Shengjing, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army!
The commander of the Kwantung Army, Honzhuang Shigeru, saw the battle report in front of him and his eyes widened. Disbelief filled his eyes.
After seeing his expression, Ishihara's smiling face stiffened, and his heart sank.
"Something terrible must have happened at the front line. Is it related to that mysterious Chinese people?”
He could not help but think to himself.
It wasn't just Ishihara, the other two also noticed that something was wrong.
Banheng Zhengshilang saw that everyone was silent and asked first, his tone very anxious.
"Sir, what exactly happened?”
Ben Zhuangfan sat down with his hands on the armrests, his other hand placing the frontline battle report on the table.
Ban Heng took it and looked at it.
"What is it? The 3rd and 15th Squadron were wiped out? The 2nd division was surrounded? How is this possible?"
After hearing his words, the other two could not help but be dumbfounded.
This was simply a fantasy.
According to Lu Hang's investigation report, Jinzhou's garrison was at most ten thousand people.
Even though the weapons of these people might be better, the 2nd division was the Empire's Class A Dragging Horse Division.
The two exploration teams and four regiments had a total of seven to eight thousand people. How could they be wiped out in less than half a day?
"The Chinese people lured four of our attack regiments to the frozen surface of the Liao River, and then used heavy artillery to cause the ice to collapse. Thousands of Empire soldiers were swallowed up, and the 2nd division was surrounded by these Chinese people.”
Ben Zhuang Fan's voice trembled as he spoke the contents of the battle report. His eyes were filled with pain.
This was the 2nd division, after all. He, as the commander of the Guandong Army, was to blame for such a heavy loss.
Ishihara's eyes flickered a few times before he regained his rationality and said,"Commander, the most important thing now is to rescue the 2nd division. If Lieutenant General Jiro Duomen dies or is captured, the responsibility is not something we can bear.”
He had come to Manchuria to make contributions.
If something happened to the 2nd division, even if they took down Manchuria, his efforts would be greatly reduced or even go to waste.
Not only him, but the other three people present were the same.
Honjo Shigeru's eyes narrowed." What Ishihara-kun said makes sense. Mobilize all forces to rescue the 2nd division immediately. Which troop is the closest to the Liao River?"”
"Commander, the 39th Brigade and the 4th Independent Garrison Brigade are the closest to us. However, I think we can send the ground troops to provide support and open a path for the 2nd Division to break through.”
Honzhuang Shigeru looked at Ishihara and said with a smile,"Immediately organize the Army Air Force. Bring the 2nd division out at all costs.”
Then, he looked at Banheng Zhengshilang and said,"Immediately head to Fengtian to command. Give up on attacking Tiger Mountain for now and attack the Liao River to reinforce the 2nd division.”
The current priority was the 2nd division. As for Jin Zhou, they would need to gather more troops.
With the 2nd division suffering such heavy losses, the country would not let this go. Jin Zhou would definitely be taken by the empire.
They firmly believed in this.
Perhaps the Chinese army was very powerful, but it was impossible for them to resist the entire Dongyang Kingdom with the strength of a single city.
No matter what, Japan was a genuine industrial country, the strongest country in Asia.
The First Air Wing of the Japanese Army Air Force was the only air force of the Japanese army in Manchuria. This air force also participated in the Northeast Incident.
The 1st Wing had the 1st Flying Team, 59th Flying Team, and the Heavy Bombardment Squadron. They had more than 200 fighter jets.
However, these fighter jets were distributed in the three northeastern provinces.
Currently, the closest one was the Flying Team 1 stationed around Fengtian.
It was equipped with more than 80 fighter jets of various models, most of which were double-wing A-Type IV fighter jets, and some were Nakajima Type 91 single-wing fighter jets that had just been in service for less than two years.
These fighter jets were still useful in bullying countries without an air force.
The best performance was the Nakajima Type 91 fighter jet.
However, when faced with Qin Yi's P-51D Mustang fighter jet, they were like brothers among brothers.
"Huanran, now that we have surrounded the Second Division, what do you think the Japanese will do next?”
Qin Yi looked at the sand table in front of him and asked Huang Baitao, who was standing at the side.
Huang Baitao looked at the sand table and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said,"If it were me, I would definitely send a plane to rescue them as soon as possible. This is the fastest and most effective way."”
"However, I have already assigned most of the anti-air weapons to the field troops. Perhaps they can be of some use.”
"It's a pity that we don't have a plane. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so passive.”
Qin Yi glanced at him who was sighing and smiled.""Who said we don't have a plane? Not only do we have it, but it's also the most advanced in the world.”
Huang Baitao looked at Qin Yi in surprise and asked,""Commander, could it be that Zhang Shao Shuai's Air Force has defected to you?”
Qin Yi shook his head and said," Of course not. Just you wait and see. The sky is ours. We can't allow the Japanese to be presumptuous."”
