Nanping Town, the 3rd Armored Regiment of the Huben Army and the 1st Regiment of the 5th Infantry Division and the 31st Division of Chifeng City are jointly commanded.

Zhang Xudong, commander of the armored brigade, Liang Haoyao, chief of staff of the Fifth Division, and Chi Fengcheng were gathering in front of the map to discuss the military situation.

Facing the inquiring eyes of the three people, Tian Jin couldn't stand up and salute and immediately said: "The scout reported that the devils in Suxian County have been dispatched, with about two brigades, and they are heading towards us. ”

Zhang Xudong and Liang Haoyao glanced at each other and said, "Chief of Staff Liang, Division Commander Chi, the purpose of the army in Suxian County is very clear, it must be to rescue the main force of their division!" ”

Chi Fengcheng and Liang Haoyao both nodded in agreement, Chi Fengcheng took a puff of cigarette and asked, "What good ideas does Brigade Commander Zhang have about this?" ”

"The devil only has two infantry brigades, and we have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, I suggest that I take my third armored regiment as the forerunner, take the initiative to attack, launch an attack on the Yue army, first kill the two infantry brigades of the Yue army out of the city, and then concentrate all our forces to attack Su County and recapture this strategic place!" Zhang Xudong confidently pointed to the map and said to the two. In the field, against the devil infantry, Zhang Xudong had full confidence.

"Hmm!" Chi Fengcheng nodded approvingly and said: "Brigade Commander Zhang's idea is good, as long as we recapture Suxian County and reclose the northeast gate of northern Anhui, we can completely block the retreat of the 20th Division of the Yue Army, and at that time, it will only be a matter of time before they are completely annihilated." ”

"But did we first send a message to the military seat for instructions? After all, the order given to us by the military seat is to stay on standby. Liang Haoyao said with some concern.

"Okay, I'll go and generate electricity for the military seat." After Zhang Xudong finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the confidential room, Liang Haoyao naturally had no objection to this, in terms of qualifications, Zhang Xudong was the veteran of the Tiger Army, although his position was the chief of staff of the division, but he was also slightly inferior in front of Zhang Xudong.

…………………………………… On the highway from Qingtong Town to Su County, Qiao Anbang was leading the special operations battalion to march north, and when passing by Qingtong, the officers and soldiers of the special operations battalion accidentally captured three female soldiers, and when Qiao Anbang saw them, he found that these three people were Kawashima Yoshiko and Nanzao Yunzi and others who he deliberately let go.

It turned out that when Yoshiko Kawashima and Nanzo Yunzi learned that the 20th Division was besieged, they were cunning and knew that they couldn't argue, so they took advantage of the chaos to quietly break away from the headquarters of the 20th Division, but they were unlucky, when they evaded the pursuit of the Tiger Ben Army to the area of Qingtong, they met the special operations battalion that followed Qiao Anbang.

In front of the special operations battalion, it was naturally impossible for the three cunning female spies to escape, so they became prisoners of the Tiger Ben Army again.

Qiao Anbang didn't have time to deal with the three of them, so he wanted to kill them, but he thought that the two of them were senior agents of Yuben, and they might still be of some use to the future development of the Tiger Army, so he would temporarily take them into custody and advance with the army.

Sitting in the armored command car, Qiao Anbang's mood is rare to relax, since the loss of Xuzhou, Qiao Anbang has always been worried, restless and restless, now the annihilation of the 20th Division is in front of him, as long as the 20th Division is annihilated, he can lead the victorious troops to the north to counterattack Xuzhou in one go, forcing the Xiangcheng front line of the army to join Xuzhou, or meet the 6th and 7th divisions of Xiangcheng under the cover of the air force to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against the army, with four divisions, one guard regiment and three armored regiments, Qiao Anbang was confident that he would defeat the 5th, 108th, and 109th divisions head-on.

After thwarting the attack of the Northern Route Army, if the Central China Army, which had blocked the logistical supply line by the Huben Army and the New Fourth Army, did not want to repeat the mistakes of the North China Front, then they could only obediently withdraw from Huainan and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.

While the armored car was moving, the wireless walkie-talkie installed in front of Qiao Anbang's seat suddenly rang, and the voice of a communications soldier came out of the walkie-talkie: "Military seat, Zhang Xudong called, the Su County Army has been dispatched, after discussion between Zhang, Liang, and Chi, the three people decided to take the initiative to attack, meet the Yue Army, and recapture Su County. ”

"Su County?" Qiao Anbang groaned slightly: "The troops that Ushijima often stays in Suxian County to support an infantry wing, and they dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to rescue with this amount of troops?!" Said this: "I didn't say it, call back to Zhang, Liang, and Chi to approve their actions, and tell them that it is best to use a part of the troops to drag the main force of the Yue army out of the city, and then the main force will directly attack Su County, first take Su County, and then gather and annihilate the devil reinforcements out of the city." ”

"Yes!" The communications soldier replied loudly.

…………………………………………………… Beiping, the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

In the study of the temple Shouichi, two women in kimonos are carefully making tea, one of the women picked up a small cup of freshly brewed tea and respectfully handed it to the temple Shouichi who was sitting in the first place, the temple took the teacup, first sniffed, and then took a leisurely sip, and couldn't help nodding and praised: "Yo Xi, good tea." ”

About an hour or two earlier, he had received a good news from the commander of the 20th Division, Ushijima Minoru, who had sent a telegram saying that he had arrived at the base camp of the Tiger Army.

What does this mean by this success? It means that the Tiger Army, which had brought heavy losses and great humiliation to the Imperial Army, was about to be wiped out, as the commander-in-chief of the North China Front of the Great Imperial Army, how could Terauchi Shouichi not be happy?

After a while, Terauchi Shouichi's gaze began to wander on the two women, who were handsome, fair-skinned, and irresistibly seductive despite being wrapped in loose kimonos.

Suddenly, one of Terauchi Shouichi's big hands had climbed the towering Jade Girl Peak on the chest of one of the women, probably feeling uncomfortable through the kimono, Terauchi Shouichi domineeringly poked his hand into the woman's loose neckline, and the snow-white and firm pepper milk kept changing shape in his hand.

As Shouichi in the temple rubbed, the woman began to moan involuntarily, and her originally clear eyes began to gradually become blurred.

Just as Shouichi Terauchi dragged the woman into his arms and was about to tear her clothes and give birth, a rush of footsteps sounded in vain from outside the study.

Terauchi Shouichi stopped the movements of his subordinates, looked up and saw that his chief of staff, Okabe Naosaburo, had already strode in, Okabe Naosaburo looked at the disheveled woman in Terauchi Shouichi's arms, and then saluted Terauchi Shouichi abruptly: "General, the 20th Division is in an emergency!" ”

"Huh?" Seeing that Okabe Naosaburo's face was a little solemn, a bad omen suddenly welled up in Terauchi Shouyi's heart, and he pushed the woman in his arms over at the moment, Huo Ran got up and said, "Read!" ”

"The 20th Division is in an emergency, because Yoshiko Kawashima and Nanzo Yunzi and Sakurako betrayed the Great Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor, provided wrong information to our department, and lured our department into the trap of the Tiger Army, and now our department has fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Tiger Army, there is a strong enemy in front, and there are pursuing soldiers in the rear, the situation is extremely urgent, please send a telegram to your Excellency Commander to order all the divisions and regiments in your neighbors to come to reinforcements, and the lowly general will lead all the warriors of the 20th Division to stick to the spot and wait for reinforcements!" Naosaburo Okabe opened the message in his hand and read it quickly.

"What? The 20th Division was surrounded by the Tiger Army? "Terauchi Shouichi's face is incredulous, not long ago he also received a telegram from Ushijima Shichang, why is it only two hours, from the good news to the telegram for help?

"Yes, General." Naosaburo Okabe replied with a silent nod.

After getting the shortage of Okabe Naosaburo, Terauchi Shouichi's face suddenly changed, and he asked angrily: "Ushijima Minoru is a fool, with the strength of one of his divisions, why didn't he take the initiative to break through?" Instead, stick to the spot and wait for help? Could it be that his division alone could not break through the blocking line of the Tiger Army? "General, please don't forget that the enemy they are facing is the most powerful Tiger Army of the Chinese Army, and the commander of this army is a ruthless, unscrupulous cold-blooded soldier who has not achieved his goal, since he has set this trap, he must be sure to eat the 20th Division. It must be known that the air force and ground armored forces of the Tiger Army are very strong, and it is reasonable that the 20th Division is under enemy attack on all sides, and it is difficult to break through. Naosaburo Okabe analyzed.

"Bagaya Road, is it possible that the 20th Division will follow in the footsteps of the 10th Division?" As soon as Terauchi Shou thought of the 10th Division that was eaten by the Tiger Ben Army during the last Battle of Xuzhou, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back.

After pondering for a moment, Terauchi Shouichi immediately said: "Okabe-kun, immediately send a telegram to the 5th Division, the 108th and 109th Divisions, and the 10th Division, so that they must break through the enemy's defense line before today's fall, rush to the aid of the 20th Division, and never let the 20th Division follow in the footsteps of the 10th Division." In addition, send a telegram to Tokugawa Yoshitoshi and order him to immediately send fighters to support the 20th Division! ”

"Hay!" Okabe Naosaburo bowed his head abruptly, then turned around and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.

………………………………………………………… Qingdao Airport, the headquarters of the Aviation Flying Corps directly under the North China Front Army.

Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, the current commander of the Flying Corps, was teaching his subordinates knowledge and experience in the airport building, when suddenly, a communications soldier hurriedly ran towards Tokukawa Yoshitoshi, and when he came to him, he suddenly closed his feet and saluted and reported to Tokukawa Yoshitoshi: "General, the front army headquarters is calling!" ”

"Read!" Tokugawa waved his hand.

The devil's signal soldier immediately read into the telegram: "In view of the fact that the 20th Division was heavily surrounded by the Chinese Army in northern Anhui, the headquarters ordered our division to immediately dispatch fighters to reinforce the 20th Division. ”

"Bagaya Road, the painful lesson of the last Xiangcheng air battle is vivid, and now dispatching fighters is tantamount to death! I will not allow you Empire's best pilots to die in vain! Tokugawa was furious when he heard this, and then said: "Signal soldier, immediately call back to the commander of the temple, saying that our unit has suffered heavy losses in the last air battle and is unable to participate in the war again. ”
