    As the vanguard of the 11th Division.  [.Com text] Due to the unclear situation, and most importantly, the unknown enemy situation, the division commander Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru was entrusted with the important task of personally commanding a mixed infantry and cavalry brigade as the leading force of the entire division with the honor of captain of the colonel.  Colonel Tetsu Asakawa, captain of the 44th Regiment, had taken off his bulky riding boots and was comfortably stretching his legs to soak in a basin of hot water heated by the orderlies, scalding his feet comfortably.

    Since we set off, we haven¡¯t stopped all the way.  After riding a horse for almost half a day and all night, and climbing the mountain road for most of the day, we rushed to Baoqing County without stopping all the way, but the captain was exhausted.

    What is even more difficult for the picky man to accept is that he can only eat the so-called grain essence along the way.  Those dry and hard biscuits were hard to swallow for Colonel Asakawa, who was used to enjoying them after becoming the captain of the company.  Seeing that the final target of Baoqing County was not far away, Colonel Asakawa, who finally felt a little relieved, immediately ordered a rest for an hour.

    Since the target is about to be reached and the division commander's strategic goal is about to be achieved, he naturally wants to comfort his bruised stomach that has been tortured by those damn military biscuits that are unpalatable.

    Just when Colonel Asakawa was about to take the delicious and hearty eel rice into his mouth, a burst of intense gunfire suddenly came.  Accompanied by the sudden burst of gunfire, several vehicles braved dense flames and threw grenades at the Japanese troops who were resting on both sides of the road. The speeding cars broke through his brigade and drove away in front of him.  .

    ????????????????????????????????????¡­

    As for the man who was excitedly preparing to taste his favorite eel rice, his head was almost blown open by a grenade dropped from the car that exploded next to him. Colonel Asakawa, who was caught off guard by the sudden attack, was  I almost choked on the eel rice I just stuffed into my mouth.

    When Colonel Asakawa finally got some relief after being slapped and beaten by the guards, he saw that he didn't even say hello, and then sped past him, and even threw it to a bunch of convoys that he couldn't accept gifts.  Then look at the subordinates who were staggering around because they were eating, and were blown up by bullets mixed with grenades without any precautions, killing and wounding all over the place.

    Angrily, he first gave Major Kasugosone, the captain of the cavalry squadron next to him, a big slap in the face, and said angrily: "Baga, are the vigilant eyes of your cavalry used to vent your anger? Where did these cars come from? You cavalry  They are just a bunch of losers, why don¡¯t you chase them after me?¡±

    Seeing the furious Colonel, his face was numb. Major Kasugosone pointed to a place not far away where the cavalry horses should have been tied up, but now there were only horse corpses. He said tremblingly: "Your Excellency, the Cavalry Squadron  I'm afraid we no longer have combat effectiveness. Let alone pursuit, the rest of the march can only be used as infantry. "

    "The opponent's convoy placed its main firepower on the cavalry squadron. More than thirty grenades just landed on the horses. You have seen the result now. Our horses have been put together and there are less than 30 grenades left.  Ten horses are impossible to pursue. "

    "The opponent's convoy appeared too suddenly and at an extremely fast speed. They rushed over before our sentry could issue an alarm. Not only did our sentinel fail to sound the alarm in time, but he was killed and injured many people.  ¡±

    Colonel Asakawa is not a mediocre person if he can climb up to the position of Captain of the Colonel Alliance.  The direction in which this convoy suddenly appeared was heading towards Baoqing County.  No matter how stupid he is, he still knows that the tactical intentions of the division commander have all been exposed.  If the delay continues and the opponent completes preparations, it will really turn from a surprise attack into a strong attack.

    Knowing that his whereabouts had definitely been exposed as soon as the convoy passed by, Colonel Asakawa, who did not dare to delay any longer, left a small number of troops to cover the wounded, commanded the rest of the troops to stop resting, and marched toward Baoqing County at a rapid march.  If he fails to complete the mission of surprise attack on Baoqing County as assigned by the division commander, the division commander will not be able to spare himself.

    Yang Zhen naturally wouldn¡¯t think about Colonel Asakawa¡¯s thoughts.  When the convoy rushed through the Japanese formation and arrived directly at Baoqing County without making any stops along the way, Yang Zhen saw Peng Shilu waiting for him at the gate of the city. He ignored the greetings and called him into the car and asked directly.  He said: "How are you, are you ready for battle?"

    Peng Shilu hurriedly said: "No. 1, after receiving the telegram from No. 3 last night, we have shrunk all our troops to the county seat, and have begun to use the original defenses to prepare for street fighting. At the same time,  , I have ordered all the houses on the street to be opened to each other, and holes have been drilled into the walls, and ammunition has been stored at each support point for five days in accordance with wartime standards. "

    In response to Peng Shilu's deployment, Yang Zhen shook his head and opened the map and said: "This won't work.Both regiments cannot be placed in the city, and only two battalions can be left in the city at most.  Baoqing County is not big, and can only accommodate more than one regiment of troops at most.  If all the troops are concentrated in the county town, the density is so high, how many people will be left after the Japanese artillery fire?  "

    "The total strength of your two regiments is actually only four and a half battalions. Even if you add one of my guard battalions, it is only five and a half battalions. Although the troops are not large, they are all concentrated in a small county town as big as a palm.  , this density is also quite large. Without taking advantage of firepower, how long can it last even if the entire army is exhausted?"

    "Only one regiment is left in the county to defend, and the other regiment relies on the county to fight every step of the way. You put two companies each in Jiaxinzi and Dongguan, and put the rest of the troops between them as a mobile force. You two  Except for a few infantry artillery companies and the 90th mortar company, the regiment does not have large-caliber artillery. If all the troops are gathered together, the Japanese army can only use artillery fire to consume them bit by bit. "

    "In addition, doesn't the headquarters store a batch of landmines in Baoqing? You have to use all the mines. I remember that Du Kaishan built a lot of defenses outside Baoqing County before the war. You must use them all.  . Rely on existing fortifications as much as possible.¡±

    "On my way here, I have already encountered the Japanese advance troops on the Hongshan front line. There is not much time left for you, so prepare immediately. You must complete the deployment adjustment before the Japanese advance troops arrive. No matter what,  You must also hold on for at least three days. This is a task assigned to you by the headquarters. "

    "You have to face the main force of the 11th Division this time, and you are under great pressure. Both in terms of troops and firepower, you are at an absolute disadvantage. I don't want any promises from you. I can only hope that you can complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters and provide  The main force will create opportunities for the next battle.¡±

    Having said this, Yang Zhen raised his head from the map and said with a serious expression: "Let me tell you the truth, your burden this time is quite heavy, and you must even be prepared to sacrifice the entire army if necessary. This  The 11th Division did not go as we expected, but took a slanted approach and invaded Baoqing territory alone. To be honest, we were caught off guard. "

    "Originally, according to the headquarters' battle plan, Baoqing County was prepared to abandon it when necessary in order to disperse the Japanese forces. If in the first stage, the Japanese army divided its forces and went north to capture Baoqing County, not only would we not get angry, but we would  I'm very happy. Because the more dispersed the Japanese troops are, the better it will be for our army."

    "But the current situation is different. The main force of our army is now concentrated on the southern front, and the base area is empty of troops. Once the Japanese army crosses Baoqing County and goes north deep into our base area, it will bring us unimaginable passivity. And  The first stage is different. After the 11th Division chose to go north instead of heading west, Baoqing County has now become the center point of the next overall operation. "

    "Securing Baoqing County and holding back the main force of the 11th Division from heading north. Our army's next battle plan can be launched smoothly. Before the main force adjusts its deployment, once Baoqing County is lost, not only will the door to our base be wide open,  And our army will be passive across the board.¡±

    "Although I do not advocate fighting a hard-fought battle to defend the enemy from outside the country. But under the current situation of empty troops in the base area, once the 11th Division is placed inside the base area, our losses will be too great.  Big. The most important thing is that our army will hand over all the initiative gained in the previous bloody battles. In future combat operations, it can only be led by the Japanese army and follow their intentions. "

    "Under the circumstances that other troops have been unable to arrive in time to replace you, and the initiative to maintain the battle must not change hands, we can only pull you up who have been resting and have no combat missions. There is no way. I hope  You can understand.¡±

    "Sacrifice the local area for the overall situation. Although the headquarters is unwilling to do it, there is no other way at the moment. But don't worry, I will be sitting here these days and will not go there. I will accompany you to stick to these three  sky."

    Hearing Yang Zhen's desperate words and looking at Yang Zhen's serious expression, Peng Shilu said without any hesitation: "No. 1, please rest assured and the head of the headquarters, I will fight to the death at all costs.  A soldier will also complete the tasks assigned by the headquarters."

    "But one thing is, you must not stay here. The situation is critical and you must leave. Even if we shed the last drop of blood, we will drag the Japanese army in Baoqing County for three days. But No. 1, you are the highest ranking officer in the entire army.  Military commander. Your battlefield is not just in Baoqing. I ask you to rest assured that we will complete the mission. But No. 1, you really can¡¯t stay here.¡±

    Hearing Peng Shilu's eager tone, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "I told you, I won't go there and will just wait here. You go and hurry up and prepare. There won't be too much time left for you. Pay attentionMaintain a certain reserve team and master the rhythm of the battle.  The military strength is at a disadvantage, and the initiative in the battle can be given to the Japanese army.  But the rhythm on the battlefield must be controlled by us.  "

    Yang Zhen was resolute, knowing that he could not be persuaded, and Peng Shilu, who had little time left to prepare, had to hurriedly tell the company commander of Yang Zhen's personal guard company and the driver Lao Lin. Don't wait for the city defense to be breached, as long as  Once the two outer frontier positions of Jiaxinzi and Backer were lost, No. 1 would have to be forcibly sent out even if they were knocked unconscious.  He hurried over to adjust the deployment.
