Chapter 574 Surrounding Yucheng and Fighting Devils
Song Zhuoyi led the entire army to travel through Changxia in a mighty manner. While passing by Changxia, the 35th Division had successfully captured Buxi and was entering the city from the west.
The Japanese in Yucheng were panicked in the face of the severe situation and were anxiously mobilizing teams everywhere to deal with the unfavorable situation in the city. Therefore, in all the strongholds around Yucheng, the Japanese and puppet troops acted almost at the same time to reinforce Yucheng.
"Military, Yucheng is now very complicated. In order to ensure that Yucheng is not lost, the Japanese have begun to mobilize all the troops in the surrounding Japanese strongholds. It seems that the Japanese in Yucheng want to fight with us Yucheng!" The Chief of Staff and Song Zhuoyi stopped, stood on the side of the road where the team marched, and two orderly soldiers took the map for them to view. At this time, the Chief of Staff said to Song Zhuoyi.
It seemed that he was always paying attention to the subtle changes in Yucheng, so while he was talking, he marked the movements of the Japanese to facilitate their viewing.
"It seems that the form is very unfavorable to us. When the Japanese and puppet troops around Yucheng gather, there must be at least several thousand people. We have just a little force, and we really can't fight with the Japanese!" Song Zhuoyi said with a frown.
He knew that his troops had gone through several rounds of battle, and the loss of troops had almost reached its limit, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition was also very large. He was really worried that they could still deal with such a big battle.
"But we want to march into Changsha to support the battle of Changsha. Yucheng is the fastest shortcut for us to arrive in Changsha!" said the Chief of Staff at this time.
"If you want to detour, where is the right place?" Song Zhuoyi said at this time. After taking Changxia and Buxi, they could completely attack Yucheng where the Japanese were located according to the original plan. However, the Japanese did not mobilize the Japanese puppet troops in the surrounding strongholds. Now the Japanese have used so many troops around and continued to attack Yucheng according to the original plan, which obviously did not meet their expected requirements.
Therefore, he thought of the strategy of the team's detour into Changsha. He felt that instead of losing troops and generals in the city, it would be better to lead all the brothers of the entire army to preserve their strength and fight to Changsha from other places.
"If we want to detour, there are only two plans. First, take Jinghe County to the westward direction of Jinghe Mountain, go to the Hanjie River, enter the Miluo River Basin, and wait for an opportunity to enter the outer periphery of Changsha, but with our speed, this road will take at least fifteen days, which is ten days later than the originally scheduled date of arrival in Changsha.
Moreover, every county town along the way was guarded by the Japanese. We walked here and passed by Guan Yunchang, who had passed five passes and six generals.
I’m afraid that when we arrived, the battles in Changsha would be over!" The Chief of Staff first said the first marching route and evaluated the unfavorable factors first.
"This road obviously doesn't work. We support the Battle of Changsha. We can't wait until we arrive, we can't even drink the soup!" Song Zhuoyi obviously wouldn't choose this route. He felt that this route was a waste of time for him.
"There is another road, that is, from Changxia to the west, through Buxi, Pingtang, Gucheng, Ji'an, Zhouyue, and into the Miluo River line. However, the mountain road along the way is rugged, making it inconvenient for vehicles and heavy weapons to travel. However, the Japanese guards in these places are relatively weak, and we can arrive within five days when we arrive at the Miluo River line!" The Chief of Staff continued, and he told the second marching route.
This line is relatively fast, but the disadvantages are quite big. However, these are not the responsibility of the Chief of Staff. The Chief of Staff’s responsibility is to analyze the pros and cons and put them in front of Song Zhuoyi. Song Zhuoyi has to take the big idea.
"I can't get over the heavy weapons. Do you have to rush to the front line to fight the Japanese with fists?" Song Zhuoyi obviously disagreed with this route. "It seems that we must also use our brains on the city."
Song Zhuoyi knew very well that the Japanese attacking Changsha had a complete heavy equipment, tanks, armored vehicles, and airplanes without guns. If they didn't bring some decent equipment, they would be human shields in the past. He didn't want all his brothers to run over and die.
"But Yu Cheng's current military strength has exceeded ours nearly three times, and this battle is not easy to fight!" The Chief of Staff could not think of a better strategy at this time.
You should know that they belong to the labor expedition, and the logistics supply is not enough, so I won’t mention it. Even the brothers didn’t have time to rest. The brothers didn’t have much rest along the way. He was worried that if he continued like this, the brothers would not be able to hold on.
"It seems that we have to use the commando team of Wang Si. They fight strangely and are elusive. The Japanese are just fools in front of them!" Song Zhuoyi said at this time, as if he had an idea in his mind, but it was not a good strategy, so he is just talking to the Chief of Staff now.
"The military captain means..." The Chief of Staff did not understand what Song Zhuoyi meant. In his opinion, even if Wang Si and his commando could fight, they would not be able to deal with so many Japanese devils. What's more, Yu Cheng has been strengthened by Japanese devils now, and even if he wanted to attack him, it would be impossible.
"I want them to get into the city and take Yucheng together with us!" Song Zhuoyi said at this time, as if he had gradually improved this plan in his mind.
"Okay, I'll inform them now!" When the Chief of Staff heard Song Zhuoyi's words, he felt that this method was their most feasible plan at present, so he immediately said in front of Song Zhuoyi, intending to convey this order to the commando as soon as possible.
So the Chief of Staff said that he was about to arrange someone to call Wang Si over, so he arranged the tasks of Wang Si and the others here so that they could deploy as quickly as possible.
"Wait a minute!" Song Zhuoyi called the Chief of Staff and said, "They went over there and fought no less than ten major and large wars. The brothers suffered heavy casualties and were very tired. In this way, they were notified to rest in Changxia for one night and asked the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for them to raise their spirits!"
Song Zhuoyi knew Wang Si and his team's hard work. He could not help the commando's contribution to conquering every town along the way. Now he had to issue a task to them, but they were not a good fight and they always needed a good rest. Therefore, he planned to give them a day off and let them take a good rest in Changxia.
"I understand, I'll ask the 24th Division to send them a guard to serve as a guard, so that they can have time to take a good rest!" said the Chief of Staff at this time. Obviously, he had considered many ways to protect this team.
You should know that the commando is the sharp knife in their hands now, and no matter what, you cannot let the commando go wrong.
