Yizheng gradually appeared in the range of radar map.

After checking, I found that there were only more than four hundred red dots inside, not even a brigade.

In fact, it was just a small market town. The Japanese invaders stationed 400 people, which was already very powerful.

In some small market towns, there may be only a few Japanese invaders.

Nothing said, offensive!

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Violent artillery bombardment.

All mortars were on the battlefield.

Zhang Yong personally directed.

Make sure most of the shells fall on the heads of the Japanese invaders.

The fierce artillery fire caused more than half of the Japanese invaders to be killed or injured in a very short period of time.

Of course, it is impossible for a small market town to have complete fortifications. It cannot withstand the repeated bombing of the 81mm mortar.

"Nani?"

"The main force of the national army?"

The Japanese invaders who were stationed were shocked.

Why did so many national troops suddenly appear?

Such fierce artillery fire must be the main force of the national army.

What are they going to do?

Report to the boss quickly.

The intelligence soon came to the Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Army Akira Muto.

The defenses outside Jinling are directly under the command of the Expeditionary Army Headquarters. They do not take them seriously at all.

At most, there are some sporadic anti-Japanese elements, and even fewer guerrillas.

Therefore, the Japanese invaders stationed around Jinling were very, very comfortable.

But this time, the situation was extraordinary.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, are you really going to counterattack Jinling?"

"impossible."

"But, the insider's intelligence is not saying..."

"If the national army really wanted to counterattack Jinling, how could there be such a huge publicity?"

Muto Aki shook his head slowly and made a quick judgment.

This matter is deceitful.

There was a lot of controversy in Yangzhou City.

They were proclaiming everywhere that they would counterattack Jinling and recruiting in a serious manner.

But not many people signed up. They all felt it was impossible.

How could he believe Akira Muto?

This matter is definitely a scam.

The problem is that he couldn't see what real purpose was to reach the hidden one behind this matter.

What exactly should the national army conquered Yangzhou do?

Frown.

I can't figure it out.

Finally, I came to see Nishio Shuzuo to clarify my doubts.

Nishio Suzuo said coldly: "It's just a clumsy trick of the Chinese. They want to lure the tiger away from the mountain and attack the east and west."

"The commander means Hankou?" Muto Akira gradually reacted.

"It must be Zhang Yong who is behind the scenes."

"Commander, what do you mean is that Zhang Yong deliberately spreads his news about Yangzhou, hoping to focus his attention around Jinling?"

"Yes. I suspect that Zhang Yong has attempted to attack Hankou in large numbers."

"So, Zhang Yong's real purpose is actually to recover Hankou?"

"right!"

Nishio Suzusao answered positively.

He had long seen Zhang Yong's trick, but he was better at his own skills.

The Kuomintang army made great wars in Yangzhou and promoted everywhere that it would fight back against Jinling. The only purpose was to hope that the Japanese army would draw the main force back.

Draw Japanese invaders from Hankou or Jiujiang and come back to set up defenses around Jinling.

In this way, the Japanese army around Hankou and Jiujiang were weakened.

but!

How could you be fooled?

Zhang Yong's poor acting skills can be seen at a glance. He, Nishio Shoto, did the opposite.

"Your Excellency Commander..."

"I will never be fooled!"

"Tie!"

Akira Muto said he understood.

It just doesn’t have to worry about the national army from Yangzhou.

On the contrary, Okamura Yasuji and Hata Shunruo should be reminded to be careful.

That Zhang Yong must have been hiding in the dark at this moment and staring at them.

If they are a little careless, they will be bitten by Zhang Yong.

"Report……"

"Yizheng lost contact..."

A staff member arrived quietly and reported the latest battle situation.

Akira Muto didn't take it to heart.

There were only four or five hundred Japanese troops stationed in Yizheng. It was normal for them to be eliminated.

However, the next stronghold, Liuhe, had a full Japanese infantry regiment, which was affiliated with the newly formed 56th Division.

Among all the newly formed divisions starting with 50, the 56th Division has relatively strong combat power.

There are many re-recruiting soldiers in the village and are more proficient in skills.

The national army from Yangzhou will definitely be dismayed when encountering Liuhe.

At least it can hold the national army back for a long time.

"Order the Kono corps stationed in Liuhe to stay in the town."

"Tie!"

The staff officer turned around and sent the order.

Soon, the order came to Liuhe.

The Kono United team stationed here, and the team leader was named Nagasaki Kono.

"hold fast?"

"Not you attack?"

Nagasaki Kono felt that the dispatcher's order might be wrong.

Isn’t it a better choice to attack against thousands of national troops? Why should we persevere?

Didn't figure it out.

However, the command must be executed.

This is an order from the Expeditionary Command!

Others are much higher than him.

"Report!"
