"But we should find out as soon as possible whether Jin Zhao has been killed by the imperial army!" Tsukada paused and continued.

"Your Excellency, General! At present, the agents in Nanjing City have lost contact, and I am afraid that they have been more and less lucky, and it is impossible to determine whether Jin Zhao has been killed by the bombing for the time being. The Japanese officer said honestly.

"Yes!" Tsukada nodded, "Then think of other ways, and be sure to determine Jin Zhao's life or death as soon as possible." ”

"Hayi!" The officer replied respectfully, and turned away at Tsukada's signal.

Then Tsukada hurriedly came to the office of Shunroku Hatata, "Your Excellency Commander, tonight's bombing operation was very successful, the imperial army destroyed the headquarters of the Min army in one fell swoop, but it is not yet possible to confirm whether Jin Zhao has been killed by the bombing. Tsukada did not say that all 16 of their bombers were lost, let alone that the agents lurking in Nanjing were wiped out as a result. Because the purpose of their operation this time is to destroy the headquarters of the Min army, the most important thing is to eradicate Jin Zhao's henchman in one fell swoop, since they have successfully destroyed the headquarters of the Fujian army, this operation can naturally be regarded as very successful.

"Yo Xi! This is the best news I've heard in the past few days! Shunroku Hata said happily. Shunroku Hata really didn't ask about the losses of this operation, in Shunroku Hatata's opinion, these are not important, the important thing is to be able to get rid of the scourge of Jin Zhao, as long as you can get rid of Jin Zhao, even if you pay a big price, it is worth it. "Tsukada-kun, it is important to determine Jin Zhao's life and death as soon as possible, this is very important for the imperial army to make further battle plans!"

"Hayi! The humble duty must do everything possible to confirm Jin Zhao's life and death. Tsukada said very respectfully.

"Yo Xi! I'm still quite relieved that Tsukada-kun is doing things! Hata Junroku said happily, "If you can blow up Jin Zhao, you will annihilate the main force of the Min army in Nanjing." At that time, no one will be able to stop the imperial army, and China will eventually be completely included in the empire. ”

Speaking of this, Shunroku Hata stretched out his hand and turned the globe on the table, pointed to Japan on the globe and continued, "Tsukada-kun." You see, our Yamato nation, as the best nation in the world, can only have such a small territory, while the humble people of China occupy a vast and rich continent, which is so unfair! ”

"Your Excellency Commander is right! The humble Shina don't deserve to occupy such a vast and rich territory, but it doesn't matter, this place will soon be owned by our Great Japanese Empire! As long as we occupy this continent, we will be able to dominate the world, and I believe that this day is not far off! Tsukada said respectfully.

"Yo Xi! Tsukada-kun is right, this continent will soon be owned by the Empire. The whole world will soon be conquered by the Empire! Haha" Shunroku Hata laughed uncontrollably after speaking, as if Japan had really conquered the whole world. Tsukada naturally laughed out loud along with Shunroku Hata.

The two of them were in the office to their heart's content, when a Japanese staff officer walked in, "Report to Your Excellency General!" The 101st Division had just sent a telegram that Langxi and Guangde had been violently attacked by the Chinese army, and the situation was very critical. ”

The smiles on the faces of the two instantly froze, and Toshibatake strode to the huge map on the wall, and quickly found the location of Langxi and Guangde. Both Langxi and Guangde were located in the southern Anhui region, shortly after the Japanese 13th Army occupied Huzhou. The offensive continued to the west, taking advantage of the opportunity to capture these two counties. At that time, the 202nd Division and the 211th Division of the Min Army withdrew to Ningguo after a little resistance. The main target of the Japanese army was Nanjing, so they did not care about the remnants of the Min army pursuing these two divisions. Instead, they continued to advance in the direction of Nanjing, but just in case, the Japanese still left the 101st Division to garrison Langxi and Guangde, in order to prevent the Fujian troops of these two divisions from going north to support Nanjing. And now that Guangde and Langxi were suddenly attacked, it was obvious that the Min army of these two divisions was heading north, preparing to support the main force of the Min army in Nanjing. Thinking of this, Shunroku Hata couldn't help frowning.

"It seems that the Min army in Nanjing City is preparing to break through!" Tsukada said with a frown. Now the city of Nanjing has been surrounded by the Japanese army, the Japanese army occupies an absolute advantage, even if the Min army in the city can get the support of these two divisions, it will not help the overall situation, obviously the Fujian army of these two divisions suddenly went north at this time, and its purpose is to meet the defenders in Nanjing City to break through.

Hearing what Tsukada said, Shunroku Hata also immediately figured this out, so he said with a serious face, "We must not let the main force of the Min army in Nanjing City escape!" The 101st Division was ordered to hold Langxi and Quang Duc. In addition, Gangcun Ningci and Tada Jun were notified to strengthen their vigilance and strictly prevent the Fujian army in Nanjing from breaking through. ”

"Hayi!" Tsukada replied respectfully.

"Boom!" The sound of violent explosions was mixed with the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and the dense Fujian soldiers were attacking Guangde City.

In the headquarters of the 101st Division, Ito Masashi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, constantly walking back and forth in the headquarters. The fierceness of the Fujian army's offensive was completely beyond Ito Masaki's imagination. The fortifications built by the 101st Division in half a month were broken through by the Fujian army in just two hours, and all the positions on the periphery of Guangde City were lost. Masaki Ito had less than a company of troops left to hold on to Gwangtoku Castle. So at the same time, the situation in Langxi is also similar to Guangde, not long after the battle, the Japanese defense line was completely crushed by the steel torrent of the Fujian army, and thousands of little devils were defeated and forced to hide in Langxi City to hold on to help.

According to the information obtained so far, the Fujian army attacking Guangde has more than 40,000 people, and even with the establishment of the Fujian army, there are at least two divisions. And the intelligence from Langxi shows that there are tens of thousands of Fujian troops attacking Langxi. Thinking of this, Ito Masaki couldn't help but have a headache, how could there be so many people in the Min army suddenly. Reinforcements? Could it be that the reinforcements of the Min army have arrived? Ito Masaki comprehensively considered all the information in his hands and quickly came up with this shocking answer.

"Your Excellency, General!" At this moment, the chief of staff, Fukutaro Nishiyama, suddenly walked over.

"How? When will the reinforcements sent to us by Your Excellency the Commander arrive! Masaki Ito hurriedly asked. Ito Masaki originally thought that it would be very easy to block the attack of two divisions of the Fujian Army with the strength of one of his divisions. But soon Ito realizes that he was wrong, and he was very wrong. Judging from the current situation, he can't stop the attack of the Fujian army at all, and if he doesn't get it right, he will end up with the whole army annihilated. At this moment, Ito Masaki completely understood the strong strength of the Fujian army. So Ito Masaki couldn't care about his worthless face, and hurriedly sent a report to Tada Jun and Shunroku Hata at the same time, asking for urgent tactical guidance.

"Your Excellency General, don't worry, Your Excellency the Commander has ordered the 18th Division and the 106th Division to urgently support our department!" Fukutaro Nishiyama hurriedly said.

Ito Masaki hurriedly calculated how much time it would take for the 18th Division to be in Wuhu and the 106th Division to Huzhou, after these two divisions were urgently assembled, and then rushed to Guangde and Langxi. I'm afraid it will take at least half a day! But can you still hold on for half a day?

"Boom!" At this moment, a violent explosion was heard outside, and the headquarters was shaken. Long before the Japanese army captured Guangde, the Fujian army had already transferred all the residents in Guangde City, and the Guangde City captured by the Japanese army was only an empty city. There are no civilians in the city at all, they are all little devils, and the heavy artillery units of the Fujian army naturally bombard indiscriminately without any scruples, and the fighters of the Fujian army often visit the sky above Guangde, and mercilessly throw bombs on the heads of the little devils. In the face of the combined ground-air attack of the Fujian army, the Japanese troops in the city suffered heavy losses.

"If we continue like this, we won't be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive!" Ito Masakaki said with a helpless sigh.

Nishiyama Fukutaro didn't speak because he didn't know what to say, and although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that what Masaki Ito said was indeed the truth, and they couldn't hold out until reinforcements arrived.

"Order the troops, jade shattered battle!" Ito Masakaki said helplessly, then turned around and left.

As Ito Masaki had guessed, it was not the troops of the two divisions that attacked Gwangdeok and Langxi at all. Rather, there were four divisions. In addition to the 202nd Division and the 211th Division, Lu Xingrong's 203rd Division also rushed to southern Anhui after completing the reorganization. Along with the 203rd Division, Sun Liren's newly formed 213th Division arrived.

At this time, it was the 203rd Division and the 213th Division that besieged Guangde County, and Sun Liren and Lu Xingrong were standing at a forward observation post outside the city at this time. Sun Liren put down the binoculars and said with a serious face, "We must speed up and take Guangde as soon as possible." ”

Lu Xingrong nodded in agreement, because the little devil's reinforcements had already arrived to reinforce, if he couldn't take Guangde as soon as possible, when the little devil's reinforcements arrived, it would be a big trouble.

"Report! Commander-in-Chief Lu sent a telegram asking when our troops would be able to take Guangde City? At this time, a staff officer suddenly ran in and said loudly.

Lu Xingrong glanced at Sun Liren next to him, Sun Liren said with a cold face, "Our troops are several times that of the little devils, and we haven't been able to take Guangde after fighting for so long, it's really embarrassing to say it, I will immediately go to the front line to supervise the battle, and guarantee that within two hours, Guangde City will be taken!" After saying that, he picked up a helmet on the table, buckled it on his head, and walked out without looking back.

"it! Call back to Commander-in-Chief Lu and say that we promise to take Guangde within two hours! Go to the front! After speaking, Lu Xingrong also strode out. (To be continued......)
