Early in the morning of May 23, Leng Yan, who had been preparing for a day, led his two regiments to advance to Suqian with the assistance of the tank brigade.
On the "enemy attack" Japanese position, the Japanese soldiers looked at the tanks rushing towards them and shouted loudly, reminding others to hide.
But when the Japanese withdrew, they didn't expect at all that the independent division would take the initiative to attack them, but they were a little helpless, as if, this is really no way, since they have moved, they must have the consciousness of being counterattacked.
"Your Excellency, the Chinese are attacking, and the first line of defense on the front line has been lost," a Japanese soldier said to the Japanese army, "According to the investigation, the strength of the Chinese is not large, but the number of tanks is extremely large, and our shells are not enough to resist the tanks of China." ” "Baga" Japanese army Dazuo was helpless, and said indignantly, "Immediately sort out the situation on the front line and send it to the division commander to request tactical guidance" "Hi" "At the same time, order the warriors on the front line to resist as much as possible, and if they really can't resist, then turn to the rear."
"Hi" In the previous attack on the independent division, their losses were not small, but it was also a loss that for this attack, there were additional troops on the base camp, otherwise, they would have packed up their things and run away now.
The Japanese army Dazuo frowned, looking at his own map, the independent division is like a bamboo, and the front line is basically unable to resist, so I am afraid that it will soon reach the city of Suqian.
Take a long breath and then ask for help.
Thanks to the fact that Suqian is next to Xuzhou and Lianyungang, he is a little more relieved, otherwise, he will be isolated Xuzhou, the command of the Japanese army.
"Nani Independent Division actually plans to attack Suqian" A Japanese lieutenant general frowned and was shocked, "How many troops" "According to what has been found so far, the strength of 2 regiments plus more than 100 tanks" "Are you kidding to attack Suqian like this?"
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, that's what the telegram says" "Baga asked them to defend Suqian, and as soon as possible to find out the strength of the independent division with such a small number of troops, if they can't hold it, then there is no need to exist" The Japanese lieutenant general said coldly, only such a small number of troops, and then asked for tactical guidance "Hi" Seeing the herald soldiers walking out, the Japanese lieutenant general looked at the map, Suqian, "Why would the independent division fight Suqian, this is unreasonable." ” "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, I also feel that it is unreasonable that Suqian is located between Xuzhou and Lianyungang, once something happens, we can support you at any time, I feel that this may be a ploy of an independent division."
"What ploy do you mean?"
"Hey, the people of China like to call it a siege point to send reinforcements" The Japanese lieutenant general raised his eyebrows, his fingers tapping on the table, thinking about the possibility of encircling the point to send reinforcements.
"However, I think that it is also possible that the generals under the independent division sent troops privately, first, we have not received any information about the independent division going to attack Suqian, second, the independent division Zhou Weiguo and others were assassinated, and it is understandable that the generals under the division sent troops in anger."
A major general expressed his opinion.
"You mean, the independent division is still in chaos" The Japanese lieutenant general squinted his eyes, in fact, it is not unreasonable, although the independent division fought a beautiful battle of annihilation in the Cao County area, but in other aspects, at least, he did not feel that the independent division had a huge advantage, because in terms of battle losses, the two sides are not much different, according to the style of the previous independent division, I am afraid they will be beaten very badly.
"Hi" The Japanese major general nodded, "plus the current attack, it seems that with such a small number of troops, I'm afraid they are sending troops without authorization."
"You mean, we can eat this part of the troops" The Japanese lieutenant general did not raise his head, but continued to look at the map, thinking about the possibility, if it is really an unauthorized dispatch of troops and no backup, then, eating this part, it is not impossible If it can really be eaten, then their division will become a great hero, you know, this time it consumed so much materials and manpower to attack the independent division, and in addition to not finishing an inch, two divisions were annihilated, which is really embarrassing.
If he can eat this part of the independent division, then the contrast is too obvious "Hi I believe that as long as the design is good, if there is only this part of the force, it should be no problem to eat it," the Japanese major general said.
"Yo Xi, come, let's discuss" The Japanese lieutenant general nodded, feeling that what the chief of staff said was also very reasonable, however, the more they thought about it, the closer they came to the trap.
"The devil will really be fooled" Tang Shan took the binoculars, squinted his eyes, and said to himself, he is still in Shandong, and he has not left the border, but as soon as he receives the news, he will immediately rush over with people "Brigade seat, it should be, after all, Brigade Commander Leng and Brigade Commander Lei both said they would."
Tang San touched his chin, "Probably, it's best if the devil can be fooled, if you don't be fooled, then we are tough, and we have to be strong."
"Hmm."
"Lvza, we have more than ten miles to go, and we will arrive at Suqian" Leng Yan nodded, this time he led two regiments to assault, fully mechanized operation, the tank brigade opened the way in front, and the soldiers in the rear followed directly, once the gap was opened, they would rush forward.
The devil was also frightened, and the courage was still whatever, and the resistance was not too strong.
After thinking about it for a while, Leng Yan understood that the previous record in Cao County was really terrifying to the devils, or rather, the upper echelons of the devils did not want the Japanese soldiers to clash with the independent division.
The devils are overwhelmed in Southeast Asia, two divisions and regiments, they can do a lot of things, and it is better to transport troops to Southeast Asia than to lose on the Chinese side.
I'm afraid that's what the devil thinks.
However, even if this is the devil's idea, now, he uses himself and two regiments and part of the tank brigade as bait, and he does not believe that the devil will not be fooled.
He discussed with Lei Dingtian and believed that in such a situation, if the devil had the opportunity to eat the two regiments of the independent division and part of the tank brigade, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
As for whether the devil believes it or not, of course, it is credible.
Why was Zhou Weiguo, the commander of the Independent Division, assassinated by the Japanese?
The entire independent division, in this Japanese attack, did not have a too bright performance, except for the other sides of Cao County, even the casualty ratio was not much different from the devil, that is to say, the overall performance of the independent division was not as good as before, if it was placed in the past Of course, such a situation was deliberately created by Zhou Weiguo, it can't, the independent division has him, Zhou Weiguo and without him, Zhou Weiguo, the situation is still the same, otherwise how can the devil believe that the independent division has no Zhou Weiguo, and how can he rest assured that he will attack boldly:
