War of Resistance

Chapter 962 Masaharu Honma's Decision

The wind is cool, but when it blows on Matsuura's face, it is icy cold. All of this is not as cool as Matsuura Junrokuro's fragile heart.

Junrokuro Matsuura also knew that he had fallen into the enemy's trap, and it might not be easy to get rid of it. The most important thing was how to fight this battle well.

It is impossible to achieve a situation where the center is blooming. The key is how to make a good turnaround.

However, there seemed to be not many options before Matsuura Junrokuro - there was no better choice except to head towards Baishui Street and then join the No.20 Seventh Division.

Because only by joining forces with the 27th Division can we wait for the arrival of the main force of the [-]st Division. Only in this way can we fight a beautiful turnaround.

Regarding these, Matsuura Junrokuro has turned countless times in his mind, and it is true that there is no better choice.

But will the national army allow them to retreat as they wish?It depends on fate.

……

Regarding the blockade and siege of the national army, Matsuura Junrokuro has already decided to obey the order.

Neiji Okamura also decided that the No. 20 Seventh Division must quickly approach the [-]th Division, and the telegram was quickly sent to the Division Headquarters of Masaharu Honma.

As a unit that was also surrounded, Masaharu Honma was not in a good mood. To be honest, if she stayed calm, she might not be wiped out. After all, with the strength of the national army, it would not be easy to take down their defensive positions. thing.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Commander Neiji Okamura, urgent call!" A Japanese officer who seemed to be in a panic ran to Masaharu Honma and reported.

"Commander urgently?" Masahiro Honma had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he couldn't say it out.

"Yes. Please read the instructions!" said the Japanese officer.

"En." Masahiro Honma nodded, and then took the translated message.

After reading this telegram, Masaharu Homma was not as urgent as he imagined, and was so urgent that he immediately wanted to carry out Neiji Okamura's order.

On the contrary, Masahiro Honma frowned slightly, and his face showed a struggle.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, are we going to carry out the orders of Your Excellency the General immediately?" asked the Japanese Major, whose clothes were already stained by gunpowder smoke.

"There is no need to worry about this matter. What we have to do now is to study and understand our situation first!" Masaharu Honma said in a deep voice, her face full of seriousness.

"Hay!" The major bowed his head and stood at attention in response.

After saying this, Masaharu Honma continued to pace around in place, sometimes with his hands behind his back, and sometimes rubbed his temples, it seemed that he knew that he was about to make a major decision.

"But..." Yaqing Honma moved her lips under the beard lightly, "Order the troops to attack Qilin Peak immediately. If Qilin Peak cannot be captured within half a day, the large troops will immediately turn to Xintanpu!"

There was a trace of struggle on the Major's face, but he still chose to obey the order: "Hay!"

"Maeda-kun, I hope you can understand my intentions now, the [-]th Division of Junrokuro Matsuura is beyond salvation, if we rashly transfer to Wanjialing, we will definitely be buried with the Matsuura Division! "Honma Yaharu gasped and said sharply, "We have no doubts about the empire, we must be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but we are not a pawn in the hands of Neiji Okamura."

"Souga, Maeda already understands." Maeda Shaozuo bowed his head and said.

Masahiro Honma took a deep breath, tried to calm down his mood, and then said: "Matsuura-kun is the closed disciple of the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, General Hata Jun-liu. His Excellency, General Hata Jun-liu, will definitely not see his favorite student fall into pieces like this. Yes, it is also impossible to watch the 11th Division, which has always been regarded as the main force of the No.20 Army, being wiped out by the Chinese Army in one fell swoop. If you make a choice, Your Excellency the General must choose us!"

Before Maeda Shaozuo could answer, Masaharu Honma went on to say: "Our loyalty to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor is enough. Our half-day onslaught on Qilin Peak is our last effort. If we can't finish it, we must save it." With vitality, we will show greater combat effectiveness in the next battle and capture Wuhan as soon as possible! We can sacrifice, but we cannot sacrifice ourselves as some people's pawns!"

"Hay!!" Maeda Shaozuo first bowed his head in response, and then continued: "Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, for your enlightenment, and I will go and execute the order immediately!"

"Sougasi... carry out the mission immediately!" After seeing the attitude of Maeda Shaozuo, Masaharu Honma felt a little satisfied.

……

Others do not know that the No.20 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army is preparing to turn west instead of continuing to move towards the southeast, including Okamura Ning, who has placed high hopes on the No.20 Seventh Division at this time. The second lieutenant general and the six generals of Toshi Hata.

However, at this moment, Zhang Tianhai's [-]st regiment of guards in the ninth war zone had been ordered to enter Shangjin Mountain.

"Shangjinshan, Shangjinshan, this is a good place. The mountain is not considered steep, nor is it an enemy that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is only because of the convenience of transportation that we are allowed to settle here..." Standing On the top of Shangjin Mountain, Zhang Tianhai let out a long sigh.

Although the front line is very close at this time, the large Japanese army is still on the move, and the encirclement of the national army has not yet been completed. According to the historical process, Zhang Tianhai also knows that this battle will take a few more days to finish. It's the beginning of the decisive battle.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Tianhai felt a little relaxed.

Of course, this can also be regarded as the calm before the storm!

"Old Zhang...but I haven't seen you in such a good mood for a long time." Standing beside Zhang Tianhai, Guo Qiliang smiled and said.

The mountains in the distance rise and fall one after another, strange and rugged, but fortunately there are these dense trees growing on them, which makes them not so strange.

"Old Guo, we have done the homework we should do, and the training of the troops is almost done. Except for Wang Liang's sixth battalion, which is slightly weaker, the other troops seem to be not so unbeatable, right?" Zhang Tianhai laughed. laughed.

"Except for the sixth battalion and the fifth battalion, which are a little weaker, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the fourth battalion are not weak, and even the third battalion is about to recover. "Guo Qiliang counted them out like a few treasures. As a person who was born as a chief of staff, he is quite good at comprehensive control.

"That's almost it. If it doesn't work, let's add the cavalry battalion. This battle, we're going to beat the little devils to death, and we can't let them run away." Zhang Tianhai smiled, looking very good .

"It seems that our head Zhang Yulin Zhang already has some clues about this battle." Guo Qiliang teased Zhang Tianhai.

"It's hard to say for sure, the key is the general direction. This must be a closed-door battle. Our regiment can barely be regarded as the elite of the elite in the national army, right? I don't believe that in the eyes of Commander-in-Chief Xue , will not look at the first regiment of our security guards." Zhang Tianhai said, "Of course, the task of the main attacking force is not up to us, it is probably No.70 Fourth Army?"
