Brothers, follow me!! ”

Li Hong got into a chariot and shouted at the soldiers.

The soldiers of the security regiment who received the combat mission shouldered their weapons and ammunition one after another and followed the armored troops.

The mountain road was narrow and crowded with resting Nationalist soldiers, and the road ahead was too congested for the tanks of the security regiment to pass.

"Brothers, let go, get out of the way for the brothers of the security group!"

When the soldiers of the national army saw the security regiment coming up, they consciously moved to the side to make way for the chariots to pass.

The cavalry battalion of the security regiment ran to the front, chariots drove one after another along the narrow mountain road, and the infantry marched at a faster pace......

The combat units of the Security Regiment were unimpeded on the road, and everyone marched for less than twenty minutes before rushing to the frontline combat point.

"Tom !!"

"Da !!"

"Sudden !!"

Dense gunfire and artillery fire resounded over the mountain pass.

"Brothers, rush to the position of the little devils!!"

The officers and men of the newly formed 51st Division roared angrily, and they took up their weapons to attack the positions of the Japanese 4th Division in front.

Forward and forward

The newly formed 51st Division was subordinate to the 7th Army of the Gui Army.

Speaking of the 7th Army of the Gui Army, it is definitely a great achievement, with few defeats on the battlefield, and it is recognized as a local ace elite unit in the national army.

The Gui army is brave and tenacious in battle, and has always been called the wolf soldiers of Guangxi, and even the little devils call the Gui army a group of wolves, which shows that the combat effectiveness is indeed extraordinary.

However, the elite units of the 7th Army of the Gui Army fought many bloody battles with the Japanese army, and the main force was basically consumed, and the combat effectiveness of the newly formed 51st Division was much worse than before.

However, the new 51st Division inherited the wolf nature of the Gui Army, and was as brave and tenacious as the little devils.

Among the charging officers and men, many officers at or above the regimental level personally carried guns and led the charge.

Although the Gui troops in front of them fought very tenaciously and launched attacks on successive Japanese positions, even if the officers and soldiers were sacrificed, they still rushed forward one after another.

However, the enemy occupied favorable terrain, the artillery fire was very fierce, and the equipment of the 51st Division was relatively backward, and there were no strong offensive weapons, so it was difficult to open a defensive breakthrough from the Japanese position.

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army, which is also the elite of the elite, is good at capturing fighters and playing tactics, and the 51st Division is completely at a disadvantage, where is the opponent of the 4th Division.

At the front of the position guarded by the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, there was an open slope of several kilometers, and the Japanese army took advantage of the terrain to completely block the officers and men of the charging 51st Division with a strong fire net.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The explosion of artillery shells continued to sound, and dense shells exploded one after another around the charging officers and soldiers.

In less than an hour, a regiment of the newly formed 51st Division suffered two-thirds of the casualties.

Li Hong quickly got off the chariot, stood on the high ground on the side of the mountain, and observed the battle situation ahead.

Immediately, he rushed to the command of the 51st Division at the front......

On the side of the mountain road, the temporary headquarters of the 51st Division.

A major wearing a steel helmet of the Gui Army hurriedly ran to a lieutenant general to report: "Division, the 136th regiment in front has organized 3 charges, and there is less than one battalion left in the whole regiment......

Tan Suhua, commander of the 51st Division, was immediately very annoyed when he heard the news.

"Fuck, little devil!"

Tan Suhua took off the military hat on his head and threw it on the ground angrily, holding back the fire in his stomach and having nowhere to sprinkle it.

The 136th Regiment is the sharp knife unit of the 51st Division, and the officers and soldiers are all veterans recruited by Guangxi, and an elite regiment will be defeated in just such a while, how can Tan Suhua not be angry.

Tan Suhua said to the herald beside him: "Immediately inform the 139th Regiment to prepare for the attack, Lao Tzu will lead the troops to the front line in person this time!" ”

At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran to Tan Suhua.

The soldier said in an excited tone: "Division, Commander Li of the Security Regiment is here!" ”

In the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the 5th War Zone, Li Hong is the nemesis of the little devil and the invincible god of war.

Tan Suhua put down the firearm in his hand and asked the soldier, "Is Li Hong here?" ”

"Yes, Master, it's him!"

When Tan Suhua heard the news of Li Hong's arrival, he seemed to see hope.

Immediately, he took the guards and walked quickly to meet Li Hong.

Li Hong didn't even bring guards, and the commanders of each battalion were on standby to fight at any time, and he came to Tan Suhua alone.

"Master Tan!"

"Captain Li!"

Because they were on the battlefield, the two simply said hello.

Li Hong didn't have any extra politeness, and said directly to Tan Suhua: "Division Commander Tan, I am here to assist the 51st Division in the battle under the order of the headquarters. ”

"Okay, Commander Li, with your security regiment here, my 51st Division will have confidence in opening a breakthrough from the Japanese position."

Tan Suhua patted Li Hong on the shoulder trustingly, and asked, "Commander Li, what is blocking us is the elite 4th Division of the Japanese army, what is your way to break through to the enemy's position?" ”

"Division Commander Tan, the Japanese army's firepower is very fierce, I see that the front-line brothers fought very fiercely, how about the casualties of the troops?"

"Hey......" Tan Suhua let out a long sigh and continued: "I have a regiment under my command and organized many attacks, but as a result, there is less than one battalion left, it is really a shame for the 7th Army, I, Tan Suhua, am sorry for the brothers who sacrificed......"

Hearing so many casualties among the front-line combat troops, Li Hong couldn't help frowning.

As we all know, the 7th Army of the Gui Army is a steel army, how could the casualties be so large.

If we put aside the weapons and equipment and talk about combat effectiveness alone, the elite units of the Gui Army are not inferior to the Central Army in combat effectiveness, and even stronger than the Central Army in some aspects.

The 51st Division will fight so badly, mainly because the consumption and damage in the battle of Xuzhou are too great, and the combat effectiveness of the continuous march has been greatly affected.

The two of them walked to a high ground, Li Hong pointed to the battlefield in front of them and said: "Division Commander Tan, there is an open field at the front of the Japanese army, and the brothers of the 51st Division do not have enough artillery fire to suppress it, and they do not have the weapons to attack the fortifications, so the attack of refueling tactics can only become a live target for the Japanese army......"

Tan Suhua also knew the reason for the large casualties of the troops, but the Gui army was such a military strength, there were basically no combat vehicles, and the planes were almost lost.

Li Hong thought quickly for a while, and suggested to Tan Suhua: "Commander Tan, let's do it, time is pressing, the main attack task is handed over to our security regiment, your 51st division brothers are good at mountain warfare, and soldiers can climb over the mountains to attack from the flank of the Japanese army!" ”

"Okay, Commander Li, just do what you say!"

Tan Suhua nodded and agreed with Li Hong's battle plan, and then he asked the herald to give the order to the front-line troops to evacuate.

The 136th Regiment, which was fighting on the front line, quickly evacuated from the front-line firefighting site after receiving the order.

After returning home, Li Hong hurriedly deployed the combat units of each battalion.

The artillery unit of the security regiment, pushing more than a dozen MLRS, entered the position and stood by.
