"Tokugawa-kun, did you really kill that dirt road that seized the tanks of the Imperial Army? Roaring, great roaring. ”

Kameda Toshio Osa was happy before he finished speaking, when he heard General Hoshino scolding: "Bastards, a group of bastards, the Japanese tank was easily seized by the Tsuchihachi Road and destroyed the Imperial Army tank, is it worth your pleasure?" ”

"General Hoshino, the Tubalu that grabbed the tanks is very powerful, in that encirclement and suppression of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army's base area, if it weren't for this bastard to capture the Japanese artillery positions on the battlefield, snatch the imperial army's tanks, blow up the baggage transport trucks, and sneak attack the barracks, my wing would have eliminated the Tubalu Independent Regiment and swept the base area of the Eighth Route Army."

"Kameda-kun, you're the wing leader of a wing, can't you deal with a few cunning Dirt Eight Roads? Idiots, big idiots. ”

"General Hoshino, Tokugawa-kun has eliminated these cunning Dirt Eighth Routes, the next step of the Imperial Army's combat operations will definitely be smooth, and the successful elimination of the five detachments of the Eighth Route Army, with the general personally in charge, will definitely be victorious." The cunning Kameda gave the head of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade a top hat just right.

The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade shook his head, no longer holding the two wing commanders accountable for the battlefield, and said to the chief of staff of Yagyu Jubei beside him: "Immediately convene a military meeting to deploy the battle plan." ”

He pointed to the map hanging on the west wall of the tent and said: "This is Songzhuang, the base camp of the five detachments of the Eighth Route Army, and all the troops of the Eighth Route Army are gathered here. ”

The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade ordered the captain of the mixed brigade who followed him to the Kameda Wing defense area: "Hashimoto-kun, order your tanks, artillery, mortars and heavy machine guns to increase firepower to destroy the positions of the Eighth Route Army in Songzhuang when they are close to Songzhuang, and cooperate with the attack of the two wings of the Imperial Army, do you all understand?" ”

"Hai", "Hai", "Hai", Kameda, Tokugawa and Hashimoto, the three Daisa, stood upright and replied in a loud voice.

The Japanese army received the order to quickly advance to Songzhuang, and a more fierce battle of clearing and counter-clearing was about to kick off the war.

Two wings of the 13th Brigade of the Japanese Army and a mechanized mixed brigade, with a total strength of more than 7,000 troops, set off from the camp and advanced rapidly towards Yagezhuang.

In about an hour or so, the large Japanese army had already entered the Yagezhuang area, and the brigade headquarters was set up in Yagezhuang Village, and the two wings were stationed around Yagezhuang to guard the brigade headquarters.

The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade stood in front of the combat sand table that had just been laid down, pointed to Songzhuang and said: "Songzhuang here is a temporary assembly place for the five detachments of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Chief of Staff Yanagi Shibei pouted and said: "The Eighth Road is hitting stones with eggs, and under the powerful firepower of the imperial army, it will take less than three hours to wipe out all the Eight Roads." ”

The arrogant Kameda Wing Captain said: "Your Excellency, the Kameda Wing was the main force of the original forward this time, and captured Songzhuang occupied by the Tuba Road in one fell swoop. ”

Captain Tokugawa Mitsuo, who was cautious and cunning by nature, frowned and said: "Your Excellency, a detachment of the Eighth Route Army plus two regiments of foreign aid dares to fight head-on with the 13th Brigade. ”

"Tokugawa-kun, you were frightened by the Tsuchibachi-ro, this time there is His Excellency the General personally supervising the battle, and with the heavy weapons of the mechanized mixed brigade Hashimoto-kun, the Dohachi-lu will definitely be defeated in the first battle, not as terrible as you said." Kameda Daisa said conceitedly.

The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade looked at several subordinates arguing, he coughed lightly and said: "What Tokugawa-kun said is not unreasonable, Kameda-kun should not underestimate the enemy too much, your first two battles to clear the Tsuchihachi Road have a lot to do with your light enemy, do you understand?" ”

He continued: "It is very unwise for the fifth detachment of the Eighth Route Army and the other two foreign aid regiments to occupy Songzhuang, from a strategic point of view. ”

The commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade continued: "The west and north of Songzhuang are open land, and the east is not high with mountains, which has been occupied by the Tokugawa Wing at this time, and the south is a big mountain, and there are three or four miles away from Songzhuang. ”

"Yeexi, Your Excellency the General is clever, it is impossible to escape from such a Tu Eight Road." Several Japanese soldiers flattered.

The chief of staff of the Yanagi Shibei then added: "The imperial army highlighted the surprise troops in the north of Songzhuang, blocked the Eighth Route Army from fleeing in the direction of Bohai Bay, and forced its defeated Tuba Road to flee westward. ”

The Japanese brigade and regiment headquarters meticulously studied and made arrangements, and in this time to clear and suppress the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, it is necessary to wipe out the five detachments of the Eighth Route Army, and even if they cannot be completely annihilated, they must also drive the remnants of the Eighth Route Army out of the Jiaodong Theater.

The commander of the Hoshino Brigade ordered: Kameda Company as the main force to attack the position of the Eighth Route Army in Songzhuang head-on, and the Hashimoto Mixed Brigade cooperated with the Kameda Brigade to force it to flee westward once Songzhuang was captured, and quickly pursued, and carried out heavy firepower strikes in the pursuit to destroy the Eighth Route of Tsuchiro.

Ordered a brigade of the Tokugawa Wing to march in tandem with the Kameda Wing, and when the Kameda Wing attacked Songzhuang, set up a position in Songzhuang, blocked the Eighth Route Army's rapid retreat to Bohai Bay, and forced the Eighth Route Army to flee westward and encircle and annihilate on the bank of the Shahe River.

A brigade of the Tokugawa Wing was ordered to set off secretly now, quickly bypass Songzhuang, occupy Jiming Mountain, three miles south of Songzhuang, and build fortifications to prevent the Eighth Route Army from escaping deep into the mountains.

Tokugawa Osa was ordered to lead a large group of Japanese troops to follow the brigade headquarters and be ready to fill other battlefields at any time.

After the commander of the Hoshino Shusuke Brigade gave the order, he added again ruthlessly: "This battle is the largest clean-up of the Eighth Route Army carried out by the 13th Brigade of the Imperial Army in Jiaodong. ”

The large army of devils soon drove out of Yagezhuang, and the large army of thousands of enemies rushed to Songzhuang occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

The wheels of the enemy's chariots were rolling, and the dry land in autumn was crushed by the chariots and trampled by the enemy troops, and the earth exploded all over the sky, and from a distance, it was like a sandstorm rushing towards Songzhuang.

Commander Liu, who was studying the combat plan at the headquarters, was interrupted by the report of the reconnaissance platoon commander who rushed in: "Report to Commander Liu, the large Japanese troops stationed in Yagezhuang are advancing in unison like a storm, rushing towards Songzhuang, I." ”

"Can you tell me how many troops the enemy has and how well equipped they are?" Commander Liu asked quickly.

"Report to the commander, there are about five or six thousand enemy troops, and the little devils are overwhelmingly rushing over, and the yellow pressure is overwhelming, and I can't say how many troops the devils have dispatched, and as for the weapons and equipment, it is even more unclear." The reconnaissance platoon commander said.

Commander Liu waved his hand and said, "Lead your reconnaissance platoon and do a good job of guarding." ”

Political Commissar Gao looked at the map and said thoughtfully: "Old Liu, I don't know where Lei Jian and the first battalion are now." ”

"This kid has no routine in fighting, when he left Songzhuang, he said that he should not consider his army when blocking the enemy, and all the deployment of this army is up to him."

"Lao Liu, are you too lenient in giving this thunder sword battlefield command, the strength of a battalion is not under the control of the detachment, what if his battalion is in danger?"

Commander Liu said with a smile: "I'm not worried about the Thunder Sword army, I'm worried that this little guy won't be in any danger, this is my heart disease." ”

At this time, a regiment commander rushed into the headquarters, and before he could enter the door, he shouted: "Commander, political commissar, the devil's large army is still two or three hundred meters away from Songzhuang and has stopped advancing, and it seems that it is deploying an operation to attack Songzhuang." ”

"Order the other troops to withdraw quickly as originally planned, be sure to hide, and never be discovered by the enemy."

Commander Liu saw that the first regiment commander Sun Keming turned around and ran away after speaking, and he chased after the door and shouted: "Commander Sun, your regiment only has two battalions of troops, and it can't stop the enemy for more than half an hour, so immediately evacuate to the deep mountains south of Songzhuang." ”

Regiment Commander Sun returned to the battlefield and ordered the second and third battalions to retreat to fifty meters west of Songzhuang Village, and the second battalion commander asked incomprehensibly: "Regiment commander, this has not yet started a war with the devils, let's withdraw from the position, what kind of battle is this?" ”

"Execute the order and immediately withdraw to a distance of fifty meters west of the village." Commander Sun said quickly, and led the troops to retreat to the west of the village to lurk.
