Shimono Kazuho thought about it well, so Gu Shoufu asked him to find Daisuke Kotani, the captain of the Pingxingguan Little Devil Garrison.

Taisuke Tani sent someone to look for him, and Daisuke Kotani, who had just dealt with the men and horses of the 6th Division with Captain Riehisa Ezaki, a staff officer, had rested and eaten, and hurried to Taisuo Tani.

I saw that Daisuke Kotani saw that Taifu Gu was already embarrassed, and he sighed in his heart, "Your Excellency the commander of the division of Taifu Taniya, the captain of a certain division under the jurisdiction of the 41st Division, Daisuke Kotani was ordered to come and ask for instructions from His Excellency the division commander!" ”

Gu Shoufu knew very well that even if it was the loss caused by Daisuke Kotani stationed at Heixing Pass and keeping Yoshio Shinozuka commanding 20,000 Japanese troops to storm the Hengshan base area, Tani Shoufu didn't bother to pay attention to it. After all, Daisuke Kotani and the commander of the North China Front, Jun Tada, are related.

As an arrogant Tani Shoufu, it's not that he doesn't understand the world, and it's impossible to reprimand Daisuke Kotani. Otherwise, Daisuke Kotani will make a small report to Tada Jun at that time, and at this time the 6th Division, which has been established under the North China Front Army, is difficult to say whether it will still be his own at that time.

Therefore, although he despised Daisuke Kotani's disgusting attitude of occupying the pit and not, Gu Shoufu was expressionless, but he did not pursue Daisuke Kotani's previous mistakes.

"Kotani-san, relax. The commander of this division wanted to ask, did he find any activities of the Zhina Army east of Pingxingguan? ”

When Kotani Daisuke heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Ya Ga Road, I thought that you Gu Shoufu was going to settle accounts with labor and management!" ”

Daisuke Kotani, who immediately came back to his senses, suddenly paused heavily and said: "Your Excellency, the warriors of the 6th Division in the lower ground have just arrived at Pingxing Pass, and they have sent several search teams to search along the way, and they have not found any signs of the main force activities of the Zhina Army!" It's just that along the way east of Pingxingguan, there are many guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and people have been sent to expel them. ”。

"Yo Si! Pingxingguan is the only way from Daixian to Guangling. The strategic location is important, easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is the most important stronghold when we attack the Hengshan base area. The commander of the division hopes that Kotani-san can keep the Pingxing Pass! Gu Shoufu continued to say expressionlessly.

It's just that this kind of expression can be seen by anyone, and Daisuke Kotani can naturally see it, and he feels uncomfortable.

However, because when Yoshio Shinozuka commanded 20,000 Japanese troops to storm the base of the new regiment in Hengshan, because most of the 20,000 Japanese army's grain, grass and ammunition temporarily stored in the Pingxing Pass were blown up by Wang Chengzhu with artillery fire, so Gu Shoufu also needed to beat it, I believe that Kotani Daisuke is very clear.

"Please rest assured that the soldiers of the 6th Division will not be short-cut in terms of food, grass and ammunition during the battle. It's just that there are less than 1,000 people left in our department, and the more than 20,000 imperial soldiers need extremely large amounts of food, grass and ammunition. ”

Daisuke Kotani suddenly made a request, which made Toshio put away his contempt for Daisuke Kotani.

It's worthy of being related to Tada Jun.,The brain is very active.。

Once Gu Shoufu agrees, if there is something in Pingxingguan at that time, then the 6th Division will also not be able to escape responsibility.

"Alright! I'll leave a thousand people for Kotani-san to strengthen the flat pass defense! Chief of Staff, you will arrange this later! Gu Shoufu thought about it and agreed to Kotani Daisuke's request, and then turned his head and waved to the chief of staff of the division, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, who was on the side.

Shimono Yihuo immediately stepped forward and said, "Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" ”。

Seeing that Gu Shoufu knew what he meant, Kotani Daisuke stopped talking, and then left quickly under Gu Shoufu's signal to continue to arrange for the 6th Division to temporarily eat and replenish during the rest and recuperation period at Pingxingguan.

After arranging for a unit to stay behind and assist Daisuke Kotani in defending this important stronghold, Tani Shofu ordered the 6th Division to rest at Pingxing Pass for half an hour before marching to the east of Pingxing Pass.

At this time, on the hills on both sides of the Qiaogou Canyon Ancient Road, which is more than ten miles long to the east of Pingxingguan, the white snow covers the mountain.

In order to effectively avoid the search team that the Japanese might send, the troops had already sent troops close to Pingxingguan to reconnoiter before entering the ambush position. It was not until the reconnaissance unit determined that the Japanese search team had returned to Pingxingguan after the Japanese search team had come out from Pingxingguan to reconnoiter the mountains on both sides of the Qiaogou Gorge to the east of Pingxingguan, that Li Yunlong and others ordered the ambush units to enter the position.

Because more than 10,000 people of the 115th Division ambushed the 1st Brigade and the baggage convoy under the command of Seishiro Itagaki at Pingxingguan, the ambush position fortifications left behind could be used after a simple rest.

Therefore, Li Yunlong and others led the ambush troops into the position, and it did not take long for the ambush preparations to be ready.

At this time, the situation of Tani Shofu's 6th Division entering Pingxing Pass to rest and recuperate had been sent back through scouts lurking on the hills on both sides of Pingxing Pass.

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie gathered in the ambush headquarters at this time to discuss the battle.

"Lao Li, if Gu Shoufu, the old devil, rests in Pingxingguan for a few hours, we can only brave the cold wind here in vain. What to do? Hearing the news from the reconnaissance force at the front, Ding Wei, the commander of the 28th Regiment, said with a frown.

I didn't expect Gu Shoufu, an old devil, to be so cautious in fighting, you must know that before sending troops, Gu Shoufu was arrogant and scolded angrily with the radio exchange in the Hengshan base area.

Kong Jie, the commander of the independent regiment, said: "Lao Ding, Gu Shoufu is the division commander of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, can he do this without any ability?" Don't underestimate the old devil Gu Shoufu. I said Lao Li, what do you say now? If Gu Shoufu had not been out of the east of Pingxingguan, our soldiers would have been in ambush in the ice and snow for too long, and their hands and feet would have frozen. ”。

Li Yunlong nodded, what Kong Jie said was indeed good. In view of the current situation, the ambush troops should hide on the hills on both sides of the Qiaogou Gorge Road, which is more than 10 miles long east of Pingxingguan, and conceal themselves under the white snow. What is needed is the patience of the soldiers, once the time is exceeded, the cold wind is biting, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will decline to varying degrees.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong suddenly became solemn.

"Made, whatever. The troops have been moving here, so far. If Gu Shoufu, the old devil, doesn't come out, we will provoke this old devil! Let Zhao Gang re-invent the code and electrify in the Hengshan base area, announcing the evil deeds of the 6th Division commanded by Gu Shoufu in massacring hundreds of thousands of our soldiers and civilians in Jinling. In terms of Gu Shoufu's temperament, he is not afraid that this old devil will not be angry. Li Yunlong could only publicize the crimes of the 6th Division, after all, the Jinling Massacre was not known to the world at that time.

As soon as the power was cleared, Hirohito of the Wa Kingdom was bound to telegraph to the 6th Division to enter and suppress Li Yunlong's headquarters in Hengshan as soon as possible.
