"Three kilometers away? More than 10,000 people? Are you sure the guards are not wrong?"

Tong Zeguang suddenly turned around and asked sternly as he looked at the person running in.

"Teacher! It's true that there are indeed a large group of Japanese soldiers attacking us three kilometers away, and their number is more than 10,000. According to the report of the reconnaissance force, Japanese soldiers are more than three corpses, and it may even be more!"

The person who came said that Tong Zeguang quickly looked at the map.

"Three kilometers? That is to say, the Japanese are here now, Xiaozhu Town! More than three corps? It seems that the Japanese are planning our division, sending reports to the 79th and 80th divisions, asking about their combat progress, and when will they be able to take the Japanese position!"

Tong Zeguang did not panic because of the tens of thousands of Japanese devils appearing behind him, but instead gave orders calmly.

"yes!"

"Teacher! Telegrams were sent from the 79th Division and the 80th Division, saying that it is snowing now and the troops are not easy to attack. In addition, the Japanese are determined to resist, so the Japanese are temporarily unable to break through the Japanese position!"

After a while, the staff officer came back and looked at Tong Zeguang and said.

"It's hard to break through? It seems that we can only generate electricity for Chief Zhang in this matter."

Tong Zeguang couldn't help but murmur after hearing this.

Kitakyushu, Joint Command

"Today, our 76th Division at Xingqiao was bombed by the Japanese guns. Fortunately, their squadron here only had one heavy cruiser, and the rest were destroyers. Our army did not suffer much casualties. But it affected our morale a lot.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, our 76th Division met the 11th Division of the Japanese. It was estimated that a great war would break out tomorrow.

In addition, we have good defense in Xiaguan, and the 73rd and 74th Divisions of the 19th Army have a little advantage.”

A staff officer was reporting the current situation to Zhang Xunchen and the four commanders of the army, and they were listening carefully.

"Old Wang, how is your 21st Army now? The situation in our army can only be said to be average. We fight with the Japanese devils, but this place is the homeland of the Japanese devils. If we don't end the battle as soon as possible, it will be difficult for us to fight later!"

Zhang Xuchen looked at Wang Wei, commander of the 21st Army, and said.

"I have no choice! The snow has been getting heavier since this morning. It is difficult for the troops to march in such heavy snowy weather, and there is no need to mention combat. Now I don't understand why the general chose to fight at this time. Moreover, in such heavy snowy weather, our troops' logistics supplies will be grounded even if the airships are grounded. If it takes a long time, our logistics will probably have problems!"

Wang Wei said with a wry smile.

"It's nothing. Although the weather has caused great trouble to our offense now, it is also the weakest time for the Japanese to die. Their economy has withered and the domestic unemployment rate has risen sharply.

We can afford to delay this war, but the Japanese may not be able to. If the Japanese wait until spring is in full bloom, they will probably have other turning points!"

Zhang Xunchen understands these things very clearly.

"Report! The 75th Division sent a telegram from the front line!"

Just as Zhang Xuchen finished speaking, a staff officer's words rang out outside.

"Seventy-fifth Division? Tong Zeguang, this guy? Aren't they there in Gong Ruo's attack on the 12th and 20th Divisions? Is there something unexpected happening to them?"

Zhang Xunchen looked at the man who said.

"General Tong sent a message saying: Today, the Japanese took advantage of the heavy snow and sent at least three regiments to the back of the 75th Division from the gaps on both sides of their three infantry divisions. Now the Japanese's two divisions are attacking the 75th Division from the front and back."

The visitor read the telegram that Tong Zeguang played.

In the telegram, Tong Zeguang also told Zhang Xunchen about their current details.

"Are you surrounded? Where are the 79th Division and the 80th Division?"

Zhang Xunchen held back his anger and said.

He knew that the 79th Division and the 80th Division were members of Zhang Hansheng's 20th Army. If he were afraid, it would affect their relationship.

But the anger in Zhang Xunchen's words could not be concealed.

"Come, go and generate electricity for the 79th Division and the 80th Division, and tell them that if they can't take the Japanese's position before four o'clock today, they will come and see you!"

Zhang Hansheng also felt shameless.

He attacked the Japanese defensive position composed of a regiment after a long battle, but after several hours, he still couldn't break through.

Anyone who does this will feel shameless.

Especially now there are three other armies here.

You said that if an infantry division attacked a division, or even more than three infantry regiments, you would be able to fight for a long time from morning to three o'clock in the afternoon. This is understandable.

But the opponent only has more than 3,000 troops in a corps. You can't fight for a long time, but it still makes friendly troops fall into a siege and is surrounded by the enemy. Who do you think this matter will not get angry?

When this incident reaches Han Ling's ears, he will probably be unable to sit steadily as the commander of the 20th Army.

Pingyuan Army has always been a capable person who is superior, and the incompetent person who is inferior.

He was in this position and was also the reason why he performed well in several battles before.

But now if Han Ling thinks he is incompetent, it will be useless even if he is a student of Zhan Ninggong.

"Brother Xunchen! Sorry! I didn't expect this to be the result!"

After his communications officer went out, Zhang Hansheng looked at Zhang Xiuchen a little embarrassedly and said.

This incident really made him lose face.

"Forget it! Now that things have come to this, it's useless to say this. Lao Guo, what's going on now in the four infantry divisions of your 22nd Army?"

After Zhang Xiuchen shook his head, he turned his gaze to Guo Ziying, commander of the 22nd Army.

"Like the 21st Army, it is difficult for the troops to march in heavy snow!"

Guo Ziying shook his head and said.

"Well! I know this. But now the 75th Division is in a heavy siege. Your 85th Division and the 88th Division are the troops closest to Gong Ruo. Can you please call your two infantry divisions to rescue the siege?"

When Zhang Hansheng heard Zhang Xuchen's words, his face felt almost lowered to the ground.

He knew that Zhang Xunchen didn't really believe in his 20th Army.

"No problem! I'll send them a report right away. They are only about ten kilometers away from Gongruo now.

If nothing unexpected happens, you can arrive at Gong Ruo at around 4:00 in the afternoon later!”

Right wing of the 75th Division, 79th Division

"Teacher, the commander sent a telegram! Please check it out!"

A staff officer handed the telegram to the commander of the 79th Division.

He didn't intend to read this telegram because it was sent by the staff officer there, and it was full of Zhang Hansheng's angry and swearing tone.

The commander of the 79th Division took it and looked at it for a few seconds, and a look of shame appeared on his face.

"Order the troops to increase their offensive efforts and at all costs, they must take down the Japanese's position before 4:00 this afternoon!"

"jingle"

Just then, the phone rang.

A staff officer answered and said a few words, then handed the phone to the commander of the 79th Division.

"Teacher! Commander's phone number!"

The commander of the 79th Division had a complete expression.

"commander!"

"Zhao Guorui, let me tell you! If you can't break through the Japanese devil's position before four o'clock this afternoon, don't do this division commander, let alone come to see me. I can't afford to lose this person. Do you know what the commander of the general called to scold our army just now?

It's a waste! Your 79th Division and the 80th Division, an infantry division attacked an infantry corps of the Japanese. They fought for a whole day, and it's almost a day, and it hasn't been defeated yet. Zhao Guorui, you really give me Mr. Zhang a face!"

Zhao Guorui, the commander of the 79th Division, said just two words, and Zhang Hansheng over there was already furious.

"Zhao Guorui, I tell you, if you feel that you can't fight, then get out of here! My 20th Army will not raise a waste like you!"

After Zhang Hansheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and Zhao Guorui was a little stunned with the microphone.

Because he was afraid that there would be too much casualties before, he did not attack with all his might.

But now the general's phone number and what Zhang Hansheng said, the general already knew their record, and he felt that his position as a division commander would be almost unstable.

"Go! Send orders to the troops below, and the whole army will hold on! This time, we must capture the Japanese's position no matter what we say, otherwise we will go to the military court after this battle!"

Both the 79th and 80th divisions were telegrams and phone calls from Zhang Hansheng.

On the phone, the two division commanders were scolded like their grandson, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

Then the two infantry divisions were all over the army.

The entire army was pressed over and after another hand-to-hand battle, he successfully broke through the Japanese's position at 3:40 pm.

It can be said that it successfully broke the Japanese's two-wing position.

Just when they thought they could drive straight in, the Japanese actually sent troops again.

This time the Japanese were ruthless. The Japanese armed all the other personnel and sent them to the battlefield.

There were tens of thousands of troops from other wings, plus the remaining people in the cavalry wing.

They once again blocked the offensive pace of the 79th and 80th divisions.

When the 79th and 80th divisions were blocked from the attack again.

At this time, the situation of the 75th Division was already a little critical.

"Master! Our situation is a bit bad. The Japanese behind them started attacking like crazy. If we hadn't had the strong firepower, we would have been broken through the position long ago!

But even so, our situation is not good. Starting from 10 o'clock this morning, the airship logistics team has not dared to take off because of the heavy snow. So we have not received a single piece of logistics supplies now.

If this continues, our ammunition supply can only be exhausted until the morning after tomorrow!"
Chapter completed!
