Leng Yan received Lei Dingtian's telegram and touched his chin. The Japs currently did not know that there was an independent division behind them. The Japs supporting from Lianyungang had not seen them yet, so they could only wait a little longer.
"Tell Brigadier Lei to wait a little longer so that the Japanese think we have no reinforcements."
"yes!"
Under the city, the soldiers of the tank brigade and the second regiment had already exchanged fire with some Japanese soldiers. With the advantage of the tanks, the soldiers rushed to kill them like crazy.
…
"emission!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Shells continued to fall among the tanks.
"retreat!"
Seeing the Japanese shelling, the person in charge of the tank brigade immediately ordered a retreat. After all, the fact that they came out was just to scare the Japanese. It did not mean that they actually wanted to kill many Japanese.
…
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese tanks have actually retreated!"
"Yo Xi, I saw it, let the artillery regiment continue to attack! Blow down the city wall of Suqian!"
"Hi!"
Listening to the explosion, the Japanese Lieutenant General also frowned. To be honest, he did feel that the soldiers of this part of the independent division were attacking without authorization, but this did not mean that they could not call for reinforcements! In his opinion, this part of the independent division
Now that Suqian has been captured, it is undoubtedly a blow to the Japanese Empire.
Because just the day before yesterday, the base camp issued an order to retreat across the board and hold on to the position.
Now, the independent division has broken into their occupied area!
Annihilated all the defenders!
It's just a slap in their face!
But he was very confused as to why this independent division's troops were so arrogant. They should have gone deep alone! Or maybe he had already called for reinforcements!
That's right, he has captured Suqian, so he will naturally call for reinforcements!
"Ya Lu! Someone is coming!"
"Hi!"
"Detach a large team and go to the north to investigate!"
"Hi!"
"If you encounter Chinese troops, withdraw immediately!"
"Hi!"
On May 24, the Japanese reinforcements from the direction of Xuzhou and Lianyungang were all concentrated at the foot of Suqian City.
Leng Yan smiled and said, "Tell Brigadier Lei and Brigadier Tang to prepare to close the net."
"yes!"
"Order, everyone stick to their positions and are not allowed to jump out of the fortifications! Use maximum firepower to stop the Japanese army!"
"yes!"
Soon, the attack on Suqian City began.
The Japanese attacked Suqian from several directions.
"Da da da!"
"boom!"
…
"Your Excellency, Commander, in my opinion, the Chinese have no reinforcements! If there were indeed reinforcements, they would have arrived long ago from yesterday to today!" A Japanese major general said, looking at the Japanese lieutenant general holding a telescope.
"Yes, yesterday I asked a brigade to go to the north to check, and indeed nothing was found!" The Japanese Lieutenant General replied helplessly, "However, this is very unscientific! Generally speaking, officers of the independent division will not be so reckless!
Even if Zhou Weiguo dies!"
"No! Your Majesty Commander, it is precisely because Zhou Weiguo died that the officers of the Independent Division became so reckless! You know, Zhou Weiguo has always been the representative of the Independent Division, the victorious general! Moreover, the Independent Division is in
It developed and grew in the hands of Zhou Weiguo! A few days ago, when the imperial warriors attacked the Independent Division, they discovered that the morale of the Independent Division was not as good as before! This is proof!"
The Japanese Lieutenant General sighed and shook his head, "It's hard to say! Although the Independent Division has lost many high-level officials, there are no troops from the National Army or the Eighth Route Army sending anyone to take over the Independent Division. This is suspicious!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Independent Division has a great cause, and Zhou Weiguo has long disclosed his identity. He has already listened to the National Army and not listened to propaganda. The National Army has such a special relationship with the Eighth Route Army. No one will take action rashly."
"What you said makes sense."
"Hey! Moreover, recently, both the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang army have been counterattacking in various places due to the incident of the Independent Division! Especially the Eighth Route Army! They have destroyed communication lines in various places and many of our strongholds. Moreover, we
I also heard that the Eighth Route Army called this attack the Hundred Regiments Battle!"
"Hmph! Although the strength of the Eighth Route Army is weak, it can no longer be underestimated!" The Japanese Lieutenant General snorted coldly. Apparently, he also received relevant intelligence in Xuzhou.
The two of them wanted to say something more, but suddenly, a cannonball fell in front of them.
"hidden!"
"hidden!"
Subconsciously I wanted to hide, but the shell had already exploded!
"boom!"
There was a huge explosion, and just the next second, several people nearby lost consciousness! The bombed flesh and blood flew everywhere!
The Japanese frontline headquarters was also destroyed in the explosion.
The Japanese who originally attacked were already stunned.
Are there enemies behind? It seems there are!
Soon, they felt whether there was an enemy!
Because the shells came from behind them!
…
"Hehe, the Japs can drink a pot this time!" Tang Shan looked at Lei Dingtian with a smile, "But you are not a bad boy. You have been hiding for so long and you haven't been discovered by the Japs?"
"There's nothing we can do. If the Japanese find out, will we still have to fight? It would be strange if Brigadier Leng doesn't chop me up!" Lei Dingtian also laughed. This battle was actually a little smoother.
"Do you think the Japanese will send troops to support them?"
"It should be possible, right? I heard that the Japanese who came from Xuzhou to support have a big fish. He is the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, and he came to catch Leng Yan himself!"
"Ha, then our play can continue! Firstly, the devils must not be able to figure out how many troops we have! Secondly, they have to save these devils! When the time comes, they can only send troops to support little by little.
We'll eat as much as he comes! As long as we eat up the enemy's vitality, won't Xuzhou be in our hands?" Tangshan's eyes lit up, "This battle can be fought!"
"Okay, you just know? When the bombardment is over, you have to let other parties launch attacks! Don't let the Japanese escape!"
“Don’t worry, don’t worry!”
…
"Your Excellency, Division Commander!" The Japanese soldiers were simply stunned. How could they hit the target with just one shot?
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!"
The soldiers nearby hurriedly pulled out the corpse! However, only a bloody corpse was pulled out.
"Chief of Staff, what should we do?"
"Yalu! This is the China people's plan! Hidden first! Immediately send electricity to the Xuzhou headquarters and ask them to send people over immediately! Fight the China people with us from front to back!"
"Hi!"
The frontline commander of the Japanese army is dead, and now only the chief of staff is left with the highest rank.
The order was naturally given by him.
"At the same time, tell the Kwantung Army headquarters what happened to our unit and request air tactical guidance!"
"Hi!"
About half an hour later, the shelling finally stopped.
But what rang out was the sound of gunshots.
There were gunshots everywhere.
"kill!"
The soldiers of the Independent Division kept charging forward. Now, whether it was in terms of strength, firepower, or morale, they had the advantage! How could they not step up the attack?
