Chapter 776: Decision to Withdraw Troops
Listening to their urging and remembering what the officer said, the hesitation on Junrokuro Matsuura's original face gradually dissipated, replaced by a touch of firmness!
He seems to have made a decision!
Yes!
Junrokuro Matsuura did indeed make a decision that worried him very much!
If it was said that in the previous time, Junrokuro Matsuura was still a little hesitant when he thought of this decision, but after hearing the report from the officer, he understood that he couldn't hesitate!
If he hesitates, if he continues to interrupt, his 106th Division is likely to be wiped out!
Therefore, even though he knew that this decision was a little inappropriate, and even caused punishment afterwards, he still made up his mind!
He raised his head, looked at all the people present, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, this decision of mine is ...... Withdrawal! ”
"Nani!"
One word came out and shocked the four!
Sure enough, it was not unexpected by Junrokuro Matsuura, and after he said this, there was an uproar in the headquarters, and everyone looked incredulous, as if it was hard to believe what they had heard!
As soon as he said it, everyone was in an uproar.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, how can you have such an idea?"
"If we are going to withdraw our troops now, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
"At present, we have fought until now, as long as the defenders on the opposite side are defeated, then we will be able to merge with other divisions, and when the time comes, we will be able to drive all the way to the south, and go straight to Changsha, at that time, the Chinese army will not be able to stop us at all, why should we withdraw at this time?"
"It's crazy! What a foolish decision! ”
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, please think twice!"
"Your Excellency the Division Commander......"
All the officers retorted and wanted to dissuade them, and for a time there was chaos in the command, and noisy voices sounded everywhere.
Matsuura Junrokuro's face was gloomy, he glanced at everyone present, and then without waiting for them to finish, he directly waved his hand to interrupt: "Everyone......"
"Why don't I know what you're talking about?! I also know that as long as we win this position, our situation will be opened! But have you ever thought that since we can all think of it, can't the Chinese army think of it? ”
"They dispatched the armored company this time, we didn't even hear about it before they appeared, and now they quickly broke through to our core area, and now we are about to be surrounded by the Chinese army, it is not difficult to imagine that this must be a conspiracy of the Chinese army, and it is a plan that they have planned a long time ago!"
"In such a situation, how can we quickly take the position in front of us? On the opposite side is the position of a group army of the Chinese Army, which is so strong that even if we use fighters, tanks, and powerful firepower to attack together, it will take at least three days, but...... Will the Chinese army give us three days? ”
"Their tanks are now less than 25 miles away from us, the positions there are precarious, they may rush at any moment, the division is overturned, how can we hold out until the third day, how can we wait until the day when the situation is opened?"
"Rather than continue to hold on here, it is better to withdraw the troops directly, withdraw first, and then directly to the south to join the 136th Brigade, when the time comes, our division and regiment will gather in one place, even if it is in the face of conspiracy, we can deal with it calmly, but now...... Just relying on a brigade with considerable losses, what can we use to resist the Chinese army? ”
"I know everything, but ...... We need to think big! ”
Junrokuro Matsuura said in a deep voice.
Hearing his words, these officers, who were still noisy, suddenly lost their voices, and some of them wanted to say something, but when they opened their mouths, they didn't say anything!
Oh, yes!
As Junrokuro Matsuura said, they have already fought here, and it has taken countless efforts and efforts, and they are about to open up the situation, but ...... Will the Chinese army give them three days?
The answer, of course, is impossible!
But if they can't hold on in three days, won't their 106th Division end up being wiped out?
The tanks of the Chinese army are in front of you, if you make a decision and retreat at the wrong time, once the tank attacks, the division headquarters will be destroyed, and at that time, the entire division will fall into a situation where there is no one to command, and the 106th division will be surrounded by the Chinese army, and its fate will naturally be doomed!
They all understand, they all know!
But when I thought of withdrawing the army like this, I still felt that something was wrong in my heart!
But...... If the army is not withdrawn, will it really be completely annihilated like this?
They were all silent!
Just when everyone was silent, Junrokuro Matsuura was heard to continue: "Everyone, I know that you can't accept this fact for the time being, but ...... We can report this matter to His Excellency the Commander, and everything will be decided by the Commander, and whatever decision His Excellency Commander makes, we will accept it, what do you think? ”
Hearing this, the officers present couldn't help but glance at each other, and then nodded together in agreement.
Seeing this scene, Junrokuro Matsuura immediately asked the officer to send a telegram to the headquarters, in which Junrokuro Matsuura carefully analyzed the situation on both sides, as well as the crisis they are currently facing, and sent out hundreds of words, and at the end of the day, Junrokuro Matsuura personally sent a paragraph: "Your Excellency Commander, all of my 106th Division is loyal to the country, if it is for the great cause of the empire, it is not a pity for me to die, but at this moment the situation is extremely dangerous, and the 106th Division has been wiped out. But if you delay the plan of Your Excellency the commander, this is Matsuura's sin! ”
"Now that the chariots of the Chinese army are about to attack, our army is in turmoil, all the soldiers are stationed in the position, waiting for the reply of His Excellency the commander! If it is decided that our army will defend to the death, the 106th Division will definitely be ready to break all the jade, and at the time of the telegram, I have already ordered the officers to take out all the flags, and once they decide to fight to the death, they will burn the flags as soon as possible, and they will never let the hands of the Zhina Army! ”
"Junrokuro Matsuura, commander of the 106th Division, bows his head at the next table and waits for the decision of His Excellency the Commander!"
……
After this telegram was sent, Junrokuro Matsuura couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
He could be sure that after this telegram was sent, his 106th Division could already be sure that it could retreat!
Because, don't look at him in this telegram to describe the 106th Division as a unit that regards death as home, but in fact, this is just Matsuura Junrokuro's method of retreating as advance!
