Chapter 267: Encirclement (5)
Piao Tianwen Nanping Town, the Third Armored Regiment of the Hu Ben Army and the First Regiment of the Fifth Infantry Division and the 31st Division of Chifengcheng.
The commander of the Armored Brigade Zhang Xudong, the chief of staff of the Fifth Division Liang Haoyao, Chi Fengcheng and others were surrounding the map to discuss military information. With a burst of rapid footsteps, the colonel commander of the first regiment, Tian Jin, had already walked in quickly.
Facing the three people's inquiring eyes, Tian Jin did not care about being attentive and saluted immediately, "The scout reported that the Japanese in Suxian City have been dispatched, with about two brigades of troops heading towards us."
Zhang Xudong and Liang Haoyao looked at each other and said, "Chief Liang, Commander Chi, the Japanese army in Suxian is very clear, and they must have come to rescue the main force of their division!"
Chi Fengcheng and Liang Haoyao nodded at the same time. Chi Fengcheng took a sip of cigarettes and asked, "What are the good ideas for Brigade Commander Zhang?"
"The Japanese have only two infantry brigades, and we have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. I suggest that I take my third armored regiment as the front drive and take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. First, kill the two Japanese infantry brigades that left the city, and then concentrate all their forces to attack Suxian and regain this strategic location!" Zhang Xudong pointed to the map confidently and told the two. In the field battle, Zhang Xudong had full confidence in dealing with the Japanese infantry.
"Yeah!" Chi Fengcheng nodded in agreement and said, "Braft Commander Zhang has a good idea. As long as we take back Suxian and close the gates of northeastern Anhui again, we can completely block the retreat of the 20th Division of the Japanese army. By then, it will be only a matter of time before we can wipe out them completely."
"But, should we send a telephone to the military captain first? After all, the military captain gave us the order to stay on standby." Liang Haoyao said with some concern.
"Okay, I'll go and generate electricity for the military captain." After Zhang Xudong said that, he turned around and walked towards the security room. Liang Haoyao naturally had no objection to this, and he was in relation to his qualifications. Zhang Xudong was a veteran of the Tiger Ben Army. Although his position was the Chief of Staff, he was slightly inferior to Zhang Xudong.

On the road from Qingtong Town to Su County, Qiao Anbang was leading the special operations battalion to march northward. When passing Qingtong, the special operations battalion officers and soldiers unexpectedly captured three Japanese female soldiers. When Qiao Anbang saw them, he found that these three people were Yoshiko Kawashima and Yoshiko Minami whom he deliberately let go.
It turned out that when Yoshiko Kawashima and Yunko Minami learned that the 20th Division were surrounded by a trap, they knew that they were not able to argue. They took advantage of the chaos to quietly leave the headquarters of the 20th Division, but they were also unlucky. When they avoided the pursuit of the Tiger Ben Army and came to Qingtong, they encountered the special operations camp that followed Qiao Anbang.
In front of the special operations camp, three cunning female spies naturally could not escape, so they became prisoners of the Tiger Army again.
Qiao Anbang had no time to deal with the three of them, so he wanted to kill them, but he thought that they were senior Japanese agents and might be of some use to the future development of the Hu Ben Army, so he temporarily detained them and followed the army forward.
Sitting in the armored command vehicle, Qiao Anbang felt a rare relaxation. Since Xuzhou fell, Qiao Anbang has been worried and has been eating and sleeping. Now that the annihilation of the 20th Division is right in front of him, he can lead the victorious troops to go north to counterattack Xuzhou, forcing the Japanese troops on the front line of Xiangcheng to join Xuzhou, or joining the 6th and 7th Divisions of Xiangcheng launched a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army under the cover of the air force. With the strength of four divisions, one guard regiment and three armored regiments, Qiao Anbang was confident that he would defeat the 5th 108th and 109th divisions head-on.
After defeating the attack of the Japanese army on the North Road, if the Central and Japanese army, whose logistics supply line was blocked by the Hu Ben Army and the New Fourth Army, did not want to repeat the mistakes of the North China Front Army, they could only withdraw from Huainan and retreat back to Jiangnan.
While the armored vehicle was driving, the wireless intercom installed in front of Qiao'anbang's seat suddenly rang. The voice of a communication soldier came from the intercom: "Military seat, Zhang Xudong called, the Japanese army in Suxian have been dispatched. After Zhang, Liang and Chi, they decided to take the initiative to attack, fight against the Japanese army, and retake Suxian. Hereby report to the military seat and ask for instructions from the military seat."
"Suxian?" Qiao Anbang pondered slightly, "Niudao's troops who often stayed in Suxian to kill an infantry gang. How dare he take the initiative to go out of the city to rescue him?!" He said this and said, "I didn't say anything, call Zhang, Liang and Chi to approve their actions, and tell them that it is best to use some of the troops to drag the main Japanese army out of the city, and then the main force detours directly attack Suxian, first take down Suxian, and then annihilate the Japanese reinforcements out of the city."
"Yes!" the communications soldier responded loudly.

Peking, the Japanese North China Front Command.
In Soichi Tetsuya's study, two Japanese women in kimonos were carefully brewing tea. One of them picked up a small cup of freshly brewed tea and respectfully handed it to Soichi Tetsuya who was sitting first. Soichi Tetsuya took the tea cup, sniffed it first, then took a leisurely sip, and couldn't help but nod and praised: "Yoxi, good tea."
At this time, Soichi Nakachi was in a very good mood. About an hour or two ago, he received a good news from Mitsuhara Utsuha, the commander of the 20th Division. Mitsuhara Utsuhara said in the telegram that he had already arrived at the base of Jiheji, the Tiger Army.
What does this good news mean? It means that the Hu Ben Army, which once brought heavy losses and great shame to the Imperial Army, will be wiped out. As the commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army of the Great Japanese Empire, how could Teraunuchi be unhappy?
After a while, Soichi Tekakura's eyes began to float on the two women. They were beautiful in figure and fair-skinned. Although they were wrapped in loose kimonos, they still showed an irresistible temptation.
Suddenly, one of Soichi Tetsuki's big hands had climbed up to the towering Jade Girl Peak on one of the women's chest. Perhaps feeling uncomfortable through the kimono, Soichi Tetsuki pompously poked his hand through the woman's loose collar, and the snow-white and firm breasts were constantly changing shape in his hands.
As Soichi Tezuka rubbed the woman, the woman began to moan involuntarily, and her originally clear eyes gradually became blurred.
Just as Soichi Inuchi pulled the woman into his arms and was about to tear her clothes and had sex, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the study.
Teraune Suichi stopped his subordinates' movements and looked up. His chief of staff, Naosaru Okabe, had already strode in in a hurry. Naosaru Okabe looked at the woman in disheveled clothes in Teraune Suichi, and then suddenly closed his feet and stood at attention and saluted: "General, the 20th Division is urgently telegram!"
"Hmm?" Seeing that Naosaburo Okabe's face was a little solemn, a bad omen suddenly came out of Teruchi Sora's heart. He immediately pushed the woman in his arms over, stood up and said, "Ignore!"
"The 20th Division urgently sent a telegram, because Yoshiko Kawashima, Yoshiko Minami Yuko, Sakurako betrayed the Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, and provided our troops with wrong information, luring our troops into the trap of the Chinese Tiger Army. Now our troops have been surrounded by the Tiger Army. There are strong enemies in front and pursuers behind. The situation is extremely urgent. Please call the commander to send a telegram to the neighboring divisions to come for reinforcements. The general of the 20th Division led all the Imperial Army warriors of the 20th Division to hold on the spot, waiting for reinforcements!" Naosaburo Okabe opened the telegram in his hand and recited quickly.
"What? The 20th Division was surrounded by the Hu Ben Army?" Teraunuchi looked unbelievable. Not long ago, he received a telegram from Mitao Niushima. Why did it take only two hours to turn from a telegram for help?
"Report, General, yes." Naosaburo Okabe nodded silently and replied.
After getting Naosaburo Okabe's shortage, Teruchi Soichi's expression changed suddenly and asked angrily: "Why doesn't Niujima Mitohara take the initiative to break through with his division's strength? Instead, he has to stick to the waiting for assistance on the spot? Can't his division break through the blocking defense line of the Hu Ben Army?"
"General, please don't forget that the enemy they face is the most powerful Tiger Army of the Chinese Army. The commander of this unit is a cruel and cold-blooded soldier who has not achieved his goal. Since he set up this trap, he must be sure to eat the 20th Division. It should be noted that the air force and ground armored units of the Tiger Army are very powerful. It is reasonable that the 20th Division is attacked from all sides and it is difficult to break through." Okabe Naosabu analyzed.
"Bagaya Road, is the 20th Division going to follow the footsteps of the 10th Division again?" When Sora Terauna thought of the 10th Division, which was eaten by the Hu Ben Army during the last Xuzhou Battle, he couldn't help but sweat behind him.
After pondering for a moment, Teruchi Nakanuchi immediately said: "Okabe, immediately generate electricity for the 5th Division, the 108th, the 109th Division, and the 10th Division, so that they must break through the enemy's defense line before sunset today and rush to the 20th Division. They must never let the 20th Division follow the footsteps of the 10th Division. In addition, generate electricity for Tokugawa Yotomi and order him to send fighter jets to support the 20th Division immediately!"
"Hay!" Naosaburo Okabe suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and walked away with a saber carrying a staircase.

Qingdao Airport, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front Army’s Aviation Flight Corps.
The current commander of the Flying Corps, Tokugawa Yotoshi, was teaching knowledge and experience to his subordinates in the airport building. Suddenly, a communications soldier hurriedly ran towards Tokugawa Yotoshi. When he arrived, he suddenly held his feet attentively and saluted him and reported to Tokugawa Yotoshi: "General, call from the Front Command!"
"My!" Tokugawa Yotoshi waved his hand and signaled.
The Japanese correspondent immediately spoke to the telegram: "In view of the fact that the 20th Division was surrounded by heavy Chinese troops in northern Anhui, the headquarters ordered our headquarters to immediately dispatch fighter jets to reinforce the 20th Division."
"Bagaya Road, the painful lessons learned from the last Aviation Battle in the Aicheng are vivid in my mind. Now dispatching fighter planes is tantamount to dying! I must not let you excellent pilots from the Empire die in vain!" Tokugawa Yotoshi was angry when he heard this, and then said: "Communication Army, immediately call the commander of the Terainuchi, saying that our troops were unable to participate in the battle again because of the heavy losses in the last air battle."
ps: Yesterday's chapter should have encircled and annihilated the 20th Division (4). I sent it wrong. There are two more chapters later.
Chapter completed!
