Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

Facing Sugiyama Yuan's words, Yamashita Fengwen smiled wryly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Ninth Brigade sticks to Guisui, and may be able to hold on for a while. But our reinforcements may take a long time to arrive.

Now that Baotou Airport has been destroyed, even if we implement airdrops, it will be difficult.If there is no food, the defenders in the two cities may not last long.Retreating now is more about preserving strength.

As long as the Ninth Brigade can successfully withdraw from Ulanqab, then for us, the defense of the Mongolian East and Chahar regions can also be preserved.The current situation in the Zhangjiakou area is also very unstable.

Even if the Kwantung Army can be invited to go south for rescue, it may take a long time to arrive in this kind of weather.Instead of letting the army travel long distances, it is better to wait for the weather to improve, and we gather the army to sweep across the way.

Since we were able to take down Suiyuan once, I believe there will be a second time.Even in the next battle, we will severely damage this damn Eighth Route Army, and avenge the shame of our North China Front Army soldiers! "

Yamashita, who said this, actually knew that it was just an excuse.But the problem is, he has to say such an excuse.Only when such an excuse is given, Sugiyama Moto will feel that there is a step down.

Just as he expected, Sugiyama Yuan, as the commander, didn't know that Suiyuan's persistence would lead to death.Preserving strength is what the North China Front Army has to do at present.After all, their current strength is indeed too tense.

If you can save a brigade, what's the point of losing a Suiyuan?If you lose another brigade, it will be a real loss! (To be continued.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After cutting off the only road from Zhangjiakou to Suiyuan, the attack force with the reconnaissance brigade as the main force began to sweep across the entire Suiyuan area. △Apex Novels, the troops who arrived at the planned attack position ahead of time, launched an offensive that shocked the defenders everywhere.

Even if the North China Front Army knew very well that it would be somewhat embarrassing to retreat without a fight under such circumstances.But after a military meeting, the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Guisui still received an order to retreat to eastern Mongolia.

As for the independent garrison that was previously assigned to them as Suiyuan's security guard, they did not receive such an order.The only ones who are really qualified to leave are the direct line troops of the North China Front Army, and the puppet troops are not among the retreating troops.

Looking at the instructions sent by the North China Front Army, the commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese Army Takimoto Ichima said with a bit of unwilling expression: "Baga, how can the headquarters let us retreat? In this case, it is not to hand over Suiyuan To the Chinese Army?"

For Kazuma Takimoto, when he originally came to Suiyuan, he wanted to take over the post of head of the No.20 Sixth Division that was destroyed.Unfortunately, when they came to support Suiyuan, they failed to cause any losses to the Eighth Route Army.

In short, they finally regained Guisui and Baotou, and more were given to them by the Eighth Route Army.Under such circumstances, Takimoto Ichima, who had no merit, only got the post of Suiyuan garrison officer, and was still a major general.

This time the independent column launched the Suiyuan offensive again. For Takimoto Kazuma, he thought it was a good opportunity.However, judging from the current situation, Takimoto Kazuma also knew that it would be difficult for his Ninth Brigade to defend Guisui.

But no matter what, you can't retreat automatically before fighting, right?Isn't this too embarrassing?

Faced with Takimoto's reluctance, the captain under him quickly said: "General, according to the instructions of the front army, we are not retreating. Compared with the importance of the Ulanqab area, it can bring more benefits to the empire. The benefits are not many.

From our stationing here to the present, the Pingsui Railway has not been repaired.The former Eighth Route Army had done too much damage to this area. To restore the economy here, I am afraid that the empire will need to invest more resources.

In contrast, the current empire's interests in the Ulanqab region are more important.And the withdrawal of our brigade there can also form a certain side effect on Zhangjiakou.As for this, what's the harm in letting it go to the Chinese army for the time being?

I believe that when the main divisions of the front army return, they will not be able to hold this place at all.We will even be able to use this as a starting point in the future to attack Shaanxi, the core base of the Eighth Route Army.Now, it is still important to preserve strength! "

Saying such a series of words is nothing more than finding a reason to retreat.In any case, the demise of the No. 20 Sixth Division of the previous series did bring a lot of psychological pressure to those troops stationed in Suiyuan who followed up.

Because, even the No.20 Sixth Division, it is difficult to stick to Suiyuan. Can they really stick to it with only one brigade?If even they are willing to do this, the situation in Northwest Shanxi will become even more severe.

Just when many officers of the Ninth Brigade were unwilling to retreat, a telegraph operator said with a slightly flustered expression: "Report!"

Looking at the telegraph operator's expression, Takimoto said directly, "Talk!"

"The fifth garrison brigade stationed at Helinger sent a farewell telegram earlier, and all the infantry brigades stationed there were smashed!" '

Such a telegram made Takimoto Kazuma very surprised and said: "Baga, how long has it been since the county town defended by our infantry brigade has fallen? The attacking strength of these Chinese troops is really so Is it strong?"

It's just such a problem, even the captain under him can't give it.But many people know that after Helinger was recovered, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was not far away from Guisui City where they were stationed.

If they don't retreat again, it is estimated that they are very likely to be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army encircled by three routes.In this case, even Kazuma Takimoto knew that there was no longer any hesitation, and he had to retreat immediately!

After receiving the farewell telegram from the telegraph operator, Takimoto could only close the telegram no matter how unwilling he was, and said: "Except for the independent guard to stick to the defense area, the infantry regiments of the other brigades and regiments will immediately prepare combat supplies. .

Be sure to prepare all the combat supplies before departure tomorrow morning.Taking the cavalry squadron of the brigade as the vanguard, the various ministries moved towards Ulanqab.Starting tonight, the two cities of Guihua and Guisui will implement a full curfew, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. "

'Hi! '

Even if it was a retreat, Kazuma Takimoto didn't want to say the word withdraw.For him, withdrawing to Ulanqab will also be an indelible shame for the Ninth Brigade. Withdrawing to Ulanqab, he prefers to call it a battle.

With the Ninth Brigade stationed in the two cities of Naturalization and Guisui, they began to step up production of dry food, pack up weapons and ammunition, and prepare to evacuate.The underground party lurking in the city undoubtedly discovered the clue soon.

'Aren't the people who usually guard the city gates all little devils?Why are they all replaced by the second devil? '

At a secret contact station, a shopkeeper who seemed to be doing business was chatting with customers about these words, and from time to time he looked at the city defense troops who were rapidly changing defenses at the moment.This situation looks obviously a little wrong.

'It seems that the little devil probably wants to withdraw.Previously, all the carriages in the shopkeeper Niu's carriage and horse shop were confiscated by the little devil.At this time, what do they want to do if they don't stick to the city and collect chariots and horses? '

'Then what to do?The main force must be notified as soon as possible! '

'Wait first!Didn't you hear what those two devils said earlier?In order to ensure the safety of the city, is martial law enforced throughout the city?Go back quickly, and I will contact you again when there is a situation.It's not that easy for the little devil to run away. '

'Okay, then I'll go first! '

After a brief contact, the members of the underground party who came to pick them up soon returned to their residences.And then the Japanese barracks in the two cities of Guihua and Guisui also looked busy.

The intelligence agents lurking in the puppet army also quickly sent the situation that the little devil will withdraw tonight or tomorrow morning.I understand that it will take some time for the main force to arrive.But this information must be sent to the main force as soon as possible.

In the middle of the night, outside the quiet city of Guihua, on an inconspicuous small slope, a figure suddenly appeared.The other party observed the surrounding situation like a groundhog, and only fled away when he found that there was no problem.

Not long after, the lifted top cover was sealed again, and the people in common people's clothes quickly ran outside Guihua City.Even if the sight outside is not very good at this moment, and it is freezing cold, the people who came out are still running desperately.

Until the person came to a village closest to Guihua City, and soon knocked on the home of a commoner at the entrance of the village.Not long after, the people inside asked a few words, and then let the people into the room.

'Quick, send a message to the guerrilla brigade, the little devil may want to escape.They are packing up their things and they will leave tomorrow morning at the latest.This news must be notified to the main force as soon as possible, so that the main force can prepare early. '

'Okay, hard work!You message here now, I'll send a message now! '

This is also a point of contact for the intelligence station, after sending out messages in a timely manner.The man of this family soon carried a rifle made in Hanyang on his back, rode a horse raised in a stable, and went out of the village overnight to report to the guerrilla brigade station.

In the early hours of the morning, this telegram appeared on He Zhengdao's desk.Knowing this situation, He Zhengdao was also very surprised and said: "Well, it seems that the little devil still has smart people! Isn't it too late to withdraw at this time?"

He Zhengdao, who was still in Youyu to command the battle, was somewhat surprised that the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese army stationed in Suiyuan chose to retreat.But he knew that the little devil had made a wise decision.It is undoubtedly a smart move to avoid the edge for the time being.

On the other hand, Wang Tianlin, the chief of staff who was also called to the headquarters, said: "Commander, if the little devil chooses to retreat, he probably has to retreat to the east of Mengdong. According to the report of the First Cavalry Division, two pseudo-Mongolian cavalry divisions are moving there! "

'I think these two cavalry divisions should be supporting the Ninth Brigade.However, judging from the current situation, the Japanese army probably only wants to withdraw the Ninth Brigade.As for the garrison stationed in Suiyuan, it is estimated that they want to delay our attack.

Generate electricity for the First Cavalry Division, and at all costs, defeat the two pseudo-Mongolian cavalry divisions coming from East Mongolia.With the combat effectiveness of the first cavalry division, I believe that it will not be too difficult to deal with the two pseudo Mongolian cavalry divisions.Don't ask for kill numbers, just crush them.

Order the Daqingshan garrison brigade to send out their cavalry regiment and rush to Guisui as quickly as possible.In addition, a regiment of the reconnaissance brigade deployed defenses on the front line of the Chazhong Zuo Banner to block the Japanese Ninth Brigade retreating eastward.

At the same time, all the cavalry units of the reconnaissance brigade were sent to the Guisui area to delay the march of the Japanese army.The telegrams ordered all ministries to wait for the Ninth Brigade to leave the city before launching corresponding blocking and setting up ambushes.If you want to escape, there is no door! '

In He Zhengdao's view, even if the Ninth Brigade suddenly chose to retreat, it would somewhat disrupt the offensive deployment of the independent column.But he also knew that the battle to regain Suiyuan this time was more about destroying the Japanese troops stationed in Suiyuan.

Even in Suiyuan, there is only one Japanese infantry brigade.But in He Zhengdao's view, accumulating urine can become a lot.Even if you pay some price, as long as Suiyuan is recovered, I believe that the loss of the independent column will be recovered soon.

Correspondingly, if the little devil loses this independent infantry brigade, he will probably feel a lot of pain.The fight against those puppet troops can be temporarily put aside.The most urgent task is to eliminate the main force of the Japanese army.

Following He Zhengdao's order, the troops that were advancing in an unsteady manner first assembled the cavalry troops of the troops.As long as the infantry could ride horses, they were all summoned immediately and sent into the Guisui area.

As for the remaining Japanese independent garrison, when the Ninth Brigade of the Japanese Army who was about to escape was wiped out, they were also a piece of meat on the cutting board of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army had the final say on how to deal with them at that time!
