    Wawa Mountain. Japanese Army Temporary Headquarters.

    When the telegram for help from Zaozhuang was sent, Tsuchiya's soldiers and horses and others had already rested. They spent the whole day yesterday besieging Washan, but they were defeated by the defenders and suffered heavy casualties. However,  They still failed to defeat the defenders in front of them and captured Wawa Mountain.

    In desperation, Tsuchiya soldiers and horses had to order the troops to suspend the attack and wait until dawn tomorrow.

    However, he was woken up by the adjutant in the middle of the night. After asking, he found out that Zaozhuang City had been attacked and was in danger.

    He hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the headquarters. After understanding the specific situation, Tsuchiya soldiers and horses felt completely like a dog.

    "Baga, who can explain where the army outside Zaozhuang came from?"

    Facing the roar of Tsuchiya soldiers and horses.  All the officers in the temporary command headquarters lowered their heads and dared not speak.

    In fact, not only Tsuchiya soldiers and horses could not figure it out, but others also couldn't figure it out. The enemy was obviously besieged in this mountainous area, and reconnaissance planes could detect their whereabouts every day. How could they suddenly appear outside Zaozhuang City?

    Colonel Kuroshima, captain of the 21st Division Cavalry Regiment, said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, I think that the one who attacked Zaozhuang should not be under Li Guoyao's command!"

    "Then who are they?"

    "The other branches/the National Defense Forces!"

    "Say your reasons!"

    "Hai!"

    Then Colonel Kuroshima continued: "Your Excellency, there is no doubt that Li Guoyao's troops are surrounded in the Xiong'er Mountain area. If the main force of Li Guoyao's troops were not on the mountain, then they would not be able to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of imperial troops. After all, not all troops/  The combat effectiveness of that army can be compared with that of Li Guoyao's troops."

    "Yo Xi! Keep talking!"

    "Your Excellency, after these few days of fighting, the imperial army has suffered very heavy casualties. This proves from the front that the enemy troops on the mountain are extremely powerful and must be the main force of Li Guoyao's troops. If this is the case, then it will be other troops that besiege Zaozhuang."

    Hei Dao continued: "At present, the only one that can mobilize so many troops to besiege Zaozhuang in a short period of time is the Han Deqin Division of the Nasulu War Zone. This unit is designated as the 8th/9th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and is the Jiangsu garrison force.  The main force, its scope of activities includes northern Jiangsu, Xuzhou and southwestern Shandong."

    "And according to Mr. Nakatani's combat guidance, the siege troops have a large number of automatic firepower and artillery, and even a small number of heavy artillery. This is obviously not something that ordinary troops can afford. Therefore, I think this should be the Korean army.  A division under Deloitte or an A-type brigade."

    Tsuchiya Bingma nodded and said: "Kuroshima-kun is right, so how should we deal with it now?"

    "Your Excellency, there are two ways before us now. The first is to ask for help from the 21st Division in Xuzhou, and the second is to return our main force to Zaozhuang." Hei Dao said respectfully.

    "Kuroshima-kun, you are the cavalry captain of the 21st Division. You must be very familiar with the situation of the 21st Division. In your opinion, how should we choose?" Tsuchiya Bingma said.

    "Your Excellency, although the 21st Division is a field division, it is only a third-class division with a three-unit system. Moreover, the defense area includes the entire northern Jiangsu plus half of southern Shandong, so the troops are very scattered, even in Xuzhou City  There is only one infantry brigade of defenders. It may not be easy to assemble them in a short period of time, and Zaozhuang City is in danger and obviously cannot sustain it for long, so I suggest that troops be directly transferred from the Xiong'er Mountain Area to return to Zaozhuang to aid!" Kuroshima Dasado said.  .

    "Kuroshima-kun, you should know that we have paid a huge price many times to encircle Li Guoyao's troops. Once the imperial army returns to Zaozhuang from the Xiong'er Mountain Area, all previous efforts will be in vain!" Tsuchiya soldiers and horses stared at Colonel Kuroshima.  Said in a deep voice.

    "Your Excellency, the army besieging Zaozhuang is obviously to support Li Guoyao's troops. If this strategic goal is not achieved, the other party will obviously not withdraw its troops. Even if the imperial army is willing to abandon Zaozhuang, don't forget that there are still Weishan mountains  , Yixian and other places, and the ammunition and supplies we brought with us this time are limited, we can last for another two or three days at most before they are used up, so Zaozhuang City cannot suffer any loss!"

    Then Colonel Kuroshima said again: "In that case, why not only send part of the troops back to assist Zaozhuang, just like returning to transport a batch of supplies, and the main force will continue to stay in the Xiong'er Mountain area to maintain pressure on the army on the mountain!"

    "Yo Xi, that's all we can do for now!"

    "Then Tsuchiya's soldiers and horses looked at Colonel Kuroshima and said: "Kuroshima-kun, you need speed to return to Zaozhuang, and your cavalry regiment has the unshirkable responsibility. I now order you to command the troops and horses of our headquarters andThe 3rd Brigade, the 4th Brigade of the Sixth Brigade and the engineering troops returned to Zaozhuang urgently!  "

    "Hai!"

    "Let's go, please!" Tsuchiya soldiers and horses said in a deep voice.

    "Hai!"

    The efficiency of the Japanese army is still very high, especially in emergency military situations like this.

    In just ten minutes, the Japanese troops on the Wawashan front line gathered, and then under the command of Colonel Kuroshima, they returned to Zaozhuang at night.

    Due to the urgent military situation, Colonel Kuroshima did not care about the exhaustion of the troops after a whole day of fighting, and the entire army moved forward quickly at the speed of a forced march.

    It is worth mentioning that there is a huge difference between emergency march and ordinary march. As the name implies, the speed must be very fast. Generally, in this kind of march, although the surrounding environment is very harsh, the situation is urgent, so the soldiers must increase their speed, and generally  They were all long distance marches.

    In the historical flight to seize the Luding Bridge, the soldiers used a rush march. The military situation was so fierce that they could not win without a rush march.

    The speed of emergency march is basically 10 kilometers per hour. The speed requirement is very fast, but sometimes the speed will vary due to different terrains.

    It is more than 30 kilometers from Wawa Mountain to Zaozhuang City, and even the urgent marching troops need to travel for three hours.

    Fortunately, the underworld has more than 1,400 cavalry. The knights and infantry can take turns riding the horses to relieve the fatigue of the rapid march.

    Therefore, Heidao asked the soldiers to run at full speed, changing a group of soldiers every five kilometers, and strive to return to Zaozhuang within two hours.

    As soon as the little devils took action, Li Guoyao received a telegram from the garrison at Wawashan.

    The huge movement of the Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain obviously could not be concealed from the defenders on the mountain. Knowing that the Japanese soldiers had returned from Watanayama to help, Li Guoyao immediately ordered the troops to speed up the construction of fortifications.

    At three o'clock in the morning, Li Guoyao and others had just finished building the ambush position. Before the troops could rest for a few minutes, a signal came from the front. The reinforcements of the Little Japs had passed No. 5 and were less than five kilometers away from the ambush position.

    Although Li Guoyao was surprised by the speed of the little Japanese, he still ordered his troops to prepare for battle immediately and wait for the little Japanese's reinforcements to come and die!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
