"Godrien? Why is he here?"

When Lu Mingxuan learned that Guderian had arrived at the Shandong battlefield, he was very surprised.

This is the father of German armored soldiers and the founder of Blitzkrieg. He is the real founder of the German armored forces and has an unparalleled and important position in the history of human wars.

"Since he wants to command the battle, let him try it. If necessary, you can hand over the 189th Division to him for command."

Lu Mingxuan thought for a while and said.

This is a truly capable person. He wanted to see what kind of record he could achieve if Guderian was asked to command the 189th Division.

At this moment, a messenger rushed in.

"Report to the Chief, the urgent telegram from Xuzhou."

Lu Mingxuan quickly received the telegram and read it carefully.

After reading it, he couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that the Japanese mobilized the forces of four divisions and then divided into three groups to launch an attack on Xuzhou.

However, this is different from the history he remembers. It seems a few days earlier than in history. It seems that history has left its original track due to his influence.

However, he was not worried about the war situation in the south. The current ** is many times stronger than in history.

Especially the troops in the Fifth War Zone, so many German armed divisions were equipped with real strong troops.

In addition, the 9th Division, the 13th Division and the 6th Division were severely injured when they were in Nanjing. Many of the real veterans died in that battle.

Many of these are now reserves supplemented by Japan, and their combat effectiveness is simply incomparable to previous veterans.

He believed that there was no problem with resisting these Japanese troops with the strength of the Fifth War Zone.

"I see."

Lu Mingxuan said lightly.

Linyi is an important military town in southern Shandong and a barrier in the northeast of Xuzhou. It is an important stronghold on the right wing of the 5th War Zone. It is Xin'an Town in Nantong now Xinyi. Taierzhuang, Zaozhuang, Yi County, Beitongfei County, Sishui, Mengyin, northwest, Xin

Tai, Ju County, Zhucheng, and Rizhao in the northeast, so the gains and losses in Linyi affect the overall situation, and is related to the safety of the three major railway lines, Longhai, Jinpu and Jiaoji.

On April 19, in order to regain this important town in southern Shandong, the 98th Army and the 11th Army launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in Linyi.

Yitang Town, on the position of the 68th Regiment of the Third Division.

As soon as the sky was dawn, a large number of shells continued to land in Yitang Town, and then a huge explosion occurred.

One house after another was blown up, and the Japanese hidden inside were blown to death.

Even some Japanese hiding in anti-cannon holes were not spared because the enemy dispatched large-caliber heavy artillery of more than 200 mm.

These heavy artillery showed amazing power in the shelling. The powerful shock wave and shrapnel flying around made all the Japanese frightened.

No Japanese dared to underestimate the fierce bombardment of these heavy artillery. All they could do was pray to Amaterasu and pray that the bomb would not fall beside them.

In a deep underground anti-cannon hole, Colonel Kato Yohei, the captain of the 68th Regiment, walked around anxiously.

The enemy's shelling has lasted for a full hour. Now it must have become a ruin. The fortifications and trenches should have been completely bombarded by this shelling.

Without the help of these fortifications, how could they resist the enemy's attack?

When he thought of this, he felt extremely irritated.

At this moment, he felt the explosion above his head finally stop.

"Quickly, inform all soldiers to enter the position immediately."

Kato Yahei said immediately.

"Hi!"

After receiving Kato's order, the Japanese walked out of the anti-cannon hole.

But when they saw the scene in front of them, they looked stunned.

I saw that the entire Yitang Town had been barred into a flat land, so where did they go to find their own positions?

But the boss's orders had to be implemented. They all found a ruin or a crater and lay down, and then prepared to face the enemy's attack.

At this moment, a large amount of orange-red light from a position in the distance suddenly rose into the air, and then flew towards this side with a roar.

Seeing this, almost all the Japanese were so scared that their souls were rising.

They knew that this was a very powerful heavy artillery from the enemy. Every time the volley of such heavy artillery fired, it would cause them extremely heavy damage.

"Baga! Despicable Chinese! Let's run away!"

A Japanese squadron leader said loudly, and after that, he rolled and crawled towards the anti-aircraft hole.

But no matter how fast they are, they are not as fast as rockets. The dense rockets landed on Yitang Town, turning Yitang Town into a sea of ​​fire again.

Seeing all this, Kato Yasuhira's face turned extremely pale, and then she roared wildly:

"Bastard! These damn bastards!"

At this moment, tanks appeared in the wheat fields in the distance, and these tanks formed a series of turbulent torrents rolling towards this side.

Looking at these tanks, Kato Yasuhira's face became extremely solemn.

"Notify all troops to prepare for the battle."

"Hi!"

On the walls of Linyi, Seishiro Sakagaki, Jin Fujita, Takeshiko Angang and Masaki Ito are all surrounded by a fat Japanese man with the rank of lieutenant general.

This lieutenant general is the commander of the First Army of the North China Front Army. In order to better command the Japanese troops in Linyi, Tojo Hideki sent Kazuki Kiyoshi here to serve as the supreme commander of the Japanese army.

At this time, they all looked worried. They knew that the enemy must have used a large number of heavy artillery, and there were many heavy artillery above 200 mm.

Faced with the fierce shelling of these heavy artillery, it was almost impossible for those peripheral troops to withstand the enemy's attack.

At this moment, a messenger ran over.

"The report division commander, Major General Saege, Colonel Kato Yoshihiro, Colonel Kato Yoshihiro, Colonel Kato Yoshihiro, Colonel Nagafukui Hirotaro sent a telegram for help almost at the same time. The enemy not only used a large number of heavy artillery to bombard their positions violently,

And a large number of tanks were dispatched, and they asked our artillery to suppress the enemy's artillery and send troops to provide tactical guidance to them."

"I see."

Xiangyue Qingsi waved his hand and said.

"Everyone, what do you mean?"

Xiangyue Qingsi turned around and said to the division commanders.

"Let them retreat. The enemy's artillery fire has too long range and a large caliber, so our cannons are no match for them at all."

Seishiro Itagaki said with a serious expression.

"That's right, and the enemy's bombers are very powerful. Once our artillery positions are discovered by the enemy, they will be bombed violently by enemy planes, and the losses will be even greater at that time."

Angang Wuchen also agreed.

He fought against Itagaki Seishiro and the 98th Army several times, so he still knows quite well about the 98th Army. Once the 98th Army has fully opened fire, the Japanese troops on the periphery will not be able to stop them at all.

"It's better to let them retreat to Linyi City. Only street fighting can cause the greatest damage to the 98th Army."

Seishiro Itagaki said.

After hearing their words, Kishi Katsuki couldn't help but frown.

Why do they all regard the enemy as terrible? They let the troops retreat as soon as they started fighting. Is the 98th Army really that powerful?

Seeing Xiangyue Qingsi's dissatisfied expression, everyone immediately knew what he was thinking, so Angang Wuchen hurriedly said: "Commander, the 98th Army is completely different from the ordinary **. Their artillery is very powerful, and with those powers

For powerful tanks, I think it’s better for us to give up the outer positions.”

After hearing their words, Kishi Katsuki was still hesitant.

Although he knew what they said made sense, this was his first battle here. He was about to withdraw his troops as soon as the battle started, which made him stand his face.

At this moment, a messenger ran over in panic.

"Report to the Commander Commander, Colonel Kawakawa, the captain of the 3rd United Nations League, sent an urgent telegram for assistance. The enemy's tanks have penetrated their defense and launched an attack on the depth of our army. He hopes that Commander, you can send troops immediately.

Support, otherwise they wouldn't be able to support it."

"Bagaya Road! Why did they lose their position so quickly? That Chuan Bingmi deserves to die!"

After hearing his words, Xiangyue Kiyoshi couldn't help but say furiously.

"Your Excellency Commander, please inform the peripheral troops to withdraw immediately, otherwise their retreat will be cut off."

At this time, Seishiro Itagaki said again.

At this time, Xiangyue Qingsi finally realized his mistake and hurriedly said:

"I inform all peripheral troops to retreat to Linyi City immediately. Today I will fight a street battle with the 98th Army."
Chapter completed!
