Tiger Boy said that after the battle is over, the tanks and tank soldiers will have to be returned.

But Li Lei didn't take it to heart.

Still?

Won't you see whose soldier I was?

Has Li Yunlong ever borrowed something to pay it back?

There are some things that become your own when you use them.

You ask Chu Yunfei, did Li Yunlong give him the equipment of his battalion?

I can't help but that the equipment of that battalion has not been returned, and even he, Chu Yunfei, is now following Li Yunlong.

Soon, Li Lei received the latest telegram that the ambush battle of the Fourth Army had begun.

Li Lei immediately ordered, and the heavy artillery began to bombard.

At the same time, Wang Han was ordered to immediately start bombing the Japanese army in Linxiang with planes.

The ongoing training of the Japanese army in Linxiang.

The detachment leader Nara looked at the devils in the training ground with a dark face, and his heart was upset.

His troops have not yet been replenished with new recruits.

It will take at least two months for the new recruits from the island country to come.

It's really too slow.

The failure to rescue the Uemura detachment last time made him angry.

Uemura is a good friend of his.

But he didn't expect that in the battle of Yingtian, his troops were actually surrounded and annihilated.

And his own troops, blocked by heavy rain, could not move forward, and were almost surrounded by the army of tiger boys.

In order to preserve his vital strength, he could only abandon the trucks and chariots, discard the baggage, and retreated to Linxiang in embarrassment.

This is a shame for him.

It had been a long time, and his troops had not only not been replenished with new recruits, but also with tanks and trucks, which had been very slow to replenish.

I really don't know what those guys in the island country are doing.

Tanks that are urgently needed at the front, why are they produced so slowly?

The current commander has been replaced by General Anan Weiji, which makes him very puzzled.

Commander Okamura Ninji is the most suitable person to command.

Anan is still too young.

Now that the fighting has stopped for a long time, General Anan still has no plans to attack Changsha.

It's too slow.

If this continues, Tiger Boy's troops will have to regain their combat effectiveness.

When the time comes, the price we will pay will be very large.

Staying in Linxiang all day, my troops' will to fight was depressed.

Nara was only thinking about it, when suddenly there was a rumbling cannon sound in the distance, which startled him.

Where is this firing gun?

Soon, a devil hurried over: "Report to Dazuo, there are a large number of enemies on the periphery of Linxiang." ”

What the?

The commander of the Japanese detachment, Nara, was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced.

Good!

I'm worried that I don't have an excuse to attack Tiger Boy's troops.

General Anan Weiji asked me to stick to Linxiang and not to fight without authorization.

But now, I am not fighting without authorization, but to defend Linxiang.

"Order the troops, launch an attack at once, and annihilate all the enemy."

Then he suddenly remembered that the timing of the enemy's attack seemed to be a little strange.

Not long after a wing of our detachment went to Xitang, we were attacked by the other side.

Is there any connection between the two?

He immediately told the communications corps to contact the wing going to Xitang to see how their situation was.

Soon, the devil communication soldier said to Nara: "Report, the wing that went to Xitang has not been able to be contacted. ”

Can't get in touch?

Nara was shocked.

Not good!

This is the opponent's strategy of dividing forces.

The wing that went to Xitang must have had an accident.

"Immediately send a report to General Anan Weiji, saying that we are here under fierce attack by the other side, and ask for support!"

Not really, right?

The chief of staff of the Nara detachment said, "Detachment leader, isn't it too early to send a report to General Anami now?"

We don't know how many enemies there are on the periphery of Linxiang. ”

"The troops attacking Linxiang must be the main force of the tiger boy.

Their purpose is to annihilate our detachment and recover Linxiang.

You listen to the sound of artillery outside, it is all large-caliber heavy artillery.

In general, there are simply no such large-caliber guns in the army.

If you don't ask for support in time, Linxiang will be recaptured by the other party. ”

Nara, the commander of the Japanese detachment, said with certainty that the other party's attack must have been premeditated.

Now his troops in Linxiang are only 5,000 people, and they can't resist the opponent's troops with heavy artillery at all.

I have to say that Nara, the devil Dazuo, is quite smart, and he immediately found out that something was wrong.

But it was too late.

Li Lei's new brigade has already begun to attack.

The heavy artillery of the new 1st Brigade directly smashed the Japanese positions on the outskirts of Linxiang.

The power of the twelve heavy guns was very great, and when a shell fell, there was a huge crater directly on the Japanese position.

The devils around the crater were directly torn to pieces.

The devils who were farther away were also shattered by the huge explosion.

At the same time, Wang Han's plane roared in.

Drop a lot of bombs.

The entire Japanese position, a sea of fire.

The ground forces of the new 1st Brigade have not yet launched an offensive, and there are not many devils on the Japanese positions who can move.

As soon as the bombardment by aircraft and heavy artillery stopped, the New 1st Brigade and the 58th Army began to attack.

The new 1st Brigade from the north and the 58th Army from the south, both armies attacked at the same time, flanking the Japanese Nara detachment.

The Japanese troops on the periphery of Linxiang were no match for the new 1st Brigade at all.

Under the orders of Li Lei, twenty tanks attacked at the same time. Behind the tank, there were infantry.

The devils who survived the Japanese position were still confused, and they saw a large number of tanks in front of their position.

Frightened I don't know what to do.

Fighting tanks, they really don't have this experience.

Twenty tanks lined up and fired shells at the Japanese positions.

The devils who have just escaped the heavy artillery bombardment will have to endure the bombardment of tank shells again.

The defeated were defeated.

The devil's position has been penetrated.

By the time the tanks rushed over, there were not many devils on the position.

Li Da was the fastest to rush, and after the tank drove to the position, his new third regiment followed closely and rushed into the devil's position.

As long as you see a living devil, kill them immediately.

Before the attack, Li Da reiterated once again that the new third regiment would not accept the devils who surrendered.

It doesn't matter if you surrender or not, as long as you can move all of them, kill them all.

After tearing a hole in the Japanese defense line, the tank crew did not stop, but together with the New Third Regiment, they directly entered Linxiang.

Li Lei's order is that the speed must be fast, and the devil must not be given time to react.

As long as you break into Linxiang, the devils on the periphery of Linxiang will not be able to become the climate.

After the new 3rd Regiment broke through, the Independent Regiment and the 2nd Independent Regiment also rushed in.

The Japanese defense line to the north was torn open about three kilometers away.

By the time the Japanese army reacted, Li Lei's new brigade had already rushed into Linxiang City.

This frightened the Japanese detachment.

Which force is this?

How strong is the combat power?

Even if there is heavy artillery, there are tanks!

Soviet-style tank ...... It's much more powerful than their Japanese tanks.

Compared to Soviet-style tanks, their own tanks are as fragile as papier-mâché.

The forward defenders reported that there were about twenty of them.

That's a lot.

When their troops attacked, one wing had four tanks to cooperate.

The other side actually has twelve vehicles, which is the main force of the main force.

Nara, the commander of the Japanese detachment, immediately reported the situation to Anami.

Anan was very surprised.

This was the second telegram he had received from the Linxiang troops.

The distance between the two telegrams was only a short hour.

Linxiang was attacked by the opposing army, which surprised Anan Weiji.

The tiger boy's move made him a little incomprehensible.

At this time, Anan Weiji already knew about Xitang.

In order to attack Linxiang, the tiger boy engaged in such a conspiracy.

Let Linxiang's troops divide their troops, and he will divide them and annihilate them.

Good strategy.

However, what is the tiger boy trying his best to recapture Linxiang?

Although Linxiang is along the railway, its strategic location is not important.

And Linxiang is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

If necessary, their troops can be occupied again.

Tiger Boy suddenly wants to recapture Linxiang, what is he thinking?

Anan Weiji looked at the place of Linxiang on the map and was puzzled.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army, Konoe Fumi, said with a pout: "Your Excellency, the tiger boy has always been scheming. He attacked Linxiang, and he must have some big plan brewing. ”

Anan was almost noncommittal.

Big plans?

Unlikely.

The tiger boy was in the fight with Okamura Ningji, although he forced Lao Gang to withdraw his troops.

But his tiger boy's troops also suffered heavy losses.

According to intelligence, many of his troops were directly reduced by more than half.

Although a large number of troop additions were carried out later.

But the additional soldiers are almost all new recruits.

In such a short period of time, combat effectiveness cannot be formed at all.

If Tiger Boy is hatching a big plan, he's playing with fire.

And his troops are not allowed to play with fire.

Because once defeated, his entire Hunan army would immediately collapse.

Such a risk is too great for a commander.

"Order the palace organs, and immediately let the spy team in Changsha find out the intentions of the tiger boy."

Konoe said: "The Nara detachment ......"

Anan Weiji frowned and said, "Let the Nara detachment withdraw from Linxiang immediately." Until the true intentions of the tiger cub are clarified, the troops in Wuhan are not allowed to be dispatched. ”

Since you tiger boy want Linxiang, then I'll withdraw.

Anyway, when the time comes, Linxiang will still be mine.

Nara, the head of the Nara detachment, who received the order to retreat, angrily tore up the telegram.

Yaga! Fall back?

Now that our troops have been flanked by the other side, how can we retreat?

Our troops in Linxiang now have only 5,000 men.

And the strength of the opponent's attack, at least one army!

Or the main force of Tiger Cub!

There is no way to undo it.

If he retreats, he will lose the protection of Linxiang City, and his troops will only be annihilated faster.

Now the only way to keep the detachment is to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Use Linxiang City to delay the speed of the opponent's attack as much as possible.
