"We cannot let him leave, otherwise it will be a great disadvantage to us."
Kitashirakawa frowned. It could be said that he had not slept well for several weeks because of this dragon-slaying plan. However, he did not expect that he had calculated everything perfectly, but he still underestimated the Dragon Boat Festival.
At this time, Kitashirakawa Aoi had to face his opponent squarely again.
Because you can imagine that when such an important town is captured by your enemy, any officer will want to take it back quickly and at any cost.
However, Duanwu did not do this. First he was delayed in coming, and then he refused to attack. Instead, the reconnaissance teams he sent out were attacked one after another and suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, not all the imperial troops outside the city died, otherwise he would have become blind and deaf.
But what about this time? Duanwu even abandoned them and left, as if they would not accomplish anything if they continued to stay here.
Kitashirakawa was very confused. Why was such an important strategic place not in a hurry when the Dragon Boat Festival was lost?
"Aso, what do you think?"
Kitashirakawa had no clue, so he asked Aso again.
Aso thought for a while and said: "Senior, didn't you just tell the 10th Division to start taking action? Then why not come here and fight out from between the 114th Division of the Northeastern Army and the Dragon Boat Festival, cutting off the Dragon Boat Festival's way. Then the 10th Division
The 10th Regiment of the 10th Division interspersed in the direction of the 40th Regiment, while the 63rd Regiment of the 10th Division was used to cut off the connection between the 51st Army and the 31st Army.
The 114th Division and part of the 9th Division continue to contain the 31st Army. If the 31st Army is really as vulnerable as rumored, then we will take advantage of the situation and defeat the 31st Army in Huainan.
The area formed a huge encirclement, encircling the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment and the 51st Army."
After Taro Aso finished speaking, Kitashirakawa nodded, then rang the bell on his desk, and the herald immediately ran over and bowed to listen to the order.
Kitashirakawa ordered: "Let the 10th Division start taking action. Except that the missions of the 39th Regiment and the 40th Regiment remain unchanged, the 10th Regiment and the 63rd Regiment will quickly enter the hinterland to attack the enemy.
The Dragon Boat Section 1 of the 114th Division of the Northeast Army intercepted the attack.
After the interception, let the 10th Regiment of the 10th Division cross due east, join the 40th Regiment, and then circle north to completely cut off the connection between the 51st Army and Xuzhou in this direction, and block the Dragon Boat Festival Part One.
Reinforcement road towards Bengbu.
The 63rd Regiment is mainly responsible for the 31st Army, and also blocks the possibility of the 31st Army to reinforce the 51st Army. If their strength is not enough, let the 150th Regiment of the 114th Division cooperate.
Humph! Aren’t you going to fight Bengbu during the Dragon Boat Festival? Then I will drive you back like a rabbit.”
"Hi!"
The Japanese messenger received the order and immediately ran out to wash the messenger for Kitashirakawa.
At the same time, Kitashirakawa took a long breath. But after a moment, a smile appeared on his face again. Because the more cunning his prey, the more challenging he felt.
Kitashirakawa no longer knows how long it has been since he was so excited. His enemies before were all boring. Either he would become paralyzed with fear when he heard Kitashirakawa's name, or he would commit seppuku and commit suicide just to meet someone who needed him.
Thinking about your opponent is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But unexpectedly, during his trip to China, he encountered the Dragon Boat Festival. This was a ferocious prey that even scared him.
But precisely because of this, his interest that had been dormant for a long time was awakened again. He picked up a gun again and became a hunter.
But maybe Kitashirakawarai never dreamed that the prey he thought might be the hunter.
The roles of hunter and prey are not fixed but interchangeable.
When a hunter walks into the woods with a gun, he may also become the prey of a wild beast.
Therefore, in this war, it also declares what is meant by the law of the jungle. If you defeat your opponent, then you are a hunter, otherwise you are just a prey under the hunter's gun.
Kitashirakawarai enjoyed the hunting process and did not realize that he might be the prey.
Ever since he went deep into Bengbu alone and occupied Bengbu, Dragon Boat Festival had definitely locked onto him. However, this Japanese prince was indeed cunning, and Dragon Boat Festival's several designs did not reveal any flaws in him. Even if Dragon Boat Festival transferred Wang Tong and Lu Jian away, Kitashirakawa Xi still had no clues.
Plans to leave the city.
When faced with such a cunning and cautious enemy, Danwu felt that he might as well be a little bolder. Didn't you little Japs Kitashirakawa wash out of the city? Then I won't care about you. I'll deal with the Japs outside first, and then I'll deal with you.
As for the fact that Kitai Baichuanxi could lead the army directly to Xuzhou without the restraint of the Chinese army, Duanwu also thought about it. The final result was that Kitaibairakawaxi did not have the courage. He attacked Bengbu and occupied it because Bengbu was only a few kilometers away from the front line battlefield.
More than thirty kilometers. And multiple Japanese troops were fighting, entangling the 51st Army.
If the 51st Army cannot deal with him, he is actually safe in Bengbu City.
But if he goes deeper into the hinterland from Bengbu, then in addition to the 31st Army, there are also the 22nd Army and nearly two divisions of Xuzhou's city defense army waiting for him.
So if Kitashirakawa washes away, there probably won't be any bones left.
However, since there are so many troops in the direction of Xuzhou, why not send a large army to take back Bengbu?
The reason is very simple. First, it is because the Dragon Boat Festival is in Bengbu. Li Zhongren feels that there will be no problems in Huainan. And second, his troops focus on defending against the Japanese on the northern front.
In addition to the Japanese Second Army, the Japs on the northern front seemed to have mixed in with many other troops. Moreover, these Japs had not participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing and other battles before, so they were full of energy and had extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Therefore, Li Zhongren must reserve most of his troops to deal with the Japanese on the northern front. What's more, just last night, the Japanese had opened a gap in Jinan City, and Han Fuju of the Third Army was leading his troops to fight in the street with the Japanese. But he could
How long it will last is hard to say.
And this is because the cannons have been obtained in the Dragon Boat Festival and are being sent to Shandong.
Otherwise, it might not be that easy if you want this old boy to sacrifice his life.
But even so, the casualties suffered by the Third Army made Han Fuju feel a little sad. Because these soldiers were his political capital, if they were all lost in the battle with the Japanese army, the consequences could be imagined.
He is a warlord, and it is only a temporary measure to seek refuge with the Nationalist Government. If he loses the military power in his hands, he will probably die on the streets in seconds.
Thinking of this, Han Fuju has already made a decision to withdraw from Jinan City as soon as his troops receive artillery fire from the Dragon Boat Festival!
