The 3rd Division, the 5th Division, and the 10th Division of the Japanese Army were all elite divisions of the Japanese Army.

The three elite divisions of the Japanese army, such a super strong lineup to deal with a small county town, this is unprecedented and unique.

These three divisions really want to fight together, not to mention a small Nanguan County, even if it is ten county seats, these Japanese troops can easily conquer it.

The Itagaki Division has always been obsessed with Li Hong's security regiment, and the 21st Brigade was beaten so badly, the old devil of Itagaki naturally wanted to take revenge.

The old devil of Banyuan has always had a strong sense of resentment and revenge, he is eager to fight, but he does not covet any merits and achievements, he simply wants to defeat Li Hong once and completely annihilate the security group.

If you can't defeat the security group, then the old devil of Itagaki will not be blind to death.

When the officers of the headquarters of the security regiment heard that so many devil troops had come, their expressions became a little anxious and complicated.

Although the three divisions did not exert all their strength and strength, these devil troops combined were fifty or sixty thousand people, what kind of concept is this?

This is equivalent to a soldier of the security regiment, and he needs to deal with more than ten little devils!

With the current strength of the security regiment, there is no pressure at all to deal with one Japanese division, but to deal with three divisions and regiments, it is really asking for a dead end.

Faced with the pressure of the devil army, the officers of the security regiment naturally couldn't calm down.

Chen Lin looked at Li Hong with a solemn expression, and asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, the little devil has dispatched so many troops, and all of them are elite, how can this be done?" ”

Li Hong was very confident in his security regiment, but he was not arrogant enough to rely on one regiment to be able to deal with the three elite divisions of the Japanese army.

He thought for a moment, then found a map.

Li Hong stared at the map and quickly found the location of the 10th Division and the 5th Division.

Both divisions were mechanized units, and the enemy's build-up and mechanized maneuvers were very fast.

The Isogu Division was less than 130 kilometers south of Nanguan County, and the 10th Infantry Brigade and the 8th Artillery Wing of the 8th Division could reach Nanguan County by early morning at the latest.

The Itagaki Division is more than 180 kilometers north of Nanguan County, and the vanguard of the 5th Division will be able to approach Nanguan County at noon at the latest.

On the second telegram just now, there was also a warrant authorized by the theater command.

If the security regiment is unable to stop the large Japanese army, the security regiment can immediately withdraw from the battlefield and abandon Nanguan County.

Now the commander of the theater completely regards Li Honghe and the security regiment as a treasure in his hand, and he has a heart for himself.

With such a strong force as the security regiment, how could the commanders of the war zone be willing to let their entire army be wiped out and all killed?

However, Li Hongke had no intention of evacuating, and he decided to lead his troops to continue to hold Nanguan County.

What is a soldier? The man who stands up to the sky, even if he dies in battle, he has to die as he deserves, and it is heavier than Mount Tai.

The stick to the task has not been completed, for the sake of the overall situation of Xuzhou, he will definitely not take a step back.

At this moment, a call came from the headquarters of the 53rd Army of the Sichuan Army and informed Li Hong to go to the headquarters of the 53rd Army.

Even if the command of the 53rd Army did not call, Li Hong would have to meet Peng Debiao.

He asked the officers to stay at the regimental headquarters and wait for his return for a military meeting.

Li Hong did not delay much, and rode a horse to the headquarters of the 53rd Army......

The headquarters of the 53rd Army was not very far from the headquarters of the security regiment, only about two or three kilometers.

Fifteen minutes later.

Li Hong handed over the horses to the guards at the gate and strode into the headquarters of the 53rd Army.

Peng Debiao received the same telegram as Li Hong, and he also learned the intelligence news of the attack of the Japanese 5th Division and the 10th Division.

"Brother Hong, you should have received a telegram from the theater command, right?" Peng Debiao looked at Li Hong worriedly.

Li Hong gave a military salute to the commanders, nodded and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Nanguan County is related to the overall situation of Xuzhou, if we can't fully adhere to the task within the specified time, it will inevitably affect the overall situation, and abandoning the city is the next policy." ”

Chief of Staff Ge Zhenshan said: "Commander Li, it's just a 3rd Division, maybe we can still deal with the enemy and delay for some time, but this time we are facing an enemy ten times our own, if we continue to hold on, the end will inevitably be the city broken, and we will all ......die in battle."

After listening to Ge Zhenshan's words, Li Hong did not refute anything, what he analyzed was indeed the final result.

If several divisions of the Japanese army tried their best to attack in turns, the security regiment and the Sichuan army troops might not be able to hold out for a day.

Even if they can hold on for a day, it is estimated that the security regiment and the Sichuan army will have to be disabled, and how will they organize troops to break through at that time?

Before coming, Li Hong had already thought of a countermeasure.

Li Hong said his inner plan: "Commanders, there is a huge disparity between the enemy and us, I suggest that your Sichuan army troops take the opportunity to evacuate tonight, and Nanguan County will be defended by our security regiment." ”

Peng Debiao frowned, waved his hand and said: "No, no, I don't agree with this idea, Brother Hong has great kindness to all the officers and men of my 53rd Army, even if we want to stay, we will stay in the 53rd Army." ”

"That's right, Junzao, if you want to stay, you must stay with our Sichuan army troops!"

The generals of the Sichuan Army in the command said firmly.

Li Hong walked up to Peng Debiao and said bluntly: "Chief Peng, if you let your Sichuan army stay and defend, with the combat strength of the Japanese army, I am afraid that you will not be able to hold on for a day, and the Japanese army can drive straight into the Xuzhou area." ”

Li Hong's words are not to despise the 53rd Army, but to speak with facts.

The 53rd Army had less than 7,000 officers and soldiers left, its weapons and equipment were far inferior to those of the Security Regiment, and there were no armored troops and air support, so how could it withstand the onslaught of the three divisions of the Japanese army in one day?

The generals of the Sichuan army sighed softly, they were really helpless to resist so many little devils.

Li Hong glanced at the helpless officers, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if it is replaced by our security regiment for defense, even if the Japanese army surrounds us, I, Li Hong, have the confidence to be able to complete the task of holding on, and our security regiment has armored troops and air support, and there is no problem in breaking through the Japanese encirclement." ”

After listening to Li Hong's words, Peng Debiao thought carefully for a moment, and finally agreed to Li Hong's request.

"Commander Li, fighting the three elite divisions of the Japanese army on his own, he is really the backbone of the nation, and he deserves to be a contemporary god of war!"

"Okay, just leave it to your security corps. Peng someone, I want to compare with Brother Hong, I am really ashamed......"

Peng Debiao also knew in his heart that staying in the Sichuan army would only cause a burden to the security regiment, so it was better to follow the advice and evacuate Nanguan County.

"Everyone, don't worry about our security group, I, Li Hong, will definitely be evacuated from Nanguan County alive, Lao Tzu hasn't married his mother-in-law yet, why am I willing to die......"

Li Hong joked with the generals of the Sichuan army in Sichuan dialect, and did not take this arduous task of defending the city seriously at all.
