There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the spring river is warm and the duck is prophet.

As a master of China, Seishiro Itagaki, this poem inscribed and painted inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Now I am the duck.

The changes in the Sichuan Army opposite the battlefield are not simply calling for the position to defend.

The Imperial Army's courage can penetrate into the heart of the Chinese army to fight.

It doesn't mean he's a fool.

A spring rain.

The earth-shaking arrival drove away the plane, making the Sichuan army jubilant, and the hidden artillery roared.

All of this shows that the Sichuan Army's persistence was to hunt down the two and a half divisions he led.

Strictly speaking, the troops he commands now are less than two complete divisions.

Five hills attacked at the same time.

After a few days, more than one infantry brigade of the Imperial Warriors had suffered casualties.

"Kun Niujima and Kun Numata, I feel it's not good. We haven't taken down the Sichuan Army in a few days of attack, so we are in a very dangerous situation!"

Guo Xunqi and Chen Li are one of the main forces attacking the 8th Division.

Most of the troops and artillery were lost, and the soldiers attacked continuously, exhausted.

The Sichuan Army's record and playing style show that this is an army that is good at grasping the weaknesses of its opponents in sports.

No experience in frontal defense.

This is the root cause of the Imperial Army's daring to attack Lincheng and take risks in attacking.

Facts have proved that the Sichuan Army is not only a stealing business.

It's still a hard bone in defensive battles.

Their fortifications and bunker groups are set up very cleverly.

Soldiers are fearless of death and can not only stand firm in positions filled with poisonous gas, but also launch artillery and harassment attacks at night.

The battle was day and night, and the warriors of the three divisions were persevering, without any reserve of combat power.

Can't take the opposite position.

Not only did the two major fronts surprise, but even the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire was also very surprised.

The three division commanders in charge of the attack watched the rain fall on the position and gathered together in a little frustrated.

"Ichigaki, have you been worried too much? The Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army have been destroyed. Who has the courage to siege us? Is it Sun Lianzhong? Zhang Zizhong, Pang Bingxun, or the Twentieth Corps that can only escape with bargains? If we are really destroyed, there are two infantry brigades left, the Twentieth Corps may have the courage."

It is better to be famous than meeting. Tokushige Numada used to respect this Fifth Division commander who was known as the courage of the Imperial Army.

The 18th Division and the 114th Division were given command for a few days, but there was no particularly convincing attack style. The artillery fire, bombs, and poisonous gas on the mountain could kill mice hundreds of times, but they still failed to take down the Sichuan Army.

I suddenly felt that it was just that.

"Mumada Jun, the role of Sichuan Army and Feng Tiankui in the Chinese army is not only to seize the opportunity and severely damage the Imperial Army. Never underestimate these Chinese miscellaneous brands. Linyi was clearly sure to win, but the Sakamoto Detachment was broken. The Maeda Division broke up with me for only two days. Who would have expected that the firepower of Sichuan Army, Yunnan Army and Central Army would be destroyed overnight!"

Sadao Utsushima reminds him to bring the arrogant Tokuda back to reality.

What makes the Sichuan Army particularly difficult is that they unite friendly forces and even know how to use friendly forces.

The Northwest Army and the Yunnan Army have both gained great benefits in their cooperation with the Sichuan Army. Now it is the Central Army's turn.

"Ichigaki, what should we do now? Do we need to send a report to the Lord of the Temple immediately and ask for tactical guidance."

Seishiro Itagaki would ask for instructions to report to the front army, but his habit was to report together with countermeasures.

He didn't expect that Sadao Ushima also saw the danger of his situation, and Seishiro Itagaki affirmed the doubts in his heart.

"If you ask for instructions or not, there are only three choices before us. First, head east to Lianyungang City and give up the task of attacking north and south. Second, the main force detours westward, bypass Guo Xunqi's troops, head north, and join the three divisions on the north line. Third, defend on the spot, and strive to defeat Guo Xunqi and Deng Xihouchuan's troops within today! Then face the Central Army Xue Yue's troops and other Chinese troops behind us."

"It is relatively safe to set out east, but all the previous efforts in the past few days have been wasted. The plan of moving forward between the north and the south will be ridiculed!"

Yes, it’s just the personal honor and disgrace of the three division commanders, so that’s all.

Xuzhou gathered a large number of Chinese and foreign journalists.

A heavy rain caused the imperial army to retreat to Linyi or Port City.

International public opinion still doesn't know how to humiliate the Imperial Army.

Even the Fifth War Zone of the National Government can calmly reorganize Teng County's defenses.

The North Line lost the major help from Dawenkou Airport.

The Sichuan Army in Teng County welcomed new reinforcements.

This battle will lead to a new stalemate.

"Ichigaki, let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the three choices, and then report them to the front army, so that the front army or base camp will make a decision!"

In terms of preserving combat power, it is the best choice to use chariot squadrons to lead the way and concentrate firepower to break eastward before the Chinese army closed the encirclement.

Although the remnants of the Yunnan Army and Sun Lianzhong's troops were in the east.

The three division commanders unanimously agreed that they could not stop it.

If they were stationed on the spot, they thought they would not be as vulnerable as the Maeda Division, but they could hold on for a limited time.

If it rains and does not provide air support, it will take about five days to rely on the offensive capabilities of the 20th Corps and the Sichuan Army.

This is the most likely way to win this battle.

The risks are also great.

The brigade sent by the 14th Division to Jining must be helped to restrain Zhang Zizhong's troops and Sun Zhen's troops in Teng County.

At the same time, the Northern Imperial Army must firmly restrain Feng Tiankui and not allow Feng Tiankui to send artillery and powerful troops to the south, and Guo Xunqi and Deng Xihou met.

As for the third option, we will join the north and join the imperial army on the north line.

The gathering of information shows that this is not a good idea.

Teng County was operated by the Sichuan Army for a long time, with a huge number of authentic tunnels and fortifications, and its mass was higher than the defense positions of Guo Xunqi and Deng Xihou on the southern front.

The Japanese army on the north and south sides converged in Teng County, and during the movement, they were hit by Feng Tiankui's trick of burying explosives, which made them a big trouble.

Teng County is a pit, and the three division commanders all agreed that it is the greatest risk to go north along the Weishan Lake to bypass Guo Xunqi and Deng Xihou defense line.

Repeatedly speaking, they had not sent the telegram yet.

Information from the North China Front Army came.

All Chinese troops in the Fifth War Zone were moving.

All the mobilizations are superficially a fact, that is, the Chinese army wants to encircle and annihilate the Itagaki heavy army group south of Teng County.

The three anxious division commanders immediately ordered the telecommunications soldiers to send the next response possibility and deduction of the Southern Imperial Army to the Front Command.

"Ichigaki, do you think the front army and the base camp will take that kind of action!"

"Persist, or send a brigade to the north, or wait for the Chinese army to surround us, we break eastward. This is a tough battle. Guo Xunqi and Deng Xihou are too busy to defend themselves and no longer have the ability to cause substantial damage to us in the offense. I am most worried that Feng Tiankui from the northern line will go south to disrupt the situation!"

"Liu Xiang's, Feng Tiankui's, they are the biggest threat to the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire. Commander Nishio has tens of thousands of troops. Can't even control Feng Tiankui's two divisions?"
