Hiroshi Yamada and Hiroaki Sakamoto decided that in the critical situation of being attacked by strong enemies in front and behind, they had no choice but to wait for reinforcements on the spot in Mazhuang.

At this time, the news that more than 15,000 people of the main force of the Japanese army on the North Road, which was divided by the Japanese 2nd Division under the command of Kenichi Muto, had been wiped out north of Wei County, and the news had already reached Taiyuan City.

Taiyuan City under the cold wind and heavy snow is covered in silver light!

In the city, inside the headquarters of the Japanese First Army!

"Your Excellency Commander, Kenichi Muto, they are completely out of touch! I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic. In the command room of the Devil's First Army Headquarters, Taro Miyano walked quickly to Naosaburo Okabe and walked to him, pausing heavily.

Nearly seven or eight minutes ago, after Kenichi Muto sent an urgent telegram to report the current ambush, Naosaburo Okabe and Taro Miyano kept in touch with Kenichi Muto.

It's just that at this time, it's completely untouchable.

Okabe Naosaburo frowned at this time, and his eyes kept staring at the huge map in front of him, and the current battle situation on it kept appearing in Okabe Naosaburo's eyes.

"Miyano-kun, you don't have to contact Kenichi Muto. It is estimated that at this time, the main force of the 2nd Division's North Road Army has been completely wiped out! Okabe Naosaburo smiled bitterly and waved his hand to Taro Miyano.

Taro Miyano approached Naosaburo Okabe and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency Commander, is there really no hope?" The North Route army commanded by Kenichi Muto? More than 15,000 imperial elites were eaten by Li Yunlong's troops like this? ”。

"Miyano-kun, you and Commander Shinozuka have worked together, and it is time to understand the strong combat effectiveness of the new regiment."

Okabe Naosaburo said in a condensed voice: "The news of the 2nd Division's secret entry was decided in a hurry, and it was also a secret entry. It stands to reason that the new regiment must rest for at least a week or two to replenish its strength after fighting the battle against the Imperial 6th Division commanded by Gu Shoufu. But unexpectedly, the news and operational strategy of the 2nd Division's secret entry into the customs were known to the other side. What he didn't expect was that Li Yunlong's troops would actually march east to the north of Wei County to set up an ambush with the main force of his regiment. Kenichi Muto, the defeat is not unjust! ”。

"Right now, I'm worried about the South Road army commanded by Hiroshi Yamada!"

Miyano Taro exclaimed at this time: "It's not good, Your Excellency Commander, the South Road Army of the 2nd Division is in trouble!" ”。

"How so? Miyano-kun! Okabe Naosaburo also suddenly realized something, and said with a gloomy expression.

Miyano Taro hurriedly walked into the table where the map was placed, pointed to the huge map of Jin Province on the table, and said in a condensed voice: "According to the analysis and understanding of the new regiment and its commander Li Yunlong many times. This person is good at winning a battle, and the main force of the 2nd Division's North Route Army is estimated to have been eaten by Li Yunlong's troops at this time. Then, judging from the progress of the attack that Yamada Hao sent to the military headquarters in a timely manner, at this time, Yamada Hao and his troops had already led their troops to the middle section from Guangling to Wei County. Once Li Yunlong led his troops to attack westward without stopping, and Guangling's enemy army went out of the city to pursue, then the main force of Yamada Hao's southern route army would be in a situation of attacking from front to back. ”。

"Although I am also worried about this happening, the South Route Army under the command of Hiroshi Yamada still has more than 10,000 elite imperial troops, and they are not afraid of the main force of the new regiment in the field battle. What's more, judging from all kinds of intelligence, if the new regiment at this time wants to attack Yamada Hao and them back and forth, the number of troops that can be dispatched will not exceed 10,000 at this time! And field combat is the forte of the 2nd Division, and there should be no problem in withdrawing it! ”

Naosaburo Okabe pointed to the map and shook his head.

Miyano Taro smiled bitterly, and then pointed to the heavy snow outside the entrance of the military department, "Your Excellency Commander, it is snowing heavily right now, and the temperature is already more than ten degrees below zero. On the road from Guangling to Wei County, the snow is bound to be deep, and although the 2nd Division is stationed in the Songhuajiang area of eastern Liaoning all the year round, it is not afraid of severe cold. However, at present, the main force of the 2nd Division's northern route army has been destroyed, so once the main army of the southern route encounters a front and rear attack, in this weather, I am afraid it will not be conducive to them to fight on the road. And the troops of the new regiment are very good at field warfare, and their strength is no longer inferior to that of the 2nd Division! ”

At this time, Okabe Naosaburo raised his head and looked outside the headquarters, the heavy snow was still falling, and with the current level of snowfall, Miyano Taro was right.

"Damn! immediately telegraphed to Yamada Hao, and immediately led his troops to evacuate to Lingqiu County. In this kind of weather, it is difficult to exert the combat effectiveness of their army along the way! ”

Okabe Naosaburo glucked coldly, and then said to Miyano Taro urgently.

"Hai, Your Excellency, Commander!"

Taro Miyano responded in a hurry, and just as he was about to leave, he almost collided with the communications staff officer of the headquarters who came over to report the situation.

"Chief of Staff, Rush Electricity, Yamada Hiroshi Rush Electricity!" Without waiting for Taro Miyano to scold angrily, the communication staff officer of the devil said urgently, and the telegram in his hand was waved in front of Taro Miyano.

Taro Miyano took it, glanced at it hurriedly, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Your Excellency Commander, an urgent message from Hiroshi Yamada! Things are in trouble! Taro Miyano then handed the telegram to Naosaburo Okabe, who was less than a meter away.

Okabe Naosaburo immediately took it and took a look, and in less than half a minute, he slapped the telegram in his hand on the table, and the sound of "bang" was enough to show that Okabe Naosaburo's anger was soaring.

Sure enough, I saw Naosaburo Okabe then scolded, "Yaga Yalu, this guy Yamada Hao, knowing that he is already in the situation of being attacked by the opponent in front and back, coupled with the current weather situation, he actually entered Mazhuang to wait for help?" Is he an idiot? Eight Ga Ya Road! ”

Okabe Naosaburo finished scolding, and then his eyes looked at the map, Mazhuang is just an inconspicuous small village on the map, and it is definitely very difficult to stick to it and wait for help.

"Knowing that the people have been attacked from front to back, they should take advantage of the fact that Li Yunlong's main force from Wei County has not arrived, and concentrate the superior forces to kill back in the direction of Guangling. Even if you can't take Guangling, you can bypass Guangling and retreat south to Lingqiu County. Actually not leaving, what does Hiroshi Yamada think? Eight Ga Ya Road! ”

Miyano Taro saw that Okabe Naosaburo's anger was soaring, and he had to step forward and persuade him: "Your Excellency Commander, judging from the urgent telegram report sent by the division, they also had to do it as a last resort. Although the new regiment that followed them from Guangling out of the city had only one or two thousand troops, they intensively laid mines on the road to Guangling, arranged a large number of guerrilla attacks along the way, and delayed the main force of the army on the southern road to retreat to Guangling. According to the current situation, once the main force of Li Yunlong's army in the back arrives, it is very easy to encounter the onslaught of the other party! The current situation and weather conditions of the main force of the South Road, Hiroshi Yamada's decision is not wrong. ”。
