Kumagi Taro's eyes were about to pop out, and if it weren't for the fact that the walls were made of stone, I'm afraid his fingernails would be sinking deep into them now.Rao was like this, and his ten fingers were already oozing blood, which showed how hard he was grasping at the city wall.He couldn't figure it out anyway, the 116th Division, which was equipped with weapons and weapons that were stronger than him, and the number of personnel was twice that of his Kumamoto Division, was so finished, did they send their heads to the door and give their heads to the New Fourth Army to collapse, how many weapons did the New Fourth Army have, Kumamoto Taro can be described as a treasure, just a few broken guns, and the artillery is even more limited.If they were really well equipped, they would have been able to enter Wuhu a long time ago, so why wait until now.Suddenly, an extremely bad thought rushed into Kumamoto Taro's mind, and almost shocked him to death on the spot: "Could it be that they deliberately surrounded Wuhu, and then attracted reinforcements to arrive, and finally annihilated them" Thinking of this, Kumamoto Taro was in a cold sweat behind his back.What is Wuhu, it is second only to Hefei, and even more important than Hefei in a strategic sense.Half of Anhui's economy is in Wuhu, and this is Anhui's money bag.The 116th Division is the main force in the entire Anhui garrison, and if the New Fourth Army can take Wuhu and eliminate the 116th Division at the same time, it will be tantamount to a heavy blow to the Japanese army.It is simply impossible for Minamijiro to organize a decent defensive counterattack after that, and whether he can hold the remaining cities is a question mark.Looking at the endless squadrons outside the city, a crack appeared in Kumamoto Taro's firm heart for the first time.It is not a bad thing for a person to believe too much in his own abilities, which can help him through his difficulties many times and overcome one task after another that seems impossible to challenge success.But if you believe in yourself too much, then when you find out that you are about to fail miserably, the blow that follows is almost fatal.Once there is a rift in his heart, he will no longer be able to judge things rationally, full of doubt and distrust in every decision, and will no longer be able to defeat those powerful opponents.Kumamoto Taro felt that his whole person collapsed in an instant, the cold wind blew, and the snow became bigger and bigger.Cold sweat was frozen in the reserve, and it was as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant."
Calm down, calm down, I still have city fortifications, it's okay, it must be okay.As long as I hold here, for half a month at most, the military headquarters will definitely mobilize reinforcements from other places to come here, and the military headquarters will definitely not let Wuhu be lost. ”Kumamoto tried to comfort himself and calm down his chaotic mind.The headquarters he was talking about was actually the headquarters of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army.The North China Dispatch Army Command took over the functions of the Central China Command, with more than 800,000 troops under its jurisdiction, comparable to the Kwantung Army in the northeast, and its headquarters was located in Nanjing.The idea is good, but the implementation is very difficult.Unbeknownst to Kumamoto, their North China Command had already sent most of its forces to the North China zone to launch a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army operating in their occupied area.At this time, there is a lack of skills, let alone half a month, even if it is a month, it will not be able to catch up with Wuhu.The Japanese troops in the city were in panic, and the destruction of the 116th Division was like a huge shadow pressing over their heads.Like the sky covered by dark clouds, there is no light to be seen.Outside the city, in the joint headquarters of the New Fourth Army and the Independent Brigade, Su Yu took a sip of hot tea and handed Gao Dong a glass of wine with a smile: "It is said that there are no soldiers who don't drink, but I have this habit, drink some hot tea before the battle to refresh myself." ”Gao Dong took the wine glass, drank it all in a hearty sip, and then laughed: "You are a famous general, the pillar of the New Fourth Army, so naturally you don't need to drink."
And I'm a real soldier.Wine warms up the body and can also make the blood boil.When you kill people like that, you won't frown because of the bloody scenes. ”Su Yu laughed, pointed at Gao Dong and said: "You are lowering your status, the dignified captain of the independent brigade, personally under the command of the Central Committee, but you say that you are a soldier, and you underestimate yourself too much."
In our eyes, you are a dignified anti-Japanese hero and a national hero, and even praise you and call you a famous general. ”Gao Dong said very seriously: "I am a soldier, and a soldier has the glory of a soldier, that is, to shed blood for the country and sacrifice for the people."
If I am crowned with the title of a famous general, I am afraid that I will no longer have this blood. ”"Seriously" Su Yu stared at Gao Dong's eyes tightly."
Seriously" Gao Dong did not hesitate for a moment, and replied briskly.He is such a person, he does not seek fame, does not seek profit, and does not luxury the title of a famous general.He has done so much, in fact, it is very simple, because he is a soldier, a flesh-and-blood man with a lot of backbone.He is also a soldier, a hot-blooded soldier who never flinchs from killing the enemy on the battlefield.It is with this arrogance and enthusiasm that he can be fearless on the battlefield and win one beautiful battle after another."
Gao Dong, I really didn't misunderstand you.China needs talents like you, and if there weren't so many generals in the national army who were fighting for power and profit and serving the people wholeheartedly, we in China would not be like this. ”Su Yu laughed, poured a glass of wine for Gao Dong, and then clinked glasses with Gao Dong, and the two drank a glass together."
Commander, the encirclement will be formed soon, when will the attack begin" After drinking two glasses of wine, Gao Dong looked at Su Yu with burning eyes."
Don't worry, don't worry, let the devils in the city be nervous for a while."
A happy smile appeared on the corner of Su Yu's mouth: "These invaders have come to our land and done too many bad things, and we can't solve them so easily.With our current equipment, it would be easy to capture Wuhu City.But doing so is too cheap for them.Let them wait in anxiety, tremble under the fear of death, and when they really can't hold on, our artillery fire will hit Wuhu again, and we will get twice the result with half the effort. ”Gao Dong looked at Su Yu with admiration and gave a thumbs up: "Commander, sometimes I find that you are more ruthless than me, and the little devil is unlucky when he meets you." ”The two looked at each other and laughed.Time passed slowly, and the New Fourth Army and the Independent Brigade outside the city had already set up their formations to attack, but they did not launch an attack for a long time.More than 1,000 artillery pieces were neatly positioned ten kilometers away, waiting for Su Yu to give an order to launch a general attack.The devils in the city live like years, or every minute and every second is a kind of torment.It's like a person about to be executed kneeling on the execution table, but the machete on his head doesn't fall.He could feel the coldness of the blade of the machete, and he could even smell the thick smell of blood that had killed an unknown number of people on it.But that knife just doesn't fall, this feeling can be imagined.Kumamoto Taro simply lived in the castle, and his eyes would blink for a long time.He was waiting, waiting for the squadron to attack.From morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon.The nerves of the whole person were tense to the extreme, and the muscles were even more congested, as if they had been engaged in a vigorous physical labor.All the devils are the same, on such a cold day, their palms are sweating, and their backs are soaked several times.The heart was beating twice as fast as usual all the time, and some of the devils even fainted on the spot.The dreary atmosphere enveloped the entire Wuhu City, and the devils seemed to have fallen into boundless darkness.I saw the light ahead, but I could never get there."
Damn the New Fourth Army, what are you going to do not attack or retreat, are you going to trap us in the city" Kumamoto Taro became more and more unable to figure out what the squadron outside the city was going to do.He had already sent a telegram to Hefei asking for support, but the reply he received was to continue to hold on, exactly the same telegram that the 116th Division had received.The embarrassed Nanjiro simply didn't have half a soldier to send, unless he gave up the defense of Hefei and rushed to Wuhu with all his troops.But he wasn't sure if he would occupy Hefei with the back foot.The New Fourth Army, which had attacked the army base, had suddenly withdrawn, and who knew if these people were still nearby, and Nanjiro didn't dare to take this risk.So Kumamoto Taro continued to send a telegram to the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters asking for support, and the reply he received was the same as the telegram sent by Minamijiro, please continue to hold on.Taro Kumamoto is going crazy, hold on to it, what does he take to hold on.The New Fourth Army outside the city was the victorious division, having just wiped out the 116th Division, and now its morale was very high.Moreover, the other side must have captured a large amount of equipment of the 116th Division, which was quite unfavorable to the defenders of Wuhu."
New Fourth Army, you should attack quickly, I will beg you."
Kumamoto Taro said bitterly in his heart, his heart was always caught up in the air, and the feeling of nervous tension in his whole body was not as refreshing as a duel in a dignified manner.It was getting dark, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.It was the last and heaviest snow of 1939.Outside Wuhu City, it was covered in silver, as if wearing a white cloak.In the dark night, the New Fourth Army outside the city had already fallen asleep, and they had to recuperate their spirits and prepare for the big battle in the coming day, only the sentinels were still holding their posts.They can sleep boldly with confidence, because Wuhu City is full of landmines, and it is impossible for the devils to rush out even if they want to.But the devils in the city didn't dare, they opened their eyes wide in fear, shivering in the heavy snow, and strictly guarded against the New Fourth Army from attacking in the night.This is also the only reason why Kumamoto Taro can think of the New Fourth Army not to attack, he thinks that the New Fourth Army must take advantage of the dark night to capture Wuhu with minimal casualties.For the elusive and tactically flexible New Fourth Army, Kumamoto Taro did not dare to be careless, after all, this was the final battle of life and death.The night passed quietly, and by the dawn of the next day, the Japanese soldiers in the city had been frozen and half dead.Stick to the cold and snowy night all night, and everyone is like a snowman.Kumamoto Taro stared at his eyes, which were completely blood-red, and the old high snow was piled up on his hat, and he looked dead at the outside of the city.His nerves were about to collapse
