"In that case!"

Okamura Ninji's face sank suddenly, and he said, "Order the 145th Infantry Wing of the Imperial Army to immediately rush in the direction of Xiu Pingtian Fortress!" ”

"Hayi!"

Junrokuro Matsuura paused heavily, and then turned away.

Okamura Ninji walked to the battle map again, pointed to the location of the junction between Xiushui and Hunan, and said: "Except for the necessary troops on the frontal battlefield, the rest of the imperial army immediately marched in the direction of Longmen Town as fast as possible!" ”

"Longmen Town?" Chief of Staff Fujiwara Takeshi was a little puzzled and said, "Your Excellency Commander, are you worried that the Hata detachment will not be able to block the advance of the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army?" ”

"Not bad!" Okamura Ninji glanced at everyone again: "If you don't have any opinions, just carry out the order immediately!" ”

"Hayi!"

Shiro Inaba, Libing Ogisu and others paused one after another, and then turned away.

Okamura Ningji said again: "By the way, Fujiwara-kun, which imperial army is stationed in Wuning?" ”

Fujiwara Takemichi: "It seems to be Miyamoto United!" ”

"Yo Xi!" Okamura Ninji nodded, then turned his head to look at the communications staff officer who was still on standby, and ordered: "Immediately, in the name of the 11th Army Headquarters, order the Miyamoto Wing to quickly rush to the Hirata Fortress, and at all costs, also assist the Hakuda detachment to block the Tiger Ben Regiment of the Shina Army!" ”

"And!" Okamura Ninji continued: "Tell Shigeichi Hata that reinforcements are already on the way, no matter what means he takes, no matter what price he pays, he must hold on to Hirata Fortress for 3 hours!"

If the task is completed, I will personally ask him for credit in front of the Cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor!

If you can't do it, then you can cut your stomach and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Hayi!"

The Devil's communications staff officer paused heavily, and then turned around and left.

……

The screen pulls back to Hirata Fortress.

That is, the location of the junction of the Tiger Regiment and the Hakuda Detachment.

Under the reflection of the flares, the devil daredevils were completely exposed to the field of vision of the tank tank and machine gunners as if they were unclothed women.

In the next moment, they turned their guns and fired at the devil daredevils.

"Tubu!"

"Bump Bump! ——”

As the machine gunner's arm swung, a dense rain of bullets from the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun swung back and forth like a long whip in the hands of the Grim Reaper.

intertwined with each other, forming a dense network of firepower, covering the oncoming devil daredevils.

"Ahh

"Ahhh ——”

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the devil daredevils fell to the ground screaming.

The rest of the devils ignored this and continued to scream and run forward.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to break through the dense network of fire composed of more than 20 MG-42 general-purpose machine guns.

He had just run out not far before he was beaten into a blood sieve.

A devil daredevil's death squad was shot in the thigh, unwilling to fail the mission, after igniting the explosives bag in his hand? I want to throw it out.

Unexpectedly, at this moment? A rain of bullets came at him again, one of the bullets hitting his wrist.

"Uhh

After this devil let out a terrible scream? The right wrist fell to the ground with the explosives pack.

"Zizizizi! ——”

The fuse has burned to the end? Before the devil soldier could react, the entire explosive bag exploded.

"Boom!"

Soaring fire? Immediately, the devil daredevil's daredevils were completely enveloped in it.

At this time, the distance between us and the enemy was less than 100 meters.

The roar of engines of the T34-85 main battle tank group of the Tiger Regiment? Like the roar of the devil? It has caused a great psychological shadow to the devils.

They screamed and retreated.

"Baga Ya Road! No backwards! ”

"No backwards!"

Former enemy commander Takuma Ito waved his commander vigorously, and even pulled out his gun and killed several grassroots officers who took the lead in escaping, but it still didn't help.

Helpless? This old devil can only grit his teeth? Retreat with the troops.

The T34-85 main battle tank has a top speed of up to 75km/h, and although it cannot reach top speed at this time, it is not something that the two little short legs of the devil can run.

"Tubu!"

"Bump Bump! ——”

More than 20 MG-42 general-purpose machine guns kept roaring, and where the bullets rained, countless devil soldiers were like wind blowing grass and mustard? Piece by piece fell down.

There were even quite a few stampedes between the crowds.

How many devils fell to the ground? Before he could get up, a T34-85 main battle tank was already roaring.

Followed by? The tracks, which carried more than 30 tons, pressed directly across their bodies.

"Brethren? You can't let the tanks and tanks eat all the meat of these animals! ”

"Speed up? Rush with me! ”

"Kill!"

The 1st and 2nd battalions of the Tiger Regiment in a burst of exciting charging horns? Accelerate and rush forward.

Among them, Tian Cheng's cavalry company was the last to come, taking the lead in the devil's rout, and cutting down one devil's rout to the ground.

Rear.

Yang Jing stopped the 3rd and 4th Battalions' plans to follow and kill, called Qian Qingguo, the commander of the communications company, and ordered him: "Qingguo, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the commander of the theater, just say that we have broken through the encirclement and are about to enter Hunan!"

Please ask the commander's department to immediately order the friendly forces in Xianning, Huangshi and other places to stop attacking to avoid unnecessary casualties. ”

After a pause, Yang Jing said again: "Oh, by the way, don't forget to remind them, don't take it lightly, beware of the Japanese army being annoyed and angry, and launching a counterattack." ”

"Yes!"

Qian Qingguo suddenly agreed, and immediately turned around and left.

……

9th Theater Commandant's Department.

General Xue Boling, deputy commander-in-chief of the theater, has been in the war room, remotely directing the front-line troops to participate in the battle.

Because he knew very well that night was the best time for the Tiger Ben Regiment to break through.

Whether the Tiger Ben Regiment can return to Hunan smoothly depends on tonight.

The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will become.

The battle of Wuhan was newly defeated. The casualties of all units of the army are very large, and the consumption and loss of weapons and ammunition are even more astronomical, and there is an urgent need for rest and recuperation at the moment.

In a short period of time, it simply cannot withstand a battle of too large-scale.

Therefore, the initiative of the 9th theater to attack was actually a forced choice.

And it can't stand up to wear and tear for too long.

After all, there are no tanks, and there is no air supremacy, and to take the initiative to attack is to dance on the tip of a knife.

If you are not careful, you may fall into an unfavorable situation from which you will never recover.

At this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly took a translated message and hurriedly barged in from outside.

"Report! Tiger Ben group emergency! With an irrepressible expression of excitement on his face, the communications staff officer opened his throat and said: "Commander Yang said that the Tiger Ben Regiment has changed to Xiushui to break through and successfully defeated the Japanese Botian detachment, and will soon be able to enter Hunan!" ”

After speaking, the communications staff officer respectfully handed over the telegram in his hand.
