Seeing that the Japanese were shot down, they did not launch an attack for a long time. The first battalion commander Bi Yuntao came to the regiment headquarters in great depression and reported to Yang Jinghui: "Royal, what the hell are the Japanese doing? They did not launch an attack!"

Yang Jing smiled faintly and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese have already known the news that we rushed to Teng County."

Seeing Yang Jing answering the question that he was not right, the first battalion commander Bi Yuntao couldn't help but wonder: "Room, does this have anything to do with the Japanese not launching an attack?"

"Of course it's related!" Yang Jing continued: "Since the Japanese already know that it is my Huben regiment guarding Teng County; therefore, they will not launch an attack rashly before concentrating their troops!"

Bi Yuntao nodded, and then said unwillingly: "Captain, then let's just wait like this? Otherwise, I will take the initiative to attack the Japanese and attack him, and catch him off guard!"

Yang Jing flatly refused and said, "No, the Japanese's troops have definitely increased now, and after learning that their opponent is my Tiger Ben, they must strengthen their defense.

Therefore, we should now stick to the principle of sticking to it. When the time is ripe, there are opportunities to attack!

Moreover, we don’t have to stay in Teng County forever. We can stand for one or two days at most to retreat to Taierzhuang.

There were also Sun Fanglu's troops working together to fight. After persisting in Taierzhuang for a few days, Tang Keqin's 20th Army should have almost assembled!

By then, it is time for us to counterattack on the entire line, close the net and kill the 10th Japanese Division, and its subsequent reinforcements!"

Bi Yuntao said again: "Tongzhang, if the Japanese come too many times, will we not be able to eat it?"

"This is really possible! After all, the reputation of my Tiger Ben Regiment has been exterminated; at the same time, the Japanese army regards our troops as the top priority! In order to annihilate our troops, the Japanese army will definitely mobilize heavy troops. In order to win the huge military achievements of annihilation of our Tiger Ben Regiment, all Japanese offensive troops will become unprecedentedly crazy just like they were injected with chicken blood!

But this is war, full of uncertainty, and it is impossible to fully develop in the direction we set.

If this is the case, then we must change the combat plan according to the conditions.

However, this is the affairs of the War Zone Chief Officer, and it is not something we should have a headache about. No matter how bad it is, it is still okay for us to guard Taierzhuang." After a pause, Yang Jing continued: "Of course, there is no need to worry too much!

Now the only ones that the Japanese army in North China can mobilize are the 10th Division, the 5th Division, and the 14th Division!

Now, the first thing we have to face is Isotani Ryosuke's 10th Division.

After the 5th Division was completely wiped out by the Guoqi Detachment, its combat effectiveness was no longer as good as before. Even if the Northwest Army Pang Gengchen and Zhang Xunchen's 59th Army could not resist it north of Linyi, it would not have too many problems if it was held for a period of time.

Therefore, what we really need to be prepared for is besides Isotani Ryosuke's 10th Division, only Kenji Doihara's 14th Division.

In that case, with the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and the 14th Division, we are sure to kill it with General Sun Fanglu's 2nd Army and Tang Keqin's 20th Army!"

Yang Jing made a calm analysis of the battle situation, and his strong confidence also came from the combat effectiveness of the Tiger Ben Group.

With him personally taking charge of command, the Hu Ben Regiment could fully exert combat effectiveness several times stronger than other Central Army units.

Without the Air Force assisting in the operation, Yang Jing was even sure to eat the 10th Japanese Division during the attack.

If it's defense, it's not a problem.

As for the next battle in Taierzhuang.

Although the Japanese have air forces to support the air and their strength will double, the Tiger Regiment is not alone.

Sun Fanglu's 2nd Army had nearly 30,000 troops, making it a strong combat-capable force in the Northwest Army.

Tang Keqin's 2nd Corps has the 13th, 52th, 85th, 3rd Army, 6 divisions, each division has 2 brigades and 4 regiments, with a total of more than 70,000 people.

Moreover, almost all of these more than 70,000 people are elite troops of the Central Army.

Especially General Guan Zhidao's 52nd Army was adapted from the elite troops of the Northern Expedition, with a long history and outstanding achievements.

In addition to the Huben Regiment, at least 100,000 troops in Taierzhuang area will be besieged by the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and its subsequent reinforcements.

Especially in the next battle, Yang Jing will lead his troops to weaken the 10th Division of the Japanese Army as much as possible.

By then, 100,000 elite National Army troops will besiege a crippled 10th Division and at most a division's subsequent reinforcements.

Why worry about not being able to win?

However, the most important thing at the moment is to introduce the Japanese to Taierzhuang first and block their attack.

While consuming their morale and ammunition, they also bought time for the assembly of the elite troops of the Tang Keqin Legion.

…………

"Lingling!"

Suddenly, a rapid phone ringing rang.

A communication soldier picked up the phone, turned his head and looked at Yang Jing for a moment, and said with a loud bang: "The regiment seat and the artillery battalion call, saying that with the assistance of the reconnaissance company, they have locked the Japanese artillery position.

Ask if you can fire and fight back!”

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Jing said: "Order the artillery battalion not to open fire for the time being!"

"yes!"

The communications soldier quickly picked up the phone again and conveyed the orders of Yang Jing, the regiment chief, through the microphone.

Chief of Staff Ma Haifeng asked in confusion: "Royal Headquarters, why don't the artillery battalion open fire? First, ask for some interest from the Japanese?"

A cold light flashed in Yang Jing's eyes and asked without answering, "Do you know why the Japanese dare not launch an attack for a long time?"

"Why?" Ma Haifeng asked subconsciously.

"Because the Japanese are afraid of the powerful combat power of our Tiger Group!" After a pause, Yang Jing said again: "It is still time to fish. If you open fire and kill the small fish, but scare the big fish away, it will be more than worth the loss.

Of course, there is another possibility.

That is, the Japanese will soon launch an attack.

If this is the case, our artillery battalion will not be able to open fire and expose the artillery position in advance.

Because before the Japanese launched the general attack, they would definitely request the aviation troops to cooperate in combat.

At that time, if the artillery position of the artillery battalion is exposed in advance, wouldn’t it become a living target for the Japanese?”

Ma Haifeng nodded deeply in agreement.

Yang Jing, Ma Haifeng, Wang Dali, Bi Yuntao and others thought that after the Japanese carried out a round of bombing, the infantry would launch a cluster charge soon.

But what they never expected was that this wait would be the next day.

On the surface, Lai Guqi was forced by the order of the division commander Isotani Ryosuke, but in fact he was afraid of the reputation of the Tiger Ben and was unsure, so he was reluctant to take the initiative to launch an attack.

After all, the examples of Kunizaki Ton and Nakajima Imao are right in front of him. He doesn't want to be the third general of the Imperial Army to be broken in the hands of the Tiger Ben!

In this way, the Hu Ben Group held Teng County for one day without a single shot.

However, this kind of "benefit" is like.

It was also the soldiers of Yang Jing and the Hu Ben Group who fought with each sword and shot on the battlefields of Shanghai and Nanjing.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Ben Group killed tens of thousands of elite Japanese soldiers with their blood and the steel guns in their hands.

The only one who forged a great reputation!

If it weren't for the bloody battle of fearlessness, how could it be today?

…………

The next morning.

After the commander of the Japanese 10th Division, Risuke Isotani, arrived, he took over the command of the battle and ordered Lai Guqi: "Seya, please prepare an air balloon for me immediately!"

"Exploring the air balloon?" Lai Guqi asked: "Secretary Commander, are you trying to let the meteorological team reconnaissance the firepower points of the enemy's positions, so as to guide the Imperial Army artillery and launch precise bombing strikes on them?"

"No!" Isotani Risuke shook his head and said, "In this attack, in addition to my 10th Division, I also applied to the headquarters for coordinated operations of the aviation troops; so there is no need for the meteorological team to provide guidance to the ground artillery troops!"

Lai Guqi asked in confusion: "That division commander, are you planning?"

Ryosuke Isotani said with a serious face: "This time, the 10th Division of the Imperial Army must kill the Tiger Ben and use Yang Jing's blood and life to wash away the great shame it brought to me by the Great Japanese Imperial Army!

Therefore, I have to see the progress of the battle as soon as possible, so I have to go to the air balloon to explore!”

The chief of staff of the 10th Division, Di Bugu, frowned and comforted: "Secretary Commander, is it too dangerous for you to climb the air balloon?

If something happens, what should I do?"

Isotani Risuke's face darkened and said, "The Chinese army does not have an aviation force. What danger can I have when I explore the air balloon?

Furthermore, as a lieutenant general of the Imperial Army, my status is not achieved by fear of life and death and surviving. It is only achieved by fighting on the battlefield again and again, through the accumulation of military merits!”

Seeing that the division commander Risuke Isotani had made up his mind, everyone stopped comforting him.

Lai Gu Qiong Iso Tani Ryosuke bowed heavily, then turned around and waved his hand. The soldiers of the meteorological team immediately turned on the machine and began to inject hot air into the hot air balloon.

After a while, the huge air balloon began to rise slowly, and then he took the hanging basket to a height of 100 meters, sending Isotani Risuke, Hitoki, and Lai Guqi up there.

Soon, the roar of huge aircraft engines suddenly came from far to near, and the three old Japanese were heard.

"Yo Xi! It's the Imperial Army's aviation force arrived!" Isotani Ryosuke looked at the fighter jet formation that was coming from afar, and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction: "Setani, you can start the attack!"

"Hayi!" Lai Guqi in the hanging basket suddenly paused his head, then poked out his upper body from the hanging basket and uttered a flag.

The next moment, two infantry corpses, over 70 75mm caliber field artillery pieces, began to open fire, pouring out rows of dense shells.

In an instant, the entire Teng County and the Hu Ben Regiment's field defense positions outside the city were engulfed by the fire and smoke from the explosion of shells.

At the same time, fighter jets and bombers coated with bloody aunt scarves under yellow and green wings also emerged from the clouds at high altitudes, and dived down to the field defense positions outside the city, and threw down rows of aviation bombs.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

The Japanese artillery shells and aviation bombs were like money-free, and the explosions were heard one after another, as if they were endless, and they would never stop until the sky was torn apart.
