Under the low eaves, the dim candlelight was beating, obscure, as if a gentle gust of wind could completely blow it out.

It seemed to symbolize the fate of Seya commander, and this was the army that made Isoya Ryosuke hold a considerable hope, almost all the elites of the 10th Division were included.

The 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade (with the headquarters), the 10th Regiment of Independent Machine Guns, the 10th Squadrons of Independent Light Armored Vehicles, the 10th Squadrons of Engineers, and the 15th and 16th Squadrons of War Station Cars... Later, three Japanese infantry brigades, mountain cannons and field cannons were removed from the Nagase Brigade.

There were as many as 30,000 troops filled in!

Almost all the troops of the 10th Regiment of the Second Army were occupied by them. In Taierzhuang, the Segu Detachment fought for nine days and nine nights, but failed to defeat them. In the end, they lost almost 7,000 people, and more than 90% of the people were killed.

If the Japanese army fought to the death and refused to surrender, were injured and could not be treated in time, it would be basically a dead end.

Moreover, the medicine carried by the Japanese army was not enough, and the logistics supply was completely blocked by Leng Feng. Some of these wounded people were transported to Tengxian, Zoucheng and other places for treatment.

The 39th Brigade of the Hiroshima captured more than 1,500 Japanese soldiers in Fuji Prefecture and Yanzhou. (Why do readers always ask the Japanese Seya Detachment that always has 20,000 people, and it seems that they can't finish the battle. In fact, the Japanese army is constantly replenishing and maintaining this scale of troops)

Now there are more than 5,000 Sakamoto Detachment that have been supported.

The Japanese army invested 35,000 troops in the Taierzhuang area.

There were about 8,000 Japanese troops surrounded by them, and about 5,000 or 6,000 wounded soldiers. In other words, the Japanese troops lost 20,000 people in half a month!

A large part of them were killed in battle. In the previous battles, Japanese prisoners were rarely captured, and about a few hundred people were arrested, all of whom were injured and had no ability to commit suicide.

During the general attack, the Japanese army was unable to take away too many wounded soldiers because they pushed too quickly. These wounded Japanese soldiers either voluntarily stayed to cut off the rear, committed suicide, or died together!

But I have gained a lot, and I have caught more than a thousand injuries.

After counting all the Japanese wounded soldiers, a rough estimate was made. The Japanese army attacked Taierzhuang and the previous battles such as Tengxian, and killed about 17,000 people.

This number should be the closest to the facts. Seya Kikyu knew in his heart that even if he took down Taierzhuang, he lost the battle. Most of the elite troops of the 10th Division were lost in his hands. Not to mention that most of the heavy artillery brigade had also failed in Taierzhuang, and some heavy artillery had to be discarded and fell into the hands of the Chinese.

With such a huge loss, even if Setani Kei can go back alive, it will probably not be a good result.

He still has more than 4,000 capable soldiers and three thousand injured soldiers. If he insists on sticking, he can still hold on for one or two days with his ability.

Unless the Chinese can still have the fierce artillery fire that is today.

In fact, he knew that the Chinese people had been exploding their anger that had been accumulating for many days. They didn't have so many shells, so some of them were hit next.

If it weren't for his lack of food or drink, and he had no ammunition, it would be not necessarily the case for whoever wins or loses.

Setani Kei convened his subordinates to the command center for a meeting in order to unify his thoughts and want to break through, that was not something he could do alone.

In addition to those who died in battle, were injured, and those who had to hold their positions, commanders of the magistrate level or above or special forces (not necessarily those who were magistrate-level officers) had all arrived.

However, when you glance at it, everyone's faces were very tired, and some of them had not washed their faces for several days. They were dirty. Even the soldiers who were obsessed with cleanliness were afraid that they would not care about it at this time.

"adjutant!"

"Hayi!"

The adjutant took out a wooden box, took out some compressed dry food and canned food from it, and divided it for each officer who attended the meeting. Each person got a piece of compressed biscuits, and heard that he could eat beef, a bottle of canned fruit, cigarettes, chewing gum and other items.

"That's all here. I know you haven't eaten before you come, so eat." Setani Kiyo raised his eyes slightly, pointed at the food in front of everyone and said.

"General, have we really reached this point?"

"Furongjun, you have been fighting with the Chinese army for so long. You know the situation we are facing now. The above are asking us to stick to it, but how long can we stick to it now?"

"We have no food to eat anymore. If this continues, the soldiers will be hungry and we can't fight anymore!" A major officer in charge of military supplies stood up and said.

"We can still kill horses."

"Even if the entire detachment of war horses is killed, it will not last long. If all the war horses are killed, who will check our equipment?" Sang Wenzhen, the captain of the 10th Cavalry Regiment, stood up angrily and asked.

"What do you think you should do?"

"While we still have the power to fight, break through and rush out!"

"Don't forget, we have a task to stick here. The empire needs us to hold the elite troops of the Chinese army here. The Tufeiyuan Division of the First Army has crossed the Yellow River and cut off the Longhai Railway. As long as we persist for a while, when they meet with the Central China Front Army, the entire battle situation will be completely reversed!"

"But I heard that the Honorary First Division of the Chinese Army suddenly appeared in western Shandong and had occupied Yanzhou and Jining. It is still hard to say whether the 14th Division can successfully move south."

"Honor First Division, Devil Force..."

The devil's troops were also circulated in the North China Front Army. Although they had never encountered it, in Taierzhuang, the New 38th Brigade left a heavy shadow on them.

This unit and the devil's unit almost came from the same source. The powerful combat effectiveness and endless means shown in Taierzhuang made many officers who had experienced it shudder.

There were many Japanese officers who died in Taierzhuang, many of them were young and talented young officers and elite soldiers. Fukuei's 63rd Regiment was almost wiped out in the battle of Taierzhuang. If Setani Kit had not withdrawn him, it would be unknown how many people would have left in the 63rd Regiment.

Even if Isotani Ryosuke later took out two brigades from the Nagase Brigade and temporarily joined the Fuego United, it failed to prevent the gang from performing poorly in the later battle.

Later, Seya Kiyoshi was lucky enough to list it as a backup, but it became the most retained troops among all the troops.

In other words, this 63rd Regiment, which has been defeated, has now become the absolute main force in the hands of the Seya Detachment.

"General, do you think this Honorary First Division can stop the invincible Imperial Army?"

"I have confidence in General Dohihara. The Chinese army cannot stop our army's troops at all. Even if they surround us, the final victory must belong to the empire. The glory of His Majesty the Emperor will shine on the entire China!" A Japanese magistrate stood up and shouted frantically.

The lower the officer, the more fanatical he is. This is a very unique phenomenon in the Japanese army, so there are frequent events that are as follows.

It does not mean that senior generals are no longer crazy. They are just as crazy and aggressive, but they know better how to compromise. Radical officers are not able to fully grasp the power of the state, so military orders cannot be coordinated and unified.

Why did Japan's invasion of China fail? This is certainly the outbreak of World War II. China chose the ally and received a lot of assistance. The Chinese people united in foreign countries to fight against the enemy and not become slaves to the country. This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the failure of Japan's own strategy.

There is no complete strategy, too big ant appetite and too anxious to try to swallow the elephant, and you can taste the sweetness at the beginning, but when it swallows more and more, it will become indigestion and finally hold itself to death.

"No one doubts General Doihara's ability, but can we last until that time?" Colonel Akashishigehachi asked calmly.

"Tomorrow morning, the Imperial Air Force will once again drop some ammunition, food and medicine supplies to us, with a quantity of about ten tons."

"With supplies, we can stick with it."

"Yes, it's easy to do if you have supplies..."

A trace of gloom flashed in Setani's eyes. He could hear that the people under him still hoped that the external war situation would change and wanted to stick to the waiting for help.

But his intuition told him that reinforcements would be there, but that was to collect their bodies.

Red Boat Town, Honorary First Division and Front Leader of the Luxi Corps.

"The division seat intercepted a telegram. The Japanese army will airdrop supplies to the surrounding Segaya detachment and Sakamoto detachment tomorrow morning. The ground signal is that the Japanese Army flag firewood piles!"

"Oh, this is a good thing."

"Master, this is not a good thing. If the Japanese airdrop supplies, they can hold on for a longer time!"

"Staff Officer Hu, your mind is not turning at all. We intercepted the telegram. Can the Japanese airdrop supplies still come to their hands?" Long Yingqin smiled.

"Master, should I send a telegram to Chief Li immediately?"

"I just thought you were a little smart, why are you stupid now? You must keep such good things yourself. Don't we shortage of supplies and ammunition?" Leng Feng cursed with a smile.

"Hehe, I understand, Master, I'm really confused!"

"Send a telegram to Luo Qianzi. The opportunity to get rich comes depends on whether he can catch it." Leng Feng ordered.

"clear!"

There is no accurate positioning system in this era. If you want to find the right position, someone must guide you on the ground, and it depends on who can deceive the Japanese transport plane first.

If you don’t do it well, you can really make a fortune. Although the Japanese army is a big family, the big family cannot afford such consumption.

The risk is that once the airdrop fails, the Japanese army will be alert and look for the reasons, and then they may find that their radio communications are being monitored and deciphered.

However, this is just one of the situations, and the Japanese army may not think of this. Didn’t they always look down on the Chinese?

Deciphering communication passwords, Chinese people cannot do such high-tech things, so they will not believe them until there is no direct evidence.

Besides, the Honorary First Division can monitor and decipher some secrets of Japanese communications and telegrams. At present, only a very small number of people know about it, and even Chiang Kai-shek is not aware of it.

Therefore, the Japanese cannot detect it for a while, and it is very likely to be an accident.
