Lao Zhou was a little embarrassed, he knew that he had fallen into a stalemate positional war, and any idea of going straight was not too risky, but an order was an order after all, and he couldn't disobey it, so he had to deploy it head-on.

Although he was convinced of Chu Ting's ability to do things like a god, he was still a little worried about things that were too beyond common sense, so he personally went to the position where he was about to attack and observed, and found that the breakthrough chosen by Chu Shizuo was lined with bunkers in front, with open ground in front and unclear in-depth defense in the back, and the firepower configuration on the high ground on both sides was unknown, so it didn't look like an easy place to start. The number of Japanese anti-aircraft guns has not increased, but a number of 20mm anti-tank guns have recently been strengthened, which can easily penetrate the side armor of light tanks, some of which are equipped with 2.5x scopes, which are also a threat to the frontal viewing window.

If he had to choose, he would never choose this place, where a slightly more experienced unit could organize crossfire, first cut off the tanks and infantry, and then destroy the tanks individually. He would rather choose a water network area where the enemy is not very defensible, and Stewart can pass through shallower rivers, even if there is no hydrological data in this area, it is worth the risk than using weak armor to test the enemy's hidden fire points.

The worst-case scenario he could estimate would be that half of the tanks would be broken in front of the position and the other half would rush through, but without infantry cover, it would be difficult to do anything.

However, thinking that these were purely superfluous, he ordered the artillery to shift the target and start covering the shooting, and the drone could observe that Zhou Youfu's shells hit much more than Chu Tingchang ordered, and almost ploughed the enemy's first-line position.

After several rounds of shells fell, one company of Stuart tanks quickly struck forward without infantry cover, followed by another tank company and a company of infantry in half-tracks. The two troops were separated by 500 meters, and Zhou Youfu violated Chu Tingchang's request to invest troops at one time, but sent out in batches, so as to put a little pressure on the enemy's hidden fortress, and at the same time have time to temporarily retreat.

Lao Zhou nervously watched through the binoculars, his attention kept resting on the high ground on the left, which was the area he was most worried about. The tank passed almost underneath it, completely exposed to the firing range. He watched as the tanks rapidly advanced, and the smoke and dust from the front shelling were dissipating, and it was about to be seen.

On the high ground, a white flag was waving rapidly. Zhou Youfu paused for a second, thinking that the Japanese were going to launch a suicide charge, and then looked closely and confirmed that there was no red plaster in the middle of the flag, it was really a white flag. He has fought for so many years, and has seen the British, Chinese, and Americans fly the white flag, but he has never seen the Japanese play the white flag.

"Could it be a swindle?"

He wondered in his mind that the first group of tanks had quickly passed through the trenches. The shelling just now had flattened some of the areas, and the chariot company, after all, had experience, and was unwilling to stop to receive the enemy's surrender in an unclear situation, so it hurried through. The 2nd Company of the Tank and the Infantry Company of the Infantry also did not choose to pause and passed quickly.

Zhou Youfu could see that not only on the commanding heights, but also desperately shaking the white flag in the nearby trenches, what the hell is going on?

In the trenches, the 1st Division of the capital of the puppet army from Nanjing, who came from Nanjing, was surprised to see the tanks and half-tracks passing quickly, and no one allowed them to surrender, so they waved all kinds of white objects even more vigorously, from bedding to shirts, for fear that the second round of shells would fall down. They've had enough of the shelling just now.

A battalion of infantry following Zhou Youfu quickly rushed forward and found that the uniforms were not Japanese soldiers, and those soldiers were still wearing M35 steel helmets, which seemed to be from their own side.

When I shouted, I could answer in Chinese, and the accent was similar. The troops quickly went up and drove the guys out of the trenches. Hurry up and fill these ravines, and the army will have to pass through later.

When Zhou Youfu took a jeep to the front line, he found that he and those puppet soldiers had already talked and laughed, although they were currently divided into different camps, but many of them could still be traced back to the same unit, and some even climbed up to fellow villagers and gave each other cigarettes.

He hurriedly asked people to get these puppet soldiers to the back to give them to the gendarmes. At present, the army is expanding rapidly, and he and Tao Mingzhang are shouting at each other, it is a cheap thing for these people to be directly incorporated into their own troops. In essence, his feelings for the puppet army from all walks of life are still slightly different, and he can't hate the people who refuse to surrender like the stinky and stubborn Isono troops directly under Japan, and he can't wait to kill them all, and he still can't hate the puppet Manchukuo and Wang puppeteers, who have crossed the ocean, sent people to their heads for thousands of miles, and surrendered after a fight, and many people have no concept of honor and disgrace, and they are just mixed up when they are traitors. Zhou Youfu himself had a cousin who followed the commander and joined the enemy as a puppet army in North China.

He got out of the car and went to the enemy's trenches to visit in a serious manner, and found that the trench excavation project was first-class, and it was definitely not easy to complete the system in such a short time. The machine-gun firing circles of these fortifications were well chosen, the roof was reinforced with pine wood in important positions, even the groundwater was discharged, the telephone lines were pulled down by the command headquarters, and it was possible to talk to the front and rear at any time. If the Japanese defend here, even if there are only one or two squadrons, they will definitely suffer a loss if they rush hard like this. But how did Chu Shizuo know that this was a weakness? He suddenly realized that he really should have opened his mouth, and after going through so many things, he dared to doubt Chu Shizuo's clever calculation.

He looked at the enemy map at the headquarters and fiddled with the artillery mirror, the location of this headquarters was also very good, he had carefully inspected the enemy's position just now, and he definitely didn't expect the headquarters to be here. It can be seen that the Japanese troops stationed here are definitely a strong force, but fortunately, the division has the ability to reach the sky, so that the Japanese have several vertical and horizontal positions, and the positions that echo before and after have become useless. Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang next to him. He hesitated to pick it up, obviously it was from the Japanese command behind him, and he didn't know how to scold his mother in Japanese. But in the end, I picked it up.

The person on the other end of the line spoke Chinese. Li Zhenyi, commander of the division capital. He was waiting at Bai Qi's headquarters, and Bai Qi's chief of staff was wondering why he stopped in front of him and asked him to question.

"Hey, Deputy Zhao Ying? What's going on? What's going on? ”

"Damn, what's the situation? Lao Tzu asks you, why are you a traitor? Is there an addiction to being a traitor? ”

"What's the situation?"

Over there, Senior Commander Li didn't react to what was going on, but he didn't hear it clearly.

"Listen, Zhou Youfu, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 200th Division of Lao Tzu, will immediately go into the city to get your dog's head."

"200 divisions?"

"Yes, 200 division, go and report to your Japanese master that the position is lost, and see if he rewards you with a big-eared melon seed."

Zhou Youfu hung up the phone as he spoke, and he was so happy in his heart that he didn't completely seize the opportunity to scold the traitor, but took the opportunity to fabricate a non-existent brigade-level unit and raised himself several levels. At present, the 200th Division has reached the scale of the army level, but he and Tao Mingzhang are still acting as regiment commanders, and each leads several battalions to take charge of themselves, of course, this does not prevent him from dreaming of being a brigade commander, he estimates that he will follow Chu Shizuo, and at the end of the war, he will at least be a division commander. When the time comes, he will be famous, and then bring countless gold and silver treasures back to his hometown, and in the second half of his life, he can buy a wide range of fields, buy a prosperous shop, and marry a few wives......

In the city of Calcutta, Li Zhen opened his mouth and slowly put down the earpiece. Bai Qi was impatient with the others, and hurriedly asked Pu Jie what was going on, at present, Pu Jie has no troops, so he works as a staff officer and translator at the headquarters.

"Master Li, Bai Qi asked you on behalf of the division leader, how is the enemy situation?"

"The position is lost."

This sentence doesn't need to be translated, Bai Qi can understand it. He rushed to him in a rage.

"Nani?"

Bai Qi came over and grabbed Li Yan by the collar.

"5 minutes, only 5 minutes after the shelling. You actually lost your ground? His angry eyes were about to fall out, and Pu Jie next to him hurriedly translated.

"Yaga." Bai Qi opened his bow left and right and gave Li Shizuo two slaps. In fact, the rank of lieutenant general Li Zhenyi is much higher than that of Bai Qi Dazuo, but the military rank is not looked at here, and in the eyes of the Japanese, these royal families are not considered to be lieutenant generals.

"You're all piece of shit."

Bai Qi said hatefully, and Pu Jie didn't know how to translate it, so he even scolded him in these words.

Bai Qi thundered, and Zhou Youfu's troops began to drive straight in, outflanking the rear of the main position to one side, where the remaining main forces of the Nanhai detachment and the Isono troops were assembled.

Bai Qi is cunning, good at microscopic operation, in fact, in terms of positional warfare, he is far more difficult opponent than Mu Tiankou, he has long analyzed the strength and weakness of this battle, he has no soldiers and no artillery, the way to survive is to fight slowly and quickly, to delay and wait for change, so he has been careful to deploy limited forces to deal with the enemy's strong attack. But opportunistic this kind of thing, it is difficult to fool the past in front of the pavilion chief who can pinch and calculate, if he has carefully studied the unexpected immortal battles of Chu Pavilion chief in Myanmar, he should not be so self-righteous and risky, thinking that he can on the head of Chu Tingchang. Now he is almost at the end of his rope, unless the Indians are allowed to return.

In the sea off Calcutta, the huge battleship Hiei was still anchored, waiting for the rudder to be repaired, or another destroyer to come back and forcibly change its bow direction by ramming. Army fighters flying from Sittwe hovered above the battleship, forcibly protecting.

Arima Dasa knew that there was a big trouble today, and the enemy's air force airfield was closer to him and could appear at any time. There are also submarines, which are even more unguardable.

Captain Channing flew again in a Skua bomber. He was instructed from the ground in the air not to go straight to the target, but to hover around the vicinity and wait for the enemy fighter jets to return with fuel exhausted.

The British's radar advantage was now very advantageous, they could see when the enemy group of planes arrived, and they could also roughly calculate the time when they had to return. High-speed P38 fighters flew over the Hiei, observing and luring the Hayabusa group below. As soon as these fighters climbed to catch up, the stay time was even shorter.

Roao's command calculated that the Hayabusa fighters would have to resist within 20 minutes, and that there would be a gap of about 100 kilometers between them and the formation of fighters that had already taken off and were rushing to the second escort, meaning that there would be a window of less than 10 minutes to attack. Eight Skuas and four Bristol Beaufort* planes were ordered to attack. The Japanese army has powerful battleships, but they don't know anything about the heavens, and they should be finished.
