The 6th Division, which had received orders from Anan Wei, was struggling to get on the road, because they had to reach the Miluo River by 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, but the weather was not beautiful, and the muddy roads after the heavy rain made it difficult for their mechanized troops to move an inch, and even if the infantry advanced, they would often get stuck in the mud.

Looking at the fast-moving procession, Kanda Masa frowned and ordered: "Let the infantry advance lightly, and the baggage weapons will follow." ”

"General, the absence of heavy weapons will be very detrimental to the battle. ”

"Chief of Staff, without heavy weapons, our troops cannot engage the Chinese army? We must be confident that the individual quality of our Imperial Japanese Army is far stronger than that of the Chinese, and even with bayonets we can break down their defensive lines. The infantry advanced lightly, and the baggage troops quickly eliminated difficulties and followed up!"

"Hayi"

The three divisions of the devil rushed towards the defense line of the Miluo River. It's just that all of them are infantry, and the heavy weapons and baggage troops can't keep up at all, and this detail was immediately discovered by Xue Yue.

He ordered the 27th Army under the command of Yang Sen's 58th Army to carry out a sneak attack on the enemy's baggage troops.

The commander of the 58th Army originally accepted the order to pretend to reinforce the northern Jiangxi region, but in fact he was to withdraw to Dayun Mountain and wait for an opportunity.

After receiving this order, the army commander Sun Du was excited.

The 58th Army has three divisions under its jurisdiction, including the new 10th Division with division commander Liu Zhengfu, the new 11th Division with division commander Lu Daoyuan, and the new 12th Division with division commander Gong Shunbi.

"Inform Division Commander Liu, Division Commander Lu, and Division Commander Gong to hold a meeting immediately. ”

"Yes"

After the three division commanders Liu, Lu, and Gong arrived, Sun Du immediately conveyed the orders of the headquarters to them.

"Commander, it's a good errand to sneak up on the enemy's baggage troops. It has just rained heavily, and now the roads are muddy, and the enemy's baggage troops cannot move an inch, and it is definitely an excellent opportunity to sneak attack at this moment, if they want to keep their baggage weapons, they will have to fight with us. If they want to save their lives, they have to give them up.

No matter how you look at it, they are all with you in this business. ”

"Haha, what Division Commander Liu said is right, Commander, you can give an order quickly. ”

"You must not be careless, although it is the devil's baggage force, but the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, Chief Xue has an order, and the devil's tank and combat vehicles are not allowed to take a step forward, so we give priority to the devil's heavy weapons. This is a good opportunity for our 58th Army to show its face, and it will be implemented conscientiously, and no one is allowed to drop the chain. ”

"Yes. ”

The 58th Army fought a beautiful ambush battle, and the Devil's Baggage Wing suffered heavy losses.

After receiving the bad news that the baggage wing had been attacked, Anan Wei circled around the sand table twice and asked puzzledly: "Isn't there only one defeated army in that generation, the 20th Army? Where did the mobile unit come from?"

"General, according to the reports from the front, this army is the 27th Army, the 58th Army under Janssen's department. ”

"The 58th Army, isn't the 58th Army reinforcing northern Jiangxi?"

"I don't know why I suddenly returned to Xiangbei. ”

For this team of divine soldiers who suddenly landed, Anan Wei's chest rose and fell, paced quickly, and then calmed down and said: "It seems that I am underestimating Xue Yue, if the 6th Division, the 3rd Division, and the 40th Division are not assisted by heavy weapons, they can only hit the Miluo River at most." ”

"General?" Seeing that Anan Wei didn't speak for a long time, Kinoshita prompted in a low voice.

Anan Weiji glanced at him and said: "Order, the 3rd, 6th, 40th Divisions, and the 9th Mixed Brigade are assembled on the line of the Miluo River, and after the Air Force assists in bombing, we must break through the enemy's Miluo River defense line in one fell swoop and destroy the 37th Army and the 99th Army." ”

"Yes. ”

At 10:00 a.m., the Japanese entered the position on time

Anan Weiji also sent the first flying regiment to bombard the positions on the south bank of the Miluo River.

Three divisions plus a mixed brigade of 70,000 troops, with the air force to fight, the 37th Army and the 99th Army guarding the banks of the Miluo River could not resist at all, the original plan was that they would hold on here for two days, and then feign failure, retreat to Changsha, and lure the enemy deeper, but judging from the current situation, if they do not retreat, it will not be a feigned failure, but will be completely annihilated by the devils.

"Chief of Staff, it is difficult for the 37th Army and the 99th Army to hold on now, and they must be withdrawn. ”

"I disagree. ”

"What are you talking about, don't agree?" Xue Yue didn't expect Wu Yizhi to object.

"Chief Xue, I don't agree with you to withdraw the 39th Army and the 99th Army. Since the Battle of Changsha, I will support all the decisions you make, but not this time. ”

"Why? Can't you see that if you continue to fight, the 37th Army or the 99th Army will be in danger of being completely annihilated?"

"Chief Xue, I understand that they are in danger of being completely annihilated, but have you ever thought about it, now let these two defenders retreat, and the devils will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and it is likely to hit Changsha City directly in one go, and Changsha City is only defended by one army of the Tenth Army. If you can't resist the attack of the devils, Changsha City is very likely to be occupied by the devils, and I will never agree with you to take such a risk. ”

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean, would you rather abandon the two armies than take a little risk?"

"That's right, we fought for a few years just to defend Changsha. Changsha City can't be lost, and I ask Chief Xue to think twice before acting. ”

"If Anan Weiji eats the 37th Army and the 99th Army, he is very likely to reverse. This time, he launched the Changsha operation in response to the Hong Kong campaign. On the 25th, Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese, and on the 26th he slowed down the pace of his offensive. What if on the front line of the Miluo River, it eats up our 37th Army and 99th Army, and he directly retreats? Then we have been preparing for so long in this Tianlu Theater Tactics and have lost two more armies, as soon as he withdraws his troops, won't he be beaten with chickens and eggs?

Through our foreshadowing in the early stage, in the eyes of the Japanese army, the Tenth Army is now a rotten army, without the slightest combat effectiveness, but in fact, the Tenth Army has been replenished, and now it can be said that there are many soldiers and generals, and morale is high. It's not that you haven't seen Li Yutang's old fellow, who built the fortifications of Changsha like an iron bucket, and I think it's worth taking some risks. ”

Hearing Xue Yue's words, Wu Yizhi's elegant face struggled, and then said: "You are too surprising and adventurous in war, I really don't know why I can endure you for so many years and cooperate with you all the time?"

Xue Yue laughed: "This is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer." ”

"Okay, you've convinced me, give the order. ”

"Order the 37th Army and the 99th Army to immediately leave the battlefield and flee south. ”

"After the 37th Army and the 99th Army feign to break and flee, we will have to see the reaction of Anan Weiji. He was both active and conservative. In order to fool him, we can't let the surrounding troops gather in Changsha too early, otherwise he will definitely see the flaws. ”

"That's right, the devil will definitely send a reconnaissance plane to reconnoiter in the air, let's wait for news. ”
