Chapter 377: Learn to Dance with a Witch

Remember [Pen โ™‚ Fun รท Pavilion in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

For the time being, it is impossible for Xiao Siming to know about the Xinhua News Agency's broadcast of his article, let alone the Central News Agency's broadcast of his article, because it was early in the morning, and the Japanese planes would definitely come to search and reconnoitre.

Wang Lushui, Hu Qingyun, and Zheng Xiuchuan waited until Xiao Siming finished writing, and then asked him, how could the Japanese Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division be dragged in North China for half a month?

That's the core question!

Xiao Siming's answer was very simple, just one word: "Fight!" โ€

Wang Lushui, Hu Qingyun, and Zheng Xiuchuan were not satisfied with this answer. The word "fight" is very simple, the Eighth Route Army is to fight devils, no need for Xiao Siming to say, they all know that they have to fight. The problem is that they want to know more about how to fight!

The Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division, those are two elite divisions of the Japanese army, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people! Moreover, there are also the 3rd Brigade and the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, which are independent and mixed, to fight the autumn wind!

Zheng Xiuchuan said that this is a war, not a child's house. It is not easy for the army to develop to the scale it is today, and it is even more difficult to purchase this bit of belongings! At the moment, don't say anything, it is safer to implement the plan agreed in Puyang and go east to the mountainous area of central and southern Shandong. When you arrive at the destination, you will unload the transported baggage, the troops will have no baggage, your ass will sit firmly, and it will not be too late to look for the bad luck of the little devil!

The meaning of this is very clear, that is, first go east to create a base area, and then talk about the war!

Zheng Xiuchuan's opinion is not wrong, Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui originally discussed it like this!

Xiao Siming said lightly: "The Fifth Division has a Fifth Wing of Cavalry, which is a one-color Oriental horse, first-class cavalry equipment!" โ€

Zheng Xiuchuan immediately stopped saying this, looked at Xiao Siming dumbfounded, and only held back a sentence for a long time: "Commander, our cavalry battalion is looking forward to being upgraded to a cavalry regiment!" No, this battle has to be fought, and you have to think about it! We can't let the Fifth Division just fly the rabbit fur chased by Lao Tzu, we have to give him some color and see! That's it, hit! Just hit the cavalry wing of the 5th Division! โ€

In a moment, Zheng Xiuchuan changed his face, and from carefully advising Xiao Siming to think safely, he immediately changed to the Fifth Cavalry Wing of the Fifth Division!

Wang Lushui thought for a while and said, "The Fifth Division is too mobile, and now it is in fast motion. It's not impossible to ambush their vanguard. It's okay to hit the flanks! The crux of the question is, what to do after the fight? Whether we can retreat smoothly or not, this must be considered first! โ€

Xiao Siming said a long time ago that if you fight, you can be flexible and mobile, and a squad can also fight with a division and an army. It is possible to ambush the first, flank both wings, and pursue the tail. There are many ways! The current strength and firepower of the eastward advance detachment can certainly ambush the vanguard of the Japanese Fifth Division and flank its two flanks. The key is what Wang Lushui said, how can you get out of the fight with your whole body!

If you fight recklessly, just fight happily, it doesn't matter if you take advantage of it and taste some sweetness, you are afraid that you will be stuck by the Fifth Division, and if you fall into the encirclement of the Fifth Division, you will be unlucky!

If that's the case, you'll be in the hands of the Japanese army!

Xiao Siming did not follow Wang Lushui's words, but said that he would go to bed first, and when he woke up, he would take a look at the movements of the Japanese army before it was too late!

After speaking, Xiao Siming really lay down on the kang, and after a while, he fell asleep.

Seeing this, Wang Lushui asked Hu Qingyun and Zheng Xiuchuan to take turns on duty, and after two hours of shifts, he also fell asleep next to Xiao Siming lying on the kang and purring.

It's really exhausting!

By the time Xiao Siming woke up, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Because it was broad daylight, the radio could not be turned on, and it was impossible to know the movements of the Japanese army, when Xiao Siming woke up, Wang Lushui didn't know when he had gotten up to get out of the army, Zheng Xiuchuan was still sleeping on the kang, and only Hu Qingyun was on duty.

After a full sleep, Xiao Siming felt refreshed and full of energy, so he simply sat cross-legged on the kang, silently performed Yijin Jinggong, and meditated for an hour, then called it a day and jumped off the kang.

As soon as he saw Xiao Siming get up, Hu Qingyun reported that from morning to now, Japanese planes had come three times, each time six planes, and they were also flying at low altitudes, strafing and dropping bombs.

Six planes each time showed that the Japanese air force had learned a lesson, and did not dare to dispatch on the scale of one, two, or four planes again, for fear of encountering the ground fire of the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and there was no one to report it!

However, after the main force of the Provisional Air Corps of the North China Front moved south, the number of Japanese planes remaining in North China decreased sharply, and the Anyang Airport, Kaifeng Airport, and Handan Airport were attacked twice by the Chinese Air Force's flight squadron left in Luoyang. Could it be that the aviation of the Kwantung Army reinforced the North China Front?

Xiao Siming asked if there were any casualties?

Hu Qingyun said: Judging from the reports of various units, some of the houses of the villagers in the villages where our troops are stationed have been blown up and caught fire, and some of the villagers have been killed or wounded. However, the casualties were not significant.

Xiao Siming asked again if our army is now?

Hu Qingyun smiled and said that the Japanese plane's intention was obvious, that is, to blow our army out of the vast plain. Cadre fighters who are not clear? Where will the Japanese army appear!

Xiao Siming was relieved, went to wash, and after eating, he said to Hu Qingyun: "Order the troops, start eating before 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and make preparations." At 7 o'clock, the radio was turned on to learn about the movements of the Japanese army. At 8 o'clock, all the troops marched to Guantao in accordance with the normal marching sequence, and crossed the Wei River in Guantao! โ€

Hu Qingyun asked: "Don't fight the Fifth Cavalry Wing of the Fifth Division?" โ€

Xiao Siming smiled and did not answer.

As soon as Hu Qingyun pondered it, he understood. Not to mention that the Fifth Division could not make it here tonight, even if they rushed to the front line of the Wei River and the Wei River highway bridge was bombed, it would be impossible for them to cross the Wei River and chase them to the north bank of the Zhanghe River. Even if you want to fight the Fifth Wing of the Cavalry, you can't fight for the time being. Then you have to find another battlefield and another fighter!

If you really fight the Fifth Wing of the Cavalry of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, then you will really have to go to Guantao and go to the east bank of the Wei River. After the Japanese army could not pass the Wei River Bridge, they should continue north along the east bank of the Wei River!

Hu Qingyun's face suddenly turned a little red, and he felt that he had thought simply.

When Wang Lu's underwater troops returned, Zheng Xiuchuan had already woken up. Xiao Siming, Hu Qingyun, and Zheng Xiuchuan were standing in front of the map, outlining the marching route of the troops.

Wang Lushui saw that the marching route outlined by Hu Qingyun was to pass through Guantao to Guanxian, cross the canal from Guanxian to Dong'e County, cross the Yellow River from Dong'e County, enter Pingyin County, Shandong, and then enter the Yimeng Mountains south of Tai'an.

It's basically a straight line!

After glancing at it, Wang Lushui suddenly made a sudden: Xiao Siming has changed his mind and won't fight the Fifth Wing of the Cavalry of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army?

Wang Lushui suddenly felt a little lost in his heart, as if he was going to miss the fighter, and his heart was full of bad taste!

Before going to bed in the morning, Wang Lushui did remind Xiao Siming that he had to consider how to retreat after fighting the Fifth Division. Unexpectedly, when he came back from the army, Xiao Siming, Hu Qingyun, and Zheng Xiuchuan actually drew such a marching route on the map!

How can this work? The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army has been sent to the door, how can it be let go of them and not fight? When did Xiao Siming change his mind so easily?

After a while, like Hu Qingyun, Wang Lushui also suddenly realized that if he wanted to fight the Fifth Division, he would go to the east bank of the Wei River. Because the bridge over the Egawa River in the territory of the daimyo has been destroyed. If the Fifth Division wants to catch up here, it has to let the sappers build a pontoon bridge, which is very troublesome and a pure waste of time! They will certainly go north along the east bank of the why. The Weihe Bridge of Guantao is the focus of attention of both the enemy and us!

Wang Lushui was silent, sat down, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, struck a match, lit it, and smoked it quietly!

This is really learning from a good person, and learning from a witch!

Xiao Siming smoked, coming and going, and brought Hu Qingyun, Huo Cheng, and Zheng Xiuchuan to smoke with him. After a long time, even Wang Lushui and Huang Hua, who were so strict, smoked with them.

That's not good!

At 7 p.m., the radio station was turned on punctually. It is a pity that there was no main force of our army in northeastern Henan at this time, and no intelligence organization was established, and neither the division headquarters nor the headquarters could provide accurate information about the 5th and 16th divisions of the Japanese army to the eastward advance detachment. On the contrary, the scouts of the reconnaissance battalion of the eastward advance detachment who remained in Shijiazhuang sent a telegram back, reporting that a large number of devils had come to Shijiazhuang, and the number was the 11O Division!

The formation of the 11O Division was only announced on the 16th, and it had already arrived in Shijiazhuang at this time, indicating that they had been formed before the announcement of the formation, and had already sailed to the port to wait for boarding. As soon as the order for the formation of the division was given, the 11O Division got on the ship and went out, drifted on the sea for two or three days, arrived at Tanggu in Tianjin, and then transferred it by train from Tianjin to Zhengding County on the north bank of the Hutuo River via Beiping, and from Zhengding to Shijiazhuang.

All divisions and regiments of the Japanese army have left-behind divisions and regiments in the country, such as the 11O Division, which is based on the left-behind divisions of the 1O Division and is composed of reservists of the 1O Division.

Xiao Siming knew that the 11O Division and the 21st Division entered the North China battlefield ahead of schedule, and the Japanese Fifth Division and the 16th Division could be transferred away as soon as they completed the task of encircling and annihilating the eastward advance detachment. The key is to see if you can drag these two elite divisions in North China for half a month!

As long as the Fifth Division and the 21st Division can be dragged out in North China for half a month, according to the trend of history, the Japanese army, which is anxious to move the Battle of Wuhan, should give up the operational plan of capturing Zhengzhou and moving south on the Yanpinghan Road, and instead have the Second Army of the North China Front attack and advance along the northern foot of the Dabie Mountain from the Huaihe River Valley. In that case, the whole idea of avoiding the tragedy at the mouth of the garden would be truly realized.
