Umezu Yoshijiro was determined to fight a battle with the Eighth Route Army, and his order was quickly conveyed to all units, demanding that they must cross the defensive line established by the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible, no matter how heavy the casualties were.

Umezu Mijiro was forced to such a point that he had to do it, and on the other side, Takayuki Yamada looked at the telegram sent by the commander Umezu Mijiro, and he didn't feel relaxed after reading it.

Commander Umezu Mijiro asked him to hold out for three days, but Takayuki Yamada understood that there were too many changes, and he was indeed sure to carry Li Ping and them for three days, but what about the commander's side! Whether reinforcements will arrive in time is not a matter of time.

"Chief of Staff, prepare to retreat, holding on to three days is the minimum estimate, and we must be prepared to hold on for more than five days."

"You order the troops, give up all the equipment that should be abandoned, everything is important as soon as we keep the troops, with the troops, we can immediately arm ourselves when we return to the Linjiang side."

"Yes, division commander."

Takayuki Yamada was ready to retreat, but he knew very well that the retreat must not be chaotic, otherwise Li Ping would be killed.

In the command headquarters, Li Ping looked at the telegram, and the chief of staff also widened his eyes at this time, and said in a lost voice: "Yamada Takashi retreats?" What did he think again? At this time, the position of Dayingpo is under our control, where can he run? ”

Li Ping's face was full of seriousness when he heard this, and he immediately said: "I have to guard against it, Yamada Takayuki should want to go back to Linjiang to join the troops." ”

"Chief of Staff, immediately mobilize troops and tightly control the Dayingpo defense line."

"Order the other ministries not to let the devils throw off the distance between us and them."

"Yes, Captain."

Li Ping pressed step by step, on the other hand, Takayuki Yamada gritted his teeth at Li Ping's way of fighting, Li Ping's reaction was too fast, and the execution of the troops was strong, and now it seems that he must think of other ways.

The anxious Takayuki Yamada was sweating profusely at this time, time was too important for him, and now every minute and every second was related to the survival of the division.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Takayuki Yamada was awakened by the sound of an explosion in the distance, and he looked up at the observation port, looking at the vague shelling in the distance, and soon his expression moved, and then his eyes flashed with struggle, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"Chief of Staff, you immediately order our troops, gather the artillery units, remember, all the remnants of the artillery units."

The chief of staff of the devil looked at Takayuki Yamada's solemn explanation, he looked confused, and blurted out and asked, "Division commander, who are you?" ”

"Go ahead and do it, it's up to them to see if we can leave safely." , Takayuki Yamada explained in the ear of the chief of staff after speaking.

The chief of staff of the devil gasped after hearing this, but he quickly reacted, and there was no way for the division commander to do this.

"Division Commander, don't worry! I'll convince them. ”

After the chief of staff of the devil finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left, Yamada Takayuki sighed softly, from today onwards, I am afraid that I will also fall into the name of being mean and unkind, greedy for life and afraid of death.

The orderly coordinated retreat made it impossible for the troops of the Eighth Route Army to complete the interspersed operations, and in the command center, Li Ping walked back and forth in the command center, and the chief of staff was also irritable.

"Captain, Commander Li sent a telegram from there, and his advance was also blocked, asking when we would be able to deal with Takayuki Yamada and reinforce the past." , the political commissar came over with a telegram, and after finishing speaking, he handed the telegram to Li Ping.

After reading the telegram, the corners of Li Ping's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "I thought we were in trouble here, but I didn't expect that Commander Li is in trouble now." ”

"Look, the devils who blocked Commander Li are almost armed to the teeth."

After reading the telegram, the chief of staff also felt numb, and said in a lost voice: "Captain, is Umezu Mijiro crazy, how much capital does it cost to mobilize so many planes to help the war, as well as the steel defense line of the devil troops on the ground?" ”

The political commissar shook his head seriously when he heard this, and said: "Old Yang, it's not that Umezu Mijiro is crazy, he should know very well that if he can't keep Linjiang, he has lost more." ”

Li Ping patted his neck when he heard this, and sighed: "So it's understandable that Commander Li was blocked!" It's really getting more and more troublesome. ”

After finishing speaking, he covered his forehead and rubbed it gently, and the political commissar and the chief of staff looked at each other and shrugged helplessly, this situation is the situation that everyone will face next.

The headquarters became a little quiet, and at this time, a staff officer came over and reported: "Captain, the front-line troops report that all the units of Takayuki Yamada are consciously approaching the defense area on the side of the Daying Slope, and there is a possibility of breaking through and escaping. ”

Li Ping nodded slightly when he heard this, when Takayuki Yamada has a tendency to retreat, then approaching the side of Dayingpo is an inevitable choice.

"Order the troops to block, as long as you block the breakthrough of Takayuki Yamada, we will fight next."

After Li Ping finished speaking, the chief of staff nodded and let the staff officer leave, and the three began to discuss.

On the side of Dayingpo, the troops are well prepared, and the devils are about to break through.

One by one, the devil troops approached quickly, and at this time, Takayuki Yamada observed the opposite position, and when he thought of his feelings, he felt distressed and convulsed.

"Chief of Staff, how many troops have not come closer?"

Yamada Takayuki showed anxiety on his face after asking, this is not a good place to stay, once Li Ping's troops come, he can directly let himself have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.

"Division commander, except for the blocking troops, the rest have arrived."

"Whew"

Takayuki Yamada exhaled and immediately said, "Let's do it!" We've got to get through here fast. ”

"Yes, division commander."

When the artillery fire began to cover, the regimental commanders on the positions had red eyes.

"What are the artillerymen for, hurry up and find the location of the devil artillerymen and kill them."

The roar of the regiment commander was heard far away, and at this time, the chief of staff ran over with an ugly face and said to the regiment commander: "Regiment commander, the situation is not right, Takayuki Yamada's artillery is not in this area, we need time to determine their position." ”

"What? If they are not in this area, they will not be able to fly. ”

The regiment commander asked rhetorically, and the chief of staff immediately explained carefully, and after the regiment commander reacted, he and the chief of staff looked at each other and understood that something was very wrong.

"Quick, send a telegram to the detachment commander and report the situation, what's the matter, I'm afraid Takayuki Yamada has a lot of plans."

After speaking, the regiment commander picked up the binoculars and looked at it, at this time, the devil's artillery fire began to extend, and Yamada Takayuki also began to order the troops to attack quickly, taking advantage of the artillery bombardment to prepare to break the defense line of the Eighth Route Army in one go.

In the headquarters, Li Ping's discussion was interrupted by a staff officer.

"What? Artillery fire all the way? ”

The corners of Li Ping's mouth twitched, this kind of play is his favorite, but he didn't expect Takayuki Yamada to be on him soon.

"Find, find the devil artillery position, and destroy them, otherwise Takayuki Yamada may really run out."
