On the other hand, the No.16 division, which was surrounded by the fifth war zone for one night, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as it watched the sky gradually brighten.In the eyes of many Japanese soldiers, daytime is their home field, and they can relax a little bit.

It's just that the sudden relaxation after the tension made many Japanese soldiers who hadn't had a good rest all day and night suddenly feel a little physically and mentally exhausted.Many soldiers who are on duty have the urge to lie down anywhere and have a good sleep.

Keisuke Fujie was also exhausted. As the head of the division, he also failed to get a good rest last night.When he walked out of the underground command room at dawn and looked at the soldiers dozing off, he knew that things were a little tricky.

With such a tired army, if we have to deal with the large-scale attack that may be launched in the fifth theater today, I am afraid that the situation will become very bad.And the troops in his hands seem to be quite a lot, but in fact there are not many, and there are also many areas and areas that need to be defended.

Seeing this situation, Fujie Keisuke still said solemnly: "Miyamoto-kun, tell our warriors later that they must cheer up. Today's battle will be very difficult, and there is no room for laziness." Heart.

As long as we can severely damage the Chinese army that invaded us today, the rest of the battle will be much easier.I know that the warriors worked very hard, but the Chinese army who attacked us was also exhausted.Let's see now, who can last till the end! "

'Hi!Please rest assured, the division commander, we will definitely make the attacking Chinese army pay a heavy price! '

'Yo breath!As long as we can persist until reinforcements arrive this time, I believe that the final victory still belongs to us.What we have to do now is to stick to the town and wait for the arrival of reinforcements, understand? '

'Hi!I understand! '

Even if Keisuke Fujie knows, it is best to let the troops take a good rest at this time.But he didn't know at all when the troops from the fifth theater, which had already formed a siege around them, would launch an attack.

All he can do now is to continue to remain vigilant and wait for the fifth theater troops to launch an attack.At the same time, Keisuke Fujie also hoped that the air force dispatched by the empire to cooperate with the battle could arrive on the battlefield sooner.

In this way, their defensive blocking battle will be relatively easier to fight!

Like the Japanese army, the various troops who woke up early in the morning only got a short rest.But after squinting at any rate, they seemed to be much more energetic.Even if you don't want to get up, you know you have to have breakfast quickly.

If it was a little later, I probably wouldn't be able to eat.When the little devil's plane arrives, they will all turn into gophers and hide in the excavated tunnel.If you stay outside, you will only become a living target for the bombing of the little devils.

There are also strict rules for starting a team in the army. It is estimated that they can only eat dry food for the meal at noon.If they were to join forces in the wild, they would only provide bombing targets for the little devil's plane, and heavy casualties would be unavoidable.

This means that if you want to have a hot meal and hot soup, you can only get up early to eat.In a sense, with the increase in the number of battles with the little devils, the troops participating in the war of resistance also summed up a lot of experience and lessons in exchange for blood.

The 67th Army who also had dinner early in the morning, He Zhengdao looked at the sky when he got up and said: "Today's weather, it is estimated that there will be rain in the evening and evening. But in the morning, it is estimated that the little devil's plane will be dispatched as usual.

Wait for the troops on the front line to be notified. Today we are helping the field, and the observation post must be on air defense alert.Today's offensive task is still handed over to the snipers deployed on the front line, and other fighters only need to hold their positions. "

Hearing this, Li Xiangdong smiled and said, "Then we won't attack today?"

'No hurries!After fighting for so long, the troops are a little tired.After breakfast, except for replacing the troops at the front line, the rest of the troops rested as usual.As for the attack, it depends on the weather today. '

'Yes, Commander! '

With the No.16 division being surrounded in the small town, He Zhengdao also seemed much relieved.Perhaps in a short period of time, the encircled troops will not be able to wipe out all the little devils in the town.But if they want to break out, it is probably unlikely.

The other two main groups, which had been well rested yesterday, were not far away from them at this moment.If necessary, these two main groups can be transferred at any time.But now, He Zhengdao felt that it was not necessary for the time being.

As far as the troops currently concentrated in the southern position, He Zhengdao believes that the offensive may lack a little firepower.But if it's a blocking battle, it's probably impossible for the little devil to break out from the south.

Moving large troops to this side of the position will only increase the casualties of the troops.On the contrary, there is only one regiment here, and they can find a hidden place to hide in.No one can be found, the little devil must have a target if he wants to bomb!

Compared with He Zhengdao holding a relaxed attitude, looking at the current siege battle, the expressions of all participating troops on the 71st Army's position are a bit dignified.They all knew that today would be a tough battle.

After dinner, the regiment-level officers who came to the temporary headquarters didn't dare to say a word when they looked at the solemn commander Song Xilian.After the fierce fighting in the past few days, almost every division and regiment of them suffered a lot of casualties.

Looking at these subordinates who looked a little tired but dignified, Song Xilian also said calmly: "Before making arrangements for today's battle, I will first pass on the telegram sent by the chairman."

Upon hearing this, all the division commanders and regimental commanders stood up straight, while Song Xilian continued: "During this time, our 71st Army has fought hard for several times, and I also know that you are all working hard, and the brothers are very tired.

Only this time, the chairman personally ordered to take down the No. 16 division of the Japanese army at all costs, so as to boost the army's prestige and the morale of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.This means that this time you, like me, have no way to take into account the casualties of the troops.

I know that every division and every regiment of yours has suffered a lot of casualties.But this time, we had to show some blood.Regarding the news that the 67th Army wiped out the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army, I believe you all already know.

As the trump card army of the party-state, although we have achieved some achievements, in comparison, our military exploits are not as good as theirs.At this time, if we don't take up this heavy burden, the people may feel that we are not as good as the Eighth Route Army. "

With the faint words spoken, these division commanders who originally hoped to take it easy and save a little bit of the blood of the troops knew it.In the next battle, they can only do their best to try to gnaw the hard bone of the No.16 division.

Seeing that these subordinates remained silent, Song Xilian continued: "Commander Li also sent a telegram earlier, and we will be responsible for today's main offensive mission. At that time, the friendly forces on the other three sides will also provide corresponding offensive cooperation.

Today, the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army is not too far away from us. A main division of the New 67th Army has withstood the crazy Japanese attack for two days there.And they, I'm afraid they can't hold on for too long.

This means that our attack speed must be fast, and we must rush to wipe out the No.16 division of the Japanese army that is besieged in the town before the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements.As long as they are all wiped out, then we have half the chance of winning the defense of Wuhan.

We fought against the little devil in Lu'an before, and you all know how difficult it is to block the little devil.Their division can withstand two days, which is already very remarkable.Not to mention, they also participated in the battle to encircle and wipe out the Tenth Division earlier.

Even if there are still some disputes between our two armies, the strongest in the army will be respected.They played out the morale of the Eighth Route Army, so how can we be willing to bow down?They only want to annihilate the Japanese army regardless of casualties. Is our 71st Army worse than them? "

After finishing the words with a little bit of provocative flavor, these are all division commanders from the direct line of the Central Army, and they also know that no matter from which angle they look at this attack, they don't seem to have much choice.

After the meeting was over, the units of the 71st Army, which had already had their meals, also began preparations for the attack.At the same time, the combat troops of the 51st Army and the 77th Army were also drawn to the front line to confront the little devil.

Fujie Keisuke didn't feel any surprise when he received the report from the front line.After all, compared to the troops at hand, the troops from the fifth theater surrounding them this time outnumbered them several times.

Seeing that there was no intelligence on the southern position, Keisuke Fujie asked in surprise, "Did the Eighth Route Army not make any moves?"

'Reporting to the head of the division, I haven't received any intelligence from the defenders of the southern position for the time being.I also inquired before, but the defenders of the southern position reported that they had not seen the Eighth Route Army gather troops in their forward position.

Since last night, they have only deployed some troops on the blocking positions facing us.After a rotation this morning, there is also no extra action.From the looks of it, they seem to be quiet today. '

Such an answer made Keisuke Fujie frowned and said, "That's not right! Last night, they continued to shell us all night. It's impossible to do nothing today? What kind of conspiracy do they have?"

Although He Zhengdao was used to making unreasonable moves, Keisuke Fujie felt that no action was actually more terrifying than action, and it worried him even more.After all, he knew very well that the Eighth Route Army's attack was very sharp and terrifying!

"Division commander, I also think this matter is strange, I'm afraid that we have not received much information so far, and we cannot make an accurate judgment.But no matter what, what we need to pay attention to now is how to defend against their three-sided attack. '

Hearing the chief of staff's words, Keisuke Fujie shook his head solemnly and said, "If you really think so, I'm afraid you'll fall into their trap. This tactic looks a bit like the 'encircling three ques and one' in Chinese art of war. .

If my judgment is correct, their real trump card is probably the Eighth Route Army in the south.If we dispatch the main force to the other three blocking positions, then they will carry out a violent surprise attack, and we may be in trouble. "

If He Zhengdao could hear Keisuke Fujie's analysis at this moment, he might also find it funny.But thinking about it from another angle, He Zhengdao and the 67th Army commanded by him are already real opponents in the eyes of the Japanese army and Keisuke Fujie! (To be continued.)

The fifth and fifth chapters help the Central Army

In order to provide air support for the No.16 Division, the Japanese army selected some fighters from the flying teams that cooperated with the No.11 Army to strengthen its air firepower.There is only one purpose, and I hope that the No.16 division can last longer.

As for the troops in the Fifth War Zone, the No. 16 Division has already formed an encirclement, and the Japanese army also knows this situation.Even from the situation reported by the No.16 Division, the Central China Dispatch Army knew that the situation of the No.16 Division was very dangerous.

At this moment, the reinforcements cannot rush over in a short time, and every hour of delay may lead to the destruction of the No.16 Division.If even the No.16 division is wiped out, then the Second Army, which serves as the assist, can basically withdraw from the combat sequence.

As far as the current situation is concerned, a tenth division has been completely wiped out, and a division has lost more than half of it and even replaced a new division leader, which means that half of the division's combat effectiveness is gone.Another No.16 division is lost, that is, the troops of two and a half divisions are gone.

Whether it is the Tenth Division, No.13, or the Sixteenth Division, they are all standing Class A divisions of the Japanese army.If these three divisions are really going to be wiped out, not to mention Higashikuni Gongrenhiko will be punished, Commander Xi Shunliu will be held accountable.

Even if Xi Junliu had already doubted Higashikuni Gongminhiko's command ability, but now is not the time to be held accountable.As a matter of urgency, there is only one thing they have to do, and that is to rescue the No.16 division.

Knowing this situation, even if the No.13 division was still being restored and rebuilt, Higashikuni Gong Minoruhiko still sent it out.In any case, the only troops he could command were the No. 13 Division.

As for the combat troops serving as the guards of the headquarters, he did not dare to send them out easily.If it was unexpected, and a unit of the Central Army really came in, I'm afraid that he, the commander of the Second Army, should be careful about getting his head killed!

After dawn, the Air Force units performing cooperative combat missions received a contact telegram from the No.16 Division.In the telegram, the No.16 Division also emphasized that they would need to be responsible for the key areas of bombing.
