Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Northern Branch Dispatch Army. Lieutenant General Kiyoji Kazuki is gathering the generals to discuss a way to free the remnants of Tomakomechi. An officer suddenly walked into the conference room, bowed, and placed a telegram in front of Kiyoji Kazuki's desk.

Seiji Kazuki picked up the telegram and read a line before he was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair, and then his face turned pale and his hands trembled.

Chief of Staff Ochiai Shikuro Osa hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Commander, what happened?" ”

Kazuki Kiyoji said bitterly: "Tomami Dijun has become a god, this is the farewell message he sent." ”

The officers present were extremely shocked when they heard this, and as soon as Kiyoshi Kazuki's voice fell, there was an uproar in the venue.

Ochiai Shikuro Osa said angrily: "Enough, isn't it messy enough?" "Within the Japanese army, the status of the chief of staff and staff officers is very high, and the commanders below are subordinate even if they have a high rank, so Ochiai Shikuro dares to be angry at a group of lieutenant generals and major generals.

Director Xiangyue Qing sighed, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Since the war of Rilu (the Japanese called Maozi Lucia), the empire has never suffered such a fiasco, and it is only right that the monarchs are shocked!" ”

Ochiai Shikuro hurriedly said, "Your Excellency! ”

As if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, Kiyoji Kazuki said sadly: "I am alone in charge of this defeat, and I will ask His Majesty the Emperor and the military department for punishment." However, before the military headquarters can dismiss me, we must free the 132nd Wing. The empire can no longer suffer a crushing defeat like Taierzhuang! ”

The officers lowered their heads with a snort, and then said in unison, "Hai! ”

Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, commander of the 109th Division, said: "Your Excellency, as far as I know, reinforcements have arrived on the periphery of Wende Heights this morning, and the Army Aviation has sent a full 12 planes to help. With such a strong aid, Tomaji-kun is also a famous brave general in the army, how could he not last even a day? ”

Kazuki Kiyoji shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The 132nd Wing was intercepted by the Chinese army on the front line of Flood Town, and fought fiercely for several hours, but did not gain an inch; The Army also failed to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy, but lost one plane! ”

There was another uproar in the conference room, and everyone was shocked by the sudden outbreak of such combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. In the minds of the Japanese officers, the Chinese army was simply vulnerable, and a brigade was enough to chase a division. But now, two wings are gone, and the other is in extreme danger.

Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou said suspiciously: "Your Excellency, I really find it difficult to accept, when did the Shina army have such a strong combat effectiveness?" Could it be the 33rd Division that made a big fuss in Taiyuan? ”

Major General Tanito Nagaei, commander of the 31st Brigade, interjected and said, "Ha, 33rd Division? Aren't they routed on the Zhengtai line? In the Yingyangling blockade battle, the casualties on both sides were relatively large, but the 33rd Division was dispersed and evacuated, and the independent 4th Mixed Brigade lied about a "big victory".

Yamaoka glared at Tanito Nagaei fiercely, and the guy was so frightened that he hurriedly closed his mouth. Seeing this, the other officers wisely kept their mouths shut. The loss of Taiyuan is a heavy scar on the hill, which he can expose himself, but others can't touch it.

Kiyoshi Kazuki handed the telegram to Shigetsuki Yamaoka and said, "Tomaji-kun said that the biggest enemy in this battle is the Third Army of China, and he did not pay attention to it before, which is a serious dereliction of duty on the part of the intelligence department!" ”

Voiceover, someone once had a black sweat on his face, obviously without my words!

Yamaoka took the telegram and looked at it, and said indignantly: "Yaga, despicable Shina! Your Excellency, Commander, I propose that this ministry be punished! ”

Kazuki Kiyoji nodded and said, "I will inform the North China Intelligence Department to pay attention to this department." However, the top priority is to rescue the 132nd Wing, and not let them repeat the mistakes of Tomaji-kun. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to say? Please tell us all! ”

The officers quarreled with each other, but for a time they could not come up with any good solution. The main reason is that the reinforcements are too far away, and the mobilization of large troops requires the preparation of food and grass, and it is impossible to dispatch immediately.

The 132nd Wing was fleeing north for its life at this time. As soon as the artillery sound in the direction of Guanjiayuan stopped, Ebi, Mingei Dazuo, felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped the attack and prepared to evacuate. Japanese planes also quickly arrived to cover their retreat.

Regiment Commander Wu Quanfu looked depressedly at the plane hovering in the sky, and had to dispel the idea of pursuit. The soldiers also felt very angry, and they stared at the plane one by one, eager to shoot down one by one.

Commander Han Xianchu was afraid that Wu Quanfu would rush in, so he specially called and said, "Commander Wu, don't pursue for the time being." Division Commander Zheng and Division Commander Liu are discussing countermeasures, so that the soldiers should stay on the ground first and not be impatient! ”

Head Wu smiled bitterly: "It's useless to be anxious, the devil's plane is still circling overhead!" Hey, it's really bad luck to see the meat in your mouth run away! ”

Head Han comforted: "It is impossible for the plane to follow all the time, Hai Lao Mingrong is now a lone soldier all the way, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't save him!" ”

In the town of Panlong, the war room of the headquarters of the 33rd Division. Division Commander Liu pointed to the map and said: "I have ordered Wang Naigui's detachment and the fifth detachment of the 115th Division to attack Liao County in the south, and also ordered the 129th Division's teaching regiment and independent regiment to cut off the passage between Liao County and Heshun County. Even if the Japanese army fled to Liao County, our army could still pursue it overnight and strive to annihilate it between Liao County and Heshun! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Do the Wang detachment and the fifth detachment have heavy weapons? ”

Master Liu was a little embarrassed and said, "Not yet." "The five detachments were formed by the expansion of the second battalion of the 685th regiment, and of course they were not covered by heavy weapons. The Wang detachment was even worse, it was formed by the expansion of a company of the 769th Regiment, and it is estimated that there was not even a heavy machine gun.

Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and said, "With the marching speed of the 132nd Wing, you can return to Liao County within seven hours." In such a short period of time, with only two regiments without heavy weapons, I am afraid that they will not be able to capture the county seat of Liaoxian. ”

Without heavy weapons, the Japanese army only had to put a machine gun on the head of the city. After all, no matter how brave you are, you are flesh and blood, and it is impossible to compete with the rain of bullets.

Division Commander Liu sighed and said, "Yes, it's not easy to capture Liao County. However, our purpose was not to attack the city, but to cut off Liaoxian from the outside world and exacerbate the panic within the Japanese army. ”

Zheng Weiguo suddenly realized and said: "I understand, Division Commander Liu is worried that the Japanese army will stick to Liao County and wait for reinforcements, and wants to force the Japanese army to continue to flee north?" ”

Master Liu smiled: "That's right! Although it is unlikely that the Japanese army will hold Liao County, this possibility cannot be ruled out. I'm not afraid that he will come a few ways, but I am afraid that he will not leave. If we let them lay a nail in the base area, our military strength will be greatly constrained, and the production and construction of the base area will also be greatly affected. ”

Brigade Commander Chen thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Division commander, what if the Japanese army breaks through to the north regardless of the cost?" The Japanese army is covered by aircraft, and our army's movement during the day is extremely inconvenient, and I am worried that I will not be able to catch up! ”

Once Ebi Naei discovers that he is in danger of being surrounded and annihilated, it is very likely that he will forcibly march north and flee. With the strength of the Japanese army on this road, only a few local regiments could not stop it.

Zheng Weiguo said: "Then let the Wang detachment and the fifth detachment open the road and attack both sides." The guerrillas and militia could also harass along the route and slow down the Japanese army's march as much as possible. In short, if the Japanese army wants to defend, we will take it; The Japanese army fled, and we dragged it out. Let it be in a dilemma and buy time for the main force to arrive. ”

Division Commander Liu said happily: "Division Commander Zheng's words are very clever in the use of soldiers, and they are really terrifying!" ”

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, I just figured it out!" "The battle of Changle Village caused the 129th Division to suffer great losses, and Division Commander Liu was reluctant to get the fat in his mouth, and he didn't want to fight the Japanese army, so he gave Ebino a problem.

Hai Lao Mingrong, who retreated all the way north with his head stuffy, quickly tasted the power of this kraft candy tactic. Although the Eighth Route Army did not block it head-on, it fired one shot from the east and one shot from the west, which made the Japanese army unable to defend themselves and extremely annoyed.

Bang! An officer was suddenly shot coldly, and the Japanese army could no longer bear it, and they asked Hai Lao Mingrong to fight, demanding that the "hairy monkey" who shot the cold gun be punished.

Faced with the request of his subordinates to fight, Ebi Mingrong refused without hesitation. After all, the damage caused by the raid was very limited, and a few people could not die, and it would be a great danger if the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and the "Third Army" could catch up.

An officer was about to say more, but Ebi Mingrong said coldly: "Yaga, do you want to become a god like Tomamiji-kun?" ”

The officer was startled and had to bow his head and admit his mistake. Under the strong pressure of Hai Lao Mingrong, the Japanese army ignored the attack of Tuba Road, and fled all the way back to Liao County at the cost of more than ten dead and wounded.
