"Hello!" The combat staff officer was slapped in the face, and he was also relieved, and said with a pause, "The telegram says that the three infantry wings besieging Jiangwan have been severely damaged, and the troops of the Communist Songhu Army Division have launched a full-scale counteroffensive and have besieged the rest of the 20th Division in Luodian!" Moreover, this has been confirmed by the 79th Infantry Wing stationed in Luodian Town, which has indeed been surrounded! ”

"Nani?!" Hideki Tojo instantly petrified when he heard this. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before entering the door, Hideki Tojo thought that there would be good news waiting for him, but he never expected that what was waiting for him would be such bad news! Oh no, no, it's not bad news, it's not bad news at all, Baga, it's a shocking news, it's a shocking news!

At this moment, Hideki Tojo was completely confused by this bad news.

After a long time, Hideki Tojo finally came to his senses, but he still couldn't accept the terrible news, and asked the staff officer again: "This is just a telegram from Jun Nakamura, because of the suspicion of the Third Fleet of the Navy, this guy's own suspicion has not been cleared, his words are not credible!" Not credible! ”

After a pause, Hideki Tojo asked again: "Do those three infantry wings in Jiangwan have a telegram?" ”

"Nope." The staff officer shook his head and said, "However, Your Excellency, according to the order, the three infantry wings besieging Jiangwan cannot communicate with the base camp, but must pass through the division headquarters of the 20th Division. ”

"Yes, yes, division headquarters!" Hideki Tojo's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, and he asked urgently, "Is there any news from the division headquarters of the 20th Division?" Ushijima-kun has any news coming back? And the headquarters of the 12th Army, and Kawagishi-kun, can Kawagishi-kun have news about the battle situation in Jiangwan back to Tokyo? ”

"Nope." The staff officer shook his head and said.

"Nani, no?" Hideki Tojo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he said angrily, "Yaga Yaru, it's over without a word?" If there is no news from the headquarters of the 20th Division and the headquarters of the 12th Army back to Tokyo, don't you ask? Are you dead? Are you dead? ”

"Hello." The staff officer paused again and replied, "Your Excellency the Deputy Chief, we took the initiative to ask, but we didn't get a reply!" Neither the headquarters of the 20th Division nor the headquarters of the 12th Army received any response. ”

"Nani, no answer?" Hideki Tojo said angrily, "Then continue to call me until there is an answer......

Before the words fell, a communications staff officer suddenly hurriedly walked in with a folder, walked in front of Hideki Tojo and snapped, then handed over the folder, and said with a pause: "Your Excellency, General Nakamura is in a hurry!" ”

"Nakamura-kun, it's Nakamura-kun again!" Hideki Tojo knocked the folder away and said angrily, "What did he say? ”

The communications staff officer paused: "General Nakamura's telegram said that he had withdrawn from Jiading County to Taicang County, and was shocked to learn that the headquarters of the 12th Army and the division headquarters of the 20th Division were attacked by an unknown armed force at about 3 o'clock this morning, and after a short period of fierce fighting, ......."

At this point, the communications staff member paused.

In the combat class, all the devil staff officers had already held their breath.

Because everyone has realized that something big is happening again!

The communications staff officer continued: "All the organs of the headquarters of the 12th Army and the headquarters of the 20th Division have been destroyed, and the commander of the 12th Army, General Kawagishi Fumizaburo, the chief of staff, Shigesei Aoki, the commander of the 20th Division, General Minoru Ushijima, the chief of staff, Ginnosuke Uchida, and all the staff officers of the two headquarters have been martyred!" ”

"Yaga!" Hideki Tojo let out a lament, staggered two steps, and slumped into his chair.

If Hideki Tojo was still lucky just now, then now he has no luck at all, and if the headquarters of the 12th Army and the headquarters of the 20th Division are destroyed by the Chinese, then it is not surprising that the three infantry wings besieging Jiangwan suffered heavy losses, which is obviously a set of combined punches.

At that moment, Hideki Tojo sighed and asked the staff officer: "What's going on with Jiangwan?" ”

Only then did the staff officer tell the contents of Nakamura Jun's telegram about the Battle of Jiangwan in detail.

The detailed inside story of the battle of Jiangwan was reported by Jun Nakamura to the base camp of the Japanese army, which was also arranged by Xu Rui, and the purpose was to clear the name of Jun Nakamura, so the information reported by Jun Nakamura to the base camp of the Japanese army basically did not hide it at all, and basically told what happened that night.

After listening to it, Hideki Tojo had only one thought, and that was to scold people!

Baga Yalu, how can you be so cunning? Xu Rui is too cunning!

Actually fire attack! What age is it, gunpowder technology is so developed, Xu Rui is still following the example of the ancients and carrying out fire attacks? If you attack with fire, you can attack with fire, it really worked, and you really burned the three infantry wings of the 20th Division into Jiangwan, and then took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the army was defeated!

Xu Rui is cunning like this, and Hideki Tojo really doesn't know what to say.

Xu Rui was cunning like this, and he didn't let the imperial army fight happily?

Hideki Tojo suddenly regretted a little, perhaps, he should really listen to Seishiro Itagaki's suggestion, and he should really let the 20th Division wait for the 7th Division! If the two divisions had gone to Shanghai together, there would have been no such thing! Because no matter how big Jiangwan is, it is absolutely impossible to fit two permanent divisions at one time.

Last night, if the Seventh Division was there, even if Xu Rui used the fire attack strategy to burn down the three infantry wings of the 20th Division that had entered Jiangwan, the Seventh Division would never give them the opportunity to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so that the 20th Division would be a little embarrassed at best, and there would still be a chance to regroup after withdrawing from Jiangwan, and it would definitely not be hit hard! It is even more impossible to face the danger of total annihilation!

Annihilated! Yes, annihilation!

Hideki Tojo reacted again, the 20th Division was in danger of annihilation at this time!

Absolutely not, absolutely not to allow the 20th Division to be annihilated! If the 20th Division is really wiped out, then his problem will be serious, no matter how much Prince Zaihito of the Idle Yuan Palace trusts him and values him, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold on to this matter, and in the end, he is afraid that he will inevitably be stabbed in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

Although it is said that he will not be dismissed because of this matter, but the lack of light on his face is certain!

Therefore, no matter what, we must prevent this from happening, and we must protect the rest of the 20th Division!

Hideki Tojo strode over to the map, and his mind began to spin rapidly against the big map.

The first thing Hideki Tojo was looking for was reinforcements, to see if there were any reinforcements to reach out to the rest of the 20th Division?

After a while, it really allowed Hideki Tojo to find a unit, and it was also a formed ad hoc division, but after seeing the number of this ad hoc division clearly, Hideki Tojo frowned without a trace, the 104th Division, it turned out to be the second of the Osaka Division, which is not a combat-effective force.

But apart from the 104th Division, there were no other troops nearby.

After a moment of silence, Hideki Tojo shouted: "Order, the 104th Division will go out of Luodian immediately!" ”

Hideki Tojo still decided to fight, the 104th Division is also a division anyway, even if Xu Rui's Songhu Military Division is strong in combat, but after they have continuously inflicted heavy losses on the 9th Division and the 20th Division, they must also have suffered heavy casualties and are exhausted, how much combat strength can they have now?

Because of this, Hideki Tojo decided to give it a shot!

(Dividing Line)

Hideki Tojo decided to give him a chance, but unfortunately, Xu Rui couldn't give him such an opportunity.

At this time, Xu Rui had already brought sweet potatoes to the front line of Luodian and commanded the final general attack nearby!

When Xu Rui arrived, he happened to see a hot air balloon slowly puffing up in Luodian Town, which was the little devil preparing to raise the hot air balloon again to observe the position of the Songhu Military Subdivision from a height of dozens of meters, and then guide the large-caliber naval guns of the Fourth Fleet of the Navy to carry out cluster shelling.

In the first Battle of Songhu, the Nationalist Army suffered such a big loss!

Wang Jiageng even guarded Luodian, and also suffered a big loss from the devil observer!

But Xu Rui won't give the devil such a chance! What's more, now that the Songhu Military Division still holds the initiative on the battlefield, it is even more impossible for Xu Rui to give the devil this opportunity!

"Bazooka!" As soon as Xu Rui stretched out his hand, an artilleryman handed over a bazooka.

Due to the limited number of rockets, and the troops of the Songhu Military Division are defensive operations, Xu Rui did not let the bazooka troops participate in the war, but now that the troops of the Songhu Military Division have changed from defense to offense, the bazooka must be played, and now it is just used to hit the devil's hot air balloon.

Luodian Town is only one kilometer away, and the little devil's hot air balloon is hiding in the center, and it is less than 500 meters away from the edge of the battlefield, and the maximum range of the bazooka is 500 meters, taking into account the shooting of high-altitude targets, the maximum range must be shortened, so it has to be advanced at least 100 meters further.

At that moment, Xu Rui chose a direction and ordered Shi Changqing's battalion to advance a hundred meters at any cost.

Shi Changqing did not disappoint Xu Rui, and personally led a reinforced platoon to launch a decisive charge, and five minutes later, the first battalion advanced the battle line to the hinterland of Luodian Town for more than 100 meters! At this time, the devil's hot air balloon had just been inflated, and the devil observer on the ground untied the cable, and the inflated hot air balloon immediately slowly rose into the air.

It's a pity that at this time, Xu Rui had already carried a bazooka to the front line.

"Die!" Xu Rui held the bazooka and aimed at the rising observation hot air balloon, and then gently pulled the trigger.

In the next moment, the bazooka on Xu Rui's shoulder spewed out a fierce flame from the tail, and then a rocket dragged a long red tail flame towards the devil hot air balloon more than 300 meters in front of him.
