As the vanguard of the 11th Division. 【. Because the shape is unknown, the most important thing is that the enemy situation is unknown, and he was entrusted with the important task by the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru, who personally commanded a mixed infantry and cavalry brigade as the vanguard of the whole division, and the 44th wing captain Asakawa Osa, who was the vanguard of the whole division, took off his bulky riding boots at this moment, and was comfortably stretching his legs and soaking in a basin of hot water boiled by the orderlies, comfortably scalding his feet.

Since the exit, it has not stopped all the way. After riding a horse for almost half a day and a whole night, and climbing the mountain road for most of the day, he didn't dare to stop all the way to Baoqing County, but his Excellency the wing captain was tired.

What makes it even more difficult for him to accept is that he can only gnaw on the so-called grain essence along the way. Those dry and hard biscuits made it really hard for Asakawa Daisa, who was used to enjoying himself after serving as the wing captain, to swallow. Seeing that it was not far from the final goal of Baoqing County, Asakawa Daisa, who felt slightly relieved, immediately ordered to rest for an hour.

Now that the goal is about to be reached, and the division commander's strategic goal is about to be achieved, he naturally wants to comfort his scaly stomach that has been tortured by those damn, unpleasant military biscuits.

Just as Asakawa was about to eat with a delicious and hearty eel rice, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly came. With the sudden sound of gunfire, several vehicles were braving dense tongues of fire while throwing grenades at the Japanese soldiers who were resting on both sides of the road, while speeding cars broke through the resistance of one of his brigades in front of him and drove away.

I didn't expect that the Japanese soldiers, who suddenly rushed out of a convoy under their noses, would be confused by the fire blows for a while.

As for the one who was about to taste his favorite eel rice, he was almost choked to death by the eel rice that had just been stuffed into his mouth by a grenade that exploded next to him and was caught off guard by the sudden attack in the car.

When Asakawa Osa, who finally got to his senses after the guards beat him, saw that he didn't even say hello, he galloped past in front of him, and threw it to a bunch of convoys that he couldn't accept gifts. Look at the subordinates who were unguarded by bullets and grenades because they were eating, and they were killed and wounded.

After the angry first gave the cavalry squadron captain Hakuhisone Shaozuo next to him a big mouth, he said angrily: "Baga, are the eyes of your cavalry vigilant used to vent anger?" Where did these cars come from? You cavalry are just a bunch of rice buckets, why don't you chase me. ”

Looking at His Excellency Dazuo who was furious, his face was numb, Kasuga Sone Shaosa pointed to the place not far away where the cavalry horses should have been tethered, but now there was only a place where the horse corpses were located, and said tremblingly: "Your Excellency Dazuo, I'm afraid the cavalry squadron has no combat effectiveness." Not to mention the pursuit, the rest of the march can only be temporarily used as infantry. ”

"The opposing convoy has fallen its main firepower on the cavalry squadron, and more than thirty grenades have just landed in the herd of war horses, and you have seen this result by now. Our horses are already combined, and there are less than ten left, and they can't be pursued at all. ”

"The convoy appeared so suddenly and so quickly that our sentry rushed over before they could raise the alarm. Instead of alerting the police in time, our guards were killed and many others were injured. ”

Asakawa Daisano climbed to the position of captain of Daisa, and he is not a mediocre talent. The direction in which the convoy suddenly appeared was heading towards Baoqing County. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the tactical intentions of His Excellency the division commander had been fully exposed. If you delay and let the other side complete the preparations, it will really change from a surprise attack to a strong attack.

Knowing that as soon as this convoy passed, his whereabouts had definitely been exposed, and Asakawa Daisa, who did not dare to delay any longer, left a small part of the troops to cover the wounded, and commanded the rest of the troops to stop resting and kill the county seat of Baoqing with a rapid march. If he can't complete the task of the surprise attack on Baoqing County given by the division commander, the division commander will not be able to spare himself.

Yang Zhen naturally didn't think of Asakawa Daisa's thoughts. When the convoy rushed through the Japanese formation, without making any stops along the way, and arrived directly at Baoqing County, Yang Zhen saw Peng Shilu waiting for him at the city gate, and he didn't care about greetings, and after calling him into the car, he asked directly: "How is it, are you ready for battle?" ”

Peng Shilu hurriedly said: "No. 1, we received a telegram order from No. 3 last night, we have reduced all our troops to the county seat, and have begun to use the original fortifications to prepare for street fighting. At the same time, I have ordered all the houses facing the street to be connected to each other, and the walls have been shot with bullet holes. And in accordance with wartime standards, ammunition was stockpiled for five days at various support points. ”

In response to Peng Shilu's deployment, Yang Zhen shook his head and opened the map and said: "This is not good, the two regiments cannot be placed in the city, and there can only be two battalions left in the city at most." The county seat of Baoqing is not large, and it can only accommodate more than one regiment of troops at most. Concentrate all the troops in the county town, the density is so large, how many people are left after the Japanese artillery fire? ”

"The total strength of your two regiments is actually only four and a half battalions, and even if you add one of my guard battalions, it is only five and a half battalions. Although there are not many troops, they are all concentrated in a small county town the size of a palm, and this density is also quite large. In the case of not occupying the advantage of firepower, even if the whole army is exhausted, how long can it last. ”

"Only one regiment was left in the county town to defend, and the other regiment relied on the county town to fight one after another. You put two companies each in Jiaxinzi and Dongguan, and put the rest of the troops in the middle of them as a mobile force. Your two regiments do not have large-caliber artillery, except for a couple of infantry artillery companies and a nine-zero mortar battery. Gathering all the troops together can only allow the Japanese army to be consumed little by little with artillery fire in vain. ”

"In addition, didn't the headquarters store a batch of stockpiled mines in Baoqing? You're going to have to use all the mines. I remember that before the war, Du Kaishan built a lot of fortifications on the periphery of Baoqing County, and you must make use of them all. Rely on existing fortifications as much as possible. ”

"On my way here, I have already encountered the vanguard of the Japanese army on the front line of Hongshan. There is not much time left for you, so you should go and prepare immediately. It is necessary to complete the adjustment of the deployment before the arrival of the vanguard of the Japanese army. In any case, you must hold on for at least three days, which is the task given to you by the headquarters. ”

"You have to face the main force of the 11th Division this time, and the pressure is very high. Both the strength and firepower are at an absolute disadvantage. I don't want you to make any promises, I can only hope that you can complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters and create a Zào fighter for the next step of the main force's operation. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen raised his head from the map and said with a stern expression: "I'll tell you the truth, this time your burden can be described as quite heavy, and you must even be prepared to sacrifice the whole army when necessary." This 11th Division did not go as we envisioned, but swords out of the way, and attacked the territory of Baoqing alone, which really caught us off guard. ”

"Originally, according to the battle plan of the headquarters, Baoqing County was prepared to give up when necessary in order to disperse the forces of the Japanese army. If, in the first stage, the Japanese army divides its troops to the north to capture the county seat of Baoqing, we will not only not be on fire, but will be very happy. Because the more dispersed the Japanese forces, the more beneficial it is to our army. ”

"But at the moment, it's different. The main forces of our army are now concentrated on the southern front, and the internal forces in the base areas are empty. Once the Japanese army crosses the county seat of Baoqing and goes north and goes deep into the interior of our base area, it will bring us unimaginable passivity. Unlike the first stage, after the 11th Division did not move westward, but chose to go north. The county seat of Baoqing has now become the central point of the next overall operation. ”

"Defending the county seat of Baoqing and dragging the main force of the 11th Division to the north. The next step of our army's battle plan will be able to unfold smoothly. Before the main force adjusts its deployment, once the county seat of Baoqing is lost, not only will the door of our base area be wide open, but our army will be passive on all fronts. ”

"Although I do not advocate fighting the kind of fight to the death against the enemy outside the country. However, under the current situation of empty troops in the base area, once the 11th Division is put into the base area, our losses will be too great. The most important thing is that our army will hand over all the initiative gained in the previous bloody battle, and in future combat operations, it can only be led by the nose by the Japanese army and follow their intentions. ”

"In the situation that the other troops are no longer able to arrive in time to replace you, and to keep the initiative in the battle absolutely cannot change hands. I can only pull you up, who have been resting and recuperating, and have no combat mission. There's no way around it. I hope you will understand. ”

"Sacrificing the local in exchange for the overall situation, although the headquarters is unwilling to do it, but at the moment there is no way. But don't worry, I'll be sitting here for the next few days, and I'm not going there. Stick to you for three days. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen's words, which were a bit ruined, and looking at Yang Zhen's expression, Peng Shilu said without any hesitation: "No. 1, please rest assured that you and the headquarters director will not hesitate to complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters even if I fight to the death." ”

"But there's one thing, you definitely can't stay here. The shape is critical, and you must leave. Even if we shed the last drop of blood, we will drag the Japanese army in Baoqing County for three days. But No. 1, you are the highest military commander of the whole army. Your battlefield isn't just in Baoqing. I assure you that we are resolute in our mission. But One, you can't really stay here. ”

Hearing Peng Shilu's eager tone, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "I said, I won't go and just wait here." Go ahead and prepare, there won't be much time left for you. Pay attention to maintaining a certain reserve, as well as mastering the rhythm of the battle. The forces were at a disadvantage, and the initiative in the battle could be given to the Japanese. But the rhythm on the battlefield must be controlled in our hands. ”

Yang Zhen had a resolute attitude, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, and Peng Shilu, who had not much time left for himself to prepare, had to hurriedly explain to Yang Zhen's company commander and driver Lao Lin of the personal guard company, don't wait for the city defense to be broken through, as long as the two forward positions of Jiaxinzi and backer on the periphery are lost, even if they are knocked out, they will be forcibly sent out. I hurried over to adjust the deployment.
