Linhuai Pass 173 Division defensive position

Just now, with a wave of attacks from the little devils on the thighs, the division commander He Weizhen sat down in the trench as if his whole body was out of strength, without the slightest demeanor of the division commander.

In fact, he didn't care about any manners, and what he wanted most at this time was to sit down and rest well.

Since the war with the little devil, so far, such a long time has passed, under the non-stop attack of the Japanese army, he has not closed his eyes well for a long time, it can be said that he is physically and mentally exhausted, and he is on the verge of collapse!

Not only him, but the entire 173rd Division was almost on the verge of collapse.

The battle has been fought so far, the 173rd Division has not only run out of ammunition and food, but also has few soldiers left, and it has been able to continue to stick to the battlefield until now.

But when it comes to this, it is worth mentioning that in recent times, the offensive strength of the little devils seems to have been much smaller, and it is precisely for this reason that the fighters have been able to persevere.

However, this has also become a suspicion in He Weizhen's heart!

According to the little devil's point of view, when the battle is at this point, they are obviously about to be unable to hold on, and the little devil should increase the intensity of the offensive and strive to win this position in one go, but why would the little devil weaken in the opposite direction?

He Weizhen fell into deep thought.

"Master! You're here! ”

Just when He Weizhen was pondering, a voice came from his ears, and when he looked up, it was a brigade commander under his command who came over, walked in front of him and sat down, sighed and said: "Shizao, have you noticed that in recent times, the little devil's offensive strength seems to be much smaller!" ”

"I'm thinking about it, and I always feel something unusual!" Hearing this, He Weizhen nodded and said.

"Master, you say this isn't a conspiracy of little devils?"

"Conspiracy? What conspiracy can the little devil have? For them, as long as they intensify their attack, they will definitely be able to take down the position we are stationing, and now that they have not taken it, what other conspiracy can there be besides delaying time? He Weizhen glanced at him and said.

"No, I mean, does the little devil want to divert our attention, let's say......" The brigade commander frowned and groaned for a moment, and then said: "For example, the little devil secretly reduced his forces and transferred the main force to other places, or is their real attack direction not ours, but other places?" ”

The brigade commander came up with several hypotheses in a row.

"I can't rule it out!" He Weizhen pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "That's it!" I think it's better to send a telegram to the military seat to report the situation here, and then see how the arrangements are made from above! ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, the brigade commander nodded, then stood up and walked through the trench towards where the radio station was.

Soon, a telegram had been transmitted from the 173rd Division to the military headquarters of the 31st Army, and after receiving the telegram from the 173rd Division, the 31st Army Military Aircraft Combat Staff attached great importance to it and immediately reported the news to Liu Shiyi.

Liu Shiyi graduated from the Artillery Department of Baoding Rapid Military Academy, this person is quite disciplined in military training, fierce in battle, and familiar with military books, can be regarded as a person who can write and martial arts.

Although he is fifty-two years old this year, because he has been in the army all the year round and has a strong figure, he looks like a middle-aged man in the prime of life at this time, with a bald head, a round-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses, a square face, and a rather majestic look.

At this time, Liu Shiyi was observing the map in the combat command room of the military headquarters, and when he learned that the 173rd Division had submitted a telegram, he thought it was a telegram asking for help, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately opened it and took a look.

"The little devil's offensive strength is weakened? Guess that the 13th Division of the Japanese Army has another plan? ”

Liu Shiyi's mind was full of incredulity and doubts, and he was a little puzzled by this telegram from the 173rd Division.

His 31st Army was responsible for the operations in Dingyuan, Chihe, and Linhuai Pass, and during this time, there was news of defeat everywhere, and the Japanese army's operations at the southern end were singing one after another, which had already made Liu Shiyi a little anxious.

Now that he has received this news, how can this not make Liu Shiyi a little shocked? !

Seeing Liu Shiyi's expression, Wei Bu, the chief of staff of the 31st Army who was on the side at this time, walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Come and see!" Liu Shiyi handed the message to Webb, who took it and looked at it, and soon, there was a look of surprise on his face.

"This telegram from the 173rd Division is very meaningful!" Putting down the message, Webb put his hand on his chin, muttered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.

"I feel that way too! The 173rd Division was stationed north of the Huai River, withstanding the attack of the 13th Division of the little devils, I thought it would be unbearable, and I even planned to withdraw the 173rd Division, but now ...... Seeing this message, I feel that some changes seem to have taken place in the battlefield at the southern end of our country, but we have no way of knowing these changes at present! ”

Liu Shiyi also said in a deep voice.

Webb nodded approvingly, with a deep look on his face.

The two glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes, but then, at the same time, they moved their eyes to the combat map.

Webb pointed to a certain point on the map and said in a deep voice: "Look, this is the Linhuai Pass where the 173rd Division is stationed, and the 13th Division of the Japanese Army is facing him across the river!" And around them, in the area of Dingyuan, our 135th Division and the Independent Brigade and the 9th Division of the Japanese offensive force are stationed, and in the area of Bengbu, the 7th Army and the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army are stationed. ”

"The current situation is that whether it is Dingyuan, Linhuai Pass, or Bengbu, there is a division of the Japanese army attacking, and the 173rd Division stationed in Linhuai Pass said that the offensive intensity of the 13th Division of the Japanese army has weakened, and it is suspected that their troops are secretly transferred."

"Hypothetical...... I mean, suppose that the main force of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army is really secretly transferred, no matter where he goes to reinforce the other two combat places, we should have received the news by now, but the current situation is that there is not the slightest abnormality! ”

In the end, Webb looked at Liu Shiyi and said: "If the 173rd Division didn't tell a lie, of course he didn't have to tell a lie, then the current situation would be very weird!" ”

Hearing Webb's analysis, Liu Shiyi fell into deep thought.
