Knowing that the main force of the division had successfully intercepted the colonial troops trying to escape, the commander of the Japanese front in the rear undoubtedly looked extremely happy. The three roads went hand in hand, two of which were basically declared invalid, and temporarily stopped at the same drum line on standby.

Originally, the elite of the two divisions were assembled in an attempt to recover the field where the 55th Division was annihilated. But no one expected that Tonggucheng was indeed captured, but a division that was stationed in Tonggucheng was basically destroyed by an explosion.

The remaining 33rd Division, which attacked Renqiang City, was undoubtedly pinned on high hopes by the Japanese front. As far as the Japanese army was concerned, the colonial oil fields in Renqiang could not be given up by the Japanese army under any circumstances, and they had to seize them.

Seeing that the colonial army had been cut off from retreating, the division commander of the 33rd Division of the Japanese army immediately instructed the troops: "Order all units to tighten their pockets, trap these colonial troops in the desert area, and force them to surrender!" ”

The commander of the Japanese division, who knew that rabbits would bite people in a hurry, also knew that the colonial army had not a lot of remaining troops, and it was also equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles. If it weren't for the bravery of the interspersed troops, it would have been possible for these colonial troops to escape.

Considering the possible losses caused by the attack, the commander of the Japanese division finally decided to use the colonial army as a bait to lure the expeditionary army to come to the rescue. Second, by cutting off water sources, the colonial army was forced to surrender to them.

Earlier, he had already received a main division sent by the expeditionary army and was rushing in the direction of Renqiang City, and the commander of the Japanese division asked again: "Where has the main division sent by the Chinese Army arrived at present?" ”

"Report to the commander of the division, no news has been received at the moment. According to the information provided earlier by the Special High School, if they march in a hurry overnight, they should arrive tomorrow morning. By that time, our two infantry wings were already in place. ”

"Yo Breath! Don't be careless, these Chinese troops are very cunning, understand? ”

"Hey!"

It was not easy to catch such a large net of fish, and the commander of the Japanese division naturally did not want to capsize in the gutter, and while strengthening the vigilance of the surrounding area, he also maintained close contact with the special high school to keep abreast of the situation of the rescue troops of the expeditionary army at all times.

However, the commander of the Japanese division did not know that the intelligence officers sent by the Special High Division were all captured or eliminated by the reconnaissance detachment of the Special Operations Brigade when they tried to track down the new 38th Division. This is also the reason why the Japanese divisions and regiments are unable to grasp accurate information.

If it advances on foot, it will indeed take a long time for the new 38th Division to reach the territory of Renqiang. But after Hu Biao contacted all parties, he deployed a car battalion here in advance to transport soldiers.

Even at midnight, when he learned that the main force of the division had arrived outside the city, Liu Fangwu, who had been dormant for a long time, also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Okay! The main force of the division has arrived, and we are almost ready to do it, right? ”

"No hurry! It doesn't hurt to wait! Fighting in the dark, we are the attacking side, which is somewhat inconvenient. ”

When all the members of the new 38th Division arrived, the supervision team also received an order from Hu Biao. At the same time, the trapped colonial army camp also received an encrypted telegram, which was still very brief: "Prepare to break out!" ”

The commander of the colonial army, Srem, who was woken up, looked at the dark sky outside the tent and said, "Break through at this time? Isn't that a joke? Did the alert force hear anything? Could it be that the troops that support us have arrived? ”

"General, we don't know what's going on outside! What to do? ”

"Wait and see! Inform the tank troops and prepare for a breakthrough. Although I don't know why General Hu sent me a telegram at this time, I know that the Huaxia army seems to be very good at night battles and sneak attack battles! ”

"Yes, General!"

Just when the colonial army began to inform the chariot troops to prepare for the breakthrough and artillery bombardment, the Japanese troops who were responsible for monitoring the colonial army were also quickly awakened. For a time, the Japanese troops, who were resting, were also urgently awakened and began to board the defensive position.

Liu Fangwu's regiment, which had already set up several mortars, all the attacking troops gathered at the front of the position, and as Liu Fangwu fired into the sky, these mortars instantly hit the Japanese defensive position, and the sound of artillery instantly woke up the colonial army.

"Brothers, kill!"

Under the cover of artillery fire, Liu Fangwu's unit, which had already touched the rear of the Japanese position, used the light machine guns added by the division headquarters to form several machine gun squads and began to fire frantically at the Japanese position, and the follow-up riflemen also quickly followed.

The commander of the infantry wing, who was guarding against the breakthrough of the colonial army, heard the sound of guns coming from the rear of the position, and his face instantly changed drastically: "Baga! What's going on? Who is sneaking up on our rear? ”

"Captain, it's the Chinese Army! I don't know when they touched the edge of our position. Our vigilance force did not issue any warning at all. Now they are quickly breaking through our positions! ”

"Yaga! Block, in any case, we can't let them penetrate our defensive positions. Send a report to the division commander immediately, we need support! Damn, where did these China troops come from? Why didn't the division remind? ”

Knowing that the expeditionary army appeared at this time, it must have come to rescue the trapped colonial army, and the Japanese wing commander also seemed very anxious. Faced with a battlefield situation in which they are flanked by the front and rear, their infantry wing will also become extremely dangerous.

At the same time, Srem, who heard the sound of gunfire, said with a look of surprise: "God, our reinforcements have arrived!" Quickly, immediately blow the rallying call, and order the troops to attack at once and completely crush the Fuso army that was blocking our way. ”

"Yes, General!"

As the colonial army reacted quickly, the armored tanks and many infantry under its command also joined the battle sequence of the breakthrough. The Japanese army, which had only one infantry wing, was simply not able to form an effective interception.

On the other hand, the Japanese divisions that were being deployed nearby were preparing to mobilize reinforcements for support. Sun Liren, who had arrived outside the city of Renqiang, also received a telegram from Hu Biao. Knowing that the Japanese were on the move, he knew the time had come.

"Pass my order, take the regiment as the combat unit, penetrate directly from the left and right flanks, and meet the foreign army to break through as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Master!"

The Japanese army here had just packed up their things and rushed to the rescue, but who knew that there were countless expeditionary troops on the left and right sides. Under the sound of gunfire, the commander of the Japanese division quickly realized that the expeditionary army ordered to reinforce had arrived ahead of schedule.

"How is this possible? Will they fly? After such a long journey, they actually arrived in advance? ”

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, what now?"

"Transfer the reserves, no matter how you block these Chinese troops, you must not let them join the colonial army!"

"Hey!"

"Send another telegram to Your Excellency Commander, we need support! Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to stand in the way of the colonial army! ”

"Hey!"

Several orders were issued one after another, and the surrounding area of the colonial army was beaten into a pot of porridge. Compared with the Japanese divisions, which were too scattered and began to transfer troops from other places, Sun Liren commanded his subordinates to go directly to the place where the colonial army was trapped.

During this period, a main battalion under Liu Fangwu successfully broke through the Japanese interception and finally connected with the colonial army. Seeing the expeditionary force that successfully joined his division, those colonial officers and soldiers who were breaking through couldn't help but shout.

The supervisory team members who accompanied the main battalion quickly said: "I am Captain Zheng Bin of the expeditionary force supervision team, and I need to meet your commander." At present, the Fuso army is rapidly encircling, and we must speed up the retreat! ”

"Good! Captain Zheng, please follow me! ”

Hearing that Zheng Bin actually spoke fluent English, a lieutenant colonel of the colonial army, he also thanked him politely, and led Zheng Bin to Srem. With the guidance of the supervision team, the colonial army began to use artillery fire to support Liu Fangwu's troops.

In the face of the general trend has gone, the remaining little devils of the infantry wing can only be helplessly defeated in the end. If the fight continues, the entire wing may be completely annihilated. It didn't take long for Liu Fangwu to lead the main force and successfully join the colonial army.

"Colonel Liu, thank you! I really didn't expect you to arrive in such a short time! ”

"Mr. General, as allies and allies, this is what we should do. Time is pressing, our division commander is holding back the main force of the Fusang Division, and I also ask your department to get on the road quickly, and we will take your place as your highest. ”

"Thank you! Thank you so much! ”

As the besieged colonial army began to quickly withdraw from the encirclement of the Japanese army, those colonial army reporters who escaped from life also began to face up to the officers and soldiers who went out to conquer the army. In the eyes of these journalists, the officers and men of the expeditionary army are heroes.

When Sun Liren led the main force of the division and successfully joined the colonial army, the sky finally brightened. Relying on the blockade of the new 38th Division, the 33rd Division, which was taken by surprise, had no choice but to give an order to stop the pursuit.

As the leader of the supervision team appointed by Hu Biao, Major Zhou, who received the telegram from Hu Biao, also immediately asked: "General Srem, do you plan to continue to retreat next, or are you willing to stay and fight against the Fusang army?" ”

Faced with such an inquiry, Sleem, who had finally escaped alive, was slightly embarrassed and said, "Mr. Major, I'm very sorry! After retreating all the way, my subordinates are very tired, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to stay and continue to fight with you, please forgive me! ”

"So the general is hoping that we can intercept Fusang's pursuers for you?"

"Yes!"

"Thank you for your candor! In view of the current form, our general hopes that you will leave your equipment behind. And we will provide a batch of cars to send you to a safer rear.

I'm sure you have also seen that General Sun and his subordinates are very ordinary. Without sufficient weapons and equipment, it would be difficult for them to hold back the Fuso army for too long. With enough weapons, they can buy you at least two days to retreat! ”

Sun Liren, who stayed next to listen to this, felt that this task was a bit difficult. When he learned that Major Zhou had asked for armor and tanks from the colonial army for him, he began to rejoice in his heart. With these weapons equipped, his division can be regarded as a shotgun for artillery.

When it came to the transfer of equipment, Srem naturally did not dare to make an arbitrary decision. After asking for instructions, the colonial army, which had promised to equip Sun Liren with a regiment of tank armor, finally agreed and handed over the equipment he carried.

Carrying these bulky weapons and equipment on the road only delayed their retreat. Now that Sun Liren doesn't dislike these second-hand equipment, why is the colonial army unhappy? If they don't give some benefits, how can they expect the new 38th Division to be their queen?
