Chapter 538: Eruption is about to erupt
But although the road has to go on, otherwise God knows what will happen if they wait until dawn, although dawn also means that they can get their own air support, but the other party's plane is not vegetarian, in case the other side drops a few bombs down, who will he shout injustice to.

Naobu Hirosawa was a very cautious soldier, and he immediately gave the order after making up his mind.
"Asano Shintamam Daisa!"
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, please give the order!"
"Immediately order the 98th Infantry Brigade and the 278th Infantry Brigade to immediately spread out on both flanks with us as the center, and the search range of the reconnaissance troops is wide to a range of five kilometers from the two flanks, but order them to pay attention to concealment and report to the division headquarters as soon as there is any situation!"
"Hai, please rest assured, I'll do it right away!"
As soon as the order was given, Sarozawa Naobu jumped into his armored command vehicle and began to merge into the rolling marching procession.
At 23:56 p.m. on May 6, 1940, in a military camp five kilometers south of Xiaoling Village
Sun Liren, the commander of the 350th Division, was sitting on a stone waiting for an important telegram from the reconnaissance unit ahead.
In the past few days, he successfully used aircraft bombing, infantry to launch a feint and other ways to express a signal to the Japanese army, he is leading the main force of the division to storm Zhou Ning, the entire Zhou Ning defense line has been crumbling, if you don't send reinforcements, I'm afraid Zhou Ning will be lost in a short period of time, in order to achieve this purpose, he even made a special request to Su Jin, dispatched a Stuka dive bomber squadron and a "shrew" fighter squadron to his command around the clock, In the past two days, more than 1,000 tons of aerial bombs have been dropped on Zhouning's defense line alone, and even Huang Weiguo, who is the chief of staff, was a little shocked to see so many bombs. When Huang Jianguo cautiously asked whether the ammunition consumed was too much, Sun Liren replied like this.
"The question of how much ammunition is consumed is not my business, I am only responsible for making requests, and then leading the troops to victory, that's all!"
In fact, Sun Liren's attitude is also a typical American way of thinking, looking at the US military's combat mode in another time and space. The favorite thing for American officers to do is to use the advantage of equipment and firepower to pour as many shells on the enemy's head as possible, kill and wound the enemy to the greatest extent, and then send the infantry to achieve victory at the minimum cost.
Sun Liren, who graduated from the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, undoubtedly inherited this combat idea of the US military, but after returning to China, the almost zero industrial base in China could not support such a luxurious combat method, and Sun Liren was not in a position to carry out such a luxurious combat method when he served in the Tax Police Corps, but since he came to the Third Army, with the almost unconditional support of Su Jin, Sun Liren could finally implement this kind of extravagant combat method, and he was so happy in his heart.
In order to exert maximum pressure on the defenders of Zhouning, Sun Liren let the dive bombers keep dropping heavy aerial bombs on the Japanese army in Zhouning, in order to compete for the air supremacy of this generation, in just three days, several air battles have broken out here, with the excellent performance of the "shrew" fighter, the Japanese army began to stop after losing more than 40 aircraft. And just when Zhou Ning was in a mess, Sun Liren took advantage of the night to quietly move two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a tank battalion to both sides of an unnamed mountain village twelve kilometers south of Zhou Ning, which is also the limit of the troops that Sun Liren can mobilize.
"Master, the Japanese really took the bait!" Chief of Staff Huang Jianguo hurriedly ran over with a telegram.
"Show me!" Sun Liren took the telegram from Huang Jianguo's hand and read it again, and finally let out a long sigh.
He looked up at the commanders of the two infantry regiments, the battalion commanders of the tank battalion, and the commander of the artillery regiment who were looking at him and said: "Brothers, just now our "weasel" reconnaissance team that was ambushed in front sent a telegram, and the content of the telegram was: Wild boars have appeared! ”
"Okay...... The little devil has finally appeared! ”
"This time you can have a good fight with the little devils!"
"What's the noise, listen to the master!"
After hearing Sun Liren's telegram, the officers began to get excited one by one, and when Sun Liren stood up, everyone stopped talking and looked at him one by one.
Sun Liren was wearing a gray military uniform similar to that of an ordinary soldier, and a military coat without a military rank on the outside, and looked at everyone with bright eyes. I saw him say loudly: "Brothers, tonight is a special day for our 350th Division, why do you say that, because today we have to fight hard with the Japanese, if we succeed, then our division can get rid of the title of rookie division from now on, and we can also hold our chests high and say to the 347, 348, 349 and other brother troops, although our 350th Division is a new unit that has just been formed, we are no worse than any other army, and we can also do what you can do!" We can still completely annihilate one of the Japanese divisions, and whoever wants to underestimate our 350th Division in the future will have to weigh and weigh whether he has the qualifications! ”
"Yes, let's let those guys see that our 350th Division can also fight!"
"That's it, why do those guys look down on us!"
After listening to Sun Liren's words, the faces of the officers began to turn a little red. The 350th Division is a newly formed unit, and most of the officers in it, except for a small number who have been transferred from other units, are newly promoted officers; although there is no difference between the troops' weapons and equipment, military salaries, and other aspects from other units, these officers encounter the 347th and 348th Divisions and other veteran units on weekdays
When they were officers, the sense of superiority exuded by the words and demeanors of these officers made them very unhappy, wasn't it two years earlier? Why is he an uncle in front of Lao Tzu, it is that both officers and soldiers of the 350th Division hold their breath on weekdays, and they all want to fight a good shot to prove that they are also an excellent army.
"Brothers, are you all ready?"
"Report to the chief, let's get ready!"
"Good...... Now I command, the "Fox Hunt" program begins! ”
With Sun Liren's order, the soldiers of the two infantry regiments that had been ready, as well as a tank battalion, immediately entered their respective attack positions, and a big battle was about to break out...... (To be continued.) )
