Kunizaki Noboru never imagined that the offensive of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce, and the Japanese army in charge of the broken rear could not stop the offensive of the Eighth Route Army at all.Pursued by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army fled all the way and was extremely embarrassed, and soon rushed to the vicinity of Xinhe.Noboru Kunisaki hurried to the front line.A devil officer next to him said with a respectful face: "Your Excellency the division commander, Xinhe has been occupied by the Eighth Route Road, and the First Division is storming Xinhe and holding back the main force of the Eighth Route Army. ”Kunizaki Deng couldn't help frowning, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Despite this, the Eighth Route Army behind is chasing too closely, they will never give us time to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army, once surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, our entire Seventh Division will be finished." ”"What does Your Excellency the Division Commander mean," the devil officer asked, frowning.Kunizaki Noboru asked with a serious face: "Do you think it is possible for us to bypass the defense line of the Shina people" The devil officer hurriedly replied: "You can bypass the defense line of the Eighth Route Road from the north, at this time, the Eighth Route Army of Xinhe has been pinned down, and there is no energy to intercept the imperial army at all."
However, if we took a detour, we would have to walk about twenty miles more, and the roads to the north were all small roads, which were rough and difficult, which would inevitably affect the speed of the troops' march. ”Kunizaki Deng snorted coldly and said: "The path is difficult, it has an impact on the imperial army, doesn't it affect the Eighth Road of the earth, the north is a hilly area, the path is rugged and difficult, we can also take advantage of the terrain to block the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army."
It's just an extra twenty miles, and at the speed of the imperial army, even a small road of three hours is enough, and as long as we meet with the 1st Division, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”"Your Excellency the Commander of the Hai Division" The devil officer thought about it and felt that there was some truth, so he replied respectfully."
Yo Xi immediately carry out the order, immediately turn to the northwest, bypass the defense line of the Xinhe Eighth Route Army, and make peace with the First Division as soon as possible.Now the situation is very unfavorable to the imperial army, and if it is delayed for one more minute, the imperial army will be in more danger. ”Kunizaki said with a serious face."
Hai" The devil officer responded respectfully, and quickly turned around to convey the order.Kunizaki gave an order, and the little devil immediately began to turn and quickly retreated to the north.After the Eighth Route Army in Xinhe detected this situation, it immediately informed the headquarters of the news."
Commander, the little devil suddenly turned around and fled north, probably trying to bypass our army's defense line from the north."
Yang Erhu held a telegram in his hand and said with a serious face.After receiving such a telegram, Yang Erhu was mixed.Fortunately, the Japanese army did not attack Xinhe, and if the Japanese army attacked Xinhe on both sides, the main brigade of the newly formed 4th Division in Xinhe would probably be defeated by the Japanese army in one fell swoop.The worry is that if the Japanese army bypasses Xinhe, it is very likely to succeed in making peace with the 1st Division, so that our army's intention to completely annihilate the 7th Division will be frustrated."
What little devil fled north," Li Guotao couldn't help frowning."
Hmm" Yang Erhu nodded with a serious face.Li Guotao sighed softly, lowered his head and looked at the sand table in front of him carefully, thought for a while, and then said with a serious face: "Since the little devil did not retreat according to the route we envisioned, then we must also adjust the deployment."
Immediately order the main force of the newly formed 1st Division to continue the pursuit of the defeated 7th Division.All units of the new 3rd Division and the 4th Division were ordered to cooperate with the defenders of Xinhe to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese 1st Division, striving to defeat the Japanese army west of Xinhe in one fell swoop. ”Yang Erhu, who was looking down at the sand table, heard this, a light flashed in front of him, and he said excitedly: "Commander is smart, I'll go and convey the order." ”said that he was in a hurry and ran to deliver the order.A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Guotao's mouth, staring at the sand table and muttering to himself: "Hmph, if you want to escape, how can it be so easy" The Japanese army fled from Xinhe to the north, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army immediately chased to Xinhe, and then received Li Guotao's order.Deputy Commander Li Changsheng, who was in charge of front-line command operations, immediately ordered the troops to be divided into two routes.At this time, the Japanese 1st Division still launched a fierce attack on our Xinhe defense line, in order to contain our army's strength and prevent our army from dividing its forces to block and defeat the retreating 7th Division, and the battle was extremely tragic, but under the stubborn resistance of our army, the Japanese army was never able to break through our army's defense line.The main force of the new 4th Division of the Eighth Route Army arrived first, and then cooperated with the defenders of Xinhe to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese army, and soon the new 3rd Division also arrived at the battlefield and quickly entered the battle.The 1st Division of the Japanese Army near Xinhe had only one reinforced wing, more than 4,000 men, and after a fierce battle, now there are only more than 3,000 people left, and the Japanese attack has failed, and the spirit has been lost.In the face of the fierce counterattack of our two main divisions and tens of thousands of troops, the little devil lasted less than half an hour and was completely defeated.Li Changsheng immediately ordered his troops to continue to pursue the rout of the 1st Division to the west, and promptly reported the situation at the front to Li Guotao.Li Guotao took the telegram in his hand, looked down at the sand table in front of him, and said excitedly: "Great, really good" Li Guotao looked at the sand table and thought about it, and then ordered with a serious face: "Immediately order the new Third Division to draw out a brigade of troops and intersperse it from Tuanjie Township to the northwest to intercept the defeated Seventh Division."
The main force of the new 3rd Division, together with the new 4th Division, continued to attack the flank of the 1st Japanese Division to the west, and cooperated with the new 2nd Division in the Baolongshan area, striving to completely defeat the 1st Division of the Japanese Army in one fell swoop. ”"Yes" Yang Erhu responded respectfully, and hurriedly ran to convey the order.Li Guotao couldn't help but smile knowingly, even Li Guotao himself, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, according to the current trend, if everything goes well, the Eighth Route Army can even take advantage of the situation to defeat the first division in one fell swoop, so that the overall situation of this battle has been decided.Li Guotao was happy when a staff officer suddenly ran over in a hurry and said with an anxious face: "Report to the commander, Deputy Commander Yang reports that the 57th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived at Daxing Town and is now continuing to advance westward. ”"The speed of the 57th Division is quite fast," Li Guotao couldn't help frowning.aa2705221:
