Zou County, now Zou City.

Headquarters of the Raigu Detachment of the Japanese Army.

As mentioned earlier, the Seya detachment was formed mainly from the 10th Brigade of the 33rd Field Infantry of the Japanese Division.

The brigade commander, Major General Seya Kei, thus became the supreme commander of the main Japanese army, and in fact replaced the division commander Ryosuke Tsubuya, who was far away in Jining, and exercised command.

Basically, full command of the 10th Division's operations on the Jinpu Road.

When Yang Chen personally led the reinforcements of the Tiger Ben Regiment to defeat his vanguard troops, the 10th Infantry Wing, and recaptured Teng County.

Lai Guqi, an old devil, is holding a military meeting to discuss the deployment of the next battle plan.

Because the previous battle report showed that the various divisions of the Seya detachment had basically defeated the Chinese defenders around Tengxian with the 41st Army of the Sichuan Army as the main force.

and surrounded Teng County.

So, in the opinion of Kei Seya, as well as the adjutants of the Japanese staff of all the detachment commands.

It is only a matter of time before Tengxian County is captured and the Tianjin-Pudong Railway is opened.

Therefore, their purpose has been transferred to Taierzhuang and even Xuzhou in advance.

Since Kai Seya led his troops south from Jining, he has been invincible along the Jinpu Railway all the way to conquer the city.

During this period, he killed countless enemies without encountering a decent attack.

At this time, Lai Guqi was already full of confidence, and in his opinion, it was not a big deal to capture Tengxian County or even Taierzhuang.

His ultimate goal was to directly capture Xuzhou, an important city in eastern China.

Then he went south along the Jinpu Railway, attacked the two Huai, opened up the Jinpu Railway, joined forces with the Japanese army in Central China, and captured a large area of the entire East China, and then marched westward to occupy the whole of China in one go, so as to realize the great plan of Gongrong in Greater East Asia.

However, just when Seya Qi, the old devil, was ambitious and full of confidence, and he instructed his subordinates to discuss fiercely how to use troops in the next step and how to capture Xuzhou.

A devil messenger suddenly broke into the conference room from the outside.

To Seya Kai, he "snapped" and saluted: "Report to Your Excellency, Captain of the Detachment, the big thing is not good!" They had just received a telegram from the commander of the 10th Wing of the front-line infantry, Akashiba Yaezo Osaku, and they were attacked by elite Chinese reinforcements.

The occupied Tengxian city area, together with the station outside the city, was recaptured by the enemy.

The 10th Infantry Wing suffered heavy losses, and except for a few Imperial troops who did not enter the city and escaped, the rest of the Imperial Army was almost completely wiped out.

Request the detachment headquarters for urgent tactical guidance and reinforcements!"

Seya Kei even suspected that his ears had heard it wrong, and the smile on his face instantly froze, and the next moment it was replaced by anger and surprise: "Yaga Ya Road!" Have you figured out the number of the Chinese troops reinforcing Teng County and other specific information?"

The communications soldier shook his head: "The 10th Infantry Wing has just been defeated, and it has not had time to collect relevant information, so it is unknown.

However, according to the telegram reported by Akashiba Yaezo Daisa, this Chinese reinforcement force is well-armed and very powerful.

There is even a formed unit of tank fighting vehicles! ”

"Nani? How is it possible that there are formed tank fighting vehicle units in the fifth theater of operations in China? ”

Lai Guqi's face changed again.

Because there is detailed information about China's Fifth Theater of Operations, he is very clear.

Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops, they are completely vulnerable.

Otherwise, how dare he say that with the Seya detachment, with more than 10,000 troops, he can defeat it?

There were not many tank and combat vehicle units in China as a whole, and almost all of them were concentrated in the hands of the teaching corps, and those few German divisions.

However, these tank and chariot units had already been annihilated by their Imperial Japanese Army in the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing.

Even if there are, there will definitely not be too many, and it is impossible to become an establishment.

Moreover, if China's Fifth Theater really had such a formed tank and combat vehicle unit, how could it be that the Japanese intelligence department did not receive a single piece of information?

Although shocked, Lai Guqi knew that Chichai Yaezo would never dare to fool him with this false information, and since he reported it, it must be a bad thing.

So he twisted his face and shouted angrily: "Baga Ya Lu! Order the 10th Infantry Wing to immediately reconnoiter the enemy situation and find out the number of the Chinese army unit that defeated them!"

"In addition, report to the division and regiment headquarters, and ask the division commander to cooperate with the special high division to assist in the investigation, and support Teng County's detailed information such as the number and strength of the Chinese army."

"Haya!" The Devil Messenger slammed his head, then turned around and left.

Waiting for the intelligence news, Kei Seya paced back and forth in the headquarters with his hands behind his back, his face full of anger and anxiety.

Slap in the face, Chi Guoguo's slap in the face!

He no longer had the intention of planning how to attack Xuzhou.

Now he can't even take a small Teng County, and he has lost his troops.

Talking about the capture of Xuzhou, do you think that your face was not beaten hard enough?

The other devil officers at the detachment headquarters also remained silent very interestingly, drooping their heads and not saying a word.

After about half an hour, the signal corps finally went and returned, and saluted Seya Kei: "Your Excellency, the reconnaissance unit of the 10th Infantry Wing of the Forward Infantry has reported that it has detected the specific unit number of the Chinese army reinforcements that defeated them."

"Which troop?" Kei Seya immediately asked.

"Tiger Bunch!" The Signal Soldier replied.

"Nani? Tiger Bunch? Are you sure?" Seya was shocked and horrified when he set up.

Although his 33rd Infantry Brigade did not participate in the Battle of Shanxi, it did not prevent him from being afraid of the Tiger Regiment.

If the Tiger Regiment only defeats a brigade or a division, maybe it can also be said to be luck, and intrigue and so on.

However, being able to defeat, inflict heavy damage, and even completely annihilate so many large brigades and divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army is strength.

is as proud as Lai Gu Qi, and he doesn't have a little confidence that he can defeat the Tiger Ben group.

"Hay! That's what the intelligence reported by the 10th Wing said. The Devil Messenger bowed his head again in response.

A devil adjutant was also frightened, and said to Seya Kai: "Your Excellency General, if it is really the Tiger Ben Regiment that comes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win with our strength alone."

Humble advice, it is better to ask the division commander for reinforcements!

No, even our 10th Division may not be able to defeat it.

It is suggested that we should ask His Excellency the Division Commander to request additional troops from the Front! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency General, the Tiger Ben Regiment has repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Imperial Army on the battlefield in Shanxi. There were three lieutenant generals of the empire who died at their hands alone, and there were countless other generals and officers.

Now this army has become the number one strong enemy of the imperial army, and His Majesty the Emperor has personally ordered us to strictly guard against this Chinese army!

If you have the chance, you will destroy it at all costs!

Therefore, we must not underestimate them!" Another devil staff officer also thought it was right and persuaded him.
