Bohai Bay, surging waves.

Japanese warships cruised on the sea. It's like a black monster.

There are destroyers......

There are cruisers......

There were battleships......

There are aircraft carriers......

It was part of the combined Japanese fleet. The commander was Vice Admiral Tadaichi Nagumo.

In order to stabilize the situation in North China, the Japanese navy made great efforts this time.

The combined fleet was dispatched.

Three aircraft carriers alone came.

The carrier-based aircraft on board are close to two hundred.

In addition, there were two battleships, five cruisers, more than thirty destroyers.

At that time, such a naval fleet could already rank among the top ten in the world.

Therefore, Nagumo Zhongyi felt that he was overkill.

The Chinese simply do not have a navy. Do you need to send so many warships?

Damn Army Red Deer......

A bunch of waste, rice buckets.

Actually let himself fall into the encirclement of the Chinese army. Almost wiped out.

Or three divisions were surrounded at once.

To the consternation of the emperor, the base camp hurriedly ordered the naval fleet to be dispatched immediately.

Since the emperor had already intervened in the matter, the navy did not dare to slack off. A third of the main forces of the Navy were dispatched at once. and appointed Nagumo Tadaichi as the commander to quickly reinforce Bohai Bay.

Admiral Yamamoto 56, commander of the Combined Fleet, and Senior Admiral Nagano Shusei, head of the Naval Command Department, also personally inquired into the matter.

The Navy must complete the task.

Otherwise, they will definitely be held accountable.

According to the urgently agreed plan, the remaining Japanese army red deer immediately retreated to the east.

Retreat all the way to within range of the ship's guns.

Fortunately, the Chinese army obviously has no experience in fighting a large encirclement battle. There was a gap in the encirclement. The remnants of three divisions of the army successfully retreated to the seashore.

But here's the problem......

It's all tidal flats. There aren't any decent docks.

The remnants of the three divisions wanted to retreat, and they had to be picked up by boat. And it is not possible to carry heavy weapons. Including 75-mm mountain guns, which had to be abandoned in their entirety.

There was no way, and the remnants of the Japanese had no choice but to break all the heavy weapons.

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

A mountain cannon was blown up.

And the remaining 105-mm heavy cannons or something, which were also blown up.

These heavy cannons, which were not blown up by the planes of the Dirt Eight Road, successfully pulled to the sea, but unfortunately, because they could not get on the ship, they eventually had to self-destruct. Previous efforts have been in vain.

If I knew this, I might as well blow up the dirt eight roads on the road. Or self-destruct while in Taean.

In order to protect these heavy cannons, the Japanese artillery suffered numerous casualties. Unexpectedly, in the end, the whole army was wiped out.

Tank troops are gone.

The artillery units are gone.

In this battle, the Japanese can be said to have lost all their pants.

"Yaga ......"

"Abominable ......"

Isoya Lian's mind is like a knife.

I didn't expect it to be such a result.

Instead of opening up the Jinpu Road, it was an embarrassed retreat.

It was almost wiped out.

When he came, he was vigorous and full of ambition, and when he left, he threw away his armor and was defeated.

I feel that I can't meet others without immediately apologizing.

But in the end, there was no courage to disembowel.

Too painful.

Stand.

Nor is it willing to fail. I want to make a comeback.

It was only with great difficulty that I boarded a transport ship. Not to feel like Atlas any longer. I'm glad I got my life back.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a communications officer arrived.

The face is tense. Keep your head down. Obviously there is a very important telecommunication.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, the base camp is in an emergency. See for yourself. ”

"Bring it."

Ryosuke Isoya took the telegram.

Read. His face gradually turned pale.

Came so fast......

Sure enough, it's to hold yourself accountable.

All the Japanese officers around him also lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe.

The contents of the telegram, they can all guess. It must be that the base camp removed Ryosuke Isoya from his position as division commander and transferred to the reserve. Or send it to a court-martial.

Judging by Ryosuke Isoya's reaction, it should be transferred to the reserves.

If he were to be court-martial and that he would have mustered up the courage to commit suicide.

It is a great shame to be judged. No one can accept it.

In fact, it is.

Ryosuke Isoya finally learns his fate. That is, immediately transferred to the reserves. Then return home. From now on, I will be at home.

"Your Excellency......"

All the officers are injured in things, and the rabbit dies and the fox is sad.

Ryosuke Isoya was dismissed. Transferred to the reserves. Their fate is not much better. Most of them will be transferred to the reserves.

Below the junior zou, lieutenants at all levels are estimated to be reprimanded. Then downgrade the use. Transfer to other divisions.

The people of the other divisions knew that they were transferred from the 10th Division, and they would definitely be ridiculed. They never had a chance to look up.

Everything is because of the defeat of the battle.

It's still an unprecedented defeat.

Three divisions, almost all of which were annihilated. I don't know if it's unprecedented, but it's absolutely unprecedented.

The number of the 10th Division may be cancelled.

If it were a different place, perhaps many officers would feel that it was better to die in battle and forget all the jade.

However, in this battle of Quancheng, no Japanese officer thought so.

Because, if they really do this, the result is really all broken.

There were no other results.

There is also no chance of changing the outcome.

The three divisions have already broken most of the officers.

Now there are less than 5,000 people who can retreat to the ship. Almost a tenth of the previous combatants.

Previously, when going south, the 10th Division, the 114th Division, and part of the 5th Division all added up to nearly 50,000 people. The number of troops can be said to be very sufficient.

But now......

There are less than 5,000 left.

In other words, the other 45,000 people have all been shattered.

If the rest of the people also want the jade shatter, the Chinese army will definitely do what they want. Let them seek mercy and be merciful.

Bitter......

Depressed......

Despair......

I didn't expect this to be the result.

In the end, they were forced to ask for help from the navy red deer in humiliation, so that they could survive.

"Your Excellency......"

Suddenly, another communications staff officer arrived.

A telegram was carefully delivered. It was sent by the North China Front Command.

Ryosuke Isoya waved his hand. Say you don't want to see it.

From the moment he received the telegram just now, he was no longer the division commander of the 10th Division. He was removed.

Now that he has been removed, all affairs have nothing to do with him.

Others who love to watch who watch.

As a result, no officer dared to move. Everyone bowed their heads blankly.

The chief of staff of the division has already been killed.

The brigade commander was all killed.

The wing captain was also all shattered.

The captain is also very little.

The highest rank on the scene, except for Ryosuke Isoya, is a Nakasa from the baggage team.

Do you want this Nakasa to accept the order?

In the end, it was a remnant of the Japanese captain, a scarred Shaozuo, who took over the report.

The telegram was issued by Shouichi Terauchi. The 10th Division, the 114th Division, and the 5th Division were asked to retreat to Tianjin immediately. Wait there for the arrival of new recruits, and then reinstate the formation.

The Japanese shozo read the telegram aloud.

Ryosuke Isoya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The number of the 10th Division was not revoked. He didn't get the target of public criticism.

Others were relieved as well.

Odd......

The handling of the base camp this time doesn't seem to be very serious?

Except for putting himself into the reserves, it seems that no one else has been dealt with seriously? The resumption of the establishment is indeed unexpected.

Is it because ......

The base camp is already starting to become numb to failure?

In Songhu and Jinling before, the losses of the Japanese army were also very large, and the number of casualties was also more than tens of thousands.

The loss this time is more than 40,000, which does not seem to be a lot.

The key is that this defeat has a great deal to do with the base camp and the North China Front Headquarters.

It was their command error that made the rescue untimely.

The 108th and 109th Divisions, which went south to reinforce them, never opened the Yellow River defense line. and even fell into a siege itself.

Yes......

Siege.

Ryosuke Isoya suddenly felt much more relaxed.

It seems that he will not be lonely. If the commanders of the two divisions of the 108th and 109th divisions had not been killed in battle, most of them would have been transferred to the reserves......

"Your Excellency......"

Suddenly, another communications officer quietly arrived.

He also doesn't care that Ryosuke Isoya has been removed. The contents of the telegram were read directly to Ryosuke Isoya.

"Your Excellency......"

"Cangzhou has fallen ......"

"Tubalu captured Cangzhou ......"

"Nani?"

Ryosuke Isoya was taken aback.

Cangzhou was occupied by Tubalu?

Sky!

What a siege!

The 108th and 109th divisions are really going to be finished.

Alas......

The passing year is not good......

How could the Japanese army have suffered consecutive crushing defeats?

What's the problem?

Who was it that caused the crushing defeat of the Japanese army?

……

"Nani?"

"The fall of Cangzhou?"

"How is that possible?"

"Yaga!"

Nishio Shouzo was taken aback.

He never thought that Cangzhou, which was fine before, would fall.

There's a wing of Japanese troops stationed there!

That's a team! There are more than 3,000 people! Actually overcome?

Yaga!

How powerful is the dirt eight roads!

It's over......

It's over......

The headquarters of the Second Army and the two divisions were really encircled this time.

To the south, there is the Yellow River defense line, which cannot be penetrated at all.

To the west, there are more and more dirt roads, and it is estimated that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people. Although most of them are casual clothes. But the fire was fierce.

Moreover, as time went on, the combat effectiveness of the Dirt Eight Road became stronger and stronger.

Tubalu is in actual combat, constantly improving the combat effectiveness of soldiers. Almost every day, the combat effectiveness of the earth eight roads is improving.

Moreover, the number of people in Tsuchihachi Road is also increasing.

Hundreds of people can be added almost every day. Or even thousands.

A large number of Chinese people are being mobilized by the Tubalu to join the anti-Japanese ranks.

How many people are there in China?

Forty thousand!

How many Chinese are there in North China?

Close to 100 million!

Even if one percent is mobilized, there are 1 million troops!

That's an army of a million!

If it is a mobilization of 5%, it is 5 million troops!

That's an army of five million!

There are so many countries in the world, purely in terms of the number of troops, how many countries can compare with China?

I shudder to think about it!

If the fierce battle continues, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army will become lower and lower. And the combat effectiveness of the Dirt Eight Road will become stronger and stronger.

One trades off the other. The final result was a crushing defeat for the Japanese army.

What to do?

What to do?

It's like an ant on a hot pan, and I don't know what to do.

To the east is the sea.

To the north is Cangzhou.

Annoying......

"Nani?"

"Cangzhou?"

Shouichi Terauchi was also surprised.

Unexpectedly, when Ryosuke Isoya got out of trouble, two more divisions were under siege.

This time the situation is even more serious.

To the south was the encirclement of Tubalu and other Chinese troops.

In addition to the Tubalu, the combat effectiveness of other Chinese armies, as well as the will to fight, were not taken into account by the Japanese army.

This is also the fundamental reason why Ryosuke Isoya was able to successfully escape.

If there is also a dirt road to the east of Izumi Castle, Ryosuke Isoya will definitely not be able to run away. Not a single Japanese soldier could escape.

But between the Yellow River and Texas, it's all Tubalu.

Unless the Japanese army retreated north immediately and recovered Cangzhou. Otherwise, don't try to escape.

What?

East?

Asking for help from the Navy Red Deer?

I'm sorry!

Navy red deer don't have that many transport ships for the time being.

Two divisions, more than 30,000 people! How is it possible to board the ship all at once? Also, there is no pier over there. Boarding is only possible with light baggage.

Lightly armed, it means to abandon all heavy weapons. Including heavy artillery and tanks, and so on.

It's almost the equivalent of coming back with a rifle on your back.

This was unacceptable to the Japanese army.

Therefore, the only option is to storm Cangzhou. Reopen Jinpu Road.

"Withdraw!"

"Retreat north at once!"

"At all costs, immediately recover Cangzhou!"

"Quick!"

Shouichi Terauchi decisively ordered.

When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. He must not hesitate in the slightest.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

Nishio Shouzo didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered.

Two divisions immediately retreated north. Killing Cangzhou with great momentum. Prepare to reconquer Cangzhou at all costs.

"Commander Li, prepare for a bloody battle!"

"It's up to you whether you can eliminate the two divisions of the Japanese invaders."

Zhang Chu said in a deep voice.

After leaving Quancheng Airport, Zhang Chu ran to Cangzhou.

How did he get here?

I drove the first six to come over. Landing on the outskirts. Then came to Li Yunlong's side.

Then, together with Li Yunlong, he organized troops to launch a strong attack and finally took Cangzhou. The two Japanese divisions south of Cangzhou were completely blocked.

But the battle is not over yet.

It's just getting started, to be exact.

The Japanese will definitely not be willing to be surrounded, and will definitely attack Cangzhou frantically.

The Japanese invaders from the Pingjin region will also frantically take it and besiege Cangzhou together. It's destined for a fierce battle.

Li Yunlong has to face two divisions of the Japanese invaders!

This start is much more difficult than Cangyunling.

The test of Li Yunlong has just begun.

"Damn, Lao Tzu now has eight battalions! There are 7,000 people! Not a single Japanese soldier wants to pass by me! ”

Li Yunlong is domineering and leaky.

Indeed, he is now a strong soldier. The army is strong.

Although they are all new recruits who have not been in the team for a long time. However, after a period of actual combat, the combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.

Zhang Chu brought a large amount of weapons and equipment to Li Yunlong.

And military uniforms.

Finally, you can buy military uniforms.

A set of summer clothes for 98 funds. 10,000 sets only cost 980,000. Definitely worth it.

When I was in Springs, the military uniforms had not yet been opened. You can't buy it if you want to. Unexpectedly, after conquering Cangzhou, the mall can finally buy military uniforms.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

Military uniforms were airdropped directly.

That's 20,000 sets in total. The preliminary standard is two sets per fighter.

"Change!"

"Change!"

Li Yunlong immediately ordered the troops to change their outfits.

When all the soldiers changed into brand new uniforms, the spirit immediately came out.

They wore brand-new military uniforms, and under the leadership of Zhang Chu, they successfully entered Cangzhou.

Zhang Chu took the lead and opened a bloody road.

A wing of the Japanese invaders was completely annihilated.

There was no surrender.

All were killed, blown up, or killed in a suicide charge.

Most of the streets of Cangzhou were also bombed into ruins. All were blown up by various bazookas. The fighters opened the way directly with bazookas.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

In some places, Zhang Chu also used flamethrowers.

The Japanese criminals hiding in the dark castle screamed from the flames and ran out of it one after another. Covered in flames. Appalling.

The captain of the Japanese invaders, who was also burned to death with a flamethrower.

This thing, even Li Yunlong shuddered when he saw it.

It's horrible.

But it is too suitable to use it against the Japanese invaders.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Gunshots rang out from the front.

It was the sporadic cavalry of the Japanese invaders. to scout the enemy.

As a result, he was killed by a single shot by a sniper of the Eighth Route Army. Those scattered war horses were also whistled by the soldiers.

"You said before that there was a Sun Desheng?"

"Yes!"

"Shi Yousan's subordinates?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chu nodded.

Li Yunlong began to think about how to dig people.

He already has an artillery battalion, just one cavalry battalion left. There were eight battalions of infantry. There is no cavalry battalion that is not like that.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Intermittent gunshots.

There are still sporadic Japanese cavalry. The Japanese army has not yet come up.

Zhang Chu took the opportunity to rest for a while.

When I woke up, there was a lot of gunfire. The main force of the Japanese invaders finally arrived.

The two divisions that returned from the south were 30,000 men. Rushing towards Cangzhou with great momentum.
