During the War of Resistance Against Japan: After being scattered at Cangyunling, he brought back a

This will wipe out all opposition forces in northwestern Shanxi and crush the so-called Chinese soldiers by undermining their national pride!

Kill two birds with one stone!

"Have you received any news from the Osaka Division?" After a moment of contemplation, Yoshio Shinotsuka asked in a deep voice.

The Osaka Division was an indispensable part of this battle!

You should know that nowadays, the so-called Eighth Route Army of China and the Jin-Sui Army are all using some kind of "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers Formation".

This might not determine the outcome of the war, but strategically it slowed down the empire's expansion!

Furthermore, it consumed a large number of the Empire's artillery shells!

We absolutely cannot allow them to continue like this!

"Reporting to General Xiaozhong!"

"No news has been received yet!" the deputy shook his head and said.

"Report! General Shinotsuka!"

"A declaration of war from the newly formed Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army of China!"

Just as Yoshio Shinotsuka was about to lose his temper with an embarrassed expression, the communications officer's voice suddenly rang out!

Following closely behind, a messenger jogged up to Yoshio Shinotsuka, panting heavily.

"Nani?"

"A declaration of war telegram?" Yoshio Shinotsuka asked instinctively, unable to believe it.

And it's the New Third Regiment?

Which unit is this? But it's clearly a regimental-level unit!

"Hai!"

The correspondent nodded quickly.

"idiot?"

"Is this what the Chinese call cunning?" Yoshio Shinotsuka asked expressionlessly.

It was simply unbelievable that a regiment would send a declaration of war to the Imperial First Army!

The reason for this is simply to waste time for the empire to sweep through!

"General!"

"Is this New Third Regiment the same Eighth Route Army unit that annihilated Lieutenant Colonel Yamazaki at the Yushu Ridge location?" At this moment, the deputy suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Then find out their location!"

Yoshio Shinotsuka said with a gloomy expression.

"Hai!" the deputy said, quickly standing up.

Just getting ready to leave the command center!

"Report! General Shinotsuka!"

"General Kitano's... telegram requesting assistance!" the communications officer's voice rang out again.

"Nani?"

"A telegram requesting assistance?" Yoshio Shinotsuka suddenly stood up, his face filled with disbelief.

"Hai!"

"Read it quickly!" Yoshio Shinotsuka said with an embarrassed expression.

"Hai!"

"The Osaka Division was ordered to arrive at Aoyama Town, where it suffered an unprecedented attack. This was an extremely powerful Eighth Route Army force..."

The messenger quickly read the telegram aloud!

Meanwhile, in the command room, it was so quiet that only the sound of everyone's heartbeats could be heard!

"Bagya Road!"

"That piece of trash, Masao Kitano!"

"idiot!"

After the messenger finished speaking, Yoshio Shinotsuka could no longer hold back and roared with bloodshot eyes.

"General Shinotsuka!"

"A 30,000-strong Eighth Route Army..."

"That's unlikely!" After a pause, the deputy cautiously spoke up.

After all, according to General Kitano's telegram, this was a powerful army with well-developed heavy firepower, complete tactics, and extremely strong combat quality!

After several engagements, the Osaka Division suffered heavy casualties!

The First Brigade Artillery Regiment was destroyed, and the Eighth Regiment was completely annihilated!

The entire Osaka Division was divided and surrounded, and the Osaka Division was losing men every moment!

But is this possible?

Keep in mind that the entire Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi only numbered around 60,000 to 70,000!

Moreover, its main force is resisting the Empire's Third Division!

Where are the remaining 30,000 troops?

"Did you specify which Eighth Route Army unit it was?" After a pause, Yoshio Shinotsuka asked the communications officer expressionlessly.

"Reporting to General Xiaozhong!"

"It looks like the New Third Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in China!"

After a pause, the communications officer hesitated before speaking.

"Nani?"

"The New Third Regiment?" Yoshio Shinotsuka felt a sudden dizziness.

Did one regiment defeat the Osaka Division?

Or was it a regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

"Ha...hai!"

"How is this possible!" Yoshio Shinotsuka roared.

"General Shinotsuka!"

"Could this be General Kitano's excuse?" After a pause, the deputy couldn't help but ask.

"impossible!"

"The Osaka Division has many problems, but those are historical issues!"

"Masao Kitano is fine!"

"Moreover, the New Third Regiment has already sent a telegram!" Yoshio Shinotsuka said, his face ashen.

"General! You mean...?"

"The Osaka Division is highly likely?" The deputy swallowed hard in disbelief.

"It's not just a possibility!"

"The Osaka Division is finished!"

Yoshio Shinotsuka shook his head.

He knew Kitano Masao very well; he was a proud soldier of the Empire at heart, and he would never send a telegram for help unless absolutely necessary!

Moreover, Masao Kitano is ambitious, and he will not be content with the Osaka Division continuing like this!

Therefore, there can only be one outcome!

That means Masao Kitano is finished!

The Osaka Division was also wiped out!

Therefore, this telegram from the New Third Regiment foreshadowed the final outcome for the Osaka Division!

"General!"

"A regimental-level unit of 30,000 men!"

"This..." the deputy said with a bitter expression.

And they were Eighth Route Army soldiers!

That seems highly unlikely!

"Report! General Shinotsuka!"
