Chapter 237
The No.30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army arrived at the defense line of Nan'an Pass, and did not launch an offensive immediately. Instead, the enemy turned its offensive attention to Jinnan County.

The little devil suddenly changed the direction of attack, the main purpose is to wipe out the wild wolf group.

After the No. 30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army took down the town, after some brutal burning, killing and looting, they marched to Jinnan County [-] kilometers away that night.

The Japanese army was stationed around Wuqiao Town, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Wild Wolf Regiment in Jinnan County...

Lin Xiao learned of the arrival of the No. 30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army, and called a meeting with the chief officers of the whole regiment overnight.

Wild wolf regiment, regiment headquarters.

Lin Xiao glanced at the chief officials, then his eyes fell on Duan Peng.

"Duan Peng, your special forces team is out of the city to scout out the enemy's situation, so hurry up and tell everyone about the information you have scouted."

"Yes, group seat."

Duan Peng responded and reported: "Our special forces team has just returned from reconnaissance. The enemy outside the city is the Seventh Division of Devil No. 30. The enemies attacking us are all devils. There are no puppet troops. The enemy is currently stationed [-] kilometers away. Wuqiao Town."

"The Seventh Division of Devil No. 30 has three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and an armored brigade. The enemy's total strength is about 15000."

After Duan Peng finished talking about the personnel structure of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, he then told everyone about the devil's weapons and equipment.

The 37th Division of the Japanese Army was a new division formed in 1938, headed by Nantian Kenkichi.

This division belongs to the Type B division and has three infantry regiments, 225, 226, and 227 regiments.

Except that the number of the 37th Division is slightly smaller than that of Type A troops, all weapons and equipment are distributed according to the standards of Type A troops.

In terms of numbers, the little devil is five or six times stronger than the Wild Wolf Regiment.

In addition, there are also a lot of devils' tanks, heavy artillery, and aircraft support.

Lin Xiao's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "The little devil attacked a county town, and actually dispatched a whole division of troops. The enemy must think highly of our wild wolf regiment."

According to the little devil's combat strategy in the past, dispatching a division of troops can completely take down more than a dozen counties.

Shinozuka Yoshio's determination to destroy the Wild Wolf Group was very firm, so the little devil dispatched so many troops to surround the Wild Wolf Group.

"Tuan Zuo, the little devil has too many troops. We only have such a small number of people. I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the little devil's attack."

"Yes, Tuanzhao, we are outnumbered, we should request more troops from above..."

The chief officers of the headquarters spoke one after another.

Even though the enemies outside the city were strong and had various advantages, Lin Xiao was still determined to lead his troops to defend the county.

"The mopping and encirclement campaign of the little devils this time can be described as unprecedentedly large. The devils are attacking very quickly. At present, many counties and towns are in emergency. The World War II zone headquarters is busy deploying troops and deploying defenses. There will be no troops to reinforce us in the short term. "

When everyone heard Lin Xiao's analysis of the battle situation, the chief officers of the regiment fell silent.

Lin Xiao went on to say, "However, you don't have to be pessimistic. We have solid fortifications guarding the city. It won't be a problem to resist the little devils for ten days. If the little devils attack Jinnan County, I, Lin Xiao, will destroy their prestige!"

The reason why Lin Xiao dared to confront the 37th Division was mainly because the wild wolf regiment had good weapons and equipment.

What's more, the wild wolf regiment also has flying troops, and the little devil can't get any advantage from fighting the wild wolf regiment.

"Yes, what Tuan Zuo said is correct, since the little devil is delivered to the door, we will compete with the enemy!"

The chief officers in the headquarters thought about it for a while, and they unanimously agreed to stick to the county seat.

Lin Xiao discussed with the chief officers how to deal with the enemy, and then arranged defense tasks for each battalion.

After arranging the tasks, Lin Xiao ordered: "From now on, all battalions will cancel all field training, and the commanders of each battalion will go back to actively prepare for the battle and build fortifications. If there is not enough supplies and ammunition, go to the logistics to collect them."

"Also, the little devils will attack at any time, and innocent people will definitely be injured in the event of a battle. Deputy Commander Xie will entrust you with the task of transferring the civilians in the city. The transfer task will start tonight, and the people in the city will be transferred out of the city as soon as possible. "

"Understood, Tuanzao!"

Xie Baoqing nodded.

"Okay, let's go!"

Everyone got up and left the regiment headquarters.

There are several reasons for Lin Xiao's determination to stick to the county seat.

Defending the county seat can buy time for large troops to deploy defenses, and it can also allow the civilians in the city enough time to move out of the city.

The most important point is that Jinnan County is a strategically important place, and it is also a defensive barrier in Southwest Shanxi.

If Lin Xiao fled without a fight and abandoned the county seat, the Japanese army would be able to drive straight in and penetrate southwestern Shanxi in one fell swoop, and a large area of ​​land, counties and towns would fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the No.30 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army should not be underestimated.

Prior to this, the Central Army and the Jinsui Army assembled several brigade officers and soldiers to block the Japanese offensive, but soon the national army was defeated by the 37th Division.

In just a few days, the Japanese army attacked several county towns, occupied more than ten villages and towns, and rushed to the outside of Jinnan County.

Facing a powerful enemy, Lin Xiao must go all out.

From this moment on, the Wild Wolf Regiment entered a state of combat readiness. The officers and soldiers kept their guns close to their bodies, and they had to stick to their positions for food and drink 24 hours a day...

……

The next morning.

The soldiers of the Wild Wolf Regiment built fortifications and firepower fortifications inside and outside the city overnight.

One night passed, and the officers and soldiers of each battalion established a defense line several kilometers long outside the city.

The speed of the construction work of the wild wolf group is amazing. They can be so fast because of the excavator.

Several excavators worked overnight, and the officers and soldiers established a line of defense with twice the result with half the effort and reduced physical exertion.

Lin Xiao didn't sleep all night, he spent the whole night patrolling the position and building fortifications with the soldiers.

"Listen to me, all of you, you must build strong fortifications and bunkers, which are for your life-saving at critical moments!"

"There are too few firepower points here, call in a few more machine guns, and set up another anti-aircraft machine gun position here..."

Lin Xiao inspected the position while reminding the officers and soldiers.

At this time, a soldier in the position hurried over along the trench.

"Reporting to the regiment, the commander of the third battalion has just called. There are many refugees in their defense area who are about to enter the city, and the rout troops withdrawn from the front line are also going to enter the city. The commander of the third battalion disagrees with the rout troops entering the city. conflict..."

Hearing the soldier's report, Lin Xiao frowned.

Friction and conflict between troops is not a trivial matter. Both sides have weapons in their hands.

Lin Xiao didn't dare to hesitate, he immediately rushed to the direction of the third battalion.

ten minutes later.

"Are you all against each other, what are you trying to stop us, let us into the city quickly!?" A leading major general of the national army shouted.

"Get out of the way, or we'll shoot!!!"

A group of broken soldiers held weapons in their hands, cursing and preparing to force their way into the third battalion's defense area.
