The Japanese finally slowed down the pace of the attack, because after several charges, the captain of the little devil finally realized that such a charge was of no use except for the Chinese artillery as a toy.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I need aircraft support to destroy the artillery positions of the Chinese army!" The captain of the little devil asks his commander for support.

The little devil's plane took off smoothly, and when they flew to Shang'an, they did not find the artillery position of the Chinese army.

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu ran fast!" The commander of an artillery brigade looked at the plane where the little devil was going away and calmed down his excitement.

Their artillery positions were arranged on the streets of the town, and as long as they heard the slightest movement in the sky, they carried the artillery to the houses facing the street, and when the little devil's plane flew over Shang'an, of course they could not see the artillery positions of the Chinese army.

When the captain of the little devil heard the report that the plane had not found the artillery positions of the Chinese army, he was so angry that he could only take his soldiers to resist the shells of the Chinese army.

However, what made the captain of the little devil happy was that the commander of the little devil sent them a brigade of reinforcements, and now he didn't have to work the front line.

The arrival of Japanese reinforcements increased the morale of the little devils, while the morale was high, the little devils once again launched an attack on the defenders, this time the captain of the little devils kept an eye on them, he asked the planes to hover over them to cover their attack, as long as the Chinese army dared to open fire, the planes immediately flew towards the artillery of the Chinese army.

However, this time the Chinese artillery positions did not open fire, and it was the gasoline barrels placed on the positions that fired at them.

The little devils found that the ammunition fired from these gasoline canisters exploded more powerfully than their howitzers, and they couldn't understand where this army came from with so many powerful weapons.

The little devil suffered heavy losses again, this time he also took two tanks, and the two captains of the little devil glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

And in the upper three levels, the gunboats of the little devils did not come, just because the little devils could not collect enough ships, and even if there were gunboats, without the cover of the troops, the gunboats became a live target for the Chinese army on the river.

As for the boats on the Hutuo River, all of them were burned, and when the local fishermen and boatmen heard that the little devils were going to requisition their boats, they immediately organized themselves and set fire to their own fishing boats, so the little devils did not requisition a boat.

Along the Hutuo River, although the two armies were tense and confrontational, both sides were eager to eat each other, but in the end the two sides did not fire a single shot.

In the end, the Japanese army concentrated a wing of troops on the south bank of the Hutuo River, and although the strength was strengthened, there was still no way to cross the river.

After several discussions, the commander of the Japanese army ordered to leave one brigade to defend on the south bank of the Hutuo River, and the remaining two brigades, bypassing the upper three levels, directly attacked the county seat of Pingshan.

So the little devil didn't fire a shot on the Hutuo River, and rushed directly to Pingshan County non-stop.

At noon, the battle in Pingshan County finally started, and Ma Wanzhong, who got the information, finally showed a smile on his face.

"Brother Fan, the little devil has taken the bait! Did you order the guard regiment and Liu Chun's knife division to cross the Mianhe River? Ma Wanzhong asked.

"How many troops did the little devil gather in the middle lane?"

"Two infantry wings, an armored brigade, and an artillery squadron, there are no more than 10,000 people!" Ma Wanzhong knew that the opportunity had come, as long as they cut off the retreat of the Japanese army, the 10,000 Japanese troops would be their meal.

Liao Fan looked at his watch, and the time was just one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Cross the river at night, all the troops arrive at the designated positions before the early morning, and the remaining artillery of the artillery brigade is deployed to the center line!"

The little devils want to make a gap in the middle road, they think that as long as they can capture Beizheng Township and Jiazhuang Town, they will be able to cut off the rear road of the main force of the new 33rd Army on the Zhengtai Line, as long as they can surround the main force of the New 33rd Army on the Zhengtai Line, no matter how unsmooth the front line is, the back road will be cut off, and after a long time, all kinds of supplies will be lacking, and the new 33rd Army will be defeated without a fight.

However, Liao Fan had the same idea as the commander of the little devil, as long as the guard regiment and Liu Chundao could recapture Sunzhuang Township and Weizhou Town, they could also cut off the retreat of the Japanese army and surround the Japanese army.

So now it's up to us who can hold out for a long time and who will take down the opponent's fortifications first.

"Immortality!" Liao Fan said to Huang Changsheng, "I have an idea, I don't know if you can do it for me." ”

"What do you think, and what else can't be done by our special operations brigade?" Huang Changsheng patted his chest confidently.

"I'm too tired to ride a horse, if only I could stop riding in the future!" Liao Fan said to Huang Changsheng with a smile.

Huang Changsheng was puzzled for a while: "Brother Fan, if you don't ride a horse by yourself, do you want the soldiers to carry you?" ”

", when did Lao Tzu let people carry it? In fact, it's also simple, if we go out in the future, if there is a tank in front of the road, it should be very majestic, although the little devil's tank workmanship is too poor, but there is better than nothing! ”

"Oh~ Brother Fan, I understand, you are the idea of fighting the little devil armored brigade?"

"That's right, you have to think of a way, don't get me a few tanks back, at least get me a few armored vehicles!" Liao Fan said.

Huang Changsheng was unhappy, although their soldiers could drive cars now, it was the first time they could drive tanks and armored vehicles, which was indeed not an easy thing to do.

"Brother Fan, I'll try, but if I can't get it back, don't blame me!"

There is nothing wrong with letting the fighters of the special operations brigade blow up the tanks, but if the tanks are driven back, it is really a big problem.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news! All the troops are moving tonight, so go and look for opportunities! ”

Liao Fan knew that sooner or later the cavalry would withdraw from the stage of history, and the armored troops would replace the cavalry, even if they could not form a modern armored force, but Liao Fan must first convey this concept to the troops.

The little devils have made great progress since the first day, defeating the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, but when they exchanged fire with the troops of the New 33rd Army, everything began to go badly.

They attacked frantically for a day, the positions of the Chinese army remained immovable, and the most infuriating thing was that their strength was twice that of the Chinese defenders, and on the Chinese battlefield, they rarely attacked with absolute superiority, but today they seem to have no superiority in troops, but they wonder if the Chinese army is open.

"Boom Boom"

The shells ploughed this rich land over and over again, and a soldier on the position casually grabbed a handful of soil and looked at it carefully, the soil was no longer the original yellow, but black, and the position was filled with pungent gunsmoke.

"Bang Bang Bang" "Da Da Da"

If the little devils use armored vehicles and tanks to cover the infantry forward center, the fighters will use the thunder cannon to aim at the infantry behind the tank, and the explosive bag will be thrown out in a parabolic manner, and it will fall right behind the tank.

There was a loud bang, and the little devil who was following behind the tank was blown up. Without infantry cover, the tank charged alone and could easily be blown up by the infantry.

The Japanese suffered heavy losses after charging twice, and the position of the Chinese army was still not breached, and the Japanese wing commander was already scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry.

In fact, the Chinese soldiers on the position did not have a good time, although they only defended on the position for a day, but in the face of the crazy attack of the little devils, they would die at any time. Especially in the face of the armored cars and tanks of the little devils, some soldiers have never even seen a car, and they have an instinctive fear in their hearts in the face of this steel giant.

But the platoon commander of each company on the position led by example, no matter how fierce the Japanese attack was, they kept an eye on the position and fought with the soldiers.

"What happened to the casualties of the companies?" The battalion commander asked.

"Fortunately, the artillery positions of the little devils were destroyed, and our casualties were less than a third!"

With the development of the New 33rd Army in the past two years, the individual firepower of the New 33rd Army is no longer inferior to that of the little devils, and some sharp knife companies have even suppressed the firepower of the little devils in terms of firepower because they are equipped with submachine guns.

In particular, after two large-scale encounters with the little devils, the officers at all levels of the New 33rd Army have a lot of experience in defense, and how to deal with the shelling and charging of the little devils have been honed in the first two battles, and all of them are free to move their troops.

"What about our large army?"

"Now it is defending in Shang'an, as for Division Commander Li's troops, they are still in Pingshan County and the upper three levels, but the little devil seems to have bypassed the upper three levels and launched an attack on Pingshan County!"

"This little devil is too bold, right, he dares to bypass the upper three levels, aren't you afraid that Senior Commander Li will cut off their back road?"

"The little devil arranged a large team of troops to defend in the Hutuo River, and the rest of the troops rushed to Pingshan County!"

The battalion commander scratched his scalp, looked at the map with a little confusion, and then pointed to the map and said, "What about the side and rear of the little devil?" With such a big defensive gap, the little devil can't see it, right? ”

"Battalion commander, don't worry about it, there are no troops in the rear of the little devil to defend them, but we don't have any extra troops in our hands to attack on the south bank of the Hutuo River!"

The battalion commander carefully calculated the troops in his hands: "Don't we have another company of troops?" If we ask the regiment commander to lend us a company, the soldiers of the two companies can completely cut off the back road of the little devil! And then cooperate with Division Commander Li's troops, isn't this brigade of little devils the fat on our lips? ”

According to the battalion commander's plan, this is indeed a good way, if it is properly coordinated with Li Weimin's troops, a brigade of the little devils on the south bank of the Hutuo River can only be attacked from both sides. Moreover, the most advantageous thing was to eliminate this brigade of Japanese troops, and the rear route of the Japanese army attacking Pingshan County was cut off.

"Brother Fan must have already made arrangements, if you take the liberty of sending troops, what if you startle the snake and let the attacking little devils run away?"

Once the little devils find that their rear road is cut off, they will definitely give up the attack, and then turn around and attack the troops behind them, and then how will the strength of the two companies face the attack of a wing of the Japanese army.

"Anyway, let's report the situation to the regiment commander first, and keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese troops in this wing at all times, what if they want to escape?"

The battalion commander felt that the Japanese had been attacking all day, and the battle was getting worse and worse, and they would definitely know that the Chinese army was fighting with them, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

If the little devil discovers the abnormal situation of Liu Chun's knife division and the guard regiment tonight, then it is likely that he will turn around and leave, if he can't reach the goal of destroying the enemy, no matter how hard they defend the position, it is useless, and finally let the little devil go.
