The Japanese troops in Fengxin City all knew about it, and when they took the people in the city back, that was when they launched an attack. When exchanging hostages, Yoshimoto Sadaji was also worried that Ouyang Yun would not keep his word and use snipers to sneak attack Okamura Ningji, so he was also prepared, not only asked the sixteen officers who came out to greet him to protect him tightly, but also put out a large array of machine guns, and he would shoot and kill the people who were exchanged for hostages as soon as there was a change. Yoshimoto was really worried about Okamura Ninji's safety, he stood on the tower of the south gate of Fengxin, and watched Okamura Ninji slowly walk towards the city under the escort of a group of officers, and as the distance got closer, his mood became more and more nervous. Nakajima Jingcun looked north, hoping that the 10th Division and the 108th Division would be able to support as soon as possible.

Okamura Ninji and his entourage were still more than 100 meters away from the south gate, and Yoshimoto Sadaji ran down the city wall, and then ordered the few remaining armored vehicles to drive out of the city and set up a car formation at the south gate gate. As soon as Okamura Ninji entered the car formation, he took a cadre of the headquarters to greet him, all of them bowed, and then, with tears in his eyes, he said to Okamura: "Commander, you have suffered!" ”

Okamura was expressionless at first, and suddenly burst into tears: "One general is incompetent, and it will affect the three armies!" Gibbon, why are you suffering? Wouldn't it be nice for me to die at the hands of Ouyang Yun? It is a privilege for me to be able to dedicate my life to the great cause of the common prosperity of Greater East Asia under His Majesty the Emperor. Now, even if we can return to the north, what face will I have to return to His Majesty the Emperor?! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is not true, you still don't know that the base camp has a new appointment for you. Your Excellency, don't you advocate the art of using China to control China? His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp have already approved it, and His Majesty the Emperor has entrusted you with this matter. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Nakajima Jingcun took a step down, and at this time stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency Okamura, Yoshimoto-kun, let's go back to the headquarters first, I estimate that it won't be long before the Shina people will attack!" ”

Yoshimoto Sadaji looked up at the position of the Cadet Army in the distance, and saw that the flow of people that was still dense just now had become sparse, and he thought in his heart and said, "Your Excellency Nakajima reminds you, Your Excellency Commander, let's go to the headquarters first." ”

Being captured in the heavily guarded headquarters was a great shame for Okamura Ninji. Hearing them mention the headquarters, his forehead was bruised, his heart was humiliated, and he said in a deep voice: "Then go back to the headquarters first." The group went to the headquarters, and Okamura saw that the city was heavily defended along the road, and the soldiers did not slack off because of his capture, gritted their teeth to clean up their feelings, and asked Yoshimoto Sadaji: "Where are the 10th and 108th divisions?" Is there a telegram coming? ”

"Your Excellency Tokugawa sent a telegram not long ago mentioning this matter, and the First Air Corps saw them crossing the river in the early morning, and now they should be in Toshin!"

"Didn't Yokoyama-kun send a telegram back?"

"At three o'clock in the morning, a telegram came back, saying that it had encountered a large force of student soldiers and was seeking to break through."

"Have you sent any more reconnaissance troops?"

"Yes, but none of them have been reported yet."

The remnants of the 11th Army can successfully break through, and the hope lies in the 10th and 108th Divisions. However, considering Ouyang Yun's veteran soldiers, he would definitely not miss the defense of the northern front. Moreover, there was a division of the Cadet Army that occupied Yongxiu early, and Okamura Ninji felt deeply confused about the future, and when he thought of it, his brain couldn't help but hurt.

Okamura Ninji's face suddenly turned pale and his steps staggered, Yoshimoto Sadaji and the others were taken aback, Yoshimoto held him and asked, "Your Excellency, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine. What about Sotake Yamamuro? Did they have a telegram coming? ”

"Yamamuro-kun has led his troops to break through and successfully returned to Madang, he has organized a troop and is marching to Nanchang."

"Did Yamamuro say how many troops were left behind to garrison Madang Fortress?"

"Yes, a total of two infantry brigades and three brigades of logistical baggage troops."

"Later, you can send him a telegram and ask him to make a feint, and don't leave the boundaries of Panyang County," Okamura said, his face growing paler and his brow tightly twisted together from the unbearable pain.

Yoshimoto was very worried when he saw it, and called, "Your Excellency—"

Okamura shook his hand, and the picture of Ouyang Yun walking towards himself with a silver needle suddenly appeared in his mind, and he palpitated for a while, and scolded in his heart: "Eight grids, this Ouyang Yun, he stabbed me with a silver needle, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that he is hiding a bad heart!" ”

Ouyang Yun wanted to use acupuncture to turn Okamura into a waste, and when he went to apply the needle, he saw that he had a runny nose, so he used the excuse of using acupuncture to help him treat his cold and wind cold. Okamura was frozen for most of the night, and sneezing with a runny nose was inevitable. He didn't believe that Ouyang Yun would be so kind, but he didn't think much about it. After being taken out of Fengxincheng, he was determined to live and die, so he didn't care about how he died. And now that I think about it, I began to doubt Ouyang Yun's real motive for acupuncture.

Seeing this, Yoshimoto Sadaji became more and more worried, and he was about to say something, when he heard a sudden muffled thunder in the northeast. In this Nanchang battle, the east and west of the 11th Division can be said to have been defeated by the artillery of the Cadet Army, so all the little devils are particularly sensitive to the sound of the Cadet Army's artillery, and he immediately changed color and said: "It's not good, artillery attack!" Then he pointed to a courtyard on the left hand side and shouted to the staff officers of several headquarters who were following closely behind Okamura Ninji: "Quick, take the commander in and hide!" Then he said to the brigade commanders and wing commanders: "Go back and command the troops, the people are going to attack!" ”

All the devils realized that the Cadet Army would attack after the change, but they still didn't expect the attack to come so quickly. All the devil officers dispersed one after another, and they had only run out of the city only a dozen meters away, when the sound of shells breaking through the air sounded, and then the "boom" explosion sounded, and fifty or sixty shells had already exploded all over Fengxincheng.

In this round of artillery bombardment to destroy the enemy's morale, Zhang Tianquan used a total of one brigade of heavy artillery in accordance with Ouyang Yun's instructions, and under the command of a brigade commander who was on the front line who was proficient in artillery warfare, he used area bombardment to clean the entire Fengxin City with artillery fire from east to west and from north to south.

The 20-minute shelling consumed nearly 5,000 shells, directly turning the entire Fengxin City into ruins. The remnants of the 11th Army's Western Route Army suffered heavy casualties in this round of sudden shelling, and when the shelling stopped, there were less than 3,000 devils still alive.

The sound of explosions was incessant, and recently it almost exploded at the entrance of the air-raid shelter where Okamura Ninji and others were hiding, not to mention that the devil gendarmes guarding the entrance of the cave were blown up and howled wolf and miserable. Even the dust falling from the top of the cave was enough for them to tremble, for fear that the air-raid shelter hastily dug by the new residents would not be able to withstand the pressure and would collapse.
