Although the Japanese army did not reinforce the Weihe Bridge overnight, Xiao Siming knew what time meant to the eastward advance detachment, and he would not stop in the territory of the Daimyo at all.

The Battle of Puyang was a great victory after the Battle of Dezhou, the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army fought continuously and destroyed more than 4,000 enemies!

Before Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui had time to report the situation of the Battle of Puyang to the division headquarters, the headquarters, and Yan'an, the division headquarters forwarded the battle reports of the Military Commission and the First Theater forwarded by the headquarters, and once again demanded that the advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army's eastward advance not stop in northern and northeastern Henan, let alone allow the Japanese Fifth Division and the 16th Division to stay in the North Henan Plain, threaten the Longhai Road defense line in the First Theater, and be sure to lead the Fifth and 16th Divisions to North China.

Xiao Siming and Wang Lushui had already made a decision in Puyang City, and after the eastward advance detachment broke out of the Japanese encirclement, they quickly advanced to Luxi, and between Luokou and Yinping, they used Japanese ferries or pontoon bridges to enter the hinterland of Shandong in the east to complete the strategic development in the Yimeng Mountains!

Now, what does it mean that the headquarters has transferred the telegram order from the Military Commission and the First War Zone?

Strategically speaking, the orders of the Military Commission and the First Theater are correct, and the defense of Great Wuhan is more important than anything else at this stage!

However, the Military Commission, as the commanding organ, did not ask how to solve the size of the casualties and the weight of the food and socks of this unit, and did not allocate military funds, but blindly sent telegrams again and again asking the eastward advance detachment to lead the little devils back to North China.

After reading the telegram, Deputy Chief of Staff Zheng Xiuchuan was reluctant at first, and said hatefully: "Jiang Guangtou is still that virtuous, and he will die if he picks the door, and he doesn't ask Lao Tzu what he eats and drinks, just knowing that if he gives an order, he has to pay some wages even if he hires a long-term worker, right?" He didn't want to think about it, Lao Tzu was chased and beaten by the two divisions of the little devils, and he had to beware of the devils intercepting, blocking, and setting traps in front of him. ”

Wang Lushui immediately criticized Zheng Xiuchuan for complaining a lot and saying a lot of strange things!

Zheng Xiuchuan shut up at this time!

Hu Qingyun, chief of staff, also felt that the first theater was a bit ridiculous, and did not seize the opportunity of the empty Japanese troops on the front line in eastern Henan to carry out a counteroffensive, but pinned his hopes on the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army to attract the two master regiments of little devils in North China.

No wonder Hu Qingyun has such an idea, compared with the Japanese Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division, the current Eighth Route Army's eastward advance detachment is still very weak, and it is obviously not the opponent of the Japanese army.

The main task of the Eighth Route Army's eastward advance detachment now should be to quickly transfer, get rid of danger, and carry out the eastward advance mission, instead of continuing to lead the noses of the two elite divisions of the Japanese army around North China!

That's playing with fire, and I can't figure out how to send the eastward advance detachment, a brigade-level detachment of the Eighth Route Army, which has been formed for a very short time, into the wolf's mouth of the two master regiments of the Japanese army!

Continuing to maneuver with the two main divisions of the Japanese army and making the troops tired every day is also not in line with the general principles of Yan'an advancing behind enemy lines, waging guerrilla warfare, dividing troops and letting go to mobilize the masses, and creating base areas!

Hu Qingyun said: "The first theater is too conservative, the Japanese army now has only one 14th division in Kaifeng, and the first theater has more than 200,000 troops, but they do not want to forge ahead, do not take the opportunity to counterattack, in case the Japanese army launches another attack on Zhengzhou, the first theater will definitely not be able to hold it, and it will suffer a big loss!" ”

There is absolutely truth to this!

Hu Qingyun didn't know that Xiao Siming only took the initiative to attack and occupy Dezhou, Shijiazhuang, and Chenqiao in the south, the purpose of which was to lead the Japanese Fifth Division and the 16th Division around North China, so as to avoid the tragedy of the first war zone opening the garden mouth!

If it weren't for Xiao Siming's decisive decision to capture Dezhou, forcing the Japanese army to stop at Kaifeng, and sending two main divisions back to North China to besiege the eastward advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army, at this time, the first theater would have already blown up the mouth of the garden and used the water of the Yellow River to resist the enemy.

If the advance detachment of the Eighth Route Army could not bring the Fifth Division and the 16th Division back to North China, these two divisions, at least the 16th Division, would inevitably return to the battlefield in eastern Henan and, together with the 14th Division, resume the offensive and carry out the plan of the Japanese base camp to capture Zhengzhou, control the Pinghan Road, and then move south along the Pinghan Road to capture Wuhan. Because, they have no other way!

In the grand strategy of defending Wuhan and delaying the Japanese army's capture of Wuhan, the heavy losses caused by using the water of the Yellow River to resist the enemy were not taken into account in the minds of the commanders of the Military Commission and the First War Zone!

In the face of the tremendous pressure of destroying the country and exterminating the species, isn't it nonsense to say that there is no loss?

At this moment, Jiang Zaizhen, the newly formed Eighth Division of the First Theater, has been guarding the area around Huayuankou, and the sapper operation is halfway through, and it is placed there. Once the order from Shangfeng to blow up the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou is issued, they will still blow up the embankment and divert water to flood the enemy, as they did in history.

There's no way, you can't defeat the Japanese army, you can't watch the Japanese army capture Zhengzhou and control Pinghan Road, right?

It was precisely because the Eighth Route Army attacked and occupied Dezhou that forced the Japanese army to transfer the elite Fifth Division, the Sixteenth Division, and the Independent Mixed Third Brigade back to North China, and the Japanese offensive to the west came to an abrupt halt.

Now that the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army has kicked off the prelude to the Battle of Wuhan, and is looking forward to the North China Front Army quickly joining the battlefield with the main force, the Military Commission and the First Theater have asked the eastward advance detachment to lead the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division back to North China.

Hu Qingyun still didn't know one thing, that is, in order to urge the North China Front Army to send troops to participate in the Battle of Wuhan as soon as possible, the Japanese army base camp asked the emperor's attendant, Admiral Suzuki Kantaro, to inspect the North China Front!

But one thing Hu Qingyun is clear, including Wang Lushui, Zheng Xiuchuan, etc., are very clear. That is, if it weren't for Xiao Siming's clever tactics, good command, and proper use of tactics, the eastward advance detachment would never have achieved such a big result, and I am afraid that it would have been beaten by the little devil with heavy casualties!

Think about it, a sudden attack on Dezhou, and then it was to take advantage of the Japanese army's inability to understand the reality of our army, arrogant and arrogant, and use ambush tactics to completely annihilate the Second Brigade of the Second Infantry Wing of the North China Garrison Mixed Brigade that launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, and then set up an ambush again to annihilate the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Japanese Railway, and then attacked the Luokou Bridge and defeated the First Brigade of the Second Infantry Wing of the Mixed Brigade of the Japanese North China Garrison Army, swept the Fifth Brigade of the Railway Independent Brigade stationed between the Luokou Bridge in the Yellow River, and then returned to aid North China with heavy losses, the 21st Wing of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army trying to recapture the Luokou Bridge!

This column of battles, in command, is like flowing water, and it is skillful, without the slightest flaw!

That's not all, who would have thought that when the Japanese Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division had hidden intentions and suddenly attacked Dezhou, Xiao Siming actually proposed the tactics of attacking Shijiazhuang and leading the Japanese army by the nose, destroying the Japanese airfield in Shijiazhuang in one fell swoop, blowing up the Hutuo River Railway Bridge and Highway Bridge, paralyzing the Pinghan Railway, and sweeping the Japanese puppet stronghold in the southeast of Shijiazhuang, causing the Japanese Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division to have to chase from Jinpu Road to Pinghan Road in a hurry, and once again pounce into the air.

This time it was even more miraculous, Xiao Siming only deduced from the fact that the 14th Division of the Japanese Army smuggled the Yellow River, without intelligence support, deduced that the Japanese army had stored a large number of weapons, ammunition and baggage materials at the crossing of the Yellow River, led the army to the south, attacked and occupied Chenqiao, and captured the baggage materials transported by the Japanese army to Kaifeng, and then went north to Puyang, and destroyed the main force of the Japanese army in the fourth brigade in World War I!

This battle couldn't be more magical! It's a little foggy and can't see clearly!

To tell the truth, don't look at Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, Hu Qingyun, and Huo Cheng are all veteran Red Army backbone cadres who have fought and fought old, every time Xiao Siming says his own ideas, they can feel empowered, and they secretly marvel in their hearts, it turns out that they can use soldiers like this, they can fight like this!

Hu Qingyun sometimes thinks that he has also gone to Kang University, and Xiao Siming has learned much better than himself, and it is even beyond the understanding of those teachers of Kang Da!

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away!

Hu Qingyun knew that Xiao Siming's ability was far beyond him, Wang Lushui, Huang Hua, and Huo Cheng. In other words, any one of them commanded the eastward advance detachment to fight, and under the heavy pressure of the Japanese Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division, they could only disperse guerrilla attacks on the spot, and it was impossible to have Xiao Siming's unbridled whimsical ideas, nor could they have such brilliant achievements!

After Wang Lushui criticized Zheng Xiuchuan, when he saw that Hu Qingyun also said the same, he was about to continue to criticize Hu Qingyun, but his mouth opened a few times, and the words of criticism were swallowed back alive and did not speak.

Wang Lushui also knew that if he continued to fight with the little devils, the situation of the eastward advance detachment would be very dangerous! The Great Plains are no match for the Taihang Mountains, and without the cover of the mountains, once the troops fall into the encirclement of the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division, the result can be imagined.

After thinking about it, Wang Lushui said: "I will send a report to the division headquarters, the headquarters, and Yan'an, reporting the news of the victory in Puyang and the annihilation of the Japanese army's independent mixed into the fourth brigade, and see what other instructions the leaders of the headquarters have!" ”

Xiao Siming stopped Wang Lushui and said: "Political commissar, it must be clearly written in the telegram draft, the Fifth Division and the Sixteenth Division will definitely pursue our army frantically, please order our army in southern Hebei and central Hebei to continue to do a good job of clearing the wilderness and make preparations for anti-sweeping operations!" In addition, we also ask the General Headquarters to call back to the Central Military Commission and the First Theater, saying that we are confident that the Fifth Division and the 16th Division will be delayed in North China for half a month. No matter how long it takes, we won't be able to do it! ”

Wang Lushui's brows furrowed suddenly, his face became cold, and he stared at Xiao Siming and asked, "Are you sure you can?" ”

Xiao Siming nodded: "Sure!" (To be continued)). If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote, your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
