Realizing that the reason for the large-scale secret transfer of troops by the Japanese army was to raid the capital of Jizhou in Beiyi, and to form an effective threat to the important material supply lines of the rear of Liaozhou and the front battlefield of Songyuan, rather than cutting them off. Once this operational expectation is realized, the Japanese troops stationed in Heihe Prefecture will no longer have any worries. As for Longhuaguo, in addition to losing one more land, it will also pay a lot of price.

Although Xu Bin and Situ Baili thought about it comprehensively, they felt that the Japanese army would not give them too much time to prepare. Therefore, the fall of Jizhou Mansion is only a matter of time. The only difference is that the earlier fall will be very unfavorable to the troops on the front line, and it will also lead to a sharp setback in the morale of the people of Longhua Kingdom.

If we can delay the Japanese offensive and buy time for the withdrawal of the front-line army, we will also transfer the materials stored in Jizhou Prefecture to the rear as much as possible. Even if the Jizhou Mansion was lost, at least the Japanese army would not be able to get too many benefits. Next, they will also face an endless attack by the Longhua Army.

Xu Bin, who understood this, quickly sent an order telegram to the 1st Volunteer Division, which was basking in the sun behind after the end of the Battle of Xinyuan. Let them immediately dispatch urgently to the border of Jizhou Prefecture and build anti-tank armored fortifications in advance to deal with the upcoming surprise attack of the Japanese Independent Armored Division.

It is clear that the Japanese army does not know at present, their strategic intentions have been exposed, and the armored divisions and infantry adopt the method of marching during the day and acting at night to reduce the attention of the outside world to them as much as possible. This also causes them to travel not as fast as they imagined.

The only thing that gave Xu Bin a bit of a headache was that he learned the news a little late. According to the current independent armored division of the Japanese army, it is less than 200 kilometers away from the border of Jizhou Province. If you take a break in broad daylight, you may arrive in less than a day. Of course, Xu Bin believes that these little devils don't dare to have any tricks of 'not being subject to foreign military orders' at this juncture.

Then the armored division wanted to attack. It was necessary to wait for the infantry divisions to follow behind. Therefore, it will take at least three days for these Japanese divisions, which are walking on two legs and some cars, to reach the border of Jizhou Province. Because, they are still a day's way away from the armored division.

From the current position of the Volunteers, they were also nearly eighty kilometers away from the border of Jizhou Province, at the speed of their march. It would also take at least a day's time, so in order to build fortifications specifically for armored units, the Braves arrived one step earlier and built the fortifications a moment earlier. can minimize their own casualties.

and for the Jizhou Mansion behind, to buy more time, and at the same time Xu Bin instructed Du Liren, the commander of the first division. In order to speed up the march, he was allowed to borrow or buy cars from the Liaozhou army, and these expenses would also be borne by the headquarters.

Du Liren who received Xu Bin's telegram. He was also taken aback by the secret military operation of the little devils, and immediately ordered the bugler to sound those loud air defense sirens. Of course. It is used here as a large emergency rallying number!

The whining was heard resounding through the barracks. Many officers and men who were still washing clothes and eating threw away their work as soon as possible. They quickly followed back to their respective barracks, put on their equipment and went to the barracks to assemble in their respective departments. At the same time, hearing this voice, the commanders of the various departments who quickly arrived at the division headquarters were also fully equipped.

Looking at these alarms, the main regimental commander who was the farthest away. also arrived within five minutes, and Du Liren felt that these subordinates were indeed worthy of the name of elite. You know, this build-up is rapid, among the divisional units he knows at the moment. I'm afraid it's Xu Jiajun. The few divisions were able to do it.

Seeing the confused expressions on the faces of these regiment commanders, Du Liren said very seriously: "I just received an urgent telegram from the marshal, our Volunteer First Division has a big battle to fight, and this battle is very urgent and important. So, I'll get the details into your hands later, and now I'll announce the sequence of marches. And the defense zone where your troops must arrive in twelve hours!

When I summoned you just now, I had already borrowed a hundred cars from Commander Li of the Liaozhou Army. Seventy of these cars were left to the Separate Regiment for a fast march. In cooperation with the automobile regiment of the division headquarters, together with us will be transported to this position.

Yes, it's the border of Jizhou, where we will have a strong enemy. It's the armored division that the little devils used to raid Heihe Prefecture, and it's it that we have to deal with, as well as the two little devils' main battle divisions that follow its ass.

As the independent regiment is the unit that knows the most about anti-tank and anti-armor in the whole division, you will be the vanguard of the whole division and lay anti-tank mines on all the main roads where the little devil armored division can launch an offensive in advance. Create time for the main regiments that arrive later to build anti-tank trenches.

The outcome of our battle will determine the life and death of hundreds of thousands of comrades on the front line. Therefore, I hope that after you go down, you must overcome the difficulties in front of you and vent the energy you have stored during this time to me. Not to mention, now take your own orders, start boarding the train and get ready to drive in! ”

I heard that one of their reinforced divisions had to deal with the little devils, an armored division, and two elite army divisions. The leaders who were idle recently and had pain in the audience were not afraid as they imagined, but were full of excited expressions. From the hands of the staff officers of the division headquarters, he took over his own orders. After these regiment commanders saluted Du Liren, they quickly rushed out of the command headquarters, ready to lead the whole regiment to fight the little devil again.

Looking at these elated subordinates, Du Liren, who was the division commander, was not excited. Because he knew that this was an unprecedented resistance war. When the war is over, how many of his old subordinates can appear in front of him. I really don't know!

Although he stayed here to rest during this time, as a division commander, he also rested with long hair, but compared to the dead and disabled soldiers brought back by trucks on the front line. Du Liren felt that although this kind of rest was a little uncomfortable, compared to watching the casualties of his subordinates, he felt that the latter would make him feel the most uncomfortable.

It was a volunteer division used as a sharp knife for the Protector Army, and the combat mission it received this time was so arduous. This made Du Liren make up his mind to create another miracle of army defense. It is also ready, and the whole division may be prepared for a heavy blow. After all, as a major general and division commander, he knows very well that there are never immortals in war. What's more, this is still almost a one-to-three defensive battle!

He also sent a telegram to the Volunteer Division first, and then Xu Bin and then to Li Shichang, learning that the Japanese army was preparing to attack Jizhou Mansion. I feel that there is an army in Jizhou Mansion, and there must be no problem with nearly 100,000 people defending it. Therefore, Li Shichang told Xu Bin that he would let his subordinates strengthen their defense.

At the same time, in order not to offend the kindness of this little brother, he was also willing to hand over the most suitable forward positions for the armored troops to break through according to the analysis of Situ Baili and Xu Bin, and hand them over to the officers and soldiers of the 1st Volunteer Division for defense. As for Xu Bin's suggestion to him to start withdrawing the war supplies from Jizhou Mansion, the president, who has been a little complacent recently, promised well in the telegram, but did not do anything at all.

Because in the eyes of President Li, the Japanese army that was pressed in Heihe Prefecture at this time. It is impossible to succeed in making this trapped beast-like counterattack. Even if he really attacked Jizhou Mansion, in his opinion, there were so many defenders, and it would not be a problem to hold it for three or five days. In the past three or five days, is he still afraid that he will not be able to move things from Jizhou Mansion? This Xu Bin's precautions seem to be a little too sensitive!

Soon received a telegram from the intelligence group stationed in Jizhou Prefecture, and several warehouses stockpiling military supplies, the Northern Yi Army did not have any way of moving the supplies.

Therefore, looking at the telegram in his hand, Xu Bin couldn't help but get angry and said: "I only made a little achievement, and I began to be arrogant." If these materials fall into the hands of little devils, you Li Shichang will be the sinner of the nation! ”

can be angry and angry, thinking that in the previous life, the Northeast Army was also careless, and finally made a fortune to the invading little devils because of their carelessness in many arsenals. Xu Bin immediately telegraphed the intelligence department of the Lingji Prefecture to blow up the materials in these warehouses at all costs in the case of a crisis situation. Even if it's all ruined, you can't let the little devil pick it up.

Knowing that because of Li Shichang's arrogance, he expected that the volunteers would need to resist at least a day or so of fighting, and at least one more day. This means that this volunteer first division, which he has put a lot of effort into, will pay a heavy price because of Li Shichang's carelessness. Therefore, I no longer expect President Li, who is beginning to grow in self-confidence, to do something for his subordinates.

Quickly ordered the intelligence department of the Xu Jiajun to divide the merchant group to Beiyi and prepare to meet the 1st Volunteer Division. At the same time, for the first division of volunteers, prepare weapons and ammunition for the corresponding defense. In particular, explosives packs and Molotov cocktails were purchased as quickly as possible and sent to the defensive area where the 1st Volunteer Division was located.

All this was dealt with in advance, and in the follow-up battle, it finally bought precious defensive time for the 1st Volunteer Division. And this Jizhou defense war, which really made Xu Jiajun begin to shine in the whole country, also made the people of Longhua realize. In their country, there is also a strong army that fights bravely and can not be afraid of the Japanese army.

As for the Japanese army, which had been ignoring Xu Jiajun, they also began to pay attention to the intelligence collection of Xu Jiajun. It's just that in this state of war, they want to enter the control area of the Xu family army to find out intelligence. There is no doubt that some of the dead sheep are remedied, and it is too late!

When the independent regiment of the 1st Volunteer Division, as the vanguard, arrived at the position of changing the defense after an emergency march. What I saw was that the intelligence department of the Gannan Chamber of Commerce prepared a series of combat materials and tools for them in advance. With these things collected in an expedited manner, Situ Qingyun, as a pioneer force, undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief.

After handing over the supplies to the person in charge of the intelligence department, he ordered the officers and men of the independent regiment, who had just eaten some dry food, to quickly plunge into all the work of preparing for the war, and prepare for a new round of Butan battle!
