Huainan is not far from Chuzhou, only more than 200 miles, so with the foot strength of the Dragon Soul special combat team members at this time, if they march at full speed, they can reach it within 5 hours.

However, in order to avoid the reconnaissance of the devil's aircraft, so as not to expose the whereabouts and lose the tactical suddenness.

Yang Chen took them, chose to go out day and night, and specially selected some sparsely populated mountain and forest paths to march.

Therefore, it took a full night to rush to the Chuzhou area.

However, this night's day and night, and overnight travel, is not without value.

At least, no one in any intelligence agency of the Japanese army knows until now that such a well-equipped small Chinese elite force has arrived on the Chuzhou battlefield.

Of course, the country. The military side also did not know.

The Japanese 16th Division, with the strong fire support of the Air Force, launched a frantic attack on the Chuzhou area.

Hu Shoushan's 1st Army finally suffered heavy casualties, and after three days and three nights of bloody battles, it had to shrink its defensive line and abandon some of its peripheral positions.

Nakajima was immediately overjoyed and decisively led the army to bully him.

But I didn't know that this was Hu Shoushan's plan to show the enemy, and the devil soldiers under the command of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army were ordered to attack, and they saw that they could come to the city and surround Chuzhou City.

Chinese reinforcements from about two armies outflanked from the east and west of Chuzhou, flanking the left and right flanks of the attacking troops of the 16th Division.

The 1st Army also took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and the Japanese 16th Division was attacked on three sides, and the air force fighters at that time ran out of ammunition and just returned home.

Therefore, the Japanese 16th Division was first defeated and then defeated, and was caught off guard by the sudden counterattack of the Chinese defenders.

Not only did they lose the peripheral positions they had just occupied, but they were also pursued all the way to their sortie positions by Hu Shoushan's 1st Army, the 31st Army, and the reinforcements of the 51st Army.

If it had not been for the timely fire of the 22nd Artillery Wing, it inflicted considerable casualties on the pursuing Chinese troops and effectively delayed their attack.

The consequences were unimaginable.

After stabilizing his position, the embarrassed and angry Nakajima Imago once again gathered heavy forces and launched a large-scale fierce attack on the Chinese defenders in Chuzhou.

The Japanese used planes, tanks and artillery to bomb the positions of the Chinese army incessantly, suppressing the defenders' light and heavy machine guns and other fire points, and the infantry took the opportunity to charge.

Although the soldiers of the defenders were brave and fearless and fearless of death, they were ultimately inferior to the Japanese in terms of heavy firepower and weapons.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the little devils, there were heavy casualties.

Even the fortifications made of sandbags and masonry became vulnerable at this time, and were blown up by the little devils.

Among them, the light and heavy machine gun fire points have become the key objects of care for the devil artillery.

Fire had just been fired here, and soon one or several shells would fly by.

As a result, on the defenders' side, there was no effective blocking fire at all.

Helplessly, they had no choice but to wait for the Japanese army to rush into the position and engage in extremely fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.

The officers and men of the 1st Army, the 31st Army, and the 51st Army all suffered heavy casualties, and in just one day when Yang Chen led the army to arrive, they accumulated tens of thousands of casualties.

Among them, the vast majority of casualties were caused by the superior firepower of Japanese aircraft, tanks, and artillery.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and this is an eternal truth.

No one can remember, tell, how many loyal and patriotic soldiers have paid with their lives.

The 1st Army and other departments, after a desperate confrontation one after another.

In the end, because the casualties of the troops were too heavy, they had to abandon the outer defense line, retreat to the position near the city, and rely on the city wall to combine and hold on.

The 16th Division of the Japanese Army took advantage of the situation to attack the city and bombarded the head of Chuzhou.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom! ——”

Ground field artillery units, combined with aviation units, constantly carried out fierce bombardment of Chuzhou's city defenses.

Every time one of these shells fell, there was a loud bang that shook the sky.

In an instant, the flames burst into the sky, countless masonry rubble, and shattered shrapnel flew wildly with the shock wave generated by the explosion.

The walls were broken and the houses collapsed.

Countless defenders and soldiers were also affected by the wanton bombardment of the little devils.

However, the city walls were already their last line of defense, and there was no way to retreat.

Even in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the little devils, they can only grit their teeth and stand on the front line.

Otherwise, once the city defense is lost, what awaits them will be a catastrophe.

Among them, Chuzhou Railway Station has become one of the tragic battlefields for repeated contention between the two sides.

For the Japanese army, as long as they captured the Chuzhou Railway Station, they could open up the Tianjin-Pudong railway line, and then outflank the entire Chuzhou city in a roundabout way.

For the defenders, the gains and losses of the Chuzhou Railway Station will directly affect the victory or defeat of the entire Chuzhou defense battle.

Therefore, Hu Shoushan and others, although they abandoned the outer field defense line.

But in the direction of Chuzhou Railway Station, he spared no expense and constantly invested heavy troops.

Repeatedly fought with the Japanese army.

In just one day, large-scale white-knuckle battles broke out no less than five times.

Each time, the Japanese would carry out an almost carpet bombardment of the railway station, and then under the cover of powerful firepower, they would launch a charge.

The defenders, on the other hand, quickly rushed from behind the bunker to the front-line position after the bombardment, and fought to the death against the invading Japanese troops.

After a series of bloody battles, the entire train station and outside the station were full of corpses of soldiers on both sides, stumps and broken arms, and patches of eye-catching bloodstains, as if turning this station into a Shura hell field.

Even the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood.

The defenders will not give up an inch of land, and every inch of land will be contested.

Every time the little devil took a step forward, he paid the price of blood.

But at the same time, their casualties are several times that of the little devils.

Because after all, the Japanese army has a strong firepower advantage in all aspects, such as air force, tanks, artillery, etc.

The ratio of casualties between the defenders and the devils is almost three to one, or even more.

Therefore, after several bloody battles, the 1st Army and other departments have gradually become weak.

At this moment, Yang Chen had already taken the disguised special operations team, bypassing the firepower and ears of the devils, and lurked in a dense forest in the west of Chuzhou.

Not long after, Chen Ming, who was in charge of collecting intelligence, returned.

"Tuanza, I have caught my tongue, but these little devils refuse to cooperate and refuse to disclose specific information about their headquarters."

After Chen Ming saluted Yang Chen, he reported with a rather disappointed face.

"Oh? Didn't you use the torture? ”

"I used it, and even several tongues were killed by me.

I don't know if these little devils are hard bones, or if they really don't know the specific location of their headquarters. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ming frowned, and his face was not angry.

"And the tongue?"

"There are two more.".

As he spoke, several special combat team members had already escorted the two devil soldiers over.
