"The enemy's defender, General Fang Xianjue, is a brave and skilled tiger general. The entire Tenth Army is determined to die, resists in every corner, and defends every inch of territory. His fighting spirit in fighting in an isolated city is really admirable. They fought to the end.

One day, still no one has surrendered to our imperial army..."

There is such a record in "The Final Battle of the Imperial Japanese Army".

But now because of the appearance of Liu Feiyang's subordinates, things have begun to change a little bit.

That is, after the artillery bombardment just now blew up an incoming Japanese squadron and almost wiped out the entire army,

Not only were the two rescued female reporters Qi Xin and Wang Xinran shocked,

Even the attacking troops on the Japs side were also shocked.

Especially when the Japanese regiment of the first battalion of the 568th Regiment of the 190th Division was completely wiped out,

This even shocked the top brass of the incoming Japanese army.

.......

.......

The headquarters of the Sixty-eighth Division,

Lieutenant General Sakuma, commander of the 68th Division, was the first to receive news of the defeat from the front line.

Because these defeated and annihilated Japanese troops were all troops under his command.

"Bagaya road!"

"Captain Kamenashi Kazaki was already stupid and stupid enough to be annihilated by the China Army. Who knew that even these reconnaissance troops are so stupid now?"

"In the process of chasing Tubal Road, they were crippled by the Chinese army on the Hengyang side, and the entire army was almost destroyed!"

"And it only used artillery fire coverage bombing for less than five minutes?"

"Hiss! When did the reconnaissance troops under my command become so vulnerable?"

"Call me the captain of the reconnaissance brigade, Nagasawa Okiura, right away. I want him to give me a reasonable explanation!"

"I want to know when the reconnaissance troops under my reconnaissance brigade were so easily annihilated by the Chinese army!"

When Lieutenant General Sakuma, commander of the 68th Division, read the second report of the defeat from the front line, he immediately became furious.

He was already very angry and embarrassed after he had a defeated officer like the commander Kamenashi Kazaki under his command.

But now there is actually news of the defeat of such a reconnaissance unit?

And it was not just the reconnaissance force of the Japs squadron that was almost completely destroyed by bombardment and bombing by Liu Feiyang's command,

All the Japanese reconnaissance troops he sent out were severely damaged by Liu Feiyang's reconnaissance troops during the subsequent reconnaissance missions.

Very few Japanese scouts were able to come back alive.

Chief of Staff Colonel Harada Teisaburo was very calm, standing aside and listening to the furious curses of Lieutenant General Sakuma, the commander of the 68th Division.

The Japanese army's current tactic is to prepare a besiege outside Hengyang City for reinforcements.

That is to first occupy various strongholds outside Hengyang City, and then build new fortifications to block the reinforcements of the national army.

The purpose of this is to make the 10th Army defending Hengyang City think that they are fighting alone and there will be no reinforcements.

Once these national officers and soldiers in the city are in trouble,

And they also believe that without foreign aid, they will lose their will to fight, which will damage morale.

Either surrender, or be completely annihilated by the fierce attack of the Japanese army.

Of course, the purpose of the Japanese army was to suppress the minds of the national troops in the city and make them surrender completely.

Therefore, what Chief of Staff Colonel Harada Tesaburo is thinking about is not the winning or losing of one or two battles, but the overall battle plan.

And he is still very confident about his side's strength advantage.

You must know that they will still have a lot of reinforcements in the future.

Moreover, the newly appointed commander Isamu Yokoyama is also a talented commander with combat experience.

You must know that the other party is a commander sweeping across Southeast Asia.

Therefore, the Chief of Staff, Colonel Harada Tesaburo, is really not too worried about a reconnaissance brigade suffering heavy losses and an infantry regiment suffering heavy losses.

"Since the Chinese army on the Quanxi Town side is so strong and the heavy firepower is fierce, then we can just change the attack route. However, as for the combat strategy on the Quanxi Town side, we can consider only siege instead of attacking.

!”

"First find out the other party's details, and then slowly figure it out!"

"But for the Chinese Army troops in other directions, we can cooperate with other divisions to launch attacks, strike hard, and clear the peripheral positions in other directions in one fell swoop, so that Hengyang City can still be controlled by us and isolated.

!”

"Then they will still be fighting alone!"

After the commander of the 68th Division, Lieutenant General Sakuma, vented his anger, the chief of staff, Colonel Harada Tesaburo, immediately offered comforting suggestions.

"Huh? Yoxi!"

"You have a good idea!"

"Then do what you say right away!"

When Chief of Staff Harada Tesaburo Saichi finished making this proposal, Lieutenant General Sakuma, the commander of the 68th Division who had been very angry just now, suddenly brightened up and immediately agreed.

"Hai! I will immediately arrange for the troops to stay here, and then the other troops will go over now to support the operations of the rest of the divisions! Although now only our 68th Division and the 116th Division are the main ones attacking Hengyang

troops, but the rest of the divisions will still send small groups of troops to cooperate with us in besieging the 10th Army of the China Army!"

"So our military strength is still relatively sufficient, and we also need to believe in the command ability of our commander Yokoyama Isamu. You must know that he is not only the commander-in-chief of sweeping across Southeast Asia, but also recently led our 11th Army to capture

The Chinese army has come down from Changsha, the important city!"

"You must know that this important city has been attacked by our imperial army three times on a large scale. However, in the end they either suffered heavy casualties or were unable to capture it. Therefore, it is a strong city and even attacked our empire at one time.

The morale and morale of the Imperial Army!"

"But with Commander Yokoyama Isamu's outstanding command ability, he captured this important city that caused more than 10,000 casualties to our imperial army, so we must have confidence in our new commander

, because he also participated in commanding the battle in this Hengyang battle!"

"We are just troops under his command, so my confidence in this Hengyang battle is very strong. The final victory will definitely belong to our imperial army!"

"There is no doubt about it!"

After getting the approval of his combat proposal from Lieutenant General Sakuma, commander of the 68th Division, Chief of Staff Harada Tesaburo Daiya expressed his inner thoughts.

"Yes! I understand! Go and instruct the troops below to clean up the outlying positions of the Chinese Army in other directions, and prepare to encircle the points and reinforce the Chinese Army in Hengyang City! And the Chinese Army coming for reinforcements!"

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Sakuma, commander of the 68th Division, nodded to express his understanding.

"Hai!"

.......

Chief of Staff Harada Tesaburo immediately agreed.

Then he went as ordered.

.......
Chapter completed!
