At present, the main force of the 114th division of the Japanese army, with the cooperation of the navy and air force, had successfully defeated the defensive forces of the Eastern Army and occupied the ancient city of Xingzhou.
In order to facilitate the pursuit of the troops in the important areas later on.
Hence, they set up their headquarters here.
As the commander of the 1104th division, Yoshioka Kunihiko naturally contributed greatly.
Just as he was about to drink the celebratory wine.
A piece of bad news came.
It was already late at night.
Yoshioka Kunihiko had just taken a shower and was about to go to bed.
A series of hurried knocks sounded on the door.
Before he could ask anything, the Chief of Staff's anxious voice came from outside.""General, something bad has happened. The troops we sent to attack the commander of the 10th army have been defeated, and the news is that they have been completely annihilated!”
Yoshioka Kunihiko was shocked. He quickly opened the door and asked the Chief of Staff,""What did you just say? The 66th Regiment's siege failed?! Aren't you joking?"
The chief of staff shook his head with a heavy expression."General, not only the 66th Company, but also the two battalions that were transferred over have all been defeated. Now, we have lost more than 80% of our troops!”
Yoshioka Kunihiko was furious.
He roared,"Baka! How did Yuichiro Ichiro command them? He actually fought this battle to such an extent and caused us to suffer such heavy losses. I want to hold him accountable!!”
The Chief of Staff lowered his head and said," General, please calm down. Yuichiro Ichiro has already died in the battle."”
Yoshioka Kunihiko, who was originally furious, was shocked when he heard this.
He couldn't believe it.
It was just a small force attacking the commander of the 10th army. How could they do such a thing?!
He even killed the company commander of one of the four main infantry companies under him!
However, looking at the chief of staff's solemn expression, he knew that the news was true.
Facing Yoshioka Kunihiko's puzzled gaze, the Chief of Staff did not explain but continued,""General, we have just received an order from the command center. They want us to encircle and annihilate the Chinese Army at the captive camp at Shanchuan Gang as soon as possible.”
"Shanchuan Gang prisoner of war camp?"
At this time, Yoshioka Kunihiko still didn't know that Chu Feng's troops had taken down this prisoner of war camp.
The Eastern Kingdom should not have any extra troops now!
At this moment, Yoshioka Kunihiko's shock could not be any greater, because the prisoner of war camp had more soldiers than an infantry regiment.
According to normal calculations, even if the Eastern Kingdom had a division, it would be impossible for them to defeat their field company in a field battle!
The chief of staff explained," The headquarters have already verified the situation at Shan Chuan Gang. The reason why the prisoner camp lost was mainly because of the small group that attacked the commander of the 10th army. They even rescued a large number of prisoners and took them in.”
" When our troops arrived, the enemy was already fully prepared and was waiting for our troops to arrive. That was why Ichiro Ichiro was ambushed and killed.”
"We also confirmed one thing. There is a very powerful tank among the enemy, which is a great threat to us.”
" Tank?!"
Yoshioka Kunihiko looked puzzled. He did not understand how such a small force could get a tank, so he asked,"Could it be that they seized it from the prisoner of war camp?”
Because at this point, the only ones active in each battle zone were their tanks and armored vehicles.
As for the Eastern Kingdom, there was basically no more.
Therefore, they didn't think that this was Chu Feng's tank.
The staff officer lowered his head and replied," The headquarters didn't say anything. They just told us to be careful of the tank and armored vehicle on the other side and to dispatch troops to destroy it as soon as possible. The Air Force will also send fighter jets to reinforce us after dawn.”
After saying that, he raised his head and said seriously," General, we're not looking into this tank now. Instead, we need to organize our forces to destroy this group of Eastern Country troops as soon as possible!”
Yoshioka Kunihiko nodded and asked the Chief of Staff,""Chief of Staff, how many troops do you think we should deploy to encircle and suppress them?”
The Chief of Staff pondered for a moment and slowly said,""General, I think we should send out all our forces!”
Then, he glanced at Yoshioka Kunihiko.
Seeing that the other party did not speak but looked at him, waiting for an explanation, he continued,"According to the number of times we were defeated by this army, we had mobilized at least 4000 infantry, cavalry, artillery, and tanks. In total, we had no less than 6000 infantry. However, even so, we were still defeated. Therefore, I suggest that we use all of our troops and take them down in one fell swoop!”
Of course, he still had something to say.
That was that this army seemed to be very powerful, and it was not something that they could take down with the same number of troops.
Yoshioka Kunihiko nodded. He felt that there was nothing wrong with what the Chief of Staff said, so he ordered,"If that's the case, we'll leave only an infantry company, engineers, and other logistics troops to guard here. All the other troops will be mobilized and march toward the Shanchuan Gang captive camp!”
"In addition, contact the garrison in Hu Province and tell them to be careful in case they are ambushed by this newly reorganized Chinese army. We definitely can't let them escape north.”
Yoshioka Kunihiko also knew that they had underestimated this small force the previous two times and had only been increasing their numbers.
This was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, and was a great taboo for military strategists.
It was no different from the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather and giving them away one by one.
Following Yoshioka Kunihiko's order, the Chief of Staff received the order and began to mobilize the troops.
On Chu Feng's side.
He was discussing the next step with Zhang Dashan and the others.
At this moment.
The platoon leader, Liu Hui, held his gun and walked up to Chu Feng with two or three men who looked like workers.
Chu Feng turned his head and looked at them with a puzzled expression.""Liu Hui, these two?"
Liu Hui first saluted Chu Feng and the others, then pointed at the two workers and said,""Captain, these two men said that they were engineers from the Yunzhou Iron Mine. They were captured and sent to this prisoner of war camp because they were unwilling to work for the Japanese. At the same time, they also said that a large number of workers and technicians were also captured at the Yunzhou Iron Mine.”
