787 The Action of the Devil's Base Camp
Just as Ye Qingshan was waiting for the reinforcements that the Japanese might send from the sea to appear.
At the same time, at the Japanese 40th Army Headquarters, the old Japanese soldier Anami Korechika was looking at the telegram for help sent by the Japanese th Division.
His face was gloomy.
The commander of the Japanese 40th Division, Aoki Jōichi, told the old Japanese Anami Korechi in a telegram that if they still didn't get support.
They might not last more than five days before being eaten by Ye Qingshan's troops.
In particular, the passage to Nanxiong has not been opened so far.
Aoki Chengyi hopes to take over Nanxiong within two days.
Because two days later, Aoki Shiroichi estimated that the main force of his division might be able to retreat to the Nanxiong area.
By then, that would be their division’s last chance to break out.
Behind them at this time, there were sixty to seventy thousand of Ye Qingshan's elite troops.
In fact, Aoki Chengyi completely exaggerated the number of troops Ye Qingshan sent to attack them.
The two elite troops sent by Ye Qingshan, the First Division and the Second Division, had a total of only 30,000 people.
But at this time, the old Japanese soldier in Aoki City could no longer care about so many things.
He wanted to report to Anami Korechika that there were 100,000 people.
Only by describing the situation of their division as more dire, will they be able to get more support.
As for the old Japanese, Anan Korechika is naturally not easy to fool.
Although he knew that Aoki Chengyi had exaggerated the number of troops Ye Qingshan sent to attack them in the telegram.
However, there is one thing that Aoki Shiroichi did not exaggerate.
That is, at this time, their division was really facing the danger of being wiped out by Ye Qingshan.
It was just because the old Japanese soldier Anami Korechika had received a telegram from the Sixth Division a few hours ago.
It was learned that the cavalry regiment sent by the Sixth Division to capture Nanxiong was defeated.
At this moment, Nanxiong is still in the hands of Ye Qingshan's subordinates.
Even the old devil Anami Korechika didn't dare to tell Aoki Shiro about this news.
He was worried that once the news reached the 40th Division, including Aoki Shiroichi and other high-ranking officers of the 40th Division.
Will collapse directly.
You know, the cavalry regiment of the Sixth Division is not a traditional cavalry regiment.
They were actually a motorized regiment, and they brought a lot of artillery and anti-tank guns.
Under such circumstances, not only did they fail to recapture Nanxiong, the only node on the 40th Division's retreat route.
Unexpectedly, within two days, they were defeated by the two battalion-level units under Ye Qingshan's command that were stationed there.
Although, these two battalion-level units are a bit special, they are the most elite troops under Ye Qingshan.
But after all, there were only about a thousand people. How could they defeat the cavalry regiment of the Sixth Division?
When the old Japanese soldier Anami Korechika first received the news, he found it hard to accept.
In the past, the cavalry regiment of the Sixth Division could fight on equal terms with an elite division of the National Army’s Central Army.
"Baga, this is really weird.
Why is it that such incredible things always happen when our imperial army encounters Ye Qingshan?
Could it be that Ye Qingshan is really..."
A Japanese colonel next to the old Japanese Anami Korechika was also unable to understand the defeat of the 6th Division Cavalry Regiment.
Talking to himself there.
But when it comes to the end, stop immediately.
He didn't dare to say the last four words, 'Imperial Curse', here.
Unfortunately, the words of this Japanese colonel were still heard by the old Japanese named Anami Korechika who was not far away.
This directly made the Japanese very angry.
He didn't expect that some of his subordinates actually started to believe this.
It would be fine if he was just an ordinary soldier, but he is actually a colonel.
This is simply terrible.
Anan Weiji was so angry that he turned around and rushed to the Japanese colonel and slapped him in the face.
"Baga, baga, I'll stop you from talking nonsense."
clap clap clap!
There were more than a dozen loud slaps.
The Japanese colonel was stunned, but he didn't dare to fight back and had to stand up straight.
He was obediently slapped in the face by the old devil Anami Korechika.
After Anan Weiji slapped the old Japanese colonel enough, the Japanese colonel had become a pig's head.
"If I hear you say this kind of nonsense again,
Next time, it won’t be a slap in the face.
You should just commit suicide and apologize."
The old Japanese soldier Anami Korechika stared at the Japanese colonel in front of him who had turned into a pig's head, and said in a cold voice.
"Hi!"
The Japanese colonel nodded vigorously with a pig head.
In his mind, he cursed all of Anan Weiji's ancestors.
The other Japanese officers and generals around were all frightened when they saw this scene.
No one dared to speak casually anymore.
After a moment, Anami Korechika said, “Send a telegram to Aoki Joichi.
Tell him to continue retreating to Nanxiong according to the plan.
As for Nanxiong, they need to open up the connection themselves.
The Third Division is currently entangled by Xue Yue's 100,000 elite troops and is unable to move south to reinforce them.
The Sixth Division was also blocked by the Chinese and was unable to join them.
Now, the only one who can save them is themselves.
Next, I will ask the Air Force to drop a batch of special cigarettes into Nanxiong.
That's all I can do for their division.
If they still can't break out by then, the worst will happen.
Then let him lead his division and all the imperial warriors to serve the empire and His Majesty with loyalty."
After this telegram was sent to the Japanese 40th Division, an old Japanese soldier in Aoki City staggered after reading it.
Almost fell down.
He knew that the most dangerous moment for their division had arrived.
Even their headquarters could only give them some special tobacco support in the end.
The rest is up to them.
On Anami Korechika's side, after sending a telegram to Aoki Shiroichi's 40th Division, he also notified the th Division.
"Tell the Sixth Division to take care of their retreat.
Be careful, Xue Yue might send troops south from southern Hunan to repeat Ye Qingshan's sneak attack on Nanxiong.
This move is to block the 40th Division's retreat route.
Tell Shiro Inaba that the 40th Division may not be able to break out.
But their division must not allow any more accidents, so let them attack for two more days.
If after two days, they still cannot break through the Chinese Army's blockade and cannot join the 40th Division.
Then let their division withdraw northward immediately, and bring the 9th Mixed Brigade to join us in southern Jiangxi."
This time, Anami Korechika was really scared.
Since the 40th Division is beyond saving, we cannot let the th Division be involved as well.
If their 11th Army was annihilated by Ye Qingshan at the same time in northern Guangdong this time, along with its two main divisions.
After that battle, their 11th Army was in name only and could be disbanded.
By then, even he, the commander, would have to commit disembowelment and apologize.
As for whether Xue Yue would secretly send troops south?
Is there any need to ask? Of course I dare.
Look at this time, Xue Yue mobilized more than 100,000 elite troops under his command, and now he is fighting against the Third Division, the most powerful division of their 11th Army.
The fighting is in full swing at the border between Hunan and Jiangxi.
Moreover, based on his observations over the past two days, he knew that this time the offensive intensity of the main force of the Central Army commanded by Xue Yue was very strong.
They were even more ferocious than they were before on the battlefield in western Hunan.
Otherwise, their Third Division of more than 30,000 elite troops would not have been unable to withdraw any reinforcements to the south.
At this moment, the fighting between the two sides was very fierce.
Even the Japanese Third Division could not be distracted.
Anami Korechika looked at the large map in the headquarters and became more and more upset. He had never expected that this battle would turn out like this.
"Baga, what the hell is going on at the base camp?
Why don't you give us reinforcements and let us retreat immediately?
The headquarters obviously wants our 11th Army to delay time here.
But what’s the point?”
Anami Korechika was very upset. He could no longer figure out the intentions of the top brass at their domestic headquarters.
That’s right, just last night, Anami Korechika received a secret message from their headquarters in the country.
The top brass at the Japanese headquarters knew that Anami Korechika had always wanted to withdraw his troops.
But this time, the top leaders of the Japanese headquarters slowed down the implementation of his retreat plan.
As for why, the base camp has not yet said.
Fortunately, Anami Korechika had no chance to retreat for the time being.
The situation in northern Guangdong is no longer the same as it was a week ago when he first began to think about withdrawing his troops.
At this moment, unless they immediately abandon Aoki Chengyi's 40th Division and let Ye Qingshan eat these more than Japanese devils.
They immediately withdrew to northern Jiangxi and joined the Japanese there.
If that's the case, even Xue Yue and Ye Qingshan won't be able to stop them.
But now, all the Japanese, including Anami Korechika himself, still want to fight for it one last time.
It would be best to preserve Aoki Jyouichi's 40th Division.
Therefore, it was impossible for their 11th Army to withdraw immediately at this moment.
So, Anan and a few other old devils carried out the delaying tactics of the base camp.
But he couldn't figure out why the base camp was delayed.
However, after pondering for a moment, Anami Korechika turned his gaze to the sea in the south.
This was the only possibility he could think of.
"Baga, the headquarters wouldn't want the navy to send those idiots to support that idiot Tanaka Kyuichi from the sea.
So as to stab Ye Qingshan in the back."
Seeing this, Anami Korechika's eyes suddenly lit up.
If the headquarters can really be mobilized, the navy's fleet of idiots will once again support their army.
The 23rd Army really landed in the southern waters of Guangdong Province and rescued Tanaka Hisaichi who was trapped in Yangcheng.
By then, we will be able to defeat the troops left by Ye Qingshan in the Yangcheng area.
Then they headed north and attacked the rear of Ye Qingshan's 42nd Army, delivering a fatal blow.
The probability of success of this plan is still very high.
Anami Korechika concluded that the base camp would most likely do so, and he believed in his own judgment.
"Baga, I didn't expect that.
Tanaka Kyuichi is a very lucky guy.
In this situation, he was able to fight back.
I may need that idiot to lead the army to support me in the end.
It’s so ironic.”
Anami Korechika laughed at himself. He had always looked down on that guy Tanaka Kyuichi.
But this time, to solve their predicament in northern Guangdong, they might really need his help.
Soon, a new telegram sent from the Japanese headquarters confirmed the guess of the old Japanese Anami Korechika.
