"Bang....."

The door to the office of the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Fan, was violently slammed open.

And the one who knocked open the door of the office was Kenji Doi, the head of the Mukden secret agency.

At this moment, his face was extremely ugly, and his expression was very eager.

Startled, Honjo knew that something had happened, so he did not reprimand this capable general.

"Toi-kun, but what happened?"

Tufei Yuanxian Er's face was pale, and his tone was a little hesitant: "The 20th Division sent ten urgent telegrams for help in a row, and they were divided and surrounded by Zhang Xueming's department, and the situation was very critical. "

After hearing this news, Honzhuang Fan was directly stunned.

He asked in disbelief, "Are you sure, how could Zhang Xueming's department be able to divide and encircle the 20th Division. "

The 20th Division was a full-strength horse division with more than 20,000 troops.

Zhang Xueming's department is only more than 10,000 people.

Even if they were well-equipped, it would be impossible to divide and encircle the 20th Division.

Doi Enji gritted his teeth and said, "Zhang Xueming has been hiding his troops, according to the telegram requesting help from the 20th Division.

Zhang Xueming hid a large number of armored fighting vehicles and artillery, and now hundreds of armored fighting vehicles divided the 20th Division, and the casualties were very heavy.

And even the command was almost hit by heavy artillery. "

Honjo felt like he was going crazy.

"Yaga, where did he get all this equipment from?"

But now is not the time to pursue that.

If the 20th Division was annihilated by Zhang Xueming, then he would really be the commander of the Kwantung Army.

And the most important thing is that once the 20th Division is annihilated, then Jinzhou will be in no danger.

Once Jinzhou is lost, then the entire northeast will face the threat of Zhang Xueming's troops.

Including Mukden, where he is now.

All the achievements of this nine-eight incident that they carefully planned will be gradually eroded by the other party.

This is something he absolutely cannot bear.

The troops he could now mobilize were the 4th and 12th Divisions, which had just been supported from home.

The closest of them was the Fourth Division.

He was stationed in Mukden.

The 12th Division was further away and was stationed in the Changchun area.

"Immediately order the 4th Division and the 12th Division to rush to Jinzhou and assist the 20th Division to break through the encirclement, and the speed must be fast. "

Obviously, Honzhuang Fan did not have much contact with the Fourth Division, since he regarded them as the vanguard of rushing to aid Jinzhou.

The 4th Division was one of the veteran divisions of the Japanese army

Although it was mocked as a merchant mission, its combat effectiveness was definitely able to rank high among many horse divisions.

But this division has a very obvious feature - three do not fight.

Do not fight battles outnumbered, do not fight battles that are uncertain, and do not fight against the wind.

If there is a tailwind battle, their combat effectiveness will definitely be able to rank in the top three, which is no worse than the first and second divisions with the strongest combat effectiveness.

And what kind of battle is this battle of Tower Hill? In the eyes of the Fourth Division, this is absolutely uncertain.

When the Fourth Division received an order from the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, it immediately caused quite a stir.

Immediately, the commanders of the major wings gave the order to assemble.

At the same time, the soldiers and officers who were setting up stalls or doing business outside were ordered to return quickly.

Everywhere you go, you can see the soldiers of the Fourth Division doing business (reselling military supplies), which is no exaggeration.

They will not miss any opportunity to make money.

When they were in Shengjing, their soldiers were able to put their stalls in Zhao Yi's palace, and you can imagine their enthusiasm for doing business.

Several squadron leaders and squad leaders from the 8th Wing gathered.

"Shimu-kun, isn't your cousin in the staff headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the commander urgently mobilized us to support Jinzhou, what's going on?"

Shi Mujun said with a serious face and a low voice: "The 20th Division over there has been divided and surrounded by the Northeast Army led by Zhang Xueming, and there is a danger of being completely annihilated.

I heard that the Northern Army was equipped with a large number of armored fighting vehicles and heavy artillery, and even two large-caliber train guns. "

After hearing him say this, there was a sound of gasping for air.

The pupils of several officers shrank, and the expressions on their faces became ugly.

"Baga, the 20th Division was defeated so easily, let us give up heavy weapons and light armor and rush back, don't we go to death?"

"That's right, they actually have train guns, this Jinzhou will definitely not be able to hold it, but we can't violate the orders of the headquarters either. "

Let's delay and let the 12th Division take the lead, and we will go south afterwards." "

"Yo Xi, we really didn't disobey the order, waiting for the battle situation to change, and it's the same when we look for an opportunity to join the war. "

This proposal was unanimously agreed.

So the rumors about the battle of Tower Hill were like a gust of wind, reaching the ears of every soldier of the Fourth Division.

The officers and soldiers who had agreed with the Eighth Wing also spread rapidly.

So when Terauchi Shou gave the order to open up, he saw a wonder.

The number of people on leave for various reasons reached nearly 10,000.

There is even a brigade of more than a thousand people, from the captain of the brigade to ordinary soldiers, all on leave, and there are all kinds of outrageous reasons.

And this brigade is a certain group of the Eighth Wing, which has a good tradition.

Looking at the high price bar like snowflakes, Terauchi Shouichi burst out.

"Bagaya Road, as long as it is not dead, everyone is not allowed to take leave for any reason, and immediately assemble troops to board the car. "

Shouichi Terauchi, who had just taken office, knew what this fourth division was, but now he knew how outrageous this group of people was.

However, if this could make the Fourth Division obey orders, he would underestimate this shrewd Osaka Division.

It took the Fourth Division more than three hours to complete the two-kilometer journey and arrived at the Mukden Railway Station.

It takes at least four or five hours to board.

At this time, the 12th Division riding the military column had already passed Mukden, on the way to Jinzhou.

Terauchi Shouichi, on the other hand, has given up treatment.

However, during these few hours, the Battle of Tashan and Jinzhou changed dramatically.

With the armored forces of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division after the completion of the division of the XX Division.

The new First Division also joined the battlefield under Huang Huanran's order.

Following the dividing line of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division, they encircled the two brigades of the Japanese of the 20th Division.

This also means that the total annihilation of the 20th Division has entered the countdown.

When the new First Division was completed, the 4th and 5th Mechanized Infantry Regiments of the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division and the divisional artillery units gradually withdrew from the battlefield.

Their target was Jinzhou, which was empty in the north.
