After issuing the combat order, the two of them lost interest in drinking and immediately broke up the drinking party. Then, escorted by several guards, they arrived at the combat headquarters in front.
At this time, the troops in the city had been assembled, and under the command of a captain officer, they left the city directly from the north gate to reinforce the Jiangzhuang stronghold.
However, less than half an hour after the troops left the city, they heard fierce exchanges of fire coming from outside the city. Even though they were far away, the people in the city could still hear it clearly.
But the sound of the exchange of fire did not last long, and it subsided in less than ten minutes!
In the headquarters, the nervous expressions of Murata Nobuo and others disappeared instantly!
"Your Excellency, the crisis at the Jiangzhuang stronghold should have been resolved!" Murata Sadao said.
"It should be that the battle ended so quickly. It is obvious that the person is not willing to fight face to face with the imperial army. This is the same as our expectation!" Jiujin Qinping said.
However, before he finished speaking, he heard the phone ringing in the headquarters!
Nobuo Murata picked up the phone immediately, then held the phone and said, "Moxi Moxi, I'm Murata!"
After a while of talking in Japanese, Murata put down the phone with a look of shock on his face, and then said to Washizu Jinhei: "Sir, something happened!"
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
"Your Excellency, the call just now was from Second Lieutenant Sato from the Jiangzhuang stronghold. He said that the siege of Jiangzhuang has not been resolved yet. The enemy has destroyed their machine gun positions. They are now in danger. Please ask for assistance!"
"Nani? What about the Odagiri Squadron?"
"According to Second Lieutenant Sato's report, a fierce gun battle occurred not far from Jiangzhuang ten minutes ago, but it ended after a few minutes. Although it is not clear what the situation was, judging from the fact that the army was still besieging Jiangzhuang. , it should be that the Odagiri Division failed!" Murata Sadao analyzed.
However, before Jiujin could calm down, calls came from the eastern and northern suburbs of the city, saying that the imperial army in these two strongholds had also been attacked by a guerrilla group and that the troops had suffered heavy losses and requested reinforcements.
Jiujin Qianping was shocked. Today's situation seemed a bit unfavorable. Many strongholds outside the city were attacked, which directly caused the situation in the city to be extremely tense.
"But Jiujin Qianping is a proud man. He believes in his own judgment. This must be Li Guoyao's plan. The purpose is to make the main force of their 21st Division withdraw from the Zaozhuang front line.
Since he knew this, Washijin Seppei did not immediately report the situation to the Jinan Japanese 12th Army Headquarters. Instead, he ordered all the troops in the city to gather immediately, and then continued to send reinforcements outside the city.
Washijin Seppei didn¡¯t believe that there were many guerrillas outside the city. In his opinion, a few hundred people were enough to support the sky, but he didn¡¯t know that there were tens of thousands of guerrillas outside the city.
¡°It was precisely because of Washijin¡¯s arrogant character and hasty handling methods that he ultimately harmed the Japanese and puppet troops in Xuzhou City, as well as himself.
Xuzhou. 21st Division Headquarters.
It was already half past ten in the evening, and the chaos outside the city had been going on for an hour and a half.
Within this hour and a half, 12 strongholds outside the city were attacked by guerrillas, four of which were confirmed to have been breached. The defenders were wiped out and no one survived.
In addition, there are five strongholds that have turned out to be safe due to timely rescue, and the situation of the remaining few is still unknown.
During this period, Jiujin Qianping divided the garrison in Xuzhou City into several mixed formations, and then acted as a fire brigade, constantly sending reinforcements from the city.
But this/that army is like annoying wild dogs, drive them away from here, and soon these guys will appear at the next stronghold, taking no trouble.
Lieutenant General Washizu Seppei paced back and forth in the command room a little irritably, looking anxiously at the watch in his hand.
There has been no news about the Yamazaki Squadron that went to Sanhe Town for reinforcements, which gave Jiujin Seppei an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Murata-kun, is there any news about Yamazaki Squadron?"
Colonel Murata Sadao said respectfully: "Not yet, but I just had a phone call with the defenders of Sanhe Town. They said that the support/people have withdrawn! It must be Yamazaki and the others who have arrived, otherwise the support/there locals The Eighth Route Army will definitely not retreat!"
"well!"
However, before Murata Sadao finished speaking, the operator loudly said: "Report to your Excellency, Commander, there is an urgent call to the Sanhe Town stronghold!"
"read!"
?"Your Excellency, Division Commander: Our unit joined the Yamazaki Squadron five minutes ago, but was surrounded by the main force. Currently, our unit is surrounded by more than a thousand soldiers at the Sanhe Town stronghold. The enemy has numerous troops and fierce firepower, and our troops have suffered heavy casualties. Now we need combat guidance"
Before the operator could finish speaking, Washizu Senpei slammed the water cup in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "Baga, these damn beasts/that human woodchuck, pass my order, Takeda Squadron immediately reinforces the three Hezhen, send out the chariot squadron to cooperate in the battle."
Murata Sadao immediately dissuaded him: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, there are not many defenders in the city now. If the army attacks the city, the consequences will be very serious!"
"Baga, how can that person still have the strength to attack the city?" Lieutenant General Jiujin Qianping said loudly.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the situation tonight is unclear. Since the troops can raise thousands of people to besiege Sanhe Town, there is no guarantee that they will have thousands more troops outside Xuzhou City. We cannot take this risk. !" Colonel Sadao Murata argued with reason.
"Baga! Are you just going to watch the imperial army in Sanhe Town being annihilated by that person?"
"Then we can't bet on the safety of the division commander and the city of Xuzhou!"
??????? Murata Sadao then continued, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I now suspect that this is simply a trap by that person. Their purpose is to mobilize all the imperial troops in the city and then seize the city."
"How is this possible? No matter how empty the defense situation is in Xuzhou City, there are still only 2,000 combat troops. If someone wants to capture this place, they will need at least tens of thousands of people. As far as Li Guoyao's troops are concerned, their total strength is probably There may not be tens of thousands of people!" Jiujin Qianping said.
"Your Excellency, there is more than just one Li Guoyao unit among the resistance forces in China. Don't forget that the Sulu War Zone was established not long ago. The scope of activities of the Han Deqin Department of the 89th Army under his command is in the northern Jiangsu area. It is only one step away from Xuzhou, if there is this army outside the city, then everything is possible!" Murata Sadao said.
??Wushijin Seppei suddenly fell silent. Although the possibility of this was not very high, he could not help but be on guard against it.
What's more, Murata Sadao was right about one thing. It's really not worth taking such a big risk for a few strongholds outside the city.
"In your opinion, how should we solve the current crisis?"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, in the humble opinion of your position, the Imperial Army is not rushing to reinforce the various strongholds outside the city, but is seizing the time to shrink its troops. We must not give that person a chance to attack Xuzhou!"
"Yo Xi, keep talking!" Jiujin Qianping said thoughtfully.
"At the same time, we must report the situation to the Corps Headquarters immediately!"
"Why is this?"
Murata Sadao immediately said: "There are two reasons for this. The first is to let the Corps Headquarters know the situation in Xuzhou and be prepared to reinforce Xuzhou. The second is to prepare for the worst. Once the troops really attack Xuzhou, And what should we do if Xuzhou is captured by the other side?"
"Given the character of the big guys at the Front Army Headquarters and the Legion Headquarters, once a serious accident occurs, the division commander will be the first to bear the brunt. But as long as we report the situation in advance, they will also order the garrison in the city to be transferred to Zaozhuang, even if Even if something happens, you can¡¯t blame us, this is called preparing for a rainy day!¡±
The expression on Washijin's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he said slowly after a long time: "Suga, Murata-kun is very reasonable. Give me an order, and the troops outside the city will return to the city immediately"
However, before Lieutenant General Washizu Seppei finished speaking, fierce gunfire rang out outside the headquarters, and at the same time, gunfire also rang out in many places in the city.
