Chapter 254: Blossoming from the Center

Tang returned to the command post.

Everyone also asked him a few questions with concern.

Tang indicated that he was fine and continued to analyze the battle situation.

At the 145th Division command post.

Lao Rao also received the report; the defensive line of the Niu Yuzhai Regiment had now completely stabilized.

The Sichuan Army soldiers used Hand Grenades and Light and Heavy Machine Gun fire to suppress the little devils' offensive.

This greatly reduced the pressure on the 145th Division and the 146th Division.

"Baka!"

Originally, they were lying in ambush on the road in the direction of Fengjing, preparing to strike a Brigade Supply Troops of the devil's 18th Division.

"At the same time, the Ushijima Sadao Division will dispatch a portion of its forces to outflank the rear of the Sichuan Army."

"If it's any further than this, I'm worried something might go wrong?"

The two old devils looked at each other and smiled!

"Report the situation here to the Commander."

"Currently, the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment have locked onto four of the opponent's divisions."

This is impossible!

As long as the Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army is truly wiped out.

"Judging from the situation of the Imperial Army engaging the Sichuan Army."

"In this way, my 10th Army will have completely crushed the Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army without any effort."

Hearing the Communications Soldier finish, Yang Guozhen and Chen Wanren were both stunned.

Tani Hisao was overjoyed and smiled hideously: "Communications Soldier."

"Everyone, speak your mind!"

The Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army.

"As long as we hold our ground, wait for reinforcements, and hold onto the Sichuan Army tightly."

Nowadays, the two sides are locked in a fierce struggle, and the two divisions of the Sichuan Army are still able to hold on.

They designed the destruction of the Imperial Army's artillery, causing the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment to fall into a predicament.

However, after waiting for a long time, no devil soldiers appeared.

To create conditions for encirclement for the 10th Army and annihilate the nearby Sichuan Army.

Why did these little devils suddenly turn around and head toward Jinshan County for no reason?!

Damn it!

Regarding Tani Hisao's face-saving behavior, Kunisaki Noboru continued to analyze: "No..."

After Tani Hisao finished listening, he understood!

The Sichuan Army units must have assembled the majority of their forces to ambush their own Supply Troops.

Yanagawa Heisuke called over his Adjutant: "Draft a telegram."

"Then, blossom from the center and wipe out the four divisions of the Sichuan Army in one fell swoop."

This formidable combat power made the group of old devils re-evaluate the Sichuan Army.

Ushijima Sadao's 18th Division is currently marching toward the strategic location of Fengjing.

"This Sichuan Army unit is just like rats, hiding here and there."

"Yosh!"

Upon hearing this, Yanagawa Heisuke grinned: "Yosh!"

"Request the Commander to dispatch reinforcements to encircle the Sichuan Army."

Could it be that they learned of the Sichuan Army's ambush circle and now dare not advance?!

The 114th Division is to march south and sweep away the Sichuan Army entrenched there.

"Yosh!"

"Hai!" Yanagawa Heisuke's Adjutant nodded, then turned and left.

Soon, Tani Hisao's telegram was received.

Tanabe Moritake, who was on the side, looked at Yanagawa Heisuke after reading it: "Your Excellency Commander."

Now that they have learned the Commander's latest order.

As long as his 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment can hold down the Sichuan Army.

"Gentlemen, our artillery position has been destroyed."

"I was thinking the same thing!"

"Now that we no longer have the artillery advantage, how do we break the current predicament?"

"Should we send our scouts out a bit further?!"

Hearing this, Tani Hisao's eyes lit up as he looked at Kunisaki Noboru, "Kunisaki-kun, continue."

The little devils' offensive became increasingly fierce, following the requirements of Adjutant Yu.

These little devils have also come ashore; according to their marching speed, they should have arrived by now, right?

Yang Guozhen spoke first: "Lao Chen!"

Their combat mission had already been assigned while they were on the Aircraft Carrier.

6th Division command post!

Tani Hisao and Kunisaki Noboru also did not expect this.

And just as Chen Wanren and Yang Guozhen were discussing, a Communications Soldier arrived at the command post.

"The General Headquarters' plan is a quick battle to force a quick decision; my 10th Army intends to outflank and move north to Jinling."

They felt that this was a very good opportunity.

But, the Sichuan Army on the opposite side actually did not follow the martial code.

"Tani Hisao-kun, you are wrong."

If the little devils really learned that the Sichuan Army had set an ambush, they would certainly rush up to fight the Sichuan Army to the death.

"Report the status of my 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment."

"My 6th Division is known as the strongest division of the Imperial Army."

Furthermore, two Independent Brigades of the Sichuan Army appeared in the rear of the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment.

Yang Guozhen and Chen Wanren were both feeling strange as well.

If they had 75 mm Artillery in their hands, this battle would have ended long ago.

"I think Tani Hisao's idea is feasible."

He also dispatched a portion of his troops to head in the direction of Jinshan County.

Now the casualties of the troops were increasing, but the little devils' spirits were getting more and more vigorous the more they fought.

Tani Hisao looked at the little devil officers inside the command post.

"We should ask for reinforcements from General Yanagawa Heisuke."

"Then we must crush the main force of the Sichuan Army units."

On the original foundation, they held out for another hour and a half.

"Hai!" Kunisaki Noboru nodded: "According to intelligence from the Imperial Special Higher Police."

"At least four divisions, or five divisions of the Sichuan Army's strength, have gathered in this vicinity."

Upon hearing this, Tani Hisao hurriedly waved his hand: "No!"

This idea of theirs had just emerged, but was quickly suppressed again.

The battle had already entered a white-hot state.

"Division Commander Yang, Division Commander Chen, have the scouts reported back?"

"Our scouts have already been sent out far enough."

"Right now, the Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army has exposed its main force, which is just right for realizing the plan of a quick battle to force a quick decision."

"Asking the Commander for reinforcements now, isn't that a slap in the face!"

Suematsu Shigaharu's 114th Division was now preparing to move south, heading in the direction of Jiaxing.

"Report!"

The Sichuan Army before their eyes!

Was actually still able to hold their ground.

"The Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army possesses five divisions and two Independent Brigades in the Seventh War Zone."

In the entire Seventh War Zone, the Sichuan Army 23rd Group Army was nothing but an empty shell.

"Order the Suematsu Shigaharu Division to immediately rush toward the direction of Jinshan County."

"I think..."

"They don't dare to face my Imperial Army in a head-on battle at all."

The 145th Division and 146th Division had already been fighting for an extra half hour now.

"As long as we wipe them out, who else in the Taihu Region can block the pace of the Imperial Army."

Kunisaki Noboru spoke first: "Tani Hisao-kun."

They were going to support the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment.

The remaining two divisions, the 147th Division and 148th Division.

"Tell the two Division Commanders that they must be very attentive."

"Hai..." Inside the command post, the little devil Communications Soldier nodded heavily.

After all, the 10th Army was currently very eager for military merit.

"This battle cannot be underestimated."

After receiving the order from Yanagawa Heisuke.

Yanagawa Heisuke was at Jinshanwei.

At the same time!

"Right now my 6th Division is pinning down four of the opponent's divisions."

Chen Wanren used the gun in his hand to nudge the brim of his hat.

This was also supreme military merit for the 10th Army.

Suematsu Shigaharu hurriedly gave the order for the entire division to immediately move north along the road line.

This was still under the condition that the little devils' 75 mm Artillery had been destroyed.

"The enemy 18th Division suddenly turned around while marching and is now heading toward Jinshan County."

The Sichuan Army was confronting the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment head-on.

"Contact Commander Yanagawa Heisuke immediately."

What on earth is going on?!

Yang Guozhen and Chen Wanren frowned tightly.

Why did this group of little devils run away?
