At the Wuhan Xingying High Headquarters, I heard a shout outside the door: "The commission is here!" Hearing the shout, all the officers in the war room stood up straight. It didn't take long for President Jiang to walk into the war room, and after looking at Bai Chongxi, he asked, "Is there any new news about the new 1st Division now?" He Yingqin immediately handed the telegram he had just received to President Jiang and said, "Commission!" The latest information, the Japanese army has dispatched at least three elite divisions to surround Chaohu!

When President Jiang heard He Yingqin's words, the whole person was stunned all of a sudden. After a while, President Jiang, who came back to his senses, took the telegram, looked at it, and said, "Is there any other unit near Chaohu Lake that can support the new 1st Division?" ”

Chen Cheng said seriously: "Commission!" Now around Chaohu Lake, only the 26th Group Army is stationed in Hefei! Humble thought that the 26th Group Army, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Japanese army, combat effectiveness? President Jiang thought for a while and said, "Then you have to give it a try!" ”

Half an hour later, Xu Yuanquan received a telegram from the Supreme Command. Looking at the telegram, Xu Yuanquan frowned and asked, "Xu Jiwu, who do you think is more appropriate to send to carry out this task?" Xu Jiwu thought for a while and said: "Now the troops in Hefei are not enough to defend them, how can there be troops to support Chaohu!" This is Luo Shujia walked into the headquarters, picked up the telegram and said: "It still depends on Zhang Cheng's own opinion, if we need assistance, we are sending troops." ”

When Zhang Cheng was at the headquarters, Zhao Ziqing walked up to Zhang Cheng with a telegram from the 26th Army and said, "Division! A telegram from the 26th Army! Hearing Zhao Ziqing's words, Zhang Cheng took the telegram and looked at it and said, "Call back!" Let the 26th Army preserve its strength! I've made a detailed plan! After speaking, Zhang Cheng quickly crawled out of the tunnel.

A week later, Chaohu, the commander of the Kunizaki Noboru detachment of the Fifth Division, hurriedly ran in front of Ushijima Sadao, lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander!" We have fallen for the tricks of the Chinese army! Ushijima Sadao heard Noboru Kunisaki's words, frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Kunisaki Deng said lightly: "We found it after entering the city, and after entering the tunnel, it was very smooth at the beginning under the guidance of the sappers!" But I didn't expect that the Chinese army planted a large amount of explosives in the tunnel! ”

Without waiting for Noboru Kunisaki to finish speaking, Ushijima Sadao suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked, "What you said is the truth?" Noboru Kunisaki immediately swore an oath: "I swear to His Majesty the Emperor!" Without waiting for Noboru Kunisaki to finish speaking, Sadao Ushijima glanced at Nakagawa Hiroshi on the side and asked: "Nakagawa-kun, you see that the tunnels of the Shina Army have been confirmed, are we using the engineer wings of our three divisions to start earthwork and find ways to find more tunnel entrances?" ”

Hiroshi Nakagawa thought for a while and replied, "Forget it!" We just need to make sure that the 18th Division of Xianiu Island takes Chaohu! Saying that, Hiroshi Nakagawa looked at Sadao Ushijima. Ushijima Sadao saw Nakagawa Hiroshi's gaze, and muttered in his heart, "What the hell is this old fox up to again?" Looks like I'm going to have to watch out! Thinking of this, Sadao Ushijima looked at Hiroshi Nakagawa and said, "Hirokun Nakagawa, your Ninth Division is the elite of our Great Japanese Empire!" I think it's still according to the original plan of the Front Army Headquarters, and your department will attack Chaohu Lake! ”

When Nakagawa heard Ushijima's words, he interrupted with a smile: "Ushijima-kun, your troops are strong and strong!" After this period of consumption, our department can no longer complete the task of attacking Chaohu! Hearing Nakagawa Hiro's words, Ushijima Sadao's face suddenly changed and he said seriously: "Nakagawa-kun! Are you a samurai of the Great Japanese Empire? Why are you so cowardly? Saying that, Sadao Ushijima gave Nakajima a look.

When Nakajima saw the secret message from Sadao Ushijima, he thought to himself, "If you two want to be pinched to death, let you go dog-eat-dog!" I'm watching the excitement on the side, just to avoid it! Thinking of this, Nakajima Imago stopped paying attention to Sadao Ushijima and Hiroshi Nakagawa, closed his eyes, sat down on the empty ammunition box, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

After a while, Nakagawa Hiroshi couldn't fight for Ushijima Sadao and ordered helplessly: "After the shelling is over, the troops will immediately launch a full-scale attack on Chaohu!" Saying that, Nakagawa Guang's order was issued, the Japanese Ninth Division, under the leadership of the remnants, quickly assembled and launched an attack on Chaohu Lake in an orderly manner.

Zhang Cheng, who was hidden in a half-collapsed house, looked at the Japanese soldiers who were violently slaughtering into Chaohu, and decisively pulled the trigger. After solving a Japanese second lieutenant, Zhang Cheng immediately took the guards to change positions. Just when Zhang Cheng was changing positions, the Japanese soldiers holding grenadiers found Zhang Cheng, so they continuously shot grenades through the grenadiers at Zhang Cheng's position.

When the fourth grenade flew towards Zhang Cheng's position, the guards hidden at the 45th degree position pulled the trigger on the Japanese soldier holding the grenadier. After a crisp shot, the Japanese soldier with a grenadier was seen falling. Zhang Cheng, who was hidden behind the stone pillar, looked at the reflection of the glass not far away, saw the Japanese grenadier who fell to the ground, and immediately rolled over and left behind the stone pillar.

After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, Zhang Cheng sat on the ground panting with his back against a wall, and loaded the magazines of the Stern submachine guns next to him one by one. As soon as he put it aside, Zhang Sandong walked in front of Zhang Cheng and said, "Master! By now, there are only about 420 of the more than 1,000 brothers left! Hearing Zhang Sandong's words, Zhang Cheng was stunned, nodded silently and said, "You go and find a way to gather the bodies of the fallen brothers." Cremated us and took away after dark! ”

"Yes!" Saying that, Zhang Sandong left quickly. At the same time, Ushijima Sadao, Nakagawa Hiro and Nakajima Isago who were outside the city looked at the silent Chaohu Lake, and couldn't help but feel a little cooler in their hearts. After a while, Sadao Ushijima was the first to speak: "It's not a way for us to wait!" It will be dark in three hours at most! This is very bad for us! ”

Hearing Ushijima Sadao's words, Ushijima Sadao nodded and agreed: "If it gets dark, it will be unfavorable for us, I think we should continue to attack!" So that the Chinese army has no respite! Hiroshi Nakagawa heard the words of Sadao Ushijima and Asago Nakajima, and agreed: "I completely agree with the opinions of the two!" In this case, we have all dispatched four brigades to carry out a dragnet search of Chaohu Lake from four directions in the form of an iron arm encirclement, what do you think? ”
