On the other side of the ambush circle, Yokota Xiaoyong at this moment was definitely uncomfortable, he took nearly 20,000 people to the original entrance to this mountainous area, and wanted to return from here, but found that it was simply impossible.The two regiments of the New Fourth Army were strictly guarded on this strip of only 100 meters wide, plus Lin Fan led an elite regiment of an independent brigade, and later transferred another regiment, relying on the strong firepower and the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, he simply blocked Yokota Xiaoyong's first section here.But Yokota Xiaoyong also had a bitterness that he couldn't say, the main force was all blown up by the barrage, and a large part of it was blocked by artillery fire.The 20,000 people he brought with him seemed to be a lot, but in fact, the water in the middle was very large.There are not only logistics units with no combat experience, but also artillery units that have been taken away by the rout, and many drivers of abandoned vehicles.That is to say, at least 8,000 people in his troops are logistics personnel of the 116th Division, and they are basically ineffective.Even if the remaining soldiers, half of them are reserves.The reserve is the last force to enter the battle when the offensive of the troops is blocked and they are in a critical situation, and they are generally very strong.But what made Yokota laugh and cry was that in order to expand the establishment of the 116th Division, his reserve had just been formed.The original reserve team had been formally organized into a wing by him and put into battle, which was a proud move for him, but now it seems that this is simply a big failure."
Your Excellency, the troops that attacked the front have been beaten back for the sixteenth time.The squadron's firepower was so fierce that we couldn't rush through. ”Just when Hengtian Xiaoyong was anxious, a staff officer came to report.Yokota Xiaoyong was so anxious in his heart that he yelled: "Why hasn't the air force come to support yet?"
"A telegram was sent from the Hefei direction, saying that the airport had been damaged by a large number of militiamen and was now in a state of blockade.For the time being, we cannot send air support, so we are required to hold on. ”The staff officer said with a bitter face."
Stick to the eight-grid tooth road, which bastard gave the order, tell him to come and hold on, we are behind the artillery bombardment, rush and can't rush out, tell us to hold on to the bombardment of artillery fire on the plain without any defensive position, Nanjiro's brain was kicked by a donkey" Yokoyama Xiaoyong scolded, completely ignoring the face of his top boss, and at this moment he wanted to screw Nanjiro's head off."
Your Excellency, the artillery fire of the squadron is very fierce, it seems that it is not ready for us to build a position, what should we do" The chief of staff of the 116th Division ran over, and there was still a wound on his right arm that was bleeding."
What should I do" Yokoyama Xiaoyong almost jumped like thunder: "Send me a telegram, and ask Taro Kumamoto in Wuhu to lead all the troops to support me immediately."
We are here for him, he can't see death without help, and if we are all finished, he will not escape the fate of being annihilated by the squadron, so send him all my words, and tell him that we are going to be annihilated. ”In Wuhu City, Kumamoto Taro is restless.The rumbling sound of artillery thirty kilometers away reached Wuhu City like a loud thunder, making Kumamoto Taro, who had been waiting for reinforcements for a long time, feel strongly uneasy.Although he looked down on the New Fourth Army, which did not belong to the regular army sequence in the squadron, he also knew that the tactics and tactics of the New Fourth Army were actually much stronger than those of the regular army, and that encirclement and reinforcement were the usual methods used by the New Fourth Army.He guessed that the reinforcements might have been intercepted by the troops of the New Fourth Army, but when he went to the city, he saw that there were camps of the New Fourth Army all around outside Wuhu City, and it seemed that their main force had not left."
Could it be that this time the New Fourth Army dispatched all its forces to deal with our Wuhu defenders" Kumamoto Taro was suspicious, he knew that this reinforcement was the 116th Division, which was a division of nearly 40,000 people, and it was the largest Japanese army in Anhui.Judging from the allocation of firepower or personnel, if the New Fourth Army wants to stop the attack of the 116th Division, it will not be enough without more than 30,000 troops.But he never imagined that the main forces of the New Fourth Army and the Independent Brigade had all been transferred to the battlefield, and what he was outside Wuhu City was just some tricks, and there were few people at all.But Kumamoto Taro is cautious by nature, he doesn't dare to take this risk to lead troops to support the 116th Division, at least under the current situation, he doesn't dare, in case this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, then Wuhu City will definitely not be protected after withdrawing all troops."
Report" Just when Kumamoto Taro was extremely anxious, a herald ran in and handed him a telegram from Yokoyama Koyong asking for help.Kumamoto Taro had just finished reading it, and his eyes immediately wrinkled.As soon as he threw away the telegram in his hand, he stood up and shouted: "Gather all the troops, quickly, get out of the city immediately, go out of the city immediately, and definitely not let the 116th Division be finished." ”Yokota's telegram is equivalent to the last roar before he dies, Kumamoto Taro is a very knowledgeable person, he knows that Yokota Xiaoyong is timid and afraid, but he is absolutely good-looking.If it hadn't really come to a critical moment, such a humiliating telegram would never have been sent.If the 116th Division is finished, Wuhu will be completely encircled by the New Fourth Army, and there will be no Japanese reinforcements to rescue him for at least half a month.And since the New Fourth Army can fight Yokota Xiaoyong's appearance of being afraid of death, the strength must be amazingly powerful.After the 116th Division was eliminated, the next target must be Wuhu City, and when the time comes, Wuhu City will use what to block the footsteps of the victorious division of the New Fourth Army.Therefore, the 116th Division must be saved, and it must be rescued as soon as possible.Rescue them when there are no fatal casualties, so that you can still save Wuhu City, and you can wait for the next batch of reinforcements to arrive.Kumamoto Taro is actually a strategic talent and knows the importance of the 116th Division to him.The destruction of the 116th Division will not only bring great pressure to the defenders of Wuhu, but also greatly reduce the morale of all Japanese troops.At that time, Kumamoto Taro was afraid that he would not be able to hold it for even two days, and the New Fourth Army would rush into the city and kill them completely.An hour later, the main force of the Kumamoto Division was ready to go, with 15,000 troops lined up from the south end of the city to the north end, while 8,000 puppet troops followed by it."
The artillery has to arrive as fast as possible, the squadron has already arranged layers of defense, and we must break through a gap in order to rescue the 116th Division.Please be sure to arrive, and please leave it to you. ”Before leaving, Kumamoto Taro solemnly bowed to his chief of staff, his tone full of sincerity."
Please rest assured, because it is a minefield outside, it is not convenient for large troops to travel together.So when the infantry passes, I will definitely bring the artillery out of the city as quickly as possible. ”The chief of staff also bent over."
Then please" Kumamoto Taro's face was solemn as never before, and he turned his head and shouted loudly: "Order the troops to go out of the city as quickly as possible and attack the position of the New Fourth Army." ”Mighty troops began to pour out from Wuhu City, rolling towards the position of the New Fourth Army with an unstoppable momentum like a flood.The puppet army is in front, they are substitutes for the dead, and they are also cannon fodder, and the Japanese want to use them to block the bullets of the New Fourth Army.However, the torrent stopped after leaving the city gate, and Kumamoto's command car braked suddenly, almost causing Kumamoto Taro to crash headlong into the cab in front of him."
Why did the troops stop who gave me the order to move on, quick" Kumamoto Taro yelled irritably, now saving people is like fighting fire, he can't wait for the whole army to put on wings and fly directly to the front line.But the front is jammed, not to mention the passage of vehicles, even if a person squeezes through, it will be painful.Before Kumamoto's car left the city, it was stuck in a traffic jam, and no one answered his questions at all, so he jumped up and down in the car."
Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way of me" Suddenly, a person squeezed out of the crowded line in front of him, and ran towards Kumamoto Taro's command car like crazy."
Your Excellency General, our way out of the city is blocked" The officer shouted loudly before he came to Kumamoto Taro's car, "What does it mean to put a gun at your head and not be allowed to go out" Kumamoto Taro slapped this officer in the face with a big mouth, he was already on fire in his stomach, and this guy just came to extinguish the fire for him.The aggrieved officer didn't dare to say anything more, pointed outside and said, "You better go and see for yourself" Kumamoto Taro angrily yelled to the front: "Get out of the way for me, hurry up and get out of the way" The crowded devil in front of him immediately made a way, and Kumamoto Taro's command car slowly moved forward.Kumamoto Taro was extremely manic in his heart, and he wished that this car could also put on wings and fly ahead quickly to see what was going on.Out of the city, an embarrassed-looking devil adjutant immediately ran to report: "Your Excellency the division commander, take a look for yourself" Kumamoto Taro looked at the dejected appearance of his subordinates, and climbed to the roof of the command car with the help of the guards.But the scene he saw immediately almost made him vomit a mouthful of old blood on the spot and fell down from the car."
This, this, what the hell is going on," Kumamoto exclaimed, looking at the dense rabbit-hole-like road ahead."
The New Fourth Army was riddled with landmines around our city overnight, and they were also connected to our original mines.This range is about three kilometers long, and it takes at least a day to clear the mines. ”The adjutant said helplessly.Kumamoto Taro's lungs are about to explode, it's like he has a brand new bicycle and deliberately locks two large locks to prevent thieves.But who knew that when I got up the next day, the bicycle was directly locked by countless locks, and the person who did this lack of virtue deliberately left a note of "see how you ride"."
Damn the New Fourth Army, damn the New Fourth Army" Kumamoto Taro would not count the other party's trick even if he didn't calculate, and kicked the roof of the command car fiercely in anger."
Demine me, quickly, all the sappers are on the battlefield.Even if you roll with your body, you have to get out of my way, quickly" Kumamoto Taro yelled like a madman, saliva like a bullet
