When the war in Tengxian started, Leng Feng knew that he could not stay in Wuhan anymore, but in the document orders given by Jiang Jiang, he would not leave until at least the 15th.

In other words, he has to stay in Wuhan for at least three days.

In three days, can Tengxian hold on for three days?

He had no idea that although he had already used his own way to enhance the strength of the Sichuan Army in Shuitou County, the Japanese army's preparations for the southward move this time were more fully prepared.

Especially after another month of rest, the combat effectiveness will become unprecedentedly powerful.

Leng Feng believed that the Sichuan Army could do it. Historically, the Sichuan Army fought against Teng County with almost half of the casualties, but he also successfully defended Teng County for four and a half days, and bought time for the rear to mobilize troops to the Xuzhou area.

In just a few words on the battle report, there were hundreds of casualties on the battlefield, shells were like rain, and blood was flying everywhere...

"The division seats, the Japanese army's frontal attack was frustrated. After our army contracted its defense line, it increased the alert on the flanks. However, the Japanese army dispatched aircraft bombing, artillery and tanks. The Sichuan army suffered a lot of casualties, and General Sun Zhen has already visited the front line in person."

"Can the Japanese army in Jiangnan be in motion?"

"The jungle wolf team reported that the Japanese army was mobilizing ships, and several naval warships also entered the Yangtze River waterway to cruise. In addition, the Shanghai Military Control Commission report mobilized a large number of combat materials from Japan and had arrived in Shanghai. The batch of materials was huge, but the specific quantity was unknown. The Japanese strictly protected them, and there was no detailed information at present."

"It seems that Shinroku Hata is about to take action. Have you informed the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone?"

"It has been reported in detail."

"Okay, I understand. You can go down first. If there is news from the front line, report it immediately."

"yes!"

Outside Teng County, the main position of the Bianhe River.

"Hey, hey, what do you say, I can't hear clearly..."

"Chairman Jiang ordered that you should hold on for at least three days. Yes, three days, please don't worry, commander-in-chief, we have the confidence to hold on for three days!"

"Teacher, the Japanese artillery fire was too fierce, and the brothers suffered too much casualties, so they could hardly bear it!"

"Bastard, you have to take it even if you can't stand it. The commander-in-chief gave the death order. The person is in the position. If we want to avoid being looked down upon by others, we have to fight the Japanese devils!" Chen Li, the commander of the 127th Division, grabbed the collar of the lieutenant colonel under his command and slapped him to the ground.

Dodol...

Another wave of attacks by the Japanese army began, and shells fell on the positions like raindrops.

"Quick, enter the bunker, enter the bunker..."

The position was soon flooded by the explosion. Sichuan soldiers who had no time to hide in the bunker were blown away by blood. Fortunately, they built semi-underground fortifications in advance and built enough underground air raid shelters, otherwise there would be greater casualties.

Buzz...

The planes in the sky came again. In this wave, at least thirty planes bombed the Sichuan Army's front-line positions one after another and dived and scattered. Blood flowers splattered, and young lives continued to wither.

Even though Leng Feng tried hard to replenish the two regiments of the Sichuan Army, for a unit of 20,000 people, it was still a cup of water to get some money.

The weapons in their hands were all very old, and some even used old guns from the Qing Dynasty. Not only did the rifle be smoothed, they couldn't even hit them far, let alone accurate.

Heavy machine guns are also old-fashioned, so they are not a little bit slut. If they don’t have guns, they can only swing a big blade to fight with the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat.

A blasting team went up and attacked three times in a row. Nine people were sacrificed to blow up a tank. The Japanese army that followed the tank to charge up came up and knocked everyone down instantly.

Facing the Japanese soldiers armed to the teeth, the Sichuan Army really took advantage of their names this time.

"use,……"

"Sun. You immortal Banban, Japanese devils, I'm here..." Holding three or four, a wounded Sichuan soldier rushed towards a charge chariot of the Japanese army.

Huh, it broke and a huge fire ignited. The Japanese chariot suddenly turned into a ball of fire and continued to advance for more than ten meters. The Japanese soldiers inside could not bear the roasting of the fire and jumped out of it.

The chariot exploded and turned into a pile of scrap iron.

Seeing this scene, the Sichuan Army officers and soldiers immediately cheered loudly, and their fighting spirit suddenly increased.

The burning products were better than grenades to deal with Japanese tanks. The officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army tasted the sweetness in actual combat and formed suicide squads one after another. During the Japanese charge, they adopted the tactic of throwing dense burning products against Japanese tanks.

The damage effect was very good. Without targeting tactics, the Japanese army actually lost a squadron's chariot.

The commander of the 10th Division, who was personally directing and supervising the battle, saw this scene from the telescope, and his lips couldn't help but twitch.

This is a squadron's chariot, and the war has just begun. If Teng County cannot be captured as soon as possible, how much will the losses be below?

"Is this the new Chinese army's weapon that appeared in the Nanjing Battle?"

"Yes, they call it!" Chief of Staff Bugu said with his body.

"Send the order and get one back and study it." Isotani Ryosuke ordered.

"Hayi!"

A mere decision to stop the Japanese army from attacking. At most, it is to be careful when the chariot charges and not give the other party a chance to get closer.

In fact, the effect of field offense and defense is not great. Unless the enemy is not prepared, once they are prepared, they will not have much effect. On the contrary, the use of damage in street combat is great. In addition to attacking military equipment, it is also not weak to ordinary infantry.

The sound of killing on the front battlefield for more than ten miles was deafening, the explosion was deafening, and the fires soared into the sky. The trees around had already been blown up and fell, and only a little remaining green was scorched by the smoke and turned yellow. The burning fire rolled up the smoke and rushed straight into the sky. The bodies of the troops of both sides were piled up on the positions, one after another, and there was no time to collect the corpses. The scene was like purgatory.

The last sun from the sky above the sun rises into the horizon, thousands of Japanese troops launched more than a dozen charges under the cover of planes, cannons and tanks, and the repeated battles for positions failed to break through the opponent's main position.

This made the arrogant commander of the 10th Japanese Division, Ryosuke Isotani, furious.

"Silly pigs! A bunch of stupid pigs! One day, I haven't broken through the first line of defense of the Chinese army and threw it into the face of the Imperial Japanese army. Do you know who the opponent is? Your opponent is a group of miscellaneous troops, a group of bad troops that no one wants. You actually lost to such an opponent. Shame! Shame! Isotani Ryosuke roared angrily, and his attack was frustrated on the first day, but he still caught the opponent off guard.

"Teacher Commander, the squadron opposite us is a local unit. According to the information, their number is the 22nd Army. The commander is Deng Xihou, but another person who is commanding the battle with our army. This person is Wang Zhizhong, and he is a division commander of the 22nd Army."

"This person has studied in military academy, has he stayed in school?"

"According to the information we have, this person only has junior high school education. He studied in the Army Primary School for a few days and studied at the Sichuan Army Officer School. He has no experience in studying abroad, but he is brave and good at fighting and has long been famous among the Sichuan Army!"

Ryosuke Isotani was silent. If he continued to fight like this, he would never take Fuji Prefecture in another three or five days. This would never be allowed.

Once the opponent is transferred to Xuzhou, it will be much more difficult to capture Xuzhou's strategic goal.

We must find a way to make a quick breakthrough!

Ryosuke Isotani remembered the bet he made with Seishiro Itagaki in front of the Second Army Commander Nishioji in Jinan, who would take Xuzhou first and hold the whip for the other party.

At this time, the head of the 18th Brigade, Takehei Se: "Secretary Commander, judging by the combat capabilities of our army, the Chinese army in front of us is definitely not a bad army, but a very tenacious and well-organized army. My 10th Division has entered China and advanced all the way, and is invincible. Now I have encountered a decent opponent. Please give me another chance to the 18th Brigade, and I will definitely be able to defeat them!"

Ryosuke Isotani nodded with satisfaction: "This is like an emperor."

This is, the head of the 33rd Brigade, Seya Kit, who was standing aside, said slowly: "Secretary Commander, our combat goal is to conquer Xuzhou, cut off the retreat of the Chinese army in East China, and capture them all in one place. Although the Chinese army in front of us is tenacious in resistance, their purpose is to hold us back. If you want to fight us here, I don't think it is necessary to get involved with them. You should go around and quickly insert them, directly occupy the Tengxian county town, and then seize Xuzhou!"

Ryosuke Isotani curled his lips and did not reply.

Setakehei glanced at Setano Kiyo and said sarcastically: "Setano Jun was scared by the enemy in front of him, and he was intertwined and detoured! You are timid and timid, escaping, and a coward. Do the Imperial Japanese Army need to escape in the face of the weak Chinese army? Do you still have a little samurai spirit? Are you a soldier?"

Seya Kiyoshi's face turned pale and he roared: "The Great Japanese Imperial Army won every battle and Yang Wei was in the world. Victory on the battlefield is different from the samurai showdown. It is a victory that can defeat the opponent with the fastest and least loss method. It is victory. If a barbarian fight, how many heroic Imperial Warriors will be sacrificed, do you know?"

"Escape in front of an opponent who is weaker than you, you are not even as good as a low-level warrior!"

"Se Takehei, what did you say..."

"Enough, are you two enough?" Isotani Ryosuke swept over his two subordinates fiercely, "Once our army comes south, we will be invincible in the battle. We have not yet encountered an opponent who cannot be defeated. The elite Chinese army in front of us are about to be able to hone our army's will. In front of me, there is no fortress that cannot be captured. Now I order: continue to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in front of us tomorrow morning, defeat the will of these Chinese army, and go to Tengxian County in one fell swoop!"

"Hayi!"

At the same time, Tengxian Xiguan Light Bulb Factory, Sichuan Army's 122nd Division Command, and Sun Zhen personally visited Tengxian County to convene an emergency defense combat meeting of the Tengxian defenders.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, today the Japanese army used at least one regiment's troops and launched a fierce attack on our Jiehe, Stone Wall and Xiangcheng positions with the cooperation of dozens of artillery and tanks..." Chen Li, deputy commander of the 45th Army and commander of the 127th Division, who rushed back from the front, introduced the battle situation.

Chen Dingxun, the commander of the 45th Army, was treated in Zhengzhou, so Chen Li was actually the commander of the first line of defense position outside Teng County, commanding part of the 125th Division, and the 127th Division head-only blocked the Japanese army.

"Is the casualties serious?"

"It's very big. In one day, our troops suffered nearly two thousand casualties, without heavy weapons. The brothers were fighting with the Japanese with flesh and blood." As he said, the five-foot-high man's eyes were red and tears rolled in his eyes.

The atmosphere inside the command center was very depressing.

"The Japanese army's purpose of catching Xuzhou is quite tomorrow. The key is that our rear troops have not been fully deployed. We must buy them time. This time is three days, or five days, or even longer." Sun Zhen looked around and said in a deep voice. He had just taken over as commander of the 22nd Army.

"According to the current situation, there should be no problem with sticking to it for three days, but the Japanese army will definitely attack more fiercely next time." The commander of the 124th Division, Shi Ti Qingdao.

"The equipment gap is too big. If this battle continues like this, we will be wiped out sooner or later!"

"All it's all done. We went out of Sichuan to fight against Japan and didn't think about going back alive. The Japanese devils, I'll kill one and kill two of them to make a profit!"

"The Japanese army's fortifications will be strengthened tomorrow. Our combat effectiveness will be almost exposed in today's battle, and the battle will be even more cruel in the future."

"Do we have reinforcements?" someone asked carefully.

"The reinforcements are on the way. Chief Li has ordered the transfer of Tang Keqin's 20th Corps to reinforce the Fifth War Zone. The Chairman has agreed." Sun Zhen said.

"Commander, we don't have much ammunition anymore. Can you please give us some ammunition?"

"Don't worry, there is no shortage of ammunition yet. Let's take a look for you. I'm ugly in front of you and lose my position. Don't blame me for turning against others."

"The man is in the position, and no brother of the Sichuan Army is in charge of the handle, and he has a habit!"

"Zhi Zhong, tell me your judgment?"

"The Japanese army's offense was frustrated, either changing its tactics or continuing to attack fiercely. If the frontal offense does not progress, they will sooner or later change their tactics."

"You mean, will the Japanese army intersperse behind us?"

"It's not impossible!"

"On the way here, I received a telegram from Commander Leng from the Honorary First Division, and he also reminded me in the telegram. The Japanese army is very likely to intersperse behind us, so that we should be careful to protect our wings, especially the two positions east of Longshan on the right wing and the deep well on the left wing. He judged that if the Japanese army deviated, they should choose these two directions." Sun Zhen said slowly.

"There is only one regiment of the 370th Brigade in Shenjing, and its defense is very weak. If the Japanese army really deviates, then Teng County will be in danger."

"That's right, Commander Leng suggested that we shrink our defense and resist step by step, and not fight hard with the Japanese army. As long as we are nailed to the position of Teng County, the Japanese army will not dare to go south easily. On the contrary, once the Japanese army successfully interspersed, we will be divided and cut off and annihilated by the Japanese army. At that time, the Japanese army can easily capture Teng County without any worries." Sun Zhen gently stroked the map with a pencil, and the situation suddenly became clear.

"Is it too late to change the original defense combat plan?"

"No, it's still time now. Once the Japanese army notices it, it's too late." Wang Zhizhong said solemnly.

"What if the Japanese army does not choose a roundabout tactic?"

"We do not have the ability to fight mobile wars with the Japanese army, so we can only passively defend, concentrate our troops, gather in Tengxian, and fight attrition with the Japanese army. This is our best choice now." Even Commander Chen Li, who is responsible for the front-line position defense operations, tends to change the current defense operations.
