Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 488 A little adjustment

Yu Hua is still figuring out what the Japanese army’s intentions are!

However, the 74th Army and the 4th Cantonese Army on the eastern front discovered that the Japanese army was shrinking its defense line.

Faced with this situation, Yu Jishi and Ou Zhen immediately reported it to the 22nd Army Headquarters.

Sun Zhen and Xue Yue learned that the Japanese defense line on the eastern front had shrunk by two lines, and now the 74th Army and Ou Zhen's Fourth Army were moving forward.

The two also asked to move the headquarters forward, continue to encircle and annihilate the 106th Division, and tear apart the last two lines of defense of the Japs.

After Yu Hua on the side learned about the situation on the Eastern Front, his brain was a little exhausted, because the Japanese army's command was really confused.

The little devil's breakthrough on the Western Front is not like a breakthrough. To say a breakthrough, you can just lead the troops to escape. Why do you need to divide your troops to outflank the retreat of my Western Front Army? !

On the eastern front, the little Japanese are still tenaciously shrinking their defenses, preparing to continue to contend with the Central Army and the Cantonese Army to the end!

Soon, news came from other Sichuan troops on the eastern front that they also wanted to move their headquarters forward. Sun Kequan, commander of the 187th Division, also sent a telegram requesting that their headquarters be moved forward.

They have conquered two lines of defense of the Japanese army and are currently attacking the third line of defense with all their strength!

At the same time, the two Bofus Mountain artillery regiments of the Central Army also sent telegrams to Chen Cheng and Xue Yue, requesting that the artillery positions be moved forward.

Faced with this situation, Sun Zhen looked at Yu Hua: "Brother Yu, do you think the little devil is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Yu Hua touched his head. He was a little "confused" now and couldn't understand what the Japanese army was trying to do.

The Japanese army had already opened a gap on the western front;

There are also Feng Zhanhai's 91st Division and Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division at the junction of the Eastern and Western Fronts. Although the gap here has been blocked, the Japanese counterattack is very powerful.

Especially after the Japanese army sent a regiment to outflank the rear path of the newly formed 144th Division, two more Japanese brigades encircled the rear path of Jin Jizhong's brigade of the 122nd Division.

The passive situation of the 122nd Division and the 91st Division also made Yu Hua suspect that this might also be the direction for the Japanese army to break out!

Yu Hua had a big head, and he rubbed his cheeks, trying to sort out the clues.

At this moment, a staff officer from the group army came to report!

"report!"

"I just received news from our brotherly units. Huang Wei called from the 18th Army. The Japanese 27th Division dispatched a cavalry regiment and two infantry brigades."

"We have formed a detachment with other baggage, engineering and other troops and are moving closer to the 106th Division!"

In an instant!

All the officers in the headquarters stood in front of the map!

Everyone looked at the map on the wall. The 27th Division had sent troops. This was bad news for everyone.

Huang Wei's 18th Army has always been on the defensive in the face of the Japanese 27th Division's attack. Now the 27th Division is sending troops back to Wanjialing.

This is very detrimental to the Chinese troops who are still in the midst of an encirclement and annihilation war!

Time goes back to an hour ago!

After Matsuura Junrokuro discovered that his troops had torn a hole from the western front, the Japanese troops on the eastern front shrank their defenses according to his instructions and prepared to choose the right time to withdraw.

The Japanese troops on the eastern front came to report that if they evacuated at this time, the imperial troops would be easily bitten by the enemy.

The Central Army, the Cantonese Army, and the Sichuan Army advanced very quickly, especially the 74th Army, which was particularly capable of fighting, leaving the Imperial Army passive.

The old Japanese Matsuura has now discovered that it is impossible for his army to completely escape from the Republic of China army!

He said to Sakurai Hazo, "Sakurai-kun, immediately send a message to Commander Okamura Neiji, saying that the enemy on the front and side of the division has repeatedly attacked the Imperial Army at night..."

"Now the imperial army is gradually surrounded by the Republic of China army. In a bloody battle tonight, the imperial army broke through part of the encirclement, but they were unable to escape intact..."

"Please give me tactical guidance, Commander!!"

This telegram, to put it bluntly, is Okamura Neji, come and rescue me quickly!

Otherwise, I will have to answer here tonight!

Late at night, at the headquarters of the Japanese 11th Army in Jiujiang, Neji Okamura had just fallen asleep.

His adjutant suddenly woke Okamura Neiji out of bed: "Your Excellency, Commander, the 106th Division has been surrounded by enemy forces and is currently at a disadvantage." "Nani..." Okamura Neiji stared at himself. s eyes.

There was an incredible look on his face, because the 106th Division had just sent a congratulatory message not long ago and had conquered many enemy positions.

How come in the blink of an eye, the division was in a disadvantageous situation and was in danger of being surrounded and annihilated.

In response, Okamura Neji had no choice but to return to the headquarters and asked his staff officer Miyazaki to introduce the specific situation to him on Monday.

After learning the specific battle situation, Okamura Neji cursed Matsuura Junrokuro: "Bagaya road!"

"Everyone is a loser..."

"The Imperial Army has lost all face to Matsuura Junrokuro!!"

Miyazaki said on Monday: "General, our troops are obviously insufficient now, and I oppose the rescue of the 106th Division!"

"No matter how bad the combat effectiveness of the 106th Division is, we know from Matsuura Junrokuro's message that the 106th Division has not collapsed yet!"

"They are currently in a confrontation with the Republic of China army, and they have also given the Republic of China army a lot of lethality."

"Let the 106th Division continue the stalemate with the Republic of China army. During the day, the imperial aviation will provide support and air-drop weapons, ammunition and supplies."

Inside the headquarters, Hanjiro Iketani, another senior officer of the 11th Army, said: "General, I object to Miyazaki's opinion on Monday. I think the 106th Division should be rescued at the moment."

"The task we gave Junroku Matsuura before was to bypass the enemy's flank and outflank the enemy's retreat."

"According to the battle situation, the Republic of China army deployed a lot of troops in order to encircle and annihilate the 106th Division. After we rescued the 106th Division, we asked the 27th Division and the 106th Division to cooperate."

"We can defeat the Republic of China army in one fell swoop, outflank the enemy's retreat, and open up the current passive situation."

Regarding Hanjiro Iketani's opinion, Miyazaki immediately retorted on Monday: "Iketani-kun, please don't forget:"

"Currently, Wang Lingji's 18th Army of the Sichuan Army has detached some of its forces to assist Huang Wei's th Army."

"Once we withdraw most of the troops from the 27th Division, this will probably give Wang Lingji and Huang Wei an opportunity. By then, they will not be able to rescue the 106th Division."

"The 27th Division has fallen into passivity again!"

Faced with this situation, Ikeda Hanjiro did not expect it.

He lowered his head and said nothing. Next to him, Neji Okamura also had a big head.

The acting chief of staff of the 11th Army, Yoshimoto Teiichi, had not interrupted. He kept rubbing his hands on the side. Now the headquarters was silent. He stepped forward:

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think it's better than this. I order Masaharu Honma to send a cavalry regiment, two infantry brigades, plus part of the baggage and engineers to form a detachment!"

"Attack the flanks of the Republic of China army on the western front. In addition, bring the supplementary troops from the 106th Division. These troops have landed from Jiujiang!"

"Two infantry brigades, more than 3,300 people."

Hearing this, Okamura Neji smiled happily: "Yo Xi!"

"This combat plan is perfect. I approved it. In addition, it needs to be readjusted. I have a better idea in my mind."
