Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned.

There are actually Chinese troops attacking behind their flanks?

The offensive is still very fierce?

Wrong.

There must be some conspiracy.

Yoshio Iwamatsu felt that things were not so simple. The Chinese will not be so naïve.

"They're trying to make a noise......

"Yo Xi ......"

Yoshio Iwamatsu agreed with the chief of staff.

Although it was the 11th and 15th divisions that were attacked. However, the Japanese defense was not weak.

If the Chinese army thought that they could easily attack it......

Hehe. It's going to die a terrible death.

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

In fact, the Japanese have already launched a counterattack.

As Iwamatsu had predicted, most Japanese officers believed that this was a flash in the pan for the Chinese.

Intrusive attacks. Feint. Make a show.

The purpose was to attract the attention of the Japanese army. Cover real action in other lots.

As long as we resolutely fight back, we can thwart the conspiracy of the Chinese.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Heavy gunfire was heard.

The Japanese who counterattacked were killed by powerful firepower.

"Just in time!"

Zhang Chu welcomed the counterattack of the Japanese invaders.

Under heavy fire, the Japanese invaders who left the fortifications and launched a counterattack were completely self-defeating.

There is no need for artillery fire. A submachine gun will solve the problem.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

A burst of submachine guns. The Japanese invaders all died on the way to attack.

The more fiercely the Japanese counterattacked, the greater the casualties.

But the Japanese were indeed very brave. Even if they suffered heavy casualties, they still fought back one after another.

Until they are knocked down.

Then, the Dian army began to counterattack.

The Japanese invaders, who suffered heavy casualties, were seriously understaffed in garrison, and their positions were quickly lost.

However, Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't take it to heart at all.

Instead, his attention is elsewhere.

He and the chief of staff agreed that the Chinese army's target should be elsewhere.

"Jingle Bell ......"

Suddenly, a phone rang.

A staff officer answered the phone. He cried out in surprise:

"Nani?"

The sound immediately alarmed the others.

The chief of staff hurried over to inquire about the situation. When he was told about it, he was also taken aback.

"All the jade shattered by the Okada brigade?"

"How is that possible?"

The chief of staff was incredulous.

However, the other side once again emphasized that this is true.

The Okada Brigade was all shattered.

Not a single one is alive.

Okada's body was also not found. It is estimated that it was crushed.

"What's the situation?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't sit still either.

A brigade was all shattered. This is a very heavy loss.

The point is, the battle has just broken out, and a brigade has been lost. How strong is the attack power of the Chinese.

Isn't it a feint?

Feints so fierce?

"The Okada brigade came under very heavy artillery fire."

"Judging by the possibility of two heavy artillery regiments."

"Okada was killed in the shelling. All the officers were also out of touch. ”

The chief of staff's expression began to tense.

Such a heavy loss. It shows that the Chinese are definitely not as simple as feints.

Whose feint is so fierce!

Just come up and take out a brigade! How long?

Definitely the main force of the national army!

Their previous judgment couldn't help but waver.

Could it be ......

Do the Chinese really want to wedge the joint and split the 11th and 15th divisions?

Don't......

What the Chinese are plotting big?

Maybe he wanted to immediately move eastward and surround the Japanese army in Anqing after destroying them?

Wedge the joint, just to get a good start to the next fight?

The more I think about it, the more it doesn't feel right. But I always feel that things are not so simple. What if it's really a hit?

I can't tell!

What to do?

The chief of staff looked at the map in distress. The brow is furrowed.

Yoshio Iwamatsu also frowned.

"Answer the call of the 11th Division. I'm going to talk to Yamamuro-kun on the phone. ”

"Yes!"

A staff officer agreed.

Soon, the phone was connected with the 11th Division. Find Sotake Yamamuro to answer the phone.

"Yamamuro-kun, I'm Yoshio Iwamatsu."

"Iwamatsu-kun, please speak."

"Are you under a lot of pressure?"

"What pressure?"

"The junction of my division and yours."

"Our division was not attacked. The enemy attacked your regiment. ”

"Understood."

Yoshio Iwamatsu frowned.

To be sure, the number of Chinese troops is not too large.

They attacked with great intensity. But the breadth is narrow. Only the 15 divisions could be attacked. Unable to take care of the 11th Division.

It is inferred that the main forces of the Chinese are still in the rear. Wait for the opportunity to insert.

Case......

He certainly won't be fooled.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of gunfire in the distance was still very strong.

It can be heard that the Chinese army is still desperately attacking, trying to create the illusion that this is their main direction of attack.

It's a pity that the Japanese army will not be easily fooled.

Iwamatsu Yoshio is iron-hearted and will not give the main force of the Chinese army a chance to enter.

"Jingle Bell ......"

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone kept ringing.

All were reported attacks from the front.

"Nani?"

"Nani?"

The voices of the staff officers came and went.

Apparently, the situation reported from the front. And not so optimistic.

A squadron of jade shatters......

Another squadron of jade shatters......

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Captain Matsuda is looking for you!"

"Got it."

The chief of staff went over to answer the phone.

Immediately, his brow began to furrow. Meditate on the map.

"What's the situation?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu asked.

The Matsuda Wing is the main wing of the 15th Division, with the largest number of people, the strongest combat effectiveness, and the heaviest combat missions. But the continuous battles made the losses of Matsuda Wing very large. Now the entire wing is less than two thousand people. Of these, 500 were replenishment. In other words, the original soldiers, who have lost more than two thousand people.

The rate of replenishment is nowhere near as fast as the rate of loss.

"Matsuda-kun reports that the enemy has attacked near his wing headquarters. The enemy's offensive was very strong. ”

"How is that possible?"

"The Chinese attacked very fiercely. Matsuda United was already unable to resist. ”

"Quack ......"

Yoshio Iwamatsu was in a dilemma.

He did not expect that the Chinese would be so fierce.

There are not many people. But the attack power is so strong.

A Matsuda United team can't resist. If you don't reinforce it immediately, I'm afraid that the entire wing will be shattered.

It was already a tragedy to break a brigade before.

That brigade was also dissatisfied. There were only more than six hundred people. Matsuda United was also dissatisfied. There were less than two thousand people. But it's a wing after all!

If the entire wing is completely shattered, the impact on all troops will be negative.

Damn it! How can the Chinese look at this!

Specifically found the crippled Matsuda United! It made him very passive.

Although the 15 division had four infantry wings. The number of people in each infantry wing was close to four thousand. However, in continuous battles, there are losses.

The strength of the other three infantry wings was also less than 3,000 men.

If reinforcements were to be drawn, the front would have to be contracted.

Some places must be abandoned.

However, once certain places are abandoned, the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to attack and gain an inch.

Alas, what a dilemma.

"Adjutant Zhang, it seems that there are no reinforcements from the Japanese invaders!"

"It's fine. Keep playing! ”

Zhang Chu disagreed.

Planning is not as good as change.

Although Fan Tianxi was luring the Japanese to make a mistake. However, the Japanese also have brains. They may not have reacted according to Fan's plan.

At this time, it is necessary to make a decision immediately. Change the operational deployment.

Since the Japanese invaders have no reinforcements, they will fight all the way. Fight your way in. Anyway, it's all about killing Japanese criminals, where is it not killing?

"Report!"

Suddenly, a soldier arrived in a hurry.

The report says that a lot of local armed forces have come from the neighborhood. All of them were mobilized by the New Fourth Army. They actively asked to go to war.

"Good time!"

Zhang Chu's eyes suddenly lit up.

What he needs most now is actually troops.

No combat experience is required.

It's true.

Recruits can too.

Recruits can also help with carrying shells, carrying artillery and whatever.

When they came, the 2,000 soldiers of the Dian army could free up their hands and concentrate on attacking the Japanese invaders. Attack damage can also be increased.

"I'll pick them up!"

Zhang Chu quickly came to the rear of the team.

If you don't look at the results, it's enough. Take a look. Be overjoyed. Because he saw Sun Guiying at a glance.

Oddly enough, she was not wearing the uniform of the Red Army. But he also did not wear the uniform of the New Fourth Army. Instead, they wore casual clothes. The same goes for others.

"Adjutant Zhang!"

"Captain Pei!"

Zhang Chu was deeply surprised.

I didn't expect Pei Haixiong to appear here.

I thought it was really a local armed force! As a result, others are the old qualifications of the old qualifications.

"You ......"

"I heard that Chaoxian County is in danger, and we are here to help."

"That ......"

"We have embraced the adaptation. But the military uniform is not there yet. I had to wear casual clothes first. ”

"Oh......"

Only then did Zhang Chu understand.

Indeed, the New Fourth Army did not have so many military uniforms all of a sudden.

The previous military uniforms were actually from the national army. Nothing big of a difference. Later, it was the military uniform designed by the New Fourth Army itself.

Now that the New Fourth Army is expanding at such a rapid pace, there will certainly be no supply of military uniforms.

"How many of you came?"

"Five thousand."

"Amazing!"

Zhang Chu was immediately overjoyed.

Five thousand people came. That's amazing.

No more feints!

Direct main attack!

Kill all the way in. Kill until the Japanese invaders' lair.

"Only five hundred veterans."

"Yes."

Zhang Chu knows it in his heart.

Surely most of them were mobilized recruits.

The biggest difference between our party and our army and that side is that we have a strong mobilization capability. Fully rely on the masses.

Through extensive publicity, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the vast number of young people has been greatly enhanced. Instead of hard scratching.

"Then you arrange the recruits......

Zhang Chu said what he thought.

Recruits were mainly in the rear. Responsible for artillery support.

Veterans are on the front line. Responsible for face-to-face with the Japanese invaders.

"Good!"

Pei Haixiong has no objection.

Make arrangements now. The soldiers were quickly distributed.

The number of veterans who have their hands free is constantly increasing. In the end, the reaction to the front line was that the Japanese began to feel the pressure doubled.

It was already stressful, but now it's even more stressful.

A position was broken through......

Another position was broken through......

More and more positions are being broken through. The number of Japanese casualties continued to soar.

"Your Excellency......"

The chief of staff noticed that something was wrong.

It seems that the enemy has stepped up his offensive! The pace of Japanese losses is getting faster and faster.

So far, Matsuda United have basically lost all casualties. The flag has been burned. lest it fall into the hands of the enemy. The remnants are less than 300 people.

If reinforcements were not sent, the Matsuda Wing would be wiped out.

"Yaga!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu was in a violent mood.

He always believed that this would not be the main direction of attack for the Chinese.

Definitely a feint.

The problem is, the feint attack is also fierce!

The Japanese army was very passive. Losses are mounting.

It's like being cut into meat.

In front of the butcher's knife, there is no ability to resist at all.

One can only watch as the troops are consumed little by little.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

All the artillery is crazy.

In order to let the Japanese invaders be fooled, Zhang Chu did not skimp on artillery fire at all.

107 rocket launchers were fired continuously.

The number of shells consumed is already in the tens of thousands. It can be said to be very terrifying.

With this density of artillery fire, even if it is placed on the Soviet-German battlefield, there is a place.

However......

The Japanese invaders never mobilized their troops.

It seems that they are determined to be turtle shells. Resolutely unwilling to redeploy.

What to do?

What can I do?

Keep up the fight!

Fight until the Japanese invaders die!

"The Japanese are not moving."

"It seems that the Japanese will not be fooled."

"These devils are really cunning!"

Here, the chief of staff of the Ninth Brigade of the Dian Army frowned. Over there, Zhang Chu has been working for a long time, and the devil still doesn't move?

The main force of the Dian army is still here, just waiting for the Japanese to act.

However, the Japanese invaders did not move for a long time. They can only do and wait.

"Brigadier Commander, do you want to ......?"

"No!"

Fan Tianxi said slowly.

He still stuck to his plan. The devil will definitely not be able to sit still.

Now both sides are competing for perseverance. It's up to who makes it to the end. Whoever can hold out until the end will be the final winner.

Since Zhang Chu still has the strength to attack on his side, he will continue to attack.

From another point of view, they attracted the main force of the Japanese invaders here, which can be regarded as creating opportunities for Zhang Chu.

There is no essential difference between a feint attack and a main attack.

Since there is no chance here, then launch the main attack on Zhang Chu's side. You can also wipe out a large number of Japanese invaders.

Half-hour......

One hour ......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Zhang Chu's attack was indeed strong and powerful.

What I didn't say was that the artillery fire opened the way. Blow up all the way. Bomb until the Japanese invaders can't bear it anymore.

The rocket artillery blew up the mountain artillery bombed. Mountain artillery finished mortar bombing.

After the mortar was blown up, there was also a bazooka.

Firearms in general, almost useless. Unless it's a sniper rifle.

Or maybe it's a 12.7mm machine gun.

There is no 13.2 mm machine gun. It's all concentrated on Fan Tianxi's side.

Take a position......

Took another position......

"Yaga!"

"What exactly are the Chinese going to do?"

"Yaga!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu finally couldn't support it anymore.

The Chinese attacked so fiercely that the losses of one of his 15 divisions were too great.

"Chief of Staff!"

"Yes!"

"Transfer the Sato United."

"Yes!"

The chief of staff hurriedly gave the order.

Sato United is relatively intact and its combat effectiveness is also very good.

However, after the Sato United is transferred, there will be a little gap with the 12th Division. It may be necessary to leave a brigade camouflage.

It was decided to camouflage a wing with a brigade. to prevent sneak attacks by the Chinese.

"Brigade Commander, the Japanese have moved!"

"Good!"

Fan Tianxi was relieved.

The Japanese finally couldn't hold on.

The fox finally showed his flaws.

"Attack!"

"Yes!"

The chief of staff immediately gave the order.

The main force of the Dian army immediately rushed in and divided the Japanese army.

The Japanese invaders, who were suddenly attacked by the onslaught, had a brief panic. Only then did I realize that I had been fooled. The real intention of the Dian army is here.

But......

It doesn't seem right.

On the side of the junction, the Japanese lost two or three thousand men.

Now surrounded, there is only one brigade, less than a thousand people. Compared to the joint, it seems that this side is a feint?

"Yaga!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu was furious. But there is nothing to be done.

He really couldn't make an accurate judgment. Which side is the main attack of the Chinese?

Doesn't seem to have both?

Or like both?

"Abominable ......"

The chief of staff of the Japanese invaders was also at a loss.

What kind of play is this? The main attack is not like the main attack, and the feint attack is not like a feint.

Helpless.

I had to ask the 12th Division for help.

The 12th Division was requested to send troops closer to the 15th Division. Hopefully we can save the day.

However......

Yamada Otozo replied that the 12th Division was also under full attack by the New Fourth Army. Fighting is taking place everywhere.

"Yaga!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu was furious.

He thought Yamada Otozo was making excuses.

But it soon became apparent. It's true. At the same time, the 11th Division was also under heavy attack.

Yamamuro Sotake was too happy before.

With the arrival of the Dian Army, the New Fourth Army also launched a cooperative operation.

As more and more armed forces came from all around, the strength of the New Fourth Army became more and more abundant.

The troops that Commander Chen was able to command gradually exceeded 60,000.

With abundant troops, it is natural to be handy when it comes to fighting. You can fight as much as you want.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

There is war everywhere. There are wars going on everywhere.

For a while, there was a feeling that three divisions were surrounded.

Although judging intellectually, this is impossible. However, there were indeed many Chinese who appeared around the Japanese army.

Quite a few, if not most, of them, are dressed in civilian clothes.

Don't think that you can't fight in civilian clothes.

In fact, the weapons and equipment in their hands are just as sophisticated. Ammunition is also very plentiful.

One of the biggest features is that the mortars are very fierce.

There are a lot of mortars for the Chinese.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Night falls. The artillery fire continued.

Both the Dian Army and the New Fourth Army continued to attack at night.
