Yoshimoto couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he naturally knew what Umezu Mijiro was worried about, in fact, from a military point of view, the 21st Division was a risky move, and once it succeeded, it would naturally be able to receive the effect of a surprise soldier, and now it is normal to fail and be surrounded.At this time, the mobilization of troops to rescue the 21st Division was of no military significance.What's more, the current 21st Division has suffered heavy losses, and if there is not one out of ten, it will lose the meaning of rescue.However, Umezu Mijiro had to rescue the 21st Division, and the higher the position, the more care there became.Umezu Mijiro is now the commander of the Kwantung Army, and he doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at his current position, so he can't leave a handle on anyone.What's more, the Kwantung Army's successive defeats have made Umezu Mijiro's current situation extremely embarrassing, and the base camp and the Japanese emperor are already dissatisfied with him, and in this case, Umezu Mijiro can't make any mistakes.Therefore, he can't bear this charge of death no matter what.Umezu Mijiro really wants to save the 21st Division, although there are not many people left in the 21st Division, but after all, this is related to the face of the Kwantung Army, and being severely damaged and completely annihilated is definitely not a concept.But he was also worried about the safety of the Hasegawa detachment and the Takata detachment, and if he lost his wife and broke the army, Umezu Mijiro would never do it.Umezu Mijiro's mind was spinning rapidly, hoping to think of a solution that would have the best of both worlds, but due to the severe lack of sleep, the old devil was dizzy at this time, and his brain was more like a solidified paste, which was obviously insufficient.Yoshimoto Sadachi is also thinking hard about good ideas, and at the same time, he has to constantly figure out Umezu Mijiro's thoughts, which is even more brain-wrenching.After pondering for a while, Umezu Mijiro suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency, Commander, in my humble opinion, I might as well order the Hasegawa detachment and the Takada detachment to take the initiative to attack the Dohachi Road on the line between Tayingzi and Wuhuanchi.This Tsuchihachi appeared here, and did not take the initiative to attack the Hasegawa detachment and the Takada detachment, obviously because of their insufficient forces.We can take advantage of this opportunity to defeat this Tuba Road first, so that we can also turn the passive into the active, and maybe we can break the Tuba Road on the southern front. ”Umezu Mijiro frowned and thought about it, nodded and said: "This proposal is not bad, but according to Hasegawa and Takada's report, the strength of this Eighth Route is about 20,000, and in terms of troops, the Imperial Army does not have an advantage" Yoshimoto Sadachi explained with a sneer: "The Eighth Route Army has always liked to bluff, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the southern front is only about 40,000 people in total, and their main force is still besieging the 21st Division in the Qinglong Mountain area.In yesterday's battle, more than 20,000 troops were invested in Tubalu, so their troops in Wuhuanchi and Tayingzi are probably not that much, at most only more than 10,000 people.With more than 20,000 imperial troops against more than 10,000 Tubalu, the imperial army still has a certain advantage. ”Yoshimoto Sadachi paused, and then said: "What's more, now that the battle on the northern front has shown a stalemate, the imperial army will not be able to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in a short period of time.In this case, the offensive on the northern front could have been temporarily suspended, although the forces of the northern front could not be transferred to the southern front in time.However, the Imperial Army's land aviation can fully support the Southern Front, so that the Imperial Army can occupy absolute air superiority on the Southern Front, and it may not be difficult to defeat this Tubarou. ”Umezu Mijiro frowned and thought about it, but he really couldn't think of any way for the time being, and finally nodded and said: "Yoshimoto-kun's plan is very good, just do what you say" "Your Excellency Commander Hai praised it, and I will go to convey the order. ”Yoshimoto replied respectfully, turned around and went to deliver the order himself.Umezu Mijiro looked at the back of Yoshimoto Sadachi's departure, and couldn't help but sigh softly, now that the situation has developed to this point, Umezu Mijiro is also deeply helpless, and then he can only hope for the blessing of Amaterasu.In the headquarters of the seventh column of the Eighth Route Army, Li Guotao stared at the sand table in front of him, frowned and said: "The Hasegawa detachment and the Gaotian detachment have gone south" "Hmm" Ma Zhenguo nodded and said: "It seems that these two detachments want to attack Wuhuanchi Town and Tayingzi Town. ”Li Guotao nodded and said: "Actually, it's not surprising, if these two little devils continue to advance in the direction of Qinglong Mountain and support the 21st Division, they will definitely fall into the encirclement of our army."
Now that most of the 21st Division has been annihilated, it is only a matter of time before it is completely annihilated.For Umezu Mijiro, this 21st Division has become chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.So he no longer had the guts to let the Hasegawa detachment and the Takata detachment take risks.These two little devils went south to attack Wuhuanchi and Tayingzi, if they were lucky, they might be able to defeat our army, even if they could not completely defeat our army, once the 21st Division was completely annihilated, they could continue to break through to the south, run to Fuxin, and rely on the city fortifications to continue to resist the attack of our army. ”Ma Zhenguo frowned and nodded: "You have to stop them, if you really let these two little devils escape to Fuxin, there will be endless troubles, but if our army can take advantage of this opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop, the main force of the southern front can be transferred north to assist the main force of the northern front to defeat the Japanese 1st Division and the 7th Division of the northern front." ”Li Guotao frowned and thought for a while, and then said with a serious face: "Now that the 21st Division only has 2,000 remnants left, there is a teaching brigade and a brigade to deal with them, and the second infantry brigade of the armored division can be completely withdrawn, and they can be ordered to immediately advance in the direction of Fuxin, interspersed with the northeast area of Fuxin, to prevent the Hasegawa detachment and the Takata detachment from breaking through in the direction of Fuxin." ”Li Guotao paused, and then ordered: "In addition, order the cavalry division, as well as the main force of the armored division, to stick to the line of Wuhuanchi and Tayingzi, no matter what, we must block the Japanese attack, and strive to annihilate these two little devils in the northeast area of Fuxin." ”"Yes" Ma Zhenguo responded respectfully, and hurriedly ordered a staff officer to convey the order, and then turned to Li Guotao and said: "What about the direction of Qinglong Mountain" Li Guotao glanced at the sand table and said with a serious face: "If the little devil has taken the bait, the 21st Division will lose its meaning to us, order the teaching brigade, concentrate the main force to launch a comprehensive general attack on the 21st Division, I will give them another day, before dark today, we must annihilate the 21st Division of the Japanese Army in one fell swoop." ”aa2705221:
