On the battlefield, whether information is transmitted in a timely manner can sometimes determine the success or failure of a battle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This time, He Zhengdao once again sacrificed the electronic jamming detachment, so that the 16th Division, which needed to communicate with all parties from time to time, became deaf.

Although they don't know what happened, thinking of the previous interruption of contact with the 10th Division, many Japanese commanders guessed that the Eighth Route Army must have used some unknown way to cause them to lose contact with all parties.

The Japanese divisions and regiments, which were in the midst of the entire evacuation unit, naturally seemed very worried about such a sudden interruption of communication with all sides. The loss of contact between the headquarters and other units will inevitably affect the operational liaison and deployment between them.

Even when Li Xiangdong gave the order to attack, the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army in Lu'an also received a news that was once again shocked by a cold sweat for Minoru Higashikunomiya.

'Na! We lost contact with the 16th Division? What the hell is going on? ’

'Report to the General, the situation is very similar to the previous interruption of communication with the 10th Division. I am afraid that at this time, our 16th Division should be under siege by the Chinese army, and the situation must be ascertained as soon as possible. ’

'Yo! Ordered the Air Force to send a squadron of fighters to support and ascertain the situation. By the way, where is the 13th Division now? Haven't they broken through the defenses of the Eighth Route Army yet? ’

Thinking of the 13th Division sent before, Minoru Higashikurenomiya also knew very well that the convergence of the two divisions would make it possible to turn the tide of the battle. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the blocking force of the Eighth Route Army would come so quickly.

Faced with the inquiry of Minoru Higashikunomiya, the chief of staff said helplessly: "General, the advance of the 13th Division is very slow. The road to Gushi was badly damaged by the Eighth Route Army, and they could only advance on foot.

The convoy and infantry brigade that had been sent in the past had now lost contact. According to the reconnaissance of our air force, the wreckage of many cars has been found on the highways along the route, and those soldiers are only afraid of bad luck.

I have ordered the 13th Division to send a small group of elite troops to advance in the direction of Gushi as soon as possible by infiltration. Unfortunately, small units of the Eighth Route Army were stationed in those places, and their movements were greatly restricted.

Judging from the current situation, if the 13th Division wants to break through the enemy's interception, it will only take at least two more days. In contrast, if the 16th Division can break through the encirclement, perhaps the two divisions can also form a situation of flanking from the front and rear.

It's just that according to the intelligence we have gathered from the front, the troops of the 5th theater have broken through the blocking line of the 16th Division and are pursuing the 16th Division. The next battle situation is only afraid that it will be very unfavorable for us. ”

Listening to the report of the chief of staff, Minoru Higashikunomiya was also very angry and said: "Eight Geya Road! It's the Eighth Route Army again, and it's this damn He Zhengdao again. This man must be removed, he has done us too much damage! ”

If Tokurenomiya Minoru had only heard of He Zhengdao's achievements before, then this time he really fought with He Zhengdao's troops, and he really understood how difficult this army was, and why there were two divisions planted in each other's hands.

Such people will indeed cause a lot of damage to them. For such dangerous people, if they can't solve it on the battlefield, they will also try their best to use other means to eliminate the dangerous person.

In the face of the anger of Minoru Higashikunomiya, the chief of staff also said in a timely manner: "General, the military department has formulated a set of assassination plans, and personnel are currently being recruited. It is said that ninjas from the Iga faction will also join the squad. ”

As soon as these words came out, Minoru Higashikunomiya also said with a little surprise: "Yo Xi, with the ninjas of the Iga faction joining, I think this damn guy shouldn't live long." Command our intelligence services, keep a close eye on the movements of this person.

Now that he's here, it will be easier for us to gather information about him. As long as you find an opportunity, you must deal with him. This kind of dangerous person should not continue to live. ”

Assassination, for many countries, is something that they don't like to put on the surface. At the same time, however, many countries like to use this means to achieve certain operational objectives and obtain maximum benefits at the minimum cost.

If He Zhengdao heard these words at this moment, I am afraid that he would also feel that the little devil was still so insidious. But for He Zhengdao, this kind of thing was actually expected by him, and he knew very well what kind of urine the little devil was.

As the little devils began to act urgently, and learned that the 71st Army had successfully opened the blocking line of the little devils, Li Zongren also immediately ordered all armies to attack. As fast as possible, pursue the main forces of the Japanese division, which had fled for some time.

He Zhengdao kept sending back telegrams, and Li Zongren was also able to dispatch his troops in time and began to encircle the evacuated Japanese divisions. And this situation is not clear to the 16th Division, which is anxious.

Knowing that the 71st Army had broken through their blocking position, the commander of the Japanese infantry brigade in charge of blocking the attack also said helplessly: "Order the troops and start to break through." Don't get entangled with the Chinese army, and move closer to the main force of the division as quickly as possible.

Although we have lost contact with the main force of the division, I believe that they should still retain their strength. What we have to do now is to compare the speed with the Chinese army that is preparing to encircle, and send this news to the division headquarters as soon as possible. ”

Ever since he lost contact with the division, the commander of the infantry brigade responsible for blocking the rear of the palace realized that something was wrong. But at this moment, he also knew that the troops of the Fifth Theater who had already besieged it would not last long.

In this case, it is also a relatively wise choice to choose to break through in advance. The most important thing was that he felt that he needed to inform the division and regimental headquarters as soon as possible of the sudden loss of contact.

In the face of the Japanese army that suddenly launched a defensive counterattack, the officers and soldiers of the 71st who were preparing to close the siege were also caught off guard. Looking at the Japanese troops rushing down from the blocking position, many of the attacking troops appeared to be a little ill-prepared.

Knowing that the front-line troops were counterattacked by the Japanese army, Song Xilian also quickly reacted and said: "It seems that the little devil knows that their defense line has been broken through by us, and they are no longer able to block us, and they have begun to prepare to break through."

Order all the troops on the front line to open a gap and let these little devils withdraw from the blocking position first. Without a blocking position, the next thing is for us to pursue. I'm going to see where they can go. ”

Regarding the breakthrough of the little devils, Song Xilian also knew that if he fought hard, the losses caused to the troops would be greater. In contrast, following the little devil to hunt him down will undoubtedly be more worry-free and effort-free.

As long as these little devils want to live, they won't be much determined to stop them. This means that as long as they follow behind the little devils, they can continue to eat away at the little devils' troops and drag them to death.

Even if he is not very good at guerrilla warfare, as a commander of the army, Song Xilian also knows that at this time, it is still very advantageous to fight guerrilla warfare. The most important thing is that the troops in his hands at this moment are far more than the Japanese troops who broke through.

When the Japanese infantry brigade began to break through, Keisuke Fujie, who had lost contact with the advance team, also sent troops to support. It's just that the support troops have not yet arrived, and they see the cavalry units that have come back to report the situation.

Knowing that the advance team escorting the people was ambushed by the heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army, Fujie Keisuke said in disbelief: "Yaga! If they dare to do this, aren't they afraid that we will kill all those chinas? ”

The captain of the Japanese squad who came back to report the news didn't know how to answer Keisuke Fujie's inquiry. In the end, he could only say: "General, we don't know too much about the situation of the battle. It's just that we need support! ”

'Got it! I have sent an infantry wing to support, but judging from the current situation, the civilians who have been captured by us are afraid that they have already been captured by them. Next, we need to prepare for the decisive battle.

Now we have lost contact with the infantry brigade behind us, and we don't know much about the situation there. In this case, we don't have much choice and have to move forward at a faster pace.

Order the troops, from now on to speed up and move forward. In addition, the General Staff must find an alternative route as soon as possible. If this road has been blocked, we can only choose to break through with our forces, and we cannot continue to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Judging from the previous situation, the 13th Division was afraid that it would be difficult to join us according to the situation. In this case, we can only expand the battlefield and disperse the breakout. The goal was clear, to get to the rear of our headquarters. ’

As the commander of the division, Keisuke Fujie knew very well that the people who were used as meat shields were rescued, and they would inevitably be blocked by the Eighth Route Army even more frantically. In this way, a fast march from the highway is almost unlikely.

In order to preserve the vital strength of the division as much as possible, Fujie Keisuke could only choose to divide his troops to break through. As long as the theater of operations is expanded, if the Eighth Route Army wants to intercept them, it also needs to divide troops to expand the interception range.

If you want to blockade it, if you have a large combat area, you will naturally need not a small number of troops. In this way, perhaps some troops will be able to pass through these blockade areas safely and smoothly join the 13th Division.

Making such a decision also shows that Keisuke Fujie has prepared for the worst. Even if he didn't want to take this step, he knew that only in this way might he be able to ensure that the number of the 16th Division would not be revoked.

If the entire division is completely annihilated, then he, the commander of the division, will also be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Japanese army forever. The other generals who heard Keisuke Fujie's words also seemed to know that they would be in a dangerous situation next.

As the reconnaissance regiment in the shortest possible time, the Japanese infantry brigade responsible for escorting was eliminated. The entire highway has become a battlefield full of corpses.

Among these corpses, there were many corpses of officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. But more than that, it's the corpse of the little devil. Knowing that the time was urgent, many soldiers who had just finished the battle did not have time to be sad and immediately clean up the battlefield.

They know that the real battle will begin! (To be continued.) )
