It is often said that people are not as good as heaven, and plans can never catch up with change. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe ideals of the North China Front Command are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Lieutenant General Tada Jun never thought that there would be more than 300,000 troops in Ma Zheng's hands, and even if more than 100,000 of them could not go directly to the battlefield to fight the field troops of the North China Front, there was no problem in staying in the area under his jurisdiction to act as a defender.

In addition, Ma Zheng also used the tactics of Tian Ji in the horse race to use the integrated third division, which was not strong in combat effectiveness, and the small guerrilla units, county brigades, and district squads in eastern Hebei, to contain the Japanese army's most powerful field divisions in eastern Hebei, while the strongest units of the Suicha Military Region attacked in central Hebei, northern Hebei, southern Hebei, and southern Chanan, and in just over half a month, they continuously annihilated the third independent mixed division. The 4th Brigade, the 26th Division, the Kato Brigade and many other troops.

Moreover, after receiving Ma Zheng's dangerous telegram, almost all the troops of the Suicha Military Region that could arrive in a short time were dispatched. The reorganized 1st Division, which had been leading but not triggered, also quickly went north to reinforce Daixian, and for a time Daixian was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

In order to rescue Ma Zheng as soon as possible, almost all the troops adopted the tactic of breaking through at all costs, regardless of casualties to break through the Japanese army's blocking line, yesterday Major General Hirata did not feel anything unusual, but by this morning, Major General Hirata had rushed to obvious pressure, and almost all the blocking troops were asking for reinforcements, which made Major General Hirata feel that something was wrong.

However, in order to complete the task assigned by His Excellency the commander, even though he knew that there would be no good fruit to eat if he stayed, Major General Hirata still decided to catch Ma Zheng first. Besides, now that the battle in the city has reached the most critical moment, it is necessary to hold on to anything.

Wave after wave of troops were sent out, but the troops in charge of blocking the attack were still complaining, and the defensive line was broken through one by one. Originally, Major General Hirata thought that after dark, the Chinese troops might stop attacking, and he could also withdraw the wounded to a safe place in the rear, and at the same time he could withdraw the troops in some areas to rest. But the Eighth Route Army did not stop attacking, but launched an even more frantic assault.

Since the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army were under their control after dark, and the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army could exert 200 percent combat effectiveness in a dark environment, Major General Hirata felt the pressure increase sharply after dark, and it would be difficult for his troops to support the fight at this speed. Moreover, the frenzier the Eighth Route Army's attack, the more revealing it is, and it can also prove that Ma Zheng must be in the city, otherwise the Chinese army would not have attacked so violently.

As the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Major General Hirata knew very well that Ma Zheng in Dai County would be the only hope for him and the tens of thousands of people under his command. As long as Ma Zheng is captured alive, then he and his troops will have a guarantee of survival. Otherwise, there will be nothing but death that awaits them.

But when he received the news of Major General Fujita's death in battle, Hirata Masato was stupid. What the reporter said next, Major General Hirata did not remember at all, he knew that this time his troops were completely finished, and without the command of Major General Fujita, the plan to capture Daixian would not be completed at all

After about ten minutes of delay, Major General Hirata finally gave the order to break out to all the officers in the command with difficulty: "Gentlemen, at this time, Commander Fujita has suddenly encountered an accident, and our mission to capture Dai County and capture Ma Zheng alive has failed. Moreover, the army of China has already surrounded it, and our department can only break through for now. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, I don't agree to break through, not to mention that we have suffered so many casualties and have no results at all, and we will definitely be blamed and punished by the base camp when we go back. Let's just say that we are not without a little way in the current war, now we are in an absolute advantage in the battle in the city, the position west of China has been broken through by our army twice, and the last line of defense is already crumbling. ”

"At the same time, the position of China in the south has just been occupied by our army, and our army will be able to capture the entire Dai County in two hours at most, so we have not yet reached the last opportunity to break through. What's more, we can ask the front command for operational guidance, and when the aviation units can be dispatched tomorrow, the lost ammunition can be airdropped, so we don't agree to retreat and break through. Shinohara, a senior staff officer at the command, objected loudly.

At this time, Major General Hirata no longer had the energy to be angry with the famous stinky temper in this army, and he knew that there were many things that these staff officers were not clear, so it was useless to blame him.

"Now I tell you a few top-secret information, the Chinese army defeated the defenders of Miyun yesterday, the base camp of the front army, Beiping, was besieged by a large number of troops in China, the outer positions of Beiping have been lost, and His Excellency Tada Jun has been besieged in Beiping City by the Eighth Route Army of China. At the same time, another large army of Luzhina has also captured Zunhua and Jixian, so we have no hope. ”

"Now while the Chinese army has not yet completed the encirclement, according to the intelligence sent by the intelligence department, many Chinese troops are still on their way to Daixian, as long as we can get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese army in the direction of Daixian, the Chinese army will not want to completely annihilate our army. So we must withdraw, withdraw, immediately! If something happens, I will personally bear it, and I will definitely not involve you. Lieutenant General Hirata said loudly.

This is not that Major General Fujita deliberately said this to win the sympathy of his subordinates, he knew that this time the front army was defeated, and a large number of elite losses must be taken accountable, Lieutenant General Tada Jun needless to say, as the supreme commander of the North China Front at this time and also the person who formulated and implemented the plan for the North China Battle, Tada Jun bears unshirkable responsibility for this campaign.

However, this does not mean that they, the lieutenant generals and division commanders, have no responsibility, such a major disaster, yes, it is true that this battle can only be described as a disaster. Someone has to be responsible for such a fiasco. And it is definitely not something that Lieutenant General Tada Jun can bear alone, even if he and his troops can break out of the encirclement this time, he, the deputy chief of staff, will definitely not have good fruit to eat.

With such a defeat, as commanders, they will not go to court-martial, and their safe retirement is already the best result, and if they don't work hard, they will even be ordered to commit suicide by disembowelment.

Therefore, what Major General Hirata could do at this time was to withdraw as much as possible the troops that were semi-surrounded by Ma Zheng's army, and the more he withdrew, the lighter his "sins" would be, so he said this.

Seeing that Major General Hirata said this, all the officers in the command shouted: "Hai! ”

Major General Hirata was also not polite, he knew that he would not have too many opportunities to give orders to so many officers with such a beautiful scenery as today, so he cherished this opportunity and said loudly: "Order: The troops attacking Daixian immediately cover each other and withdraw from the battle, the heavy artillery units immediately blow up all the heavy artillery and shells, and the remnants of the troops immediately assemble at the headquarters." The 79th Infantry Wing Regiment and the 106th Infantry Wing were ordered to immediately withdraw from the battle, leaving one infantry squadron behind each of them, and the main force immediately retreated in the direction of Lingqiu. ”

"Hay! Hear me clearly! ”

The efficiency of the Japanese army was still very fast, and as soon as the order of Major General Hirata Masashi was issued, almost all the Japanese troops began to move. In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from seeing their intention to retreat, the Japanese troops on the front line also deliberately organized two charges, and although they suffered many casualties, they finally beat down the "arrogant" arrogance of the Eighth Route Army.

But soon the Eighth Route Army, which was commanding the operation on the front line, discovered the abnormality of the Japanese army, but by the time Nie Rongzhen, Bi Lige and others who commanded the operation reacted, it was too late, and the large force of the Japanese army had already withdrawn from Daixian. But everyone doesn't care about this, as long as Ma Zheng is fine, everything else is easy to say.

At the same time, Ma Zheng, who was compressed by the Japanese army to the ammunition depot, also received the news that the Japanese army had retreated, and at the first time after receiving the news, Ma Zheng gave an order to all the troops on the front line to pursue the enemy.
