Kawabe Shozo just lay down on the bench in the battle hall for three hours, and before noon, he got up again, wiped his face with cold water, and threw himself into intense work again, this old devil is also in his fifties, I really don't know where he gets his energy, as if he will never know tiredness.

Shozo Kawabe was most concerned about the progress of the Osaka Division.

"Nakamura-san." Shozo Kawabe asked, "How is the Osaka Division progressing?" ”

"It's not going well." "This morning, the Osaka Division's attack on Pucheng was severely defeated, with an infantry brigade leading the attack almost disabled, and a squadron of tanks operating in concert also suffered heavy losses, with six light tanks and three tanks slightly damaged. ”

The old face of the riverside Shozo immediately became gloomy.

However, such a result was expected by Kawabe Shozo, and he never expected that the Osaka Division would be able to take Pucheng in half a day, even if the Eighth Wing of the Tank fought together, and if the Osaka Division had such strong combat effectiveness, it would not be the Osaka Division, but the Sendai Division.

"And that's to be expected." The river was snorting and asked, "How is the Kumamoto Division going?" ”

"The Kumamoto Division is not going well either." Nakamura Jun paused again, and said, "Last night and this morning, the Kumamoto Division successively sent more than a dozen arson troops, and after hard fighting, several arson troops completed the arson operation, and the fires on two hills were still quite large, but in the end, they were all extinguished by the Dameishan Independent Regiment. ”

"Are they all extinguished?" Kawabe Shozo frowned and said, "It shouldn't be, it's the middle of winter right now, and it's the time when the weather is dry, once this fire is burned, it's not easy to extinguish it?" ”

"It's strange to be humble." Nakamura said, "According to the report of the Kumamoto Division, it should be the Dameishan Independent Regiment that built fire roads on the ridges of each mountain in advance, and the Aviation Corps has already been asked to investigate. ”

As soon as Nakamura Jun's words fell, the commander of the 3rd Flying Regiment, Tadaharu Shiga, hurriedly walked in.

"Riverside mulberry." Tadaharu Oiga hurriedly walked up to the riverside Shozo and said, "The reconnaissance plane reported that the Dameishan Independent Regiment had indeed built a large number of fire escapes on the ridges of various hills at the western foot of Damei Mountain, and the reason why the fire that the Kumamoto Division had set off last night and this morning could not spread was because of this damn fire escape. ”

"Fire escape?" The eyes of the riverside Zhengzo suddenly turned dark, as if someone had smashed it with a sledgehammer.

In fact, Hebian Zhengzo and they have long considered the problem of fire escapes, if the Dameishan Independent Regiment has repaired the fire roads on various hills in Dameishan District in advance, Hebian Zhengzo is afraid that he will really re-examine this sweeping plan, because with the blocking of the fire road, it will be much more difficult to set fire to the mountain!

If the Dameishan Independent Regiment divides the entire Dameishan Mountains into small independent pieces by means of firebreaks, the air force will burn up a small area at most with a single bombing, and this will be too inefficient.

What's more, the people of the Dameishan Independent Regiment can also fight fires!

At present, the population of Dameishan District has exceeded 500,000, and the most important thing is people!

At that moment, the riverside Zhengsan asked again: "On the mountaintop near the Shaqiaogang Fortress, and on the Qingfeng Ridge on the east side of Damei Mountain, have there been fire roads?" ”

Tadaji Shiga shook his head and said, "This is not yet. ”

"Yo Si." Hebian Zhengsan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if even the mountains on the left and right sides of Shaqiaogang and the Qingfeng Ridge on the east side of Dameishan also built a fire road, then this sweep may be more auspicious, but even if it is not repaired now, it does not mean that the Dameishan Independent Regiment has not been repaired, so it must step up action.

We can no longer be too entangled with the blocking force of the Dameishan Independent Regiment in Pucheng, and we must move forward immediately.

At that moment, the river side Shozo shouted: "Nakamura-san, immediately telegraph the Osaka Division, leave an infantry wing to contain the defenders of Pu County, remember, as long as the defenders of Pu County are contained and ensure that the logistics supply line is unimpeded, the main force of the Osaka Division will immediately bypass Pucheng and go straight to the Shaqiaogang Fortress as quickly as possible." ”

"Hello." Toshishi Nakamura paused.

Southern suburbs of Pucheng, Osaka Division Headquarters.

Toshio Miyake, Kataoka Kamiao, and the brigade commanders of the two infantry brigades were getting together, discussing whether the attack in the afternoon should be added to the battlefield, because if the attack was only launched from one direction, the opponent's defensive pressure would be small, and if the attack was launched from two or even three directions at the same time, the opponent's defensive pressure would immediately increase.

The opponent's defense pressure is great, and there will be difficulties in the deployment of troops, and then there will be flaws, once the defenders show flaws, it means that their opportunity has come!

While Toshio Miyake was discussing, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked into the headquarters.

"Division Commander." The communications staff officer snapped his feet and straightened up, and then paused to report, "The headquarters is in an emergency!" ”

Toshio Miyake thought it was a reprimand from the headquarters, so he waved his hand and said angrily: "Read." ”

"Hello." The communications staff officer paused again, and then unfolded the telegram and read, "The 104th Division: I hereby order your division to leave a unit to contain the enemy in Pucheng, and the strength of the troops is preferably an infantry wing, or to leave another tank squadron to coordinate, and the main force of the division and the 8th tank wing will bypass Pucheng and go straight to Meixian." ”

"Nani?" Toshio Miyake was stunned when he heard this.

The commanders of the two brigades and Kataoka Xun also looked at each other.

What madness is the Dispatch Command pumping? The battle of Pucheng has just begun, so let them take a detour?

There is a detour on the left and right, why don't you let them make a detour in the first place, why do you have to wait until their Osaka Division has already opened up a position outside Puxian County, and even the artillery wing has already built an artillery position before letting them make a detour? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to torment their Osaka Division? Isn't it fun to do that?

Kataoka said, "Division commander, we can't carry out this order. ”

The brigade commander of the 107th Infantry Brigade, Kenji Matsumoto, also echoed and said: "Yes, division commander, I think what Kataoka-san said is reasonable, we can't carry out this order, how can we go directly to the army without taking Puxian?" If something happens to the Pu Prefecture side, our Osaka Division's retreat will be cut off, and then we will be in a dilemma. ”

Toshio Miyake waved his hand and said, "Matsumoto-san, Kataoka-san, have you ever thought about why the headquarters suddenly issued such a strange order?" ”

"It must have been Riverside-san's idea." Kenji Matsumoto said, "Who knows what crazy he smoked? ”

Kataoka also said: "It must be that the chief of staff of the river felt that the progress of our Osaka division was too slow, and in order not to make his sweeping plan come to naught, he ignored the safety of our Osaka division and ordered us to bypass Pu Prefecture and take the risk of marching, but we could not follow his orders and make a rash move to advance lightly to the enemy." ”

Matsumoto Jian'er said: "Yes, division commander, Xu Rui is not a good stubble. ”

"No, you're wrong." Toshio Miyake said, "Haven't you ever thought about it, could it be that the garrison of Meixian is empty, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it?" ”

"Meixian is empty?"

"It's possible."

Matsumoto and Kataoka nodded abruptly.

"Command!" Toshio Miyake said sharply, "The 170th Infantry Wing will stay to contain the enemy in Pucheng, and then let the 8th Tank Wing also leave a squadron to cooperate with the 170th Infantry Wing to fight in battle, and then tell Koga-san that the task of their 170th Infantry Wing is to contain the enemy in Pucheng and ensure the smooth flow of logistics and supply lines." ”

"Hello." Kataoka paused and turned to go.

In Puxian City, the position of the three companies of the eighth battalion.

"It's time to eat." Lao Sun Tou carried a load of hot food to the position, and shouted at the same time, "The hot white flour steamed buns, as well as pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, are fragrant." ”

Hearing the high-pitched shouting of the old grandson, the officers and soldiers of the Third Company, who had already been starving, suddenly rushed up.

The donkey and pheasant were on guard, and they could only watch from a rooftop, and could not go back to eat.

Seeing the officers and soldiers of the third company feasting, and then smelling the aroma of pork wafting in the air, the pheasant's stomach crowed uncontrollably, and then rubbed his stomach and said to the donkey: "Brother donkey, I'm hungry." ”

"It's not productive." Called the donkey to say that he didn't have a good air, "Didn't you just have breakfast in the morning?" ”

"No pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli in the morning." The pheasant said, "I want to eat pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, fragrant." ”

Called the donkey and sighed, and said disdainfully: "What is the pork and cabbage stew, let me tell you, after we won the battle to defend Feicheng, the head of the regiment asked the cooking class to stew dozens of big fat pigs for the brothers of the whole regiment, and the braised pork is fragrant, oh yes, and the Shaanxi oil noodles, alas, it is delicious." ”

The pheasant swallowed and said, "I want to eat oily noodles too." ”

"No problem." Called the donkey and said, "Captain Xiao He said, when the anti-sweep is won, the whole group will add food, braised pork, Shaanxi oil noodles, Northeast braised noodles, Henan braised noodles, Shanxi knife noodles, as long as you are famous, the old grandson of the cooking class can find a way to make it out for you, and you will definitely eat enough." ”

The pheasant rubbed his stomach and said pitifully, "Brother Donkey, I'm even hungrier." ”

"Look at your little bit of energy, hurry up and eat, I'll just keep an eye on it here." The donkey said angrily.

The pheasant was pardoned, and quickly ran away, but because he was too anxious, he stumbled under his feet, fell a big heel fight, fell from the second floor, and sat on a black Type 95 tank under the bottom, and suddenly made a loud bang, and the pheasant immediately covered his tail vertebrae and screamed.
