"Yoshiko Kawashima? I've heard of her, she is the daughter of the last prince of the Qing Dynasty, right? ”

Shouichi Terauchi and Naosaburo Okabe glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.

As men, they naturally know the nature of men very well, because they are two old perverts, but they are suffering from their own identity and dare not be so presumptuous as their subordinates.

So, after the old devil Terauchi Shouichi nodded, he said: "Then let Miss Yoshiko Kawashima try it, if it can be successful, the benefits are naturally needless to say!"

Muto Zhang hurriedly got up and bowed his head and said, "Haye! Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured, the Junior Duty Association will get in touch with the Special High Division as soon as possible and order Yoshiko Kawashima to carry out this top-secret mission! I must kill Yang Chen, the leader of the Tiger Ben Regiment!"

After a pause, Muto Akira suggested to Terauchi Shouichi again: "Your Excellency Commander, regarding the battle situation in Xuzhou, there is another suggestion for the humble position. ”

"Well, listen to what you say!" Terauchi Shouichi was quite satisfied with Muto Zhang's performance, so he made a look of listening and waved his hand. Starting

"At present, it is difficult to advance an inch because of the elite blocking of Tang Keqin's troops.

In the Linyi direction, the 5th Division also encountered desperate resistance from the Northwest Chinese Army, and its progress was slow.

Even the 14th Division, which had just arrived in the Taierzhuang area, was met with stubborn resistance from the Chinese defenders. Fastest update on PC:/

In this case, we might as well simply abandon the frontal attack and order the 5th and 14th Divisions to be diated instead.

In addition, the 16th Division, which was rushing from Central China, was directly transported by the navy from the mouth of the Yellow River to the mouth of the Yellow River and up the Yellow River.

Maneuver to Puyang and Lanfeng, and then seek an opportunity to land in Lanfeng.

Once we capture Lanfeng, we can make a detour from west to east and outflank the main force of the Chinese army in the Xuzhou area.

At the same time, it can also threaten the Central Plains region and force China. The army returned to help, so that it could not be fully engaged in the battle of Xuzhou!

In this way, once this plan works, it will definitely make the Xuzhou defenders lose an inch. For us, it is extremely advantageous. Akira Muto gave his advice.

After hearing this, Terauchi Shouichi pondered for a moment, frowned, and said: "This plan is feasible, but the 16th Division was heavily damaged by the enemy in the Battle of Chuzhou before, and even the division headquarters was wiped out by the enemy.

Although the unit structure and strength have been restored after re-replenishment, the combat effectiveness may not be the same as it used to be!

This roundabout offensive is likely to be heavily encircled by the 1st Theater of the Chinese Army. Starting

It's a tough battle, and you have to send a strong elite force. ”

When the chief of staff, Naosaburo Okabe, heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency the commander doesn't know that the 16th Division was heavily damaged by the enemy in the first battle of Chuzhou, and even the division headquarters was wiped out by the enemy.

However, their main force still exists, and after being re-replenished, their combat effectiveness has not suffered much loss.

General Toichi Sasaki, who is the commander of the modern division, and General Tatsuya Kusaba, the commander of the 19th Brigade, are all famous generals of the empire.

Especially Sasaki to a general, the use of troops is strange, and he will lead the 16th Division to raid Lanfeng, which will definitely achieve miraculous results!"

"Yo Xi! So, do as you say. Shouichi Terauchi happily nodded in agreement.

As a result, the Japanese army began to dispatch troops, and at the same time sent Kawashima Yoshiko, who was engaged in espionage activities in Tianjin at that time, to secretly carry out the plan to assassinate Yang Chen.

……

Three days later.

Xuzhou City.

Although the past few battles ended in victory, the Tiger Regiment repeatedly faced the main force of the Japanese army and was taken care of by the Japanese army, with a casualty rate of more than 60 percent.

In total, nearly 4,000 troops were lost before and after.

Therefore, Yang Chen planned to take advantage of this opportunity to rest in Xuzhou to recruit a group of recruits to supplement the battle losses of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

At that time, in Xuzhou, although there were many rich people in the city who were afraid of death, they fled.

However, there are also many refugees who have fled from Linyi, Taierzhuang and other northern areas.

Too many of them even have a problem with food, so there is no shortage of soldiers.

Especially with Yang Chen's reputation and the only appeal of the Tiger Bentuan in the world.

When it was learned that the Tiger Ben Regiment planned to recruit soldiers, there was almost a spectacular scene of all the people coming to vote.

There was no need for the Tiger Regiment to set up a recruiting point, and thousands of civilians flocked directly to the Tiger Regiment's station.

Yang Chen sent several battalion commanders under his command out, but they were still busy.

It is really the enthusiasm of the people of Xuzhou to join the army is too high, far exceeding his expectations.

In less than a day, more than 5,000 qualified recruits were recruited.

In this way, the strength of the entire Tiger Ben Regiment suddenly even exceeded that when they first came to Xuzhou.

However, these are all new recruits with no military training.

Both in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting quality, they are far from being comparable with the veterans of the Tiger Regiment.

Therefore, although the strength of the Tiger Regiments was replenished, its combat effectiveness was not immediately improved.

After the battalions were replenished, they entered the training in full swing.

Because Yang Chen knew that the war was not over, it had even just begun, and the Tiger Regiment would inevitably go to the front line again.

Therefore, he must race against time to seize the time to improve the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Regiment.

It is worth mentioning that after a two-day training and inspection, Yang Chen transferred more than 60 elite veterans and recruits with strong potential from the regiment to supplement them into the Dragon Soul Special Operations Brigade.

As a result, the number of special operations brigades has reached more than 120 people, which is about the same size as a company.

Of course, they were only in reserve.

Only after the training meets Yang Chen's expectations and can take the quenching pill can he truly become a member of the Dragon Soul Special Operations Team of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

……

Just when the Tiger Regiment replenished the source of troops and began to rest and recuperate, in the hope that the new recruits would run in with the veterans as soon as possible and form an effective combat effectiveness.

On the battlefield of the southern section of the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, as expected, the Japanese army in Central China successively captured Bengbu, Huai'an and other places.

The country is under storm. Army's Huai River defense line.

Originally occupied with favorable terrain and absolute military superiority, the country. The army's defensive line was fairly solid.

At least the little devil wants to take the country so easily. It will not be so simple and easy to tear apart the army's defense line.

However, Nakajima Kojiro, who had previously been ordered by Kawabe Shozo to lead several small groups of elite troops to infiltrate the Lianghuai region, was in the country one after another. The rear of the army is doing things.

Kojiro Nakajima first led this elite Japanese army Einsatzgruppen to attack the country. Many military warehouses behind the military positions blew up a lot of military supplies.

And attack the country everywhere. Army's logistical lines of communication, field hospitals and other non-combat unit targets.

Resulting in the country north of the Huai River. The heads and tails of the army could not take care of each other, and the people were panicked. In the midst of the chaos, the defensive line was finally broken through by the Japanese army.

After the Japanese army broke through the Huai River defense line, it immediately moved north and attacked Huaibei, Suxian, Suqian, Yingzhou and other places.
