Chapter 623: The Chinese Conspiracy
"Conspiracy, conspiracy, bastard, Baga, this is a conspiracy of the Chinese, a huge conspiracy..." As if he was crazy, Ryosuke Isotani smashed the telephone and other items on the table.
"The division commander, the commander of Seya detachment called..."
"Let that bastard hold on, hold on!"
"Hayi!" The adjutant lowered his head with awkward expression and ran out quickly. At this time, it is better not to be the punching bag of the division commander.
"The commander of the Sewu Brigade sent a mixed brigade from Lincheng and had already gone to Zaozhuang..."
"I know, I will immediately remove troops from Zoucheng and Teng Prefecture, and send a telegram to the Jinan Second Army Command to request tactical guidance." Isotani Ryosuke issued a series of orders, "Send a telegram to the Okamoto Section Chief in Yanzhou, asking him to come forward and ask the Fifth Division to send troops to attack westward."
"How could this happen? You obviously want Taierzhuang to occupy an important town in Xuzhou, but why did you suddenly surround me? Something must have happened..." Aoshi Isotani was crazy.
Jinan, the Second Army Headquarters.
Nishioji Temple is about to leave, and is promoted to the director of the Army Education. (The previous article was wrong. Seishiro Sakagaki returned to Tokyo to perform. Later, he was directly competent for the Army Minister and directly replaced Sugiyama Moto, who was completely a helicopter. At this time, he was still in China and was expected to return to Japan in mid-May. This is based on historical facts.)
After all, Nishioji Temple has been in China for a long time, and it is still half a Chinese connection. From the Kwantung Army to the North China Front Army, this time, in addition to serving as the director of education, he will also be promoted to a general. He is one of the most core figures in the army.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be full of confidence. All of this was achieved through China's achievements. China was the place where he made his fortune. Not only did he make his official career prosperous, but he also brought him countless wealth.
These plundered gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and many rare cultural relics are all lying quietly in the large eight-kisen box they carry.
In addition to these, there is also a huge sum of money. With this money, even if you retire, you can become a rich man and live an enviable life.
Unfortunately, if I could stay for a few more days, I would probably have more than I am now, but there is only one position in the Education Director, and power is more fascinating than wealth.
He had to leave, and Prince Minorhiko Higaki who succeeded him was already on his way to China.
"Your Excellency Commander, the 10th Division urgent telegram!" Nishiojisao was deeply moved and forgot about the place where he had lived for several months. This was originally the official residence of Shandong Provincial Chairman Han Xiangfang, and now it will no longer belong to him.
Suddenly, a burst of urgent footsteps came from behind, and the panic sound of his adjutant.
"What's so panic? Look how you're not as calm as a great Japanese emperor?" Nishioji reprimanded with a stern face.
"Your Excellency Commander, Isogai Division Commander's urgent telegram!" said the deputy.
"What's the matter?"
"The Chinese army launched a counterattack in Taierzhuang. The Segu Detachment was surrounded by more than 100,000 Chinese army and was in danger. I asked the Second Army Command for tactical guidance!" The adjutant reported nervously.
"Nani?" Nishiojisao stared wide and said in shock.
"Your Excellency Commander, this is a telegram..." The adjutant handed over a telegram tremblingly.
The Nishioji Temple produced the results and scanned the contents on it. I felt dizzy and turned around and leaned back!
"Your Excellency Commander..." The adjutant screamed and quickly stepped forward to stabilize the body of Nishioji's body, "Military Medical Officer, Military Medical Officer..."
"Go and invite Chief of Staff Suzuki, and Colonel Okamoto..."
"Colonel Okamoto went to Yanzhou and hasn't come back yet?"
"What, call immediately to make him return quickly. Don't take a train. Come back by plane. Quickly!" Nishioji Zuo recovered, pushed the adjutant violently and ordered.
"Send a report to the generals in the temple..."
The Japanese army in North China and even the entire Japanese army in China were shocked by the news. At this time, it was incredible that the Chinese still had the ability to launch a counterattack.
How did they do it? Isn’t Isotani Ryosuke of the Second Army known as China Connect? How did he lead the troops to fight?
For a moment, some of the previous remarks of Isotani Ryosuke were dug out, and accusations and insults quickly spread among the top Japanese military and political leaders.
Where can Istani Ryosuke care about these things? He needs reinforcements now, reinforcements...
The 10th Division had nearly 30,000 people, plus the 109th Division and other soldiers under the 10th Division, which were assigned to the 10th Division, and there were nearly 50,000 people, but the 50,000 was the starting force. After the consumption along the way, the Japanese army suffered more than 70,000 or 8,000.
You should know that 50,000 people cannot be considered combat troops, supplies, logistics, field hospitals, and even comfort women, and the most capable troops were handed over to Setani Kei.
Seya Kishi has 20,000 people in his hands, basically all fighting troops.
Then the Nagase Detachment also had seven or eight thousand hands, but the temporary garrison he was responsible for from Zoucheng, Tengzhou to Lincheng, and Hanzhuang to ensure the smooth and safe roads, so the troops he could draw were limited.
You should know that the Japanese army is attacking a line now. There are many anti-Japanese teams active in the vast rural areas near these cities. As long as you relax a little, the railway tracks will be cut off and the highway will be blown up.
The escort fleet was escorted with fewer people, and it didn't work. The Seya Detachment lacked supply, so the contributions of these anti-Japanese teams hidden in the countryside were indispensable.
The Japanese could only send heavy troops to protect the safety of the railway lifeline, which consumed a lot of troops, so that Seya Kei was now surrounded, but Isoya Risuke did not have any extra troops to support him.
Isotani Ryosuke was already anxious and red. Although the Segaya detachment would not be surrounded and annihilated immediately, it was surrounded by more than 100,000 people. The time would be delayed by a point, and the loss would be greater.
The Chinese's intention was very obvious, which was to eat the main force of his 10th Division in Taierzhuang area.
What a big appetite!
But I have to say that this time was chosen very well.
Taierzhuang could not capture it for a long time, and the Segu Detachment consumed 70% to 80%. With a severe decline in morale, the counterattack was launched at this time, and the time was just right.
The Chinese plan to counterattack this time is not a day or two.
Are they going to fight the Empire in Xuzhou?
Nanjing, Central China Front Army Command.
"Hisser Commander, this is an emergency telegram sent by the North China Front Army just now!"
"Oh, what's the matter?" Hata Shunruo gracefully swiped his pen, and the four Chinese characters "Wu Yun Chang" on the spread rice paper stopped at the last stroke.
"The Second Army Segu Detachment was surrounded by more than 100,000 squadrons in Taierzhuang, and there was a danger of being surrounded and annihilated!" the adjutant said with his head down.
"Hasn't Taierzhuang been captured by the empire?"
"Yes, but it seems that the squadron has gone back more..."
"Idiot, idiot, such a commander should have committed suicide by cesarean section!" Hata Shunruo angrily threw away the brush in his hand, "Where is Niushima-huo?"
"Xu Yuanquan's army is vulnerable. The Niudao Detachment has arrived outside Bengbu and is about to launch an attack on Bengbu!"
"Order the 9th Division and the 101st Division to quickly cross the Huai River at all costs. Now it seems that the Chinese are planning to fight against the empire in the Xuzhou area and gather so many troops. Although Seya Kei was incompetent, he did a good thing. If they persist for ten days and half a month, we can surround these hundreds of thousands of squadrons from outside and eat them in one bite. In this way, the Chinese should be obedient!" A ruthless light flashed in Hata Shunroku's eyes.
"Hayi!"
"Central News Agency, May 3, early this morning, my fifth war zone gj launched a full-scale counterattack in Taierzhuang. The Japanese Sega Detachment... retreated step by step, with heavy casualties..."
The KMT Central Radio Station's steady and ups and downs broadcast the news of the zg army launching a Jedi counterattack in Taierzhuang at 7 o'clock this morning.
For a moment, the whole country was excited!
After just two air battles, the people's enthusiasm for the war of resistance reached a peak, and the expectations for victory of the war of resistance reached a new height.
The sky is gloomy, and the thick clouds seem to squeeze out water. Looking at the posture, I am afraid that there will be a heavy rain in the afternoon or at night, so I must arrive before dark.
The above gave two days, but in fact, the time left for the New 39th Brigade is only one day and two nights.
To be honest, the difficulty is simply disaster-level to capture a solid city in such a short time.
But this is not impossible.
As long as you plan properly, it is not difficult to easily win a strong city.
The 391st Regiment was the first to land, so he naturally became the vanguard of the entire brigade and was at the forefront. Naturally, the 391st Regiment was responsible for sending reconnaissance vanguards.
"There is a Japanese army team ahead of the report regiment seat, with about five or six hundred people, fully armed, as well as cavalry and artillery. The direction should be from Yanzhou!"
The vanguard who was exploring the way forward suddenly sent a warning message.
Encountering the Japanese army?
Qiao Guoliang was shocked. Could it be such a coincidence?
"Report this situation immediately. Also, how far is the Japanese army from us?" Qiao Guoliang could not tell what the Japanese army did for a moment, but reported the situation as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhongling, who was still at the landing ground in Zhongzi Temple, received a telegram from Qiao Guoliang in the simple command center and immediately discussed with Chief of Staff Lei Zheng.
This Japanese army was most likely to have rushed from Yanzhou to reinforce Taierzhuang. Judging from the amount of supplies they carried, it might be a logistics corps.
Do you want to fight?
Zhang Zhongling thought carefully and decided not to fight. Once he fought, he would expose himself. Moreover, fighting would also consume time, allowing the Japanese army in Yanzhou to be prepared, so that it would not have the effect of a surprise attack.
But shouldn't you just let it go?
Of course, we cannot let it go easily. Since it is the Japanese army that reinforces Taierzhuang, it must be intercepted and can be handed over to the troops behind to complete the interception mission.
"I notified the Cavalry Commander Hu, and said that a group of sheep had come to him and asked him to accept it!" Zhang Zhongling decided to let the Japanese army go first.
"clear!"
"How did Commander Qiao go back?" Chief of Staff Lei Zheng asked.
"Get out of the way and pay attention to the traces of destruction!" Zhang Zhongling ordered.
"What, let the Japanese go?" The order was conveyed to the 391st Regiment, and several battalion commanders shouted in dissatisfaction.
"What are you talking about? Execute the order. The deputy voyage must have his considerations. What is our mission? Don't forget!" Qiao Guoliang scolded coldly.
Perhaps Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang was afraid of alerting the enemy. Once he fought here, Yanzhou City would definitely be vigilant, which would increase the difficulty of attacking Yanzhou and expose himself.
Until now, the Japanese army seems to have not discovered the existence of the Honorary Division.
