Japanese Joint Command.

The two old Japanese devils, Rensuke Isotani and Kenji Doihara, suddenly weakened a lot when they learned that the firepower of the offensive troops had suddenly weakened, and for some reason, the originally airtight encirclement also separated a gap.

Suddenly full of doubts!

At this moment, a call from the frontier's position came over.

And through the report on the other end of the phone, the two old Japanese finally understood all this.

Kenji Doihara said: "Isotani, now the Chinese army divides its troops to attack our frontier positions, so that the forces that besiege our command have weakened a lot, which is the best time for us to break through!

If we wait for the Imperial Army of the Chinese Army to defeat the frontier positions, we want to retreat again, it will be too late!"

At this point, Isotani Ryosuke also gave in.

The higher the person is, the more he cherishes his life, and the old devil Isotani Ryosuke is no exception.

However, he still said with some concern: "Mr. Doihara, I don't want to order a retreat!

But we will withdraw now, and the Taierzhuang defending enemies can return to Xuzhou!

If the surprise attack of the Imperial Army Division fails, how should we explain to the Commander and to His Majesty the Emperor?"

Kenji Doihara said: "Isotani, the front-line positions are in a hurry at this time. It is estimated that it will be occupied by the Chinese army in no time!

The 11th Brigade stationed in the Huncheng District is north of Teng County and was stubbornly blocked by the elite Chinese troops. In a short period of time, it was impossible to come to support it!

Even though it is dawn now, our Imperial Army Air Force can take off!

But the problem is that with the close handover between the enemy and us, the aviation force is no longer able to provide us with firepower assistance!

Moreover, we have been here for so long and have gained enough time for the Imperial Army Division!

I believe that with the combat effectiveness of the First Division, I will be able to easily defeat the 68th Army of China and capture Xuzhou City!”

"If we persist, we can hold on for up to two hours."

"What can I do in two hours? There is no need for us to continue fighting these hateful Chinese people here!"

"Just like the old Chinese saying, the green mountains are left without worrying about burning firewood! Let's move in for a while, wait until we return to the rear for a little rest and restore some strength.

Let’s regroup and fight back, and it’s better to use today’s shame?”

After Kenji Doihara said that Colonel Sano Tadaoyi, the chief of staff of the 14th Division, and several other senior staff members, also spoke out to comfort him: "Yes! General Isotani, order the retreat quickly!"

Seeing that Risuke Isotani was still a little undecided, Kenji Doihara made a fuss and said, "Isotani, although my Japanese Imperial Army is not afraid of sacrifice, we cannot make unnecessary sacrifices, right?

Since you don’t want to transfer, then lead your 10th Division to continue to stick to it!”

After saying this, Kenji Doihara turned his head and looked at Tadao Sano on the side, and said with a stern expression: "Chief of Staff, gather the troops of our headquarters immediately! Prepare to break through!"

"yes!"

Tadao Yoshi Sano received the order with a loud bang.

The other Japanese staff officers of the 14th Division also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Japanese officers of the 10th Division all felt nervous.

When the 14th Division was there, they were still defeated.

If the 14th Division abandons them and breaks through alone, there is no need to think about it. In no time, they will be chopped up by the Chinese army that has swarmed in!

Isotani Ryosuke knew that although Kenji Doihara wanted to force the palace, if he insisted on sticking to it, he would definitely turn in alone.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, the old Japanese finally chose to compromise.

Afterwards, the two old Japanese discussed briefly and decided to abandon the car to protect the general and give up the part of the soldiers on the frontier positions.

Let it restrain China. The main force of the army and create opportunities for them to break through.

Androsuke Isotani and Kenji Doihara led the Japanese troops on the command headquarters to break out from the gap left by the 27th Division towards Teng Prefecture.

General Sun Fanglu did not tighten the gap when he saw the Japanese army breaking through.

Instead, according to Yang Jing's instructions, the gap widened a little bit.

After the main forces of the Japanese basically broke through, they began to attack the troops and cover the killing.

At this time, the Japanese were as anxious as a dog that was strayed, and as busy as a fish that was missing the net!

Just thinking about breaking through quickly and leaving this damn place!

He completely lost the fighting will of trapped beasts who still fought, and his morale was even more depressed.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers were killed by General Sun Fanglu, and the troops were killed everywhere, and the army was defeated!

The soldiers of the 27th Division chased all the way to the fortifications of the 2nd Division.

…………

Xuzhou.

The Fifth War Zone Command.

Since the Japanese Division attacked Lianyungang at night, General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng were woken up one after another, they have been studying and discussing strategies for defending the enemy in the command center.

However, for now, they no longer have any extra troops available, and they can only place their hopes on Liu Ziliang's 68th Army, which can withstand the attack of the Japanese Division.

As well as the Tiger Ben Regiment, the 2nd Army, the 52nd Army and other units, they were able to defeat the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Division in Taierzhuang.

We will send troops to help and resolve the crisis in Xuzhou!

Then, everyone fell into a long and anxious waiting.

Haven't sleep all night!

The only small episode in the middle is probably that they designed to ambush the Japanese spy troops hidden in Xuzhou.

At this time, the sky was already bright.

Including the staff officers in the entire command center, everyone was holding two big panda eyes and yawned twice from time to time.

It is obviously a sign of extreme sleepiness.

However, the two commanders and deputy commanders were waiting anxiously here, so they naturally did not dare to mention sleeping.

Therefore, we can only force ourselves to be energetic.

And at this moment, a communications officer sitting in the corner suddenly stood up with an excited look on his face: "Victory! Victory! Sir, we have won!"

When everyone heard this, they were all excited and their sleepiness was gone in an instant!

General Li Delin couldn't wait to ask: "Where did you win? Did Liu Ziliang's troops successfully defeat the Japanese Division?"

"No!" The communications officer had an uncontrollable surprise on his face. He first shook his head, and then continued: "Yes, Taierzhuang! The Hu Ben Regiment and the 2nd Army defeated the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Division in Taierzhuang!"

"What?"

Not only General Li Delin, but also General Bai Jiansheng and the rest of the command center almost all suspected that they had heard the wrong ears.

Because of the troops in Taierzhuang, they knew very well!

Except for Guan Zhidao's troops who went north to attack Teng County, the entire Taierzhuang area was only Yang Jing's Hu Ben Regiment and Sun Fanglu's 2nd Army.

The total force is less than 30,000.

However, the two Japanese troops were fighting against it!

Even if the 10th Division and the 14th Division suffered heavy casualties in previous battles, the total force would still not be less than 30,000 people.

In their opinion, it is already a miracle that Yang Jing and Sun Fanglu can withstand the Japanese attack!

As for victory, even with General Li Delin and General Bai Jiansheng's imagination, they would not dare to think so!

At least, they never thought that Yang Jing and other troops could defeat the Japanese army in such a short time.

On the contrary, they were even more willing to believe that it was Liu Ziliang's troops who successfully defeated the Japanese Division!

After all, as a surprise attack force, the First Division still has the opportunity to defeat it when its foundation is stable.

Therefore, General Li Delin had the question just now.

"Take the message over and let me see it!"

General Bai Jiansheng turned into two steps and came to the communications officer next to him. He couldn't wait to take the message from his hand and saw an uncontrollable excited expression on his face: "Okay! It's so great! Degong, this is indeed an urgent telegram sent by the Hu Ben Group from Taierzhuang.

The telegram said that under Yang Jing's instruction, Guan Zhidao personally led the 52nd Army to detour north overnight.

The 25th Division set up an ambush 30 miles north of Teng County to block the Japanese reinforcements from the Jining direction.

At the same time, the 2nd Division raided Teng County, forcing the Japanese army in Taierzhuang to divide the troops to reinforce. Then Sun Fanglu personally led the 2nd Army to set up an ambush halfway.

After annihilation of all 5,000 reinforcements from the enemy, he immediately took them down and cooperated with the Huben regiment to attack the Japanese army in Taierzhuang in front and back, and launched a fierce attack!

During this period, under the leadership of Zheng Guiting, the 2nd Division also recaptured Teng County in one fell swoop, wiped out more than 3,000 Japanese garrison troops, and seized a large amount of material supplies!

Then he immediately rushed south and set up an ambush to intercept the Japanese army in Taierzhuang!

In the end, with the sincere cooperation of the Tiger Regiment, the 2nd Army, the 52nd Army and other units, the attack was vigorously carried out regardless of casualties.

Finally defeated the Japanese army! More than 30,000 enemies were annihilated!

Only regrets are that although the 2nd Division successfully intercepted the Japanese breakout troops, it was the two old devils, including Akisuke Isotani, the division of the 10th Division, and Kenji Doihara, the division commander of the 14th Division, escaped in the chaos!"
