"Shi Ben-kun, send the 15th, 16th, and 17th Divisions to Nagoya for reinforcements. Strengthened into the 3rd Army on the island of Honshu. With the addition of the three main divisions, the strength of the 3rd Army on Kyushu Island will be even stronger, and we will have a greater chance of victory in the Battle of Isewan. In addition, among the 40 divisions that will be formed in the future, three divisions can be established in the Nagoya area. In this case, we will have a total of 10 divisions and an independent heavy artillery brigade in the Nagoya area. If General Iguchi was defeated under such circumstances, he would have completely betrayed the trust of His Majesty the Emperor. Senior Admiral Kawai suggested.

"Well, counting the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth divisions, the Third Army on Honshu Island has four main divisions, plus three second-line divisions and three reserve divisions. Ten divisions and one heavy artillery brigade are already very strong. General Iguchi Province, with so many troops, must win this battle. The sixth general of Shimoto said. If the Japanese Army completes the expansion of the army again, expanding to a total of 80 divisions, the number of troops assembled in Isewan will also reach 8 divisions, equivalent to one-eighth of the Japanese army. Not to mention, there are four main divisions among them. You must know that the Japanese Army has only 20 main divisions in total. The 3rd Army on Honshu Island is definitely the most powerful and combat-ready army in the Japanese Army.

"Then I'll send a telegram directly to General Iguchi. In any case, we must thwart the conspiracy of the Shina people in Ise Bay. Only in this way can we buy enough time. General Kawai said. The Great Kanto Earthquake devastated Japan, and it will take a lot of time to heal the impact. Originally, the Japanese Army hoped to rely on the Japanese troops on Kyushu Island to hold back the Chinese* army for them and buy them enough time. But now it seems. The Chinese* army simply does not give them this opportunity. So, they had to find another way.

"Well, let's do it. The people of China want to defeat us. Soon they will learn that this is simply not possible. The warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army will make these damned Shina people pay. General Shimoto said through gritted teeth.

Nagoya, Headquarters of the 3rd Army on the island of Honshu of the Japanese Army. Because of the sudden attack of the Imperial * army in Ise Bay. Hit the Japanese army by surprise. The Japanese army has fully moved in order to resist the attack of the Chinese* army. All units under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Army of the Japanese Army's Honshu Island have entered a state of combat readiness and are ready to launch an attack at any time. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can have a chance of winning.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters." Major General Koizumi Liuichi, chief of staff of the 3rd Army, sent a telegram to General Iguchi Province.

Senior General Iguchi opened the telegram and read it carefully. Soon, the tense serious look on his face disappeared. Instead, a confident smile. Although, the General Staff Headquarters issued a strict order for him to be sure to block the attack of the Chinese* army. However, the subsequent support given to him by the General Staff Headquarters made him very satisfied. In particular, the three main divisions were assigned to the 3rd Army on Honshu Island, which undoubtedly greatly increased the strength of his 3rd Army! He was fully confident that he would engage in a large-scale fierce battle with the Chinese army in Ise Bay.

"Gentlemen, I have good news for you. The General Staff Headquarters attaches great importance to this battle between us and the Chinese people. The 15th, 16th and 17th divisions were ordered to join the 3rd Army. They will be on their way to Ise Bay by tomorrow morning at the latest. Therefore. In two to three days at most, we will be able to get help from the three main divisions. In addition, the War Department ordered a new round of army expansion. In the Nagoya area, we were also assigned three divisions. These armies will all be assigned to the operational sequence of the 3rd Army. Therefore, we will soon have enough troops to fight the China. Defeating the people of China is just around the corner. However, before we can do our part, we must do our best to keep the Shina people in Tokoname, preferably by driving them out to sea. General Iguchi said.

"Onboard! Great Japanese Empire onboard! "Officers of the command. They all started chanting.

Originally, the general was a little nervous about the surprise attack launched by the Chinese* army. After all, the strength of the Chinese* army is too strong, even if the Japanese army has always paid lip service to bravery. However, they also have absolutely no confidence in defeating the Chinese army head-on. But now, the 3rd Army will be strengthened so that it has more than twice as many troops and about three times as many combat strength. In this way, they have every confidence to compete with the Chinese* army. After all, when the Chinese* army landed in Ise Bay, it was impossible to invest two or three hundred thousand troops at one time. Although the Chinese army is strong, they also need to guard against more areas. It is impossible to use all the military in Japan.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the 29th Division is in a hurry, and they have encountered heavy artillery bombardment from the Shina people on the outskirts of Tokoname, and have suffered heavy losses. The entire division, plus the 50th Infantry Wing, which had been crippled before, had lost more than half. Combined with the army that the Shina people landed in Tokoname, there were already thirty or forty thousand people, and they were no longer able to attack Tokoname, and they needed reinforcements. Major General Shikuichi Koizumi, chief of staff of the 3rd Army, reported.

Suddenly, the cheers in the headquarters disappeared completely, and were replaced by a deathly silence. For the last second, they were still cheering, thinking that the victory must be theirs. However, in the next second, the Chinese* army slapped them fiercely, hitting them with blue noses and swollen faces. Although the 29th Division is not the main division of the Japanese Army, it can be regarded as a powerful second-line division. Now, the 29th Division has suffered more than half of its casualties in such a short period of time. It can be seen how strong the combat effectiveness of the Chinese* army is. If they want to fight against the Chinese* army, it will undoubtedly be very difficult!

"Yaga! How so? There are so many regiments in the 29th Division, how can they be easily defeated and lose so much? General Iguchi asked angrily.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it was the navy of the people of China who did it. The navy of the Chinese people amassed a large number of warships and carried out a large-scale covering shelling of the suburbs of Tokoname. The 29th Division suffered heavy losses as a result. Major General Koizumi said.

"Despicable and shameless Shina people! The 29th Division was ordered to be stationed on the spot to avoid the shelling of the Chinese people. In addition, build a defensive line and prepare to resist the attack of the Chinese people. In addition, the 26th Division was ordered to rush to the front line immediately to reinforce the 29th Division. "General Iguchi Province Wu ordered.

As for the remaining 3rd Division, it was necessary to garrison Nagoya. It is an important base for heavy industry in Japan, and if it were to be captured by the Chinese* army, the consequences would be very serious.

An hour ago, the 29th Division of the Japanese Army, which had rushed from Nagoya to Tokoname City for emergency support, hurried all the way to the outskirts of Tokoname City at 10 p.m. Here they joined up with the 50th Infantry Wing. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General An Manqinichi, severely reprimanded the commander of the 50th Infantry Wing, Yoshihiko Hirose, Nakasa.

Subsequently, Lieutenant General Yasumanqin ordered the 50th Wing, together with the 58th Wing of the Japanese Army, to prepare for an attack on Tokoname, recapture Tokoname, and drive the Chinese* army into the sea. Even if it is not good, it is necessary to compress the Chinese* army to the port area and prepare for a subsequent counterattack.

Lieutenant General An Manqin did not know that their crisis was about to come.

In the sea near Tokoname, less than six kilometers from the coast, four 'Zhonghua-class' battleships, two 'Zodiac-class' improved heavy cruisers, three 'White Tiger-class' light cruisers, and three 'Ji-class' destroyers of the Imperial Navy were already waiting here. Although, the 4th Marine Division has all disembarked. Even if the Japanese army launched an attack on Tokoname, it would not necessarily be able to tear through the defense line of the 4th Marine Division of the Imperial Marines. However, fighting at night, the casualties of the Imperial* army will definitely not be too small. Therefore, the Imperial Navy was ready to give the Japanese Army a large-scale blow, so that they would completely lose their delusion of taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Imperial * Army to recover Tokoname.

At 10:15 p.m., the battleship 'Zhonghua' of the Imperial Navy opened fire, and three triple 343-mm main guns, seven 155-mm secondary guns on the side of the side, and five 88-mm rapid-fire guns, all opened fire. Because it was a land target that was hit, the battleship did not fire a salvo, but the guns fired freely. In this way, the effect of recoil on the battleship is effectively reduced.

The other warships also followed suit and began shelling. Time. The sound of artillery sounded on the surface of the sea, as if it were thunder.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

"What's that sound?" Lieutenant General An Manqin, commander of the 29th Division of the Japanese Army, asked with a frown.

But, soon, he knew what it was.

A sharp whistling sound sounded overhead, followed by a violent explosion, a dazzling firelight, dispelling the darkness. Countless Japanese officers and soldiers, the world was blown away by the air waves generated by the explosion. More Japanese officers and soldiers were torn to shreds in the explosion.

"Shelling! Naval shelling of the Chinese from the sea. Departments, quickly hidden. Lieutenant General An Manqin yelled with a pale face.

However, at this time, the Japanese army simply had no place to hide. On the narrow plains by the sea, there was no shelter at all, and they were completely exposed to the heavy fire of the Imperial Navy. According to the information obtained, the Imperial Navy continued to pour shells into the area where the Japanese army was located, wantonly killing these Japanese officers and soldiers.
