The staff officer opened the telegram and read: "Early this morning, the 1st Regiment of the 367th Brigade under the Wuhan Garrison Command completely annihilated the 40th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese 10th Division in the northern suburbs of Hankou!"
"What?!"
"One regiment wiped out an entire infantry regiment?"
When Wu Qiwei and Shang Zhen heard this, they immediately took a breath of cold air.
Zhang Lingfu also sighed in his heart. Their First Corps fought tooth and nail to win the battle at Wanjialing. Although it was said that more than 10,000 Japanese troops were annihilated and the result was greater than that of the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, the number of troops invested exceeded 100,000. people, and the number of casualties exceeded 20,000!
In comparison, the Wuhan Garrison Command won too easily!
At that moment, Zhang Lingfu said to Xue Yue: "Chief Commander, if we let the main force of the Eleventh Army pass and let them join the Second Army in Wuhan, then the Wuhan battle will be a stalemate at best, but if we can drag the Eleventh Army On the battlefield of De'an, with the combined efforts of the Fifth Theater and the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, there is still a chance to defeat the little Japanese's Second Army!"
Xue Yue's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Let's do this, mobilize both the 74th Army and the 29th Army! If Okamura Ning wants to pass through Xiushui Wu'an, there is only one way, and that is to use our corpses Step over!"
"Yes!" Zhang Lingfu stood at attention and responded with a bang!
¡¡
In Nanjing, Central China Front Army Headquarters.
General Hata Shunroku, commander of the Central China Front, has received a battle report that the 40th Infantry Regiment was completely wiped out!
As the commander of the front army commanding more than 500,000 troops, Shunroku Hata did not care about the loss of a mere regiment. Previously, the 106th Division was almost wiped out on the De'an battlefield. He did not say much and even encouraged Oka. Cun Ningji said a few words, one sentence, he only cared about the results, not the process.
But there are some things that Shunroku Hata cannot ignore!
Hata Shunroku said to Kawabe Shozo, Chief of Staff of the Central China Front: "Kawabe-kun, what do you think?"
Kawabe Shozo said: "Your Excellency, General, the 40th Infantry Regiment was completely wiped out. This is indeed regrettable, but fortunately, the regiment flag was not captured by the China Army. This is also a blessing among misfortunes!"
Hata Shunroku frowned and said, "Kawabe-kun, that's not what I asked."
After a pause, Shunroku Hata said again: "Didn't you discover anything from it?"
"Discovered?" Hebian Zhengsan said with a slight frown, "As for any discoveries, I think that the various divisions under the Second Army seem to have underestimated the enemy. The 40th Infantry Regiment was wiped out so easily. It is probably the same. Because the commander of the unit, Xi Datiao, underestimated the enemy and lacked enough vigilance!"
"Soga!" Shunroku Hata nodded, "I think so too!"
After a pause, Shunroku Hata continued: "So, it is necessary to remind His Highness Nakihiko!"
"Hai!" Hebian Zhengsan nodded fiercely, and then said to a major staff officer standing next to him, "Call the Second Army Headquarters immediately and tell them to be more vigilant! Don't underestimate the enemy again!"
"Hai!" The major staff officer nodded suddenly and turned around.
Shunroku Hata asked again: "Kawabe-kun, when will the 27th Division arrive in western Zhejiang?"
For the Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese base camp organized a group of three-unit garrison divisions. There were six in total, five of which were organized in early April, including the 15th, 17th, and 22nd. The division has even been deployed on the battlefield in Wuhan, taking on security tasks in Henan and Anhui.
But the formation of the 27th Division was delayed.
This also affected the operations of the Eleventh Army to a certain extent.
The Eleventh Army was not making good progress on the De'an battlefield. The 23rd Infantry Brigade of the 18th Division, which was originally used to guard western Zhejiang, was transferred out and formed into an Ueno detachment to rush to the De'an battlefield.
"If it weren't for the delay in forming the 27th Division for several months, the entire 18th Division could be mobilized this time, and the chance of winning the Battle of De'an would be greatly increased.
"The 27th Division has already set off from Tokyo, and it is estimated that it will take about ten days to reach western Zhejiang!" After a pause, Kawabe Shozo said again, "However, General, I have an idea. In fact, there is a branch of the 18th Division. It is enough for the 35th Infantry Brigade to take on the security mission in western Zhejiang!"
Shunroku Hata said in a deep voice: "You mean to directly transfer the 27th Division to the De'an battlefield?"
"Hai!" Hebian Zhengsan said with a pause, "General, you have a clear warning!"
"Okay." Shunroku Hata adopted Shozo Kawabe's suggestion and said, "It's indeed not a good thing that the Battle of De'an has been delayed like this, so let's let it goThe 27th Division was incorporated into the Eleventh Army! Tell Okamura-kun again to annihilate De'an's enemies as soon as possible, and then outflank Changsha and cut off the southward retreat of the Chinese army on the Wuhan battlefield! "
"Hai!" said Zheng Sandu by the river, "General, you are wise!"

On the railway line from Xiaogan to Hankou, the brigade of the 10th Division is marching southward.
The 10th Division was organized in Himeji, so it was also called the Himeji Division. It was one of the seventeen permanent divisions organized during the Meiji period. It had four infantry regiments, plus troops, baggage, cavalry, and Each field artillery regiment has a regiment, with a full strength of more than 25,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is very strong!
As the pioneer of the Second Army, Dongjiu Nianyan prepared an additional independent mountain artillery regiment and a tank brigade for the 10th Division.
Therefore, even though an infantry regiment has just been lost and an infantry brigade has been deployed to guard Xiaoxian, the strength of the 10th Division still exceeds 35,000 people!
More than 35,000 personnel, more than 7,000 horses, thousands of carriages, more than 100 trucks, more than 50 tanks, and more than 100 cannons of various calibers formed a rolling iron stream along the Following the Ping-Han Railway and the highway on one side of the railway line, it slowly drove towards Hankou.
When the 10th Division Chief of Staff Cho Tsutsuki came over, Yoshio Shinozuka was holding a saber and standing on a hill next to the railway line, staring at the march of the 10th Division with a gloomy expression.
"Division commander!" Tsubuzaki walked up behind Yoshio Shinozuka, put his feet back and stood at attention before saying.
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Die Bujiajun, is this a telegram from His Highness?"
"Hai!" Di Bujiagui paused slightly and said in a deep voice, "His Highness reminds us that we must be more vigilant and never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy again. Tragedies like the 40th Infantry Regiment will never be allowed to happen again!"
"Soga!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded lightly and said, "Immediately send His Highness's telegram to all infantry regiments so that they will pay attention to it!"
"Hai!" Di Bujiagui nodded heavily and handed the telegram to the staff officer behind him, gesturing for him to distribute it.
Yoshio Shinozuka breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Ji Bu Jiajun, not far ahead is Hankou. Our 10th Division is finally going to fight Zhong Yi, the legendary enemy of the empire!"
