Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 186 Destroying the Fifth Division
Hisao Nishio's proposal immediately aroused discussion among devils in the meeting room.

Everyone feels good!
There are still quite a lot of imperial expatriates in the Pingjin area, and temporary troops are formed from the expatriates.

This is still feasible, and it is no problem to form a temporary army of one or two thousand.

Coupled with the ghost immigrants living in the Pingjin area, most of them are adult men.

The little devil's military service system is very perfect, and this group of adult men are basically people who have received military training.

"Yo Xi!"

Terauchi Kotobuki nodded, "Nishio-kun, your idea is very good."

"I'm going to start adopting it right away."

The 22nd Army, like a sharp sword, is about to be pierced into the heart of Pingjin;
This made Shouichi very uncomfortable in the temple.

Hebian Zhengsan's brigade, as the Pingjin Front Army, is now the only mobile unit.

Shouichi in the temple must use it up.

And at this moment, Terauchi Shouichi's adjutant hurried into the meeting room.

He handed several telegrams in his hand to Shouichi Terauchi.

After reading the telegram, Terauchi Shouichi's complexion was not very good.

In the conference room, the ghosts of the Pingjin Front Army, everyone saw the change in the expression of Shouyi in the temple.

Everyone knows that tonight, the imperial army must have suffered a lot.

"idiot!"

Terauchi Shuichi, furious, got up from his chair.

He lifted the chair and slammed it hard on the ground.

With a sound of "cracking...", the chair was torn apart and scattered on the ground.

In the meeting room, all the devil officers lowered their heads.

Everyone didn't dare to look directly at Shouichi in the temple.

The adjutant of Shouyi in the temple also stood aside with his head shrugged.

In the conference room, it is very quiet now.

It was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop to the ground.

In the office, there was only the sound of everyone's breathing, and there was no other sound.

After venting his anger, Terauchi Shouyi looked at his adjutant: "Chair!"

"Hi!" His adjutant immediately fetched a new chair.

"Everyone!" Siuchi Shouyi sat down, his eyes were very sharp, "Tonight."

"In the direction of Niangziguan, the Chuan'an Corps originally occupied several counties on the Shangzhengtai Line."

"Now the 2nd Army of the Sichuan Army in the second theater is attacking the Zhengtai Line, and at the same time Niangziguan is facing the front."

"Sun Lianzhong, Feng Qinzai, Zeng Wanzhong and others also launched an attack, and the Chuan'an Corps was restrained."

"Several counties on the Zhengtai line have also lost contact with the Chuan'an Corps, and it's probably more ominous than good."

Kazuki Kiyoshi asked: "Commander, what happened to the Chuan'an Corps?"

"Has there been any major losses?"

The big guys are also afraid now, the Chuan'an Corps has been beaten and disabled.

Once the Chuan'an Corps is also defeated by the Sichuan Army and other Republic of China troops, it will be disabled.

In the Pingjin area, the imperial army lost the initiative.

Temple Shou waved his hand: "The Chuan'an Corps is fine."

"Kawagishi Bunzaburo set up a circular fortification, and several Republican troops in front of Niangziguan failed to open the gap."

"The 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army used the previous tactics to lure the Chuan'an Corps."

"However, Kawagishi Bunsaburo was not fooled, and the Sichuan army did not attack by force, but harassed it on its flank."

Hearing what Terauchi Shouichi said, Kozuki Kiyoshi and Nishio Shouzo also let out a long breath.

As long as the Chuan'an Corps is safe, as long as there is no problem at Niangziguan, the Pingjin Front Army still has a chance to turn defeat into victory.

Seeing the generals in the conference room, Si Nei Shou was obviously relieved, and he sighed.

"The Niangziguan battlefield is safe, but it is in the Xinkou battlefield."

"The situation in the Fifth Division is not very good."

"Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division was counterattacked by Wei Lihuang's Central Army and Yan Laoxi's Jinsui Army tonight."

"The enemy's firepower is very fierce. Ten artillery regiments bombarded the Itagaki Division with superior firepower."

With that said, Terauchi Shouichi came to the sand table in the meeting room, and he laid out the situation map of the war situation.

Xiangyue Qingji and others saw that the battle situation was not good for the Fifth Division.

Especially the 9th Division, and now the [-]th Brigade of Kunizaki has also been transferred and incorporated into the [-]th Army.

The combat effectiveness of the Itagaki division has dropped by at least a notch.

At the point where the two armies met on the Xinkou battlefield, the position of the Itagaki Division had formed a pocket in the past.

Wei Lihuang's Central Army and Yan Laoxi's Jinsui Army are now preparing to cut off the protruding part of the Fifth Division.

In addition, the Imperial Army Aviation at night was unable to support the Fifth Division.

The Republic of China army on the Xinkou battlefield concentrated its superior forces and stormed the Banyuan Division.

Itagaki Seishiro must not be able to hold on.

Today, the Xinkou battlefield has been fiercely fought for many days, and both sides are almost fighting for reinforcements.

The direction of Niangziguan is the breakthrough point chosen by the devils. Right now, the Chuan'an Corps has not advanced a single step, unable to tear open their mouths, and unable to threaten Xinkou.

Xinkou's Itagaki division became very passive.

While everyone was chatting and discussing, Terauchi Shouichi's adjutant came to the conference room in a panic.

"Commander!"

"The head of the Itagaki Division was wounded by enemy artillery."

"The Fifth Division is now retreating."

"Nani?!" In an instant, the devil officers in the meeting room widened their eyes.

The situation in this battle is deteriorating so fast now that the Itagaki Division was able to block the opening opened by the enemy just now.

Why is it defeated now, and the head of the division is also injured.

"How is Itagaki Seishiro's injury?" Terauchi Shouichi was a little anxious.

Itagaki Seishiro is the commander-in-chief on the Xinkou battlefield. If Itagaki Seishiro is seriously injured, Terauchi Shouichi must choose a new commander.

"Commander, Commander of Itagaki Division, his thigh was wounded by a stray bullet."

"His injuries are not life-threatening."

Hearing this, Shou Yi in the temple let go of his hanging heart.

In this case, he doesn't need to change the frontline commander. Changing commanders during a war is a big taboo in the art of war.

Shouyi in the temple gave orders to the devils on the Xinkou battlefield that all troops should defend and not attack.

In the direction of Niangziguan, he also asked the Chuan'an Corps to pay attention to the movements of the Sichuan Army in case the Sichuan Army launched a war of encirclement and annihilation.

Xinkou battlefield!

Wei Lihuang and Fu Zuoyi, the two of them saw the Fifth Division retreating.

They also ordered the troops to continue to expand the results of the battle and tear the devil's defense line even bigger.

At the same time, the artillery units carried out carpet bombing towards the Fifth Division.

The devils of the Fifth Division, across the Pingjin area, are now retreating for the first time.

The dense rain of bullets also made the ghost soldiers of the fifth division feel the fear of death.

After the soldiers of the Central Army and the Jinsui Army captured the position of the Fifth Division, everyone immediately consolidated their positions to prevent the devils from counterattacking.

However, after waiting for a long time, the soldiers did not see the devils counterattack.

In Wei Lihuang's command post, the messenger came to report.

"Commander, the devils of the Fifth Division did not counterattack, and at the same time, reinforce several brigades of the Fifth Division."

"Now they are all back in their own defense zone, and the devil's forces have shrunk across the board."

"Strange?" Wei Lihuang frowned slightly: "What kind of drama is this devil going to sing?"

Fu Zuoyi grinned and said, "I reckon that the devil in Xinkou must have received the order from Shouyi in the temple."

"Hmm..." Wei Lihuang thought for a while: "Old Fu, I think your statement is reasonable."

"Our defeat of the Fifth Division this time is also a great victory."

Fu Zuoyi nodded: "Indeed, in Jin Province."

"Since the start of the war, the Central Army and the Jinsui Army have not achieved any major results."

"Tonight, we finally have dinner, and we are full."
