However, because of the huge water pressure gap inside and outside the carriage, it was impossible to struggle out.
The river water poured in even hit the depths of the carriage.
……
Lu Yuan led the remaining 20 or so soldiers around, rushed to the broken part of the Huaihe Railway Bridge, and paid a solemn military salute.
After the ceremony, Yiran turned around and went south.
He and Ma Fei, who had finished blowing up the train station, rushed towards Bengbu County together.
On Yang Chen's side, he was commanding the troops to clean up the battlefield.
He also ransacked the devil's arsenal in the city.
At this moment, a messenger trotted to find Yang Chen, stood up and saluted, "Tuan Zuo, the underground party is calling, the Japanese troops in Dingyuan and Guzhen are all mobilizing, one direction is north and the other is south, at least thousands of people!
Remind us to be more careful. "
After hearing this, Yang Chen smiled and said: "The reaction of the little devil is quite fast, but we have already finished our work! Notify the troops and prepare to evacuate!"
Soon, Lu Yuan and Ma Fei returned to Bengbu City with the remnants and joined forces with the main force.
Knowing that Lu Yuan's troops suffered heavy casualties, Yang Chen stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"They are all good guys. They are the heroes of the country and the nation! I assure you, the people of the whole country will never forget their sacrifices and great achievements!"
"Ok!"
With tears in Lu Yuan's eyes, he nodded heavily.
However, despite the heavy casualties, his unit successfully completed the mission, successfully blowing up the Huaihe Railway Bridge, and took advantage of the situation to kill the Devils and 5 fighters.
If it is as expected, the devil reinforcements from Guzhen should be on top of this army.
In this way, his battle was also perfect!
200 on 3000!
Not only wiped out all the enemy bandits, but also killed 5 Devil fighters by the way. May I ask who else can create such a result except the Huben regiment?
Subsequently, the army withdrew.
Only the corpses of devils were left behind, and Bengbu City, which was still billowing with thick smoke, was the ammunition warehouse that was blown up by Yang Chen and was still burning.
…………
"Baga Road! Huainan and Bengbu were captured by the Huben regiment one after another, not only losing a lot of combat supplies and thousands of imperial warriors.
Even the Huaihe Railway Bridge was blown up. Wouldn't the imperial army's north-south transportation be paralyzed for several months?
Damn, really hateful! "
In Hefei, Neiji Okamura gritted his teeth and glared angrily after receiving the battle report. He roared at the staff around him, "How can I explain this to the front army headquarters and the base camp?"
Several devil staff officers were trained, each of them looked like eggplants beaten by frost, their heads were downcast, and they didn't even dare to look Neiji Okamura in the eyes.
They mobilized three divisions plus several mixed brigades and local garrison, a total of more than 10 troops, and besieged and suppressed the Huben regiment for nearly a month.
Not only failed to wipe out the Huben Group, but two cities were taken away by the Huben Group one after another, one of which was an important town guarding the important traffic routes such as the Jinpu Railway.
If this news gets out, the face of the Japanese army will be wiped out!
"Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the current situation, the Chinese army that fled to Hongze Lake may not be the main force of the Huben Regiment."
After a pause, the devil's chief of staff, who carried the rank of major general on his shoulders, continued to analyze cautiously: "Perhaps, our previous inference was wrong again. The main force of the Huben regiment should still be west of the Jinpu railway line, south of the Huaihe River, and north of Hefei. This area."
Okamura Neiji, who was full of anger, looked up at him suddenly, and asked, "How did the chief of staff see it?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, if it wasn't the main force, how could the Huben regiment take down Huainan and Bengbu, which were heavily defended by the imperial army?
And it was completed in such a short period of time, almost under the eyes of tens of thousands of imperial troops! "The chief of staff lowered his head and continued to analyze.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Although Neiji Okamura was unwilling to admit it, he had to accept this slap in the face.
After several failed encirclement and suppression campaigns, Okamura Ningji felt helpless when facing Yang Chen and the Huben regiment.Yang Chen and Huben Tuan were like a slippery loach, it was difficult to catch him at all.
…………
Chapter 899 A More Vicious Plan
After the anger passed, Okamura Ningji forced himself to calm down, glanced at everyone present, and began to listen to the suggestions of his subordinates humbly, and planned the next siege tactics.
He clenched his fists tightly and swore in his heart that he would gather and annihilate the main force of the Huben Regiment on the south bank of the Huaihe River, in the area west of the Jinpu railway line.
With the endless humiliation brought to him by Xue Yangchen and the Huben regiment!
"Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that the main force of the 6th and 28th divisions be brought back from the Hongze Lake area, leaving only a small number of troops to pursue and suppress the Chinese Huben Regiment that fled to the Hongze Lake area.
The main force is all used to encircle and suppress the main force of the Chinese army that appears in Bengbu! "The devil's chief of staff raised his head slightly, and stated his views respectfully.
Okamura Neiji nodded and said: "Well, what you said, Chief of Staff, is reasonable, but it needs to be improved!"
"I would like to hear the details." The devil's chief of staff slightly bowed his head.
"First, order the 28th Division and the 6th Division to leave a field wing each, together with the local garrison and the Imperial Association Army, to impose a military blockade on the Chinese army fleeing to Hongze Lake.
For the time being, the purpose is not to wipe out the enemy, but to prevent them from going west again and join up with the main force of the Chinese army in Bengbu.
Of course, if there is a chance, it would be great to be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop!
Second, order the 3rd Division, in addition to sending capable troops to continue crossing the south of the river to participate in the pursuit of the Chinese Huben Regiment, but also to unite with all the garrison troops in the Jiangbei cities and the Imperial Association Army to set up a blockade along the Huaihe River.
Don't give this Chinese army another chance to cross the Huaihe River north and escape into Huaibei! x
The same is true for the 28th and 6th Divisions. In addition to sending the main force to encircle and suppress the Huben Regiment, they also have to retain part of their troops to join forces with Mingguang, Chuzhou and other places to block the Chuzhou-Bengbu section of the Jinpu Railway.
Just in case the main force of the Chinese Huben Regiment crossed the Jinpu railway line and fled eastward again, headed for the waters of Hongze Lake, and joined the part that arrived first!
Thirdly, with the 8th and 9th mixed brigades as the main force, the 28th Division, the 6th Division and the 3rd Division each form a large army for encirclement and suppression, starting from Bengbu, Mingguang, Dingyuan, Hefei and other places, Advance westward with a dragnet method.
Step by step, the Huben Regiment's activity space was reduced, and they were driven back to Huoqiu, Jinzhai and other Dabie Mountains, and finally surrounded and annihilated in the Dabie Mountains. "
Ningji Okamura expressed his considered deployment and plan.
