"After they chased us for about three miles, they stopped. Then Zhang Dashan gathered the retreating soldiers and we retreated to Jinan City." Wang Rixin said with a wry smile: "This is almost the whole thing."

After finishing the matter, Wang Rixin looked at Ruan Xuanwu with red eyes and said hoarsely: "Captain, this incident was completely a mistake in my judgment, which led to such a huge loss to our troops. For this reason, Rixin is willing to be punished."

After hearing Wang Rixin's words, Ruan Xuanwu couldn't help but sigh, it's not a crime! Even if he was prepared to use such a firepower configuration without artillery support, even if he commanded a division himself, he would not dare to say that he could take the position. He even dared not say that he could keep the lineup retreat.

"Risin! You can rest with peace of mind first. I will find a way to help you make up for the equipment." Ruan Xuanwu was silent for a long time after hearing Wang Rixin's words: "I will report this matter to the commander of the legion and commander-in-chief. I will tell you what the situation is then!"

Wang Rishiyan had no choice but to nod his head helplessly. What else can he do when things go so far?! The entire 88th Division has been beaten to a disabled person, and he has no maximum capital. How can he talk to the above?!

So, with the help of the guards, Wang Rixin left the 34th Army Headquarters and returned to the station to rest while waiting for the news. At this time, a man who had appeared in Fukuda Hikasuke's office chatted with the extremely frustrated soldiers who retreated to the 88th Division for a while, and left the 88th Division's garrison with a strange smile.

"What?! The 88th Division of the Chinese Army was defeated in a crushing defeat?! More than 4,000 people and nearly 10,000 rifles were lost?!" Fukuda Hikasuke from the office suddenly shouted: "Kim Kishimoto! Tell me what the situation is like?"

"Yes! Lieutenant General!" Kishimoto, a standard Japanese army stood attentively and respectfully said to Hikasuke Fukuda respectfully: "When we left your office and rushed back to the 88th Division Command to continue monitoring, we found waves of wailing from their headquarters, and some soldiers who came out of it were covered in blood. It seemed that they were experiencing a cruel battle."

Fukuda Hikasuke nodded and signaled Kishimoto to continue speaking.

"So we approached them as citizens of Jinan and asked. The 88th Division did not block the news closely. So we heard the news from the soldiers." After saying this, Kishimoto paused and continued: "Last night, the 3rd Brigade of the 88th Division attacked Zhonggong Town, they believed that they were the remnants of the Lu army. But what they didn't expect was that the firepower of the opponent was extremely strong! And the combat power was also very strong. The entire 3rd Brigade was killed without even capturing the opponent's position and then led to a complete retreat."

Hearing this, Hikaru Fukuda said "Ah!"! He remembered that there was indeed a gunshot last night, and he also ordered the troops to keep a close watch and worry that Guo Min's revolutionary army would suddenly attack them. After dawn, he also sent people to inquire, but later before the news came back, Kishimoto and the others came. At that time, the 88th Division had already set out to Nakamyeon Town, so they only knew that a battle had occurred.

But there was no news about where the battle was, who fought with, and how it turned out. This time the news from Kishimoto happened to be in contact with the gunshots last night! Then everything would meet the number.

"This morning, the 88th Division was dispatched because the 3rd Brigade suffered a great loss. So in anger, Wang Rixin led his 88th Division to wipe out the so-called "remnants of the Lu Army" occupied by Zhonggong Town. But what he didn't expect was that the opponent's firepower was so strong! According to the soldiers of the retreating 88th Division, the opponent had at least ten heavy machine guns and more than thirty light machine guns. The shooting accuracy of ordinary soldiers was also very high, and they even had an unknown number of sharpshooters. So the 88th Division was defeated miserably."

Listening to Kishimoto's description, Hikasuke Fukuda nodded. It seems that the 88th Division has indeed suffered a great loss! And according to the description, it seems that the combat effectiveness of this army is not very good. Hikasuke Fukuda secretly thought: Maybe it can implement the "Jinan Plan" of the cabinet! But should he use some tricks to transfer the main force of their troops?!

Thinking of this, Fukuda Hikasuke smiled strangely and said to Kishimoto: "Thank you for your hard work! Please go outside the door and have someone call Nishida Koichi Nishida and the brigade leader Saito Rio. I have something to discuss with them."

Kishimoto said "Hi!" and turned around and walked out of the office to convey the orders of Hikasuke Fukuda to the guards outside the door. The guard did not dare to neglect and hurriedly called Koichi Nishida and Risuke Saito to Hikasuke Fukuda's office.

After the two of them arrived, Fukuda Hikasuke smiled and asked them to sit down and asked Kishimoto to repost the information he had collected to them again. After listening, Koichi Nishida was thinking, while Saito Rio curled his lips and said to Fukuda Hikasuke: "Lieutenant General, you are too careful! The combat power of the Chinese army has never been worth mentioning! With the combat power of my Great Japanese Imperial Army, a division is enough to destroy one of them!"

After hearing Saito Rio's words, Fukuda Hikasuke was not angry, but just smiled and said, "Saito, after all, this time Guo Min's revolutionary army won a great victory to Jinan. We have to evaluate their combat effectiveness again to avoid the losses of the warriors of our empire. Although our empire soldiers are not afraid of death, there is no need to consume with the inferior Chinese people."

Listening to Fukuda Hikasuke's words, Saito Rio was stunned for a moment! Then he thought for a while before he stood up and bowed sincerely to Fukuda Hikasuke and said, "What the general is considering is that his subordinates are negligent! How can the lives of the warriors in my empire be exchanged with the Chinese people?!"

Fukuda Hikasuke couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction when he heard Saito Rio said this, and then said to them: "After listening to Kishimoto's intelligence, I suddenly had a plan. This can not only reduce the losses of our imperial soldiers, but also control Jinan City, and even threaten Guo Min's revolutionary army to stop the Northern Expedition."

Nishida Koichi and others' eyes lit up when they heard this. They looked at Fukuda Hikasuke respectfully and said in a solemn manner: "I wish to hear it carefully!"

"After a while, Nishida, Saito and I will visit Chiang Zhongzheng, the commander-in-chief of the Guo Min Revolutionary Army. But only I and Saito can enter, Nishida and I can go in later. And Saito and I can pretend to leave Jinan and return to Japan, so we will say goodbye to dispel Chiang Zhongzheng's suspicion of us."

Nishida Koichi and Saito nodded when they heard this. In fact, the Northern Expedition Army and Chiang Kai-shek were very careful about the Japanese army in Jinan. But if Fukuda Hikasuke went to him personally and told him that he was preparing to retreat, I believe the commander-in-chief would be happy to see the teeth and lose sight of him.

"Then, Nishitianjun, come in directly! Report to us: Zhonggong Town has an extremely powerful remnant of the Lu army, and we have heard that this unit has destroyed the 88th Division of the 34th Army under the 4th Army. Because it is for the imperial expatriates, we are required not to evacuate Jinan."

Xitian Geng was very excited when he heard this! Now he and others need to find excuses to keep the troops and even continue to increase troops! This example of the remnants of the Lu Army defeating you, so it is understandable that our empire stationed some troops to protect its expatriates. This excuse is good!

"At this time we chose to be in a dilemma and suggested to Chiang Chiang that we cannot evacuate and station more troops to protect our country's expatriates until they completely resolve the danger. What do you think Chiang Chiang Chiang would do?!" Fukuda Hikasuke tapped the table with his finger and looked at them with a weird smile.

Nishida Koichi, Kishimoto, Saito Liu and others were stunned at first when they heard this, and then laughed! Chiang Kai-shek dreamed that the imperial army would leave Jinan, and the Northern Expedition was his big deal! Great achievements! But now there was a remnant army who directly swept away one of his divisions, and it would be strange that the empire had found an excuse to station troops.

Then the next thing is simple. Chiang Zhongzheng would definitely mobilize the army to annihilate the army regardless of the situation. At this time, the vacancy in Jinan gave the imperial army the best opportunity!

"As long as Chiang Kai-shek follows our steps, there is no doubt! The troops in Jinan will definitely not be much stronger at that time! With the combat effectiveness and equipment of our imperial soldiers, it is easy to capture Jinan!" Fukuda Hikaruo "touch!" and slapped the table hard and said, "At that time, let Tian Youwang and Jiang Huanmen take action first! Our imperial army will help them capture all the assembly points of Guo Min's revolutionary army in Jinan City!"
Chapter completed!
