War of Resistance: Wipe out a Japanese infantry battalion at the start.

"Commander, our defenders have reported that large numbers of Eighth Route Army troops have appeared in Ji Province and Dongshan Province. They are frantically destroying our railways, roads, and bridges."

"At the same time, they also launched an attack on our reinforcements, which has seriously affected the speed of our reinforcements."

As soon as the Chief of Staff said this, General Terauchi Juichi's expression changed, and a trace of shock and anger appeared on his face: "Baka!"

"Eighth Route Army, Tubalu!"

"I haven't even dealt with you yet, and you're already jumping out to oppose the Empire of Japan, you bastard!!!"

General Terauchi Hisaichi had made all kinds of plans, but he had not expected that the Eighth Route Army would jump out at this time.

"Once I have time, I will kill all these Eighth Route Army soldiers!" General Terauchi Hisaichi said viciously.

Terauchi Hisaichi couldn't believe that if the reinforcements were late, just half a day or a day, he would be completely passive.

After his anger subsided, General Terauchi Hisaichi hurriedly said, "Order the local garrison to strengthen the protection of bridges, railways, and roads. Make sure the roads for the reinforcements are clear."

"Hi Yi!"

The Japanese Chief of Staff nodded, indicating that he understood, and then continued to report: "Secondly, our Mongolian troops stationed in the direction of Yungang City have sent a telegram saying that their main force has been completely wiped out."

"The main force in northern Shanxi was also completely wiped out."

Misfortunes never come singly!

The two pieces of news reported by the Chief of Staff left General Terauchi Hisaichi stunned.

"Nani?!!!"

"how is this possible?"

"One of them has 20,000 or 30,000 men, the other 40,000 or 50,000? They were wiped out before they could even hold out for a day?"

General Terauchi Hisaichi didn't believe it was true. Although he knew that the troops were under great pressure, he didn't expect that the two armies would be wiped out after only one day.

"Hi Yi!"

The Chief of Staff's expression wasn't good either, but in response to General Terauchi Juichi's question, he nodded vigorously and said, "Commander, I double-checked several times after receiving the news."

"Especially in northern Shanxi. The First Army's reinforcements had just arrived, and Chu Feng's troops took advantage of their unstable footing and launched an attack on them."

"After losing over a thousand men and retreating six or seven kilometers, we finally escaped the pursuit of Chu Feng's troops."

"The First Army is now asking, what should they do?"

"The First Army was under tremendous pressure. Not only did they have to face Chu Feng's troops in northern Shanxi, but also the various units of the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Nationalist troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, all of which were attacking them."

"They have already concentrated their forces in various counties and withdrawn from their strongholds."

The Chief of Staff's words made General Terauchi Juichi's expression change again and again: "Bagayaloo!!!"

Finally, after the Chief of Staff finished his introduction, General Terauchi Hisaichi couldn't help but curse out loud. The good mood he had just accumulated disappeared without a trace in the face of this bad news.

"Northern Shanxi is unreliable, the troops stationed in Mongolia are unreliable, damn!!!"

"Waste! Waste!"

"idiot!!!"

“Bagya Road!!!”

After a round of cursing, General Terauchi Juichi fell into silence, and the situation before him became more and more urgent.

"What do you think?"

After more than ten seconds, General Terauchi Juichi looked up at his partner and asked.

"Your Excellency Commander!"

Hearing Terauchi Juichi's question, the Chief of Staff paused for a moment and said, "I think we should make preparations for both scenarios."

"First, we can withdraw our headquarters towards Jinshi or Shanhaiguan."

"Secondly, we must do a good job of defense. Whether we are heading south or north, we must ensure that the passage is open."

At this point, the chief of staff paused, glanced at General Terauchi Hisaichi's expression, and found that it was just a little dark, but he did not stop himself. He knew that the commander was also beginning to get entangled, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued.

"The reason I made these two preparations is that, first, the defeat of the troops in northern Shanxi and the Mongolian garrison will completely free the Chu Feng troops here, whether they are supporting Zhangjiakou or the eastward column."

"According to our intelligence, the main forces in these two places are the 1st and 2nd Brigades of Chu Feng's army, as well as two main regiments, and some local regiments."

"Chu Feng will not withdraw all the troops, because our First Army is still watching covetously, and the headquarters of the Mongolian Army is still there. If we reorganize the county garrison, we can organize thousands or even tens of thousands of troops."

"In that case, the only troops they can mobilize are two brigades. Chu Feng's brigade-level troops have about 10,000 men, which means they have 20,000 main forces."

"These 20,000 troops arriving at the Eastward Column will be a huge reinforcement. Our main force in North China will face increased pressure. If the reinforcements are not delivered in time, they may well cut off our route south."

As he spoke, the Chief of Staff came to the battle map, pointed at these places, and said, "We are concentrating our forces in Jin City because we want to fight a big battle with them."

"As long as we can hold on, once reinforcements arrive, we can launch a pincer attack from the north and south. Combined with the troops from Jin City, we still have a chance of survival."

"But now, the situation is very unfavorable to us. The reinforcements from the south have not arrived yet. Even if the reinforcements from the Kwantung Army in the north arrive, they will only be a drop in the bucket."

Listening to the chief of staff's analysis, General Terauchi Hisaichi's expression became increasingly ugly, and he became more and more conflicted.

Because he had already thought about what the chief of staff said, but he was a little conflicted now, that is, the issue of whether to withdraw or not.

"To retreat or not to retreat, that is the question!"

"Bagya Road!"

After pondering for a long time, General Terauchi Juichi finally made a decision and said, "First, organize the headquarters and retreat towards Tsu City!"

"Forget about going north, but how can I, the commander of the North China Front Army, leave my own territory?"

"At the same time, give the reinforcements a death order, telling them to rush forward at all costs."

At this point, General Terauchi Juichi's eyes fell on the map. Finally, after staring at Baofu for a while, he said, "Send another telegram to the commander of the 110th Division!"

"Right now, they are the closest to Tianjin in all of North China. They have quite a few troops, including a division, two independent brigades, and over 10,000 people who have withdrawn. The total number is nearly 40,000."

"Have them prepared to attack at any time and provide flank support to the Jinshi battlefield."

This time, Terauchi Hisaichi didn't dare to rashly transfer the troops on a large scale over long distances. He was still heartbroken by the loss today.

"Hi Yi!"

The Chief of Staff finally heard what he wanted to hear. He breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately, "I'll give the order right away!"

"well!"

General Terauchi Hisaichi waved to the chief of staff, who bowed, turned around and quickly left.

Watching the Chief of Staff leave, General Terauchi Juichi couldn't help but mutter, "Baga, China is a pit. After this battle is over, I will return to China. Whoever China wants can come!"
