Chapter 574 The Devil Retreats (Four Watches Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Hideki Tojo heard the words of the senior staff officer, and knew that what he said was right, but Anan was a high-ranking general of the empire, and if he was captured or killed, the impact on the morale of the empire would also be very great, no matter what, he had to find a way to rescue Anan Yuji.
As for those troops, he had no choice, however, he knew Anan's character very well, if he was allowed to flee alone, he would definitely not do it, he would not leave his troops, and now how to convince him is a problem.
"Commander, you can't hesitate, when Xue Yue's troops come up, our troops won't be able to withdraw at that time, please think twice!" The senior staff officer saw Hideki Tojo standing there without speaking, and became anxious.
"How likely is that?" Hideki Tojo asked, turning his head and looking at him.
"More than 7 percent, it is very likely, if our 3 divisions are annihilated, then, the troops on the Chinese side will not let go of this opportunity, especially Hu Bin, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.
I estimate that if he finishes fighting Pingjiang, the troops will immediately advance eastward, so that our troops will not be able to hold on to the casualties, and in addition, we need to add bombers to the Nanchang airfield, so as to ensure that there is no problem with the defense line of Nanchang and Jiujiang! The navy also needs to be stationed there for a long time to prevent them from crossing the river to fight. The senior staff officer looked at Hideki Tojo and said.
"Yo Xi, this can only be the case, send a telegram to several divisions and regiments on the front line, and the troops will go to the front line of Nanchang Jiujiang to arrange defenses, and I will send a telegram to General Anan Weiji later, hoping to persuade him to let him leave the army alone and escape." Hideki Tojo nodded and said.
"Hey!" The senior staff officer nodded immediately, turned and went to send a telegram.
Soon. Sakurai waited for the telegram from the base camp and withdrew from the battlefield with his troops, and at the same time, the 34th Division also left Pingjiang with its troops and returned to Nanchang to set up the defensive line.
And all this, Xue Yue's troops didn't know yet. No one would have thought that the devil would suddenly evacuate, nor would he have thought that the devil would not save the people in the encirclement.
"Yaga, how is it possible, how is it possible!" After Anan Yui saw Hideki Tojo's telegram, he was already stupid and sat there for a long time without moving.
When he came to his senses, he had no energy at all, and he didn't believe that this telegram came from the base camp at all, but this can't be wrong. The base camp was going to abandon his troops, not only to abandon his troops, but also to let him leave here secretly with the guards alone.
With such a telegram, Hideki Tojo had given his captain a death order to escape with Anan Yuki, but the captain of the guard saw Anan Yuki like this and knew that he definitely didn't want to leave. But no, no, tonight. He's going to secretly take Anan Weiji out of here.
"Your Excellency Commander, let's go, I'll take command here, the empire can't lose you, please." The chief of staff came to Anand's side and bowed and said.
He has already fought Hu Bin 3 times, and he didn't expect it. I would be beaten like this by Hu Bin, and I didn't expect that I would have such a day, and I was forced to a dead end by Hu Bin.
"No, I can't give up my troops, this defeat is my responsibility. I didn't expect Hu Bin to surprise from there, we were too imprudent, if I thought about it carefully, there would be no such thing at all, and all the warriors of our empire would not be buried here, a full 300,000 troops, 300,000 warriors, I am a sinner. O sinner. Anan sat there and wept bitterly.
He knew that it was not that the empire did not save him, if he did, the empire's losses would be greater, and more soldiers would die in this battle, and the only thing the empire could do now was to give up and give up the troops here.
But the troops outside don't know, they are still holding hope, hoping to break through, they all know the situation in the previous battle of Changsha, there are few people who come out alive, once they are surrounded by the Chinese army, it is a dead end, so their desire to survive now forces them to fight to the death with the Chinese army, and only desperately can they have a chance.
Therefore, now Anan Weiji didn't want to escape at all, he thought in his heart that even if he died, he would die with the soldiers.
"Commander, let's go, the empire still needs you, and our warriors also hope that you can bring other troops to avenge us and kill Hu Bin." The chief of staff still persuaded Anan to say.
"No, I won't go, this is my responsibility, don't persuade any of you, tomorrow, we and the Chinese army will fight to the death." Anan stood up and said with a resolute gaze.
"Commander!"
"I said, I'm not leaving!" The chief of staff still wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted by Anan Weiji!
"Hey!" The chief of staff nodded with tears.
And at this time, a staff officer walked in and reported: "Report, the broken troops have sent a telegram, they will hold the line at all costs, suggesting that we open the passage as soon as possible, if Hu Bin's troops come, our troops will be in danger." ”
"Yaga!" Anan Wei heard it, took the telegram, read it carefully, and read the sorrow on his face.
He didn't expect that the more than 40,000 people he had left behind the break would now be beaten like this by Hu Bin's troops, and they all sent a telegram, which means that the troops are very dangerous, tonight, Hu Bin's troops may break through their rear line, and early tomorrow morning, Hu Bin's troops will appear in their rear!
Anan heard it a few times and walked to the front of the map, and the other staff officers didn't know what he was going to do, so they followed.
"Tomorrow, we will not attack, defend, defend here, even if it is death, we will make the Chinese army pay a huge price. Transfer all the troops here, and here, just in this area, dig fortifications, control those hills, isn't he Hu Bin able to fight? Let's fight! ”
Anan Weiji drew a circle on the map and ordered his troops to enter here to defend, not to attack, not to break through, he knew that they had broken through and could not go out.
Since the Chinese troops wanted to attack Jiangxi, he thought that he could use the encirclement to defeat as many Chinese troops as possible, and if he could inflict heavy damage on Hu Bin's troops, it would be even better!
"Hey!" The staff officers heard it and immediately went to give orders.
At this time, Hu Bin's troops are storming the third line of defense of the devils, and the devils' troops are now unable to stop them at all, and their weapons and ammunition supply has gone wrong, plus more than 6,000 devils, facing the attack of tens of thousands of Chinese troops, whether in terms of firepower or weapons and equipment, they are all inferior devil troops.
They knew that they couldn't hold it, so they all came out with a desperate posture, wanting to kill as many Chinese troops as possible.
But how could Hu Bin's troops give them this opportunity, Hu Bin's troops attacked the third line of defense, it can be said that they were full of firepower, first the artillery bombarded the devil's position, and then the heavy machine guns on the tank and the new rifles of the fighters were all adjusted to the continuous firing mode, as well as the snipers and heavy machine gunners of the special regiment, they suppressed the devils on the hill to the death.
When the tank troops rushed up, the battle was one-sided, and some devils wanted to come over with explosives bags, but they were headshot by those snipers, and they were not given a chance to ignite the explosives bags at all.
"Da Da Da!"
"Rush over, kill them, kill them, let's rest!" Some of the company commanders shouted loudly.
They all know that after such a long period of artillery bombardment, coupled with the blows of tanks and special regiments, there are not many of those devils left.
The battle started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and when it was 1 o'clock in the morning, when the battle ended, most of the devils were killed, and some of the devils probably got into the dense forest, and Hu Bin's troops did not chase too far, and they did not run out much at all.
After Hu Bin's troops finished fighting, they immediately rested on the spot, and the battlefield was not cleaned, and they waited until dawn, and Wei Lihuang's troops also began to march into the encirclement at this time because they had rested before.
However, Hu Bin couldn't sleep at all, and now he learned that Xue Yue's troops had transferred a lot of troops to the direction of Pingjiang, and it was estimated that they were going to attack the devils on the Jiangxi side.
Hu Bin sat in the command headquarters, thinking about the future of the troops, this he had to consider, this involved the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Hu Bin couldn't help but consider, if it was himself, or just a special regiment, Hu Bin was completely sure to take them out of here, but now there is not only a special regiment here, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and arsenals.
"Brother Bin, why don't you sleep yet?" When Li Qinwei arrived at the headquarters and saw Hu Bin still sitting there, one cigarette after another, he immediately walked over and asked.
"It's okay, are there any casualties?" Hu Bin looked at Li Qinwei and asked.
"It's not big, the devil has no chance to resist at all, the artilleryman's brother fights well!" Li Qinwei shook his head and said.
"Well, sit!" Hu Bin nodded and motioned for Li Qinwei to sit down.
"Brother Bin, what's wrong with you?" Li Qinwei looked at Hu Bin a little strangely.
"It's nothing, how are you and Wang Yingbei?" Hu Bin looked at him and asked.
"Hehe, there is still a connection, she is now in college in Yan'an, studying medicine!" Li Qinwei heard Hu Bin ask about Wang Yingbei, and touched his head embarrassedly and said.
"In terms of level, you can get married, when will you submit your application?" Seeing him like this, Hu Bin asked with a smile.
"Wait, she still has to study for 2 years, if after 2 years, she graduates, and I haven't died, I'll just write an application." Li Qinwei said with a smile.
Hu Bin heard it and nodded. (To be continued.) )
