Chapter 823: Mission
"Die!"
Ma Yunshan roared, the bloody long knife in his hand shot out like an arrow, but he didn't look at it, he flew into the mountains and forests, surrounded by countless Japanese soldiers who heard the gunshots and outflanked them, and if they didn't escape, when these Japanese troops formed an encirclement, then everything would be over!
Being able to kill devils is worth it even if it is death for Ma Yunshan, but he knows very well that he is now first a soldier of the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment, and then the former Jianghu man who was half a member of the horse gang and half a bandit.
Woohoo!
Several Japanese soldiers opened fire, and then looked at the military cao, their hearts were tight but they didn't dare to chase down anymore - their military cao, at this moment, had merged with the big tree behind him, and the long knife shot out of his hand pierced his chest, nailing it to the tree, and the blood in his mouth was gushing, and he couldn't survive.
Shao Zuo came with a large army, but when he saw the bloodstains all over the ground and the corpses of four or five soldiers, as well as the military Cao who was nailed to the tree, his face was extremely pale, and then he heard that the other party not only single-handedly killed so many soldiers but also escaped smoothly, so he was even more angry and his teeth were itching, and he roared sharply: "Now that the news that our army wants to use the railway to transport troops has leaked, the people of China will definitely destroy the railway desperately - bring the map and check it for me, the railway near here, Where are the most vulnerable to destruction and the least troops! ”
The map unfolded, and the terrain and troop layout along the railway line were all in view, as if they were in the scene, and they were reflected in the mind of the young man.
The terrain around is gentle, and it is extremely difficult to destroy the railways in these places, not only because the railways in these places are easy to find and repair even if they are blown up, but also because once these locations are detected, it is impossible to get out of the way!
"Telegraph to the headquarters, these two locations will be the areas where the people of China will attack with all their might, and request Your Excellency the General to send heavy troops to defend them strictly!"
Shao Zuo's pen pointed fiercely on the map, which were Yunfengkou and Shaxiba, which were close to the mountain range.
Xuzhou, inside the forward military headquarters of the Japanese army.
"Your Excellency General, Mitsui Fu Shaozo called, the people of China have already guessed the plan of our army, and tonight they found a large number of secret agents disguised as refugees and approaching the railway line, one of them has escaped, Yunfengkou and Shaxi Dam are the most vulnerable locations along the railway, please consider it!" The commander said.
"Yaga!"
As soon as they heard this report, many Japanese generals couldn't help but curse angrily, and now they watched the Zhina army fall into the pre-arranged trap step by step, but they didn't expect that there was a mistake now, and it was simply a ghost fire that made many Japanese generals angry!
In a few hours, the special train transporting reinforcements will pass through Xuzhou and send to Kaifeng, and at most tomorrow evening will arrive at the front line of the battle, and then everything will be done, who knows that at this time the whereabouts will be revealed!
Shouichi Terauchi is also pale, and the fat in his mouth may fly like this, how can he not be angry?
"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, as long as you are not an immortal, it is unpredictable, Your Excellency the general, don't blame yourself too much......" Nishio Shou said.
"Self-blame?"
Terauchi Shouichi sneered: "The battle is not over for a moment, and it is far from the time to blame yourself - let the surrounding emperors and the imperial army all rush to the railway line to defend to the death, and at the same time order the Sakagaki Division and the 10th Brigade to march towards Guandu at full speed, if the reinforcements cannot arrive on time, they need to defeat the enemy of Guandu at all costs and rush to the aid of Zhongmu!"
"At the same time, I order the 16th Division to defeat Huang Jie's headquarters before noon tomorrow, and quickly move closer to the periphery of Zhongmu to form a flanking siege!"
"Hi ......"
Many Japanese generals received the order in unison, and they admired the arrangement of His Excellency the General to the extreme.
In this way, even if the Shina Army really destroys the railway and the reinforcements cannot arrive on time, as long as either the 16th Division or the Sakagaki Division breaks through the defensive line, it can greatly reduce the pressure on Zhongmu, buy a lot of time for all follow-up operations, and at the same time entangle the main force of the Shina Army, so that the opponent cannot easily leave the battlefield.
At that time, as long as the reinforcements mobilized from Tianjin Beiping arrive, these hundreds of thousands of bold and reckless Chinese troops will become turtles in the urn!
However, Nishio Shouzo's face was still very unsightly, and only after many generals retreated, he said: "Your Excellency, the Chinese army has shown unparalleled determination in this battle because of the arrival of Lu Yuan, I am afraid that if you don't fight to a single soldier, you will never stop easily, I am afraid that whether it is the Sakagaki Division or the 16th Division, it will not be so easy to break through the defense line of the Chinese Army......"
"Do you think I don't know?"
Terauchi Shouichi snorted: "But the curtain has now been opened, whether it is us or the Zhina army, there is no way to retreat, no matter what the result is, this battle, we must continue to fight - you personally lead a cavalry wing to supervise the battle along the railway, so as to ensure that the railway transportation is safe and sound, all our hopes are on these two secret divisions!"
"Understood!"
Nishio Shouzo bowed, turned around and took the order.
After arranging all this, Terauchi Shouichi did not stop, he paced in the room anxiously, and after a while, he summoned the staff officer and said: "Telegraph to Major General Yoshikawa Sadasa, the intelligence department of the five provinces, order all the intelligence officers around me to take action, closely monitor all suspicious people, and report to me immediately if there is anything wrong - quickly!"
"Hey!"
The staff officer answered and trotted away.
"Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan, this time you and my temple Shouichi, I don't know who will have the last laugh!" It wasn't until everything was in order that Shouichi Terauchi clenched his fists and said leisurely.
This battle can be said to be the largest battle in the Sino-Japanese campaign since the full-scale war, since the major battles of Songhu, Nanjing, and Xuzhou.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is another large-scale battle between China and Japan, but in the eyes of Terauchi Shouichi, this is a battle between him and Lu Yuan, one is the general of the Imperial China Dispatch Army, and the other is a hero who has become famous and known as the soul of the Chinese nation, and he wants to know that in the end, who will die!
Terauchi Shouichi was not absolutely sure that he would win, because Lu Yuan's talent for war, as well as the cunning and viciousness of his soldiers, were unprecedented in his previous battles.
However, he had no chance to stop, and once the machine of war was activated, it would only be possible to stop until one side was completely defeated.
And now that the 14th Division is in danger, the lives of tens of thousands of imperial soldiers are in his own thoughts, and it is impossible for him to stop, otherwise, he will be the sinner of the empire!
