Chapter 844: Shocking Change

"The hidden strength of the Zhina Army has been completely destroyed, the arrival of the imperial reinforcements in Zhongmu is unstoppable, and all the directions of the war are expected by His Excellency the General, it is really like a god to use soldiers!"

In the Japanese military headquarters, in the face of frequent good news, many Japanese generals smiled and froze.

The Chinese army that attacked Yunfengkou and Shaxiba, as well as the Chinese fighters who tried to blow up the railway, were almost completely annihilated, and they felt that there was nothing to stop the arrival of reinforcements in the Zhongmu area.

"This time, if we can completely annihilate the entire strength of the counterattack of the Chinese army, there will be no more obstacles between our army and Wuhan, where the Chinese government is located, and our army can take the opportunity to advance to Wuhan, and completely incorporate the entire Chinese army into the territory of the empire, which will be just around the corner......

One of the generals stood up and said loudly: "When the time comes, Your Excellency the General and Your Excellency Lieutenant General Nishio will become heroes in the history of imperial warfare, and they will be forever recorded in the history of the empire - all the kings stand up, let us use the warmest applause to congratulate General Terauchi Shouichi and Lieutenant General Nishio, who was not present, and congratulate them on their supreme meritorious service to the expansion of the empire......"

"Congratulations, Your Excellency!"

Many generals stood up in unison, and the applause in the military headquarters was thunderous, although everything was not yet a foregone conclusion, but they believed that in a few hours, the general's words would become an unchangeable fact.

"Before the encirclement is reached, we must not relax in the slightest!"

Terauchi Shou, but the corners of his mouth were filled with an unconcealable smile, since the 14th Division was trapped in Zhongmu, he has been in a state of restlessness, and has been worried about what will happen to his layout, after all, among his enemies, there is a demon like Lu Yuan.

Until this moment, he was also a little relaxed, he believed that the Zhina army attacking Yunfengkou and Shaxiba should be Lu Yuan's last resort, and he also judged it accurately.

Everything has reached the moment when the dust has settled.

"Lu Yuan does have some ability, but it's a pity that his opponents are His Excellency the General and His Excellency Lieutenant General Nishio, so he can only humiliate himself......"

"Yes, I'm afraid that bastard from Lu Yuan is sighing now, how can he be born bright? Hahaha! ”

"You are also too exalted of that bastard, he has a long way to go, how can He De be compared to our senior lieutenant general?"

Seeing the smile on the face of Shouichi Terauchi, who usually does not smile, many Japanese generals were even happier, and their voices were a few beats higher.

"Hey......"

A Japanese general said with some concern: "Your Excellency, Major General Yoshikawa has just sent a secret report that the Chinese army has ordered all positions to be evacuated after noon, probably knowing that their plot to sabotage the railway has failed-our encirclement has not yet been achieved, and these Chinese troops are afraid that they will escape like this......"

As soon as they heard the news, the smiles on the faces of many Japanese generals suddenly suffocated, and they felt depressed that the fat that reached their mouths suddenly flew away.

"Escape? I wish they had escaped! ”

Terauchi Shouichi smiled coldly and said: "There are many factions in the Chinese army, and there is a lack of echoes between them, if they don't run, they may be able to resist our army for a while, if they escape, it will become a plate of scattered sand - have you forgotten that after we occupied Shanghai, the embarrassed appearance of the Chinese army when they fled to Nanjing?" ”

"yes, how did I forget that!"

"Hahaha, they'd better run away, and then the divisions and regiments of our army will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and they will definitely be able to kill them again without leaving a piece of armor - just like our army swept from Shanghai to Nanjing!"

"Yes, if there are a few more battles like this, I'm afraid that the land of China will be under the rule of the empire in a short time!"

Many generals talked about it, and the atmosphere became warm again, and even the generals who were slightly worried before laughed heartily.

Shouichi Terauchi looked at this joyful scene, and his face was also full of smiles, and this feeling of being under control made him feel that he was God in a trance, and he could dominate everything.

At this moment, the door of the military headquarters was pushed open, and a liaison officer rushed in with an ugly face and reported: "Oh no, Your Excellency, the city wall of Zhongmu has been breached!" ”

"What?"

As soon as I heard this, the laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and everyone's faces were hard to see!

"Ten minutes ago, the Chinese army broke through the Zhongmu city wall and launched a crazy attack on the city, although His Excellency Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara has fortified the city layer by layer, but the number of the Chinese army is too large, the offensive is too fierce, and our army has been close to running out of ammunition and food when it was besieged by the flood, plus in the past two days, the Chinese army has launched an uninterrupted attack, and the soldiers of our empire have long been exhausted to the extreme, and now they have lost the protection of the city wall, and they have suffered heavy casualties......" The liaison officer said tremblingly.

"Yaga!"

Many Japanese generals couldn't help but scold angrily, and the joy of victory in sight was instantly disrupted, and they scolded angrily, while looking at Terauchi Shouichi to see what he had to do.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, do you say how long he can hold out?" Shouichi Terauchi asked with a blue face.

"The offensive of the Chinese army is too fierce, and the 14th Division can only try its best to shrink the defense, but it still cannot stop the attack of the Chinese army-His Excellency Kenji Dohihara said that the troops can hold out until this time tomorrow at most, and I request His Excellency the General to send reinforcements as soon as possible......" said the liaison officer.

"Damn it!"

Shouichi snorted sullenly: "What about the 16th Division, is it still in the position of Yuewang Temple?" ”

The liaison officer nodded with difficulty, even he couldn't understand how the Eighth Army of the Chinese Army, which had fled before the imperial army had even started fighting, could actually hold off an entire 16th Division with the strength of a single army and hold on for two days with the strength of a single army after just one month, so that the 16th Division could not advance an inch, and suffered heavy casualties!

"Got it, you go out, as soon as there is news, come and report it immediately!"

Shouichi Terauchi waved his hand for the liaison officer to withdraw, his brows already furrowed.

"Your Excellency, what should I do now?"

Some generals said anxiously: "Even if the reinforcements of our army successfully arrive in the Kaifeng area and successfully break through the defense line garrisoned by Tang Enbo, it will be late at night at the earliest when they arrive in Zhongmu, and by then, maybe the 14th Division has been wiped out......

There were also some generals who said: "Don't worry, didn't Major General Yoshikawa say that the military headquarters of the China Army has already ordered the China Army to fully withdraw from its positions - maybe the China Army is already preparing to evacuate at this moment?" ”

Hearing this, many generals have already echoed it.

"No, if it were someone else, the Zhina Army might have really begun to prepare for a retreat - but don't forget, it was Lu Yuan who commanded this battle this time!"

Shouichi Terauchi roared: "This bastard is a vicious dog, once he bites our flaws, he will never let go if he doesn't bite us to death - this person will never care about any military orders, he is determined to eat the ...... of the 14th Division"
