Zaozhuang, the former enemy headquarters of the 1st Division.

Outside, the artillery roared, and the shouts of killing shook the earth, and the attacking troops of the First Division were now charging at Zaozhuang under the cover of artillery and tank troops; outside the division headquarters, Li Yifeng, commander of the First Division, accompanied by several chiefs of staff, was holding binoculars to observe the battlefield situation.

Through the binoculars, Li Yifeng clearly saw that thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army attacked the city fortifications of the devils like a tide, and the devils trapped in the lonely city were also very tenacious, relying on the dilapidated city walls bombarded by the artillery of the Tiger Ben Army to resist desperately.

The dense rain of bullets on the entire battlefield shuttled back and forth like bright meteors, and soldiers on both sides were shot and fell from time to time.

Li Yifeng was watching in a daze, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him, and before he turned around, there was a report from the confidential staff officer behind him: "Division, military call from the military seat!" ”

"Huh?" Li Yifeng put down the binoculars in his hand, turned around and asked, "What are the instructions of the military seat?" ”

"The military seat ordered our department, at all costs, to capture Zaozhuang within three hours and annihilate the army in the city!" The confidential staff officer replied loudly.

"Three hours, at all costs?" Li Yifeng couldn't help but gasp, and immediately said: "Report to the military department, the first division will definitely complete the task on time!" ”

"Yes!" The confidential staff officer hurriedly stepped forward and immediately turned around and walked into the command headquarters.

Seeing that the staff officer was leaving, Li Yifeng turned his head and said to a correspondent behind him: "Xiao Li, go and call Lao Tzu for the sealing situation." ”

"Yes!" A communications soldier hurriedly stepped forward, answered loudly, and then took the order to walk away quickly.

By the time the regimental commander rushed from the front line to the headquarters of the first division, Li Yifeng had already turned around and walked into the division headquarters, where he was sitting on top of an ammunition box and smoking.

Feng immediately stepped forward and stood upright: "Master, are you looking for me?" ”

Li Yifeng took a puff of cigarette, looked at the situation of Feng Feng, who had been promoted to colonel of the National Revolutionary Army, and then slowly got up and said in a deep voice: "First regiment commander." ”

Before Li Yifeng finished speaking, Feng Shi stepped forward and said loudly: "Yes!" ”

"Just now, the military seat sent an urgent telegram, strictly ordering our troops to capture Zaozhuang within three hours at all costs. I'm thinking about whether to let you go on the first group or let the second group go on. Li Yifeng deliberately said in a deep voice.

"Master, don't joke with the lowly position, you have let the lowly position come, how can this task still give a group of rabbit cubs." Feng Qian hurriedly said: "You can rest assured that you will hand it over to me, you can't take Zaozhuang within three hours, and I will come to see you with my old Feng." ”

"Captain, that's what you said." Li Yifeng was overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he deliberately darkened his face and said: "If you can't take Zaozhuang, I will not only shoot you, but also take off the colonel's uniform on your body!" This military uniform is not for anyone to wear if they want to, only heroes deserve to wear it, and bears are not worthy! Do you understand? ”

"Yes! Humility understands that there is no bear in our group, all of them are heroes who stand up to the sky, and within three hours, a group will definitely take Zaozhuang and win glory for our first division! Feng Shi patted his chest and said loudly.

"Hmm!" Li Yifeng nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and said, "Get out, the artillery regiment and tank regiment directly under the division headquarters will fully cooperate with your attack." ”

"Thank you, Master!" Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then turned around and strode away.

…………………… At the same time, the former enemy headquarters of the 3rd Division of the Yicheng Front.

Since there is only one regiment left in the second division, the second division and the third division jointly formed a former enemy headquarters, and in the command headquarters, Li Jupeng, the commander of the third division, handed the telegram in his hand to Cao Er and the others with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the military seat has already given a death order, and we are limited to capture Yicheng at all costs within three hours and annihilate the 63rd Wing in the city." ”

"Shizuo, give us the main attack task this time, and I will definitely capture Yicheng within three hours!" Li Jupeng's voice fell, and Jiang Wei, the head of the third regiment, spoke first.

Before Li Jupeng could answer, Cao Er, the commander of the Second Division, who was standing next to him, said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Don't rob any of you in the main attack this time, I will personally lead the second division and the first regiment to serve as the main attack, no matter what, I will definitely capture Yicheng within three hours." ”

"Lao Cao." Li Jupeng just wanted to open his mouth to persuade.

Cao Er waved his hand and said coldly: "I have made up my mind, Lao Li, you don't need to persuade anymore." ”

Seeing that Cao Er's mind was resolute, Li Jupeng had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, the artillery regiment of my third division is also under your command to assist you in attacking." "There's no way, Cao Er's seniority in the Tiger Ben Army is much older than him Li Jupeng, even if he doesn't want Cao Er to take the lead, but Cao Er has made up his mind, and he has nothing to do.

"Well, thank you." Cao Er nodded, and immediately walked out of the former enemy headquarters with a regimental commander.

………………………… Outside Zaozhuang City, a group of sorties was on the position.

The commander of the regiment was shirtless and carrying an MP38 submachine gun in his hand, and was making the final mobilization of the officers and men of the regiment.

Carrying a submachine gun to seal the situation, he paced back and forth in front of the ranks of soldiers, his eyes swept over the officers and soldiers present from time to time, and then stopped, pointed to Zaozhuang on the opposite side and said: "Brothers, now the devil of Zaozhuang has become a turtle in the urn, just now the military seat and the division seat gave our regiment a death order, ordering us to capture Zaozhuang within three hours, I think that, we don't need three hours at all, one hour is enough to capture Zaozhuang, and capture the old nobleman of Segu Qi alive, right?" ”

"Capture Zaozhuang and capture Seya Kai alive!"

"Capture Zaozhuang and capture Seya Kai alive!"

"Capture Zaozhuang and capture Seya Kai alive!" Thousands of officers and soldiers of the regiment suddenly began to shout in unison, the sound was so loud that even the devils in the city were shocked, they thought that [***] was about to attack again, and began to prepare for battle in a panic.

Feng Guan waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers of the first regiment suddenly quieted down, Feng Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then opened his throat and said loudly: "Okay, brothers, there is a morale, the military order has been issued, from now on, all the officers and soldiers of my regiment below themselves should attack, attack, and attack again!" If you don't take Zaozhuang, no one is allowed to take a step back, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”

"If you don't go down to Zaozhuang, you will not retreat!"

"If you don't go down to Zaozhuang, you will not retreat!"

"If you don't go down to Zaozhuang, you will not retreat!"

Thousands of officers and men of the regiment shouted in unison again, and the sound was so loud that it could be clearly heard from far and near.

"Artillery regiment, fire the artillery, and hit Lao Tzu hard on his son of a bitch!" Feng Qing tore his throat and shouted loudly again.

Immediately afterwards, the artillery regiments, which had already been ready, began to fire one after another.

"Tom tom......... ............The muffled sound of the cannonball's ejection and the sharp and piercing whistling of the cannonballs piercing the sky began to sound one after another.

Feng Guo and all the officers and soldiers of the regiment looked up one after another, only to see that in the sky, clusters of scarlet fire dragged a long tail flame through the void and smashed towards the Zaozhuang military fortifications.

"Boom, boom............ Boom, boom, boom......" The cannonballs slammed down from the sky, and suddenly began to explode violently, and the earth-shaking explosion suddenly spread throughout Zaozhuang.

In the flash of fire, the stumps and broken arms of many devils rose into the sky together with billowing black smoke and fire, and the city wall, which had been devastated by the artillery fire of the first division, suddenly collapsed a large section, and more than a dozen wounded devils on the city head were suddenly buried alive in the ruins of the city wall.

Inside the castle, the headquarters of the Seya detachment.

Listening to the roaring artillery sound coming from outside the city again, the detachment leader Seya Kai couldn't help but tremble, he never thought that the artillery fire of the Tiger Ben Army surrounding them would be so powerful, and the several large-caliber artillery pieces equipped by his detachment were destroyed by the dense and fierce artillery fire of the Tiger Ben Army before they could return fire.

As for other small-caliber mountain artillery and field artillery, they can't compete with it at all, and the battle has been fought so far, and Seya Kai is already like ashes, and he can understand at this moment why he is as strong as the Ninth Division, the 13th Division, and the 114th Division, and why the nearly 100,000 troops of the three divisions were defeated by a mere Tiger Army.

Because the combat strength of the Tiger Ben Army is no less than the three divisions of the Imperial Army, not to mention one of its own detachments, even the entire 10th Division is difficult to defeat them here.

When Seya Kaizheng was frustrated, a staff officer hurriedly ran in, and saluted Seya Kai suddenly: "General, the commander of the Lai Wu Brigade has sent an urgent telegram, they have encountered the main force of the Tang Enbo Division of the China Army in the area of the Nansha River, and it is difficult to advance at present, but the 8th Brigade is desperately attacking, and the 14th Division is also coming from Jining. ”

"Got it." After hearing the news, Seya Kai's face was even more pale and bloodless, and he waved his hand to signal the communication staff officer to go down.

At this moment, the deafening sound of artillery outside the city finally stopped, and then a sea of shouts and angry curses erupted.

"Is the Chinese army going to attack again?" Seya Kai stood up with difficulty and said to the staff officer: "Prepare a farewell message, if our army can't block the front of the Chinese army, send the message!" ”

"Hay!" The devil staff officer suddenly bowed his head with a solemn expression, and immediately turned around and took the order.

………………………… Yicheng.

The two artillery regiments of the Third Division and the Second Division formed a huge heavy artillery group and began to launch the most fierce artillery bombardment against the 63rd Wing of the Yue Army, which was trapped in Yicheng.

Behind him are hundreds of commandos of the second division and one regiment, this attack, Cao Er plans to personally lead the assault team to take the lead in the attack, if nothing else, just because he is the commander of the second division, with the division commander to take the lead in the charge, the first soldier, the soldiers under his command will definitely go all out and fight to the death! This is the best and most useful way to motivate a warrior.
