After listening to the telegram, Yang Chen said with a smile: "The chairman of the committee is really good at this wishful thinking, give some rewards, let us defend Zhoukou to the death, and buy time for the transfer of his descendants!"

"Tuanzuo, you mean, there won't be reinforcements coming from Zhoukou?" Wang Guidao.

"It's not that there are no reinforcements, it's just that since the little devil dares to sneak attack Zhoukou, he must have made all the preparations.

Maybe now the Lanfeng front line has been attacked head-on by the main force of the Japanese army.

At that time, even if the Fifth War Zone and the First War Zone want reinforcements, they will be powerless!" Yang Chen pointed to the combat map and analyzed.

"Since the Japanese army already knows that Zhoukou is now guarded by our Tiger Bun Regiment, they will definitely mobilize heavy troops to attack us.

The Japanese army in Central China, in the battles of Shanghai and Nanjing, and later in the battle of Xuzhou, was almost invincible and did not suffer a single setback.

This battle came with the power of victory, and it was far from being as easy to deal with as the Japanese army in North China. Wang Gui first made an analysis, and then said: "Tuanzao, then what should we do?" Withdraw or defend?"

Everyone didn't speak, but looked at Yang Chen, obviously waiting for him to make a choice.

"Of course, we must defend it, even if it is not for the chairman of the committee and the national government, for the sake of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, we must not give up Zhoukou easily.

Besides, running away without a fight is not the style of my tiger group!

If the little devils want to invade the Central Plains, why should they pay a price!" Yang Chen immediately decided.

"The group seat is reasonable, the little devil wants to enter the Central Plains, it's not so easy!" Li Jiufu was the first to nod in agreement.

"I'm afraid the devil came prepared this time, and we have to make some preparations!" Sun Cheng, the commander of the baggage battalion, said worriedly: "We just replenished in Xuzhou not long ago, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers of the Zhoukou Security Regiment.

We are now quite abundant in troops, and the only shortage of soldiers is a little weaker.

I think that the little devil will definitely do his best this time in order to deal with my tiger group. In addition to the countless infantry, there will certainly be quite a few artillery and tank crews.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

If we can find a way to strengthen our own firepower, then we will not be too passive in the next battle. ”

Zhang Dali, the commander of the artillery battalion, immediately echoed: "I agree with this!" Tuanza, haven't we used 155mm caliber howitzers before?

That power is not half a star stronger than this 105mm caliber howitzer.

Can you get a few more?

It doesn't take much, there are ten doors and eight doors, and it's almost enough! ”

Although Zhang Dali's words were a bit half-joking, he didn't think that he could really get it.

However, Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully: "Well, this proposal is very good, I will find a way to get one or twenty doors over!" ”

As soon as Yang Chen's words fell, a shrill roar of an aircraft engine suddenly came from outside.

Before a few of them could react, the sound of bombing and the roaring strafing of airborne machine guns came one after another.

Yang Chen led everyone and ran out of the command headquarters one after another.

I saw that in the sky, at least more than 50 devil fighters were carrying out almost carpet bombardment of Zhoukou County.

Yang Chen immediately ordered them: "You all go back to your respective posts, since the little devil has sent a plane, it means that the infantry is not far away, you must beware of the sneak attack of the little devil!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and immediately took their own guards, braved the air raid of the devils, and left in a hurry.

……

Fortunately, because the main forces of the 3rd and 9th Divisions of the Japanese army had not yet arrived, this air raid by the devils was just a simple retaliatory bombing.

After lasting for more than half an hour, the devil fighters returned one after another, ending the air raid.

Left behind a ruined county town littered with collapsed houses, fires, and smoke.

However, at this time, the main battalions of the Tiger Ben Regiment were basically pulled outside the city.

In the east and south of the city, the construction of field ring fortifications began.

These positions were all set up in Zhoukou County, because this would be the main battlefield of the battle with the Japanese army.

In addition to the more than 2,000 deserters of the Zhoukou Security Corps, thousands of ordinary people in the Zhoukou area have also joined the ranks of rushing to repair the fortifications.

These people, who were used to doing coolie farm work, came spontaneously to defend their homeland.

In this way, the efficiency of building fortifications was greatly improved at once.

In the evening of the same day, the main forces of the 6th and 9th Divisions of the Japanese army arrived at the boundary of Zhoukou one after another.

After the two units converged, Lieutenant General Fujita, commander of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, immediately joined forces with Lieutenant General Yoshikaryosuke, commander of the 9th Division, to form a joint headquarters.

Prepare to unify the command of the two divisions and regiments to attack Zhoukou.

In the headquarters, the devils will gather the stars.

The old devil Ryosuke Yoshika was the first to speak: "Fujita-kun, the heavy artillery brigade will not be able to reach Zhoukou until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, shall we wait or attack now?"

Fujita Jin glanced at Ryosuke Jijia, and asked instead of answering, "I don't know, what do you think of Jijia-kun?" The fastest mobile phone terminal for network update::/m.. /

"Judging from the information provided by the special high class, it has been proved that the enemy army in Zhoukou is Yang Chen's Tiger Bun Regiment. This point has also been confirmed by Commander Shunroku Hata.

The combat effectiveness of this army has been demonstrated in the previous Shanxi battlefield and the Xuzhou battlefield.

Our North China Imperial Army has suffered heavy losses at its hands more than once. ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese網ωωω.. còм

Not to mention the loss of troops, it has also created a great shame and humiliation for our Imperial Japanese Army since it entered China.

Even our Central China Imperial Army, the 16th Division, was planted in the hands of Yang Chen and the Tiger Ben Regiment.

Therefore, when we gather the strength of the two divisions now, we must not underestimate this squadron!

Since the squadron has already taken precautions in Zhoukou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through their defense line in a hurry.

Especially at night, the aviation units could not take off and inflict precise and effective fire strikes on them.

Therefore, I think it is better for us to wait for the arrival of the heavy artillery brigade and the tank and combat vehicle wing, and then concentrate our forces on the offensive and strive to break through in one fell swoop.

It just so happened that our two divisions came all the way in a hurry, and we could all take this opportunity to have a good rest. Ryosuke Yoshika expressed his opinion.

is as arrogant as Fujita Jin, and now he has to admit that Yang Chen's Tiger Regiment is extremely difficult to deal with, because all the imperial troops who have despised the Tiger Regiment before have suffered a big loss in the end, and there are even many people who have destroyed the entire army.

If given the choice, he wouldn't even be willing to fight such a tough opponent.

So, he nodded and agreed to Ryosuke Yoshika's suggestion.

As a result, the Japanese army of more than 50,000 troops was temporarily stationed 20 miles southeast of Zhoukou and stopped.

In this way, the tiger group was given another precious time for the night.
