Is it early to retreat now?" Tokuyong took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions and asked in confusion: "The Kanto Army will not arrive for thirty days. Once it is divided and surrounded, the troops will be in danger."

This is a very practical problem. Once the entire battle situation evolves to the point where Pingjin is divided and surrounded, then he can only be completely passively beaten. Although the Chinese army has not yet attacked a heavily guarded city, with the combat effectiveness they have shown at present, neither Tanishou nor Yokoyama Yokogami dares to say that they are fully confident in defending the city.

In addition to this reason, there is another important reason. "Pingjin was divided and surrounded, and the Chinese army was to fight and leave, so they could do whatever they wanted. Even if the Kwantung Army entered the pass, it would be difficult to capture the Chinese army and force them to fight to the decisive battle in order to severely damage the Chinese army and then force the Chinese army to seek peace.

Tokunaga's rhetoric asked silently, and Okamura Yasuke, and Okamura Yasuke never made any statement. "The Masatoshima seems to be inspired." He took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Excellency, the purpose of the Chinese army is to divide and surround Hiratsu. If they are allowed to achieve their strategic goals, the Imperial Army will definitely fail." Aige and the Masatoshima smiled bitterly, and these words of Masatoshima make some sense. "The ** team attacked Gu'an Langfang with a strong purpose to divide Beijing Tianjin. The withdrawal was undoubtedly to allow the Chinese army to achieve its strategic goal smoothly.

"Relocate the staff, what is your strategy?" Okamura Yasuji did not look back, but still looked at the map.

"It is recommended that the Fifth Division and the 2nd Division be mobilized, and together with the 132nd Division and the 1st Division" and the Third Brigade of the Tanks, counterattack in the direction of Gu'an." Qian Zhengxin did not retreat and loudly proposed his plan.

Aichi frowned slightly: "It's not appropriate to use the reserve team so quickly."

The Fifth Division, the Second Division, the 10th Division, and the three chariot divisions gathered in the Miyun area of ​​Huairou, are reserved reserves. They have to use the reserves in just two days, which is a taboo in military strategists.

"Without using the reserve force, the 10th Division and the three chariot divisions still did not move." Qian Zhengxin retorted: "In addition, the 19th Division and 116th Division can be drawn to Huairou to gather, leaving the 125th Division and the 15th Mixed Brigade to protect the transportation line between Zhangjiakou, Peking."

Okamura Yasuji turned around and looked at his face. There was no expression on his thin face. "It was impossible to see whether he agreed or opposed it. At this time, Rikio Nobusuke spoke: "No, no, the three divisions here are mobile troops, in addition to maintaining traffic." Once Zhangjiakou has something to do, they also have the task of supporting Zhangjiakou. It is not possible to rely solely on the 125th Division and the 15th Mixed Brigade."

Qian Zhengxin retorted without hesitation: "The battle situation in Zhangjiakou is stable, and General Jimu has repelled the attack of the Chinese army." The strength of the Chinese army on the northern front is far inferior to that of the southern front. Even if Zhangjiakou is attacked, General Jimu will definitely be able to clean up the situation and block the Chinese army."

The Zhangjiakou battle started today, and the 〖China〗** team was in a state of great momentum. The 86th Army and Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army attacked along the Datong Zhangjiakou Railway, one left and one right, and fought fiercely with the 129th Division of the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army at the Chaigoubao, Tianzhen, and Yanggao.

"The battle in Zhangjiakou has just begun, so it is too early to make an assertion now." Dacheng shook his head and said, "There are two troops currently discovered by the Chinese army on the front line, and the total strength is twice that of Jimu. According to the information, there are a large number of troops in the subsequent period, and the Jinsui Army alone has two armies, and the situation of the war is still unclear.

"Okay" No need to fight anymore, you see..." Okamura Yiji stopped the relocation of the Masato, picked up the command pole and slashed the west bank of Baihegou on the sand: "The Fifth Chinese Army conquered Nanyao, Baita, and the east bank of Baihegou. China surrounded Cao's housework, and here, a huge gap was formed. The Chinese General would not not see this gap. According to my understanding, the Fifth Army should have attacked westward or continued to attack Diaowo." But he did not, but stopped strangely. What was this for?

Oshiro Takanosuke Tokushi Nagato was all in deep thought. Takanosuke frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "Will he go to Gu'an from the north to cross the Shirakawagou?" No, if so, I can gather troops in the Peking area and launch a counterattack on his flank."

"Yes," Aichi nodded, saying: "If we assemble three or four divisions, plus two chariot divisions, and counterattack, we can completely defeat the Fifth Army. This is too bold, too bold."

The Great City murmured to himself, "It was a bit incredible. Such a risky move was always known for his cautiousness. He did not believe it would be like this.

Rikio Nosuke and Tokunaga did not believe it. This action was indeed crazy, completely ignoring the heavy army group that the Japanese army gathered in Peking. Once the Japanese army launched a counterattack, it was very likely to defeat the Fifth Army in one fell swoop.

Qian Zhengxin believed that "the Chinese general has always been arrogant" and once this move is successful, Gu'an will fall into the siege of the Chinese army, the entire front will be cut off, and Langfang will be in danger. In this way, the strategic attempt to divide and surround Peking and Tianjin was realized.

"Yes," Okamura nodded in agreement: "But this is just my judgment." Will he do this? For this reason, the 132nd Division and the 16th Division approached Wuqing, and the 19th Division drove to Beiping overnight, and ordered the order to arrive before tomorrow and tomorrow. The 4th Chariot Division of the Third Chariot Division of the Second Chariot Division, the 5th Division, and the 10th Division, immediately headed to Tongzhou and assembled near Tongzhou. The command of the Third Chief of Staff of Atsushi Seizure, and moved to the staff. You immediately rushed to Daxing. The 56th Division will assist the commander of the Songshan Division. The 8th Division will be transferred to Songshan and command the general."

Ritsunosuke was slightly shocked. Okamura Yanji was very brave enough. He first used two divisions to strengthen Tianjin's defense, and then transferred two infantry divisions from the reserves. He drew one division from the line of protecting the Beijing-Zhangjiakou traffic, and two elite divisions from the city of Peking to form five infantry divisions and two combat chariot divisions, with more than 70,000 troops and more than 600 tank attack groups.

"Your Excellency, such a large-scale mobilization is difficult to hide." Aichi immediately reminded.

After the Battle of Pingjin began, a large number of guerrillas suddenly appeared in the calm areas. They hid underground like mice. When you were not paying attention, they rushed out and bite you, and then retracted. Or they guided the Chinese Air Force to "bomb the Imperial Army ammunition depot, convoy, and force assembly areas through the radio. Such a large-scale military movement cannot be hidden from their eyes.

Okamura Uji smiled coldly" waved his hand indifferently, letting them execute immediately.

The picture shows the truth. This is a battle of determination between the two commanders.

There was a huge gap in the middle line, Okamura should have sent troops to fight back, and Zhuang Jihua was also waiting for him to fight back. But Okamura just ignored it; so Zhuang Jihua told him that if you don’t move, I dare not care about your heavy army group and detour in Gu'an; Okamura Nishi was not polite, "If you dare to detour, I will strike your flanks.

Silent dialogue, in invisible places, through the endless void, ask each other, do you dare?

This is a contest of the will of the commander," it is a contest of the commander's courage, and a contest of the commander's art of wielding the stick.

In a deeper level, it is the "competition between the Chinese and Japanese armies from commander to soldiers, to see who executes the orders more resolutely" whether it is the soldiers raised by the loess land or the soldiers baptized by the sea on the island more tenacious.

Under the night sky, "lights of fire illuminate the earth, and soldiers huddled in trenches, wrapped tightly in coats" to resist the cold wind from the wilderness. The senior generals were busy in the command center, staring with blood-filled eyes to find the other party's weakness.

On the highway, the headlights flashed, and the long convoy stretched out for more than ten miles. In the fields, the Japanese infantry divided into more than ten routes, crossing the fields east of Beiping like locusts," hurried to the south.

There was a gentle engine sound from the sky. Three gunshots were heard. The entire convoy turned off the headlights, all the torches in the wilderness were extinguished, and the whole earth turned into darkness. The sound of the engine became louder and louder, and the convoy on the ground drove forward carefully. The plane seemed to be about to cross, and two red signal flares suddenly rose from the grass on the ground. Then a figure stood up and ran desperately into the woods. Under the moonlight, the sabers reflected the cold light, and the cavalry quickly chased after them.

The sky suddenly became brighter, and dozens of flares floated in the sky, illuminating the ground. The dive bomber dived down with a fierce roar. A series of explosions sounded, "One burned on the road."

Anti-aircraft guns that were marching with the convoy began to shoot into the air, and the temporary air defense forces formed by the troops shot into the air, but this only eased a little. The Chinese Air Force continued to bomb for half an hour before leaving. Seven or eight trucks were burning on the road, and soldiers scattered in the wilderness regrouped on the road.

"Hurry up, speed up!"

Cao Chang's harsh urging sound came from his ears. Watanabe Masasaburo panted. The 38 rifle on his shoulder became heavier and heavier, and his panting became louder and louder.

Suddenly, the gun was taken away by someone. He turned his head to see. However, it was Cao Hasegumo who took his rifle to his shoulder, "Pay attention to speed and keep up." Gu Ben shouted loudly, then shook his leap forward.

Guben looked down on these new recruits. The new recruits only took four months to enter. The troops suffered heavy losses in the battle in Liaocheng. Veterans who had years of combat experience fell on the bloody road of retreating from Liaocheng. These new recruits and those veterans were like a master of the eighth sword rank and an intern who had just started practicing swordsmanship. They were not comparable at all.

The recruits could not run anymore, and more and more fell behind. Finally, the order to rest came from the front. "Guben could not rest. He had to gather his squad. The troops lost too many officers, and he, Chief Cao, also commanded a squad.

Watanabe and many soldiers were lying in the snow and gasping. Kumobi ordered them to get up and not sit down. "After a long march, it would be easy to catch a cold after lying on the snow. He didn't want to lose a lot of troops before the battle began.

Ten minutes later, the order came down again. "The troops continued to advance, and the sky became much quieter." The Chinese Air Force did not seem to come again, and I don't know if it was really not coming again, but it was only temporarily. Guben prayed in his heart, hoping that they would not come again...!~!
