Kinoshita Takujiro froze in place for a moment. After a long while, Takujiro Kinoshita, who came back to his senses, said confidently: "Your Excellency the division commander! I will definitely bring the new 1st Division of the Shina Army to its knees before the warriors of our Great Japanese Empire! Yoshizumi Ryosuke heard Kinoshita Takujiro's words, patted Kinoshita Takujiro on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Let's go down and rest first!" Attack in two hours, no problem, right?! ”

Kinoshita Takushiro nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander!" After saying that, Kinoshita Takuji Jiro turned around and walked out of the command tent. Looking at the back of Kinoshita Takuji Jiro leaving, the chief of staff on the side, Gojin Jiro, said seriously: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Kinoshita Takuji Jiro doesn't seem to have taken your words to heart at all!" ”

Hearing Gojinjiro's words, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who was already very conceited, said with a blank face: "Gojin-kun, I heard that your order has arrived, right?!" Gojin Jiro replied seriously: "Yes! I'm going to return to Tokyo when Matsushita arrives! ”

Ryosuke Yoshizumi nodded and said, "Then congratulations!" But until you leave, I still hope that you will continue to do your part! After speaking, Yoshizumi Ryosuke shook his sleeves and walked out of the command tent. Looking at Ryosuke Yoshizumi's expression when he left, Gojin Jiro sighed helplessly, looked up at the sky and said to himself, "I hope Aunt Amaterasu will bless your people!" ”

Just when Kinoshita Takyojiro arrived at the outskirts of Chaohu, the reconnaissance battalion of the New First Division, which was hidden around Chaohu, discovered the situation. After receiving the report, Zhang Cheng looked at the map with a smile and said, "Our first step has been successful!" The next step is to invite you into the urn! ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Gao Zhisong looked at the Chaohu defense map and said: "Master sit, our entire defense can be described as leaky, but you have noticed that no, we have not used the depression outside the city on our right side!" If we lay mines there on a large scale, what do you think will be the effect there?! ”

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Old Gao! Do you think I'll forget to prepare a gift for the little devil there? Saying that, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhao Ziqing beside him and asked, "Has the work of the engineer regiment been completed?" Zhao Ziqing opened the record, looked at it and replied: "The report master's seat, which was just completed half an hour ago, planted two thousand kilograms of explosives and nearly fifteen barrels of gasoline there!" ”

"Good!" Saying that, Zhang Cheng marked the location of the explosives and gasoline on the map and said: "I haven't tasted roast pig for a long time!" I'll call this an oven! Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Gao Zhisong smiled and said, "It turns out that you have already had a plan here!" I've worried about it in vain, you have to compensate me well! ”

Looking at Zhao Ziqing's figure gradually moving away, Gao Zhisong said seriously: "Sit, Ziqing is a good girl, you have to treat her well!" Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "Lao Gao, I know it in my heart!" But I don't have the heart to fall in love right now! Saying that, Zhang Cheng looked at his watch and said, "Old Gao, you hurry up and squint for a while!" I'll go upstairs and have a look! After speaking, he picked up the binoculars and walked out of the command post in the tunnel under the protection of the guards.

Just walked up to the city tower, Luo Shujia looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile and said, "Master Zhang, you don't have to do everything yourself, right?!" I'll help you watch the castle tower, and you can rest assured! Zhang Cheng took the binoculars and looked around and said, "Commander Luo, it's not that I do everything myself, this is the responsibility of a senior officer!" After all, what we have in our hands is not the lives of one or two people, but the lives of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands! ”

As soon as Zhang Cheng's words fell, the soldiers in charge of guarding the city gates on the north and south sides hurriedly found Zhang Cheng by phone. Zhang Cheng frowned after listening to the reports from the city gates on both sides. Luo Shujia, who was on the side, saw Zhang Cheng's anxious appearance and asked seriously, "Senior Master Zhang, is something wrong?!" ”

Zhang Cheng slowly stretched out his frowning brows and said: "Nothing, since the little devils are ready to adopt the tactics of encircling three and missing one, then I will cooperate with them well!" After speaking, Zhang Cheng walked to the north gate and watched the Japanese army set up a temporary command tent at the location of the depression.

About half an hour later, the tent of the temporary command of the Japanese army was completed. Looking at the well-guarded Japanese temporary headquarters, Zhang Cheng laughed unconsciously, and Luo Shujia, who was following Zhang Cheng, heard Zhang Cheng's laughter, and immediately became puzzled, and thought in his heart: "This young and promising division commander Zhang won't be scared crazy by the little devil, right?!" ”

Just as Luo Shujia was muttering secretly in his heart, Zhang Cheng opened his mouth and asked, "Master Luo, how long has it been since you saw fireworks?!" Luo Shujia replied with a puzzled face: "I haven't seen it since the Anti-Japanese War!" ”

Hearing Luo Shujia's answer, Zhang Cheng turned around and said with a smile: "Then brother, I will invite you to watch a free firework now!" After speaking, Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said to the herald: "Order the sappers to detonate!" ”

"Yes!" As he spoke, the herald immediately picked up the phone on the side and conveyed Zhang Cheng's order. Then an earth-shattering explosion was heard. Then I saw that the place where the Japanese army had just set up the command tent was in a sea of fire.

Seeing this scene, Luo Shujia was stunned for a moment. After a while, Luo Shujia, who woke up from the shock, looked at Zhang Cheng and asked, "Master Zhang, what's going on?!" Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I have turned Chaohu Lake into a fortress!" And I can say without exaggeration that this is the grave of the Japanese army! ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Luo Shujia just wanted to say something. Wang Qingming, chief of staff of the 199th Division who ran up to the city tower when he heard the explosion, asked breathlessly: "There was an explosion there?!" Luo Shujia smiled bitterly: "The little devil has been fooled!" Bombed into the sky! As he spoke, he pointed to a place not far away where the fire was still bubbling.

Wang Qingming looked at it seriously with a telescope in the direction Luo Shujia pointed and said, "Impossible?!" It's impossible to extinguish gasoline! Hearing Wang Qingming's words, Luo Shujia looked at Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Chief of Staff Zhao has good eyesight!" I had the sappers add some ingredients to the gasoline, and that's how it worked! ”

When Wang Qingming heard Zhang Cheng's explanation, he thought about it and asked to the bottom of it: "Can Master Zhang introduce it clearly?!" When Zhang Cheng heard Wang Qingming's words, he smiled and said, "There is no secret to this!" I added white sugar to the gasoline, which has the effect of increasing adsorption, and the effect of phosphorus is to burn in an anaerobic state! ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's answer, Wang Qingming and Luo Shujia looked at each other and thought in their hearts: "It's really lucky, if Lao Jiang had such a talent ten years earlier, China would have been unified long ago!" It seems that you can't follow the baby as an enemy in the future! ”

Just when Wang Qingming and Luo Shujia were muttering in their hearts, Yoshizumi Ryosuke received a report that the headquarters of the Third Brigade was shelled by the Chinese Army. After hearing the report, Yoshizumi Ryosuke walked to the scene of the explosion with his guards with a puzzled expression, looked at it and asked with a surprised face: "Wu Jinjun, do you know the situation of the firepower of the Chaohu Shina army?!" ”

After thinking about it, I opened the folder uncertainly, looked at the record and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, combined with the intelligence from all aspects, the Chinese army in front of us is not equipped with heavy weapons, but only a small number of mortars to assist in the defense!" Captain Yoshino Hiroaki, who was on the side, immediately shouted: "You are lying! At least the Chinese army is equipped with anti-war artillery! Otherwise, my tank would not have suffered heavy losses! If you don't believe me, you can see where the chariot destroyed by the Chinese army is still parked! ”

Yoshizumi Ryosuke heard Yoshino's words, frowned and thought for a while and said, "Our opponent is too mysterious! So far, we only know the number and commander of the unit, and we don't know anything else, which is very passive for us! Saying that, Yoshizumi Ryosuke sighed deeply and said: "Wu Jinjun, immediately report the situation here to the front army headquarters, and ask them to instruct Tegaoke to immediately find out the firepower of the Shina army defending Chaohu!" ”

"Hey!" Saying that, Ijin Jiro left in a hurry. Minutes and seconds passed. Slowly, the sky began to light up. It didn't take long for the roar of airplanes to be heard in the sky. After hearing the sound of the plane, Zhang Cheng gave a covert order without hesitation.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who was commanding the troops to attack not far away, saw Chaohu under the ravages of aerial bombs and shouted happily: "It seems that Zhang Cheng is nothing more than that, it seems that we are foolproof in taking Chaohu Lake today!" Kunizaki Noboru Detachment, the leader of the Kunisaki detachment on the side, shook his head and said: "Your Excellency the division commander, it is our infantry who will finally solve the battle!" Artillery and the Air Force are not able to get on bayonets! ”

Hearing Noboru Kunisaki's words, Ryosuke Yoshizumi immediately restrained himself and said, "Kunisaki, what you said is very correct! It's up to you! Kunizaki nodded respectfully and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander!" I will definitely command our warriors of the Great Japanese Empire to break through the defense line of the Shina Army and occupy Chaohu! After speaking, Kunizaki Noboru pulled out his command knife and waved it forward, shouting, "Charge!" ”

Zhang Cheng, who had been braving the bombing of Japanese planes on the city tower and watching the activities of the Japanese army in the distance, saw the Japanese soldiers rushing over with a fierce 38-type rifle to cover each other, and immediately picked up the phone next to him and calmly ordered: "Marin, it's time for you to play!" Be sure to let the little devils rush to the pain! ”

When Ma Lin heard Zhang Cheng's words, he shouted excitedly: "Master! Put your heart in your belly! We're going to beat the little devils! After saying that, Marin hung up the phone, took all the artillery out of the tunnel, temporarily set up an artillery position not far from the city gate, and began shelling the Japanese troops who rushed up!

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of mortar shells covered the entire Japanese attack formation. Seeing this scene, Ryosuke Yoshizumi immediately ordered: "Field artillery wing, fire suppression!" Hearing Yoshizumi Ryosuke's words, Gojin Jiro reminded softly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, we only have eighteen Type 92 infantry guns that have just been gathered from the troops below!" The rest of the field guns and the Type 97 120mm heavy cannon were all depleted last night! ”

Hearing Gojin Jiro's reminder, Yoshizumi Ryosuke looked at Gojin Jiro angrily and said, "Order the artillery to take fire to suppress!" Let the troops attack! ”

"Hey!" Gojinjiro bowed deeply to Yoshizumi Ryosuke and ran away quickly. Half an hour later, Zhang Cheng looked at his watch and said to the herald: "Let Zhang Quming also move!" Tell him to hold up at least an hour at the front line! An hour later, alternately cover and retreat into the city! ”

"Yes!" The herald received Zhang Cheng's order and kept conveying the order. Zhang Quming, who had been waiting impatiently, heard the words of the herald and immediately took the troops that had been prepared long ago to the position.
