After the arrangements were made, Han Tiansheng sent an order to Zhou Weiguo, who was in charge of commanding the troops to defend the west gate and stop the 14th division's attack.
He told him about his upcoming operation and told him to prepare to lead the defensive forces to counterattack and coordinate with him from the inside and outside.
They would first take down the 14th division, then attack the 5th division.
When Zhou Weiguo received the order, the 14th division was still attacking. Both sides were fighting fiercely at the west and north gates.
In order to boost morale, he stood on the battlefield and shouted at his soldiers,"Brothers, the traveler has arrived with reinforcements. Cheer up and kill these Japanese bastards!”
The moment they heard that Han Tiansheng had returned with reinforcements, the soldiers on the battlefield were all greatly boosted in morale, and their firepower also became stronger.
The enemy troops that were charging were beaten up, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The number of casualties increased.
At the back of the Japanese army, Han Tiansheng led Li Yunlong, Sun Desheng, and Niu Tiezhu to lead 3 battalions and 1,000 elite infantry into action.
Under the guidance of thirty-one advanced tanks, they advanced at full speed towards the rear of the 14th Division.
When they were approaching the 14th Division's artillery position and the division headquarters, some Japanese sentries appeared on both sides of the road.
They were the first to open fire, shooting at the Tiger Regiment tanks in an attempt to intercept them.
However, they were immediately met with the fierce retaliation of the machine guns on the tanks. One by one, they were shot into a sieve.
The sound of gunfire reached the 14th Division's headquarters not far away. Kenji Doihara, who was discussing the military situation with Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano and the others, could not help but be shocked.
He immediately looked up at Sano Tadayoshi and the others and asked in surprise,""What happened? Where do you shoot?"
Sano Tadayoshi was also confused. He immediately ordered a staff officer to go out and check on the situation.
However, five minutes had passed when the adjutant returned.
These five minutes were enough for Han Tiansheng to lead an almost fully mechanized assault force from three kilometers away to the Japanese command center.
Therefore, the Japanese staff officer ran back to the headquarters in a panic.
Seeing him like this, Kenji Dohihara was shocked and asked,""What happened?"
The staff officer did not even bother to salute and said in panic,""General, Chief of Staff, bad news! The reinforcements of the Chinese Army have arrived!”
"Nani?" Both Doihara Kenji and Sano Tadayoshi were shocked. After exchanging glances with Sano Tadayoshi, Doihara Kenji hurriedly asked,""How many enemy reinforcements are there?"
"I'm not sure, but the ones leading the way are a group of very tall tanks. They're heading straight for our command center and artillery positions.
The guards are trying to stop them, but we lack anti-tank weapons, and the tank brigade is covering the attack in front. I'm afraid it's difficult to stop them!" The staff officer adjutant said anxiously.
"Baka!" Dohihara Kenji said with a puzzled expression,""Isn't Han Tiansheng's Tiger Legion surrounded by us in Jinan?
Then where did this Chinese reinforcement with tanks come from?”
However, before Dohihara Kenji could finish his sentence, there were continuous gunshots and explosions outside.
Everyone hurriedly ran out of the division headquarters and looked over.
From the southwest direction of the command center, a group of Chinese tanks that were much larger than their own tanks were charging toward their position.
These tanks fired as they charged.
The machine guns on the vehicles were also firing non-stop. The powerful firepower sent the guards flying. Some of them were sent flying by the powerful tank shells.
They were also riddled with bullets from machine guns.
The worst thing was that there were a large number of cavalry and infantry behind the tanks, charging forward in unison.
Hot bullets whizzed past above and around Doihara Kenji, Sano Tadayoshi, and the others. A few guards could not dodge in time and fell to the ground.
Sano Tadayoshi's face was pale as he hurriedly said to Dohihara Kenji,""General, this place is too dangerous! Let's retreat quickly!"
Although Dohihara Kenji was unwilling, he also knew that the Chinese reinforcements had come too quickly and too fiercely.
It was already too late to mobilize troops to stop them, so he could only nod in agreement to the Chief of Staff's suggestion.
However, before they could retreat, a deafening battle cry came from behind them.
It was Zhou Weiguo and the others who led the troops to launch a counterattack against the enemy in time.
Zhou Weiguo and the rest counterattacked and immediately pinned down the Japanese's attack force.
In a short period of time, the main force of the 14th division would not be able to return to the division headquarters.
Han Tiansheng quickly commanded the troops to split up. He led the tank armored battalion and charged all the way, crushing the firepower and attacking the places where the Japanese were more.
The Japanese suffered heavy casualties and cried for their parents!
Li Yunlong, Sun Desheng, and the rest led the cavalry and elite infantrymen to charge straight at the enemy's artillery positions and the logistics camp.
The Japanese security forces were defeated by the armored tank battalion and the guard battalion. They could not care less about protecting their supplies and artillery.
Without the protection of the infantrymen, the artillery and logistics regiment were like a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of Li Yunlong and the Tiger Regiment.
