    Wanjialing. Songpu Division Headquarters.

    Matsuura Junrokuro looked solemnly at the military map in front of him that annoyed him, with an angry look and language expression on his face.

    It has been seven days since we marched south to De'an. As a result, instead of completing the planned strategic goals, our troops were besieged by tens of thousands of Chinese troops in the vast mountains, unable to advance or retreat.

    If the environment were changed, Matsuura Junrokuro might not care!

    Although there are a lot of disappointed enemy troops, Matsuura Junrokuro doesn't care. The Imperial Japanese Army is an elite force who has fought many battles. If they can't defeat it, they can still protect themselves.

    ¡°However, now his troops are besieged on several large mountains covering an area of ??more than ten square kilometers. There are Chinese troops blocking them from the front, and they cannot find their way out of the mountains from behind.

    In fact, long before the encirclement of the Chinese army, Matsuura Junrokuro had ordered the division search team to return to the original route to find a retreat to the Jiujiang front line.

    The result made him very dissatisfied. The search team got lost after entering the mountainous area. Not to mention finding the way back to Jiujiang, it was even difficult to find the division headquarters. They wandered around the mountainous area for a day and a half before returning to the headquarters.  .

    And this is just a search team of a few hundred people. Even if a problem is discovered, it can be diverted in time. But if it is the entire division, it will be troublesome. Therefore, at this time, the Matsuura division is blocked in front and has no way behind.  The retreat is a bit dangerous.

    The most important thing is that since they entered the mountainous area of ??northern Jiangxi, they found that there were enemies everywhere. Almost all the dangerous places around them were occupied by the Chinese army. They could only wander between mountains.

    ¡°And because the mountainous areas of northern Jiangxi are high in mountains and densely forested, the Chinese army is familiar with the terrain and often takes advantage of the terrain to ambush them.

    Often the enemy cannot even be seen, only to see artillery shells and grenades falling from the sky, blowing up a large area and causing heavy casualties to the troops.

    However, due to their containment, a large number of Chinese troops were attracted to the De'an front line, so the imperial army's offensive on the Jiujiang front line made considerable progress.  Moreover, His Excellency Neji Okamura also mentioned in the telegram yesterday that the main force of the 9th Division is about to arrive on the battlefield and their mission is almost completed.

    In addition, after Mr. Okamura learned that their maps were inaccurate, he had collected several latest maps for them through special means, and was planning to send a plane to airdrop them. As long as new maps are available, the next step will be fine.  Too much to do.

    "However, Mr. Okamura asked them to persist for another five days. After five days, either reinforcements will go south or they can withdraw to Jiujiang.

    Matsuura Junrokuro analyzed it carefully and found that they still have more than 16,000 people and sufficient ammunition. It should not be difficult to hold on for five days.

    But just when Matsuura Junrokuro was about to order the troops to continue to stand still and wait for reinforcements, he was caught off guard by a piece of bad news - Tanaka Shoichi was killed in action.

    Tanaka Seido is the captain of the 113th Infantry Regiment, with the rank of colonel. He is Junroku Matsuura's most effective general. He takes the lead in every battle and has brilliant records.

    But Matsuura Junrokuro did not expect that such a veteran of the battlefield would be killed like this. According to the news from the front, Tanaka Shoichi was hit head-on by a shell, and his body was directly blown to pieces, including the whole body.  None remained.

    After the war, the soldiers of the 113th Regiment only found one of his legs and one arm on the battlefield. His death was extremely miserable.

    Before Matsuura Junrokuro could recover from the news, bad news came again from the front line. On September 25, Colonel Ichikawa Yozo, captain of the 145th Infantry Regiment, was wounded.

    Although Ichikawa Yozo was not a brave general, he was very careful and had his own skills in combat command. Unexpectedly, he was seriously injured just a few days after entering the mountainous area of ??northern Jiangxi.

    ¡°It is said that Ichikawa Yozo¡¯s abdomen was cut by shrapnel, which was more than ten centimeters long, and his intestines spilled out.

    Although military medical officers had given him emergency treatment, the climate in the mountainous area of ??northern Jiangxi was abnormal, so Ichikawa Hiroshi developed symptoms of high fever shortly after the operation.

    From Matsuura Junrokuro's many years of experience, he naturally knows that Ichikawa Yozo's wound is inflamed, and there is really no specific medicine for such inflammation at the moment. He can only rely on Ichikawa Yozo himself. If he can survive it, he may one day return to the battlefield.  , otherwise, this might be his burial place.

    " Two captains were lost in just a few days, which made Matsuura Junrokuro very sad. After all, a good subordinate is very rare, and he lost two at once.

    In addition, there have been many casualties in the past few days, including the wing adjutant Major Takeo Motoyama and the first battalion of the 131st wing.??Major Akio Sazo was also wounded, while the second battalion captain, Major Tachibana Fukushima, and the third battalion captain, Major Utsumi Nobuo, were shot dead two days ago.

    As for the squadron leaders and squad leaders, more than dozens of people were killed or injured, and the losses were not small.

    Due to the heavy losses, Matsuura Junrokuro's confidence in waiting for help was shaken. Later, after consulting Okamura Neiji, Matsuura Junrokuro immediately decided to break out immediately and pull the battle line to the Huimaling line in the north of De'an.

    It just so happened that at this time, the Corps Headquarters also airdropped the latest combat map to the 106th Division Headquarters. After identifying the direction, Matsuura Junrokuro chose the breakthrough point at the Zhanggushan position held by Feng Shengfa's 58th Division.

    The 58th Division belongs to the 74th Army, which was established in Zhejiang on September 1, 1937 and was composed of the 51st Division and the 58th Division.  The army has a total of 8 regiments with 21,000 people, and the backbone is the 58th Division.

    Yu Jishi, the first commander of the 74th Army, graduated from the first phase of Huangpu, was born in Fenghua, Zhejiang, and was Chiang Kai-shek's nephew. He was a standard direct descendant.

    There are many factions in the Kuomintang army, with the Central Army and the Zhejiang Army being the most prominent.  The 74th Army is both the Central Army and the Zhejiang Army. It can be regarded as the direct line of the direct line. It is the most dazzling star among the "aces" of the Kuomintang. It is known as the "Anti-Japanese Iron Army", "Hu Ben Division", and "Yulin Army", and has won many awards from the Kuomintang.  The highest reward is "Flying Tiger Flag".

    Of course, the reason why the 74th Army is famous is not only related to its noble origin, but also to its outstanding military exploits on the anti-Japanese battlefield. From its establishment to the present, the army has participated in almost all major battles of frontal resistance, and has bravely challenged the Chinese army many times.  The main force carried the heavy burden and launched a desperate fight with the Japanese army.

    The abnormal behavior of the Matsuura Division was seen by Xue Yue and others. With Xue Yue's command level, it is not difficult to see that the dog-like troops are trying to break through, so they must be intercepted.

    But there are roads all around Wanjialing. From which direction will the Japs break out and which troops should be sent to dig in? This puts Xue Yue in trouble!

    There are many troops under the First Corps, and no fewer than three corps have been named and praised many times by the Military Commission, but they are all direct troops.

    Xue Yue agrees with the combat effectiveness of these direct troops. After all, these troops are not comparable to other troops in terms of the quality of their soldiers or their weapons and equipment.

    But Xue Yue, an officer of these direct armies, has no favorable impression at all. These unruly guys almost regard it as a routine to disobey orders on the battlefield. Not to mention him as the commander of the corps, even the orders of the Military Commission are sometimes treated as child's play by them.  .

    More importantly, even though they knew that these bastards disobeyed orders and even caused extremely serious consequences, ordinary people had no way to deal with them. Xue Yue could not forget the Battle of Lanfeng three months ago.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
