Sujiatun said that the former enemy headquarters of the 24th Brigade of the 12th Division of the Army.

The chief of staff of the 24th Brigade, Goro Oxford, bowed his head and reported the military situation to the commander of the 24th Brigade, Major General Yutaro Tengpei:

"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the headquarters of the 4th Air Defense Wing and the 2nd Air Defense Wing have all arrived and been deployed, and they are ready to attack."

"Yutaro Tenghei nodded happily and said, "When will the heavy artillery brigade arrive?" ”

"It's expected to be tomorrow noon at the earliest." Oxford Goro bowed his head and said.

"Tomorrow at noon, don't wait, with the assistance of the air defense wing, we don't have to be afraid of the air raid of the Zhinamen anymore." Saying that, Tengping Yutaro paused, got up and said solemnly: "Pass my order, the 48th Wing will immediately take over from the 24th Infantry Wing and launch an attack on Sujiatun!" ”

"Hay!" Oxford Goro bowed his head abruptly in response.

…………………… At Sujiatun Station, Zhang Xinghan had returned to the division headquarters, and the purpose of boosting morale had been achieved by visiting the front line for the first time.

As the supreme commander of the Reading Division, he certainly can't always stay in the front-line trenches and act as a big soldier.

There are still very important things waiting for him to make a decision.

"Master's seat, Senza's emergency electricity." A communications soldier suddenly stood up.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan stretched out his hand to take the telegram, quickly read it, and couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth: "This Wu Chengfeng is not bad, he actually knows how to use mechanized warfare, call back to the chief of staff, and ask him to encourage the madman Wu first, and I will officially reward him after this battle!" ”

"Yes!" The communications corps stood up.

At this time, Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion, walked in and saluted: "Division, just now Li Zhenyuan sent someone to inform you that another part of the air defense wing of the Yue Army has arrived at Sujiatun under the cover of its main infantry force, and the disparity between the enemy and our forces is too great, and after the first attack, the air defense unit of the Yue Army has obviously increased its vigilance, and the armored company has no chance to attack, so it will let it pass." ”

"A devil's air defense wing has killed three brigades, and one has been killed by an armored company, and he has to stay behind to assist the air defense of heavy artillery brigades.

By the way, have you figured out the specific location of the devil's heavy artillery brigade? Zhang Xinghan asked.

"Not yet, the reconnaissance company is doing its best to detect, but it should be on the railway line near the lighthouse, after all, the heavy artillery brigade has left the railway, and it is extremely troublesome for the devil's car to be towed. He said that he had imposed martial law around the railway, so it was a bit difficult to carry out reconnaissance. ”

"Tell Yizhi that you must find out the specific location of the heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army as soon as possible, and guide the air force to carry out precision bombing." Zhang Xinghan said.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Guo Zhong saluted and left.

In the evening, the 48th Infantry Wing of the 24th Brigade of the Chinese Army, after some careful preparations, once again mobilized 10 tanks and a large number of infantry to launch a fierce attack on the 701st Regiment of the Reading Division.

Due to the approaching darkness of the night, the 701st Regiment could not get air reinforcements, and this defensive battle was extremely fierce.

The threat of the tanks was so great that when the battle was fierce, there were even soldiers of the 701st Regiment who dared to die to jump out of the trenches and rush to the tanks using Molotov cocktails and cluster grenades.

In order to avoid casualties of the infantry, Zhang Xinghan hurriedly transferred Li Zhen's armored company to reinforce, and under the surprise attack of the armored company, he defeated the attack of the Yue army, destroyed several tanks of the Yue army, and killed the enemy in hundreds of ways.

In order to prevent the Shenyang army from taking the opportunity to cross the river and attack on both sides, Zhang Xinghan ordered Sabuli to lead a cavalry regiment to patrol and guard along the east bank of the Hunhe River.

At nine o'clock that night, Yutaro Tengpei, who was unwilling to fail, mobilized his forces to attack again.

When the fierce battle was fierce, Yutaro Tengpei even went to the front line and brandished a command knife to inspire his subordinates to charge.

The artillery on both sides is also bombarding each other with all their might, and the artillery of the entire Sujiatun is rumbling, the guns are loud, and the flames in the dark night and the tongues of fire crisscrossing under the dense night sky reflect each other, which is particularly dazzling.

The 701st Regiment relied on its absolute superiority in firepower to knock down the devils who risked their lives and charged in groups.

Taking advantage of the fierce battle ahead, Zhang Xinghan ordered Li Zhenyuan to command the armored company to take the opportunity to return to the rear of the 24th Brigade of the Yue Army and kill the combined artillery group of the two wings of the 24th Brigade.

Having lost the cover of artillery fire, the offensive of the 24th brigade was again lost.

In the temporary headquarters of the 24th Brigade, Yutaro Tengpei was straightening up to answer the phone, enjoying the angry roar from the division commander Sugiyama Moto.

"Stupid pig, bastard!" Sugiyama Gen on the other end of the phone is angry, and he has lost the artillery group, which means that the attack cannot continue, and the night is now the most precious time for the imperial army, so it is wasted, how can Sugiyama not be angry.

On the other end of the phone, Teng Pingyong nodded again and again: "Hai, Hai!" ”

"Please send the heavy artillery brigade to the front line as soon as the division commander arrives, as long as the heavy artillery brigade arrives, we can easily destroy the defense line of the Chinese people and completely encircle and annihilate them." After Teng Pingyong was scolded, he began to plead.

"To mobilize all air defense forces to defend against air raids by the Air Force of the China Army, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the heavy artillery brigades in any case! Do you drip? Sugiyama Yuan yelled in an ugly tone.

"Hay, I understand."

"The railway has been repaired, and the heavy artillery brigade will arrive in two hours at the latest, so you must be ready to respond."

"Hai, thank you for the support of Your Excellency the division commander, this time I will definitely live up to expectations, I will definitely take Sujiatun, annihilate the enemy in front of me, and not let anyone slip through the net." Teng Ping Yutaro bowed his head suddenly with joy, and the malaise that had just failed in the attack was suddenly swept away.

With the heavy artillery brigade, the end of the people on the opposite side has arrived, and Teng Pingyong is extremely proud.

…………………… At Sujiatun Station, a scout arrived and reported to Zhang Xinghan: Division, the devil has repaired the railway, a large number of trains have started from the direction of the lighthouse, they patrol back and forth with armored trains and infantry to guard the railway line, we can't destroy it again, Company Commander Shen specially asked me to come to report, please find a way to speed up. "Division, it's still early in the morning, we must not let the little devil's heavy artillery brigade arrive smoothly, otherwise in less than three hours, they will be able to shell the position of our 701st Regiment, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Liu Jianguo was a little anxious when he heard this.

Zhang Xinghan said that he knew better than anyone how much of the threat of the army's heavy artillery brigade was, and that all 150 large-caliber heavy guns would have dozens of catties of projectiles after one shot.

The radius of the explosion is tens of meters, and it is no exaggeration to say that if it is coincidental, one shot can kill a platoon.

Its destructive power is extremely amazing, not to mention these non-reinforced concrete permanent fortifications in Sujiatun, even if they are permanent fortifications poured with reinforced concrete.

If it is accurately bombarded by this heavy artillery, then there will be only one end, and it will be wiped out.

Therefore, in any case, it must be destroyed, or delayed in the arrival of the army's heavy artillery brigades to the front.

Otherwise, Su Jiatun couldn't hold it, and his 6,000 cavalry would have to be explained here.

Of course, you can also lead your troops to retreat now.

In that case, all the previous efforts will be in vain, obviously the situation is not bad yet, Zhang Xinghan will not give up easily.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xinghan made up his mind and said: "Pass my order, the armored company and the guard battalion will all assemble, and follow me to attack the heavy artillery brigade of the Yue Army through the wicker ditch, even if it cannot be destroyed, it cannot be allowed to arrive at Sujiatun before dawn." ”

"Division, what a heavy artillery brigade of the devils, they will definitely have heavy guards, isn't this too risky." Liu Jianguo said with a worried face.

"No matter how threatening we are, we must give it a try, or we will have only one way to retreat." Zhang Xinghan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sujiatun will be handed over to you, before dawn, I will try my best to prevent the heavy artillery brigade of the Yue army from participating in the battle, but you must always be vigilant to prevent me from taking advantage of the situation." ”

"Please rest assured, the people are in the position!" Liu Jianguo stepped forward and said solemnly.

…………… About ten minutes later, in order to cover Zhang Xinghan's actions, Liu Jianguo ordered the forward troops to launch a night attack on the devil with a symbolic surname, which attracted the attention of the Yue army.

Zhang Xinghan led the guard battalion and the armored company to quietly leave Sujiatun.

About 20 minutes later, Zhang Xinghan led his troops and the reconnaissance company to converge 15 kilometers from Sujiatun.

"Yizhi, how's the situation going?" Seeing Shen Xingye, Zhang Xinghan opened his mouth and asked.

"The devil's train is heavy with heavy artillery, and it may have to guard against our night attack, so it's very full, and this thing looks really heavy." Shen Xingye said.

"What's the situation with the deployment of the devil's troops?" Zhang Xinghan asked again.

"There are armed armored trains at both ends of the train, and every two carriages are also equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, the muzzles of which are flattened, and a large number of infantry along the railway are on guard throughout the whole process, so it is too difficult to attack." Shen Xingye replied with a worried face.

"It seems that the devils have stolen a lot from us, and they know how to use anti-aircraft weapons to level and hit ground targets." Zhang Xinghan smiled a little bitterly.

Shen Xingye nodded silently.

"Master, what should we do?" Guo Zhong asked.

"Bring me the map." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.

Soon a soldier brought the map and handed him a flashlight.

By the light of the flashlight, Zhang Xinghan looked at the map and pointed to the railway line: "At my speed, they can arrive at Sujiatun in an hour at the latest, so we must do it immediately, otherwise it will be too late." ”

"Master, what do you say we should do?" Shen Xingye said.

"Divide the troops."

"Division?"

"Yes, Yizhi, I will equip you with two armored vehicles, you take the reconnaissance company to the front of the train to feign an attack and sabotage the railway, and attract the infantry and armored train as much as possible, and then I command the armored company to launch a surprise attack on the devil, and strive to destroy it, even if it cannot be completely destroyed, it must be paralyzed, and wait for dawn before sending the air force to completely destroy it." Zhang Xinghan nodded.
