The commander of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army, Maeda Takaha, was the 16th generation leader of the Maeda Hon family of the Kaga family. His ancestors were the famous Japanese warrior general and one of the five elders of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

His adoptive father, Torito Maeda, was named Marquis after the Meiji Restoration and once visited Europe and the United States as a member of the Iwakura Envoy.

Most of the nobles' performance in the Imperial Army of Japan was mediocre, but this Maeda Taki was one of the outstanding ones, with the legacy of his ancestors.

At the age of 19, he joined the Army Non-commissioned school despite his family's opposition.

After graduation, he joined the Guards Division in the Russo-Japanese War.

In the 23rd period of the Mainland University, this marquis ranked third with Umetsu Mijiro and Nagata Tetsuyama, and was one of the so-called elite saber teams.

He and Hideki Tojo were classmates in the 17th class of Lu Shi. His status as a nobleman made him far surpass ordinary students in the initial stage. Tojo was promoted to meet the requirements of Lu University and entered Lu University, four years later than him.

The hereditary marquis Maeda Taki believed that Tojo was "not only stupid but also short-sighted", while Hideki Tojo, the descendant of the No Musician who sang to the nobles, scolded Maeda Taki, "I don't know what the marquis who are as pampered as you do not know what the outside world knows."

The two fought from school to army, to Manchuria, and fought fiercely within the Kwantung Army.

He once strongly opposed the Kwantung Army's tough policy towards the Soviet Union, believing that provoking the Soviet Union while China is fighting will definitely not have a good end.

Obviously, his argument also offended many Japanese officers who were committed to making achievements.

The Japanese invading China were also isolated.

What he didn't expect was that the Imperial Japanese Army suffered repeated setbacks in front of the Sichuan Army. Even the 8th Division, which was in charge of Manchuria, was forced to go south to join the war. After he commanded the 18th Division to advance eastward, in order to rescue Itagaki, he went north to Tan County.

As a result, he lost command of the 18th Division.

The North China Front Army was also a marquis, and he trusted the courage of the Japanese army even more.

What's worse is that the Chinese army targeted its 8th Division. If they were not careful, they would follow the footsteps of Fumisaburo Kawakishima, ridicule Tani Risuke Tani, Tani Shouo and even Nakajima Ashigo, and were defeated or killed.

This is an unprecedented challenge in my military career.

Those who attacked him in front of him were famous Sichuan generals Guo Xunqi and Deng Xihou.

The Sichuan Army was in Taihu Lake, but it defeated the 10th Army composed of nearly four divisions.

Moreover, the 144th Division under Guo Xunqi was the least casualty in the battles in Taihu and Shanghai. It also participated in the Battle of Dawenkou. When it broke the 10th Division, it also suffered very little casualties.

What's more, the opponent was entangled with the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army and the Guizhou Army, and even the Central Army of the National Government was ready to move.

The division commander of the 8th Division suddenly felt that he could not find a place to reason.

In particular, he also received news that his rival Hideki Tojo was transferred back to the base camp and promoted to the deputy commander of the army.

Only then did he realize that his aristocratic status was not valuable in the imperial army.

Two brigade commanders and eight brigade commanders were rushed.

Deploy to deal with the night attacks of Chinese troops tonight.

At the same time, the staff members were asked to introduce in detail the organization and equipment of the opposite army, as well as the combat experiences of Chinese generals such as Lu Han, Guo Xunqi, Deng Xihou, and even Xue Yue based on the information collected by the intelligence department.

Brainstorming.

Hopefully they can raise some defense vulnerabilities that they have not noticed.

Who knew that the joint decision of the two major fronts caused an uproar within the 8th Division.

They were obviously Kwantung Army, and after they came to assist in the war, they would have to be transferred back to Manchuria.

Suddenly, it became the target of the Chinese army's attack, and it was very likely to follow the footsteps of the Kawakishima Division, Nakajima Division, and Isotani Division.

It was said that he was persisting for three days, and the Navy and Air Force cooperated with him without looking at the firepower of the Sichuan Army opposite.

Can the plane land at night?

Can you find a battlefield?

Too serious.

The Yunnan Army and Guizhou Army in front of us were so difficult to fight, and the elite troops of the Sichuan Army and the Central Army were in trouble again.

The situation is unimaginable.

It took a long time to face the reality with the encouragement of Maeda Taki.

With the help of the Chief of Staff, each three main infantry corps, one search infantry corps, one field artillery corps, as well as baggage, cavalry, and engineer corps, all made plans to stick to it.

Determined to hold back the Sichuan Army, Yunnan Army and Guizhou Army in front of him.

For Itagaki Seishiro to go north to Linyi, lead his troops south to return to the breakthrough, winning time and opportunity.

Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

It's different from the wailing sound of the 8th Division of the Japanese.

Xue Yue, who obtained the approval of the commission, decided to join the war, was full of energy.

The officers and soldiers of the 20th Corps were also full of fighting spirit.

Many generals of the Legion were disgusted with Tang Enbo and some people in the Corps Command's evasion.

They are also Chinese soldiers, and the Sichuan Army won one after another, and the five war zones have the right time, place and people.

After realizing it, I realized that the fighter planes were caught by the Sichuan Army.

Do you still have the nerve to be called the elite of the Central Army?

After the battle mobilization, Xue Yue and He Guoguang were very satisfied with the desire for war within the legion.

Soldiers should have the belief of not giving up. Not only will they face the brutal Japanese, they will have to be successful in bayonets, but they cannot be able to compete with the Sichuan Army, which has outstanding military achievements.

With a wave of his hand, all the troops of the entire corps advanced.

The lion fights the rabbit, and use all his strength!

Sure enough, after receiving the information that the 18th Division had withdrawn from Sun Lianzhong and headed south, Xue Yue laughed to the sky.

"Guoguang, Guo Xunqi is a mangirl. He cares about his head and doesn't care about his butts. He just wants to annihilate the 8th Division, but they are not prepared. The 18th Division will reinforce! If the war becomes anxious, at dawn, the 144th Division will be entangled by the Japanese again, and the planes on the sea will come, and his heavy artillery regiment will be destroyed."

"There is no way for the Sichuan Army to do anything. They only had three divisions heading north. In order to cover up their sights, they raided Dawenkou and asked the three divisions of the 22nd Army to go south and switch positions!"

"Don't listen to these sweet words from the Sichuan Army. He was deceived by Liu Xiang and asked the three divisions to go south. He was unhappy in his own good intentions. He did not integrate the Sichuan Army in Sichuan. When he arrived at the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, he wanted to incorporate several small warlord troops!"

He Guoguang smiled and did not argue with Xue Yue. Any general hoped to control the troops in full.

Orders are prohibited.

The Sichuan Army had some ambitions, and it was not a bad thing on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.

At least they caused huge damage to the Japanese.

"Look at it, this battle depends on our 20th Corps. I am going to use the 13th Division and 74th Army to support the Yunnan Army and Sichuan Army. Yu Jishi has already arrived at the Yunnan Army's position. The remaining troops are used to block the 18th Division of the Japanese Army that are preparing for reinforcements."

"Commander Xue, I'm afraid it's not a sniper 18th Division? They are one of the culprits of the Nanjing Massacre!"

He Guoguang gritted his teeth fiercely, wishing to destroy the 18th Division immediately.

Xue Yue's deployment has not been announced to the troops yet, nor has it been reported, but he understood that the 20th Corps came out in full swing to divide the two divisions landed by the Japanese army. If the 8th Division was successfully annihilated, Xue Yue would not hesitate to use his identity as the deputy commander of the theater to mobilize the Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army, and encircle and suppress the 18th Division.
