Although it is the second time to cooperate with the special task force, for Pang Bingxun and others, he still does not know how many people Hu Biao has. The only thing that can be confirmed is that these people are very strong and powerful, much stronger than his guard battalion.

In the earlier battle against Yicheng, if it weren't for Hu Biao's subordinates to cooperate in the battle, if they wanted to annihilate the Japanese infantry wing stationed in Yicheng, I was afraid that Pang Bingxun would also have to pay a certain price. And this time, his troops did not feel the pressure.

What made Pang Bingxun and his subordinates feel that Hu Biao was not easy to provoke was Hu Biao's attitude towards the little devil. In Hu Biao's words, since it is an enemy, it is necessary to eliminate all evil, what to do with the prisoners? Drag down and waste food!

What if one day he becomes an enemy of Hu Biao?

Thinking about the consequences, Pang Bingxun and his generals felt that it was better not to be an enemy of such people. Otherwise, I'm afraid that they won't be able to sleep well at night. People like Hu Biao are really unguardable!

Seeing Hu Biao and his entourage leave in a dashing manner, there were mountains of weapons and ammunition piled up in the city, and the spies didn't even ask for a shot. Even the captured artillery, Hu Biao left all of them. The only things they took away were gold, silver, jewelry, and currency that had been looted from the city.

After cooperating twice, Pang Bingxun has received huge benefits, and Hu Biao has shown off his muscles again, no matter what the purpose, Pang Bingxun has decided that he will definitely deal with Hu Biao in the future, and I believe that the benefits will be more.

When he returned to the headquarters that had been temporarily cleaned up, he received an order from Li Zongren that the rest of Pang Bingxun's 40th Army must hold on to Yicheng for at least three days until the end of the counterattack offensive.

Looking at the telegram sent by Li Zongren, Pang Bingxun also said directly: "Three days seems to be a short time, but as far as our remaining subordinates are concerned, I am afraid that it will not be good to leave them all in the city." I think, how about putting a group outside? ”

"Military seat, we also have a reserve regiment outside the city, and a main regiment will be transferred from the city, so that a combat brigade can be temporarily reorganized. The guns that were eliminated by the main forces were issued to the new regiment, so that the regiment would also have a certain combat effectiveness. ”

"Okay! Adjust quickly! If possible, when this counteroffensive is over, we will still apply to go to the rear to rest and recuperate, this Yicheng is not a place to stay for a long time. Let the vigilant troops cheer up and give warning as soon as they spot enemy planes. ”

"Yes, Throne!"

It is clear that the theater of operations is trying to completely annihilate the 10th Division of the Japanese Army this time, and the current task of the 40th Army is not to block the 10th Division. Rather, it was to block the Japanese reinforcements that might cross the border from Yicheng and rescue the 10th Division.

Fortunately, at present, all the materials in Yicheng have been destroyed, and even if the Japanese army retreats to Yicheng, it will face the end of running out of ammunition and food. The only thing that can be relied on may be the fortifications of Yicheng. It's a pity that now Yicheng has fallen into the hands of the 40th Army.

After listening to Hu Biao's suggestion, Pang Bingxun, who had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, also wanted to preserve some strength as much as possible. From the troops entering the city, select the elite of a regiment, let it carry a large amount of supplies, and rush outside the city to join the reserves.

If the little devil sends reinforcements next, Pang Bingxun can also command the troops inside and outside the city to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army. As for the 10th Division that retreated from the Taierzhuang front, it had other anti-Japanese war units responsible for blocking and encircling and annihilating.

In the early hours of the morning, he received the good news from the 40th Army, and Li Zongren, who woke up in the middle of the night and had not slept yet, was also extremely excited. In Li Zongren's view, the strategic position of Yicheng is very important. Cutting off the way for the Japanese army to retreat to Yicheng, the Japanese army had to choose other routes to break through.

The most likely direction to break through is perhaps to join the Japanese Fifth Division. At this moment, Li Zongren had already transferred a corps and inserted it into the middle of the two divisions and regiments, strengthening the defensive arrangements there.

If the Japanese army wants to break through the interception of this legion, it will have to pay a heavy price. The main force of the 59th Army, which had been besieged by the Japanese army earlier, also turned to attack at this moment, launching a counterattack against the Japanese army that had attacked them earlier, taking the attacking Japanese army by surprise.

In Zhang Zizhong's words, the little devils have beaten them for so long, and now it's their turn to fight back. The reserve team left earlier was also sent out by Zhang Zizhong. Coupled with the cooperation of various other counterattack forces, it was extremely difficult for the Japanese army to deal with it.

As the sky brightened, the 10th Division, which had been urgently retracted, still gathered tens of thousands of main forces. Many Japanese commanders knew that the troops that failed to get close on time were only afraid of more bad luck.

The chief of staff of the division and regiment who was in charge of assisting in the operation, looked at the smoky command headquarters, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Division commander, we have lost contact with the Yicheng Wing, and the contact with the tank squadron that sent reinforcements has also been interrupted!" ”

"What? Didn't the defenders of Yicheng report an hour ago, and they had already seen the chariot squadron that had returned to help? ”

"Yes! But I had several telegrams sent in succession, but the infantry wing never answered. The strangest thing is that if the chariot squadron had arrived safely in Yicheng at this moment, they would have sent back a telegram informing them of their safe arrival in Yicheng. ”

Listening to the news of the report of the embankment, the division commander Isoya Ryosuke also said anxiously: "If Yicheng is lost, then we must revise the breakthrough plan." Examine! Immediately send a report to the army aviation and ask them to send fighter planes to Yicheng to check the situation. ”

"Hey! What should I do with the breakthrough plan made earlier? ”

"Wait! After daybreak, the air force would send a squadron of fighters to come to support. Through the peripheral troops, it is necessary to block the counterattack of the Chinese army. Divisional artillery units are on standby at all times to provide artillery support to front-line troops. ”

In consideration of the security of the division and regimental headquarters, the infantry wings that had been ordered to move closer earlier had already built temporary blocking fortifications and positions on the periphery of the divisional and regimental garrisons. The artillery units directly under the division and regiment can provide artillery support at any time.

Of the two tank squadrons directly under the division, only one remains, ready at any time to protect the evacuation of the divisional headquarters. In general, the 10th Division is in a very dangerous situation at present, but it is not completely incapable of counterattacking.

As for the weapons and ammunition stored by the 10th Division, it is believed that fighting with the attacking anti-Japanese troops for a day or two is not a big problem. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is that the ammunition of all units should be spared now, and it is not as open to fight as before.

Although the supply of ammunition for the division is not a problem for the time being, if it is really surrounded by the troops of the 5th theater, the situation waiting for the 10th division will be very unfavorable. If you can't get supplies from the rear, the stored supplies will always be consumed one day.

If it falls into a situation where it runs out of ammunition and food, then the fate of the 10th Division will be completely annihilated. Under such circumstances, Ryosuke Isoya, as the commander of the division, must command the troops as soon as possible to get out of this deadly crisis.

Originally, the 10th Division planned to retreat to the territory of Yicheng, and the surrounding area of Yicheng had been occupied and swept by the Japanese army earlier. But no one expected that before the division began to retreat, it found that Yicheng could not be contacted, and Yicheng was very likely to be recovered by the anti-Japanese forces.

If this is the case, then the 10th Division must reconsider the route of the breakout and coordinate with the rest of the Japanese army. Without the support and assistance of other troops, the 10th Division would have suffered heavy losses if it wanted to break through.

As the main combat division of the Japanese army, each division is extremely important. If the 10th Division was heavily damaged, it would also be a huge loss to the Japanese base camp. After the full-scale war, the Japanese army was already insufficient.

Although the mainland has already launched a plan to expand the army, it will take a long time for the recruits to be recruited to really become an army and come in handy. The combat effectiveness of the units that have completed the training of recruits will also be greatly weakened by assigning them to divisions and regiments.

On the other hand, as the defensive side, the national army's expansion plan has never stopped. Even though the casualties of the various units were huge, more and more veterans survived. I have had many confrontations with the Japanese army, and I am not as afraid of the Japanese army as before.

This situation is happening on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. Over time, the current advantages of the Japanese army will continue to shrink, while the advantages of the anti-Japanese forces will continue to increase, which may also be one of the reasons for the final defeat of the Japanese army!

Regarding Hu Biao, who fought with Ryosuke Isoya and withdrew to the temporary camp with the spy company, he didn't care too much. Looking at the two seriously wounded people who were carried back to the camp, Hu Biao finally chose to perform the field surgery himself.

The two seriously injured were both wounded in the abdomen by shrapnel from the little devil, and Hu Biao also had a set of surgical tools in his personal space. The only regret may be that there is no complete disinfection equipment, and the risk of surgical infection is very high.

But this kind of battlefield surgery is not done by anyone around Yicheng at all. As for sending them to the rear hospital, I am afraid that after the others are delivered, both team members may be sacrificed. Battlefield surgery, sometimes it's a gamble of luck.

Looking at the wounded who were carried into the simple operating room, Hu Biao also said solemnly: "Boy, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid! I know the captain is here to save my life! ”

"Good! Close your eyes and wait for the shrapnel to be removed, and you'll be able to save your life! ”

For other surgeries, Hu Biao may not understand at all. can be similar to this kind of surgery to remove shrapnel and bullets, when he was a mercenary in his previous life, Hu Biao also did it several times for his comrades. Some people are lucky to survive, and some people don't!

All in all, in this case, there may be a silver lining to surgery. If you don't have surgery, you will really die. The only thing to be thankful for may be the two wounded, and the injured parts are not considered vital parts.

Lin Yashi, who was in charge of acting as an assistant, was still very worried: "Captain, do you really know how to do surgery?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm not joking with the lives of soldiers. If the shrapnel is not removed from their bodies, they will surely die. Take out the shrapnel now, if you're lucky enough not to get infected, maybe they'll be saved! ”

Compared with Hu Biao and Lin Yashi, who were staying in the temporary operating room, Xu Sandao and others, who were staying outside, were still very surprised: "I really didn't expect that the captain would have surgery!" What else would he not have? ”

"Don't rejoice too soon! The captain also said before that the risk of surgery is also very high, and whether those two guys can survive depends on their own luck. I really didn't expect that we would lose two brothers here! ”

Since going north, although some team members have been injured, no one has been killed. This time attacked Yicheng, but two members of the team died directly. This also made Xu Sandao and others realize that they still can't be proud, and they will still die if they are not careful in battle!
