At this time, Zhou Weiguo looked at the final battle in Suixian County and raised his lips. In this way, the threat of the Japanese in Suixian County will be much less. Then, whether it is him or the national army, there will be enough troops to be able to
Split it out to support other places.
"Brother Wei Guo, I really admire you." Tang Enbo said to Zhou Wei Guo, "Use the gain and loss of one city to lure the Japanese invaders, then detonate the explosives that were laid in advance, kill most of the Japanese invaders, and finally use the superior force to eliminate the remaining Japanese invaders.
The devil is really wonderful."
Zhou Weiguo nodded.
"In this way, even our own losses will be reduced to the minimum." Tang Enbo sighed, "This is a good way not to lose or gain one city or one place."
"Commander Tang, now that the threat from Suixian County has been basically eliminated, I will take my brothers to go to the Xianghe River to have a look." Zhou Weiguo said immediately, "I heard that the fighting on the Xianghe River side was very fierce."
Tang Enbo nodded and sighed, "Zhang Xingchen also has a stubborn temper. I have already dispatched an army, but it is not so fast. I don't know if Zhang Xingchen can sustain it."
Zhou Weiguo said, "Don't worry, Zhang Zizhong will definitely hold on until reinforcements arrive."
…
"Commander! Lion Rock, Yangjiagang, and Changshou Store have all been lost!" a soldier said to Zhang Zizhong, who was lying on the ground and shooting.
"What?" Zhang Zizhong was furious, "What does Liu Zhensan do for food?"
"Commander Liu lost contact with the headquarters when he was west of Majiaji!"
"Bastard!" Zhang Zizhong yelled, "Where is Ji Xingwen?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"Yes, I don't know. I haven't contacted Mr. Ji."
Hearing this, Zhang Zizhong stopped talking. These two people were considered his old subordinates. As a result, they fell off the chain at the critical moment, and he was very angry.
"What's the news about Zaoyang?" Zhang Zizhong asked.
"Zaoyang was also lost."
"You bastards!" Zhang Zizhong yelled. He personally supervised the battle on the east bank of the Xiang River. He did not expect that the two divisions on the front line would be scattered by the Japanese army. Once they were separated, the Japanese army could be said to have marched straight into Xiangyang.
"Tell brothers, hold on to Xianghe! The troops of Commander Tang Enbo of the 31st Group Army are already on the way to help. As long as we hold on, we will have reinforcements!"
"yes!"
…
Near Zaoyang
"Master! There are no more brothers from the national army in front of us!" A soldier reported back after investigating.
Zhou Weiguo frowned. Historically, Zaoyang was lost very early. It was Zhang Zizhong who led his soldiers eastward across the Xianghe River, took back the position forcefully, and killed 4,500 Japanese troops, thus reversing the defeat. Unexpectedly, the defeat was reversed.
, in this time and space, the same Zaoyang has also been lost, and some other positions near Zaoyang have also been lost.
"Keep moving forward and be careful to hide." Zhou Weiguo said. He brought 600 people from Suixian County, which can be said to be very risky. After all, the east and southwest of Suixian County are already full of Japanese soldiers.
"yes!"
"Weiguo, it seems that the situation at the Xianghe Defense Line is not good." Fang Shengli frowned and said.
"Well, Zhang Zizhong used 40,000 troops to fight against the Japanese with more than 70,000 troops. Half of these 40,000 troops were Sichuan troops." Zhou Weiguo immediately said, "Under such circumstances, the situation is better, but it is unlikely that even if Zhang Zizhong does it again
Even if you are brave, there is nothing you can do."
"Where did the reinforcements from the 31st Group Army go?" Fang Shengli asked.
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "I don't know. After all, we are not directly affiliated with the army. There is no need for them to report to us."
"Hey, such a command is really too chaotic." Liu Zhihui interjected, "Now that the Zaoyang area has fallen, General Zhang Zizhong will definitely have to defend Xianghe. How can he defend it with his troops? Wait until the reinforcements arrive.
, it’s already dawn!”
Although what Liu Zhihui said does not sound pleasant, it is true.
"Send a report to General Zhang Zizhong and ask for the address. Our department will come over soon to provide support." Zhou Weiguo said to the communications troops.
"yes!"
…
"Commander! Commander!" A soldier rushed to the position with a telegram and shouted to Zhang Zizhong.
"What's going on?" Zhang Zizhong retracted his head into the trench and said loudly.
"The commander, General Zhou of the Independent Division, asked about our location. They are here to support us!"
"What? Say it louder!"
"General Zhou of the Independent Division said that he has brought troops to support us! Ask us where we are!"
"Great! Tell them that we are in Oumiao Town and Xiaohe Town between Xiangyang and Yicheng. By the way, tell them that the Japanese attack is very fierce. Let them take a detour to avoid being discovered by the Japanese!" Zhang Zizhong immediately
said loudly.
"yes!"
"Go and tell the brothers that Commander Zhou of the Independent Division has come with soldiers to support us. Let everyone hold on!" Zhang Zizhong said immediately.
"yes!"
…
After Zhou Weiguo received the telegram, he immediately rushed towards Xianghe River.
"Weiguo, shall we go directly?" Fang Shengli asked.
"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "The Japs on the Xianghe River side are attacking very fiercely, which means there are a lot of Japs. Let's go behind the Japs and see if there is any place where they can cause trouble. We have such a small number of people and we need to support them and pass through.
The Japanese defense zone is also very difficult."
"Indeed."
"Brother, why are you causing trouble?" Liu Zhihui asked.
Zhou Weiguo looked at Liu Zhihui. Those howitzers that were in Xujiadian were later recovered by Zhou Weiguo from the system warehouse. Although they did not have many war points, Xujiadian did not need those anymore.
Immediately, Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "You, don't ask so many questions, you will know when the time comes."
"Brother, why do you always treat me like a child?"
"Isn't that you?" Zhou Weiguo smiled, "Although you now have a military rank and have killed Japanese soldiers, you are still my brother, right? What are you if you are not a child?"
"Hey." Liu Zhihui sighed, "It seems that I will be a child in your eyes for the rest of my life!"
"You, go quickly!"
…
In the evening, Zhou Weiguo and others arrived at a place and could faintly hear the explosion.
"Go check it out."
"yes!"
"Weiguo, we should be close." Fang Shengli said.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, then looked around and at the continuous mountain on the left. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go to the mountain over there and have a look."
"yes!"
About half an hour later, the first soldier came back to report.
"Reporter's seat, go around this mountain, there is a battle between the Japanese and the national army, it should be Xianghe."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Okay, let's return to the team."
After a while, the soldier who inspected the mountain came back and said, "Reporting to the commander, there are no troops stationed on the mountain."
"Okay, let's go up the mountain." Zhou Weiguo said immediately, "attack the Japanese from the mountain and support General Zhang Zizhong."
