The news that Yang Jing did not die quickly came in China and even the world, and suddenly became the front page headline of global news, making Yang Jing a world celebrity.

Some people who didn't know Yang Jing also met a man from the East like Yang Jing because of news media reports.

Then, out of curiosity, he began to inquire about who Yang Jing was and Yang Jing's life deeds.

Politicians from many countries also focused their eyes on this moment and began to carefully consider their positions.

Some countries that originally believed that the Japanese army would win began to gradually shake their confidence.

And the happiest, except for all Chinese, belongs to Ross Field.

"Ou! God forbid! I knew you wouldn't die so easily! ”

When he got the news that Yang Jing was not dead, Ross Field jumped up from the seat excitedly.

Then he accidentally didn't stand firmly, fell and chewed on, and half of his face came into close contact with the hard granite floor, and it swelled in an instant.

However, as if he didn't realize it, he got up and danced again like crazy.

This couldn't help but make a few big question marks rise in the head of his assistant Henry, but when he thought of the importance of Yang Jing to the entire Field family, he was relieved.

……

A few families are happy and a few are sad.

On the Japanese side, there was not only a big joke in Japan and within military circles.

Even internationally, they have thrown people to their grandmother's house.

A real shame was thrown abroad.

They had just announced that they had eliminated the Tiger Ben Regiment and killed China's anti-Japanese hero Yang Jing.

However, before a day had passed, the Tiger Bentuan sent a telegram to refute the rumors and fight back.

In the eyes of the world powers, Japan is really thick-skinned.

It's just a fight with the stick country, uh, no, there was no stick country at that time.

To use a popular phrase to describe the psychological reaction of countries around the world, I have never seen such a brazen person.

The only pity is that in this era, there is not only no stick country, but also no emojis, otherwise it would be more perfect with Tang Guoqiang's version of Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Lang to death.

The Japanese emperor and the cabinet headquarters were all furious, and they sent telegrams directly condemning the Central China Front Command and Okamura Ninji himself.

Jinling.

Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Central China.

Commander Shunroku Hata looked at the telegrams from China in front of him, his face turned green with anger, his chest rose and fell violently, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

After a moment, he violently pulled out his general's knife and slashed it down.

"Span! ——”

The solid wooden desk was cut in two in an instant, and the water glasses, telephones, documents, pen and ink, etc. on the desktop were all over the ground.

But Shunroku Hata was still angry, his face was distorted, he gritted his back molars, he couldn't reveal his anger, and roared hysterically: "Yaga Yalu! Okamura Ninji, this bastard, this is going to kill me! The crime of deception is a capital crime!

Damn, really hateful!

I'm going to take him to court-martial! ”

Chief of Staff Kawabe Shozo was also annoyed and angry, but he had to appease Shunroku Hata: "Your Excellency, please calm your anger, if you want to be held accountable for this matter, the greatest responsibility should belong to the former enemy commander-in-chief of the Battle of Huoqiu, the division commander of the 101st Division of the Imperial Army, Ito Masakai."

After all, it was he who commanded the operation on the front line, and it was also he who reported the information on the elimination of the Tiger Ben Regiment and Yang Jing.

Otherwise, General Okamura Ninji would not have reported to us rashly! Because he is also uninformed!

Moreover, this time he was able to encircle the Tiger Ben group in Huoqiu County, which was enough to prove that Okamura Ningji was one of the few people in the imperial army who could push Yang Jing into a desperate situation.

At least not before that, no Imperial Army commander could do that.

Although Yang Jing escaped, the Tiger Ben Regiment was severely damaged, and it was difficult to make a difference in a short period of time, which was also extremely beneficial to our Imperial Japanese Army!

We can take this opportunity to approach Wuhan and completely destroy China!

At that time, Yang Jing and his tiger group have become rootless duckweed, and there is no need to worry at all!

Therefore, it can be seen that General Okamura Ninji is a rare general, and for the sake of the future of the Japanese Empire, we should try to protect him! ”

Shunroku Hata also saw that the previous divisions besieged the Tiger Regiment, but not only failed to succeed, but were almost wiped out by the Tiger Regiment.

As soon as Okamura Ninji came up, the troops under his command were still a few newly replenished divisions, so he used a plan to surround the Tiger Ben Regiment in Huoqiu County, although it fell short in the end.

However, it is enough to prove that his military command ability is far above that of any other division commander.

Although the Tiger Ben Regiment was finally allowed to escape, it also caused great losses to the Tiger Ben Tuan and greatly damaged its vitality.

This was undoubtedly a good start for the Japanese army in Central China.

Jokes aside, this battle also greatly boosted the morale of the imperial army.

Moreover, while encircling and suppressing the Tiger Bun Regiment, Okamura Ninji also defeated several main divisions in the Fifth War Zone and occupied important places at the northeast foot of Dabie Mountain, such as Gushi and Shangcheng.

Now that Guangshan and Huangchuan are just around the corner, they can directly take Xinyang and control the Pinghan railway line, and the task of attacking Wuhan has not been delayed.

Judging from the speed and position of the march, the Jiangbei Corps commanded by Okamura Ninji is likely to be the first to attack Wuhan.

Therefore, at this juncture, it is indeed not suitable for changing generals.

Therefore, after Shunroku Hata pondered for a moment, he adopted the suggestion of the chief of staff, Masao Kawabe.

In the explanation and report to the base camp, the responsibility was shifted as much as possible to the division commander of the 101st Division, Masaki Ito.

After studying and considering, the Japanese base camp decided to remove Masaki Ito from his post and transfer him back to China to investigate his responsibility.

And let Okamura Ninji concurrently serve as the division commander of the 101st Division, continue to command the Jiangbei Corps, and attack the Xinyang area.

At that time, Ito Masaki had already commanded the 101st, 6th, and 106th divisions to join forces with the 13th Division and rushed to the Huangchuan front, where they were engaged with the defenders of the 5th Theater.

After receiving the notice of appointment and dismissal from the base camp, Ito Masaki was ashamed and angry, and was unwilling to return to China to face trial, because it would be a great shame for him.

It is also a stain that can never be washed away in his military career.

Therefore, this old devil who was full of evil and had Chinese blood on his hands finally chose to commit suicide by cutting his stomach in his division headquarters.

After Okamura Ninji got the news, he ordered his body to be collected and sent back to fat, transferred to Shanghai by plane, and then transported back to China from Shanghai for burial.

Okamura Ninji took over the command of the 101st Division, and personally went to the front line to merge and command the four divisions and Bai Jiansheng in the area north of Dabie Mountain, and launched an unprecedented fierce battle.
