Chapter 257: This Is Simply Playing the Fool

6th Division Command Headquarters!

Tani Hisao received a report from his subordinates that the Imperial Army troops who had just captured the Sichuan Army positions had lost three thousand men.

This absolutely infuriated Tani Hisao!

Three thousand men—such a massive loss, it was approaching the size of an Infantry Regiment.

"Baka!"

An enraged Tani Hisao swung his Command Sword again.

He cleaved Kunisaki Noboru's chair right in two!

Kunisaki Noboru, standing to the side, felt he was a bit unlucky.

That chair of his had truly suffered an unprovoked disaster.

"The Principal has arrived!"

Simply a stupid pig.

During the retreat, they used a minefield to wipe out at least three thousand men from the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment.

"Immediately summon the military commanders and convene a military conference!"

Dai Chunfeng walked in quickly, "Principal!"

"This is truly a great victory."

A burst of harsh knocking on the door startled Lao Chang, who was sleeping, awake.

Now!

The 114th Division has been running for so long; hasn't that been a lot of wasted effort!?

This is simply playing the fool.

Jinshanwei!

Yanagawa Heisuke received this telegram.

After leaving a small number of troops to clear the mines, he took the main force with him.

The Independent 13th Brigade and the Independent 14th Brigade, following Yu Hua's instructions.

The 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment fought so fiercely on the Pingjin Battlefield.

Huge trees flew up horizontally, smashing many little devils to death.

The high-ranking generals in Jinling also gathered together.

They stated that the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment failed to pin down the Sichuan Army, allowing them to escape smoothly.

Upon hearing this, Lao Chang's heart felt like it was on a roller coaster, tossing and turning.

What a pity!

"I will immediately telegraph the Principal to request a commendation for the Sichuan Army!"

How did they become so stupid upon arriving in the Songhu Region?

His subordinates did not escape unscathed either; since he was at fault first, Lao Chen was unwilling to punish them further.

Shouting and yelling in the command headquarters, he directly knocked over tables, chairs, and stools.

Tell them to assemble immediately!

Otherwise, Dai Chunfeng would not have this expression.

Zhuxia Yiqing first encountered an explosive attack on a narrow, winding path.

After his Adjutant sobered up, he learned that Lao Chen had arrived at the Sichuan Army Command.

They lost one battalion and two companies.

Tell them to report the predicament the troops were facing to Tani Hisao immediately and request tactical guidance.

He prepared to cut off the Sichuan Army's retreat.

There was no other way!

After Lao Chang took his seat, everyone else sat down.

Convening a military conference late at night, everyone was whispering to each other.

"Yes!" Dai Chunfeng replied: "Principal, something has happened on the Songhu front."

On the road where the little devils were pursuing, they buried a large amount of explosives and landmines.

If they continued to pursue, his 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment would lose even more troops.

"Gentlemen!"

This is the good fortune of the Republic of China!

"A great victory..." Chen Cixiu sighed: "Gentlemen!"

One order told them to head to Jinshan County, and now it has changed again; proceed according to the original plan.

Colonel Zhuxia Yiqing called for a Communications Soldier.

"Wonderful!"

Before long!

The Sichuan Army's welcome banquet was a "Hongmen Banquet," and he had accidentally fallen for it.

Three divisions and two independent brigades have already successfully disengaged from the battlefield.

Proceed to the designated location to conduct a sweep!

After Suematsu Shigaharu and Ushijima Sadao received the Commander's order.

"A large force of little devils has been discovered in the Southern Yangtze River Defense Zone."

Shook off the little devils' pursuing troops!

"Hahaha!!"

It is estimated that by now, Zhuxia Yiqing has already been turned into a pile of minced meat.

Directly have the troops pass through a patch of woodland beside the road.

Although Zhuxia Yiqing looked down on the Sichuan Army, at this moment, explosives and landmines had been buried on the road ahead.

In this pursuit battle, his own Division had lost an entire Infantry Regiment.

Tani Hisao had originally thought he had only lost three thousand Imperial Warriors.

The 144th Division completely annihilated the Supply Troops of the 6th Division and the Kunisaki Detachment.

As soon as the 10th Army landed, they were struck by the Sichuan Army.

However, Colonel Zhuxia Yiqing of the 45th Regiment sent a Communications Soldier over.

Two companies went to scout the path and were directly blown to nothing.

Lao Chang looked at the crowd, "I just received a telegram from Huo Kuizhang."

"This is an urgent telegram from Army Commander Huo Kuizhang of the 54th Army."

"Yes!" Dai Chunfeng responded in agreement.

After Chen Cixiu finished speaking, he called for his Adjutant.

They encountered an attack by the Sichuan Army's Landmine Array.

At this time, he did not dare to order a pursuit again.

Two massive explosions!

They blew so hard that Zhuxia Yiqing's soul was almost scared out of his body.

This patch of woodland had been planted with even more explosives and landmines by Tian Zhongyi and Zhou Shaoxuan.

The leading Battalion of the 45th Regiment entered and was directly blown to nothing.

Arriving at the door of Principal Chang's office.

In Wuhu!

Seventh War Zone Command.

Yu Hua also sent a telegram back to Pan Wenhua, Yang Sen, Fu Chang, Fan Shaozeng, and others.

Chen Cixiu felt happy inside when he saw these battle results.

Aside from the counter-landing battle at Jinshanwei, this was another great victory achieved by the Sichuan Army.

Upon learning of the 45th Regiment's encounter!

Tani Hisao was even angrier now!

Lao Chang took one look!

His eyes widened, his tone urgent, "Yunong!"

"Dong, dong, dong..."

With a "creak!", the door to Lao Chang's office was pushed open.

After everyone had mostly arrived, Qian Dajun, who had followed Lao Chang, shouted out loud.

He was afraid that if he continued to move forward, the remaining troops in his hands would be blown to nothing.

After he finished venting.

What exactly was happening in Songhu.

"The telegram was sent an hour ago!"

Lao Chang called them here to discuss how to block the devils' offensive.

At the same time, the 145th Division and 146th Division, as well as the Independent 13th Brigade and 14th Brigade.

Fortunately, after arriving at the command post, Lao Chen did not lose his temper at his Adjutant.

"Baka!"

It was another pursuit battle; he had no time to clear mines.

Tani Hisao, filled with rage!

"Annihilated nearly ten thousand of the devils' Supply Troops."

Inside the command post!

The Sichuan Army generals were also very happy.

It was meaningless now!

Yanagawa Heisuke directly ordered the 18th Division and 114th Division to follow the previous plan.

That was cursing Tani Hisao for having a pig's brain.

Only then did he unwillingly order the frontline troops to stop.

The 45th Regiment, in the midst of pursuing the Sichuan Army troops.

Everyone was discussing... whether the little devils had already broken through our defensive lines on the Songhu Battlefield.

The 45th Regiment, following Tani Hisao's instructions, launched a pursuit against the Independent 13th Brigade and 14th Brigade.

Even Colonel Zhuxia Yiqing was almost crushed to death by a giant tree.

Suematsu Shigaharu and Ushijima Sadao had no choice but to honestly lead their troops and return the way they came!

At the same time!

Nanjing Command!

Dai Chunfeng held the telegram in his hand, looking hurried!

Seeing Dai Chunfeng's expression, everyone knew that something must have gone wrong on the front lines.

He did not dare to continue ordering a pursuit now!

Who knew if the Sichuan Army had buried more explosives and landmines on the roads ahead.

Continue to hold the position, waiting for changes in the international situation.

Dai Chunfeng knocked on the door.

Lao Chang rubbed his own shiny head, "Is that Yunong?!"

The main force of the Sichuan Army escaped, and the tens of thousands of troops of the 10th Army continued to close in on Jinshan County.

He shouted out loud; at this moment, Lao Chang wanted to know too much.

"Quick, quick, quick..."

Inside the conference room, the numerous generals also stood up.

No longer pursuing the Sichuan Army, at the same time, he also sent a telegram to the 10th Army headquarters.

They were all very unhappy as well!

It was clearly fine before, heading toward the predetermined location.

He then lost no time in waking up a series of officers and soldiers of the Central Army.

If it hadn't been for his Adjutant having sharp eyes and pushing Zhuxia Yiqing,

"The 54th Army has already been fighting the little devils for nearly two hours now."

While Lao Chang was speaking!

Lin Wei, Tang Zong, and others had already hung a huge map on the wall.
