Chapter 98
Jinshanwei, Haiyue Temple.
Because the Sixth Division was progressing rapidly, it was approaching Qingpu, and the Kantozaki Detachment finally wiped out Zhong Yi's troops entrenched in Jinshan County. Yanagawa Heisuke had a rare sleep and finally got up until after seven in the morning. When he was about to wash up, he suddenly heard a faint explosion.
"Hmm?" Hearing the explosion, the old Japanese immediately turned his head and looked north.
The explosion came from the north, and it was at least twenty kilometers away!
Twenty kilometers north of the north is Jinshan County. Is the battle not over yet?
Could it be that Guozaki-den is lying? Zhong Yi's troops were not destroyed by the Imperial Army?
Yanagawa Heisuke's brows frowned, and a bad premonition appeared in his heart.
It’s not that Yanagawa Heisuke thought too much, it’s because Zhong Yi’s opponent is too difficult to deal with.
At this moment, Yamada Tejiro, chief of staff of the 10th Army, hurried over.
Yanagawa Heisuke asked, "Yamada-kun, did you hear the explosion just now?"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro bowed his head heavily and said, "The explosion should have come from Jinshan County."
"Soga!" Yanagawa Heisuke's face became more and more gloomy, and he continued, "Yamada-kun, call the KUKAYA Detachment immediately and ask what happened to the explosion just now?"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro stopped his head and turned around.
Seeing Yamada Tetsujiro leave, Yanagawa Heisuke was not in the mood to wash up.
After a while, Yamada Tetsujiro walked back with a blue face and reported: "The Commander, something happened! The Sixth Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery was raided by the Chinese Army!"
"Nani?" Yanagawa Heisuke's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and he said anxiously, "How is the situation now?"
However, before Yamada Tetsujiro's answer was answered, a faint explosion sounded again from the north, and the noise was even louder!
Yanagawa Heisuke's face suddenly turned dark. He could guess briefly by hearing the movement, and the situation was probably not good!
Sure enough, Yamada Tetsujiro shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Commander, according to the report of Mr. Matsushita, the situation of the field heavy artillery brigade is very bad, I'm afraid it's..."
Yanagawa Heisuke took a deep breath of air conditioning, tried his best to calm himself down, and asked again: "I'm afraid what it is?"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro bowed his head again and continued, "Although the 18th Division has rushed to Jinshan County to reinforce, it is probably too late to go in time, so the Sixth Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery is probably doomed this time! It is already a blessing to be able to save one-tenth of the artillery!"
"Nani?" Even though Yanagawa Heisuke had been mentally prepared enough, he still couldn't believe it after hearing this answer, and said, "I can't even save one-tenth of the artillery?"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro replied, "I'm afraid it's."
"Baga!" Yanagawa Heisuke said in disbelief, "Which Chinese army unit that attacked the Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade? There are actually large Chinese government troops near Jinshan Prefecture?"
Yamada Tetsujiro shook his head and said, "Commander, if I guess correctly, the one who attacked the Sixth Field Heavy Artillery Brigade is Zhong Yi's troops!"
"Zhong Yi's troops?" Yanagawa Heisuke frowned, "Didn't most of Zhong Yi's troops be wiped out, and only a small part of them broke through? How could they still have the ability to attack the heavy artillery brigade?"
Yamada Tetsujiro said: "The problem is that there are only a few hundred Chinese troops attacking the heavy artillery brigade!"
"Nani?" Yanagawa Heisuke said in a daze, "How dare hundreds of people attack the heavy artillery brigade?"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro said, "They Qiao Zhuang became the Imperial Army. The heavy artillery brigade was caught off guard. They were successfully hijacked two heavy artillery pieces by Zhong Yi's troops, and then lowered the muzzle and fired the remaining heavy artillery directly, causing the ammunition to explode continuously! The explosion that the commander just heard was the explosion of the shells!"
"Baga!" Yanagawa Heisuke said anxiously, "Where is the Kwanzaki Detachment?"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tejiro said, "Kuozaki Detachment is no longer in Jinshan County!"
"Nani?" Yanagawa Heisuke was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said again, "Has the Kwanzaki Detachment headed towards Kawasa?"
According to the combat plan formulated by the Japanese base camp, after the 10th Army captured Songjiang, it would divide its troops into two groups, one to attack and advance in the direction of Chuansha and Pudong, and cooperate with the Shanghai to send the main force of the condemnation army to defeat the main force of the National Jun on the Songhu battlefield. The other route went north to Qingpu and Kunshan, and cooperate with the 16th Division landing in Baimakou to cut off the National Jun’s retreat!
That's why Yanagawa Heisuke believed that the Kyosaki Detachment had run to Kawasa overnight.
However, Yamada Tetsujiro shook his head and replied: "Kuozaki Detachment did not go to Kawasa!"
"Didn't go to Kawasa?" Yanagawa Heisuke asked with a frown, "Where has the Kwanzaki Detachment gone?"
"Jiaxing!" Yamada Tetsujiro pointed to the map and said, "From the time point, the Guoqi Detachment should be almost outside Jiaxing City!"
"Baga!" Yanagawa Heisuke's face immediately collapsed again, and he said angrily, "Kuozaki Tok dared to disobey the orders of the headquarters and the army headquarters. It's simply outrageous! Does he have the base camp in his eyes, and does he have me, the commander?"
After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke said again: "Yamada-kun, call the Kunizaki Detachment and order them to stop moving forward immediately!"
Yamada Tetsujiro shook his head and said, "Mr. Commander, I'm afraid Kwanzaki will not obey the order."
Yanagawa Heisuke immediately became silent because the Japanese officers had always had the following tradition of being better than others.
After a moment of silence, Yanagawa Heisuke still gritted his teeth and said, "Yamada-kun, you should send a telegram to the Kwanzaki Detachment, telling Kwanzaki Ton about the attack of the Sixth Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery, and let him ask for his own blessing. If this attack on Jiaxing cannot achieve the expected results, I will definitely send him to the military court!"
"Hayi!" Yamada Tetsujiro.
...
At this time, on the Shanghai-Hangzhou Highway.
A convoy of more than 200 trucks was heading towards Jiaxing.
Following the convoy, there were also Japanese infantrymen on both sides of the highway, with tens of thousands of people!
The armored vehicle that Kunizaki was riding was in the center of the convoy, and Kunizaki was resting in his mind.
Suddenly, Kunizaki heard cheers outside the carriage. He immediately approached the observation hole and opened the cover again. He saw the officers and soldiers driving along both sides of the road cheering.
Kokuzaki Tom looked in the direction where the officers and soldiers were following.
At this time, it was already bright, so the sight was very good. Kurosaki Toru saw a large city emerging from the horizon ahead at a glance!
Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed through Kōzaki's eyes.
Needless to say, the big city ahead must be Jiaxing City!
