Chapter 447: Take the initiative

"What? Take the initiative to attack, Chief of Staff Sun, the Japanese troops on the other side are not under us. Wang Kunshan exclaimed, although he relied on the simple fortifications of Xiongzhou Town to fight hard with the Japanese army and gave the Japanese army a lot of casualties, but if he really pulled the troops out to fight against the Japanese army, according to Wang Kunshan's calculation, it would take at least two to three times the strength of the Japanese army. Although the casualties of the Japanese army are relatively large, they are all good in the previous defensive battles, and although he recognizes the combat strength of the Northwest Army, the losses of the Northwest Army are not a few in the previous successive battles. Self-protection may be more than enough, and taking the initiative is inevitably a bit too much.

"The main thing is to entangle the main force of the 6th Division, Division Commander Liu has already divided the Japanese army into nearly four brigades again, and it is only a matter of three or four hours to annihilate the Japanese troops in the encirclement, and when they pull out their hands, they will tear off a piece of meat from the 6th Division, during this time, the 6th Division will cross the border, burn, kill, rape and adultery, if you don't teach them a lesson, you really think that there is no retribution for doing evil things." Sun Yi said, "Besides, this heavy rain is like this, and the Japanese army's ammunition supply is not in place, this is an opportunity for us, Brigade Commander, prepare to gather troops, and we will attack with our army, and the people you defeat here will make up for it after this battle." ”

"It's okay, when the sky falls, you are in the northwest, I'm afraid of a ball! Third child, call me all the ones who can breathe, damn it, Chief of Staff Sun is right, the Japanese army has scourged our people, and now there is a chance, this revenge cannot be avenged! ”

Han Lianxi said righteously, on the one hand, he wanted to please Sun Yi, and on the other hand, it was indeed righteous indignation from the heart, although it was a soldier, but it did not mean that Han Lianxi would have a good impression of the Japanese. I just couldn't beat each other before. If there is a grievance, you can only swallow it in your stomach. Now there is a chance to beat the water dogs. Han Lianxi hesitated for a moment, and immediately made a decision.

"But Chief of Staff Sun, in the previous battles, some of the machine guns under my command suffered serious losses, can you add some more."

Fight back, Han Lianxi didn't forget to get some benefits first.

"You, I'll have you get twenty crooked handles and five heavy machine guns later. Our Northwest Army has its own standard weapons. Besides, the light and heavy machine guns of the little devils are just like that, and the captured Japanese weapons are all going to be dispersed, of course, whoever is willing to fight the Japanese army will be given priority. Brigade Commander Han has made a lot of meritorious service in this battle, and the northwest will also reward him for his meritorious deeds. ”

Sun Yi pointed at Han Lian and smiled, as long as the other party is willing to fight the Japanese army, it is normal to be careful with this little thought, after all, they are all miscellaneous cards. If you want to get a lot of machine guns, you don't have many opportunities.

"Thank you, Chief of Staff Sun. In the future, Northwest Dan has a life, and Han Lianxi will do everything! Han Lianxi hurriedly patted his chest and said.

"Retreat!" Gu Shoufu coldly ordered.

"What? Retreat at this time? Inaba Shiro said incredulously, at this time, the 6th Division has suffered huge losses, gritted his teeth and persevered all the way, giving the enemy a certain amount of casualties, and maybe he can give a decent record after going back, if he retreats now, it is undoubtedly equivalent to admitting the defeat of this operation.

"Half an hour ago, the Nagai Tokugawa Wing called to say that the jade shatter was imminent, and at this time they had lost contact, and now even if the Imperial Air Force could rush to support, it would not be able to save Nagasaki Tokutaro and their fate. The Kumamoto division had already shed too much blood at this time, and could no longer exchange the lives of the soldiers with this extremely cost-effective exchange ratio with the Chinese army, and had to retreat in time to make up for it, waiting for the opportunity, this time, the Chinese army won a move. ”

Gu Shoufu regained his expressionless expression, as if the current defeat had nothing to do with him. Inaba Shiro was at a loss, although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that Tani Shoufu made the best choice at this time. And making such a choice requires more courage than confronting the enemy. Thinking that the cause of this incident was because the captain of Mojima Kingo wantonly set troops and neglected to take precautions, Inaba Shiro couldn't wait to pull Makgo Moshima over and shoot him a hundred times. But Inaba Shiro can't get his wish now, Moshima Imago has been retributed by ten thousand ants, and even because of the pain, the hemp ropes tied to his body have been broken one or two, it is conceivable that people can burst out with amazing power in an extremely terrifying state, but the ant insects that crawl on him did not give him a chance to continue to live. Moshima I'm probably also the worst Japanese soldier to die since entering the Republic of China.

After Shiro Inaba and Toshio Tani agreed on their opinions, they quickly gave the order to retreat. However, what soon made Inaba Shiro's lungs almost explode was Li Chunrun, who actually led a part of the Northwest Army and Han Lianxi, and the remaining brigade of less than 1,500 people from Xiongzhou Town. The sound of artillery was thick for a while, and it seemed that he planned to consume all the ammunition in Xiongzhou Town in this battle, and he had no intention of leaving more shells at all. In fact, as Inaba Shiro thought, the Northwest Army had its own supplies, although it was a little troublesome to replenish to the front line, but now is not the time to save ammunition.

In history, Li Chunrun was still able to lead his troops to fight a bloody war in Liaodong alone in the case of the fall of the Northeast, and inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese puppet army several times, and finally died without regret. Now that Li Chunrun has his back to the northwest, he is no longer fighting alone, and his troops and ordnance that have fought with the Japanese army do not need to worry about his own brains, there will be the northwest to solve with him, and all Li Chunrun has to do is to fight his own battle. And Li Chunrun's attack and retreat in Xiongzhou Town at this time has made Jeanya Shoufu and Inaba Shiro feel quite difficult.

"After ordering the Zhuping Road to be cut off, our army temporarily retreated north." At this time, Gu Shoufu's face was blue again, since he led the troops into China, he was forced to this role by the opponent, and it was the first time for him, and the depression and depression in his heart almost made him, a professional soldier who has always been strong, almost go crazy. It seems that the other party not only wants to encircle and annihilate the Osakai German team, but will also fight the snake with the stick as long as there is a chance. Completely disregarding his own state, even if the other party is on the defensive, the casualties in Xiongzhou Town are not small, but the other party can show the momentum of making the Japanese army pay enough price even if he fights his own troops, and this kind of war of attrition is the most unwilling to see Gu Shoufu, the entire North China Front Army is less than 400,000 people, this battle plus the loss of the four brigades on Osakai Tokutaro's side, as well as the loss in Xiongzhou Town, the direct death of more than 8,000 people has reached an astonishing number of more than 8,000 people. Without sufficient ammunition supplies and without the support of aircraft, the Japanese army was just a group of ordinary infantry who were relatively skilled in white-knuckle combat. The Battle of Songhu played an astonishing ratio of nearly 1 to 10, which was the rhythm of the Japanese army, and at present, because of the lack of ammunition, according to Gu Shoufu's estimate, the Japanese army's losses were likely to be above the enemy's, which was simply unbearable for the Japanese army. More than 20,000 people had already been killed before half of Hebei was defeated, and these battles were still under the condition that the Northwest Army was not fully prepared, once it entered Henan and fought hard with the main force of the Northwest Army, nearly 400,000 North China Front troops looked like a lot, and in fact they might not be able to consume for long.
