Chapter 100 The only bright spot

The major defeat of the main force of the country was soon reported to the Shanghai Condemnation Command through the aviation scout.

When Yanagawa Heisuke learned the news, he was following the headquarters of the 10th Army to move forward towards the Jinshan Prefecture.

After reading the telegram, Yanagawa Heisuke said: "I was a little surprised that the main Chinese forces collapsed so quickly. I thought that no matter what, I would have to wait for the Sixth Division to capture Qingpu before this situation would occur."

"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro said, "Now, it's a good move for the Kyozaki Detachment to go out of Jiaxing!"

"Yes." Yanagawa Heisuke nodded, "Although the main force of China has completely disrupted its system and turned into a group of defeated soldiers, the main force of China must have crossed Kunshan before the 6th Division and the 16th Division met, so it is impossible to encircle and annihilate the main force of China in western Shanghai. At this time, it is necessary to detour towards Jiaxing and Suzhou further away."

"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro said, "As long as the Guozaki Detachment can capture Jiaxing and then the 16th Division can capture Suzhou in time, there will still be a chance to encircle and annihilate the main force of China east of Taihu Lake."

"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded happily and said, "Immediately call the Kuozaki Detachment and order them to occupy Jiaxing as soon as possible, then go north to capture Kaiwang and Wuxing, and cut off the retreat route of the Chinese army from the south bank of Taihu Lake!"

"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro paused and signaled the adjutant to send the order.

Yanagawa Heisuke was about to say a few more words, but his eyes were dull and swept through the car window, and then he was stunned.

Because at this time, Yanagawa Heisuke's convoy had already arrived outside Jinshan Prefecture, the old Japanese saw the heavy artillery position that was blown up to black on the side of the road at a glance.

After looking closely, Yanagawa Heisuke discovered that there were dense huge craters on the black lacquer and black ground, and the diameter of several large craters was even more than fifty meters! This effect was almost the same as the artillery bombardment of the Navy's 300mm caliber main gun!

In addition, at the edges or bottoms of these huge craters, a large number of gun mounts or parts of heavy guns are scattered.

As the vehicle moved forward, Yanagawa Heisuke saw more than one gun barrel, but without exception, they were all twisted into twists.

Just looking at this scene, Yanagawa Heisuke was extremely sure that the Sixth Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery was completely over!

Thinking of a whole heavy artillery brigade, two heavy artillery wings, and 72 large-caliber field howitzers with a 150mm caliber were gone, Yanagawa Heisuke couldn't help but turn black and almost fainted on the spot.

This is a heavy artillery brigade, this is a whole field heavy artillery brigade!

The god-killing Zhong Yi! Damn Zhong Yi! This guy’s conscience is very bad!

Yamada Tetsujiro sighed lightly and said, "Commander, the battle damage statistics of the Sixth Brigade of the Heavy Artillery have been found. Two heavy artillery wings have been completely destroyed, 56 were completely destroyed, 11 were severely damaged, and only 5 were less damaged, but they also need to be transported from home to repair, and the shells were completely lost, and the casualties of personnel were about 1,200."

"Haga!" Yanagawa Heisuke said, "Didn't it mean that the Sixth Brigade of Heavy Artillery has actually ceased to exist?"

"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro replied with a first pause, "In terms of equipment, the Sixth Brigade of Heavy Artillery can indeed revoke the number!"

"Baga! It's all like this. The Sixth Brigade of the Heavy Artillery no longer needs to follow them. Send them back to Japan!" Yanagawa Heisuke's facial muscle twitched violently, and then said, "By the way, have you caught Zhong Yi's troops?"

"No." Yamada Tetsujiro shook Haruka's head and said again, "They have already run away in advance."

"Baga, this despicable and cunning guy!" Yanagawa Heisuke groaned and continued, "But, don't worry about him for the time being. For now, it is more important to occupy Shanghai and chase the main force of China! Passing my order, the Sixth Division immediately launched a full-scale pursuit of the main force of China, and the 18th Division sent an infantry corps to Shanghai!"

Yamada Tetsujiro replied: "Hayi!"

...

In Nanjing, the National Jun Command.

By noon, the bad ones were transmitted one by one.

"Report, the 15th Army suddenly lost contact!"

"Report, the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps is missing!"

"Report, General Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the 19th Army, is unknown!"

"Reported, the Ninth Army Command sent the last telegram five minutes ago, saying that the troops responsible for the cut-off were being attacked by the Japanese army and then they lost contact!"

One communications officer after another walked into the hall like a stream and reported bad news continuously.

Every time a message is received, the staff officer will take a corresponding small red flag from the sand table. In just a moment, the sand table that was originally densely covered with small red flags becomes sparse.

Chairman Jiang's face also became very embarrassing.

To be honest, Chairman Jiang’s heart is now regretful!

If I had known that the Nine Kingdoms Convention was so unreliable, I should have ordered the withdrawal of troops when I learned that the Japanese army landed on the Kingsoft Guard!

Oh no, as early as the beginning of this month, the main force of the Songhu battlefield should be withdrawn to the Wufu national defense line, and then rely on the solid national defense line to carry out long-term consumption with the Japanese army!

Regret not to listen to the words and practices, and there is no advice from Jiansheng!

Unfortunately, there is no regret in this world!

At this time, Chairman Jiang especially hoped that there would be some good news and at least he could save some face!

Otherwise, the blow to his personal prestige this Battle of Songhu would be too big and deadly!

Chairman Jiang was now forced to cheer up and turned his hopes to the communications consultant who kept coming in. However, what made him extremely frustrated was that all the bad news came.

Then, just as Chairman Jiang was about to despair, a familiar figure suddenly came in and looked closely, but it was Dai Li, the director of the Operations Department of the Revival Society.

Dai Li's eyebrows couldn't hide his joy.

Chairman Jiang asked anxiously: "Yunnong, is there any good news?"

Dai Li nodded and said, "Committee, has the 367th Regiment won the battle again?"

"Is that true?" Chairman Jiang said anxiously, "The 367th Regiment has won the battle again?"

"Yes!" Dai Li replied excitedly, "I just received a telegram from the He Ajiu Rangers, saying that they attacked the Japanese heavy artillery position outside Jinshan County at dawn today, and took down a heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army!"

"What's the situation? A heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army was removed?"

"God, a brigade? Or a heavy artillery brigade?"

"Oh my God, how did the 367th Regiment fight this battle?"

"Is this possible? It's incredible!"

As soon as Dai Li finished speaking, the entire combat hall exploded.
Chapter completed!
