Yingshan County.

Shiro Inaba, the commander of the Sixth Division, walked quickly in front of Okamura Ninji.

"Your Excellency, Commander, take a sip of water." Shiro Inaba finished and handed over a kettle.

"Inaba-kun, thank you." Okamura Ninji took the kettle and poured a big sip as soon as he tilted his head.

From Anqing to Yingshan County, the entire 200-mile mountain road was completed in less than two days and nights, which was not only a test for the officers and men of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, but also a huge test for Okamura Ningji.

Taking advantage of Okamura Ninji's efforts to drink water, Inaba Shiro glanced back at Eiyama County again.

But I saw that the entire Yingshan county town has fallen into a raging fire, this is the war, although Okamura Ningji has ordered not to set fires, but once the battle starts, it is impossible for the officers and soldiers below to take care of so much, they will still kill when they should kill, and they still have to set fire when they should set fire.

However, the attack on Yingshan County only used one brigade.

The main forces of the entire 6th Division did not stop because of this.

Looking back again, looking at the infantry queue walking forward in two columns under the night sky, Inaba Shiro said: "Division commander, the troops have been marching for two days and nights in a row, and they are already very tired, why don't you rest in Yingshan for a night?" ”

"Nope." Okamura Ninji shook his head and said in a quiet voice, "Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, if we rest here for a while longer, the 27th Division will be more dangerous in Changhe Bay!" ”

"But." Inaba Shiro frowned and said, "Yingshan is already less than a hundred miles away from Changhe Bay, and if we continue to advance, especially at the speed of a forced march at night, it is easy to be ambushed by the Shina army, and there are many canyons in the mountains, so if we are not careful, we are likely to repeat the mistakes of the 22nd Division!" ”

"Then keep going!" Okamura Ninko waved his hand, and then said, "Inaba-kun, in addition to being the division commander of the Sixth Division, you are also a general of the Empire, so when thinking about the problem, you should not only consider the safety of the Sixth Division, but also consider the interests of the entire Imperial Army and even the entire Japanese Empire!" ”

"Hello!" Shiro Inaba paused slightly and said no more.

Okamura Ninji said again: "What's more, even if the Sixth Division is really ambushed by the Shina Army, the Shina Army is afraid that it will not have enough time to eat us, because the six garrison divisions that set off from Shangcheng, Guangshan and Daigo should not be far from Changhewan at this moment." ”

"Hello!" Shiro Inaba.

……

In Macheng, the headquarters of the war zone governor.

A signal soldier hurried in and handed a telegram to Zhong Yi.

After reading the telegram, Zhong Yi's face immediately collapsed, extremely gloomy.

Bai Chongbei, Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying and others standing next to them couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.

After settling down, Bai Chongbei finally stepped forward and asked, "Ziren, is something wrong?" ”

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded, and while handing the telegram in his hand to Bai Chongbei, he said, "Okamura Ningji, this old devil, sang a wonderful Ming Xiu plank road and secretly crossed Chen Cang!" With the main force of the 11th Army confronting General Liao Lei's 21st Group Army on the front line of Huang'an, he himself personally led the 6th Division to suddenly appear in Yingshan County! ”

"What? Yingshan County?! ”

"Damn, the old devil is also insidious!"

"It's broken! Now it's a big problem! ”

"Yingshan County is less than 100 miles away from Changhe Bay, and it is less than 200 miles away from Macheng!"

Hearing this, Li Pinxian, Yu Jishi, Hu Zongnan, Tang Enbo and others immediately changed their faces.

After Bai Chongbei read the telegram, his face also collapsed instantly, becoming darker than the bottom of the pot.

The most annoying thing about fighting a war is the current situation, just now everything is good, Zhizhu is in hand, but in a blink of an eye, the opponent has given you a surprise, and you are caught off guard!

After pondering for a moment, Bai Chongbei gritted his teeth and said: "Ziren, why don't you leave a group army in Changhewan first, transfer the rest of the troops to the direction of Yingshan County, and find a suitable ambush point in the middle, so the trick will be repeated, and the sixth division will also be attacked by fire?" If you do it well, maybe you will have a chance to kill this old devil Okamura Ninji! ”

As soon as they heard this, Li Pinxian, Luo Zhengying and others suddenly became active again.

"That's right, how did I forget that Okamura Ninji only brought one Sixth Division?"

"Yes, the 22nd Division and the 27th Division are combined, and it will also make us fall into trouble, and a mere Sixth Division is afraid of his eggs!"

"Didn't say it, fuck it!"

"I'll see if there is a place from Yingshan to Changhe Bay that is suitable for fire attack."

"No, in my estimation, Okamura Ningji, this old devil may not go directly to Changhe Bay, but most of them will come directly to Macheng, where our chief's department is located, and it is more powerful to save Zhao from Wei Wei!"

"Agreed, I also think that I should find a suitable terrain on the way from Yingshan County to Macheng!"

"Guys, come and see, how is this place? This canyon between Beacon Rock and Gaopeng Mountain, I think it is suitable for fire attack! ”

A group of high-ranking generals had a great discussion.

Obviously, these high-ranking generals were inspired by the total annihilation of the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, so they became full of confidence again one by one, as if they could destroy the 6th Division with just one stretch of their hands.

Bai Chongbei was also a little moved, and asked Zhong Yi: "Ziren, how is it?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "Commander-in-chief, do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Bai Chong said sadly, "How could I want to listen to lies? ”

"That's good." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "To be honest, we don't have time anymore. ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "If we don't consider other factors, if our opponents are only the 27th Division and the 6th Division that are coming to help, then as the commanders said, as long as we judge Okamura Ningji's intentions clearly and find a suitable terrain, it should not be too difficult to annihilate the 6th Division, but ......"

After another pause, Zhong Yi said again: "It's a pity that our opponents are not only the 27th Division and the 6th Division, but also more than a dozen divisions of the 11th Army and the 12th Army!" When we finally ate the 27th Division and the 6th Division, more than a dozen divisions of the Japanese army also completed the encirclement of us. ”

Bai Chongbei said: "What do you mean, do you want to transfer quickly while the Sixth Division has not yet arrived?" ”

"Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "If you don't withdraw now, I'm afraid it will be too late if it's too late." ”

"Alas, it fell short." Bai Chongbei sighed and said, "After all, it's a failure!" ”

"It's not a failure!" Zhong Yi said, "At least, we have already eaten the 22nd Division, and we have beaten the 27th Division so that it does not dare to follow and pursue." ”
