Chapter 324: The Tide of War Reversed
"Strategist, it's not good, Hongya Province is in trouble, you must make a good deployment." After Ling Xia analyzed the true purpose of Zhongyuan Sakurako, he immediately came to the theater headquarters to find Lu Zhu Weng, he explained his analysis, and then asked Lu Zhu Weng to close the city gate of Hongya Province and transfer the peripheral corps to the city.
After all, Luzhu Weng is known as the wise man of the Heavenly Demon Luzhu, after listening to Ling Xia's analysis, he deduced a little, and then immediately issued two military orders, Luzhu Weng first sent someone to inform Gu Xiuyuan of the front-line battle, in order to prevent the Japanese from implementing the plan to lure the enemy deeper, it is recommended that each corps immediately shrink its forces and return to the camp.
Secondly, the battle line has been stretched too long, and the headquarters of Hongya Province has become an isolated city, so the three corps stationed in the city defense were ordered to immediately enter the city and deploy, in addition to the direction of the inner city on the west side, one corps was deployed on the eastern, southern, and northern walls of Hongya City, and after the front-line troops returned to defense, each corps would expand the outer defense.
After Lu Zhuweng's military order was issued, Ling Xia immediately cleared three areas from the city, so that the corps could place soldiers and horses after entering the city, because the outer corps was competing with the theater headquarters, so after receiving the military order, the corps originally stationed outside the city immediately collected troops and entered the city, and took over their respective city defense areas.
"Don Ma, the Guishou Province on the left is the headquarters of the Wulin League, and it is closely connected to our Hongya Province, the three corps are stationed in the city of Hongya Province, and the hoarded troops are a little crowded, do you want to include Guishou Province in our defense area? This will not only alleviate the backlog of troops, but also expand the area of defense. ”
After listening to Luzhu Weng's words, Ling Xia suddenly fell into deep thought, and secretly said that Luzhu Weng's suggestion was very reasonable, but I don't know why? A sentence from Zhongyuan Sakurako suddenly appeared in Ling Xia's mind, Zhongyuan Sakurako once said to Ling Xia, "Say that she and Zhong Shenzhui are here for Zhong Shenxiu, and the purpose has been achieved." ”
For a long time, Ling Xia has never been able to figure out the meaning of this sentence? Why did Sakurako Nakamoto say this to herself in the first place? Is it to sow discord? Or is it to remind yourself? Ling Xia couldn't tell the difference for a while, and after being silent for a while, Ling Xia shook his head and rejected Luzhu Weng's suggestion.
Ling Xia didn't say why, because he didn't have any evidence in his hands. Seeing that Ling Xia did not accept Guishou Province into the defense area, Luzhu Weng didn't ask much, and glanced at Ling Xia with great meaning, and Luzhu Weng began to arrange the city defense of each corps.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when the corps was deployed, Luzhu Weng put the most combative corps on the defense line between Hongya Province and Guishou Province, and the city was properly placed, but there was no news outside the city.
Zhuhan Province!
This is the outermost provincial capital among the ten provinces of Hong Kong and Yuejiang, and it is also the most marginal province in the Eastern Theater of Operations.
The main force responsible for attacking Zhuhan Province was the Zhen Long Corps, after breaking the city, his face was full of ecstasy, seeing that the Japanese soldiers were fleeing to the rear in panic, Zhen Long did not have time to rest the army, and then ordered the whole army to pursue, after receiving the military order, the Zhen Long Corps all chased out of the city.
……
"What did the Zhen Long Corps do? Didn't I order a retracement? Why did he chase it out? Outside the city of Zhuhan Province, Gu Xiuyuan, who had just arrived, learned that Zhen Long had led his troops to pursue the Japanese Kou, he looked at Kong Yikong, Zhang Huaji, Ruan Moxuan, and Pan Futian, who had just rushed over, and his tone was a little unhappy.
"The military advisor was worried that he had fallen into the Japanese Kou's plan to lure the enemy deeper, and the headquarters was empty, so he let us retreat, but now that Zhen Long has chased him out, we can't go back by ourselves, right?" Kong Yikong paused for a moment, then continued:
"In this way, you can take a rest from this cold province for the time being, I will lead the troops to meet Zhen Long, and when we come back, we will immediately withdraw to the headquarters, this place is almost more than five hundred miles away from the headquarters, and it will take five or six days to return to the defense immediately, and our battle line is indeed a little long."
"Buzz! Woo! Honk! ”
Kong Yikong's words had not yet fallen, and suddenly, a horn sounded around him, and after hearing the horn, Gu Xiuyuan was a little puzzled: "Strange? We are all here, whose horn sounds? ”
As soon as Gu Xiuyuan finished speaking, suddenly, several lieutenant generals hurried over: "Marshal, it's not good, the Japanese have counterattacked, at this moment, the Japanese are attacking Hanzhu Province in a four-way manner." ”
"What? Encircled, before coming, he had already observed that except for a corps stationed in Hanzhu Province, the rest of the corps of the Japanese Kou were all scattered by us, how could they outflank us in turn......" Halfway through speaking, Gu Xiuyuan's face changed: "It's not good, it's a plan." ”
Just when Gu Xiuyuan and others were blocked by the Japanese in Zhuhan Province, three corps of the Japanese suddenly appeared on the periphery of Hongya Province, if it wasn't for Ling Xia and Luzhu Weng who withdrew their soldiers and horses to the city in advance, the three battle guard corps that were originally stationed outside the city would definitely suffer heavy losses.
After all, the War Guard Corps was divided and stationed, and the Japanese Bandits were dispatched by three corps at the same time, three to one, the result can be imagined, seeing the three Japanese Bandits assembled under the city, Lu Zhuweng and several corps commanders were all startled, and said that it was fortunate that Ling Xia had noticed the movements of the Wolves in advance, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just as Luzhu Weng and Ling Xia were secretly rejoicing, another piece of bad news came back, Xia Yuanxiao led three corps to attack the northern theater of operations, encountered an ambush by the four corps of the Japanese Invaders, and the War Guard Corps suffered heavy losses.
