After fighting against the Sichuan Army day and night, Sadao Niujima discovered that their soldiers had learned a new skill, how to sleep on the battlefield where cold cannons roared.

The Sichuan Army had no martial ethics, and relied on the low sound they heard when they were sleeping in the air-raid shelter.

I have been shooting cold guns for several nights in a row.

Time intervals are long and short, and the attack direction is not fixed.

The Imperial Army officers even suspected that the Sichuan Army artillery had no choice of targets when it was launched.

The boring tricks have made the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army strong.

Find a trench, anti-cannon hole, and the rain will not be wet, as long as the gathering whistle does not sound.

Even if the Sichuan Army was shelling, the land above its head exploded.

It has nothing to do with them.

You can sleep soundly.

This kind of fierce battle is too exhausting, and anyone who can stand it if he doesn't sleep.

There are still some people who can't sleep and surround them. The morale that has been depressed for a long time has made many Imperial officers very worried.

The Sichuan Army is too difficult to fight.

It turned out that Sadao Niujima had also ridiculed the incompetent 20th Division and the 10th Army, after real contact with the Sichuan Army.

He only discovered.

The Sichuan Army was cunning and did not count on its attacks from all directions. Even the people nearby were mobilized, so they spent some food to help them build countless bunkers and tunnels.

These bunker tunnels are also reinforced by Sichuan military steel rails, cement and river sand.

Even the bombs cannot collapse the top of the cannon castle.

The offensive warriors suffered a large number of casualties, coupled with the soldiers who couldn't sleep well, exaggerated the morale of the low spirits, which was very deadly when the decisive battle came.

The orders from the Front Command did not exceed the scope of the three division commanders of Itagaki Seishiro.

Stay on the spot.

Win the final victory for the decisive battle.

The temple master personally generated electricity to the three division commanders, asking them to be cautious and make strict defenses, especially the second and third-tier positions, and there must be a preparatory combat plan to deal with the sudden invasion of small troops.

We must never lose our own position and protect our core configurations such as artillery positions, baggage units, night battle hospitals, etc.

We must never repeat the mistakes of the 8th Division.

This is not just the honor of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire.

The three division commanders had to go to the soldiers in person to cheer him up and remind them to show their spirit of Bushido and to expand their territory for His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire.

However, when the soldiers' emotions calmed down.

Damn Sichuan Army.

Bombardment was shot again.

Relying on the flexibility of small-caliber artillery, he rushed into the tunnel after a few shots.

Change the exit and continue to fight.

Several large-caliber artillery captured by the Imperial Army were not damaged after the 8th Division. The artillery castle was strong because it was strong.

Unscrupulously attacked the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Imperial Army.

If it weren't for the poor quality of the scattered artillery, the artillery in each offensive artillery position lacked accurate ballistic calculations.

The numerous artillery positions under the Imperial Army's two and a half divisions might have been destroyed in the artillery battle.

The sound of cannons is sparse.

It was still possible to let the three division commanders who were still checking defense gather together again.

"Itagaki, damn Guo Xunqi, this cold cannon makes people panic. If the imperial army wins this battle, I must cut him into a skeleton with one knife at a time!"

Sadao Oshima, who gritted his teeth, even felt that he could not relieve his regret by picking it into a skeleton.

"Niudaojun, be careful. Even if you are asked to capture Guo Xunqi, the North China Front Army will not let you kill him easily. You will definitely do your best to win over him. The empire needs such high-level generals to use China to control China and maintain occupation and public order!"

"Baga, the warriors of the empire cannot sacrifice in vain. Even if he wants to surrender, I will stab him with a bayonet before talking about it!"

The war was not going well, and Tokuge Numada couldn't help but start complaining.

"How many shells does the Sichuan Army have? How many scattered and dozens of shots are replaced, and our artillery does not dare to fight back at will. If the Chinese army attacks tomorrow, the morale of the warriors will definitely be depressed!"

Speaking of shells, Itagaki is very angry.

The baggage corps transported by Lianyungang were ambushed by the Yunnan Army, and almost all kinds of artillery shells were found on the destroyed cars.

Now their shell reserves are OK to deal with the mountain attack for a few days, but the number of them is very touching when dealing with large-scale battles.

The Twentieth Corps actually had an artillery division originally assigned to the Third Army.

This is the most annoying thing.

"The Sichuan Army is at the end of its journey now. They only fired all the last artillery shells for the attack of the Central Army. This kind of cold run is not very lethal for the fortifications we have built in the past few days. The main reason is that the soldiers dare not walk around because they avoid artillery and stay in the fortifications, which affects their morale."

"The total number of Zou County to Lincheng is only more than 80 kilometers. Has the Front Command ordered the Imperial Army on the northern line of the Jinpu Road to move south?"

Numada Tokugeki was the last to come back. He was not sure what happened to the command center when he arranged all the brigade commanders, corps commanders, and brigade commanders to mobilize soldiers' morale.

"The commander of Nishio Suzuya asked the three division commanders to lead the way, and he led the way himself. He had already set out just now. Several lieutenant generals of the empire wanted to quickly cross Teng County. However, as soon as they went out, three of the four routes were bombarded. Fortunately, the route that did not step on the landmine was blocked by the artillery fire of the Sichuan Army!"

"Baga, the hateful Feng Tiankui is more despicable than Guo Xunqi. He is like a mouse, and can only hide in the tunnel, attack the Imperial Army with explosives and mines, and never dares to fight the Imperial Army head-on!"

"Have all the troops of the fourth division of the Second Army stopped?"

Sadao Ushima didn't know the news, so he asked Itagaki in surprise.

"Stopped, they also wanted to take advantage of the darkness to sneak attack and arrive at Tengxian County as soon as possible. The landmines and cannons fired, which obviously alarmed the Sichuan army. It was raining at night, and it was unrealistic to clear mines. They could only wait for dawn to continue moving forward. However, the northern line suddenly changed its playing style and should be able to hold Feng Tiankui's main force!"

"It's better to do it first on the northern line. I'm worried that Feng Tiankui will turn the gun, organize troops, and come from behind!"

This decisive battle is a fighter opportunity for the Chinese army.

All the troops in the Fifth War Zone wanted to get closer to the city.

For the Imperial Japanese Imperial Army, it is also a fighter.

They were too eager to fight the Chinese army.

One battle determines the Central Plains, and one battle connects the north and south.

As long as the troops in the Fifth War Zone were killed, Henan, Hubei and Anhui would open their arms to the Imperial Japanese Army.

If you can't gather and annihilate it.

The troops in the Fifth War Zone must have all fallen to the rear of Shandong and Hebei like the 18th Army, and have expanded their troops in a large manner.

Playing guerrilla warfare in the occupied areas every day, firing cold guns and cold cannons, destroying traffic, mining plants, arming farmers, and dragging the main permanent divisions and special divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army to maintain public order. That would be a death-making.

The Great Japanese Empire Base Camp made a combat plan to gather all the main forces in the Five War Zones to open up the Jinpu Line with Lincheng and Xuzhou as the center.

This means that the task of rescuing Itagaki heavy army group fell on the Second Army, which was also Nishio Shou.

In this plan, not only the 11th Division, which has completed the reorganization at the intermodal port, should move closer to Lincheng.

The 7th. The 9th. The 13th Division also set out from Bengbu and advanced towards Xuzhou.

At the same time, the 14th Division, with the support of the 20th Division, chose the attack direction by itself according to the battlefield situation.

The top priority is the two and a half divisions blooming among them.

We must hold on, and we cannot repeat the mistakes of the 8th Division and will be wiped out by the Chinese army in a short period of time.

The three people are still discussing.

The shelling came again.

After the cluster's artillery test fire, fire together.

Even on the plains at the foot of the mountain, the Japanese soldiers felt the earth shaking.

The direction we came this time was not the few mountains defended by the Sichuan Army.

The Chinese army in the south has arrived.

Not only are there imitation of Forbus 75 caliber mountain cannons, but there are also mixed with (sfh18/32l) 150 caliber howitzers bought from Germany by the Chinese government.

"Baga, the Central Army of the National Government, aren't they just sneak attacks and attacking the broken imperial army and picking up the local army's advantage. How could they have the courage to open fire on the two and a half elite divisions of the Imperial Japanese Imperial Army?"

In fact, the information transmitted by the Japanese army to Itagaki Heavy Force Group has long shown that the Chinese army has plans to encircle and annihilate them.

The three division leaders insisted.

The destruction of the 8th Division was caused by Maeda's mistake in setting up the formation, which was a coincidence.

Most of the battlefields in China prove that the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire did not have that weak combat power.

As the main force, they participated in the attack on Guo Xunqi and Deng Xihou's troops, but they were still beaten to the point of fighting back.

Even the despicable means of day and night shelling have been used.
