Chapter 223: The 4th Division, Dare to come, dare not use
Yu Huohuo looked at Zhou Weiguo without being able to refute for a while. After a long while, he motioned Zhou Weiguo to sit down and asked, "Tell me about your plan."
"Commander, this is what I think..."
Zhou Weiguo expressed his general idea in a few words.
The Independent Regiment continued to set up an ambush at Sandaoguai, but the Independent Regiment's number and troops were still in Teng County, and it also joined the siege of Teng County. This meant that the Independent Regiment's military flag and some equipment, and even some uniforms, were left behind.
Let other troops temporarily wander around Teng County under the banner of the Independent Regiment, while the Independent Regiment hides the truth and waits for the arrival of the Japanese army there to ambush them.
As long as a part of the Isogai Division can be attracted here, the pressure on Taierzhuang will be reduced again. If possible, after defeating the enemy, we will attack Fujin County with all our strength. After defeating the Seya Detachment, the army can quickly advance southward and force the Japanese army to retreat to the north.
As long as he evacuates, the team will immediately take action and blow up the road for their evacuation. He can run, but how far he can run depends on their ability.
"It's a bit risky, but it's worth it. Go ahead and do it. I'll have the Guard Battalion and a regiment from the 51st Division exchange clothes with you at night. You can take Chen Ye and wait over there first."
The Isogai Division Headquarters sent a regiment to rescue, but in the end only less than a battalion was left, and all the heavy weapons and supplies they carried were destroyed.
Originally, Isotani really didn't care about these supplies, but the explosion in Qingdao destroyed the combat supplies heading south, and it would take time to transport the supplies from the mainland.
Now he is in dire need of supplies. Compared to supplies, what he hates more is the shamelessness of the enemy and the carelessness of his own people, which allowed the enemy to advance so deep into the enemy's territory for such a long time without being discovered.
"General, we have received an order from above to withdraw troops and reinforce Tengxian County again."
The chief of staff handed the telegram in his hand to Isotani who was standing in front of the map.
After reading the telegram, Isotani's eyes fell on the direction of Jining, which was on the upper left of Teng County.
Looking at a mark above, Isotani, who had been silent for a while, exploded.
"Are they crazy? The main force of my division is currently attacking Taierzhuang with all its might. How can we have extra troops to rescue Teng County? Shouldn't the 4th Division, which has already arrived in Jining, be sent to rescue Teng County?"
How can they just take advantage of themselves? Do they have nothing to do but to help the Seya Detachment? There is another division above them, and they are just eating and drinking.
As for the base camp, don't go too far.
The chief of staff's mouth twitched.
The Fourth Division, just hearing this name sounds poisonous, such an army. If he dares to go, do you dare to use it?
They didn't even think about how they got down. In order to allow them to move south quickly, the Kwantung Army stopped all the railway lines and forced them to move south non-stop.
This is because the Kwantung Army is eager to rescue. This is nonsense. The Chief of Staff absolutely does not believe it. On the contrary, he believes that the Kwantung Army is afraid that the 4th Division will return, so they want to take the initiative and send the 4th Division out of the pass.
Don’t let the enemy become stronger instead of being able to rescue the people. That would be really heartbreaking.
"I dare not use them. They are from Osaka." The chief of staff said something very disrespectful with a distorted face.
But when Isogai heard this, his face suddenly became so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of it, and he said, "It is a shame for the imperial soldiers, a shame."
"Yes, so even if they are in Jining, they cannot move, and the rest of the troops are also tied down by the enemy. Now the only ones who can reinforce Teng County are us." The chief of staff stated the current situation somewhat helplessly.
He looked at Isogai and said, "Your Excellency, several thousand men from the Seya Detachment are surrounded in Fuji County. If they are annihilated in Fuji County, it will have a negative impact on our army. The headquarters naturally understands this. Therefore, if we can successfully rescue them, it will be beneficial to us and even to Your Excellency, the division commander."
That's several thousand people. Saving them would be an opportunity for promotion to division commander.
Isogai was a smart man and immediately understood what his partner meant. He came to the map, looked at it and said, "Then go ahead. This time, you have to make the hard journey and personally lead a regiment and a tank detachment."
In fact, even if Isotani didn't say anything about this matter, he would definitely ask to go there in person.
Saving and personally saving them are two different things. Moreover, if he rescues them, the great credit will be his, and the small credit will naturally be his.
He ate the meat and just drank the soup, which also had some of the aura of being rescued personally.
"Don't worry, Commander. I will definitely bring them out safely."
woohoo...
Zhou Weiguo squatted in the woods and breathed a sigh of relief. It was March, but it was still very cold in Xuzhou. There was even a light snow just last night.
We were already enduring the cold in the woods, but unexpectedly, a little snowfall made things even worse.
"Have some ginger soup." Seeing Awen breathing heavily on the spot, Xiao Ya walked over from the radio station with heartache and handed her the kettle.
Before the entire independent regiment set out secretly, Zhou Weiguo asked the quartermaster department to prepare ginger soup, two kettles of ginger soup for each person, and a dozen chili peppers for each person.
However, we stayed there too long and the ginger soup was completely consumed.
"Why don't you drink it?" Zhou Weiguo looked up and asked, looking at the untouched ginger soup.
Xiao Ya blinked. She would not tell Ah Wen that she had kept the ginger soup for herself. If she felt really cold, she would eat a chili pepper.
The first time she ate chili peppers, her scalp felt numb and she wanted to pull her hair out, but later, she got used to it.
"I drank it. You should drink some quickly. Thousands of people are depending on you." Xiao Ya changed the subject intentionally or unintentionally, and put the kettle into Zhou Weiguo's mouth.
Zhou Weiguo took a sip helplessly and looked at the sky. The wind was as cold as iron, and it felt like a knife cutting on his face.
"Why haven't the Japanese troops come yet? Do they really want to destroy the Seya Detachment?" Zhou Weiguo gritted his teeth and said angrily, and then added: "If they really don't come to rescue, I swear, I will make sure that the entire Seya Detachment stays in Tengxian for me, which can be regarded as revenge for all the officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army and the hunger we have endured these days."
"Captain." Wu Laoyao came up to Zhou Weiguo like a bear. "Captain, the Japanese are coming."
"Oh." Zhou Weiguo handed the kettle to Xiao Ya and looked at Wu Laoyao in front of him excitedly; "How many people are there?"
After the independent regiment arrived here, they shut down all the radio stations. The entire regiment did not go down the mountain, nor did they contact the military. All they ate were captured canned food and the dry food they brought with them when they left.
Zhou Weiguo had no idea about the situation of the Japanese army, so he could only ask Wu Laoyao to go to the town 30 kilometers away to deploy sentries. Once they found Japanese troops coming, they would report and it would be easier to deploy here.
"A regiment, plus the people who escaped last time, several thousand people, have settled outside the town. I estimate that they will come here tomorrow."
"Okay." Zhou Weiguo laughed loudly and turned to the map of the regiment headquarters. He looked at Fang Shengli and the others who were playing cards with Xiao Ye and said, "The fat meat is here."
