"Quick! Speed up, you must not let the little devil run! Shi Jianfei kept urging his subordinates through the radio station. Shi Jianfei was in a very good mood at this time, in the just-concluded Huzhou Campaign, the tank led by Shi Jianfei made many meritorious achievements and was rewarded by the commander-in-chief Jin Zhao. Shi Jianfei also received a valuable medal for this, and his military rank has been promoted from captain to major. Although the current position has not changed, there have long been rumors within the Fujian army that after this war, the 1st National Defense Regiment is likely to be expanded into a brigade or even a division. At that time, these officers and soldiers of the First National Defense Regiment will naturally be able to rise to the top, as far as Shi Jianfei is concerned, the position of a battalion commander is a certainty.

In fact, Shi Jianfei doesn't care too much about things like military rank and position, as long as he can go to the battlefield to kill devils, whether he is a commander or a big soldier, there is no difference. But there is one thing that makes Shi Jianfei more depressed, that is, Xie Wanting, as his fiancée, as the director of the communications department of the headquarters, is already a lieutenant colonel at this time, and it is estimated that it will not take long to be promoted to colonel. And Shi Jianfei is here, he is still a poor major rank, and this major rank has just been hung up for a few days! Shi Jianfei has received a Western-style education, although he is not like most people at this time, he still holds the feudal idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, but a big man is not as good as his wife, and it is indeed not a long-faced thing to say.

Forget it, in a casual chat with Xie Wanting, Xie Wanting intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the agreement between Jin Zhao and Liu Feifei, and once jokingly said, "If you can become a military commander within two years, I will consider marrying you Ou!" Although it is just a joke, Shi Jianfei, who has always been relatively good and strong, is serious, and has been riveting a force, and finally waited for the opportunity to go to the battlefield, Shi Jianfei seized every opportunity even more, and tried his best to show himself, hoping to make a few more achievements.

This time, Shi Jianfei's armored battalion of the 1st National Defense Regiment was once again assigned an important task, that is, to outflank the rear of the 26th Brigade of the Yue Army in a roundabout way to prevent the little devil from escaping. The reason why Jin Zhao ordered the 26th Brigade to surround was not a whim. The advantages of Jin Zhao's armored troops can only be fully demonstrated in the field, if you want to attack a city with perfect fortifications, the advantage of the armored forces will be greatly weakened, so Jin Zhao decided to annihilate the 26th Brigade in the field to prevent this little devil from escaping back to Wuxi City and causing trouble for the next battle.

Shi Jianfei naturally knew the important surname of this mission, so he kept urging his subordinates to speed up, for fear that if he was slow, the little devil would run away. Shi Jianfei's worries are not unreasonable, now the main force of the armored group of the Fujian army in front is storming the position of the army, and Shi Jianfei is very clear about the power of the armored troops. Shi Jianfei concluded that this group of little devils couldn't stop it for even half an hour, which meant that this group of little devils could be defeated and flee for their lives at any time.

Finally, when Shi Jianfei and others successfully penetrated into the rear of the Yue army and cut off the retreat of the Yue army, Shi Jianfei finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But at this time, the battle had come to an end, and in the face of the rampage of the Fujian army's armored clusters, the 26th Brigade of the Yue Army was quickly divided into more than a dozen large and small pieces, but even so, only a small group of the Yue Army could not bear it and was defeated. Even though most of the Yue troops knew the result, they still stubbornly stayed behind and continued to resist desperately. Because their commander Numata Tokushige gave a death order, no one was allowed to abandon their positions and retreat without authorization, and those who violated the order were punished by military law. Numata Tokushige even sent his own escort troops out to serve as a team of overseers to prevent the rout of the army.

But even so, it could not prevent the army from eventually going down. Soon the army was completely annihilated, and nearly 7,000 people under Major General Numata Toshige, commander of the 26th Brigade of the Japanese Army, were killed.

When Lin Shaotang received the battle report from the front line, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, when did the little devil become so vulnerable, Lin Shaotang really couldn't believe the victory in front of him.

But Jin Zhao behaved very calmly, as if everything was taken for granted. In fact, there is really nothing to make a fuss about all this. An infantry brigade, in the field without fortifications, was suddenly attacked by a huge armored group with more than 200 tanks and more than 200 armored vehicles, and there were as many as thousands of infantry to assist in the battle.

"Continue to advance in the direction of Huzhou and strive to take Wuxi before dark!" Jin Zhao continued to give combat orders.

The armored group of the Fujian army, after resting for a while and replenishing fuel and ammunition, continued to rumble in the direction of Wuxi. On the way to Wuxi, he encountered a cavalry unit of several hundred people, and Jin Zhao naturally unceremoniously ordered the cavalry to be wiped out.

It turned out that this cavalry unit was the cavalry team [***] to which the 13th Division of the Japanese Army belonged, and after receiving Numata Tokushige's request for help, the soldiers of the continent were red with anger! But there was no way, the 26th Brigade was now the only main force in the hands of the Zhou Libing (the other brigade was organized into the Yamada Detachment, which is now near Nanjing). If the 26th Brigade is annihilated, Wuxi City will definitely not be able to hold it. The situation of the 26th Brigade was critical, and the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty did not have time to think about it, so they sent the cavalry team [***] to rush to the support, there was no way that the cavalry unit was the fastest, but what the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty would never have dreamed of was that this fastest cavalry unit was also the fastest to die! The cavalry faced armored clusters could only be a tragedy. Hundreds of cavalry, together with their war horses, soon became piles of corpses on the side of the road, in comparison, their corpses brought a certain amount of damage to the Min army, and the infantry sitting on the trucks and armored vehicles behind saw the layer of meat and mud on the road, and couldn't help but feel nauseous, but fortunately, such a scene was not uncommon for them in the past two days, so they also had a certain resistance, but few people vomited nauseously because of this scene.

"Your Excellency General, the ** army has arrived at the city of Wuxi, and the cavalry [***] team still has no news, it seems that it is already more auspicious!" The chief of staff of the 13th Division, Yusaburo Hata, said to the soldiers with a bitter face. As early as when he received a farewell message from the 26th Brigade, he ordered the 17th Cavalry Brigade to return to Wuxi immediately, but the 17th Cavalry Brigade was never contacted. Now that the Fujian army has reached Wuxi, there is still no news of the cavalry team, and it can be basically concluded that this team has been wiped out.

The soldiers just nodded slightly, obviously they were not surprised by such a result, a brigade can easily annihilate the Fujian army, let alone a cavalry brigade? The soldiers of Houzhou asked in a deep voice, "When will the reinforcements sent to us under the Chaoxiang Palace arrive?" ”

Yusaburo Hata lowered his head and said helplessly, "The Asaha Palace has urgently mobilized reinforcements for us, and I don't know when we will be able to rush to Wuxi, but the Asaha Palace ordered us to hold on and wait for help!" ”

The soldiers of Houzhou suddenly had an urge to scold their mother, and they insisted on waiting for help? How to hold on to help? At this time, there were less than 4,000 troops in the hands of the Zhou Li soldiers, and most of them were baggage soldiers, and logistical troops such as engineers could resist the attack of the most elite Fujian army with such troops? Hou Zhou Libing shook his head helplessly and said, "Hata-kun! How long do you think Wuxi will be able to hold out? (Yusaburo Hata surname is Hata, the surname of this beast is trouble, one word, two words, three words, or even more messy, the beast is a beast after all)

"This? It's not easy to jump to conclusions! However, one thing is certain, if there are no reinforcements to come to support, with our current troops, we will not be able to hold Wuxi anyway. Yusaburo Hata hesitated for a long time, but did not come to a useful conclusion.

After hearing this, Yuzhou Libing couldn't help but snort coldly, Yusaburo Hata thought that it was his remarks that obviously angered His Excellency the division commander, and hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency General! It's not that we're too weak, it's that this ** army is too strong! There is no doubt that the Min army is the first elite today, looking at the whole **, the only one who can fight with the imperial army is the Min army, and the other ** armies are not worth mentioning at all. But the Fujian army in front of him attacking Wuxi is undoubtedly the most elite unit in the Fujian army, otherwise it would not be possible to shatter the entire 26th Brigade in just half a day! ”

"That's it!" Yuzhou Libing decisively interrupted Yusaburo Hatata's words, and said coldly, "I don't know what you said. It's just that now that the enemy is present, what we need to consider is how to hold Wuxi and hold on until reinforcements arrive! ”

"Hayi! Your Excellency the General taught you a lesson! Yusaburo Hata said respectfully.

"Boom!" A violent explosion came from a distance, and the face of the soldiers of the continent changed, "** people have started to attack the city?" Don't these stupid pigs need to take a break? "I really didn't expect that the Fujian army had just arrived outside Wuxi, so I couldn't wait to launch an attack, and now the most important thing for the Zhou soldiers is undoubtedly time, but fortunately it's already afternoon, as long as it lasts for a period of time, it will be dark, and after dark, the ** people will definitely stop attacking. One night should be enough time for King Hatohiko of Xianggong to mobilize reinforcements to support Wuxi! When he thought of this, he was a little relieved. (To be continued.) )
