"Nani?"

"Zhang Yong is at Jiangyin Fortress?"

"Sou Ga..."

After hearing the news, Nakajima Konsogo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhang Yong!

Jiangyin Fortress!

That Zhang Yong is in Jiangyin Fortress!

With the blessing of Amaterasu, the opportunity has come!

As long as the 16th Division conquers Jiangyin Fortress and kills Zhang Yong...

His name, Nakajima Jingo, will definitely make the headlines in the newspapers!

He will become a celebrity that attracts the attention of all the people of the Japanese Empire!

Imperial conferment of honors...

Golden Eagle Medal...

There will definitely be!

No!

Zhang Yong must be captured alive!

We must capture this Zhang Yong alive and send him to Tokyo!

Put Zhang Yong in a cage.

Acting like a monkey.

The entire Imperial Japanese Army hates this Zhang Yong to the core! They wish they could crush him to ashes!

Bunzaburo Kawagishi...

Susumu Fujita...

Yamamuro Munetake...

Hisao Tani...

Yoshizumi Ryosuke...

Too many divisions suffered losses under Zhang Yong.

To this day, the Sixth Division and the Ninth Division are still quarreling over the loss of the heavy artillery regiment.

The commander of the dispatched force, Matsui Iwane, was as big as a bucket. The base camp was unable to make a judgment. They had no choice but to make peace and agree to return the Hisao Tani Heavy Artillery Regiment.

At the same time, the base camp prioritized the deployment of thirty-six 105mm heavy cannons from the rear, reorganized a heavy artillery regiment, and handed it over to the command of Yoshizumi Ryosuke.

Yoxi!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Must catch!

And, don’t let others take it away!

Especially the 18th Division. They are right behind the 16th Division. They cannot be allowed to take a share of the pie.

"chief of staff!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please give me your instructions."

"Assemble all troops immediately and launch an attack on Jiangyin Fortress."

"Your Excellency General, the heavy artillery regiment hasn't arrived yet..."

"No need. We will attack immediately."

"Tie!"

The chief of staff rushed to deploy.

It completely understands Nakajima Kongo's mentality. He is eager to express himself.

Among so many division commanders, Nakajima Konsogo is older. However, he was promoted to lieutenant general very late. Therefore, achievements are urgently needed.

Take down Zhang Yong!

Capture Jiangyin Fortress!

That’s the record!

Especially the former!

It will definitely be a life highlight!

because……

That Zhang Yong!

Now it’s the target of public criticism!

From the dispatched troops to the base camp, everyone hated Zhang Yong!

"Report!"

"Dispatch an urgent call from the Army Headquarters."

A staff officer hurried over.

Holding a telegram in his hand.

The chief of staff stretched out his hand to take it. After reading it, his expression became stern.

He turned around and said to Nakajima Imamago: "Your Excellency General, Commander Matsui wants us to attack immediately and not give Zhang Yong a chance to escape!"

"Yo Xi! Just what I want!" Nakajima nodded towards me, "Deploy immediately and launch an attack!"

"Yes!" The chief of staff did not dare to neglect. He stopped making deductions and gave the order directly.

Order the troops of the 16th Division to march towards Jiangyin Fortress immediately. No matter how far away they are, they must come immediately.

At the same time, the troops approaching Jiangyin Fortress immediately launched an attack.

Destroy the enemy while moving without making any mistakes.

"Didi!"

"Tick tock!"

As the telegram was sent, the Japanese invaders immediately went crazy.

The Japanese invaders belonging to the 16th Division all gathered frantically towards Jiangyin Fortress.

Originally, some of the Japanese invaders were already fighting with the national troops in other places. After receiving the order, they immediately withdrew from the battle and marched towards the Jiangyin Fortress.

The national army in front of them was confused and didn't know what was going on, so they didn't pay attention.

"boom……"

"boom……"

Near Jiangyin Fortress, the battle began to become fierce.

But Zhang Yong didn't care at all. He didn't participate in the battle. Instead, he was thinking about it at the rear.

Should we withdraw the 100 troops stationed in Suzhou to Jiangyin Fortress?

There is only the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army, which lacks strength and cannot effectively counterattack. It can easily lead to a tug-of-war.

The counterattack must be quick. It must be solved in one night.

It must be fast and hard. One blow is fatal.

Another army he is responsible for supervising, the 67th Army, has now retreated outside Jinling City.

According to the arrangements of the headquarters, the 67th Army is responsible for garrisoning Zijin Mountain. It is the commanding height around Jinling. It must be the object of crazy competition by the Japanese invaders.

It is conceivable that once the Japanese invaders approach Jinling, the 67th Army will definitely be in a hard fight.

Arranging the 67th Army in Zijin Mountain was probably suggested by He Yingqin or Chen Cheng. They both used Zhang Yong's troops to fight the most difficult battles.

Nominally, the troops he oversees, Zhang Yong, have strong combat effectiveness and are worthy of trust. But in reality, the troops are exhausted by fighting.

But Zhang Yong had no objection.

Stationed at Purple Mountain. It fits his wishes perfectly.

As long as the Purple Mountain is defended, the Japanese invaders will not be able to enter the city. They will be attacked from a high position.

In fact, as long as you guard the Purple Mountain, you can do a lot of things.

Therefore, the 67th Army cannot move.

Only 100 troops can be mobilized because Suzhou can be abandoned.
To be continued...
