Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Encirclement of the Fifth Division

In the headquarters of the army, a group of officers were very busy, some running back and forth, exchanging the latest information with each other, while others stood in front of the signal corps, sending telegrams quickly.

What was different from the past was that the Huaxia Army, which appeared behind the Fifth Division at this time, finally attracted their attention. To be exact, they should have to pay attention to the fact that the tanks of the two squadrons, a full eighteen tanks, were just a glimpse of being cleaned up by the other party.

And there is no way to fight back, your own shells obviously hit the opponent, but the other party seems to be nothing, move and move, fire the cannon that should fire, and even the speed of movement is not slow down by half a minute.

"Can anyone tell me which unit is behind us?" Itagaki Seishiro had a long face, he was very unhappy, and a tank cluster appeared inexplicably, which caught his troops off guard, and the most terrible thing was that no one knew the number of this unit.

"Division commander, judging from our current speculation, the other party is the Ninety-ninth Army, which has disappeared for a few months, and the likely surname is relatively large." A staff officer replied with his head bowed.

"Baga, go and ask those idiots of Tegaoko, who is the enemy in front of us, and where did they get such advanced tanks? Why haven't we received any information? Seishiro Itagaki slapped the table angrily, he had to be angry, because Tegaoke's intelligence mistake was about to lead to heavy casualties in the Fifth Division.

Itagaki Seishiro doesn't want to be the first person to eat peaches, he has never failed from the Northeast Incident a few years ago to the present, if he loses here today, Itagaki Seishiro's face is really a little unbearable. After thinking of this, Seishiro Itagaki's face became more and more ugly, and he could only look at the map in annoyance while actively thinking about countermeasures.

"Yaga, where did the enemy army come from? Is this it? Is it really the Ninety-ninth Army? Seishiro Itagaki pointed to the mountains and forests northwest of Linyi on the map, and muttered to himself. Thinking of the Ninety-ninth Army, which had just disappeared from Linyi a few months ago, Itagaki couldn't help but feel a cold sweat rise on his head.

Judging from the map, it is very likely that the enemy troops came from somewhere, but the naval aviation over there has already reconnoitred many times, and they have also sent a small force to reconnoitre, and the people in it are sparsely populated, the roads are impassable, and there is no trace of the enemy army at all.

If this were not the case, Seishiro Itagaki would not have been separated from the Isoya Division, and he would definitely settle the Huaxia army hidden in the mountains and forests before proceeding to the following battle.

"Report to the division commander, the Isoya Division sent a telegram saying that there are about 30,000 enemy army units around our division." After translating the telegram he had just received, the communications corps immediately reported.

"Nani?" Itagaki Seishiro's eyes widened in disbelief, there would really be a large army of Huaxia ambushed here.

Seishiro Itagaki, who was still a little underestimated, had no choice but to face this sudden change with a twelve-point spirit. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally made a decision.

"Miura-kun, your brigade will leave a wing to keep an eye on Pang Bingxun's troops in Linyi City, don't let them go out of the city to participate in the battle, and the rest of the troops will defeat the invading enemy army first." Seishiro Itagaki quickly issued the latest combat orders, and the more than 30,000 troops, even the first-class troops, were vulnerable in front of the Fifth Division.

Of course, in order to prevent an unexpected situation, the old devil of Itagaki still decided to gather superior forces, instantly defeat the invading enemy army, and then eliminate Pang Bingxun's troops in one force.

"Hey!" After Toshiyoshi Miura received the order, he turned around and went directly to deploy the latest combat arrangements.

"Seat, the armored forces have solved the anti-tank positions and armored units of the army, and the follow-up infantry is moving forward, and it is expected that there will be an exchange of fire in five minutes." In the headquarters of the 766th Division, Liu Sanpao reported to Su Dao, who was sitting in the 766th Division.

"Well, how are the armored forces doing?" It is normal to defeat the Yue army, if the 75 T-34s can't get rid of the Yue army's troops, it is estimated that Su Dao will directly withdraw the officers of the entire armored corps.

"The performance is very good, if you want to be more energetic, you can have as much energy as you want, one of our tanks was beaten by the little devil as soon as it went up, I originally thought it wouldn't work, who knew that the tank actually stood there as a battery, killed the little devil two anti-tank positions and a tank, and he was hit by three shells as if he was nothing." Liu Sanpao was foaming at the mouth and said excitedly, as if that person was him.

Su Dao nodded secretly, the tank can continue to fire when it is lying down, the reason is very simple, it is estimated that the army's first shot broke the tank's track, causing the tank to be unable to move, and had to stay in place as a fixed battery. There was still no damage in the body with three guns, which had to make Su Dao very excited, at least this has proved that among so many tanks, Su Dao was right to choose the T-34.

However, soon, Su Dao also realized another very serious problem, once his own tank broke down on the battlefield, whether the track was broken, or for other reasons, in the face of his own Type 95 tank, it could naturally be used as a battery, but what if it was other powerful opponents?

Once encountering a strong opponent, the tank chooses to stay inside the tank instead of abandoning the car and running away, which is unacceptable, and once the soldiers have this idea in their hearts, it will be fatal. Su Dao is not short of tanks, he lacks excellent soldiers, so when faced with the choice between equipment and soldiers, he will obviously choose the latter.

Without a good soldier, it will not be able to exert its surname in powerful equipment. There is also the fact that the tank can only stay where it is when it fails, and now the 99th Army has not developed a sense of tank battlefield maintenance at all, of course, there is also Su Dao's sake, and he forgot to exchange the battlefield maintenance vehicle when he exchanged the tank.

And each tank comes with a track and two pairs of load-bearing wheels can only lie quietly in the warehouse, Su Dao didn't realize that the army can make his tank lie down, but now he sees this shortcoming, and there are no casualties, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Su Dao. It seems that it is necessary to quickly get a few battlefield maintenance vehicles so that the tank can be repaired in time during the battle.

A small problem like a track being blown off is not a big deal at all, but this kind of problem that seems small, or even a problem that can be solved in ten minutes, is fatal on the battlefield.

"Let the infantry be safe, and remember that it is better to knock out a bunker with a shell than to save a bullet with a soldier's life." After thinking clearly about the problem, Su Dao continued to command.
