Northwest corner of Taierzhuang

Because it was surrounded and suppressed by the army of the 20th Corps, two-thirds of the markets previously occupied by the Japanese army had been recovered by the attacking troops, and the Japanese army retreated all the way to the northwest corner.

This is their last place to stay!

If this place is being attacked by the other party! Then these people, I'm afraid they will all die here!

Many panicked little devils all cowered in the northwest corner, occupying some nearby houses, blocking the streets leading to here, and arranging some defensive fronts to resist the attack of the attacking troops.

But these Japanese soldiers were all depressed, and they all knew that they were at the end of their rope, and with the few people they had left, it was simply wishful thinking to hold their positions!

As a result, the morale of the Japanese army was extremely low.

When those officers saw this, they wanted to boost their morale, but they didn't know what to do.

At this time, in a private house, Seishiro Itagaki and Gozo Sasaki, as well as the brigade commander of the Eighth Brigade, Setakehei, were gathered together, and all three of them had a worried look on their faces.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have been forced to this point right now! If the Chinese army is rushing over...... We may not be able to hold on! Sasaki said with some eagerness.

Itagaki Seishiro didn't answer, but looked at Setakehei, who was silent on the side, and asked, "Sebutei, do you have any ideas?" ”

Hearing the culture of Seishiro Itagaki , Se Wuping's eyes flashed slightly, and then he said: "Commander of the Itagaki Division, the enemy army is strong at the moment, and our soldiers are in a low mood and low morale, if you want to resist, I'm afraid it's not easy!" ”

Se Wuping's words are still relatively tactful, and everyone knows the real situation.

Judging from the current situation, if the Zhina army attacks, they won't be able to hold out for long at all!

It's just that they all know this, and it is precisely because they know that they will be sad.

Seishiro Itagaki frowned and said, "I know this, but what I want to ask is, do you have any good suggestions or opinions?" ”

"Now, I don't have any good solutions!" When Se Wuping heard this, he just shook his head and said, but after he finished speaking, he said again: "It's just that there is a way to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and I don't know if it can be done!" ”

"What's the solution?" Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki was still a little dead, but when he heard the follow-up words, he couldn't help but ask a little eagerly: "Now that this situation is in a dead end, what else can we not say!" Speak up! ”

"Taierzhuang has been surrounded by the Zhina Army, and the water is impassable! Reinforcements from outside can't even come in and reinforce us, and our only way out is to send a telegram to His Excellency the Commander, asking him to send fighter planes to reinforce us! ”

"If His Excellency the Commander of the North China Front agrees to send a large number of reinforcements to reinforce and bomb the enemy's blockade line, we may be able to follow behind the fighters, fight a bloody way, and seek a glimmer of life!" Se Wuping said: "It's just ...... There is only one chance for fighter bombing, if this first fighter bombing can't achieve results, and we don't kill it, the next time we want to bomb to help us break through, it will not be so easy! ”

"The fighters of the Chinese army are not vegetarian either! They will definitely not sit idly by and watch our fighters bomb the sky over Taierzhuang unscrupulously! So...... If we want to ask for a bombing by warplanes, we must be fully prepared, and even if necessary, we must be willing to give! ”

Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki frowned, and couldn't help but say, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Se Wuhei said: "It's already evening, and it's not long before it gets dark!" If the Zhina army does not attack at night, they will definitely launch a general attack by waiting until early tomorrow morning, intending to annihilate us with a single word! So, our planes must arrive early tomorrow morning! ”

"And once the Chinese army launches an attack, and if we want to break through, someone must stay behind to contain the enemy's ground attacking forces and give the rest of the troops time to break through! Therefore, if you want to make a picture, you must give up some people! ”

"Only in this way can we break through part of the siege, and there is no other way!" Se Wuping said: "I didn't talk about this plan before, because I was afraid that His Excellency the division commander would not agree, but now, since His Excellency the Itagaki Division Commander asked, I can only answer truthfully!" How to do it, please ask His Excellency the Commander of the Itagaki Division to decide! ”

After Se Wuping said this, he kept silent, holding the command knife in his hand and closing his eyes to recuperate.

An indifferent look.

And when Seishiro Itagaki heard Setakehei's words, there was a complicated look in his eyes.

There is a give-and-take......

If you want to break through, you must give up some people, and those people will become outcasts, and the fate is not to be said, but it is also conceivable!

After all, under the attack of so many troops of the Chinese army, it is absolutely impossible for them to survive!

Who can be abandoned, who can break through, this is a difficult problem!

Itagaki Seishiro felt a little pain in his heart, he really couldn't make this decision, and he didn't want to make this decision!

After all, he is the commander of the Fifth Division!

The first-class division of the dignified empire, known as the elite division of the 'Steel Army', was invincible on the battlefield of Zonghengzhi, but it was lost in the small place of Taierzhuang, and even he, the commander of the division, had to give up some people to break through and survive!

Thinking of this, how can you not rush to sorrow?

But he also understands that this is their only life!

It's also the only way they want to survive!

Seishiro Itagaki closed his eyes helplessly, and there was a sad look in his eyes.

He was sad for his current situation, and he was also sad for the situation of the Fifth Division!

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Just when Seishiro Itagaki was in pain, Gozo Sasaki, who had been sitting silently next to him, suddenly stood up at this time, with a resolute look on his face, looked at Seishiro Itagaki and said lightly.

Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki followed the prestige, and when he saw the expression on Sasaki Gozo's face, his heart moved, as if he had thought of something, his face changed, and he said urgently: "No! I won't say it! I will never allow you to make such a decision! ”

"Your Excellency the Division Commander!!"

Sasaki Wusan interrupted Itagaki Seishiro's words, and said with a resolute face: "As a soldier of the empire, my subordinates have an honor, and at the critical moment, of course you have to make a choice!" ”
