"Let's hope it's still too late!"

While waiting for the news, Okamura Ninji has been silently muttering this sentence in his heart.

He has always been a very tough person, and his indifference in the past just felt that he was not worthy of his own care, but now he is personally gone, and he is alarmed, if he doesn't care, I'm afraid the battle will collapse.

And what is even more unimaginable is that a tough person like him will one day pin the battle situation on hope, if it had been placed in the past, I am afraid that Okamura Ninji would never have imagined that he would have such a thought.

But now, it's different!

In such a battle situation, although the situation has not really been clarified, Okamura Ninji has a feeling that this battle situation is ...... It seems to be out of his control!

It's getting a little too much to master!

In addition, he is now almost equivalent to a black eye, so now he can't do anything but hope, and he can't do anything!

……

Just when Okamura Ninji issued an order for the troops to reconnoiter the situation, at this moment on the battlefield, the situation became very different.

The frontal units of the Japanese army, the 6th Division, the 33rd Division, and the 101st Division, were attacked by the defenders in southern Hunan, and northern Hunan respectively.

On their flanks, together with the Uemura detachment and the Nara detachment, they were also blocked everywhere, and even the Nara detachment was pinned down by the defenders in the area twenty miles south of the Miluo River, and the entire detachment was surrounded.

Subjected to the fierce attack of this army, along with artillery and warplanes, they smashed on their heads as if they didn't want money.

In such a situation, almost in a short period of time, the Nara detachment has already lost more than half, and the battle front is precarious, and it may not be able to support it at any time!

……

"Boom, boom, boom......"

On the huge battlefield, artillery fire was continuous.

One shell after another smashed on the position, kicking up large patches of dirt and blasting out large craters one after another.

In the area covered by artillery fire, a group of Japanese troops were struggling to resist, and these Japanese soldiers were all lying on the improvised fortifications, firing with difficulty to counterattack, and every time the shells fell, they would take away the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

"Yaga! How could the firepower of the Chinese army opposite us be so fierce? Who the hell are they! The captain of the Nara detachment scolded angrily.

Although he was scolding angrily, his whole body was lying on the trench, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Under such heavy artillery fire, standing up is tantamount to killing oneself.

"Your Excellency the detachment commander, I suspect that we have encountered the main force of the Chinese army, otherwise, we would not have encountered such fierce firepower at all, you see that the other side not only has large-caliber artillery, but even fighter support!" Next to the detachment leader, a little devil officer shouted loudly.

However, after hearing this, the detachment leader did not believe it: "Baga! How is this possible! We are on the periphery of the flank, and the main forces of the Chinese army are not fighting our imperial army in the central area, how can they appear here? I don't believe it! ”

The Nara detachment was on the outer flank of the little devils.

If you look at it from the sky at this moment, you can see that the Japanese army's offensive formation is actually equivalent to a huge fan, and the Nara detachment is on the edge.

In this area, if he wanted to say that he encountered the main force of the defenders, he didn't believe it at the first time.

After all, the main forces of the empire are in the center, the 33rd Division and the 6th Division, and the defenders do not stop them, but come to attack their Nara detachment, which is really a bit abnormal!

"Your Excellency the detachment leader, this must be abnormal, the Chinese army is definitely doing this with their intentions!" The officer shouted.

Hearing this, the detachment leader had a cloudy look on his face.

If they really encountered the main force of the defenders, not only would the Nara detachment be finished, but even the intentions of the Zhina army would need to be pondered.

After all, their strategic position here is not very important, and the task of the Nara detachment is only to assist the attack.

The Chinese army sent the main force to attack, and they must have had their ideas.

Just when the detachment leader was thinking about the other party's intentions, at this moment, a terrible shout suddenly came from the rear of the battlefield: "Your Excellency the detachment leader, Your Excellency the detachment leader, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!" ”

With the sound coming, a little devil soldier braved the artillery fire, hurriedly ran over, he was still wounded, it looked like he had been shot, but at this moment this little devil soldier was completely ignoring the wounds on his body, after coming to the side of the detachment leader, he shouted anxiously: "Your Excellency the Chinese Army, our rear is attacked by the troops of the Chinese Army, and the captain of Xiaozhu is currently unable to support it, and is moving towards our side!" ”

"Nani?" Hearing this, the detachment leader was stunned at first, but then his face changed greatly, and he suddenly shouted: "It's not good, we have been tricked!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldier and the officer next to him were stunned, and before they could react, they heard the captain of the detachment shouting loudly: "Quick, go and send a telegram to Your Excellency the Division Commander, no, send a telegram directly to Your Excellency Commander Okamura Ninji to report our situation!" ”

After finishing speaking, seeing that the two of them had not moved, he was immediately furious and shouted: "Baga! It's all burning eyebrows, so don't go quickly! ”

"Ah...... Hi yes! Hearing the detachment leader's anxious roar, the two little devils were all shocked, came back to their senses, and then hurriedly responded.

When the two little devils hurried to send the telegram, the detachment leader was lying on the trench, his face showing a miserable whiteness, without the slightest blood.

He looked at the battlefield in front of him, countless shells fell from the other side, and the thick black smoke made him unable to see the other party's situation clearly, just like his mood at the moment, very heavy.

He never thought that the other party would have such intentions!

What's even more ridiculous is that from the beginning of contact to now, in half a day, he didn't even notice it at all, but let the other party successfully gain enough time to outflank him, which is simply stupid!

He secretly cursed his stupidity in his heart, but he was even more worried about his Nara detachment, and even for the Imperial army that participated in the attack this time!

Although he is only a detachment leader, the pattern of this war is very clear, the Chinese army ran behind them like this, its strategic intentions are self-evident, if they do not deal with it well this time, a careless, it will be a complete loss!

And now, he has no chance and ability to react!

Now, the only hope lies in the headquarters and Okamura Ninji!

"Hope...... It's still too late! The detachment leader looked at the thick black smoke and muttered.
