"Commander, our intelligence personnel has received a top-secret intelligence report. Please check it!”Tan Ya handed Lu Jie a folder with a serious expression. It was marked with an S. This was top-secret information.
Lu Jie had a bad premonition. He felt that this information was not good news.
He opened it and his heart sank. This information was related to the 29th division. The battles these days had been very intense. The Japanese army had suffered many casualties, but the 29th division suffered even more casualties. Some regiments were even destroyed. It could not be said that they were not brave and hot-blooded.
In history, the 29th division was defeated by the Japanese army on July 28th, and Beiping surrendered. Now it was already July 31st. It could be said that they had held on for a few more days. Of course, the firearms of the Global Arms Company played a big role in this.
Now, the intelligence indicated that Song Zheyuan would organize his troops to break out and retreat in the next few days, giving the great Beiping to the Japanese army. After all, the Japanese army's main target was Beiping, not their 29th division.
The reason why Song Zheyuan was in such a hurry to leave wasn't just because of the heavy casualties. Another reason was that the Japanese reinforcements were continuously landing in China, and their attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer.
Therefore, he had the idea of retreating. Although Beiping was good, he needed the strength to enjoy it. However, if he ran away like this, he would be scolded by the whole country. Someone needed to take the blame.
Lu Jie was the most suitable one among them. Not only was Lu Jie powerful, but he was also not on the same path as him. This made him quite apprehensive. During these few days of war, Lu Jie did not forget to build Wanping County. This made him see Lu Jie's ambition.
On the surface, Lu Jie was a unit under the 29th Division. If the 29th Division retreated, it would be the best thing to leave Beiping to Lu Jie.
This way, they could preserve their strength and not be accused of abandoning the city. They could also use the Japanese army to eliminate Lu Jie, this ambitious guy. This was a move that killed three birds with one stone.
The report stated that the 29th division would organize a force to break out in early August and give Beiping City to Lu Jie. At the same time, they would put the miscellaneous troops under the command of the Independent Regiment. This was also to get rid of these burdens. The best choice was to let them cover the retreat of the main force.
Lu Jie gently put down the stack of documents in his hand and said,"This old fox is really good at scheming. However, this is also an opportunity for me to occupy Beiping City.”
Tanya could not help but frown." Commander, don't be too optimistic. The Japanese reinforcements are endless. There are hundreds of thousands of them. If we block their way south, they will definitely eliminate us."”
Lu Jie raised his eyebrows and smiled." We'll have to see if they have the sharp teeth to eat us up. The Japanese army is inferior to us in other aspects except for the strength and quality of their soldiers. Don't forget that China lacks everything but people. We don't lack hot-blooded men who are willing to sacrifice for the country.”
These days, Lu Jie was very touched by this. The students in Beiping had organized themselves to transport ammunition and food for the troops, regardless of bullets and artillery. This was the hope of China's future. In order to protect this hope, Lu Jie was willing to fight the Japanese army to the death in Beiping.
"Since Song Zheyuan is running away, we need to settle the matters on our side. It's not good for us to be surrounded by enemies!”
"Order! The Independent Brigade must launch a counterattack against the Japanese army within these two days and strive to annihilate them in one fell swoop. At the very least, they must be severely injured so that they cannot affect the upcoming war!”
"Yes, sir!" As Lu Jie's secretary, Tan Ya saluted Lu Jie and left.
Looking at her slim and graceful figure, Lu Jie couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva. He really envied those people who lived in a life where they had a secretary to do things for them. It was a pity that he didn't have such good fortune now. He should have such good fortune in the future.
.........
"Boom! Boom!" Two shells landed in the battalion command post, and the mud could not help but fall, causing Xu Ziqiu's military cap to be covered in mud. However, now was not the time to care about this.
Because the war was not so intense, Xu Ziqiu personally came to the front line command to see the soldiers. The Japanese offensive had weakened, so Xu Ziqiu saw the weakness of the Japanese army.
However, they had been fighting for almost a week now. Although the casualties were not specifically calculated, the casualties were definitely not small. They were definitely much greater than theirs.
Xu Ziqiu was also very sad about the casualties in the past few days, but in such a fierce war, casualties were inevitable. No matter how powerful you were, you would be knocked down by bullets, not to mention the quality of the Japanese army was still very powerful. If it was those warlords, they would have long collapsed.
Perhaps it was time to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. This was also the reason why he came to the front line to investigate.
At this moment, his adjutant ran in and reported,""Reporting to the exploration team, the commander has sent an urgent message!”
"Read!"
"I order your regiment to act according to Plan A and quickly and decisively end the battle! Commander: Lu Jie!"
Xu Ziqiu smiled and said," The order came at the right time. It's time to end this long-lasting battle!"”
