At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Commander Xu ordered Battalion Commander Chang to suddenly launch an attack on the Japanese troops outside the city according to the instructions of the division commander. The Japanese troops, which had been in a state of active attack, were unexpectedly attacked by the Chinese army. Captain Miura's first thought was
The Chinese defenders were about to break out of the encirclement and immediately ordered two nearby squadrons to quickly reinforce the city to the southwest.
Captain Xu saw the temporary mobilization of Japanese troops through the telescope, and said to the messenger beside him: "Go and report to the division commander that the reconnaissance team can set off."
"yes."
After receiving the call, Commander Dai walked out of the division headquarters, looked at the reconnaissance team that was ready to go, and reviewed it with satisfaction.
"Brothers, the national crisis is at the forefront, and we shall reimburse the country. This time we rush to help the Ren'an Qiang, I need you to report to me the battle situation on the Ren'an Qiang side as soon as possible. This is related to the life and death of the 200 Division, and is also related to China.
The expeditionary force is making major adjustments to its overall strategic layout. Brothers, are you confident in completing the mission?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Luo Yuesong and his brothers shouted in unison.
"Okay, I'm waiting for you to return in triumph and set off!" Master Dai waved his hand vigorously.
The first motorcycle got the order and set off first. A few minutes later, another motorcycle set off, followed by Luo Yuesong himself driving the jeep. The last motorcycle was responsible for breaking the rear, with Brother Chao in charge.
Then we set off.
Commander Dai looked at the retreating reconnaissance team with mixed emotions. The war situation was so unsatisfactory, and he was worried about the fate of the 200 Division. However, what was even more worrying was that this expedition of 100,000 national troops abroad would be able to ensure the smooth flow of the supply lines of the Anti-Japanese War.
?
"Commander, is it time to stop Commander Xu's attack?" Chief of Staff Lu reminded Commander Dai.
"Well, stop it. Order the entire division to conserve strength and save ammunition. First, secure Tonggu City steadily and serve as a strategic fulcrum."
"yes."
Since the north of Tonggu was basically under the control of the Far East Allied Forces, although the Japanese army marched from the jungle on the eastern front, they were still in the midst of what they called a secret march. Therefore, after Luo Yuesong's convoy left the city, the road was basically smooth.
Before dark, we had traveled more than 180 miles, and were only twenty or thirty miles away from Pingqiang River.
Luo Yuesong has been fighting in the New Fourth Army for several years. The New Fourth Army has poor equipment and has no absolute advantage in combat. It likes to march covertly, which Luo Yuesong has gradually gotten used to. Now that he is driving a car on the road in a swagger, Luo Yuesong has always been on high alert.
On the map, we are almost to the Pingqiang River. We may encounter the Japanese army here at any time. It is not that we are afraid of the Japanese army, but that Luo Yuesong cares about the safety of his brothers very much. Only by saving himself can he better attack the enemy. What's more, he himself
The team he leads can be said to be the most elite force of the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army, and every comrade is a valuable asset in the war of resistance.
Luo Yuesong stopped the car and asked Lei Hang to give the order for everyone to stop moving forward and wait in place, because Luo Yuesong found a good place that could hide three motorcycles and a jeep.
Luo Yuesong led his brothers to drive motorcycles and jeeps into the jungle. After hiding the vehicles and camouflaging them with tree branches, they brought enough ammunition and food and the whole team got off the vehicle and walked towards the Pingqiang River Ferry.
After resting for two hours, Leng Renren's troops turned right northwest and headed due north, heading towards the Pingqiang River.
At this time, the team of Second Lieutenant Pingchuan, who was extremely patient, was almost reaching the Pingqiang River Ferry after traveling through the mountains and jungles for more than ten hours.
Yoshida Shoichi was not in a hurry to find the location of the Chinese reconnaissance team at once, because he knew very well that this reconnaissance team would definitely go to Ren'anqiang to detect the encirclement of the Imperial Army and the British and Burmese troops.
On the other hand, the noisy Second Lieutenant Kosaka was running around in the woods like a headless fly, hoping to find the Chinese reconnaissance team as soon as possible.
Several forces are heading towards the same point, and collisions with each other are inevitable. The key depends on the wisdom of the commander and the bravery of the soldiers.??
