Section 11 Counter Attack Lightning III

"It can't be!" Sugiyama Yuan shouted with a pale face, the telegram in his hand had been crumpled into a ball, and in just one day and one night, an elite division was over! The tide of the war is turned? Sugiyama didn't believe it anyway, it's too surprising! It's incredible!

There was silence in the headquarters, and no one dared to speak. οΌ±b⑸、COM\

"Eto! You say, what the hell is going on? Sugiyama Moto's blood-red eyes rolled, and finally fixed on Eto, who was determined to pursue him.

Eto looked up at the disobedient Sugiyama Moto, and opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. Sugiyama Moto's gaze turned to Okabe Naosaburo again, and seeing that he was about to have a seizure, Tachitaka turned his eyes and spoke first: "Your Excellency." ”

Sugiyama Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Ligao's support, and he was the only one who insisted on stopping the pursuit, but he didn't take his advice, so it was not easy to have a seizure, but his eyes were still sharp, and the roughness in his nostrils was rushing. Li Gao said solemnly: "I think that the Fifth Division should be resolutely abandoned now, and order the 28th Division and the 39th Division to immediately retreat and retreat to Dangshan. ”

There was silence in the room, this suggestion that might have made a lot of people furious, but now no one made a voice to refute it, Sugiyama Motoren paused, and suddenly became angry: "Nonsense, I will never give up the officers and men of the Fifth Division." ”

Sugiyama quickly figured it out, if the Fifth Division was destroyed like this, he would probably become the shortest-lived commander of the North China Front.

In the face of the thunderous Sugiyama Yuan, Ligao did not retreat, but took a firm step forward: "Your Excellency, although the 39th Division and the 28th Division are not surrounded, the 39th Division is gradually falling into chaos, and the 28th Division is only half full. ”

"Ligao Zuo," Sugiyama Yuan scolded sharply: "The Fifth Division was only wiped out by some logistics troops, his essence, more than 5,000 people in the combat unit are still there, as long as the rescue is effective, it can be rescued." ”

"Your Excellency," Ligao said anxiously, and persuaded bitterly: "The heavy weapons of the Fifth Division have all been destroyed, and all the ammunition has been destroyed, and there is no striking force left; The heavy weapons of the 28th and 39th divisions were almost destroyed, so what to break through the encirclement of the ** army? Your Excellency, it is painful to abandon the Fifth Division, but it can save the whole front from collapse; If the three divisions are all wiped out, the ** army can recapture Xuzhou, or even directly fight to Jinan, and the sacrifice of more than 100,000 soldiers will be in vain. ”

"Shut up! Eight Geyaru! Bastard! Sugiyama Motoka's gray hair fluttered with anger, and his thin palms slapped on the table, and he was still angry, and grabbed the documents and threw them at Ligao Support, and then at Eto.

Ligao looked at the gaffe Sugiyama Yuan, and his heart blossomed, but his face was tense, maintaining a straight posture. After Sugiyama Moto's venting for a while, his mood calmed down, and he asked Okabe Naosaburo with a rough face: "Okabe, what is your opinion?" ”

Okabe Naosaburo replied expressionlessly: "I praise the suggestion of establishing a high school saga, and the strong man broke his wrist and gave up the fifth division. ”

Silent, Sugiyama sat weakly in his high-backed chair, and for a long time, he waved his hand and let everyone out. Sugiyama Yuan looked at the map in front of him, the rockery villages and towns, the small blue flags representing the squadron, these villages, these small flags, seemed to come to life in an instant. The war horses neighed, the military flag was high, the sound of killing was shocking, the soldiers were sacrificing their lives and forgetting to die, the blue sky and white sun flag retreated step by step under the threat of the sun flag, but suddenly the wind and clouds suddenly changed, the blue sky and white sun flag forced the sun flag to retreat step by step, although the sun flag resisted hard, but the momentum of the blue sky and white sun flag was getting higher and higher, and the sun flag was gradually scattered, and it could no longer stop the attack of the blue sky and white sun.

"Poof." Sugiyama Moto's mouthful of blood spurted out, and dark red blood clots sprayed on the map.

"Commander, Commander." The adjutant, who was always paying attention to his movements, quickly rushed to his side, and the officers waiting outside the door also quickly rushed into the house and gathered around Sugiyama Moto, Okabe Naosaburo immediately asked people to ask for a doctor, but Sugiyama Mototo waved his hand.

"Okabe-kun, I'm fine." After spitting out that mouthful of blood, Sugiyama felt better, took the cup from the adjutant and drank two sips of water, and his mind was much clearer. Yes, if the fifth division is annihilated, he is likely to be transferred back to China like Terauchi Shouichi, but if he persists and leads to the annihilation of the three divisions, he will be sent to a military court; Moreover, the entire front will be divided, and the squadron can move freely in this radius of hundreds of miles; They can march east to capture Xuzhou, go south to eliminate Yamashita Fengwen, and Gu Shoufu, who made a detour to attack Haozhou, may also be difficult to escape, and the entire course of the war may be reversed.

Sugiyama Yuan struggled to stand up, and his thin face flushed red: "Ligao-kun, what other suggestions do you have?" ”

Ligao's support was slightly weakened, he didn't expect Sugiyama Yuan to find him first after he sobered up, he hesitated and said: "The humble post suggests that the fifth division be raised, the thirty-ninth and twenty-eighth divisions immediately retreat to Dangshan, and General Yamashita Fengwen will stop the attack and move towards Xuzhou; The northern front also had to stop the offensive, General Ito withdrew to the north of the Yellow River, General Yoshio Shinozuka withdrew to Heze with a force, and the main force went south to reinforce the front line of Dangshan Peixian, and suggested to General Shunroku Hata that General Tani Shofu also stop attacking Haozhou and garrison Suxian with a force, and the main force withdrew to the south of the Huhe River. ”

The proposal of Ligao's support is equivalent to turning the offensive into the defensive on the whole front and ending the second Jinpu Road battle.

Sugiyama Moto put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at the map that the staff officers hurriedly replaced, the map had not yet marked the situation of the enemy and the enemy, but it didn't matter anymore, the situation of the enemy and the enemy had already been clearly imprinted in his mind.

"Just..." Sugiyama Motogang spoke, and a staff officer rushed out with a panicked expression: "Report, General Anteng's headquarters was attacked by ** tanks, and contact with General Anteng was cut off. ”

"Eight..."Sugiyama Motoyoshi spit out half a word, and suddenly realized what news was reported by the staff officer, and grabbed the telegram, which clearly said that Ando Toshiyoshi reported that he was attacked by ** tanks half an hour ago, and the contact with Ando Toshiyoshi headquarters was cut off ten minutes ago, and the telegram was sent by Nishio Shouzo.

Sugiyama Yuan felt that his brain was buzzing again, it seems that the ** army is really aiming at three divisions, but how can the ** army have such a big appetite, on the south bank of the Yellow River, they can't even eat two and a half divisions in Honma, how can they have the courage to target his three divisions now?

This question is also asked by Shunroku Hata, Shunroku Hata received the situation report later than Sugiyama Moto, but he quickly understood one thing, this counterattack was deliberately prepared by Zhuang Jihua, and the tanks and the 49th Group Army mentioned in the intelligence were going to Ando Toshiyoshi, but what they didn't expect was that the battle situation deteriorated so rapidly, and the Fifth Division, which had fought from Beiping to Taiyuan, and from Taiyuan to Nanjing and Jinan, would face the fate of annihilation of the whole army after a day and a night.

"**General This is imitating Nakajima's tactics, winning with speed, using speed to disrupt our in-depth deployment, and then taking the opportunity to attack." Chief of Staff Shozo Kawabe said.

Shunroku Hata nodded slightly, and then asked, "What about Nakajima?" ”

"Detained in the Military Reflection Center." Kawabe replied.

"Bring him here." Shunroku Hata immediately ordered, he was very interested in Nakajima, and it was really curious that a brigade commander would dare to do such a bold thing, and the results of the battle would be so brilliant.

Nakajima was quickly taken to the headquarters, and Shunroku Hata looked him up and down, although Nakajima was detained as a criminal officer, his military rank was not revoked, and he was still a major general, and he was still a clean officer.

"Nakajima-kun, how was this time going?" Shunroku Hata asked as if he was at home, but the light in his eyes was very sharp.

"Report, eat well and sleep well." Nakajima unequivocally met Shunroku Hatata's gaze and replied calmly.

Shunroku Hata frowned slightly, as if he didn't like Nakajima's appearance: "Well, it seems that you feel very wronged and wronged, right?" ”

His tone began to become a little harsh, and Kawabe Shozo's heart tightened slightly, complaining in his heart why Nakajima didn't say something soft, so that Shunroku Hata could take advantage of the situation to cancel his detention and let him return to the army.

"No, the crime of despicability is deserved." Nakajima said: "Attacking in disobedience to orders caused danger to the flanks of friendly forces, resulting in casualties among the soldiers, should be severely punished." ”

"Looks like you're still self-aware." Shunroku Hata was noncommittal, stood up and walked in front of Nakajima, and gently brushed a trace of dust off his shoulders: "Do you want to know the latest battle situation?" ”

"Think," Nakajima replied, "Serving the Empire and serving His Majesty is the wish of his life." ”

Hata Junroku nodded with satisfaction: "Come on, let's see, the situation facing the imperial army is very serious." ”

Nakajima walked to the map, and after carefully looking at the situation map, he showed a surprised face, and the counterattack of the ** army was so fierce: "Your Excellency, when is this situation?" How did it happen? ”

Shunroku Hata beckoned a staff officer to come over and asked him to give Nakajima a detailed description of the battle during this time, and Nakajima let out a sigh after listening to it.

"It's a blitzkrieg." Nakajima immediately made a judgment.

"Blitzkrieg?" Shunroku Hata was a little puzzled, and hearing the name made him a little creepy, and muttered to himself: "What do you mean?" ”

"In recent years, some generals in the German army have declared that tanks should be treated as an independent branch, no longer just an auxiliary arm to cover the infantry, and use large-scale group tanks to storm enemy positions, and after tearing through the enemy's defensive lines, launch an attack on the depth of the enemy's lack of fortifications. Several of Guderian's treatises on large-scale tank operations have been reprinted in the study of imperial affairs, and I have had the privilege of reading them. It is clear that the ** general also read these articles, and he used them on the battlefield. ”

Shunroku Hata gasped, it turned out to be a battle idea from Germany, he couldn't help but glance at Kawabe Shozo, Kawabe Shozo's face was slightly red, the term blitzkrieg, he had heard of it for the first time.
