Chapter 864 Change of course
At the end of 864, Matsu Shigeji felt very lost, the troops behind him, in his heart, would definitely be killed, this whole army knew that the troops of the 114th Division were used to break the back, and they didn't need to break the back.
But the troops of the 4th Division, they suddenly did not retreat to Taiyuan, but took a small road and retreated in the direction of Hebei, and the report they sent to the headquarters was that they took the wrong path, but who believed such a mistake?
But after discovering that they took the wrong road, the troops of the Eighth Route caught up, and the troops of the Fourth Division went on the right side and avoided the pursuit of the Eighth Road.
"The Fourth Division, they may have gotten the news in advance, so they will go the wrong way, let the troops of our 114th Division to prevent this disaster, the troops that were originally broken should be the troops of the 4th Division, damn it!" Shigeharu Suematsu thought of this and also scolded,
Originally, they didn't need the troops of their division, but now there is no way, their troops are on top, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out.
"The people of the Fourth Division, who have been operating in Datong for so long, must have their own intelligence channels, and they must have known that Sun Hao's troops were chasing after them by car, so they knew the news in advance, it is not surprising at all, they also know that they will definitely not be able to save us, so they run first, damn it, the troops of this division are afraid of death!" The chief of staff also sat there and scolded,
They would not be surprised that the Fourth Division had learned in advance that Sun Hao's troops were coming to attack, after all, the troops of the Fourth Division had been stationed here for almost a year, and if there was no such intelligence, it would be abnormal!
"Yaga!" Shigeji Suematsu still scolded unwillingly,
On the side of Xiangyue Qingji, the matter of the Fourth Division was also discussed, and the Fourth Division successfully evaded Sun Hao's pursuit, and now marched along the path to Hebei.
"Commander, can we order our troops to start running to Hebei and go to Taiyuan, it's too dangerous, Sun Hao's troops will definitely pursue it, they won't let go of such an opportunity!"
Taiyuan, this time the Eighth Route may be a must-win, if we let our troops continue to go to Taiyuan, then it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out by then! The Chief of Staff stood there and suggested to Kiyoji Kazuki.
"Can it work? Is it in time? Once our troops run to Hebei, then Sun Hao's troops may pursue Hebei, and then the war may burn our Hebei! Kazuki Kiyoji stood there with his hands behind his back and said worriedly,
Now that the troops of the 114th Division have been cut off, he hopes that this unit can buy more time for the other troops so that they can successfully retreat to Taiyuan.
"I think it's too late, but I don't know where Sun Hao will fight then, if Sun Hao continues to attack Taiyuan, then our troops will have a chance, if we attack Hebei, then Taiyuan's troops, and those supplies will also be saved,
I think it might be better this way, there are not many troops on the Eighth Road, they don't dare to be too scattered, once they are too scattered, our troops will be able to have a chance! The chief of staff thought for a while, looked at Kazuki Kiyoji and said firmly.
"Baga, then you mean to say that let our troops replan the retreat route, but if Sun Hao's troops are attacking Taiyuan, our troops in Taiyuan will be insufficient, not only the troops in Taiyuan, but also the troops in the entire Shanxi are insufficient!" Kazuki Kiyoji still said a little hesitantly.
"Hey, but it's better than when we have a shortage of troops everywhere!" The chief of staff asked rhetorically.
"Okay, then order our troops to replan the route, let them retreat to the Hebei side, and the cities on the Hebei side must also be prepared for defense!" When Kazuki Kiyoji heard it, he nodded, and said with determination,
Now what he has to do is to keep those troops, not those cities, those places are lost, they can still be defeated, but if the casualties of the troops are too large, it will bring great trouble to morale and follow-up command. This is not what he wants to see, and the base camp will not agree to it.
"Hey!" The chief of staff heard it and quickly went out,
And on Sun Hao's side, Sun Hao and they have already arrived on the side of the artillery wing, and now the infantry brigade of the artillery wing has been almost beaten by the soldiers of the special training camp who arrived before!
"Battalion commander, the troops have been arranged, are you going to attack?" Xizi came to Sun Hao's side and asked Sun Hao.
"Is the division commander's troops in place?" Sun Hao looked at them and asked.
"I don't know yet!" Kiko shook her head and said.
"Send a telegram to ask, ask if they are in place, if they are in place, our side will launch an attack on the artillery wing, their troops, they can also launch an attack on the devils on the mountain, and attack at the same time, if there is a chance, they can also quickly annihilate them,
In addition, have our artillery positions been arranged, and if they are arranged, they can also fire at the devils on the hill first! Sun Hao thought for a while, and said to Xizi and them, Xizi heard it, turned around and went to send a telegram,
And Sun Hao was standing there, looking at the artillery position of the devils in the distance, those devil soldiers were very scared now, they knew that the troops of the Eighth Route were nearby, and they could attack them at any time, but they were firing artillery, not infantry, so once they encountered a nearby attack, it was difficult for them to resist.
"Baga, what kind of battle are we fighting, we have been on the road for several days in a row, and we have been on the road, and we have lost inexplicably, and now we are surrounded by the side of the Eighth Road, what is this called?" A veteran complained that now they were all full of resentment, and they didn't know how the higher authorities commanded the battle, and how the troops were defeated so quickly.
"Everyone, be careful, I guess we're really in trouble this time, those soldiers in the infantry wing, many of them didn't come back after they went out, they probably were killed by the Eighth Road, I heard that Sun Hao came back!" Another veteran crouched there and whispered very quietly.
"I've also heard of this man, very powerful, defeated a lot of our troops, and also killed a lot of our generals!" One of the recruits whispered.
"Baga, don't say it, if those officers know about it, we will be in trouble, everyone be careful, once the order to fire the cannon comes, everyone will open the cannon!" In the distance, a soldier lowered his voice and cursed at them, and the soldiers heard it and began to crouch there in silence.
