Chapter 12 Reaction of the Parties
"What are you talking about!!!" Hearing the news that the entire Kumamoto unit was wiped out, everyone in the room was as unbelievable as if they had seen a ghost!

Matsui Iwane stepped forward and grabbed the messenger's clothes and pulled them to his face.

"You just said that the Kumamoto United Army of the Sixth Division was wiped out! How is this possible!" Matsui Iwane waited with his red eyes, and roared, spit spittle all over the scout's face!
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" being pulled by the collar, the scout couldn't breathe, and the words were slurred from his mouth.

Noticing this, Matsui Iwane quickly let go, and the scout gasped for breath.

"Cough cough, report to your Excellency, the Kumamoto Regiment was indeed wiped out, and there were also at the scene: Major General Moritake Tanabe, Chief of Staff of the Tenth Army, Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, Chief of the Sixth Division, and No. Lieutenant General Ushishima Sadao, commander of the 18th Division, and all general officers of the [-]th Army including the commander of the [-]th Division." The scout once again repeated to Matsui Iwane the story of the annihilation of the Kumamoto Regiment news, and the fact that Mori Takeshi Tanabe, Hisao Tani and others were killed together.

At this time, Matsui Iwane staggered and fell backwards, and the other staff officers hurriedly supported him.At this time, Tsukada Gong was also staring blankly at the front.

You must know that although the total casualties of the Japanese army during the entire Songhu Battle were about 4, it was the first time that the established system was wiped out, and this happened after the victory.

This is equivalent to the cooked fat suddenly jumping up, punching Matsui Iwagen in the face with a big punch, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was standing on the table with a knife and gesticulating at him.

To be honest, it is not surprising that an establishment is completely wiped out in this kind of national war.This kind of thing is not unacceptable to the commander-in-chief of the dispatched army.

What really made him unacceptable was that Hisao Tani, Mori Tanabe and others who were killed along with him included more than [-] generals of the Tenth Army!This also means that there is a power vacuum at the highest level of the tenth army of the entire dispatched army.

Prior to this, since the September [-]th Incident, there were only three Japanese generals who died in China.It can be seen from this that what a huge impact this is.

"Have you found the reason?" After a long time, Tsukada Kozai asked dryly.

"The specific reason is still under investigation!" The scout responded.

"Call me immediately if something happens, go down!" Tsukada Gong said.

"Order: All troops of our Tenth Army immediately stop all activities, gather soldiers, station on the spot, and strengthen security. To prevent Chinese soldiers from making a comeback!"

"Order: Lieutenant General Yanagawa Hirasuke, the commander of the Tenth Army, must arrive at his post within 24 hours and take over the military affairs of the Tenth Army!"

"Order: Third, the Ninth Division moved to the rear of the Sixth Division, No.11 and No.13 Divisions moved to the rear of No.18, No.16 and the [-]st Division moved to the [-]th Behind the division."

"Order: All intelligence agencies investigate the details immediately!"

Four consecutive orders were issued from the headquarters of the dispatched army, representing the melancholy of the Japanese army at this time.

Four Lines Warehouse
To be honest, Ma Chao was also very confused at this time.Although he knew that when dynamite was mixed with soda ash, its explosive power would increase, but it was the first time that the big girl got on the sedan chair when it increased to such an outrageous situation.

It turned out that when the defense line was set up last night, the mobile building closest to the Sixing Warehouse was only more than 30 meters away.At this distance, the little devil can hit the front with a single charge, which will increase the difficulty of defense without limit.

Therefore, after asking Yang Ruifu, I learned that during the last material replenishment of the 88th Division, a batch of yellow explosives imported from abroad was shipped together, originally intended to be used to deal with the little devils' armored vehicles and so on.As a result, as soon as the replenishment was in place, the order to retreat was received. Because it was difficult to store the dynamite, it was left in the Sixing Warehouse during the retreat.

Therefore, based on the existing batch of explosives, he designed two sets of plans.

Plan [-]: Booby traps made of German-style wooden handle grenades. His targets are mainly Japanese soldiers, used to eliminate a small number of little devils and make them confused.

Plan [-]: After defending against the first wave of enemy attacks, the Japanese army must deploy a large number of troops to achieve the task of annihilating the four-element defenders.At this time, through a simple timing method, the building is blasted, so that the shooting area can be cleared and the distance between the two sides can be increased.Second, it can kill and injure some of the little devils to achieve the effect of lowering the morale of the enemy and killing a part of the little devils.

Ma Chao's original thought was to clean up the buildings to the north of the Sixing Warehouse, so as to prevent the little devils from moving to him through the shelter of the buildings.

Anyway, it will be blown up sooner or later, so a little later, just hug the grass and beat the rabbit, just by the way.Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it won't be much worse.

Therefore, Ma Chao asked Yang Ruifu to search for soda ash, and make on-site deployment at the site to be blasted to make explosive kits.

Because, after mixing the two substances, its state will become very unstable. At this time, a slight vibration may cause him to explode, so it can only be mixed on the spot.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the little devils reacted so badly to the failure of the first attack!All of a sudden, the entire alliance was brought to attack.

When he first heard the little devils over there chanting slogans together, he felt uneasy in his heart.The sound that can be heard from hundreds of meters away must have a lot of people.Just in case, the dynamite is not real Dynamite but a similar fake.If its explosive power is just better than nothing, then what they will face next will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.You know, this kind of buying fakes was not uncommon in the National Government at that time.

And because of yesterday's time problem, he didn't have time to carry out the test, so he had to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor.

However, the final effect still satisfied him, and it can also be said that it greatly exceeded his estimate.It seems that the members of the Song family did not do anything in this batch of armaments.

As the water in the bucket used for timing slowly flows out, its weight is also slowly reducing.And the suspended side of the brick that he pressed down was also slowly falling.

Finally, as the water in the bucket ran out, when the weight of the bucket alone could no longer hold down the brick, the brick naturally fell from the wall.And the thin rope tied to the brick also pulled the detonator along the way.

In the end, a series of explosions sounded. While burying the entire Kumamoto Regiment, they also took away the entire top generals of the Tenth Army.Of course, at this time Ma Chao didn't know that he had achieved such a great result.

After staring at the north for about half an hour, Ma Chao got up, yawned and turned to Xie Jinyuan, looking at the battlefield where there was no movement except for scattered Japanese troops looking for something.
"Okay, Commander Xie, leave some observation posts behind, and let the rest go to rest. It seems that there will be no movement in the Japanese army in a short time. After all, the brothers have been busy all night last night, and we must Get back on your feet. The real test is yet to come."

Xie Jinyuan graciously agreed to Ma Chao's proposal and arranged for the soldiers to rest.

And while Ma Chao and the other soldiers were resting, the concession authorities had already exploded!
