Ding Wei nodded, and the two continued to direct their respective units to advance from the east of Qiaogou Gorge and the mountains on both sides of the canyon to the right flank of the remnants of the 6th Division.

Gu Shoufu was already anxious at this time, and the constantly losing position in this situation already made it difficult for Gu Shoufu to cook without rice even if he was a good woman!

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the 36th Brigade of Ushijima Mansho has suffered heavy casualties. The 36th Wing and the 45th Wing under the 23rd Brigade have already suffered heavy casualties. At present, this brigade has less than 1,500 Imperial soldiers who can actually counterattack in the hands of Ushijima. ”

The chief of staff of the division, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, who hurriedly rushed back from the front-line position of the supervising battle, continued to say to Gu Shoufu with a frightened expression: "In addition, the headquarters of the 11th Infantry Brigade has also suffered heavy casualties, Tokutaro has been injured, and the 13th Wing under the jurisdiction of the brigade has suffered all casualties, leaving only the 47th Wing with about 2,000 people. Combined with the troops directly under the division headquarters in the hands of the division commander, we only have less than 4,000 troops left. ”。

"Bang !!"

Hearing this, Gu Shoufu smashed his fist on the bunker sack in front of him, splashing the snow and mud on the sack, and at this time, there were still explosions around the division headquarters, indicating that the situation was still very unfavorable to the 6th Division.

"Shimono-kun, hold your ground. Let Ushijima shrink his position, fight and retreat, and discard some positions that don't need to be defended! Ordered Tokutaro to lead the rest of the troops to converge on the division and regiment headquarters, with the division and regiment headquarters as the center, to withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army. Shimono-kun, I'm tired of you supervising the battle of Ushijima Mansuo, and you must resist it. ”

Gu Shoufu thought about it, there was no good way, he could only wave his hand and order to Shimono Yihuo.

Shimono Kazuho seems to know that Gu Shoufu has no good way, and the various Japanese reinforcements to reinforce the 6th Division are making slow progress, and the way to reinforcement is full of guerrillas from the Eighth Route Army.

These guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army had already received orders from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to directly dispatch to dig up all the roads and set up traps and ambush units everywhere on the way to the east of Pingxingguan on the way to the east of Pingxingguan to slow down the reinforcements of the Japanese reinforcements.

At least Shimono knew that within an hour, it would be impossible for reinforcements to quickly rush to the Qiaogou Gorge east of Pingxingguan.

At this time, the remnants of the 6th Division could only rely on themselves!

"Haiyi, please rest assured, division commander! Even if he dies in battle, the left wing will not be lost in a short time. ”

Shimono Kazuho has no 100% guarantee, so he can only say so.

For Shimono Ichihuo's words, Gu Shoufu just nodded, at this time, it was extremely difficult to ask Shimono Ichiho to supervise the battle of Ushijima Mansuo to hold the left flank position, and he could only hope that Ushijima Mitsuru could command the remnants of the 36th Brigade to hold on.

Seeing that Shimono Yihuo was out of the division headquarters again, Gu Shoufu's face was gloomy, and he accidentally lost all the plates, but he didn't expect Li Yunlong to actually repair the plank road and secretly Chen Cang, and on the surface, the electricity was clearly energized to anger his side.

However, secretly led the army to lurk in the Qiaogou Gorge east of Pingxingguan, and dared to launch an ambush of the 6th Division under the living force of more than 2,000 Japanese troops in Pingxingguan Pass, even Gu Shoufu admired Li Yunlong's decisiveness.

However, for Gu Shoufu at the moment, he admires Li Yunlong's decisiveness, and he swallows the bitter fruit of underestimating the enemy.

"Someone!" Gu Shoufu thought about it, let's make another effort!

A devil staff officer from the division headquarters responded: 'Your Excellency the division commander! ’。

"Immediately send a direct report to General Tada, the headquarters of the North China Front, requesting that troops be sent to reinforce our 6th Division as soon as possible! Report to Your Excellency the General on our current situation! Gu Shoufu said in a condensed voice, this is about to be a shame for the 6th Division and him, Gu Shoufu, who actually kept sending reports to the Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Military Headquarters for help, which is estimated to be extremely rare in the history of the Wa State Field Division.

"Haiy, Your Excellency Division Commander."

The Japanese staff officer who was called by Gu Shoufu only paused heavily, and then turned to the Japanese signal corps in the headquarters of the temporary field division and ordered to send a direct report to the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front for help again.

Gu Shoufu sent a report to Tada Jun again for help in the midst of hard support, and Tada Jun, who was always concerned about the battle situation at this time, also quickly received an urgent call from Gu Shoufu for help.

In Beiping City, in the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, Tada Jun listened to the content of the telegram translated by Tani Shofu's urgent telegram for help read by Chief of Staff Haruki Fujimoto, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Fujimoto-kun, is the situation already so serious? The 6th Division, one of the seventeen divisions originally established by the empire, and one of the two most capable army units in the empire, was actually ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at Pingxingguan, with so many casualties? What does Gu Shoufu eat? Why didn't you send troops along the way to search and attack when entering the Qiaogou Gorge east of Pingxingguan? ”

Tada Jun was already gloomy at this time, he didn't expect that the 6th Division would suffer heavy casualties so quickly, with less than 4,000 men and horses left? When did the 6th Division, one of the most capable field divisions in the empire, be so vulnerable?

Fujimoto Haruki secretly stabilized, and then said in a condensed voice: "According to Gu Shoufu's report in the emergency telegram, the Eighth Route Army that ambushed them not only had Li Yunlong's new regiment, but also the elite 28th Regiment and the Independent Regiment under the jurisdiction of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. According to Gu Shoufu's report, the actual strength of the three regiments and ambushes of the three Eighth Route Armies was actually as high as 14,000 to 5,000. Moreover, it was well-equipped, and a large number of mortars, mountain artillery, field artillery and grenadiers were deployed at the commanding heights of the mountains on both sides of the ambushed canyon, as well as grenades and explosives bags were smashed down overwhelmingly. ”。

After a pause, Haruki Fujimoto continued: "In this way, on the narrow Qiaogou Canyon and valley road, the 6th Division, which was stretched in a long line, was divided and surrounded and ambushed by the other side, and the ferocious firepower ate the living forces of the 6th Division that was stretched in a long line in the narrow airborne, which was already a very favorable situation. ”。

"Bagaya Road, Gu Shoufu, this arrogant and contemptuous puppet of the Chinese army! Rush to the valley of Shoufu, stubbornly hold the position, stubbornly waiting for help. Ordered Xuanhua's troops to dispatch a brigade and regiment to the south, advancing to Guangling and Wei County on the east side of Hengshan Mountain, and cooperating with a wing of the 36th Division assembled from Hunyuan to the south to threaten the Hengshan base area of the new 1st Regiment, so as to relieve the pressure on the remnants of the 6th Division! ”

Tada Jun thought for a while and said, "By the way, send a report to Okabe Naosaburo and ask him to keep the 6th Division for me at all costs." Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would not have spared us! ”。

"Understood, Your Excellency!" Haruki Fujimoto paused heavily, and then quickly sent the staff officers of the Devil's Communications Office of the Front Army Headquarters to urgently report to Tani Toshio and Okabe Naosaburo.
