All the way unimpeded, the 1st Chinese Division and the 71st Infantry Division drove two British infantry regiments straight to Aylsford, but when they actually arrived at Aylsford, the British troops of the previous two regiments seemed to have evaporated in an instant, and they couldn't find a trace.

"A house-by-house search, I don't believe they can still fly!"

Wiesenberg sat in his car and gave the order, the small town of Ayersford was not very big, he had a whole infantry division, it was easy to dig out two disabled infantry regiments from it, his troops were not armored like the 1st Tank Brigade, and he was not worried about the enemy hiding at all.

However, this incident made Kirsch a little wary, what happened in Maidstone only one night has passed, it can be said that it is still vivid, he is worried that the purpose of the enemy's night attack this time is still aimed at the 1st Chinese Division, so he immediately let the troops stop outside Ayersford, on the grounds that the tanks are not suitable for urban combat at night, and did not enter the city with the 71st Infantry Division.

"Send a report to General Wiesenberg and the 1st Huaxia Division, asking about the progress of the troops, 1) the current location of the troops, 2) the approximate disposition of the enemy's forces, 3) whether there are any enemy reinforcements, and 4) how sure the troops are of taking Ayersford."

Li Ling stood in the command headquarters, anxiously waiting for news from the front line, he who had almost never had a nightmare would be woken up by a nightmare, but after waking up, he was shocked to hear that the troops had attacked in the middle of the night, which was definitely not good news.

Von Bock was also a little uneasy in his heart, and the unusual behavior of the British also made him feel that something was wrong, but because the situation at the front was unknown until now, he could not make any judgment.

Soon, the command received a call back from the front, in which Wiesenberg was confident, saying that they had stormed Aylesford, were engaged in street fighting with the enemy, and had not found any enemy reinforcements. But in Kirsch's callback, it was a little different, Kirsch made it very clear that most of the 1st Tank Brigade was waiting on the periphery of Aylsford, and a small part remained in Maidstone with the direct rocket artillery battalion, and the 71st Infantry Division was searching for the hidden British ** team in Ailsford, and no enemy reinforcements were found for the time being, but the specific situation in Aylsford was not clear, and Kirsch thought that Aylsford was not as simple as it seemed, so he asked for reinforcements here immediately.

"Lee, what do you think?"

Von Bock looked at the two seemingly identical but far apart callbacks, and the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier.

"Marshal, I choose to believe Kirsch. Of course, this is not only because the Huaxia 1st Division is my own unit, but also because if the 71st Infantry Division is really engaged in street fighting inside the city, then the Huaxia 1st Division outside the city must not be unable to hear the movement. Well, the result must be that the 71st Infantry Division is searching the city, and they have not found anything for it so far! ”

"Well, that makes sense, but now we should do something, and I always feel like it's not that simple, and it looks as if the British soldiers are deliberately directing their troops towards Aylsford. By the way, is it possible that they are planning to have ideas about that rocket artillery battalion directly under yours? Didn't they plan to do anything to that battalion when they were in Maidstone? ”

"Maybe the purpose of their painstaking efforts is not just because of a rocket artillery battalion."

At first, Li Ling also thought that the purpose of the British was to fight the rocket artillery battalion, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were not so simple, especially after knowing that the rocket artillery battalion did not move, but the enemy still returned to Aylesford and hid, he was even more convinced of his idea, maybe the purpose of these people was to eat the entire Huaxia First Division!

"Could it be that they are still planning to eat both divisions?"

"No, their purpose should only be the Huaxia First Division, and the appearance of the 71st Infantry Division there should be something they didn't expect, which can explain why they haven't made any movement until now and have been hiding. However, I guess it won't be long before they can't hold back, because once it's dawn, they won't be able to gain an advantage. ”

"What then? Now I know that it is a trap, but the problem is that the 71st Infantry Division is already inside, so we can't withdraw it, if they suddenly kill it in the process of withdrawing, it will inevitably cause a very serious blow to the 71st Infantry Division. ”

Von Bock was also feeling a little troublesome now, but he didn't blame the commanders of the two divisions, after all, when the enemy attacked, they reacted immediately and quickly launched a wave of counterattacks, and there was no problem in saying that. Now, however, it is clear that what to do next is a dilemma.

"Aylsford is not very big, as long as the 71st Infantry Division is steady and steady inside, there should not be any big problems. Then my idea was to let the 1st Huaxia Division directly bypass the fighting Ayersford and attack its rear, and then ask the air force to give absolute air support to the 1st Huaxia Division, which would be equivalent to directly cutting off the enemy's retreat, and at the same time, it would also be able to give full play to the advantages of the 1st Huaxia Division's tank troops in group operations. ”

"Li, this method is too risky, you must know that once the 71st Infantry Division can't withstand the pressure of the enemy, then it will make the Huaxia 1st Division fall into a heavy encirclement, and we don't know how many enemies are hiding in Aylesford now, I can't do such a risky method, we have a firm initiative in the overall situation, and it is only a matter of time before the British are eliminated, I can't take risks at this time."

Li Ling's plan was not unfeasible, but in the case of absolute superiority on the whole, the implementation of such a risky tactic was obviously not in line with von Bock's psychology, and he preferred that the troops would fight steadily and steadily, without any risky behavior.

"We have an old saying in China called wealth and danger in danger, marshal, no matter what you do now, the 71st Infantry Division is not easy to get out of Ayersford, since this is the case, then we might as well take a risk and let the Huaxia 1st Division continue to assault forward, so that we can strive for a greater victory, and at the same time be able to cut off the connection between Aylsford's enemy and the rear, which also invisibly relieves the pressure on the 71st Infantry Division, this kind of thing is not a risk, and, even if you think it is an adventure, it is worth it!"

Li Ling insisted on his opinion, as the chief of staff, it was his duty to provide the commander with the most reasonable solution at this time, and he fully believed in his troops, and he believed that the Huaxia First Division would definitely be able to fight a beautiful battle!
