The reason why Wang Yong 'an was in such a hurry to take down the Mulberry Pond was not purely because he wanted credit for restoring the Mulberry Pond.
If Sang Chi took it back, the gate of Hengyuan Avenue would be closed halfway. If the 17th division could take advantage of the situation and attack back, the gate of Hengyuan Avenue would be completely closed.
The Japanese's three-pronged attack was all around a square formation.
That was to divide and surround the entire Central Army of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Therefore, the three armies of the Japanese were all alone. They mainly attacked the key towns and finally gathered in Yuan County to successfully divide them.
The northern front was the main force of the Japanese.
If Hengyuan Avenue was closed and the Japanese had yet to take down Yuan County, then the Japanese's northern army would be surrounded!
With the Japanese troops surrounding them, they were the only hope for the Central Army to turn the tables.
This was also the only chance Wang Yong 'an could think of to turn the tables after transmigrating for so long.
At this moment, in the battle conference room of the presidential palace in the mountain city, a group of battle advisors were busy, while the bald man was looking at the map of Zhongtiao Mountain and cursing!
"How was this battle fought? F * ck, can't they do anything other than running?”
Looking at the rapid advance of the Japanese and the retreat of the Central Army on the map, Baldy really wanted to go over and kill those commanders.
"Report!"
At this moment, a combat staff officer walked over excitedly." Vice-chancellor, good news!”
"Hmm?" The bald man was stunned and could not believe it.
Although he kept cursing, Baldy had already resigned himself to his fate. After all, his troops were running so fast that he didn't have the time to command them to save the situation.
Now that there was news of victory, he seemed to be in disbelief.
"Headmaster, the newly formed 23rd Brigade Commander Wang Yongan led the 336th Regiment to guard Xiaolong Village northeast of Sangchi. At noon on the 8th, they were attacked by a large group of Japanese!”
"Wang Yong 'an led the army to prepare in advance and fought back, successfully wiping out a large group of Japanese.”
"Good! Good! Good!" The bald man immediately shouted three times,"There's finally good news ~"
" That…" The advisor continued," Principal, what else?"
"Oh ~" The bald man was even more excited."Is there any other good news?"”
"After the battle ended, Brigade Commander Wang Yongan discovered that the Japanese troops stationed in Sangchi were weak, so he launched a long-distance raid and launched a direct attack. He successfully recovered Sangchi at four in the afternoon!”
"What? Sang Chi got it back?"
The bald man walked to the map and looked at it carefully." Sang Chi is back!”
"I remember Wang Anshi, the brigade commander of the new 32nd Brigade. He's not only my fellow countryman, but also my distant relative. When he was promoted to brigade commander, someone said that Wenkang was too young to convince the masses.”
The bald man said with foresight," This isn't a situation where only Wenkang is winning and making up for the loss!”
"What about the 17th division? What about the 17th division?"
The bald man continued.
"Vice-chancellor, the 17th division has retreated into the mountains. They should be here now!”The staff officer pointed at the mountain to the west of Hengyuan Pass.
"Send an order to the 17th division to counterattack. We must counterattack. No matter what, we must take down Hengyuan Pass and block Hengyuan Avenue!”
The bald man said loudly," There's still the 15th Division. Give them a chance to redeem themselves. Go to Mulberry Pond immediately to support the newly formed 32nd Brigade. You must guard Mulberry Pond for me! Completely surround the Japanese's northern troops!”
"Yes, sir!"
The advisor nodded and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Gu San, who had already flown back from Luoyang, walked over and said in a low voice," President, there's no need for that."
"What happened?"
A bad premonition rose in Baldy's heart.
"I just received news that the 43rd division and the 15th division have abandoned Yuan County and crossed the Yellow River into the 9th division's defense zone!”
" Some of the soldiers stationed in Yuan County have retreated, and some have died in battle. Yuan County has fallen."
"Crash ~"
The bald man almost couldn't stand still." Sinner, sinner! The entire 43rd Division was a sinner!”
"Yuan County has been lost, even the largest ferry port has been lost. What will happen to my Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain?”
"Send an order to the 9th division. Detain all the people from the 43rd division and send them to the military court!”
" President, please calm down!!" Gu San quickly said," The most important thing now is how to deal with the army at Zhongtiao Mountain. The Japanese have already surrounded us, so the army at Zhongtiao Mountain must break through!”
"Yes!"
The bald man said loudly,"Tell those soldiers that the party and the country have not given up on them. Tell them to persevere in the battle and break out of the encirclement. I will send reinforcements over to rescue them ~"
"Yes, sir!"
Gu San nodded.
However, Gu San knew very well that this was all he could do now. The only troops of the Central Army on the north bank of the Yellow River were the troops of Zhongtiao Mountain.
The so-called rescue was just empty talk. It was possible to let the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army go to rescue, but both of them would listen to orders but not propaganda. Now that Zhongtiao Mountain was a pile of mud, no one would want to participate.
"Oh right ~"
The bald man suddenly continued,"Spread the news of Wen Kang recovering Sangchi. We should let those people see Wen Kang's achievements and see how the war should be fought. We should also tell the people of the world that our army is still fighting in Zhongtiao Mountain!”
"Yes, sir!" Gu San nodded.
Baldy was best at politics. Any small achievement would become his political capital.
From the start of the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain until now, the news that came was either defeat or fleeing without fighting. Many people were already wondering if the national army would fight.
Now that Wang Yong 'an's battle record was indeed not bad, he naturally needed to use it to promote himself!
With the bald man's publicity, Wang Yong 'an suddenly entered the eyes of many people.
At this moment, in a small mud house in northwestern Shanxi, a rough but slightly shrunken man was looking at a map.
"Hehe ~"
The man smiled and said," I didn't expect that there would be such a capable person in the Central Army of Zhongtiao Mountain."
" It's a pity that the others can't do it. Otherwise, if this knife were to stab right through, the Japanese would have to spit out blood!"
" Sigh..." The man sighed." What a pity, what a pity. I stabbed the Japanese so hard, they definitely won't let me go. If this Wang Yong 'an can come out of Zhongtiao Mountain, I, Old Li, will have to see him for myself."
