At the Japanese temporary headquarters, the two division commanders Itagaki Seishiro and Isotani Rensuke stared at the battle map with complacent expressions.
Isotani Rensuke said calmly: "Although our three routes of reinforcements are blocked, the opponent's strength is only one division.
I believe that after two small advances, the reinforcements will break through the blocking line, rush to the rear of the Chinese army, and carry out counter-encirclement."
Itagaki Seishiro smiled and said: "As long as the counter-encirclement is formed and reinforcements continue to arrive, we will turn defeat into victory and eat up all the more than 200,000 Chinese troops."
At this time, the communications staff officer came in and said with a smile: "The observation post sent information that our reinforcements have arrived, a total of forty field guns and fifteen tanks."
Itagaki Seishiro laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, with these weapons, it is impossible for us to win.
So, how many soldiers are here?"
The communications staff officer said: "The soldiers can't be seen, they are all sitting in the vehicles.
There are a total of 200 military vehicles, and there should be 6,000 people."
Isotani Rensuke pondered for a moment: "The total strength of the three lines of reinforcements should be 15,000 people.
The other 9,000 people are probably fighting with the opponent's blocking force."
"Hahaha, that must be the case."
Itagaki Seishiro was very happy, "Order reinforcements to fire at the Chinese army, fire at the enemy."
As if in response to his call, the whistling of shells filled the air.
The two experienced division commanders immediately recognized the screams of forty field artillery shells, fifteen tank shells, and more than a hundred mortar shells.
Reinforcements should fire artillery three thousand meters away.
“Sssssssssssss” Suddenly, the expressions of the two division commanders changed drastically: Three thousand meters, didn’t they just hit their positions?
The reaction was quite correct, but obviously too late.
"Boom boom boom" Artillery shells of different types and powers fell straight down and hit the Japanese artillery positions, mortar positions, and machine gun positions.
Field artillery shells were used against Japanese artillery positions.
Mortars are naturally the mortar positions that surround the opponent.
Tank shells are used to bombard the opponent's machine gun positions Baga, something bad is going on.
Itagaki Seishiro and Isotani Rensuke rushed to the lookout, raised their binoculars, and looked anxiously.
At this sight, the two division commanders' faces were ashen and their hearts were twitching violently.
They knew that the Taierzhuang battle would be defeated.
"Boom boom boom" The artillery positions were blown to pieces and there was no time to fight back.
Those poor artillerymen were blown everywhere.
What artillerymen fear most is, of course, the enemy targeting them and striking first.
"Boom boom boom" The mortar positions were blown to pieces and even the mortars were flying into the air, not to mention the gunners.
"Boom boom boom" The heavy machine gun position was covered by tank shells, and the machine guns were turned into parts and shot away.
The shooter was even worse, being blown to pieces.
Isotani Rensuke roared: "Baga, Baga, are the reinforcements crazy or blind?"
Itagaki Seishiro's face was grim: "The three routes of reinforcements were all annihilated.
All weapons and ammunition were seized by the Chinese army."
"No, it's impossible.
Just a bad master can be so powerful," Isotani Rensuke shouted.
Itagaki Seishiro shook his head: "It shouldn't be Chen Yong's master.
If I guessed correctly, it was probably Yue Feng who took action.
Such a big battle in Taierzhuang is of such great significance, but he has never reached out.
It's not normal, absolutely not normal. .
Sure enough, he took action secretly, cruelly, viciously, quickly, it’s disgusting, it’s disgusting.”
"No, it can't be him.
Intelligence shows that he is either in Kyoto or Yichang, but it cannot be in Taierzhuang."
Isotani Rensuke shouted.
"Alas, he is elusive and unpredictable, like a dragon."

Itagaki Seishiro sighed.
Isotani Rensuke still couldn't believe it: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
“Sssssssssssss” The artillery shells continued to bombard the artillery positions, mortar positions, and heavy machine gun positions, and then directly bombarded the infantry assembly area.
The opponent seems to have eyes.
Wherever the infantry is gathered, there will be artillery shells covering it.
Anyway, the Japanese reinforcements have enough artillery shells, just in time for them.
The Japanese were blown away to pieces, howling incessantly, and the morale of the soldiers was in chaos.
Itagaki Seishiro sighed: "Order, the whole army will turn forward or not, retreat, retreat."
At this time, the communications staff officer was sweating profusely and ran over: "General, Tang Enbo attacked across the board, blocked our retreat, and attacked forward.
It was extremely fierce.
It was not like the cowardice before.
It was like a different army." ” Another communications officer rushed in with a sad face: "General, Li Zongren's troops are attacking on all fronts.
They are like evil tigers, extremely brave.
We, we are surrounded, and our positions are constantly being lost."
Itagaki Seishiro's expression was grim: "Unexpectedly, just after they lost Nanjing, they dared to encircle and annihilate us, and actually let them succeed.
The Chinese people have been beaten awake."
"Retreat, Itagaki-kun, as much as you can escape."
Isotani Rensuke said frustratedly.
The communications staff officer smiled bitterly and said: "You can't run on land, so let's go from the air.
There are several reconnaissance planes at the airstrip.
The two division commanders, please get on board and turn in quickly."
At this time, Itagaki Seishiro and Isotani Rensuke saw thirty-two red flares rising from the periphery, which were extremely dazzling.
They fully believed that Yue Feng's troops were coming.
These thirty-two flares signaled the end of the bombardment and directly participated in the attack.
A few minutes later, four reconnaissance planes took off and fled over the Taierzhuang battlefield.
Itagaki Seishiro and Isotani Rensuke were sitting in the back seat of the reconnaissance plane.
Looking down, they saw Chinese troops surrounding them from all directions, ferociously attacking the imperial troops in the encirclement.
The two were horrified to see that the Chinese army was extremely ferocious, and their attack power was several times higher than usual.
This proves that the opponent's morale is extremely strong.
They must have been encouraged by the news that the "Xiongqi Regiment" was coming after seeing the thirty-two signal flares.
The two men raised their binoculars and discovered that there were fifteen extremely fierce tanks with the battle flag of the "Hongqi Regiment" hanging on them.
They were like fifteen monsters, bombarding and strafing at the same time.
Especially the strafing was extremely methodical.
Thirty machine guns, scattered at different heights, each responsible for fifty meters, fired back and forth in a fan shape, directly blocking the range of 1,500 meters.
Anyone who escaped towards this range was shot to death.
Behind each tank, two light machine guns and eighteen submachine guns provided cover.
Any imperial soldiers who wanted to rush over and blow up the tanks were all defeated.
Later, more than 3,000 people used the terrain to block the attack.
They had more than 100 mortars, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, and 300 grenade launchers.
These powerful firepower firmly blocked the retreating imperial soldiers, making it impossible to escape from this terrible "hell".
Itagaki Seishiro couldn't help roaring: "Baga, that's our weapon, ours" He never expected that all the weapons and ammunition that were supposed to support him would be taken away by the "Xiongqi Regiment" and they would attack them in turn.
Moreover, the other party didn't feel awkward in using them.
They obviously had regular training.
Itagaki Seishiro and Isotani Rensuke had no intention of watching anymore, so they had to leave with red eyes.
They knew that the more than 40,000 people who were surrounded were doomed.

According to their calculations, the maximum number of casualties in the Taierzhuang battle was 20,000, while the other side suffered at least 50,000 casualties.
Unexpectedly, Yue Feng disrupted the situation, and the result was the other way around.
He suffered more than 50,000 casualties, while the other party only suffered more than 20,000 casualties.
Itagaki Seishiro and Isotani Rensuke secretly vowed to look for opportunities to eliminate the "Xiongqi Regiment" and kill Yue Feng
