At the same time, the enemy headquarters before the battle of Xiaogan in the village of Tumiao.

The victory and defeat have been divided, and there is no suspense in the Xiaogan siege and annihilation battle so far!

Wu Yizhi said to Zhang Lingfu with some sneering: "Zhong Lin, it seems that you are right!" In this general attack, although the casualties of the 74th Army were larger, objectively it led Li Pinxian's 11th Group Army and Sun Lianzhong's Second Army to also launch a general attack on Xinpu Town and Zhuzhan Town, which led to the current favorable situation! ”

At this time, if Zhang Lingfu knows how to be a man, he will definitely let it go gently.

In any case, Wu Yizhi is Zhang Lingfu's top boss, and he still has to give face to him.

But Zhang Lingfu didn't do this, but smiled and said: "Chief of Staff Wu, as a commander, sometimes you really can't care too much about casualties, there is a way to be kind and not to be in charge of the army, isn't it?" ”

Wu Yizhi's face immediately darkened, Zhang Lingfu, what are you? A small character, also with a tone of lesson to talk to me? It's just arrogant!

Xue Yue's face next to him was also not good-looking.

Zhang Lingfu is really arrogant!

However, Xue Yue was not in the mood to worry about Zhang Lingfu now, and said with a dark face: "Although the Xiaogan siege and annihilation battle has been decided, we still have to beware of the Japanese army breaking through from Xiaogan again, and immediately telegraphed to the Third Corps, so that the follow-up 55th Army and 87th Army do not need to rush to Xiaogan again, and can be launched from the line of Yunwu Mountain and Yangjiao Mountain!" ”

Wu Yizhi said: "Is the commander-in-chief worried that little Japan will break through from this direction? ”

"Hmm!" Xue Yue nodded, and said, "I have studied it again and again, if the Japanese army chooses to break through from Xiaogan again, only the direction of Yunwu Mountain and Sheephorn Mountain is feasible!" Therefore, we must take precautions and plug this gap first, in short, this time we must not let a devil leave the Hubei territory alive! ”

"Understood!" Wu Yizhi snapped upright, and Zhang Lingfu also quickly straightened his chest.

……

At the same time, in Xiaogan.

Not long after the loss of Minji Town, Xinpu Town and Zhuchang Town were also lost!

The Chinese troops who pounced on them from three directions were simply crazy, and as soon as they arrived, they threw all their forces and launched a deadly onslaught!

Who can afford to play like this? No one can afford it!

After breaking through the outer defense line of the Japanese army, the national army did not rest because it was dark, but continued to advance rapidly towards Xiaogan from three directions, and there was a great posture to destroy the second army.

Looking at the map, Yoshio Shinozuka only felt a burst of blackness in front of him.

At this point, the defeat of the Second Army has been decided, and it is already wishful thinking to turn defeat into victory!

Now the only remaining suspense is that the Second Army will not be completely annihilated by the Chinese army?

If the Second Army is completely annihilated in the end, then not only him Yoshio Shinozuka, but also the entire Second Army and even several divisions and regiments to which it belongs will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka was angry!

Ogisu Libing and Fujie Keisuke, two idiots, before leaving, swore to him that they would definitely hold the outer defense line, but how long has it been now? The outer line of defense is crumbling!

Not only Ogisu Tatsubei and Fujie Keisuke, but Machijiri Liangji also failed to hold Zhuba Town!

But what can be done to regenerate gas? At this point, we can only try our best to remedy it!

It is definitely not possible to continue to defend Xiaogan, because there is no time to build fortifications, and there is no time to even organize personnel, how to hold Xiaogan in this case?

So I can only choose to break through again!

But in which direction should you break through?

Just as Yoshio Shinozuka was choosing a breakthrough route against the map, Tsuki Bu Jia Gui hurriedly walked over.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka has been temporarily appointed as the commander of the Second Army by the Central China Front Command, he is still the division commander of the 10th Division.

"Division Commander!" The embankment does not clamp Guitun first, "The front army headquarters is urgent!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka continued to move his gaze on the map, and said without raising his head: "Read! ”

"Hello!" Di Bujia Gui paused again and said, "Second Army: I hereby order your troops to immediately break through in the direction of Yunwu Mountain and Sheephorn Mountain when they receive the order!" This order, the Central China Front Command! ”

Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately rolled up the map again.

Because he found out that the order of the Central China Front Command was correct!

At present, their second army can only break through from Yunwu Mountain and Yangjiao Mountain in the northeast!

At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka instructed the embankment not to clamp the nobles: "The embankment does not clamp the king, immediately notify all divisions and regiments, and all directly subordinate wings, throw away all the unnecessary baggage, step up the packing, and the whole army will be pulled out overnight in a quarter of an hour!" ”

"Hello!" The embankment did not stop again, but the person still stood in place and did not leave.

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”

"Hello!" Di Bujiagui paused again and said, "Division commander, throw away the baggage, what should I do with the wounded?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Yoshio Shinozuka's brows immediately frowned, yes, the baggage can be thrown away, what about the wounded?

When they withdrew from Hankow yesterday, they could use the trucks and wagons of their Second Army because they could march along roads and railways, but this breakthrough was not possible!

This breakthrough will take Yunwu Mountain and Sheephorn Mountain, not to mention trucks and carriages, it is impossible to pass!

At this time, the more than 40,000 wounded brought back from the Hankou battlefield immediately became a problem!

In fact, these wounded were only slightly injured, and the seriously injured who could not be saved had already been thrown by them in Hankou and Hanyang, and the more than 40,000 wounded brought back to Xiaogan were all saved!

But salvation does not mean that you will be cured in a short time!

For at least a week, the more than 40,000 wounded were unable to move on their own and had to resort to stretchers!

But it was obviously impossible for the Second Army to build more than 40,000 stretchers and carry these more than 40,000 wounded on the march!

In this way, the marching speed of the army will not go up at all, and it will definitely be entangled by the national army in the end!

After hesitating for a moment, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly gritted his teeth and said in a cruel voice: "Abandon all the wounded, leave them alone!" ”

"Nani?" Di Bujia Gui was shocked and said, "Division commander, do you mean to abandon all the wounded?" Abandon? ”

"Yaga, are you questioning my decision?" Yoshio Shinozuka was already in a bad mood, and he was even worse when he said that he was not caught by the embankment, and immediately roared angrily, "Execute the order!" ”

"Hello!" Di Bujie shook his head, turned around and left.

Seeing the figure of the embankment leaving in a hurry, Yoshio Shinozuka's face darkened little by little.

If he had a choice, how could he be willing to abandon the more than 40,000 wounded? These more than 40,000 people, but they are all elite imperial soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and after returning from their injuries, they will be able to go into battle to kill the enemy and expand the territory for the empire!

Unfortunately, he had no choice!
