At noon on December 11, Duanwu and Zhou Weiguo finally received news from the 88th and 87th Divisions.
Sun Yuanliang wanted Duanwu to go back and take charge of the overall situation, but Commander Wang of the 87th Division told Zhou Weiguo not to go back.
Commander Wang said that the battle situation was very bad and it was only a matter of time before Nanjing City fell, so he asked Zhou Weiguo to break through and go to Chongqing to join them.
Zhou Weiguo said: "Of these two telegrams, which one do you think is the truth?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Yuanliang doesn't love me anymore."
"·············"
Zhou Weiguo was speechless. Although Dragon Boat Festival's words sounded a bit disgusting, they were enough to explain the problem.
The war in Nanjing was dangerous, and Commander Wang directly told Zhou Weiguo not to return to Nanjing, but Sun Yuanliang asked Duanwu to go back and take charge of the overall situation.
Obviously, he is planning to push Dragon Boat Festival to the front again, and then he can take the money and leave!
However, Sun Yuanliang did not use a commanding tone this time. After all, the Dragon Boat Festival was no longer what it used to be.
Zhou Weiguo ran out of ideas and asked Xiang Duanwu: "What should we do next?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Reply the call. Our Independent Regiment and the 522nd Regiment are being pursued by the Japanese army. They cannot retreat from the western front and will break out on their own."
"kindness!"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, and then the communication soldiers on the side went to follow the wishes of Duanwu and Zhou Weiguo and sent them to Commander Wang of the 87th Division and Sun Yuanliang of the 88th Division respectively.
At the same time, Qiu Ming was also sending electricity to the 115th Division headquarters.
He is an honest and good boy. He reports directly to his superiors. They are going to Xuzhou to assist the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment in fighting Zhou Weiguo's 522nd Regiment.
When the division leaders saw the telegram, they thought it was nonsense. What were you doing in Xuzhou without an order from Li Zhongren of the Fifth War Zone? Isn't this giving someone a reason to talk?
What's more, with the limited equipment of the Eighth Route Army, how could they fight the well-equipped Japs head-on?
Qiu Ming was reprimanded: If your equipment can match that of the Japanese, I will let you go.
The division headquarters actually wanted Qiu Ming to retreat when he saw the difficulty, but Qiu Ming was stunned for a moment and immediately sent a message: "Thank you for your leadership's support. Our division has now been equipped with a full set of Japanese-style equipment, and also has
There are more than a thousand Type 38 rifles, please organize and send people to receive them in the Bengbu area."
"·············"
Commander Lin was speechless and thought to himself: This trip to the Shama Shop was not in vain. The whole regiment was equipped with Japanese equipment, and there was still some left. Damn it, if I had known he would have opened a division.
But Deputy Commander Nie of the 115th Division was still very worried and said: "If this independent regiment goes to Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. Although the Nationalist Government has recognized us to fight with it, it is wary of us everywhere, even in some places, that is,
They are deliberately suppressing us."
"Haha, Lao Nie, isn't there still the Dragon Boat Festival? Now that this man has spoken, I think he must have a solution.
In this case, aren't they going to pass through Bengbu? I'll go see it myself and meet this Chinese lunatic."
Teacher Lin laughed, but Deputy Teacher Nie quickly stopped him and said: "This is too dangerous, you can't go."
Commander Lin waved his hand and said: "I still have to go. You said Qiu Ming went to Shama Store and brought back so much equipment. If I went there in person, wouldn't he give me a few howitzers during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
"Haha, you!"
Deputy Commander Nie really can't do anything to Mr. Lin, he is obviously a money addict!
However, there was no way around it. The Eighth Route Army was in dire straits. Although it was now affiliated with the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, they had to rely on themselves for ammunition supplies, etc., and the National Government would not give them anything.
Therefore, the generous Dragon Boat Festival became the God of Wealth in the eyes of Mr. Lin.
Of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to meet this man of the hour who had the little devil chasing him everywhere and had a bounty of 200,000 yuan on his head.
······················
At the same time, Matsui Iwane finally received the news that the Sakata Regiment had been wiped out. The old Japanese Matsui overturned his desk in anger. Because he had been fooled, the Sakata Regiment had been wiped out, so he
Who were all those automatic weapons given to?
At this time, even if you think about it with your buttocks, you can tell that the weapons have been given to his enemies by him.
"Bagaya Road, that loser Bantian, a first-class regiment, was completely wiped out in two days? Those were more than 7,000 soldiers of the empire. Even if they were running all over the mountains, they would be captured by Dragon Boat Festival.
A week?
Damn Sakata, you are a bunch of losers! Why did the empire just raise a bunch of pigs after spending so much money?
Baga! They are all bastards, a bunch of stupid pigs!..."
Iwane Matsui roared like crazy, but no one in the office dared to speak out. Because Sakata's failure this time, let alone Commander Matsui, could not understand it. They also could not understand it.
The Sakata Regiment is known as the strongest regiment of the 10th Division, the elite among the elite, and even though the force was superior to the opponent's, the whole army was completely wiped out. No one expected this.
Many people even find it hard to believe this is true.
However, this matter has been confirmed. In addition to the fact that the defeated soldiers who escaped from the Bantian Regiment reported the incident, the intelligence department also discovered that the high-power radio station of the Sakata Regiment actually contacted the Nanjing authorities using Chinese secret codes.
.
But what they didn't understand was that the other party actually said that they were being pursued by the imperial army and could not break out westward.
This is very difficult for the Japanese to understand, because logically speaking, after annihilating the Bantian Regiment, the Chinese army should immediately march westward and jump out of the enemy-occupied area, but the other party did not. It is said that they are still being pursued, and the intelligence department wants to
Send a message to Sun Yuanliang and tell him that Duanwu is lying to him.
Of course, they did not do that, because some Japs speculated that the cunning Dragon Boat Festival was trying to attack the west. They said they would not go west, but maybe they were preparing to go west.
After going crazy, Matsui Iwane thought the same way, and no matter where the Dragon Boat Festival went, he must block the westward path, and ordered the troops to capture Nanjing with all their strength, and then go north to open the Jinpu Line, and completely annihilate the Dragon Boat Festival.
According to the latest intelligence, Matsui Iwane already knows about a Chinese force of more than a thousand people crossing the line of fire from the Western Front. One of them is the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment, and the other is the 522nd Army of the 87th Division.
group.
The combined strength of the two regiments was only more than a thousand, so Matsui couldn't figure out how Sakata fooled himself to death.
Of course, Matsui Iwane is equally stupid, because he gave his enemy 500 automatic rifles for free.
But at this time, who dares to mention this matter? Everyone avoids it and only hopes that Commander Matsui’s fire will not be burned on themselves! . . .
