"Report!"
"Commander, the Ono Regiment is calling!”
Just as the commander of the North China garrison, General Mei Jin, was looking at the world map.
The Chief of Staff of the North China garrison, Jiro Nakano, walked over.
"Oh, is it the Xiaoye Regiment?"
"Has he arrived at the designated location and confronted the two divisions of the Hong Triad?”
General Mei Jin withdrew his gaze from the map and turned around to ask.
The Black Dragon Army of the Hong Sect had taken down four cities in one day and was approaching Ulanqab.
Fortunately, Ogishi Ryunosuke was not bad and managed to stop the Hong Sect's momentum.
However, the current situation had changed.
The two divisions of the Hong Sect had split up to Xinghe County to stop the Japanese army.
It seemed like they were going to fight a tough battle.
It was similar to attacking reinforcements from a siege point, leaving Ulanqab's Weian Ryuunosuke alone.
However, could two divisions stop the advance of the Imperial Japanese Army?
Even though the Hong Triad had 20,000 soldiers and tanks, the Japanese Empire's division was not weak either.
Xiaoye's division had already left, and the other division would be there tomorrow.
A division of the Guandong Army had also set out from Rehe.
The Hong Sect only had three divisions and 60,000 men. How could they stop the four divisions?
He was not looking down on the Freemasons.
The four divisions had a few hundred cannons.
The number of people reached 100,000.
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"Xiaoye Regiment has not reached the designated position.”
"Instead, they were ambushed by the Freemasons. They mobilized dozens of tanks and destroyed the artillery regiment!”
"We lost 40 vehicles, 64 Type 105 Field Artillery Cannons, 21 Type 92 Infantry Cannons, and over 5,000 casualties.”
The chief of staff said in a low voice.
He was also shocked by this result.
The battle had not even officially started, and they had already suffered such a huge loss.
"What?"
Hearing this.
General Mei Jin's eyes widened.
He was shocked by this result.
This information was a little too much.
Why did they lose so much before they even reached the place?
It was equivalent to losing five battalions, and the heavy firepower of an entire regiment was completely crippled.
What else was there to fight?
"After the battle, Major General Xiao Ye found out that the Hong Triad might have been on the grassland after midnight.”
"They dug a deep pit, and the tanks are hidden inside.”
"Otherwise, the reconnaissance plane would have discovered it long ago.”
The chief of staff's voice was bitter. This was a huge loss. The heavy firepower of an entire division had been completely crippled, leaving only light weapons.
Light weapons, on the other hand, were like fire sticks to the Black Dragon Army.
"Deep pit…The tank is hiding in the deep pit?”
"Even if the tank is hiding in the deep pit, it's impossible for such a big pit not to be discovered, right?”
General Mei Jin frowned and voiced out the doubts in his heart.
"They've all disguised themselves. They look exactly like the grass on the prairie.”
Chief of Staff Nakano Jiro shook his head and smiled bitterly.""Even if we get close, we won't be discovered if we don't step on it.”
"You can do this?"
When General Mei Jin heard this, he was stunned and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.
The Hong Triad's disguise was way too good.
The reconnaissance plane couldn't find it, and neither could the human eye.
How did they do it?
The tank hid in the deep pit and came out at the critical moment. Who came up with this method?
Wouldn't that mean that he would have to pay attention to the Hong Triad's ambush in the future?
Thinking of this…
General Mei Jin's expression turned serious.
The original plan was that four divisions would be enough to take down three divisions of the Hong Sect. But now, it seemed like that was not going to happen.
The Hong Sect's fighting style was very unique and unexpected.
At that time, the Imperial Japanese Army would be at a disadvantage.
……
Just as General Mei Jin was deep in thought.
Nakano Jiro's voice rang out," Ono-kun, send a message now. Request for our air force's support to bombard the two divisions of the Hong Sect in Xinghe County."”
"I wonder what you mean, Commander?”
He asked carefully.
Ever since the invasion, the Japanese army had rarely suffered such a huge loss.
This time, it was completely unexpected.
Even he did not expect this.
"The Hong Sect is still a threat!"
"Their economic strength is very strong, but I didn't expect the Army to be so strong. Their style of play is a little out of the textbook.”
"With the Hong Sect's army in the province, it's a huge threat!”
"We must destroy the Freemasons!”
"The air force is far from enough."
General Mei Jin's eyes flashed with a cold light, but he also seemed to be deep in thought.
The participation of the Hong Triad in the war seemed to have changed the Empire's original plan.
If the Hong Triad was not stopped, the Empire's army would be defeated.
To stop it, they needed to send a large number of troops.
In this way, the situation in the empire's headquarters changed.
The original plan of annexing Nanyang would likely gradually lean towards the Republic of China.
If the Freemasons were destroyed, everything would be fine.
If the Hong Triad could hold on, the situation would change.
This increased the difficulty of the empire's plan. Perhaps, the empire's headquarters would gather all their forces and enter the Republic of China to fight for resources.
At that time, it was very likely that the dynasty would release its shackles.
However-
This was just a guess in his heart.
As for the specifics, who knew?
"Send my order, 30 bomber planes, take off immediately and bomb the Hongmen's camp in Xinghe County.”
"Send my order, Cha Province will be listed as a battle. Shinozuka Yoshio's division will begin to reorganize and go to Cha Province with the Zhuozhou division to participate in the battle. Shinozuka Yoshio will be the commander of this battle.”
He added another two divisions.
With so many soldiers gathered together, they had already reached the level of a large-scale battle.
At the same time, he also had a small plan. He wanted to use the Hong Sect's matter to influence the main camp's plan to deal with the Republic of China.
General Mei Jin didn't think that if the negotiation with Hua Nation collapsed, they would have to fight against Hua Nation on the sea.
It would be better to fight for the resources of the Republic of China, or to divide their forces in Southeast Asia.
That was the way out for the empire.
