31st Division Headquarters.

Liang Shanhao was studying the military situation in front of a military map of Taierzhuang.

Suddenly, the chief of staff walked in from outside the door.

Liang Shanhao raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff, how is the fighting situation in Ximen?"

With a smile on his face, the chief of staff shouted: "Master! Ximen has won a great victory. We have driven out all the Japanese soldiers of the 36th Regiment!"

Suddenly heaving a sigh of relief, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Great! Now our headquarters can keep in touch with the front line again!"

Frowning slightly, the chief of staff shouted: "It's just...it's just that the casualties of the death squads are really heavy!"

The eyebrows were also slightly raised, and Liang Shanhao asked in a deep voice: "How many people died in the death squads, and how many survived?"

With a heavy sigh, the chief of staff shouted: "The battle damage of the death squads has exceeded 90%. The death squads of 800 people now have less than 30 people left, and most of them are seriously wounded, and they are probably not going to survive!"

With a solemn face, Liang Shanhao exclaimed in a deep voice: "Hey! As the old saying goes, once a general succeeds, all his bones will be withered, and Ximen can be recaptured all because of these brothers who are not afraid of death! These brothers are all good!"

After a pause, Liang Shanhao continued to shout: "Chief of Staff, the names of the fallen suicide squad brothers must be carefully counted, and the pensions must be paid in place. After the little devil is beaten, I will build the graves and erect monuments for these brothers. I

Let future generations remember them!"

Nodding, the chief of staff shouted in response: "Master! Don't worry, I will personally supervise the pension matter. You don't have to worry too much!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Okay, then I'm relieved!"

While the two were talking, a communications soldier hurriedly walked in from the door.

After giving Liang Shanhao a military salute, the communications soldier raised his voice and shouted: "Reporting to the division seat, Tang Enbo, commander of the 20th Army Corps, is calling!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Nian!"

The communications corpsman read aloud: "According to the report from Commander Guan's headquarters, the Japanese Segu Detachment has shown signs of moving to the east of Taierzhuang recently. According to the scout's report, the Setani Detachment has moved to the Hanjiazhuang area!"

Suddenly taking a breath, the chief of staff shouted: "Segu detachment has also come to Taierzhuang. It seems that the little devil is going to risk his life!"

Walking to a map, Liang Shanhao shouted: "The Japanese soldiers of the Segu detachment have arrived at Hanjiazhuang, and they are only a day and night away from our Taierzhuang!"

The chief of staff on the side said helpfully: "If the Setani detachment takes a car, it will reach the east of Taierzhuang early tomorrow morning!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "The chief of staff's speculation is not unreasonable, so we must make defensive preparations in advance and focus on strengthening the defense of the east gate position!"

The chief of staff nodded and shouted: "What the teacher said is absolutely true. The Segu detachment is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Whether it is the quality of its soldiers or weapons and equipment, it is far better than an infantry regiment. No matter what, we must prepare for a rainy day and be prepared in advance."

Get ready for battle!"

After a slight hesitation, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Chief of Staff, call Long Weiguo of the 182nd Regiment immediately and tell him to be more alert! The Segu detachment must have carried a large number of heavy artillery, so the defense methods must follow the foreign policy.

According to the law of deploying troops in a loose and tight manner, the troop allocation must be divided into 80 and 20!"

Raising his head towards Liangshan Haoyi, the chief of staff shouted in response: "Yes! I'm going to call Commander Long now!"

…

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, in the field tent of the 10th Division.

The commander of the Isotani Division had not slept all night and was drinking coffee in the tent.

Suddenly, Major General Seya walked in from the tent door.

The commander of the division was greeted with a standard Japanese military salute, and Major General Setani shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander!"

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, the commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Setani-kun, you are finally here!"

The commander of the Isoya Division kept leaning forward, and Major General Seya shouted in response: "Hai! I'm sorry, it's a full hour late from the time set by the commander of the Isoya Division. I hope that the commander of the division will atone for his sins!"

Wrinkling his brows, the commander of the Isotani Division asked in a deep voice: "Setani-kun, do you know the difference between being an hour late and an hour early on the battlefield?"

Major General Setani shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I know that I can capture a city of the China Army and annihilate a Class A division of the China Army in one hour! But there is a reason why I am late."

With a raised brow, the commander of the Isotani Division asked in a deep voice: "The reason? Your detachment has a total of five thousand troops. Can the Tang Army stop it on the way? As far as I know, the troops of the Tang Army did not move towards Linyi.

Come in!"

Major General Seya shouted: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, you don't know something. I was harassed by guerrillas during the march. These guerrillas usually run away with just one shot. They don't confront us head-on. They are still in the middle of the march."

There were mines everywhere on the road, so my marching speed was slowed down by them!"

The commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Guerrillas? Chief of Staff, in Shandong, whose guerrillas are these?"

After pondering for a moment, the chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, division commander, if you guessed correctly, this should be the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army!"

The commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "The guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army? You mean the Eighth Route Army that ambushed Itagaki-kun's transport team at Pingxingguan!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Hai! Guerrilla tactics are a common method used by the Eighth Route Army. Apart from this, I can't think of any other Chinese army that can use this kind of tactics to slow down Setani-kun!"

The commander of the Isotani Division sighed: "The Eighth Route Army is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is really a trouble! After we finish fighting Taierzhuang, I will definitely wipe them out!"

After taking a look at Major General Isotani, the commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Does your unit still need to rest?"

Major General Seya shouted in response: "Your Majesty, Division Commander, no need, I can launch an attack on Taierzhuang now!"

With a satisfied smile on his face, the commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Yo Xi! In ten minutes, we will launch an attack on the China Army position from the east gate of Taierzhuang!"

The commander of the Chaojitani Division raised his head, and Major General Setani shouted in response: "Hai!"

After a pause, the commander of the Isotani Division called out again: "Setani-kun, I have to remind you of something!"

Major General Seya asked: "Your Excellency, division commander, please speak!"

The commander of the Isotani Division continued to shout: "The China Army likes to retreat to civilian fortifications to engage in close combat with us, so you can't place too much hope on your heavy artillery fire. You need to put more effort into infantry command!"

"

Major General Seya shouted: "Hai! I understand your humble position!"

The commander of the Isotani Division shouted: "Okay, let's go down and start now. I'm looking forward to Setani-kun's battlefield performance!"
Chapter completed!
