At this time, the battle at Linhuai Pass had reached the most intense moment, under the three-dimensional attack of the little devil's planes, artillery, and tanks, they had soon broken through the first line of defense, but they were in the second line of defense of the defenders, and suffered a crazy resistance.

Even if the little devil has tried his best, it is not possible to break through in a short time!

Regarding this situation, the commander of the 13th Division, Ogisu Libing, was very dissatisfied.

But it was useless for him to be dissatisfied, so far, in order to break through the Huai River, his 13th Division has lost a lot of soldiers, although the Chinese army has suffered more casualties than them, but this is not a situation that the Ogishu army wants to see.

This kind of loss, he can't accept!

Therefore, in order to save soldiers, Ogishu Libing could only order the soldiers to launch a non-stop attack on the defenders under the cover of tanks and planes, hoping to take this opportunity to consume the defenders and kill them!

Break through the defense line of the Chinese army at the minimum cost!

Linhuai Pass, the headquarters of the 13th Division

The commander of the division, Ogisu Libing, was looking at the map in the headquarters and studying the next battle plan.

He was thinking about where his troops would attack once they broke through the Huai River defense line, where they would open a breakthrough to attack the heart of Xuzhou, and whether they would need to join forces with the imperial forces in the north.

That's right, in the eyes of Ogizhou Libing, it is only a matter of time before he takes the Huaihe position!

He has such self-confidence!

Under the non-stop attack of the imperial planes, tanks and artillery, the Ogizhou soldiers were confident that their 13th Division would not be able to break through the defense line of the Chinese army in a short time, and it would be just around the corner to attack the heart of Xuzhou when the time came!

Just as he was studying, suddenly a little devil ran in, holding a telegram in his hand, and said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 19th Imperial Garrison Brigade stationed in Chihe has sent a telegram!" ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ogizhou Libing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't Chihe in our rear and responsible for guarding the baggage?" What happened to him there? ”

"His Excellency Mori, the Captain of the 19th Garrison Brigade, sent a telegram saying that they had been attacked by the strength of the Shina Army, and according to his guess, it was likely to be the main force of the Shina Army, so he asked us for support!"

"The main force of the Chinese army?" Hearing this, Ogizhou Libing was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and chuckled: "How is this possible!" ”

"At present, the forces of the Chinese army have been concentrated on the Huai River defense line, and they are desperately trying to block the army of our empire from forcibly crossing the Huai River, how can there be a large force or even the main force behind?"

Hearing this, a little devil officer next to him came over and said, "But Maori Koshichiro asked for reinforcements, did they really suffer from a large force of the Chinese army?" ”

"Absolutely impossible!" Ogizhou Libing resolutely vetoed, and said very confidently: "My 13th Division attacked the Huai River, and the Chinese army resisted in embarrassment, how could it be possible to divide the main force in our rear?" It's absolutely impossible! ”

"Even if it is attacked, it is very likely that it is only the guerrillas of the Shina people!" Ogisu Libing said: "Maori Koshichiro is only the captain of the garrison brigade, the quality of their soldiers is more than a step lower than ours, it is very likely that they were attacked by the Chinese army, they can't defeat and retreat, in order to shirk responsibility, this is the main force of the Chinese army, we don't have to pay attention, just concentrate on dealing with the Chinese army in front of us!" ”

"As long as you take the Huaihe position, everything will be solved at that time! Even if there is really the main force of the Zhina army in the rear, as long as we attack the heart of Xuzhou and send a force to turn around and annihilate it! ”

Ogisu Libing didn't seem to care very much, and directly made a decision on this matter.

Hearing this, the little devil officer also nodded, looking in agreement.

Indeed, as Ogizhou Libing said, in order to be able to resist their attack, the current China Army has already sent all the elites to Linhuai Pass, how can there be a large force in the rear, presumably Maori just met the guerrillas of the China Army, and accidentally suffered a loss, in order to shirk responsibility, he lied that he had encountered the main force!

Thinking like this, this little devil officer was also relieved!

At present, the center of their 13th Division should still be placed on the Huai River position in front of them, and as long as they break through, all troubles will be solved at that time.

Having made up his mind, Ogisu Libing said lightly: "Reply to Maori Koshichiro, just say that the 13th Division is currently unable to draw troops to support, let them stick to the Chihe River and don't slack off!" ”

"Hey!"

Hearing this, the little devil who had reported it bowed and saluted, and said in response.

Then seeing that the Ogishu soldiers had no other instructions, he turned around and sent a telegram.

Soon, this telegram had been transmitted to the 19th Garrison Brigade in Chihe, and Mori Koshichiro, who was anxiously waiting for the 13th Division to call back, immediately scolded angrily after receiving the telegram.

"Yaga! How so? ”

Maori Koshichiro showed an incredible look in his eyes, and said in disbelief: "I have obviously asked His Excellency the Division Commander for help, why hasn't His Excellency the Division Commander sent reinforcements to reinforce him?" Does he think what I said is false?! ”

"Yaga! Damn it! Maori Koshichiro scolded angrily again, and he didn't know whether he was angrily scolding the troops who attacked them or the Ogisu soldiers.

It's just that his face is iron-blue, and his chest is constantly rising and falling, showing that Maori Koshichiro is not at peace in his heart.

In fact, Maori Koshiro is really angry now!

From sending a telegram to the 13th Division asking for help to the present, during this period, he received calls to the two artillery towers, all of which were attacked by the Chinese army, and so far, the four artillery towers around the north end of the Chi River have been pulled out by the Chinese army one after another!

And they haven't figured out the intentions of the Shina army yet, if it continues like this, the Chihe Garrison Brigade will not dare to go out of the city to the camp at all, in case the Shina army cuts off the baggage transport line, then he Maori Koshichiro will be guilty of ten thousand deaths!

I originally wanted to ask the division for help, but I never expected that the 13th division would actually refuse!

What he said is clearly true! But why didn't the division believe it!

Obviously, the main force of the Chinese army is here, how can their garrison brigade be the opponent of the other side alone?

Guarding the Chihe River and guarding the baggage transportation line is simply impossible!

Maori Koshichiro slumped down in his chair with a look of disgrace on his face. Looking at the few officers standing beside him, he opened his mouth and just wanted to speak, but suddenly heard the phone ringing again.

The bell was so rapid and so harsh in the ears of Maori Koshichiro at this time!
