Outside Xuancheng City.
At daybreak, the Japanese slaves began to get busy, preparing to attack Xuan City again.
Major General Yoshishima Sadao also personally rushed to the front line to inspect the situation.
Chief of Staff Koto Megumi smiled and said,""Major General, the Chinese army in the city has suffered heavy losses. With the strength of the imperial army, we will be able to take down Xuan City in less than half a day.”
"Yosh!" Ushijima Sadao nodded with satisfaction and said,"Order the troops to attack as soon as possible.”
"Ha Yi!"
Ko Teng Hui quickly responded and then said,"It's just that…the Imperial Army has used up too much of their weapons and ammunition.”
Ushijima Sadao could not help but frown."The supply soldiers haven't transported the supplies over yet?”
"The troops are advancing too fast, and the pressure on the supply troops is also very high. But don't worry, Major General, a large batch of resources will arrive before noon.”
"Then we have nothing to worry about.”Sadao said proudly.
At this moment, a Japanese officer hurried over and said respectfully with his head lowered,""Regiment Commander, Commander sent a telegram.”
"Take a look at what Yanagawa-kun's telegram said," said Ushijima Sadao casually.”
Yanagawa and Ushijima both graduated from the 12th batch of the Army Sergeant School and the 24th batch of Luda University.
Both of them were classmates in the two military schools, but Yanagawa was doing much better than him.
Shoufu Taniya also graduated from the 24th batch of Luda University, but Shoufu Taniya graduated from the 15th batch of Luda University. He graduated three batches later than Liu Chuan and Niu Dao, so he could be considered their junior. However, Shoufu Taniya's later development was better, so he became classmates with them when he arrived at Luda University.
Among the three, Gu Shoufu was the youngest.
Ushijima Sadao was the oldest. He was three years older than Yanagawa Heisuke and six years older than Hissuo Tani.
However, among the three of them, Ushijima Sadao was the worst.
Ushijima Sadao was somewhat upset. Actually, Ushijima Sadao had already retired two years ago. After the war broke out, he was re-recruited into the army.
After putting on his military uniform again, Ushijima Sadao still cherished this opportunity very much. He had always wanted to make a name for himself.
During this period of time, their 18th division had been very brave, not losing to Gu Shoufu's 6th division by much.
"Ha Yi!"
Kotou Ei quickly responded, then took the telegram and read it carefully.
"This…"
Kotou Ei's expression changed drastically.
"What happened?" Ushijima Sadao frowned.
"Major general, the commander said in the telegram that the 6th division has been destroyed. The commander ordered us to stop attacking immediately and retreat to Guangde.”
"Nani?"
Tadao Ushijima snatched the telegram.
"How is that possible? Gu Shoufu's 6th division is a regular division, and our Kumamoto division has always been known for our tenacity in battle. The 6th division's combat strength is second to none among the divisions of the imperial army. How could they have been defeated by the Chinese, and all of them had been crushed in such a short time? What had happened to them?”
Tadao Ushijima was also from Kumamoto Prefecture. Although he was jealous and looked down on Shoufu Tani, who was a farmer, he knew the combat strength of the 6th division very well.
" Please calm down, Major General," Koto Ee quickly consoled." Since the Commander has sent a telegram, the news must be correct."”
"The 6th division is strong, but all of them suddenly shattered. Clearly, something major has happened in Langxi County.”
"If the 6th division is completely destroyed, our rear wings will be completely exposed. Our current situation is extremely dangerous, and the commander has already ordered a retreat.”
"Let's retreat quickly!"
Although Yoshishima Sadao was shocked, he was not stupid. He quickly said,"Order the troops to prepare to retreat."
"Send a telegram to Yanagawa-kun immediately.”
"Ha Yi ~!" Daisuke Koto quickly responded.
Ushijima Sadao was so angry that he threw away the binoculars in his hand and rushed back to the headquarters.
As soon as he entered the headquarters, a Japanese officer came up to him.
"Major General, something bad has happened.”
"Bagaya Road!"
When the furious Yoshishima Sadao heard this, he slapped him.
"Ha Yi!"
The Japanese officer saw stars and quickly lowered his head in fear.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?”
"Major General, our logistics regiment was ambushed by the Chinese army near the Nine Dragon Mound and suffered heavy losses.”
"The regimental commander of the logistics army, Lieutenant Kawauchi Masumi, and the 1,000 warriors of the logistics army were all crushed.”
"All the supplies that were transported were also robbed.”
