"Ahem, cough, cough"

The commander of the little devil interrupted the argument of his subordinates, they must have a perfect plan if they want to retreat, otherwise the retreat will really turn into a big rout, 100,000 troops are their main force in the Suiyuan region, once the problem will inevitably affect their foundation, although they can rely on the entire four eastern provinces as a backing, but after all, they must take the initiative on the battlefield.

"Your Excellency Commander, it is too dangerous to retreat from Tianzhen, there are many mountains over there, there are no major roads, they are all sheep's intestine paths, we can only pass through them on foot, and we are not familiar with the local routes at all! On the contrary, the Chinese, after learning that we are retreating, will inevitably pursue at full speed, as long as they deploy troops in Tianzhen to block our way, it will be difficult for us to turn back! ”

The brigade commander of a little devil knows very well that such terrain is a dead end for them in China, first of all, their mobility ability is greatly reduced, on the contrary, the Chinese army is familiar with the terrain and can move quickly and follow them, as long as they catch up with them, they will inevitably have great losses.

Secondly, the Japanese army was not familiar with the roads at all, and the morale of the troops was low after fighting for days and without logistics, and if they got lost in the mountains, how many of their 100,000 people could get out of Shanxi, and they could starve to death just by starving.

The commander of the little devil pondered, although he had asked the aviation to send them supplies as much as possible, but this amount of supplies would not last long.

"I don't agree, if we retreat from the west, it will take at least two more days to reach the safe area, and these two days will make our troops eat stones? Besides, as long as we go from Tianzhen, we can replenish supplies from the local Chinese, we don't have to worry about going hungry at all, and save time and effort, if there are more sentences in these two days, there may be more changes! ”

"That's right! Moreover, it is also a big mountain in the west, we also have to walk on two legs, and in the northwest there is also Yan Xishan's Seventh Army, they can block our way at any time, and once the new 33rd Army catches up, they can unite to attack us! ”

The commander of the little devil made a difficulty, no matter which direction to retreat, it was very dangerous to retreat, especially in this mountainous terrain, they had to lose the truck, otherwise they would not be able to get through. Now what both sides said makes sense, and it is up to him, the commander, to make the decision. But how to choose, after the election, he is responsible for all the consequences.

Just when the little devil was discussing a better retreat plan, Liu Chundao in Datong City had already given his commanders at all levels the final order, the attack time was advanced, and before five o'clock this afternoon, all troops launched a counterattack on all fronts.

At this time, there were still three hours before five o'clock in the afternoon, and three hours was enough for the troops to prepare, although the various supplies in their hands were not too complete, but it was enough to fight a counterattack.

The soldiers of the whole line were nervously preparing for battle, preparing to drive the little devils out of Datong. However, at this time, the little devils did not know the plan of the New 33rd Army, and they were still arguing about which direction to retreat from.

Time passed minute by minute, and the time for the New 33rd Army to launch an offensive was getting closer and closer, and the little devils didn't know that their end was getting closer and closer. The little devils on the front-line positions are still fighting for a bite to eat, no matter which unit the veteran bullies the recruits is always something that happens, especially when there is a shortage of supplies, the veterans will take it for granted that they will be satisfied first, and then they will be able to take the turn of those recruits.

However, even so, the veteran could not get enough of it, and while he still had stamina, they had to decide who was the boss of the area, and when everyone ran out of stamina, he would still be able to get enough supplies.

Some Japanese soldiers have not eaten two meals, and it is okay to skip one meal during training in peacetime, but this is a war, and they have to fight hard. The little devil touched his already hungry stomach, and he wanted to go out and find something to eat, but this was on the battlefield, and if he left his post without permission, he would definitely be punished.

The command also did not send an order for a long time, which made the little devil already very annoyed. Many soldiers are not afraid of death on the battlefield, but they are afraid of starvation, and the taste of hunger is worse than the taste of being shot.

"Rice is coming, rice is coming......"

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, lunch was delivered to the little devil's position, and the two little devils carried a large cauldron, and the pot was still steaming, obviously the meal had just been prepared.

The little devils immediately gathered around the cauldron with the jar, so crowded that the two cooks had no place to stand.

"Be careful, don't make a spill, if anyone dares to spill, Lao Tzu will kill him!" A little devil yelled at his companions, trying to use his majesty to deter the people around him who were grabbing food.

However, the little devil's eyes were already green from hunger, and if he didn't eat, he would starve to death, and who cared about the threat, he still surrounded the pot with water, just like they used to surround the Chinese army.

"Bang"

A gunshot rang out, and the little devil looked away from the pot with difficulty, looking at their squad leader, who had already loaded his gun at the soldiers present. All the soldiers reluctantly stepped back, knowing that their captain would shoot at them, because now the food was bigger than life.

Seeing the soldier pushed aside, the Japanese squad leader calmly put away the gun, then snatched the spoon from the cook's hand, and then looked at the food in the pot. The pot is porridge made of wild vegetables and rice, but at this time, who cares if it is good or bad to be able to have a bite to eat, as long as it can fill the stomach.

The little devil's squad leader scooped up a spoonful of soup, frowned, and then raised his head to look at the two cooks: "Is this wild vegetable poisonous?" ”

"We've tried it with a war horse, and it's fine!"

The Japanese squad leader smiled lightly, and then began to eat in large gulps, although the food was difficult to swallow, he still tried his best to eat, because this is his combat effectiveness, and if he doesn't eat, he can only be hungry.

After waiting for the captain of the little devil to be "full of wine and food", he looked at the soldiers who were already hungry: "Line up, one spoonful per person, whoever dares to cut in line, you have the responsibility not to give him food!" ”

After the order, the captain of the little devil's squad walked away, leaving only a group of gobbling up the little devils to lick their rice bowls.

Although there are wild vegetables, but this kind of meal can not satisfy hunger at all, especially some little devils are not suitable at all, and they start to run an hour after eating, and the busy health soldiers run around.

The Japanese command had no time to care about whether the soldiers had diarrhea, because their troops on the flank of Datong found traces of the movement of the Chinese army, and at this time the little devils immediately became vigilant, what are the Chinese troops going to do?

"Will the Chinese army in Datong make a move against us?" A staff officer nervously asked how long their troops, which did not have much ammunition, would be able to hold out if the New 33rd Army really did something against them.

"Retreat is imperative, we must hurry!"

The little devils already felt the fire burning their eyebrows, and at this time they were like ants on a hot pot, and their hearts were in a hurry, but there was nothing good to do.

"Your Excellency Commander, insist on retreating to the east, something goes wrong, and I will bear everything!"

"It's up to you, can you afford it? Your Excellency, I think it's safest to retreat westward! ”

The Japanese army immediately made a noise in the command headquarters, and they all had their own opinions anyway, and they didn't have a really good idea at all.

"Enough of the noise! When is it, it's still noisy! ”

The Japanese commander slammed the water cup in his hand to the ground with a loud noise, and the headquarters suddenly fell silent, and no one dared to say more.

"The purpose of the Chinese army's mobilization of troops is not yet clear, and there is no need for us to mess with ourselves!" The commander of the little devil knows very well that although it is the Chinese army that is moving, he must be stable, if he panics, the commander below will definitely panic, and if the commander below panics, the army will be defeated without a fight.

"From now on, each soldier in the forward position must ensure five rounds of ammunition, now you go and arrange it!"

The little devil commander knows that there is no end to the argument by relying on them now, and at this time he can only give orders by himself, no matter whether it is a good order or a bad order, now there is only one order.

In the end, the little devil commander decided to retreat from the west, but he arranged for a wing of soldiers to retreat to the east, that is, Tianzhen, to attract the attention of the Chinese army and buy them enough time.

The order was quickly issued, but the commander of the little devil deliberately did not give the order to the troops in the city, because they were in the front of the Chinese army, and once they retreated, the Chinese army would definitely press up, so for the sake of the overall situation, the troops in the city had to be abandoned.

The sun is still very hot at five o'clock in the summer, and the cicadas have not been heard in Datong City this year, and all the warriors in the city are ready, as long as the order is given, they will inevitably rush out.

Of course, the little devils in the city don't know that they have become outcasts, and the troops in their rear are already preparing to retreat, and the retreating troops have given them a batch of ammunition in their hands, and the little devils on the front line are also grateful to Dade and swear to be loyal to the emperor, which is to be sold and still counting money for others.

Liu Chundao in the command office looked at his watch calmly, although this moment was not arranged by him, but the moment to launch a counterattack was indeed what he wanted most, it was time to avenge those brothers who died in battle, he wanted to break the little devils into pieces.

"Order all troops, attack!"

When the time came, Liu Chundao gave the final order to attack.

"Da Da Da" "Bang Bang Bang"

The guns and cannons in the city rang out, and the various units cooperated with each other to attack the Japanese troops in front of them, and even Li Weimin, who had been left in the rear, began to make a detour to the little devils on the flank, although they were not the protagonists of this battle, but they were by no means bystanders.
