Lieutenant General Tani was very dissatisfied with the attack of the Sixth Division, and in Tani's opinion, attacking a small city guarded by only one infantry brigade with nearly 30,000 elite troops of the Sixth Division was simply a chicken killing, and it was not easy to capture.

But it was such an inconspicuous little city, such a small city in the north of China, which had no walls at all, that it had blocked him for five whole days, and there was not even a sign of a breakthrough until now. Thinking of this, Gu Shoufu couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, if the cowards hiding in the country knew that the Sixth Division under his command was blocked by the Chinese army in Jining City for five days, then he, a famous warrior of the Great Japanese Empire, would inevitably be discredited. If those bastards knew that it was the Eighth Route Army that had never been taken seriously by the imperial base camp that defended this small city, then he, the sixth demon king, would directly become the sixth imp.

Gu Shoufu will not and does not dare to joke about the honor of his soldiers, and General Terauchi Shouichi is in a hurry, so today he will personally command, and he will watch how the heroic Yamato warriors under his command set foot on this small city. At this time, Gu Shoufu had secretly decided in his heart that he wanted to teach this group of stupid people who dared to resist the rule of the Great Japanese Empire a hard lesson. Anyway, he had already staged a massacre in Nanjing, the capital of China, so he didn't care about doing it again in this small city. Anyway, even if he killed so many people in the capital of China, the cowardly and incompetent government of China did not do anything to him, and he, the division commander of the field division, was not still rampant in the vast land of China.

Before leaving, Tani Shofu said to all the soldiers: "The Yamato warriors cannot and will not be stopped by a small city in China, and after breaking through this small city, you will have the opportunity to move freely for a day. "All the people know what it means to be free, that is, they can rob anyone in this small city with impunity after the city is broken, including the rich people of the high mansions. This means that they can enjoy the benefits of war to the fullest.

There are many stories of getting rich overnight in the sixth regiment, that is, after the capture of Nanjing, the capital of China, during the period of unlimited freedom, many ordinary soldiers earned wealth that they could not earn in their lifetime.

This sentence was more incendiary than any encouragement, and the morale of the Japanese army was suddenly raised to an unprecedented height. However, although Gu Shoufu hated those Chinese troops in the city, reason told him that the Eighth Route Army in the city was very combative, and this was the second time that Gu Shoufu gave such an evaluation to the squadron since he came to China, and the first time was when he fought against the most elite Central Teaching Brigade of the Nationalist Government.

Since the capture of Nanjing, his troops have rarely encountered a worthy attack on the Zhina troops, and every time they fought with the Zhina troops, his Sixth Division chased the enemy and fought, or they were all over the mountains and fields to capture prisoners of war, which was really boring.

But since the Sixth Division was transferred to Chahar, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, although every time they chase Han Yunhua's troops, it is always his troops who suffer in the end. To tell the truth, he Gu Shoufu is a very arrogant person, in his opinion, there are many commendable troops in the world, but it does not include only taking any army, even if the China Air Force has the upper hand under the same force in every major war, it is also a group of local chickens and dogs in his eyes, and it is not worth mentioning.

But now, he has a feeling of admiration for the Eighth Route Army led by China, and this feeling is by no means a whim of him, but a definite conclusion drawn through the battles during this time.

Gu Shoufu looked at the three infantry divisions of the puppet Mongolian army standing on the side of the Sixth Division with disgust, in Gu Shoufu's cognition, all the imperial armies are the same, except for the imperial armies in Manchukuo and Taiwan, which are still a little combative, the other imperial armies are just a group of tools used to explore the way and go through the minefield, and it is not a pity to die. But what makes Gu Shoufu depressed is that for this period of time, although the battle has been fierce. However, the casualties of the Imperial Allied Army were not large, and they were simply not worth mentioning compared to the casualties of the Imperial Army, which made Gu Shoufu feel that this group of guys who could even betray their homeland was unreliable.

Gu Shoufu looked at Jining City not far away, his blood-red eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, Gu Shoufu didn't look at the senior officers behind him, and directly ordered to the forward position with a phone: "Attack",

In the past few days, Yang Ruihua has not closed his eyes, and from the day the Sixth Division was encircled, he tried his best to organize his troops to block the enemy by relying on perfect and solid city defense facilities and pillboxes that had already been built. But both Yang Ruihua and Han Yunhua obviously underestimated the determination of the Japanese army to attack, and they have been in the army for a while, and there have been many big battles, but it is the first time that Yang Ruihua has been attacked continuously like the Sixth Division.

Yang Ruihua was very worried about whether he could complete the task assigned by the commander, after the consumption of the past few days, there are now less than 16,000 of the more than 25,000 people in his hands, including more than 2,000 lightly wounded. In the past five days, nearly 2,000 people have lost their combat effectiveness every day, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which has always been overstretched in strength, cannot afford to fight, even the Central Army, which has always shown great wealth.

However, Yang Ruihua knew that no matter how big the casualties were, we had to persevere, and if we persevered, China's War of Resistance would become different, and the situation of the War of Resistance would also change greatly. However, happiness came too suddenly, just yesterday, the commanders in eastern Hebei sent a telegram saying that they had captured Chengde, an important military town in eastern Hebei, and seized a large number of military supplies and gold and silver property, and the captured weapons and ammunition could completely make up for the huge consumption during this time, and there was a certain surplus.

To be honest, Yang Ruihua also knows Han Yunhua's ultimate goal this time, but he is not very optimistic about Han Yunhua's operation, after all, in Yang Ruihua's view, Han Yunhua is carrying out a military adventure and a big gamble.

Although he was not very optimistic about Han Yunhua's military operation this time, Han Yunhua had the grace of knowing him, and out of his consistent trust in Han Yunhua, Yang Ruihua still carried out the task assigned by Han Yunhua very happily, even if he was asked to stick to the lonely city.

Yang Ruihua has never dared to underestimate Han Yunhua, a young commander, when he was in Yan'an, he often heard about Han Yunhua's news and achievements from the radio of the party school, and since then he has admired this young commander of the Eighth Route Army, who is only 24 years old.

Despite this, Yang Ruihua found that he still underestimated this young commander, who could always do things that you would never dare to think of. The importance of Chengde in eastern Hebei is self-evident, the Japanese army stationed a large number of troops in Chengde, it can be said that taking Chengde, eastern Hebei is no longer in danger. More importantly, the Japanese army built a large number of military warehouses in Chengde to stack the materials collected and the strategic materials for combat use transported from China. The losses of the Japanese army this time were by no means compensated for by one or two divisions or three or four brigades, and it is no wonder that General Terauchi Shouichi was going crazy.

Despite this, Yang Ruihua still didn't dare to slack off, he knew that the harder Han Yunhua's side fought, the more crazy the Japanese army would be, and the greater the pressure on his side.

Sure enough, the intensity of the Japanese attack became unprecedentedly fierce early this morning. In addition to the field heavy artillery used by the 6th Division, precious tank units were dispatched, and even the aviation units nested in Baoding and Taiyuan were dispatched.

Yang Ruihua secretly counted, in just one hour after the start of the war, the Japanese army dispatched a complete infantry wing and two puppet infantry divisions, and also used a tank brigade, a field heavy artillery wing and 33 bombers. Such a luxurious lineup is not only Yang Ruihua has never seen it, but even Zhang Hao, who has fought for most of his life, has never seen it.

Yang Ruihua did not dare to slack off, and while organizing troops to resist the attack of the Japanese army, he sent a report to Han Yunhua, who was far away on the front line in eastern Hebei, and reported the battle situation on Jining's side to Han Yunhua.
