Kunizaki Noboru said awe-inspiringly: "Usami-kun, is it really so serious? ”

Usamitaka hurriedly said: "Detachment leader, it's much more serious than you imagined!" ”

After a slight pause, Usamitaka continued: "First of all, according to the information provided by the aviation scouts, the Shina government is frantically transferring personnel, materials and various institutions to the rear through railways, highways and the Yangtze River waterway. ”

"Detachment leader, I agree with Usami-kun's opinion." Nami Toshiro also said, "The reason why the capital is the capital is not only the center of the political level, but also gathers the most elite personnel, materials and institutions of China, and only by encircling these most elite personnel, materials and institutions in Nanjing can the government of China be dealt a heavy blow and forced to surrender!" ”

"I know that." Kunizaki Noboru waved his hand and said, "What I'm saying is that if the Shina government does not surrender and the Sino-Japanese war continues to expand in depth in China, will the empire really be dragged down?" ”

"It's really going to be dragged down!" Usami Longhai sighed and said, "In the world, there are not only empires and China, but also Western powers such as the United States, Britain, France, and Germany, as well as the red empire of the Soviet Union!" ”

After a pause, Usamitaka said: "For the empire, the biggest threat is always the Soviet Union, so the war between Japan and China must not expand indefinitely, but must force the government of China to surrender after capturing Nanjing, and then form a Japanese-Chinese alliance to jointly deal with the threat of the red Soviet Union, and at the same time befriend the United States, only in this way can the empire truly achieve its ultimate goal!" ”

It must be admitted that Usamitaka is still a little strategic, and his insights are even more to the point!

Taking a breath, Usamitaka added: "In order to achieve the ultimate intention of forcing the government of China to surrender, it is necessary to contain the personnel, materials, and various institutions, especially universities and scientific research institutes, gathered in Nanjing!" Without these personnel, materials and institutions, the government of China would have lost the courage to confront the empire! ”

"Suodaga!" Kunizaki Noboru finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Order, the Fukuyama Wing will still attack the enemy in front of Guangde according to the plan drawn up by the headquarters!" ”

"Hello!" Toshiro Nami was overjoyed.

……

Ten miles east of Guangde County, boundary card.

A main regiment of the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army and the guard battalion of the division headquarters were rushing to repair fortifications on both sides of the road, and General Rao Guohua, the commander of the 145th Division, was also wielding a pickaxe to dig trenches.

Sun Zhi, the commander of the division guard battalion, used a dustpan to fill the soil dug up by Rao Guohua, and muttered: "Shizuo, the terrain here is too open and Liao, Ma Pi doesn't even have a small mountain bag, and the little devil's cannon is so fierce that a platoon of brothers can't get Liao when a shell comes down, do you say this battle is still a long fight?" ”

Rao Guohua said: "You have the strength to complain here, it's better to dig a few more dustpans of soil to be serious." ”

While speaking, the two dustpans were already filled with dirt, and Sun Zhi could only pick up the dustpans bitterly.

After pouring the soil, Sun Zhi threw the two dustpans into the trench, and said: "Shizuo, if you want me to say that you are too good at talking, what is Tang Erwen, not to mention Xuancheng, who is shrunk a hundred and ten miles away, Ma Pi also pointed fingers at our 145th Division, and we have to attack from Guangde City, I am his ancestor!" ”

As he spoke, a short, shrill whistling suddenly came from ahead.

"Dog's day, little devils shelling Liao!" Rao Guohua immediately threw away the foreign manuscript and shouted, "Brothers, anti-artillery Liao, hurry up and hide in the artillery hole!" ”

Before the words fell, a shell had already been accumulated, and then exploded with a bang.

In the next moment, the officers and men of the Sichuan army who were rushing to repair the fortifications on the position scattered in all directions and drilled into the anti-artillery holes dug in advance as fast as possible.

Moments later, rows and rows of shells poured down.

In less than a moment, the entire defensive position of the 145th Division was enveloped in gunsmoke.

In the thick smoke of gunpowder, from time to time artillery shells fell into the trenches, and after the violent explosion, the hot mud and sand rose into the sky, along with the severed limbs and stumps of the Sichuan army soldiers.

It is simply impossible for a rudimentary civil fortification to withstand the bombardment of a 75mm caliber mountain artillery!

After half an hour, the devil's shelling finally ended, Rao Guohua and Sun Zhi came out of the anti-artillery hole, raised their eyes, and saw that the gunpowder smoke on the position was so thick that the wind could not disperse, and after a few minutes, it finally slowly dispersed.

After the smoke cleared, I saw that the originally good defensive position was already a mess.

And on a wolf-like battlefield, there were a large number of fragments of bodies and limbs scattered.

When many Sichuan soldiers saw this scene, they immediately ambushed and retched, and Rao Guohua also looked miserable.

However, the reality no longer allows Rao Guohua to sigh and grieve, because the devil infantry has already launched an attack.

At least two squadrons of devil infantry pulled a skirmish line of more than a thousand meters from the front and swooped down towards the first line of defense of the 145th Division.

At the top of the 145th Division was the 145th Regiment of the 865th Division.

The 865th Regiment is the number one main force of the 145th Division, and it is also the confidence of Rao Guohua to defend the boundary card.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Rao Guohua's imagination, and before the devil could rush closer, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the 865th Regiment suddenly turned around and fled backwards!

Seeing this scene, the officers and men of the guard battalion guarding the second line of defense were all dumbfounded.

Rao Guohua was even more angry, and said angrily: "Liu Ruzhai, the turtle son, dares to escape from the battle!" ”

It's a pity that Rao Guohua is useless to be angry again, and when he saw the Sichuan army on the first line of defense fleeing, the devil commander on the opposite side immediately dispatched more infantry to launch a general attack on Jiepai.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the devil advanced to the position of the guard battalion of the 145th Division!

"Brothers, don't panic, resist it, resist it!" Rao Guohua raised his pistol to shoot while cheering loudly at the soldiers around him.

The officers and men of the guard battalion gradually calmed down when they saw that the division commander would not retreat.

After surviving the panic caused by the rout of the 865th Regiment, the guard battalion of the 145th Division immediately re-launched its high morale and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

However, the stalemate did not last long.

After about half an hour of fierce fighting, another Japanese army appeared behind the boundary card, and the guard battalion of the 145th Division immediately fell into a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy on its back, and the whole situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

Sun Zhi rushed to Rao Guohua and said anxiously: "Master, you can't hold Liao, let's withdraw!" ”

"No, you can't withdraw!" Rao Guohua said categorically, "If the people are in the position, the position can only be lost if the person dies, so get back and continue to do devils with your soldiers!" Hurry up! ”
