Invincible from the sword

Chapter 340

The news of the occupation of Taihu Lake shocked Ningji Okamura.

idiot.

Taihu Lake was finally defeated.

Not easy.

Neiji Okamura was in his No. 11 Army headquarters, sobbing in disbelief.

Although there were some twists and turns, the goal of the battle was finally achieved.

Attacking Taihu Lake made Ningji Okamura very nervous.

The opponent is an aircraft and a tank.

Even the Sixth Division was almost wiped out.

Although this sixth division was formed again, it is still a division anyway.

More than 1 troops.

As a result, there was only one alliance left.

Such heavy casualties are very rare for their island country.

This is a Taihu Lake.

If he hits Wuhan according to this casualty ratio, then his No.11 army will be wiped out.

If Taihu Lake can't be defeated again, Okamura is ready to ask Madoka Doi to continue to reinforce him.

Okamura felt that this battle was not going well from the very beginning.

The defenders of Taihu Lake are too powerful.

Okamura even doubted whether the information provided by his loose agency was wrong.

No.20 army, it is simply impossible to be so strong.

Okamura is still a little bit skeptical about this.

During the first battle of Changsha, the No.11 Army he commanded fought against the No.20 Army of the National Army.

Although the combat power is very strong, the equipment is really poor.

Okamura is almost sure that there is definitely more than just one No.20 army in Taihu Lake.

However, anyway, it finally came down.

Okamura looked at the telegram sent by Terauchi Yu.

I felt a little better.

However, the head of the No.18 brigade, Bo Tian, ​​was injured.

And it still hurts.

It is impossible for Bo Tian to command the next battle.

This made Okamura somewhat uncomfortable.

Bo Tian's command ability is still acceptable.

The old brigade leader.

Isamu Terauchi said in the telegram that he suggested that the head of the Sixth Division, Miyato Shinichi, temporarily act as the head of the Third Division.

In any case, this Taihu Lake was brought down by Shinichi Miyato.

If you don't encourage it, it really can't be justified.

Okamura thought about it.

Also.

Anyway, the post of commander of the third division is still vacant.

And Bo Tian was injured again.

At present, only Shinichi Miyato is suitable.

After all, the next battle still needs someone to command.

So Okamura waved his hand and agreed.

Then the appointment was submitted to the base camp of the island country.

After occupying Taihu Lake, Ningji Okamura was in a much better mood.

Although the entire battle caused heavy losses to his No.11 Army, so far, his intended goal has been achieved.

Originally, Okamura Ningji was worried that the other party would play tricks to lure the enemy into deep or something.

But now, Okamura is sure that the other party has really retreated.

The opponent deployed such a powerful force in Taihu Lake, it was definitely not to lure the enemy to go deep.

But want to hold Taihu Lake.

According to the telegram of Isamu Terauchi, according to the report of the No. 18 Brigade of the Japanese Army, it seems that the Eighth Route Army or the New Fourth Army are defending Taihu Lake.

In Okamura's view, this is simply a joke.

When did the Eighth Route Army have troops in the Fifth Theater?
Moreover, Okamura is very clear about the equipment situation of the Eighth Route Army.

To put it simply and crudely, the Eighth Route Army is nothing more than a motley army in his eyes.

Not to mention tanks, even rifles are pitiful.

The troops defending Taihu Lake have tanks.

Moreover, Botian also said in the previous telegram that the opponent's firepower is so powerful that it is shocking.

Has a large number of machine guns and submachine guns.

Even the opponent's rifle can fire bullets continuously.

Not even a bolt.

Compared with that kind of rifle, the [-]-style of their island country is shit.

idiot.

Judging from Bo Tian's description, the rifles used by the opponent's troops should be semi-automatic rifles.

At present, only the Lighthouse Country seems to be using this rifle.

In other countries, it is not used at all.

In other words, the army in Taihu Lake is definitely the elite of the entire national army.

Okamura believes that this should be the direct line of the old man Yamashiro's direct line.

Otherwise, it is simply impossible to have American equipment.

The direct descendants of the old man in Shancheng, the Tenth Army and the No.70 Fourth Army, only use Su weapons.

Therefore, this army defending Taihu Lake is definitely the confidant team of the old man in Shancheng.

Just like the German mechanic back then.

Thinking about it this way, Okamura immediately felt a lot more at ease.

Suo ga.

According to Okamura's own experience, although the combat effectiveness of this army is very strong, the total strength should not be too many.

The reason why he was repulsed by Shinichi Miyato should be because of too many casualties in the early stage.

In order to preserve the strength of this army, the old man Shancheng made this army retreat voluntarily.

In this case, his No. 11 Army only needs to continue to strengthen its offensive.

It will be able to form a strong pressure on Wuhan.

Without the obstruction of this army, the next battle should be much easier.

Just like the Battle of Songhu.

At the very beginning, the fight was very anxious.

But later, the troops of the old man in Shancheng began to retreat.

The current situation is very similar to the Songhu Battle back then.

Neiji Okamura compared them in his heart and felt that they were almost the same.

He immediately ordered to change the Hada Detachment to the Miyato Detachment, and together with the No.20 Seventh Division, quickly advance towards Wangjiang.

Then cross the Yangtze River.

Occupy Pengze.

In this case, the troops can be directly pushed to the Jiujiang area.

As long as the troops are pushed to Jiujiang, it will be much easier to occupy Wuhan.

What makes Okamura depressed now is that the ship detachment of their Central China Dispatch Army was blocked in the Xuzhou area.

In order to block the ships of their island country, the opponent actually set up a large number of mines.

At the same time, the river surface was blocked by a large number of abandoned ships.

If the fleet of their island country wants to attack Wuhan along the Yangtze River, they must first clear the abandoned ships on the Yangtze River.

This workload is very large.

Not a month to go without even thinking about it.

Therefore, it is hopeless to count on the ships of their island countries.

However, this is not a problem.

Now his No.11 army has captured Taihu Lake.

And successfully repelled the elite troops of the old man in Shancheng.

According to Okamura's vision, there should be no more fierce battles like Taihu Lake.

Okamura thought he knew the old man Yamashiro very well.

This guy is a money fanatic.

I don't want to lose anything.

Not to mention an elite army, it's just a feather, and the old man in Shancheng hides it as a treasure.

Now his elite troops have lost a lot in Taihu Lake.

Okamura estimated that the old man Yamashiro would transfer this elite force to the rear.

This is the usual practice of the old man in Shancheng.

Just when Neiji Okamura ordered the Miyato Detachment and the No.20 Seventh Division to quickly advance towards Wangjiang, Li Delin in the Fifth War Zone frowned.

According to the latest battle reports, the Japanese Second Army has occupied Lu'an.

This made Li Delin very shocked.

In just one day, Lu'an actually fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

This is far from what he expected.

According to Li Delin's plan, Lu'an must be defended for at least ten days.

Mother's.

This second Japanese army is indeed extraordinary.

Now Lu'an's troops have retreated to Huoshan.

The position was rebuilt.

But Li Delin estimated that it was hard to say whether Huo Shan could last for three days.

King Nian Yan of the Second Japanese Army actually played dirty with him.

During the attack, the gas bombs were used suddenly.

Let the troops defending Lu'an suffer heavy losses.

This kind of battle is very heartwarming.

If it's a real hard fight, you can feel better if you can't beat it.

But this gas bomb.

Li Delin felt aggrieved whenever he thought of this.

There is absolutely nowhere to try.

Just now, he received another telegram from the No.20 Army.

The No.11 Japanese army has occupied Taihu Lake.

Now the No.20 Army and the temporary regiment have retreated to Wangjiang.

Li Delin was mentally prepared for this.

And what shocked Li Delin was that the No. 20 Army didn't even participate in the entire Taihu battle.

It was only Zhang Lei's temporary regiment that made the Japanese army unable to lift their heads.

If it weren't for the reinforcements of the No.20 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army.

Li Delin reckoned that Zhang Lei could defeat the Potian detachment by himself.

In contrast, Li Delin felt that his troops were fighting a bit outrageously.

Although the Second Army of the Japanese Army attacked very sharply, the casualties of his troops were also a bit too large.

You have to figure out a way.

No matter how big it is, the army can't hold it at all.

He wondered if he could discuss with Zhang Lei and let the plane in his hand support his fifth war zone.

Anyway, De'an is not very far from his fifth theater.

If reinforcements are available, they will reach the battlefield soon.

It doesn't need much, just give the Japanese Second Army two rounds of bombing.

Otherwise, Li Delin really couldn't swallow this breath.

Lu'an and Taihu Lake were occupied by the Japanese army, which greatly annoyed the old man in Shancheng.

Especially Lu'an, but Li Delin said that it would not be a problem to stick to Lu'an for ten days.

Unexpectedly, it was occupied by the Japanese army in one day.

Inside the old man's mansion in Shancheng, more than a dozen senior generals of the national army looked at each other in blank dismay.

Little Zhuge held a long stick in his hand, pointing on the map.

It probably means that Li Delin is not effective in fighting.

Little Zhuge's saliva flew around, his face flushed with excitement.

What Li Delin said is useless.

Lao Gu next to him couldn't stand it any longer.

This little Zhuge and Li Delin both belong to the Guangxi family.

At this time, Li Delin actually tripped up.

Little man too!
In Lao Gu's view, there was nothing wrong with Li Delin's deployment of troops.

Everyone knows that the Second Japanese Army is powerful.

Moreover, Li Delin also said in the telegram that the Japanese army used poison gas bombs in order to attack Lu'an.

This caused a large number of casualties to the national army.

To be honest, in the face of the poison gas bombs of the Japanese army, their national army has nothing to do.

The entire national army does not have much equipment such as gas masks.

Only the most elite troops of the old man in Shancheng have it.

And it's exhausted now.
