"Tomahawk, immediately lead the reinforcements!" Yin Tonglai decisively gave the order. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes!" The tomahawk shouted in response, turned and walked away quickly.

Yin Tonglai said again: "Order, the New Sixth Brigade immediately withdraws from the combat position, and the defense area is handed over to the New Seventh Brigade, and immediately goes to the rear to deploy defenses." Order, immediately report the situation to Xu Biao's department and Yuan Dongfang, let them pay attention to the rear, and at the same time, move closer to our department at all costs. All combat units were ordered to do everything possible to shrink the defensive line, save ammunition, limit the supply of food, and enter into preparations for a protracted war of resistance. ”

After giving several orders in a row, Yin Tonglai turned his eyes to the map on the table, and he had to find out where the island army behind him came from as soon as possible.

Chief of Staff Tong Fulin asked cautiously: "Division, do you want to send another reminder message to the 39th Army?" At the same time, another telegram was sent to the Fifth Theater Commander's Department, Chen Chen should still be in the Commander's Department, and he would not sit idly by and ignore the slow march of the 39th Army. ”

"No, the 39th Army can't come at all." Yin Tong didn't raise his head, and replied calmly, already picking up the measuring tool in his hand and drawing it on the map.

"This ...... This can't be, right? Half an hour ago, they had already arrived at the Xiqi River, and were preparing to cross the river, which was less than thirty kilometers away from us, so why couldn't they come? Tong Fulin exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

But Yin Tonglai didn't pay attention to him at all, but compared it on the map with his own care, Tong Fulin was also very interested and did not continue to interrupt him, although full of doubts, he knew that Yin Tonglai must have made some major discoveries, at this point, Yin Tonglai and Jiang Haoran have similarities, the more critical the moment, the calmer and clearer the mind, which is not available in several division commanders in the same period, so in this offensive campaign, the position of the new second division is in the center, and it also plays the heavy responsibility of the brain.

After a long time, Yin Tonglai finally dropped the measuring tool in his hand, and said a little dejectedly: "Chief of Staff, we have been decided, and the three divisions have completely fallen into the encirclement of the enemy's Tenth Army. ”

"Hiss......" Tong Fulin gasped and said, "How can you see it?" ”

Yin Tonglai picked up a pencil and drew a circle on the word "Chudian" on the map, and said: "The convoy encountered a sneak attack by the enemy here, about twenty kilometers away from us, it is our out-and-out rear, in the morning our three divisions are advancing in line, it is impossible for the enemy to slip through the net, unless the enemy emerges from the ground, but they appeared, what does this mean?" This shows that the little devils have already arranged a large number of ambushes at both ends of the east bank of the Xiqi River, near Lixin Town on the right and Gaogou Village on the left, which happens to be the edge of the passage of our three divisions. Although we were three divisions, there was only one logistical channel, and after arriving at Chudian, they began to divide into divisions, so they eagerly attacked Chudian, so that the logistical supplies of our three divisions would be completely cut off in the fastest time. ”

Tong Fulin hurriedly said: "Since the little devils have already surrounded us, why don't you just come up from the rear, with the blocking troops in front and them, we can't last long at all, why bother just attacking our transport team?" ”

Yin Tonglai smiled bitterly: "This is the cleverness and terrifying thing of the little devil, I dare to conclude that this is definitely the handiwork of Okamura Ningji, his appetite is not only our three divisions, but the entire Fifth Theater troops, so their top priority at the moment is not to eliminate us, but to divide us one by one, and then surround and annihilate us." ”

"Dividing and encircling an army of more than 500,000 in a war zone, can the island army have such a great ability?" Tong Fulin's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"Not before, but now they have!" Yin Tonglai replied with certainty: "The North China Front Army of the Island Army has jurisdiction over the First Army, the Twelfth Army, the Forty-second Army, and the Forty-third Army, a total of thirty-five divisions and regiments, with a total strength of more than 600,000 troops, not counting a large number of puppet troops, now except for the forty-third army left behind in the rear, the other three armies are all north of the Yangtze River, of which the Twelfth Army is on the first line of Hefei, and the forty-second army is on the first line of Zhengzhou. The number of troops easily reaches a million, and if they use this million army to strangle us, do you think it will be enough? ”

"Don't they want Hefei and Zhengzhou? Moreover, if these two places are abandoned, our troops from the Fifth and Second Theaters will be able to surround them quickly, and they may not be able to succeed. ”

Yin Tonglai was not in a hurry to defend himself, and ordered the staff officer to change the regional map of the entire northern Anhui line, pointed to the map, and said: "Chief of staff, you see, if the island army in the direction of Zhengzhou shrinks its forces and abandons Zhengzhou to defend Kaifeng and Shangqiu, and the island army in the direction of Hefei gives up Hefei and shrinks its forces to defend Huainan and Bengbu, it can still ensure that Xuzhou is safe and sound. The entire area within a radius of 100 miles will become a giant meat grinder, the troops inside will not be able to get out, and the troops outside will not be able to enter at all, not to mention that the island army does not have this ability, so it is not difficult to open a line of defense anywhere with their helicopters and tanks, you know, the first army of the island army disappeared behind us, and now it seems that they are not moving forward according to our thinking habits at all, but withdrawing from the battlefield to our left and right flanks in the middle, and the place where they appear must be the outer defense line of the encirclement. ”

Yin Tonglai's remarks made Tong Fulin feel his scalp tingle, although he felt that this speculation was a little too bold, but he also felt that it was reasonable, and the disappearance of the first army of the island army out of thin air was the best proof.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and report to the group army headquarters and the theater command so that they can prepare early?" Tong Fulin shouted wildly.

Yin Tonglai waved his hand and said: "No need, if the enemy does not appear, the headquarters will not believe it at all, if the enemy appears, everything will be too late, and, most likely, it is the latter, the island army behind us has moved, the troops of the first army must be faster than them, and the little devils do not want to expose their intentions in advance." ”

As soon as Yin Tonglai's words fell, a telecommunications staff officer stepped forward to report that the 39th Army was blocked by the island army at the Xiqi River, and the troops could not cross the river.

Merry Christmas to all book friends!
