Chen Geng's stealing of the sky changed the city of Nantong, as a city far away from the base of the East China Field Army and far away from the front line, since receiving the combat order from Nanjing. The whole city, too, was enveloped in a tense atmosphere for the first time.

Under the command of the division commander, Lieutenant General Kanda Masase, the troops in full armor quickly drove out of the city gate and assembled at the railway station outside the city. Of course, Lieutenant General Kanda Masazen, commander of the 17th Field Division of the Tongzhou Defenders, also came to the assembly place of the troops surrounded by the guard troops, preparing to attack with the troops as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, according to your order, the four infantry wings, the heavy infantry wing, the cavalry wing, and the engineer wing, a total of 20,000 troops, have all been assembled, please instruct..."

"Yo Xi, very nice. I believe that with the 20,000 elites in my hands, I will definitely be able to deliver a big surprise to the East China Field Army," Lieutenant General Kanda Masasan nodded with great satisfaction and said confidently.

After quickly glancing at the splendid combat troops in front of him, he set his eyes on the chief of staff who stayed in Tongzhou. Then, he said: "Chief of Staff, I will leave the safety of Tongzhou City to you......" "Please rest assured, I believe that with the independent garrison wing, independent heavy artillery brigade, and field artillery wing directly under the division and regiment in Taizhou City, we will definitely be able to ensure the foolproof safety of Tongzhou City..."

Of course, this self-confidence does not stem from the strength of the troops in hand. Because as the chief of staff, he knows very well in his heart that the troops in his hands look very strong, and the number of heavy weapons is huge. Danshi, in a real field battle, these troops, can not wield much combat effectiveness, after all, no matter how good the artillery, it cannot put a bayonet on the artillery.

And now, as the chief of staff, there are two reasons why he is so confident.

On the one hand, he was only responsible for defending the city.

With the heavy weapons in his hands, in the battle to defend the city, with the favorable cooperation of these heavy weapons, he can completely manage the entire Tongzhou City into a thorny hedgehog, so that the enemy can not bite at all. Of course, there is another reason, that is, according to the report of the headquarters, the East China Field Army, Yijing, has no extra troops to attack its own "heavily defended, Tongzhou City."

Seeing the confident chief of staff in front of him, Lieutenant General Kanda Masase, who also knew the specific reason in his heart, smiled with great satisfaction and didn't say anything more. Then, facing the combat staff officer in front of him, he ordered with a serious face.

"Operational staff officer, immediately convey my order, all combat units, in accordance with the predetermined combat plan, immediately take the train north, through Hai'an County to attack............"

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the division commander is wise, and he will go and give orders immediately............"

Compared to the tense atmosphere in Nanjing, Taizhou, Yangzhou, and even Nantong. Hai'an County, the only way from Nantong to Taizhou Railway Line, is quiet, and there is no impact because of the war that is close at hand.

Early in the morning, the shops in the city begin to open their doors to welcome the arrival of a new day. A group of patrolmen, still walking in neat steps and carrying rifles on their shoulders, walked out of the barracks and began their one-day patrol. At the same time, teams of spies Han Jiān also began to appear on the streets and alleys, searching for what they thought were suspicious characters.

However, to the surprise of all the vendors, among the troops who came out to patrol today, whether it was the Japanese army with strict military discipline or the Han Jiān with loose military discipline, the spies were surprisingly honest. Because, in one morning, in the entire market, there was no phenomenon of forced buying and selling by Japanese soldiers, Han jiān, spies and others.

Of course, this is only a small change in Hai'an County. As for the bigger changes, that's still to come. Just as the city gate was opened, a group of elite "Japanese soldiers" quickly occupied the city gate and began to impose military martial law. All old surnames are only allowed to enter, not to leave. The railway station, which is less than two kilometers away from the county seat of Hai'an, was also completely occupied by a brigade of elite "Japanese troops" early in the morning, and no one was allowed to approach it............

In this atmosphere of calm and tension, in the former Supreme Headquarters of the Japanese Army in Hai'an County, the figure of Chen Geng, commander of the Sixth Corps, actually appeared.

"Chief of Staff, how is the situation in the city, and are there any accidents? And the train station, which is the most important thing in our operation, and no matter what, there can be no mistakes. Otherwise, our strategy of stealing the day will become ineffective. "Commander, we deployed in full accordance with the pre-war arrangements, and there were no accidents during the whole process. I promise that before the 17th Field Division of the Japanese Army is completely annihilated, the news about our army's occupation of Hai'an County will definitely not go out," the chief of staff assured with great confidence.

"It's so ......, there is really no xiangdao, the combat effectiveness of our special operations division has reached such a strong point. Without a single shot, with just a dagger, he quietly occupied a county town, and the Japanese army did not notice that I am now more and more admired by the commander-in-chief, I really can't imagine how the commander-in-chief trained such an elite army" After listening to the report of the chief of staff, Chen Geng's nervous heart was immediately put down, and then said with a sigh of emotion. In my mind, for the first time, the specific battle scene of the special operations regiment last night came to mind.

It turned out that since the troops were ordered to attack, Chen Liao, as the commander. In my mind, I have been thinking about how to complete the combat mission assigned by the headquarters at the lowest cost. Of course, it would be better if the tasks assigned by the headquarters could be exceeded.

So, after a day and night of thinking, Hai'an County, located on the railway line, and a plan to change the day appeared in Chen Liao's mind.

Of course, as good as the plan is, someone has to carry it out. And in the middle of the whole plan, the most important joint is how to quietly change the day, quietly step on Hai'an County, and wait for the Japanese army's first field division to throw itself into the net.

Just Chen Geng announced his battle plan and the difficulties he faced at the corps divisional and above operational meeting. Wang Hong, the commander of the first regiment of the special operations division assigned to Chen Ji by the headquarters, stood up from his seat without hesitation, and swore that in the eyes of everyone, it was almost impossible to complete the task..., six so, a bloody and shocking sneak attack battle, was staged in Hai'an County Under the cover of the night, one by one, the special combat team members, like ghosts, quickly climbed the city wall. Then, under the stunned gaze of the Japanese patrol, a dagger with cold light was accurately inserted into their hearts, ending their lives in the shortest time and energy.

In less than five minutes, a little... The city gate defended by the Japanese army was quietly taken down by dozens of special combat personnel. Immediately afterwards, in the small county town, the Japanese garrison headquarters, the troop station, the military police headquarters, the police inspection bureau, the special service station, and the railway station all the places where the Japanese puppet army was stationed, all entered the presence of the special combat team. Wherever the special combat team members went, what they left behind was bound to be a bloody battlefield without a single living mouth...... Second, when Commander Chen Geng walked into the headquarters with the command staff of the headquarters. In the headquarters compound, the bloody scene shook everyone's hearts fiercely.

As soon as I walked into the headquarters, a strong smell of blood rushed to everyone's nostrils.

At the same time, a Japanese corpse placed in various postures was placed horizontally and vertically in front of everyone. As the commander, Chen Geng calculated at the beginning that there were no corpses gathered in the small courtyard.

And just when Chen Liao was shocked by the strength of the combat effectiveness of the special operations division. Wang Hong, the head of the first special operations regiment, appeared in front of everyone with a relaxed voice and shadow. Then, he said with a smile on his face.

"Commander Chen, I'm sorry, because the manpower of the special operations regiment is too scattered. The corpses in the courtyard have not been cleaned up yet, but the specific results of the battle, yijing has completely counted them. According to the reports of the combat detachments, during the two-hour battle, our special operations regiment wiped out a total of 1,358 Japanese garrisons, 872 puppet troops, and 128 spies at the cost of zero casualties. All the enemies, according to the battle plan, no one escaped the net, all of them were wiped out ......, "Commander Wang, more than 2,000 people, all of them were destroyed by you with daggers...... Chen Geng, who truly experienced the combat effectiveness of the special operations division for the first time, asked with a shocked face.

"Yes

After receiving Wang Hong's affirmative answer, Chen Geng's heart, although he was prepared, Danshi, could still fall into infinite shock. Then, he said: "Commander Wang, there is really no xiangdao, the combat effectiveness of the special operations division has reached such an amazing realm. After two hours of fighting, your regiment of yijing is hard enough, and the rest will be handed over to the soldiers of the Sixth Corps. I believe that these soldiers are still capable of cleaning up the battlefield...... Second, "looked at Wang Hong, who was leaving quickly, and Chen Geng, who reacted from the shock. A face was immediately shrouded by the spirit of excitement. Quickly rushed into Yijing's cleaned war room and began to deploy the specific combat missions of the various troops...... Second, early in the morning, the "Japanese patrol" Han Jiān team" special service team seen by ordinary old surnames, without exception, was played by the soldiers of the Sixth Corps. As for the main force of the Sixth Corps, under the personal command of Chen Geng, a huge net was arranged with the railway station as the center, waiting for the 17th Field Division of the Japanese Army to throw itself into the net.
