After some deliberation, Yin Tonglai and Heihu still decided to build a defensive line and wait for reinforcements, no matter how they were, they could not expose the flanks of Xu Biao's troops and Yuan Dongdong to the enemy's front. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yin Tonglai immediately reported the situation to the headquarters of the 40th Group Army, and at the same time sent several urgent telegrams to the Fifth Theater Command in the rear, requesting the headquarters to quickly urge the rear troops to speed up the march.

Half an hour later, all the troops withdrew from the battlefield and immediately plunged into the construction of a tense defensive line.

Even though they had just suffered a crushing defeat, as soon as the division commander's order was issued, the troops quickly entered the state, and there was no panic scene, the commanders kept conveying the operational deployment of the command headquarters, and the soldiers below were in their positions, arranging their troops according to the commanders' intentions.

The artillery units set up artillery positions in new locations, the logistics troops quickly transported all kinds of weapons and ammunition, the sappers brandished their shovels to step up the construction of fortifications, and the combat units entered a state of defense.

The battle damage was also reported quickly, and in this round of attacks by the island army just now, the casualties of the new second division were as high as more than 6,000, of which more than 4,000 were directly killed and nearly 2,000 were wounded. Nearly half of the tank divisions were lost, 38 of the 85 tanks were destroyed, 78 were scarred, and the casualties reached several hundred.

This kind of casualty only made Yin Tonglai and the Black Tiger tremble, especially Yin Tonglai, although their division is 26,000 troops, but at least nearly half of the mechanized troops are logistics troops, and the real combat troops will not exceed 15,000, and those who have just charged are all combat units, and they are also the key targets of the island army's attack, that is to say, most of the more than 6,000 casualties are combat units of the troops, which means that the overall combat level of the troops has dropped by at least 40 percent. This is terrifying for a force.

But they have no choice at the moment, they can only use the troops that have been seriously injured to withstand the possible next crazy attack of the island army.

The island army really did not "disappoint" them, and in less than ten minutes, they simply chased after the heels of the broken rear troops, and the dense infantry locusts crushed the front line of the national army.

The battle immediately began, and for a time there were bursts of gunfire and cannon roaring.

Fighting on the plains, the terrain was flat, the enemy and us were almost unobstructed, the troops invested by the island army were obviously higher than those of the national army, the situation of heavy crushing was obvious, and a huge offensive and defensive battle was staged tragically on the defense line that stretched for several miles.

Less than 10 minutes after the start of the battle, the air forces of both sides of the enemy and our side also joined the battle, and planes began to strangle, bomb, and volley with machine guns over the battlefield.

The sudden appearance of the island army helicopter made the Chinese Air Force have to go all out, and the island army naturally had already taken precautions, so this air battle was inevitable.

But in any case, the arrival of the Air Force is a huge piece of good news for the new 2nd Division and the Tank Division, at least for the time being, they don't have to worry about the reappearance of the little devil's helicopter.

Moreover, the results of the air battle gave them confidence, and with the large number of fighters of the expeditionary force air group into battle, the superiority in numbers and the superiority in aircraft performance gradually caused the island air force to fall into disadvantage, countless planes were shot down, and the rest began to flee in a hurry.

Ten minutes later, the Nationalist Air Force successfully seized air supremacy, and the bombers began to wreak havoc frantically on the ground imp attack troops, smashing dense aerial bombs directly on the positions of the island troops, and the fighters repeatedly dived and strafed, simply abusing the enemy's entire forward position.

After the plane returned, the enemy's offensive also stopped, and the national army was not in good condition, and they were not much better.

Although the attack of fighters and bombers on the ground troops will not be as thorough as that of helicopters, it is impossible for the island army to build complete fortifications and anti-artillery bunkers in a short period of time, and the casualties caused will by no means be small, so the island army also needs to rest and recuperate.

Of course, the national army needs more time to recuperate, and the impact of the hand-to-hand encounter on the defense line is undoubtedly not small, and once again caused a lot of casualties, and in the face of a stronger enemy than them, they must work the fortifications, make up for the lack of troops with a perfect ring of fortifications, and turn an encounter into a protracted offensive and defensive battle, and do everything possible to delay the time until the reinforcements arrive.

In the temporary headquarters of the national army built under a ravine, the radio and telephone rang non-stop, Yin Tonglai and Heihu began to work on the map with a group of staff generals, entering everything possible to improve the defense line and not giving the island army a chance to break through.

"Report Master, there is an important discovery!" A majestic figure strode in from outside, and the sound was like a bell.

The person who came was the captain of the Tomahawk special combat team, and Yin Tonglai used his name to name the special combat team, which shows that he attaches great importance to it.

"Say!" Yin Tong didn't raise his head.

Tomahawk said: "Shizuo, I just grabbed two tongues, and it is not the First Army of Little Devils who are fighting with us at all, but the Tenth Army that has just rushed over from Hangzhou. ”

"What?" Yin Tonglai raised his head suddenly with a scream, "Are you sure?" ”

Tomahawk said: "I dare to guarantee that the two tongues are ghost soldiers caught from the battlefield, and the interrogation is absolutely reliable, and not only the troops in front of us are the Tenth Army, but at this time, the troops of the Tenth Army of the Island Army are also facing against the New First Division and the New Fourth Division in the direction of Mengcheng and Bozhou." ”

Yin Tonglai's brows immediately wrinkled into the word "Chuan", he naturally knew the means of the tomahawk, it was not difficult for the enemy to tell the truth, and most of the information was true, but if it was really the enemy's tenth army in front of him, where was the first army of the island army that had been pursued by them? This is not a small force, twenty to two hundred thousand troops, if they are halfway......

Yin Tonglai couldn't imagine it, cold sweat was already on his forehead, and he suddenly howled loudly: "Map!" ”

As soon as a map of the area was placed on the table, a telecommunications soldier in the radio area suddenly got up and exclaimed: "Report, the transport troops have been attacked by little devils in Chudian, and we ask for emergency support!" ”

There was a sudden dead silence in the house, and everyone's eyes were on the telegraph soldiers, Chudian belonged to the rear of the troops, and the transport troops were attacked here, which meant that they were no longer safe behind them, in other words, they were surrounded by little devils.
