After receiving the secret order from Seishiro Itagaki, the 3rd Mixed Mechanized Brigade immediately rushed to the aid and launched an overwhelming counterattack against Sun Liren's mechanized brigade with tanks as the lead. Seishiro Itagaki said in a telegram that he wanted to let the Chinese see what the torrent of steel is.

The first large-scale confrontation of mechanized troops in Chinese history took place in an ancient Chinese city called Linyi.

Sun Liren had long expected that the Japanese army was likely to counterattack with mechanized troops, so before coming, a large number of 37 anti-aircraft guns and RPGs were brought to Hejinhan, and a shameless trap was prepared on a narrow mountain road.

As soon as the Japanese armored units passed by, they encountered a massive fire cover, and the Japanese tank brigade was wiped out in an instant on the mountain road.

The tank brigade was knocked out in an instant, so that the brigade commander of the mixed mechanized third brigade, Kumiji Nohara, had no ability to counterattack at all.

In the world of Nohara Kumaji, tanks should have been fighting with tanks, but the damned Shina people shamelessly ambushed a large number of anti-aircraft guns and their bazookas, causing him huge losses.

In the artillery fire, the Japanese army suffered huge losses, and the Japanese army suffered a great loss. Sun Liren sent his own tanks and began shelling the mechanized units of the Japanese army.

Sun Liren felt that the iron shell of the Japanese army was really bad, and it couldn't affect himself too much. The mechanized brigade drew one and a half reinforced regiments and launched a frantic attack on the rear of Daiwang Mountain.

Daiwang Mountain is a part of the Yimeng Mountain System, a strategic place near Linyi City, and also a high ground, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Sun Liren's brigade, Wang Zhonglian's 85th Army, and Zhang Zhen's division launched an attack on Daiwang Mountain from many sides, and the mixed mechanized brigade was also caught in the trap of Chinese troops.

The Chinese troops besieged Daiwang Mountain from all sides, and the control area of the Ninth Division became smaller and smaller, especially Sun Liren, who was a newly formed unit, and the desire to make meritorious contributions was also the strongest.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the reinforced regiment sent by Sun Liren completely annihilated the Japanese Sakata Brigade and successively conquered Wangjiazhuang and Zhangjiadun in Daiwang Mountain. Two Japanese brigades were crushed, and the reinforced regiment rushed into Daiwang Mountain.

In the face of the onslaught of mechanized troops, the situation on the Eastern Front was extremely dangerous, and the commander of the 9th Division understood that a brigade would be drawn to reinforce the Eastern Front.

At the same time, a telegram was again sent to Itagaki Seishiro asking for support, but the telegram had not yet reached Itagaki Seishiro, and the 85th Army was once again making progress on the front.

Wang Zhonglian personally led the team to conquer Xuzhuang and Jade Emperor Temple, which caused even heavier pressure on the Ninth Division.

It was not completely dark, and the situation of the Ninth Brigade was already very bad, and at this time, the Ninth Brigade did not dare to wait for Itagaki Seishiro, leaving a wing to defend the most powerful mechanized troops of Sun Liren.

Most of the 9th Division, under the leadership of the brigade commander, attempted to break out of the encirclement, and at the same time converged with the 3rd Brigade and escaped from the encirclement.

Sun Liren is also a top student who graduated from West Point, and looking at the changes in the strength of the map on the map, he felt the changes in the battlefield for the first time.

Immediately commanded the troops, and carried out a large encirclement of the troops left on the defensive. After Wang Zhonglian heard Sun Liren's telegram to him, he almost died of anger and scolded the Japanese for not being disciplined.

While commanding the troops to chase after him overnight, he sent a telegram to Liu Yuan at the same time.

After Liu Yuan heard Wang Zhonglian's telegram, he smiled, this little devil still wants to run. Tang Enbo did not wait for Liu Yuan to give an order, so he gave Zhang Zhen an order, asking them to cooperate with Sun Liren's troops and close the door to the Japanese army's escape. The Ninth Brigade must be completely annihilated, so that the little devil will become a turtle in the urn.

By the time the war had begun, everyone was so tired that it was almost the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Liu Yuan didn't expect the war to go so smoothly, and in the attack some time ago, Seishiro Itagaki beat them like a hook.

In the southern battlefield, Wuhu counterattacked, Nie Rongzhen had so many troops to surround the main force of the Japanese army, so many troops cooperated, and they all let them run, Gu Shoufu commanded not his own troops at all, and he just couldn't annihilate them, which made Liu Yuan feel very distressed.

In Liu Yuan's view, the combat effectiveness of the Southwest Army is decisively much stronger than that of the Central Army, but today's war has only lasted one day, and it has beaten enough of a brigade of the Japanese army, and there is also a mechanized mixed brigade with very good combat effectiveness.

"The sun of the Japanese army at twelve o'clock at noon has reached fourteen o'clock, although the heat is infiltrating, but it has begun to decline." Liu Yuan handed the telegram to Tang Enbo and continued, "This Ninth Brigade is much worse than the Japanese army in the southern battlefield. ”

Tang Enbo kept shaking his head on the side, he had never been to the southern battlefield, he didn't have a very strong feeling, in his opinion, the Japanese army was still very strong, and the will to fight was extremely tenacious, otherwise how could it break through their defense line? And when the little devil's death squad carried a strip of white cloth and carried a bag of explosives to his death, he did not hesitate at all, which made him rush to great fear. So he felt that there must be an external reason for the rapid collapse of this brigade.

"Telegraph to Sun Liren, don't just focus on the front of you in the war, people will throw the bones and pounce on them, don't let the Ninth Brigade run away for me." Liu Yuan said to Li An.

Although Liao Yaoxiang is not a mechanized army, their troops are also warlike troops, after all, he has also trained in Lushan for a long time.

After he entered the battlefield, he quickly blocked the attack of the 16th Division with his strong combat effectiveness, and Hu Lian was a person with bad ideas. In the past, I didn't have enough strength and couldn't do anything.

Now that Liao Yaoxiang has entered the battlefield, naturally he can't let the little devil continue to bully, Hu Lian personally found Liao Yaoxiang, Liao Yaoxiang thanked Liu Yuan for his cultivation, and naturally would not object to Hu Lian's request to obtain front-line command.

After Hu Lian took command, he immediately launched a large-scale counterattack in Qixia.

Itagaki Seishiro personally commanded the troops to launch a fierce attack on Yu Chengwan's division, but at this time, two brigades in his back again launched a strong attack behind him.

One of these two brigades was killed in Linyi, and there were 10,000 resentments against Itagaki Seishiro, and naturally the combat effectiveness soared, making Itagaki Seishiro's life even more sad.

More and more troops began to come into contact with Itagaki Seishiro, which made Itagaki Seishiro feel that the defense he had set up was simply full of holes, and more and more Chinese troops began to fight with him, and he could not defend at all.

What Itagaki Seishiro couldn't accept the most, Tang Enbo actually led the troops into the battlefield in person and came to fight with him.

Liu Yuan's task to Tang Enbo was to block Itagaki's reinforcements and ensure the safety of the large army on the Hedong battlefield, but how could he be a supporting role as the commander of Tang Enbo's army?
