After hearing three hours of answers, Major General Ono breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he thought of Lieutenant Colonel Aoba, who still had no news, Major General Ono's brows once again furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign.
Then he ordered loudly: "Call to Major Nakamura to continue sending people to contact Lieutenant Colonel Aoba, and report any news immediately! I don't believe there will be an accident there with Lieutenant Colonel Aoba. They have more than 3,000 people and also have an artillery brigade.
Even if the Eighth Route Army gathers 30,000 people, it is impossible to eliminate them in a short time, and it is still silent, without even a chance to send a telegram for help!"
"Hi!" The chief of staff was about to leave with a worried look on his face when a communications staff officer hurried in.
"General, Major Nakamura is calling urgently!"
"The bridge across the river that they must pass through has just been bombed by Tubal Road! An infantry squad in the vanguard and a company of the Imperial Association Army were bombed together. The entire army was wiped out. The troops had to detour more than 30 kilometers to cross the river on foot!"
The chief of staff immediately walked to the map and analyzed: "If they take a thirty-kilometer detour, it will be dark by the time they arrive at Huangtuling!"
At this time, Ono had the desire to kill people and cursed loudly: "Bagya Road, it's the Eighth Route Army again. They must have buried explosives on the bridge before to prevent us from reinforcing Huangtu Ridge! I immediately asked Major Nakamura if it was possible to directly
Cross the river!"
"No! Major Nakamura said in the telegram that the current in the river is very fast, and there is an Eighth Route Army defense on the other side, and there is no ferry nearby. There is no way to cross the river directly!" The communications staff officer who just rushed in shook his head and replied!
"Then take a detour and tell Major Nakamura that no matter what method they use, they must reach Huangtu Ridge within an hour!" Major General Ono decided decisively.
Then he added with a murderous look: "Tell Nakamura that if he can't do it, he will engage in military law~"
"Hi!" the communications officer replied immediately.
At this moment, the chief of staff, who had been frowning and staring at the map, suddenly stopped and said: "Wait a minute, don't give the order yet!"
"General, I think we should be cautious!"
"Look at the map. After the independent regiment blew up the bridge, our four-pronged encirclement and suppression force was divided into two, cutting off contact!"
"Although we don't want to believe that Lieutenant Colonel Qingye in Hongqiao Village has encountered an accident, the reason why the Eighth Route Army dared to attack Huangtuling so unscrupulously must have something to rely on. And when our garrison in Hongqiao Village encountered an accident, it is probably because the Eighth Route Army became independent
Reliance in the hands of the regiment!"
"Also, a quick detour to reinforce Huangtu Ridge, no matter how fast the speed is, will still have to wait until dawn. And after dawn, the air force can rush to Huangtu Ridge. With the air force reinforcements, as long as Kato Colonel has not been eliminated, no matter how bold the independent regiment is,
We can only retreat!"
"My opinion is that since the reinforcements can't arrive at Huangtu Ridge until dawn, it's better not to go. Have a good rest tonight, and at dawn tomorrow, go directly to the independent regiment's station and attack their lair!"
Ono said nothing, and Twenty was lost in thought.
After hesitating for almost a minute, he stared at the chief of staff and asked: "How likely is it that Lieutenant Colonel Aoki of Hongqiao Village will encounter an accident?"
"More than 80%!" Even though the chief of staff didn't believe this outcome, the fact was the fact, so he still lowered his head and answered.
"Basis for judgment!" Ono asked with a stern face!
"If Lieutenant Colonel Qingye hadn't encountered any accidents, Tubal Road would definitely not have the guts to attack Huangtu Ridge so unscrupulously!"
"Even if they find a way to interrupt the contact between Lieutenant Colonel Aoba and the outside world, there is no guarantee that no accident will occur. If Lieutenant Colonel Aoba and his troops suddenly appear behind the Independent Regiment, then the troops of the Independent Regiment besieging Huangtu Ridge will be completely destroyed.
With Tubal Road’s consistent fighting style, they will definitely not take this risk!”
Seeing Ono's gloomy face and not speaking, the chief of staff continued his analysis: "If Lieutenant Commander Aoba really encounters an accident, Major Nakamura and our last mopping up troops will definitely not be separated again. The independent regiment has the ability to quietly eat up Hong Kong."
Major Aoba of Qiao Village is capable of killing us as we advance lightly to reinforce the Nakamura Brigade of Huangtu Ridge!"
Ono finally came to his senses and ordered decisively: "Yoshi, your analysis makes sense. We must prepare for the worst now. Our opponent is too cunning and can do anything with the screen."
"Contact Mr. Nakamura. The troops will immediately return to the station and rest. After dawn, they will continue to launch an attack on the independent regiment station along the established sweep route!"
"However, we cannot stop sending troops to contact Major Aoba. We continue to send scouts and communications troops to disperse across the river to contact Lieutenant Colonel Aoba in Hongqiao Village. I still don't believe that more than 3,000 of them will be quietly killed by the independent regiment.
The independent group does not have this strength!"
"Also, inform Colonel Kato of the situation. The brigade headquarters will immediately contact the Army Aviation Corps. The air force will be dispatched to reinforce Huangtu Ridge at dawn. Please ask him to shrink the defense line and hold on until dawn!"
At the enemy headquarters of the Independent Regiment, the first battalion commander Zhang Qing slammed his pistol on the table as soon as he rushed into the war room, and then shouted to Wang Ping.
"Regiment leader, political commissar, you guessed it right. The Japs planned to fight us in the streets, and they also deployed a large number of street fighting fortifications in the village! The Second Company was driven out by the Japs just a few dozen meters after they rushed into the village because they were not prepared.
"Street fighting means that we have to fight with the Japanese for room after room. Not to mention the casualties, we are too late in terms of time!"
"There's enough time!" Wang Ping said unexpectedly!
"Even if the Japanese want to engage in street fighting with us, they must have complete street fighting fortifications. However, the battle has only lasted two hours from the beginning to now, and our mountain and field artillery has hardly stopped during this time, and has been harassing them and their street fighting fortifications.
It’s definitely not perfect. This gives us a chance to defeat them!”
"How to fight? Captain!" Zhang Qing was more anxious than anyone else.
The longer the three companies under his command stay outside, the stronger the street fighting fortifications deployed by the Japanese in the village will become. At that time, if the troops want to kill the Japanese again, the price they will pay will definitely be greater.
Wang Ping analyzed with a serious face: "The reason why the Japanese chose to fight with us in street fighting is because they definitely want to weaken our firepower advantage. The most important thing is the artillery advantage!"
"This time, I decided not to let him succeed...because the Japanese made a very fatal mistake when they decided to start a street fight with us!"
Cheng Xiao also became interested, stared at Wang Ping and asked: "What's the mistake!"
"Keep it secret for now. You will know it after the battle starts. Contact Artillery Battalion Commander Zhang and I want to talk to him on the phone!" Wang Ping answered mysteriously.
