Yanagi Changzhi no longer cared about how the tanks of the Tiger Ben crossed the Yangtze River. He hurriedly said to Hatan Shigeichi: "Captain! The big thing is not good, the Imperial Army Tank Brigade is over!"

"We did not carry war defense artillery this time, so it is difficult to deal with the Chinese army's tanks!

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, we should turn in immediately and then follow up, right?"

Hatan Shigeichi said in a deep voice: "Yaoshengjun, have you ever thought about the consequences of the Chinese army's Tiger Ben regiment traveling through the water and returning to Hunan from the jurisdiction of my Hatan Detachment?"

"this……"

Liu Sheng Changzhi was speechless for a while.

Hatan Shigeichi said again: "At this point, we have no choice but to fight to the death!"

Yanagi Nagaji said: "Since that is the case, will we immediately report this matter to Commander Okamura Nishiji and ask him for tactical guidance?"

Hatan Shigeichi knew that even if he asked for tactical guidance, it might not be too late for reinforcements. But now, he could only do so. He nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Yanagi Changzhi did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately turned around and left.

...

The other side.

In order to support the Hu Ben Regiment, the 9th War Zone invested a large amount of troops and launched a fierce attack on the Xianning area.

Naturally, the Japanese army could not have allowed the 9th War Zone to succeed, and also invested a large amount of troops.

The war continued from day to night, almost spreading to most of Xianning.

In order to find the traces of the Hu Ben Regiment, while Okamura Yasuji was fighting fiercely with the 9th War Zone, he also invested a large number of troops to search and suppress Xianning and even the surrounding areas.

The reconnaissance plane of the 1st Aviation Flight Regiment did not stop for a moment and searched from the air.

However, nothing was found.

The Tiger Group seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Xianning City.

The 11th Army Temporary Command.

Just now, Okamura Yasuji was severely criticized by Jinling for his unfavorable combat.

The old Japanese angrily angered and directly turned the table in his command room.

"The Chinese Army's Tiger Ben's harassment against the Imperial Army has never stopped for a moment, but you have been unable to find the Tiger Ben's trace for a long time!"

"What a bunch of useless waste!"

All the senior Japanese officials hung their heads, fearing that they would cause trouble.

After a moment, Chief of Staff Take Fujiwara thought for a while and said, "Commander, could it be that we were wrong from the beginning, and the Tiger Ben no longer existed in Xianning?

The harassment of these small troops was just Yang Jing deliberately concealed his eyes and ears?"

"Impossible!" Okamura Yasuji said: "According to the information provided by the Special High School Course, the Tiger Group must be in Xianning!

Could it be that Yang Jing dares to lie about military affairs again and again?"

The reason why this old Japanese is so sure is that the Special High School Class has installed a large number of spies in the 9th War Zone of the National Army, and even the secret rooms of the 9th War Zone have spies from the Special High School Class.

Therefore, the telegram Yang Jing sent to the 9th War Zone was almost completely blocked and was intercepted by the Japanese.

If it were just a telegram, the old Japanese might have hesitated, but the key problem is that the Tiger Ben has sent at least five telegrams and constantly reported their combat plans.

Okamura Yasuji said again: "And? In addition to Xianning area, Wuning, Xiushui and other places around it have also issued martial law orders!

There are thousands of people in the Tiger Group? It is absolutely impossible to slip under the noses of the Imperial Army quietly.”

The commander of the 13th Division, Ribe Ogisu, suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "Commander? Could this Tiger Ben have not crossed the Yangtze River at all?"

The commander of the 106th Division, Junroro Matsuura, looked dark and retorted: "Oitaki? If the Chinese Tiger Corps did not cross the Yangtze River? What is the explanation for the incident in Nayangxin County?"

Ogisu Libing was not upset and said, "Will it be that the Chinese army Tiger Ben Group shot with a fake shot, and after hitting Yangxin, they crossed the river north again?"

Junroro Matsuura said: "This is even more impossible! After Yangxin County was captured, the naval fleet immediately blocked the Yangtze River waterway.

So? The Chinese Army Tiger Ben Group has absolutely no time and space to cross the river to the north!"

"Okay!" Okamura Yanji raised his hand to stop the two of them's arguments and said: "If the Chinese Army Tiger Ben marched during the day, it would never be possible to escape the search of the Imperial Army reconnaissance planes.

Therefore, the cunning Chinese army Tiger Group should have hid in a remote corner."

After saying this, Okamura Yanji had a gloomy face? His sharp eyes were as sharp as a knife, one by one from everyone present: "Everyone, the mountains and forests in Xianning? Have you all searched?"

Everyone shook their heads together.

The Xianning area has a total of 340,000 square kilometers, and the territory is full of mountains and forests? They have to deal with the strong attack of the 9th War Zone.

It is impossible to put all troops into search, and we can only strengthen security on key roads in the past.

Therefore? In just less than a day? How could it be possible to search the entire Xianning?

"That's right!" Okamura Yasuji said decisively: "This damn Tiger Ben Group? It must be in a certain forest in Xianning.

Now night has come, and soon this Tiger Group will appear!

Order all departments to strengthen their vigilance, especially the blockade of major traffic arteries!

No one should go to bed until the Hu Ben Group is discovered!”

"Hayi!"

The Japanese officers all bowed their heads.

At this moment, a communications officer on duty suddenly rushed in from outside: "Report, the Hotan Detachment is urgent!"

"Hata Detachment?" Okamura Yasuji said: "My!"

"Hayi!" The communications staff member paused and said: "General Hatan Shigeichi said that Xiushuitian Fortress was attacked by the Chinese Army's Tiger Ben regiment at night. The Chinese Army invested a large number of tanks and tanks, and its firepower was extremely fierce!

The situation in the Imperial Army is extremely critical. Please ask the Commander to provide tactical guidance immediately!"

Which kind of slaps in the face or is it a joke?

Just now, Okamura Yanji said very confidently that the Tiger Ben must be in Xianning.

However, this telegram ruthlessly overturned all his previous speculations and arrangements.

Okamura Yanji was furious and said, "Baga! How could this damn Tiger Ben Group suddenly appear in Xiushui? What are the rice buckets in the Special High School class for?

Also, how did they escape the imperial army's eyeliner and reconnaissance?"

Chief of Staff Major General Fujiwara comforted him: "Commander, now is not the time to hold him accountable.

With the combat effectiveness of the Hatan Detachment, it is almost impossible to block the Tiger Ben Group.

So, you have to make arrangements early!

If the Hu Ben Group crosses Xiushui and returns to Hunan smoothly, it would be too late!"

Okamura Yasuki nodded with consent and asked, "Whose troops are ambushing the Fushida Fortress?"

Junroro Matsuura said: "Commander, the 145th Infantry Regiment of the Huyi Infantry Regiment is responsible for the search and suppression of the southeast of Xianning. It is currently about 20 kilometers away from Hirata Fortress!"
