This time there was too much gain, which greatly affected the speed of the retreat, most of them withdrew to the other side, and some of them had just begun to board the ship, and at this time, the Japanese reinforcements caught up.

With the order of Fang Zhaoan, who rushed back, the mortars began to carry out intensive artillery bombardment on the enemy to cover the evacuation of the attackers. The Browning large-caliber machine gun also forms a terrifying firepower network, and the range of this thing can reach more than 2,000 meters.

The reinforced Japanese troops did not carry heavy weapons, but this time they suffered hardship, who would have thought that the army of the Yamashiro government would have such powerful firepower? But even so, the retreating troops showed that several boatmen were wounded.

When all the personnel crossed the river, Fang Zhaoan ordered the two assault groups to retreat in an orderly manner, and the Japanese troops on the other side did not dare to pursue, and there were no ships for a while.

The people along the river, dragging their families and mouths, have evacuated their homes, and were arranged by the transportation battalion to hide in the mountains, anyway, there is no property at home, the transportation camp has brought a lot of rice, oil and salt, even if there is nothing, the people are willing to support the war of resistance.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? Where did so many mountain city government troops attack the airport? How did they get here? ”

When the 116th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Quzhou, the division commander, Lieutenant General Shunjiro Takeuchi, rushed to the airport in a hurry, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and immediately burst into a rage.

The wreckage of the planes was still emitting black smoke and flames, the warehouses had been flattened, the command platform had collapsed, the watchtowers had collapsed, the dormitory area had become ruins, and there were corpses everywhere, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

In this battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi, the 13th Army drove the troops of the Third Theater of the Shancheng Government everywhere, and basically achieved the pre-set goal, which can be described as a great victory.

However, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, commander of the 13th Army, was killed by a mine on his boat, and Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai, commander of the 15th Division, was killed by stepping on a mine on horseback.

At present, in Quzhou, the commander of the First Flying Regiment, Major General Imaishirokuro, and the commander of the secret unit, Major General Shiro Ishii, have died again, and their bodies have not yet been found, and more than 500 infantrymen, pilots, and ground crews at the airport have all been wiped out, and more than 40 planes have become iron shells, and the losses are immeasurable.

Two lieutenant generals and two major generals were killed in one battle, and this battle was clearly lost!

"Report, we found the guns used by the two generals in the ruins of the warehouse, judging from the situation at the scene, they were in the warehouse to resist the enemy's sneak attack, but the ammunition exploded, and as a result, nothing was left, some charred stumps and broken flesh, and it was impossible to tell who was who, and the explosive power of the heavy aerial bomb was too great." The combat staff officer said with two deformed pistols.

"It is reported that after our search, we found that the enemy had infiltrated the airfield through the drainage ditch around the runway, and the tunnels were well connected to various parts of the airfield, and the alert troops stationed at the airfield had not paid attention to this." Takada Toshisada said.

"You mean to say that this was a premeditated sneak attack?" Shunjiro Takeuchi asked.

"It wasn't necessarily premeditated, it could have been a precaution for the other side to want a decisive battle with us at the airport, but the previous Yamashiro government troops didn't take advantage of it, and it didn't work until now." Takada Toshisada shook his head and said.

"Report to the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, so many enemies have approached the airport to launch a sneak attack, the secret services have not received relevant information, and they have not noticed anything about the enemy's whereabouts, and the empire has caused such heavy losses, it is clearly the responsibility of the secret services!" Shunjiro Takeuchi said.

The 116th Division is the garrison in charge of the Quzhou occupation area, and it is an unacceptable reality that such a big incident happened at the airport, suffered such heavy losses, and took the lives of two major generals and was blown to the ground! Seeing that the black cauldron was about to fall on his head, he immediately decided to throw the pot and pull the secret service out to top the pot.

Originally, the function of the secret service was to be responsible for reconnoitring the enemy's situation and collecting intelligence, but the agents of the secret service knew nothing about such a large-scale military operation of the enemy, so who did they blame?

The second section of the advisory department of the special high class is located in Hangzhou.

"Report to the section chief, I have found the location of the border guerrilla headquarters of the Shancheng government in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui, this is the road map of their sphere of influence, the local situation is very poor and backward, there are a small number of small factories, the geographical environment is very complicated, the road is rugged and steep, not suitable for large-scale use of troops."

"I have found signs of guerrilla activities in Qimen, Shexian, Yixian, Xiuning, Tunxi, Jixi, Chun'an, and other places, and the main force is composed of 5,000 or 6,000 guerrillas, but according to the information I have heard, only half of the troops have undergone rigorous training and are equipped with weapons imported from the United States, and the rest of the guerrillas are similar to the ragtag army of the Shancheng government, with a variety of weapons, and the area where the main force is currently active is near Fenkou Town in Chun'an County." Chiyo Hoshino said.

"When did you find Fenkou Town?" Keichi Sato asked.

He carefully looked through Chiyo Hoshino's written report and map markings, proving that during this time, the beautiful agent in front of him had indeed made a lot of hard work on the guerrilla zone and the strength of the guerrilla headquarters.

When he saw the dense number of guard posts and observation posts marked on the map, he felt dizzy. In addition, I found several trails that were not on the map, and there were also detailed records of rivers and hillsides.

"I arrived in Kaihua from Tunxi in the Yellow Mountains four days ago, and I heard from them, and these guerrillas are uncertain and never stay in one place, usually every ten days and a half months to change places, presumably because they are worried about being encircled and suppressed by the Japanese Empire."

"Since they are in Chun'an, we will immediately notify the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army and mobilize heavy troops to take action against them, and I think that with the strength of our Imperial Japanese Army, we will soon be able to completely destroy the main force of these guerrilla forces and remove the threat to us." Chiyo Hoshino said.

She waited until the main force of the guerrilla headquarters returned to Chun'an, and then came to Hangzhou from Kaihua, and Han Lin gave her a detailed explanation of all the situations.

"Miss Hoshino has worked hard, you are far away in the Huangshan area to conduct reconnaissance, and there are some situations that you don't know yet, although the large-scale attack of the 13th Army on the third theater of the Shancheng government has achieved victory and realized the strategic intention formulated at the beginning, there have also been unexpected situations."

"During the three months from May to August, the commander of the army, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada, was riding on a ship that touched a mine at the Yiqiao Bridge in Hangzhou and was unfortunately killed, and the commander of the 15th Division, Lieutenant General Naoji Sakai, was also killed when his horse stepped on a mine during the battle against Lanxi."

"On the 16th, something even worse happened, the command post led by Major General Shiro Ishii, the commander of Unit 731, and some members of the secret force, Major General Rokuro Imaishi, commander of the First Flying Regiment, was attacked by a mountain city government army at Quzhou Airport, and the two generals were unfortunately killed, losing hundreds of imperial soldiers and more than 40 aircraft."

"The military department was very angry at the situation of this battle, and could not accept this fact at all, this is a heavy loss that our Imperial Army has never had since the establishment of the army, and even a shame, plus this operation, the 13th Army has also lost more than half of the strength of the division, and in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to launch a large-scale attack on the enemy." Keichi Sato said.
