Three days before Yamamoto Isoroku arrived at Songhu Airport, the National Air Force used almost 30 aircraft to bomb the Japanese positions in the northeast and northwest of Taierzhuang.

Then the National Army and the Army also launched a general attack at the same time,

The Japanese Setani detachment was defeated step by step, suffering heavy casualties, and finally failed to fight. Therefore, the Japanese Setani detachment could only quickly blow up all the materials that were difficult to move, and then fled towards Yixian County in great embarrassment.

Then when Yamamoto Isoroku arrived at Songhu Airport, the national army had severely damaged the Japanese Setani detachment and the Sakamoto detachment. The remaining Japanese remnants, led by their division commander Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke, fought to the death

Continue to retreat towards Yicheng and Zaozhuang.

In one fell swoop, more than 11,000 troops were lost.

Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke, the division commander who was in a state of disgrace and embarrassment, fled with his remnants from the encirclement of the national army, his expression gloomy to the extreme.

Originally, when he attacked Taierzhuang, he was in high spirits and did not pay attention to the national army defenders in Taierzhuang at all, because his troops not only had artillery troops and tanks and chariots, but also had aviation support.

bombing campaign,

Therefore, in his eyes, except for Liu Feiyang's troops, all the national army troops are vulnerable and can be trampled to death at any time.

It's just that these ants he looked down upon were killed after more than 5,000 Sichuan troops died in Teng County.

It was at Taierzhuang that the careless Japanese 10th Division was ambushed, especially the 33rd Infantry Brigade, which was lured deep into the enemy and arrogantly underestimated the enemy. This refers to the Setani Detachment.

"Baga Yalu! Damn the China Army!"

"My mighty Steel Division has been defeated miserably at the hands of these damned Chinese troops several times in a row. I must avenge this bloody feud!"

"Baga Yalu! You damn Chinese troops, just wait for me!"

When the division commander, Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke, rode on the back of his tall horse, after he was tired from riding, he suddenly jumped into a rage and roared.

Because he never dreamed that he would have such a embarrassing moment of escape, and he was ambushed and defeated by the national army with inferior weapons and equipment that he despised the most and fled.

For such a huge defeat and humiliation, the division commander Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke hated the national army, especially Liu Feiyang's unit, which suffered heavy losses for the first time.

It made him hate him even more. He blamed all the reasons for his defeat this time on Liu Feiyang.

However, there was no Japanese officer or soldier who could respond to the anger of the division commander, Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke.

Because at this moment, the remaining Japanese troops, many Japanese officers and soldiers are in panic, and there are still many wounded soldiers.

Because I was worried about the national army chasing behind me,

Even the Japanese troops are afraid of being surrounded and annihilated.

After seeing his rage and not getting any response, the division commander Lieutenant General Isotani Rensuke roared even more angrily, then continued to ride his group of already tired soldiers with an extremely gloomy look on his face.

With a flattering attitude, he moved forward and evacuated.

.......

...

At the same time, the headquarters of the 5th Division.

"Bagaya road!"

"What stupid thing did that idiot Rensuke Isotani do to actually annihilate so many imperial warriors by some China troops with inferior weapons and equipment?"

"It also involved my main force and suffered heavy casualties?"

"Bagayalu! Damn idiot!"

"And those damned Chinese troops!"

"Damn it! I must avenge this big enemy as soon as possible!"

"Otherwise, the reputation of the Steel Division of my 5th Division will be completely destroyed by these Chinese troops, especially the idiot Rensuke Isotani who dragged me down!"

"Bagaya road!"

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get!"

Division commander Seishiro Itagaki received a telegram from Sakamoto Jun, the detachment leader who was sent to support Isotani Rensuke's division, saying that they and Isotani Rensuke's division had fallen into an ambush encirclement by the Japanese army.

, now suffering heavy casualties, are trying to escape from the encirclement and suppression by the Chinese army.

He was immediately furious and couldn't stop. Inside his headquarters, he was rushing back and forth in a irritable mood while roaring with heartache and blood dripping from his heart.

Because the casualties of his 5th Division were almost 1,300 killed and more than 5,000 injured.

That is to say, the total casualties are almost 7,000.

Faced with such a huge number of casualties, Seishiro Itagaki, as the division commander, was horrified.

This was the most disastrous battle he had fought for so long since he landed.

Faced with the blame for so many casualties, he didn't know how he got it. Not only did he have to explain and explain to the base camp, but he also had to explain to His Majesty the Emperor and the local people in the country.

In short, after this defeat, his life will definitely be more difficult.

At the very least, he will definitely be scolded.

Just when the division commander Itagaki Seishiro was angry and panicked,

However, his new communications officer Yubonitz hurriedly came to him to make a report.

"Report! Your Excellency, Division Commander! Commander Matsui Iwane and Commander Shunroku Hata sent an urgent message. They said that the Imperial Air Force is now sending a new carrier-based aircraft group to bomb the China Army over at Taierzhuang!"

"So the two commanders hope that the division commander can give them more reports on the battle situation on this side of the front line, so that they can carry out all-weather bombing!"

The new communications officer Yuponitz respectfully saluted with a military salute and quickly told him part of the contents of the telegram that he knew.

"Nani!"

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Why did Commander Matsui Iwane and Commander Shunroku Hata suddenly send a fleet of carrier-based aircraft to Taierzhuang for bombing? Are they too far away?"

Hearing this, the division commander Itagaki Seishiro was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt surprised and worried at the same time.

"Your Excellency, the two commanders, have already prepared a temporary transit airport for this special new carrier-based aircraft group on their way to come, and in addition to this new carrier-based aircraft group coming to support Taierzhuang's first

In addition to the 10th Division, the Imperial Air Force also dispatched a bomber group to assist in the battle!"

"They will carry out all-weather bombing of the China Army's positions in Taierzhuang, especially the location of the China Army's headquarters!"

New communications officer Yubonitz continued to report.

"Okay! That's good to come!"

"I'm worried about how to retaliate against these damn China forces. Now that there are so many aviation forces coming to support the bombing, our 5th Division also needs to do some counterattack to cooperate with our Imperial Air Force.

The kindness comes to help!”

"Otherwise, the reputation of our 5th Division as the Steel Division will be lost!"

"Baga Yalu! Give me an order, find the right moment, and launch a counterattack within a certain range. I will kill some of the pursuing Chinese troops and use their blood to wash away the wounds of the officers and soldiers of our 5th Division who suffered so many casualties.

shame!"

After hearing this, the division commander Itagaki Seishiro was in a great mood. The irritability he had felt earlier was gone. Instead, he was thinking about how to counterattack and kill some national troops to avenge his hatred.

"Hai!"

...

.......

The new communications officer Yubonitz quickly nodded and agreed.
