But even so, it still brought them nearly 20% casualties, mainly air defense and transport troops, other troops can enter the bunker, but they must do their best to stop the enemy's low-altitude bombing, and the enemy's butterfly bombs are indeed very terrifying, one is enough to make an anti-aircraft position disappear out of thin air, and even the machine gun can be blown up.

A telecommunications staff officer got up from the radio area, walked straight to Tong Fulin and Han Shaogeng and said, "Two chiefs of staff, the enemy is still about a mile away from the frontal defense line, and the regiment commanders request to attack!" ”

The two exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and Tong Fulin said fiercely: "Order, the artillery regiment has a base, open fire, and the first tank division and the new second infantry division will attack!" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer turned around and walked to the radio area and began to repeat the battle order to the telegraph soldiers, who simultaneously rang the radio and sent the order to the troops in the front.

Although walkie-talkies are more practical, such large-scale operations must be based on the telegrams sent by the command, which must be handed over to the archives after the battle as a post-war summary of the campaign, so as to prevent the commander from taking the risk of claiming the battle after the victory, or shirking the responsibility after the defeat.

Although it was a defense, and the enemy pressed the territory with heavy troops, it was impossible for the enemy to advance to the defensive line and then move on in tank combat, first striking at the enemy's offensive arrogance with heavy artillery, and then crushing it with tanks and infantry, and there was no problem with the tactics of the two.

At the same time, they also have enough confidence in the Tiger type, although the enemy's 52nd Army has five divisions/divisions of tank division and infantry division, but they are not frightened, and their expressions are more relaxed after the order is given.

Han Shao even said: "Old boy, they took away a tank regiment from the division, our attack strength is not enough, less than a hundred tanks, but the attack line is several miles long, and the density is almost there, so I think the guard armored battalion will also be transferred, right?" ”

The Guards Armored Battalion of the Tank Division has a reinforced tank company, 12 Tiger tanks, a machine infantry company, and an air defense company, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Tong Fulin hesitated for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "No, we can't move this unit until we have to, the two division commanders are now behind the enemy, in case something happens, we won't even have room to maneuver." ”

At this time, Yin Tonglai's telegram arrived, informing the two that the plan had been changed, and that the Black Tiger would launch an attack from the flank, cutting off the enemy's waist, and that the reserve team should be ready to respond and rescue at any time, and Yin Tonglai would also return to the headquarters ten minutes after the attack.

After reading the telegram, Han Shao gave a thumbs up to Tong Fulin, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, everything seemed to have a tacit understanding, when the Black Tiger launched the attack, the artillery attack had almost stopped, and it was when the troops attacked on all fronts, the enemy's firepower and attention would be concentrated on the front, and the Black Tiger killed from the flanks coldly, and the passivity and casualties caused to the enemy were immeasurable.

Just when they thought that the development of the war had begun to tilt in their favor, the telephone of the headquarters rang loudly, Tong Fulin picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and suddenly his expression changed greatly, "What, what did you say?" ”

Tong Fulin listened with a dark face for a few seconds, and then shouted: "Wang Hongshan, I don't care how much you cost you in casualties, even if you are left alone, the Western Front must not be lost, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you." ”

Tong Fulin hung up the phone with a "snap", and then shouted outside the door: "Guard battalion, urgently assemble!" ”

"Old boy, what's going on?" Han Shao said more urgently.

"We underestimated the little devil's airborne troops, the new 14th Regiment couldn't stand it, the casualties were huge, even the regiment commander had been killed, and now the deputy regiment commander Wang Hongshan is commanding, the young man is too young, I'm worried that he is inexperienced, so Lao Tong, this place will be handed over to you for the time being, I have to go over and command in person."

"But ......"

"Don't worry, the eagles will be back soon!"

Tong Fulin said as he took off the military hat on his head, picked up a steel helmet from the table and put it on, raised his legs and left.

"Eh......"

When Han Shao came back to his senses, he had already walked out of the bomb shelter, Han Shao shook his head with a wry smile, suddenly remembered and chased to the door, and roared: "Come back alive!" But Tong Fulin had already reached the side of the armored car surrounded by soldiers, and it was difficult to guarantee whether he could hear the roar of the machine and the noisy flow of people.

I don't know why, Han Shao suddenly felt a feeling of heartache and palpitations.

After several large-scale bombardments in a row, the southeast county town is even more dilapidated, and there is hardly a complete building in sight, only broken walls and ruins as far as the eye can see, and the roads are also full of construction debris, and there are countless craters, wheeled armored vehicles stumble on such roads, and the speed is not as fast as the infantry.

Tong Fulin simply got out of the car and ran forward with the soldiers.

At this time, a large-scale air battle was breaking out over the Yellow River, and the strangulation of the enemy and us was very cruel, and the enemy also exhausted all his efforts in order to win the battle.

And the most aggressive and unexpected is the airborne troops on the west side, which almost hit the soft underbelly of the national army.

The west is the logistics channel of the entire Nanshan Army, and the only way from Dezhou to Southeast County has been completely cut off by the enemy's airborne troops, and the west of the city is also the place where Yin Tonglai and their material hoarding are stored, once they are knocked out by the enemy, I am afraid that in less than two hours, the two divisions will face the dilemma of bayonets against the enemy.

In such a big battle, the consumption of ammunition and materials is very amazing, even if there is no loss of ammunition, they will hold out for four or five hours at most, so the key is to open this communication artery and annihilate this group of enemies.

Originally, I thought that the strength of one regiment would be enough to deal with them, but less than half an hour after the battle began, the new 14th Regiment actually suffered heavy casualties and retreated, and even the vicious incident of the death of the regiment commander occurred.

The headquarters of the new 14th Regiment was built under the ruins of a two-story building, the upper part of the building has almost completely collapsed, but the lower part is still strong, and there is not much space inside.

Tong Fulin walked into the headquarters with a black face, and when he entered the door, he saw a door panel bed in the room, and a person lying on the "bed", a white cloth covered his whole body, and only a pair of shiny high-top leather shoes were exposed.

"Chief of Staff ......"

A young lieutenant colonel stepped forward and saluted, looking at Tong Fulin with a face full of shame, and stopped talking.

Tong Fulin ignored him, walked straight to the "bed", stretched out his hand to uncover half of the white cloth, and a pale face with closed eyes and no trace of blood appeared in front of him.

His face was clean, obviously wiped off, and his body had changed into a brand new military uniform, and the rank of colonel on his collar was shining, this person was Yang Qi, the colonel of the new 14th Regiment who had just been killed.
