Chapter 751
Yingshan County.
The commander of the Sixth Division, Shiro Inaba, walked quickly to Okamura Yasuji.
"Master Commander, have a drink of water." After Inaba Shiro said that, he handed over a kettle.
"Inaba, thank you." Okamura Yasuji took the kettle, raised his head and sucked a big mouthful.
From Anqing to Yingshan Prefecture, the mountain road was more than 200 miles long, and it was all completed in less than two days and nights. It was not only a test for the officers and soldiers of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, but also a huge test for Okamura Yasuji. No matter what, this old Japanese man is already in his fifties and is no better than a young man.
Taking advantage of Okamura's drinking water, Shiro Inaba turned around and looked at Yingshan Prefecture.
But I saw that the entire Yingshan Prefecture had fallen into a raging fire, and this was a war. Although Okamura Yasuji had ordered that the fire was not allowed, once the battle started, the officers and soldiers below could not take care of so many things. They would still kill people when they should, and still set fire when they should set fire.
However, the attack on Yingshan County only used a brigade.
The main force of the entire Sixth Division did not stop because of this.
Looking back, looking at the infantry formations walking forward in two columns under the night sky, Inaba Shiro said: "Teacher Commander, the troops have been marching for two days and nights in a row, and are already very tired. Otherwise, they would have rested in Eingshan for one night?"
"No." Okamura Yasuji shook his head and said in a faint voice, "Rescue soldiers are like putting out fires. If we rest for a moment here, the 27th Division will be more dangerous in Changhewan!"
"But." Inaba Shiro frowned and said, "Eeshan is less than a hundred miles away from the Changhewan. If you continue to move forward, especially when you move forward at night at a forced speed, you will easily be ambushed by the Chinese army. In addition, there are mostly canyons in the mountains. If you are not careful, we may repeat the mistakes of the 22nd Division!"
"Then you have to keep going!" Okamura Nagaki waved his hand and continued, "Inaba Jun, you are not only the commander of the 6th Division, but also the general of the empire. Therefore, when considering the problem, you cannot only consider the safety of the 6th Division, but also the interests of the entire Imperial Army and even the entire Japanese Empire!"
"Hayi!" Inaba Shiro paused his head slightly and said no more.
Okamura Yasuji said again: "What's more, even if the Sixth Division was ambushed by the Chinese army, the Chinese army would probably not have enough time to eat us, because the six guard divisions starting from the mall, Mitsuyama and Dazua should not be far from Changhewan at this moment."
"Hayi!" Inaba Shiro.
...
In Macheng, the war zone chief department.
A communication soldier hurried in and handed a telegram to Zhong Yi.
After reading the telegram, Zhong Yi's face immediately collapsed and was extremely gloomy.
Bai Chongbei, Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying and others who were standing next to him couldn't help but feel a stern heart.
After calming down, Bai Chongbei stepped forward and asked, "Zi Ren, is something wrong?"
"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded, handing the telegram in his hand to Bai Chongge, and said, "Okamura Yanji, an old devil, sang a wonderful plank road openly and crossed Chencang secretly! The main force of the 11th Army confronted General Liao Lei's 21st Army on the Huang'an line, but he himself led the 6th Division to suddenly appear in Yingshan County!"
"What? Yingshan County?!"
"Fuck, the old Japanese are so sinister!"
"It's broken! It's so troublesome now!"
"Yingshan County and Changhewan are less than a hundred miles away, and less than two hundred miles away from Macheng!"
Hearing this, Li Pinxian, Yu Jishi, Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo and others immediately changed their faces.
After reading the telegram, Bai Chongbei's face collapsed instantly and became darker than the bottom of the pot.
The most annoying thing about fighting is the current situation. Everything is going well just now, Jizhu is holding it, but in the blink of an eye, the opponent gives you a surprise, and you are caught off guard!
After pondering for a moment, Bai Chong gritted his teeth and said, "Zi Ren, otherwise he would leave a group army in Changhewan first, transfer the rest of the troops to the direction of Yingshan Prefecture, find a suitable ambush point in the middle, repeat the same trick, and also give the 6th Division a fire attack? If it is done well, maybe there is a chance to kill this old Japanese devil, Okamura, Nishiji!"
When he heard this, Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying and others immediately became active again.
"Yes, why did I forget that Okamura Niji only brought one Sixth Division?"
"Yes, the 22nd Division and the 27th Division are combined together, so we still let us beat the water. The 6th Division is afraid of him!"
"I didn't say anything, fuck it!"
"Let me see where is the place from Yingshan to Changhewan suitable for fire attack."
"No, in my opinion, this old Japanese devil, Okamura, may not go directly to Changhewan, but will probably come directly to Macheng where our superiors are located, and it will be even more powerful to surround Wei and save Zhao!"
"Agree, I also think I should find a suitable terrain on the way from Yingshan County to Macheng!"
"Everyone, come and see, how is this place like? This canyon between Bijia Rock and Gaopeng Mountain is suitable for fire attack!"
A group of senior generals had a lot of fun in their discussions.
Obviously, these senior generals were inspired by the complete annihilation of the 22nd Japanese Division, so they became full of confidence again, as if they could destroy the Sixth Division with just one hand.
Bai Chongbei was also a little moved and asked Zhong Yi: "Zi Ren, how about it?"
Zhong Yi said: "Commander-in-Chief, do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"What are you saying?" Bai Chong said sadly, "How could I want to hear lies?"
"Okay." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "To be honest, we have no time anymore."
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "If we don't consider other factors, if our opponents are just the 27th Division who is surviving and the 6th Division who is coming to assist, then as the commanders said, as long as we clearly judge Okamura's intentions and find a suitable terrain, it should not be too difficult to annihilate the Sixth Division, but..."
After another salute, Zhong Yi said: "I'm sorry, our opponents are not only the 27th Division and the 6th Division, but also more than a dozen divisions of the 11th Army and the 12th Army! After we finally got rid of the 27th Division and the 6th Division, more than a dozen divisions of the Japanese army also completed the encirclement of us."
Bai Chong said sadly: "What do you mean is to move quickly while the Sixth Division has not arrived yet?"
"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded, "If you don't retreat now, it will probably be too late."
"Oh, the effort failed." Bai Chong sighed sadly, "After all, the effort failed!"
Chapter completed!
