As soon as Fujita Jin's order was released, the chief of staff said: "Secretary Commander, we are only twenty-five kilometers away from Tongcheng. At this time, we stop moving forward."

Fujita raised his eyebrows, obviously very dissatisfied with the Chief of Staff’s doubts. Fujita said: Can’t you understand my orders?

The Chief of Staff had no choice but to nod, and then informed the troops in front to start camping. He really couldn't understand why the division commander suddenly stopped their progress. You know, the 6th Division was also famous in the entire Japanese army. This time they began to capture Hefei in early June and have arrived at the edge of Tongcheng. They just waited for the division commander to attack in Tongcheng.

In fact, they were very careful along the way, and they had encountered several attacks. These were also the fundamental reasons why Fujita Jin finally issued this order, because all this was very similar to the battle of the 318th Army. If this is true, then Fujita Jin has reason to believe that what they are about to face now is probably his old miser, the 318th Army.

The direct teams basically used methods such as burying explosives to raid the Japanese army. Judging from the current situation, this time they mainly brought the direct team members to engage in adaptive battles. There were not many battles to adapt to the atmosphere of the battlefield. There was no way to compare with the old group of direct teams in the past because this group of people only trained for half a year.

They were not convinced at first, and now they are finally convinced, because the three old players in each team can always seize the right opportunity to give the enemy some damage. These old players are basically trained for more than two years before being pulled to the battlefield. Compared with these direct team members who have been trained for more than half a year, the technical and tactical levels of their old players are already quite mature, and these are levels that direct team members cannot reach at present.

This time their goal is to adapt to the battlefield as soon as possible. Only actual combat can make them increase faster. However, the number of Japanese troops is too large, so their purpose of harassment is naturally not achieved. Moreover, the members of the direct team did not plan to go back now. They just wanted to hide on the periphery and wait until the Japanese troops siege the city.

Fujita Min sat upright in the tent just built. At present, the Sixth Division's protection for the division commander is tight. They don't want to be killed by the Chinese people in China twice in a row. If that's the case, the Sixth Division will not be ashamed to continue to hang out in the imperial army. Not to mention that others look down on themselves, even themselves are a little bit despised.

The commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, Major General Tokutaro, the commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade, Major General Ushimajima Man, hurried to the camp where Fujita was in trouble. They really couldn't understand why the division commander suddenly ordered the stop to advance. They were now enjoying this kind of surging the city and land. Now that they were pressed down by the division commander, they were naturally unhappy.

What's more, Niujima Manta, who was originally acting as the commander of the 6th Division, was very dissatisfied with Fujita's arrival, but this was the appointment of General Matsui Ishiko, and it was confirmed by the base camp. Even if Niujima Manta was not convinced, he had to accept this fact. After Fujita came in, there was no big move, and he was basically fighting all the way, so the contradiction was not reflected.

But now, with four hours left before night, Fujita Jin actually ordered to stop moving forward. Is he afraid or for some other reason? He doesn't understand, nor does he want to understand the main reason why Niushima Man ran over now is to vent his depression for so many days. He wants to ask Fujita Jin why he didn't move forward.

Major General Tokutaro Ichitaro was naturally much calmer than Niushima Man. This time he came here mainly to ask clearly what the reason was. Although he was angry about not being the commander of the master, Major General Tokutaro Ichitaro did not become the leader of the master. Instead, he felt a little ridiculed at Niushima Man. He thought about the arrogant attitude when Niushima Man was acting in the role of the commander of the division. To this day, Major General Tokutaro Ichitaro still misses him. Now he just wants to see a joke.

When Fujita saw the two generals coming, it was natural that it was not too negligent. The Sixth Division was originally a little xenophobic, but he was appointed by the empire, so even if he was xenophobic, he had to listen to him. Fujitata smiled and said: Is there anything wrong with you who come here?

Niujima was dissatisfied with Fujitajin's attitude of asking, "Secretary Commander, why stop moving forward, you know that we are only more than 20 kilometers away from Tongcheng, we can arrive before dark. Tomorrow morning, oh no, even tonight we can take down this so-called Tongcheng, is it that the division commander is afraid of the Chinese army. If this is the case, I am willing to lead the imperial warriors of my 36th Brigade to make achievements for the division. I will flatten Tongcheng and ask the division commander to agree.

If ordinary people would never dare to speak to the division commander. Niujima Man relied on the position of the brigade commander of the 6th Division, and Fujita Jin was the newly arrived division commander without any prestige. Moreover, Fujita Jin actually ordered the stop to move forward, so Niujima Man was so confident. Of course, when Niujima Man spoke, the Chief of Staff and Major General Tokutaro I did not stop him, because they also wanted an answer in their hearts.

Fujita Jin showed no sign of getting angry because he knew that it was normal for the people below to not understand. This was just a guess in his heart. Fujita Jin did not answer Nishima Mitsuki's words, but asked back: I don't know what you know about the 318th Army.

Enniujima Man was the first to be stunned. He was very familiar with the 318th Army. Zaikura and the others fought with the 318th Army, and the losses were very heavy. The division commander and chief of staff also fell at that time. The 318th Army was very strong, at least in my opinion.

Major General Tokutaro I said with a wry smile: I think the 318th Army is the biggest threat to the Empire on the Far East battlefield

The Chief of Staff said: The information about the 318th Army is a thick mule, which is enough to show that their strength is the opponent, but I have to admit that they are indeed worthy of our respect, even if they successfully assassinated our teacher commander and His Highness the Prince of our empire.

Fujita nodded and said: We fought with them when the 318th Army was still the 318th Regiment. I think everyone knows that our third division was not even 5,000 people at that time. At that time, our third division originally had 26,000 people. After saying that, Fujita's face showed a sad expression.

Niudao Mandao: So what does this have to do with us not going to Tongcheng now?

Fujita Jinda: After the 318 army disappeared for a while, I carefully studied the signs of this opponent. I judged that the defenders stationed in Tongcheng might be the 318 army. Of course, this is just a possibility. I can only station on the spot first.

The Chief of Staff said incredible: How could this be the strategic location of Tongcheng not be conspicuous? If they want to guard the city, why not guard a big city like Hefei?

Fujita Jin pointed to the map and said: Although the location of Tongcheng is not conspicuous, it has great strategic value. After the battle against Hefei, our next goal is Tongcheng. The same Hatan detachment in Tongcheng will be Tongcheng. After landing in Anqing, their next stop is Tongcheng. It can be said that if you want to go to Wuhan from the north bank of the Yangtze River, unless you enter from Henan in China, you can only pass through Tongcheng and go directly to Wuhan.

Niujima Man said: But the division commander, now all this is your suspicion. If this is the case, then we will doubt it when we meet an opponent. In this way, our pace of progress will be blocked by the Chinese army.

Major General Tokutaro I shook his head and said: I think what the division commander said makes sense.

Fujita said: Don’t worry, the news I just received, the Hatan Detachment has won Anqing, and their next goal is Tongcheng. What we have to do now is wait.

The chief of staff laughed and said: The division commander meant to wait for the Hatan Detachment to test whether the Tongcheng defender was the 318th Army.

Niudaoman asked: But the division commander, if it is proved that it is the 318th Army, how should we face the orders given to us by the headquarters, but open up the road to Wuhan. Tongcheng is one of our must-pass places. Now the Chinese army in Henan has accumulated about hundreds of thousands of troops. It is very difficult to get there.

Major General Tokutaro I also said: Once it is confirmed that it is the 318th Army, we must also attack, and the losses will not be small.

Fujita's face was solemn: If it was confirmed that it was the 318th Army, then our combat plan would have to be adjusted. There would definitely be no progress in the offensive. Moreover, the 318th Army was not the 318th Regiment of the year. We have no idea about their current personnel and equipment status, etc. We can only see whether the Hatan Detachment can detect the strength of the 318th Army.

Everyone was a little silent. If it was really as the commander of Fujita Division said, then they might face a huge challenge this time. Their unstoppable attack along the way might end in Tongcheng. The replacement may be a fierce battle. It is very likely that the entire Sixth Division will be buried here.

Niushima was a little distressed. The thoughts that originally questioned Fujita Jin were gone now. What he thought most now was that they met this time was not the 318th Army. In fact, Niushima's fear of the 318th Army was also accumulated. It was not until after Asakagumiya King Hikari was assassinated that Niushima was truly afraid.
