Chapter 921: The little devil is lost

The same trick, of course, Okamura Ninji will not use it twice on the battlefield, after all, it worked last night, and it is not much use tonight according to yesterday's routine! The most important thing is that Okamura Ninji has already deployed all his plans last night!

Although they launched an attack on Baoding, and after a day of fierce attacks, they did not make progress in Baoding, but for Okamura Ninji, it did not matter! Because Okamura Ningji had arranged more than 100,000 troops from four divisions last night to secretly move from Zhangjiakou all the way to Taihang Mountain!

Of course, Okamura Ningji wanted to arrange for all the troops to go directly from Baoding to Taihang Mountain, after all, it was very risky to make a detour from Zhangjiakou! But his plan was originally to seize Baoding by launching a surprise attack, as long as Baoding was successfully breached, he would order the four divisions to immediately stop their operations and attack Taihang Mountain from Baoding with the large army!

However, Okamura Ninji did not expect that the Chinese defenders in Baoding were unusually tenacious, under their absolute superiority, they could withstand the fierce attack of their armored troops and artillery by infantry alone, and their hundreds of thousands of troops circled around Baoding for a day, and they lost a lot of troops and did not take Baoding!

One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion! When the Japanese army launched the first surprise attack, if Baoding had not been taken, not only would the morale of the Japanese army begin to decline, but the troops stationed in Baoding would not have given the Japanese army a chance to make a second surprise attack.

Since he didn't win Baoding, Okamura Ningji is also willing to make a wave of bets! Baoding they still have to continue the siege, but he has pinned all his hopes on the 100,000 troops, as long as they successfully capture the Taihang Mountain, and then return from the Jingcheng area to attack the rear of Baoding, the Chinese defenders in Baoding will have no way back, and they will inevitably be wiped out by them!

After nightfall, the whole city became quiet, and both sides were very tired after a day of fierce fighting, and it was impossible for the Japanese to launch a surprise attack at night! And the important thing for Li Weimin's troops is to defend the city, as long as they wait for the intelligence to be confirmed, their reinforcements will be able to quickly reach the battlefield!

Both the officers at the front and the intelligence officers at the rear wanted to figure out the situation of the Japanese army as quickly as possible, and this battle has now become a war of attrition, and it is no longer a war of annihilation according to the plan! If the situation is not clarified again, Li Weimin and their reinforcements will not be able to hint at rushing to the battlefield! If the time drags on, the Japanese army can completely consume Li Weimin and them by virtue of their numerical superiority!

The final result is very likely to be the same as the battle between Ma Wanzhong and the Japanese army in the Jingcheng area, although the final result is to win, but the losses are heavy! At the beginning, the troops led by Ma Wanzhong and Hu Guoshan's troops could compete with each other, but when Ma Wanzhong left, even the scale of Liu Chundao's troops did not catch up!

The lesson of Ma Wanzhong's battle in the Jingcheng area had already taught them all that the battle could not continue like this, and that they had to find a way to get back to the plan as soon as possible!

"Brother Fan, why don't we let all the troops we are waiting for go up first!"

The plan can't catch up with the changes, if the situation of the Japanese army has not been clarified, they can't let Li Weimin carry the attack of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops alone, even if they can win, it may be a crushing victory.

Liao Fan stood at the door of the headquarters and looked at the night in the distance, how could he not know the current situation of Li Weimin, although Li Weimin had more than 100,000 troops in his hands, but they were scattered and stationed in various places in Baoding, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops came with their fists clenched, in the local area, they did not have any advantage in this battle!

"Don't wait, inform Cunqi, Lu Liming and Tian Ziqi, all troops must arrive at the designated position before dawn tomorrow morning! Launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army! ”

Since the little devil used the cover of night to deceive the defenders of Baoding and the eyes of their scouts, Liao Fan also decided to use the cover of night to suddenly appear in front of the little devil, regardless of whether the Japanese army was really sent to the Pingjin area, if this battle is not ended as soon as possible, they will definitely be in a passive state!

For the sake of Li Weimin and their not to be disabled, for the sake of those people who died unjustly, no matter whether the Japanese army really dispatched all the troops, they must win this battle!

"Tell Changsheng that their troops are to be adaptable! If the situation is not right, retreat immediately! ”

If the Japanese army still has a large number of troops left behind in the Pingjin area, once the soldiers of the special operations division launch an attack on the port near the Bohai Bay, they will inevitably face heavy encirclement by the Japanese army, and even if they win the battle in the Baoding area, there is no way to support them.

Liao Fan ordered the troops one by one! The first to react the fastest were Tian Ziqi and Lu Liming! Lu Liming and the others are all armored troops, and the speed of maneuver is naturally faster than that of other troops, even if other troops have to transport troops by car, it is very difficult to transport more than 100,000 troops by truck.

Tian Ziqi They have already assembled, and they are the closest team to the battlefield, if they don't arrive at the battlefield in time, cut off the rear road of the Japanese army, and the other troops who support them are thrown into the battlefield too early, it will inevitably make the little devils flee, so Tian Ziqi They must rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible!

All the vanguards who were able to ride in the cars were driven to the cars, and every truck was already overloaded! The soldiers who did not have a car to sit on their backs, carrying the items they needed, trotted all the way to the front line!

"Brother Fan, all the troops have replied to the order and are all acting according to their plan!" Li Lingfei reported to Liao Fan!

"Brother Fan, something is wrong, something is big!"

At this moment, a soldier pulled a slightly older fellow and hurriedly ran into the command headquarters, interrupting the content of Li Lingfei's report to Liao Fan.

"What's going on?"

Since the Japanese army suddenly appeared in Baoding City last night, Liao Fan began to be faintly worried in his heart, and he always felt that something was going to happen!

"Third Grandpa, this is Brother Fan, the supreme commander of Taihang Mountain, tell him what you have discovered!" The soldier took the old man's hand and said eagerly.

"Old man, don't worry, you speak slowly, Shen Zhengwen go and pour a glass of water for the old man!"

The old man was dragged by the soldiers from a long distance, the old man was already old, and his physical strength was a little exhausted, and he had traveled such a long way overnight, even if the soldier carried him on his back for most of the distance, but such a hurry really made an old man unbearable.

"I'm old, and my bones are useless!" The old man sat down slowly on the ground, his face a little pale and panting.

"Third grandfather, hey! Let's talk about it! The soldier spoke directly, "My third grandfather found a little devil in Xiaowutai on the way home today!" ”

The soldier didn't know the specific situation, he just heard his third grandfather say that he saw traces of a large group of people passing through Xiaowutai, and there were still items left on the road!

Originally, the old man didn't take it seriously, he just casually told his grandson! But his grandson was very vigilant, because the command gave an order, the Japanese army was likely to attack Taihang Mountain from a place they did not expect, no matter whether what his third grandfather saw was true or false, this kind of thing would rather be believed or not, so the soldier carried his third grandfather without saying a word and ran directly to the headquarters.

"Hey~ I just saw some traces, and I didn't see the little devil, I really don't know if those traces were left by the little devil!" The old man wasn't sure if what he saw was real!

"Send your grandfather to rest first, I will investigate this matter, don't let the old man toss back and forth so late tonight!" Liao Fan told the soldiers to let him take care of his third grandfather.

After the order, Liao Fan turned around and entered the command headquarters, no matter whether this matter was true or not, he had to figure things out, because this was related to the safety of their Taihang Mountain!

"Huai Yuanliang, notify the reconnaissance battalion of the guard division, let them conduct reconnaissance along this route, and report immediately if they find a special situation!" Liao Fan pointed to the route on the map and asked the reconnaissance battalion to reconnoiter in this direction.

"Li Lingfei, gather all the troops of the guard division and deploy in this area! No one can pass without my orders! Liao Fan hopes that his arrangement is still in time!

In fact, the little devils had already entered the mountain last night, but they didn't dare to act during the day, for fear of being discovered by the troops left behind in Taihang Mountain! Therefore, the little devil plans to crush all the troops in Taihang Mountain in one go at night.

However, the little devil ignores one of the most realistic problems, that is, he is not familiar with the road, the road of Taihang Mountain can be said to be extensive, of course, this kind of extension is only a sheep intestine path, there is no regular road, that is, people in the south of Taihang Mountain to the north of Taihang Mountain, they may also get lost, not to mention the little devil, and they enter the mountain at night!

There are towering mountains all around, especially when the night falls, the night in the mountains is extraordinarily dark, even if the little devil has a map and a compass, he can't find any reference, and as a result, he turned around in the mountains for half a night, and the 100,000 army was successfully dizzy by himself. The little devil didn't make any progress all night, and he didn't dare to act during the day, for fear of startling the snake.

The Japanese army of the four divisions is not a dozen infiltrated Japanese agents, such a huge number, even if the discipline is good, will leave traces!

Because of the reason for getting lost at night, the little devil turned around in the mountains all night, not only did they not find the way forward, but they also couldn't find the way they came, and the little devil was like a headless fly spinning in the maze!

The sky began to slowly brighten, and in order to sneak attack the garrison of Taihang Mountain as soon as possible, the Japanese army decided not to hide their whereabouts anymore, because when it got dark, they couldn't find their way at all.
