At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the communications staff rushed in with a telegram in his hand!
"Chief, the urgent call from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is encrypted!"
"Give it to me quickly!"
The deputy chief of staff ordered hurriedly. After receiving the telegram, he took out the code book from his body and started translating!
Soon, a smile appeared on the deputy chief of staff's face. He handed the telegram to the deputy commander and reported: "Boss, the fight is about to begin!"
"Li Hao reported that the Japanese troops had been fighting and marching for several days and nights, and were very exhausted! The garrison had rested during the day and was full of energy and morale. Moreover, they were fighting night battles, which we are good at. They suddenly launched an attack on the Japanese army. It was just a surprise attack.
They used more than 500 people to kill at least a thousand little Japs, with very few casualties!"
"He judged that the entire battle situation is very beneficial to the garrison. They can definitely drive all the Japs out of Lingqiu City before dark, regain control of the county, and make the little Japs happy in vain!"
"Okay, it seems that we chose to believe that Comrade Li Hao's decision was right. He did not let us down!" The deputy commander-in-chief said with excitement and joy on his face!
Then he stared at the deputy chief of staff and asked: "Is there any news from Chongqing?"
"We have lost even one of our main groups. Chongqing must be enjoying themselves secretly. It shouldn't be too difficult to get money!"
The deputy chief of staff quickly replied: "Already given!"
"When we went to the Military and Administrative Department, they still wanted to delay the payment as before. Our people went directly to the General Headquarters. The General Headquarters was eager to see our jokes and was very happy. Not only did they give us 25,000 yuan, but they also gave us the money they had originally asked for.
The 25,000 yuan given to us by the World War II Zone was also given to us. A total of 50,000 yuan was sent out of Chongqing overnight and is on its way to Yan'an!"
"An order also came from Yan'an. In order to reduce logistical pressure and prevent accidents during the transportation of funds, all the 50,000 yuan will be kept in Yan'an!"
"From now on, our headquarters will withhold all the funds and dividends paid to Yan'an every month until we collect 50,000 yuan!"
"Okay!" the deputy commander affirmed without thinking about it!
Then he ordered: "Now that the pension is in hand, our worries are gone. It's time to reveal this secret!"
"The little Japs are definitely celebrating now. When we reveal this big secret, many people will be so angry that they vomit blood on the spot, and many Japs will lose their lives because of this!"
The deputy chief of staff agreed: "The major general brigade commander who just arrived at Lingqiu is definitely the scapegoat, and he is also the biggest one!"
"When we make this big secret public, if I were this major general, my best choice would be to commit suicide by caesarean section!"
"Speaking of which, Li Hao is really the nemesis of the Japanese generals. In just a short time, he actually defeated two Japanese major generals!"
The deputy commander said: "Not only Li Hao, but the entire division is the enemy of the Japanese general!"
"According to intelligence, the first division wiped out nearly 2,000 Japs in two consecutive battles in Huangtuling. Adding the peripheral blocking troops, there must be more than 2,000 Japs killed!"
"It has been confirmed that the commander of the Japanese Lieutenant General Brigade, Norihide Abe, was seriously injured by our artillery during the battle and died of his injuries in the end!"
"The results and influence are no less than those of the garrison fighting in Lingqiu!"
"We captured three Japs generals in a counter-mopping operation. This is an unprecedented victory!"
After saying that, the deputy commander-in-chief began to issue orders: "Immediately send out the clear telegram we prepared, as well as the telegram I just drafted!"
"Chongqing wants the garrison to fight the Japanese in Lingqiu City, but I just can't do what he wants!"
"The mission of the garrison to defend Lingqiu City has been completed, and it has also achieved the purpose of using Lingqiu City to kill a large number of Japanese troops and boost the enthusiasm of the domestic military and civilians to resist Japan! At this time, they have successfully retreated and took the initiative to break through and withdraw from Lingqiu City! Even if
Wearing the hat of the Lingqiu Guard Corps on our head, we have the responsibility of guarding the territory, so Chongqing can’t say much!”
"In order to avoid future accidents, Chongqing will take advantage of this incident and bring some adverse effects to our Eighth Route Army. I decided to make this incident public and force Chongqing to take the initiative to issue an order for the garrison to break out!"
"good idea!"
The deputy chief of staff’s eyes lit up and he shouted!
After reading the telegram, an expression of admiration appeared on his face, and he sighed with emotion!
"Disclose the military exploits achieved by the garrison in Lingqiu City, build the garrison into an anti-Japanese heroic force, and then request a breakout from Chongqing!"
"No matter how much Chongqing wants to kill people with a borrowed knife, it is impossible to watch a heroic army being wiped out!"
"This will not only have a very bad impact on the anti-Japanese enthusiasm and morale of the country's military and civilians, but will also affect his reputation and confirm his purpose of killing people with a knife!"
"When the time comes we request a breakout, and Chongqing will have no choice but to agree no matter how reluctant it is!"
"I will arrange for someone to send the telegram now, and then I will keep an eye on it myself!" the deputy chief of staff replied in agreement!
At the south gate of Lingqiu City, the casualties caused by the shelling to the troops have been calculated!
Lieutenant Colonel stood nearby with an ugly face. He hesitated for a long time before reporting: "General!"
"According to statistics, we lost a total of 281 people in the five-minute artillery fire attack, 54 people were seriously injured and lost combat effectiveness, and all the others were killed!"
"In addition, among the warriors who died in the battle, two captains were included, and another captain was seriously injured!"
"Because the headquarters is a key target of the Eighth Route Army's artillery, the headquarters suffered the greatest casualties. At least half of all casualties came from the headquarters and guard troops!"
"idiot!"
This time there was no guard supporting Sakai. After listening to the report, he slumped down in the marching chair prepared by his subordinates. His eyes were empty and he didn't say a word for a long time!
Even if the troops successfully kill the Eighth Route Army that suddenly appeared in the city tonight, the casualties will definitely not be much small!
I don’t even know how to explain this matter!
Now that we have lost three more captains, there is no way to explain it!
Even if he kills the Eighth Route Army in the city to prevent the reputation of the Imperial Army from being affected, he will definitely not be able to shirk away from the responsibilities of lying about the military situation and making command errors, resulting in the loss of troops and generals of the Imperial Army!
Lieutenant Colonel saw Sakai’s thoughts at a glance!
He quickly reminded: "General, I believe that our top priority now is to deal with the Eighth Route Army in the city, no matter how high the price is, we will not hesitate!"
"If the Eighth Route Army is not eliminated and this incident is leaked, the imperial army will be slapped in the face and its reputation will be tarnished internationally again! Not only will we bear the wrath of the empire, but our families may also be affected!"
"It doesn't matter if we die, we have been prepared to devote ourselves to the empire since we joined the army and took up our humble duties!"
"But our families cannot be affected by this, they are innocent!"
When he mentioned his family, the expression on Major General Sakai's face obviously fluctuated!
The empty eyes gradually became hot!
I don’t know where the strength came from, so I stood up from the chair, stared at the Lieutenant Colonel and asked!
"You are right. We can go to a military court and perform a caesarean section to apologize to His Majesty, but our family members are innocent and they must not be affected!"
"How is the civil war in the city? Contact them right away. I want to know how many Eighth Route Army troops we have not wiped out!"
Before the commander could move, a lieutenant rushed over from the city gate tower!
His whole body was blackened by gunfire, and he was still wearing a bandage. The red blood seeped out from the muzzle of the gun due to the violent exercise, dyeing the bandage red!
Walking over and standing in front of Sakai, a pungent smell of blood and gunpowder smoke hit my face!
Sakai frowned subconsciously, and just as he was about to speak, the lieutenant gasped and reported!
"General, the fighting in the city was very fierce, and the troops suffered heavy casualties!"
"The Eighth Route Army is so cunning. They wear imperial army uniforms, use imperial army weapons, and appear in the city to attack us. The warriors have no way of guarding against us!"
"Also, our troops in the city are all disrupted, and there are so many formations that the commander can't tell the soldiers apart, and the soldiers don't recognize the commander!"
"The Eighth Route Army took advantage of the fact that they were wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army and took advantage of the troubled waters. They sneaked into the Imperial Army and used sneak attacks to provoke internal fighting among the Imperial Army!"
"There have been several incidents of battles between the imperial army and the imperial army in the city!"
"Although the misunderstanding was resolved in the end, at least four to five hundred imperial troops died under the gunpoint of our own people!"
"Bagaya Road, how could this happen!" Major General Sakai was confused. The last glimmer of hope for self-rescue slowly disappeared because of this report!
"General, something happened!"
At this time, a Japanese communications soldier suddenly rushed over, holding a telegram in his hand, and stood in front of Sakai as if adding fuel to the fire!
"The radio station just received a clear telegram, which was sent by the Eighth Route Army headquarters!"
"They said on the telegram..."
Seeing Sakai's face slowly turn pale, he seemed to have aged several years instantly, without any strength at all!
When the communications officer's words came to his lips, he swallowed them back!
The next content of the telegram was so shocking that he was afraid that he would say it. Sakai was directly hit by the attack and vomited blood on the spot!
"Tell me quickly, what did the telegram say? Don't hesitate!" Lieutenant Colonel ordered hurriedly!
This matter is also related to the fate of several of their captains!
Although Sakai bears the main responsibility, he cannot escape joint liability, so he is also very anxious!
The communications staff officer no longer hesitated: "The telegram said that Lingqiu City is still under the control of the garrison, and there is still a garrison fighting in the city, and they are confident that they can continue to defend Lingqiu City!"
"Also, they just wiped out more than 2,000 imperial troops in Huangtu Ridge and killed Lieutenant General Norihide Abe's brigade commander with artillery fire!"
"On other battlefields, units of the Eighth Route Army took the initiative and wiped out more than 2,000 imperial troops in just one day and one night!"
"After this period of stalemate fighting, they began to fight back!"
"Ah...Pfft..."
Major General Sakai and the expected hopes did not hold up.
A large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, and then he collapsed on the ground, fainted from the fright of the bad news!
Lieutenant Colonel was also frightened. When he reacted, Sakai was already unconscious on the ground!
The guard next to him became anxious and rushed over. It took a long time to wake him up!
At this time, Sakai's eyes became hollow again, without any fluctuation at all!
His face was pale, without any color at all!
He knew he was finished!
