Do what you think! Tosang has never been a dragger. After reporting to the column headquarters with the on-board radio, he lined up in a column with five armored combat vehicles and slaughtered the Japanese division headquarters, and he was going to kill the division commander of the devil.

As a result, he rushed there but pounced, and the division commander of the Japanese army had already withdrawn half an hour early! In the courtyard where the division headquarters was located, there were only a few carts carrying the last equipment and materials. The Chinese Tiger Chariot detachment got there and sprinkled it, but the devils put up a stubborn resistance, and more than 20 were killed and wounded, and the rest scattered and fled!

Tosang caught an injured devil and asked about the situation, knowing that the commander of the devil division had just left, and he was a step late! Angry, Tosang was in a bad mood and gave his soldiers a brutal order to kill prisoners, slaughtering all the dozen wounded Japanese prisoners of war who were left at the scene!

Tosang had no idea what would happen when he and his chariot detachment stormed the courtyard, machine-gunned them, and finally killed them all. After leaving the courtyard with the chariot detachment, he joined up with the large army and continued to participate in the battle.

The commander of the Japanese brigade, Ishikawa Ryuichi, commanded troops at his brigade headquarters to fight against the Chinese troops entering the city. The staff officers, adjutants, and signal soldiers in the brigade headquarters were shuttling in and out, and the entire brigade and regiment headquarters was very busy.

"Report to the general, half an hour ago, the division headquarters was attacked by the Chinese Tiger Chariot troops!" The signal corps ran in and reported a shocking news. The brigade war room was silent for a moment, and all the devils were stunned by the news.

Ishikawa Ryu's face turned white at that time, and after pausing for a few seconds to calm down, he asked sharply: "How is the lieutenant general?" ”

"Your Excellency the Lieutenant General has evacuated the scene ahead of schedule."

The words of the signal soldier made all the devils present breathe a sigh of relief. Ishikawa Ryuichi's face finally softened a little. However, his ease came a little early, and after that, the successive pieces of information made it impossible for the commander of the Ishikawa Brigade to be at ease.

After a hard battle, the Japanese troops at the railway station were finally unable to resist the unfatal onslaught of the 81st Division, and were forced to evacuate, giving up the vital Zhengzhou railway station to the Chinese army. On the way to the railway station, the Yamada Wing met the 22nd Division of the 12th Army, which had entered the city. As soon as the two sides came into contact, they fell into a bitter battle, and the Yamada United team never had a chance to go to the train station again.

Muto Shaosa rushed to the battlefield and quickly integrated the Kobayashi detachment, blocking the vanguard of the 88th Column east of Wulipu, and the two sides fell into a stalemate. The Twentieth Division suddenly advanced eastward and joined the battlefield, the Muto detachment could not resist being defeated again, the whereabouts of the detachment leader Muto Hongyun were unknown, and the remnants of the Muto detachment had fled eastward in the direction of Kaifeng.

"Yaga!" Faced with such a chaotic situation, Major General Ishikawa could only use this short curse from time to time to soothe the anger in his heart.

The division commander sent another telegram, and His Excellency the Lieutenant General told the commander of the Ishikawa Brigade: You must do everything possible to hold Zhengzhou, especially to keep the Zhengzhou Railway Station! Within two days, the division commander would transfer another wing by train to reinforce the Ishikawa Brigade.

Two days? By train? The railway station has been lost, how can reinforcements come by train? Ishikawa Ryuichi secretly complained in his heart. But now he has a more important thing to do, and that is to rescue the Yamada United! The Kobayashi Wing is over, and if the Yamada Wing is defeated again, what awaits him is probably the severe punishment of military law!

He hurriedly telegraphed back to the commander of the division that the railway station had been lost, and at the same time reported to the division commander that the headquarters of the division had been attacked half an hour after the division commander had left. Ishikawa Ryuichi asked the division commander to immediately send reinforcements to support him, otherwise the loss of Zhengzhou may be inevitable!

After sending the telegram, Ishikawa Ryuichi hurried with all the personnel of the brigade to join the Yamada wing. It's not that he doesn't want to go out of the city first like the division commander, but he doesn't have the same deep background as the division commander. Even if people don't have him, this brigade will still be a lieutenant general in another place, if he doesn't have the Yamada United, I'm afraid he will be ordered to commit suicide immediately! Yamada United, he must be saved!

commanded the guard troops to rush and fight all the way, and finally opened a bloody road and returned to the division with the Yamada United, and Ishikawa Ryuichi was also half cold in his heart. Wing Commander Nosuke Yamada greeted him with an arm hanging from his head and gauze wrapped around his head. The captain of the wing is like this, and the situation of the soldiers of the wing can be imagined.

"Yamada-kun, please order the troops to advance east!" To the east is Kaifeng, and to advance to the east means to retreat. Although General Ishikawa did not explain, the meaning of the retreat was already clear. Yamada Nosuke thought he understood the intention of the brigade commander, and immediately called several captains under him to carry out pre-war mobilization.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander has come to take command of our wing. The general ordered my wing to move eastward, do you understand? Please get ready for battle when you get back, and start attacking east in an hour! Princes must fight bravely, for the honor of the empire we must win! Long live the Emperor! ”

"Long live the Emperor!" Several group leaders answered the wing commander's orders almost with a roar.

It is very difficult to deal with the devils who are desperate, and when all the devils of the Yamada Wing are playing with their lives, the various units of our army participating in the siege immediately feel tremendous pressure. The casualties of the troops soared, but the morale of the soldiers did not decrease. If we continue to fight like this, victory is certain, but the Third Army, including the 88th Column, and all the Chinese troops participating in the Battle of Zhengzhou, I am afraid that their vitality will be greatly damaged.

In the building of a foreign bank, Sun Tongxuan and Hu Fei met. The foreign bosses and employees of the bank had already run away, and the bank building was all made of reinforced concrete, and the fighting was so fierce that there was nothing to do in this building. Commander-in-Chief Sun found that the environment was not bad, so he moved his temporary command post to this building. Hu Fei was invited to discuss the military situation.

Except for Hu Fei and Liu Dong, almost all the high-ranking members of the Third Army attended the meeting. He Cuizhi, commander of the 81st Division, Zhou Zunshi, commander of the 20th Division, Zhang Shimin, commander of the 22nd Division, and senior officials such as chief of staff, secretary of the party department, chief of ordnance, and director of logistics of the Third Group Army all attended the meeting.

After the two sides saw each other, Sun Tongxuan pointed to the large combat map hanging on the wall and began to explain the current form:

The defeat of the Japanese army is decided, and the recovery of Zhengzhou is a foregone conclusion! However, the current Japanese army Yamada Wing is a hard nut to crack, and if this stubborn enemy is not eliminated, the recovery of Zhengzhou City will not be realized. Moreover, leave the Yamada United team in Zhengzhou, and the devil's reinforcements will continue to arrive. Whether Zhengzhou can be recovered at that time will be discussed in two.

Therefore, eliminating the Yamada United is the number one priority at the moment! In order to recover Zhengzhou, even if it is a great sacrifice, it is necessary to get rid of this stubborn enemy!
