Chapter 84

Just as Zhong Yi was teaching the mountain cannon, Yanagawa Heisuke had already arrived outside Jinshan Prefecture.

Yanagawa Heisuke came with a huge anger. This time he was really angry!

Because the performance of the Guoqi Detachment was so bad that he couldn't bear it anymore!

"Kuozaki-kun, can you tell me what's going on?" Yanagawa Heisuke's tone sounded normal, and his face was also calm, but the senior Japanese generals present could feel that he was already on the verge of losing control of his emotions, and this was just the last calm before the storm.

"Hayi!" Kunizaki Tok was speechless and could only pause his head heavily.

Yanagawa Heisuke took a deep breath of air conditioning, tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, and said, "Just at noon today, the Asahi Shimbun reporter asked me when will the 10th Army be able to complete the tasks assigned by the base camp, occupy Songjiang and Qingpu, and cut off the retreat of the main force of the 700,000 Sino-Japanese Army on the Songhu battlefield?"

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "Kuozaki-kun, do you know how I answered?"

"Hai!" Kwanzaki Tok didn't know how Yanagawa Heisuke answered? He could only pause his head.

Yanagawa Heisuke said: "I told him, Kwanzaki, you are quite famous generals. The Fukuyama Regiment is the most powerful infantry corps among the Fifth Division, which is known as the steel army. Therefore, you can definitely capture Jinshan County before dark, and Songjiang Prefecture City before noon tomorrow, and Qingpu tomorrow evening."

Hearing this, the shame on Kōkizaki's face became even more intense.

Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "Sorry, Kwanzaki, you made me break my promise!"

"Hayi!" Kunizaki Ton paused again, "I am incompetent, please punish me, Commander!"

"Baga, what I want is not punishment, I don't want punishment!" Yanagawa Heisuke finally couldn't hold back. The anger that had been suppressed for a long time finally gushed out like boiling magma, "What I want is Jinshan County! What I want is Jinshan County! What I want is Jinshan County! It is Jinshan County!"

Kokusaki was silent, Yanagawa Heisuke's saliva made his face full of water, and he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it.

Yanagawa Heisuke waved his arms and roared hysterically: "Do you know that our 10th Army has now become a laughing stock of the Imperial Army? One army, three and a half divisions and two supplementary corpses, a total of 130,000 troops were blocked by the Chinese army in Kinshan Guard for two days and nights!"

He paused for a moment and said, "I finally got ashore and the troops and equipment were finally able to be unleashed. Now I can move forward quickly, right? Ha, I ended up hitting my head in Jinshan County again! A great humiliation, Guoqijun, don't you think this is a great humiliation for the 10th Army, no, for the entire Imperial Army?"

"Hayi!" Kunizaki Ton bowed his head again and said, "The humble position has disappointed the commander."

"Disappointed? I am indeed very disappointed with you, very disappointed!" Yanagawa Heisuke's mood finally calmed down a little, he nodded and said, "But I am still willing to give you another last chance."

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "Kuozaki, tonight, your KUozaki Detachment will not rest. We will fight at night and launch a strong attack on Kinshan County overnight. We must take down Kinshan County before midnight!"

Hearing this, the senior officer of the Guoqi Detachment was stunned.

Is your Excellency the Commander so angry that he was in chaos by the failure in front of him?

Guoqin Teng took a breath and said, "Commander, I am willing to lead my troops to launch a strong attack on Jinshan County overnight, but the result may be difficult to satisfy you. It is not that the chief of the Huyi Office has the ambition to destroy his own prestige. Our Guoqi Detachment has been attacking fiercely throughout the day but has not been able to take Jinshan County. It is even more impossible to fight at night."

Yanagawa Heisuke's face immediately turned dark and he said coldly: "So, don't you want to attack?"

"Hayi!" Kunizaki Ton paused heavily and said, "Commander, the cost of attacking Jinshan County is too high, and it takes time. Why not bypass it first?"

"Nani?" Yanagawa Heisuke said in shock, "By it?"

"Hayi!" Guoqideng said with a pause, "Jinshan County is like a copper bean that cannot be beaten or beaten flat. There is no way to deal with it in an anxious manner. So Hu Zhi thought that the best way is to bypass Jinshan County and directly attack Songjiang and Qingpu, and quickly cut off the retreat of the main force of China in the Songhu battlefield!"

"By bypass Jinshan County and directly attack Songjiang and Qingpu?" Yanagawa Heisuke felt a little moved when he heard this. Shi shook his head and said, "No, the road leading to Songjiang passes through the city from Jinshan County. If you don't take down Jinshan County, you will not be able to get through the baggage and heavy weapons. Without heavy weapons, the Imperial Army lacks the ability to attack!"

"Maybe there is no need to attack the toughest!" said Kōkizaki. "Since the Battle of Songhu, the main Chinese forces gathered in western Shanghai have long been exhausted. At this time, only one division of imperial troops needs to appear behind it, and the main 700,000 Chinas will collapse in an instant."

After a brief pause, Kunizaki Ton said again: "What's more, even if the highway cannot be opened, the mountain artillery and 92 infantry can still be maneuvered from a small road. With the artillery support of mountain artillery and infantry cannons, the imperial army can still have an absolute advantage in the firepower level."

"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke was finally convinced.

Of course, more importantly, Yanagawa Heisuke did not have enough confidence and won the Kinshan Prefecture in a short period of time.

After all, the Guoqi Detachment is the trump card of the 10th Army. The Guoqi Detachment cannot win Jinshan County in a short period of time. It is definitely OK to replace other troops? Don’t be naive!

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "However, Kinshan Prefecture must be taken!"

"Hayi!" Guozakito paused his head heavily, and then gritted his teeth, "Commander, please hand it over to our Guozaki Detachment. We will definitely take down Jinshan County!"

"Not only will you take down Jinshan Prefecture, but you must also wipe out the Chinese army in the city, especially Zhong Yi. I must see his body!" Yanagawa Heisuke patted Kiyosaki on the shoulder and said, "Kuosaki, whether you can wash away this shame and whether you can restore the reputation of our 10th Army in the military depends on your Qi Detachment's performance. Kuosaki, don't let me down again this time!"

"Hayi!" Kunizaki Ton bowed his head heavily and said, "Don't worry, Commander!"

"Yo Xi!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded, turned around and said to Yamada Tejiro, "Yamada Jun, order the 6th Division to immediately bypass Jinshan Prefecture and attack towards Songjiang! After advancing near Songjiang, the 18th Division stayed, and the 6th Division continued to attack and advance along the highway towards Qingpu!"
