"Yes!" the messenger agreed, turned around and hurried away.
Before leaving, the correspondent who was responsible for delivering the order didn't even look at Fu Zuoyi. Firstly, it was because Fu Zuoyi had already issued a strict order. Xu Rui's order was his order. All divisions and regiments of the 35th Army must obey unconditionally. Secondly,
It turns out that in the previous battle, Xu Rui's command had conquered everyone.
The correspondent quickly disappeared, but Ye Qijie exchanged a look with Fu Zuoyi, and then said to Xu Rui: "Chief of Staff Xu, would you like to think about it again?"
Xu Rui asked: "What are you considering?"
Ye Qijie said: "Otherwise, it's better to stop chasing him now?"
Ye Qijie meant to stop as soon as possible. No matter what, the Thirty-fifth Army has defeated the main force of the Twenty-sixth Division, has achieved considerable results, and captured a lot, and more importantly, Wuyuan has also defended
Well, this was already a great victory. Ye Qijie was already very satisfied. After all, at the beginning, he only wanted to defend Wuyuan City.
Of course, if conditions permit, Ye Qijie is willing to continue the pursuit, but now, Abe Norihide has gathered more than 5,000 remaining troops, and if he continues to attack, the risk will be too great.
Although what Yao Dahai said just now is unpleasant, it is not unreasonable.
It would be a pity if one mistake turns victory into defeat.
Fu Zuoyi nodded slightly. He had the same idea as Ye Qijie, and he also wanted to give up if things got better.
I have to say that Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie's ideas are unreasonable, but their ideas actually make some sense.
After all, the Japs have now gathered more than 5,000 remnant troops, and the remaining troops of the 35th Army are only 4,000. If they continue to attack, they may not be able to win. Once a stalemate occurs, they may lose control. According to past experience, the country
Once the army and the Japanese enter into a stalemate on the battlefield, the final result will be complete defeat.
Therefore, Fu Zuoyi should give up if he wants to do well.
Xu Rui saw through the two people's thoughts at a glance and knew that Ye Qijie was opening his mouth for Fu Zuoyi, so it was actually Fu Zuoyi himself who wanted to accept the favor. But Xu Rui knew better that accepting the proposal at this time would be equivalent to committing suicide. Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie
They never understood a truth, or in other words, they both understood it, but their confidence was not strong enough.
This truth is that offense is the best defense! This is especially true for the current 35th Army!
In the previous battles, the casualties paid by the 35th Army were actually far greater than those of the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia, more than double!
Although the Thirty-fifth Army is the attacker now, and the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia seem to have been beaten badly, in fact, the Thirty-fifth Army has only nine battalions left, which is only 4,000 people after a full defeat! Now with the help of
With the advantage of abundant physical strength, the Thirty-fifth Army can still suppress the Japanese on the battlefield, but once the Japanese are allowed to slow down, the trouble will be really big!
Right now, Norihide Abe is doing exactly this, and he is almost done.
If you listen to Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie and give up as soon as possible and give the Japanese a chance to breathe, then at dawn tomorrow, the Japanese will really launch a counterattack. By then, with the last nine remaining members of the 35th Army,
The camp may not be able to withstand it, and that’s when victory will truly turn into defeat, and it’s too late to regret it.
Of course, if that were to happen, Xu Rui would never sit back and watch, the Chahar Independent Regiment would definitely take action, but this situation is undoubtedly the worst, because a good war of annihilation turned into a war of attrition.
, even if they barely win in the end, the 35th Army will definitely be severely weakened, and the Chahar Independent Regiment will also suffer considerable losses.
Such a result is definitely not what Xu Rui wants, so he must try to avoid it.
So how to avoid it? The countermeasure is to never give the little devil a moment to breathe!
The current Thirty-Fifth Army actually does not have an advantage in terms of strength or firepower. Their only advantage is that the nine main forces participating in the counterattack have been recharged for a long time and have sufficient physical strength! So now, what the Thirty-fifth Army wants
What he did was to use this advantage to the extreme and beat the old master to death with random punches!
For example, the Little Devils are the German team with outstanding technical and tactical literacy and advanced tactics, while the 35th Army is the Chinese men's football team with rough technology and backward tactics. In the previous sixty minutes, the Chinese men's football team was heavily influenced by others.
A few goals, but they also exhausted the German team to death. Now, relying on Xu Rui, a black coach, to intimidate the chairman of the Football Association, he replaced 11 substitutes with strong physical strength. At this time, you will not fight against the German team.
Is it stupid to attack but still retreat and defend?
So now, the only thing the 35th Army has to do is not to give the little devil a chance to breathe.
Although Abe Norihide has gathered more than 5,000 remnants, these remnants are from different units and are not familiar with each other. Moreover, in the previous battles, most of the Japanese officers and soldiers have fled, so Abe Norihide
It is not easy for Xiu to restore order to these remnants and establish effective command.
Therefore, if we continue to attack at this time, we still have a chance to defeat the Japanese before they can restore order. Otherwise, when the night passes and Abe Norihide has reorganized his command and restored order, the Japanese's combat effectiveness will be fully restored.
When that time comes, the Thirty-fifth Army will have no chance.
These truths are a long story, but in Xu Rui's mind it was just a passing thought.
At that moment, Xu Rui said firmly: "Sir Fu, unless you remove me from my post now, I will not obey your order! As long as I am still the Chief of Staff of the 35th Army, this battle must be fought according to my ideas!
"
Fu Zuoyi's brows immediately tightened, and he turned to look at Ye Qijie, without saying anything.
Although he was unsure, Fu Zuoyi still understood one thing through his previous command. His previous decision to appoint Xu Rui as the Chief of Staff of the 35th Army was correct. In this case, he would simply let Xu Rui continue the fight.
Although it is dangerous, it might be possible to achieve total annihilation, who knows?
…
Northwest of Wuliangsuhai, Baijia Gedan.
After retreating to Baijia Gedan, Abe Kihide ordered to camp on the spot and no longer retreat, because behind Baijia Gedan was Wuliang Suhai. In this way, the Japanese defensive pressure was virtually reduced, because
Here the enemy only needs to defend against attacks from the north, southwest, and south.
When Abe Kihide took Adachi 23 out for inspection, the position was still in a mess. Many temporary troops were seizing the time to rectify it, but more officers and soldiers were running around without knowing what was going on, and the whole
The campsite was spread out like a big pie. Seeing this, Norihide Abe frowned.
With the chaos like this, once the Chinese concentrate their forces and launch a fierce attack on them, they will be in trouble.
Adachi twenty-three did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and still persuaded Abe Norihide: "Abe-kun, you don't need to worry, now we have regrouped more than 5,000 people, and they are all infantry, and there are five of them.
Infantry Brigade, based on my understanding of the China Army, they will never dare to continue the attack."
After a pause, Anda Twenty-Three said again: "If you miss tonight, when the imperial army slows down, there will still be a chance to turn defeat into victory."
While talking, Anda Twenty-Three was already looking forward to the situation after defeat was turned into victory. Even though the army stationed in Mongolia was defeated and completely defeated, which was quite miserable, but based on his experience, the army stationed in Mongolia did still have a chance to fight back. After all, Fu Zuoyi
The Thirty-fifth Army also suffered heavy losses in previous battles, or even greater losses.
If a reversal is achieved in the end, then the Battle of Wuyuan will become a classic battle.
No matter how great the losses of the troops stationed in Mongolia were in the end, the base camp could not deny the fact that defeat was turned into victory. In the end, the biggest credit would definitely fall on this guy Norihide Abe, but as the commander of the 26th Infantry Regiment, he and Adachi Twenty-three's personal
It will definitely be a highlight on your resume.
As a result, instead of being responsible for the defeat of the 26th Division, Anda 23rd, he might be able to receive a commendation from the base camp for his victory in the Battle of Wuyuan.
Thinking of this, Anda Twenty-Three couldn't help but feel high-spirited.
Speaking of which, Adachi Twenty-Three was really lucky. When Langya's shells fell, he happened to not be in Kuroda Shigenori's headquarters. Therefore, Kuroda Shigenori was killed on the spot, but the old devil was unscathed.
Moreover, after the 35th Army launched a counterattack and defeated the Japanese outside the east gate, the old Japanese was still able to escape.
Although he was quickly overtaken by pursuers, the cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Brigade arrived again.
After Adachi Twenty-san was recruited back, he was temporarily appointed as his chief of staff by Norihide Abe.
"Not necessarily!" Norihide Abe shook his head, not reassured by Adachi Twenty-san's persuasion, and added, "After all, our opponent now is Xu Rui. Xu Rui cannot be measured by those previous Chinese generals.
Before this, countless bloody facts have proved this point.”
Anda Twenty-Three was speechless immediately after hearing the words.
"Baga!" Abe Norihide scolded angrily, and then said to Adachi Twenty-three, "Adachi-kun, the rectification of various ministries must be speeded up, so I can only leave this matter to you."
"Hai!" Anda twenty-three shouted, and just when he was about to turn around and leave, gunshots suddenly rang out from the west side of the station.
Immediately afterwards, sudden gunfire rang out from the north and south sides of the station, and then the gunfire quickly became intensive.
Abe Kihide's face immediately darkened, and Adachi Twenty-three was also dumbfounded. He just said that the Chinese army would never dare to continue the attack, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by the facts! The Chinese army actually attacked,
Moreover, judging by the density of gunfire, a lot of troops were put into the attack.
"Baga!" Norihide Abe reacted quickly and cursed angrily, "Xu Rui is not leaving us a way to survive. He is trying to drive out all our troops stationed in Mongolia!"
