Instead, Seishiro Itagaki thought for a while, and then said, "Isoya-kun, you don't have to be suspicious and worried, I won't compete with you for credit, my purpose is just to annihilate the security group." ”

"Isogu-kun, as long as you agree to my request, all the credit for taking Nanguan County will be yours and your 10th Division."

Ryosuke Isoya held the teacup and kept his eyes on Seishiro Itagaki, and then, Ryosuke Isoya thought about something.

At this time, Ryosuke Isoya, who had a ghost in his heart, was moved by the sincere words of the old devil Itagaki .

In the battle just now, the 39th Wing can be described as a big defeat, which made Ryosuke Isoya realize how strong the combat effectiveness of the security regiment is.

Even if the 8th Infantry Brigade concentrates all its forces and makes every effort to capture Nanguan County, I am afraid that the entire 8th Brigade will suffer at least two-thirds of its troops.

Since, Seishiro Itagaki proposed to attack the steel plate of the security team, and he didn't want any credit, this is a great thing for Ryosuke Isoya.

With cannon fodder charging in front and taking the lead, and being able to enjoy such a great credit alone, how can Ryosuke Isoya not be moved?

Seeing that the other party was a little loose, Itagaki Seishiro said pleadingly again: "Isogu-kun, as long as I take Nanguan County, I'm definitely not an inch of merit, please believe in my sincerity, please!" ”

Ryosuke Isoya looked at the chief of staff next to him, Daichi Shinozuka, and soon, Daichi Shinozuka gave a hint of a look, indicating that he also agreed.

"Since Itagaki-kun is so sincere and has a big enmity with the security group, I will be an adult." Ryosuke Isoya said with a hypocritical smile: "I will immediately give an order to the front-line troops, and the main attack will be handed over to your 5th Division, and our 10th Division will assist in planning your attack." ”

"Sotani-kun, thank you so much!" Seishiro Itagaki thanked Ryosuke Isoya excitedly.

The purpose between the two had been achieved, and they didn't talk much about it.

Soon, Itagaki Seiji left the headquarters of the 10th Division with his accompanying officers.

Waiting for the old devil to leave, the chief of staff of the devil, Daichi Shinozuka, spoke.

"General, the 39th Wing has just fought with the security regiment, and this Nanguan County is defended by the security regiment, which is a steel plate that is difficult to pry."

"Yes, this Nanguan County is indeed a steel plate, this guy Itagaki offered to charge for us, we can take advantage of the fisherman......" Isoya Ryosuke's cold face showed a hint of sly.

Subsequently, Ryosuke Isoya ordered the withdrawal of the front-line combat units, and the main attack was handed over to the Itagaki 5th Division.

……

Nanguan County, Headquarters of the Security Corps.

Li Hong sat in the command headquarters, staring at the battle map spread out on the table.

Suddenly, a call came from the forward scout of the security regiment.

After answering the phone, the communications soldier immediately conveyed the situation to Li Hong.

"Regiment seat, the front-line scouts report, the vanguard of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army has arrived!"

"The vanguard of the 5th Division has arrived so soon?"

Previously, Li Hong had estimated the speed of the Itagaki Division's march, and the enemy might not be able to reach Nanguan County until noon.

Not to the speed of the enemy's march, so much faster than he expected.

Li Hong sat at the conference table and thought about it, and asked the signal soldiers: "How many troops has been gathered in the 5th Division of Itagaki Division?" ”

The signal corps continued to report: "The vanguard of the 5th Division arriving in Nanguan County is the 11th Wing of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, as well as artillery units, and a small number of armored units. ”

"Okay, I got it." Li Hong nodded and let the signal soldier leave.

Li Hong knew very well the inner thoughts of the old devil of Itagaki, the 21st Brigade had suffered a big loss in his hands, and the old devil of Itagaki must be holding a grudge and anxious to take revenge.

Although the vanguard of the Itagaki Division arrived at less than 5,000 people, Li Hong knew that the 5th Division was fighting at work, and the Security Regiment must not take it lightly.

Based on Li Hong's understanding of the old devil in Itagaki, this old devil is very cunning in battle, and he will take revenge, and the enemy will definitely do his best to retaliate against the security group.

The 5th Division and the 10th Division of the Devil fought alone, and there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, if the security regiment and the little devil were tough, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Li Hong thought carefully for a moment, decided to avoid the edge for the time being, out of consideration for the casualties of the officers and soldiers of the security regiment, he ordered all the officers and soldiers on the front line to withdraw to the city for defense.

As soon as the order to retreat was issued, the artillery of the security regiment fired a wave of smoke bombs, blocking the view of the devil troops.

The front-line positions were filled with thick gunsmoke, and at this time, the front-line troops of the security regiment quickly retreated.

The use of smoke bombs serves two purposes, one is to cover the safe retreat of the troops.

The second function is to use the smoke screen to create a view obstruction for the enemy, even if the enemy attacks, the slightest mistake will step on the ground mines.

"Quick, quick, evacuate !!"

The officers and men of the various battalions and companies of the security regiment evacuated in an orderly manner, and they quickly withdrew to the city along the long and narrow communication trenches dug up......

Half an hour later.

Itagaki Seishiro returned to the established headquarters, without any pause, and immediately convened a military meeting to make operational arrangements, preparing to launch an attack on Nanguan County.

The devils mobilized the bombers.

"Buzz—"

The devil pilots were afraid of the air defense units of the security regiment, and a dozen bombers only dared to circle outside the city.

The devil flight scout, overlooking the ground, carefully reconnoitred the ground situation outside the city.

After a few minutes, the Devil bomber quickly lowered its flight altitude and began carpet bombing.

"Hurricane, hurricane, hurricane......"

A large expanse of bombs fell from the bomber and then poured into the ground and exploded.

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

Aerial bombs slammed down on the positions outside the city, and the scorched earth was splashed, raging every fortification of the security regiment.

After more than ten minutes of bombing by the devil's plane, Seishiro Itagaki ordered the heavy artillery unit to move forward for three kilometers.

In order to defeat the security regiment, it can be said that the old devil of Itagaki disdained all costs, and dared to move the artillery unit to such a front.

The devil artillery hit the fire and attacked with incendiary grenades.

"Tom !!"

Dozens of artillery pieces shelled at the same time, and shells rained down on the positions outside the city like meteorites.

As a large number of shells exploded, the explosion burst into flames, and the outside of the city was covered with a large area of flames.

Soon, blazing flames spread to every trench and bunker.

The old devil in the distance, looking at the position outside Nanguan County into a hell of fire, he did not let the artillery stop.

Then, the little devil used high-explosive anti-personnel bombs to completely blow up every inch of the security regiment's position.

With such the intensity of the enemy's artillery fire, it is difficult to have surviving life on the position.

If Li Hong hadn't let the officers and soldiers of the security regiment withdraw in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and the soldiers of the security regiment would have been so miserable?
