Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1173 A Dilemma (First Update!)

"Commander, how are we going to fight devils tonight..." At the dinner table, Li Battalion Commander Li of the newly created Fourth Battalion was eating white flour steamed buns.

Several battalion and company commanders nearby discussed the matter and focused their attention on Wang Ping at the same time.

"The old rule is to kill and injure devils in large numbers..." Wang Ping didn't hide anything.

"The Fourth Battalion of the Invalids is still dealing with the devils who reoccupied Songshan Pass~"

"We are here to deal with the Devil's Second Infantry Battalion at eight kilometers, and the Chief of Staff is to deal with the Devil's Third Infantry Battalion, and the Cavalry Battalion to fight! It is not required to take down the devils from these three brigades. However, at least one of them must be killed in one night. The strength of the brigade!"

"Aren't all the ammunition we seized a few days ago still there? Take out one-third of the ammunition and fight this battle. Don't be afraid of wasting ammunition. Even if you use a hundred bullets to kill only one little devil, this battle We also want to fight..."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant General Fujino had returned to his room to rest, and a deputy chief of staff was on duty in the war room.

Suddenly, a radio station in the telecommunications room rang out the harsh sound of sending and receiving telegrams. It lasted less than a minute, and the operator took off his earphones, picked up the telegram he had just translated, and rushed to the war room.

"Sir, the Fourth Battalion who took over the emergency telegram at Songshankou, they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of mountain artillery, mortars, and infantry artillery. The firepower is powerful, and the troops have lost a lot..."

"Also, the Eighth Route Army launched an attack from behind them. It is not clear yet whether troops from their base area will come to cooperate and attack our Songshankou garrison from inside and outside!"

"Bageyalu, why is this trick again!" the deputy chief of staff roared angrily.

But soon he calmed down: "No!"

"During the day, the cavalry brigade and the air force obviously searched. There is no main force of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area~ Now that there are so many people suddenly appearing, who can tell me where they came from and how they escaped the search by our cavalry brigade and air force. .

Several combat staff officers all looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to answer.

"Sir, the garrison at Songshankou has an urgent call!" A communications staff officer suddenly rushed in, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the war room!

"Songshan Pass was also attacked by the Eighth Route Army near the Xinyi Regiment's base. They were equipped with mortars..."

"The Fourth Battalion suffered a great loss, because the Mountain Artillery Squadron was not strengthened. From the very beginning, they were suppressed by the Eighth Route Army and urgently needed reinforcements!"

The deputy chief of staff scolded angrily: "Reinforcements? Now there are reinforcements there to reinforce them!"

"I will report to the head of the division right away. This matter is too big, and the head of the division must make a decision!"

In less than 5 minutes, Lieutenant General Fujino rushed into the war room.

Before the deputy chief of staff could speak, he asked, "Have the other three infantry brigades in this area been attacked..."

"I'll send a telegram to inquire immediately!" Although it was not clear why Fujino asked this irrelevant question, the deputy chief of staff responded immediately, and then rushed to the nearby telecommunications room.

Before rushing out of the war room, a communications staff officer barged in and almost collided with him.

"Sir, the second brigade sent an urgent call. They were attacked by the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is equipped with infantry artillery and mortars. The firepower is very strong, but they can still withstand it!"

Lieutenant General Fujino hadn't recovered from the shock of the news when another communications officer rushed in with a little panic on his face.

"Sir, the third brigade reported that they were attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army~"

"What's the matter, what is the cavalry brigade for? Didn't it mean that there is no main force of the Eighth Route Army in this occupied area? Where did the Eighth Route Army that is attacking us come from! I need an explanation, otherwise, the captain of the cavalry brigade directly Apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!" Lieutenant General Fujino directly turned into an angry lion, staring at his subordinates and yelling.

The deputy chief of staff next to him reminded after hesitating for a few seconds: "Division commander, the responsibility must be investigated. After all, our three infantry brigades were attacked because of their negligence. However, the first thing to solve now is Songshan Call for help from the garrison!"

"They didn't strengthen the mountain artillery squadron, and they didn't have a stronghold to hold on to. Under the attack of the Eighth Route Army, they definitely couldn't hold out for too long!"

"Let them break through now and give up the Matsuyama Pass!" Fujino made a decision after thinking about it!
"For us now, the most important thing is the strength of the troops. Without the troops, no matter how large the territory defended, it will be taken by the new regiment. As long as we keep the troops, after dawn, all the lost territories can be covered by aviation Take it back!"

"What about the other two infantry brigades?" the deputy chief of staff continued to ask!
"Since you can hold it, then stick to your position for the time being!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied calmly.

The deputy chief of staff suggested: "Should we order the first brigade to attack and divide it into two reinforcements? Maybe it is possible to attack back and forth and kill the Eighth Route Army that attacked us!"

This proposal is very attractive, and the feasibility is very high.

After the deputy chief of staff finished speaking, he looked expectantly at Lieutenant General Fujino, thinking that the head of the division would definitely agree.

However, there was no expression fluctuation on Fujino's gloomy and dignified face from the beginning to the end.

He shook his head and replied, "No, the first brigade cannot move!"

"Do you know why we have been so passive in the battles these days? A very important reason is that we don't know the opponent's strength and whereabouts!"

"The cavalry brigade searched for a whole day yesterday but failed to find the Eighth Route Army that is attacking us. Can you guarantee that this occupied area is the only ones exposed by the Eighth Route Army?"

"If there are other Eighth Route Army, will they prepare a pocket formation outside our new regiment's garrison, and kill the first brigade that left the garrison!"

"Don't forget that last night, the Eighth Route Army dispatched a powerful cavalry unit. So far, this cavalry unit has not been exposed."

Beads of sweat immediately appeared on the forehead of the deputy chief of staff, and he said with lingering fear: "It's still the commander of the division, you are thoughtful, and the humble officer will immediately issue an order: the garrison at Songshan Pass breaks through the encirclement and retreats, and the other brigades stand by and stand by! "

"Wait a minute!" Lieutenant General Fujino suddenly stopped the deputy chief of staff who wanted to leave.

Frowning, with a hesitant expression.

"Can't the garrison at Songshan Pass retreat?" Fujino hesitated and struggled for a long time before making a decision.

"No retreat?" The deputy chief of staff asked in disbelief.

"However, judging from the current situation, if they stick to Songshan Pass, they can only die!"

Speaking of this, the deputy chief of staff suddenly reacted: "I know... Division commander, you are worried about the cavalry of the new regiment. If the troops leave Songshan Pass and are attacked by the cavalry, the entire army will definitely be wiped out!"
