The violent explosion made Shinohara Yuma feel the command post shake, and the ground under his feet also shook, and he quickly jumped up from the stool after being taken aback.

"Yaga, what's going on? Why did the people of China shoot again! ”

"Boom ......"

As soon as Yuma Shinohara's words fell, an even more violent explosion sounded on the left side.

A shell exploded in a trench where a squad had assembled. With a violent explosion, the soldiers within a radius of 50 meters were torn to pieces by shrapnel in an instant, human fragments and internal organs of various shapes, guns, military uniforms, and backpacks were thrown up to a height of 30 meters, and then scattered in different trajectories in the surrounding infantry ranks, and the shells left a large crater on the ground with a depth of five meters and a diameter of about ten meters.

"Heavy artillery...... Why did the heavy artillery of the Chinese start firing again, didn't they run out of shells? ”

Yuma Shinohara is an experienced officer, and naturally when he heard it, he knew that this was definitely the effect of the explosion of a heavy artillery shell with a caliber of more than one hundred and fifty millimeters, looking at the remains and fragments of soldiers falling from the sky like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, he only felt like a knife in his heart, this is a small team of imperial troops, a team of more than fifty people was solved by a single shell, how not to make him feel distressed.

At first, Yuma Shinohara thought that this was just the last few shells of the opposite Chinese army to cover the attacking infantry, but when one after another the shells dragged and whistled through the sky and then smashed to the ground like raindrops, he knew that he was wrong. The Chinese army on the opposite side either arrived with a convoy carrying artillery shells, or their reinforcements arrived, regardless of the outcome. It was all catastrophic for the Ninety-Second Brigade.

Listening to the thunderous explosion outside, Yuma Shinohara's face suddenly became desperate, and he ordered weakly: "Hurry up...... Report to Commander Kuichi Tanaka that the reinforcements of the Shina people have arrived, and if there are no more reinforcements, the 92nd Brigade will really not be able to support it......"

"General...... You can't go in, Your Excellency the Commander is in a meeting...... General ......"

"Smack......

A crisp sound sounded, and Shiroki Inaba slapped the guards who were blocking his way several times. Finally, the door to the office was opened.

"Bang Dang"

The door of the office was pushed open, and Kazuichiro Sonobe, Shigenari Aoki, Shoichi Amano, and others, who were discussing the matter, turned their eyes to each other.

Seeing Shiro Inaba coming, Kazuichiro Sonobe frowned and asked, "Inaba-kun." Is there anything you are here for? ”

Shiro Inaba didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Your Excellency Commander, I heard that the 202nd Army of your branch is attacking in the direction of Shitai and Jingdezhen, and Your Excellency has sent the 13th Division to support. Is that so? ”

"That's right. I did send the Thirteenth Division to reinforcements. Sonobe and Ichiro nodded.

Shiro Inaba smiled coldly: "As far as I know, the 13th Division set off from Huangmei County on the 15th, and has been on the road for four days so far, but now it is still circling around Pengze, when did the 13th Division become a turtle, and the road of less than 300 kilometers has not been completed for four days, could it be that they collectively suffered from malaria, or did His Excellency the Commander deliberately let them do this?" ”

Shiro Inaba's words just fell. Chief of Staff Shigenari Aoki immediately stood up and pointed at his nose and shouted, "Inaba-kun, who made you talk like this to His Excellency the Commander?" Didn't the Imperial Army University teach you to respect your superiors? ”

Looking at the angry Aoki Shigenari. Shiro Inaba sneered: "Chief of Staff Aoki, the Imperial Army University didn't teach me this, but they also didn't teach me how to waste four days on the road of more than two hundred kilometers!" ”

"Bagaya Deer...... You're so presumptuous! ”

At this time, Sonobe and Ichiro couldn't help it, and a row of tables stood up and shouted, "Inaba-kun, is this your attitude towards the commander?" Or do you think you can already ignore your commander? Don't forget, the matter of the 36th Brigade is not over last time, do you believe it or not, I will immediately report to the base camp and ask the base camp to transfer you back to the mainland? ”

"Your Excellency, I didn't mean that." Seeing that Sonobe and Ichiro were angry, Shiro Inaba didn't dare to be too presumptuous, lowered his head and said: "Your Excellency Commander, I don't mean to be disrespectful to you, I just can't figure out why the headquarters would reject my application, you must know that now that the troops we have lost have been replenished, we can continue to fight." ”

Since the 36th Brigade led by Ushijima was defeated by Su Jin, the strength of the Sixth Division has been halved at once, and Shiro Inaba has also been under very great pressure from the country, and there has been news that he will be transferred back to the mainland in a few months at most. Although this news has not yet been confirmed, Inaba Shiro himself understands that such a big thing happened to the Sixth Division, and although he, the commander of the division, is not directly responsible, he will definitely not leave his position for too long, and those masters in the base camp will not let a defeated general stay in this position for too long.

And Shiro Inaba now wishes to be able to personally seek revenge on the 202nd Army before he leaves his post, so he has written several applications to the headquarters, hoping to send the 6th Division to the front line adjacent to Jiujiang, but Sonobe and Ichiro just don't approve it. And this time he heard that Su Jin and his 202nd Army were fighting again in Shitai and Jingdezhen, but the 13th Division sent by the headquarters was grinding on the road and taking three steps back and two steps, he immediately realized that there must be something greasy here, so he immediately came over angrily.

It's just that the angry Shiro Inaba understands the "hard work" of Sonobe and Ichiro, in fact, thanks to Su Jin's murderous achievements in recent years, Sonobe Kazuichiro has developed a fear of Su Jin and the 202nd Army.

Yes, it is fear. It may seem exaggerated that this sentiment occurred to a high-ranking Japanese general like Kazuichiro Sonobe, but it is true. Counting Su Jin's achievements over the years, we know that since 1938, Su Jin and his troops have annihilated countless Japanese troops, including the Fifth Tank Brigade, the Suzuki Brigade under the command of the 27th Division, and the 36th Brigade under the command of the Sixth Division.

At the beginning, many Japanese troops were still aggressive to seek revenge from the 202nd Army, shouting that they would break Su Jin's body into 10,000 pieces, but the fact was cruel, after so many cruel blows, Su Jin's troops were not only not wiped out but continued to grow, and now they have grown into a huge army with 60,000 troops. Although the Japanese are cruel, they are not fools, and after suffering so many losses, they have learned to behave. For example, this time Su Jin launched an attack on Shitai and Jingdezhen, although Sonobe Kazuichiro was angry on the surface and sent the 13th Division to support, the speed of the troops' advance was comparable to that of a snail, and the road of more than 200 kilometers was only half walked for four days.

The reason why Sonobe and Ichiro did this is very simple, that is, Jingdezhen and Shitai are already adjacent to Zhejiang, and this is already the territory of the 23rd Army, for Sonobe and Ichiro, as long as Su Jin doesn't come to him for trouble, he won't take the initiative to provoke this plague god. It was precisely because of this idea that the 13th Division had this kind of marching speed that could be called turtle speed, and Shiro Inaba, a guy who didn't know the inside story and was anxious to take revenge before being transferred, broke in without knowing it, which made Sonobe Kazuichiro furious.

"Okay, Ye Jun, the task of your sixth division is also very heavy, but there are four divisions of the people in Xianning who are confronting you, if you are a little negligent, the consequences will be very serious, so you don't always think about finding revenge on the 202nd Army, do your job first." After Sonobe and Ichiro said some high-sounding words, they wanted to send Shiro Inaba away.

"Your Excellency Commander, you also have to understand the urgency of our Sixth Division to fight up and down now, ...... now"

"Shut up!" Seeing that Shiro Inaba still didn't understand what he meant, the little patience that Sonobe and Ichiro had was also consumed, and he yelled and shouted: "If your Sixth Division really wants to fight so much, you can immediately attack Yueyang, and then attack Changsha, if you can take Changsha, I will immediately ask for credit for your base camp, I don't know if you have the guts!" ”

"You ......"

Shiro Inaba was furious when he saw Sonobe, even if he was stupid, he knew that he had angered Sonobe, although he came with anger, but after all, he was not brain-dead, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only suppress his anger in his heart.

He took a deep breath and lowered his head: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is rude, please don't mind." ”

"Su Yejun, you must know that the commander of your division is a senior general of the empire, not a warrant officer who has just left the military academy, you should know that all actions must be considered from the overall situation, how can you do whatever you want? Now you go back at once, but you must not make any more forks! ”

"Hay!"

At this point, no matter how unwilling Shiro Inaba was, he knew that he had come in vain today, and bowed to Sonobe and Ichiro before retreating.

Looking at the closed door, Aoki Shigenari snorted lightly: "It's too unusual, as the commander of the division, he doesn't know the general situation at all, and he can't even understand the painstaking efforts of His Excellency the Commander." ”

"Aoki-kun, don't say it!" Sonobe Kazuichiro sighed lightly: "Actually, what Sonobe-kun said is right, I am indeed selfish in this matter, but now Su Jin and the 202nd Army are no longer something that our Eleventh Army can deal with alone, it's time for others to help us share the pressure!"
