At the critical moment when Lao Chen, who was at the front, was about to take his brothers to catch up with the Kuomintang recalcitrant tanks, suddenly a group of men rushed over from the flank of the position, only to see them wearing the gray cloth uniforms of the New Fourth Army, each with a big knife and rifle in their hands, under the leadership of a chubby cadre of the New Fourth Army, blowing the trumpet of the charge, shouting and rushing towards the Kuomintang recalcitrant tanks and soldiers on the opposite side This rushing team was extremely ferocious, so that the Kuomintang recalcitrant troops in front of those positions could not parry for a while, and they retreated to the rear one after another, seeing that Lao Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat to those brothers under him: "Brothers, the brothers of the independent brigade have arrived, let's rush forward and drive the enemy off the position" The brothers on the position rushed out of the trenches one after another, rushing towards the panicked recalcitrant army on the opposite side, and the recalcitrant soldiers who rushed over at this moment had already lost the fighting spirit just now, and hurriedly turned around and ran to the back, completely ignoring the strict orders of the officers of the overseer team behind to stop and shout, especially the American-made tanks of the recalcitrant army, as soon as they saw that the machine gun of the overseer team behind them was facing their side, they unceremoniously drove full horsepower and crashed into the formation of the overseer team.
When the soldiers of the recalcitrant army saw that the tanks were about to collide, they were so frightened that they immediately dropped those machine guns and hurriedly ran to the back, and the recalcitrant army was in a big disorder, so angry that Master Qian scolded the officers under him, and ordered the teams on the left and right flanks to rush up quickly and surround the New Fourth Army on the opposite side, he did not believe it, and his 18th Division, with a total strength of tens of thousands, could not capture the position of the New Fourth Army garrisoned by only one regiment on the opposite side Zhou Wu, who was in the command post in the back, received the situation on the front position, and learned that the fat man's regiment and Huang Shuisheng's spy group had rushed to the city of Huai'an, so he hurriedly ordered the fat man by radio: "Lao Liu, you withdraw immediately, don't chase the enemy, you cooperate with Lao Chen and them, and lead the team of the 18th Division to Hubin Town on the shore of Hongze Lake, where we have already set up many tables and banquets, waiting for the Qian someone opposite to come to the banquet and pay attention to the play to be like."
The fat man immediately ordered his brothers to stop the pursuit, retreated on the spot, and ran into Lao Chen and them, Lao Chen was very excited, grabbed the fat man's hand and said to him: "Lao Liu, you came really timely this time, if you come a little late, maybe my bones will have to be left here, thank you, I will report later, what does Brigade Commander Zhou say" "The brigade wants us to stop the pursuit immediately, deliberately show weakness and the recalcitrant army, and lead them to the lakeside town on the shore of Hongze Lake, where he has prepared a banquet and waits for the recalcitrant army on the opposite side to come to the banquet."
The fat man said to Lao Chen.
"Haha, Brigade Commander Zhou is really a clever plan, it is best to surround the recalcitrant army in Hubin Town, once the recalcitrant army team is lured by us, then they have no way to escape, except for jumping off Hongze Lake, I think they only have to raise their hands to our Jiangbei New Fourth Army to surrender The way to go, this method is good, the 18th Division on the opposite side thinks that it is great to be fully American-style, and it is still good for you to look good when you run here" Old Chen said to Liu Fatzi, this time fortunately, the fat man came, Otherwise, he would have to personally go into battle and face to face with those Kuomintang recalcitrant troops attacking from the opposite side.
"What kind of people are we in the brigade, I think that when the battlefield in Shanghai and Nanjing was in the past, even the little Japanese devils who were in the limelight were afraid of three points, these Kuomintang recalcitrant troops don't look at them as well-armed, better than the little devils, and they were neatly dressed, but in fact, they were a group of embroidered pillows and rotten straw, didn't you see it just now, our group and aquatic brothers rushed so much, and they rushed back, the brigade seat is actually redundant, why bother to set up a banquet over there in Lakeside Town, I want my meaning, directly put the troops here, It's not enough to have a good fight with them, but it's not over, but what else is there to lure the enemy in" The fat man is always anxious, everything has his reason, and the task Zhou Wu's move is redundant, according to his wishes, he directly pulled up all the teams at hand, and directly caught up with the recalcitrant army on the opposite side here.
"Ah, Lao Liu, this is that you are too anxious, I think your brigade commander's method is still quite reliable, and I don't know what's going on, those Kuomintang recalcitrant soldiers see the little Japanese devils running faster than anyone else, but if they fight with our New Fourth Army, they will be fucking angry again, and I don't know what those miscellaneous people think, thinking that our New Fourth Army is poor and has no weapons and ammunition, so it is good to bully after all, those recalcitrant troops have a total of thirty or forty thousand people, and our number is about the same as theirs, Without the help of geographical advantages, I estimate that it will be very difficult to eat the 18th Division, and that Qian is not a fool, I heard that he still has a relationship with your 79th Army Independent Brigade on the Shanghai battlefield in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, isn't it" Lao Chen used to work underground in Shanghai, and he knew that this Qian Someone's 18th Division had a holiday with Zhou Wu's 79th Army Independent Brigade at that time during the Battle of Songhu, so he asked the fat man.
"Ah, it turned out to be the guy surnamed Qian, I know, when their eighteenth division was surrounded by devil troops, it was our independent brigade that rushed into the devil encirclement and fished them out, but this guy not only did not appreciate it, but later he also said bad things about our seventy-ninth army, after the fall of Shanghai, their eighteenth division was the first team to escape, Lao Jiang not only did not punish them, but also reorganized them, speaking of this, although seven or eight years have passed, but still feel angry, Thanks to the good temper of our brigade seat and the old army commander, if we were to replace me, we would have fallen out with them a long time ago.
Lao Chen, let's not let go of that kid this time, let's settle the new account and old account with him, and destroy this girl" The fat man heard that the eighteenth division that came from the opposite side was the eighteenth division that was in the Songhu battlefield before and did not save himself, so he was angry at that time, and hurriedly said to Lao Chen.
"Okay, that's what I mean, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to do this time, after all, they are numerous, well-armed, I don't think they can eat them for a while, let's not this letter blindly, or carry out the task of luring the enemy, and lead the enemy to the edge of Hongze Lake."
Lao Chen reminded the fat man.
The fat man nodded immediately, and just as he was about to leave, he heard a sharp whistling sound above his head, and the fat man's ears were extremely bright, and he knew that the recalcitrant army on the opposite side had opened fire, and shouted at Lao Chen: "Lie down" As soon as the words fell, a shell exploded two hundred meters behind Lao Chen, and before the fat man could get up, the large-caliber shells of the stubborn army had fallen on the surrounding positions, and the explosions came one after another, and the rising smoke went straight into the sky, covering the sky on this side of the position, and the firelight was mixed with flying shrapnel and mudstone, which instantly took the lives of several brothers who had no time to dodge, and the brothers on the position immediately quickly hid in the trenches, waiting for the shelling to pass, The Kuomintang recalcitrant troops again launched a fierce assault on the position.
The shells are still falling, the explosions are endless, the earth seems to be trembling constantly, the fat man is dodging the shelling, and scolding in his mouth: "Damn the miscellaneous, if only the little devil was so fierce, just know how to fight in the nest, deal with your own people, if I don't give you some color today, I won't be surnamed Liu."
The long artillery bombardment finally stopped, and before the fat man and Lao Chen could climb out of the dirt pile, the large forces on the left and right flanks of the 18th Division on the opposite side had formed a straggler attack formation, spreading towards the position all over the mountains on a flat land, looking from a distance, like a large area of earthy yellow locusts, slowly spreading towards Lao Chen's position, several American-made tanks took the lead, more than a dozen armored vehicles were behind, and behind were a large number of Kuomintang recalcitrant infantry, look at this posture, Qian has already shown all the trump cards in his hand, the little Japanese devils who invaded the country have not been driven out, on the edge of Hongze Lake, under the city of Huai'an, a large-scale conflict between the Kuomintang recalcitrant army and the Jiangbei New Fourth Army is about to be staged, at this moment in Nanjing City because the New Fourth Army was snatched to load the fleet shipped to Japan and was reprimanded by the Japanese Army base camp Commander Hata Shunroku does not know how to feel, he must be sighing, why didn't this big war with the New Fourth Army start a few years earlier, to the present, The imperial army is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river itself is difficult to protect, even if there is a heart to insert a foot when the two armies are facing each other, but there is really no soldier to send at hand, if there are troops, they will not be in a hurry to transfer the devils of Huai'an City to other places to garrison, those Wang puppet army is already impossible to believe, it is unrealistic for them to work for the imperial army now, they can not be in a hurry to find a new backer at the moment It is already very good, hey, the world is really unpredictable, the situation is pressing, I think how majestic and invincible our Imperial Japanese Army was on the battlefield of China back then, but now it is powerless, and it is destined to be a spectator in this Kuomintang-Communist war, and it is also a spectator who has to get out of here at any time.
In Northeast Manchuria, the Soviet army was ready to move, and the Kwantung Army had all been mobilized to prepare for the attack of the Soviet army, but those friends of Shunroku Hatahata who served in the Kwantung Army revealed that the situation of their Kwantung Army was even worse, and the Soviets were holding back their grievances, and they wanted to avenge the defeat of Japan in the Russo-Japanese War 40 years ago, or Northeast Manchuria would not go to war, and once the war started, the Kwantung Army alone would not be able to resist the attack of the Soviet army by relying on more than 700,000 troops.
Six years ago, the Imperial Army fought with the Soviet army in the steppes of Normenhan, the only armored division in Japan was completely annihilated, and three infantry divisions were disabled two and a half times, six years later, the Soviet army Kwantung Army, which was able to resist the remnants of the German Nazis, felt very hopeless and pessimistic, thinking that he had fought in the Chinese battlefield for so many years, and had fought in many places, and the army was victorious and defeated, but he had never panicked as much as he is now, and it seemed that the Great Japanese Empire was really about to collapse t1706231537:
