    What's more, the armored vehicles equipped by the Japanese army only have two heavy machine guns on them, not even small-caliber artillery, and do not have any anti-tank capabilities at all.

    "A telegram came from Captain Kameda, saying that the position has been lost and they will fight to the death to stop the enemy." A staff officer said to Edogawa Junpei in the armored vehicle.

    Hearing this, Edogawa Junpei immediately opened the cover of the armored vehicle, then stuck his head out, used a telescope, and looked at their sides.

    At the end of his sight, he could see a black line approaching them.

    "The enemy's armored forces are still approaching our army!" Edogawa Junpei said, looking at the armored forces over there.

    "Do you want to speed up the march?" the staff officer in the car asked.

    Edogawa Junpei said: "Speed ??up the march? Unless we lose all our baggage and wounded, we can't go faster."

    Having said this, he immediately said: "Send a telegram to the Commander-in-Chief. Tell him that the support operation has completely failed and that we have entered the enemy's trap.

    At the same time, he was reminded that the enemy may have other troops that will bypass us and directly attack Hohhot, which has an empty defense at this time. He must be prepared for battle and not let the enemy take advantage of it.  "

    The staff officer nodded, and then immediately sent a telegram to the commander-in-chief who was staying in Hohhot at this time.

    When Kitano Hiranobu received this telegram, on a grassland less than 30 kilometers away from Hohhot, a cavalry squad of five Japanese military policemen was conducting reconnaissance nearby.

    They have been patrolling the surrounding area for several days. Originally, they mainly patrolled a range of about 20 kilometers around Hohhot, but now it has expanded to a range of 30 kilometers.

    Continuous horseback inspections made these Japanese cavalry a little tired.  They galloped on the grassland and soon reached a slope.

    "Go take a look above. The view over there is better." The captain of the Japanese cavalry team shouted.

    After finishing speaking, he took the lead and rushed up the gentle slope with a few cavalrymen.

    They were very fast and rushed directly to the top of the hillside in less than two minutes.

    But the moment the Japanese team rushed to the top of the hillside, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

    They saw dozens of artillery pieces they had never seen before neatly placed in the depression formed at the bottom of the hillside.  Around the artillery, there were a large number of busy soldiers.

    In addition, they could also see that there were a large number of ruts left by cars and tanks on the grass, spreading to both wings.

    "Let's go! Let's go now!" the Japanese squad leader immediately shouted to the team members behind him.

    But at this moment, gunfire rang out.

    Several Japanese cavalrymen were knocked off their horses by dense bullets in the blink of an eye.  There was only one Japanese cavalryman who was lucky enough not to be knocked off his horse by a bullet.

    He waved the riding crop in his hand desperately, spanked the horse's butt, and rushed away from the hillside.

    This Japanese cavalry didn¡¯t even dare to look back, as if he would be targeted by the enemy¡¯s machine gun if he even looked back.

    Behind the Japanese army, the sound of motorcycle engines could be heard.  The sound got closer and closer, until the Japanese cavalry turned his head to look and realized that four or five motorcycles had surrounded him.

    "idiot!!"

    The Japanese cavalry roared and raised his rifle, wanting to shoot them.

    But at this moment, the soldier on the back seat of the motorcycle had already raised the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger.

    "boom!!"

    The sound of gunfire echoed across the grassland, because it was too empty here, and the sound of gunfire could no longer be heard after traveling for several kilometers.

    This Japanese cavalry squad disappeared silently on the grassland, unable to pass on the most important information to their headquarters.

    What the Japanese army just discovered was the howitzer of the Second Howitzer Regiment of the Kagel Combat Division. They had just arrived here in the early morning and had completed the layout of the artillery position.

    On the flanks of this howitzer regiment, there are one tank regiment, the fourth tank regiment and the fifth tank regiment under the command of Si Yu.  In total, there are hundreds of tanks and various types of combat vehicles, as well as accompanying infantry units.

    In addition to these two tank regiments, there are also?The 4th Motorized Rifle Regiment and the 5th Motorized Rifle Regiment, plus two infantry regiments.

    The total number of several troops, totaling tens of thousands, has begun to advance towards Hohhot from three directions.

    Tens of thousands of troops appeared on the outskirts of Hohhot. They were not discovered by the cavalry until they were less than ten kilometers away from the city of Hohhot.

    It was not the Japanese cavalry unit, and their traces were not discovered in time.  But I just discovered that before I could send a telegram back, I was chased by motorcycles or cavalry and eliminated them in advance.

    Only a Japanese cavalry team discovered their traces from a distance, and then quickly sent a telegram to the Japanese headquarters in the rear.

    Kitano Hiranobu looked at the two telegrams sent and felt a little dumbfounded.

    The first one was a telegram sent by Edogawa Junpei, reminding him to strengthen the defense of Hohhot and the enemy might attack them.

    The second letter was from the peripheral cavalry units, who discovered the enemy armored units attacking them.

    The two telegrams placed together have a sense of black humor.

    In any case, the second telegram at least confirmed Edogawa Junpei¡¯s guess, although the result of this guess was not what Kitano Shinpei wanted to see.

    "Order all troops to enter defensive positions immediately, and at the same time send a telegram to His Excellency Yoshio Shinozuka, asking him to mobilize at least one division to support our operations. Otherwise, the enemy is likely to break through Hohhot." Kitano Heishanbu  ordered.

    "Yes! Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief!!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
