"What? Army......... Downcast? Tsukada sat down in his chair with blank eyes, and all the sparkle in his eyes seemed to be blown away by this sentence.

"What about the people of Shoutian Koji? Where did he go? "Tsukada seems to have lost all his strength and is weak to speak.

"Your Excellency, the battlefield is full of corpses, all of them are soldiers of our Imperial Japanese Army. Because it was so chaotic and dangerous, I didn't send anyone to look for it. However, seeing the scene on the battlefield at that time, I am sure that General Shouda is also ......... Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! "There was a general standing in front of Tsukada Tsukashi, who had been sent to support Shouda Koji.

Tsukada attacked his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say anything. With a wave of his hand, let the general who came to report leave. He's very sad now, very sad. Not only was he sad for the more than 30,000 troops, but he was also sad for his right-hand man who killed Shoutian Koji on the battlefield.

Shouda Koji is a favorite general that he has spent countless efforts cultivating in his life, and even has surpassed the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and Tsukada Tsukasa treats him as his own son. But now that he has been blown into ashes, he can't even find his body, how can Tsukada not feel uncomfortable.

"New Fourth Army, Su Yu!" Tsukada gritted his teeth and said word by word, his eyes full of raging anger: "Come on, I'll be waiting for you here in Taihu Lake." Su Yu, aren't you going to make a surprise attack, then come to Taihu Lake again. Let me see how capable you really are. ”

When Tsukada was angry, he didn't know that the New Fourth Army, which his anger wanted to burn, had quietly come to the surroundings of Taihu Lake and surrounded it with their limited strength.

Su Yuming knew that Taihu Lake was a trap, but he also drove the troops to the other side of the river, not because he didn't care about saving people's hearts, but because he had already had a perfect plan.

The more than 100,000 militia on the land of Anhui is one of his follow-up moves, and these militias are usually very widely dispersed, and although they are not regular armed forces, their combined strength should definitely not be underestimated. In many previous battles, Su Yu already understood.

With the addition of these 100,000 militiamen, Su Yu had the determination to fight the Japanese army. Now more than 30,000 Japanese troops have been ambushed and annihilated by him, and only nearly 60,000 Japanese troops are left on the Taihu side.

This was a big battle that would decide the fate of both sides, and Su Yu knew that if the Japanese were defeated, Anhui would be beyond the reach of the Japanese for a long time. And he was going to be defeated by the Japanese, and he also had to withdraw from Anhui to recuperate. This is a war that cannot be lost by both sides, and only those with higher wisdom and courage can stand tenaciously to the end.

Standing on a hill only more than ten kilometers away from Taihu Lake, Su Yu overlooks Taihu Lake from afar. The mountains are undulating in the morning light, and the great rivers and mountains are like lying at his feet. Less than three kilometers away from his position, a large number of Japanese troops were gathered, but these devils did not know that the supreme leader of the New Fourth Army was looking down on them with an observant eye.

"Gao Dong, it's up to you next. Whether we can break this deadlock or not, whether we can establish a strong base or not, everything depends on you. Su Yu muttered to himself, and the howling wind blew his words far into the blue sky after a moment.

Shogunyama, Ogasayama takes a closer look at a soldier's gun after a fortification. Nodding in satisfaction, he returned the gun to the soldier, raised his head, and looked at the distant horizon.

"Your Excellency General, the defense of General Mountain is perfect, if the independent brigade does not come, forget it, if they come, they must be annihilated at the foot of the mountain." Behind Isamu Ogasayama, a devil with an arrogant face said in a deep voice.

"Don't underestimate our opponents, it is precisely because there are too many people with contemptuous hearts like you that Anhui will be made into what it is now, and countless outstanding military talents of the empire will sleep here." Ogasayama walked out of the trench, although he was reprimanding his subordinates, but his tone was very pleased, and he could hear that he praised his subordinates' courage.

"Your Excellency General, how can those troops before compare with us, you are the son of a famous general, and you are a real famous general in Northwest China. There are countless Chinese generals who have taken the halberds you have received, you didn't come to Anhui before, but now that you are here, what a bullshit independent brigade, their good days are over. The big man said proudly.

Ogasayama smiled, for such a sycophant, even he couldn't help but feel comfortable. He looked back at his subordinates, with a slight sternness in his eyes: "Our opponent is indeed very powerful, and there has been no shortage of B divisions planted under his hands before, and the whole army has been wiped out." This time we have a big stake at stake, and we must hold on to this place to provide a strong guarantee for General Tsukada's plan. So, put away the contempt for the time being, and talk about it when you win. ”

Dazuo nodded, but there was always a thick contempt in his eyes: "The terrain of General Mountain is steep, we are defending this place according to the danger, and there are more than 1,500 artillery pieces of all kinds, this is unprecedented powerful firepower." Air support can come at any time, even if the independent brigade has three heads and six arms, this time, it will definitely be wiped out here. ”

Ogasayama smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Although he was reprimanding his subordinates, in fact, he was not happy in his heart. This time, his superiors specially transferred a huge number of artillery groups from the direction of Nanjing and Shanghai, and directly armed him into the size of an army.

And Tsukada gave him the privilege of dispatching aviation units to assist in the defense of Shogun Hill anytime and anywhere. His subordinates were right, with such a big advantage, he didn't take the independent brigade seriously at all. As long as the other party dares to come, then don't think about leaving.

"I have heard that General Shouda Kotera's troops have been completely destroyed, and that he himself has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. The Separate Brigade should soon be in a state of combat with the order to put all troops on combat alert. Ogasayama said in a deep voice, turning and walking towards the headquarters.

"Hay!" Osa nodded heavily behind him, his fists clenched, he was ready to crush the Independence Brigade to powder.

The day passed like this, and both Jiangjun Mountain and Taihu Lake fell into tranquility again. The New Fourth Army seemed to have evaporated from the world immediately after killing the devils, and there was no news.

And because the news of the annihilation of the Shoutian Koji Army was too shocking, the reconnaissance troops who were so frightened that the devils did not dare to investigate as before, so they did not find that the New Fourth Army and a large number of militias had moved under their noses.

Tsukada's strategic vision was very good, but he forgot a little. That is, the place where he fought was called China, and at the moment he was fighting on unfamiliar terrain. The New Fourth Army and the militia were mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare, and there were too many people in the troops who were familiar with the terrain. Only by drilling into a mountain, it will be more difficult for the devil to find it than to climb to the sky.

The disappearance of the New Fourth Army once again made Tsukada extremely anxious, and he stood in front of the combat map with red eyes, desperately trying to rely on his strategic knowledge to study the location of the New Fourth Army. However, it was all in vain.

In the other direction, twenty kilometers beyond General Mountain, a force of about 7,000 men was quietly stationed in a village. The entire village was cordoned off by this force, and it was turned into a military base.

The village chief's home was cleaned up, and Gao Dong turned it into the temporary headquarters of his independent brigade. The village chief specially burned a bowl of noodles for him, sincerely hoping that the senior official of the New Fourth Army could drive away the little devils and give them a peaceful life.

The noodles had already cooled down, but Gao Dong didn't take a look. He was surrounded by regimental commanders and battalion commanders of the separate brigade, and a large number of company commanders were waiting outside the house. The nine captains of the Sky Wolf Squad also stood impressively in their ranks, they were a sharp sword in Gao Dong's hands, and the most critical task was to be carried out by them.

A military map was spread horizontally on the kang that had been cleaned up by the village chief, and more than a dozen flashlights illuminated the house, which was very dark even in daylight.

Gao Dong, Lin Fan and several regiment commanders pondered for a long time, and their eyes were always staring closely at the area of General Mountain. In fact, they have been here for a day, and the reason why they have not made their way to General Mountain for a long time is that. The devils there are too strong.

The Sky Wolf Squad had already done a detailed reconnaissance of General Mountain, and without the knowledge of the devils, most of the firepower deployment of General Mountain was drawn and sent to Gao Dong's hands.

Looking at the devil's firepower deployment map, Gao Dong gasped. Not to mention how easy and difficult it is to defend and attack the General Mountain, which the devils are defending according to danger, just saying that the terrifying artillery group of more than 1,500 guns is enough to make the independent brigade suffer heavy losses. If the devil can still summon air support, then it makes sense that even if the independent brigade is completely wiped out here this time.

"If we attack from the front, we will inevitably fall under the dense artillery fire of the devils. They bombarded us from above, and we were bombarded in an open area, which was very dangerous. Gao Dong sat up straight and said.

"Captain, we've brought Dr. John's modified cannon this time. It was modified on the basis of the original German-made 150 mm caliber gun, and the firing range was increased by 15 km. At this distance, we can completely exceed the range of the devil's artillery fire. One of the regiment commanders immediately added.

"How many such cannons are there? How much ammunition is there? Gao Dong asked.

"A total of two hundred, ranging from one hundred and fifty millimeters to three hundred millimeters, there is plenty of ammunition, and it will be no problem to fight for two days." Another regimental commander replied.

"Two hundred, but the other side has more than 1,500 guns. With only two days of ammunition, I'm afraid I can't even bomb half of General Mountain. What should I do when I'm done? Don't we need it for the next battle? Gao Dong asked rhetorically.

Everyone was silent, their cannons were so few that they were negligible compared to the devils.

"The only way is to disable the devil's cannon group." Gao Dong took a deep breath, and a bold idea came to life.
