The rear supply center was bombed, and the commander of the division on the front vomited blood and fell into a coma. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info such a thing undoubtedly filled the hearts of the generals of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army stationed on the front line of Luohe, and felt that this unfortunate thing had all been piled up.

After receiving a telegram from the 14th Division, the commander of the Central China Front, Shunroku Hatata, also scolded his mother. You must know that in order to raise the materials and ammunition needed by the two divisions, Shunroku Hata can be said to have spent a lot of effort.

In addition, a large number of aircraft were used to resupply it in the air. The result did not come to fruition, so that the Eighth Route Army was completely destroyed in one air raid. As a result, the two Japanese divisions and regiments stationed in the Zhumadian area will undoubtedly face the situation of running out of ammunition and food.

Looking at the time when the telegram came, Shunroku Hata quickly instructed the nearest Japanese plane to go for reinforcements. However, when the telegram was sent to the other side of the air, it received a telegram that it was too late for the plane to take off and could not land.

As soon as such a reply telegram came out, Shunroku Hata couldn't help but scold again: "Yaga! They had calculated the time and knew that we would not have time to help. But can anyone tell me why this information hasn't been discovered? ”

In Shunroku Hatata's opinion, if they could have known about the air force of the Eighth Route Army earlier, they would still have such bombing strength. Perhaps when it comes time to deploy defensive forces, they can also respond accordingly earlier.

As a result, now, the Eighth Route Army was directly caught off guard!

In the face of Shunroku Hatata's inquiry, it was almost impossible to think about it to know that the special high school of the Japanese army, which was in charge of intelligence work, would also be responsible for the bombing. Such a major intelligence mistake will inevitably require punishment!

Compared with the Japanese army discussing the coping strategy overnight, Mr. Peng and others, who were far away in Xinxiang, saw the Jiedian forwarded by He Zhengdao, and said happily: "Okay! Blow up the supply center of the little devils, and then see how they fight us! ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Henan Campaign, Mr. Peng has been under a lot of pressure recently. After all, the ongoing stalemate has made Yan'an and the headquarters more worried, hoping to break this stalemate as soon as possible.

It's just that the little devil won't retreat, and Mr. Peng has no choice. But now He Zhengdao's long-distance air raid has put the little devil in a dilemma again. If they did not hurry up and retreat, their troops in Zhumadian would not last long.

However, if these two divisions are to continue to fight in Zhumadian, material supplies must be guaranteed. At present, land transportation is simply unlucky, and can only rely on air delivery of supplies and supplies.

The most important thing is that at the moment, the Central China Front Army simply cannot come up with so many supplies and supplies. If supplies are raised from the country, there is no doubt that far water will not be able to save the near fire. Therefore, this trick has a bit of a taste of the bottom of the kettle!

Lore!

Looking at Mr. Peng with a smile on his face, Chief of Staff Zuo Quan also smiled and said, "Yes! This kid does have some advantages in fighting, and he can always find the deadly part of the enemy. It's a headache to be targeted by it!

However, what we need to do now is to launch an all-out offensive as soon as possible. Through onslaught, fight with the little devils to consume. It only takes one night of fierce fighting, and I believe that the little devils will know that they will soon be in a situation where they will run out of ammunition and food.

If they don't retreat next, we will continue to be fierce and annihilate the two Japanese divisions in Zhumadian. If they were wise, they would have known that this is the time to retreat. If we drive them out of Henan, we can also breathe a sigh of relief. ”

'Nice! Send a telegram to the 116th Division and the 1st Division of the New 67th Army so that they can start the offensive. In addition, we instructed our baggage troops to send the batch of supplies that had been transported from Shanxi to Xinyang as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also sent a telegram to Xiao Jinguang, asking him to let go of his hands and feet next. As long as the little devils are driven out of Zhumadian, the headquarters will give priority to replenishing their supplies and ammunition. Let's fight the battle in front of us first! ’

'Yes, I'm going to draft a telegram!' ’

It is clear that because the location of the new 67th Army is relatively remote, even if the headquarters wants to replenish its supplies, it will be somewhat difficult. It's just that Mr. Peng is also aware that there is also a New Fourth Army that has this kind of problem.

Fortunately, the New Fourth Army and the New 67th Army are both units that are better at stockpiling supplies and ammunition. Now that the war is in full swing, those reserved materials must also be released to fight. The sooner the campaign is ended, the better it will be for both armies.

After receiving the telegram from the former commander, the artillery units of the Eighth Route Army, which had already been prepared, looked at the shells that had been delivered one after another in the past two days, and knew that they could finally open up today. And they will also be completely addicted!

Liu Zhidan, who was on the front line of Luohe, looked at the telegram sent by the front finger and immediately said: "Order the artillery regiment to give me a fierce artillery shelling of the little devil's frontline position tonight." The rest of the combat units are ready for a surprise attack at any time! ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

Orders like this were also conveyed to the artillery units of the 1st Division of the New 67th Army. Even the 14th Division, which had just experienced the division commander vomiting blood and falling into a coma, soon saw a scene that shocked their front-line troops.

Although during this time, they clashed with the Eighth Route Army many times. They were also very surprised to see such a fierce artillery bombardment coming from the position of the Eighth Route Army. After all, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army had rarely carried out such heavy shelling before.

The commander of the Japanese army in the front-line position also quickly said: "Order our artillery units, prepare for a counterattack!" ”

As the artillery unit of the little devil launched a counterattack, the artillery of both sides also shelled back and forth this night. The Japanese troops who stayed in the position, looking at this scene of artillery firing each other, also felt that this scene was very rare.

It was only with the Japanese artillery units that they constantly pulled out the shells stored on the front line for counterattacks. The baggage soldier who was in charge of transporting the shells quickly said to the artillery commander: "Dazuo, we don't have many shells left!" ”

'Na! Didn't we just pull a batch of shells two days ago? Why did it run out so quickly? ’

'Report to Dazuo, in the past two days when we were on the defensive, we also carried out several shellings. Tonight, in order to counter the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, we have carried out several rounds of shelling, and the rate of shell consumption is a bit fast.

I had already sent a telegram to the infantry brigade in Runan, asking them to send a batch of artillery shells over as soon as possible. But the telegram sent has not yet been replied to. Do you want to ask for instructions from the division? ’

After the artillery general reported the situation, a major general brigade commander who temporarily took over the command of the 16th Division in Tu Feiyuan said with a headache: "Baga! Eight Roads are very insidious, and they must know about the bombing of our supply center.

Send a telegram to our artillery units on the front line and tell them to conserve ammunition. In the short term, we will no longer be able to supply them. The specific reasons can be sent to the commander of the front-line troops! ”

The front-line combat commanders were also stunned when they received a secret telegram from the division and regiment to learn that the materials stored in Runan had been blown up by the planes of the Eighth Route Army. They know very well what this means!

Looking at the artillery fire that was still fighting back, these commanders immediately said: "Call the artillery unit and ask them to count the number of shells." At least three combat base shells must be guaranteed, and once they are exceeded, the shelling should be stopped immediately! ”

After receiving a telegram from the headquarters, these Japanese artillery commanders also looked very surprised. After a short time, many artillery units sent telegrams, and most of their artillery units had only one or two shells left in the combat base.

When such a situation was reported to the division and regimental headquarters one after another, the commander of the Major General Brigade, who temporarily replaced the command of Tu Feiyuan, also felt a little blind. There are no shells in the front-line troops, what does this mean?

Fortunately, at this time, a staff officer suddenly said: "The division commander has arrived!" ”

Looking at Tu Feiyuan, who had vomited blood and was in a coma before, he actually appeared in the command room again. These division commanders, who were a little caught off guard, also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, it is undoubtedly rare for the division commander to wake up at this time!

After listening to the report of the commander of the Major General's Brigade, Tu Feiyuan, who had already come out of his grief, said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Order the front-line troops, shrink the defensive line, and be ready to withdraw from the battle at any time." It's time for this battle to end! ”

'General! It's not appropriate to retreat at this time, right? ’

Faced with the doubts of the commanders, Tu Feiyuan said calmly: "If we don't retreat, how long can our front-line troops hold out?" If we run out of ammunition, how are we going to retreat?

The supplies stored in Runan had already been urgently raised by the Front Army from the occupied areas. Food, such materials, may be able to raise another batch in a short period of time. But the ammunition we need, I'm afraid that the front army can't afford to supply too much.

If we don't withdraw at this time, when we run out of ammunition, do you think we can still leave from Zhumadian? A telegram was also sent to the 18th Division, informing them of the situation and preparing for evacuation at any time.

By the way, in addition, in my name, I sent a telegram to the commander of the front army, hoping that he would approve the beginning of the retreat of our two divisions into the territory of Anhui. If it is delayed, we can't withdraw if we want to! ”

After waking up, Tu Feiyuan knew very well what the bombing of the materials in Runan City meant to their two divisions. It would be really stupid not to hurry up and retreat and preserve the strength they had so hard to retain.

The most important thing is that the Henan Campaign, which has been fought for so long, also made the Japanese army exhausted. Previously, they had supplies, and they could continue to confront the Eighth Route Army. But now, they have lost this capital!

Seeing that it is about to snow in Henan, if it really snows. It will also be a huge burden for many Japanese troops fighting here. At that time, I am afraid that the materials needed will be even more.

In the final analysis, the Eighth Route Army's air attack also targeted their fatal point. Unexpectedly, this fatal point was caught, and if they didn't retreat, they would only lose more than they gained, and even fall into a situation like the Shanxi Dispatch Army.

As long as the troops of the two divisions can be safely evacuated to the territory of Anhui. At least Tu Feiyuan believes that the current situation in Anhui will soon calm down. And the Eighth Route Army believes that it will also stop the offensive in due time! (To be continued.) )
