"Traveler ~"
In the command center, Gu Yufei quickly walked to Wang Yong An," Regiment 237, Regiment 245, and Regiment 245 have arrived at the designated positions. They're asking when we can attack."
"Yes ~"
Wang Yong 'an nodded, then raised his hand to look at his watch. It was just around one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Send a message to Chen Xinghuai!"
Wang Yong 'an said," Ask about the 35th Regiment."
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Yufei nodded.
It was only one o'clock in the afternoon. If the other three regiments of the Ferocious Tiger Division launched an attack at this time, the Japanese would know that part of the 112th and 143rd regiments would be surrounded. They would definitely try their best to rescue them.
Especially the plane in the sky.
If the Japanese were in a hurry, they could make two more trips before nightfall.
The Ferocious Tiger Division would definitely suffer heavy casualties!
Therefore, the only thing they could do now was to let the 356th Regiment hold on for a while longer. Only at night would the Fierce Tiger Regiment be able to unleash their strongest combat power!
At this moment, Chen Xinghuai had returned from the front line in the command center of the 356th Regiment.
Now, Chen Xinghuai had gradually become a mature commander. He knew that his more important task was to command the entire regiment, not to fight with the soldiers on the front line.
"Guild Leader ~"
A signalman walked over."Telegram from the Master ~"
Chen Xinghuai took it and read it once before saying," Tell Master that our 356th Regiment will hold out until night!”
"At the same time, send orders to the front line. The 3rd Battalion will be replaced by the 2nd Battalion. We will use the time we have to strengthen our position!”
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Xinghuai thought for a moment." How's the construction of the second line of defense going?”
" Regiment Commander," the deputy commander of the 356th Regiment said." The second line of defense has almost been built, but only three large bomb shelters have been built to deal with the Japanese aerial bombs."
"Yes!"
Chen Xinghuai nodded." It's enough. Tell the 3rd Battalion that there's no need to defend the front line. We can give up when the time is right!”
"Not only do we have to defend here, but we also have to have the strength to counterattack when the encirclement is formed!”
"Yes, sir!"
In Yongkegang Airport.
At this time, the vanguard of the 598th Regiment under the 200th Division had already rushed to the airport and began to fight with the Japanese.
The fierce battle made the Japanese team guarding the airport unable to hold on any longer.
After being surrounded by three regiments, the Japanese troops in the airport were only left with a squadron of about 300 people. They were guarding the warehouse and other places in the airport.
As time passed, the Japanese soldiers who were defending the airport gradually could not hold on any longer, and the Japanese soldiers outside Yongkegang Airport rushed to the airport as reinforcements.
"It's four o'clock ~"
Wang Yong 'an looked at his watch and then at the Japanese plane that had just finished bombing." It's finally our turn!”
"Yufei, order the 237th, 245th and 246th regiments to attack!”
"Yes, sir!" Gu Yufei nodded.
"Meng is annoying!"
Wang Yong 'an shouted loudly. Meng Fan heard the voice and ran into the command center.
At this moment, Meng Fanle was already wearing a clean military uniform, and he seemed to be in high spirits.
"How's the rest of the Veterans Battalion?”Wang Yong 'an asked.
"Master, don't worry. The old camp has already been reorganized and is waiting for Master's orders!”Meng Fan said with a smile.
This old camp was a camp formed from scattered cannon fodder. There were only about 300 of them, but the combat power of these 300 people was comparable to a main force camp!
After all, these cannon fodder had been on the battlefield many times, and fighting had become a familiar thing.
"Since you're ready ~"
Wang Yong 'an smiled and said," Let's not talk about anything else. Go to the defense line of the 356th Regiment outside Yongke Ridge and help the 356th Regiment stabilize their position. Also, prepare for the counterattack!”
"Yes, sir!"
Meng Fan nodded.
" Remember," Wang Yong 'an said loudly," Today's battle is a comeback for you veterans. After you win, you can raise your head and say to everyone who looks down on you: You can beat the Japanese!"
"Yes, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Fan's eyes seemed to glow." Master, don't worry. Since you've given us such an opportunity, our old camp will definitely seize it!”
"If we can't defeat the Japanese, we won't come back!”
After saying that, Meng Fan left with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Wang Yong 'an felt awkward.
In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed, and the sky had been completely occupied by darkness.
At this moment, outside the Japanese 112 regiment's position, figures were shuttling through the night.
"Whoosh!"
A signal flare rose into the sky, bringing a dark red luster to the dark night.
"Bang bang bang ~"
"Boom!"
The outer perimeter of the 112th regiment was instantly flooded by a large number of artillery shells. In an instant, the flames wreaked havoc on the entire Japanese camp. A large number of Japanese who were preparing to eat were wailing in the camp.
"Attack!"
Wang Yong 'an gave the order to attack.
The next moment, the Ferocious Tiger Division and the 200th Division began to attack the Japanese 112th Regiment and some of the 143rd Regiment soldiers.
The Japanese realized that they were surrounded by more than 5,000 people.
This time, the Japanese started to panic. A large number of them began to march in the night, preparing to rescue the besieged Japanese.
At the same time, the 200th division in the same era also began to attack, dragging in the rest of the Japanese 55th division!
In the expeditionary army's commanding officer's office.
Du Ming should have been happy when he saw the formation of the encirclement and the gradual reduction of the living space of the Japanese. However, he couldn't be happy at this moment.
This was because the Japanese 56th Division's vanguard had already arrived at the periphery of Tonggu from the east. Fortunately, the vanguard of the new 22nd Division had also arrived from the north.
In an instant, both sides began a fierce battle at Dongyang Station on the north side of Tonggu. Neither side was willing to show the slightest fear.
The Japanese wanted to get rid of the enemies in front of them and save the 55th division, while the new 22nd division wanted to stop the enemies.
At this moment, the center of the battlefield had changed from Yongkegang Airport in the southwest of Tonggu to Dongyang Station in the northeast.
This place became the key to the battle!
At this time, the Japanese had the advantage. After all, the newly formed 22nd Division was light and simple. The entire division only had 11,000 combat personnel, while the Japanese's 56th Division had more than 20,000 people.
The difference in numbers was close to a generation, so how could Du Ming and the command post be happy?
