The devil's army attacked Nanguan County and lost more than 2,500 people, such huge casualties made Kitada Sukegawa really unacceptable.

Even if the casualties are so large, the key is that Nanguan County is still in the hands of the Chinese army, which is what Kitada Jiechuan is most annoyed about.

"Baga Ya Road, the hateful Chinese army."

Kitada Sukegawa calmed down his anger a little and asked, "Which unit is supporting the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army?" Who are their commanders? ”

The devil officers shook their heads at the same time, they didn't know anything about the security regiment.

"Report to the brigade commander, the lowly officers are letting the intelligence services investigate ......"

"Bagaya Road, the battle has been fought so far, and you don't even have the information about the other party's troop number, what a bunch of fools!"

"Ha Yi !!"

The devil officers lowered their heads in shame and let Kitada Sukegawa reprimand.

After a while, a devil lieutenant hurried into the ward with a telegram.

Lieutenant Kitada walked up to Kitada Sukegawa and saluted respectfully: "Report to the general, the telegram of Shunji Ikeda, the head of the secret service!" ”

"Hurry up!" Kitada Sukegawa said eagerly.

The Central China Dispatch Army Special Service Agency of the devil has spent a lot of effort, and has now investigated the number of the Chinese army supporting Nanguan County, as well as the detailed information of the commander.

"Report to the general, it is the troops of the Security Regiment who rushed to the aid of Nanguan County, and their commander is Li Hong."

"Li Hong? Security Corps? ”

Kitada Sukegawa thought back to this familiar security regiment in his mind.

"General, this security regiment has just been transferred from China's Second Theater of Operations, not long ago, this unit won the wing flag of our Imperial Japanese Army, and the Kurosawa Brigade was also defeated by the security regiment......"

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Kitada Sukegawa couldn't help but be a little shocked, and there was a hint of jealousy in his surprised expression.

It's not so much that Kitada Sukegawa is afraid of the security team, but that it's more appropriate to say that it's fear.

The prestige and combat effectiveness of the security regiment are very clear to Kitada Sukegawa, although the 37th Brigade is a first-class unit, but it does not have the strength to compete with the security regiment at all.

Before, even the elite Itagaki Division was disabled by the security regiment, and Kitada Sukegawa did not have the courage to fight with the security regiment.

Once the old devil of Itagaki once commented on the terrifying combat effectiveness of the security regiment: It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the security regiment!

Kitada Sukegawa's 37th Brigade has always been arrogant, but compared with the Itagaki 21st Brigade, which is known as the flower of the army, it is not a combat unit of the same grade at all.

Therefore, Kitada Sukegawa had to bow his head in front of Li Hong's security guards and admit the strength of his opponent.

How strong the security regiment is, the battle in Nanguan County is enough to show the difference in strength between the two sides.

Even, Kitada Jiechuan was a little glad that only 2,500 soldiers were lost, and if the whole brigade attacked Nanguan County, I am afraid that the entire brigade would have to be defeated by the security regiment.

At present, with the security regiment firmly guarding Nanguan County, it is almost impossible to break the city.

Kitada Sukegawa thought for a moment, and said solemnly to Lieutenant Devil: "Order all units of the 37th Brigade and the 53rd Infantry Wing not to attack and engage the Chinese defenders in Nanguan County without an order. ”

"Immediately send a telegram to Commander Shunroku Hatata, our attack on Nanguan County was resisted by the security regiment, the combat effectiveness of the security regiment is very strong, not our brigade can be the enemy, I hope that His Excellency the commander can send additional troops......"

"Hayi!"

Lieutenant Kitako wrote down Kitata's password, and immediately afterward, he left the ward to launch a telegram.

Kitada Jiechuan, as the commander-in-chief of the attack on Nanguan County, now encountered Li Hong, a headache, and he did not dare to take it lightly.

Kitada Sukegawa decided to be discharged from the hospital immediately, and despite the dissuasion of other devil officers, he returned to the headquarters with his injuries and held an emergency military meeting overnight.

The 37th Brigade of the Japanese Army is an independent combat brigade, nominally subordinate to the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, but in fact, it is not under the command of the 10th Division, but directly under the command of the Central China Dispatch Army Command.

Because of the previous battles, the 10th Division lost part of its strength, and in order to preserve the integrity of the 10th Division, the little devil temporarily incorporated the 37th Brigade into the 10th Division, which was also a bluff offensive effect of the Japanese army.

Whether it was the Xuzhou area or even the Fifth War Zone, the Chinese defenders knew the power of the 10th Devil's Division, and some generals abandoned the city and fled as soon as they heard about the Isogu Division.

At present, the 10th Isoya Division of the Japanese North China Front is attacking Tengxian with all its might, and the Central China Dispatch Army is responsible for attacking Nanguan County.

……

At night, the Japanese army headquarters in Central China was dispatched.

The commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Shunroku Hatata, received a telegram from the 37 Brigade and the 53 Wing.

At this time, Shunroku Hata did not know the specific battle situation in Nanguan County, as well as the battle damage of the soldiers.

Shunji Ikeda, the head of the secret service, is rushing to the headquarters, and he is going to report the information himself.

When Shunroku Hata learned of the battle losses reported by these two troops attacking Nanguan County, he was incredulous and a little shocked.

"Nani? Not only did Nanguan County not be conquered, but the 37 Brigade and the 53 Wing were converted into 3000 imperial soldiers? Where did the Sichuan army come from such a strong fighting force!? ”

When attacking Nanguan County, the headquarters obtained detailed operational information, and only the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army was guarding Nanguan County, and the opponent's firepower configuration was clear.

As everyone knows, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan army is not bad, but the weapons and equipment are extremely backward.

More than 10,000 imperial soldiers, with sophisticated weapons and equipment, can't even take a single Nanguan County, what kind of stupid and ridiculous war is this fighting?

Shunji Ikeda strode into the headquarters, and he told Shunroku Hata the news of the security group's participation in the war.

Soon, Shunroku Hahata knew why the Beichuan Brigade and the 53rd Wing were defeated, and it turned out that Li Hong's security regiment rushed to the aid of the battle.

"Bagaya Road, Li Hong, the security group, it's Li Hong's big trouble again!"

Shunroku Hata slapped the conference table and walked back and forth in the headquarters with an uncalm expression.

It can be said that Shunroku Hata hata hated Li Hong so much that he couldn't sleep well.

Because Li Hong, the bastard, is too cunning, he deceived the six old devils of Toshiba of a lot of military money, and what is even more fatal is that Li Hong also lured the Kurosawa Brigade into the trap, resulting in the Kurosawa Brigade being almost completely wiped out.

With such a heavy price and loss price, Shunroku Hata couldn't wait to catch Li Hong to cramp his skin and chew his bones.

Hate is hate, but Li Hong has indeed become a big problem for the Japanese army, such a fierce enemy, Hata Junan must deal with it quickly.

Shunji Ikeda said slowly: "Your Excellency, Commander, after a lowly investigation, I have obtained some intelligence information on the weapons and equipment in the hands of the security regiment. ”

"Forgive all for being humble and vain, the security regiment sticks to Nanguan County, and with the combat effectiveness of Li Hongbu, the 37th Brigade and the 53rd Wing will definitely not be able to conquer Nanguan County."

Ikeda's remarks are very affirmative, and he is not pouring cold water on the prestige of the Japanese army, but speaking with intelligence facts.
