Chapter 1201: Race against time
Li Guoshun tied up his belt, inserted the pistol into the holster, and strode out. As soon as he reached the door, two men stopped him.
"Commander, what do you mean by the Japanese? Let's attack Shijiazhuang, they're fine, right? Just our people, still attacking Shijiazhuang? A strong man said in a weird way, his eyes full of complaints.
"Yes, Commander, little Japan is asking us to die. They can't defeat the People's Liberation Army by themselves, even if they can't defeat the People's Liberation Army, now that Shijiazhuang has been occupied by the People's Liberation Army, where can we have the ability to go against the People's Liberation Army. I'm afraid we'll never come back! "The other guy was bald, and although he spoke in a very soft tone, he was full of complaints.
Li Guoshun looked at his two fierce generals, and sighed helplessly: "You brother and I can't help it, Xiangyue Qingji's camp has just sent an urgent telegram, let us go to Shijiazhuang immediately and attack the People's Liberation Army there." Not only our troops, but also Liu Quan and Zhang Dayong's troops also received the same order, let us attack Shijiazhuang as soon as possible, and be sure to take it back! ”
The bald man's eyes widened and said, "Liu Quan and Zhang Dayong are not fuel-efficient lamps, did they agree?" ”
"Can you not say yes? This is a telegram sent by Seiji Kazuki himself, and whoever dares not to agree to it is betraying the Japanese, and sooner or later he will be killed by the Japanese. He heard that Liu Quan's troops had already set off, and although Zhang Dayong was grinding, his army would definitely have to be mobilized. We can't stay still, the Japanese must have sent spies to spy on us. If you don't move, to be honest, our brothers' heads may be picked off before dawn! ”
The strong man and the bald man were silent, they all knew the methods of the Japanese, and those devils had always been ruthless. Their puppet army is just a dog under the feet of the devil, and they usually do all the bad things. If even the Japanese can't tolerate them, where will there be a place for them in the huge China?
"Let's go, my two good brothers, the troops have been assembled, right? If we don't fight this time, we will fight, and in the end, we will bring the remaining people into the mountains to become bandits, so that the Japanese will not blame us, and the People's Liberation Army will not come to chase after us remnants. The world is like this, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who told us to hand in bad luck! Li Guoshun sighed helplessly.
Two of his warriors stomped their feet, turned and left. Li Guoshun shook his head helplessly and followed closely.
There were still three hours before dawn, and nearly 100,000 puppet troops in the Dingzhou area all started and marched in the direction of Shijiazhuang.
Most of these puppet armies are equipped with new weapons, and the so-called new weapons are the Japanese who eliminated the original old weapons from them because they replaced them with real new weapons.
Although for these puppet troops, the old equipment of the little devils is already very advanced for them. But to take these backward equipment to fight with the PLA, no puppet army has the bottom of their hearts.
But no matter what kind of mentality they have, the order has been issued, and they cannot be delayed, so they can only go to the battlefield with the whole army to complete their mission.
Just as the puppet army was urgently mobilized, the Japanese army in Tianjin also received an order from Kazuki Kiyoji. Lieutenant General Yoshihiro Okubo, the supreme commander of the 150,000 Japanese troops, held a telegram from Seiji Kazuki, his face full of mockery.
"Your Excellency General, are we really going to reinforce Yukotaro?" An Osa, standing behind Okubo, asked.
"Kiyoji Kazuki has no troops, so he wants to use us to rescue his men. But we won't be transferred by him, Kazuki Kiyoji should come to ask His Excellency the General, send a telegram and want us to go? Another devil officer said dissatisfiedly.
"That is, Kazuki Kiyoji does not have any favors to us, and we are not troops in the Central China Dispatch Army. Now that Yukotaro is trapped, it should be Seiji Kazuki to figure out his own way, why did he ask us to go? ”
A group of devil officers behind Okubo Yoshishi were talking, and everyone showed an attitude of dissatisfaction, which seemed to be superior, and Kazuki Kiyoji should have brought all the officers of the Central China Dispatch Army to kneel down and beg them for help.
Okubo Yoshishi never spoke, because before the telegram from Kazuki Kiyoshi arrived, the vice president of the Black Dragon Society and the commander of the military department made a private call to him at the same time, ordering him to listen to the command of Kazuki Kiyoji in all his actions, and it was the immediate priority to protect Hebei.
The vice president of the Black Dragon Society must be given face, but that is a big man, and Okubo Yoshio can't afford to provoke him. The top brass of the military department are even more in charge of his future destiny, and he cannot be provoked.
But he was very unconvinced, why is he a lieutenant general, he Xiangyue Qingji can be the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, and he can command himself with arrogance?
"Want to use the top to press me? Seiji Kazuki, there's really you! Okubo snorted coldly in his heart: "Okay, then let you press me." I, Okubo Yoshi, am not an incapable person, so I will use my record to let all the big guys take a good look, which point is worse than you Kazuki Kiyoji! ”
The commander's order did not dare to disobey Okubo, and at this time he turned his head sharply and glanced at his subordinates coldly: "Okay, don't fight." It's all for the good of the empire, and now what are you sharing with each other? ”
His righteousness suddenly made all his subordinates silent, and everyone lowered their heads, like children who had done something wrong.
"We are all motorized troops, and it takes about two days to reach the border area from Tianjin! All troops were ordered to move at once, and we advanced towards the border. Yukotaro still has his troops, as long as we go, they can't die! ”
An hour before dawn, this is the darkest hour of the day. Major General Yukutaro and Heisho had been waiting anxiously by the telegraph, staring at the telegraph machine.
Suddenly, the telegraph rang, and the two of them pounced as if they had seen a god, and Yukotaro shouted to the telegraph operator even more excitedly: "Quick, fast translation, quick!" ”
The telegraph operator did not dare to delay, and one received the message and the other immediately translated it beside him. Soon, a telegram was delivered to Yukotaro.
Major General Yukotaro and Heigo looked at the telegram that made their hands tremble, and suddenly Qiqi laughed.
"Commander Xiangyue really won't give up on us, and he found reinforcements so quickly! I thought he couldn't pull reinforcements at all, hahahaha It's really Commander Xiangyue! Yukotaro laughed triumphantly.
But he didn't know that when he sent this telegram, Kiyoji Kazuki wanted to shred him up as a bastard. It was because of his decision to attack the border that 100,000 Japanese troops were trapped here and were in danger of being destroyed at any time.
"Yougujun, we are saved. As soon as reinforcements arrive, they can assist us in attacking the Chinese people on the border. Aren't they arrogant, dragging us and not letting us go. This 150,000 reinforcements are coming, so that they will die without a place to be buried! Major General Pingxiang laughed.
"Yes, Commander Xiangyue also specially sent 100,000 Imperial Cooperative troops to attack Shijiazhuang and hold back the Chinese troops there. Even if the people want to withdraw, it's too late, and even if the Imperial Alliance Army is incompetent, it's no problem to hold them back for a few days. When the time comes, as soon as our reinforcements arrive, all the people in the border area will be finished! Yukotaro's eyes lit up with excitement.
The two of them celebrated with their crowns, and they almost found a bottle of sake and sat down to drink. The sky outside gradually revealed a trace of white light, and the night seemed to be unable to withstand the attack of the day, and gradually began to retreat.
At this moment, an officer suddenly rushed into the telegraph room and yelled at Yukotaro: "Your Excellency General, it's not good, the people of Zhina are here!" ”
Yukotaro was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the Shina people?" The Chinese army along the border? Did they attack us? ”
"No, no, it's not the border China troops. It was from the direction of Shijiazhuang, tens of thousands of people were all over the mountains, and we were surrounded! The devil who reported it was panting and his face was full of horror.
"What? We're surrounded? Yukotaro shuddered with fright, and the telegram in his hand landed leisurely.
He and Major General Pingxiang glanced at each other, and both of them were very shocked. They only thought a few hours ago that the PLA troops in Shijiazhuang might come back for reinforcements, and they came back so soon, did they fly back?
Yukotaro only received a telegram from Kiyoji Kazuki tonight, saying that Shijiazhuang was in danger. It has only been eight hours since the telegram was received.
In these short eight hours, the People's Liberation Army not only captured Shijiazhuang, but also came back to surround him here?
Yukotaro only felt his scalp tingle, and asked tremblingly, "How many troops are here?" How many PLA? ”
"I don't know, it's dense, and the black light blinds the fire at all! Our troops in the rear on the left and right flanks have been packed up by them, and now we are completely surrounded! The devil who reported the news was so frightened that he screamed, and the whole person was frightened as if he had seen a ghost.
"Let's go, go out and have a look, go out and see" Yukotaro felt as if he had lost his soul, and pulled Major General Heigo and walked out.
There was a complete chaos outside, and all the troops knew that the PLA had returned from Shijiazhuang. They were already entangled enough by the People's Liberation Army in the border area, and now they have killed tens of thousands of troops, almost breaking their nerves.
Major General Yukutaro and Heisho, escorted by the guards, quickly ascended to a high ground. A hazy white light lit up from the east, and the sky was still gloomy. However, Yukotaro took advantage of this faint light to see clearly a large number of troops coming quickly from the direction of Shijiazhuang.
The first to pounce on his drill was the tank unit that was deployed in a line and advanced in a flat manner. The loud rumbling sound seemed to be rolling down on his heart, tearing out every nerve in him.
Boom Boom At this moment, all the tanks opened fire in unison. The whistling shells landed accurately in the direction of the Japanese rear army, and the flames of the explosion suddenly rose into the sky.
"Concealment, concealment, the whole army immediately retreats!" Yukotaro roared hoarsely, his voice drowned out by the cries of fear around him.
