"Hmm!" Jin Zhao nodded lightly and said, "This mission, you all know it, right?" ”

The three of them nodded, indicating that they were all clear. Jin Zhao immediately said, "The 202nd Division Armored Regiment and the 205th Division Armored Regiment, as well as the 1st National Defense Regiment Armored Battalion, are under my personal command and serve as the vanguard. The main forces of the 1st Infantry Regiment and the 1st National Defense Regiment of the 202nd Division were commanded by Division Commander Yun Yinglin. ”

"Boss, the vanguard is still led by me! You command the army to follow. Before Jin Zhao finished speaking, Yun Yinglin hurriedly said.

Jin Zhao said with a smile, "There is no need to fight, the vanguard force has concentrated our two armored regiments and another armored battalion, with more than 200 tanks of various types, and it is the most elite unit of our Fujian army." If none of these forces can guarantee my safety, then no other force will be able to guarantee my safety. Jin Zhao naturally knew that Yun Yinglin and others were worried about their own safety, and Jin Zhao, as the commander of the three armies, actually served as the vanguard himself, which was indeed a bit unreasonable, so Yun Yinglin and the others were in a hurry to speak out.

But Jin Zhao had made up his mind, so naturally he couldn't listen to their advice, seeing that Yun Yinglin and the others wanted to say something, Jin Zhao waved his hand impatiently, and said with an unquestionable face, "Okay, that's it!" Inform the troops to leave immediately. ”

"Yes!" Seeing this, the three of them couldn't say anything, so they could only take orders.

That night, Jin Zhao led an armored cluster composed of more than 200 tanks to tear a hole directly through the junction of the 9th Division and the 15th Division. Then marched northward, and the infantry force led by Yun Yinglin of about 6,000 people also followed closely behind, breaking through the defense line of the army and going directly north.

"Report to the General Seat! According to the latest information from the intelligence department, there are currently about one wing of defenders of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army in Jintan! Xu Wenqiang reported to Jin Zhao in a strong voice.

"A wing?" Jin Zhao glanced at the map, and then said, "Inform the troops, bypass Jintan, and go straight to Changzhou!" ”

"Yes!"

At the same time, in the barracks of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, an old devil looked at the woman who was tortured by himself last night, reached out and touched the woman's body a few times, and then reluctantly got up. The old devil unhurriedly put on his military uniform, and then picked up his saber and pulled it out of its sheath with a "stab".

At this time, the ** woman, already aware of what was going to happen next, begged bitterly, "Don't! Don't kill me! Yes! A terrible scream sounded in the house, and the old devil watched the woman's body fall softly, pulled out his command knife, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on the knife.

As soon as the old devil walked out of the door, an officer of the army hurriedly rushed over, "Your Excellency General! His Excellency the division commander sent a telegram, last night, an elite unit of the ** army, suddenly broke through the defense line of the 9th division and the 15th division and went north, just now the defenders of Jintan found this ** force, bypassed Jintan City, continued to go north, there may be an attempt to attack Changzhou, the division commander ordered our 26th infantry brigade to quickly support Changzhou! ”

"Yo Xi!" The old devil nodded, and then said, "Order the troops to advance in the direction of Changzhou immediately!" ”

"Hayi!" The officer bowed down and took the order.

This old devil is none other than Major General Numata Tokushige, commander of the 26th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army. Numata Tokushige, an old devil, can be said to be lustful, but he is a complete **.

According to the book "The Complete Record of the Death of the Generals of the Invasion of China", in the last days of Numata Tokushige's life, he wrote regretfully in his memoir: "This life is both worthwhile and regretful for me. To say worthwhile is to say that war has given me the greatest pleasure in creating the divine thing that God has given me, thousands of times more than anyone else! I regret that God created so many races, so many peoples, so many beautiful women, and the women I have enjoyed in 40 years are only yellow! How I wish that this army would march north and start a war against the Soviet Union; If I go south to the Pacific and start a war against the United States, Britain, and the Netherlands, then I will have the opportunity to enjoy the different flavors of white beauties, black beauties, and brown beauties. ”

It is such a war maniac, whose ideal is not to reorganize the world order, nor is it for the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity", but only for the purpose of tasting the beauty of the world. Therefore, fighting wars and destroying **** are Numata Tokushige's two "hobbies". He once wrote in his diary: "I have a grand goal, I hope that before I am 70 years old, I can play with 10,000 female surnames, and all of them are **, which will undoubtedly be a great number!" "It is in this way that he practiced his ideals, repeatedly defeated, when he was 15 years old, he ** a sister of a compatriot Sadako, after ** Numata Tokushige became a surname, was bitten off a small ear by the fiancée of a colleague; In North Korea, a piece of meat was bitten off by a woman on the shoulder; In the Northeast, he was stabbed with a pen by a woman, and once he was bitten off a piece of his chin; In Xuzhou, he was bitten off half of his life by a woman. Of course, this old devil hasn't had time to go to Xuzhou at this time, but he has no chance to go to Xuzhou again in this life. Every time he invades a place, finding and snatching young and beautiful ** for him has become an important task for his staff and guard.

In addition to playing with women, fighting is Numata Tokushige's second hobby, and now when he heard that there was a war to be fought, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement, and he took his 26th Brigade to Changzhou in a hurry.

Although the reaction speed of the little devil is very fast, the army led by Jin Zhao is a fully mechanized army, which is faster than the speed of the army. While Numata Tokushige was still on his way to Changzhou, Jin Zhao had already ordered his troops to launch an attack on Changzhou.

Although the little devil has just occupied Changzhou for only ten days, he seems to have regarded Changzhou as his rear. Although the geographical location of Changzhou is very important, the little devil only put two garrison brigades here. One of the brigades was stationed in the urban area of Changzhou, and the other brigade was stationed at the Changzhou railway station.

When the army captured Changzhou, it had been blown into ruins by the army, and most of the fortifications were destroyed by the artillery fire of the army. Only a dozen days have passed, and the army naturally has no time to repair these fortifications. This saved Jin Zhao's Min army a lot of trouble.

Under the cover of hundreds of tanks, the 1st National Defense Regiment and the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 202nd Division easily broke through the walled defense line of the Yue Army, broke into the city of Changzhou, and launched a fierce battle with the Yue Army in the city.

Although the resistance of the little devils is tenacious, whether it is the 1st National Defense Regiment or the 202nd Division, they are the most elite troops of the Fujian Army, with sophisticated equipment and well-trained. In terms of equipment, all the standard rifles of the Fujian army are semi-automatic rifles, and they are also equipped with a large number of submachine guns. The firepower is more than one grade stronger than the little devil holding the 38 big cover! Often, a squad of the Min army can easily suppress a squad of little devils.

The powerful firepower made the Min army have the advantage in the street fighting, and the battle was only less than two hours from the beginning to the end, and the Min army successfully annihilated the remnants of the enemy in the city in one fell swoop, and Changzhou, an ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River, was successfully recovered by the Min army after falling for more than ten days! Almost at the same time, the battle of Changzhou Railway Station has also ended with the complete victory of the Fujian army, Jin Zhao did not use any superb tactics at all, more than 100 tanks, 20 105 self-propelled howitzers, at the Changzhou Railway Station is a fierce bombardment, directly bombed the railway station into a ruin. More than two-thirds of the more than 1,000 little devils were directly bombed into pieces, and the little devils who survived were also directly overwhelmed by the Fujian infantry who rushed up later.

The only thing worth mentioning is that when the Changzhou army was attacked, it immediately called for air support at the first time. The army and air force urgently dispatched more than 30 fighters to support Changzhou. But the little devil forgot one thing, the Min army also has an air force, and Jin Zhao, as a traverser, is well aware of the important role of the air force in modern warfare. This time, Jin Zhao's lone army went deep behind enemy lines, and how could he not send the air force to provide air support, so as soon as the little devil's fighter plane arrived in Changzhou, it was ambushed by the Fujian Air Force, and in just ten minutes, 15 fighters were shot down, and the rest of the army fled one after another. However, the speed of the fighters was too slow, and in the process of escaping, eight more fighters were shot down. Before the army could send a second batch of fighters to support, the battle in Changzhou was over.

"Order the troops, hurry up and clean up the battlefield!" Jin Zhao looked at the gunsmoke-filled Changzhou City and said coldly. Although he recovered Changzhou City, Jin Zhao had no intention of defending Changzhou. As early as when he first started attacking Changzhou, Jin Zhao was thinking about what to do next after taking Changzhou?

Now Jin Zhao had two options in front of him, one was to attack west in the direction of Nanjing along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway (Nanjing to Shanghai), and then assist the defenders of Nanjing to annihilate the Yamada detachment and other units of the Yue Army defending Nanjing and Fujian. Another option was to attack eastward along the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and threaten the rear of the Japanese army.

There is no doubt that it is safer to attack westward, the army is less than one division near Nanjing, and there are nearly 100,000 central troops in Nanjing, if Jin Zhao leads his troops westward and cooperates with the defenders of Nanjing, it can be said that it will be easy to annihilate this army. If you choose to attack to the east, you can undoubtedly bring a greater blow to the army, but the further you go east, the closer you get to Shanghai, this generation is already the rear of the army, and if you are not careful, you may be surrounded by the army, this choice is undoubtedly very dangerous.

But no matter which choice he chooses, Jin Zhao must leave Changzhou as soon as possible. Now although the army led by Jin Zhao is the elite of the Fujian army, the strength is only more than 10,000, and Jin Zhao's biggest advantage is the powerful mobile surname of the mechanized army, but once Jin Zhao stays in one place for too long, the army will have enough time to mobilize the army to surround Jin Zhao, which will bring ruin to the elite of the Fujian army led by Jin Zhao.
