Xuzhou Fifth Theater Command.

Li Zongren received a report that Ryosuke Isoya had run away and attacked Lanling. After the original annihilation of the Seya detachment, it was difficult to realize the plan of encircling and annihilating Isoya Ryosuke, and if Lanling was lost, Isoya Ryosuke and the Fifth Division would converge, and the situation in the Battle of Xuzhou would be reversed.

In order to gain the initiative, he ordered the remnants of the Seya detachment to be annihilated as soon as possible.

At this time, the troops participating in the encirclement and annihilation of the Seya detachment included Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps, Sun Lianzhong's 24th Group Army, and the 2nd Group Army with nearly 40,000 troops in five divisions.

There were only more than 4,000 people left in the remnants of the Seya detachment, but they occupied part of the urban area of Taierzhuang, and the terrain of the troops outside the city was also better, and the fortifications were relatively complete. The artillery of the national army was insufficient, and it was not possible to break through the Japanese positions for a while.

Chairman Chiang, who was looking forward to the news of the victory, was very anxious and personally came to the front line in Xuzhou.

In the war room, Bai Chongxi was reporting to Chairman Jiang: "Chairman of the Committee, the current situation is that the Zaozhuang area in the north has been completely controlled by the Huben Brigade, and the Japanese army cannot be reinforced along the Jinpu Railway.

The Japanese Seya detachment in Taierzhuang had been completely surrounded, and Degong had already ordered a general attack, but due to the enemy's complete fortifications and the lack of heavy artillery in our army, the attack did not go well.

The main force of Ryosuke Isoya's 10th Division had already given up its attempt to relieve the siege of the Seya detachment and turned to the direction of Lanling, intending to open up contact with the 5th Division.

Lanling is currently the focus of this battle, and it is also the weakest point, once Lanling is lost, the Japanese 5th and 10th Divisions converge, and the plan to annihilate the Seya detachment cannot be realized. The plan for the Battle of Xuzhou failed.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the defense line of Lanling, as long as Lanling is held, not only the Seya detachment can be annihilated, but even the 10th Division of Isoya Ryosuke may also be annihilated. ”

Chairman Jiang nodded and said: "The current situation in the Battle of Xuzhou is very good, Delin, you have done a good job, this time, as long as you annihilate the Seya detachment, it will be a great victory." The Battle of Xuzhou was a victory. ”

Li Zongren said: "I have already issued an order to encircle and annihilate the Seya detachment, and their destruction is a matter of time. As for the Lanling defense line, I have no troops to send now, and the guard regiments of the fifth theater have been sent to Taierzhuang, and the Lanling defense line can only rely on Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun. ”

Chairman Jiang asked, "Didn't the Tiger Brigade of the Summer Dynasty already set off from Zaozhuang?" When can I get to Lanling? ”

Li Zongren said: "They are far away from Lanling, and I am afraid that they will not be able to reach Lanling for a while." ”

As he was talking, Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi came over with a telegram, and he said excitedly: "Chairman of the Committee, General Seat, Xia Chao called, he has led his troops to Lanling, and has already entangled Isoya Ryosuke, let us let go and attack the Seya detachment." He promised not to let Lanling be attacked by Ryosuke Isoya. ”

Chairman Jiang was very happy and a little puzzled, and he said: "Xia Chao is worthy of being a good student of mine, and this Xuzhou meeting has made great contributions. He set off from Zaozhuang, how did they arrive in Lanling so quickly? ”

Li Zongren said with a smile: "The Tiger Brigade is your descendant, all of them are mechanized, and it is said that there are hundreds of taels of cars." ”

Chairman Jiang was also not clear about the specific situation of the Tiger Brigade, and he was not clear about how the weapons and equipment of the Xia Dynasty were reversed.

After a while, he said: "Since Zhang Zizhong, Pang Bingxun and Xia Chao have blocked the Japanese reinforcements, you must hurry up and annihilate the Seya detachment." ”

Besides, Ryosuke Isoya, who led the main force to come, was very angry. The vanguard troops he sent originally expected them to sneak attack Zhang Zizhong's troops and open up the Lanling defense line for him, and specially gave them tank troops and cars. Unexpectedly, they were still grinding here.

At this time, the commander of the vanguard came in an armored car, and he did not get out of the car, but reported in one of the firing holes of the armored car: "Your Excellency, division commander, please do not get out of the car, there are enemy snipers here." ”

Ryosuke Isoya originally wanted to get out of the car, but when he saw him, he gave him a few big mouths, and when he heard that there was a sniper, he didn't dare to take any chances. I listened to the debriefing in the armored car.

At this moment, the team of devils marching on foot behind was attacked, and people kept falling. The devils immediately occupied the ditches on both sides of the road and counterattacked.

Zhang Quan received an order from Xia Chao to continue to contain the devils while preserving the special combat team. He commanded the special combat team, 300 meters away from the road, running coldly, and continued to harass the devils.

The devils are really not used to this style of play. They shoot at the enemy, at such a distance, the accuracy of the shot is very poor, and the enemy is constantly changing positions, basically ineffective.

The snipers of the special combat team, all with scopes on their guns, and a distance of 300 meters, for them, it is like playing, and there are many devils, all on the side of the road, one by one.

Ryosuke Isoya had never experienced such a gruesome battle, and he felt that it was not the way to go on like this, and he had to get out of here as soon as possible. He ordered the squadron to advance 200 meters to both sides of the road to ensure safety on the road.

When the special combat team saw the devil attacking, they retreated, always maintaining a distance of 300 meters from the devil.

Ryosuke Isoya finally had a certain amount of safe space, so he came to the front of the road, sent someone to tie the damaged tank with a steel cable, and pulled it with two tanks, tossing for a long time, and finally opened the road.

At this very moment, hundreds more soldiers were killed.

The devil continued to move forward, walking for about a few hundred meters, the flat place was gone, and the road entered a complex terrain again, and the sides of the road were not suitable for vehicle movement. At this moment, the tank, which was walking in front, was blown up by a mine. The troops stopped again.

Ryosuke Isoya was going crazy, he ordered the troops to control both sides of the road, came to the front in an armored car, and got out of the car to check.

Lucas is shooting like a target, constantly sending the devil back to his hometown. Suddenly, I saw Ryosuke Isoya's armored car stop, and an officer got down from it, and at this time he was about 500 meters away from the officer, so he couldn't see it clearly, but when he saw him hugging him in front of him, he knew that it was a big official, so he gave him a shot.

Ryosuke Isoya was directing troops to clear the road when a shot from Lucas hit him in the left ear, and the bullet went into his head. Ryosuke Isoya is dead.

The chief of staff of the 10th Division, Hyogo Ryuyan Daisa, took over the command of the troops, and he judged the form of the battlefield and sensed a greater danger. The enemy's small forces attacked, entangled the 10th Division to the death, must have bought time for the movement of its main forces. The current situation of the 10th Division, once the enemy's main force arrives, can only be surrounded and annihilated.

Hyogo Ryugo's Osa, who is smarter than Ryosuke Isoya, comes up with an idea that surprises everyone.
