Not only the 13th Division of the Ogishu Libing, but also the 6th Division of Shiro Inaba were also having a hard time.

Since entering the territory of Yuexi, they have been repeatedly attacked by small elite troops of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

These small units do not entangle either, and run away with a single shot.

Although it did not cause many casualties to the 6th Division, it was annoying.

In addition, the Tiger Ben Regiment also planted various mines on various roads from Yingshan to Yuexi.

Among them, there are many mines, and they are made of ceramic shells.

Although the explosion of such mines is not as lethal as metal mines, they cannot be detected using metal detectors.

Invisibly, a lot of work was added to the demining of the Japanese sappers.

Various reasons combined to make the Japanese advance very slow.

For a whole day, it has not advanced 50 miles.

……

However, after dark, the real nightmare of the Japanese army was just beginning.

As night fell, the Japanese reconnaissance planes were out of action.

The main battalions of the Tiger Battalion immediately divided their routes and went straight to the devil's camp under the instructions of Yang Jing, the regimental seat, and according to the information provided by the reconnaissance company, the sharpgun company, and the special operations brigade.

Due to the existence of such large-scale weapons as the T34-85 main battle tank, where the army of the Tiger Ben Regiment passed, the devils could only be forced to avoid their edge, and they were killed for a while and lost their armor, and they didn't even want the camp they had just set up, so they withdrew to the direction of Yingshan overnight.

……

The headquarters of the 10th Army of the Japanese Army.

One by one, the devil messengers ran in from outside.

"Report! The 13th Infantry Wing of the Imperial Army was attacked by the Chinese Army at night, and the situation was extremely critical, and he requested tactical guidance from His Excellency the Commander! ”

"Report! The 23rd Infantry Wing of the Imperial Army was attacked by the Chinese Army at night, and the situation was extremely bad, so I asked His Excellency the Commander for tactical guidance! ”

"Report! The 47th Infantry Wing of the Imperial Army was attacked by the Chinese Army at night, and due to the dispatch of tank and combat vehicle units by the Chinese Army, the Imperial Army suffered heavy casualties, and requested His Excellency the Commander to provide tactical guidance! ”

"Report! ……”

……

Okamura Ninji, this old devil is going crazy.

I never dreamed that the situation would develop into such an unfavorable situation in less than the middle of the night!

Listening to this unfavorable news, one of his faces suddenly distorted to the extreme, so gloomy that it could almost drip water.

Gritting his back molars, he kept scolding: "The tank tank tank unit is this damn tank tank tank unit again, if the tank unit of the imperial army goes over, how can it make the Tiger Tank Regiment of the Chinese Army so rampant!" ”

At this moment, the Chief of Staff, Major General Fujiwara Takeshi, suddenly walked in from outside, Okamura Ninji glanced up, and immediately got up to greet him: "Chief of Staff, you came just in time, where is the tank and combat vehicle unit of the Imperial Army?" ”

Fujiwara Takeshi said with an ugly face: "The tank and chariot unit of the Imperial Army is still in Huanggang. ”

"Huanggang" Okamura Ningji's face changed, and he asked, "How is this possible?" After a whole day, why did the tank and combat vehicle units of the Imperial Army not move a single step?

Do these damn bastards dare to disobey military orders? ”

Fujiwara Takemichi: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is not the case!

For some reason, the 9th Theater of the Chinese Army suddenly went crazy, and today suddenly launched a full-scale counteroffensive against the Imperial Army!

Among them, the Chinese army even dispatched aviation units, which seemed to find the target and specifically targeted the tank and combat vehicle units of the imperial army.

As a result, the tank and combat vehicle units of the imperial army were unable to drive for a long time, and they remained in the Huanggang area. ”

Okamura Ninji was surprised: "Yaga! How so? Are the people of China crazy? ”

"This ......" Fujiwara Takeshi bowed his head and said, "I don't know if I am lowly." ”

Suddenly, another communications soldier barged in through the door: "Report! The command of the Front Army is in an emergency! ”

Okamura Ninji said, "Take it and I'll take a look!" ”

"Hayi!"

The devil communication soldier paused heavily, and immediately stepped forward and respectfully handed the telegram in his hand to Okamura Ninji.

Okamura Ninji opened the message and looked at it, and his face suddenly showed a sudden look: "Shuffle! ”

Then, there was a message that was passed to Takeshi Fujiwara.

After reading the telegram, Fujiwara Takeshi said, "Your Excellency, since the 9th Theater of the Chinese Army suddenly did something in order to take the Tiger Regiment back to Hunan, then all this is easy to explain. ”

"Hmm!"

Okamura nodded in agreement, agreeing with Takeshi Fujiwara's view.

Suddenly, the old devil's eyes widened violently, and he said, "Not good! The counterattack of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army is fake, and it is true that it wants to break through and join the reinforcements of the 9th theater! ”

Fujiwara Takeshi strode to the battle map, studied it carefully for a moment, and then said: "If the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army wants to join the 9th War Zone, the nearest route is to take Yingshan, cross the Xishui, and cross the river from the Huangshi area to the south!"

Although this route is 300 kilometers away, as long as it breaks through the defense line of the 6th and 13th Divisions of the Imperial Army, it can be unimpeded all the way to the north bank of the Yangtze River!

Then, with the full assistance of the 9th Theater of Operations of the China Army, the Huben Regiment may not be able to cross the river smoothly.

At that time, it will be almost impossible to block it from entering Hunan! ”

After a pause, Fujiwara Takeshi continued: "Your Excellency, it is not easy to besiege the Tiger Ben Regiment in the occupied area of Yuexi, and we must not let it return to Hunan!"

Because the Tiger Ben Regiment has long become a banner of the Chinese Army, and even a spiritual belief!

Once the Tiger Regiment successfully returns to Hunan, it will definitely greatly boost the morale of the Chinese army!

On the contrary, if the Chinese army is wiped out, it will be fatal to the morale of the Chinese army!

At that time, it will be much easier for the imperial army to clear the obstacles, annex the entire China, and create the Greater East Asia Gongrong Circle! ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamura Ninji nodded, fully agreeing with Fujiwara Takeshi's analysis, and then said, "Chief of Staff, what do you mean, we should be like this now?" ”

Fujiwara Takemichi: "The Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army has been entrenched for a long enough time in the area from Yuexi to Yingshan, and its familiarity with the terrain is far greater than that of the Imperial Army.

In addition, they also possess strategic weapons such as tanks and fighting vehicles.

At night, it is unlikely that the Imperial Army will want to defeat it, or even destroy it. ”

After a pause, Fujiwara Takeshi said again: "Of course, we don't have to worry too much, because whether it is the strength of the troops or the quality of the soldiers, the imperial army is far superior to the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army."

Therefore, we only need to retreat to some dangerous places and hold out until dawn, so as not to allow the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army to break through the defense line of the Imperial Army.

At that time, the Imperial Army Aviation will be able to provide us with tactical guidance!

At that time, even if the Tiger Ben Regiment cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will be enough to smash the device's vain attempt to join forces with the 9th War Zone! ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamura Ninji nodded, with a grim expression on his face, and said: "Chief of Staff, just do as you say, and order the 6th and 13th Divisions of the Imperial Army to immediately abandon their original camps and retreat to a suitable and dangerous place."

At all costs, we must also block the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Chinese Army in the territory of Yuexi County! ”

"Hayi!"

Fujiwara Takeshi paused, and then turned to leave.
