After defeating the invading 5th Division and the 1st Tank Regiment, and completely wiping out the 16th Division, the headquarters of Teng County was filled with joy.

Of course, there is also a unhappy person among them, and he is Chen Daqing, commander of the 4th Division.

The huge casualties of the 23rd Regiment made him feel very heartbroken, especially the death of Chen Chunyi, who was a real fierce general.

Fortunately, they were direct descendants of the Central Army, so it was very easy to replenish troops. Moreover, Nie Ziwen also told him that Lu Mingxuan agreed to give him 36 75mm field guns as a gift, which made his depressed mood a little better.

"Today's fighting was really exciting! The little Japs charged into my position desperately, and then we fired with machine guns desperately. In the end, we killed at least 2,000 little Japs! That's more than 2,000 people!

I have never been so happy in a battle!"

Sun Zhen laughed loudly.

After receiving the order from Shounei Temple to break out of the encirclement, the Japs in Jiehe Town and Binhe Town kept charging to the north.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army is no longer what it used to be. It not only has a large number of machine guns and artillery, but also has the support of the 98th Army's No. 4 tanks and No. 3 assault guns.

As a result, the Japs not only failed to break through their position, but suffered heavy losses.

After hearing his words, everyone burst into laughter.

Only Chen Daqing felt very angry. Among all the troops, his troops suffered the greatest losses, which of course made him feel very unhappy.

"There aren't many Japs in Jiehe Town and Binhe Town now. I think it's better to get rid of them at the same time."

Nie Ziwen said.

"Brother Nie, you don't plan to keep them to attract the little devils to attack."

Sun Zhen said curiously.

"The little devils behaved very strangely today. They have no intention of engaging in a decisive battle with our main force. I'm afraid they won't be fooled."

Nie Ziwen frowned and said.

"In this case, let's get rid of them."

Sun Zhen waved his hand and said.

"We have no objection either."

Zhang Xuezhong said.

At this moment, a messenger ran in.

"Sir, sir, an urgent message from the headquarters of the Fifth Battle Commander."

After saying that, he handed the telegram to Sun Zhen.

Sun Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed after reading it.

"We will have reinforcements soon! The three divisions of the 11th Group Army will arrive here tomorrow!"

After hearing what he said, everyone was very happy. The 11th Army belonged to the Guangxi Clan. The Guangxi Clan's combat effectiveness has always been famous in China for its fierceness.

With such powerful reinforcements, the next battles will be much easier to fight.

Among them, only Nie Ziwen smiled and said nothing. He knew more than these people.

Lu Mingxuan and Li Zongren had already secretly agreed that as long as the 11th Army was willing to help the 98th Army fight the Japanese, Lu Mingxuan would completely replace these three divisions with German weapons and equipment.

In about three days, the transport team transporting these equipment will arrive here. Once they complete the change of equipment, I believe their combat effectiveness will greatly increase.

"Now that we have reinforcements, I propose that after wiping out the Japs in Jiehe Town and Binhe Town, we divide our troops into two groups. One will attack Yanzhou and the other will recover Jining. What do you think of my plan?"

Nie Ziwen said to them.

"Recover Jining?"

After hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Are they going to counterattack so soon?

Is this speed too fast?

"Yes, there is no problem in regaining Jining with our current strength. Jining is located at the junction of the four provinces of Shandong, Suzhou, Henan and Anhui. It is an important transportation hub connecting East China and North China, the Central Plains and the coast, and has very important strategic significance. As long as we can

Recovering it will definitely greatly enhance the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people across the country."

Nie Ziwen said to them.

However, one thing he did not explain was that it was Lu Mingxuan's intention to recover Jining, because recovering Jining was of special significance to the 98th Army.

As long as Jining is recaptured, the enemy's path to attack Henan from Shandong will be blocked, and Jiyuan will be much safer.

Of course, Nie Ziwen would never tell them this.

However, there are still people here who can see Nie Ziwen's little plan at a glance.

However, the recovery of Jining was also a huge credit to them, and the 98th Army must have made the most efforts, so they were able to share the credit. Of course they were happy to agree without having to pay a big price.

As a result, the proposal was quickly passed amidst a flurry of discussion.

*******

March 24, Jining City, Shandong Province.

After having breakfast, Japanese squadron leader Nishioka Yuichi rode a tall horse and led his men to inspect the defense.

Recently, the Chinese radios began to broadcast the news that the three Japanese master regiments were wiped out in Zouxian. After hearing the news, the Chinese became very excited, and even looked at them with no fear in their eyes. This made the Westerners

Oka Yuichi felt very unhappy.

Will the three divisions of the Japanese Empire be completely annihilated?

What kind of international joke are you kidding?

You must know that the three divisions of the Japanese Empire are at least comparable to the Chinese army of 200,000!

Will they be wiped out?

Unless the sun comes out from the west!

Of course, Nishioka Yuichi didn’t know that the top brass of the Japanese army had been stunned by the news!

Now they are having a fierce debate on whether to replace Shounei Temple as North China Commander. As for whether they will make this fiasco public?

No! Of course they won't!

They didn't even have time to cover it up, so how could they make it public?

Therefore, Nishioka Yuichi still does not know that the Japanese army has suffered an unprecedented defeat in Zouxian County.

However, the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters still promptly issued an order for Nishioka Yuichi to be careful of enemies, which made him feel a little dissatisfied.

The Imperial Japanese Army is invincible. Do we need to be careful about the weak Chinese?

However, due to the orders from the base camp, he got up early today and took his soldiers to patrol the city to inspect the defense.

Riding on a tall horse, Nishioka Yuichi looked proudly at the Chinese people passing by.

He was originally just a poor man's son. He never thought that one day he would become the ruler of a city in China, which undoubtedly greatly satisfied his self-esteem.

"Taijun Nishioka, in order to celebrate the Empire of Japan's successive victories on the battlefield, my father specially booked the entire Zuixian Tower tonight. You must appreciate it then."

At this time, a middle-aged fat man wearing a short gray mandarin jacket and a shell gun on his waist said to him with a flattering look.

"Yo Xi! Mr. Wang is a friend of the Japanese Empire. I will definitely come to support him when the time comes."

Nishioka Yuichi said with a smile.

This middle-aged fat man is called Wang Wenmin, the eldest son of a big family here. Before the Japanese occupied Jining, they had already taken refuge in the Special High School and acted as Japanese spies. They can be said to be out-and-out traitors.

After the Japanese occupied Jining, Wang Wenmin immediately became the captain of the Jining puppet army, and it can be said that he gained huge benefits from it.

And every time Wang Wenmin's father, Wang Hongcai, invited Nishioka Yuichi to a banquet, there would always be a big gift.

These gifts are either some small yellow croakers or some antique paintings.

This is a great thing for Yuichi Nishioka, who has been very poor since childhood, so he likes to attend Wang Hongcai's banquets very much.

At this moment, a burst of rapid gunfire suddenly rang out from the east of the city.

"What happened? Could it be that the guerrillas attacked the city?"

When Nishioka Yuichi heard the gunfire, instead of being angry, he was overjoyed.

Being assigned here to guard Jining City, he had long been very dissatisfied.

As a soldier, he was very eager to go to the battlefield and make achievements, but he had to obey the orders of his superiors.

If guerrillas come to attack the city, that will be his opportunity to show off his skills.

He believed that not only could he easily defeat those guerrillas, but he could also capture some enemies. Only in this way could he demonstrate his bravery as Nishioka Yuichi.

"With Taijun Nishioka here, those guerrillas are still easy to capture."

Wang Wenmin said with a flattering look.

"Yo Xi! What you said is absolutely correct."

Nishioka Yuichi said proudly, and then he drew out his command sword.

"Come out with me and defeat this enemy! I want them to know how powerful I, Yuichi Nishioka, am!"

"Hi!" (To be continued.)
