Chapter 682: Abandoning the Wounded
At the same time, the enemy command center was in front of the Battle of Xiaogan in Tumiao Village.
The victory and defeat have been decided, and there is no suspense in the battle of Xiaogan's encirclement and annihilation!
Wu Yizhi said to Zhang Lingfu awkwardly: "Zhong Lin, it seems you are right! Although the casualties of the 74th Army in this general attack were a little severe, objectively, it led Li Pinxian's 11th Army and Sun Lianzhong's Second Army to launch a general attack on Xinpu Town and Zhuzhan Town, which is why the current favorable situation is now!"
At this time, if Zhang Lingfu knows how to be a human being, he would definitely let it go easily.
In any case, Wu Yizhi is Zhang Lingfu's immediate boss, so he still has to give the face he deserves.
But Zhang Lingfu did not do this, but smiled and said, "Chief Staff Wu, as a commander, sometimes he really cannot be too concerned about casualties. It is said that he is not in charge of soldiers, right?"
Wu Yizhi's face immediately turned dark. Zhang Lingfu, what are you? A junior, who also talks to me with a lesson tone? It's simply arrogant!
Xue Yue's face next to him was also not good-looking.
This guy Zhang Lingfu is really too arrogant!
However, Xue Yue was not in the mood to argue with Zhang Lingfu now, and said with a dark face: "Although the overall situation of the Xiaogan encirclement and annihilation battle has been decided, we must still beware of the Japanese army breaking through again from Xiaogan, and immediately send a message to the Third Corps, so that the subsequent 55th Army and the 87th Army do not have to come to Xiaogan again, but let him move from Yunwu Mountain and Yangjiao Mountain!"
Wu Yizhi said: "Is the commander-in-chief worried that Japan will break out from this direction?"
"Yeah!" Xue Yue nodded and said, "I have studied it again and again. If the Japanese army chooses to break through from Xiaogan again, there is only Yunwu Mountain and Yangjiao Mountain in this direction. So we must prepare for the future and block this gap first. In short, just one sentence, this will never allow a Japanese to leave Hubei's boundary alive!"
"I understand!" Wu Yizhi stood at attention, and Zhang Lingfu quickly straightened his chest.
...
At the same time, in Xiaogan.
Not long after the loss of Minji Town, Xinpu Town and Zhuchang Town also fell one after another!
The Zhong* team rushed over from three directions and was like crazy. As soon as they arrived, they put all their troops into operation and launched a desperate attack!
Who can handle this way? No one can handle it!
After breaking through the Japanese army's outer defense line, ** did not rest because it was dark, but continued to advance quickly towards Xiaogan from three directions, and was in a state of stamina to eliminate the Second Army.
Looking at the map, Yoshio Shinozuka felt the blackness in front of her.
At this point, the Second Army has been defeated, and it is already a delusion to turn defeat into victory!
The only remaining suspense now is that the Second Army will not be completely wiped out by the Central Team?
If the Second Army is eventually wiped out, not only him, Shinozuka Yoshio, but also the entire Second Army and even several divisions to which it belongs will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!
Thinking of this, Yoshino Shinozuka was so angry that he was so angry!
Before leaving, Ogisuke and Fujie Etsuki, two idiots, promised him that they would defend the outer defense line, but how long has it been since then? The outer defense line collapsed!
Not only Ogisu Ribuki and Fujie Keisuke, but also Machijiri Oki failed to defend Zhuchang Town!
But what can I do if I get angry again? Now that things have come to this point, I can only try my best to remedy it!
It is definitely not enough to continue to guard Xiaogan. Since there is no time to build fortifications and even time to organize personnel, how can you protect Xiaogan in this case?
So we can only choose to break through again!
But, in which direction should we break through?
Just as Yoshio Shinozuka chose the breakout route facing the map, the dike Bubuqi hurried over.
Although Yoshio Shinozuka has been temporarily appointed as the commander of the Second Army by the Central China Front Army Command, he still serves as the commander of the 10th Division.
"Teacher Commander!" Dibugu said, "The Front Command's emergency telegram!"
Yoshio Shinozuka continued to wander on the map, saying, "Ignore!"
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused again and said, "Second Army: When you order your troops to immediately break through to Yunwu Mountain and Yangjiao Mountain! This order is the headquarters of the Central China Front Army!"
Hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately rolled up the map again.
Because he found that the orders of the Central China Front Army Command were correct!
At present, their second army can only break through from Yunwu Mountain and Yangjiao Mountain in the northeast!
At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the tide not to be tied to the tide and said, "If you don't be tied to the tide, immediately notify all divisions and direct corpses to throw away all unnecessary supplies, speed up the packing, and the entire army will set off overnight in a quarter of an hour!"
"Hayi!" Dibuguqi bowed his head again, but the man still stood there and did not leave.
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned and asked, "Do you don't have any problems?"
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused his head again and said, "Teacher Commander, throw away the baggage, what should the wounded do?"
When he heard this, Yoshio Shinozuka's brows immediately frowned. Yes, the baggage can be thrown away, what should the wounded do?
When we retreated from Hankou yesterday, we could march along the road and railway, so the trucks and carriages of their Second Army could be used, but this time we broke through the siege was not possible!
This time, we will go through Yunwu Mountain and Yangjiao Mountain. Not to mention trucks or carriages will never pass!
At this time, more than 40,000 wounded people brought back from the Hankou battlefield immediately became a problem!
These wounded people were actually only slightly injured. The seriously injured people who were unable to rescue had long been left in Hankou and Hanyang. The more than 40,000 wounded people brought back to Xiaogan were all saved!
But being rescued does not mean that you can recover in a short time!
Within at least one week, these 40,000 wounded people were unable to move on their own and had to rely on stretchers!
But the Second Army obviously could not build more than 40,000 stretchers and carry the more than 40,000 wounded soldiers to march!
In this way, the army's marching speed will not be increased at all, and they will definitely be entangled in the end!
After hesitating for a moment, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly gritted his teeth and said with a grim voice: "Abandon all the wounded and ignore them!"
"Nani?" Dibujiagui said in shock, "Second Commander, are you saying abandoning all the wounded? Abandon?"
"Baga, are you questioning my decision?" Shinozuka Yoshio was in a bad mood, and after saying this, he felt even worse. He immediately shouted, "Execute the order!"
"Hayi!" Dibujiagui paused his head suddenly and turned around and left.
Watching the figure of Hitomi leaving in a hurry, Yoshio Shinozuka's face turned darker little by little.
If he had a choice, how could he be willing to abandon the more than 40,000 wounded people? These more than 40,000 people were all elite imperial soldiers who had been through battles. After he recovered from his injury, he could immediately go on the battlefield to kill the enemy and expand the territory of the empire!
