Hefei, the headquarters of the Sixth Division of the Army.

Chief of Staff Shimono Ichihuo Dazuo walked into the division headquarters with a telegram in his hand and reported to Gu Shoufu: "Your Excellency Division Commander, the 13th Wing Nakano Dazuo reports that the 3rd Infantry Squadron of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 13th Infantry Wing has successfully captured Dingyuan County after fierce battles and crushed a division of the Chinese defenders in the city. ”

"What? An infantry squadron crushed a division in [***]? Also captured the county seat of Dingyuan? Gu Shoufu asked with a slight surprise when he heard this.

"Yes, Your Excellency the division commander, the Zhina army has no fighting spirit at all, and as soon as the imperial army charged, they retreated in a hurry, which is simply vulnerable!" Shimono Kazuho nodded and replied.

After hearing this, Gu Shoufu couldn't help but nod happily and said: "Yo Xi, it's a big drop, it's said that the imperial army of this empire is invincible, invincible, and my sixth division is the most elite first-class division of the imperial army, and only we can create such a miracle of attacking the fortification, immediately report this battle report to the front army headquarters, and at the same time send a message of commendation to the 13th Infantry Wing, hoping that they will make persistent efforts to make new contributions to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Hay!" Shimono Yihuo suddenly bowed his head in response, and then turned around with his saber on his shoulder and strode away.

…………………………

Pheasant and set, Longshan military camp, Tiger Ben army headquarters.

Qiao Anbang sat at the conference table nervously, anxiously waiting for the news from the Air Force, Liang Jiahan sat next to him very quietly, the big war was imminent, Qiao Anbang's whole person had changed, and he became extremely cold.

Suddenly, Yali walked out of the confidential room quickly, stood up and reported to Qiao Anbang: "Military seat, the flight regiment reports, the North China Army seems to have launched an attack on the garrison of the Fifth Theater, and at present, there are fierce battles in Linyi, Tengxian and other places, and the entire Lunan region is already full of wolf smoke and beacon fires. ”

"The devils really have a premeditated joint operation." Hearing this, Qiao Anbang got up, pondered for a moment, and then raised his head and said to Yali: "Immediately give an order to the flying regiment, and let Gao Xiang lead the entire air force to Linyi and Tengxian respectively to support the [***] operation!" Remember, help [***] resist the onslaught of the Yue army at all costs! ”

"Yes!" Yali nodded hurriedly in response, and then flashed into the confidential room.

After seeing Yali walk into the confidential room, Liang Jiahan, who was sitting next to Qiao Anbang, suddenly spoke: "Military seat, you have sent out the air force, how can we resist the attack of the Central China Army?" What if the air force of the Central China Army comes to bomb our base area? ”

"This is impossible, after the first few air raids, the air power of the Central China Army has been almost completely destroyed by the flying regiment, even if there is still some stock, the devil does not dare to take risks easily, after all, it is impossible for the army to know that the entire air force of our Tiger Army is dispatched!" Joan Bang's unequivocal way,

Liang Jiahan stuck out his tongue, obviously his worries were unnecessary.

Qiao Anbang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, muttered for a long time, and immediately said to Liang Jiahan: "You go and inform Yali immediately, and ask her to send a telegram to the Xuzhou Fifth Theater Command to ask about the size of the North Road Army!" ”

"Yes!" Liang Jiahan saw Qiao Anbang's solemn expression, immediately got up and answered, and immediately walked into the confidential room.

………………………………

Linyi Front.

The army used two divisions to launch a fierce onslaught on Lu Han's 60th Army and Feng Anbang's 42nd Army, and the officers and men of the 60th Army and the 42nd Army braved the fierce artillery fire of the devils to block the bloody attack, and fought with the devils repeatedly, and the battle situation was extremely tragic.

The greatest threat to the 60th Army and the 42nd Army was the planes of the 60th Army and the 42nd Army, and more than a dozen planes of the Army were unscrupulously circling and bombing over the [***] position, diving back and forth and strafing, and under the fierce blows of the combined firepower of the devils, the officers and men of the 60th Army and the 42nd Army suffered particularly heavy casualties.

On the outlying positions northwest of Linyi, a battalion of the 60th Army was ordered to be stationed here, the 60th Army was from the Yunnan Army, poorly equipped, and lacked training, but they did not lack the blood surname that the [***] people should have.

The battalion commander who guards a battalion here has changed five, and now the battalion commander is a deputy platoon commander, with more than 260 people in the battalion, and now there are less than 60 people left, and all of them are wounded.

Inside and outside the trenches, there are corpses of soldiers on both sides of the Chinese and Chinese sides everywhere, judging from the fact that many corpses are dead together, what a fierce white-knuckle battle happened here just now, and the devils even rushed into the trenches of the Yunnan army for a time, but in the end they were driven out by the heroic soldiers of the Yunnan army.

In a bomb crater, a [***] second lieutenant with gauze wrapped in his left eye is lying in the crater looking up at the sky, whether the gauze wrapping his left eye is penetrated by a touch of red, it looks particularly scary.

At this time, the [***] second lieutenant had forgotten the pain, and in his left eye was a mortar shrapnel, which was shot in when the devil attacked just now, and he fainted at that time, and when he woke up, the company commander on the position was gone, the deputy company commander was no more, several platoon commanders were also killed, and there were originally more than 100 people, but there were less than 60 people left.

After some inquiry, he himself was the highest-ranking person in this trench, without him, according to the pre-war order, this [***] second lieutenant, to be precise, a sergeant, automatically took over as the commander of the reading battalion of the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army.

The second lieutenant platoon commander looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: "Grandma, my son may not be able to go home, because my son is going to sacrifice his life for the country later, you help me tell Yama so that she doesn't have to wait for me......"

As soon as the second lieutenant's platoon commander's words fell, there was a sharp and piercing whistling sound in the sky: "I am ...... ......"

The second lieutenant platoon commander hurriedly got up, opened his throat and shouted: "Lie down, hide, all ...... hidden"

"Boom...... Rumble...... Rumble! The devil's shells exploded in an instant, and the entire Reading Battalion position was immediately plunged into a sea of fire, and the fierce artillery fire ploughed the entire Reading Battalion position and shook the ground, and the fire soared into the sky, and the second lieutenant platoon commander was blown down by the huge air wave and hurriedly lay down in the crater.

……………………

At the same time, in a small mountain village on the southwest border, a young and beautiful ethnic minority girl is helping an old lady who is over the age of sixteen to wash her feet, the old man looked at the girl in front of him, his kind eyes were full of joy, and he said while stroking the girl's soft hair: "When Ade comes back, I will let him marry you immediately, such a good daughter-in-law, I don't want to wait any longer." ”

"Grandma, Brother Ade is on the front line as a soldier and says that he will come back to marry me when he runs away." The girl's silver bell-like voice is so simple.

The old man nodded in satisfaction and stopped talking.

…………………………

The second lieutenant platoon commander staggered up from the crater, shook off the dirt on his body, and the second lieutenant platoon commander hurriedly lay down behind the bunker, and looked around, only to see hundreds of devil soldiers outside the position once again rushing up to their own position with the rifles of the bayonets that were dangling last time.

"Reading Camp! All ready to fight! The second lieutenant platoon commander took out a rifle and a bayonet from the mound, loaded the bayonet into the muzzle, and immediately opened his throat and shouted.

The remaining dozens of fighters began to mobilize, and all of them drew their broadswords or loaded their rifles with bayonets, and at this point their already modest ammunition had already been exhausted, so they could only fight the devils with bayonets.

Just when the second lieutenant platoon commander was about to take the lead in charging to meet the enemy, a piercing engine roar suddenly came from the sky behind him, and the second lieutenant platoon commander hurriedly turned his head, only to see that in the sky, dozens of planes painted with blue sky and white sky were roaring, flying directly over their heads, and swooping towards the ghost soldiers who were charging.

The next moment, those low-altitude dive-deep Chinese fighters began to fire one after another, and the on-board machine guns suddenly began to spit out hot and dazzling tongues of fire, and the ghost soldiers who were charging were shot and fell to the ground one after another, one after another like cutting straw.

The devil's attacking force was stunned at that time, and in the face of a sudden air strike, after losing nearly 100 people, the remaining devils cried and shouted to their mothers to turn around and run, and the Chinese fighters in the sky did not stop there, but rushed directly towards the sortie position of the army, and several dive Skatu bombers bombed the artillery positions of the devils, and in the blink of an eye, the devil's 75 mountain artillery group was completely destroyed.

The fighter planes strafed back and forth over the devil's position for about 10 minutes, killing the devil's blood like a river, and the corpses were piled up, and finally they turned around and returned to the ship without getting enough.

At this moment, the brigade [***] drove up from the rear and took over the position of the Reading Battalion, and by the time the second lieutenant platoon commander was carried down from the position, he had already died of exhaustion.

Yongsan Barracks, the headquarters of the Tiger Army.

Liang Jiahan walked out of the confidential room briskly and reported to Qiao Anbang: "Military seat, the Fifth Theater has called back, the North China Army has dispatched no less than 150,000 troops this time, and the troops have launched an attack on the garrison of the Fifth Theater in two ways, and the current situation is extremely urgent, Commander Bai Chongxi said in the telegram that he needs to transfer Li Pinxian's 11th Group Army and the 21st Group Army to Xuzhou, and he asks us to take over the defense of the 11th Group Army and block the Central China Army from going north!" ”

"Huh?" Qiao Anbang couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he heard this, it seems that this time the army is really bloody, 150,000 troops, this is definitely not what the current Fifth War Zone can compete with, if there is no Tiger Army to join, the Fifth War Zone will undoubtedly be defeated, but the current situation is that the Central China Front Army is also moving north, even if Bai Chongxi does not let himself defend Huainan, he will not be able to lead his troops north to Xuzhou, because the Tiger Army has to guard its own base.

It's just that in this way, Xuzhou will be in danger, and East China may also be lost.
