On a mound in the south of Huaiyin City, the devil commander Yamaguchi Chisong military boots stepped on the tender green new grass, and looked at the city with a telescope expressionlessly.

In the telescope, black smoke billowed from the ruins and ruins to the sky, countless houses were burning in the flames of war, and dense gunshots and mixed explosions came from the city from time to time.

"How long will it take to end the battle in the city?"

After putting down the binoculars, the commander of the devils, Yamaguchi Akamatsu, turned his head and asked the haggard combat staff officer.

The combat staff officer replied with some helplessness: "Your Excellency, Captain, we have divided and surrounded the remnants of the Chinese army in the city, but their resistance is very stubborn, and the number is more than our intelligence knows, so it will take some time to completely eliminate the Chinese army in the city." ”

"More people than intelligence knows?"

Commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi frowned and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Your Excellency Captain, the information sent back from the troops fighting with the Chinese Army shows that there are at least four battalion-level troops of the Chinese Army in the city, and they should be the main force of the Northern Chinese Guerrilla Corps." The operational staff officer's face was full of seriousness.

"Isn't the main force of the guerrilla corps in northern China and Jiangsu in the area south of Baoying?" Commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi's face was full of doubt.

"I'm afraid that the Watanabe detachment is besieging only the small Shina army that attracts attention, and we are facing the main force of the Shina army." The operational staff officer voiced his guess.

After hearing this, Captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu pondered for a moment and felt that there was still such a possibility.

The information they received was that there was only one battalion of the Northern Jiangsu guerrilla garrison in Huaiyin City, and it stands to reason that the battle would have already ended under the surprise attack of one of their brigades.

However, the current battle in the city is still in a state of stalemate, the other side has not been defeated, and still maintains a tenacious combat effectiveness, which is indeed far from the information known.

Thinking that his opponent had become the main force of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu's back was cold.

If it had been for their own side to surprise the other side by surprise at night, judging from the stubborn resistance in the city now, it would be really difficult to say who would have killed the deer, after all, the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps could have a precedent for annihilating an infantry brigade.

"The people in the intelligence department are really a bunch of rice buckets-"

Thinking of this, Commander Akamatsu Yamaguchi couldn't help but curse in a low voice, he was almost cheated by the people of the intelligence department.

"Your Excellency Captain, don't worry, although the number of the Chinese army in the city is more than we imagined, but their main force has been defeated and fled by us, and at the moment there are only some small scattered troops stranded in the city, and we will soon be able to control the whole city." The operational staff officer comforted.

After hearing the words of the combat staff officer, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu's face softened a lot, and this was not a blessing in disguise.

They originally thought that there was only a garrison battalion of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps stationed in the city, but now they should have defeated the opponent's main force by mistake, and they have to say that their luck is exceptionally good.

Thinking that if the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, which gave the headquarters a headache, was defeated and then eliminated by them, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu couldn't help but get excited.

The Watanabe detachment encircled and suppressed the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps with heavy troops, but suffered heavy losses, and he defeated the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps with a mere infantry brigade.

In contrast, he undoubtedly seems to be more heroic, and the incompetence of the Watanabe detachment is contrasted.

And now the commander of the Watanabe detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, was killed by the guerrillas in Baoying, and if he can establish a meritorious service this time, he may be able to take a step forward and make the Watanabe detachment become the Yamaguchi detachment.

"Order all the troops in the city to intensify their attacks, clear the remnants of the Chinese army in the city, and end the battle before dark."

Now Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu can't wait to take Huaiyin, and then report to the headquarters.

"Hello!"

After the devil's herald stood heavily, he immediately rushed down the mound to convey the order.

At this moment, dozens of gray-faced devil cavalry rumbled in the distance, rushing towards the earthen hill.

The commander of the devils, Yamaguchi Akamatsu, turned his head to look at the cavalry rushing over, and couldn't help frowning when he saw that they were covered in blood and their clothes were broken and dirty.

This cavalry squadron was temporarily redeployed to their infantry brigade to strengthen their brigade.

He had previously given the order to this cavalry squadron to go around to the north of the city to intercept the retreat of the guerrillas in the city, but now he came back with a disgraced face and a defeated battle, which made Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu's face sink involuntarily.

The bloodied cavalry squadron leader thought it would be an easy task, but who knew that they had underestimated the enemy and suffered heavy losses, and now they had to retreat.

The leader of the cavalry squadron turned over and dismounted, and soon ran up to the mound with a face full of shame, and stood still in front of the captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu.

"What happened, and why is it so messy?" Looking at the cavalry squadron leader with blood stained on his body, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu asked with a calm face.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we have encountered a large force of the Chinese army in the north of the city, and we... We couldn't win and had to retreat. The cavalry squadron leader bowed his head heavily and said with shame on his face.

"How many people are there in the Chinese army?" Yamaguchi Akamatsu was also shocked and hurriedly asked.

The cavalry squadron commander reported that "at least one infantry battalion is ...... in size."

"Yaga!"

Hearing that the other party was only the size of an infantry battalion, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu couldn't help but give the cavalry squadron leader a slap in the face, making the cavalry squadron leader stumble.

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu said angrily: "A mere infantry battalion has beaten one of your cavalry squadrons to the point of losing their armor, and you have simply lost the face of our Imperial Japanese Army!" Shame on His Majesty the Emperor's trust! ”

"Hey!" was scolded by the commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu for such a slashing head and covering his face, and the cavalry squadron leader was also full of grievances.

"Captain, their combat effectiveness is amazing...... "the cavalry squadron leader wanted to explain.

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu didn't want to listen to his explanation, he directly waved his hand to interrupt his words, and ordered viciously: "Now I order you to take your people back and wash away the shame!" ”

"Your Excellency Captain, the strength of the Chinese army is stronger than we imagined, the cavalry squadron has just suffered a defeat, let them temporarily rest and replenish before launching an attack, what do you think?" At this moment, the operational staff had to stand up and play a round to excuse the defeat of the cavalry squadron.

The cavalry squadron leader saw that the combat staff officer stood up and spoke in time, and couldn't help but look at his old classmate with gratitude.

"Humph!" Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu snorted coldly and said to the cavalry squadron leader: "Go down and wait for orders." ”

"Hey!"

After the cavalry squadron leader who had suffered the defeat answered, he immediately took people to rest and recuperate.

"Send a report to the headquarters that our attack on Huaiyin encountered the main force of the guerrilla corps in northern China, and our department fought bloodily, and at this moment it has been defeated and is clearing out the remnants of the enemy in the city, but our troops are insufficient, and a small group of troops in China fled northward, and asked for tactical guidance from the aviation unit to give it a devastating blow."

The cavalry squadron suffered a defeat and retreated, and after thinking about it, Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu felt that it would be much less pressure for them to let the aviation unit send fighters to help in the battle.

"Hello!"
