"Yawn, yawn, yawn." Xu Rui suddenly sneezed three times in a row.
Digua held a stack of telegrams and asked in a low voice: "Captain, do you want to continue reading?"
"I stopped reading after I read it. They are all the same anyway." Xu Rui touched his nose and said, "Look, who else sent a telegram to our independent group?"
"That's a lot. Who did I read just now? Let me see." Digua turned over the telegrams one by one and said, "This is from the head of the headquarters, this is from the head of the military region, and this is from the military region."
The telegram from the division chief, oh yes, and the telegram from the chief of the 120th Division, I have just read these."
After a pause, Digua continued: "This is a telegram from Commander Wei, Commander-in-Chief of the South Route Army, and this is a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Fu, Commander-in-Chief of the North Route Army, uh-huh, uh-huh, and there is also a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Yan of the World War II Zone."
"Sir Yan?" Xu Rui smiled and said, "Look what Yan Laoxi said?"
"Let me take a look." Digua agreed and immediately unfolded the telegram. After reading it, he said with a smile, "Commander, Yan Laoxi didn't say anything. He just congratulated us for launching an active offensive."
"Yan Laoxi is really well-deserved. It's already come to this point, and he's still on both ends of the spectrum, yet he still wants to send such a telegram to find out what's going on with me." Xu Rui shook his head and continued, "Have the Communications Department reply to Yan immediately.
Lao Xi said, there is no store like this after passing this village, so if you want to reap the benefits, you must do it early."
Digua agreed, turned around and ran to the communications office.
Mei Jiuling shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Yan Laoxi doesn't dare to send troops. He scares the little devils."
"Then you should underestimate Yan Laoxi." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "This old guy is very good. He sent a few regiments from the Sixth Army to test it out. He still dared to do it. Although several regiments of the Shanxi-Sui Army
It cannot play a big role, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and it will be a help to the Shanxi battlefield and even the entire North China battlefield."
While the two were talking, Digua came running back from the communication office.
"Captain, there's good news!" Digua couldn't wait to shout from a few dozen meters away, "The Second Battalion launched a counterattack in front of Zijin Pass and destroyed the little Japanese's baggage position. Now we're coming from Baoda Highway.
The Japanese soldiers’ morale has been shaken, and the second battalion is surrounding the little Japanese soldiers and attacking fiercely. The Japanese soldiers are about to be defeated!”
"What, the enemy is about to be defeated!" Xu Rui waved his fist in a rare gesture and shouted, "Well done!"
Xu Rui naturally knew what kind of situation the Second Battalion was facing at Zijingguan. To be honest, Xu Rui's biggest expectation for He Shuya was to be able to hold Zijingguan until the main force of the regiment arrived. But he never expected that He Shuya would
But unexpectedly, they turned from defense to attack and defeated tens of thousands of Japanese who swooped down along the Baoda Highway!
This is really beyond Xu Rui's expectation. Even if he were to direct it personally, it would not be better than this!
Next to me, Mei Jiuling also hit the knot hard, and said excitedly: "This is okay, Shuya is really good!"
"No!" Xu Rui calmed down in an instant and said solemnly, "The battle situation at Zijingguan has taken a turn for the worse. Anan Weiji, an old devil, will definitely do whatever it takes to dispatch all the fighter jets and attack planes of the North China Front to come to help frantically. Call him immediately.
The flying brigade, taking squadrons as units, takes turns to provide air support to the second battalion as much as possible!"
"Understood!" Digua agreed, then turned around and ran away again.
…
In Peiping, North China Front Army Headquarters.
Ever since the Chahar Independent Regiment's blitzkrieg officially started, Anami Weiji has been staying in the war room, never leaving for a moment, even though his eyes were already red, and even though Kasahara Yukio and Ichigan's combat staff repeatedly advised him,
The old devil was unmoved at all. How could this juncture be a time for rest?
The old Japanese stared at the map of North China in front of him with bloodshot eyes.
But I saw hundreds of blue arrows drawn by combat staff on the entire map. Each blue arrow here represents a Chinese army with at least a regiment-level organization, and some are even division-level or corps-level organizations.
, for example, the blue arrow pointing from the direction of the Ulanqab League is the 35th Army of Fu Zuoyi!
Fu Zuoyi's Thirty-Fifth Army was so fierce, they captured the Ulanqab League in half a day!
Not only Ulanqab, but also various areas such as Chanan, northwest Shanxi, southeastern Shanxi, central Hebei, eastern Hebei and even Shandong are marked with blue arrows. Looking around, the entire defense area of the North China Front Army has been blocked.
The flames of war were raging, and almost all the Chinese troops took action. Like sharks that smelled blood, they gathered from all directions, ready to eat the flesh and blood of the North China Front!
Regardless of the total strength of the North China Front, even though more than a dozen elite infantry regiments have been removed, there are still more than 300,000 field troops. If you include the garrison, there are more than 40 troops.
Ten thousand people, but when spread across nearly a thousand counties in the five provinces of North China, it immediately becomes stretched.
Even though there were more than 200,000 imperial troops assisting in the battle, they were still alone.
Japanese commanders in almost every battlefield sent telegrams to Peiping, asking for reinforcements!
However, at this time, how could Ananwei send reinforcements to them? None at all!
Therefore, the only thing Anan Weiji can do is to order the Japanese commanders in each battlefield to shrink their forces and concentrate on defending a few big cities and important strongholds along the railway lines. As for those small cities that are not very important, or more remote counties, they are now
I can only bear the pain and give up. No matter what, let's get through this disaster first.
Anan Weiji's eyes wandered around the map, and finally returned to Zijin Pass.
"Kasahara-kun, how is the progress at Zijin Pass?" Anami asked with a frown, "Half an hour ago, Minamoto Yoshi-kun sent a telegram, saying that he had broken through the first line of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
Defense line, so now, no matter what, we should break through the second line of defense, it should not be far from Bauhinia Pass, right?"
What Anan Weiji is most concerned about is undoubtedly the battle situation at Zijingguan.
Because the gains and losses at Zijin Pass are related to whether the North China Front can block the main force of Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment to the west of the Taihang Mountains. If it cannot be blocked in the end and allows Xu Rui's mechanized attack group to enter the North China Plain, then the situation in the entire North China will be
It will be completely eroded, but if it is blocked, everything can still be done!
Yukio Kasahara was also worried about the battle situation at Zijingguan, and immediately said: "Hai, I will go over and take a look..."
However, before the second word "look" was uttered, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked out from the communications office next door, walked quickly to Anan Weiji, and reported in a heavy tone: "Your Excellency, Commander, the battlefield of Zijingguan Pass
urgent telegram."
"Battlefield at Zijingguan?" Anan Weiji's expression became serious when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "Quickly tell me, how is it?"
The communications staff officer said "Hai" again: "The Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade and the Fifteenth Independent Mixed Brigade encountered a counter-attack by the Chinese Army at the foot of Bauhinia Ridge. The situation turned sudden. The Imperial Army was underprepared and unable to react in time.
The baggage position has been destroyed, is now in trouble, and is being attacked by the China Army frantically!"
"Nani?!" Anan Weiji's face suddenly fell.
Kasahara Yukio and the dozen or so Japanese staff officers present were even more confused.
What's going on? It's obviously the imperial army suppressing the Chinese army and fighting, okay? How come in the blink of an eye, the imperial army was counterattacked by the Chinese army and beaten into dogs? This style of painting can't help but change.
Isn't it too fast? Do you want to be so exaggerated? Let someone who is not pleasant to perform the deduction and make someone who is not pleasant to be a consultant?
The communications staff officer continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, General Minamoto no Yoshi and General Nagumo also said that the offensive of the China Army is very fierce, and the independent mixed 8th brigade has been difficult to hold on due to lack of ammunition. If
If reinforcements cannot arrive within four hours, they will have no choice but to collectively die in pieces and die for the country."
The so-called collective destruction is just a more honorable way of saying being wiped out.
"Baga Yalu!" Anan Weiji finally exploded. He pulled out his saber and split the chair in front of him into two halves. Feeling uneasy with his hatred, he cut the two pieces into two pieces again with a sideways knife.
He took four cuts and cursed loudly, "What on earth are these two idiots, Minamoto Yoshishige and Nagumo, doing?"
"Two brigades, two independent mixed brigades, but less than one regiment of the Chinese Army was beaten into dogs. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. Only the Imperial Army has always been able to defeat the Chinese Army with less and more. What?
When is the time for the Chinese army to turn around and attack the imperial army with less and more? And there is still a disparity of strength of five times! Two stupid pigs!"
Anan Weiji could no longer suppress the anger in his chest and completely ran away.
Kanemitsu Keijiro came over quickly and whispered: "Your Excellency, Commander, now is not the time to be angry."
Anan Wei was startled for a moment, and his mind calmed down instantly. He nodded immediately and said, "Oh, yes, the top priority is to try to reverse the situation at Bauhinia Pass!" After a pause, he asked Kasahara Yukio again, "Kasahara-kun, Yixian County
Are there any troops around that can help Zijing Pass? Even an infantry regiment will do!"
Kasahara Yukio shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there are no troops nearby that can rush to the rescue. I'm afraid we have to wait for the 27th Division or the 35th Division to complete their assembly before rushing to the rescue."
"I'm afraid that the Yuanyi Brigade and the Nanyun Brigade will not be able to hold on until that time." Anan Wei shook his head, and then, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said sadly, "Congratulations, sir, order
The Third Flying Regiment immediately dispatched all reconnaissance aircraft, fighter jets and attack aircraft to fly to the Zijing Pass battlefield!"
"Hai!" He Zhongzhi paused heavily, turned around and left.
