Chapter 425: I care about you? No, I just don't want to die
Zhou Weiguo, Xu Hu and Zhao Shoutian arrived at the military headquarters in less than half an hour.
Seeing that the commander was discussing something with several senior staff officers, he walked over and saluted; "Report, the commander of the independent regiment..."
Yu Huohuo stood up and said, "Damn it, why are you giving me this empty talk? Come here quickly."
Zhou Weiguo said "oh" with tears in his eyes and came to Yu Huohuo.
Chief of Staff Feng glanced at him and smiled, then spoke; "The Japanese troops on our side have stopped attacking and switched to defense. Also, we just received news that the Chahar Detachment of the Kwantung Army, which was originally fighting on our side, has also been transferred. In front of us is Okamura Yasuji's 14th Division, and the Chahar Detachment is advancing westward, threatening the left side of our battle zone."
Zhou Weiguo moved along the command pole of Chief of Staff Feng. When he saw him stop moving, Zhou Weiguo looked up and asked, "Commander, do you want us to intercept?"
Yu Huohuo gritted his teeth and tried to endure something. Finally, he let out a breath, raised his foot and kicked Zhou Weiguo in the butt.
"Damn it, the Chahar Detachment has expanded its forces. It is nominally a brigade, but it has expanded a cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment. How many people are there in your independent regiment? You want to intercept them? Are you crazy, or do I not take you seriously?"
Unless he asked another division to help, the problem was that he didn't dare to move his troops. His corps consisted of the 74th Army, the 71st Army, one army, three armies of the Northwest Army, and a cavalry division. The Japanese army had been attacking continuously during this period, and the losses were already heavy. Now the Japanese army was holding them back. If he moved, the 14th Division would come and press forward.
"Then why do you want me to come here?" Zhou Weiguo touched his buttocks, he was a little confused. Since he was not allowed to intercept, did he want to attack?
"Can we attack?" Yu Huohuo knocked on the table.
attack?
Really let me attack. I'm good at ambushing and taking advantage of the situation, and the independent regiment is also good at it, but if I attack when the opponent is on full defense, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with.
Yu Huohuo pointed at the map; "We don't know yet why Okamura Neiji switched to offense, but he switched to defense. If we don't attack, I'm afraid the rest of the troops will suppress Commander Xue. If their defense line is breached, the north of Xuzhou may be outnumbered, and my theater will continue to evacuate southward."
If we retreat further south, the situation will be very unfavorable to the entire Wuhan. The enemy is likely to really withdraw the Kwantung Army to enter the pass and then launch a full-scale attack, so that the two armies will meet in Wuhan, this is what Commander Bai told himself.
Therefore, the current task of the corps on the right side is to counterattack while being contained by the enemy, forcing General Okamura Yasuji to withdraw troops and reduce the pressure on the corps on the left side.
"I'm afraid the burden will fall on you. The other units have suffered a lot of losses. I will let the 71st Army cooperate with you in the battle." Yu Huohuo looked up and asked.
Now that things have come to this, what else can I say?
Zhou Weiguo hummed, "I promise to complete the task, but Commander, this time, I have a suggestion."
Kaifeng, 14th Division Headquarters, Yamadajima received the telegram from the aerial reconnaissance plane and immediately came to Okamura Neiji; "Okamura-kun, the reconnaissance plane reports that the enemy's independent regiment is advancing towards area No. ."
Area No. 53. Okamura Neiji took a look and saw that the rd Regiment was stationed there and had started building fortifications two days ago.
"Sending the independent regiment, it seems their purpose is to attack and force me to withdraw the Chahar detachment back." After making a judgment, Okamura Neiji turned his head and asked Tanakajima; "What else is going on?"
"A division of the 71st Army is also moving to Area 74. At the same time, the 51st Division of the 59th Army is entering Area 74, and the th Army is moving to the right of the th Army as a reserve."
"Where is the independent regiment's tank battalion?" Okamura Neiji asked with his arms folded. The terrain here allows these tanks to move very quickly.
"Follow the independent regiment." Yamadajima said the situation and took a step forward; "Do we need to send the air force to bomb the independent regiment?"
This force poses a great threat.
bombing?
Okamura Neiji shook his head slightly; "No, we can't bomb them, just let them come over. In addition, mobilize the division's direct tank convoy and cavalry battalion to go to area No. 55, and the division's direct heavy artillery will also quickly go there. Dispatch a battalion from the th Regiment and send it to area No. , commanded by the Kamii Regiment. Tell them that there is no need to attack, just defend. As long as we block their attack, we will win.
Yamadajima recorded the order, but there was one thing he didn't understand. The independent regiment was quite powerful and if they appeared on the front line, they would cause great destructive power.
"Mr. Okamura, I don't understand why you don't send out air force to bomb it." Yamadajima was very confused.
Okamura Neiji looked at the sand table and saw that the staff officer had already planted the flag representing the independent regiment in area No. 3. He then laughed and said, "You really don't understand."
Boom boom boom … Boom boom boom …
The tanks, covered with branches as cover and hung with soldiers from the independent regiment, advanced forward in a mighty manner. From time to time, a truck was stuffed in between the tanks. The truck was equipped with a twin-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun and a field artillery was towed behind it.
On both sides of the road, the marching troops were from the independent regiment, while the motorcycle team was walking in the middle.
Henan is a vast plain. Zhou Weiguo stood in an abandoned threshing ground, accompanied by members of the independent regiment, and smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the passing troops.
Asaka Hidei chewed some candy, glanced at the tank passing by, and walked over to the motorcycle parked nearby out of boredom, sitting on it and staring blankly.
"You are really not afraid of death." Minamizō Akiko, who was handcuffed but dressed in the uniform of an independent regiment soldier, glanced at the guards standing around her and then came to Asaka Hiderei and asked.
Chao Xiang Xiuling glanced at her old classmate, then took out the candy and handed it to her, asking in confusion, "Why do you say that?"
Minamizō Akiko looked at the soldiers passing by, then pointed to the sky; "The weather conditions are convenient for the aviation forces to be dispatched. You..."
"We." Asaka Hiderei interrupted Minamizō Akiko and pointed at the military uniform she was wearing. "It's us, not you. Don't talk nonsense."
Humph……
Minamizō Akiko didn't bother with these useless arguments. Just by putting on this military uniform, would she betray the empire? What was this man thinking?
"Whatever you say, that's what it is." Nanzao Mingzi rolled her eyes and looked at Zhou Weiguo and the others standing not far away: "Let your man take me to the back and lock me up."
Lock you up in the back? Chao Xiang Xiu Ling said with a click of her tongue, "You are not still thinking of locking you up in the back and waiting for your sister to rescue you."
Minamizo Akiko shook her head. "No, I just don't want to be left with nothing."
