Chapter 362: Anan Wei ran away
The situation of the Battle of Changsha also spread to Yan'an.
Everyone was a little surprised by the combat effectiveness of Li Lei's troops.
This little thunderbolt actually went to Wuhan with his troops!
How did he get there?
From Hunan to Wuhan, you have to pass through many places on the way, and it is very difficult not to be discovered by devils.
In this Changsha battle, the 11th Army of the Japanese army fought like this, and the great man and the boss had already judged it.
Anan Weiji, who was in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, actually dared to attack directly when the troops were insufficient.
This is too sloppy.
The trick of the tiger cub lures the snake out of the hole, which is very clever.
However, according to the New Fourth Army, this idea seems to have been given to the tiger boy by Li Lei.
When Xiao Leizi comes back, ask him, is it true?
"Now the Changsha War is about to end. If nothing else, Wuhan can be recaptured.
The whole war situation is about to change! Wei took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the map.
The boss nodded happily: "Yes, now, as you said, the war has reached the stage of stalemate." Our next step is to begin. ”
The great man nodded: "It's going to start immediately." However, I think Li Lei's new brigade seems to be a little dangerous. His troops were now alone and could easily be surrounded by the Japanese. ”
The boss also agreed: "Tiger Boy wants to hold down the 33rd Division and Saeda Detachment of the Japanese Army in Hunan." The idea is very good. But success is unlikely.
Anan is only a few times in Wuhan, and the 33rd Division and the Saeda Detachment will definitely retreat to Wuhan at all costs.
In that case, Li Lei's new brigade will be in danger. ”
"We have to help Li Lei. Isn't our New Fourth Army not far from Li Lei's troops? I think I can send it.
The 33rd Division and the Saeda Detachment of the Japanese Army are now trapped in Hunan, and although they have the ability to withdraw, it is estimated that they will also lose their troops.
Let the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the New Fourth Army send troops to Xianning to stop the 33rd Division and the Saeda Detachment of the Japanese Army. When the time comes, together with Tiger Boy and Lao Chen's troops, surround and annihilate them! ”
The New Fourth Army, which received the order, immediately began to move in the direction of Xianning.
Escort Li Lei's attack on Wuhan.
At the same time, just in case, the New Fourth Army sent troops from one brigade to support Li Lei for Li Lei's direct command.
This surprised Li Lei.
I command a brigade of the New Fourth Army?
Are you kidding?
What do I do?
If a random brigade commander of the New Fourth Army takes it out, it's all a fierce man!
No, resolutely not.
After Li Lei received the telegram from the head of the New Fourth Army, he instinctively refused.
As a result, the chief sent a telegram and scolded a bloody dog.
Roughly speaking, if you are asked to command, you will command, hypocritical! It's not that you're in command all the time.
This is not like your Li Lei's style.
Haven't you always been afraid of heaven and earth? Commanding a brigade, what do you have to be afraid of?
This scolding woke up Li Lei.
yes, what am I afraid of?
I'm a brigade commander now!
After receiving the order, the 1st and 2nd Divisions immediately set off and quickly advanced towards Xianning.
And the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division marched directly in the direction of Wuchang.
Li Lei's new brigade attacked Wuchang very fiercely, and now his troops have reached the outskirts of Wuchang.
Zhou Weiguo was very well there, and had already occupied the airfield of the Japanese army.
But three planes were damaged.
But that's already very good.
Now that the Japanese army had no planes, Li Lei immediately gave Wang Han an order to let his planes start bombing the Japanese troops in Wuchang.
And his ground forces are steadily advancing towards Wuchang.
Li Da's new third regiment fought very bravely, because there were tanks in front, so the Japanese army was not the opponent of the new third regiment at all.
Plus the equipment of the 2nd Division is not good at all.
Now the equipment of Li Lei's new 1st Brigade is even better than that of Tiger Boy's Eighth Army.
In addition to tanks, there are artillery pieces, mortars of various calibers, and as for light and heavy machine guns, those are all basic configurations.
The second division was originally a C-level division, and its combat effectiveness was not good.
Plus in Wuchang, their troops are not very numerous.
Therefore, the speed of advance of the new 1st Brigade is very fast.
In just two hours, it has already reached the outskirts of Wuchang City.
The attack on both flanks was a little slower, after all, there were no tanks, and the speed of the advance was not as fast as the New Third Regiment, but it was not much worse.
The battle of Wuchang attracted the devils of Hankou and Hanyang.
Anan Weixin did not expect that Li Lei's new brigade would be so strong in combat that the second division would be beaten to pieces.
So far, Anan has only beaten him a few times.
The palace organs have no clue at all.
Konoe Wen frowned, thought for a while and said to Anan Weiji: "Your Excellency Commander, could this mysterious force be the mysterious force in Nanshan?" ”
Well?
Anan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up.
Quite possibly.
The combat effectiveness is so strong, he really can't think of which unit of the tiger boy is so powerful.
Even his Eighth and Seventy-fourth Armies could not have been so powerful.
This must be the mysterious force of Nanshan.
Yaga!
Anan Wei sighed in his heart, if it was that army, then Wuhan would be dangerous.
"What about the 33rd Division and the Saeda detachment? Where did their troops go? ”
Now it is simply impossible to count on the 2nd Division.
He knew that the combat effectiveness of the Second Division was not very good, but he didn't know that their combat effectiveness was so bad!
There are too many first-class divisions like the 33rd Division.
Konoe Wen said to Anan Yuji: "The 33rd Division is stepping up its retreat, but the troops of Tiger Boy are chasing very closely.
Saeda's detachment was a little better, because it retreated quickly and was currently out of battle with the other side. It is expected that the Saeda detachment will be able to reach Wuchang in two days. ”
Two days?
Anan Wei was depressed and thought that Lao Tzu would have died two days later.
According to the current speed of the opponent's attack, Wuchang will be defeated in one day at most.
It won't go on like this.
Anan Weiji said with a gloomy face: "It's too dangerous here, our headquarters must be transferred immediately." ”
Konoe wanted to say this for a long time, but he didn't dare to speak.
It's a transfer, but it's actually an escape.
In case Anan Wei is deducted from a hat to escape, then his position as chief of staff will not be kept.
"Commander, I suggest that our headquarters be transferred to Huoshan, which is the occupied area of the Second Army, although most of their troops have been transferred south, but it is definitely no problem to protect themselves."
Huo Shan?
Anan looked at the map.
Yo West!
There were defenders of the Second Army in Huoshan, and they were easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Tiger Boy's troops, even if they have the heart, are powerless to attack Huoshan.
"Order, the headquarters immediately moved to Huoshan. The 33rd Division and the Saeda detachment were ordered to launch an attack on the enemy as soon as they arrived at Wuhan, and Wuhan must be recaptured. ”
As soon as Anan finished speaking, gunshots suddenly rang out outside.
What's going on?
Anan was just about to ask, when a devil hurriedly ran in: "Report, a small force with very strong combat effectiveness is coming towards the headquarters!" ”
Konoe Wen's heart suddenly chuckled.
Small units with strong combat effectiveness??
Could it be the small force that annihilated Takeshita's army?
An ominous premonition welled up in his heart: "Your Excellency, Commander, we must retreat immediately!" The target of that force must be our headquarters. ”
Anan Wei said with a dark face: "Retreat immediately!" ”
Soon, Anan's headquarters, under the cover of a brigade of devils, retreated to Hankow.
Then through Hankow, retreat to Huoshan.
By the time Xu Hu took the special operations battalion into the headquarters of Anan Weiji, it was already empty.
Dog's breakfast.
it!
Xu Hu cursed and let that Anan Wei run away!
He immediately sent a report to Li Lei and reported the situation here.
How long did Anan run away?
Li Lei was stunned, this old bastard ran fast enough.
Li Lei ordered Xu Hu to immediately pursue.
Be sure to catch up with Anan Yuki.
If there are too many devils, don't attack rashly, report their location and wait for the big army.
Anan only ran away, and now Wuchang will be easy to fight.
Just when Li Lei was attacking Wuchang, the 33rd Division of the Japanese army, after losing half of its troops, finally retreated from northern Xiangbei.
Much annoyed the tiger cub.
The troops of the three armies attacked, but they were stunned and let the 33rd Division run away.
This was unacceptable to him for a while.
The 33rd Division of the Japanese army retreated, and in this case, Li Lei would be in danger.
Lao Chen's troops had not yet reached Tongcheng, and they could not be stopped at all.
Now Li Lei is in trouble.
Lao Wu sighed: "No way, our three armies have done their best." The casualties of the troops were very large, and their three armies were poorly equipped and had uneven personnel, so it was not easy to fight like this. ”
Of course, Tiger Cub knows it.
These three armies, without any heavy weapons, dragged the 33rd Division and regiments, and completely relied on human lives to fill it.
But now that the 33rd Division has run away, Li Lei will be very dangerous.
He had only one brigade of troops, and he simply could not compete with the 33rd Division.
Just a little bit!
It's just a little bit!
As long as the 33rd Division can be delayed for another day, Li Lei will definitely be able to defeat Wuchang.
Now, it's hard to say!
"What about the Japanese Saeda detachment?" Tiger Boy asked.
"The Saeda detachment has also retreated."
"What?" Tiger Boy was stunned: "When did it happen?" How did I not know? ”
Chief of Staff Wu stretched out his hand and took out a telegram: "News just arrived." ”
Tiger Cub's brow furrowed.
Damn, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army and the Saeda Detachment, both retreated.
Isn't the plan to seize Wuhan about to fail?
Tiger Boy was very depressed, these two Japanese troops ran away, and it would be difficult to surround them again.
It would have been possible to annihilate these two armies!
As long as Lao Chen's troops rushed to Tongcheng, the rear road of the Japanese army was cut off!
But now......
Tiger Cub's heart is a mess.
The good situation suddenly became boring.
