Armored troops passing through the Japanese defense lines were already taking huge risks!

If they want to reach the target location within one hour and forty minutes, then the armored troops must ignore most of the Japanese obstruction during the march.

In other words, many soldiers will die from passive beatings during the march.

The soldiers of the armored forces are not afraid of death, but they cannot fight back even if they are afraid of death.

"Old Ding, I don't want to pressure you with orders!" Lu Zheng became serious.

Although Lu Zheng is also a regiment leader, the highest commander of Area 5 is Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng did not want to order Ding Yucheng and Cao Xinghua like a commander.

"In one hour and forty minutes, we will launch the attack on time." Ding Yucheng said.

The troops in Area 5 had no advantage over the Japanese army in terms of firepower and troop strength.

The only one with the advantage is the armored force. If the armored force cannot inflict heavy damage to the Japanese army, Lu Zheng's regiment and Cao Xinghua's spy battalion will be entangled by the Japanese army.

The offensive war turned into a war of anxiety, and the war of anxiety turned into a war of attrition. I am afraid that the troops in Area 5 will suffer heavy losses.

The armored force is the only force in Area 5 that can change the situation in this battle.

"Old Ding, the first credit for this battle must go to the armored forces. Our regiment and the special agent battalion will never take your credit." Lu Zheng said.

"Lao Lu, if we really want to take credit, there is no need to come to Area 5." Ding Yucheng said, "Our First Army fights in divisions and has never been selfish."

No matter which direction the armored troops are placed, they will be used as the absolute main force.

Therefore, the armored forces never lack opportunities to make meritorious deeds.

"Old Ding, Lao Lu and I are waiting for your armored troops to come back," Cao Xinghua said.

This battle is very dangerous, so dangerous that these three armies may be wiped out.

It's not that they don't want to fight the war of wealth, but that they lack the materials to fight the war of wealth.

If a few main brigades are transferred over and the bullets are averaged out, there won't be enough to fight a charge. No matter how many troops are transferred, it will be useless.

If you want to win more with less, you have to think of ways that ordinary people can't think of and do things that ordinary people can't do.

"Old Cao, lend me your scout for a while. I want to take a look in person tonight," Ding Yucheng said.

Although the scouts had marked all the routes in detail, Ding Yucheng was still worried.

Cao Xinghua nodded: "No problem!"

As time approaches, the air in Area 5 becomes increasingly tense.

On the eve of the war, commanders talked more and more among themselves, while soldiers talked less and less among themselves.

Soldiers know very well that no matter how great a victory is, there will be people who cannot see it, and there will be people who will never come back.

The little Japs in Area 5 have not changed much. They have not increased their troops, but the new recruits brought in by the Japanese army are getting younger and younger.

The little devils no longer follow the three-year training to replenish their troops.

Now the Japanese army recruits new soldiers into the combat force. After completing three months of training, they will be sent to the Chinese battlefield.

Some soldiers were inexperienced on the battlefield, which became a headache for the little devils.

Especially at the forward positions, Japanese recruits were overly nervous.

Nervousness is contagious, and Japanese veterans deliberately stayed away from new recruits when they saw them.

On the afternoon of the ninth day, Lu Zheng sent a telegram to Zhao Zhiguo. The tunnel they dug was already at the feet of the Japanese army, only a short distance away from the Japanese position.

"In an offensive battle, use less to fight more. The key is to fight quickly and decide quickly." Zhao Zhiguo asked Tian Kezhi to send a telegram to Lu Zheng, "If you cannot fight quickly, you should choose an opportunity to retreat to reduce losses."

When the troops are inferior to the opponent's, it is a bad idea to engage in a war of attrition with the opponent.

"This battle can only succeed, not fail!"

In Lu Zheng's telegram, there seems to be confidence in victory and arrogance in victory.

In fact, Lu Zheng knew very well that if he chose to retreat, he would be leaving the armored troops to the Japs.

Even if the armored troops have all kinds of abilities, if they run rampant among the enemy groups without the cover and support of other troops, they will still end up being wiped out.

After this battle started, as long as the armored troops set off, there was no way out.

Since Lu Zheng had figured out a way to send the armored troops deep behind enemy lines, it meant that he would not order a retreat again.

If the frontal troops retreat, the armored troops will be trapped in a tight encirclement.

Unless the armored forces can escape danger, Lu Zheng's regiment and the special agent battalion will fight to the last soldier.

"Sir, does this guy Lu Zheng want to do something to me?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"This is the first time Lu Zheng is commanding an attack. The troops are not yet dominant, so we can only use this method of attack," said Matthew Wen.

If he really had the advantage in terms of military strength and firepower, Lu Zheng would definitely not use such a dangerous method.

Now the arrow is on the string and must be fired!

"Report to Commander, Deputy Commander Gao is back."

"Quickly, bring him to the commander!"

"Commander, political commissar, I'm back." Gao Cang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

In order to catch up with the battle, he did not dare to stop along the way.

"Lao Gao, you came back at the right time. If you come back an hour later, I will order Qin Dongsheng to lead the troops to area No. 5." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Old Zhao, don't rush to talk about the war. First, let's talk about how the supplies are going."

The battle will definitely not be over in a while, but they need the supplies urgently.

"Commander Zhang has promised that he will help us, but we have to solve the money problem ourselves. The Northwest Army does not have much funds, and their troops are often in arrears with their military pay," Gao Cang said.

Although the Northwest Army is a regular army, it is neither a direct descendant nor a relative, and its supplies are not much better than those of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss of the Central Military Forces often said that military pay and supplies would be raised locally.

The place where Commander Zhang and his troops were stationed was sparsely populated, and all kinds of supplies were already very scarce. It was difficult to solve the problems of the troops by raising food and pay on the spot.

"Political Commissar, let's not hide our family wealth this time. Let's solve our immediate needs first."

When the time comes, don't think too long term.

"Old Zhao, please keep this in mind. I'm not a tough guy." Matthew said.

"Lao Gao, let me tell you about the situation in Area 5." Zhao Zhiguo dragged Gao Cang to the sand table, "According to the original plan, we planned to recover Position 5 in five to seven days.

, but now the plan has changed.”

"Has the plan changed?" Gao Cang asked, "No fight?"

"Lu Zheng decided to go all out and solve the trouble in area No. 5 in one night." Zhao Zhiguo continued.

Gao Cang was a little surprised: "A five-to-seven-day task is compressed into one night. What kind of hard work is required?"

"In fact, as long as most of the troubles on the Japanese army's position are solved in one night, it will be a success." Zhao Zhiguo said, "There will definitely be Japanese troops who will continue to stay on the position to resist."

Even in a whole night, it would be difficult to recover all the positions.
