After giving the captain a sideways look, the commander of the Isotani division muttered: "You mean to say that your defeat was all because your opponent was too strong!"

Nodding hurriedly, the Jaap captain shouted: "Hai!"

After giving the regiment leader three slaps, the commander of the Isoya Division shouted: "You are just farting. The 11th Regiment is the elite regiment of the entire 10th Division. You told me that the Chinese Army is too powerful, so you

Failed! I think you are trying to excuse yourself from responsibility for your incompetent command!"

The chief of staff on the side also fanned the flames and said: "Mr. Dongchuan, do you think you should bear such a task for the failure of this battle?"

With a drooping face, the captain of Dongchuan United shouted: "I am willing to commit seppuku for the loss of this battle!"

Two eagle eyes stared at the Higashikawa regiment captain, and the Isotani division commander shouted in a low voice: "Higashikawa-kun, do you think death will solve the problem? I tell you it's not that easy!"

His eyes were stunned, and the captain of the Dongchuan regiment shouted gratefully: "Your Excellency, division commander, Aligado, please let me go to the battlefield! I will definitely win the China Army's position!"

Reaching out and patting Captain Higashikawa's shoulder, Isotani Division Commander shouted: "Higashikawa-kun, I'll give you a night to reflect! You have to take care of yourself! Go down! I hope to see one in tomorrow's battle.

Different results!”

After a sudden meal, the captain of Dongchuan United shouted: "Hai!"

Watching the captain of the Dongchuan Regiment walking out of the command room, the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander, in today's battle, the 11th Regiment returned with a huge defeat. It seems that the Chinese army we faced is not a good one."

ah!"

After pondering for a while, the commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Yo Xi! What the chief of staff said is not unreasonable. The defenders of Taierzhuang fought so tenaciously. It seems that they still have not abandoned the military style of the 29th Army!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Yes, your Excellency, division commander, in order to successfully win Taierzhuang, some adjustments must be made in the next battle!"

With a raised brow, the commander of the Isoya Division shouted: "In the opinion of the Chief of Staff, what adjustments do you think should be made?"

After thinking for a moment, the chief of staff shouted: "The most important thing in street fighting is to restrain the firepower of house fortifications. Although combat anti-aircraft guns are good weapons, they lack mobility and protection. If you want to win, I suggest mobilizing tank squadrons to coordinate."

Infantry attack!"

The commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "This is a good idea, but the tank squadron is still on the way and has not reached Taierzhuang yet!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Please don't worry, Division Commander. I just received a telegram from the tank squadron leader. He said he can arrive before dark today!"

The commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "That would be great!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an officer who looked like a major came in from outside the tent.

The commander of the Isoya Division gave a Japanese military salute, and the Japanese Major shouted: "Muto Chariot Squadron is here to report!"

With a smile on his face, the commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Muto-kun, you came at the right time. The chief of staff and I were talking about you just now! Look, Cao Cao will be here soon!"

Squadron Leader Muto shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, please assign a mission! My tank squadron can launch an attack now!"

The chief of staff on the side shouted: "Muto-kun, it's getting late. Attacking now is like a fly swatting at a spider's web, seeking death. Now, you have no combat mission. Just have a good rest tonight! Do you understand?"

The commander of the Isotani Division also shouted: "Muto-kun, the chief of staff is right, you can fight the battle. Go down and rest quickly. I will assign you important tasks tomorrow!"

As the commander of the Isoya Division raised his head, Squadron Leader Muto shouted in response: "Hai!"

…

Fifth Theater Xuzhou Headquarters.

A group of combat staff are conducting military sand table exercises.

Looking at the Japs in the direction of Linyi, the chief of staff shouted: "Sir Li, it seems that the Sakamoto detachment of the Third Division is likely to go south for reinforcements!"

Also looking at the combat sand table, Chief Li sighed and exclaimed: "Yes! In addition to the little Japs in Linyi, the Japs' Segu detachment is also ready to move now, and it is very likely that they will go around to the right wing of Taierzhuang!"

Frowning, the chief of staff shouted: "In this way, the 31st Division in Chifengcheng will face great defensive pressure!"

Chief Li shouted: "We can't move the reserve team in hand now. We can't devote ourselves to the defensive operations of Taierzhuang for the time being. We can only rely on the second group itself!"

After pondering for a moment, the chief of staff shouted: "Sir, how about this, let's ask the Henan Air Force for some support!"

Shaking his head, Chief Li shouted: "No, the Air Force is our trump card. If we show it now, we will definitely suffer revenge from the Japanese Air Force!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Chief Li, according to this situation, we can only place our hope entirely on Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps. Chief Li, don't forget the lessons of the Tengxian Defense War. If Tang Enbo's rescue was not delayed,

If it's too late, Commander Wang Mingzhang and his men will not sacrifice their lives for the country!"

A trace of seriousness flashed across his face, and Chief Li shouted: Chief of Staff, I have always kept the lessons of the Tengxian Defense War in mind. This time I will not let Taierzhuang become the second Tengxian County. I have repeated this to the Wuhan High Command many times.

After communicating with each other, if Tang Enbo dares to openly disobey the military orders of the commander of the fifth war zone by relying on his status as a general of the Central Army, I can directly shoot the commander of Tang Enbo's army!"

The chief of staff shouted: "In this case, the battle of Taierzhuang will be fought!"

After a pause, Chief Li called out again: "How is the battle situation in Taierzhuang today?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Boss Sun just called and said that the 181st Regiment of the 31st Division had a great victory and annihilated hundreds of little Japs!"

With a raised brow, Chief Li shouted: "Oh, the 31st Division is quite capable of fighting. It seems I saw Chifeng City correctly! Haha!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Sir, Chief Li, the Japanese soldiers are attacking Taierzhuang with all their strength. It's time for our outside troops to move. Only by containing the Japanese troops in the rear can we reduce the defensive pressure on the 31st Division!"

Taierzhuang is the main battlefield of the entire Xuzhou Defense War. If the 31st Division is compared to the bait of the Isotani Division, then the Tang Army on the outside is a big net preparing to encircle and annihilate the Isotani Division.

The bait cannot be eaten up by the Isotani Division yet, so the 20th Army Corps on the outside must take action.

Chief Li shouted: "The chief of staff is right, Tang Enbo's troops must be allowed to move out! Order, the 20th Army Corps sends troops to move to the Yixian area, threatening the logistics supply line of the 10th Division! At the same time, send a troop

Watch the Japs in the direction of Linyi!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Yes!"

Commander Li shouted again: "Order! The 31st Division must hold on to Taierzhuang until the external troops encircle it!"
Chapter completed!
