The Fifth Division was worthy of being the elite among the Japanese army. In a very short period of time, all the units were defeated, and even the division headquarters was severely damaged. However, under the order of their commander Shi, they quickly surrounded Zhao Tiezhu and cut off his retreat.

"I command..."

Division Commander Sakahara now regained his energy and immediately ordered his men to attack from all directions. However, before he could finish his words, something new happened.

"Reporting to the division commander, the Changchuan Regiment on the west side has been attacked fiercely by an army whose attack force is no less than that of the army we are surrounding. They can no longer hold on."

Hearing his men's words, Division Commander Itagaki was as surprised as if he had swallowed a fly. He originally thought that his men had already opened up the situation and would be able to immediately wipe out the incoming army. Although his division headquarters had been wiped out, if he could keep this army alive, he would have given an explanation to both his superiors and his subordinates. How could he give an explanation now?

But unexpectedly, just when they were about to take action, another army came out from the airport, and less than half an hour had passed since the Changchuan League returned to defend. What could they do in this half hour?

Although the Changchuan Regiment lost some people in the battle, it was still an infantry regiment of more than 2,000 people. How could it not hold out for even half an hour?

"Damn it! I don't care what method he uses, we must stop the invading enemy."

Division Commander Itagaki said angrily that according to the previous combat plan, the infantry regiment under his command should be comparable to an infantry division of Longguo. Now an army of unknown size has arrived. Can't you hold on for half an hour?

After receiving the order from the division commander, the communicator was about to convey the order. The Fifth Division encountered many adversities on the battlefield, but was basically able to solve them all. It is also an army with historical contributions.

But today was destined to be their bad luck. Just as this guy returned to the communications team, the second telegram arrived, saying that Captain Changchuan had died...

More than 2,000 of his men were scattered, of whom more than 900 were killed in the battle. The rest fled towards the camps of other armies, and some were still being pursued.

The communicator didn't know how to report. He looked at the watch and found that only eight minutes had passed since his last report. In other words, the Changchuan League collapsed after only half an hour and eight minutes of fighting.

Although it was hard to believe such a thing, he still trotted all the way to the division commander. This important news had to be reported immediately without a second's delay.

For a full half minute, no one in the entire command center made a sound. These people didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of them. In their opinion, this was simply impossible. The Changchuan Regiment was the army of the Fifth Division Headquarters, and it was also famous in history. It was not recruited temporarily from the Northeast.

According to Division Commander Sakahara, this army would be the main force attacking the airport. Now it has been defeated, and there are only a few hundred remnants left?

"Reporting to the division commander, the 72nd Army, which is surrounded, is now converging with the invading enemy. The two sides are now less than a thousand meters apart."

Division Commander Sakahara felt that his brain was not enough, but just because you are in a daze here, it does not mean that things have stopped. This matter is still developing, and other surrounding armies are still continuing to attack.

"Stop them. Order the surrounding troops to send out the death squads at all costs. Send out all the death squads and stop them at all costs."

The combat staff here were all selected temporarily, and most of them were deputies from various units. There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the combat staff from the division headquarters were all dead. They were also veterans of the Fifth Division and had followed Commander Shi for quite some time. They had never seen the division commander behave so badly.

Of course, it is normal if you think about it carefully. The division commander disregards his image so much because we were defeated too quickly. He originally wanted to wipe out the surrounded army. Although he didn't know what the number was, they were so elite that killing them would also be a blow to the 72nd Army.

But we didn't expect that the enemy knocked out two of our fangs as soon as we showed our strength. Now an equally powerful army has arrived. If we let them join forces and rampage through the Fifth Division's position, we don't know how much loss we will suffer. We came to Tianjin to make achievements, not to give ourselves as gifts to the 72nd Army.

"Sekiguchi-kun, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the front line. Integrate all the surrounding troops. We must stop them. No matter how great the losses, we cannot allow these two armies to meet. Also, have the men of the 27th Division advance first to give our troops time to prepare."

Division Commander Sakahara pulled out a person next to him. This person was the deputy chief of staff of the 5th Division and also the junior brother of Division Commander Itagaki. He was considered the most trusted person. At this moment, everyone around him was useless. In the eyes of this division commander, most of them were already confused, but his junior brother was the only one who was still capable.

"Ha Yi, I will go there immediately. Your Excellency, the division commander, please pay attention to your own safety and do not wander around. You must stay around the cavalry brigade."

Guankou Tong nodded. This guy had been watching until now, and he was not afraid at all. He finally met the prostitute of the 72nd Army. It happened that the elite troops of the two countries' armies also met on the battlefield. Let's see who is more powerful.

Seeing Colonel Sekiguchi leave just like that, Division Commander Sakahara breathed a sigh of relief. His junior fellow apprentice had always been very capable.

The others around him also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there was a legend about Colonel Sekiguchi in their army. It was said that during a training exercise against the Junkers, Colonel Sekiguchi's army was the only one to win, while the other six Japanese armies all failed. Of course, that was on the training ground. What was the actual situation? That would be seen in the present moment.

Currently, there are more than 20,000 people in the two divisions around Zhao Tiezhu's army. Behind the guard battalion of the first division, there are three infantry battalions with nearly 4,000 people gathered. Even if Zhao Tiezhu and the guard battalion of the first division join forces, there are nearly 25,000 people in the surrounding troops. It is not so easy to break out.
