Chapter 366: A Poor Complexion

In Teng County!

The Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army has already engaged the Segaya Detachment.

On the roads and railways leading to Teng County, the Sichuan Army set up a Landmine Array.

It blew up an entire battalion of the Japanese Army!

This caused the arrogantly clamoring Segaya Detachment to suffer losses for the first time in the Pingjin Region.

However, the Sichuan Army does not know!

The Japanese Army soldiers killed by the landmines were actually all a group of fake devils.

They were all Jing'an Army soldiers who had put on Japanese Army uniforms.

Regarding every move of the Sichuan Army in the Seventh War Zone, the commanders of the Japanese Army Central China Area Army and the Pingjin Area Army.

"During the day, the Imperial Army, under the cover of aircraft, artillery, armored vehicles, and tanks, captured the Lu Army positions."

Wang Mingzhang chuckled; currently, his 122nd Division;

The Artillery Battalion directly under the division headquarters is also equipped with six Type 41 Mountain Guns and 12 Type 92 Infantry Guns.

It is equivalent to an isolated army!

"Detachment Commander!"

Then the 10th Division, the Segaya Detachment, and the Chongteng Detachment surrounded the Sichuan Army troops in Teng County.

"Detachment Commander!" The Adjutant looked at Segu Qi, "According to the intelligence released by the Division Commander."

Yu Hua's head also ached a little.

Tonight, bite a piece of fat meat off the Japanese Army.

Even if Yu Hua pulled up his entire Independent Brigade, 14,000 men would not be enough to fill the gaps in the Japanese Army's teeth.

"The Third Group Army, even if they are capable of fighting!"

Moreover, it also caused the 10th Division to fall into a bitter struggle.

Yu Hua looked at the intelligence sent by the frontline troops.

"Over a thousand people were blown up yesterday; I have already reported it to the Commander."

"However, this Segaya Detachment is actually not sending out small squads to roam around as it did before."

The Imperial Army and the Republic of China Army are deadlocked on the positions; for a time, neither can do anything to the other.

"The Third Group Army, even if it has 100,000 men, but, my 10th Division."

"Brother Yu, your complexion doesn't look too good?"

It was because Isogai Rensuke was worried that Segu Qi was thin on troops against the Sichuan Army, so he specifically issued a transfer order.

Why is this arrogant fellow Segu Qi not like he was before?

"Now it is at full strength, whether it is the armored troops, the artillery, or even the aircraft support in the sky."

Plus!

The Sichuan Army likes to set up ambush points on the roads to encircle and annihilate the Imperial Army.

How did this Third Group Army suddenly change from a sick cat into a fierce tiger?

And the Chongteng Detachment currently on the way to reinforce.

"Sigh... Brother Wang."

"Soldiers must not take off their clothes when resting, must keep their guns on them, and must be prepared for a Night Raid by the Sichuan Army at any time."

After all, according to the previous combat power comparison in the Pingjin Region.

"Brother Yu, we have artillery now, don't we?"

With over 40,000 men against the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army, Segu Qi still has confidence in his heart.

After pondering for a while.

"Don't even mention it!"

"We must be careful of the Sichuan Army in Teng County; we must build fortifications when camping at night."

"Yes!" The Adjutant nodded heavily.

"Now Jining and Wenshang have already fallen into a scorching battle."

The Japanese Army's camp occupies several kilometers of territory, a vast black expanse.

Now a heavy Sichuan Army group has appeared in the Fifth War Zone.

"The Division Commander sent me a telegram."

The Detachment Commander of the Segaya Detachment... Major General Segu Qi is currently in his military camp, looking at a map.

Now there is such a large mass of Japanese troops, and, furthermore, their firepower configuration far exceeds that of a standard Permanent Division.

After listening, Segu Qi said coldly: "How many men does the Jing'an Army still have?"

"The railway tracks are gone, and the bridges have been blown up by the Sichuan Army."

Chongteng Detachment!

The two of them specifically had the Special Higher Police and the Mei Lan Zhu Ju Four Major Agencies collect a lot of the 23rd Group Army's combat methods.

Segu Qi knows about the scorching battle; it is just like the battle in the Songhu Region.

"I originally wanted to arrange for the brothers of my Independent Brigade to go and hit the little devils tonight."

"It's not at all like before, collapsing by the thousands of miles!!"

Just charging deep into enemy lines alone, what kind of camp are you setting up!

Just keep charging forward, reckless is all it takes!

"How is the situation on the Division Commander's side?"

Seeing Yu Hua grimacing, Wang Mingzhang asked: "What's wrong?"

"Detachment Commander!" The Adjutant lowered his head: "The Division Commander's situation is not very good."

One regiment of the Japanese Army can hold off one division of the Republic of China Army in the Pingjin Region.

Now, the 10th Division is blocked, and the Segaya Detachment and the Chongteng Detachment have a combined total of over forty thousand men.

"During the day, let this group of Chinese people repair the bridges and build the roads for me."

Originally, the 10th Division's Division Commander, Isogai Rensuke, had this plan.

"It shouldn't be able to block my 10th Division for so many days, right?"

"According to the reconnaissance report from the aircraft today."

"Railway tracks, highways, bridges, and the like—none of these are problems."

"The roads leading to Teng County, whether highway or railway, have all been destroyed by the Sichuan Army."

Yu Hua waved his hand: "With artillery... that won't work either!"

"Have him pull the Jing'an Army from the north south as quickly as possible to reinforce us."

"Detachment Commander!"

Nighttime!

At the moment!

The Segaya Detachment, this large mass of the Japanese Army, after setting up camp.

The temporary command post of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

The 10th Division is blocked at Jining and Wenshang, and his Segaya Detachment.

"When can we unite our forces?"

In the eyes of the Japanese Army, the Jing'an Army is nothing but bedbugs!

They had built defensive fortifications, and the unit's sentries were also arranged very thoroughly.

"When night falls, the Third Group Army will launch a counter-assault to recapture the positions."

In an instant!

Segaya Qi's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief flashed within them.

Terauchi Hisaichi directly ordered the Jing'an Army to go scout the path!

Using this to break the Sichuan Army's Landmine Array!

For the Japanese Army, losing a few Jing'an Army soldiers is just a drop in the bucket!

Now that they are about to arrive at Teng County, Segaya Qi is no longer sending out small detachments to roam around.

"Nani!?" Segaya Qi widened his eyes, "How could it be like this?"

"The Jing'an Army still has ten thousand men!"

"The Type 41 Mountain Gun and the Type 92 Infantry Gun—if we drag these out, we can give the devils a beating."

Tell Chongteng Qianqiu to hurry and support the Segaya Detachment.

"Your Excellency Commander, let us advance steadily and surely; do not be eager to push forward, because this Sichuan Army unit must be treated with caution."

Segaya Qi turned his head to look at the Adjutant.

"Sun Tongxuan and the others are now commanding the Third Group Army, stubbornly blocking our Imperial Army."

"Yoshi!" Segaya Qi smiled triumphantly: "As long as the Jing'an Army is here."

"The Third Group Army's current Weaponry is equivalent to an Imperial division in terms of firepower."

When sweeping through the Pingjin Region, they would send a battalion or two companies to roam around, burning, killing, and looting!

Segaya Qi decided to slow down the detachment's advance toward Teng County; at the same time, he would wait for the arrival of the Chongteng Detachment.

Teng County!

Segaya Qi already knew of this strategy.

He is not worried at all now about the Imperial Army encountering the Sichuan Army's Landmine Array.

Being able to serve as cannon fodder for the Imperial Army is already the good fortune of these Chinese people.

With hard equipment in hand, one has plenty of confidence!

"Report, General!"

Originally, Yu Hua had planned to have his Independent Brigade perform a Lure the Enemy to Reinforce.

The 10th Division swept through the Third Group Army along the Jining-Wenshang line, cutting off the defense zones of the Lu Army and the Sichuan Army.

You must know!

According to previous intelligence, this applies to both the 10th Division and the Segaya Detachment.

"This won't work either?" Wang Mingzhang widened his eyes?

He revealed an expression of disbelief!
