"Yo Xi!"

Junrokuro Matsuura was also an ambitious man, and although he was also a lieutenant general in the Japanese army, his status was far inferior to that of the division commander of the standing division, let alone a military commander like Okamura Ninji.

Now that there is an opportunity to go further, Junrokuro Matsuura certainly won't and is not willing to let it go.

So his expression perked up, and he gave a new order to the communication staff officer who turned around: "Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the front army, just say that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army has crossed the river to the south and fled to the territory of Yangxin, and ask the headquarters to provide tactical guidance immediately!" ”

"Hayi!"

The Devil's Communications Staff Officer paused heavily, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Nakagawa Hideyoshi said again: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, if it is not what I expected, the Tiger Ben Regiment of the China Army should want to cross Xianning and enter Hunan from the Linxiang area!"

Therefore, we also need to strengthen the preparedness of the Xianning area.

Even if you can't block their way forward, you have to slow them down as much as possible and drag them until dawn, when the Imperial Army Aviation can take off! ”

"Yo Xi!"

Junrokuro Matsuura nodded and took Nakagawa Hideyoshi's proposal again.

……

Tonight is destined to be sleepless.

Because of a telegram, far away in Jinling City, the commander of the Central China Front, Shunroku Hatata, and the chief of staff, Masao Kawabe, were woken up by the staff officers on duty.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please forgive me for the interruption, it is really because of the great changes that have occurred on the front front, so I have to report it overnight."

Kawabe Masasan saw that Shunroku Hata was full of sleepiness, so he urged dissatisfiedly, "What happened?" Say it quickly! ”

"Hayi!"

The devil's staff officer first paused heavily, and then reported truthfully what happened in Yangxin County, as well as Junrokuro Matsuura's analysis and request.

After listening to this, Shunroku Hata and Shozo Kawabe suddenly became sleepy.

However, this loss in the Battle of Yangxin, although it was not insignificant for the Japanese army in Central China, was not so painful.

Therefore, Shunroku Hata did not lose his mind, but said in a cold voice: "Didn't Okamura Ningji say that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army is still in Jiangbei and Huangmei County?"

Why did you suddenly run into Yangxin County, Jiangnan?

Not to mention how the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army crossed the Yangtze River, after crossing the Yangtze River, shouldn't they take the opportunity to flee quickly in the direction of Hunan?

Why are you still attacking Yangxin at this time?

Could it be that Yang Jing is not afraid of exposing the target, so that he will be surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army again?

Or does Yang Jing have other plans?

Even? This branch of the army is not a tiger regiment at all? Rather, it was an elite unit of the 9th Theater of Operations of the Chinese Army, and their purpose? In fact, it is to create chaos in Jiangnan? To assist the Tiger Regiment in highlighting the encirclement of the Imperial Army's 11th Army? ”

I have to say, Shunroku Hata can become the commander of the Japanese army in Central China? Its strategic vision is compared to that of Junrokuro Matsuura, as well as Hideyoshi Nakagawa and others? Or is it a lot higher? The mystery is evident at a glance.

After a pause, Shunroku Hatatake looked at the chief of staff on the side, Kawabe Shozo, and asked, "Kawabe-kun, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Kawabe Shozo thought about it? Only then did he say with a solemn face: "Your Excellency Commander? He thinks that Matsuura-kun has not guessed, and the Tiger Regiment of the Chinese Army should have successfully crossed the Yangtze River!

Therefore, apart from the Tiger Regiment, I really can't imagine that there is any other army that can be in less than two hours? Captured a county town defended by more than 2,000 men, and also ambushed a cavalry wing of the Imperial Army.

As for Okamura-kun, the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army is still in Huangmei County, Jiangbei? This is just a phrase for him to hide his incompetence!

Just imagine, Huangmei County is such a big place? The 6th and 13th divisions of the Imperial Army totaled 10,000 soldiers, plus the assistance of aviation? Didn't even find the whereabouts of the Tiger Ben Regiment for a long time? And that's the point. ”

"Hmm!" Toshishi Hata nodded his head? Puzzled, he asked: "After the Tiger Ben Regiment crossed the Yangtze River, why did it deliberately expose the target?" ”

Kawabe Zhengsan said: "This, the humble position is not known for the time being, but Yang Jing is extremely cunning, and we can't use common sense to figure out his mind at all."

Perhaps, he thought that the Tiger Ben Regiment had successfully crossed the Yangtze River, and the imperial army had no way to take him, so he deliberately provoked! ”

"Shuffle!"

Shunroku Hata couldn't think of any other reason for the time being, so he agreed with Kawabe Shozo's guess, turned his head and ordered the staff officer standing in front of him: "Immediately send a telegram to Okamura Ninji and tell him that the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army has crossed the river and entered the territory of Hubei."

Let him immediately lead his troops south to pursue and suppress the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army, and I will ask the naval fleet for assistance and cooperation!

In addition, send a telegram to the 1st Aviation Flight Regiment and tell Zhongyuan Shengxiao that early tomorrow morning, a reconnaissance plane will be dispatched to search the area from Yangxin to Xianning in Hubei! ”

"Hayi!"

The devil's staff officer paused heavily, and then turned to leave.

……

The picture is pulled to Huangmei County.

Temporary Headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.

Although the time had come to 1 o'clock in the morning, Okamura Ninji had not fallen asleep, and not only that, but this old devil was furious in his headquarters at this time.

"Yaga! Damn it! Rice buckets, idiots, a bunch of useless idiots! What the hell are Shiro Inaba and Ritpei Ogisu doing eating!

Time has passed a day and a night, why has it been so far, there has been no trace of the tiger group, could it be that those people have put on their wings and flew into the sky?

Tell them that if they can't find the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army, no one should sleep tonight! ”

Okamura Ninji was really anxious, because there was not much time left for him, and if he couldn't find any trace of the Tiger Ben Regiment and wiped it out, not only would he become the laughing stock of his colleagues in the empire, but even his position as the commander of the 11th Army would be lost.

After all, the position of senior commander of the Imperial Army is impossible for an incompetent fool to hold all the time.

"Hayi!"

One of the adjutant paused heavily, then turned around and hurried towards the confidential room.

At this time, Chief of Staff Fujiwara Takeshi thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency, the 6th and 13th Divisions of the Imperial Army have been unable to search for traces of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army for a long time.

Could it be that we were wrong from the beginning, this Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army has already crossed the Yangtze River? ”

"Fujiwara-kun!" Okamura Ninji scolded with a dissatisfied face: "They have bad brains, and your brains are also broken?"

The Yangtze River is not only very turbulent, but also has an undercurrent below.

What's more, they still have so many baggage supplies, as well as tanks and combat vehicles!

Even if the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment can swim, is it possible that their tanks and combat vehicles will not be able to swim either? ”

"Hayi!"

Fujiwara Takeshi bowed his head and paused.

At this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly burst in from the outside: "Report! The command of the Front Army is in an emergency! ”

After speaking, he respectfully handed over the telegram in his hand.

Okamura Ninji took the message and looked at it, and his face suddenly turned extremely pale, as if he had just had a few pounds of stool.
