Even though it was not the first time that a War Hero had appeared, Han Tiansheng was still excited that Li Yunlong had appeared.
However, he didn't immediately take out Li Yun Long and the 1,000 elite soldiers.
Instead, he calmed down and led his troops to continue advancing toward Jinan at full speed.
Good steel was used on the blade. Han Tiansheng planned to wait until they reached Jinan before extracting them and directly participating in the battle.
……
In Jinan, the 14th division had already arrived due to the short distance.
As for the cavalry and tanks of the 5th division, because they were sent to Jining, their speed was slightly slower.
After Kenji Dohihara led his troops to the west of Jinan City, he first contacted Seishiro Itagaki.
Originally, they had planned to surround the city and wait for Itagaki Seishiro to arrive with the 5th division. After daybreak, their air force fighters would be able to provide support before attacking.
However, Itagaki Seishiro advised him to attack without stopping.
The reason was simple. They couldn't give the defenders in the city a chance to catch their breath. They had to take advantage of the moment when the Tiger Legion had yet to gain a stable footing and defeat them with a swift and fierce attack to win this counterattack.
It had to be said that in terms of military commanding ability, Itagaki Seishiro was much more outstanding than Doihara Kenji.
Kenji Doihara understood this as well, so he decisively adopted Itagaki Seishiro's suggestion.
He immediately ordered his troops to launch a fierce attack on Jinan from the west and north of the city.
Although it was late at night, the Japanese army could not get the support of the air force.
However, the 14th division had an artillery regiment equipped with 36 70 Mountain Cannons and a dozen Type 95 tanks.
Kenji Doihara organized the heavy firepower and bombarded the Tiger Regiment's position in the west of the city. He covered their infantrymen and launched the main attack from the west gate.
At that time, the Tiger Regiment had more than 8,000 soldiers in Jinan, but more than 50% of them were recruits recruited in Jinan.
Therefore, there were only about 4,000 soldiers who could fight.
However, among these 4,000 people, nearly 3,000 of them were all-rounded soldiers that Han Tiansheng had dropped. Their tactical coordination and individual combat ability were the strongest in the world.
Coupled with the advanced weapons and equipment, it was definitely not a problem for him to fight against ten people.
Therefore, with these 3,000 all-rounded soldiers as the backbone of the force.
The Tiger Regiment was still very strong, and even though the 14th Regiment's attacks were fierce, they were repelled time and time again.
From early morning to dawn, the 14th division had failed to attack, and were held back by the Tiger Regiment's city defense.
At 7 am, Itagaki Seishiro led the main force of the 5th division and immediately launched a fierce attack from the east gate of Jinan and the southeast direction with two infantry regiments.
The addition of the 5th division put a lot of pressure on the remaining Tiger Regiment.
Fortunately, Long Wenzhang and Zhou Weiguo, two excellent commanders who could be said to be all-rounded, were in charge.
The four thousand soldiers fought with their lives and fought with the fifty thousand elites of the Japanese army.
As the battle progressed, the 5th and 14th divisions sent more and more troops into the battle.
By 9 AM, six out of the eight main infantry regiments of the two divisions had already been deployed.
Each division only had one infantry regiment left as a reserve, and they were responsible for guarding the artillery positions and division headquarters.
At 9:05, Han Tiansheng finally returned to Jinan with the reinforcements from the 3rd Battalion.
On the way here, Han Tiansheng had already learned about the situation outside Jinan through the radio station, as well as the deployment of the enemy and the enemy.
Therefore, Han Tiansheng had made a plan in advance.
He first led his troops to a forest five kilometers southwest of the city and stopped to rest. Then, he took out Li Yun Long and the 1,000 elite soldiers.
Two minutes later, Li Yunlong, who was carrying a shell gun at his waist and a big blade in his hand, led the 1,000 elite soldiers to Han Tiansheng's horse.
He stood up straight and saluted Han Tiansheng,""This humble servant Li Yunlong has been ordered to report! Please instruct me!"
Han Tiansheng sized up Li Yunlong and said,""Li Yun Long, I am appointing you as the commander of the 3rd Regiment of the Tiger Legion. These 1,000 elite soldiers will be under your command! Follow me to destroy the enemy's artillery position first. Do you dare to go?”
"His head fell off, and there's a bowl-sized scar! Why wouldn't I dare?" "Give the order, sir!" Li Yunlong said sternly.”
" Very good!" Han Tiansheng nodded and praised,""According to the report of the remaining troops, only the 14th division had armored units and their firepower was stronger.
Therefore, I plan to take advantage of the enemy's attack on Jinan and take their retreat route to take out the 14th division first!
In a while, I will personally lead the tank battalion to take the lead. The cavalry battalion, guard battalion, and Li Yunlong will follow behind.
The armored battalion will be responsible for dealing with the Japanese tanks and machine guns. You will be responsible for destroying the enemy's artillery positions and the surrounding Japanese reserves.
After defeating the 14th division, we will move to the east gate and attack the 5th division!
In this battle, either the enemy dies or I die! Everyone had to attack, attack, and attack again until the enemy was completely defeated!
Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Li Yunlong, Sun Desheng, Niu Tiezhu, and the others agreed.
