Looking at the tenacious appearance of the Chinese army, Yoshizumi Ryosuke said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that I would meet an opponent here!" The chief of staff on the side, Gojin Jiro, said: "Division commander! Do you want the Yamada detachment to press all of them?! Ryosuke Yoshizumi smiled and said, "No need! Saying that, Yoshizumi Ryosuke looked at his watch and said, "In another half an hour, let the troops stop attacking, and then start the attack again in the afternoon to take Chaohu Lake in one go!" ”

"Hey!" All the officers nodded heavily and said in unison.

Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Cheng, who was standing on the city tower, looked at the Japanese troops who were retreating in an orderly manner under alternate cover, and suddenly showed a cold smile on his face. Luo Shujia and Wang Qingming, who were on the side, were stunned when they saw the smile on Zhang Cheng's face.

At this time, I heard Zhang Cheng say: "It seems that Yoshizumi Ryosuke is very cooperative with us!" Saying Zhang Cheng's serious order: "Let the front-line blocking troops hurry up and rest!" Tell Chen Qingshan and Hu Rongda to get them ready to deal with the little devil tank! ”

"Yes!" With that, the herald left quickly. It didn't take long for the herald to run in front of Zhang Cheng out of breath and said, "Master! Captain Zhang Sandong is injured! Hearing the herald's words, Zhang Cheng frowned and asked, "Is the injury serious?!" The herald replied earnestly: "The shrapnel has been removed, and Dr. Wu said that he can return to the battlefield tomorrow at the earliest!" ”

"I see!" Saying that, Zhang Cheng said to Gao Zhisong: "Chief of Staff Gao asked Dong Yeyang to take over Zhang Sandong's command!" ”

"Yes! I'll arrange it right away! After speaking, Gao Zhisong left in a hurry. After receiving Zhang Cheng's order, Dong Yeyangyuan, who was resting in the tunnel, immediately ran to the position with his guard company. Zhang Quming, who was having lunch on the battlefield, saw Dong Yeyangyuan and said with a smile: "I knew that your kid was back!" ”

Hearing Zhang Quming's words, Dong Yeyang asked seriously: "How is the situation now?!" Zhang Quming took a bite of the steamed bun and said: "Our firepower is fierce enough, otherwise the position would have been broken through by the little devil!" Saying that, Zhang Quming looked at Dong Yeyangyuan and asked, "How is Zhang Sandong's situation?!" ”

Dong Yeyangyuan replied seriously: "There is no big problem!" Tomorrow you can go into battle! Saying that, Dong Yeyangyuan said to the commander of the guard company next to him: "Dig the pit immediately!" Tanks waiting for the little devils! ”

"Yes!" Saying that, Wang Xiaohu and the guard company got busy quickly. After Wang Xiaohu left, Zhang Quming looked at Dong Yeyangyuan and said: "You have experienced the defense of Nanjing, and this is equivalent to pediatrics!" I was worried that I wouldn't be able to defend Chaohu Lake! Now I'm worried that the little devil has run away! ”

Hearing Zhang Quming's words, Dong Yeyangyuan laughed. After laughing for a while, Dong Yeyangyuan picked up the binoculars and observed the movements of the Japanese army.

By the time the hands of the clock crossed twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese artillery fire again covered the entire position. Dong Yeyang, who reacted quickly, had already returned to the tunnel with the soldiers when the first shell of the Japanese army fell. Repeated explosions were heard from surface positions. Zhang Quming, who was hidden underground, couldn't help but say: "Be good! If only we had these heavy artillery! ”

Hearing Zhang Quming's words, Dong Yeyangyuan smiled and said, "Deputy Brigade Commander, don't worry!" We'll have a lot of heavy artillery in the future! And it will be better than the devil's heavy artillery! "An hour later, the sound of the shells exploding was a little quieter. At this time, Dong Yeyangyuan, who was in the tunnel, immediately pulled the bolt of the AK-submachine gun in his hand and said, "Brothers, go back to the position and kill the devil!" After speaking, Dong Ye Yangyuan took the lead in climbing out of the tunnel.

Not long after the soldiers hidden in the tunnel returned to their positions, twenty-four Japanese Type 94 light tanks rushed into the blocking position in unison!

Looking at the mighty Japanese tanks marching in unison, Dong Yeyangyuan frowned and said to the herald beside him: "Let the artillery brothers, according to the instructions of the division, use mortars to shoot the tanks against the devils." ”

"Yes!" The herald hurriedly conveyed the order. The artillerymen who received the order hurriedly ran out of the tunnel with mortars on their shoulders, and in groups of three, they launched an attack on the Japanese tanks with mortars. When destroying the six Type 94 light tanks of the Japanese army, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, who was commanding the troops to attack in the back, immediately felt that something was wrong, and said to himself with a curious face: "How is it possible?!" Could it be that there is a mistake in the intelligence?! “

When the chief of staff on the side, Gojin Jiro Osa, heard Yoshizumi Ryosuke's words, he immediately walked to Yoshizumi Ryosuke's side and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I don't think the information of Tegaoke will be wrong!" There must be some shady method used by the Zhina! ”

Before the words of Osaku Osa, the commander of the chariot wing, Hiroaki Yoshino, noticed that the destroyed chariots were destroyed and immediately issued an order to stop the attack and retreat through the signal flag. More than ten minutes later, Yoshizumi Ryosuke looked at the returning commander of the chariot wing and asked, "Yoshino-kun, why don't you continue to attack?!" ”

Yoshino Hiroaki replied angrily: "The Shina people have prepared a lot of anti-aircraft artillery in the position! I now have only nine tanks left in my tank wing, and if this continues, all my tanks will be shattered here! Is it up to you to pay for this?! ”

When Yoshizumi Ryosuke heard Yoshino's words, he immediately frowned and said to the chief of staff next to him, Gojinjiro: "Send a power and ask the Air Force for tactical guidance!" ”

"Hey!" Saying that, Jiro Wu Jin hurriedly ran to the edge of the radio station and sent out the order. Half an hour later, more than 20 Japanese fighters and bombers flew over Chaohu Lake. Looking at the Japanese plane that suddenly appeared, Zhang Cheng calmly ordered: "The troops immediately retreat to the tunnel!" The troops in the city are ready for battle! ”

Luo Shujia, who was on the side, heard Zhang Cheng's words and asked seriously: "Division Commander Zhang, do you want my 199th Division to go out of the city again and hold the Japanese for a while, so as to buy some time for your department?!" Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "No need! It's almost time! As long as we grasp it! ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Luo Shujia didn't want to say anything more, and silently cooperated with Zhang Cheng and left. After Luo Shujia left, Gao Zhisong, who was on the side, frowned and said, "Jiting, are you going too far with Luo Shujia like this?!" Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not going too far, I'm going to leave two powerful fists in my hands to fight back!" Do you see what I mean?! ”

Gao Zhisong nodded and said, "I know!" You can tell what you think in your tunnels! Saying that, Gao Zhisong looked at the situation outside the city with a telescope and said: "I'll go talk to Master Luo, maybe he will understand your strategic purpose!" After speaking, Gao Zhisong walked down the city tower quickly.

Just when Luo Shujia was shouting at his temporary division headquarters, Gao Zhisong walked into the division headquarters of the 199th Division. Looking at Luo Shujia with an angry face, Gao Zhisong smiled and said, "Is Senior Commander Luo dissatisfied with the arrangement of our division's seat?" ”

Luo Shujia shook his head and replied, "Don't dare!" After all, your new division is the master, are we guests, and your division commander Zhang is a celebrity in front of the commission! And we are grandmothers who don't love uncles and uncles, and we are fundamentally two-way people! Gao Zhisong heard Luo Shujia's words, shook his head and said, "Senior Commander Luo, you have seen the underground defense map of our division, haven't you seen the strategic intentions of our division?!" ”

When Luo Shujia heard Gao Zhisong's words, he was stunned for a moment. Chief of Staff Wang Qingming, who was on the side, thought for a while and asked softly: "Chief of Staff Gao, are you Division Commander Zhang ready to use our two divisions to annihilate the tens of thousands of Japanese troops here?!" Gao Zhisong looked at Wang Qingming with a smile and said, "Chief of Staff Wang guessed correctly!" We, Division Commander Zhang, are ready to annihilate the 30,000 or 40,000 Japanese troops with the strength of your and my two divisions! Isn't this okay?! ”

When Luo Shujia and Wang Qingming heard Gao Zhisong's words, both of them fell silent all of a sudden. At this time, the shells of the 48 Type 97 120mm heavy cannons of the Japanese army exploded in Chaohu City.

Hearing the explosion of the cannonball, Luo Shujia, who came back to his senses, said earnestly: "Go!" Let's go down the tunnel! Even if it is going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, I, Luo Shujia, will lead the 199th Division to go with you Commander Zhang! After speaking, Luo Shujia led the division headquarters and the division headquarters and the 199th Division headquarters to follow Gao Zhisong down the tunnel.

Entering the tunnel, Luo Shujia suddenly became curious. Looking at the tunnels that extend in all directions, Luo Shujia said confidently: "Chief of Staff Gao, I really didn't expect that the underground would be so big!" Hearing Luo Shujia's words, Gao Zhisong said seriously: "The underground extends in all directions, some leading to the outside of the city, and some leading to various buildings in the city!" Normally, we all live on the second basement floor! ”

When Luo Shujia heard Gao Zhisong's words, he was immediately surprised. Unconsciously followed Gao Zhisong to the division headquarters of the new first division on the second floor of the basement. Looking at the busy appearance on the second basement floor, Luo Shujia immediately walked to Zhang Cheng's side and said, "Master Zhang, I'm sorry!" I, Luo Shujia, misunderstood you! ”

Zhang Cheng smiled generously and said, "Okay! If you talk about it, there's nothing left! Division Commander Zhang, your task with the troops underground is to rest, I think it won't be long before we will counterattack! As soon as Zhang Cheng's words fell, the scout in charge of observation hurriedly ran to Zhang Cheng's side and said, "Master! The shelling of the devils has stopped! ”

Hearing the scout's report, Zhang Cheng picked up the phone on the table and connected to Zhang Quming and said: "Senior brother, you take the troops to continue to return to the front-line positions outside the city to block the Japanese army, before dark today, I will not allow you to lose the front-line positions outside the city, do you understand?!" ”

Zhang Qumingyuan replied with a serious face: "Master! You can rest assured! As long as I'm here, the little devil won't want to cross the position! Saying that, Zhang Quming hung up the phone and said to Dong Yeyang: "Old Dong, the division has handed over the peripheral positions to us!" Do you have any good ideas? ”
