"Yawn, yawn~щww~~lā" Xu Rui suddenly sneezed three times in a row.
Digua held a stack of telegrams and asked in a low voice: "Captain, do you want to continue reading?"
"I stopped reading after I read it. They are all the same anyway." Xu Rui touched his nose and said, "Look, who else sent a telegram to our independent group?"
"That's a lot. Who did I read just now? Let me take a look." Digua turned over the telegrams one by one and said, "This is from the head of the headquarters, this is from the head of the military region, and this is from the military region." The telegram from the division chief, oh yes, and the telegram from the chief of the 120th Division, I have just read these."
After a pause, Digua continued: "This is a telegram from Commander Wei, Commander-in-Chief of the South Route Army, and this is a telegram from Commander-in-Chief Fu, Commander-in-Chief of the North Route Army. Yes, yes, yes, and there is also a telegram from Commander Yan of the World War II Zone."
"Sir Yan?" Xu Rui smiled and said, "Look what Yan Laoxi said?"
"Let me take a look." Digua agreed and immediately unfolded the telegram. After reading it, he said with a smile, "Commander, Yan Laoxi didn't say anything. He just congratulated us for launching an active offensive."
"Yan Laoxi is really well-deserved. It's already come to this point, and he's still on both sides of the fence. He still wants to send such a telegram to find out what I'm doing." Xu Rui shook his head and continued, "Let the Communications Department reply to Yan immediately. Lao Xi, just said, there is no store like this after passing this village, so if you want to reap the benefits, you must do it early."
Digua agreed, turned around and ran to the communications office.
Mei Jiuling shook his head and said: "I'm afraid Yan Laoxi doesn't dare to send troops. He scares the little devils."
"Then you should underestimate Yan Laoxi." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "This old guy is very smart. He sent a few regiments from the Sixth Army to test it out. He still dared to do it. Although several regiments of the Shanxi-Sui Army It cannot play a big role, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and it will be a help to the Shanxi battlefield and even the entire North China battlefield."
While the two were talking, Di Gua came running back from the communication office.
"Captain, there's good news!" Digua couldn't wait to shout from a few dozen meters away, "The Second Battalion launched a counterattack in front of Zijin Pass and destroyed the little Japanese's baggage position. Now we're coming from Baoda Highway. The Japanese soldiers’ morale has been shaken, and the second battalion is surrounding the little Japanese soldiers and attacking fiercely. The Japanese soldiers are about to be defeated!”
"What, the Japanese are about to be defeated!" Xu Rui waved his fist in a rare gesture and shouted, "Well done!"
Xu Rui naturally knew what kind of situation the Second Battalion was facing at Zijingguan. To be honest, Xu Rui's biggest expectation for He Shuya was to be able to hold Zijingguan until the main force of the regiment arrived. However, he never expected that He Shuya would However, they unexpectedly turned from defense to attack, and defeated tens of thousands of Japanese who swooped down along the Baoda Highway!
This is really beyond Xu Rui's expectation. Even if he were to direct it personally, it would not be better than this!
Next to me, Mei Jiuling also hit the knot hard, and said excitedly: "This is okay, Shuya is really good!"
"No!" Xu Rui calmed down in an instant and said solemnly, "The battle situation at Zijingguan has taken a turn for the worse. Anan Weiji, an old devil, will definitely do whatever it takes to dispatch all the fighter jets and attack planes of the North China Front to help frantically. Call him immediately. The flying brigade takes turns in squadron units and provides air support to the second battalion as much as possible!"
"Understood!" Digua agreed, then turned around and ran away again.
…
In Peking, North China Front Army Headquarters.
Ever since the Chahar Independent Regiment's blitzkrieg officially started, Anami Weiji has been staying in the war room and never left for a moment. Even though his eyes were already red, even if Kasahara Yukio and Ichigan's combat staff repeatedly advised him, The old devil was unmoved at all. How could he rest at this juncture
The old Japanese stared at the map of North China in front of him with bloodshot eyes.
But I saw that the entire map had been drawn by the combat staff with hundreds of blue arrows. Each blue arrow here represented a squadron with at least a regiment-level organization, and some were even division-level or corps-level. Super-level organizations, such as the blue arrow pointing from the direction of the Ulanqab League, is Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army!
Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army was really fierce. They captured the Ulanqab League in half a day!
Not only Ulanqab, but also various areas such as Chanan, northwest Shanxi, southeastern Shanxi, central Hebei, eastern Hebei and even Shandong are marked with blue arrows. Looking around, the entire defense area of the North China Front has been blocked. The flames of war were full, and almost all the squadrons took action. Like sharks that smelled blood, they gathered from all directions, ready and waiting to eat the flesh and blood of the North China Front!
Regardless of the total strength of the North China Front, even though more than a dozen elite infantry regiments have been removed, there are still more than 300,000 field troops. If you include the garrison, there are more than 40 troops. Ten thousand people, but when divided among nearly a thousand counties in the five provinces of North China, it immediately becomes stretched.
Even though there were more than 200,000 imperial troops assisting in the battle, they were still alone.
Japanese commanders on almost every battlefield sent telegrams to Peiping, requesting reinforcements!
However, at this time, how could Ananwei send reinforcements to them? Nothing!
Therefore, the only thing Anan Weiji can do is to order the Japanese commanders in various battlefields to shrink their forces and concentrate on defending a few large cities and important strongholds along the railway lines. As for those small cities that are not very important, or more remote counties, they are now I can only bear the pain and give up. No matter what, let's get through this disaster first.
Anan Weiji's eyes turned around on the map, and finally returned to Zijin Pass.
"Kasahara-kun, how is the progress at Zijin Pass?" Anami asked with a frown, "Half an hour ago, Minamoto no Yoshi-kun sent a telegram, saying that he had broken through the first line of the Chahar Independent Regiment. Defense line, so now, no matter what, we should break through the second line of defense, it should not be far from Bauhinia Pass, right?"
What Anan Weiji is most concerned about is undoubtedly the battle situation at Zijingguan.
Because the gains and losses at Zijin Pass are related to whether the North China Front can block the main force of Xu Rui's Chahar Independent Regiment to the west of the Taihang Mountains. If it cannot be blocked in the end and allows Xu Rui's mechanized attack group to enter the North China Plain, then the situation in the entire North China will be It will be completely eroded, but if it is blocked, everything can still be done!
Kasahara Yukio was also worried about the battle situation at Bauhinia Pass, and immediately said: "Hai, I'll go over and take a look..."
However, before the second word "look" was uttered, a communications staff officer hurriedly walked out from the communications office next door, walked quickly to Anan Weiji, and reported with a heavy heart: "Your Excellency, Commander, the battlefield of Zijingguan urgent telegram."
"Battlefield at Zijingguan?" Anan Weiji's expression became stern when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me, how is it?"
The communications staff officer said "Hai" again and said: "The Eighth Independent Mixed Brigade and the Fifteenth Independent Mixed Brigade were counterattacked by the Chinese Army at the foot of Zijing Ridge. The situation suddenly changed. The Imperial Army was underprepared and unable to react in time. The baggage position has been destroyed and is now in dire straits, and is being attacked frantically by the Chinese army!"
"Nani?!" Anan Weiji's face suddenly fell.
Kasahara Yukio and the dozen or so Japanese staff officers present were even more confused.
What's happening here? It's obviously the imperial army suppressing the Chinese army and fighting, okay? How come in the blink of an eye, the imperial army was counterattacked by the Chinese army and beaten into dogs? Isn’t this style of painting changing too quickly? Do you want to be so exaggerated? Are you letting people who are not pleasant to conduct deductions, and are you letting people who are not pleasant to be used as advisers
The communications staff officer continued: "Your Excellency, Commander, General Minamoto no Yoshi and General Nagumo also said that the offensive of the China Army is very fierce. It is already difficult for the independent mixed 8th and 15th brigades to hold on due to insufficient ammunition. If If reinforcements cannot arrive within four hours, they will have no choice but to collectively die in pieces."
The so-called collective jade is just a more honorable way of saying being wiped out.
"Baga Yalu!" Anan Weiji finally exploded. He pulled out his saber and split a chair in front of him into two halves. Feeling uneasy with his hatred, he cut the two pieces into two pieces again with a sideways knife. After four cuts, he yelled loudly, "What on earth are these two idiots, Minamoto Yoshishige and Nagumo, doing?"
"Two brigades, two independent mixed brigades, but less than one regiment of the Chinese Army was beaten into dogs. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. Only the Imperial Army has always been able to defeat the Chinese Army with less and more. What? Is it the time for the Chinese army to turn around and attack the imperial army with less and more? And there is still a disparity of strength of five times! Two stupid pigs!"
Anan Weiji could no longer suppress the anger in his chest and completely ran away.
Kanemitsu Keijiro came over quickly and whispered: "Your Excellency, Commander, now is not the time to be angry."
Anan Wei was startled for a moment, and his mind calmed down instantly. He nodded immediately and said, "Oh, yes, the top priority is to try to reverse the situation at Bauhinia Pass!" After a pause, he asked Kasahara Yukio again, "Kasahara-kun, Yixian County Are there any troops around that can help Zijing Pass? Even an infantry regiment will do!"
Kasahara Yukio shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, there are no troops nearby that can rush to the rescue. I'm afraid we have to wait for the 27th Division or the 35th Division to complete their assembly before rushing to the rescue."
"I'm afraid the Yuanyi Brigade and the Nanyun Brigade won't be able to hold on until that time." Anan Wei shook his head, and then, a ferocious look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said sadly, "I would like to congratulate you, the order The Third Flying Regiment immediately dispatched all reconnaissance aircraft, fighter jets and attack aircraft to fly to the battlefield at Zijingguan!"
"Hai!" He Zhongzhi paused heavily, turned around and left.
