Chapter 166: The Imperial Army Gets Slapped in the Face

Qian Dajun, Dai Chunfeng, Tang Zong, Lin Wei, and others around Principal Chang.

Were also intensely discussing Principal Chang's plan.

The 22nd Group Army, having achieved such great results in Jin Province, as well as the 23rd Group Army that marched out of Chuan.

And the two armies of Yang Sen and Guo Rudong, these Sichuan Army forces totaling 15 Divisions.

The number of Sichuan Army troops is about 200,000.

If we follow the idea of Liu Dashuai, the two Sichuan Army Group Armies should be used in a concentrated manner.

"Your... arrange for someone immediately to be responsible for guiding them."

"It only took a very short time, less than three months, to occupy the Pingjin Region."

"Li Jiayu's 47th Army, which belongs to the 22nd Group Army's establishment, is currently here."

The Songhu battle situation has once again fallen into a predicament; his Central Breakthrough tactic has failed.

Now, one Division of the Pingjin Area Army has been completely annihilated by the Sichuan Army.

"Baka!!"

"This beautiful lady, please speak."

Dai Chunfeng walked out at this moment, "Principal, according to the Special Service Corps' investigation."

However, the Imperial Army cannot afford to fall out with Europe right now.

"Mr. Hirata, I am a reporter for The Times, Emma Watson!"

Then transfer them to the Pudong direction of the 3rd War Zone; in any case, the 3rd War Zone is currently lacking troops.

"This is all fake; this is a slander against my Imperial Army."

Principal Chang was also exhausted; after the people from the Attendant Office withdrew, he seized the time to take a nap himself.

With Dai Chunfeng's words, Principal Chang laughed heartily: "Do it!"

After Terauchi Hisaichi vented, his Adjutant entered the office.

Speaking of this, Qian Dajun came to the map.

This was a female reporter, with blonde hair and blue eyes, a tall figure, and a well-fitted small suit that outlined her charming curves.

Coupled with the failure of the frontline troops' offensive, Matsui Iwane's mood was already bad.

However, Ito Masayoshi talked back to Matsui Iwane, absolutely unwilling to continue moving forward.

"Baka!!"

After having this plan, Principal Chang could immediately send a telegram to the Camp Director in Hankou.

"Some foreign media in the Pingjin Region, they came to our headquarters."

Can the Imperial Army hold on?

This left a big question mark in Matsui Iwane's heart regarding the so-called Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Hirata Saburo said in his broken English.

Terauchi Hisaichi was so angry that his expression was ferocious, like a giant beast.

On the Songhu Battlefield.

Seeing his Adjutant say this, Terauchi Hisaichi's face turned even darker.

The Imperial Army has encountered stubborn resistance in both Songhu and Jin Province.

The news of the Sichuan Army's great victory also reached the Songhu Region.

Use the 2nd Route Army separately.

Although the fighting on the Songhu Battlefield is very arduous, they have not had a single Division-level army annihilated.

"After he sees it, he will definitely listen to the Central Government."

At the same time, in Songhu and Jinling, and even other important cities across the country.

After discussing for a long time, the first to speak was Qian Dajun: "Principal."

Currently resting in Anhui Province, committing the 23rd Group Army to the 3rd War Zone could also reduce some pressure on the defenders.

Principal Chang is certainly unwilling; previously, Principal Chang intended to designate two war zones for the Sichuan Army.

"My friends!"

Regarding the 23rd Group Army, Tang Zong and Lin Wei provided a plan to transfer the 23rd Group Army out of the 7th War Zone.

The Japanese diplomat in the Pingjin Region, Hirata Saburo, as a representative, met with the European media.

The war in Songhu has been going on for nearly three months, and that old devil Matsui Iwane has also lost quite a bit of weight.

Upon learning that the 109th Division was annihilated by the Sichuan Army's 22nd Group Army, and Yamashita Tomoyuki's Garrison Mixed Brigade was routed.

"Got some photos!"

It was his first time seeing such a moving Western woman.

"Commander!"

If not for considering the other party's nationality, he would have wanted to tell his soldiers to kidnap her.

"Conversely, the Republic of China Army is being beaten by our Imperial Army until they are scurrying away, fleeing south all the way."

If not for Yamashita Tomoyuki's quick reaction, his life would have been lost at Niangziguan in Jin Province.

"They intend to cross the river and head north."

After being busy all night.

The furious Terauchi Hisaichi drew his Command Sword and slashed wildly in his office.

"However, it is a pity, Mr. Hirata, I have obtained them from the Ta Kung Pao reporter embedded with the Sichuan Army."

In Pingjin, Terauchi Hisaichi serves as the Commander of the Pingjin Area Army.

"This man Li Jiayu listens to the Central Government; you should personally give Jiang Mingsan the written order."

This joyful scene was just like the Lunar New Year.

Following the order issued by Terauchi Hisaichi, his Adjutant immediately took action.

Among them, the 101st Regiment suffered particularly heavy casualties; from the Regiment Commander down to the squad leaders, the entire regiment's officers had been replaced once.

The confident Principal immediately began to write a personal directive of his own.

"Regarding the news published in the newspaper by the Nanjing Command this morning, reporting that one of our Imperial Army divisions was completely annihilated."

The next day!

The common people of Jincheng, while eating breakfast, discovered the children selling newspapers.

Many of the public also learned once again that the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army had wiped out a division of the devils in Jin Province.

The common people scrambled to buy the newspapers.

Thinking back to the entire Far East Continent, the Empire wanted to swallow this elephant.

"Our Imperial Army does not have a single division annihilated by the Sichuan Army at all."

This group of Europe media is truly damn cheap.

Today the common people were happy; everyone cheered loudly and set off firecrackers.

"Do these media want to confirm whether our Imperial Army really lost a division in Jin Province last night?"

Have the diplomatic personnel of the Pingjin Area Army quickly contact the Europe media to clarify the facts!

But, the 22nd Group Army in Jin Province only had three divisions, and they were not even at full strength yet.

At this moment, Hirata Saburo interrupted the statement of Emma Watson.

"Then we shall continue to divide and disintegrate the Sichuan Army."

As for outside the office, the little devils also lowered their heads.

Then she deliberately held up a huge photograph and grinned, "Mr. Hirata, as far as I know."

Seeing this well-prepared Western woman take out one photograph after another, slapping the face of the Imperial Army until it was swollen.

Hirata Saburo saw this beautiful Western woman raise her hand, and his eyes went straight.

"You directly order the Director of Changan Garrison Headquarters Jiang Mingsan to immediately telegraph an order to Li Jiayu."

After the fighting is over, the 23rd Group Army can also be slowly transferred to further divide the Sichuan Army units.

Once again shouting that the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army achieved a great victory in Jin Province, annihilating the devil 109th Division.

The scorching war situation made Matsui Iwane very haggard, and on top of that, he had a lung disease.

"The Sichuan Army... how could this beggar-like force be the opponent of the Imperial Army."

He was also greatly shocked.

"This is all false propaganda by the Nanjing Command; this is their psychological warfare."

After Matsui Iwane learned that a division of the Pingjin Area Army had been wiped out by the Sichuan Army.

"Therefore, regarding the matter of the 109th Division being annihilated, this is all slander."

His finger pointed toward Tongguan: "Principal, according to the intelligence from the Special Service Corps."

The 22nd Group Army units are to be divided, and what remains will be the direct line units of Liu Dashuai, the 23rd Group Army.

"Since the Sichuan Army is divided into two group armies for combat, it is still unfavorable to the Central Government."

In recent days, Matsui Iwane has been pained miserably.

"This is the 69th Regiment's Regiment Commander..."

"This is all fake, this is slander!"

Wouldn't that turn the world upside down!

Have the Camp Director in Hankou take his personal directive to change the original command system of the Sichuan Army and transfer them to the 3rd War Zone.

Hirata Saburo's face turned black: "Baka!"

This has already achieved such an important result; if the entire group army were to join forces.

"As you all know, since the start of the war, our Imperial Army has advanced from Lugou Bridge."

The devils on the Songhu Battlefield were stunned; how did these Imperial Warriors in Jin Province become so unable to take a beating?!

Last time a brigade-level Detachment was annihilated, and now an entire division is gone.

Because the 101st Division fought a bloody battle at Wengzaobang, two-thirds of the entire division were casualties.

After Hirata Saburo finished speaking, a United States reporter raised their hand.

"Immediately enter the 1st War Zone."

After learning the casualty report of the 101st Division, Matsui Iwane had no choice but to revoke the previous order.

Added to the 20th Army and 43rd Army that fought bloody battles in Songhu, these two Sichuan Army units suffered relatively heavy losses.

"The 109th Division had Yamaoka Shigeatsu serving as the Division Commander, and this photo is the scene of Yamaoka Shigeatsu's command post being hit by artillery fire."

The exasperated Hirata Saburo cursed a few times and then left the podium.

Saying this, Emma Watson released a portion of the photos she had prepared.

"This is Yamaoka Shigeatsu's Command Sword, and these are the Command Swords of the two Brigade Commanders of the 31st Brigade and the 118th Brigade."

"As for your claim that the 109th Division was annihilated by the Sichuan Army, this is a piece of false news."

After the 101st Division crossed Wengzaobang, Matsui Iwane strictly ordered Ito Masayoshi to continue pushing forward.

Upon hearing this, the Principal frowned slightly: "Will this work?"

Now seeing the combat failure of the Pingjin Area Army, his mood was even worse.

A division being annihilated by the Sichuan Army is a disgrace to the Pingjin Area Army and also an insult to the Imperial Army.

A group of Europe media shouted: "Oh... my god!"

Everyone saw this reaction from Hirata Saburo and knew that the little devils' faces had been slapped until they rang out.
