Chapter 283: Breaking Out of the Encirclement
The battle situation that took place on the front line in Taierzhuang, Hu Biao, who stayed in Yicheng, did not know. After operating on two seriously injured people, Hu Biao found a tent and fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dark. This night, Hu Biao slept very soundly.
Looking at Hu Biao who woke up and walked out of the tent, the soldiers of the spy company who were on duty didn't feel that Hu Biao slept too long. On the contrary, many fighters felt that if Hu Biao did not rest, they would have to wonder if Hu Biao was beaten with iron.
I found Qin Tianyou, who was on duty, and asked if he had received any too important telegrams, and Qin Tianyou also directly said that he had not received any telegrams from the war zone. Even Pang Bingxun, who was stationed in Yicheng, did not send them a telegram.
The absence of a telegraph meant that there was no need for the Einsatzgruppen to fight. To Hu Biao's surprise, the squad in charge of reconnaissance on the highway sent a telegram informing them that while they were lurking, they found fighter planes fighting in the air force.
"What was the outcome of the fight?"
"The telegram sent back by the reconnaissance team seems to be that our fighters have won. I really didn't expect that this time our air force was dispatched! ”
"It seems that the Fifth Theater should have made a bloody investment in order to encircle and annihilate the Tenth Division. Later, he sent a telegram to Chief Li asking how the battle was going on at the front. Looking at this time, it is estimated that the front line is also inextricably linked, but I don't know what the little devil is like! ”
"Captain, do you think it's possible for the little devil to retreat to our side?"
"Hard to say! First of all, they need to be able to get out! You know, there are more than 100,000 of our troops near Taierzhuang! ”
Although Hu Biao did not know much about the history of the Anti-Japanese War, he knew that the Battle of Taierzhuang ended with the victory of the national army. It was also the first time that the national army defeated the Japanese army on a frontal battlefield, and it was a victory that greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War.
With this big victory, Li Zongren, as the commander of the theater, has increased his reputation in the country and in the army a lot. It is a pity that after the victory of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Xuzhou finally ended in the defeat of the national army.
So will history repeat itself this time? Hu Biao didn't know, but he felt that time would give the answer!
After chatting with Qin Tianyou for a few words, Hu Biao came to the tent where the two seriously injured people were, looked at Huang Xiu who was guarding inside, and said with concern: "Big girl, how are they doing?" ”
"Brother Hu, I don't know if it's good or not! It was at noon that they cried out in pain! ”
"When the numbing is over, I will definitely feel a little pain. What do you think of yourself? Can you hold on? ”
Looking at the two wounded people lying on the sickbed, Hu Biao also asked with concern. Fresh out of surgery, the first day is very important. If they don't have a fever on the first day, as long as they take care of it, maybe they will recover after a while.
In this era, medical conditions were limited, and even when he operated on the two of them before, Hu Biao felt a little stupid and bold. But Hu Biao knows better that there is no choice at all. Without surgery, these two guys will definitely die.
Let him, a non-professional medical skill, go under the knife, although there is a certain risk, there is also a certain possibility of survival. Now it looks like both are in good shape. The liquid medicine given to them is supposed to be exerting its efficacy and effect.
"Thank you, Captain! We feel so much better! ”
"Don't be careless! On the first day after surgery, you are still in a dangerous period, so don't be careless. I'll have people on duty at night to keep an eye on you. If you feel tired, close your eyes and rest. When you fall asleep, you may not feel uncomfortable.
Starting tomorrow, you can start eating some liquids, so you can lie down for a few days and heal when the wound heals. With this lesson, you will be wiser in the future. Don't be anxious, and don't feel uncomfortable lying down! ”
"Yes, thank you, Captain!"
For Hu Biao's sincere advice, the two seriously injured felt warm in their hearts. When they were wounded, they all thought they were dead. But now it seems that they may still have hope of survival. And this hope was given by Hu Biao.
When they were rescued by Hu Biao from the prisoner of war camp, they already owed Hu Biao a life. If they can successfully escape this time, they owe Hu Biao another life-saving grace. This kind of kindness is enough for them to die for Hu Biao without hesitation in the future.
Huang Xiu, who was staying next to him, had already heard the two of them talk about the second brother Huang Erzhuan when he chatted with the two wounded earlier. Seeing Hu Biao's concern for the wounded at this moment, she felt that the second brother was willing to die for Hu Biao, perhaps because she felt that Hu Biao was worthy of him.
A woman is tolerated for those who please herself, and a soldier dies for a confidant, maybe that's what it means!
After chatting with the wounded for a while and comforting the two, Hu Biao came to the radio room where Zheng Jingwu was on duty. Seeing Zheng Jingwu who was receiving the telegram, Hu Biao did not bother, but waited quietly.
Zheng Jingwu, who had finished receiving it, translated the telegram very quickly and said: "Captain, the telegram of Chief Li of the Fifth War Zone!" ”
Looking at the telegram he had just received, Hu Biao was also very surprised: "The 10th Division has actually broken out of the encirclement!" ”
"Yes! It seems that it is really difficult to annihilate these little devils! ”
"The fact that the little devils can break through has a lot to do with the fact that they have fighter cover. It was almost dark, and the warplanes were no longer able to help. Whether they can survive tonight is also crucial for the little devil's breakout force.
Xiao Wu, send a telegram to the reconnaissance team and ask them to carry out reconnaissance along the kilometer for ten kilometers. Once a rout unit with little devils is found, immediately send a report to the company. I think I might be able to pick up some fish that slipped through the net tonight. ”
Listening to what Hu Biao said, Qin Tianyou was also very surprised: "Captain, didn't the telegram sent by Chief Li say that the 10th Division was breaking through in the direction of Linyi?" There are troops of the 5th Division over there, and they will be able to meet them when the time comes. ”
"What you can think of, do you think Chief Li can't think of it? If I'm not mistaken, in the area heading to the area where the Fifth Division is located, Commander Li should have deployed a large number of blocking troops. It should be difficult for the little devils to want to converge!
On the contrary, although there are 40 armies stationed in Yicheng, where we are located, most of General Pang's troops are stationed in Yicheng. In the case of the 10th division of the Japanese army being scattered, who knows where the Japanese army really broke through?
I think you saw the telegram from the reconnaissance team earlier. After General Pang was stationed in Yicheng, he sent a main force to stand by outside the city. General Kopang's troops focused their defense on the Japanese army that might rush to support.
If the Japanese army quietly returned to Yicheng at this time, General Pang's troops might not be able to find out. Even if General Pang's troops reacted, the devils only needed to break through his defense line and escape to the area controlled by the Japanese army, and they would be safe then! ”
Let Hu Biao analyze it like this, Qin Tianyou also thinks it is possible. Drafting a telegram, Hu Biao quickly asked Zheng Jingwu to send it to the reconnaissance team on the highway. As for the main force of the company staying in the camp, they are still in a state of rest.
Even if there is really an enemy situation, the area where Hu Biao and his party are located can rush to the vicinity of the highway as quickly as possible, and take advantage of the night to raid the little devil's breakthrough troops. In the night battle, Hu Biao felt that the odds of victory were still very good.
When night fell, Pang Bingxun, who was stationed in Yicheng, also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. For him, the three-day deadline has passed. As long as the next two days are safe, he will be able to lead his troops to retreat to the rear to rest.
With the merit of the capture of Yicheng this time, as well as the captured weapons and ammunition, the 40th Army can also recover some vitality. If the assigned recruit units are well trained, it will not be long before the combat effectiveness of the 40th Army can be restored.
Staying at the temporary headquarters, Pang Bingxun also asked: "Is there a telegram from the war zone?" ”
"Nope! The only telegram was the one sent by Chief Li earlier, telling us to be more vigilant. ”
"Be vigilant! What to be wary of? Could it be that the little devil will break through to our side? ”
"Junzao, no one can say for sure! As soon as it gets dark, if the little devils break through with their troops, it will be difficult for us to annihilate them all. Would you like to send a telegram to Captain Hu and ask him about the situation over there? ”
"Okay, then send a telegram to the Einsatzgruppen to explain the situation. His scouts should still be lurking outside the city. If the little devil has any trouble, he should not be able to escape their surveillance. With them outside, we can also feel a lot more at ease! ”
After garrisoning Yicheng, Pang Bingxun also carefully inspected the previous deployment of the Japanese army, as well as those places that were blown up. What shocked Pang Bingxun was that the place where Hu Biao bombed last night was not only the Japanese army's material warehouse, but also the Japanese army's barracks warehouse.
Whether it was a barracks or a material warehouse, there should have been heavy Japanese troops guarding it at that time. In this case, how did Hu Biao bury the bomb in the warehouse? The vigilance of the little devils is often higher than that of the national army.
The more this is the case, the more curious Pang Bingxun is about how Hu Biao did this. In a sense, this also gave Pang Bingxun a wake-up call. In the face of a night attack by people like Hu Biao, his troops may not be able to prevent it.
In view of this situation, Pang Bingxun also gave an order to the troops stationed in the city to arrange a double post of light and dark. In his opinion, this is the only way to have an extra cordon. The open whistle is easy to find, but the dark whistle should be more difficult to find.
In the past, Pang Bingxun would not have done this at all. He felt that the city was completely under his control, and that there was not even a single enemy to be found except his troops. In this case, why arrange an undercover post?
But now it seems that in order to guard against night raiders like Hu Biao, it is still necessary to increase the number of lurking posts. Even if it can't stop the night attack of people like Hu Biao, the latent post can at least serve as a reminder and give him time to take contingency measures.
At this moment, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which was still in the fierce exchange of fire, also showed the courage to die and blocked the pursuing soldiers who were biting behind them. Even if there is a fierce battle for a day, no one dares to stop the little devils in the breakout.
Because these little devils know that once they stop breaking through, it means that they will be abandoned by the division and become a member of the decisive resistance. With the continuous reduction of troops, it seems that the footsteps of the division and regiment are getting closer and closer!
