In the Japanese military headquarters in Xuzhou, the atmosphere was depressing as if it had been filled with lead.

All the Japanese officers were pale, as if they had been slapped a few times, and Nishio Shouzo sat down on the chair with holes in his eyes as if he had lost his soul.

He had been planning for nearly a month under the orders of the headquarters before he got the current situation, and he thought that even if Lu Yuan escaped, he would be able to completely annihilate several main regiments of the Eighth Route and deal a severe blow to the enemy's arrogance and save face.

But now, with the indiscriminate bombing of the Sichuan Army's independent regiment with the planes they had grabbed in Datong, not only did most of the three regiments of the Eighth Route escape, but also caused huge losses to Changgang's department, killing nearly 3,000 in battle, with a total of more than 5,000 casualties!

You must know that the total number of the Eight Roads they annihilated this time was only more than 3,000 people, which was almost a one-to-one battle loss!

In the case of the superiority of the emperor's ** team, such a casualty ratio has never appeared!

Not to mention that not only did these eight-way escape from the encirclement and the imperial troops suffered heavy losses, but Lieutenant General Tsuneoka Kanji was hit by a shell in the bombardment before the war headquarters and buried in the ground, and now it is still being excavated, and his life and death are uncertain!

This battle was simply the most humiliating defeat of the Imperial Army since the beginning of the war!

But what they don't notice is that such humiliating failures are happening all the time!

The Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Zhongmu, and the Battle of Shanxi this time, every battle, the battlefield exchange rate is refreshing their lower limit again and again!

"It's a goddamn long way again!"

A Japanese general gritted his teeth and said: "This bastard, not only snatched the fighters from Datong, but also used these fighters to bomb us, it is really hateful, I can't wait to eat its flesh and drink its blood......"

As soon as the surrounding straight people heard the word Lu Yuan, there was a grinding sound of teeth, and it was obvious that there was more than one person who wanted to eat Lu Yuan's meat and drink his blood.

"Sooner or later, the iron hooves of the imperial army will definitely set foot on Trojan Horse County, and make that place a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so as to eliminate the hatred in our hearts......," another Japanese general roared.

"Shut up......"

Nishio Shouzao said: "Lu Yuan, this bastard, is simply the nemesis of my imperial army, he wants to kill so easily, General Umezu Mijiro, General Terauchi, King Asakahiko, and me, Lieutenant General Toneoka Kenji Dohihara, will not suffer in his hands again and again, and even die in his hands......"

Many generals were silent, they knew that what Nishio Shouzo said was the truth, and they didn't know how much they wanted to kill Lu Yuan, but this guy was still very happy now, and he would jump out and disgust them at every turn.

"Unexpectedly, the plan I thought was foolproof, the strength of an entire division, was actually ruined by a few hundred bastards like Lu Yuan......"

Nishio Shouzo let out a long sigh, and only said after a while: "Contact His Excellency Major General Yoshikawa Sadasa, and see if he can contact the cavalry wing - the fiasco of Datong is a foregone conclusion, I hope that the cavalry wing can capture the high-ranking officials of the Eight Roads alive, and save a little face for this battle, so that the thousands of imperial warriors who died in battle will not die in vain......"

"Hi ......"

A general let out a sigh and took the order.

In Chongqing, Chairman Jiang's face was very unsightly, and he didn't know if it was because he had not yet adapted to the new environment, or because of the news of the defeat of the Wuhan battlefield, which made him have no intention of sleeping at all.

Now on the battlefield of Wuhan, most of the area has been controlled by the Japanese army, although the first side is still resisting stubbornly, but obviously has no substantial impact on the entire war situation, he did not order the whole army to abandon the battlefield and evacuate, in order to just look good.

A guard brought some documents, and Chairman Chiang didn't even bother to flip through them, because he knew that there could be no good news on them other than how many new casualties had been lost yesterday and how much lost ground had been lost.

Thinking that the number of at least four or five hundred thousand killed in the battle before and after added up, he was distraught for a while, and he worked hard for a whole year, losing so many soldiers, but still could only exchange the news of the fall of Wuhan, he was really deeply ashamed.

"Why don't you eat and sleep badly?"

Mrs. Song came over and sat down, quietly put the document away and said: "Although the battle situation is not satisfactory, you still have to take care of your body - the whole country depends on you, if your body collapses, who can we rely on for the 40,000,000 compatriots in the land of China?" ”

"Got it, ma'am, can't I eat it now?"

Chairman Jiang said impatiently, although he loved his wife deeply and knew that the other party was wholeheartedly thinking about himself, but the sentence that the whole country depends on you still sounds extremely harsh at this moment.

"Tell you some good news!"

Mrs. Song obviously noticed her gaffe, and changed the topic with a dry smile: "Do you remember the last time, Ling Jie and Song Qing cooperated with Trojan County to develop a gold mine?" Now I really start to give back the capital, a while ago Ling Jie gave me tens of thousands of oceans, Song Qing also got a lot, it is said that he used the money to recruit a troop, is buying arms to strengthen training, maybe when, our Song family, there will be another well-known general......"

"Song Qing, this kid, has always been good......"

Chairman Jiang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said: "I thought your money was meat buns and dogs, but I didn't expect this bastard to have a bit of businessman's sincerity......"

The dog and bastard in his mouth, of course, refers to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan actually didn't listen to the order to go to Wuhan to see him, but he was still fulfilling the interest return of the loan, which was really unexpected to him.

"More than that!"

Mrs. Song smiled and said: "It is said that Muma County has also opened a cement factory, and the sales of cement have been handed over to Chen Liang to take care of, and Ling Jie also has a share...... It's not a lot of money, but it's a lot of money......"

"He's taking money to gag your mouth, what kind of business can he do without our name?"

Chairman Jiang said angrily: "Now that the family and country are in ruins, I don't want to serve the country like Song Qing but I am bent on making money, which is really in vain......

"This business, even if Ling Jie doesn't do it, others will do it, instead of giving money to others, why not earn it for yourself?"

Mrs. Song said a little unhappily: "Besides, Ling Jie is the child of Xiangxi and my sister, my own nephew, is it possible to really let him take a gun to the battlefield to die?" There are so many people in China, and there are not many more of them who go to the battlefield, and there are not many of them......"
