2nd division.
2nd division major general, Jiro Duomen.
Sitting in the jeep, he held the handle of the knife with both hands and closed his eyes. His left middle finger kept tapping the back of his right hand.
The order for the 2nd division was to station 10 kilometers outside Fengtian City and set up a base. They would wait for the 7th division to surround Fengtian City from the Bangzi Peninsula before launching an attack.
However, in Jiro's opinion, this was completely unnecessary.
The 2nd division had been stationed in the Four Eastern Provinces for a period of time.
He had a clear understanding of the strength of the Northeast Army.
He didn't think that the Northeast Army was a match for his 2nd division.
Moreover, he wasn't a local, and his troops were just a bunch of trash.
The 2nd division was the trump card division, their combat strength was strong, and they were one of the best among all the divisions of the Guizi.
Therefore, Jiro Duomen was thinking about whether he should directly attack Fengtian City and take it down so that the 7th division would not share the credit with him.
"How far is it from Fengtian?"
"Sir Major General, we are still 25 kilometers away from Fengtian City.”
The advisor beside him immediately said in a low voice.
"25 kilometers!"
Jiro Tamen was still struggling to decide if he should attack. If he failed, he might have to commit suicide, but if he succeeded, he might be able to take another step forward.
At this moment, an advisor caught up with Jiro Tamen."Regiment Commander, the Special Higher Police has sent a message. Within Fengtian City, Tang Hanming's two divisions are already heading towards our army.”
"Oh?"
Jiro's eyes widened. What a stupid decision!"
In Jiro's opinion, if Tang Hanming ordered his troops to defend the city, it would indeed be a thorny problem for him.
But now, Tang Hanming actually took the initiative to send his troops out to fight him in the wild. In Jiro Duomen's opinion, this was undoubtedly courting death.
"Inform the 4th Regiment to send people to scout Tang Hanming's troops. Inform the 16th Regiment and 29th Regiment to prepare for battle!”
"Ha Yi!"
The 2nd division only had 3 regiments left.
However, Jiro Takato felt that this was enough.
However, at this moment, another staff officer rushed to the front of Jiro's carriage and said,""Major General, there's an urgent message from the main camp!”
After saying that, he handed over the telegram in his hand.
The content of the base camp's telegram was very simple. It was to let Jiro Domon retreat quickly to Liaoyang.
"Nani?"
Jiro Tatamon frowned.
This telegram from the headquarters was a little strange. Why did they ask him to retreat to Liaoyang immediately?
It must be known that he had set out from Liaoyang to attack Fengtian under the command of the headquarters.
"What happened?"
The command from the headquarters only had a few words, which was to let Jiro Tamen retreat. There was no reason at all.
"Regiment Commander, we?"
"Stop the troops and ask the headquarters what happened.”
"Ha Yi!"
At this moment, the distance between the 12th division and the 2nd division was getting closer and closer.
The distance between the two sides was less than ten kilometers.
At this distance, the reconnaissance teams on both sides had already found each other's location.
"Have the 4th Regiment set up a defensive position and prepare to face the enemy.”
Jiro said calmly.
"The 16th Regiment will cover the 4th Regiment from the flank.”
"Ha Yi!"
The staff officer immediately passed down the order.
At this time, the second telegram from the headquarters was finally delivered to Jiro Duomen.
"Nani?"
The main camp was worried that Jiro Duomen would waste time, so they insisted on going their own way.
He immediately told Jiro Duomen that there was a change in the 7th division and that this was an order from the Heavenly Locust Army.
"Something happened to the 7th division?"
Jiro Tamato suddenly remembered that when he had contacted the 30th regiment under the 2nd division, there had been no response.
He had thought that the emergency radio was not on, but now it seemed that something might have gone wrong with the 30th Regiment.
"Reporting, the 4th regiment has reported that they have exchanged fire with the enemy vanguard.”
"Nani."
Jiro Duomen did not expect the enemy to exchange fire with Tang Hanming's troops so quickly.
His expression changed as he looked at the telegram in his hand.
"Report to the base camp, the 2nd division has engaged the enemy. Requesting tactical guidance to cover the retreat!”
"Ha Yi!"
At the same time, Jiro Tado began to think of a countermeasure.
"Can the 4th Regiment withdraw from the battle now?”
"We don't know for now. The 4th regiment reported that the enemy's firepower is fierce, requesting artillery support.”
"Damn it!"
Jiro's heart sank.
Tang Hanming's troops had already begun to attack.
If the 4th Regiment were to retreat at this time, the 4th Regiment would be able to retreat.
Tang Hanming's troops would definitely chase after them from behind. If an accident happened during the retreat, the retreat would turn into a defeat, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
"We can't retreat now!"
Jiro made up his mind.
"Inform the 4th Regiment to continue to hold their position. 16th Regiment, provide support to the 4th Regiment from the flanks. Inform the 29th Regiment to build a second line of defense.”
"Ha Yi!"
Jiro Takato looked at the sky. If they retreated now, they might be bitten to death by Tang Hanming's troops.
It would be easier to hold on until nightfall and retreat under the cover of darkness.
Furthermore, Jiro was confident that he could last until nightfall.
