Chapter 224: Spread the net and wait for the Japanese army to pounce
In the Huizhou Hotel, Chen Wei sent a report to Mei: "Xiao Yifei has gathered more than 100,000 troops west of Yingtan, with a large number of ultra-long-range artillery, Xiao Yifei is luring the 13th Army to move closer to him, and will deal a devastating blow to the 13th Army at that time." ”
After receiving Chen Wei's telegram, Commander Mei hurriedly forwarded it to Shunroku Hatata, commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army, and Tsukada Tsukata, commander of the 11th Army.
Tsukada was stunned when he received this information.
Tsukada looked back on all the battles east of the Fu River, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he handed the telegram to Kinoshita, and after reading it, Kinoshita frowned, and whispered: "Your Excellency Commander, it seems that it is very easy for Xiao Yifei to destroy the two brigades that crossed the river, and last night it may have been just a test firing of long-range artillery shells, but it will be difficult to say tonight." ”
If Xiao Yifei uses this weapon to carry out a devastating blow to our two brigades and regiments, and the Nationalist army pounces on all fronts, our two brigades and regiments may not have time to withdraw, and the result is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out.
Tsukada sighed heavily and said: "Intelligence work is worth thousands of troops, and Chen Wei has made great contributions again." ”
Kinoshita asked in a low voice, "Do you withdraw, or do you want to continue fighting?" ”
Tsukada sneered and said: "We are just responding, we have completed the task of responding, our main direction of attack is Chongqing, there is no need for us to sacrifice the lives of soldiers for the 13th Army." ”
Kinoshita nodded and said, "Okay!" Then I will order Commander Takeda to withdraw to Nanchang immediately in the name of the military department. ”
After Takeda received the order to withdraw his troops, he stood outside the headquarters, looking east of the Fuhe River, tears fell from his eyes.
Takeda's chief of staff asked in a low voice, "Do you withdraw, or continue to confront the Chinese army?" ”
Takeda sighed and said: "We can't afford to lose even more, since the commander of Tsukada has issued an order to withdraw the troops, if we don't withdraw, if we encounter losses, who will bear this responsibility?" Remove! Withdraw now! ”
When the news came that all the Japanese troops who had crossed the Fuhe River on the west side of Dongxiang had withdrawn to the Fuhe, Xiao Yifei did not seem too excited, Xiao Yifei looked at the direction of Huizhou, and Chen Wei's sweet smile appeared in his mind.
Boss Dai ran over and hugged Xiao Yifei, Xiao Yifei said to Boss Dai: "Chen Wei has made a great contribution, she must have used false information to scare off the Japanese army." ”
Boss Dai nodded vigorously and said, "This is top secret, only you know." There is no impermeable wall, and to protect her, we only treat her as if she does not exist. ”
Xiao Yifei said: "As you said, women are sometimes more loyal than men. ”
Boss Dai whispered: "Don't be emotional, everyone is so excited, hurry up and have fun together." Soon, there will definitely be a telegram from Chongqing and the Third War Zone. ”
Xiao Yifei nodded and said, "Immediately set up a dozen tables, and everyone drinks to celebrate the victory." ”
On a regular day, more than a dozen tables were set up, Xiao Yifei's team members and Gu Yulin's people sat at four tables, the Loyal National Salvation Army sat at one table, the National Army Army sat at two tables, Chen Yugeng's people sat at one table, Li Xianghe's people sat at two tables, Division Commander Wang's people sat at one table, Xiao Yifei Dai Boss National Army Commander Chen Yugeng and Li Xianghe sat at one table. The table is full of big fish, big meat, mountain delicacies, and a jar of wine sealed with a red cloth is lined up on one side.
Everyone drinks wine in a big bowl and eats meat, which is quite a green forest hero.
Xiao Yifei admired the boss's wine and said with a smile: "You still have the ability to make so many delicious foods." ”
Boss Dai said with a smile: "The soldiers fought for the country, threw their heads, spilled their blood, and won a big victory. ”
Xiao Yifei stood up, laughed with a wine bowl and said, "Brothers, I respect everyone. ”
Everyone stood up, Xiao Yifei tilted his neck, and drank a large bowl of wine.
Xiao Yifei smiled and said: "If you can drink it, drink it, and if you can't drink it, just lick it." Drink to the fullest, not forcefully. ”
Die'er and the others took a small sip of wine, and Tang Guozhong and Lin Hu drank the bowl of wine in one gulp.
Xiao Yifei said: "The Japanese 11th Army was finally repelled by us, and I would like to sum it up, this is a great victory for our united front and the cooperation of the whole people in the war of resistance. In this war with the Japanese army, there was not only one army and one division of the national army, but also a regiment of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, 10,000 guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, 5,000 civilian righteous soldiers, a number of military commanders, and countless ordinary people. As long as we continue to unite in the war of resistance, we will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese devils, if we deviate from morality and seek our own personal interests, then we will be sinners of the nation, not only will it be impossible to defeat the Japanese devils, but we will also fight against each other, causing huge internal friction. The interests of the nation and the state are above all else, and the private interests of individuals must give way to the interests of the nation and the state. The ancients had clouds, and those who offended me would be punished even if they were far away! The Japanese devils are the natural enemies of mankind, and we must gather the military and civilian forces of the whole country to exterminate the Japanese devils. We will kill the Japanese devils in China, we will also kill the Japanese devils in foreign countries, we will not accept the surrender of the Japanese devils who have no humanity, and we will kill one of the Japanese devils when we see them. Any sympathy for the Japanese devils is a crime. In my ranks, there is no room for hypocrisy. According to my personality, if possible, I will rush to the mainland of small Japan to fight guerrillas, and I will blow up Tokyo with bombs. Brothers, the current situation in which the enemy is strong and we are weak has not changed, and we should not think that a partial victory means that the overall victory has been achieved. We made so much effort that we only pushed back the Japanese 3rd Division. The Japanese retreated in an organized manner and there was no chaos. We have to keep our sane heads, and we still have a long way to go if we want to achieve total victory. Now that the 13th Army of the Japanese Army is rushing towards Yingtan, our next task is to wipe out the attacking Japanese troops in the Yingtan area and teach the Japanese army a profound lesson. The withdrawal of the Japanese 11th Army has eliminated our worries, and we can deal with the 13th Army with all our might. Brothers, it is still the same sentence, as long as we are united, the final victory will definitely belong to us. ”
Xiao Yifei filled the bowl with wine again, picked it up, and shouted: "Cheers to victory!" ”
Xiao Yifei drank the wine in one gulp.
Everyone shouted: "Cheers to victory!" ”
Drink all the wine in the bowl.
Xiao Yifei clinked glasses with Li Xianghe and said with a smile: "Your team can be withdrawn." ”
Li Xianghe took a sip of wine and asked with a smile: "How is my team arranged?" ”
Xiao Yifei said: "Cross the Xinjiang River, join the team on the north side and the old team of Chen, when the Japanese army attacks Yingtan, you will directly attack Guixi." ”
Li Xianghe stood up and said loudly, "Yes!" ”
Xiao Yifei looked at the commander of the national army and said with a smile: "Your department sent a division to hold the direction of Yiyang to prevent the Japanese reinforcements, and the two divisions were ambushed in the mountains on the south side of Guixi. ”
The commander nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you instruct." ”
Xiao Yifei said loudly to Master Wang, who was looking at him, "Your department is still holding on to the Baita River. ”
Master Wang said loudly, "Okay. ”
Xiao Yifei looked at Boss Dai and said with a smile: "We are waiting for the Japanese army to drill, and if the Japanese army does not come, it will be forgotten, if we really dare to come, we will eat all the Japanese army." ”
Boss Dai nodded and said, "Okay!" We resolutely annihilated all the invading Japanese troops. ”
Xiao Yifei beckoned to Zhao Zihao, Zhao Zihao came over with a wine bowl, saluting everyone, everyone took a sip of wine and stood beside Xiao Yifei.
Xiao Yifei said: "Prepare enough bullets and grenades, and I will work with you to destroy all the Japanese tanks and ironclad vehicles, so as to reduce the pressure on all departments." ”
Zhao Zihao nodded and said, "I know, I must prepare the bullets and grenades." ”
After receiving the telegram sent by the Mei organ, Shigeru Sawada, the commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, couldn't help frowning, he didn't believe the authenticity of Chen Wei's information. He thought that Xiao Yifei's team could not be so strong, and even the 74th Army had abandoned Quzhou, and he did not believe that Xiao Yifei's team had the ability to stop the advance of his team. He thought that Takeda was an empty military strategist who had nothing to show for himself, and secretly scolded Takeda as a coward.
Sawada Shigeru has not suffered Xiao Yifei's loss, and opening up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line is the result of him and Shunroku Hahata revising the strategic intentions of the base camp, how can he easily change his strategy? His forwards have all killed Shangrao, arrived in Yiyang, and will be able to hit Yingtan immediately, in his opinion, opening up the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line will inevitably be achieved within two or three days. How could he be frightened by an intelligence whose authenticity seemed to him to be questionable?
In order to attach importance to Xiao Yifei, Sawada Shigeru decided to use an independent mixed brigade to move forward, equip the brigade with three tanks and five ironclad vehicles, and fight all the way to Yingtan.
