Nansha River battlefield, the headquarters of the 8th Brigade of the Army.

Looking at the middle [***] team besieging their own position and retreating like a tide again, the chief of staff of the 8th Brigade, Chongyue Miki, couldn't help but smile proudly, turned to the brigade commander Lai Wuping and said: "General, it seems that Tang Enbo's department is nothing more than that, and trying to encircle and annihilate my 8th Brigade with their combat effectiveness is tantamount to a dream in vain." ”

Lai Wuping was not happy at all, because the Tiger Army had never appeared, if the Tiger Army was transferred to the Eastern Front to meet the Fifth Division of the Imperial Army, it would definitely be good news for the 8th Brigade, if the Tiger Army was not transferred to the Eastern Front, but came here, then his 8th Brigade would probably follow in the footsteps of the Seya Detachment.

Thinking of this, Lai Wuping immediately said to Chongyue Miki: "Chongyue-kun, don't take it lightly, the ace unit of the Zhina Army, the Tiger Army, has not yet appeared, and the 39th and 40th Wings are strictly ordered to be vigilant and strictly defend!" Hold out until the 14th Division arrives no matter what! ”

"Hay!" Chongyue Miki didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly lowered his head suddenly, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

…………………… Soon, Lai Wuping's worst fear happened, as the besieging troops of Tang Enbo's department retreated, another squadron of [***] drove up, and to the shock of the devil soldiers, these new squadrons actually had a group of tanks and combat vehicles.

After the Tiger Army arrived on the battlefield, the artillery of the three divisions began to build artillery positions, and the infantry of each division also began to move around the 8th Brigade, and soon took over the position of Townenbo's headquarters and surrounded the 8th Brigade.

About half an hour later, the artillery regiments of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions of the Huben Army were ready one after another, and with the orders of the commanders of each division, hundreds of howitzers, field guns, and mortars of various types of artillery from the three artillery regiments opened fire almost simultaneously.

For a time, the entire Nansha River rumbled and the flames soared into the sky.

The artillery of the Tiger Army was much more powerful than the 4th Artillery Regiment under Tang Enbo, and neither the caliber nor the number of artillery could be compared with the 20th Army.

"Boom, boom......" Lai Wuping, who was sitting at the brigade headquarters, was shocked by the sudden rumbling of artillery, and with a frightened face, he and Chief of Staff Chongyue Miki looked at each other in surprise and asked, "Chongyue-kun, what's going on?" How did the artillery fire of Townenburg's department become so intense? ”

"It's not clear what this lowly position is." Chongyue Miki was also at a loss.

Lai Wuping hurriedly walked out of the brigade headquarters in a horrified heart, raised the telescope and looked in the direction of the forward position, looking at the forward position that was already a sea of fire, Lai Wuping's voice trembled a little and said: "Baga, this is definitely not the artillery fire of Tang Enbo's department. ”

"Could it be the Tiger Army?" Chongyue Miki said suspiciously.

After a long time, the roaring artillery fire finally began to extend, Lai Wuping was horrified to find that the attacking squadron actually dispatched an astonishing number of large tank combat vehicles, seeing this scene, Lai Wuping suddenly fell into an ice cave, and gritted his teeth in horror and said: "Baga Yalu, it turned out to be the army of the Tiger Ben of China, Qiao Anbang's troops." ”

Chongyue Miki had also heard of the murderous reputation of the Tiger Ben Army, and immediately said with a heavy face: "General, what should we do?" ”

"Send a telegram to General Dohihara immediately and ask him to fire for reinforcements from the army!" Lai Wuping forced a calm voice.

"Hay!" Miki Chongyue suddenly bowed his head in response, and then turned around with his saber on his shoulder and walked away quickly.

…………………… Teng County, the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Army, in order to facilitate the command of the troops, the commander of the 14th Division, Kenji Dohihara, also set up his headquarters here.

In the Joint Command, Kenji Tsuchihara, Ryosuke Isotani and others were gathered in front of the map with anxious expressions, anxiously waiting for the battle situation on the front line.

While anxiously waiting, Kenji Dohihara persuaded with relief: "Isoya-kun, don't worry too much, I have ordered all wings to attack with all their strength, and the current progress is rapid, I believe that we will be able to join up with the Lai Wu Brigade soon." ”

As soon as Kenji Dohihara's words fell, a rush of footsteps sounded, and a devil communication staff officer hurriedly walked in with a telegram in his hand, and saluted Kenji Dohihara and Ryosuke Isoya abruptly: "Two generals, the 8th Brigade sent an urgent call for help, the Shina Army used the most elite Tiger Army to besiege the 8th Brigade, and the commander of the Lai Wu Brigade requested General Tohihara to support quickly!" ”

"Tiger Army?!" Isoya Ryosuke and Dohihara Kenji and others changed their faces when they heard this, and Isoya Ryosuke even collapsed on the chair with a dead face, and after hearing that the Tiger Army had entered the war, Isoya Ryosuke knew that the 8th Brigade was probably about to follow in the footsteps of the 33rd Brigade, and he, the commander of the 10th Division, was about to become a bare-bones commander.

Kenji Doihara's fat fat face twitched a few times, and then said to the communication staff officer: "Call back to the Lai Wu Brigade immediately and ask them to hold on for some more time, the reinforcements of my 14th Division will arrive soon!" ”

"Hay!" The communications staff officer bowed his head abruptly, and then turned around and hurried away.

After seeing the communications staff officer leave, Kenji Dohihara said to the chief of staff behind him, Sano Nakayoshio: "Sano-kun, immediately send a telegram to the 27th Brigade and the 28th Brigade, ordering them to attack with all their might, and within an hour they must break through the enemy in front of them and rush to the Nansha River to join the Laiwu Brigade. ”

"Hay!" Sano Nakayoshi bowed his head suddenly, and then took the saber and led the order.

…………………… On the Nansha River battlefield, more than 20,000 troops of the three divisions of the Tiger Ben Army launched a fierce attack on the 8th Brigade of the Yue Army under the full cover of the armored brigade. However, Li Yifeng and others scoffed at these, they had full confidence in their troops, and even without the assistance of the 20th Army Corps, they could completely annihilate the 8th Brigade.

In the final analysis, although Tang Enbo's Twentieth Army was large in number and much better equipped than other [***] miscellaneous armies, it was still too far behind the Tiger Army, and it was not even comparable to the equipment of the devils.

The individual equipment of the Tiger Ben Army is the semi-automatic Garand rifle and the MP38 submachine gun, which are far superior to the [***] Zhongzheng, Hanyang-made rifles and the 38 rifles of the Yue Army in terms of power and rate of fire.

In terms of machine guns, the Tiger Army is equipped with the most advanced, the most outstanding, the most effective and powerful MG34 general-purpose machine gun in the world, whether it is the Maxim heavy machine gun, the Type 92 heavy machine gun, or the Czech light machine gun and the crooked handle light machine gun, it cannot be compared.

In terms of artillery, the large-caliber howitzer group of the Tiger Ben Army is not enough to even look at the artillery wing directly under the division and regiment of the army, let alone the department of Tang Enbo.

More importantly, the Tiger Army had more than 200 No. 4 tanks and armored vehicles, and such armored assault forces were absolutely invincible in Chinese mainland at that time, especially in the flat North China Plain.

Under the cover of the armored brigade with extremely strong assault capabilities, the offensive of the Tiger Army was much faster and easier than that of the Townenburg Army.

The 8th Brigade had been fighting a fierce battle with tens of thousands of troops of the 20th Army of Tang Enbo for a long time, and its forward defensive position was hit by the powerful artillery fire of the Tiger Army, and the entire defense line had already been fragmented and vulnerable.

Subsequently, the infantry of the Tiger Ben Army who followed up took advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle and launched a fierce attack on the 8th Brigade on all fronts.

……………… Provisional Command of the 8th Brigade Regiment.

A bloodied devil Shaozuo rushed to the headquarters from the front line, and before he could close his feet, he said to Lai Wuping: "General, the position has been broken through by the Chinese army in many places, and the imperial army can't hold it." ”

"Yaga! Order the troops, resist with all their might, and be sure to block the attack of the Chinese army. Rao had been mentally prepared for such a result, but Lai Wuping was still very unwilling to roar.

"Hay!" The devil Shaozuo suddenly bowed his head in response, and then turned around and stumbled away.

Listening to the sound of guns and cannons around them getting closer and closer, Lai Wuping and Chongyue Miki's faces became more and more solemn, and after a long time, Lai Wuping said to Chongyue Miki: "Chongyue-kun, send a farewell message to the division commander." ”

"General......" Miki Shigetsu looked sad and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Empire! As soon as Chongyue Miki turned around, Lai Wuping shouted loudly, and then with a snort, Lai Wuping's pig-like voice stopped abruptly, and then with a bang, the whole person fell to the ground with a bang, and he was out of breath.

Chongyue Miki looked back at Lai Wuping, who had committed suicide by seppuku, with a sad face, and then turned around and strode away.

…………………… Xiji Town, Headquarters of the Twentieth Army Corps.

Tang Enbo was smoking, and the chief of staff hurriedly ran in, stood up and saluted Tang Enbo: "General seat, it's not good, Zheng Dongguo's 2nd Division reported that the 8th Brigade of the Yue Army was completely annihilated by the Tiger Ben Army in a battle. ”

"What? So quickly wiped out by the Tiger Army? Tang Enbo said in shock.

The chief of staff nodded with a gloomy face and said, "Yes, I never imagined that the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army would be so strong. ”

Tang Enbo was stunned for a while before waving his hand and said, "That's it, you don't have to blame yourself too much." The combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Army is so strong, it is really beyond imagination, but our army has been busy for a long time, which greatly consumes the sharpness of the 8th Brigade, and in turn makes Qiao Anbang's troops pick up a big bargain. ”

"Commander, the Tiger Ben Army is so strong in combat, but it does not repeatedly disobey the military orders of the commission, you should remind the commissioner to take precautions as early as possible to prevent it from becoming a major disaster for the party-state." The chief of staff rolled his eyes.

"I'll naturally report this to the commission." Tang Enbo nodded thoughtfully.
