Chapter 423: Retreat 200 Miles

At this moment, the sun was already westward. In another hour or two, the night was about to fall. The 63rd Army retreated continuously and retreated westward. The 5th Division of the Japanese army did not restrain its edge. The four infantry companies under its jurisdiction, the 11th, 12th, 21th, and 22nd Regiments, conquering and attacking them all the way through various passes, fortresses, towns and villages. The speed was so fast that it was shocking.

Baima Mountain.

Brigade Department of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Ouyang and others all sat in the command center to closely monitor the updates of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army.

October 20, 1938, at 6:30 pm.

"Report~~~~~~!"

"The 12th Regiment of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army conquered from south to north, and successively captured Lantian Town, Puqian Town, Linjiang Town, Sanyakou Town, and Qu Fuzhong. At 6:20 pm that day, he arrived in Heyuan City. Without any resistance, he easily captured the entire Heyuan city."

7 p.m.

"Report~~~~~~!"

"Report to the brigade commander, the 11th Japanese Army Regiment, attacked quickly from west to east, and successively captured Yetan Town, Yigu Town, Kanghe Town, and Baipu Town. They arrived in Pingling Town at 7:10 pm that day."

8 pm.

"Report~~~~~~!"

"The 21st Japanese Army Regiment attacked from north to south, forming a sweeping force. Within 2 hours, it captured 6 towns and 19 villages including Dingta Town, Shuangjiang Town, and has arrived in Baitang Town."

9 p.m.

"Report~~~~~~~!"

"The 22nd Japanese Regiment also defeated the forces of the three regiments of the 63rd Army in succession at 9 p.m. that day and arrived in Heyuan City."

October 20, 1938, at 9:30 pm.

The 5th Japanese Division completely captured the entire territory of Heyuan, Guangdong, and stopped fighting.

"Hiss~~~~!"

During this period of more than three hours, Ouyang and others took a breath after listening to this series of information.

quick!

Too fast!

The speed of the Japanese 5th Division conquered was extraordinary!

It's faster than everyone imagines!

Li Yunlong exclaimed: "It's only been less than 5 hours. The Japanese Japanese actually took down the entire territory of Heyuan. The speed is so fast, it's more than ten hours faster than the expected 8 am tomorrow!"

Jiang Daya also said anxiously: "Have this dog taken drugs every day? I have never seen this speed of conquest in my life!"

Deputy Brigade Commander Liu Tongluo said: "It's just the beginning now that the Japanese are fighting so hard, so it will definitely be difficult for us to fight next!"

In the original plan, the 63rd Army withdrew from Heyuan only part of it, tearing a hole in the main line of defense and putting part of the Japanese who were eager to win, but everyone obviously underestimated the strength of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army and its appetite.

Now, the Japanese army not only forcibly broke through one hole, but also drove all the defeated 63rd Army out of Heyuan, and at the same time swallowed the entire territory of Heyuan.

The development of the situation exceeded everyone's expectations from the beginning!

Ouyang quickly pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "The combat effectiveness of the Japanese 5th Division is indeed extraordinary and its attack speed is beyond our expectations, but fortunately it is still within the range we can accept. At least until 6 o'clock tomorrow during the day, the Japanese army will still be in vain for more than 8 hours."

Political Commissar Zhao Gang nodded and echoed: "Yes, at least it will be peaceful tonight, which is enough for the 63rd Army to get rid of the Japanese pursuit."

All the Heyuan was lost. Although everyone felt uncomfortable, they were still acceptable.

Fortunately, the Japanese army was busy conquering Heyuan's land and did not pursue the retreating country's 63rd Army, preserving the living power of the 63rd Army and providing conditions for the subsequent battle.

Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao said in a deep voice: "Then next, let's compare the map and the positions of each unit of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, and then analyze the Japanese army's subsequent offensive actions."

"Um!"

Li Yunlong and others nodded to express their agreement.

"Wait a moment!"

Ouyang called out a pause and shouted to the outside of the command center: "Ma Jiujin, bring a few people to bring the big guy I made over."

"Yes, brigade commander!"

Ma Jiujin responded loudly and left in a flash.

Upon hearing this, Kong Jie, deputy commander of the 885th Regiment, smiled and said, "Brig Commander, what good things have you made? It's so mysterious."

"hehe!"

Ouyang smiled, "It's nothing, it's just a simple sand table for our next battlefield before."

Soon, Ma Jiujin and Shunliu and others carried a huge sand table similar to a pool table and entered the command center.

For a time, the entire section of the terrain and landform from Heyuan to Guangzhou was presented to everyone.

Although the map is good, it is not intuitive enough. For this reason, Ouyang specially used his "God of Map" skill to create a large sand table.

Seeing such a fine sand table, everyone present was amazed!

Kong Jie gave Ouyang a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Brig Commander, let alone your ability to make sand tables, let alone our Eighth Route Army, even if you add the talented people in the National Army, you can't find one."

Li Da also praised his abilities, "Kong Erlangzi, how can we brag about our brigade commander? When have you ever seen Zhuge Liang brag about it? In my opinion, our brigade commander's skills are not inferior to Zhuge Kongming at all."

"Okay, don't put a high hat on me anymore, or it's important to be a serious matter."

Ouyang stopped the boasting of the two of them and immediately said to someone: "Since the Japanese army has taken over the entire territory of Heyuan, then for the Japanese, they have two choices. One is to start directly from Heyuan and head straight to Guangzhou from east to west; the other is to choose from north to south, and to start from the 62nd Army and the 64th Army in Huizhou first."

"Two of these options are extremely feasible!"

After Ouyang finished speaking, he calmed down and looked at everyone.

Although the initial version of the plan to siege and kill the Japanese army was formulated by everyone, after Ouyang arrived in Guangzhou to attend the meeting of the 12th Army, some of the links were greatly modified.

Mainly, he joined the tens of thousands of Guangdong troops who retreated from the Wuhan battlefield.

There were too many people participating in the war, so of course the plan had been revised, which was inevitable.

Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao said, "Brig Commander, our top priority is to make a decision for the Japanese, so that the Japanese will give up the attempt to go south to attack Huizhou, and let him follow the script we have formulated."

"Um!"

Ouyang nodded and said, "This is certain. If the Japanese want to give up attacking Huizhou and instead attack Guangzhou directly, they must give enough sweetness to the Japanese."

Sweetness?

Many people began to ponder.

What sweetness?

Ouyang continued: "Huizhou has the strength of the Guangdong Army, and it has the advantage of the terrain. Even if the Japanese 5th Division, 18th Division and 104th Division work together to attack, it is absolutely impossible to eat it in one bite without three or five days."

"And we can take advantage of the Japanese army's mentality of eagerness to win and eager to take over Guangzhou to make a fuss and give the Japanese a sweet spot and make the Japanese 5th Division feel that it is more beneficial to directly attack Guangzhou. The key point is one, that is, fraudulent defeat!"

Sweetness = fraud?

Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao suddenly realized and said, "Brig Commander, what you mean is to use the successive retreats of ** to enhance the confidence of the Japanese army in the rapid conquest of Guangzhou."

"That's right!"

Ouyang said in a deep voice: "That's true, hasn't the 63rd Army just evacuated Heyuan? Then when the 63rd Army will counterattack the Japanese again tomorrow morning. According to the Japanese's urinary nature, they will inevitably be furious and will definitely lead their troops to pursue the 63rd Army. Once the Japanese attack comes, the 63rd Army will retreat quickly, fight and retreat, and lead the Japanese to completely attract them!"

Political Commissar Zhao Gang suddenly asked: "It is a good idea to cheat and lose, but I want to ask, where is the position to retreat? If you defeat all the way to Guangzhou City, it will be completely over."

Ouyang immediately replied: "Heyuan is 200 kilometers away from Guangzhou, which is 400 miles. If the Japanese 5th Division completely abandons its attempt to attack Huizhou, then the national army must retreat at least 200 miles and lead the Japanese to Baishiling."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Only by defeating all the way and being defeated quickly can the 5th Division of the Japanese army completely give up the attempt to go south to Huizhou. At the same time, the rapid defeat can also lengthen the Japanese army's front line.

Only by stretching the front line of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army long enough to last hundreds of miles can the Japanese army be dispersed to the greatest extent and create possibilities for the Chinese army to annihilate them.

If the Japanese army in a division gathered together, let alone China this time, the army has 90,000 people, and even 150,000 people, you won’t even think of taking them down.

During the Battle of Lanfeng in May 1938, Xue Yue assembled 12 divisions to besiege the Japanese Tufeiyuan Division, with a total strength of 10 times that of the Japanese army. However, because the strategic space was not large enough, the Japanese army was not separated, so that the Japanese could reinforce each other at any time. In the end, it took half a month and was not completely annihilated.

Now Ouyang and others are going to use the extremely vast strategic space to cut the Japanese army on a 200-kilometer land, and our army attacks from all directions and attacks from multiple points, completely disrupting the rhythm of the Japanese army and preventing them from reinforce each other, so that they can win!

The meeting lasted until 11 pm and ended.

Finally, Ouyang smiled and said, "Okay, everyone has worked hard these days. Let's go to bed early tonight. In the next few days, we just want to sleep, and we probably don't have time."

Soon, everyone dispersed.

Ouyang also planned to take a break first, but at this moment, Ye Cunxin walked in and said, "Brig Commander Zhang Mazi, Master Tang, Chen Shen, Lan Yanzhi and others want to see you."

Hearing this, Ouyang immediately slapped his forehead, looked at Ye Cunxin with a little apology and said, "Look, after leaving Guangzhou, I went straight to Heyuan. After returning from Heyuan, I was busy with the Japanese devils again. I really forgot about them. I guess they must be anxious."

Ye Cunxin also chuckled, "You know they are anxious. Think about me and Shunliu, and took them to Baima Mountain in the afternoon. You told us to arrange them personally, and at the same time, they also wanted them to guarantee this. But after you came back, you forgot them directly. How could they not be in a hurry after most of the day?"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'll go with you right away and settle them down."

Ouyang Lianlian said.

Suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed in my mind.

I'm fucking!

I seem to forget Dwayne Johnson too?
