The division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio Toshio, calmly stared at the Japanese generals under their command without any roars. Their emotions were well controlled.
"Tell me, why have you been defeated by the other side's local Chinese army one after another?"
"This is the case with Dunwu Temple, and the same is true with Chen Jiaxing!"
"And you joined forces with the 9th Division to attack together!"
"So tell me, why is there such a battle damage that harms our imperial army?"
"When you were defeated by the other side, not only did our Third Division lose face, but also our entire Imperial Army! Do you think this result is good?"
"Is it glorious?"
But a moment later, Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio took the lead in asking with cold eyes.
He glanced sharply and coldly at Major General Katayama Riichiro, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, and Major General Kanichiro Ueno, the commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade.
As well as the captains of various regiments, they launched an inquiry.
"I'm sorry! I am incompetent because of my humble position. Please give me one more chance, sir, the division commander and the chief of staff. I am willing to lead my brigade to completely capture Chenjiaxing within one day!"
After facing the cold and sharp glances of Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio, the brigade commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, Major General Katayama Riichiro, was very embarrassed. He faced the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and Chief of Staff.
Colonel Toshio, the field member, responded.
Of course, he mainly responded to the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu, by requesting a battle.
As for Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio's accusation, he didn't take it seriously in his eyes or heart.
"You will have a chance, because in the next round of combat, we will all launch a joint attack with the Ninth Division, so you don't want to be too impatient, want to win, and want to wipe away the shame of defeat.
We have plenty of opportunities!”
"And our next main battle is to encircle and annihilate the entire 20th China Army. I hope to annihilate this local China Army and use their blood to commemorate our fallen empires.
Warriors, and for bringing our reputation to a higher level!”
Looking at Major General Ichiro Katayama, the commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade, who was respectfully asking for permission to fight again, and Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, the division commander, they showed a kind smile and calmed each other in a gentle tone.
road.
At this moment, one of him and Chief of Staff Toshio Toshio were pretending to be evil and the other was acting evil.
"Hai!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
Brigade commander Major General Katayama Sato Ichiro quickly expressed his gratitude.
"Yeah! It's just a small thing!"
"By the way, I have another question to ask you. After the battle at Chenjiaxing, it was about the battle between the 3rd Brigade of the 6th Infantry Regiment under your command and a small unit of the local Chinese Army.
Among them, more than half of the troops were killed! What on earth is going on?"
"Originally, this should be handled by you, but now is an important battle moment, so whether it is a large casualty report or a small casualty report, I will personally handle it!"
"What's more, a large group of imperial warriors suffered more than half the casualties, which makes me even more wary!"
However, after the brigade commander, Major General Katayama Riichiro, had just finished expressing his gratitude, the division commander, Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu, made a shocking question.
"Ah! I haven't had time to investigate this matter in detail yet!!"
Hearing this, the brigade commander, Major General Katayama Riichiro, suddenly blushed and apologized to the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, in embarrassment.
"Then go check it out for me quickly! Then report it to me!"
"Although the battle in Chen Jiaxing was very fierce this time, after the entire battle, only your brigade suffered such heavy casualties, so you must give me a detailed explanation!"
"I need to know what kind of battle conditions they encountered and why they suffered so many casualties!"
"You must know that the content of their report shows that their opponents do not have many troops!"
"But their heavy firepower weapons and equipment are not inferior to those of our brigade at all, and are even several times more powerful!"
"But according to the information from our intelligence department, the opponent we are currently fighting against Chen Jiaxing is the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army. There are no other elite Chinese Army units assisting in the operation, so I want to know how this unit is classified as weapons and equipment.
Why are these inferior troops still fighting with such well-equipped heavy firepower?"
Looking at the brigade commander Major General Katayama Sato Ichiro and the division commander Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, who still didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter, their expressions were condensed and they gave instructions in a slightly serious tone.
"Hai!"
"I will go to see their wing captain and their group captain in person right away to inquire!"
"I will definitely give you a satisfactory reply within an hour!"
"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"
As soon as he heard the change in the tone of the division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, the brigade commander, Major General Katayama Riichiro, immediately responded with a look of fear on his face.
"Yeah! Let's go later!"
"Now you all listen to the combat deployment I give you!"
"Because in the next round of attacking Chenjiaxing, we are only allowed to win and not fail!"
"We must annihilate all the 20th Army of the China Army!"
"We cannot let the local Chinese army defeat us, so we must use their blood and corpses to prove that our imperial army is the most powerful fighting force!"
The division commander, Lieutenant General Fujita Susumu, nodded slightly, and then responded with confidence and fighting spirit.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
The brigade commander, Major General Katayama Riichiro, nodded immediately and responded without thinking.
Following his response, Major General Kanichiro Ueno, commander of the 29th Infantry Brigade, and all the Japanese commanders responded in unison.
For a time, the entire headquarters of the Japanese Third Division was filled with a strong will to fight and expand territory.
The division commander, Lieutenant General Susumu Fujita, and the chief of staff, Colonel Toshio, were very satisfied with this.
And at this time,
After obtaining the approval of the General Administration of Artillery to receive artillery support in the next round of battles, Yang Sen, the military commander, looked extremely solemn.
Because he also received a report from Yang Hanyu, the commander of the 133rd Division, that Chen Jiaxing had gathered forces from the two divisions and was preparing for the next round of offensive operations.
Regarding such bad news that was not conducive to his troops, Military Commander Yang Sen immediately lost all smiles.
Including the good mood of receiving artillery support, which he was excited about just now, was gone.
Two Japanese divisions are encircling his 133rd Division and one of the traveling groups of the 135th Division. This is a battle where the entire army will be annihilated anytime and anywhere.
So how can he laugh and become happy?
So at this moment, the only thought in his mind was to go there to get reinforcements.
