Chapter 995 Their ambitions are quite big.
There was no other choice.
He and the 14th Division were in a front-to-back relationship. If he didn't catch up in time, General Xiangyue would hold him accountable, and he couldn't bear the responsibility.
"We can only move forward and follow suit."
“But Commander, if the enemy is luring us in, then we will not only be facing the elite Independent Brigade of the Central Army, but also Tang's Army Corps. To be honest, I have been worried about what Tang's Army Corps will do next.”
Is General Tang really going to refrain from sending troops like he did at Taierzhuang and Liujiazhuang? He's not really worried that Zhou Weiguo will take action against him.
“I’m worried about this too, but Togo Heiichiro has completely gone mad.” Seya wanted to tell Togo Heiichiro that they shouldn’t pursue too quickly, but he was even more convinced that Togo Heiichiro would never agree to it.
"Commander, I think we should be more careful and bring heavy weapons with us. That way, if things go wrong, we can get out quickly before Tang's army can react."
It carried a large number of heavy weapons.
After putting down the telegram, Zhou Weiguo looked at the people around him and asked, "What do you think about this?"
"The 14th Division advanced with only a small number of heavy weapons, while the Setani Detachment used so many weapons. It seems that they are more cautious than the 1st Division."
“Big sister is right.” Asaka Hideaki pointed to the location of the Seya Detachment; “They also left a force here.”
After glancing at the situation map, Fang Shengli said, "They're on guard against us."
After everyone shared their thoughts and explained the situation, they all looked at Zhou Weiguo.
What to do next? We'll have to listen to his opinion.
“Continue to retreat, and we can even suggest that the theater command also retreat. I don’t believe that after seeing the 14th Division eat so much meat, the Kase Detachment will still be unmoved.”
As long as he disperses his troops and heavy weapons, he won't pose much of a threat, and it won't be easy for me to deal with him then.
"Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander!" Xu Hu ran in from outside; "The Nakamura Brigade of the 14th Division has broken through the 3rd Regiment's defenses and is less than a kilometer away from us. The 3rd Regiment's order is for you to evacuate immediately."
Zhou Weiguo turned his head and glanced at them before scoffing, "They're pretty fast, but I'm not going to wait for them any longer." If I'm going to wait, it'll be for them to come and die.
After tugging at his uniform and putting on his helmet, Zhou Weiguo looked around the temporary command post.
The documents, which had been lying on the ground and were only half-burned, contained numerous expired telegrams. These telegrams were originally intended to be burned to prevent the Japanese from noticing anything amiss, thus allowing them to decipher the telegram's code.
But now, these things are just carelessly discarded on the ground.
"I'll be back sooner or later. Of course, I believe they'll be in a much worse state than I am then."
We can't hold on any longer, we absolutely can't hold on any longer.
The Northwest Army, the Guangxi Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Central Army temporarily mobilized were simply no match for the Japanese offensive.
The Fifth War Zone is undergoing a comprehensive contraction, and even the war zone command is secretly preparing to retreat if the enemy advances too quickly.
The preparations made by the authorities indirectly affected the local people, causing widespread panic. Wealthy families were already evacuating to the south, while ordinary people were preparing to migrate to the countryside. The once bustling streets were now filled with signs advertising shops for sale.
After finishing half of what was happening in the mountain city, Xiao Zhuge arrived here.
Sitting in the car, looking at the desolate scene and the street where fortifications were being built not far away, he said to Commander Li beside him, "Lord De, this time, you are about to make a big move."
"Yes, the Setani Detachment came down with heavy weapons. Once the Tang Army Group surrounds them, with the Tang Army Group's strength, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop their breakout. Wei Guo's idea is to continue to lure them in, making it seem like we can't resist them. Of course, because we're not a monolithic entity, things are in turmoil in the city now. It's relatively calm for you to come today. A couple of days ago, there were huge crowds of people evacuating, and the streets were completely impassable."
Leaning back slightly, Commander Li turned to look at him and asked, "Jiansheng, has the situation in Shancheng been resolved?"
"Those who should be killed have been killed. One or two places lost a third of their personnel. As for the General Staff, some of their equipment and logistics personnel have also been killed, and there are still some others."
Ha ha……
Commander Li chuckled twice; "Even with corruption reaching this level, some people still want to turn a blind eye. If Wei Guo hadn't directly exposed him this time, he probably would have continued like this."
“You’re right, it’s absolutely horrifying. I initially estimated that it would only take about 70,000 lives to end this, but now it’s no less than 100,000.”
Commander Li crossed his arms and said, "Good job killing them. That's how it should be done so that some people won't dare to even think about it again."
At a time of national crisis, how can we allow some petty people to undermine this already fragile foundation?
The two talked for a short while before arriving at the command post.
Upon entering the operations room, Commander Li grunted in agreement; "The plan has probably succeeded."
"How so?" Little Zhuge asked, not understanding.
Commander Li pointed to the map. "The Setani Detachment was here this morning, but now it has moved twenty kilometers south and has broken through the Sichuan Army Division's defenses."
After thinking for a while with his hands behind his back, Xiao Zhuge pointed to the map and said, "Judging from his speed of advance, he probably wants to join forces with the 114th Division to form a large military force and draw our forces away from southern Henan."
"Do you want things to blossom in the center?" After years of working together, Commander Li immediately knew what the plan was for the haphazardly piled-up items.
Little Zhuge nodded; "That's possible. They've already penetrated deep into our territory. The Japanese 10th Division and Independent Brigade are currently behind them, without even moving an inch. I think Xiangyue might be using this force as bait to lure us to transfer troops from other war zones."
"Will the crisis of the last Battle of Xuzhou be repeated?"
He really dared to think that back then, someone had acted rashly and transferred troops to the north, which almost led to him being surrounded by the Japanese army. But this time, the situation is completely different from last time. If he wants to repeat the situation last time, we'll have to see if Xiangyue's teeth are hard enough.
“Then let’s eat him before that happens.” Commander Li pointed to a spot; “This place is suitable as their burial ground.”
After glancing at the map, Little Zhuge nodded. "This place is indeed excellent, but Lord De, there's still a problem. If this problem isn't solved, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for us to conquer him."
