January 6, 1942.

Under the command of Sun Yumin, the artillery units of the Ninth Theater launched an artillery bombardment of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, followed closely by the 20th Division of the 12th Army, and under the personal leadership of the division commander Zhang Xiaohu, they gathered the strength of the whole division and launched an all-out attack on the 3rd Division from the left and rear of the Japanese army. At the same time, Li Yutang's 10th Army and Ou Zhen's 4th Army, which had been holding Changsha for two days, attacked from inside the city, forming a situation of flanking the Japanese 3rd Division on three sides.

When the Chinese army had just shelled, Toshima Fangtaro made up his mind to retreat and sent a telegram to the headquarters of the 11th Army, which was only a procedure that must be performed as a soldier, and no matter whether Anan Yui agreed with him or not, retreat was imperative.

Although Toshima had prepared this plan and had already ordered the troops to start retreating, he didn't expect it to be too late.

As soon as the shelling ended, the three regiments of the 58th Brigade of the 20th Division were like three sharp knives, launching a tidal attack on the two wings of the 29th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army in a radius of several dozen miles south of Changsha City.

After the initial panic, the junior officers and military officers played the role of the core and backbone, and soon organized a defense, although this small-scale defense did not play a great role, but it still hindered the offensive of the Chinese army.

As the Chinese army's offensive was blocked, after retreating for more than ten miles, the Devil officers finally gathered their troops and built improvised fortifications on the spot, and a defensive line was hastily arranged amid the rumbling gunfire.

The 115th Regiment of the 58th Brigade, which was chasing the remnants of the Japanese army like a water dog, was caught off guard by the devil's defense line that suddenly appeared on the pursuit road, especially the three battalions at the front, which suffered heavy casualties, and two companies were disabled.

The same situation happened to the other two regiments, not that the three regiments of the 58th Brigade were too arrogant and careless, but that the Japanese army's reaction speed was too fast and the overall quality was too high. If this is replaced by the troops of the national army, let alone the organization of a large-scale defense line, it is impossible to complete even a decent defense. The 115th Regiment can be regarded as the number one regiment in the 58th Brigade and the 20th Division, and under the same circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to complete such a defensive line on the way to escape like the devil in front of him.

It was expected that the attack was blocked, and the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army was not a soft persimmon after all, and it was not something that anyone could pinch if they wanted to. Sun Yumin didn't plan to eat Toshima Botaro immediately, his initial plan was to deal with Kanda Masashi's Sixth Division first.

For this reason, he not only sent all Dong Wenbin brigades, but also brought the new 34th Division, which is a capital he is proud of. Although they were not able to let them have all the American equipment and German submachine guns, this was already obtained by Sun Yumin with all his might, and the equipment of other national armies was much better, and compared with the Japanese army, it was only superior and not lost.

The sins of the Sixth Division in Nanjing are the eternal hatred and pain in Sun Yumin's heart, and when he made the deployment of attacking the Sixth Division first, he decided to witness the destruction of these demons with his own eyes, so he ignored Deng Dongping's dissuasion and insisted on following the new 34th Division to the front line, even if he couldn't kill a few devils with his own hands, he had to feel the despair of these animals.

Since "killing" Zhanshutang and being whipped by Sun Yumin in a fit of rage, Li Tiedan and Dai Cunxiang have both restrained a lot, not that they are both scared, but because they are really guilty, after all, Deputy Commander Zhan died because of the two of them.

This time, Li Tiedan and Dai Cunxiang had a very tacit understanding with Dong Wenbin's brigade to attack the Japanese troops in Langli City, and they kept their mouths shut about going into battle in person, even if Dong Wenbin deliberately ridiculed them, neither of them was at all moved, until they received a telegram from Deng Dongping, saying that Sun Yumin had come over in person.

"Sao Ji Gong, Wen Bin, you said that the boss came because he didn't believe in us, or did he ......" Silly Xiong didn't finish all his words, he thought that Sun Yumin must have come to the new 34th Division because of itchy hands, and he definitely didn't trust the three of them, besides, if the boss of the three of them couldn't believe it, the 12th Army would have nothing to trust.

"Or what?" Dong Wenbin didn't think deeply, anyway, he is very happy now, sitting in a tank, bullets and grenades are basically ineffective against him, killing devils is like chopping melons and vegetables, this kind of "pain" of not being able to go to the battlefield in person, where can he understand.

"He said that the boss wanted to go to the battlefield in person, so he would come to supervise us." Dai Cunxiang's tone was full of disdain, he didn't treat Silly Bear as a division commander, and his own brother really didn't need to pay too much attention to these, and although this guy was a division commander, most of the daily military affairs were handled by Dai Cunxiang.

"Sao Ji Gong, you dare to pat your chest and say that the boss didn't mean that?" Silly Bear replied a little angrily.

"It's all the head of a division, can you have some success? You think everyone is like you and me, looking forward to going to the battlefield to kill devils with your own hands! Dai Cunxiang is very "shrewd" and classifies himself and the stupid bear, so that no matter how heavy the words are, the stupid bear can't get angry.

"Then what do you say he's doing?"

"From what I know about the boss, he came here ......" Dai Cunxiang deliberately paused, causing the stupid bear to stretch his neck, wanting to hear the reason in his mouth.

"I want to go to war!"

Dai Cunxiang's previous serious appearance made Silly Bear mistakenly think that he really knew what other reasons there were, but after hearing these four words, he was a little angry, is this not knowing how to play himself? But he couldn't be angry with him, so he had to glare at Dai Cunxiang fiercely.

"Alright, you two don't make trouble, after the shelling is over, we have to start attacking immediately." Dong Wenbin stopped the two from continuing to argue, he said: "My artillery regiment is not as generous as Zhang Xiaohu, he has no shells and can 'supply' from the little devil, my shells are one less shot, it is difficult to replenish, so don't expect the shelling to last for a long time, and don't expect this artillery bombardment to play a role." ”

"The attack is set up, but I have to stay in this room and stare at this map in a daze." Silly Bear said sourly: "It's not like some people, who go on a rampage in a tank. ”

"That's it!" Dai Cunxiang hit the stupid bear again.

"Don't stand and talk without back pain, Sao Jigong, I'm afraid you want to go to the battlefield more than me." When Silly Bear said this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Cunxiang, didn't you just say that the boss also wants to go to the battlefield?" Do you think he'll take us with him? ”

"Iron Guts, he's teasing you! Do you believe that? Dong Wenbin was a little helpless about the stupid bear, and he continued: "Why did the boss come, in fact, you should know best, the two of us followed him from Nanjing. ”

"I don't know, you tell me."

"Don't you know what the Sixth Division of the Devils did in Nanjing?" Dong Wenbin explained: "The boss has said more than once that we must clean up this sixth division, we were not prepared for the battle in September, let them slip away, do you think the boss will let them go this time?" ”

"It's because of this that the boss wants to go to the battlefield in person, the Sixth Division killed so many innocent people in Nanjing, and our old army teaching corps was also lost because of this battle, I guess the boss can't wait to kill the devil's division commander with his own hands." Silly Bear's words are the most brain-stirring in recent years, but in fact, the purpose is also very clear, that is, he wants to go to the battlefield.

"I can't talk to you." Dong Wenbin was speechless, all this guy wanted was to go to the battlefield, it was best for him to be a company commander, and it was really "Qu Cai" to be a division commander.

Silly Bear scratched his head embarrassedly, but soon asked a question that made Dong Wenbin smile bitterly: "Wenbin, do you still have a place on that tank?" Can you take me with you when you fight? ”

"Where are you going?"

The voice that said this was unusually familiar to Silly Bear, and even had a natural deterrent effect on him, and he actually shook violently.

Li Tiedan is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth, if there are still things or people in this world that make him afraid, it can only be Sun Yumin, who can make him tremble, except for Sun Yumin, there will be no other reason.

"Throne."

"Throne."

Dong Wenbin and Dai Cunxiang saluted and shouted respectfully.

"Old ...... Throne! Silly Bear didn't need to look back to know who was coming, his heart was inexplicably empty, he turned around and saluted Sun Yumin who came in, first wanted to call the boss, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and changed his name to the military seat.

"You haven't answered my question yet? Where do you want Wenbin to take you? How could Sun Yumin not know his thoughts, and deliberately asked again in a cold voice.

"I didn't ...... Didn't go anywhere. The stupid bear, who was full of vigor before, was completely wilted now, and there was a slight tremor in his voice when he answered.

Sun Yumin secretly laughed in his heart, but he didn't hold on to the stupid bear's pigtails anymore, after all, he came for business.

"Wen Bin, how long will it take for the shelling to end?"

"Eight minutes!" Dong Wenbin raised his wrist and looked at his watch.

"Cunxiang, have your troops reached the attack position?"

"The military seat, it arrived before the shelling, and now everything is ready." Dai Cunxiang's expression now is completely different from when he "teased" the stupid bear before, as the number one general under Sun Yumin, he is not in vain.

"Wen Bin, where are your armored troops? How prepared are you? Did the infantry use their own or with cunxiang? ”

"Everything is ready, I originally planned to borrow Cunxiang's regiment, but after thinking about it, I decided to use the newly formed infantry regiment, if they don't let them go through a few bloody battles, they will always be recruits."

"If you have faith!" Sun Yumin nodded in acquiescence, and he continued: "My requirements for this battle are very clear to the three of you, these animals of the Sixth Division, don't be merciful to them, my Twelfth Army doesn't have extra rations, so you don't have to take any prisoners for me!" ”

This is a naked order to leave no living mouth, you can't blame Sun Yumin for being too ruthless, blame only for the Sixth Division's actions on Chinese soil that have no bottom line, they have no humanity, how can Sun Yumin treat each other with humanity!

The garrison of the 6th Division, which crossed the river to Langli City, was the 45th Infantry Wing and the 6th Baggage Wing.

The two regiments of the new 34th Division and Dong Wenbin's armored infantry regiment attacked from three sides at the same time, and Langli City immediately became the center of the battlefield.

The 6th Division built two pontoon bridges here, except for the Dongshan Military Bridge and the Mopanzhou Gang Field, which had been blocked by the National Army, these two pontoon bridges that were still in the hands of the 45th Wing have become the only lifeline of the 3rd Division and the 6th Division.

In fact, if Kanda Masazhong could order the troops to retreat immediately, like Toshima Botaro, then no matter how fast Sun Yumin's new 34th Division and armored troops came, no matter how fierce the firepower was, it would be impossible to completely annihilate the 6th Division.

In his eyes, the failure of the 3rd Division to attack was the incompetence of Toshima and his troops, and if he changed the 6th Division to attack, Changsha City would already be in the bag.

Kanda Masashi's arrogance, coupled with the fact that Anan Yuji sent a telegram at this time, asking the Sixth Division to hold the pontoon bridge in Langli City for two days and cover the retreat of the Third Division from here. Two factors contributed to the real battle between Sun Yumin and Kanda Masa.

The outermost part of the city of Yuri was the position of the 45th Squadron of the 7th Wing of the Japanese Army. After experiencing the ferocious shelling of the Chinese army, it was already full of holes, and although the losses of the soldiers were not large, they could only see their own artillery bombardment of the Chinese army, and they were rarely bombed, and their morale was very low.

Even if the military Cao and the squad leader and squadron leader kept encouraging, the role was too limited, and the devil soldiers were listless in repairing the trenches.

After several days of rain and snow, the mud was unusually soft and more viscous than usual, which brought a lot of difficulty to the repair of the trenches.

The Sichuan army deliberately dug the trenches deep and wide for the physical defects of the devils, which is to prevent the devils' "bean chariots" from being anti-tank trenches, and can also make the devil soldiers go down to the trenches and not go up.

How can these trenches, which are completely "second-class crippled" in the Chinese army, be able to stop the American tanks that are more than one or two grades ahead of the bean tank!

Just as the devil soldiers were reluctantly repairing the trenches, there was a sudden roar of an engine not far away.

This sudden sound made the devil soldiers on this position in the north of Langli City stupid, and most of them stopped their movements and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

About 1,000 meters away from the position, there was a small fir forest, and the white snow covered with pins and needles could be clearly seen on the leaves and branches. The sound of these alarms came from behind the fir forest, and the ghost soldier Cao and the veterans had already heard the sound of the engine of the tank car, but at the same time they felt very puzzled, the muddy and unsightly road destroyed by the Chinese army had long been unsuitable for the passage of tanks, so the howitzers, mountain artillery, field artillery and tank units assigned to divisions and wings to fight were far behind the infantry.

The devil recruits didn't understand that much, and just followed the veteran's gaze and looked towards the fir forest together.

It wasn't until a red flag suddenly turned out from behind the forest that the devil soldiers reacted, not their own tank troops, but the Chinese army!
