"Nani?"
After hearing what Osamura Ci Ning said, Junroku's eyes froze. He walked out of his desk, his face as dark as ink.
"Baka…"
With a loud slap, Jun Liu slapped Aokamura Ci Ning's face.
"Commander, I'm sorry to disappoint you!”Gangcun Ci Ning lowered his head tightly, his attitude extremely respectful.
At this point in time, Asamura Ci Ning was only a lieutenant general. He had not been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Xiazhong dispatched army.
In the original history, it was only when the Battle of Changshi broke out, when Junroku was transferred away, that Tsining Asamura would become the commander-in-chief of the Xiazhong dispatched army and be promoted to the general of the Japanese army.
"Isn't the 108th Division a rebel army of the Imperial Association? The 217th Brigade was a fully-fledged brigade. Even if the 217th Brigade were to face two military strategists at the same time, they would not be defeated. How did Yamamoto Yoshiki command the 217th Brigade in battle?”Jun Liu shouted angrily.
Ever since the Japanese army invaded China, no exploration team had been completely wiped out.
It was a great humiliation for the Xiazhong army to have such a thing happen to them. He, Junliu, had lost all his face because of the 217th Exploration Team!
"Commander, the captain of the Yamamoto Righteous Brigade is dead!”Gangcun Ci Ning braced himself and said. He was also very angry in his heart.
The 217th Brigade was under the 11th Division, and he was the commander of the 11th Division. He had to bear some responsibility for the destruction of the 217th Brigade.
Perhaps, the matter of him taking over as the commander of the Central China dispatch army would be ruined because of this!
"My term is almost up, and the Army Department is preparing to send me back to China. A month ago, I recommended you to the Army Department to be the new commander of the Central Xia Army.”
Junliu looked at Ogura Ci Ning, shook his head and sighed,""Now, the 217th Brigade under your command has been destroyed in China. Perhaps the Army Department will appoint Lieutenant General Yasuhiko Kazumiya as the new commander of the Central China Dispatching Force!”
"Commander, I understand. I've troubled you!”Osamura Ci Ning smiled bitterly.
He knew that the matter of him taking over as the commander of the Central China Dispatching Corps might really be over!
There were two legions under the Central China Division, the 11th and the 2nd.
Tsining Asamura was the general of the 11th army, while Suhiko Kazumiya was the general of the 2nd army.
Most importantly, he was not just a lieutenant general. He had another identity.
Kazumiya Fujihiko was a member of the royal family and a prince. In terms of seniority, Kazumiya Fujihiko was the uncle of the Japanese emperor.
Seeing the bitter smile on Gangcun Ci Ning's face, Junliu rubbed his head and waved his hand.""You can leave first. You don't have to worry too much about this matter. I will personally report it to the Army Department!”
Upon hearing this, Azuoka Ci Ning stood up straight and bowed respectfully.""Commander, thank you!”
……………………………………
At this moment, in Changsha, Hunan Province, in the 9th Battle Area Command.
The high-ranking generals of the 9th Battle Area were also discussing the situation reported by the 108th Division.
On the main seat, Chen Cheng, a first-class army general of the Republic of China, was shocked. His face was filled with disbelief as he said," Two days ago, the 217th Brigade set off from Xiang City to attack Li Yan's 108th Division. However, Li Yan led the 108th Division to take the initiative to attack and face the 217th Brigade head-on.”
" In the end, the 108th Division and the 217th Brigade had a full-scale confrontation at Jiuji Town in Nanzhang. The result of the war was that the 217th Brigade was completely wiped out by the 108th Division. Moreover, the Major General of the 217th Brigade, Yoshiki Yamamoto, even led a group of officers to commit suicide!”
"Everyone, what do you think of this situation? Is this credible?"
Whoosh!
As soon as he said this, the scene was in an uproar. The generals of the 9th Battle Area all revealed expressions of seeing a ghost.
The 217th Exploration Team was a B-class full fledged exploration team with a total of 7500 people, while the 108th Division only had 5,000 people.
Even if the 108th Division had powerful firepower, they couldn't possibly be strong enough to wipe out a full Japanese exploration team, right?
"Commander, could Li Yan have exaggerated the results of the battle in the telegram?”A general asked. He maintained a skeptical attitude towards this telegram.
"Commander Wang, you worry too much. Li Yan didn't exaggerate the results.”The Deputy Commander of the Ninth Battle Area, Xue Yue, paused for a moment and then continued,""I've already asked the intelligence department in Xiangyang. According to the reply from the director of the intelligence department in Xiangyang, Li Yan did lead the 108th Division to wipe out the 217th Brigade. Moreover, the 108th Division suffered very few casualties.”
" Hiss…" Many generals gasped in shock when they heard the data.
As far as they knew, the 108th Division had less than 6000 soldiers. However, the 108th Division was able to wipe out the 217th Brigade at the cost of 1,000 casualties. Such a glorious record was unbelievable!
"Everyone, in this telegram, Li Yan explained in detail the reason for the victory. The 108th Division relied on their powerful firepower to wipe out the 217th Brigade.”
Chen Cheng looked at the telegram in his hand with a hint of envy in his eyes. He continued,"Although the 108th Division has less than 6000 people, they are all equipped with semi-automatic rifles. In addition, the 108th Division is also equipped with 300 general-purpose machine guns, 147 mortars, 96 75mm mountain cannons, 10 105 howitzers, and 12 155 howitzers!”
"What is it? The 108th Division, which had less than 6000 people, was equipped with semi-automatic rifles and a large number of machine guns and mortars?”
"What the hell? Did Li Yan rob the arsenal? Where did he buy these weapons and equipment?”
"96 Mountain Cannons, 10 Howitzers, and 12 Howitzer Cannons. My god, this artillery configuration is even stronger than our Artillery Division?”
"F * ck, if our division could have such a firepower configuration, I could also wipe out a Japanese exploration team!”
In an instant, all kinds of exclamations rose and fell.
Obviously, the generals of the 9th Battle Area were shocked by the luxurious equipment of the 108th Division!
"If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. This saying is indeed true!”Xue Yue sighed loudly and said enviously,""If all the officers and soldiers of the 9th Battle Area could have the same level of weapons and equipment as the Japanese army, then we wouldn't have to be so passive!”
In the entire battlefield of Xia country, whether it was the national army or the Chinese army, the reason why they could not defeat the Japanese army of the same number was because of their weapons and equipment.
If the weapons on both sides were the same, the Japanese army would not dare to invade China!
Unfortunately, due to the Qing government, the industrial system of the Republic of China was very weak and could not be compared to that of Japan.
It was precisely because of the weak industrial system and the backward development of science and technology that Central Xia was actually bullied by Japan!
