Countless traces of gray smoke appeared in the sky.

One after the other.

In front of each gray smoke was a cannonball.

Looking up from below, the entire sky was surrounded by gunsmoke, and countless paths were cut.

The scene is very beautiful and spectacular.

A lot of devils were stunned.

But they were not shaken by the heavenly scenery, but by fear.

Nakasa, the devil's one, looked at the cannonballs flying in the sky in despair and closed his eyes.

It is said that after being blown up with your eyes closed, your body will not hurt too much.

A few seconds later, a violent explosion began.

One shell after another fell.

On the entire first line of defense, artillery was in full swing.

A shell fell, and there was nothing alive at all for more than a dozen meters around.

After many devils were killed, they were blown up by another shell.

Some devils have their bodies directly torn apart by shells, and they can't even see their bones.

Huge clouds of smoke rose from the entire position.

Under the huge smoke shroud, the devil's troops could not see anyone at all.

Ten minutes later, the smoke cleared.

There was not a single living devil on the battlefield.

Not to mention the living devils, even the corpses of devils, there are few intact ones.

Most of the devils were blown up.

Either a leg is missing, or an arm is missing.

Some devil corpses are even lacking in anything.

If you can't find your arms and legs, you can see your belly.

The commander of the Japanese army, Uemura, was stunned.

He didn't expect that the other party would have such a fierce artillery fire.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

When they attacked the first line of defense just now, although they encountered strong resistance from the other side, the firepower was not so strong.

It is obvious that the other party has just hidden his strength.

It's horrible.

They hid their strength, and they were able to withstand the fierce attack of his detachment for an hour.

If you don't have hidden strength, wouldn't you want to fly?

He took a look through the binoculars and saw that the troops he was attacking had all been shattered.

Only ten minutes of artillery bombardment by the other side had wiped out all his attacking troops.

Ten minutes, a thousand people were lost.

Such a speed, he had never heard of.

After the shelling, Liu Yuan's 2nd Independent Regiment advanced rapidly and reoccupied the first line of defense.

The Uemura detachment was blocked outside the camp.

At this time, the 70th Army had already begun to attack the flank of Kamimura.

The 13th Wing of the Uemura Detachment was exchanging fire with the 70th Army.

Due to the heavy fire of the 13th Wing, the offensive of the 70th Army was not very smooth.

Their troops attacked several times, but were all beaten back by the 13th Wing.

Originally, the strength of the 70th Army was not very strong, and the weapon configuration was also poor.

Compared with the Japanese army, there is a huge disparity.

In addition, it was the initiative to attack the Japanese army, so the casualties were very large.

For a while, the battle was a bit stalemate.

An hour passed, and the offensive of the 70th Army did not make substantial progress.

On the contrary, the casualties are not small.

In order to support the 70th Army, Li Lei ordered Wang Han's planes to carry out air strikes on the 13th Wing.

Now the 13th Wing is on the defensive, playing positional warfare.

In this way, the bombing effect will not be too bad.

Soon, Wang Han's plane departed.

When the 70th Army launched its eighth attack, Wang Han's plane arrived.

On the whistling plane, there are bombs that keep falling.

Dozens of bombs were dropped.

There were constant explosions on the positions of the devils.

Many of the machine-gun positions and mortar positions on the positions were blown up by bombs.

After dropping the bomb, the plane did not fly far, but began to strafe the 13th Wing from a low altitude.

The planes were loaded with heavy machine guns.

The bullets were thick and large.

A few bullets hit them, and a large number of devils died on the Japanese position.

The people of the 70th Army were stunned.

This has its own plane, which is cool.

It was a bombardment directly in the past.

Taking advantage of the fact that the devil was bombed by planes, the 70th Army launched an attack again.

Half an hour later, the 13th Wing of the Japanese army finally retreated.

The flanks of the Uemura detachment, after the retreat of the 13th Wing, plunged into chaos.

At this time, the 73rd Army had already arrived.

After the 13th Army arrived, it did not stop, and immediately launched an attack from behind.

The flanks were already in disarray, and now a force suddenly appeared from behind.

If Uemura doesn't know what's going on, then he, the commander, is really stupid.

At this time, Kamimura had already understood that his troops were surrounded.

"Immediately ask the command, the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment how long it will take to reach the designated place. We are now surrounded and need them to get there as soon as possible.

In addition, send a report to the command requesting tactical guidance.

The other side actually bombed us with planes.

We have to fight back.

We have more planes than theirs. ”

Okamura Ninji, who received the telegram, was about to vomit blood.

Uemura, you turtle grandson!

If you want to retreat, you have to retreat, now it's okay, you know it hurts, right?

Now the gap in the retreat has been plugged, even if the Nara and Saeda detachments arrived at the intended place on time.

The Uemura detachment must also break through the encirclement of the other side.

Otherwise, it's useless.

The Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment could attack from behind each other's backs, thus tearing a hole in the Uemura detachment and saving the Uemura detachment.

But the problem is that now the opponent's troops in northern Hunan are also moving in the direction of Yingtian.

The distance from the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment is not very far.

Obviously, Tiger Cub already knew about their intentions.

At that time, if it drags on for too long, not only will the Uemura detachment not be able to break through, but the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment may also fall into the battle of Yingtian, and they will not be able to retreat.

If that's the case, it's troublesome.

Now they have no logistical supplies.

It won't last long.

By then, the ammunition would run out, and all three detachments would be finished.

Towards evening, it rained.

Heavy rain.

The tiger cub was sitting in the war room, looking at the huge sand table in distraction.

The whole battlefield situation is becoming more and more favorable to them.

The 33rd Division and the 106th Division have begun to retreat.

And the Shangcun detachment, surrounded by their people, was surrounded in the area of Yingtian.

Although the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment were rushing to the field, he had already transferred the 52nd, 37th, and 79th armies, and the three armies along the railway to Yingtian.

In order to prevent the 33rd Division and the 106th Division of the Japanese Army from suddenly turning back, he transferred the 20th Army, the 78th Army, and the 72nd Army to the area of Changle and Pingjiang.

In case the Japanese turn back.

As long as the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment were blocked for a day, Li Lei would be sure to destroy the Japanese Uemura detachment.

At this time, Chief of Staff Wu walked in happily.

"This Li Lei is a god."

Kindness? The tiger boy raised his head violently, what is the god?

Lao Wu pointed to the sky: "It's raining." ”

"It's raining?"

The tiger boy was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked quickly to the door.

Really.

It was raining heavily, and the tiger cub looked at the rain in the yard, which was flowing out.

It's raining!

Tiger Cub breathed a sigh of relief.

With this heavy rain, the Uemura detachment is dead.

"Lao Wu, this time Changsha has been saved."

The tiger cub let out a long breath, feeling that the whole person was several pounds lighter.

The stone that had been pressing on him in his heart finally landed.

With this heavy rain, the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment will be trapped.

These two detachments were mechanized troops, there were a lot of trucks and combat vehicles.

As soon as it rains, their trucks and chariots will be stuck in the swamp and unable to move.

Not to mention saving the Shangcun detachment, if the retreat is slow, both of their detachments are in danger of being hit.

"The order, the 74th Army and the 60th Army, set out from the area of Takayasu quickly, and the target was the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment. If these two detachments do not retreat, together with the 52nd, 37th, and 79th armies, eat him.

Now these two detachments have lost logistical supplies, and coupled with heavy rains, their troops cannot move forward. Their artillery and chariots were also stuck in the quagmire and could not move.

It's the best time to attack them. ”

Chief of Staff Wu was shocked.

Good guy, Tiger Boy is going to play big this time.

It's just that in this way, will the casualties of the troops be too great?

It was not a small risk to besiege three detachments of the Japanese army at the same time.

If one is not done well, not only will the casualties of your own troops be very large, but you may also lose everything.

"Commander-in-Chief, do you want to think again? After all, there were three detachments of the Japanese army, which combined with almost 30,000 men.

We want to annihilate them all, it's too difficult. ”

Tiger Boy said: "I didn't want to annihilate them all. My goal is to completely annihilate the Uemura detachment. But if the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment retreat slowly, we will beat him hard.

The Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment are now united, and it is too difficult to annihilate these two detachments.

My appetite isn't that big.

All I have to do is inflict heavy damage on these two detachments.

But the Uemura detachment must be annihilated in its entirety.

The lone army is deep, I have a few troops to surround them, if he is allowed to escape, then how can I lead the troops after the tiger boy? ”

Chief of Staff Wu is much more down-to-earth.

The tiger cub has not lost his mind yet.

That's good, that's good.

The more critical the time, the more you have to hold your breath.

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and we must not relax.

Although the overall situation on the battlefield is now very favorable to us, the strength of the Japanese army cannot be underestimated.

Although the trucks and combat vehicles of the Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment could not move, their combat effectiveness was still not weak.

Moreover, these two detachments have become one.

If you want to encircle them, it is unlikely.

"Commander-in-chief, do you think these two detachments will retreat?"

Lao Wu is still not sure whether these two detachments of the Japanese army will retreat immediately, or whether they will insist on going their own way to save the Shangcun detachment.

The Nara detachment and the Saeda detachment were blocked by heavy rain and could not move forward at all.
