Amid laughter and laughter, a staff officer of the island army hurriedly walked into the headquarters and reported to Okamura Ninji that the Chongqing Government had just held a news conference in Wuhan and raised a high-profile slogan that it would launch a retaliatory napalm strategic bombardment against the locust army troops on the entire line at about 8 o'clock tomorrow, and that whatever the locust army had given them, they would return to the locust army tomorrow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Hahaha, what a big breath, and I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue?" Okamura Ningji looked up to the sky and laughed, if he was yesterday he might have been a little worried, but today four aircraft carriers sailed into Hangzhou Bay, two naval aviation teams are ready to fight, and the carrier-based aircraft is the latest development of the "Gale" fighter, this fighter combines the zero battle of the locust army and the Mustang of the national army, and is not worse than their Mustang in terms of performance, plus two army aviation flight regiments, the air power of the locust army will definitely not be worse than the national army in terms of quality, quantity, and technology of the locust army, why should they retaliate against the locust army? It's a great air battle with them.

Compared to Okamura Ningji, Chief of Staff Ishihara Waner was obviously not so optimistic, he immediately frowned, pondered for a few seconds and said: "Okamura-kun, this matter can't be careless, they are so blatantly clamoring, there must be some conspiracy." ”

"Conspiracy? Hmph, of course they have a conspiracy! I dare to conclude that this must be another trick by Jiang Haoran, the purpose of which is to keep the locusts in a defensive state tomorrow and not to attack the army in the encirclement, intending to use a bluff to buy time for them, because Jiang Haoran knows that after the army in the encirclement is hit by this heavy loss, it will be impossible to block the attack of the locust army, and the destruction will be tomorrow, but his wishful thinking will never start, and he will give the order and order all the troops in the front line to attack as soon as dawn. ”

"Yo Xi!" A staff officer agreed, turned and left.

"Wait!" Ishihara Wan'er stopped the staff officer and said to Okamura Ningji: "Okamura-kun, things won't be so simple, I think that Jiang Haoran will really do this tomorrow, and give back to him in his own way, he has this condition, which is also in line with his character, but I can't figure out why he told us the news, is it really just to prove to the world that he Jiang Haoran is a person who will repay him?" ”

Okamura Ninji lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, and said: "Even if he really does this, we are not afraid, it's a big deal to use all the fighters tomorrow to defend the front line in northern Anhui, and be ready to fight a decisive battle with them in the air at any time." ”

Ishihara bit his lip and didn't respond for a long time, before he sighed and said: "Jiang Haoran is really an inscrutable opponent, he doesn't play cards according to common sense at all, maybe we can't guess what he's going to do until tomorrow, but I have a strong intuition, things are by no means as simple as we see on the surface, and everything can only be carefully guarded against." ”

……

The next day, early in the morning, the sky was just dawning, and the temporary headquarters of the new third division.

Yin Tonglai's eyes were bloodshot, his face was hideous and terrifying, and he was looking at a piece of paper in his hand, which was shaking violently like dancing in his hand, and it was obvious that the content on it was unbearable for him.

Suddenly, he roared: "Wipe your grandma's, little devil Lao Tzu is your ancestor!" Then he frantically tore the paper in his hand into pieces and lifted it up.

This is a list of casualty reports, and it took the soldiers a night of hard work to clear the battlefield destroyed by napalm, extinguish the embers with sand, rescue the wounded, and restore the destroyed fortifications, and only now have the final casualty report been made.

The entire New Third Division and the Tank Division are close to 50,000 soldiers, and after two battles, only one-third is left, and basically even the formation is disabled, and the tanks, heavy artillery, and these weapons are not even one-third, this is a big defeat that they have never experienced, and the most worrisome thing is that they have hardly even touched the hair of the little devil, and no one can accept this evil breath.

Not far behind the headquarters is the field hospital, the wails of the wounded soldiers are heard from time to time, and the napalm is seriously injured at all, and the high temperature of 2,000 degrees will instantly burn the bones, even if it is covered with soil in time, it is a large hollow, and the whole person is basically wasted, and the pain brought is very unbearable, and it is extremely cruel.

Chief of Staff Tong Fulin said gloomily: "I just asked about the casualties of the new Second Division and the New Fourth Division, they are better than us, after all, we are the enemy's key targets, but the casualties are also nearly half, in the current form, we are afraid it will be difficult for us to block the enemy's next round of attack, division, now our defense line is still five kilometers long, why don't you let Division Commander Xu and Division Commander Yuan move closer to us and shrink the defense line to within three kilometers?" ”

Yin Tonglai said: "Shrink a fart, and then shrink the artillery fire of the little devils can cover us all, without helicopters and napalm." ”

"But ......".

"Boom, boom!"

Tong Fulin was about to say something, but suddenly there was a dense explosion outside, and the little devil began to attack.

"Herald, order all units to guard to the death, even if you hit the last person, you are not allowed to take a step back!" Yin Tonglai howled hoarsely.

……

North Anhui Maji, Gongdian, Wangshi, Lixin line.

In the early morning mist, the guns and cannons rumbled, and there were people everywhere, mixed with the roar of machines.

Here, the little devils also began to attack, and after a round of artillery fire covered, the tanks opened the way, and heavy troops gathered, attacking the defense line of the 30th Army and the 11th Army of the National Army from all directions.

Okamura Ninji did not intend to give the national army any respite, and all the men and horses of the two armies were thrown into this great encirclement and suppression, and there were not even reserve troops left, and the intention of destroying them in one fell swoop was obvious.

The officers and men of the Nationalist Army, who had just suffered heavy losses, were unable to hold back their attack at all, and they were almost defeated like a mountain, and the troops were like water, and in less than two hours, the defensive line shrank by more than ten miles; at this rate, I am afraid that in less than a day, the Nationalist Army of the two group armies will have no place to retreat, and their destruction is inevitable.

At 7:30 a.m., the air force of the Nationalist army finally arrived, and the planes began to dive and strafe bombs on the island army, but they did not use napalm.

The distance between the two armies was too close to each other, and the use of napalm could not avoid accidental injuries.

But the enemy's attack was also thwarted, and hundreds of huge aircraft flew back and forth over the enemy's head, and the ground seemed to shake as if the ground was shaking with a dense number of aerial bombs.

Unfortunately, this scene did not last long, and in less than ten minutes, dense black spots appeared in the sky in the southeast direction, densely covering the sky and the sun, and the air force of the island army was killed.
