Section 71

"Do you have reinforcements?" The remnants of the Changguan on the south bank got the news of the battle situation ahead for the first time, and when they heard that the enemy's reinforcements suddenly appeared in the Liang Yuan, they immediately lost their usual composure, and looked very stunned, as the brigade commander, he obviously thought about many more things than ordinary people, and from this news alone, he thought of a lot of information.

The front of the Chinese army with its back to the Yellow River, basically without any supplies, after several troops lined up, although their road to the north was completely blocked, but the entire defense line is also very thin because of this, as long as a little is broken, the entire defense line will be useless, this situation also makes them although they are under siege, but not too afraid, because consistent experience clearly shows that under the same strength, the Chinese army is not their opponent at all.

However, in this case, the army of Liang Qiyuan actually received reinforcements? Troops falling from the sky? Or did they fly from across the Yellow River? With most of the north bank of the Yellow River under their control, this is unlikely! The only explanation is that the battle at Yang Yuanyuan has ended, and the army of China over there has been reinforced.

Thinking of this, his heart tightened, if the battle over there was over, what was the point of continuing to attack Liang Qiyuan? If we continue to fight, we will only increase the casualties.

Immediately, he thought of another possibility, if Liang Yuan's army already had the help of the defenders, would it be necessary for that branch to attract attention downstream? It is estimated that they still wish that the attacking troops rushed all the way into the village, so as to take the opportunity to weaken their strength more, is it that the reinforcements have just arrived, or do the people of China have other plans?

"Is there any news from Yang Yuanyuan?" The remnants of the long hall could no longer hide the worry in their hearts, and asked the chief of staff beside him.

Takeo Toyoda didn't dare to slack off and replied: "Your Excellency, a telegram just came over 5 minutes ago, urging reinforcements, the Chinese army has already broken through to Yang Yuanyuan, and there is a street battle going on, and Yang Qiyuan is about to be unable to hold it." ”

"Yang Qiyuan hasn't lost it yet?" The remnant of the long hall asked abnormally, and then seemed to realize that his identity should not say this, and immediately coughed and said, "How long can Yang Yuyuan be kept?" ”

Takeo Toyoda shook his head and muttered for a long time before he said: "At most, for half an hour, there has been a bloody battle for a day and a night, the fortifications are almost completely destroyed, and the loss of personnel has already exceeded half, so it is really impossible to support it." ”

"Half an hour." The remnants of the Changguan said this, and shook his head a little helplessly, with the enemy of Liang Qiyuan receiving reinforcements, can he take this place in half an hour? This kind of possibility is really not very likely, from last night to now, he can already feel that these troops in front of him are completely different from those he encountered before, that kind of brave and good fighting style, almost on par with them, fighting with such an enemy, the difference in strength and firepower is no longer the main factor, strategic and tactical luck, is the key point that can most affect the outcome of the battle.

However, what worries him the most is not Liang Qiyuan, the downstream army that he originally ignored makes him feel even more uneasy, is the Zhina people really just trying to attract their attention like before? The remnants of the Changguan didn't quite agree with this point of view, but the previous lesson was in front of him, and he didn't dare to make a decision based on his own imagination, in case something unexpected happened, not only would his efforts in the past few days be completely wasted, but his prestige in the army would also be greatly affected.

"Send a team downstream to keep an eye on the people crossing the river, if it is really pretended by the people as before, this person is enough to delay them." After thinking about it, the remnants of the long hall still made a more compromise arrangement, and made up their minds to sort out the situation in front of them first, and then think about more things.

Takeo Toyoda agreed, and turned his head to make arrangements, but he didn't make any moves, and a second lieutenant rushed to the side, looking extremely panicked, which made Takeo Toyoda frown, because he was afraid of making the brigade commander think about things, he simply stepped forward to stop the man, and took him aside seriously.

After only two or three sentences, Takeo Toyoda rushed to the side of the remnants of the long hall and said in horror: "Your Excellency, news has just come from the downstream that the main force of the Shina army has begun to establish a position on the riverside, and the main force is making a detour in the direction of Chundi Village!" ”

"Spring Causeway? Did the people of China cross the river? How many people are there? Didn't the division headquarters reserve mobile troops? Although the remnants of the long hall had expected it before, when they heard the news, they were still taken aback.

Takeo Toyoda heard this, but his face turned red, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "A regiment, a whole regiment, the mobile squad of the division headquarters can't stop the attack of the Zhi Na people at all, and even the scouts have been killed for most of the time, the Chi Na people are really a regiment crossing the river this time, and they are not people at all!" As he spoke, Takeo Toyoda gritted his teeth, the shame of being deceived made him feel ashamed of himself as the chief of staff.

"A regiment? Bastard, where did the people of China get so many troops? What the hell does the intelligence service do? The remnants of the Changguan were furious, a series of failures, and the situation of being controlled by others everywhere was the first time since he entered this continent, and the feeling of being led by the nose was something that had never happened again, and now it appeared on these enemies that he looked down on.

"Your Excellency, there is almost no defense in the area of the spring embankment and the river canal, and once it is taken, our flank and rear will be completely exposed to the guns of the Zhina, and it will be dangerous at that time." Takeo Toyoda looked at the remnants of the angry Changguan, and couldn't help but stiffen his head and said, the current situation is related to the safety of their brigade, and he can't care about it so much.

The remnants of the long hall didn't know the importance of the two villages in the back, but the current situation was in a mess, the Ono Shenliu on the north bank was still fighting, and Yang Yuan's troops were fighting in the streets.

After a moment of silence, the remnants of the long hall finally recovered from the heavy blow, the bloody battle continued, and the casualties of the army were still increasing, which made him, as a commander, have to spend all his energy to deal with the current situation, even if this battle is no longer possible for them to win, he must try his best to minimize the loss.

"Immediately abandon Yang Qiyuan, notify the artillery brigade, cover their retreat with two rounds of firepower, and if you can come back, you will have more strength! Tell Ono Shenliu not to entangle with the Shina people anymore, there is no point in Liang Qiyuan, and after the troops are withdrawn, they will immediately garrison along the riverbank and drag the Shina people here as much as possible. ”

Looking at the chief of staff who was following the order and arranging for people to carry it out, the remnants of the Changguan said categorically after saying a few words: "Gather all the troops and staff officers here, and immediately rush to the area of Chundi to garrison, we must hold off the Chinese army and give Ono-kun and the others enough time to withdraw." ”

In the face of such a precipitous situation, seeing that the brigade commander had made careful arrangements, Takeo Toyoda naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, turned around and went to assemble the team, in the case that even the staff officers of the headquarters needed to take their guns into battle, which in itself has already explained too many problems.

At the same time, on a wooded hillside, a middle-aged officer with a straw hat woven from branches and leaves on his head is holding a telescope with a breezy face and looking into the distance.

In such a place of beautiful mountain scenery, there are hundreds of murderous soldiers of the national army, they are covered in blood, their helmets and military uniforms are broken and tattered, at a glance you know that they have fought hard, at a glance you know that they have come from a long journey, but such hundreds of soldiers with loaded bullets did not make any sound, the whole mountain is quiet as if no one exists, it seems very incredible.

After a long time, a very low voice finally said: "Brother Zhonglin, let's talk about it this time, this time we have to lead the team first." ”

The officer with the binoculars couldn't help but put down his hand when he heard this, and said with a smile on his calm face: "What, are you afraid that I will steal your limelight?" Without the obstruction of the telescope, the officer's handsome face with resolute lines like a knife and an axe suddenly appeared in the sight of others, who else was Zhang Lingfu, the colonel of the 305th Regiment?

"I don't care if it's in the limelight or not, but after holding it for so long, I finally encountered a hearty battle, and I don't want to be empty-handed like before." This person is the lieutenant colonel of the 305th Regiment attached to Chang Xiaode, in the 305th Regiment, only he, an old classmate who is the same as Zhang Lingfu in the fourth phase of Huangpu, will be so affectionately called.

"If Xiaode hears this, he will be unhappy, according to what you say, the first few battles will not be happy?" Zhang Lingfu said with a chuckle.

Chang Xiaode immediately said disdainfully: "Happy? What kind of battle can a person who can only prostitute and gamble feat? If it weren't for his seniority, such a person could also become a brigade commander? ”

"Shhhh......h Let's not talk about this for now, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after this battle. ”
