The station was shrouded in the smoke of the war, and the shells tore a huge hole in the lime, and in the smoke of the smoke, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army began to advance rapidly.

"Dah. Click. Click. "The Heavy appeared in the lurking fortress and took the lives of a large platoon of spearheads.

In a temporary underground fortification not far from the station, Seishiro Itagaki was holding a telescope in his hand to observe the resistance in the station, and the commanders of the 1st Division and the 9th Division were also silently observing.

The cannon fire stopped, and the red stream of people appeared in the telescope, in the form of small teams, pounced on the yellow flow, and the Empire's offensive was stopped again.

Itagaki Seishiro's face was extremely ugly, this fortification composed of stations had stopped him for seven whole days, and the second division, which had always been silent and capable of fighting well, attacked twelve times in a row, but none of them succeeded. According to the calculations of the empire, without Zhang Zuolin's support, their artillery would have been out of shells a long time ago, but what was going on with their occasional cannon sounds, and how did the opposing National Revolutionary Army survive. Why, the scum-like army of China can stop their attack.

"Ueda-kun, let's organize the thirteenth attack." Itagaki Seishiro regretfully put down the binoculars in his hand and forcibly suppressed his hatred for Liu Yuan, at this moment he had to take Rehe no matter what, in order to avenge the second division's one-arrow revenge.

Also as a lieutenant general of the Japanese Empire, Ueda Kenkichi was very unconvinced of the leadership of Itagaki, but he didn't have anything to do.

Kenkichi Ueda reprimanded Matsushima Kiya, the captain of the Seventh Wing, "Osa, I want you to take the station no matter what, and I don't want to see the 14th attack." ”

"Hay." Matsushima bowed and went to direct the battle.

The departure of the two divisions from Shenyang has been very smooth, even if the people of China resisted, but the empire still came all the way, but all this changed dramatically after reaching Nanling, and the commander of the opposite branch set up a huge fortification group with Nanling Station as the center, relying on the topography of Nanling. This Nanling didn't seem to have any risks, but after attacking here for seven days, Itagaki Seishiro knew very well that the opposite side was simply a life-devouring demonic beast.

Itagaki Seishiro knows very well that Liu Yuan is a master of strategy, and compared with him in strategy, he is definitely the gap between children and adults, so he has to defeat Liu Yuan tactically, especially Liu Yuan has no elite troops under his hands.

But Itagaki Seishiro didn't expect that there were a large number of elite troops under Liu Yuan hidden in the Northeast Army, otherwise the second division would not be completely shattered.

At the same time, what Itagaki Seishiro didn't expect was that even Rehe Province, which had been unable to resist for a while ago, began to break out strong resistance, and the commander on the opposite side was definitely a master tactician in defensive warfare, but now he didn't even know the name of the person.

Seishiro Itagaki laughed secretly in his heart, damn the Shina, aren't you very good at defense? Then we will take your Chahar Province, in fact, he has always done this, the first division has crossed the Great Khing'an Mountains to attack Chahar, and then attack the flank of the defenders defending Rehe, hoping to use tactical means and long-distance detour tactics to defeat the defensive strength in front of Beiping in one fell swoop.

In accordance with this tactical need, the Ninth Division, which was attacking frontally, attracted a large amount of strength from the Chinese defenders and created conditions for the attack of the First Division.

Now the 9th Division is facing stubborn resistance from the Chinese defenders at Nanling, and the Chinese side has no intention of supporting Nanling at all, which means that Itagaki's tactics have not been realized at all, which is why Seishiro Itagaki is so anxious.

A quarter of an hour later, the attacking Japanese troops withdrew again, and the wing commander Matsushima was carried back from the front line on a stretcher by the soldiers, Matsushima cried and begged Itagaki Seishiro to give him a chance, but Itagaki Seishiro glanced at Ueda Kenkichi and rejected him.

The rumbling sound of the cannon reminded me again, and the entire station seemed to be collapsing, but this crumbling gave the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians a kind of exhilarating strength.

In the very center of the station, Hu Lian, the commander of the student army, was wearing a shabby military coat and closing his eyes to recuperate, with chapped lips and thick bags under his eyes, all proving that the general was very tired now, and he really needed to rest.

The operational staff officer stood aside and read the telegram, "Today, the No. 1 position, the 17th Division and the 8th Regiment have lost 1,500 people, more than half of the losses, and they have no combat capability, and the No. 3 position, the 18th Division, has lost 2,000 people, and has completely lost its combat effectiveness, plus the 5,000 people we lost some time ago, we have lost a total of more than 8,000 people." ”

"Is there any news from headquarters?" The voice was not sad or happy, Hu Lian opened his eyes, there was no killing intent like a long-standing battlefield general, but a kind of mystery, which made people incomprehensible.

"The commander-in-chief personally sent a telegram that he was now setting up an ambush with Hu Zongnan's army and Wei Lihuang's division to attack the Japanese First Division in the vicinity of the Daxing'an Mountains." The combat staff officer whispered.

Hearing the words of the combat staff officer, Hu Lian's eyes showed a rare pity, he felt sorry for these young college students to arrive, and he was even thinking about whether it was worth it for the commander-in-chief to change his strategic plan because of Jinwu's intelligence.

"Recruit student backbones from various units to replenish them, remember to ensure that each platoon has at least five or more special forces or veterans, and don't let the original troops withdraw, they have been in the fortifications for so long and are familiar with it." The more Hu Lian said that the more painful his heart became, and if he fought for a few more days, then his army composed of college students would completely disappear from the stage of history.

After listening to Hu Lian's order, the combat staff officer did not leave, but looked at Hu Lian hesitantly.

"If you have something to say, it's not that I can't listen to opinions." Hu Lian said directly.

"Senior, I don't mean anything else, the military situation has reached this point, I think we should ask for aircraft support." This time, the operational staff officer advised Hu Lian as a junior.

Hu Lian took a telescope from the observation hole of the headquarters to observe the offensive of the Ninth Division, shook his head and said, "The Ninth Division doesn't have many shells left, and it's a pity to spend the bombs of the aircraft on them." However, we can request support from headquarters. ”

"Report, call back from headquarters." The confidential staff officer quickly walked to Hu Lian's side, Hu Lian couldn't help but praise in his heart, his commander-in-chief is amazing, the telegram reply never lasted more than five minutes, the combat staff officer handed it to Hu Lian, and Hu Lian took it in his hand and studied it carefully.

"I have now led the Central Army to the troops, and cooperated with the Jin Army led by General Fu Zuoyi to break the Japanese army's purpose of trying to detour to the rear of our army, and at the same time waiting for the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the first division.
