"Brother Fan, the Japanese Army's Seventh Cavalry Brigade and Second Armored Brigade will be able to reach the front line in two hours!"

A soldier hurriedly ran into the headquarters and reported to Liao Fan that their scouts were always paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army, and the speed of the Japanese army's support was much faster than they expected, especially the speed of the Japanese army's maneuver was completely unexpected by them.

"So fast?" Liao Fan was also surprised by the speed of the Japanese army.

Hu Guoshan ran for a day and a night when they retreated with a car, and the Japanese army arrived at the battlefield in only eighteen hours, and Liao Fan had to sigh at the speed of the little devil.

"Brother Fan, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do, tell Ma Wanzhong to let them abandon the two divisions of the Japanese army in North China, and turn around and attack the two divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army with all their might! It's too late! ”

Liao Fan knew very well that if the Japanese army arrived at the battlefield in advance, there would be a lot of pressure on them, and they might even be surrounded by Ma Wanzhong, although they would not be wiped out, but the losses would definitely be not small.

"Inch staff officer, you take the guard regiment to support Hu Guoshan, and tell Hu Guoshan that he has two hours left, and you must give me to eat the Kwantung Army of these two divisions!"

Now is a critical time, they must know how to give up, annihilate the strength of the two divisions of the Japanese army, and cripple the two divisions of the Japanese army is already a great victory for the new 33rd Army.

Ma Wanzhong soon received Liao Fan's order, he looked at the telegram and was a little annoyed, if they were given another six hours, their division would definitely have no bones left in the two divisions of the Japanese army, but the Japanese cavalry brigade and armored brigade were very close to them, if they were entangled by the Japanese army in these two hours, they would not have any supporting troops.

"Chief of Staff, inform the fighting troops to withdraw from the battle alternately in turn, and cooperate with Lao Hu's troops to eliminate the Kwantung Army first!" Ma Wanzhong clenched his fists tightly, he hated that their division had lost such a big opportunity.

"Withdraw?" The chief of staff did not understand what Ma Wanzhong meant, they now have a huge advantage, and after a while, they can completely crush the Japanese army.

"The little devil's reinforcements will arrive soon, we have no reserves, this is Brother Fan's order!" Ma Wanzhong knew very well that they had to carry out the order.

Although Ma Wanzhong ordered the troops to retreat, he did not tear all the troops down, if they suddenly retreated, the Japanese army would react and launch a counterattack against them, and they would inevitably suffer some trouble.

The troops on the front line left only two regiments of troops to continue the feint against the Japanese, and although the Japanese sensed that the Chinese attack had decreased, they did not believe that the Chinese army had abandoned the encirclement of them.

The little devils finally had a chance to catch their breath, and without tense nerves all the time, they began to build fortifications and wait for the Chinese army to attack again. The Japanese army was beaten in such a mess that the little devils couldn't believe that the sheep they had slaughtered before had grown horns and pretended to be scarred.

The lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army did not expect that the Chinese army would suddenly increase its strength, which made him directly begin to doubt his life, he thought that the strength of the Chinese army had reached its limit, and the whole army was dispatched, but the Chinese army suddenly increased its strength by 20,000 people.

"How so?" The lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army realized this time that the new 33rd Army was only really strong, not fat.

He couldn't have imagined that Liao Fan was just demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, using the method he was most unwilling to use. Although this method is very helpless, it is enough, and with Ma Wanzhong and their joining, it will be the last straw that overwhelms the Japanese army.

The shouts of killing all over the mountains, the Japanese army was embattled, and it was impossible to take care of the defense of all positions, Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong joined forces, and they frequently broke through the Japanese defense line. Although the Japanese army had a warlord behind them, they could not stop the Chinese army from attacking at all.

The rhythm of the battle was once again controlled by the New 33rd Army, the Japanese army once again lost any advantage, the battle was one-sided, and this time the Kwantung Army no longer had the ability to save itself.

"Four hundred and fifty meters in front of the left, there is a team of little devils over there protecting a Japanese officer!"

Four hundred and fifty meters away from the lieutenant general of the Japanese Kwantung Army, two lurking snipers stared at the lieutenant general of the Japanese Kwantung Army, they didn't know that this was a big fish, but there were people guarding him at this critical moment, this fish must not be small.

"You shoot the first shot, I'll give you a refill!"

The two of them immediately decided, and then loaded the sub-bomb, and at the moment when the sub-* was ejected, an explosive* bomb fell in their field of vision, and they did not see clearly whether it had hit the Japanese soldier or not.

The battle ended in an hour and a half, and Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong retreated urgently before they had time to clean up the battlefield, because the Japanese reinforcements were already very close to them, and they could see the Japanese armored vehicles around the hill just across half a mountain.

The little devils were not too late, they successfully saved the two divisions of the Japanese army in North China, but only about 30 people from the Kwantung Army of the two divisions survived.

After Okamura Ninji got the news, he was not very sad, but his mood was a little depressed, he didn't care about the Kwantung Army of these two divisions, he was concerned about the reaction of the Kwantung Army headquarters and the strong combat effectiveness shown by the New 33rd Army.

Now the most important thing he is facing is the strong combat effectiveness of the new 33rd Army, although there are still more than 100,000 troops in his hands that have not been lined up on the battlefield, but Okamura Ningji also believes that there must be troops in Liao Fan's hands that have not been arranged to go to the battlefield, such as the army that ate the two armies of the Jin Sui Army, if they are transferred to the front line, even if he throws the last remaining 100,000 troops in his hands to the battlefield, he may not be able to attack Taihang Mountain.

The terrain of Taihang Mountain is responsible, and the new 33rd Army can completely rely on the favorable terrain advantage, and 10,000 people can block the attack of 100,000 of them, especially those dangerous positions.

"We're defeated!"

Okamura Ningji is very clear about their ability, when he fought Liao Fan and them for the first time, he had already attached enough importance to the New 33rd Army, and the reason why he gathered so many troops this time was because he paid more attention to the combat effectiveness of the New 33rd Army, but what he didn't expect was that the New 33rd Army was developing too fast, and in just a few days, the 500,000 army was already helpless against the New 33rd Army.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we are not defeated yet!"

Okamura Ninji shook his head slightly: "Order all troops to defend in this area and wait for my next order!" ”

The annihilation of the two divisions of the Kwantung Army and the crippling of the two divisions under the direct command of Okamura Ninji was a huge blow to Okamura Ninji, who was not a person who easily failed, let alone a person who accepted defeat easily, but he knew that this time they would not achieve their strategic goals at all.

The only thing that pleased Okamura Ninji was that they drove the New 33rd Army out of the Jingcheng area.

"Your Excellency Commander, the troops at the front have found a lieutenant general! However, he was shot in the chest and is being sent to the hospital in the rear for rescue! ”

Okamura Ninji just closed his eyes lightly after hearing the news, in his heart, it was better for the lieutenant general of the Kwantung Army to die than to live, and he lived with his mouth, I am afraid it would have a great impact on his career.

"Your Excellency Commander, I will find a way to make him ......" Okamura Ninji's cronies understood the expression on Okamura Ninji's face.

"Forget it, if you lose my life, if he lives, he can be regarded as an explanation to the Kwantung Army!"

Okamura Ninji didn't want to attack a lieutenant general of the empire, after all, the training of a lieutenant general didn't want those miscellaneous officers, and if he survived, it could be regarded as adding strength to the empire.

For Okamura Ninji, it is very easy to kill this lieutenant general now, and it is the most difficult to bring him back to life, but he does not want to kill a senior general in the case of losing the battle on the front line.

"I'll arrange it!" Okamura Ninji's cronies exited the room.

For the New 33rd Army, the annihilation of two divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the cripplement of two divisions of the Japanese Army can be said to be a great victory, but for Liao Fan, although he eliminated so many Japanese troops, he was not happy.

The New 33rd Army lost the Jingcheng area, and the biggest impact on the New 33rd Army was the supply of their resources, but for those people who fled from the Jingcheng area to Taihang Mountain, they really had a home and could not return.

"The Japanese have already begun to build fortifications on the second line of defense we are holding, and it seems that they are planning to stay there for a long time!"

"What about the casualties of your two divisions?" Liao Fan asked Hu Guoshan and Ma Wanzhong.

"Our division is okay, with the cover of artillery, there is no hard resistance to the Japanese army, only 3,000 casualties! But some of them are injured, and more than eighty percent of those who are injured can return to the team! ”

Although Ma Wanzhong and his team attacked fortified all the way, they were all under the cover of artillery, and they did not encounter several stubborn resistance from the Japanese army.

"Our division suffered heavy casualties when it held out, losing more than 20,000 people! The biggest loss was the New Eighth Regiment, and only a fraction of the regiment of more than 3,000 people remained! "For Hu Guoshan, their division is indeed large enough, a division of more than 50,000 people, with more than a dozen regiments under its jurisdiction, but this time they resisted the Japanese army, and the casualties were indeed not small.

"Lao Hu, your division still has to work hard, although the little devil has temporarily stopped attacking now, but we are still in the confrontation, and the Japanese army will definitely arrange troops to attack our defense line!"

"Brother Fan, don't worry, we won't retreat this time! I won't let a little devil enter Taihang Mountain! ”

"Don't promise too early, I let you stay here for a mission, not for you to stay here and see the scenery!" Liao Fan knew very well that they had to take back the Jingcheng area, otherwise too many people would be left homeless.

"Brother Fan, what do you mean?"

"We can't lose the Jingcheng area, whether it's for ourselves or for the people, the Jingcheng area is too important, what you have to do is not let the Japanese troops on the front line stay too comfortable!"

Liao Fan must recapture the Jingcheng region.
