As soon as Xu Rui mentioned the 10th Division, the telegram about the 10th Division arrived.
A correspondent was panting and chasing after him from the dense woods. After seeing Xu Rui and his party, he waved from a distance and shouted: "Captain, telegram, urgent telegram!"
After a while, the correspondent arrived in front of Xu Rui, opened his satchel and handed over the telegram.
After reading the telegram, Xu Rui's lips immediately turned into a sneer. How could such a trick be used to embarrass someone?
He Guangming took the telegram from Xu Rui. After reading it, he immediately became happy and shouted: "Commander, good thing, the little devil's 10th Division can't hold on anymore. Is it going to run away?"
"Run?" Xu Rui sneered, "You think too simply."
"What do you mean?" He Guangming flicked the telegram in his hand and said blankly, "This telegram doesn't make it clear. It is clear that the little devil gathered all the heavy equipment and extra supplies, and also poured water on it.
If you don’t have gasoline, it’s clear that you need to destroy all heavy equipment and excess supplies, and then prepare to run away.”
Xu Rui said coldly: "How stupid does an old devil like Xiaozhu Yinan have to be to be so anxious to destroy supplies?"
After a slight pause, Xu Rui added: "Also, don't you find it strange? If the 10th Division really wants to withdraw, why not withdraw quietly at night? Why do you have to withdraw with great fanfare in broad daylight? If you are
Xiaozhu Yinan, would you destroy heavy equipment and excess supplies in such a big way?"
He Guangming said blankly: "Captain, are you saying that the old devil is acting?"
"Yes, Xiaozhu Yinan is acting. This old devil is afraid that we don't know that the 10th Division is about to retreat, so he gathers all the heavy equipment and excess supplies together in a big way, and then pours gasoline on it." Xu Rui
After a pause, he added, "This old devil has never heard of a word about how clever he is but his cleverness makes him misunderstood!"
He Guangming said blankly: "Then what does this old devil want to do?"
Xu Rui sneered and said, "If I'm not wrong, this old devil, Xiaozhu Yinan, clearly wants to take advantage of our independent regiment to relax its vigilance, to counterattack with lightning speed, and seize Houtou Ridge in one fell swoop.
, and then marched straight into Meizhen to capture Meizhen. I must admit that this old devil’s calculations were quite good.”
He Guangming suddenly said: "It turns out that I wanted to kill him back."
Xu Rui said to Lei Xiang: "Lei Zi, you have quick legs. Let's go back to Qingniuzhai now and ask the communication team to send a report to the political commissar immediately. Let them seize the time to lay more landmines under the monkey head leader and prepare a huge mine for the Japanese."
Array, hehe, since the old devil like Xiaozhu Yinan wants to take risks, let’s treat him to a big meal.”
(Dividing line)
In order to deceive the independent group's informants, Xiaozhu Yinan also spent a lot of money this time.
More than twenty 75-caliber field howitzers of the 10th Regiment of the Field Artillery Corps were all grouped together. Sufficient explosives were placed under the mounts of each artillery piece, and the excess supplies carried by the baggage regiment were also grouped together.
, and poured hundreds of gallons of gasoline on it, Xiaozhu Yinan really planned to destroy these heavy equipment and supplies.
It must be admitted that the old devil Xiaozhu Yinan is still very decisive and courageous.
Because Japan is an island country with scarce resources and all equipment is precious, destroying more than 20 artillery pieces and hundreds of tons of supplies at one time is a difficult decision for any division commander.
Once the outcome of the war is unsatisfactory, Xiaozhu Yinan will be responsible for it.
"Division Commander." Tsubuzaki handed the torch to Xiaozhu Yinan and said in a deep voice, "It's almost time."
The little piggy man took the torch and looked deeply at the mountains of supplies in front of him. A look of regret flashed deep in his eyes, but soon his expression became extremely firm. Then he shook his hand and threw the torch out.
Landing on the piles of supplies, the supplies poured with gasoline immediately burst into flames.
At the same time, explosives placed under the bases of more than 20 artillery pieces were also detonated.
In an instant, the entire valley was filled with the sound of a huge series of explosions. The dazzling red light produced by the explosion illuminated everything within a few kilometers as bright as day. In the firelight, the expression of the little piggy man was
He became extremely ferocious, and then said to Po Bujiagui without looking back: "Di Bujia Sang, get ready to go."
"Hai." Di Bujiagui nodded heavily, then drew out his saber and pointed it forward, "Open the way!"
The nearly 20,000 Japanese soldiers who were ready immediately divided into three torrents, rolling away in three directions respectively. Xiaozhu Yoshio and Tsubuzaki also joined one of them, because all the horses had been driven away due to thirst.
Slaughter, so even Xiaozhu Yinan, the division leader, can only walk.
Not far ahead, Xiaozhu Yinan suddenly said to Di Bujiagui: "If Di Bujiagui is not covered with mulberry trees, put out all the torches."
Tsubujiagui or Xiaozhu Yinan was worried that too many torches would attract sniper attacks from the Wolf Fang, so he immediately ordered the troops to extinguish all the torches, and all the troops marched forward by the moonlight. Fortunately, the moonlight was still bright tonight.
, even without a torch, you can easily march along the mountain road, and luckily, you were not attacked by the Wolf Fang.
However, the other two groups were not so lucky. Not long after they separated, faint gunshots could be heard from the valleys on the left and right sides. Apparently, there were already wolf fangs attacking them.
What puzzled Tsubasauki was that Xiaozhu Yoshio kept the speed very slow.
For three full hours, the moon was about to fall behind the mountain ridge in the west. The division headquarters, field hospital and the 63rd Infantry Regiment had only moved forward less than ten miles. Dibu Jiagui suggested speeding up several times, but failed.
Xiaozhu Yoshio vetoed them all, so Tsubujiagui could only comfort himself by saying that the division commander might just be trying to preserve the physical strength of the soldiers.
After another half hour, the bright moon hanging in the sky finally fell behind the mountain ridge in the west.
After the moon went down, the whole valley immediately became dim, making marching on the mountain road not so easy. From time to time, soldiers would miss the mark and fall to the ground. At worst, they would suffer a bruised nose and face, or even be seriously injured.
But at this moment, Xiaozhu Yinan suddenly raised his right hand and said: "Stop!"
Di Bujiagui was surprised, turned around and asked Xiaozhu Yinan: "Division Commander, what happened?"
Xiaozhu Yinan waved his hand and ordered the orderly: "Go and call Furong Gongping over here."
The orderly Hai Yi took the order. Within a moment, Fulong Gongping, the captain of the 63rd Infantry Regiment, ran over in a hurry, and then bowed his head and saluted: "Division Commander."
Xiaozhu Yinan asked in a deep voice: "Fu Rongsang, have you given out the drinking water given to you by the division headquarters?"
"Hai." Furong Gongping paused and said, "Before setting off, I had already followed the order of the division and regiment headquarters and distributed all the drinking water. Among them, the first infantry group had two liters per person, and the regiment headquarters
For the direct-affiliated team and the other two infantry brigades, the fee is 200 milliliters per person."
"Yoshi." Xiaozhu Yoshio nodded happily and added, "The two liters of water of the First Infantry Brigade are not for nothing. Now is the time for them to be loyal to the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, order."
Upon hearing the word "command", Furong Gongping instinctively puffed up his chest.
Xiaozhu Yinan shouted: "The First Infantry Battalion of the 63rd Infantry Regiment, immediately return to the same route and attack Houtou Ridge as quickly as possible!"
"Hai!" Furong Gongping nodded heavily, turned around and walked away.
Di Bujiagui was stunned for a long time, and then he finally came to his senses.
"Division Commander!" Tsubujiaki's expression was inexplicably embarrassed. As the chief of staff of the 10th Division, he could not participate in the formulation of the battle plan. This was a great shame for him, if it were not for the difference in rank.
Level two, Tsubujiagui almost roared loudly at Xiaozhu Yinan.
However, Xiaozhu Yinan bowed sincerely to Tibuqiagui and said solemnly: "Tibugaosang, I apologize to you for concealing it before. However, I didn't mean to do it, it was just to keep it secret."
Tsubujiagui tried his best to suppress the embarrassment in his chest and said in a deep voice: "Division Commander, do you want to kill him?"
"Yes." Xiaozhu Yinan said in a ferocious voice, "The scene of us blowing up artillery and destroying supplies during the day must have been transmitted back to the independent regiment's headquarters through Langya's scouts. The independent regiment must have known about us at this time.
We need to retreat, so if nothing else happens, the defense of Houtou Ridge will inevitably become lax. At this time, if our division turns around and fights back, we will definitely be able to defeat them in one go!"
After hearing this, Tsubujiagui was secretly shocked, thinking that the division commander's move was too risky. He was almost risking the entire 10th Division, because if the sneak attack failed, the 63rd Infantry Regiment would
If you don't even have the strength to break out, you will most likely be surrounded and annihilated by the independent group under the Buddha's Leaping Cliff!
Once the 63rd Infantry Regiment is completely wiped out, the division headquarters and field hospitals accompanying the 63rd Infantry Regiment will inevitably not be spared, and even the jade pieces of the 63rd Infantry Regiment will be endangered.
For the other two units, after completely wiping out the 63rd Infantry Regiment, the Independent Regiment could mobilize more troops to pursue and kill the other two units that broke through.
So this is simply risking one's own life to win the opponent's head. Either the enemy dies or we die!
At that moment, Di Bujiagui said: "Division Commander, is it too risky to do this? I suggest that we break out from the direction of Buddha Jumping Cliff according to the original plan. As long as we can break out successfully this time, we will be able to break out in the future."
There is still a chance to deal with Xu Rui and his Dameishan Independent Group, but..."
The second half of the sentence was not said out loud, but the implication was already obvious. The truth is, if the green hills are left, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. As long as the main force of the 10th Division is still there, there will be plenty of revenge in the future.
opportunity, but if the 10th Division is completely destroyed on Qingfeng Mountain Road, there will probably be no chance for revenge from now on.
The little piggy man said: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more."
