"Your Excellency General, just now one of our squadron's planes went to bomb, and more than half of them were lost, and the rest of the planes were damaged to varying degrees, and even three pilots were injured...

"Yaga. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info rice buckets are all rice buckets, and the Chinese army does not even have a decent air force, how can it be possible to have so many planes in our army! Isamu Yokoyama slapped the table and said angrily.

"Your Excellency General, they have anti-aircraft artillery, and they have done an ambush in advance, our planes did not know in advance, so they were hit by their sudden attack, and they also have a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, equipped with armor-piercing shells to shoot at our aircraft, and they flew low... So...

"Pass the order, whoever is arrogant and ignorant in the future will be severely punished!"

"Hey!"

At the division headquarters of the 58th Army, Lu Daoyuan was looking at the map and planning the next move, when a communications soldier ran in with the map and said, "Report to the commander!" Capture Team Emergency! ”

Lu Daoyuan picked up the map and looked at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "Check again, whether the information is true!" ”

The communication soldier went out with a telegram, and Liang Dekui on the side frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Daoyuan handed the telegram out and said, "Look for yourself!" ”

Liang Dekui took it and looked at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "What's the matter?" How could the Japanese army have so many troops? ”

"If this news is true, we will have to withdraw it for the time being!" Lu Daoyuan frowned.

"But the new 11th Division has just successfully crossed the river, and if we withdraw and fight it, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Liang Dekui frowned.

"There are still two regiments of the new 10th Division that have not reached the attack line, and even if we do, we will not be able to send them over in a short time, and the terrain on the opposite bank is flat, even if we send them over, how can our two divisions fight with the two divisions of the Japanese army in such terrain, it is tantamount to sending them to death!" Lu Daoyuan frowned.

"But we can't disobey the order of the Chief's Department, so retreat now? It's the same as a rout, and the chairman is also keeping a close eye on our battle situation, so you are in danger! Liang Dekui worried.

"I'll call Chief Xue personally!"

"Report! The capture team reinstated. The information is true, and they're only an hour away! The communications soldier ran in and said.

Lu Daoyuan frowned, shook the phone, and said, "Receiving the Commander's Department!" ”

A moment later, Xue Yue's voice came from the opposite side, and Lu Daoyuan said uprightly: "Chief Xue, there is an emergency!" ”

"Speak!"

"After half a day of fighting, our army has annihilated more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, killed the Japanese army Osasaki, and captured a military flag of the 26th Wing!"

"It's a good thing, you are really the victorious army, the Fourth Army is still on the other side of the river, you have achieved such good results, and you have a seventy percent chance of winning this time to recover Changde!" Xue Yue's tone was obviously excited.

"However, the strength of the two divisions of the Japanese army suddenly rushed towards our army, and the first division of our army crossing the river was not in danger to defend, and the new 10th division was not fully in place, so it was requested to retreat!" Lu Daoyuan said. The previous words were also good news for Xue Yue, so that Xue Yue could agree to retreat, if Xue Yue did not agree to retreat, they would have to fight to the death with the Japanese army. The Japanese army has more than 60,000 people in two divisions, while the 58th Army has less than 20,000 people, and there is no danger to defend, how can it be the opponent of two divisions!

"Is this true?" Xue Yue asked.

"It has been reconfirmed that the situation is true!"

"I can't give you a reply to this for the time being, I have to ask the chairman to give you an answer!" Xue Yue said.

"Yes!"

Hanging up the phone, Xue Yue picked it up again and said, "I'm Xue Yue, pick up the Supreme Minister's Department for me!" ”

Soon the voice of the phone from the Supreme Minister's Department came out, but it was Chen Cheng who answered the phone, and Xue Yue said: "Brother Cixiu, I have an urgent matter to talk to the chairman in person!" ”

"Chairman didn't sleep all night last night, and now he just fell asleep, what's the matter with you?" Chen Cheng said.

Xue Yue told Lu Daoyuan about the situation, and Chen Cheng also felt that this matter was a bit serious, but he said: "In this way, let their new eleventh division defend it and send troops to support them as soon as possible!" ”

"This is impossible, it takes time to support, they have no danger to defend, the strength of the two divisions of the Japanese army may not take a day to defeat a division of less than 10,000 people, and behind them is Yuanshui, if they can't retreat, the end will be annihilation, our support will also become a refueling tactic, I am the supreme commander I must be responsible for them!" Xue Yue said.

"I'll inform the chairman!" Chen Cheng said.

"Brother Cixiu, you just tell the chairman that I agree with the withdrawal of the 58th Army!"

"Have you thought about the consequences?" Chen Cheng frowned.

"Have you ever thought about it, once the Japanese army is attacking, the attack of the Fourth Army will also collapse, aren't we talking in a dream when we recover Changde?"

"Once the 58th Army retreats, the Japanese army will inevitably chase after it, and the artillery superiority of the 58th Army will be able to unfold, and we will start to force the Yuanshui after annihilating a large number of the main forces of the Japanese army on Yuanshui!" Xue Yue said.

Listening to this plan, Chen Cheng also found the feasibility of it, after all, on the flat terrain, our army has no armored troops, purely flesh and blood to fight against the Japanese army's mechanized troops, just taking the lives of soldiers to make senseless sacrifices, and the combat effectiveness of the 58th Army is still very tenacious, there are not many such troops, and it is also a loss of national defense strength if they are exhausted.

"Don't worry, what you mean is fully conveyed by us, you let it go!" Chen Cheng said.

"Then thank you Brother Ci!"

"What's the matter, we are still waiting for you to give us a big victory to boost the confidence of the Chinese people!" Chen Cheng said with a smile.

"After this battle, I personally came to the door to thank you!" Xue Yue said with a smile.

After putting down the phone, Xue Yue picked up the phone and said: "Order, your department quickly retreats to the original defense line, and after the Japanese army crosses the river, quickly launch a counterattack!" Don't worry about the shells, I'll have the logistics department send them to you! ”

"Yes!" Lu Daoyuan is on the right path.

"The order went down, all the original tunnels were buried with explosives, and the detonation line was pulled across the river for me, and the rest of the materials that could be brought were destroyed. All withdrawn! Lu Daoyuan ordered.

"Yes!"

"Order all artillery of the whole army, including mortar grenadiers, to build artillery positions around the perimeter, and order the 29th Regiment to dispatch all the means of crossing the river to meet them across the river!"

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, many soldiers who had just occupied the forward position were a little puzzled, but an order is an order, and Lu Daoyuan's order has absolute prestige in the army, and a large number of soldiers know in their hearts that Lu Daoyuan is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he must have a reason to retreat if he lets him retreat.

The first to cross the river was the 33rd Regiment, which is funny, the 33rd Regiment was the last to cross the river, and went back again without firing a shot. In order to meet them across the river, hundreds of rafts and boats were quickly transported back and forth on the general, and two large numbers of soldiers were transported back and forth one by one.

Lu Daoyuan picked up the binoculars and looked at it and frowned: "No, this speed is still too slow, let me use all the tools that can be used to cross the river, pull the rope on the rivers and mountains, and let some soldiers cross the river for me!" ”！

"Yes"!

Ten minutes later, Jiang Shan pulled up more than a dozen thick ropes, many soldiers began to pull the ropes down the river armed swimming over, I have to say that the previous plan was flawed, and it was not easy to attack the past but had to withdraw, but I did not expect that the Japanese army would send so many troops, and not withdrawing was equivalent to letting the strength of one division hit the muzzle of two divisions of the Japanese army.

In just 20 minutes, the 33rd Regiment had all withdrawn, and then the 32nd Regiment began to retreat, and Lu Hai's 31st Regiment was responsible for covering and arranging the minefield, they were digging a pit in the trench to bury the explosives in it, and constantly arranging the fuse, but it was very difficult for the wire to cross the river, and it was difficult to deploy such a long wire across the river. However, instead of detonating a grenade and explosives, it detonated an entire minefield, so it had to be done, but fortunately the wires of the 32nd Regiment were left behind.

Half of the thirty-second regiment has passed, and Mu Yuanliang's capture team has also returned, Mu Yuanliang said: "Why are there so many people, the devil will be there in twenty minutes at most!" ”

"You don't have to cross the river, bring three days' worth of dry food and lurk in the northern roundabout, report their situation, and find out their deployment!" Lu Hai said.

"Yes!"

Mu Yuanliang once again withdrew with his people, and ten minutes later, the minefield was arranged, and Lu Hai hurriedly ordered: "Stuff all the ammunition that can't be taken away with mines and explosives!" ”

Ten minutes later, after the 32nd Regiment had withdrawn, Lu Hai hurriedly ordered: "One battalion and two battalions, transfer quickly!" ”

"The third battalion and I left a company to cover!"

"You go over first, cover me!" Zhao Jianying said.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, you're still worried that I'll die at the hands of the little devil?" Lu Hai said with a smile.

"Then be careful!" Haizhiji said.

Everyone began to board the boat and retreat back, and ten minutes later, they also arrived on the other side of the river, and at this time the battlefield could clearly see the Japanese troops rushing from afar.

Only then did Lu Hai speak: "The three battalions quickly boarded the boat, and if there was no boat, they swam over, and they all took care of each other!" ”

"Yes!"

Sun Dongjian hurriedly led everyone to board the boat, Lu Hai also boarded a fishing boat and began to cross the river, and the remaining more than 200 soldiers pulled ropes and began to swim across.

The Japanese army is getting closer and closer, and if they can't successfully cross the river before the Japanese army arrives, they will be directly exposed to the Japanese firepower, Lu Hai ordered: "Pass the order, and the boats will erect planks!" ”

Soon all the boats erected bomb shelters, all the soldiers took out their sappers to paddle the water, and the speed was greatly increased, just when Lu Hai was only more than ten meters away from the other side of the river, the Japanese troops finally arrived, and groups of troops began to rush towards the position.

Lu Hai They are okay, but the troops swimming across are still in the water, so they have directly become the target of the Japanese army, Zhao Jianying picked up the binoculars and looked, but saw that most of the troops of the three squadrons of the Japanese army had entered the position, and the forward troops had already opened fire, Zhao Jianying hurriedly said: "Detonate!" (To be continued.) )
