Poor Naosaburo Okabe didn't know that Jun Nakamura's independent mixed 13th Brigade was actually nearby, only one step away from Badou Town.
But at this time, Jun Nakamura ordered the troops to stop and not move forward.
Not only that, Shun Nakamura even ordered the communications team to send a telegram to the Kumamoto Division, saying that they were still thirty miles away.
Faced with such strange behavior of Nakamura Jun, the chief of staff of the 13th independent mixed brigade and several infantry captains raised questions one after another, but Nakamura Jun did not give any explanation.
In fact, Nakamura Jun couldn't explain it.
How to explain? Could it be that the chief of staff and several battalion captains told them that the Dameishan Independent Regiment has not finished its work, so they cannot go at this time. They can only wait until the Dameishan Independent Regiment finishes their work, and they can only wait for them to take down the Kumamoto Division.
After the regiment was completely crippled, they were able to move forward and rescue Naosaburo Okabe and his division headquarters.
Yes, that's right. Shun Nakamura's goal is to rescue Naosaburo Okabe and a small number of personnel from the division headquarters. This is also allowed by Xu Rui. As for the entire Kumamoto division, there is no need to have extravagant hopes. Xu Rui cannot allow it. Shun Nakamura will not allow it.
He never expected that as a spy, he should have the consciousness of a spy, and Nakamura Shun had already accepted his fate.
Time passed little by little, and the sound of cannons in Badou Town gradually fell silent.
The Chief of Staff of the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade, Satoshi Maruyama, came to Shun Nakamura, paused and said: "Your Excellency, Colonel, the Kumamoto Division has sent a request for help again, requesting us to speed up the march, and the dispatched army headquarters has also sent it again.
We received an emergency telegram, urging us to speed up our march. Do you think we need to continue marching?"
"Don't worry yet." Toshi Nakamura shook his head coldly and said, "Wait a minute."
Maruyama Satoshi was stunned there, still waiting? If he waits any longer, the Kumamoto Division will be wiped out!
The infantry captains such as Kurosaki Taiga and Nagashima Junpei also looked at each other in confusion. Do we have to wait? When?
Time continued to pass slowly in the maddening silence. A quarter of an hour later, the gunfire in the direction of Badou Town began to fall silent, which meant that the battle there had really come to an end.
Maruyama Satoshi came to Nakamura Shun again, paused and said: "Your Majesty Colonel, we can't wait any longer!"
Nakamura Jun glanced at Maruyama Satoshi coldly and said in a deep voice: "Are you the brigade commander, or am I the brigade commander?"
"Your Majesty Colonel, I have no intention of arguing with you." Maruyama Satoshi said, "But we really can't wait any longer. The situation of the Kumamoto Division is already very dangerous!"
"The Kumamoto Division is in danger, isn't our brigade in danger?" Nakamura Jun said coldly, "The past performance of the Dameishan Independent Regiment has fully proved that this is a very powerful army, and Xu Rui is extremely dangerous.
Opponent, facing such a powerful army and such a dangerous opponent, no matter how cautious you are, you will never be too cautious!"
After a pause, Shun Nakamura continued: "If you rush forward rashly before knowing the enemy's situation, what if you fall into the enemy's plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements? If anything happens to the independent mixed 13th Brigade, you will
It’s nothing, but the first person the Condemnation Army Headquarters is looking for is me, the brigade commander!”
It's just an acting one, the real brigade commander is still on the way! Maruyama Satoshi cursed in his heart, and then said: "But Colonel, we can't just be cautious and not go to the rescue, right? Send the Condemned Army Headquarters to our brigade.
My order is to rush to Badou Town as quickly as possible to rescue the Kumamoto Division!"
"Of course we have to rescue, and I didn't say not to rescue." Nakamura Shun said coldly, "However, we have to choose a suitable time. We have to ensure our own safety first. Otherwise, if we don't save others, even us
The 13th Independent Mixed Brigade has also joined in. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?”
Maruyama Tomorrow was silent, because what Nakamura Jun said made sense, and he couldn't refute it.
Because from a logical perspective, there is nothing wrong with Nakamura Jun's choice, because even if the Kumamoto Division was finally wiped out by the Dameishan Independent Regiment, Nakamura Jun would at most be accused of poor rescue and would be punished, or even
It will affect his future, but at least his life is safe. But if the entire independent mixed 13th Brigade is involved, it will not be a matter of punishment or not, but his life will not be saved!
(Dividing line)
Badou Town Battlefield, Dameishan Military Division Temporary Headquarters.
When the matter came to an end, Xu Rui suddenly hesitated again.
At the beginning, Xu Rui planned to give Nakamura Shun a big gift and let him rescue Naosaburo Okabe and the Kumamoto Division's division headquarters. However, when the temptation of annihilating the Kumamoto Division was placed in front of him, Xu Rui
Rui suddenly couldn't calm down because the temptation was too great. This was the Kumamoto Division!
The Kumamoto Division is one of the two most capable divisions among the seventeen standing divisions in Japan!
Although the Fifth Division that was completely wiped out on Qingfeng Mountain Road was called the Steel Army, it was not actually the strongest division in Little Japan. The strongest divisions in Little Japan were actually the Kumamoto Division and the Sendai Division! If they were really wiped out.
Without the Kumamoto Division, the blow to little Japan would be absolutely unprecedented. Perhaps the Japanese government will adjust its strategy towards China because of this.
On the one hand, there is the huge temptation to annihilate the Kumamoto Division, and on the other hand, there is Shun Nakamura, a great spy. How to choose?
Just when Xu Rui was hesitant, Xiao Taohong suddenly walked in with a solemn expression and said, "Uncle, there is an urgent call in Meixian County!"
"Meixian?!" Xu Rui's face darkened slightly, and several battalion commanders such as He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan, Gao Chu, etc. who were gathered around the map to study the battle situation also looked up.
Xu Rui unfolded the telegram, but there were only four words: Mei Wei come back soon!
Although there are only four words, the meaning is expressed very clearly!
Obviously, Meixian has reached a very critical moment. It is so critical that he has to use the shortest text to transmit the news to him as soon as possible. The troops staying behind in Meixian must even try to save a few minutes.
, this shows how critical the situation in Meixian County is! To say it is in critical danger is probably enough.
At that moment, Xu Rui gave Xiao Taohong a subtle wink. Xiao Taohong understood and turned around.
Xiao Taohong went to send a telegram to Leng Tiefeng, who stayed with Nakamura Jun. Leng Tiefeng then informed Nakamura Jun that the troops in the Dameishan Military Division were about to retreat, and the independent 13th Brigade could march!
After Xiao Taohong left, Xu Rui said to He Guangming and the other group leaders: "Give me the order to stop the attack. All battalions and regiments will withdraw from the battle immediately! Then according to the emergency plan formulated before the war, alternate cover will be carried out in an orderly manner.
withdraw!"
"What? Withdraw from the battle?!"
"No way, withdrawing from the battle at this time?!"
"Captain, did I hear you correctly? We are about to annihilate the entire Kumamoto division, so retreat now?!"
The three regiment leaders immediately shouted, and even Wan Zhongshan, who had always been silent, couldn't hold back because Xu Rui's order was so sudden and unbelievable.
Xu Rui said coldly: "Why, do you want me to repeat it again?"
"But why is this?" He Guangming shouted, "Why do you want to withdraw?!"
"See for yourself!" Xu Rui handed the telegram copy paper with the words "Mei Wei will return soon" to He Guangming, and said to Wan Zhongshan, Gao Chu and other battalion commanders, "I'm almost going to have to wait for someone to carry it.
Even if we annihilate the Kumamoto Division, what's the point? As the old saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as the base area is fine, it can provide us with a steady stream of personnel, materials, and various weapons and equipment.
Are you afraid that there is no chance to annihilate the Kumamoto Division?"
After He Guangming read the telegram, he immediately closed his mouth and remained silent.
It is indeed a pity to give up the easily obtained military exploits and the opportunity to completely annihilate the Kumamoto Division, but compared with Lao Lao, the military exploits of annihilating the Kumamoto Division are nothing. As the commander said, as long as the base remains,
Are you still worried that you won’t be able to find a chance to completely annihilate the Kumamoto Division in the future?
At this time, Wan Zhongshan said: "Commander, otherwise, you will lead the main force of the military division back to Meixian to aid Meixian. I will stay with the second regiment and continue to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Kumamoto Division. There is not much left of the Kumamoto Division at the moment."
There are people, and the key is that we have run out of ammunition, we will definitely annihilate them all before dawn!"
It must be admitted that Wan Zhongshan's suggestion is the best choice.
Gao Chu, He Guangming, Qiu Feng, and Tiegang also nodded in unison.
"Captain, I think Lao Wan's suggestion is very good, but we should be allowed to stay together as a group."
"Commander, if you think leaving one regiment is too much, then let our guard battalion stay."
"Captain, why don't we stay here as our cavalry battalion? Our cavalry battalion can run very fast. If we annihilate all the remnants of the Kumamoto Division and then chase you, we may not arrive in Meixian later than you, okay?"
Xu Rui's face immediately fell, and he could say no more.
What else can you say? Nakamura Jun's identity is highly confidential and cannot be known to them.
This has nothing to do with Xu Ruixin not trusting his battalion commanders. This is the basic principle of the secret front.
The basic principle of the secret front is a single line of contact. The fewer people know about it, the better. Apart from him and Wang Husheng, there must be no third person who knows the existence of Jun Nakamura.
But at this time, Wang Husheng happened to walk in from the outside. He Guangming, Wan Zhongshan and the others didn't know what happened to Jun Nakamura, but Wang Husheng knew. He knew the reason why Xu Rui wanted to release Naosaburo Okabe and Master Xiong Ben.
The main purpose of the regiment's divisional headquarters is to protect Toshi Nakamura and give him military exploits. If Toshi Nakamura can continue to be promoted to a higher position, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to the Dameishan Military Division.
At that moment, Wang Husheng said: "What's so good? Everyone wants to disobey, right? You're looking at your lair and you're being harassed, but you're still thinking about fighting the Japanese. How does Lao Xu usually teach you?"
"Political commissar?" The faces of He Guangming and several battalion commanders immediately fell.
Originally, they thought that if Xu Rui disagreed, they could beat Wang Husheng, but now that Wang Husheng said so, they gave up this idea.
