Yang Chen immediately rejected Chen Ming and Li Da's offer to let him evacuate in advance, and said solemnly: "No! This tunnel can only be used by two people at a time, and we have nearly 2,500 people in total.

To pass them all, it will take at least an hour and a half, and you will have to throw away all the heavy weapons such as artillery, tanks, and combat vehicles! I must stay with you to break off.

The whole regiment has not withdrawn, how can I, the regiment commander, leave them behind and flee for my life first? ”

Zhang Dali, the commander of the artillery battalion, said with a pained face: "Tuanza, the 155mm caliber heavy howitzer is too big to carry, and the other artillery, we can dismantle it and take it away!" You don't have to blow it all up! ”

"No! Dismantling the cannon is too time-consuming, and even if it is dismantled, the parts are very heavy, and the soldiers will not be able to go far at all with these things.

When the devils attack our regimental headquarters, they will find that we have escaped through the tunnel.

At that time, we will definitely be pursued from the outside, and we still won't be able to escape!

Therefore, this time, it is necessary to retreat lightly, and strive to evacuate Gushi as quickly as possible and move to a safe place. Yang Chen flatly refused: "What's more, if you want to block the attack of the devils and win time for the withdrawal of the large army, the artillery and tank fighting vehicles have to be left for the use of the third battalion and the special operations brigade!" ”

In fact, artillery and tanks do not want to be blown up, after all, these are all merits of white flowers.

He had already made up his mind that he would find a suitable opportunity to include them in his personal space one by one, but it was really not good, and it was not too late to blow it up.

Anyway, it is categorically impossible to leave it to the little devils!

Seeing that everyone still wanted to persuade again, Yang Chen's face sank, and he said forcefully: "Okay, this is the way to do this, listen to me, you just carry out the order!" ”

Seeing that Yang Chen's mind had been decided, everyone had to stand up and salute: "Yes!" ”

As a result, the Tiger Ben Regiment was in full swing and began to evacuate outside the city along the tunnel entrance in batches.

The third battalion and the special operations brigade stayed behind according to the order of Yang Chen, the regimental seat.

In the urban area centered on the regimental headquarters, a circular fortification was constructed using the ruined buildings in the castle.

Yang Chen personally led the special operations brigade and part of the artillery of the third battalion to operate the dozens of artillery pieces left behind by the artillery battalion.

Like a wild dog, the little devil with a keen sense of smell keenly noticed that the tiger group had shrunk the defense line, and subconsciously thought that the tiger group was about to be unable to hold it.

Therefore, a large number of attacking troops were mobilized again, and a more fierce siege was launched against the headquarters of the Tiger Ben Regiment from all over the city.

At the same time, the artillery wings under the jurisdiction of each division and regiment also moved their artillery positions forward one after another, aimed at the central area of the city, and continued to bomb indiscriminately at any cost to clear the obstacles for the attacking troops!

The former enemy commander of the Japanese army, Tani Shofu, learned that the attacking troops had entered the city and surrounded the Tiger Ben Regiment in the center of the city.

The old face, which had been tense, finally showed a long-lost smile, and couldn't help but say happily: "Yo Xi! Great, this time Yang Chen and his tiger group can't escape! ”

At this time, Okamura Ninji called to inquire about the battle situation, and Gu Shoufu, an old devil, was full of pride and pride and instructed the chief of staff, Shimono Kazuho: "Call back to Commander Okamura immediately, and say that the imperial army has entered the city, surrounded the remnants of the Tiger Regiment, and is carrying out the final attack."

Rest assured, after dawn tomorrow, we will be able to end the battle! Annihilate the Tiger Regiment and take it completely from China. Removed from the battle sequence of the army! ”

The chief of staff, Shimono Kazuho, was also overjoyed, and deliberately licked his face and flattered: "The Tiger Ben Regiment has become a big problem for the Japanese Empire to unify China, and the imperial army has encircled and suppressed it several times, but it has not succeeded, but it has been beaten to a pulp.

This time, the Tiger Regiment was wiped out by the troops under your command from Your Excellency, the division commander.

When this battle is over, you will definitely become a hero of the Yamato nation and a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor! ”

The flattery of his subordinates and the victory that was close at hand made Gu Shoufu a little fluttering and excited.

Then he said triumphantly: "In this battle, I also have the credit of your full assistance to the commander of the chief of staff, and I will never forget it!" ”

"The humble post is just doing what is within the bounds, and if His Excellency the division commander is promoted in the future, please say a few good words for the humble post in front of His Majesty the Emperor and in the cabinet, and I will be grateful for such a humble position!" Shimono Kazuho hurriedly bowed his head and stammered.

"Yo Si! It's natural! Gu Shoufu was in a good mood and readily agreed.

After all, who doesn't love a dog that wags its tail?

…………

The picture pulls to Hefei.

Shimono Kazuho is right to say that the Tiger Ben Regiment has long become a big problem for the Imperial Japanese Army and even the entire Japanese Empire.

Its existence has even seriously threatened Japan's strategic plans throughout East Asia.

Therefore, Okamura Ninji, who was the commander of the 11th Army at the time, was also paying close attention to the Battle of Gushi, and stayed up all night and couldn't sleep all night.

There is both excitement and worry.

The excitement is because the Tiger Ben Regiment has been besieged by three divisions of the Imperial Army in Gushi County, and it is impossible to escape with wings, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely annihilated.

is worried because Yang Chen, like an old fox, is extremely cunning!

The Tigers are also an extremely difficult Chinese force to deal with. Army. Looking at the previous battles between the imperial army and the Tiger Bun Regiment, the Tiger Ben Regiment had also been besieged, but in the end, all of them allowed the cunning Yang Chen to lead his troops to break out.

Moreover, after the battle so far, the entire imperial army has broken more than 30,000 people, which is more than the number of a reorganized division.

But it was not possible to completely annihilate the Tiger Ben regiment!

To put it mildly, even if the Tiger Ben Regiment was defeated and annihilated in the end, he actually lost this battle.

However, when he thought of the immortal exploits of the whole Annihilation Tiger Regiment, the old devil Gangcun Ningci felt that all these casualties were actually worth it.

Therefore, when Gangmura Ninji received the telegram from Gu Shoufu from the adjutant and read it, his expression suddenly perked.

Originally, because he stayed up until midnight, some of the sleepiness above dissipated in an instant, and he took the telegram and muttered for a while, out of prudence, so he instructed the adjutant again: "Immediately reply to Gu Shoufu, don't be too happy, and be careful to prevent the Tiger Bentuan from breaking through."

Judging from past battle examples, this enemy army is very tenacious and cunning, and until the last moment, it cannot be relaxed, and absolutely give them any opportunity to take advantage of! ”

After receiving the reminder and supervision of the commander Okamura Ninji, Tani Shofu temporarily put away his contempt and ordered all his subordinate troops to strengthen the offensive in addition to intensifying the attack.

In and around the city, several blockade lines were added to prevent the Tiger Regiments from breaking through the chaos.

In addition, in order to prevent the Tiger Ben Regiment from repeating their old tricks, they pretended to be the Imperial Japanese Army to hide from the world.

Gu Shoufu, the old devil, also ordered his staff subordinates to formulate several sets of light and dark passwords to switch back and forth.

In this way, it is almost impossible for the Tiger Regiment to follow the example of the previous one, and change into the uniform of the Japanese army to get through the customs in a foolish manner.
