Xu Wen's judgment was not wrong, when the commander of the 10th Army stationed in Hangzhou, Yanagawa Heisuke, received the news that the Independent Brigade raided Shanghai and sent the army headquarters to urgently ask for help.

The 114th Division and the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade were immediately ordered to assemble as quickly as possible and dispatch to Shanghai overnight for reinforcements.

Before leaving, Yanagawa Heisuke also specially instructed Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, commander of the 114th Division, and Saburo Isoda to be the chief of staff, telling them to cooperate with the 3rd Division and other Shanghai garrisons to annihilate the independent brigade in Shanghai.

Because the independent brigade is a disgraceful existence for all Japanese troops.

The 10th Division of the 6th Army, the 16th Division of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and even the Izumo of the Navy were planted in the hands of this unit.

The commander of the 6th Division, Toshio Tani, the commander of the 16th Division, Nakajima Imasa, and the commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Susuru, and even His Majesty the Emperor's uncle, the new commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, were all killed by this unit.

Therefore, whether it is public or private, Yanagawa Heisuke grits his teeth with hatred for Xu Wen and his troops, and he can't get rid of them quickly!

For Shigeharu Suematsu, killing Xu Wen and his troops is not only a shame for the imperial army, but also a shame for the Japanese Empire!

It can make you famous and have a bright future!

Therefore, as soon as this old devil left the city of Hangzhou, he ordered the troops to advance to Shanghai at full speed.

The 114th Division, as an elite division second only to the 17 permanent divisions, has two infantry brigades, four infantry wings, and a number of directly subordinate wings.

The total strength of the army also exceeded 20,000 people, which was actually comparable to the 6th Division in terms of strength.

And the 114th Division was also a semi-mechanized division, with hundreds of military trucks, a large number of pack wagons, so the march was much faster.

But the separate 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, which joined them in reinforcements, was not so fast.

The 6th Brigade, which had more than 150 large-caliber heavy guns, took more than an hour to pull all the artillery out of the camp and assemble it.

In other words, Shigeharu Suematsu and Saburo Shigeta walked for an hour with the 114th Division, and the forward troops were almost past Jiaxing, and the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade was out of Yuhang.

And Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo, Chen Zhenglun and others, after withdrawing from Shanghai with the independent regiment, marched all the way to the southwest.

First bypassed Songjiang, and then went to Hai'an and other remote areas near the sea, until the system issued a prompt saying that there was a Japanese cavalry team twenty kilometers ahead, Xu Wen asked the troops to stop advancing.

I found a deserted wood, got in, and hid it.

In order to keep his whereabouts hidden, Xu Wen ordered all tanks and armored vehicles to turn off their lights, and all personnel to stay in the vehicles and not to act without authorization.

Silently lurking until the entire 114th Division had passed, and no trace of the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade was found, they came out of the woods and continued to march in the direction of Jiaxing.

Because Xu Wen and the others were very fast, they rushed ahead of the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army and crossed the boundary of Jiaxing first.

At that time, it was four o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still dark, and the Japanese defenders in Shanghai did not dare to rashly take the initiative to attack, so they thought that the independent brigade was regrouping.

They did not realize that the Independent Brigade had withdrawn from the battle, let alone that they had turned west and rushed to their own reinforcements.

It is said that Xu Wen, Zhou Weiguo and others, after passing through Jiaxing with their troops, there is still no trace of the devil's heavy artillery brigade, and Zhou Weiguo's anxious voice was transmitted to the Tiger tank along the radio.

"Big brother, why haven't you found any traces of the devil's heavy artillery brigade? Could it be that the devil didn't dispatch a heavy artillery brigade at all, right? ”

Xu Wen also muttered in his heart, and at this moment, the system issued another prompt: "Ding Dong, the 6th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army was found 18 kilometers ahead, this time no random mission will be triggered, and the host can decide whether to assault or not!" ”

"Only one separate 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade? There are no other Japanese troops, right? Xu Wen asked excitedly and secretly.

The system replied: "At present, no other Japanese troops have been found within the effective detection range of this system. ”

Xu Wen almost jumped up with joy and said, "Great! ”

immediately ended the dialogue with the system, and said to Zhou Weiguo: "Go further, there should be no mistake in the Japanese army telegram deciphered by Fugui." ”

"Then I'll personally go to the front and lead the team to reconnoitre!" Zhou Weiguo took the initiative to ask.

Xu Wen was also about to send a small force to the front to make a show, so he readily agreed: "Okay, be careful." ”

Zhou Weiguo replied yes, and immediately commanded his Leopard tank to speed forward.

Two No. 4 tanks followed, and the three tanks formed a mechanized reconnaissance group, which soon broke away from the large group and disappeared into the night.

As Xu Wen expected, it didn't take long for Zhou Weiguo's voice to come from the car radio again, but this time it was full of excitement and joy: "Big brother, I found the devil's heavy artillery brigade!" Just less than fifteen kilometers ahead of us! Hurry up and bring the main force over! ”

"Okay, I got it, I'll be there soon! Don't be in a hurry to do it, lest you startle the snake. After Xu Wen finished answering, he immediately issued a combat order to the whole brigade by radio: "Attention of all units, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou has discovered the target.

Just more than ten kilometers ahead of us, it is heading towards us! Now I command you, kill them as fast as you can!

Listen clearly to Lao Tzu, I want you to kill all the enemies without leaving any of you!

Avenge our comrades-in-arms who died in Suzhou and Wuxi! ”

"Roger!"

"Roger!" For a while, the soldiers were excited, roared in response, and each drove tanks, armored vehicles, and Humvee military vehicles to speed forward.

Xu Wen's tiger style also followed his order, and galloped forward at full speed.

It took them all the ten kilometers in less than twenty minutes.

At this time, the devil's heavy artillery brigade was less than two kilometers away from them, after converging with the three tanks led by Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo immediately asked: "Big brother, how can we fight?" ”

"The devil's heavy artillery brigade positional battle, we can't beat it! But in this kind of encounter, no matter how many cannons they have, it is useless!

However, in order to eliminate them as soon as possible! We are divided into three ways! I assault from the front with Tiger tanks! You and the chief of staff each lead thirty tanks and armored vehicles, and flank them from the left and right!

We're on three sides to eliminate them as fast as we can! Quick! ”

"Good!" Zhou Weiguo and Chen Zhenglun received orders in unison, and then each took more than a dozen tanks, more than 20 armored vehicles, and air defense combat vehicles to rush down the road and make a detour to the two wings of the Devil Heavy Artillery Brigade.

Xu Wen took more than a dozen tanks such as the Tiger, as well as more than 50 remaining armored vehicles, and air defense combat vehicles along the highway to kill the Devil Heavy Artillery Brigade from the front.
