Chapter 604: The winner is decided

East of Shimen City, under the nameless soil slope, the Japanese puppet army headquarters on the East Road.

The communications adjutant walked to Sakai Tatsuzo's bed with a telegram with a solemn face, and when he heard footsteps, Sakai Tatsuzo, who was asleep, had already woken up, looked up and opened his eyes to see him, and quickly sat up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"General, I just got an unfortunate news, a group of cavalry attacked Raoyang and Anping counties in succession at night, and the garrison troops and a large number of military supplies we left in the two counties were all wiped out and lost." After speaking, the communications adjutant hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Sakai Ritsuzo, whose face had begun to change suddenly.

Sakai Lizo was sleepy for a moment, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, his face gradually became hideous and terrifying, his fists clenched and gurgling, and suddenly a fist smashed on the wooden box next to him, making a loud noise, and roaring angrily: "The Chinese cavalry? Aren't they already surrounded in Dingzhou? How did it appear in Raoyang again? ”

The adjutant bowed his head: "This, the humble position is not clear, perhaps, this is another branch of the army." ”

Sakai Ritsuzo, who was in a fit of rage, kicked him to the ground with a sharp kick, and roared in annoyance, "Another cavalry!? Bastard, there is only such a cavalry unit in the Dragon's Tooth Column, where did the second cavalry come from? ”

The extremely angry Sakai Lizo suddenly thought of something, his eyes full of anger suddenly turned to the map hanging not far away, walked over to look at it for a while, and couldn't help nodding secretly: "Baga, it seems that we have been fooled, the Chinese cavalry north of Dingzhou is not all the Chinese cavalry, it is just a suspicious army!" It must be so! Bagaya Road! ”

"General Yingming, what should we do then?" The communications adjutant hurriedly patted his ass and asked cautiously.

Sakai Rizo thought for a while and said, "Inform General Kawayasu Mube of this news, and order the Imperial Army, the main force of our Eastern Route Army, to immediately cancel the original battle plan, return to Raoyang, Anping, and reoccupy these areas." At the same time, the troops defending the city in Hengshui were strictly ordered to take strict precautions, and they must not let the cavalry of China have any chance to take advantage of it. ”

"Hay!" The communications adjutant hurriedly bowed his head in response, and then turned around and took the order.

He understood that Sakai Ritsuzo was in a state of extreme anger right now, and of course he didn't want to stay here as a punching bag, so he could hide.

After the communications adjutant left, a furious Sakai Tatsuzo kicked an empty ammunition box in front of him again, slammed it into the military tent, and fell to the ground.

There was a dull sound, and with Hengshui, Raoyang, and Anping were lost one after another, and the military supplies that his Eastern Route Coalition Army had hoarded in these places had been lost.

Relying only on the materials carried by the combat units themselves, after such a long period of combat consumption, there is not much left, and without the supply of ammunition and materials, this war is still a fart.

As for counting on the front army headquarters to provide another logistical supply, it is estimated that it is also unlikely, because in order to win the battle of Wuhan, the Japanese base camp gave priority to almost all the supplies that could be supplied to the army in Central China.

In addition, in order to encircle and suppress the predecessor of the Dragon's Tooth Column, the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, it has consumed two strategic materials for the battle, and now although a large number of Imperial Cooperative troops have surrendered, they have brought a lot of supplies.

In order to organize this encirclement and suppression, the North China Front Command can be said to have taken out all the funds, and in a short period of time, before the empire's local industry has recovered its vitality, it is impossible to obtain the quota of weapons, ammunition and other materials for the battle.

In other words, the Japanese puppet coalition forces on the eastern route will not be able to obtain a new batch of war materials from the rear in a short period of time, which means that this encirclement and suppression will end in failure.

In addition, the situation of the Western Route Army will not be much better than that of Sakai Rizo's Eastern Route Army, which is why Sakai Lizo is so angry.

…………

Dingzhou City, the headquarters of the Japanese puppet coalition on the West Road.

Chuan Yasu was waiting for the good news of the encirclement and suppression of the troops, but he didn't expect to wait for Sakai Ritsuzo's telegram, when he learned that he had been fooled, the main force of the dragon tooth cavalry had already escaped, and after attacking and capturing Raoyang and Anping, this guy almost vomited blood in anger.

Extremely angry, he immediately ordered all the encirclement and suppression troops to march at full speed, and at any cost, to eliminate the suspicious troops in this encirclement.

To vent the hatred in my heart!

Angrily arranging this qiē, Chuan Yasumu calmly gave the order, and then reported the news to the front army headquarters in Beiping.

Like Sakai Ritsuzo, this encirclement and suppression campaign has been fought so far, and Kawayasu can be said to have no hope of victory, so he reported the current situation to the front army headquarters and asked them to decide what to do next.

Even if it is a retreat, it must be approved by the front army headquarters.

…………

After the sky brightened the next day, on a wilderness about fifty miles northwest of Dingzhou, hundreds of dragon tooth cavalry were riding horses and galloping.

"Deputy battalion commander, the little devil found us and caught up." A cavalry platoon commander rode up to Zhao Tiezhu and said loudly.

Zhao Tiezhu turned his head and raised his binoculars to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a group of devil soldiers, driving side three-wheeled motorcycles and several armored vehicles, followed by a large number of infantry, who were quickly chasing after them.

Since they didn't carry a radio station, they couldn't get in touch with Qiao Youhua and even the other Dragon Tooth regiments, so naturally they didn't know that Qiao Youhua had already succeeded.

Therefore, Zhao Tiezhu had to take the initiative to expose some of his whereabouts to the little devils in order to achieve the purpose of continuing to attract and contain them.

Zhao Tiezhu looked at it for a while, put away the binoculars and said: "Tell the brothers, it is impossible for the little devil's motorcycle and the Iron King Eight to catch up with us, run with confidence, hold on for another half a day, and we will withdraw!" ”

"Yes!" The cavalry platoon commander replied abruptly, looking back at the Japanese pursuers who were biting them, and a trace of sorrow flashed between his eyebrows, this was just a Japanese pursuit force with strong mobility.

There must be more devil infantry around, they should have already surrounded them, and they should be waiting for the net, right?

Whether or not they can break out of the encirclement really has to be said, but the deputy battalion commander is not afraid, they are still afraid of a ball, the big deal is to die, anyway, it is already enough.

Firming up his inner will, he quickly whipped his horse, urging the soldiers to speed up, and soon threw the devil's pursuers away without a trace.

The cavalry platoon commander's concern was not wrong, the main force of the Japanese army on the western route of several thousand people had indeed surrounded them, and now they were advancing in unison in all parts of the periphery, compressing their area of activity.

The final decisive moment will not be long before it comes!
