"It is reported that our reinforcements have been subjected to enemy air strikes and are currently making slow progress."

The chief of staff came to Nishio Shouzo with a telegram that reinforcements had been attacked, and gave him a briefing on the situation.

"Baga, order them to do everything they can to arrive at the battlefield within three hours and pick up the retreating troops."

Nishio Shouzo also has a headache now, and finally hoped for reinforcements, but he was detected and attacked by an air raid. This has not yet been beaten before some is lost. But now that the battle situation is urgent, even if the losses are large, he still stubbornly lets these troops go up.

"Hay, let's give the order."

The chief of staff of the devil also knows that the battle has been fought so far, and it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it is impossible to retreat, so he can only be strong.

"Hurry, hurry, comrades, hurry up, hurry."

The Flying Fox troops are also very anxious, and what they lack most now is time, so they are constantly urging the soldiers to buy time as much as possible.

"Commander, the team is too slow, and it is estimated that it will not be able to arrive within a few hours." Looking at the reports from all over the country, Chief of Staff Chen became worried.

"You're right, it's too slow. In this way, the tank regiments of each division were ordered to set off at once, and quickly reinforce the past, so as to gain time for the arrival of the brigade. Chen Jinghui suggested.

"Agreed, it might be better." Chief of Staff Chen said.

"Then execute!" Chen Jinghui said.

Soon the order was given to the various units, and the tank regiments of the divisions immediately rushed out of the brigade and began to walk alone along the avenue all the way to the battlefield. They drove the horsepower to the maximum and went as fast as they could. Sometimes they don't even take the big road, and take the trail for a short distance. Some of the trails were narrow because of their width, and after the tanks passed, many trees on both sides of the road were blown down.

Buzz Buzz......

An hour later, the second wave of Flying Fox's air force arrived over the Devil's reinforcements and began to carry out air strikes on the Devil's reinforced troops. But because the devils scattered the fleet relatively far, the effect was not very large, and it did not kill many devils, but only slowed down the speed of the devils.

Squeaky ......

Boom Boom Boom ...... Da-da-da-da

Just an hour after the air raid by the Air Force, the tank units of the divisions finally arrived on the battlefield. They launched a sudden attack from behind the devils, with machine guns and artillery, and the devils were dizzy.

"Baga, you go to block it, and the others speed up their attack and kill it."

The devils immediately divided part of their forces and began to block the surprise attack of the tank troops. Then the brigade continued to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in front, hoping to break through as soon as possible.

"Haha, our reinforcements have arrived, comrades hold on a little longer."

Da-da-da, da-da-da

Seeing that the rear of the devil was attacked by tanks, the soldiers of the division in charge of blocking the attack began to shout, and the momentum immediately increased, and the intensity of the blocking attack increased a lot in an instant.

"Tear a hole open and rush through."

The task of the tank units reinforced behind is to assist the division to block the devils, so they must rush through the devils' positions and go to the opposite side of the devils. So they retreated the tank for a certain distance and then suddenly accelerated, drove as fast as they could, and then rushed towards the devil's position from the rear.

"Yaga, get out of the way, quickly."

Seeing such a rapid impact of the tanks, several division commanders of the devils knew that their troops could not be stopped, and they could only minimize casualties.

Da-da-da, boom-boom

In just a few minutes, the tank rushed through the camp of the devils, came to the blocking position, and then quickly turned around and began to participate in the blocking.

Da-da-da, bang-bang

"Kill to give...... Kill to ......"

However, after less than two hours of blocking, their rear was suddenly attacked by a large number of devils, causing their blocking position to crumble.

"Commander, the devil's reinforcements have arrived, but it will take an hour for our brigade to arrive." Chief of Staff Chen said.

"Got it, little devil, it's almost, just a little. Ask the blocking troops how long they can hold out. Chen Jinghui scolded angrily, but he was still unwilling to give up this opportunity.

"Commander, they said that they are now being flanked by nearly 15 devils on both sides, and they will hold out for half an hour at most, and their ammunition has now begun to run out." Chief of Staff Chen said.

"Oh, I don't want that. Order the tank troops to take the lead, and the blocking troops follow behind to break through the devil's flanking defense line, rush out, and let the devil pass. ”

Chen Jinghui was very helpless, the situation changed abruptly, and he had to change his strategy and let go of the devil. If the devils are not allowed to pass, I am afraid that the division that blocked the attack will be exhausted, and the tank troops will also suffer great losses, which will bring great inconvenience to their subsequent attacks.

Da-da-da, boom-boom

After receiving the order, the tank troops immediately took the lead, and the infantry followed behind, and began to plunge into the camp of the devils, and then quickly broke through and came to the rear of the devils. After running out for a mile, they turned around and looked at the devil's embarrassed evacuation, feeling very aggrieved, and many fighters angrily punched and kicked directly at the tree trunk next to them.

"What about troop casualties?"

An hour later, a large group of men arrived. Wang Dabao, commander of the Second Army, called the division commander to him and asked about the casualties.

"Report to the commander, the casualties of the troops are two-fifths, and the casualties are very large." Which one really lowered his head and said.

"Well, everyone has worked hard, go down to comfort the emotions of the fighters and have a good rest." Wang Dabao said.

"Inform General Command of the situation here."

"Commander, the devils in Zhejiang have broken through and are now approaching Hangzhou. The devils on Nanjing's side have now been completely blocked. Chief of Staff Chen said.

"Got it. The devil's reinforcement of Nanjing's troops will soon arrive, and this devil must not be allowed to reinforce Nanjing. The order of the guards is to go over immediately, and cooperate with the Third Army to be sure to say that the devils are annihilated outside the city of Nanjing. At the same time, he ordered the Second Army to let them rest for a while, and immediately launch an attack on Hangzhou, not to give the devils a chance to breathe. ”

The situation is still the same, and Chen Jinghui is not ambiguous, now that the devil has just arrived at the target Hangzhou, he will definitely not have time to make a specific defense. This is also an excellent opportunity to attack the city, and Chen Jinghui will definitely not let it go.

"Order the air force to take off in half an hour to reinforce the battlefield in Hangzhou. Now that the devils are all sniping together, give me a good blow-up. ”

The devils have all arrived in Hangzhou, and they will inevitably defend Hangzhou, so this will bomb them, and they will definitely gain a lot.

"Lao Chen, immediately notify you to move the commander-in-chief forward to Quanjiao, we are on the verge of front-line command." Chen Jinghui said again.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

In fact, Chief of Staff Chen also has this idea, and only the closer he is to the scene, can he have a more direct understanding of the battlefield and make judgments and adjustments in a timely manner.

"According to the report, our troops in Zhejiang have successfully withdrawn to Hangzhou and are currently intensively building an offensive."

On the devil's side, the chief of staff told the good news to Nishio Shouzo.

"Yoxi, good job." Nishio Toshizo was very satisfied.

"Your Excellency Commander, I suggest that we immediately transfer our headquarters to Shanghai, Nanjing is too dangerous." said the chief of staff.

"Yo Xi, you're right, we'll leave for Shanghai immediately."

Nishio Shouzo also felt that Nanjing was very dangerous now, and it was easy to be attacked, and the headquarters was located here, and once it was attacked, the operational command system in Central China would be paralyzed, and it would be a great disaster.

"Hurry up, hurry up and build artillery positions, hurry."

The commanders of both sides had some thought in their command, one retreating and the other advancing. On the Hangzhou side, the artillery is nervously building positions and preparing to attack Hangzhou.

Boom Boom Boom ......

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of intensive artillery fire suddenly sounded outside Hangzhou, and then countless shells began to wreak havoc on the devil's position as if they had eyes, destroying the devils at will.

"Baga, get into the anti-artillery hole, quickly."

Hangzhou has already built a permanent offensive, and there will naturally be no shortage of anti-artillery holes. As soon as the devils were bombed, they immediately looked around for anti-artillery holes to take shelter and wait for the shelling to end.

"Commander, the guard division reported that they have successfully arrived at the combat area, and they have blocked all the devils in Jiangsu who have withdrawn to Nanjing with the troops of the Third Army, and they are currently fighting fiercely."

On the way to Quanjiao, Chief of Staff Chen received a report from the guard division and immediately reported to Chen Jinghui.

"Well, yes, they must eat this devil before it gets dark." Chen Jinghui said.

Tweet ...... Boom, boom, boom

After the order was issued, Liu Changjiang's Third Army immediately dispatched two artillery regiments to reinforce it, and cooperated with the previous two divisions and the guard division to start a frantic attack on the devils.

"Baga, kill to give, kill to give"

The devil received a death order and must assemble in Nanjing. Therefore, no matter how strong the resistance was, they still launched a frantic attack on the blocking troops as always, wanting to break through the defense line and enter the city of Nanjing.

"Order the tank regiment to go around to the rear, let's have a front and back attack, and try to eat these devils as soon as possible."

In fact, this group of devils only has the strength of a squad and division, and it is still mixed, so its combat effectiveness is not very strong. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, several division commanders who surrounded them immediately made adjustments.

Squeak

Boom Boom Boom ......

Half an hour later, two tank regiments suddenly appeared from behind the devils and launched a fierce assault. The devil was caught off guard all of a sudden, and the offensive front was extremely close to the brink of collapse.

"Charge."

Doodoo ......

Kill......

Seeing that the devil's offensive front was already crumbling and unformed, several division commanders immediately ordered a general attack. Tens of thousands of soldiers jumped out of the trenches with the sound of the charge and began to rush towards the devils with great momentum.
