Chapter 836: The Shocked Devil's Base Camp (Chapter 2 is here today)
The flight unit that protected Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi from arriving at Hong Kong Island went very smoothly and delivered him safely.
As soon as Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi arrived there, he was escorted by a large group of guards and escorted by a car unit, and quickly arrived at the new headquarters of Lieutenant General Tokiyoshi of the 38th Division on the front line.
Because the old headquarters was completely destroyed by Liu Feiyang's Scud missiles.
Therefore, the Japanese troops who were routed out of the city center by Liu Feiyang's troops also established new headquarters in new places.
So when Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi came to the new headquarters of the 38th Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi, he also felt that the atmosphere here was a little different, that is, the morale was not as high as that of other Japanese troops who had achieved impressive results in fighting south.
But he seemed very depressed,
Especially after he met with the two remaining regiments who were dead, he was even more surprised that the casualties of the 38th Division were so serious.
Not only did the infantry suffer 3,000 casualties, this was the strength of a regiment.
Moreover, even the officers suffered most casualties, especially the senior Japanese officers, who suffered the most casualties.
Therefore, there are very few Japanese officers left below, and they need to be re-appropriated and replenished to have a complete Japanese officer establishment.
"Baga Yalu! What kind of Chinese army came here? And it is so powerful in combat?"
"What does our intelligence network do for a living?"
"Why haven't you found out the other party's details for me yet?"
"It's been so long since the other party entered here quietly to when I came here to take over, and yet I still don't know anything about it?"
"Are these intelligence agents all wimps? Is this how they do their intelligence work?"
As soon as Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi learned clearly about the casualties of the 38th Division after the war, he immediately cursed the Japanese Intelligence Department with a bad temper.
Because he had never thought that the Japanese 38th Division would suffer so many casualties, it simply refreshed his perspective.
Especially since he led his troops to occupy the entire Yangcheng, there has never been such a huge casualty at one time, or even the casualties of a whole brigade.
However, in response to his insults, the two remaining Japs commander Kei Tanaka and commander Akio Yoshida were in low spirits and listened quietly without any reaction or response.
He was even a little uneasy, worried that he would be scolded by this new commander who had a bad temper.
"How much artillery do we have left?"
"I'm not talking about how many artillery pieces are left in the 38th Division, but how many artillery pieces are left in the entire 23rd Group Army!"
After venting his furious temper, Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi suddenly remembered the most important thing and hurriedly asked.
"There are less than 20 artillery pieces left, all of 75mm caliber and below!"
"As for the heavy artillery group, it was all destroyed by the heavy artillery group and the new artillery group of the China Army in the city center. Not a single one was left. Even the artillerymen of the heavy artillery group were completely wiped out!"
To Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi's sudden inquiry, Japs Captain Kei Tanaka responded timidly.
"Bagayalu! Are you kidding me?"
"What kind of battle are you fighting? Is this China Army of unknown origin so powerful that it defeated your entire 23rd Army so miserably?"
"There are only a few artillery pieces left in the entire army?"
"And even the artillery unit is about to cease to exist?"
"What kind of bad war are you fighting?"
"With this mess like this, how do you want me to direct you to fight? Do you all use rifles to fight?"
"Bagaya road!"
"You are all trash!"
"Then how many tanks and combat vehicles do we have left? Are we running out of them again?"
As soon as he heard that the heavy artillery group was gone and that there were not many small-caliber artillery groups left, Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi suddenly showed his veins and roared like a thunderbolt.
Because he just took over the army,
How could he play with such a bad hand from the beginning?
So it would be strange if he didn't fly into a rage!
And the matter is not completely over yet,
So he continued to ask.
"All the anti-tank weapons and equipment of the Chinese Army have been blown up and there is not a single one left!"
"Your Excellency Commander!"
Faced with Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi's questioning, Japs commander Kei Tanaka looked like he was about to cry, and continued to respond with a frightened expression on his face.
Now he was not afraid of Liu Feiyang's command, but he was afraid that the grumpy new commander in front of him would kill him in a rage.
So after answering, he waited with fear and fear for Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi's furious scolding.
"Bagayalu! What do you do for a living?"
"The heavy artillery force is gone, the tank and chariot force is gone, and even the flying force has lost many pilots? What kind of bad war are you fighting?"
"It's simply ruined the face of our Imperial Army!"
"Facing useless troops like yours, how do you want me to command you to fight?"
"Baga Yalu! This time I was killed by you. There are no heavy artillery, there are very few artillery pieces left, and there are no tanks, chariots and flying troops to assist in the battle. Why do you expect me to have a China Army with heavy artillery?"
When Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi heard the answer he least wanted to know, he immediately turned ferocious and roared hysterically.
Although before he came here, he already knew that the Japanese flying troops allocated to the 23rd Group had suffered heavy casualties.
But what he didn't expect was that all the heavy artillery groups were destroyed by the explosion, and even the tanks and chariots were gone.
"The communications officer was there. He immediately sent me a telegram to tell me the truth about the mess here, and asked them to immediately add new pilot units to support the operation, as well as new heavy artillery units, artillery units, and tanks and combat vehicles.
Come and help fight!"
"How else would we fight this battle?"
"There was such a serious defeat, but I didn't report it to the base camp in time. This time I was in a terrible situation. How can I clean up such a mess now?"
Then, Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi called the Japanese communications officer Ikeda Sa, who was here with his head down while being scolded, and gave instructions with a very ugly look on his face.
"Hai!"
Japanese communications officer Ikeda Sa was covered in cold sweat and quickly nodded and agreed.
Then, as if he had been relieved, he relaxed and hurriedly followed the order.
"Bagaya road!"
"Deploy more reconnaissance troops to me immediately to fully investigate every move of this China army of unknown origin. Report to me every fifteen minutes, and reorganize the troops immediately!"
"You losers, don't let me continue to lose the battle this time, or I will kill you! Die!"
"With those Chinese troops, leave no one behind!"
However, after venting his furious temper, Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi quickly calmed down and issued various combat orders.
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
"Hai!"
.......
.......
As soon as his combat order was issued, the Japanese commander Kei Tanaka, the commander Yoshida Akio, and a large number of Japanese officers immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed in unison.
Lieutenant General Ando Rikichi ignored these useless Japanese officers and immediately went to the communications room in person to ask for help from the Air Force and the Navy.
He needs a large number of aviation forces to support operations,
Also, let the 20th Group Army on the Yangcheng side immediately find a way to transport some heavy artillery groups, artillery groups, and tanks and chariots by sea to support him in the battle.
And the report telegram he sent out in anger was quickly delivered to the base camp.
