Started as a security team, developed into a heavy armored synthesis division

Soon, Shiro Inaba took the telegram from the communications officer and started reading it. He was shocked by the result.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Our Imperial Locust Army has never had a single squadron annihilated. It is absolutely impossible."

Inaba Shiro was so angry that he almost went berserk. When Higashikuni Minoru heard the words "the regiment was annihilated", his eyes bulged. He stood up, snatched the telegram and started reading it.

And then… "Baka!"

After Higashikuni Miyaminoru shouted angrily, he turned around and looked at Sakai Tokutaro with a bad face:

"Sakai, you disappoint me so much!"

After saying this, Prince Toshihiko Higashikuni threw the telegram directly at Sakai's face, then turned around and walked away quickly.

An entire regiment was wiped out. This was the biggest defeat the empire had ever experienced since it launched the holy war. As a prince, he had to handle this matter properly.

Seeing the prince so angry, Sakai had no choice but to pick up the telegram and read it, and then...

"Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!

The Inoki Regiment is a fully-strength field regiment with extremely strong combat capabilities. They are enough to repel two divisions of the Dragon Country Central Army. How could they be completely wiped out?

And we have received intelligence that on the road from Hefei to Anqing, there is only one remnant of the so-called Sichuan Army of Longguo at the Daguan line. Let alone a regiment, even a battalion of our empire can wipe them out.

Therefore, Your Excellency, this telegram is absolutely false, and the Inoki Regiment cannot be completely wiped out."

Sakai was very excited at this moment, so excited that he was still dreaming of being promoted from major general to lieutenant general.

Seeing Sakai's loss of composure, Inaba Shiro did not speak immediately, but waited for a while before reminding him: "Sakai-kun, you are obsessed."

Hearing this, Sakai Tokutaro came back to his senses with a sigh, bowed and said, "Cool me La Sai!"

Inaba Shiro continued, “According to the telegram, the Inoki Regiment moved south along the Anhe Highway at night and was annihilated in Lujiang County.

The only ones capable of annihilating them must be the Dragon Country’s German-equipped ace troops.

In other words, the top leaders of Longguo have discovered the importance of Anhe Highway and have sent troops to guard it?"

"Sikasi, Your Excellency Lieutenant General, why haven't we received any intelligence? Our special high-tech intelligence personnel have already infiltrated the high-level officials of the Dragon Kingdom.

If such an ace division existed, we shouldn't have been kept in the dark about it."

Hearing this, Inaba Shiro began to think, stood up and paced with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, Inaba Shiro thought of something and turned around and said, "Sakai-kun, do you remember the death of Major General Nakajima Mitsuru last month?"

“Of course, Nakajima Mitsuru died in the battle of Sanbing Town in Chao County.

We lost three planes in that battle, and although we later carried out a large-scale bombing of the Sanbing Town, it was just an empty town. "

At this point, Sakai seemed to react: "Your Excellency Lieutenant General, are you saying that this mysterious ace division of the Dragon Kingdom came from Sanbing Town?"

“Yes, that’s the only way.

In the battle of Sanbing Town, they launched a surprise attack without observing the ethics of war, which resulted in the death of a major general of our empire and the death of three plane crashes.

The Long State also published a newspaper report on that incident, saying that it was done by a brigade of the Central Army.

Damn it, it’s clearly a division but they called it a brigade, how shameless.

Moreover, after the conspiracy succeeded, they were afraid of the might of our imperial air force, so they immediately withdrew from Libing Town, moved westward along the Chaohu line, and then stationed on the Anhe Highway in Lujiang.

Then it all makes sense.”

At this point, the analysis of the incident has been very clear, and it has to be said that the IQ of these old devils is still online.

But this is not an ace division, or even a brigade or a regiment, but a battalion of a security regiment. I don’t know if they will be furious when they find out the truth.

"Sakai-kun, go back and guard Shucheng and wait for the order from His Royal Highness the Prince."

Hearing this, Sakai became excited: "Xi Kasi, what about Anhe Highway? If Anhe Highway is not opened..."

In response, Shiro Inaba immediately interrupted Sakai's words:

"Sakai-kun, you only have one infantry regiment at your disposal. Even if you add one of your artillery battalions, do you think you can defeat that ace division?

Sakai-kun, you...you no longer have the ability to launch an attack on the mysterious ace division of the Dragon Kingdom."

At this moment, Sakai realized that he had run out of cards in his hand and no longer had enough to play.

"Hi yi, wakali mashita."

In this way, Tokutaro Sakai left Hefei in disappointment and started to take the bus back to Shucheng.

A few days ago on the 8th, his Sakai Detachment easily captured Shucheng, and he was in high spirits at that time.

And on the 11th, which was yesterday, I was called to Hefei to participate in the pre-war parliament of the Battle of Wuhan.

The focus of the parliament was to use Hefei as a transit center to send various war materials from the north to the south, so the Anhe Highway had to be opened and the Sakai Detachment had to move south along the Anhe Highway.

As a result, an entire squadron was lost due to one mistake.

For Sakai, this was not just the loss of a regiment, but his dream of becoming a lieutenant general.

In just half a month, he would be able to go to the Northeast to serve as a commander, and in another half a year, he would be able to become a lieutenant general of the army and have his own division.

Unfortunately, all of them are gone now, so he became angrier and angrier as he thought about it in the car.

He was so angry that he yelled, "Inoki Kingo, you... bastard!"

Sakai suddenly shouted, scaring the driver next to him so much that he slammed on the brakes.

"Baka! You don't even know how to drive? Baka!"

Clap clap clap clap!

So, there was a lot of banging in the car, and the driver didn't know how many slaps he got.

……

Time unknowingly came to noon, Tiger Mountain.

After several hours of long journey, the people from the third regiment finally returned to Tiger Mountain.

All battalions and companies returned for rest and recuperation, and the first-level combat readiness was lifted.

Of course, there was Ding Shuangxi's Second Battalion, a field artillery company and an anti-aircraft artillery company stationed in Guanchong, with a total number of about 1000 people.

There are not many light and heavy machine guns, just the standard configuration of a battalion, with a total of 30 light machine guns, 30 grenade launchers, 8 81 mortars, and 8 SG-43 small wheeled heavy machine guns.

The field artillery company consisted of four 4mm field guns, four of which were pulled back to Tiger Mountain.

However, the anti-aircraft artillery company's eight Oerlikon 8mm anti-aircraft machine guns were all left in Guanchong. Today, Guanchong is equivalent to the outpost base of Laohushan, and its combat effectiveness is not weak at all.

As for the Type 37 infantry guns and mm anti-tank guns captured this time, due to their small numbers, they were pulled to the Moon Mountain Base and used for training new recruits.

"Captain, Captain Luo of the 116th Regiment is waiting for you."
