This is really not good news. The reason why the Japanese army was invincible in the battlefields of Songhu was because the developed highways and railway networks in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were particularly suitable for transporting materials and artillery.

In order to maintain single supply, the Chinese army did not destroy it.

Before the country could fall, the Chinese army used this style of fighting to kill 100 enemies and hurt 8,000 of them to the scorched earth war of resistance.

Whether it was Ashigo Nakajima or Tanisuo, they were a little stunned.

If all the roads and railway lines are destroyed and the Imperial Army's Sixth Artillery Brigade is heavily dependent on cars and trains, they will not be able to follow the 10th Army to fight westward.

You should know that even the smallest 150mm caliber cannon and the turret weigh more than twenty tons. A shell exceeds 30 kilograms, and the filling requires machinery.

Rely on rail transportation as much as possible.

Although it is a very forced thing to travel on the road.

Not to mention the destroyed road.

The heavy artillery brigade, which was regarded as a killer weapon by the Japanese army, cannot accompany the strategic forces.

Yanagawa Heisuke looked at the group of brigade commanders, and the division commander had a little frustration on his face.

Keep speaking!

"You have received a notice on the battlefield in Shanxi, have you all received the notice?"

The 20th Division was defeated, and nearly 30,000 warriors were loyal to the Emperor.

Fumisaburo Kawakishita was dismissed and Yamashita was transferred back to the local area.

The 20th Division is called the unlucky 20th Division, and even the soldiers who have been reorganized are unwilling to transfer their names to rebuild.

Looking at the group of division commanders, the brigade commander nodded with lingering fear.

Yanagawa Heisuke said seriously.

"The North China Front Army hated the Sichuan Army's 66th Army to the core. The base also believed that the existence of Feng Tiankui of the Sichuan Army's 66th Army was a shame for our Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire. Commander Matsui Ishione, when he got the information from Feng Tiankui and Liu Xiang in Guangde, he immediately asked the Navy to send two large fleets and 80 aircraft of various types to bomb Guangde."

It's so rare that the army and navy of the Great Japanese Empire have always fought to the death.

Originally, after the Kingsoft Guard landed, the Navy had nothing to do with them.

He was willing to cooperate with Commander Matsui to provide escort to the 10th Army.

Seeing the group of division commanders eager to know the results of the battle, Yanagawa Heisuke continued to speak happily.

"The Sichuan Army is extremely cunning and extremely dangerous. It actually evacuated its troops and hid the artillery in the woods in a hidden valley south of Guangde. HNA lost twenty aircraft and finally found the 20th Division snatched from Shanxi. The 108th Division's large-caliber artillery, braved unprecedentedly dense air defense firepower and blew it up!"

The conference room was full of applause. If you want to talk about the Japanese equipment, the biggest advantage of the Chinese army is artillery.

"Unfortunately, although HNA's planes were also throwing bombs and incendiary bombs, scattered on the highway, the Sichuan Army along the railway was evacuated very quickly and had little effect."

The equipment of the 23rd Army had been put into their hands, and the large-caliber heavy-running of the 66th Army was blown up. With the cover of the aircraft, in the eyes of several division commanders, the Sichuan Army was not enough to stop the advance of the Imperial Japanese Army.

"Of course, the investigation situation is not all good news. We sent some reconnaissance troops led by some Chinese-savvy officers to disguise China's collapsed army and go deep into the south bank of Taihu Lake. No team can convey local intelligence back. Several times, they all said that they were besieged by the Chinese army!"

"Even so, Commander Ishione Matsui still asked our colleagues from the 10th Army to work together and fight bravely, avoid China's national defense fortifications, and at the fastest speed, to bypass the southern shore of Taihu Lake, crush the Sichuan army, and have a prospect of the journey. Under the city of Nanjing, join the Shanghai Expeditionary Army and encircle Nanjing."

The division leaders in the conference room are all smart-eared and clear-eyed figures.

In their opinion, the damage of highways and railway lines can indeed cause them some trouble.

The speed of marching towards Nanjing was delayed.

But nothing is more tempting than entering Nanjing and destroying the Sichuan Army in front of you.

The division commander of the 114th Division was the first to stand up.

"Hisser Commander, I am willing to lead the Engineering Corps and the Jing'an Army of Manchuria to open the way for the entire army, fill in the highway for the Sichuan Army, and ensure that our Imperial Army warriors can successfully march into Nanjing!"

Yanagawa Heisuke admired this sentence very much. Compared with the two very qualified permanent division leaders, Shigeji Sumatsu understood his identity very well.

The 114th Division was in charge of the work.

In this way, the internal friction problem of the 10th Army can be greatly alleviated.

"Your Excellency Commander, the 16th Division was originally the vanguard of the entire army!"

"Your Excellency Commander, the 6th Division is willing to issue a military order to kill Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui, so that the Sichuan Army will pay the price of bloodshed to provoke our Imperial Japanese Army!"

With Shigeji Sumatsu's statement, Tanisuo and Ashiko Nakajima stood up one after another to ask for a fight.

"Don't worry, the 20th Division has been captured by Feng Tiankui, and I am 30,000 warriors in North China. We must pay the greatest attention to this opponent. You should read the combat reviews of the 20th Division in detail. Taking down the Sichuan Army is our goal, and entering Nanjing is also our goal. Therefore, I ordered the three divisions of engineers, Jing'an Army, and Chongteng Detachment to strengthen the unified command of the 114th Division, repairing and backfilling the road, and opening the way for the entire army."

The commanders of each division nodded one after another, especially the 6th and 16th divisions. They were in full state. Each division landed with 800 cars and a large number of horses were in a carriage. If there was no smooth road, this battle would not be fought.

"His Excellency Commander Matsui is very concerned about our battle situation on the Taihunan Line and specially ordered naval aircraft to escort us throughout the journey. If you inform us, call for the authority for tactical guidance in the air, from the wing level to the brigade level!"

This is good news. With the special escort of the Navy and Aviation Forces, you will be more confident in defeating the Sichuan Army.

Several Chinese masters are familiar with the terrain.

The Taihu Lake is not Taihang Mountains. These are all short and shallow hills. Even the height of the plane descending is lower than that of Shanxi. Wherever there are mountain hills, there is no Taihang Mountain to avoid planes.

"Sichuan has had a few decades of civil war. In recent years, the Sichuan Army has fought the Red Army again. Many soldiers have experienced many battles and have extremely rich combat experience. You must be more careful. The 23rd Army in front of us is the elite of the Sichuan Army and the direct descendant of King Liu Xiang of Sichuan. Judging from Feng Tiankui's good at night attacks in Shanxi, the enemy may adjust the combat time to night, so our planes will not be able to support it. I remind you again that when you go to Wuxing, you may encounter the Sichuan Army at any time. The Sichuan Army is different from the Chinese army we used to fight. They will take the initiative to choose the battlefield, maybe it is a plain or a pass. Please send a large-scale warning force in advance."

Night attacks, landmines, embedded explosives, and artillery raids are all labels on Feng Tiankui, the 66th Army.

Yanagawa Heisuke sent a review of the battlefield operations in Shanxi sent by North China to each brigade commander.

Following the information of various warlords in Sichuan and the military equipment status.

It covers the domestic combat experiences of some generals of the Sichuan Army Rao Guohua, Pan Wenhua, Tang Shizun and Guo Xunqi obtained by the Japanese army in China.

In particular, the war process of the Battle of Tucheng and the Battle of Baizhangguan was recorded in detail, and Guo Xunqi, Pan Wenhua, and Feng Tiankui were drawn with extremely dangerous symbols.

"Mr. Commander, I suggest that you make a clear message to Liu Xiang, the Sichuan Army, make a fight with Liu Xiang, and use their strategy in Shanxi to fight against us, and force the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army to fight against us in a head-on battle."

This is a good suggestion for Nakajima Imao.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of applause.

"Yes, if the Sichuan Army still has the honor of military personnel, we should face the battle head-on, and we should not be cowards to escape!" 南彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗彗�

"Our 10th Army, we must represent all the imperial troops of the Great Japanese Empire and avenge our shame!"

Sitting upright, Heisuke Yanagawa nodded solemnly.

"Yes, we need to ask Commander Matsui Ishione and contact Ueda Detachment, which is about to arrive in Shanghai to replace Guoqifeng Detachment!"
