Chapter 440: Lian Po is not old

This made Sakata Shin angry, and immediately pulled out the command knife and howled "kill the chicken".

More than 1,000 Japanese troops quickly advanced to the squadron in a straggler formation, and soon entered the range of the confrontation between the two armies, and the squadron fired a few shots from time to time, which revealed their predicament of lack of ammunition, and also increased the confidence of the Japanese attack.

Suddenly, grenades and grenades flew out of the trenches like raindrops, and then all kinds of guns made by the handles, Czechs, 38 Dagai, and Hanyang opened fire one after another, and the Japanese troops who were caught off guard suddenly suffered heavy casualties. But the squadron did not even allow any opportunity for them to adjust their tactics. After the first round of strafing, a collective charge followed, and the earth-shattering shouts of thousands of people made the entire mountains tremble, and the Japanese army, which was already only a few hundred times, was overwhelmed by them in an instant.

Captain Sakata Shin saw this scene from a distance at the bottom of the mountain, and his face suddenly turned white with fright, and saw that there was already a squadron ** team rushing towards the artillery position he was in, Sakata Shin ran away, and even the artillery followed, and even several 92 infantry guns and 70 curved infantry guns were decisively dropped by the devils, all of which cost the squadron.

At six o'clock, Jiang Haoran had already ordered the soldiers to demarcate the airdrop area, surrounded by blue sky and white sun flags, and at the same time prepared a fire, lest the plane arrive at night and could not find the airdrop site.

Liu Jian has returned with the new 11th Division, sweeping away all the supplies in Chizhou. When Jiang Haoran saw him, he was still full of gunsmoke, and the general's uniform with his sleeves rolled up high was stained with blood and dilapidated, but it couldn't hide his high spirits at all.

As a general, he has not been to the front line with the enemy's bayonet for many years, and today he can be regarded as being forced to a dead end by Jiang Haoran, but he did not blame Jiang Haoran, but there is a kind of pleasure that Lian is not old, nearly fifty years old, and he can still fight side by side with his soldiers on the battlefield, and return with blood, for a general, it is not a supreme glory and glory, at the same time, he also feels that his soldiers' eyes have changed when they look at him, and there is no longer only awe, but also cordial worship.

Jiang Haoran held Liu Jian's hand tightly and gave high affirmation to his appearance, although it felt strange for a nearly fifty admiral to be affirmed by a hairy young man in his twenties, but Liu Jian didn't seem to feel this way, but his face was full of use.

Chu Zhongtian also came back with the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, and of course Li Tie, Su Canwen and their "Hurricane Detachment" came with him.

It took nearly half a year to reunite, Jiang Haoran was also embarrassed, hugged each veteran team member one by one, and personally inspected Li Tie's team. In addition to more than a dozen veterans of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, nearly 2,000 soldiers saw Jiang Haoran for the first time, but everyone was familiar with his deeds, and they straightened their waists and accepted Jiang Haoran's review with excitement on their faces.

When Jiang Haoran praised their military appearance and military posture for not losing to the regular army, they were even more happy that their chests were about to explode.

Because they have survived behind enemy lines for a long time, know how to deal with the enemy, and are familiar with the terrain in this area, and because they are all teams personally trained by members of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team, their combat capability should not be much worse, Jiang Haoran decided to temporarily retain the establishment of their "Hurricane Detachment" and put it directly under the command of the group army to prepare for carrying out special tasks.

At 6:30 a.m., the roar of the plane finally came from the sky, and soon, two I-16 reconnaissance planes appeared in the field of vision, and the blue sky and white sun badges on the wings were conspicuous in the setting sun.

As the roar got closer and closer, an air transport formation escorted by more than 30 fighters gradually entered the eyes of the squadron, and the Chinese soldiers on the entire ground were boiling, shouting that the Chinese Air Force was rising, and at first it was only sparse, and finally they even spoke in unison, making the sound of mountains and tsunamis, and even the pilots in the sky seemed to hear their voices, Jiang Haoran even saw that in the plane that swept over his head, the pilots were saluting to the ground.

After the transport plane entered the airdrop area, strings of white parachutes descended leisurely. More than 30 fighters took advantage of this time to carry out round after round of dive strafing on the Japanese troops on the periphery.

At about seven o'clock, the parachutes in the sky still blew dandelions in the autumn breeze and landed, and the transport planes that completed the airdrop mission began to fly away from the sky one after another, and finally, dozens of fighters also circled half a circle, flapped their wings and returned, and the action was accurate and fast, and the whole process was not intercepted by the Japanese planes, but later I heard that dozens of Japanese fighters finally caught up with the Chinese air force formation, and the two sides damaged each other.

The airdrop of weapons and ammunition of hundreds of tons, although it can not be said that let the army squander openly, but insist on two or three days, there is no problem in fighting a few large-scale battles, plus there are also some weapons and ammunition in the materials of Chizhou, although the bullets are mainly covered by 38, but there is also a small part of the Japanese weapons, not to be wasted, the materials in Chizhou are mainly food and daily necessities, and it is enough for the troops to eat for three or five days.

The temporary predicament of the troops can be regarded as getting rid of it, the question is how to use these three or five days to break through, and the airdrop of the Japanese army again must have been prepared, and it is difficult to become a reality, that is to say, these three or five days are the last chance for Jiang Haoran and nearly 100,000 soldiers.

Dozens of battles of all sizes last night and during the day today have reduced the original strength of more than 120,000 troops to more than 90,000, but fortunately, more than 10,000 troops from other group armies have been gathered, and there are still more than 110,000 troops in addition to the Hurricane detachment.

In the following two consecutive days, the Japanese army launched a frantic attack, with aerial bombardment, machine gun strafing, artillery group bombing, and infantry charging, turning the Huainan border into a pot of porridge.

However, the losses of the troops of the 40th Group Army were not as great as imagined, because Jiang Haoran had been fighting and retreating at the same time, and the area that was originally 100 miles long and horizontal was now probably less than 60 miles.

The 140th Division of the Japanese Army was still deployed on the front line of Tongling and Xuancheng, and did not participate in the encirclement and suppression. Jiang Haoran took the initiative to launch a large-scale night attack on the 140th Division the next day to test the strength of the Japanese defensive line, but it was almost to no avail, and the Japanese 140th Division was very tightly defended.

Chizhou is still an empty city, and there is no Japanese army even on this line, so it can be seen that Okamura Ningji's plan is still to invite you into the urn.

But Jiang Haoran did not follow Okamura Ningci's plan, he would rather wander around the mountains and deal with the Japanese army, but he didn't go in the direction of Chizhou, but the Japanese army didn't seem to be in a hurry, after two days of fierce attack, the speed of the march was slow, Jiang Haoran also knew that the Japanese army was thinking that they were running out of food again, first tighten and stabilize the troops, don't let yourself find a flaw and come to fight the autumn wind, there are still people in Chizhou, there is still a way to enter the city and stutter, all in all, the devil is to tighten his pockets and not let the ** people covet it, forced Jiang Haoran to enter Chizhou.
