When Wang Husheng rushed to the Langya station after hearing the news, more than a dozen Japanese prisoners of war, including Machida Ryuji, had all been executed.
Looking at the dozens of Japanese prisoners of war who died in different ways but without exception, Wang Hu became very angry. He glared at Leng Tiefeng and cursed: "Old soldier, what are you doing? I never said to let you Are you interested in these Japanese prisoners of war? Are you deaf? What's going on now? Why did you kill them all?"
"What's wrong with killing?" Xu Rui followed him into the cell and said coldly, "Old Wang, you came here with the civilian husband. It's not like you don't know how many of our civilian husbands these little devils killed along the way. All of them have the blood of our Chinese people on their hands, and they deserve to die! Veteran, kill well! You deserve to be killed!"
"What's good is good, what should be done?" Wang Husheng turned around and glared at Xu Rui, then said, "I won't do this next time!"
"Hey, Lao Wang, that's right." Xu Rui immediately put his arm around Wang Husheng's shoulders and said with a smile, "I won't do it again. I promise there won't be a next time, veteran, right?"
"Yes!" Leng Tiefeng said, "I promise there won't be a next time."
"You guys." Wang Husheng broke free from Xu Rui's hand, pointed at Leng Tiefeng, and said, "I will be killed by you sooner or later."
After a pause, Wang Husheng continued: "Actually, I also know that the hands of these dozen little devils are stained with the blood of our Chinese people, and all of them died innocently, but we still have to abide by the Geneva Convention, now that they have surrendered. , we must not kill indiscriminately, at least not in private without a public trial."
Seeing that Wang Husheng was about to start his political class again, Xu Rui quickly changed the subject: "Well, let's go back to the Youth League Headquarters and then hold the party committee meeting. In the middle of the meeting, you, the political commissar, ran away. This is called What's the matter?"
"Why should we open it?" Wang Husheng asked angrily, "Originally, this was what we were talking about. Now that everyone has been executed, what else is there to say? So this meeting will not be held, it will not be held."
Xu Rui said cheerfully: "If we don't hold a party committee meeting, then we will hold a combat meeting."
"Combat meeting?" Wang Husheng said solemnly, "Is there a general attack?"
"Absolutely." Xu Rui didn't say yes or no, he just said with a smile, "You will know everything when you get back to the regiment headquarters. There are veterans, let's go back to the regiment headquarters!"
At that moment, Wang Husheng followed Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng back to the regiment headquarters.
In the regiment war room, Du Junjie was leading several combat staff members to work on the simulation sand table, and Mei Jiuling was also helping.
Seeing Xu Rui, Wang Husheng and Leng Tiefeng walking in, Du Junjie, Mei Jiuling and several combat staff members quickly stood up to attention and raised their hands in salute.
Xu Rui waved his hand and walked straight to the sand table.
When Wang Husheng and Leng Tiefeng also stood by the sand table, Xu Rui said: "Although the civilian team suffered heavy casualties, the second batch of military supplies arrived in Yixian two days earlier than scheduled. With this batch of military supplies, This will ensure that our Chahar Independent Group can persist longer than the Japanese."
"Now the devils have only two choices, either to continue to defend or to break out."
"In fact, there is only one choice. Because we can only hold on to the spot and die, so a breakout will be a high probability event!"
"Then, there is only one suspense left. If the hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers trapped near Peiping break out, which direction will they choose? Dagukou? Shanhaiguan? Or the Pinghan-Han Line?"
Speaking of this, Xu Rui paused for a moment and then said: "Everyone talks about his own opinions."
As soon as Xu Rui finished speaking, Du Junjie said: "Commander, Chahar is also possible, because most of the passes in Chahar in northern Hebei are in the hands of the Japanese. Breaking out in the direction of Chahar will meet Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army head-on. There will be a collision, but as long as the 35th Army can be defeated in a short period of time, there is still a chance to escape from Chahar into Jehol."
At this time, in Peiping.
Kasahara Yukio said solemnly: "I thought we could only break out from Chahar."
After a pause, Kasahara Yukio continued: "Fu Zuoyi's Thirty-fifth Army is indeed difficult to deal with, but now the strength of the Thirty-fifth Army has been scattered in dozens of counties in Suiyuan and Chahar. If the imperial army concentrates on three With a huge force of more than three divisions breaking out from the direction of Chahar, the 35th Army cannot stop it no matter what!"
Kanemitsu Keijiro said: "The Thirty-fifth Army does not need to block us at all. It only needs to delay us for three to five days, because after three to five days, the Chahar Independent Regiment will overtake us. By then, the front What should I do if the 35th Army blocks the road, and the armored units of the Chahar Independent Regiment crush them one after another?"
Yukio Kasahara was speechless. If he was faced with such a terrible situation, what else could he do? The only thing he could do was break the jade.
After Yukio Kasahara stopped him in one sentence, Kanemitsu Keijiro continued: "So, breaking out from the direction of Chahar seems to be very possible, but in fact it is not the case. Breaking out from the direction of Chahar actually follows the direction of Dagukou and Shanhaiguan." Almost, the possibility of success is extremely small, and it can easily be surrounded by the Chahar Independent Group!"
Kasahara Yukio was a little displeased and said with a snort: "May I ask what you have to say, Jinguang-kun?"
"It's not about having high opinions, it's just a bit of superficial knowledge." Kanemitsu Keijiro turned a blind eye to the displeasure of his immediate boss Yukio Kasahara, because he was a close confidant of Anami Yuki, so he didn't need to care too much about Yukio Kasahara's feelings, and continued, " I thought we could only break out from the direction of the Ping-Han Railway, then turn east from Shimen and enter Shandong Province to join the Twelfth Army."
Kasahara Yukio immediately retorted: "Break through along the Ping-Han Railway. There are plains along the way. It is most conducive for the armored troops of the Chahar Independent Regiment to exert their assault power. The opponent only needs an infantry battalion, guided by tanks, to easily disintegrate the Imperial Army." Any offensive organized by the army, in this case, how to break out? How to stand out? "
Kanemitsu Keijiro said solemnly: "Since it is a plain, troops can be marched everywhere, and breakouts can be made everywhere, so why should we limit ourselves to highways or railway lines to break through? The imperial army can completely attack in groups from dozens of different directions. , and at the same time launched an assault on the defense line of the Chahar Independent Regiment, I don’t believe that the other party can still hold it!"
"Nani?" Yukio Kasahara was speechless. He broke out from dozens of directions
Anan Weiji frowned and said, "But, Jin Guangjun, have you ever thought that if the imperial army abandons Peking and even the entire North China Plain today, it will be difficult to take it back in the future."
Kanemitsu Keijiro shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Commander, have you ever thought that if you continue to defend, not only will Peiping and the entire North China Plain still be lost, but even the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in front of you will not be able to defend it. If you choose to break out, at least If we can still preserve this force, then at least there will be a chance for a comeback in the future! Right?"
"Okay." Anan Weiji was finally convinced, shook his head and sighed, "Then let's break out."
But at this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly came in and handed a telegram to Yukio Kasahara.
After Yukio Kasahara read the telegram, he was immediately stunned with a look of disbelief on his face.
Anami frowned and asked, "Kasahara-kun, where is this telegram? What does it say?"
Yukio Kasahara replied: "The telegram was sent by the Far East Front. General Rommel, the chief advisor of the German advisory group, suggested that we break out to the west and cross the Taihang Mountains to join the First Army stationed in Shanxi."
"Nani?"
"Breakout to the west?"
"Rendezvous with the First Army stationed in Shanxi?"
Not only Anami Yuiki, but even Kanemitsu Eijiro and a dozen senior staff officers present were confused. Is this German consultant named Rommel here to tease me? Breaking through the Taihang Mountains to the west? Is Taihang Mountain so easy to climb? If you can't get over it, you will die faster, and it will also affect the First Army stationed in Shanxi.
Because if the main force of the North China Front breaks out to the west, the First Army stationed in Shanxi will definitely have to make corresponding coordination. Among other things, at least one or two brigades will be dispatched to respond. Then the problem is, the First Army Our troops are now stretched thin, where should we allocate troops from? If the whole body is involved, once the defense line is loosened, the result will be catastrophic!
After thinking through this level, Anan Weiji said angrily: "This is nonsense. Is this Rommel's level? As for the Nordic Fox, I think the Nordic Pig is about the same. No wonder the Far East Front Army still can't arrive after so long. Nerchinsk, it’s all because this Nordic pig is blindly directing us.”
However, Kanemitsu Keijiro unexpectedly said: "Your Excellency, Commander, breaking out to the west is a clever move!"
"Well, is it a wonderful chess move?" Ananwei was stunned when he heard this. The old devil was still very humble. He did not get angry because he was slapped in the face, but asked in confusion, "Jin Guangjun, tell me, wonderful move." where?"
Kanemitsu Keijiro paused and said: "The humble post suggested breaking out to the south, going to Shimen along the Ping-Han Railway, and then turning east to Shandong to join the 12th Army. It was just pure defense, while General Rommel's suggestion to break out to the west was to overturn the encirclement. Crossing the Taihang Mountains to rendezvous with the First Army stationed in Shanxi, we combined attack and defense to prepare in advance for the future counterattack in North China."
Anan Wei said in confusion: "Jin Guangjun, is there any difference between the two?"
"Of course there is a difference, and the difference is huge!" Keijiro Kanemitsu said as he walked to the sand table, picked up a slender bamboo pole and pointed at the sand table to explain, "The biggest difference is that Shanxi is located between the Mongolian Plateau and the North China Plain. In the middle, not only can we launch a dive attack across the Taihang Mountains towards the North China Plain, but we can also block supplies from Baotou!"
When Kanemitsu Keijiro said this, Kasahara Yukio and the dozen or so senior staff officers present immediately understood, and their eyes lit up instantly. However, Anami Weiji still didn't understand, and frowned and said: "Kanemitsu-kun, I still I don’t understand, can you explain it more clearly?”
