Meanwhile, in a large cabin of the cruiser Podocar.

Yanagawa Heisuke had already summoned a large group of officers to summarize after the war began.

These Japanese officers included a colonel and a minor officer, but most of them were lieutenants. One of them was even hanging his arms and looked shocked on his face.

As the chief of staff of the 10th Army, Tanabe Moribu was the first to report: "Commander, the Guoqi Detachment has six infantry squadrons, and three other infantry squadrons were severely damaged; the Sixth Division had three infantry squadrons and severely damaged; the 18th Division had six infantry squadrons and severely damaged!"

Yanagawa Heisuke asked with a dark face: "How many casualties are there in total?"

Tianbian Shengwu Hayi said, "More than 2,100 people were killed and missing, and more than 1,800 people were injured!"

"Baga!" Hearing this number, Yanagawa Heisuke's face immediately twitched. In just one day, a corps were killed and killed in the 10th Army! The loss was far beyond his expectations!

Yanagawa Heisuke expected a tough battle at Kinshanwei, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult!

What made Yanagawa Heisuke even more embarrassing or unacceptable was that the defenders on the shore had only half of the battalion!

If the defenders on the shore had a division or even an army, wouldn’t the 10th Army never reach the shore?

After a long time, Yanagawa Heisuke finally suppressed his anger and said, "Tabe-kun, what happened on the shore?"

Tianbian Shengwu's eyes immediately fell on the face of the lieutenant with his arms hanging. The lieutenant quickly stood up, bowed to Tianbian Shengwu, and then rumbled heavily.

Tanabe Moetake said to Yanagawa Heisuke: "Commander, Abe Kame II is the captain of the third team of the Fourth Squadron of the First Infantry Brigade of the Fukuyama United, and is also the only survivor of the first rushing troops!"

"Abe Kaguji? I've heard of you!" Yanagawa Heisuke said, "You are the famous spear lieutenant of the Fukuyama United! I heard that during the Battle of Xinkou, you used your spear to kill eighteen Chinese soldiers in an assault!"

"Hayi!" Abe Kaguji bowed deeply and said in panic, "Let the Commander laugh!"

Yanagawa Heisuke waved his hand and said, "I have heard people say that your spear never leaves you, where is the spear?"

Abe Kaguji showed shame on his face and said, "My spear is already lost on the shore."

"Sodes." Yanagawa Heisuke nodded slightly and said, "Tanabay said, you are the only survivor of the first group of 720 imperial warriors who came ashore. That is to say, you participated in all the battles from beginning to end, so now can you tell me how you lost these few landing battles?"

"Hayi!" Abe Kaguji paused heavily, and then said several battles from beginning to end.

After listening to Abe Kaguji's account, Yanagawa Heisuke Kawadabe Moetake couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

Yanagawa Heisuke said sternly: "I really didn't expect that there was such an excellent commander in the Chinese army!"

"Hayi!" Tanabe Moriwu said deeply, "The first time the Imperial Army failed to seize the beach because of carelessness. There is nothing much to say. The second time the beach is defeated again because of insufficient troops. There is nothing much to say about this, but the third time the beach is defeated is really unbelievable!"

"Soga!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded and said, "In the third anti-strike, the Chinese commander on the opposite side showed extremely high command attainments. Whether it is the accurate grasp of the principle of concentrated use of firepower or the choice of the timing of firepower investment, it is simply impeccable!"

"Hayi!" Tanabe Moribu said, "That one thing that makes people feel discouraged is that even a top student at the Army University may not be able to do better than this person!"

"And, there's more!" Yanagawa Heisuke said, "The most amazing thing is that this person can combine the principle of concentrated use of firepower with the terrain, which makes the Japanese Imperial Army occupy an absolute advantageous force, but is at an absolute disadvantage in firepower, and ultimately fail! It's really damn, how could there be such a powerful figure in the Chinese army?"

Tianbian Shengwu said again: "When it comes to terrain, we must not mention the tidal flats by the sea!"

After pausing, Tanabe Moribu turned his head and asked Abe Kameji: "Abe, what is the bamboo nail you mentioned?"

"Oh yes, it's a bamboo nail. I've brought it back with a bamboo nail!" Abe Kaguji slapped his forehead, then took out a bamboo nail with mud from his bag and said, "That's what!"

"Is this thing the Chinese army buried on the beach?" Tanabe Moritake reached out to take the bamboo nail, glanced at it twice, and then handed the bamboo nail to Yanagawa Heisuke.

"Hayi!" Abe Kaguji said, "There are all such bamboo nails on the beach! The rubber-soled shoes of the Imperial Army can't stop the bamboo nails at all, and they can be worn with one stab!"

Shengwu Tianbian signaled the adjutant to bring a pair of rubber-soled shoes, then stabbed them with bamboo nails, and then pierced them!

"Sodes!" Tanabe Moriwu said in a terrifying moment, "Commander, I really didn't expect that a small, insignificant bamboo spike could have such great lethality!"

"Cunning Chinese!" Yanagawa Heisuke said with a dark face, "This person not only has superb tactical command skills, but also has such cunning that is hard to defend against! I really don't know where this person came from?"

"But fortunately, this person has a very low rank, and at best he is a small battalion commander!" Tanabe Moriwu waved his hand and said, "The most terrifying thing at the moment is the artillery of the Chinese people! If it weren't for this artillery, the mere bamboo nails would not have stopped the Imperial Army, and the third group of robberies would have already opened the gap!"

After a pause, Tanabe Moribu said again: "So tomorrow, it is necessary to ask the base camp to come forward to coordinate with the Shanghai condemnation army. In any case, an air force must be transferred to help us seize the beach!"

"It is certainly necessary to ask the base camp to come forward to transfer the air team!" Yanagawa Heisuke nodded and said, "But we must not place all our hopes on the air force, otherwise, we will inevitably repeat the mistakes we have today!"

After a pause, Yanagawa Heisuke continued, "Tabe-kun, haven't you discovered anything?"

"Discover?" Tanabe Moriwu was stunned when he heard this and said in a daze, "What did the Commander discover?"

Yanagawa Heisuke said in a deep voice: "The Chinese commander on the opposite side is indeed very powerful. Whether it is concentrated on the use of firepower or the choice of counter-assault timing, it is impeccable. However, the troops are limited in the end! There is a saying in China that a good wife cannot be a disaster without any rice. At present, there is not much left in the Chinese army. I want to see what else he can use to resist the imperial army tomorrow?"
