While Li Guoyao and others were marching towards Shilipu, Lieutenant General Wu Chuannan, the commander of the Japanese 36th Division, was drinking heavily on the rugged road leading to Guangping County!
On the armored command vehicle, Maideno held a wine bottle in one hand and a command knife in the other, looking angry and depressed. The division chief of staff, Yamada Osato, looked respectful and somewhat trembling.
Lieutenant General Wu Chuannan did have a reason to be angry. Originally, he was not a general known for his pioneering and enterprising spirit. He was conservative and did not approve of the risky plan of the front army headquarters from the beginning.
There are those who fight like this. They know that the opponent is heading for their home base, but they don't pay attention to it. Instead, they concentrate their forces to fight an army that is more than a hundred kilometers away. I really don't know who those people at the front army headquarters are. What to eat.
This is good, Li Guoyao¡¯s troops were not found, but the city of Handan was lost!
There are also those guys from THT who can't help but curse "Baga". They swore that Li Guoyao's headquarters was still in Guantao County, but in the end, more than 20,000 of them turned Guantao County upside down. Chaotian, except for the elimination of several Tubal guerrillas and a group of horse bandits, not even a hair of Li Guoyao's troops was found. This effort is completely out of proportion to the reward.
Although the losses of the 36th Division were not large in this battle, and even there were not many troops left behind in Handan, this was Wu Chuannan's biggest loss after he was promoted to division commander.
You are so useless and so frustrated!
All kinds of negative emotions made the Japanese commander, who was originally in a good state of mind, completely angry. After receiving the order from the front army headquarters to return to Handan City, he directly ordered the troops to rush on the starry night. He had to fight against those hateful support/ The man rushed back before evacuating Handan City, and then wiped them all out.
After Maideno took a few gulps of wine, he asked the chief of staff: "Yamada, where are you now?"
Colonel Yamada immediately opened the top cover of the tank, then stuck his head out and asked a few questions to the guard captain outside, then returned to the carriage and replied: "Your Excellency, division commander, the current location of our army is in Shilipu, very soon. We will reach Guangping County soon!"
"Youxi, order the troops not to enter the city and drive all night!"
"Hai!"
After conveying the order, Colonel Yamada said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, each unit has been marching continuously for more than seventy hours. If we continue to march in a hurry, it will have a great impact on morale!"
After Wu Chuannan took two sips of wine, he threw the bottle forward, then sighed and said: "How can I not understand what you said, but now we have no way out!"
"Nani? Isn't it just a small Handan city? It shouldn't be so bad!"
"Yamada, if it's just a small Handan city, I won't take it seriously. Anyway, this is a branch. You can just take it back if you lose the city. That's okay, but don't forget what Mr. Hirata brought. Those guys!" Wu Chuannan said in a deep voice.
Colonel Yamada frowned and said, "Are you talking about those guys from the observation group?"
"Yes, don't look at those people who say they are here for exchanges and studies, but in fact they are here to inspect the combat effectiveness of our Northern Branch/front army. If this battle is regarded as an exam, then those in the observation group are the invigilators. . But as far as the current situation is concerned, we are burned out this time and have not even reached the passing mark!" Wu Chuannan said.
"But this is a combat plan formulated by the front army headquarters. We are just the executors. Even if the performance is not good, what does it have to do with us?"
"Yamada, you think too simply. Do you think we have a chance to defend ourselves after losing the battle?"
"what do you mean?"
"To tell you the truth, if we don't find a way to save ourselves, once those guys report the actual situation of this battle to the headquarters of the dispatched army, His Excellency Nishio Hisao will definitely be held accountable, and I, the division commander, will bear the brunt. . Don¡¯t talk about following orders. Anyone¡¯s orders at that time are nonsense. No one will be responsible for us, only ourselves!"
Then Wu Chuannan continued: "It would be better if the Dispatch Army Headquarters does not pursue the case, then the Front Army Headquarters will say a few good words to us. Once the Dispatch Army Headquarters holds the responsibility, the Front Army Headquarters will immediately Let¡¯s push it out!¡±
Colonel Yamada was silent. He was wondering if the commander in Beiping City would really let them take the blame!
Originally, he had great confidence in Tada Shun, but when he saw the depressed expression of the division commander, he was shaken.
?You must know that the Division Commander and Mr. Tada Shun are close personal friends. Since even he said this, there must be some basis for it. After all, in terms of understanding of Mr. Tada Shun, the Division Commander is far superior to him. .
"Your Excellency, how should we remedy this now?" Colonel Yamada asked in a deep voice.
"The first thing is to recapture Handan City, stabilize the rear, and then launch a large-scale sweep against the troops in southern Hebei! According to the information collected by the intelligence department, although the troops dispatched a large number of troops in this battle, In fact, there are not many troops that can fight, and the strength of one of our divisions is enough to completely defeat them!"
Then Wu Chuannan continued: "As long as we defeat the army in front of us, regardless of whether we can completely annihilate Li Guoyao's troops, it will be enough to prove that the combat effectiveness of our division is above the standard, and it can also prove that the previous mistakes were not mine. It is not a question of military combat effectiveness, but a question of command.¡±
"Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise!"
"Well, let me inform you and all the troops will speed up their march. We only have one chance this time, so we can't be careless!"
"Hai!"
"By the way, send another telegram to Hirata-kun and ask them to observe the speed of the group and say that there is a good show ahead!" Wu Chuannan said solemnly.
"Hai!"
?¡
Twenty kilometers away, in the convoy of the Japanese observation group that was operating with the rear troops, the general leader, Major General Dohashi Yugi, was talking with the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Major General Hirata Masahan.
Yugi Dohashi is the deputy chief of staff of the China Expeditionary Forces Headquarters and the supreme commander of the observation team, while Masanori Hirata is the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front and an accompanying person dispatched by the North China Front.
For his mission, Tuqiao Yongyi is very clear, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the performance of the North China Front Army is really worrying!
To this end, while unable to sleep during the march, Dohashi Yugi had a good talk with Hirata Shokan.
From his own point of view, he does not like to cause trouble for the North China Front Army, and he has a good relationship with Hirata Shogun, so it is necessary to promote this old friend.
Otherwise, when he returns to Nanjing, there will really be no room for change in many things!
Shogun Hirata also knew what Tohashi Yuichi meant, and immediately expressed his gratitude for his reminder. At the same time, he also stated that the North China Front Army would not disappoint the dispatched army headquarters. This mistake did not truly reflect the actual combat capabilities of the North China Front Army. .
After receiving the telegram from Lieutenant General Wu Chuannan, both of them were surprised! Although I don¡¯t know what kind of medicine Wu Chuannan sells in his gourd, I guess it must be a combat mission, so he asked them to speed up their march and come to the front to watch the battle.
However, considering that they were accompanying troops with heavy logistics, it was impossible to speed up even if they wanted to. Therefore, the two discussed and decided to let the transport troops continue to move at the current speed. The members of the observation group were in the two squadrons. Under the protection of the Japanese army, he separated from the large army and acted alone.
They are not worried about being attacked on the road. Anyway, the two main forces of the imperial army have passed in front of them. If the Chinese army had had the idea, they would have taken action long ago. They could wait until now.
Besides, they also have two squadrons of guards. If something happens, they can definitely hold on until reinforcements arrive.
It is precisely because of this idea that the Japanese observation group swaggered away from the main force and walked step by step towards the abyss of hell! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
