The atmosphere in the office fell into a solemn silence, and Kazuo Miyazaki, Taka Numata, Ichiro Miyamoto and others were shocked by the news.

Miyamoto Ichiro muttered to himself, "This ...... How is this possible...... How could the 202nd Division form its own armored forces, didn't the Germans conclude an alliance with the Reich, how could they still support them with so many tanks, and how did these tanks get into their hands? ”

Numata Taka's mouth also opened wide, and he still said in disbelief: "This matter must be reported to the base camp, and the Germans must give an explanation to the empire." ”

Okamura Ninji rolled his eyes angrily: "Okay...... This is a matter for the future, and the most important thing now is how to deal with this armored force that suddenly came out, Numata-kun...... Is there anything you can do? ”

In the face of Okamura Ninji's inquiry, Numata Taka could only smile bitterly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the power of the armored forces is naturally needless to say, and the only ones that can deal with it are the armored forces and aviation." But just now the commander of the Katayama Division reported that the armored unit disappeared after defeating the cavalry wing, and now we can't find anyone even if we send aviation to retaliate. ”

"We don't need to look for it!" At this time, Kazuo Miyazaki, who was standing on the side, said: "The task of the armored forces of the people of China is to prevent our army from reinforcing Jiujiang, and now their goal has been achieved, the third division is indeed stopped in the area of Huangmei County, but this is only temporary, as long as the third division reorganizes its personnel, an armored force is definitely not the opponent of a division of the empire!" ”

Hearing this, Okamura Ningji sighed, he didn't know this truth, but the problem now is that the third division is stopped for one more day, and the Chinese people will have one more day to attack Jiujiang, if Jiujiang is completely taken by them, then the imperial army wants to recapture Jiujiang I don't know how much energy it will take.

After thinking for a long time, Okamura Ninji took a deep breath and said to Miyamoto: "Miyamoto-kun." You immediately send a report to Lieutenant General Ogisu of the 13th Division, telling him about the situation of the 3rd Division, and you must let him be more careful, and you must not let him repeat the mistakes of the 5th Brigade again. ”

Miyamoto Ichiro hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Excellency Commander, now that the Third Division has been stopped in the area of Huangmei County by the armored forces of Zhina, if the Thirteenth Division slows down its advance further, Jiujiang will not be able to keep it!" ”

"Yaga ......"

Okamura scolded hatefully, the situation is now obvious, the third division must not be able to rush at full speed as before after receiving such a blow, otherwise it will be troublesome if the enemy's armored forces come again. In the face of the enemy's fully mechanized armored forces, in the absence of perfect fortifications, if the infantry plays against the armored troops, it will be an egg hitting a stone. And the most terrible thing is that due to the long-term face of the **** kind of weak firepower troops, the anti-armor force of the Japanese Army is simply pitifully weak.

Take a typical infantry wing of the Japanese army as an example, a standard infantry wing has 3,747 men, 526 horses, 36 heavy machine guns, 54 light machine guns, and about 2,400 rifles. 54 grenadiers, 10 infantry guns, 4 mountain guns, 6 anti-tank guns. 256 carriages.

If such an infantry wing and an armored regiment suddenly meet, it would be a pipe dream to stop dozens or hundreds of tanks with just six small-caliber anti-tank guns. Not to mention whether the 37-caliber anti-tank guns equipped by the Japanese army imitating Germany can penetrate the armor of the opponent's tank, even if it can destroy the opponent's tank, the opponent's tank is not a fool. They will stand there and let you fire, and I am afraid that as soon as the two sides meet, the other side will rush up or blast you into the sky with artillery fire.

And the biggest headache for Okamura Ningji was that none of them knew whether the enemy of Su Jin had a second armored force waiting for the 13th Division on the road, which was the worst thing. Slow down. Jiujiang is difficult to protect, advance at full speed and be afraid of being attacked by the opponent's armored forces again, and the Japanese army is impossible to dig trenches to play defensive warfare because of the march, this dilemma is simply disgusting.

After thinking about it for a long time, Okamura Ninji sighed and said: "Inform the Hagizhou Litu of the situation of the Third Division, and ask him to send as many reconnaissance troops as possible to investigate, and the speed of the troops cannot be slowed down." ”

Miyamoto Ichiro knew that Okamura Ninji had made up his mind, even if he paid some more losses, he would die to protect Jiujiang, he answered loudly, turned around and was about to leave, but before he could walk out of the door, he collided with an oncoming staff officer.

Miyamoto Ichiro is only 1.5 meters tall, and he is also short in the Japanese army, which is generally shorter, and his nose immediately hit the other party's chin, he only felt that the Venus in front of him was rising, and then his nose ached, and he wiped his nose with his hand. When he covered his nose and saw the other party's military rank, he stretched out his hand and slapped the other party twice.

"Bang Bang ......"

"Bagala Lu...... How do you walk! ”

The captain didn't dare to tell the difference, so he could only stand still and apologize, Miyamoto Ichiro, who was in so much pain, wanted to continue to teach the other party, Okamura Ningji behind him couldn't stand it, waved his hand and said: "Okay Miyamoto, don't fight anymore, ask him what happened." ”

"Hay!"

Miyamoto Ichiro glared at the captain fiercely: "Tell me quickly, what the hell happened." ”

"Hay!"

The captain bowed to Miyamoto, and then said to Okamura Ninji urgently: "Your Excellency, the commander, the big thing is not good, Jiujiang is lost!" ”

"Boom ......"

The captain's words were like detonating a grenade in his office, blowing everyone up.

Nani ...... How is this possible? ”

Numata Duojia couldn't believe his ears, Jiujiang's defense was not many, and it was naturally invincible to attack. But the problem is that after more than half a year of construction, the fortifications of Xiaobaoshan are extremely good, if it is only for defense, with the fortifications of Xiaobaoshan, even in the face of a division or even an army of troops to hold on for ten days and a half is no problem at all, how can it be lost in only two days?

Numata Taka, who was a little out of shape, ignored Okamura Ninji's presence, and asked sharply: "What about Tsuchida Yongxiang, what does he eat, how can the strength of a wing and a strong position not be able to hold it for two days?" ”

The captain said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Tsuchida Yongxiang Dazuo has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor this morning, and after conquering Xiaobaoshan, the people of China immediately attacked Jiujiang City non-stop, but the defenders in Jiujiang City are only a brigade, and they can't stop the attack of the people of Zhina, and they were all wiped out just half an hour ago!"
