Chapter 255: Duolun's Great Victory

"Little devil, this is going to run!" Li Long looked at the map in front of him, and his mood was very relaxed. After the big battle in the past few days, Li Long also had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Yue Army, and knew that with the little strength he had at hand, it was not realistic for the 15th Brigade to eat the little devils. It's not that I can't eat it! But even if you eat it, you will have indigestion. So when he learned that the little devil wanted to escape, Li Long was still very happy.

"The little devil has been defeated, as long as he runs, we can just take advantage of the situation to chase and kill! Even if you can't do it, you can annihilate one or two thousand little devils! Coupled with the little devils annihilated in the past few days, the losses of the little devils are at least more than five or six thousand, so the 15th Mixed Brigade can be regarded as scrapped by us! Chang Sheng said happily.

"Report! The deputy head of the Reading Regiment reported that they had successfully occupied the Yin family camp, annihilated nearly 1,000 people in the Yue army, and successfully eliminated the brigade headquarters of the little devils. The communications staff officer came over and said loudly.

"What? Seiichiro Sugawara, this old devil is dead! That's great! Li Long laughed loudly, his voice full of pride and excitement.

"Report! The front line is coming! The army began to retreat in full force! As soon as he finished speaking, another staff officer came over and reported loudly. It turned out that long before the Reading Regiment attacked the Yin family camp, Seiichiro Sugawara had already ordered the troops to shrink the defensive line and break through at night. Although Seiichiro Sugawara has burped now, the little devils below are still strictly carrying out Seiichiro Sugawara's orders.

"Order all troops, pursue with all your might! Try to kill and injure the living forces of the army! Li Long ordered with a blank face.

That night, the army began to retreat in full, and the Chadong Reading Division did not abandon the pursuit because it was night. Without a unified command, the army was able to maintain an orderly retreat at first, but soon fell into chaos due to the inability of the various units to work together. The battle lasted until the afternoon of August 15, when the army was defeated and retreated for more than 100 miles, and the battle was declared over. The 2nd Cavalry Wing, which was in charge of the broken rear, was almost wiped out, and the Wing Commander Takeo Honda Nakasa was killed! Two infantry wings under the 15th Brigade also suffered heavy losses. According to post-war statistics, the Battle of Duolun successively annihilated more than 6,500 people of the Yue army and more than 10,000 people of the puppet army.

Li Long immediately reported the battle report to Jin Zhao in Fujian and the political axe in Nanjing, and Lao Jiang was very excited when he got the news, and with a stroke of his pen, he changed the number of enemy annihilation to more than 10,000 people in the Chinese army and more than 20,000 in the puppet army. Then instruct the propaganda department to hype up the victory of Toronto! At the same time, in order to commend Li Long's department, Lao Jiang ordered the Chadong Reading Division to be expanded into the 80th Army, with Li Long as the commander and promoted to the rank of lieutenant general! Originally, when Li Long first served as the Chadong Reading Division, he was the commander of the lieutenant general's division. However, in 35 years, the military rank was restructured, and Li Long was awarded the rank of major general. Two years later, Li Long finally put on the lieutenant general uniform again, and the unit also had a regular number, the 80th Army.

The news of the victory in Duolun was like a whirlwind, which quickly spread throughout the country like a stimulant, and greatly boosted the enthusiasm of the people throughout the country for resisting the war and the morale of the whole army. The overwhelming reports of the newspapers have also made Li Long once again the focus of the people of the whole country, the idol and national hero in the minds of countless hot-blooded young people!

At the same time, the Battle of Nankou continued, and after occupying the town of Nankou, the army continued to attack our defenders in depth. In order to cooperate with the charge of the infantry of the Yue army, the Yue army invested a large number of tanks to participate in the battle.

For the defenders who had never seen tanks before, these tanks were simply "steel monsters". The 3-inch thick steel shell can't penetrate it, and if the cannonball hits it, it will only turn over at most, and then it will adjust itself and continue driving. As long as there is a ravine, it will go up the gap, so how can it be helped?

On a hilltop position, the commander of the Seventh Company was scratching his ears and looking at the little devil tank that rushed up. At this time, a soldier shouted in panic, "Company commander! The iron monster of the little devil is up, what should we do? ”

"What to do? Cold! The commander of the seventh company said angrily, "I told you a long time ago that these iron guys are tanks!" Not some steel monster! There's little devils in them! The commander of the seventh company tried his best to explain to everyone, in order to calm everyone's panic, speaking of this, the commander of the seventh company had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brethren! Inside these tanks are the little devils. There must be a door on the tank, otherwise how would these little devils get in, there are not only doors but also windows, otherwise how would the little devils' machine guns come out! Brethren! All we have to do is rush up, throw grenades into the window, shoot the pistol into the window! Just kill all the little devils inside! These tanks will not be able to move! ”

"Company commander! Will this work? One soldier asked hesitantly.

"Can it be done! You don't know until you've tried it! Brethren! I don't want to wait here to die and rush down with Lao Tzu! Fight with him! The commander of the seventh company shouted sharply.

"That's right! Horizontal and vertical are all one death! It's a big deal to fight with them! The soldiers responded.

"Brothers, rush!" The commander of the seventh company roared and rushed out with the soldiers of the whole company.

When the little devil saw that the defenders rushed over, the machine guns were even happier! "Da Da Da!" In the dull sound of machine gun gunfire, people constantly fell on the way of the charge. One fell, and many more rushed down.

Finally, dozens of soldiers successfully rushed to the little devil's tank, and everyone climbed forward desperately, stuffing the grenade directly into the tank's shooting hole, and the officer took the pistol to hit the shooting hole! My valiant defenders fought with flesh and steel in their flesh and blood. The little devil was stunned by this kind of desperate play, and he was defeated for a while.

But a few tanks were already lying there and couldn't move, because the little devils inside had all been killed and became trophies of our army. However, there are more than 100 athletes in a company of our garrison, and only about 20 people can stand up at this time.

On August 15, the enemy army attacked the position of Huang Laoyuan, the artillery fire was fierce, the same tactics as the attack on Nankou, and gradually recaptured the gap in the right flank, the situation was very serious, and the division commander Wang Zhonglian also went to Hengling City to take charge. When he set out, he asked the orderlies to pack up and take away all his belongings, and prepare not to return. He said: If you run away, when you follow and pursue, unfortunately and fail, you will take Hengling City as a grave.
