Chapter 274 The Shocking Secret That Had to Be Tactfully Revealed
Not long ago, he lost contact with the 27th Brigade. He reported to Doi-Yuan that the 27th Brigade was in pursuit, the radio was silent, and he had no time to reply.
At that time, he felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Now, the fat man's words reminded him.
Doiyuan, Sakatan and even the commander of the 27th Brigade all have the same character, that is, if they have something good, they can't wait to show it off.
Defeating the enemy's 20,000-strong blockade and breaking through the enemy's position was definitely something that Guan Yu could boast about. He would not hesitate to show off.
The answer is undoubtedly yes.
Silent radio, would he? Definitely not.
But I couldn't get in touch with him, and he didn't send me any messages, so there was probably only one answer.
The 27th Brigade Headquarters was probably destroyed by the enemy.
Tadayoshi Sano, who was running out, bumped into someone head-on. The strength of both of them was so great that they both groaned.
"Baka." Sato grimaced in pain and wanted to slap the blind man in front of him away.
But as soon as he raised his hand, the man quickly handed over a telegram: "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, the 59th Regiment sent an urgent telegram. The enemy...the enemy's independent regiment defeated the 2nd Regiment. The brigade headquarters and the regiment headquarters were destroyed by the enemy. Now the enemy has defeated our rear guard and is advancing in the direction of the division. Request a quick evacuation."
Weng...
Sano Tadayoshi took the message with trembling hands. His lips were so dry that he didn't know how to report it.
"What did you say? Say it again." The fat man's voice sounded from behind. He heard it in the room just now.
His 27th Brigade Headquarters was gone. This... was this a joke on him?
Didn't they tell me a few hours ago that they had defeated the Independent Regiment? Why did I receive such a telegram now?
He walked a few steps to Sano Tadayoshi, grabbed the telegram, read it, and then tore it into pieces, shouting, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible."
After looking at the shredded telegram on the ground, Tadayoshi Sano took a deep breath and said, "But we can no longer contact the 27th Brigade. We have been unable to contact them for more than an hour."
"That's because they're chasing us, that's because their radio stations are silent, that's because..."
"But, Doi-kun, you have never been a person who knows how to keep a low profile."
Fatty, I don't know what to say.
Coincidentally, another telegram was delivered: "Your Excellency the division commander, the air force sent a message that the enemy has about 30,000 troops, divided into two groups, and is rushing towards us. In addition, a brigade in Yifeng is also moving here."
"Bakayarō, what is going on? What is going on? Why was the 27th Brigade defeated? Can anyone tell me?"
"Now is not the time to investigate this matter. The enemy has defeated our 27th Brigade. Our division's goal of joining Lanfeng to attract them has been lost. Your Excellency, Division Commander, it seems that we need to readjust our deployment. We need to let the 28th Brigade break out quickly.
Don't let that division get trapped in Lanfeng, or they won't be able to get out. We should break out quickly before the enemy encircles us.
Do Feiyuan came to the war room with shaking hands. The whole war room was silent. Everyone looked at Do Feiyuan who came in. Do Feiyuan looked at the people present, and he came to the war sand table. On the sand table, the logo of the 74th Army Independent Regiment was arrogantly inserted on the map.
This sign, invisibly, slapped Tu Feiyuan hard in the face. Not long ago, he took this sign out of the sand table himself, then threw it on the ground and stepped on it, but now, the shoe prints on it kicked him directly in the face.
"Send a telegram to the 28th Brigade, retreat to Lanfeng County, and break out in the direction of the enemy's 27th Army at noon tomorrow. Report to the Central China Front Command, request air force reinforcements to assist in the breakout, and send air force air strikes on the enemy's independent regiment and other units to buy time for our deployment. Send another telegram to the Sakai Detachment, requesting them to speed up and come to join our army."
Air force, as long as the aviation is dispatched, I still have a chance.
Bang bang bang... bang bang bang...
On the road leading to the 14th Division's location, the anti-aircraft machine guns on the trucks moved quickly to avoid bombs, while also trying their best to intercept the Japanese bombers' sneak attacks.
On a high ground, five or six Czech heavy machine guns were manned by two people in a group, with one person holding the front bracket and the other aiming at the Japanese bombers and shooting.
Tutu... Tutu... Tutu...
Zhou Weiguo personally operated the medium and light machine gun and fired into the air.
"Weiguo, Weiguo." Fang Shengli trotted over to Zhou Weiguo and waved the message in his hand: "Urgent message from the military."
Zhou Weiguo handed the machine gun to the machine gunner next to him, spat on the ground viciously and pointed it into the air; "Hit them hard for me. If you take down one of them, I'll see if you dare to come again."
After saying this, Zhou Weiguo took the telegram and asked, "What's the content?"
"The Lixing Society forwarded a message that the enemy's Sakai Detachment's main force has been dispatched and is moving towards the 14th Division. The military headquarters sent a message saying that if it is impossible to pursue the 14th Division, you can move closer to the military headquarters as appropriate."
"I don't trust them. They don't have many troops right now. If we don't chase them now, when will we chase them? The farther we go, the less control they have over the Lanfeng 28th Brigade. I don't trust them. I'm going to go over and kill them."
Fang Shengli looked at the bombers in the sky, and then at the troops hiding from the Japanese bombing. "Lao Zhou, damn it, we have walked less than ten kilometers and the enemy has bombed us twice, and we are still more than thirty kilometers away from there. If they keep doing this, how can we get through? Also, the Sakai detachment has come down. If it really doesn't work, let's just give up."
Give up, give up, something might happen at Huayuankou.
I can't ensure that Huayuankou is intact, so I can only fight hard, even if I kill all the independent regiments, I have to defeat the enemy. If I can't defeat them, I have to drive them out. Otherwise, the crisis at Huayuankou will not be eliminated.
"We can't give up." Zhou Weiguo said gritting his teeth.
Fang Shengli couldn't persuade him, so he could only look at Xiao Ya beside him; "Please try to persuade him, I don't understand why he is so stubborn this time."
Xiao Ya came over to Zhou Weiguo from the radio station and said, "Awen, there must be a reason why you did this."
Xiao Ya believes that her Awen will never act impulsively.
A pair of eyes that comforted and inquired made Zhou Weiguo suppress the anger in his heart and signaled Zhao Shoutian to spread the map in a hidden place.
Several people gathered around. Zhou Weiguo pointed to the map and said, "The Longhai Line is related to the safety of Kaifeng. Once Kaifeng is occupied by the Japanese, they will quickly move south. Our First War Zone has limited manpower and the terrain is not advantageous. In addition, there is no manpower in southern Henan. How can we stop their attack? If we can't stop it."
Zhou Weiguo simply used his fingers to move directly to the north of Wuhan.
Wuhan, dangerous.
Can't stop it. Fang Shengli smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid it can't be stopped."
Xiao Ye, who had been silent the whole time, narrowed his eyes and pointed at the map; "No, we can stop it, but the cost is too high."
