Three hours later,

Japanese 6th Division Headquarters,

"Your Excellency, the Head of the Reporting Division!"

"Something happened. The captains of the 13th, 23rd, and 45th infantry regiments, as well as at least one of their brigade's troops, were all wiped out by the China Army!"

"Now the remaining forces of these three regiments are being defeated and moving back towards our headquarters!"

"Please give me your instructions, Division Commander!"

Japanese communications officer Nagasawa Miura, covered in cold sweat, hurried to the headquarters. As soon as he entered, he felt anxious and gave an urgent combat report to division commander Kanda Masane.

"Bagayalu! What did you say?"

"How is this possible? After the 23rd Regiment was attacked and ambushed by the elite troops of the China Army, didn't I constantly send reinforcements to support their operations? Why are there still such unimaginable battle losses now?"

"The captains of the three regiments have all been killed, and each of them is equipped with a large group of troops? Doesn't that mean that thousands of imperial warriors were completely annihilated by them?"

"Are all three of their captains useless?"

"How many Chinese troops are the 23rd Regiment facing? And how come all the reinforcements from their three regiments have never returned? Are there many troops from the Chinese Army? Even so, they shouldn't be so vulnerable.

Right!"

"It's only been three hours since the war started, and a total of one regiment's troops have been lost, plus the lives of three regiment captains?"

"Bagayalu! Is my 6th Division so vulnerable? My face has been completely lost by these losers!"

"Immediately report to me the information on the China Army that annihilated them!"

"I must know how many of that army are coming! Why are they so vulnerable?"

"This is something very wrong!"

After hearing this, the division commander Kanda Masane, who was originally worried about the situation of dispatching reinforcements one after another to support the 23rd Regiment, was suddenly horrified.

In his dream, he never expected that such an unexpected thing would happen. It was impossible not to stun him in shock, so after the shock, he immediately became furious and roared.

Because this was a humiliation he had never experienced since commanding the 6th Division, and it was a huge loss of face.

So he quickly issued an order to ask Nagasawa Miura, the Japanese communications officer who came to inform him of the bad news, to report to him all the information on the national army that had annihilated the Japanese officers and soldiers under him.

Because what he needs to know is to know himself and his enemy, so that he can be victorious in every battle.

"Hai!"

"But according to the reports of our intelligence department and the reports of the surviving imperial warriors, the strength of the China Army that defeated them was about 4,000 people. It was not the strength of a group army at all, or it was the strength of a group army.

It prevented many Chinese troops from encircling each other together!"

"So I only know this much. After I learned the news at that time, I confirmed the authenticity of the news several times before confirming it!"

"So please confirm it with the division commander!"

Facing the furious division commander Kanda Masane, Japanese communications officer Nagasawa Miura reported in great fear.

And he also handed some information in his hand to the other party with a trembling body and fear.

"Bagaya road! What a waste!"

"They are all rubbish! Against a mere few thousand Chinese troops, so many people were killed or injured? There are so many officers? What do they do for a living?"

"Isn't this usually the case? Why are you so cowardly this time?"

"Could it be that they usually fight too easily and win too easily, so this time they didn't pay attention to the enemy's counterattacks and sneak attacks, and thus suffered a big loss?"

After hearing this, the division commander Kanda Masane almost felt angry, so he continued to spit and roar at the Japanese communications officer Nagasawa Miura.

"Hai!"

"Hai!"

.......

.......

Japanese communications officer Nagasawa Miura kept apologizing.

However, the division commander Kanda Masane ignored him and continued to vent his inner rage.

His throat hurt from scolding,

But he still couldn't calm down the rage in his heart,

Because he really couldn't imagine how his subordinates could be beaten by thousands of national troops and suffer such heavy casualties. This was simply something they had never experienced since the Battle of Songhu.

So it’s strange that he’s not irritable!

But a moment later, after he vented his inner anger, he quickly looked through the information documents handed over by Japanese communications officer Nagasawa Miura, and quickly browsed them.

"Bagayalu! What's going on with these Chinese troops?"

"A mere few thousand Chinese troops actually have a large number of heavy firepower weapons and equipment to deal with my imperial troops? They even have large-caliber heavy artillery groups? Are these the same Chinese troops with inferior weapons and equipment that we usually encounter?"

"How is this possible? It can't be that they obtained the support weapons and equipment from foreign countries to fight against our imperial army! Now we are fighting south, but we have occupied many colonies of these foreign countries!"

"So these foreigners will really sell sophisticated weapons and equipment to these damn Chinese troops out of resentment towards us!"

"No! I must report this matter to the Commander immediately!"

"Otherwise, once these Chinese troops obtain a large number of sophisticated weapons and equipment and enough ammunition to fight, our imperial army will inevitably fall into a bitter battle. These Chinese troops have a numerical advantage!"

"If we engage in a naval battle with these Chinese troops, we will definitely suffer heavy losses!"

"Things like this that are detrimental to the interests of our empire will never be allowed to happen!"

When the division commander Kanda Masane read the Japanese communications officer Nagasawa Miura and handed him information on the troop strength of Liu Feiyang's unit and the report on the battle situation, he immediately stopped losing his temper and cursed.

Instead, he suddenly looked serious and even murmured to himself worriedly,

After that, he immediately went to the communications room in person to call the headquarters of the Japanese 11th Army and reported to the commander of the 11th Army, Anami Weiki, that he knew something was abnormal about this unit.

Of course, after he went to report, he immediately reorganized the 45th Infantry Regiment and the 13th Infantry Regiment. The casualties of these two Japanese troops were also quite large. Each suffered casualties of one brigade, and they were all dispatched.

When supporting the 23rd Infantry Regiment, they were annihilated by Liu Feiyang's troops.

As for the Japanese troops of the remaining brigade of the 23rd Regiment, they were dispersed and supplied to the two regiments.

In other words, the 23rd Regiment was crippled by Liu Feiyang's command, and its establishment was temporarily canceled.

After reorganizing his troops,

Division commander Kanda Masane personally commanded his troops with murderous intent, building a defensive front on the spot and waiting for Liu Feiyang's troops to pursue him.

Under his command, the artillery force of the entire division, with a total of more than 30 artillery pieces, plus 8 heavy artillery pieces, was ready to be deployed at the rear of the army, ready for artillery coverage operations at any time.

Another 12 Type 97 tanks and combat vehicles are also assigned to fight on the front line.

At the same time, various Type 92 heavy machine gun strongholds and grenade units have also been assigned combat positions. They have all entered combat status and are waiting for help.

"Baga Yalu! These damn Chinese troops, if you have the ability, continue to pursue them!"

"I personally came to command the troops to learn whether these Chinese troops are so powerful in fighting. Even though you have a large number of heavy firepower weapons and equipment, you have annihilated so many of my imperial warriors and you have consumed a lot of ammunition.

Come on!"

"Then these damn Chinese troops will have to endure the artillery fire coverage and bombing operations of our 6th Division!"

"I will definitely kill all of you damn China troops, die!"

"A heavy price must be paid!"

"And I want to capture their commander alive, torture him, and then feed him to the dogs!"

"Bagaya! Otherwise, it would be difficult to calm down my anger. I have lost the strength of four brigades and the lives of almost 5,000 imperial warriors!"

"For such a huge blood debt, these Chinese troops must pay with the blood of my 6th Division!"

"All imperial warriors, get into combat mode immediately and prepare to meet the incoming China Army at any time!"

After his Japanese troops were fully deployed for the attack, the division commander Kanda Masane also spoke with murderous intent.
Chapter completed!
