Yamada Otozo frowned and thought about it, but he was still a little hesitant in his heart, looked up at Yoshimoto Sadachi, and asked with a frown: "Yoshimoto-kun, do you think the imperial army can break through the Gongzhuling defense line." ”"Well," Yoshimoto said after a moment's hesitation, "Judging from the current situation, there is still a great chance." ”I have to say that this old devil is still very cautious when he speaks, in fact, if you think about it carefully, this is pure nonsense.Yamada Otozo's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and he sighed softly and said, "You mean that as long as we send troops to support the Gongzhuling line, it is still very possible to break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army."
But Yoshimoto-kun, have you ever thought that the main force of the Eighth Route Army surrounding Changchun has not yet made any movement, don't you think it's strange" Yoshimoto Zhenyi frowned and said with a serious face: "Your Excellency Commander, I think that the reason why the main force of the Eighth Route Army around Changchun has not moved is because I am worried that the imperial army in the city will suddenly attack, Changchun is a big city after all, and there are more than 20,000 imperial warriors in the city, the people of China naturally dare not take it lightly, and must leave enough troops, Prevent the Imperial Army from suddenly going out of the city to engage them in a decisive battle.There is also the possibility that there is such a possibility," said Yoshimoto Sadachi, who stopped suddenly.Yamada Otozo frowned and asked, "What is possible." ”Yoshimoto Sadachi hurriedly replied: "Maybe it's because the Eighth Route Army outside Changchun City is not the main force of the Eighth Route Army at all, but a group of dirt Eighth Route Bluffs.The combat effectiveness of these Tu Eighth Route Army was limited, so the Eighth Route Army did not dare to pull them to the front line at all, so as not to expose the stuffing. ”Yamada Otozo frowned and asked: "If it is really as you said, then where is the main force of the Seventh Column of the Eighth Route Army According to the news from the Siping Front, there are only four divisions at most in Siping and the Eighth Route Army, which also includes the independent first division of the Liaoning Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. ”"Well," Yoshimoto said hesitantly, "This is just a lowly speculation, and we don't know what the specific situation is."
However, now that the fierce battle of Siping is in full swing and the imperial army is attacking fiercely, it is very likely that the Eighth Route Army will transfer troops south to support Siping. ”"Hmm" Yamada Otozo nodded noncommittally and said: "Now the situation is unclear, the imperial army is indeed not suitable to act rashly, but if you don't support Gongzhuling, the 1st Division and the 8th Division will be dragged by the Eighth Route Army on the front line of Gongzhuling, then all the previous sacrifices of the imperial army will be in vain." ”"What His Excellency Commander Hai said is very true, judging from the current situation of the imperial army, it is indeed a dilemma."
Yoshimoto said helplessly.Yamada Otozo glanced at Yoshimoto Sadachi, knowing that it was impossible to get this old fox to help him with his ideas, and no one could rely on him at the critical moment, so he had to rely on himself.Yamada Otozo hesitated for a moment, and then said with a serious face: "Immediately order the imperial army in the city, and then transfer the strength of three infantry brigades and one artillery brigade to quickly support the Gongzhuling front." ”"Hai" Yoshimoto Sadachi replied respectfully, and then asked cautiously: "Then in terms of weapons and ammunition, the front-line battle is fierce, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition is also extremely huge. ”"Give priority to replenishing them as much as they want, as long as they can break through the Gongzhuling defense line, even if it costs a lot, it's worth it."
Yamada Otozo said through gritted teeth."
Hay is going to arrange it," Yoshimoto Sadachi replied respectfully, turned around and left in a hurry.Looking at the back of Yoshimoto Sadachi's departure, Yamada Otozo couldn't help but sigh deeply, and his little heart couldn't help but pull up again, this old devil was indeed scared by the Eighth Route Army.I have to say that the efficiency of the little devils is still very high, and two hours later, thousands of little devils left Changchun City and hurried towards Gongzhuling.The scouts of the Eighth Route Army outside the city immediately notified the headquarters as soon as they got the news."
The little devil has sent troops, and the little devil in Changchun has sent troops to support Gongzhuling," Ma Zhenguo ran over with an excited face and shouted loudly."
Really" Li Guotao raised his eyebrows, and asked excitedly: "How many troops did the little devil dispatch" Ma Zhenguo hurriedly replied: "According to the report of the scouts, the devil dispatched a total of three infantry brigades and an artillery brigade this time, and there were about a thousand baggage soldiers, escorting a large number of military supplies, and drove towards the direction of Gongzhuling together. ”"Great" Li Guotao shouted excitedly, then turned around and looked at the sand table in front of him carefully, and after thinking about it, he said: "In this way, our counteroffensive plan has to be advanced." ”Ma Zhenguo smiled and nodded and said, "Since the little devil has already sent troops, then there is no need for us to continue to wait."
It's just that with the addition of this batch of reinforcements from the devils, the strength of the little devils has strengthened a lot, and if you want to annihilate them in one fell swoop, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. ”Li Guotao smiled and said, "So we'd better launch an attack before this group of little devils rushes to the front line of Gongzhuling." ”Ma Zhenguo pointed to the sand table and analyzed: "Changchun is one hundred and twenty miles away from Gongzhuling, and it is already five o'clock in the afternoon.According to the report of our scouts, this little devil is escorting a large amount of military supplies, and the devil's infantry brigade does not dare to leave behind the baggage, so it is relatively slow to move, and according to their current speed, they will have to rush to the front line of Gongzhuling at four or five o'clock in the morning tomorrow at the earliest. ”"Well, then we'll have at least a few hours to prepare."
Li Guotao nodded, frowned and thought about it, and then said with a serious face: "Then let's choose to start at 0:00 in the morning, and it is estimated that this little devil will be halfway through at that time." ”"Isn't zero a bit rushed," Ma Zhenguo asked with a frown."
Seven hours is not a short time, not to mention that the troops have already made preparations before, so it is decided."
Li Guotao said undoubtedly: "Send a telegram to Li Yongfu immediately, and ask them to launch a night sneak attack on the puppet army of Gongzhuling in the early morning of this evening, even if they can't defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop, at least they must be firmly contained." ”"Yes," Ma Zhenguo replied respectfully.Li Guotao continued: "Order the new 6th Brigade and Cavalry Division of the 3rd Division to launch an attack on the Japanese army from both flanks in the early morning of this evening, capture Fanjiatun, cut off the passage for the Japanese army to flee to Changchun, and then continue to attack south from the north, and encircle and annihilate the little devils near Gongzhuling in one fell swoop.The 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the new division was ordered to penetrate near the south gate of Changchun to prevent the little devils of Changchun from going out of the city for reinforcements, and the 5th Division and other local troops launched a large-scale feint attack on the Japanese army from other directions after the battle began, so as to contain the enemy in Changchun. ”aa2705221:
