"superior!"

A black shadow flashed in front of the Japanese sentry, and the Japanese army's attention was naturally diverted, and another soldier suddenly rushed behind him.

A mistake in both hands!

There was a crisp sound, clean and neat sound.

The Japanese sentry pedaled down softly, and this movement was natural, obviously not the first time he did it.

"Squad Leader!" The person who twisted his neck was the squad leader of this action team.

"Okay, follow me!"

The three red signal flares clearly told the Japanese that I was going to attack, but it was too late for the Japanese to react because this was an order for the attack!

For a moment, gunfire sounded loudly at the frontline positions of the Japanese army!

This was a premeditated and prepared, and it was also a sudden attack that silently touched the Japanese army's eyes and noses. The darkness gave the officers and soldiers of the new 37th Brigade of the Honorary First Division the best cover.

Although the Japanese army was staring at the top and used equipment such as searchlights, they just couldn't find out that the enemy was already under his nose.

"kill!"

Xie Chengrui also used the tactic of point-breaking surfaces, that is, whoever breaks through the raid team first breaks through, the subsequent troops flock to attack and rush hard. When encountering resistance, they withdraw immediately, and never fight, and then look for the next breakthrough point.

This tactic does not aim at capturing the enemy's positions as its primary purpose. It mainly destroys the enemy's personnel and materials, and also attacks the opponent's morale.

The Japanese army is very uncomfortable with this style of play because their opponents are always slippery and do not give you any chance. At the same time, they bring you huge damage costs. You dare not chase them. If you get angry and chase them, you will definitely be the one who is unlucky.

This is where people are at home.

What's more, the troops are not less than you, and the combat power is not worse than you.

Although the 372nd Regiment and the 373rd Regiment were the main attackers of the night war, they did not use all their troops, but only used half of their troops.

There was only one regiment that crossed the river. Some of the troops had been eaten up before, and their forces were roughly the same as those of the two infantry regiments of the New 37th Brigade.

Therefore, this is also a relatively equal contest.

Obviously, with the loss of firepower support from heavy artillery, the New 37th Brigade, which had proper tactics, was defeated by the Japanese infantry corps in just a few minutes, and the Japanese front was destroyed.

The defensive position they worked hard to establish fell into the hands of the New 37th Brigade.

The brigade commander Takashi Sakai who received the report was unwilling to believe that this was true. The invincible warriors of the Imperial Japanese Imperial Army were actually defeated by the Chinese in front of the defense!

This is simply impossible.

It was not impossible, but the fact, and it was broken on the whole line. The powerful combat power of the Honorary First Division made Major General Sakai feel hot for the first time.

The telegram from the commander of the Doihara Division reminded him was still in his ears, making him be careful and alert. He didn't care. He knew his own troops and would arrange sentries and alerts according to combat requirements at night.

He thought these were enough, and it would not be that easy for Chinese people to attack themselves.

But now, the Chinese not only attacked, but also had such a sharp counterattack, which suddenly pushed down the defensive front that they had worked hard to build.

The worst thing is that they are attacking the side and it is impossible to set up multiple defensive positions. Once the frontier positions are broken, are there any ready-made fortifications behind them?

There is only one way, retreat!

"The ranks, the Japanese retreated!"

"oh!"

Wu Jing picked up the telescope and looked at the fire on the battlefield. As expected, the Japanese army was retreating, and the retreat was not slow, and it was completely defeated.

"Telephone!"

"Mr. Xie, the Japanese army retreats. I ask for pursuit. This is a good opportunity. I can definitely feed the Japanese army down the Yellow River again." Wu Jing said excitedly.

"Captain Wu, I saw it too. You can chase it, but you are not allowed to cross Gezhuang. Do you understand the same line?" Xie Chengrui's serious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, deputy voyage, Wu Jing understands!"

The Japanese army's revenge artillery fire soon arrived, and heavy artillery on the other side of the Yellow River launched a fierce shelling on Juancheng.

The frontier collapsed, and an infantry corps could not defend a position, which was simply a loss of the face of the 14th Division. Is this the most elite infantry corps of the A-type division of the Great Japanese Empire?

Kenji Doihara was woken up by the adjutant from his sleep. When he heard the news, he angrily tore the telegram in his hand and scolded "Saki Takashi" as an incompetent stupid pig.

He had reminded him, why did he succeed in being attacked by the Chinese?

That is not an ordinary Chinese GJ team. It cannot be measured by ordinary standards. Why is he constantly so careless? Could it be that someone will rush into the river again?

How come Takashi Sakai didn’t learn from the lessons of climbing a distant mountain?

"Appoint Takashi Sakai must defend the position on the south bank of the Yellow River, otherwise he will be like climbing a distant mountain and slaughter!" Kenji Doihara was really angry. If someone blocked the Yellow River and could not pass or retreat, his reputation would be ruined for the rest of his life.

Keep the pontoon bridge and after the load test tomorrow morning, the heavy equipment will cross the river. At that time, no matter how powerful the Honor Division is, it will be difficult to withstand the attacks of its own tanks and heavy artillery!

The only armored force in the hands of the First Honor Division is now in Taierzhuang. Although there is news that it has withdrawn from the battlefield, it will take time to come from Taierzhuang, and this armored force has also suffered a considerable loss.

Kenji Doihara's intelligence attention to the Honorary First Division was far more important than other generals in the Japanese army. Because of this, he was so cautious.

Never underestimate any opponent. Even if the opponent is a fool, you must do your best.

Yuncheng, Leng Feng’s temporary garrison.

"The division seat, the new 37th Brigade called, and the night attack was very successful. Although the number of casualties of the Japanese army was not large, they discarded a large amount of weapons, equipment and supplies during the retreat."

"Is this? This is a cheaper one. Didn't the Japanese army always implement the strategy of using war to support war? We are also very poor and can only snatch it from them, haha..."

"Do not take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, but ended up in the same place, Gezhuang, and quickly retreated after breaking the Japanese defense line."

"The old one is still so hot. The Japanese army occupied the fortifications on the south bank of the Yellow River. It will be difficult for us to break through in a short period of time. Moreover, the Japanese army's weapons and equipment are better than us. Once we get entangled, we will be at a disadvantage. Stop when we see it, okay!" Leng Feng said.

“How to call back?”

"The two battles commanded by the old regiment commander have hurt the Japanese army, and the Japanese army has roughly understood our strength, so the next battle will not be so easy. The Japanese heavy equipment will probably be able to cross the river tomorrow. In this way, we are completely at a disadvantage. It is not easy to hold on for three days!" Leng Feng said.

"Master, what strategy should we adopt?"

"There are many rivers in the Juancheng area. Although there are no mountains, the Japanese army's mechanized equipment is difficult to quickly unfold. We can only rely on the river network to block each layer to achieve the goal of slowing down the enemy's attack."

"By the way, where has the 17th Armor Regiment been?"

"I am rushing over day and night, and I expect it will arrive tomorrow." Long Yingqin said.

"Tell Commander Zhang Yingqi to keep it confidential and not let the Japanese army understand our movements. If the heavy artillery regiment can arrive tomorrow, our confidence will be much greater." Leng Feng nodded.

"yes!"

"Master, please sleep for a while. There are only two hours left before dawn."

"I'm not sleepy yet." Leng Feng waved.

Commanding so many troops to fight is very brain-cell-intensive, especially the military affiliation relationship, which is not enough to be considered a little. This battle in Luxi is really difficult to fight.

Hankou Guard Command.

I don’t know what happened, but Sun Zhongren took Su Xing and jumped on the coal truck arranged for him. The bones were shaking along the way. The car had not stopped on the road and arrived in Hankou at around 2 o’clock in the middle of the night.

"General Sun, you finally arrived!"

"Adminton Liu, why are you here?" The person who came to the station to pick them up was Ju Youlin's adjutant, who had been waiting on the platform for more than an hour.

"Deputy Commander Ju is waiting for you at the Security Command."

"What's wrong?" Sun Zhongren did not doubt that he was there and got into the car with Adjutant Liu.

"You will know when you arrive. It's a good thing anyway." Adjutant Liu smiled, got in the car, and ordered the driver to start the car and return to the security headquarters.

Ju Youlin was indeed waiting for him at the Security Command. In addition to him, Wu Xiaoyun and Zhang Fengxiang were also there.

"Brother Zhong Ren, you are finally here!" Ju Youlin personally went to the door to greet him.

"Deputy Commander Ju, Director Wu, and Director Zhang, why are you..." Sun Zhongren was a little surprised to see the three people walking down the steps. Has something big happened?

Although Sun Zhongren has the authority to read the war report, the news will always be lagging behind, and this is specially approved by Leng Feng. Otherwise, confidential war report cannot be read casually by everyone, even if Sun Zhongren is a major general personally issued by the State Government, it is not possible.

"Go and talk to the conference room."

In the conference room.

Ju Youlin took out a document from the Military Commission, opened it, and shouted: "I will appoint Sun Zhongren as the brigade commander of the 36th Brigade of the newly formed 1st Division and the rank of major general. This order: Chiang Kai-shek, May 11, 27th year of the Republic of China."

Sun Zhongren was stunned for a moment.

"Brig Commander Sun, this is an appointment signed by the Chairman himself. From now on, you have become a member of my Honorary First Division." Ju Youlin smiled slightly and pushed the appointment letter to Sun Zhongren.

"Deputy Commander Ju, what's going on?" Ren Zhongren, who suddenly fell off guard, caught Sun Zhongren off guard. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to lead the troops so soon.

"Brig Commander Sun, you also know the situation in the fifth war zone. The battle situation is at its most critical and dangerous time. Last night, it should be said that the day before yesterday, the Japanese Doihara Division smuggled across the Yellow River in Dongkou, attempting to go south to cut off the Longhai Railway Line and encircle nearly 500,000 troops in our fifth war zone. The situation is already very serious. The division has been appointed as the front commander of the front line to block the Doihara Division this time, and commanded the Western Shandong Corps to block the Japanese army's southward. However, we lacked the troops in the western Shandong area, and we drew a lot of troops to support the fifth war zone. Therefore, the situation is very critical now, and we can only temporarily draw troops from the rear to reinforce. The division sergeant personally sent a telegram to the chairman, suggesting that the left-behind corps of the Honorary First Division form a brigade and quickly rush to western Shandong." Ju Youlin explained seriously and seriously.

Sun Zhongren understood, no wonder the major general brigade commander's hat suddenly fell off. It turned out that the war situation ahead was urgent, plus Leng Feng's recommendation, otherwise he would not have been able to lead troops to battle so soon.

"Brig Commander Sun, the Military Commission only gives us three days. After three days, the troops must set sail towards western Shandong." Wu Xiaoyun said seriously.

"Three days?"

"Three days are a bit nervous, but this time, it should not be difficult to add some soldiers based on the wounded soldiers of the original Tax Police Corps." Ju Youlin said.

Sun Zhongren nodded. If a brigade is reorganized based on the wounded soldiers of the Tax Police Corps, this is indeed the fastest and most effective method, and it can also ensure combat effectiveness.

At least the wounded soldiers of the Tax Police Corps were all veterans who came from the battlefield in Songhu. I won’t talk about their combat experience, they are all their old subordinates, so it’s easier to command.

It's much better than taking over a unit hastily.

"Brig Commander Sun, you can come to me for the equipment of the troops, and I will try my best to satisfy them. In addition, since it is the main brigade, we will equip you with the weapons and equipment of the main brigade. If you have any requirements, just tell me." Zhang Fengxiang is now responsible for the logistics support and contact work of the Honorary First Division. All foreign affairs work of the Honorary First Division is basically through him.

When Sun Zhongren heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. The configuration of the main brigade of the Honorary First Division was no less than the original tax police regiment. Such a unit had the combat effectiveness of the combatants.
