Chapter 318: To chase or not to chase
Su Jin's words calmed down the people who were still rejoicing about going home, and now the 202nd Division seems to have won the battle, but there are enemies in front and back, left and right, but this way home is not easy to walk, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Fred stood up and said, "Your Excellency, I have something to say!" ”
Seeing Fred standing up, Su Jin encouraged: "If you have any suggestions, just say it!" ”
Fred cleared his throat, slowed down and said: "Your Excellency, gentlemen, the situation is now very clear, although we have completely annihilated the 36th Brigade of the Japanese army today, the situation of our army is still very bad, there are Japanese troops in front and behind, left and right. In front is the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, which is their base camp, to the right is the hinterland of the Japanese army, and behind are two divisions of the Japanese, I think as long as people are in their right senses, they will not go in these three directions. ”
"Hehehe......"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, not because of how funny this sentence was, but because everyone was amused that Fred, a guy who usually couldn't knock out a fart with a straight face, wanted to show humor.
It is estimated that Fred also felt a little embarrassed, and his old face blushed slightly, and then said: "Now the only remaining road is to the left, and this road is to pass through Xianning or near Xianning, but there is the Sixth Division stationed there, and the 36th Brigade Regiment that we annihilated belongs to the Sixth Division, so it can be said that they have a deep hatred with us." Once we pass near Xianning, the 36th Division will definitely not let us pass so easily. But in any case, this road is also the easiest road to take, so I personally think that we should pass through Tongshan in the south of Xianning, then pass through Xiushui and Jing'an, and finally enter Yueyang to enter our army's defense area. ”
"Hmmm......"
"Not bad. Makes sense! ”
After hearing this, everyone also agreed, no matter how you look at this route, it is undoubtedly the most suitable route at present, although this road is relatively far, and you still need to spare a big circle to return to Nanchang, but after all, it is better to be safe.
Su Jin is not a mother-in-law, and after thinking about it for a while, he said categorically: "Okay...... Without further ado, everyone went back and got ready, and all of them were pulled out in three hours. With the armored regiment as the vanguard, the 561st regiment as the rearguard, and the officers and men of the whole division set off immediately! ”
Hearing Su Jin's order, all the officers immediately stood up and responded in unison: "Yes!" ”
June 27. The 202nd Division came to Tongshan County, and the garrison of Tongshan County was only a squadron of Japanese garrisons and a regiment of puppet troops. Although the Japanese commander desperately drove the puppet army to the city wall to defend the city. However, after Adele ordered the start of the artillery bombardment, the puppet army was no longer visible on the city wall in less than five minutes, and the Japanese army as the defenders also suffered heavy losses, and finally the armored regiment captured the entire county in less than two hours.
And just as the 202nd Division was passing through Tongshan County, in an office building in Xianning City, less than 30 kilometers away from Tongshan County, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba Shiro, commander of the 6th Division, was sitting in the courtyard looking at the stunned birth of an orange flower.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, then stopped behind him, and two voices rang out at the same time.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander!"
Shiro Inaba sighed softly. Without looking back, he said, "Garbage well-kun, Shimono-kun, you are here!" ”
The commander of the 11th Brigade, Major General Tokutaro Shisai, said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, Division Commander. Just now, the garrison brigade of Tongshan County has sent a farewell telegram, Su Jin and his troops have occupied Tongshan, and now they are heading to the Xiushui area, I ask His Excellency the division commander to approve my request to lead the 11th Brigade to pursue Su Jin! ”
Shiro Inaba said quietly, "Shimono-kun, what do you think?" ”
The chief of staff of the division, Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo, also said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency the division commander, I think the plan of the commander of the garbage well brigade is feasible. ”
"Oh?" Inaba Shiro turned around, looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and said unhappily: "Do you think that with the two wings of the Eleventh Brigade, you can defeat Su Jin and his 202nd Division?" Don't you forget that Ushijima just broke the jade the day before yesterday, do you want to repeat his mistakes? ”
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this time is different." Tokutaro hurriedly said: "We don't have to fight hard with Su Jin this time, as long as we can hold him for two days, as long as we can hold him for two days, the third division and the thirteenth division can arrive, and then our tens of thousands of troops can be crushed to smithereens after we gather tens of thousands of troops!" At the end of the day, Tokutaro Shikai had a hideous look on his face.
Shiro Inaba let out a long sigh: "Have you ever thought about what will happen to the Zhina Army on the opposite side once the 11th Brigade is all transferred out of Xianning?" Will they sit idly by? I'm afraid that they will pounce on it as soon as possible, what will Xianning do at that time, will it be given to them in vain? ”
"Just them?" Tokutaro Shikai sneered disdainfully: "It's not that I underestimate them, even if there is only one squadron of soldiers in Xianning City, those timid people will never dare to take the initiative to attack us, so Your Excellency the division commander can rest assured." ”
"Yaga!" When Inaba Shiro heard this, he was furious and scolded: "Fool, if the people of Shina are so vulnerable, how can Ushijima Man and the 36th Brigade be all shattered, do you still think that the Shina troops are vulnerable?" If that's the case, you, the brigade commander, are too stupid! ”
Tokutaro Shirai, who was scolded by Shiro Inaba, didn't dare to talk back, and didn't speak with a red face.
Shimono Yihuo on the side helped and said: "Your Excellency Division Commander, although the 11th Brigade is attacking, we still have a garrison of a wing, although these troops are not very many, but they are enough to deal with the attack of the Zhina, and it is no problem to support it for at least three or four days." Therefore, I think that the 11th Brigade can be completely drawn out to participate in the sniper of the 202nd Division. ”
"You, all of you are carried away by hatred!" Inaba Shiro shook his head helplessly, and then said firmly: "Anyway, I won't agree to this plan, the thirty-sixth brigade is gone, and I don't want you to put the eleventh brigade into it!" ”
Seeing that Shiro Inaba did not agree to attack by himself, Tokutaro Shikai could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and raised his voice and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, are you afraid of that Shina?" ”
"Yaga! What kind of attitude do you have! Inaba Shiro was also angry, and pointed at Tokutaro and said sharply: "You can pursue if you want, unless I don't belong to this division, I won't agree to you taking the 11th Brigade to death." ”
After saying that, Shiro Inaba shook his hand angrily. (To be continued.) )
