Chapter 389: Seishiro Itagaki's Decision!
As soon as he thought of this, Seishiro Itagaki flashed a gleam in his eyes.
"It can't go on like this! You can't sit still! Seishiro Itagaki muttered, "Something has to be done!" β
Just as Itagaki Seishiro was muttering to himself, at this time, the co-captain of the 11th Wing, Sasaki Gozo, came to Itagaki Seishiro's side, and said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have just received an accurate battle report, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater of the China Army will personally arrive at the front line tomorrow to supervise the battle, and it seems that he wants to command the Taierzhuang Army to launch a general attack on us!" The Twentieth Corps of Tang Enbo has repelled the blocking force of the imperial army, and is rapidly approaching Taierzhuang, which is expected to arrive before noon tomorrow! β
"Nani!"
Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki was immediately shocked.
He suddenly remembered the shouts he had just heard from the position of the Zhina Army in the distance, and he immediately understood.
It turns out that the Chinese army is not dying, but they are about to launch a general offensive!
Thinking of this, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly showed a solemn look on his face.
The large army of the Chinese army is coming quickly, not to mention the Tang Enbo department, just the Chinese army that is now stationed around Taierzhuang has many people, and they have almost surrounded them.
And although the main force of his Fifth Division had broken through the blocking defense line of Kun Pang Bingxun's department and rushed here, it was really a bit whimsical to want to win among so many troops in the Zhina Army!
Moreover, if a decisive battle is launched tomorrow, not to mention whether the 5th and 10th Divisions can withstand the Zhina Army, the 11th Wing and the 21st Wing, which have already rushed into Taierzhuang, will be targeted by the Zhina Army first, and they will definitely be wiped out first!
"No! It can't go on like this! If we continue to be pinned down here by the Zhi Na army, I am afraid that once the Zhi Na army completes the encirclement tomorrow, we, the imperial army trapped in Zhuang, will be the first to be wiped out! Thinking of this, Seishiro Itagaki's face changed, and he said urgently.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what do you think?" Sasaki Gozo's face was also a little unsightly, and he asked in a very anxious mood.
"At present, only the 11th Wing and the 21st Wing of our Fifth Division, as well as the Eighth Brigade and Regiment, have all lost their combat effectiveness, which is slightly inferior to the heyday. The top priority is to rush out! Even if you can't rush out, you must occupy the entire Taierzhuang, and you must not be pinned down by the Zhina army! β
"Otherwise, once the fierce battle breaks out tomorrow, our side will be restrained and unable to concentrate on dealing with it, this is the way to die!" Seishiro Itagaki said.
Speaking of this, Seishiro Itagaki showed a fierce light in his eyes, he looked at the defenders' positions in the distance, and said fiercely: "Originally, I wanted to fight steadily, but it seems that it won't work now!" Time is running out for us! β
"We must wipe out the Zhuangnai army in the shortest possible time, and we must wipe out all the Zhuangnai army before noon tomorrow, so that the imperial army can concentrate on the decisive battle at noon!"
"Captain Sasaki!" Speaking of this, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly drank in a deep voice.
"The subordinates are here!" Sasaki immediately stood upright, bowed slightly, and responded.
"Immediately send the order, let the troops assemble immediately, gather all the superior forces, attack the positions of the Chinese army, and be sure to destroy them all in the shortest possible time!" Itagaki Seishiro's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice.
"Hey! Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, there are only some remnants of the Zhuang army left, and the combat effectiveness is already one in ten, and the imperial army will definitely annihilate all the Chinese army before the sun sets tonight, so as to eliminate the enemy in Zhuang Nei! Sasaki Wusan saluted and responded in a deep voice.
"Roar! His heart is commendable! But also beware, we are not facing an easy army! They were completely different from the ones that the Imperial Army had encountered before! Whether they have the will to fight or the fighting toughness compared to the imperial army, they are not far behind, and they are even stronger than our imperial army in some aspects! Captain Sasaki, don't take it lightly! β
Itagaki Seishiro's face was full of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice: "At present, the Shina army in the village does not have one out of ten soldiers, but the more this time, the more careful we must be!" The psychology and thoughts of the Chinese army are very strange, the more they reach the last moment, the more they can burst out with unparalleled combat effectiveness, at this last moment, they will definitely fight us to the death, if you don't deal with it well, even if they are wiped out, the imperial army will lose a lot of manpower! β
"In the current situation, every warrior of the empire is very precious, and we must not lose too much here, otherwise, tomorrow the Chinese army will launch a general attack, and our side will be in danger!" In the end, Seishiro Itagaki patted the other party's shoulder again, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Sasaki, you must be careful!" β
"Hey! Sasaki will definitely live up to the expectations of His Excellency the division commander! Faced with Itagaki Seishiro's sincere words, Sasaki Gozo also responded with a cautious face.
As I said before, Sasaki Gozo is a very stable person, and he is also a person who can recognize himself, he knows how to analyze the situation, and he will not be rash and arrogant.
In the course of the battle during this time, Sasaki Gozo had already deeply realized that the Shina army they were facing was definitely not an ordinary opponent.
And now it is because of such a critical moment, of course Sasaki Gozo will not take it lightly!
So, after saying goodbye to Seishiro Itagaki, Gozo Sasaki specified a very safe plan.
Although the time is very urgent, their empire has a very superior force in the village, and they only need to fight steadily, and they don't need to go until the night, they can completely wipe out the branch army in the village!
So, Sasaki IsΕzo is not in a hurry at all!
Soon, the plan had been prepared, and Sasaki also led the troops towards the positions of the 31st Division and the Independent Brigade that occupied the northwest corner of Taierzhuang.
"Kill, give!"
Seeing the position again, after Sasaki gave the order on May 3, countless Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared in each street, in a fan-shape, and each squad covered each other and moved forward.
Sasaki's plan was very simple, that is, to use their superior forces, take a walk, form a carpet search formation, and slowly advance forward, further compressing the defense line and range of activities of the Chinese army.
Once the Zhina army has no way to retreat, as long as the Zhina army does not evacuate Taierzhuang, he will launch a final attack and completely annihilate the Zhina army!
