One hour later.

The two old Japanese devils, Yoshika Ryosuke and Tani Shouo, returned to the heavy artillery position.

When I saw that the position had been blown up and there were dense bomb craters everywhere.

At the edges or bottoms of these craters, a large number of gun stands and various parts of heavy guns are scattered.

The huge and mighty gun barrels were all twisted into twists, without exception.

In addition, a large number of military vehicles were scattered on the position, as well as countless corpses of Japanese soldiers.

Seeing this scene, both Yoshika Ryosuke and Tani Suzuo knew that the heavy artillery wing was completely finished!

The entire heavy artillery wing, a total of 36 heavy howitzers with a caliber caliber were wiped out in this way.

Tani Shouo couldn't help but turn dark and almost fainted.

This is a field heavy artillery wing, a strategic force that is crucial to the Imperial Japanese Army!

"Baga! This damn Yang Jing, damn Yang Jing! His conscience is absolutely bad!"

At this time, his chief of staff, Shirō Ichiho, walked over from the side with an extremely serious expression: "Sir Commander, the battle damage statistics of the field heavy artillery wing have been found! 36 150mm caliber heavy howitzers, 23 were completely destroyed, 9 were severely damaged, and only 4 were lighter.

However, parts need to be shipped from the country to repair.

In addition, the shells were lost and all 55 military trucks were damaged.

There were about 2,300 casualties!”

"Baga!" Tani Shouo suppressed for a moment and finally broke out completely: "So, the heavy artillery corps are actually no longer there?"

"Hayi!" Shirō Ichiko paused his head and replied: "In terms of equipment, the heavy artillery corps can indeed revoke the number."

"Baga!" Tani Shoufu bit his back teeth and said, "Do you know where the Hu Ben Group is going?"

Shimoji Ichiho said with his head down: "As the heavy artillery position was attacked, all the main forces have stopped pursuing and rushed back to reinforce.

Moreover, when they came back, all the forces of the Tiger Ben that attacked the heavy artillery positions had been withdrawn.

Therefore, it is not clear at present the specific location of the Chinese Army Tiger Ben.

However, it can be concluded that the Chinese army's Tiger Ben fled southwest!”

"Southwest?" Ji Jialiangfu murmured to himself, then took a map from an adjutant next to him, took a brief look, and then said: "Baga! Fuyang can't escape 300 miles southwest, it's the remnant of the Dabie Mountains! You must never let Yang Jing's conspiracy succeed!

Otherwise, once the Chinese army Tiger Ben will rush into the mountains of Dabie, it will not be so easy for us to wipe it out again!"

Hiroshi Nakagawa, the chief of staff of the 9th Division, heard the sound and hurriedly dissuaded: "Secret Commander, you must! Although the damage in this battle has not been counted, it is roughly estimated that the total casualties of the two divisions of our two divisions combined have at least 15,000 people!

Moreover, the terrain of Dabie Mountain is extremely complex. With Yang Jing's treacherous behavior, if he forcibly pursues it, he might have fallen into their tricks!

Furthermore, our main targets are hundreds of thousands of defeated troops in the 5th theater of the Chinese Army and the entire Central Plains.

Therefore, there is no need to continue to compete with the Chinese Army Tiger Group and waste energy!”

Ji Jialiangfu said with a gloomy face: "Although we did not wipe out the Chinese army's Tiger Ben in this battle, we have already severely damaged it, and it is the best time to completely destroy it!

Otherwise, if we sit idly and let the Chinese army Tiger Ben Group escape, wouldn’t it be like letting the tiger return to the mountain?”

After a pause, Yoshika Ryosuke said: "And, both the Front Command and the Base Camp said that the Chinese Army Tiger Ben was already the most important concern of the empire!

Let us just find an opportunity and destroy it at all costs!"

When he said this, Yoshika Ryosuke looked at Tanisuo.

At this moment, Gu Suo Fu responded: "What Ji Jiajun said is very true. If we let the Chinese Army Tiger Ben do not care, once we can survive, our Imperial Army 6th Division and your 9th Division will be sacrificed in vain!

Not only that, if you want to destroy the Chinese army Tiger Group in the future, you will inevitably have to pay a higher price!

Moreover, at this time, the Hu Ben Group discarded almost all the heavy weapons in order to break through the encirclement.

Now is their weakest time, as long as they don’t give them time and opportunity to replenish staff and replenish ammunition supplies!

Then they are just a tiger without teeth, and they are not afraid at all!

What's more, even though the casualties of our two divisions exceeded 15,000, in terms of military strength, it is still more than 10 times that of the Chinese Tiger Ben!

Our Imperial Army has an absolute advantage in weapons and equipment, air and ground artillery power!"

When it comes to hatred for the Hu Ben Group, Tani Shouo is definitely only deeper than Yoshika Ryosuke, and not less than him.

When the moment he saw the heavy artillery corps being destroyed, Tani Shouo made up his mind in his heart to annihilate the Tiger Group!

He even worried whether Ji Jialiangsuke would give up his pursuit of the Tiger Group.

Now that he heard that the other party was also interested in pursuing him, he naturally spoke up without hesitation!

Hiroshi Nakagawa said again: "Two division commanders, should we report the situation to the Front Command?"

"Um!"

Although this battle was a huge shame for Yoshika Ryosuke and Tani Shouo, they did not dare to hide it or not report it.

Because the longer the time goes on, the greater the blame they will be.

Unless they can destroy the Tiger Group before the matter is revealed.

However, the intelligence network of the Special High School Course has long been spread all over the world. Even if they don’t report, it won’t take long for the Special High School Course to report this information.

Therefore, after a brief discussion between the two old Japanese devils, Yoshika Ryosuke and Tani Shouo, agreed to Hiroshi Nakagawa's proposal.

At the same time, in order to grasp the whereabouts of the Hu Ben Regiment as soon as possible, when cleaning the battlefield, the two old Japanese sent several elite reconnaissance units to pursue Yang Jing and the others in the direction of withdrawal.

And requested the headquarters to dispatch reconnaissance aircraft to provide tactical guidance.

...

The picture is pulled to Jinling.

Japanese Central China Front Command.

It was already five o'clock in the morning. Commander Shinji Hata was defeated by the Japanese army in China and defeated hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops in the Fifth War Zone.

And the empire's top-ranking confidant Tiger Ben regiment has now been surrounded by the 9th Division and the 6th Division in a small Fuyang city, and it is hard to escape.

Therefore, I feel very good!

So the old Japanese got up early all morning.

However, as soon as he arrived at his office, he had not sat in the hot water yet, and a communications officer on duty hurriedly crossed the corridor and walked over.

"Report to the Commander! Fuyang urgently sent a telegram!"

Hata Shunruo was delighted and thought to himself, could the 9th Division and the 6th Division of the Imperial Army have destroyed the Chinese Army's Tiger Corps?

It shouldn't be!

Now the sky has just turned bright and the aviation force has not taken off. The 9th Division and the 6th Division should have not launched an attack on the Hu Ben Regiment.

Moreover, Shinji Hata quickly noticed that the communications officer's face was abnormal and immediately realized that something was wrong.

He took the telegram from the communications officer, looked at it for a moment, and his face turned gloomy: "Baga! Bucket! Idiots, Yoshika Ryosuke and Tani Shouo are really useless stupid pigs!"

At this time, Chief of Staff Major General Kawasaki came over from outside and just heard the angry roar of Hata Shunruo, and couldn't help but wonder: "Master Commander, what's wrong?"

"You can see it yourself!"

After Hata Shunruo finished speaking, he looked forward with his right hand holding the telegram.

Kawasaki immediately turned into two steps, and walked forward to take the message.

"How is this possible?" Just a glance, Kawasaki Masaki's face looked as ugly as eating shit, and he finally knew why Hata Shunruo was so angry.

Two elite armored divisions were gathered, with a total of more than 50,000 troops, and they encircled and suppressed a dissatisfied Tiger Ben regiment.

Not only was he successfully broke through and fled, he actually paid such a heavy price, even strategic troops such as the Heavy Artillery Fleet were destroyed by him.

How can Shunroku Hata not be angry?

After reading the telegram quickly, Kawasaki looked up and said, "Master, don't you know what you plan?"

Hata Shunjiu hit the solid wood desk in front of him with a gloomy face: "The original mission of the Imperial Army's 9th Division and the 6th Division was to take Zhoukou, and then to advance west along the Longhai Line, occupy important central governments such as Luohe, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, and Xuchang, and cut off the Pinghan Railway Line!

Cooperating with the Imperial Army in North China and Central China, the main forces of the two major fronts of the Imperial Army, the First War Zone and the Fifth War Zone that retreated into the Central Plains, were wiped out in the area south of the Yellow River, at the intersection of the Longhai Railway and the Pinghan Railway.

Then they occupied the entire Central Plains region and prepared to go south to capture the Two Lakes region and completely destroy the entire China!

Now, the 9th Division and the 6th Division have been wasting enough time in Fuyang and can no longer delay it!"

But Kawazumasa stopped him and said, "Corporate, no!

First of all, the Chinese Army's Tiger Ben has long been the top priority of our Japanese Empire. As long as it is annihilated, its military achievements are no less than annihilation of tens of thousands of Chinese Army.

This has been confirmed in the previous Battle of Songhu, Battle of Jinling, and Battle of Xuzhou.

It can be said that more than two-thirds of the casualties of the Imperial Army have direct or indirect relationships with this Tiger Ben Group!

As long as the Tiger Group is successfully annihilated, it will be extremely beneficial to the overall strategic situation!

Furthermore, if we don’t seize this opportunity now and want to eliminate it in the future, it will definitely be as difficult as climbing to heaven!

And if we let it go and move directly westward, there is such a tiger army behind it.

For the Imperial Army, it was like a ray of light on its back and a thorn in its throat!
