he was thinking about something, and Ma Zhenguo stopped talking, as if he was afraid of interrupting Li Guotao's train of thought.After a while, Li Guotao's eyes gradually became firm, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We can only bet to notify Lao Yang immediately and slow down the offensive temporarily."
Encirclement and reinforcements. ”"But what if the little devil is not fooled," Ma Zhenguo asked with a worried face.Li Guotao sighed softly and said, "Whether the little devil will be fooled or not, I will know tonight."
If the little devil is not fooled, we will launch a general attack tonight and destroy the 21st Division of the Japanese Army in one fell swoop, so that we will waste half a day at most. ”"Okay, I'll go and inform Deputy Commander Yang."
Ma Zhenguo nodded, then turned around and walked in the direction of the confidential room.Li Guotao raised the cigarette in his hand, took another puff, slowly spit out a puff of white mist, and asked casually: "How is the situation on the side of the new Fourth Division?"
"Report to the commander, I just received a telegram from Division Commander Yang that Nurimu Town has been lost, and at present, our army has all retreated to the hilly area northwest of Nurimu Town, relying on the local terrain to resist the Japanese attack. ”A staff officer of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly replied.Li Guotao couldn't help frowning, and ordered with a serious face: "Immediately inform Yang Erhu to stick to the existing position, and you must not take half a step back, otherwise military law will be engaged." ”"Yes," the staff officer replied respectfully, and hurriedly went to convey the order.In the front command of the new Fourth Division, Yang Erhu shouted loudly into the phone: "I don't want to listen to these excuses, the commander has already given us a death order, and we must not take half a step back, if you dare to lose your position to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will shoot you." ”After Yang Erhu finished speaking, he hung up the phone angrily.The newly formed 4th Division, with the strength of one division, resisted the onslaught of the Japanese 7th Division, an integrated division, plus a brigade of the puppet army, and the pressure on the divisions of the Eighth Route Army was the heaviest.If it was only an attack by ground forces, the newly formed Fourth Division could completely withstand it.The Japanese fighters were also like flies, rushing to bomb from time to time, causing great casualties to our troops.Yang Erhu had no choice but to keep shrinking the defensive line and resisting the fierce attack of the Japanese army.But the little devil's offensive was fierce round after round, and it didn't give our army any respite at all.At this time, Yang Dashan was leading his soldiers to stick to the top of a dirt mountain, where the Eighth Route Army had built complete fortifications before, and with the help of these fortifications, it was finally able to block the attack of the devils.Yang Dashan and the others were facing the strength of a large brigade of the Japanese army, and they had held on here for more than three hours, and had repelled three fierce attacks by the Japanese army.There were more than 200 corpses of little devils piled up under the position, but the losses of Yang Dashan and his company were not small, more than 150 people in a company, and now there were only more than 80 people left, and half of the troops were lost."
The company commander, the little devil, seems to be attacking again."
A soldier of the Eighth Route Army looked at the little devil below and frowned and shouted loudly.Yang Dashan also noticed this, and couldn't help frowning when he looked at the more than three hundred little devils below who had already put on an offensive formation.Then he said loudly: "Brothers, prepare to avoid artillery" After fighting with the little devil for so long, Yang Dashan had already figured out the routine on the other side, and came up to first bombard, and then launched an attack.Yang Dashan gave an order, and the soldiers hid in the anti-artillery holes, and only a few soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were responsible for observing were left on the position.Sure enough, after two or three minutes, the rumbling sound of artillery rang out on the Japanese position, and the shells flew over with a piercing whistling sound, blowing up patches of artillery smoke and dust.Yang Dashan also hurriedly ran into his company, the so-called company headquarters is actually a relatively large anti-artillery hole, which is equipped with two telephones, and the party can contact other troops at any time."
The phone number of the company commander and the regimental commander."
The communication soldier turned to Yang Dashan and shouted loudly.Yang Dashan hurriedly walked over, took the phone, and said with a serious face: "Regiment Commander, I am Yang Dashan, please rest assured, as long as I Yang Dashan is here, the little devil does not want to step on the position for half a step, what artillery support needs Thank you Regiment Commander" Yang Dashan hung up the phone as he spoke.aa2705221:
