Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 850 Pocket Array!
In the early morning of December 12, the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army captured Yuhuatai, while the No. 12 Division of the Japanese Army captured Zijin Mountain, and then broke into Zhongshan Gate and broke into the city.

The No.13 Division of the Japanese Army stormed the Wulong Mountain Fortress, and the Ninth Brigade crossed the Yangtze River in an attempt to seize Pukou and cut off the only northward retreat route for the defenders.

At this time, Commander Tang finally panicked, and cried to the Hankou government: "Our army is fighting with steel with flesh and blood, and the number of casualties is of course heavy."

Commander Tang was powerless to recover, and he didn't have this ability in the first place, so he could only temporarily give an order to retreat at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.

Of course, at this time, I still have to say some high-sounding words: "Nanjing is very critical now, and a few enemies have already rushed into the city. From your point of view, do you think it is still safe to defend?"

Using his words, anyone who is a fool will know that the army is in chaos and not prepared enough, and trying to defend Nanjing is just wishful thinking.

What's more, among the people here, he is the only one who is hotheaded and wants to stick to Nanjing, so many senior military officials present can only look at each other in blank dismay, and the atmosphere is very embarrassing.

Therefore, our Commander Tang could only publish the long-preserved secret order of the chairman: "If the situation cannot be kept for a long time, you can retreat with the camera to plan for the future."

"Cough cough!"

After reading the chairman's secret order, Commander Tang regained his momentum, coughed a few times, and then said loudly: "The war does not end today, but continues tomorrow. The war does not end in the Nanjing garrison, but Infinitely extending beyond Nanjing. Please remember today's shame and revenge for today's hatred!"

"it is good!"

All the senior officials cheered, and then scattered like birds and beasts, and went home to roll up their own gold and silver and run away.As for his own troops, Bird was in charge.

So a vigorous battle to defend Nanjing ended up being an escape contest to see who could run the fastest.

Of course, the fastest runner was Commander Tang, because he had prepared a small steamer for himself early on.

So in this battle, if it hadn't been arranged by the Dragon Boat Festival to keep Tang Jiujiu and open the ferry, I don't know how many people will die this time.

･･･････
At the same time, in the mountains [-] kilometers away from Bengbu, Duan Wu was looking at the map and scouting the terrain.

Because they were stopped by the Japanese army again.

The Japanese army opened a pocket array in the Yandang Mountain area, just waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival to jump in.

Endo was naturally there too, and he had arranged all of this.He notified the captain of the 150th regiment early on to set up a formation in Yandang Mountain, and he did so without any concealment.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, they came out at night and did not move during the day. They sent scouts to investigate and discovered this huge pocket formation.

No, this can no longer be called a pocket formation, but a sea of ​​devils.

The devils seized here first, all the commanding heights are under their control, and they have built no less than ten artillery positions, and they have sufficient ammunition.

Although the old snorer who was in charge of the investigation only saw the tip of the iceberg, he was still very shocked.All over the mountains and plains are the fortifications of devils, how can this be?
After hearing the report, Zhou Weiguo said: "It seems that we can only go west."

Duan Wu said with a smile: "Then how do you know that if you go to the west, the devils will not be on defense as they are now?"

Zhou Weiguo was shocked: "You mean?"

Duan Wu said: "Yes, the devils have been completely enraged by us. If we kill them again, there will be no place to put their faces, and when we came to An County, we let go of one of them." Unbelievable devil, I am afraid that our current predicament is also caused by him."

Zhou Weiguo said disdainfully, "Hmph, he's just a coward."

But although Zhou Weiguo said so, he didn't think so in his heart, because judging the situation, it would be wise to retreat quickly under unfavorable circumstances.

Qiu Ming looked even more embarrassed at this time, because the Eighth Route Army he brought out had more than 1000 people, but after several battles, there are not even 700 people who can still fight now.

Of course, it is not only the Eighth Route Army that has suffered losses. The independent regiment of the Dragon Boat Festival is the same as Zhou Weiguo's 600nd regiment. The combined strength of the two regiments is less than [-] people who can continue to fight, and they also carry a large number of troops. the wounded.

And if it wasn't for the seized devil truck, they wouldn't know how to take these wounded away.

And at this time, seeing a big battle imminent, many people were very hesitant.

Zhou Weiguo is like this, so is Qiu Ming.This is especially true for the officers and soldiers under several people's flags.

But at this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, few people were worried. Although there were chasing soldiers behind and devils chasing and intercepting him, it was much better than when he went to Shamadian alone.

At that time, they only had [-] people to face a large group of devils. Thinking about it, it was a situation where there were ten deaths and no lives.

But he survived, not to mention that he still has more than 300 people to mobilize at this time.

These people are all veterans of the battlefield, and they are different from those bandits.

In addition, he has sufficient ammunition, three chariots, and dozens of cannons.

Although the shells are slightly insufficient and can only hit one base at most, it is still much better than his bare hands.

What's more, at this time, Duan Wu also thought of one person, and this person was General Zhang.

This General Zhang is Zhou Weiguo's mentor.

So Duan Wu put his arms around Zhou Weiguo's neck and said: "Old Zhou, don't you say that Lao Zhang may have arrived in Bengbu? Why don't you ask? Lao Zhang has an army in his hand!"

Zhou Weiguo gouged out Duan Wu's eyes, because there must be nothing good about Duan Wu's mouth.

However, the situation was critical, so he still said, "I just said that General Zhang might have arrived in the Bengbu area, but I didn't say that he would definitely be there? By the way, what do you want him for?"

Duan Wu pursed his mouth and said with a smirk: "Gifts, we can't eat such a big piece of cake, why don't we show filial piety to the old man? What do you think? Hehehe!"

"・・・・"

Zhou Weiguo was speechless, obviously you were blocked by the devils, and you said it was a piece of cake, and only you could come up with such a bad idea.

However, the words of the Dragon Boat Festival reminded him that now it is absolutely impossible to rely on them alone to break out of the encirclement, but if they rely on external forces, it will be much simpler.

General Zhang's 59th Army has two divisions under its jurisdiction. If they can arrive in time, the little devils in front of them may not be enough for them to bite their teeth.

But at this time, how to contact General Zhang is very difficult, because the devils have not had time to change the code, and they are the same.

That is to say, nowadays, they and the devils are almost playing open cards. If Zhou Weiguo sends a power to General Zhang, then the devils will know about it and make arrangements.

Therefore, Zhou Weiguo felt that although the Dragon Boat Festival is easy to say, it is actually not very feasible!
