Looking at the US prisoners who were passing by the command vehicle and could not see the end at a glance, Yu Dalong gave Pan Guochen a thumbs up: "Well done, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I caught so many prisoners in an hour, more than the whole army caught before-this first Blue Dragon Medal is for you!" ”

Pan Guochen pinched the chariot cap in his hand and glanced at the map: "The commander has praised - I don't know what the commander plans to do next?" ”

Yu Dalong patted the map table and motioned for the generals to come closer.

"You see, according to the report just made by Brigade Commander Pan and the briefing of the naval planes, it can basically be determined that a sizable group of enemy heavy troops is now gathering in the farm area between the Ford River and the Pearl River, and it can retreat back into Pearl City, echo the enemy on the Eva side to the west, and take care of the enemy on the Honolulu side to the east. Our task is to divide and surround the enemy, and to break through each one, so we must take advantage of the fact that the enemy in front of us will converge with the enemy on the Eva and Honolulu sides or retreat to the city of Pearl City to hold on, and annihilate or defeat them with a resolute and powerful assault, so as to seize the city of Pearl in one fell swoop, divide the defending enemy in the middle, and determine the overall situation for the overall goal of suppressing the whole island in three days. ”

"To this end, I plan to divide the army into five routes, divide them into joint attacks, and solve the problem before and after dark."

"Scott."

"In!"

Scott, who had fulfilled Yu Dalong's orders in the battle to conquer Wayami, was the first to be named this time.

"You take a mechanized infantry battalion of your 12th Brigade, a tank battalion of the 2nd Brigade and a self-propelled howitzer company of the Artillery Brigade to march north-west along the north bank of the Ford River to seize the West Bridge, the key pass leading to Eva in Pearl City, and deploy defenses along both sides of the river to cut off the connection between Eva's enemies and the Pearl City side."

"Yes." Scott high-fived him with confidence.

"Lin Taiping."

"In!"

Lin Taiping and Yu Dalong, who had double tricks, served under Shen Xingyi, who was then the commander of the Second Marine Regiment as early as the First Sino-Japanese War, when Lin Taiping was the commander of the regimental guard company, Yu Dalong was the commander of the third battalion, and now Shen Xingyi's chief of staff Li Wei was the commander of the first battalion at that time, and Zhong Tiannai, the commander of the first cover group and the commander of the first Marine Division, was the commander of a company under Li Wei. (See Chapters 31-32 of Part 1 for details.)

At that time, who would have thought that 20 years later, the cadres of the same team in the past could gallop and fight together on the same battlefield - the so-called fate is what it is.

Even in the face of his old comrades-in-arms, Yu Dalong, as a commander, gave an order unambiguously, the old friendship returned to the old friendship, the battlefield returned to the battlefield, and at the critical moment, he couldn't talk about so much affection.

"You take a mechanized infantry battalion of your 11th Brigade, a tank battalion of the attached 1st Brigade, a self-propelled howitzer company of the artillery brigade, and a mechanized boat bridge company of the 2nd Battalion of the Outer Processing Corps, turn left after crossing the Ford Bridge, and cross the Pearl River from here, the No. 1 crossing point upstream of the Pearl Bridge, and lay a double-sided defensive line between the river bank and the coast, cutting off the connection between Honolulu and Pearl City."

"Understood—"

"Huang Zhifeng."

Huang Zhifeng, who had just made a contribution to the lightning capture of Haleiwa, reflexively straightened his chest: "In!" ”

"Take you with a tank battalion of the 2nd Brigade attached to a machine infantry battalion of the 12th Brigade and a self-propelled howitzer company of the Artillery Brigade, and after crossing the Ford Bridge, make a detour from the east to outflank the enemy from the flank and rear, and especially quickly seize the Pearl Bridge before the enemy retreats, and cut off the most important retreat route of the enemy's heavy army group."

"Yes!"

"Pan Guochen—"

"Yes."

As a future person and a direct subordinate of the leader of the group, Pan Guochen has a hidden sense of superiority in his heart, and lacks the natural obedience and respect for officials like Huang Zhifeng and others who are not in the group, but this does not affect Pan Guochen's faithful and "efficient" implementation of Yu Dalong's orders.

"You take you with two tank battalions of the 1st Brigade, two infantry battalions of the 11th Brigade and a howitzer company of the Artillery Brigade, and make a detour from the west, one flanking the enemy, and the other inserting into the Xicheng District of Pearl City, if necessary, seize Xicheng District during the march, and if it goes well, you can also go straight to Dongcheng District, completely eliminating the possibility of the enemy's heavy army group withdrawing to Pearl City."

"Understood."

Yu Dalong nodded, and his face was slightly deviated: "Shi Guanghua." ”

"Yes."

"How many of your infantry regiments have followed here?"

"I followed the car to 1 battalion, and it may take a while to march on foot - it will take two or three hours at the earliest." Shi Guanghua, the commander of the mixed infantry regiment, said uneasily.

"It doesn't matter, the battalion that arrived, plus the remaining tank battalion of the 2nd Brigade and the remaining infantry battalion of the 12th Brigade, under your unified command, break through the enemy formation from the front, tear the enemy line, and drive them into my double pocket!"

"Understood!"

"Shah."

"In!"

"Concentrate the remaining artillery, don't spare the shells, fully support Shi Guanghua's frontal attack, and if the wind direction is right, hit special smoke bombs——"

"Yes!"

"All departments pay attention, all prepare their smoke masks, pay attention to the signals of the artillery, don't smoke your own people - everyone go back and prepare, start the action on time at five o'clock, now the table."

……

Scowley's sedan struggled across the Pearl Bridge in the torrent of rout.

The angry commander kicked the car door hard and stopped in front of the torrent with open arms: "Stop! Which part are you guys from! Thou, stand still, thou sir? You, where are your weapons? Stop, I'm your commander-"

At the sound of a gunshot, the flood in front of Sculley finally wriggled and stopped, and the routs who had already crossed the bridge did not look back, like foxes driven by hunting dogs, and fled in all directions, and soon disappeared.

The soldiers in the front row struggled to stand on their feet—and some of them kept pushing forward—and began to grumble.

"General, we are from the 53rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, and we heard that the battalion commander took the lead in escaping, so we ......"

"A few of us are also from the 53rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment, we are in Company E, and I saw with my own eyes that the company commander was smashed to pieces by what that monster spat out......"

"That must be magic, the Chinese sell their souls to Satan in exchange for hellish magic!"

"I think it's just an armed tractor...... But we really can't do anything about it, and it doesn't matter how many bullets we fire at it! ”

"That's a secret weapon we can't deal with!"

"But I heard that the artillery managed to hit one and it burned."

"Who did you listen to, I only heard that all the artillery was killed......"

"Silence - silence!"

Scowley opened his hands, and his leader-like calm and majestic voice calmed the crowd, and the surging flow of people just now fell silent for a while.

"Are there officers here? U.S. Army officer, please stand before me. ”

A major with a muddy uniform squeezed through the front row of soldiers and crashed into Scowley—Major Blake, who had been sent by Scowley to give orders to the 50th Regiment and lead the way.

"General, it's 'TANK'!"

"What? What tank? ”

"'TANK', the first mechanized weapon used by the British in the Battle of the Marne, was used by the enemy who had just launched the attack to crush the entire battalion and regiment!"
