Chapter 785 The Importance of Hu Hao (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Damn, the 1,000 devils don't disperse at all, and they don't chase after them, they know that we will fight back when we fight, and all of them will fight back together! We don't have many chances, we can't stop them! The captain of the squad reported to the monkey.
"I know, but now we have to find a way to stop those devils from advancing, Monk Li's troops are estimated to be on our side until about 2 o'clock in the evening, and we can delay as long as we can!" The monkey said to the squad leader,
The squad leader heard the monkey say this, thought for a while, nodded, and went up with his own people, now it doesn't matter if you can stop those devils or not, you can kill one more person, anyway, it's a training army!
After the monkey waited for the squad leader to leave, he was also worried, he couldn't let the devil continue to go forward, if he continued to go forward, then he understood that during the day, if the devil still carried out a rapid march, then it would take a lot of time to stop the devil, after all, the troops on the side of the independent division could not march during the day, and the devil's plane was now focused on taking care of this side, if it was discovered, it would definitely be blown up by the devil's bomber!
"Damn, if Brother Hao is here, none of you devils will want to run!" The monkey also took out his weapon as he spoke, and began to chase those devils,
And on the Nanjing side, Okamura Ningji is now waiting for the base camp to issue an order for the whole army to move in, and now he can't continue to attack, if he continues to attack, once the independent division really goes south, then he can't withdraw when the time comes, and then all the new forces of the entire empire will be buried in the entire Wuhan campaign, Okamura Ningji sent this telegram to the base camp, let the base camp judge,
And it is best to attach that if the offensive continues, he will resign from the post of commander of Nanking, preferring to be transferred to the side of Southeast Asia. This side can't turn the tide of the war at all, the strength of the national army is getting stronger and stronger now, and it is not at all that the strength of his empire can solve it for a while and a half, it is better to cut off the transportation line of the southeast national army first, and then the east and west sides will attack in the southwest of China at the same time, and then the national army will not have to run!
Soon, the telegram from the base camp came, and the chief of staff sent the telegram to Okamura Ninji and said: "The base camp agrees to your request, but I want you to report to the base camp, and at the same time, the retreat route on our side has also been arranged!" ”
Okamura Ninji didn't speak either. After receiving the telegram, he read it, and according to the telegram's requirements, all the troops were withdrawn, all the attacking troops in the southeast were withdrawn to the area of Fujian and Zhejiang, and all the attacking troops in the northeast were withdrawn to the area of Anhui and Shandong, and more than half of the troops were to be sent to Southeast Asia by troop carriers, and they had to go to the base camp to report on their work. The new commander will also depart from the mainland this evening and head here.
"Baga, I'll report on my work. What am I going to do? I've only been in command for a few days! Okamura stood up angrily. The chief of staff next to him lowered his head and didn't dare to speak at all, and Okamura Ninji unbuttoned himself and stood there sulking with his waist propped up.
"Report, Commander Heyuan Shinzo telegraphed!" A communications staff officer shouted in.
"Read!" Okamura Ninji didn't have the heart to connect the telegram, so he directly asked the staff officer to read it. In the telegram, Shinzo Heyuan explained his current situation, and hoped that tomorrow the bomber fleet would be able to escort his troops back, and hoped that the receiving troops could be arranged in the direction of Shandong, so that the troops of the independent division who followed behind would not dare to act rashly!
"Tell him. There are no receiving troops, and our bomber tomorrow will have to take care not only of the retreat of troops in his direction, but also of troops from other places. But I will send reconnaissance planes out to patrol, and if I find a large number of troops chasing them, there will be a bomber team to support them, and he must bring the remaining troops back to their temporary station in Shandong safely! Okamura Ninji said immediately.
"Hey!" The staff officer heard Okamura Ninji's order and immediately went out.
On the Chongqing side, it soon received the news that the devils might have to retreat on all fronts.
"Niang Xipi, stop fighting, go on! I see how many soldiers your devil has come to fight a frontal war with me now, Niang Xipi, now I know that it hurts! After the commander saw this information, he stood up very relieved and said.
The officers next to them also had a smile on their faces, in this battle, in more than 2 months and almost 3 months, the troops invested by both sides exceeded 4 million, of which 1.5 million were devils, more than 3.5 million were in the Chinese army, and more than 600,000 died on the devil's side, and about 1.5 million were sacrificed by the national army plus the Eighth Road.
In this war, although from the data point of view, China's casualties are greater, but strategically speaking, China is victorious, from now on in China, the devil does not want to launch such a big battle, and now China's army is bigger and stronger, and the army of bones is indeed getting weaker and weaker, the next time, will soon turn into a strategic stalemate stage, and when the time is ripe, you can immediately counterattack on all fronts and recover those rivers and mountains!
At this time, all the high-ranking generals of the command headquarters rushed to this side, and when the commanders saw them coming, they all stood up to greet those generals, and this big battle was all dependent on the command of those generals, and he and Ben had never intervened, but only ordered to agree to the transfer of troops by those commanders, and there were also preparations for logistics. Only those commanders who won this battle are also very happy!
"It's all here, sit, got the information, right?" The commander looked at them with a smile and said.
"Yes, we have received information that the devils want to retreat on all fronts, but the devils have not acted yet, and we dare not finalize it yet!" Li Zongren stood there and said.
"Well, yes, you need to be stable, you can't conclude that the devil wants to retreat because of a piece of intelligence, but from the current point of view, the devil should not have a chance to haode, the devil who sent to surrender the defenders in the direction of our Henan has been almost made by Hu Hao, and now in other places, the devil has not increased much of his troops, so at this time we must ask for stability!" After hearing what Li Zongren said, the commander nodded in agreement and Li Zongren said.
"Commander, we are here today because we want to discuss with you one thing, that is, if the devils really retreat, should we pursue it! A few of us don't dare to make decisions about this matter, I want to hear your decision! Li Zongren looked at the commander and continued.
"Well, let's go, let's go to the conference room!" The commander thought about it for a while, and felt that it was safer to go to the conference room to say that it was safer, there are still many people here who are not qualified to know this news, in case the news is revealed, it will be troublesome at that time! The commander took the lead to the conference room, and when he arrived at the conference room, the commander stood at the top, and those generals all stood separately.
"Let's do it! Later, everyone will tell us your opinions on whether or not to pursue the attack that Commander Li just put forward! The commander pressed his hand, and then he did it, and when those generals saw the commander doing it, they all did it one after another, looking at the direction of the commander.
"A few of you tell us what you think, after all, a few of you know the situation on the front line best!" The commander said to Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, and Chen Cheng.
"Commander, before we make this decision, we want to ask Hu Hao's opinion, we all mean this, his long-term judgment is not comparable to those of us!" Chen Cheng spoke first.
"Yes!" The commander nodded, and now he was thinking about whether to tell them the news that Hu Hao was seriously injured, he had blocked the news before!
"Hu Hao was seriously injured in order to block the devil's attack, and he was rescued this afternoon, if he hadn't severely damaged the devil's attack troops, I don't think the devil would have had the idea of retreating the whole army so soon!" The commander thought about it and told them that it was possible that the battle would end soon, and it didn't matter if they knew.
"What, Hu Hao is seriously injured!" Li Zongren and Chen Cheng stood up almost at the same time, and several other generals also looked at the commander in surprise, only Bai Chongxi was secretly happy in his heart, but when he heard that he had been rescued, he cursed his life so big, how could he not die!
The commander was so surprised to see a few of them, then nodded and continued: "Yes, the night before yesterday, we blocked the news, Hu Hao went to sneak attack the devil's headquarters, and found that the devil transported poison gas bombs to our defense line, all of which he was determined to get out of those gas bombs, the result was that he and a few soldiers were seriously injured, and the sneak attack devils died tens of thousands, and the commander of the devils, Ibe Noshin, was killed by Hu Hao in a daze!" ”
When the generals heard the commander's explanation, they all looked at each other.
"Hey, then it's going to be troublesome, and we can't tell what the devil has to do next!" Li Zongren sat down and said.
"What's this, won't the devil know when the time comes?" Bai Chongxi said nonchalantly.
"Nonsense, it's too late for us to know their purpose, just like this devil sneak attack, if it weren't for Hu Hao's reminder and Zuihou Hu Hao's blocking, our entire defense line might all collapse!" When a general of a relatively large grade heard Bai Chongxi say this, he immediately began to wait loudly for Bai Chongxi to retort.
"Okay, don't fight, you guys use your brains more, as the saying goes, three stinkers are worth one Zhuge Liang, you have so many experienced generals, I think, you have no problem!" The commander waved his head.
"Commander, I have a suggestion, I suggest that we immediately report the news to Yan'an, and see if there is any judgment on the Yan'an side, through their judgment, we may be able to analyze the movements of the devil, after all, Hu Hao is still relatively close to that side, and it may not be necessary to explain anything!" Li Zongren suddenly thought and said. (To be continued......)
