The fear in the hearts of the mortars was increasing, and they originally just wanted to finish the white phosphorus shells in their hands as soon as possible, and then use ordinary shells to attack the enemy, but they did not expect that it was their spirit of wanting to run out of shells as soon as possible that the soldiers on the front line did not have a chance to fire a single shot.

The densely charged Yue army had about two wings of strength, that is, more than 6,000 men, about the same number as the defenders of the Reading Brigade, and no one could have predicted that a battle that should have been particularly tragic would turn into a one-sided situation.

The army lost its combat effectiveness in an instant, losing the strength of two wings at once, even Su Dao was shocked, the initiator of this artillery battle had also lost control of the battlefield, so the result waiting for them would be a fatal blow.

In the rear headquarters of the army, Matsui Ishine stood in front of the battle map, holding his pig-like fat old waist with both hands, but it could be seen from this expression that Matsui Ishine was very angry.

"Masaki Ito, is there anything else you want to say?" Although Matsui Ishine was very angry, when talking to the junior officers, he still tried his best to maintain a calm mood, thinking about the two wings that had just been annihilated, Matsui Ishine had a feeling of wanting to be angry, if it wasn't for forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Matsui Ishine could guarantee that now he could definitely swallow Ito Masaki in one bite.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. The destruction of the 101st and 149th Wings this time, the headquarters thought that it was not a sleep that I could prevent. Ito Masaki said that as a lieutenant general of the reserve, his command of the battle may not be as good as that of the regular army, but at least Ito Masaki believes that he has not been derelict in this battle.

"Baga, are you justified in saying this? The 101st Brigade, the most elite of the 101st Division, was annihilated by the Chinese Army with only one charge, what do you think will happen if this news is transmitted back to the base camp? I think you should have a caesarean section right now. Matsui Ishone listened to Ito Masakaki's words, and could no longer bear the fire in his heart.

Although the two wings of the 101st Brigade are all in command and the military flag is also there, the combat units below have basically been lost, and if the 101st Brigade is to regain its combat effectiveness, it must replenish a large number of troops from the mainland. And the most fatal thing is not the loss of a brigade of troops, but the fact that since the beginning of the war, there has never been such a heavy loss in the empire.

The whole two wings, nearly 8,000 people, that's it, of course, except for the previous encounter at Huishan Wharf, but one thing that Matsui Shigen couldn't understand was that the 101st Division seemed to be a bit unfavorable this year. A month ago, the 102nd Wing was annihilated at Huishan Wharf, but I didn't expect the 101st Brigade to be annihilated in Zhabei a month later, and at present, the 101st Division is only left with a cavalry brigade, a field artillery wing, a baggage wing and an engineer wing.

"Your Excellency Commander, originally after most of the 101st Brigade was annihilated, the subordinates wanted to disembowel, but the subordinates still have something to say now, although it may not be able to save the entire battle situation, but at least let other troops pay more attention. After my observation, 90 percent of the 102nd Brigade was defeated at the hands of the unit in front of us. Their methods of attack are so cruel that the despicable people of China, they don't know what kind of shells are used, the kind of shells explode in the air, it looks like fireworks, but once the fireworks fall on their bodies, they will penetrate the whole body in an instant, and even the bones will be burned. ”

"Originally, I didn't believe in the cause of death of the 102nd Brigade, but now, I believe it, because the 101st Brigade and the 102nd Brigade suffered the same thing, our soldiers can't resist it at all, Your Excellency Commander, please be sure to let the troops pay attention to this force, and at the same time hope that Your Excellency the Commander can mobilize the air force and naval artillery to bomb it, if this force is not destroyed, the harm to the empire will not be small." Masaki Ito said.

In fact, after the 102nd Brigade was annihilated and the brigade flag was lost, Ito Masaki felt that his life was short, but Ito Masaki did not give up, but wanted to exchange his life for his life through his own efforts, but he did not expect that it would be such a result now. With the fall of the 101st Brigade, Ito's hopes were completely shattered.

"Soga, Ito-kun, please rest assured, I will let other troops pay attention to your suggestion, I have ordered someone to prepare food and drinks for you, please enjoy it!" Matsui Shigen said solemnly, and immediately saluted Ito Masashi, showing his respect, no way, for a person who is about to die, even if it is his own subordinate, even if he makes a big mistake, he has to give him some face and give him some respect.

"Hey, please Your Excellency the Commander must avenge the officers and men of my 101st Division, please." Ito Masaki immediately bowed his head, and without looking back, he went to enjoy the last meal of his life under the leadership of two guards.

Matsui Ishine nodded, he agreed to Ito Masakaki's last request, looking at Ito Masaki's gradually departing figure, Matsui Ishine was quite regretful, Ito Masaki was indeed a good soldier, but it was a pity that his luck was too bad, otherwise he would not have ended up like this.

"Tsukada-kun, Ito-kun's words, do you think it's true or false?" Matsui turned his head to look at his partner, Lieutenant General Tsukada, chief of staff of the East China Front.

"Hey, judging from Ito-kun's advice and intelligence summary, I think Ito-kun's words are very true. Some time ago, our intelligence agency found a promotion order from Nanjing, and a third battalion under the 32nd Division of the original branch was quickly promoted to the Reading Force Regiment of the Ninth Group Army and then to the Reading Force Brigade since the beginning of the war. Their commander, Su Dao, was revealed to be a German instructor of Chinese descent, who had previously served as a captain company commander in the German army. Now as the brigade commander of Major General Zhina, I think that the defenders of Zhabei this time should be the reading brigade of this Su Dao. Tsukada immediately said, he didn't say it before, because he was not sure about the real surname of the information, and an abnormal promotion on the side of the branch was really not related to this battle.

"Oh? Tsukada-kun, do you have any details about this Su Dao? "Matsui Ishone seems to have sensed something abnormal, and he was promoted directly from captain to major general in two months, which is really unusual.

"There is no more detailed information yet, but it is basically certain that Su Dao has participated in operations in Fuzaobang and Huishan Wharf." Tsukada shook his head and said.

"Yo Xi, then let the naval aviation bomb, and the army artillery will also bomb, blow them to pieces, and then let the warriors of the empire attack." Matsui Ishine said loudly, but after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that there were still some problems, so he continued: "All the special bombs that can be used must be wiped out by this reading brigade." ”

"Your Excellency Commander, the Air Force will not be able to provide support within five hours, and now they are all near Hangzhou Bay."
