Itagaki Seishiro was very angry in his heart at the moment, because this encirclement and suppression campaign had been fought so far, his troops not only failed to capture Luquan County and encircle and annihilate the Longya Task Force, but also lost two major general brigade commanders and most of the wings and brigade-level officers one after another.

If it weren't for him, the division commander and the division headquarters, the 5th Division could have been said to have been disabled by the Dragon's Tooth Task Force.

The 21st Brigade was almost wiped out, and the headquarters of the 9th Brigade was attacked again, and it was a nest, this kind of nest battle, Itagaki Seishiro had never fought in his life, and his Steel Army Division was about to become a dough division.

Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro was really anxious, and he was going to go into battle and command in person.

Chief of Staff Nishimura Liwen hurriedly persuaded: "General think twice, as the commander of the division and regiment, you shouldn't risk your life lightly, it's better to stay in Shimen and take command, it's safer." ”

"Baga, the 9th Brigade Brigade and Regiment Headquarters have all been wiped out, and now the troops of my 5th Division are leaderless, how can you let me sit in Shimen and command? Is it necessary to hand over the troops to the command of the 10th Division? Itagaki Seishiro couldn't hold back his anger and roared.

"As far as I know, Major General Aoki, the commander of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division, is calm and resourceful, and can be up to the task." Nishimura Riwen said boldly.

Seishiro Itagaki stared at him: "Nishimura-kun, what do you mean by that?" ”

Nishimura Levin Osa hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, the front line is too dangerous, looking at the combat history of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, we can find that the reason why they have been able to repeatedly inflict heavy losses on the Imperial Army is mainly due to the surprise night attacks of small elite troops!"

Qiao Youhua must have a strong and well-equipped unconventional special operations force under his command! From the Kunisaki detachment, the 6th Division to the current 9th Brigade can be corroborated! Therefore, it is really not appropriate for the general to leave Shimen at the moment and go to the front line to command the battle at the risk of his own life. ”

In fact, Nishimura Lewin also missed one thing that he didn't say, that is, not long ago, when the heavy artillery wing had just arrived at Shimen, the attack on Shimen Railway Station, it was obvious that the other party was also premeditated and prepared, and turned to assassinate high-ranking officers of the imperial army.

Nishimura Riwin didn't mention this, but Seishiro Itagaki thought of it through his words, and he was indeed a little afraid, if it wasn't for his good strength, he might have died that night.

Although Seishiro Itagaki is an imperial soldier, he is also a person, and now he is in a high position, with seventh-level ninja strength, he is a well-known figure in both the military and ninja worlds, and the height of this kind of person is destined to them, and there will be no ordinary low-level soldiers and samurai who are really willing to die for their emperor or the empire.

The so-called Greater East Asia co-prosperity and the so-called bushido spirit are nothing more than a brainwashing method used by the Japanese military top brass to maintain their rule.

Therefore, recalling the previous assassination attack, Seishiro Itagaki was afraid, but also dispelled the idea of going out of the city to Luquan to the front line to direct the battle.

Seeing that Seishiro Itagaki no longer insisted and waited for him to give him a step down, Nishimura Riwen hurriedly added: "General, after these days of fighting, my 5th Division has suffered heavy losses, more than half of the combat troops have been lost, and the 10th Division is still strong.

Therefore, in the next siege battle, it should be dominated by the 10th Division, supplemented by our 5th Division, where is the order of the Front Army Headquarters, you can directly command the Aoki Brigade to fight in the air, and you are not afraid that he will not obey your orders! In this way, the general does not have to put himself in danger, but can command the battle, so why not? ”

Pretending to ponder for a moment, Itagaki Seishiro nodded in agreement with some embarrassment.

…………

After Qiao Youhua and Jiang Haidong killed the brigade headquarters of the devil, they went all the way to the north, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Japanese army, the four of them passed through a large field and came to Erdaogouzi, which had been occupied by the Japanese army at this time, at least on the ground.

The devils left about 100 people in Erdaogouzi Town for midway communication, material transportation and vigilance.

The four of them quietly killed two devil sentry posts in the south of the town, and entered a tunnel in the south of the town near a bombed house, and several mines were planted in the tunnel, all of which were made by Jiang Haidong himself.

Led by him, the four of them passed through the minefield at the mouth of the tunnel without danger, followed the tunnel, and began to return to Luquan County.

…………

The camp of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army was finally reduced to rubble, and the fire burned all night, destroying hundreds of military trucks and killing and burning dozens of livestock used for transportation.

The 5th Division, which had originally stockpiled enough food and ammunition for a week's fighting, was wiped out overnight by the 5th Division, which now only had half a division left.

Last night's fire and explosion also affected a large number of devils' heavy soldiers, nearly 1,000 devils were killed and injured, many of them were burned, although they have not died for the time being, but in this war years with backward medical conditions, it is only a matter of time before they die.

Major General Aoki of the 8th Brigade had just ordered his troops to extinguish the fire and ordered his troops to prevent the castle Shina Army from taking the opportunity to counterattack, and he was almost out of breath when a telegram from Seishiro Itagaki was sent to him by a communications soldier.

After receiving the telegram and opening it, Major General Aoki's face was very entangled, and he was mixed with mixed joys, happy that Itagaki Seishiro had officially appointed him as the former enemy's commander-in-chief of the Luquan Encirclement and Suppression Campaign, and worrying that Itagaki Seishiro had clearly mentioned in the telegram that the 5th Division had suffered heavy losses in battle and heavy losses in materials.

Unable to take on the main attack anymore, the main attack was changed to the responsibility of the 10th Division, and he was ordered to immediately launch an attack overnight to stabilize the morale of the imperial army and give the Chinese army a retaliatory blow!

However, Seishiro Itagaki also gave Major General Aoki a promise, that is, air force fighters will arrive tomorrow morning to reinforce him.

After pondering for a long time with the message, Major General Aoki came back to his senses, made up his mind, and said to the attendant adjutant beside him: "Order the artillery unit to open fire immediately, and target the position of the West China Army in the city!" The troops of the 8th Brigade are attacking in turn, and they are not allowed to stop without my orders! ”

"Hay!" The attendant adjutant hurriedly bowed his head and quickly took the order.

…………

Bang! Bang! Soon, the Japanese artillery group roared again, and one after another shells rose into the air, dragging a dazzling tail flame through the dark night sky, and slammed towards the defensive position of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force in the west of the city.

On the position, the officers and men on duty of the 3rd Battalion, who were in full array, quickly gave warnings, and the officers and men of the whole battalion braved the Japanese artillery fire and quickly made preparations for battle to prevent the Japanese from taking the opportunity to sneak attack.
