I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 718: Doesn’t he have an armored train so he can’t fight?

In Shuiquan City.

In the Sun family compound, in Tanaka Jiuyi's temporary command post.

Huge explosions sounded one after another.

It blew him and Kusumoto Julong up into the sky.

A Japanese squadron leader who was originally in charge of defense in the yard saw that a shell had fallen on the temporary division headquarters, and he immediately shouted in horror:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!

Come on, come with me and rescue the division commander!"

Then he rushed into the house with his men.

However, just as he rushed to the threshold, he saw more meteors falling, blowing up the entire house.

The shockwave from the explosion hit him hard and knocked him to the ground.

There was even a piece of arm that was blown directly in front of his eyes by the shock wave of the explosion, causing his eyes to open wide and he almost fainted.

The Seiko watch with the chrysanthemum pattern still worn on his wrist made him realize clearly that this was the division commander - Tanaka Kyuichi!

This time, he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, and could not help but screaming:

"The division commander has died in battle!!!"

After shouting this, he came back to his senses.

Turning around, I saw the shells with tails of flames in the sky still falling here, and the place they came from was the Zhang family mansion next door.

Immediately shouted:

"Hurry up, catch those idiots!
Avenge the division commander!"

Then he stood up from the ground, rolling and crawling, and rushed towards the Zhang family mansion with dozens of soldiers rushing over from all directions.

However, when they rushed to the Zhang family mansion, they were greeted by a barrage of bullets as dense as a rainstorm.

The soldiers of the special operations company, holding MG-42 general-purpose machine guns, fired at them wildly.

The chainsaw-like sound was like the god of death's scythe, madly reaping their lives.

They had the Type 38 rifles in their hands, so they didn't even have a chance to fire!

……

There is no doubt that the Japanese devils' pursuit of Wei Dayong and others would certainly not yield any results.

Instead, they beat him terribly.

The Japanese soldiers simply couldn't understand why the obviously light machine guns in the hands of these Eighth Route Army soldiers had such fierce firepower!

It's no less powerful than a heavy machine gun!
After a hard fight, they didn't catch even a single special forces member.

Instead, they were lost among the layers of walls and houses.

When it comes to familiarity with the Shuiquan terrain, these Japanese devils are no match for Wei Dayong and his gang!
The dim night is their greatest helper.

The Japanese squadron leader was so angry that he roared to the sky and wished he would die of depression.

……

For the Japanese devils, the extremely long night finally passed.

When the sky turned pale, they all knew that the Eighth Route Army would not attack them again.

Suddenly everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, like fish out of water.

They were so nervous that they didn't realize that the last gunshot in Shuiquan City was half an hour ago.

……

After the Japanese soldiers of the 21st Division lay on the ground and calmed down for a while, the officers began to organize them to withdraw towards the division headquarters.

At this time, after careful investigation, they discovered that the only highest commander in the division was Colonel Keita Kaneda of the 83rd Regiment.

The division commander, division chief of staff, and commanders of other regiments have all died in the melee from yesterday to now!
When Kaneda Keita stepped forward and commanded the remaining officers to count the remaining soldiers of the 21st Regiment, he suddenly felt that the death of these officers was not a big deal.

Because even if they don't die in battle, the current 21st Division doesn't have that many soldiers to command them.

Excluding the wounded, there are less than 21 people left in the 4000st Division!
It's just the strength of a regiment.

Seeing this, Keita Kaneda couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and his left eyelid twitching wildly.

A whole division was beaten so badly, it's really shameful.

But then he remembered that the more than 57 troops of the Liaodong Army's th Division were wiped out.

The loss of tens of thousands of people in the 21st Division didn't seem like a big deal.

Although he thought so, he still didn't have the courage to ask the telegraph operator to send a message directly to Okamura Ji Ning to report the situation.

Instead, he asked his captains to reorganize the troops, and he led his men to the north gate of Shuiquan City to meet the commander of the 35th Division, Harada Yuji.

Yuji Harada didn't sleep well last night as he listened to the crackling gunshots in the city.

At this moment, he heard that a commander of the 21st Division had arrived, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

I thought to myself: Why doesn’t that guy Tanaka Jiuyi come?

Instead, they sent a wing commander, which is not commensurate with my status.

Although he was suspicious, he still had Keita Kaneda brought in and asked straight to the point.

"Kaneda-kun, Tanaka-kun asked you to come see me, why?"

"Your Excellency, the division commander, Your Excellency, Tanaka, was attacked by the Eighth Route Army last night and was killed!"

Kaneda Keita answered with a sad face.

"What? Die with honor???"

Although Harada Yuji disliked Tanaka Jiuyi a little, he really didn't want the other party to die in Shuiquan City!

When he heard this shocking news, his eyes widened!

I couldn't help but scream.

An imperial lieutenant general died like this? ? ?
The Chief of Staff Shirataki Rijiro beside him also looked shocked and asked quickly:
"So now, is Kusumoto-kun in charge of military affairs in your 21st Division?"

"No. The Chief of Staff also died."

Keita Kaneda had a sad face.

"Nani?"

Both Harada Yuji and Shirataki Rijiro's jaws almost dropped to the ground.

The headquarters of the 21st Division was wiped out!

The two looked at Kaneda Keita with eyes filled with sympathy.

Harada Yuji was even thinking: His decision to trick Tanaka Jiuyi into going into the city to take the blame yesterday was absolutely correct!

Otherwise, I might be the one dying now.

Although the death of a fellow Taoist is sad, it is better than your own death.

After a long silence, he said:

"Kaneda-kun, have you sent a message to inform the Commander?" "No.

I would like to ask the division commander to send a message on my behalf and ask for instructions on the next action plan for the 21st Division."

Kaneda Keita answered.

Hearing his words, Harada Yuji's eyes suddenly lit up.

He instantly understood that the other party was taking the initiative to move closer to him!

I can't help but like Dasheng.

I immediately agreed.

He then called the telegraph operator and ordered him to send a message to Okamura Ji-ning.

……

Beijing.

Okamura Jining's headquarters.

Chief of Staff Seigo Tanabe was shocked when he received the telegram from Harada Yuji.

He hurried over to find Okamura Jining.

When the other party saw his face, he knew something was wrong.

He immediately asked in a cold voice:

"Is it Shuiquan calling?"

"Your Excellency the Commander has a keen eye. It is indeed Shuiquan who is calling."

Tanabe Seigo answered with admiration.

Yesterday the other party said that the Eighth Route Army would definitely set up an ambush, and I didn’t expect it to come true today.

This is what is meant by “Planning in the tent and winning the battle thousands miles away”!

When he heard what Tanabe Seigo said, Okamura Jining wanted to draw his sword and chop him.

Although I had anticipated this result yesterday, I still had some hope in my heart that my expectation was wrong.

Unexpectedly, things went against my wishes and I actually guessed it right!

He immediately asked:
"How many troops did that idiot Harada Yuji lose again?"

"No, not Harada-kun."

Tanabe Seigo shook his head.

"What's going on?"

Okamura Ji Ning was a little surprised.

"It's Tanaka-kun from the 21st Division."

Tanabe Seigo's face was full of regret.

"Tanaka Jiuyi? The top elite of this generation of the Tanaka family?

Could it be that he was ambushed by the Tubalu?"

Okamura Jining was of course very familiar with Tanaka Kyuichi's family background.

"Yes, they were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in Shuiquan City last night, and both Tanaka-kun and the division chief of staff Kusumoto Julong were killed.

After counting the losses this morning, the entire 21st Division only has less than 4000 combat-ready soldiers left!"

Tanabe Seigo explained.

"Stupid rubbish!

Insulting the reputation of the Tanaka family!"

Okamura Ji Ning cursed angrily.

Then he asked:

"Who is in command of the 21st Division now?"

"Colonel Keita Kaneda, commander of the 83rd Regiment."

“Out of a division, only one regiment remains. This is the elite of our Locust Army, the pillar of the empire!
Ha ha……"

Okamura Ji Ning laughed in anger.

After a moment, he asked again:
"Harada-kun sent a message asking me to send troops to support him?"

"No. Harada-kun didn't mean to ask for tactical guidance.

Instead, he asked about the situation of the 21st Division and how to deal with it."

"Tell them to reorganize their troops, defend the water spring, and not to leave the city to fight at will!

Let Kaneda Keita reorganize the remnants of the 21st Division and temporarily place them under the command of the 35th Division! "

Okamura Ji Ning gave the order decisively.

Then he asked:

"Where is Shinozuka-kun?"

"We have just arrived in the south of Qixia Town, and are currently sweeping out the Chinese troublemakers and Eighth Route Army near Qixia Town!

According to Xiaozuka-kun's report, they still have at least five days to reach Heyuan County!"

Tanabe Seigo looked a little unhappy.

"Baga! Didn't I ask you to send a message to urge him to speed up?

He's disobeying orders?"

Okamura Ji Ning was furious.

"Commander, Mr. Shinozuka said that the Tubalu destroyed the Shotai Railway, affecting the passage of their armored trains, so they are repairing it while advancing.

The march is slower.”

Tanabe Seigo explained.

"Baka! Does he have no armored train, so he can't fight?"

Okamura Ji Ning roared, and the urge to replace this guy became more and more obvious.

Regarding this question, Tanabe Seigo didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

At this moment, the air in the room became sticky and fell into a terrifying silence.

After a while, Okamura Ji Ning sighed and gave the order:
"Order the Liaodong Army's 1st and 8th Divisions to each send a fully staffed regiment and set off in advance!

Get to the capital as soon as possible. I will personally take them to Shimen to take charge!"

"Hi!"
