Hankou, the new residence of the Chairman.

"Niang Xipi!"

"These damn devils! One day, I will make them pay a heavy price!"

"Teng County is about to fall!"

"Why did the Japanese attack come so quickly?"

"How long did it take for the capital to fall! In less than half a year, they have already captured Teng County? And there is also fighting in Linyi, and it is the main force of Sakagaki's Fifth Division that is attacking!"

"I don't know if Zhang and Pang's armies can resist the attack of this elite Japanese army!"

"It really annoys me!"

"Don't we have a million-strong army and not many generals who can fight the Japanese?"

When dawn was approaching, the Chairman also received an urgent battle report.

Originally, Captain Wang wanted to show it to the Chairman after dawn.

But because it was too urgent, I had no choice but to bite the bullet, wake up the Chairman before dawn, and show it to the other party.

But because he was so angry when he woke up and the contents of the telegram were all bad news, the Chairman's temper was very bad.

In response to the Chairman's rage, Captain Wang did not dare to say anything. He stood aside with his head lowered, waiting for the Chairman's rage to end.

"What's the current defense situation in the fifth theater?"

"If Teng County is lost, will they have a more complete defense system to counterattack the Japanese army, or is there any way to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to attack Xuzhou?"

After venting his anger, the chairman of the committee was still angry and continued to ask about the chief guard Wang.

Because the chairman of the committee has recently asked him to keep an eye on the war situation in Xuzhou, and report to him immediately if there is any disturbance. For example, the current situation that Teng County has been captured by the Japanese army is one of them.

example.

"The fifth theater is currently holding an emergency combat meeting. I'm afraid we won't know what their defense system is like until dawn tomorrow!"

Captain Wang quickly reported what he knew about the situation.

"Niang Xipi! No! I can't completely rely on them. I have to go to Xuzhou for inspection and guidance!"

Hearing this, the chairman was also unhappy and scolded.

"Yes! Commission!"

Captain Wang timidly agreed again.

"Hmph! Send me a telegram to Commander Li immediately. I will arrive in Xuzhou the day after tomorrow to observe their war deployment! I can't let the city of Xuzhou be lost!"

"Otherwise our side of Hankou will also be in danger!"

The committee member continued to roar angrily.

"Yes! Commission!"

Captain Wang quickly agreed again.

Then the Chairman was in a bad mood again and cursed a lot.

Japanese 5th Division Headquarters,

Division Commander Itagaki Seishiro, Sakamoto Detachment Captain Sakamoto Jun, 11th Regiment Commander Nagano Yuichiro, 21st Regiment Commander Katano Sadami, and 5th Regiment Artillery Regiment Commander Takeda Kaoru

There are also senior Japanese soldiers such as Sihei Oba, commander of the 42nd Regiment, Noboru Kunisaki, commander of the Kunisaki Detachment, Tetsujiro Yamada, commander of the 41st Regiment, and Takaji Wada, commander of the 5th Engineer Regiment.

The officers were all summoned for an emergency combat meeting.

"I just received good news from the Isotani Division and Setani's team. They have successfully attacked Teng County, and they have almost wiped out all the Chinese troops defending Teng County!"

"So in order to cooperate with the 10th Division and Setani Detachment to continue fighting in the direction of Jinpu Road, we need to defeat all the 40th Army and the 59th Army under the 3rd Army of the China Army as soon as possible, and even

Wipe them all out!"

"We must win the Battle of Linyi! We absolutely cannot lose to the 10th Division and Setani Detachment!"

"When I think of the triumphant smiles of Division Commander Isoya Rensuke, Chief of Staff Tsutsumi Takaki, and Major General Kei Setani of the 33rd Infantry Brigade, I want you to achieve better results than them.

Even more brilliant achievements!”

"I want you to use your record to tell them that our Fifth Division is the flower of the empire's imperial army and the real steel force!"

"So tell me how we should defeat and hold on to the Chinese Army in Linyi area now!"

The division commander Seishiro Itagaki glanced at the Japanese officers standing around him and spoke to the staff straight to the point.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander! Let us, the 11th Regiment, take the lead in dealing with the 59th Army of the China Army!"

"This is just a fleeing force of the Northeast Army. I am very confident that I can completely defeat them!"

As soon as the division commander Seishiro Itagaki finished speaking, the captain of the 11th Regiment Nagano Yuichiro immediately took the lead and loudly accepted the combat mission.

"Hahaha! Nagano-kun! Are you too loud?"

"Although the China Army is a weak force that is vulnerable to attack, it is the strength of an army! How can your regiment, which has several thousand troops, take down the strength of an army of the China Army?"

"Isn't it too forced?"

But when the commander of the regiment, Yuichiro Nagano, just slapped his chest and was about to take charge of the 59th Army of the Warring States Army, he was ridiculed by Jun Sakamoto, the captain of the Sakamoto detachment.

"Of course it's possible! Don't forget what kind of troops the Northeastern Army came from. Our Imperial Army only invested a very small amount of troops and was able to drive these Northeastern Army out of their country like bereaved dogs.

Hometown has occupied the entire land in Northeast China, even places like Beiping and Taiyuan, we have fully occupied it!"

"So the Northeastern Army, which is a mere army, is not in our eyes at all. Are you, Sakamoto, afraid of these Northeastern China Army who are vulnerable and fleeing?"

"Hahaha! It seems I need to re-recognize your courage, Sakamoto-kun!"

In response to the ridicule of Jun Sakamoto, the captain of the Sakamoto detachment, Yuichiro Nagano, the captain of the 11th Regiment, retorted dismissively.

"you!"

"Who is afraid of the 59th Army of the China Army? I just don't want you to pick the weakest China Army to deal with so easily and then take away all the credit!"

"Of course, I am also worried that the 11th Regiment like you, whose combat effectiveness is not very good, will encounter a counterattack by the China Army, which has the same low combat effectiveness!"

"Maybe your 11th Regiment will capsize in the gutter!"

Hearing this, Jun Sakamoto, the captain of the Sakamoto detachment, retorted in a very angry mood.

"Say it one more time! Sakamoto-kun!"

Being despised by the detachment leader Jun Sakamoto, the captain of the 11th Regiment Nagano Yuichiro suddenly roared angrily.

"Baga! What are you two doing?"

"The battle hasn't started yet, and victory hasn't even begun yet, so why are you making so much noise!"

"Don't you two take me as the division commander seriously? Do you want me to deal with you two immediately?"

But at the moment when the commander of the regiment, Yuichiro Nagano, was furious, and before the commander of the detachment, Shun Sakamoto, could reply, the commander of the division, Seishiro Itagaki, suddenly turned black and scolded angrily.

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

...

...

After being scolded by division commander Seishiro Itagaki, detachment leader Jun Sakamoto and commander Nagano Yuichiro of the 11th Regiment immediately did not dare to talk nonsense again, but quickly nodded and begged for mercy.

Chapter completed!
