Chapter 1494, Interlude(1/5)
Doihara Kenji continued to march towards Yanzhou.
Complacent and confident. Confident in victory.
The troops captured Baijiadian easily. Zhang Yong also fled without a trace.
The other party must be humiliated properly.
"Someone is coming!"
"Your Excellency, please give me your instructions."
"The Noda Brigade is ordered to..."
Before I finished speaking, I suddenly felt something was wrong. It was a pure sixth sense.
He vaguely realized that something might have happened.
Stopped abruptly.
I looked around and found nothing unusual.
Strange, where does the sixth sense come from? What happened?
"Report!"
The communications officer arrives.
The corners of Doihara Kenji's mouth immediately turned up.
Did Zhang Yong call back?
Yossi!
See how the other party quibbles!
I have already captured Baijiadian and am approaching Yanzhou. Even your tongue is useless!
Incompetence is incompetence.
There's no point in talking nonsense!
I will tell you with facts, who is the real king!
"Whose telegram?"
"Report! It's from the 10th Division."
"Give me."
Kenji Doihara received the telegram.
It was indeed sent by Rensuke Isotani. He expressed that he felt pressure.
The wording and sentences are clumsy. The first 90% of the content is nonsense. Only the last two sentences are the key point.
The 10th Division feels the pressure. I hope the 14th Division will be brave and diligent.
The translation is, I can't stand it any longer and I hope someone can help me as soon as possible.
"Sou Ga..."
Kenji Doihara fell into thinking.
It seems that the situation of the 10th Division is not good and they have to request rescue.
In the south, how many sieges did they encounter from the national army?
Isn't Zhang Yong in Yanzhou?
Zhang Yong is not in the south, so you can't stand it?
In fact...
Isotani Rensuke really felt a lot of pressure.
I originally thought that by launching a fierce attack, I could force the national army back and get out of the battle.
Unexpectedly, the national army was not fooled. Instead of leaving, they launched a counterattack across the board.
All the national army troops continued to struggle with the Japanese army.
The Tenth Division was surrounded by national troops. It was impossible to distinguish their numbers.
Based on comprehensive judgment, there are at least hundreds of thousands of national troops.
It's all Yanzhou's fault.
It was precisely because Yanzhou was captured and the Jinpu Railway was cut off that the national army on the southern line was so active.
The opponent's intention is very obvious, that is, they want to wipe out the 10th Division. By the way, the 5th Division.
Of course Isotani Rensuke couldn't agree.
How could a majestic division be wiped out by the enemy?
Therefore, we must fight while retreating, and gradually reduce our military strength.
National troops continued to approach from all directions.
At the same time, a large number of national troops also appeared east of the Jinpu Railway.
There is no doubt that this is the pocket array.
From Yanzhou to Taierzhuang, it is a pocket set up by the Chinese.
Now, two Japanese divisions are surrounded in this pocket, and the situation is not optimistic.
If the Yanzhou front line cannot be opened in time, Isotani Rensuke and Sakagaki Seishiro will have no choice but to break through lightly. The losses will be heavy.
To the west of the Jinpu Railway is Weishan Lake, where heavy weapons cannot move.
We can only break out to the east.
To the east are mountains and hills with no roads.
Only people can break out, and all heavy weapons must be thrown away.
Even if they can successfully break through in the end, the two divisions will be severely damaged and will take a long time to recover.
"Chief of Staff!" Kenji Doihara said.
"Your Excellency, please give me your instructions." The chief of staff bent down.
"Isoya-kun and Sakagaki-kun may be in danger. Order the troops to attack with all their strength. Anyone who dares to slack off will commit seppuku."
"Tie!"
The chief of staff turned around to deliver the order.
Kenji Doihara frowned, thinking about how to break the situation.
The Chinese people have such a big appetite that they actually want to eat two main divisions of the Japanese army. Who gave them the courage?
Do you really think that I, Kenji Doihara, am made of clay?
"Your Mightiness!"
"Your Mightiness!"
Suddenly I saw the chief of staff running back in a hurry.
He was holding a telegraph newspaper in his hand. His face was very anxious.
Doihara Kenji:......
A heart sinks.
Could it be that something happened to Isotani Rensuke?
Could it be that the 10th Division was completely wiped out?
How is that possible?
Or maybe something happened to Seishiro Sakagaki?
Damn it!
Can't the two of them last even this little time?
We have only been surrounded for two days...
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, our heavy artillery regiment has been attacked..."
"Nani?"
Doihara Kenji's cheeks suddenly twisted.
I thought something happened to someone else. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be me again!
Ahhhh...
Anger rising!
The Heavy Artillery Regiment was not doing well just now.
To be continued...
