"You have to defend if you can't bear it. Chief Li's order to us is to defend for three days. If we retreat early, we will be putting Chief Li's safety at risk." Zhang Zizhong did not echo Su Rui's words, but said firmly: "So
, I will never agree to retreat. If you insist on doing so, don’t blame me for being unkind. Don’t forget that I am the commander this time!”
Zhang Zizhong's unceremonious warning made Su Rui smile bitterly. He had to explain: "Brother Xin Chen, the retreat I am talking about does not mean not to delay the Japanese army, but to use another method to delay the Japanese."
Zhang Zizhong asked doubtfully: "Oh, by what method? If we get out of Xiao County, the Japanese can drive straight in with great cover. Moreover, they are mechanized troops. With such a rotation of the car's wheels, it won't take long to catch up.
If you can't catch us, we will only die faster on the unobstructed plain!"
"You are wrong, Brother Xinchen." Su Rui smiled strangely: "Because most of the Japanese are mechanized troops, they are very dependent on roads, so we have to deal with roads."
"Highway context chapter, do you want to send people to dig up the road? This method will not work, the Japanese will repair it soon." Zhang Zizhong still shook his head. In his opinion, his little brother's method was terrible.
"Brother Xing Chen, you underestimate me too much. How could I come up with such a stupid idea?" Su Rui couldn't help but dumbfounded. Is he such an unreliable person in Zhang Zizhong's eyes? He asked
When he arrived in front of Zhang Zizhong, he quietly poured out his thoughts and ideas.
After listening to Su Rui's words, Zhang Zizhong said hesitantly: "Is this... can this be done?"
"Why not?" Su Rui said with a wry smile: "Our order is to block the Japanese army for three days. It does not necessarily mean that we must defend Xiao County. And you have also seen what we are doing now. There are more and more Japanese. You really
Do you think that with our 10,000 troops, we can withstand the air-ground attack of more than 200,000 Japanese troops? I guess if you really want to delay the Japanese’s actions, you will have to follow my method.”
Zhang Zizhong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then do it your way. Anyway, we will bear it together whether it's life or death!"
"Well, that's right, we have to let the little devil have a taste of the power." Su Rui narrowed his eyes, and there was a sharp look in his eyes...
It was already late at night, and the lights in the headquarters of the Japanese 114th Division were still brightly lit. The division commander, Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu, was sitting on a chair and listening to the chief of staff, Colonel Saburo Isoda, reporting to him the casualties of today's troops.
"The 127th Brigade responsible for attacking the north and east suffered casualties as follows. The 102nd Regiment and the 52nd Regiment suffered a total of 3,675 casualties. The 128th Brigade responsible for attacking the west suffered 1,000 casualties.
Four hundred and twenty-eight people, a total of 5,103 casualties in the entire army, as well as the loss of four bombers of our aviation force and the loss of the artillery wing..."
"enough!"
Suematsu Shigeharu interrupted Colonel Isoda Saburo's words with a loud shout. He roughly took the report from Colonel Isoda's hands and tore it into pieces with excitement. The muscles on his face were twisted with excitement.
The whole person was spinning back and forth like a madman, and his mouth was letting out low shouts like a trapped animal.
Although the 114th Division is not the most elite A-type horse-drawing division, it is also a well-established regular division with more than 20,000 people. However, after one division attacked for a day, it only managed to occupy two of the opponent's lines.
trenches. The price paid was nearly a quarter of the troops. Suematsu Shigeharu had no doubt that if the attack continued like this, even if Xiao County could be captured, how many men would be left in his division.
Colonel Saburo Isoda on the side comforted him: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down. According to my observation, the casualties of the Chinese Army on the opposite side are definitely not small. As long as we attack for one more day, and with the support of the aviation force, the Chinese will definitely not be able to hold on."
living."
Suematsu Shigeharu said impatiently: "But the commander will arrive tomorrow. How do you want me to explain to the division commander?"
"What do you have to explain?" Colonel Isoda Saburo sneered: "You must know that the defenders of Xiao County are the 300th Brigade of China. If the Commander really wants us to explain, please ask him to let His Excellency Seishiro Sakagaki first.
Let’s give an explanation to the base camp.”
Seishiro Sakagaki suffered several consecutive defeats at Pingxingguan and Linyi, especially Linyi, which was defeated by Su Rui and the Third Army without the ability to fight back. This has become the laughing stock of the Japanese Army, but he still relied on the help of someone above him
No matter what happened, he still arrogantly acted as the commander of his division, which made many officers a little aggrieved.
Now Isoda Saburo and Sakagaki Seishiro were used to talk about the matter, and the effect was very good. After the comparison, Suematsu Shigeharu, who was originally worried about being settled by the commander, was relieved. He also comforted himself in his heart and said: "Yes, the fifth
The division has suffered such a huge defeat and this guy Sakagaki is fine. If the commander makes things difficult for me, I will not hesitate to bring the matter to the base camp."
This man, once he has a comparison, his mood will naturally be very different. Thinking of this, Suematsu Shigeharu felt much better. He said to Saburo Katita: "That's it, you should send more sentries to pay attention to the other side at night.
Don’t just pay attention to the movements of the Chinese people in the 300 Brigade. The 59th Army of China Zhang Zizhong is not an easy character to deal with, so you should also pay close attention to him.”
Saburo Jida bowed and said, "Hai, I will definitely let people pay close attention to me!"
The night was still dark. Starting at half past midnight, groups of people began to pour out of the south gate of Xiao County. When they arrived... a few minutes later, there was a roar of cars, and soon
A long motorcade drove out from the south gate of Xiao County. This motorcade was very long, and it took more than thirty minutes to drive out of the county. Although they did not turn on the lights in order to hide, they drove one after another.
We followed him out, but the roar of hundreds of cars could not be concealed from anyone. Soon the situation here reached the ears of Shigeharu Suematsu.
"Immediately order the 128th Brigade to pursue them and destroy this China force!" Lieutenant General Suematsu Shigeharu immediately issued the order to pursue the pursuit without hesitation.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have to be careful of an ambush by the Chinese!" Chief of Staff Saburo Katita became a little worried.
"Ambush!" Shigeharu Suematsu shook his head: "Do you think some small ambushes are useful under absolute strength? Pass my order, and the entire army will be dispatched to pursue it immediately!"
"Hai!"
Seeing that the division commander had made up his mind, Saburo Katita had no choice but to grab the phone and issue the order.
Soon, the 115th and 150th regiments of the 128th Brigade, led by the brigade commander Major General Obaofu, quickly pressed on the retreating Chinese army.
Dozens of snow-white lights shone on the simple road, illuminating the originally dark suburbs like daylight. The top ones were three Japanese Type 89 medium tanks, and behind them were dozens of trucks, which were fully loaded.
The Japanese soldiers, with machine guns mounted on the roofs of their cars, pursued them along the highway with murderous intent.
Less than two miles away from the Japanese army, a dark figure was busy on the road. Due to the low visibility, one could only vaguely see through the moonlight that those shadows were burying some disk-like things on the ground...
"Move quickly, everyone, hurry up, the enemy is coming soon!"
A man who looked like an officer was urging. When he turned around, he saw his thin face through the faint moonlight. He was none other than Li Chenzhe, who had just been promoted to company commander today.
Originally, the teaching regiment to which Li Chenzhe belonged suffered heavy casualties. Su Rui wanted to send a battalion of the 398th or 399th regiment to carry out this task. However, the regiment leader Bai Jingran took the initiative to find Su Rui and asked for the task.
It was repeatedly stated that only the teaching group had learned the tactical training of planting landmines and blocking interceptions on a large scale. In the end, Suri was so entangled that he had no choice but to agree to Bai Jingran's request.
In this way, Li Chenzhe's Second Battalion was left at the end and took on the task of delaying the enemy's advance.
After a while, dozens of figures ran backwards panting around both sides of the road and jumped into a ditch on the side of the road.
This was a ditch that was chest-deep, and many people were hiding in it. An officer saw Li Chenzhe jumping in and asked hurriedly: "Li Chenzhe, have the mines been laid?"
Li Chenzhe whispered: "Sir, thirty anti-tank mines and forty-six anti-infantry mines have been laid. Don't worry!"
"That's good!" The officer, who was called a major, was about thirty or so, with a full beard on his face. He was Liu Guodong, the commander of the second battalion. He pointed to the other side of the road and said: "Li Chenzhe, you lead
Lead your company to the opposite side and listen to my command before firing again, do you understand?"
"yes!"
Li Chenzhe shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, come with me!"
After saying that, he took the lead and ran towards the opposite side of the road...
Not long after, bright lights accompanied by roaring motor sounds shone towards where Li Chenzhe was. Leading the way were three Japanese tanks. Their searchlights kept shining on both sides of the road.
Li Chenzhe and the soldiers beside him all lowered their heads, letting the dazzling headlights shine on their heads.
The leading Japanese Army's Type 89 B tank was driving on this muddy dirt road at a maximum speed of 25 kilometers per hour. Fortunately, it had rained in the past few days and the road was very muddy. Otherwise, the dust raised alone would have been enough for those behind.
The vehicle has had a drink.
Seeing the arrogant appearance of the Japanese tanks, Li Chenzhe and the soldiers around him felt anxious.
"Explode quickly, explode quickly!"
As if God had sensed the anxiety in Li Chenzhe's heart, a group of bright flowers suddenly bloomed in the night sky, forcing him to close his eyes that were accustomed to darkness, but the scene at that moment was deeply burned into his mind.
It was a bouquet of blooming fireworks.
This was perhaps the most beautiful metal firework he had ever seen in his life.
