Sun Lianzhong was born in the Northwest Army, an authentic miscellaneous unit, although there is no problem with his military exploits to be the commander of the theater, but he did not go up when the chairman was in power, and now Li Zongjian is in power, but he is also the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater, and he is not ready to let Sun Lianzhong take the position, Sun Lianzhong knows very well, if nothing else, he will be a deputy commander-in-chief of the theater in his life.

Now Chen Chen has given him this opportunity, he has no reason to push it out, Jiang Haoran is now in full swing, his reputation among the party-state and the people is getting higher and higher, and the connections left by the chairman are gradually absorbed by him, if time will inevitably become a climate, Sun Lianzhong is also a personal essence, he can understand these simple truths, so he agreed to Chen Chen almost without hesitation.

Three hours later, the news came from the special operations division that the entire defense line of Sunmiao had been broken, and they would continue to advance and smash Huanglong Mansion.

Sun Lianzhong had nothing to say, so he immediately ordered his troops to attack on all fronts, the Third Army continued to attack the Maji and Gongdian defense lines, and the 21st Group Army rushed through the gap in Sunmiao to rescue the trapped two group armies while launching an encirclement and counter-encirclement against the enemy.

Although the enemy's armor has been shattered, but in the end it is a unit of an army, this is still a severe test for the troops of the Fifth Theater, they are not as fierce as the special operations division, and the weapons and equipment are not at the same level, especially when the troops are in a weak position, they feel even more pressure, fortunately, the special operations division just showed that the entire 21st Group Army is behind them, and the high morale brought is indescribable.

Jinan, the former enemy headquarters of the island army.

Okamura Ningji is thundering, the command is gloomy and miserable, at this time it is not a major matter for a twentieth division to be defeated, as soon as Sun Temple is broken, the encirclement will be interspersed with thousands of holes, and the most important line of defense in the middle of northern Anhui will be in danger, and Okamura Ningci will be able to calm down.

"Immediately telegraphed to the commander of the First Army, King Hatohiko of the First Army, ordering him to immediately organize troops to carry out a comprehensive elimination of the enemy in the encirclement, and order the 42nd Army in the direction of Zhengzhou to send two divisions to reinforce it."

Okamura Ninji remained calm while being angry, and issued several orders in a row to make amends for the defeat on the battlefield ahead, and before facing Jiang Haoran again, he had already been mentally prepared, and his heart was obviously much stronger than before.

As soon as the order was issued, Kinoshita Yong, the deputy chief of general staff on the side, immediately said suspiciously: "Old sir, the 42nd Army in the direction of Zhengzhou only has six divisions, but to face the troops in the first theater of the army and the second theater of Yan Laoxi, their pressure is not small, and now it is too much to transfer two divisions at one time?" In my opinion, it would be more appropriate to transfer a division from the 12th Army in Hefei to balance it. ”

Chief of Staff Ishihara Wan'er hurriedly replied: "Kinoshita-kun, you don't know this, the first and second theaters of the Zhina Army are two paper tigers, from the beginning of the war to the present, they have not pushed forward, especially Yan Laoxi, the old slippery head who dances on three eggs, is bent on preserving his strength, and has no intention of fighting the locust army at all, the locust army is enough to deal with them with four divisions, but it is in the direction of Hefei, although the front line is the 27th Group Army, the Tuba Road, the New Fourth Army, and a female division of what kind of women's division, They are all some miscellaneous armies that do not enter the stream, but the past battles tell us that they dare to fight hard, so the troops in the direction of Hefei must not move, not only can not move, once the crisis in the middle is solved, they must also increase troops in this area as soon as possible. ”

"Yo Xi, what Ishihara-kun said is extremely true!" Okamura nodded.

At this moment, a staff officer hurriedly came in with a telegram in his hand to report that the First Army had sent a message that the special operations division did not randomly rush into the encirclement, but went straight forward, and the new third division rushed straight to Wangshi one after the other.

"It's not good, they are going to directly rescue the four descendants in front of Jiang Haoran!" As soon as the staff officer's voice fell, Ishihara Wan'er shouted.

On the entire defense line in northern Anhui, Wangshi's position is relatively backward, close to the Xiqi River to connect Lixin, which is the junction of the First Army and the Tenth Army of the Locust Army.

This move can also be said that the special operations division is to treat the locust army as nothing, arrogant, they have to pass through the defense area of the three divisions outside the locust encirclement circle along the way, but also to guard against possible reinforcements from the locust army in the direction of Hefei, what is even more exaggerated is that even if it arrives in Wangshi, it is not a problem for the locust army to draw two divisions from the Tenth Army to come forward, no matter how brave the special operations division is, if Okamura Ninji is willing to give up the two group armies in the encirclement and surround the special operations division and the new third division in turn, he can gather more than four divisions to besiege them, It is not an exaggeration to say that they are riding alone for 100 miles.

But Okamura Ninji was obviously not prepared to do this, between the two army groups and the two divisions, he could clearly distinguish which was more important, of course, these two divisions were far higher in his heart than those two group armies, but at the moment the locust army needed a big victory to boost morale, and the name of the group army was undoubtedly more attractive.

Although he did not go all out, he also made great efforts to take precautions, and Okamura Ninji immediately ordered three divisions along the way to harass them all the way to delay their march.

The 10th Army was ordered to immediately dispatch two divisions to the east bank of the Xiqi River to build a defensive line, and block the Special Operations Division and the New Third Division on the other side of the Xiqi River.

At the same time, the Tenth Army was ordered to intensify the liquidation of the four divisions in the encirclement, and only by destroying this source could all the efforts of the special operations division be in vain.

At noon that day, the temporary headquarters of the new 2nd Division.

Because the defensive line of the three infantry divisions was only five kilometers in radius, and the battle had reached the most critical moment, several division commanders gathered together to hold an emergency meeting in the face of the rumbling guns outside.

Yin Tonglai said: "Let's talk about what to do, now the special operations division and the new third division have broken through the Sunmiao defense line and are heading straight for us, according to Chu Zhongtian's prediction, they will cross the Xiqi River tomorrow morning and join us in the evening, but now the attack of the island army is getting more and more crazy, how should we fight the current battle?" ”

As soon as Yin Tonglai's voice fell, Yuan Dong's neck tilted, and he said fiercely: "If you are afraid of a ball, you will fight to the death with them!" ”

Yin Tonglai and Xu Biao glanced at Yuan Dong at the same time, but they both shook their heads and lowered their heads in thought, Yuan Dong belongs to Liu Dakun's kind of person, with developed limbs and a simple mind, and it is a lever to charge into battle, and it is difficult for him to come up with a plan. At present, more than half of the three infantry divisions have suffered casualties, and the new second division has almost been crippled, so what can such a force use to fight to the death with the enemy?
