On the same day that Suichi Desouchi and Naosaburo Okabe had a conversation, Tang Enbo was also paying attention to the changes in the war situation in North China.

In the past few days, the 98th Army's operation to airdrop military supplies by airdropping the Teng County defenders has not stopped. So far, they have been airdropping the Teng County defenders for three consecutive days.

During these three days, the 98th Army did not stop the bombing of the Seya Detachment. They dispatched at least 300 aircraft to participate in the bombing of the Seya Detachment.

Tang Enbo was keenly aware that this should be an opportunity. After being bombed by the 98th Army for three consecutive days, the Seya Detachment must have suffered a heavy loss.

Moreover, he heard that the 98th Army dropped a large number of German equipment and artillery on the Teng County Defense Army, which would greatly enhance the strength of the 22nd Army.

If the upcoming 98th Army is added, then **'s strength in Fuji Prefecture can definitely be called strong soldiers, and maybe ** can be in Fuji Prefecture Obaseya Detachment.

When Tang Enbo thought of this, he was a little moved. Should he follow the 98th Army and make some contributions?

Tang Enbo really likes to preserve his strength very much, and is also famous for not saving his friendly troops when they die.

Not only did he refuse to save the defenders of Teng County, but he even later pardoned the famous reorganized 74th Division and was killed by him. Zhang Lingfu also died in that battle, and Tang Enbo was removed from his post by Chiang Kai-shek because of that battle. It can be said that he has really cheated people and cheated them.

But he still has certain military talents, especially when facing the Japanese army, he was always able to make some contributions.

In the Battle of Nankou, he led 60,000** and 70,000 Japanese troops to fight for more than 20 days. The proportion of casualties in his 13th Army even reached 45%. Therefore, he was called the "anti-Japanese iron man".

In the battle against Taierzhuang, his troops first defeated Sakamoto Detachment Yudige and Yanglou, and then formed a siege against the Seya Detachment with Sun Lianzaka's troops, causing the Seya Detachment to retreat completely.

Others, such as ranking first in the "reward" in the ninth battle zone in the Battle of Wuhan; the Japanese army suffered an "annihilation blow" in the Battle of Suizao; the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the winter offensive; the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Zaoyi; the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of South Henan; the Japanese army was called "the number one enemy in Tianzi" by the Japanese army; although they were finally defeated in the Battle of Central Henan, they also had some achievements in counterattacking the Japanese army in Mi County; the Dushan Mountains were recovered in the Battle of Guiliu and relieved the crisis in the Southwest; the 58th Brigade of Japan was painfully annihilated in the Battle of Xiangxi; the large area of ​​land was recovered in the Battle of Guiliu, etc.

He did make a lot of contributions to China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and all this seemed to be inconsistent with people's impression of his incompetence.

So history is sometimes like a fog, always like a flower in the fog. In general, Tang Enbo is a person with mixed praise and criticism.

Just as Tang Enbo was thinking about possible variables in the battle situation in Teng County, a messenger ran in and said to him: "Report to the commander, the 85th Army urgently sent a telegram."

Tang Enbo answered the telegram, and after reading it, he showed a thoughtful look on his face.

"Commander, what happened?"

At this time, his chief of staff, Song Tao, asked.

"Jie Ren (the name of Wang Zhonglian, the commander of the 85th Army), sent a telegram asking me how the 4th Division should fight next."

Tang Enbo said to him.

Song Tao showed a look of understanding on his face. It seemed that he had also seen that the situation of the battle had changed, so he asked Tang Enbo for instructions.

Tang Enbo walked around the war room anxiously, then looked at the map and kept thinking hard.

"How long is the 98th Army from Teng County?"

Tang Enbo asked Song Tao.

"It should be less than two days away."

Song Tao thought about it and said.

"Two days?"

Tang Enbo looked at the map of Teng County and then said loudly: "Order the 4th Division to go to Teng County immediately. Then join the Teng County defenders to resist the attack of the Segu Detachment. The 89th Division should also go to Zou County as soon as possible to assemble. He is ready to support the battle of the 4th Division of our army at any time."

"Commander, are you going to have a serious fight with the Japanese?"

Song Tao said to Tang Enbo thoughtfully.

"Yes, now is the weakest time for the Seya Detachment, and the 98th Army is about to arrive. Of course, I will take this opportunity to pinch the soft persimmon."

Tang Enbo said with a smile.

After hearing Tang Enbo's words, Song Tao felt speechless. He found that the commander seemed to like to follow others more and more to choose the cheaper.

"And I have a feeling that there will be a big war in Teng County. Maybe we can follow the 98th Army and make a lot of military achievements."

Tang Enbo said with a smile.

"Commander, are you so confident in the 98th Army?"

Song Tao said in a little puzzled manner.

"That's right, the 98th Army is really strong. If the Japanese underestimate them, they will definitely suffer a big loss. If you don't believe it, let's take a look."

Tang Enbo said with a smile.

*******

On March 20, the sky in Teng County was still breeze and clear.

Faced with such beautiful weather, Setani Kei felt extremely disgusted because the 98th Army Air Force began to bomb them again.

All the Japanese hid like ground rats, some hid in the woods, and some hid in civilian villages. They believed that the 98th Army did not dare to bomb these houses casually.

In fact, they guessed correctly. After finding that the bomber's bombing operation did not have much effect, the bombers hurriedly left here under the protection of fighters.

But soon the sky in Teng County opened up again, and the 98th Army dropped weapons for the defenders of Teng County again.

Looking at the umbrella flowers in the sky, Setani Kei felt very difficult to understand.

Don’t they say that ** are very selfish and like to preserve their strength? Why does Lu Mingxuan like to increase other people’s strength so much? Doesn’t he feel sorry for those weapons and equipment?

Now the defenders of Teng County should be laughing happily. No one would be unhappy after getting so many weapons in vain.

What made Setani Kishi even more worried was the 4th Division of the Kuomintang. They actually broke through the Japanese army's blockade with all their might and joined forces with the defenders of Fuji Prefecture.

This surprised Setani Kei. In this way, the strength of the Fuji Prefecture defenders greatly increased, and it became almost impossible to break through Fuji Prefecture.

What made Seya Kishi even more angry was that just yesterday the enemy launched an active attack on their positions with the cooperation of bombers, which was something that was simply unimaginable in the past.

** He actually dared to take the initiative to launch an attack on the Great Japanese Imperial Army! And it was the 33rd Infantry Brigade led by him personally!

This was a great shame for him. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Empire were always so excellent that they easily repelled the enemy's attack.

However, this attack also exposed the enemy's growing strength. They actually dispatched more than 50 artillery pieces at one time and fired more than 1,000 shells at their positions.

All of these caused great casualties to his subordinates. When he thought of this, Setani Kishi felt extremely angry.

Not long after, after all the transport planes dropped all military supplies, they returned under the escort of fighter planes, and there were only two mosquito reconnaissance planes left in the sky to monitor the movements of the Japanese army.

After watching the enemy's plane leave, Setani Kei still felt extremely anxious because the division commander would have arrived in Fuji Prefecture yesterday, but it has been missing until now.

What if the 98th Army first arrives at Tengxian and then launches an attack on them?

At this moment, a messenger ran in with excitement. "Report to the brigade commander, the division commander has arrived here with the large army."

"Really? Take me to see the division commander."

After hearing his words, Setani Kiyo finally let go of a stone in his heart. Unexpectedly, he just came to the division commander.

Before he could walk out of the door, he saw the tired 10th Division commander Risuke Isotani and his group.

Seeing Keigo Isotani Ryosuke Seya said with a slight sensation: "I'm very hugging Seya, I'm late to avoid the bombing of the 98th Army plane."

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Commander of the Division."

Seya Kai quickly said happily. He only let go of his anxiety after seeing that Isoya Risuke was really here.

With the support of the 10th Division, he was no longer afraid of the 98th Army.

"How is the situation here now?"

As soon as he entered the war room and settled down, Isotani Ryosuke hurriedly asked about the battle situation here.

"It's awful." Setani Kei said with a sad look: "Our army was bombed by a large-scale enemy plane and suffered heavy losses. Currently, less than half of the people can participate in the battle, and many of them are still injured."

In fact, the situation of the Seya detachment was on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the Bushido spirit, his troops would have already fallen in morale and then they would have been pulled back to rest.

“Is the situation so serious?”

Isotani Ryosuke said in surprise.

"Yes, there are too many enemy planes and are powerful. Our army has extremely lack of air defense weapons, so it turns out like this."

Setani Kei said with a guilty look on his face, "I am willing to take full responsibility for the failure of the 33rd Brigade. Please punish me, the commander of the division."

"Okay, it's not your fault."

Isotani Ryosuke said with a headache. Now even the entire North China Front Army is helpless with the 98th Army's Air Force, let alone a mere Sega Detachment.

"Now tell me about the specific situation in Teng County."

Ryosuke Isotani said to him with a serious look on his face.

"Okay." After saying that, Setani Kei told Isotani Ryosuke about what happened recently in Fuji Prefecture.

After hearing his words, Ryosuke Isotani asked him a few more questions, which led to a preliminary understanding of the situation of the battle in Fuji Prefecture.

It was at this moment that a messenger ran in panic.

"Report to the division commander, our scouts in Nansha River discovered the vanguard of the 98th Army, and they were heading towards Tengxian County at full speed."

After hearing his words, Isotani Ryosuke and Setani Kei were both shocked.

After waiting for so long, has the wolf finally arrived?

"How many people have they come? What weapons are they equipped?"

Ryosuke Isotani asked quickly.
