"No, the size of the Chinese army in the city is at least about one regiment, plus the armoured chariot group they are equipped with, how many troops should we leave to continue to trap here?" Xia Yuan Xiongya thought for a while, shook his head and rejected.

Toshiki Suzuki thought it was true that if only a small amount of troops were left, it would not only be impossible to restrain Suzhou's Central Team, but it might also be defeated by it. On the contrary, if the troops were left too much, the 108th Division would be unable to reinforce the 20th Division. If Suzhou was left alone and bypassed here to reinforce the 20th Division, the final result might be even worse. The entire 108th Division might be surrounded by the Central Team.

After thinking about it, the division commander Shimoto Kumaya still gritted his teeth and decided: "Suzuki, I decided that we must take down Suzhou first to ensure our logistics and retreat, and then we can reinforce the 20th Division."

"Well, the general is wise." Suzuki Toshiyuki nodded silently and agreed. Apart from that, he couldn't think of any good idea.

"That's what I decided, I immediately passed the order, the 104th Brigade was the main attacker, the 108th Field Artillery Regiment directly under the division was responsible for assisting the 104th Brigade's attack, the 117th Infantry Regiment and the directly under the division were responsible for siege missions, and the 132nd Infantry Regiment was responsible for launching a feint attack from the side to support the 104th Brigade's frontal attack!" Xia Yuan Xiong Mi ordered immediately.

"Hayi!" Suzuki Toshiyuki did not dare to neglect, and immediately lowered his head and responded, then turned around and quickly took the order with a saber in his arms.

On the road in Su County, Nanping Town, Qiao Anbang walked in a winding direction with the main force of the Special Forces Camp. Suddenly, a side tricycle turned back from the front. This was the forward search and reconnaissance team of the Special Forces Camp.

A tricycle rushed over, and a second lieutenant officer sitting in the car jumped down quickly. He came to Qiao Anbang's collision and met Ai Singing, and stood up and saluted: "Military throne, the Japanese army has surrounded Suxian County!"

Liang Jiahan, who was sitting next to Qiao Anbang, gave up his seat. Qiao Anbang poked his head out and paused in contemplation: "I understand. You go first."

"Yes!" The second lieutenant immediately stood at attention, then turned around and turned to Sanlun.

After watching Bian Sanlu walk away, Qiao Anbang turned his head to Liang Jiahan, who was close to him, and said: "Adminton Liang, immediately generate electricity for Zhang Xudong and tell him that he will lead the armored regiment out of the city to pick us up in half an hour!"

"Yes!" Liang Jiahan responded, then turned around and got out of the car.

After Liang Jiahan left, Qiao Anbang picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Battleman Commander Liang, order the entire battalion to stop moving forward immediately. After the group arrived, we will move forward together."

"Received!" Liang Yimang's concise and clear answer came from the walkie-talkie.

………………………………………………

In Suxian City, the Joint Command of the Third Armored Regiment and the 31st Division.

Zhang Xudong hurriedly read the telegram in his hand, and before he could speak, Chi Fengcheng asked, "Brig Commander Zhang, what do you say on the telegram?"

"Our military commander, personally led the special operations battalion to assist the first regiment in killing the two Japanese brigades of the 20th Division outside the city. They are now advancing towards Su County. Military commander, and led the armored regiment out of the city to meet them in half an hour!" Zhang Xudong replied in a serious tone.

"What? You Junmaster Qiao is coming to Suxian?" Chi Fengcheng was shocked when he heard this and said in disbelief: "Brig Commander Zhang, Suxian is now surrounded by the Japanese army. As the commander of the Hu Ben Army, he should not take risks!"

"Well. Why don't I know what you said, Commander Chi? It's just that the military orders are like mountains, and the military has always been resourceful. He must have his own reasons for doing this. As a soldier, I can only obey my brother!" Zhang Xudong nodded and said.

"That's right, but Brigade Commander Zhang, you must coordinate your military throne with your military throne to achieve success in one fell swoop and bring them in." Chi Fengcheng did not forget to instruct.

"Yes!" Zhang Xudong nodded and agreed, then said, "I'll go out and arrange it first." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

………………………………………………………………………………

While the battle was covered with clouds in Suxian, the battle between the Huben Army Guard Regiment, the ** Garage Brigade and the First Infantry Division surrounded and annihilated the 20th Division of the Japanese Army in Wugou Town to Baisha also entered the most critical white-hot cut-off.

After being bombed and attacked by the Tiger Army Air Force, the 20th Division of the Japanese Army suffered heavy casualties, and the village it was defended was even burned into piles of ruins by dense gasoline incendiary bombs.

In a small wood outside a village called Nanwang Village, seven or eight miles south of Wugou Town, the current division headquarters of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army is located here.

In the division headquarters, the atmosphere became particularly depressing and heavy.

The division commander Niujima Mitsuka angrily threw the telegram in his hand on the conference table made of ammunition boxes, and roared angrily: "Damn the Tiger Ben Army, the 78th Infantry Regiment, the entire army was wiped out, and Suxian was also taken away by them."

"General, I heard that General Xiong Mi's 108th Division of the Xiayuan Yuan Dynasty has arrived in Suxian. I think they will be able to retake Suxian and open up the life transportation line to meet our troops! So, please don't worry too much, General." The Major General General Brigade Commander of the 40th Brigade Liangfu spoke out to comfort him last month.

"Last Yuejun, please don't be too optimistic. The current situation is that our entire division has lost more than half. If the 108th Division of the Second Yuan General cannot arrive in time, we may be wiped out. This is definitely not an exaggeration!" The Major General Brigade Commander of the 39th Infantry Brigade Yoshito Takagi Yoshito's tone was full of frustration. As the Major General Brigade Commander of the 39th Infantry Brigade, the two main infantry regiments under his command were successively eaten by the Hu Ben Army. At this time, Yoshito Takagi was already discouraged and even felt like committing suicide by cutting the stomach.

Seeing that he wanted to say something else, the division commander Mitsuhara immediately shouted: "Enough! Takagi Yoshitojun, as a senior commander of the empire, this is not what you should show!"

"Your Excellency, the division commander, Hu Yi only told some truth. You should also know our current situation." Takagi Yoshito contradicted his immediate boss for the first time. He thought it was a bit paranoid. If it weren't for Mito Niujima who foolishly commanded the 39th Brigade and even the entire 20th Division, he would not have fallen into the current predicament.

"Bagayalu. No more words are allowed!" Niujima Shichang was angry when he heard this. He immediately stepped forward, slapped Takagi Yoshino with several loud slaps, and then angrily said, "Get out of here, hurry up!"

Yoshito Takagi snorted indignation and then turned around and strode away.

Just as Takagi Yoshito left, a Japanese communications liaison officer hurriedly ran in. Before he could stand attentively, he reported to Mitsuhara Ushima: "General, it's not good, the Chinese people are starting to attack again."

"Bagaya Road!" Niujima Mitsuhara was furious and immediately turned his head to Ryogo of the Sun Yue beside him and said, "Sun Yuejun, the task of commanding the troops to fight will be handed over to you. I hope you can do your best to continue to persevere."

"Hay, please rest assured, General, I will do my best!" Last month's Liangfu suddenly lowered his head and then turned around with a saber in his arms.

…………………………………………

Wugou Town, the guard group command center.

The commander of the guard regiment Wang Gensheng was holding a telescope to observe the situation ahead. An adjutant next to him said at the right time: "The regiment seat, the garrison brigade and the First Division are starting to attack again."

"Yes!" Wang Gensheng nodded silently and continued to hold up the telescope to observe.

Since the 20th Division shrank its troops and held on its own, the defense of the guard regiment has become very relaxed. However, Wang Gensheng did not take it lightly and never actively sent troops to cooperate with the 1st Division and the garrison brigade to launch an attack, because he knew the responsibilities of his guard regiment. As long as he guarded the Wugou Town, the main traffic road, he would ensure that the 20th Division would not break through, it would be a victory!

"Royal Head. This time, if you don't take a battalion to launch an attack from behind, the Japanese have reached the point where the oil is exhausted. If we don't go, the oil and water will be harvested by the First Division and the Guard Brigade!" The adjutant asked again.

"Don't be anxious. The trapped beasts are still fighting, and the dogs are still jumping over the wall when they are anxious. Besides, there are thousands of Japanese devils! The physical work should be left to the friendly troops of the First Division and the garrison brigade. As long as we keep this place, we will be the greatest contribution." Wang Gensheng said thoughtfully: "Send the order and all battalions cheer me up to prevent the Japanese from breaking through suddenly!"

"Yes!" The adjutant quickly stood up and turned around and left.

…………………………………

Nanjing, the headquarters of the Central Chinese Front of the Japanese Army.

The current commander of the Japanese Front of Central China, Toshiro Hata said in surprise: "Hanbianjun, what are you talking about? The 20th Division of the North China Front was surrounded by the Chinese Tiger Army?"

"Yes, now all units of the North China Front Army are actively rescued. The commander General Shouyi of the Temple was also requested in a telegram that our Central China Front Army immediately launched an attack on the Huainan Hu Ben Army to restrain the Hu Ben Army!" Chief of Staff Masasa Nodded and replied.

"Wait, are you saying that the Hu Ben Army is now besieging the 20th Division of the North China Front Army?" Hata Shunruo asked thoughtfully.

"Yes." Kawabian Masazo nodded again and replied.

"Kawabianjun, how large is the personnel, equipment and combat effectiveness of the 20th Division?" asked Hata Shunruoyi with some intent.

Kawabian Masasa replied without hesitation: "Report to the general, the 20th Division is one of the 17 permanent main divisions of our great Japanese Empire. It has many personnel and well-equipped equipment, and its combat effectiveness is even more of a Class A Division!"

"Well, then how many troops do the Chinese Tiger Army need to siege an A-level main division like the Imperial Army?" asked Hata Shunruo again.

This time, Zhengsan Hebian pondered for a moment and continued to answer: "The equipment and combat effectiveness of the China Tiger Army should also concentrate at least two main divisions and above. With its powerful air force and armored forces, it is possible to encircle and annihilate the 20th Division in a short period of time!"

"That's right. Now the total strength of the regular army of the China Tiger Ben Army is only four or five divisions and some directly-inspected troops. Apart from one division confronting the 6th Division and the 114th Division in Bengbu, as well as some troops on the battlefield on the northern front, how much force can they remain on the Yingzhou front at this time?" Hata Shunruo asked again.

"Not enough for one division, or even less!" Kawabian Masazo replied with a drastic expression. He and Shinrokuo Hata knew that Zhang Zizhong and Liu Ruming's troops had joined the Hu Ben Army on the northern battlefield, so naturally they did not count the two divisions, so they felt that the Hu Ben Army had less than one division left on the Yingzhou front.

"One division. The Imperial Army has five divisions, more than 150,000 people, with an advantage of 15 to 15. So what if they have reinforcements from the Air Force in time? So what if the Imperial Army lacks logistics? With one blow of 150,000 troops, they will definitely be able to completely wipe out the Hu Ben Army in Yingzhou. Open the southern gate to northern Anhui and wipe out the Hu Ben Army!" At this moment, Hata Shunji had already felt a lot of passion in his heart.

"General is wise!" Zheng San, who was beside him, quickly bowed his head and praised.

"Kun Hebian, immediately generate electricity to the Third Division and order them to launch an attack on the enemy in Yingzhou immediately. Within two days, be sure to capture Yingzhou and wipe out the defenders here!" Hata Shunruo ordered with a stern expression.

"Hayi!" Hebian Zhengsan quickly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and left quickly.

Watching his chief of staff leave happily, a sneering sneer appeared on the corner of Hata Shunji's mouth, but he and Hebian Masato knew that there were still two main divisions of the Hu Ben Army and a large number of militia reserves stationed in Yingzhou, with sufficient ammunition and strong fortifications. Although it may not be able to defeat tens of thousands of Japanese troops, it is more than enough to protect itself. The main force of the Central and Chinese Japanese army, who lacks the ability to continue attack, wanted to capture Yingzhou. It is obviously impossible.

…………………………………………………

On the road from Nanping Town to Su County, the 1st Regiment of the Fifth Division had already cleaned the battlefield and followed. Qiao Anbang sent power to Zhang Xudong's troops again and contacted him. Then he took the Special Operations Battalion and the surviving officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment to head towards Su County. During this period, Qiao Anbang also replenished ammunition, food and water for the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment.

Outside Suxian Town, dozens of 75mm field artillery and Type 92 infantry artillery guns have been set up on the artillery positions of the 108th Field Artillery Regiment directly under the 108th Division of the Japanese Army, and dozens of 75mm field artillery guns and Type 92 infantry guns have been set up one after another, and the artillery guns have also taken their seats.

As a Japanese commander waved the flag, the Japanese artillery fired one after another, and dozens of artillery fired one after another.

"Bangbangbang...bangbangbang...bangbangbang..." After a series of muffled sounds of cannonballs coming out of the chamber, dozens of shells wrapped in fire flew towards Suxian County.

"Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom..." The shells dragged their tail flames into the city. They immediately began to explode, and balls of scarlet flames filled the air with thick smoke and wood chips. The entire Su County was shaking for a moment, and the sound of cannons shook the sky.

In the city, the infantry hid in some construction fortifications, while the armored chariots of the armored regiment quickly retreated along the street. Although the Japanese shelling may not necessarily pose any substantial threat to the heavy armor of the No. 4 tank, the tank soldiers did not want to experience the feeling of being kicked into sandbags.

Moreover, those armored vehicles with weak armor could not withstand the fierce bombardment of the Japanese 75mm cannon group.

In the city, within the joint command.

Listening to the rumbling sound of cannons outside, Zhang Xudong and Chi Fengcheng both looked solemn, and Zhang Xudong even walked back and forth in the command center with his hands on his back, and from time to time he looked at the watch on his left arm.

"I said, Brigade Commander Zhang, can you stop wandering around? My eyes were blurred when I wandered around!" Chi Fengcheng said with a straight temper and bluntly.

"Teacher Chi, am I in a hurry. I'm still ten minutes away from the time that the military throne agreed with me." Zhang Xudong said anxiously.

"It's been ten minutes, so why are you still here to take me here? Take the troops to the south gate first and wait for the response!" Chi Fengcheng reminded immediately.

"Oh, yes! Look at my brain, I'm just worried." Zhang Xudong slapped his forehead, turned around and walked quickly outside the command center, and came outside the command center compound. Zhang Xudong waved his hand to the two armored chariot battalions who had been waiting for a long time and ordered: "Go!"

The Third Armored Regiment had two armored vehicle battalions and one tank battalion. Zhang Xudong did not intend to bring them all. He felt that it would be enough to bring only one tank battalion and armored battalion. The other armored battalion was left in the city to assist the 31st Division in defense. After all, the Japanese were about to start attacking. With an armored battalion in there, the 31st Division could block the Japanese for a while.

After receiving Zhang Xudong's order, the two battalions of tanks and armored soldiers got on the car one after another. Soon the armored combat vehicles were started, and then they rushed towards the south gate with a rumbling rumbling.

At the same time, the first round of artillery attacks by the Japanese outside the city ended. The Japanese sent about an infantry squadron from the north gate to launch a tentative attack on Suxian.

The Japanese artillery bombardment had just ended, and the officers and soldiers of the 31st Division who were hiding in the city hurriedly rushed to the top of the city, setting up weapons one after another, waiting for the Japanese to arrive.

The two infantry companies guarding the north gate were about 300 infantry companies, plus an armored company of the Tiger Army, and more than a dozen German armored vehicles. The armored vehicles cooperated with some infantry to guard the city gate, and some infantry defended the city gate. The remaining troops built a second line of defense in the construction fortifications in the city area to prevent the city gate and the city gate from being closed. It was convenient to cover the troops to withdraw into the city area, and then let the Japanese enter the city to fight street battles.

The veterans and backbones of the 31st Division have rich experience in this kind of city defense and street fighting. At that time, they lacked ammunition and were backward in guns. They could defend a Taierzhuang city with inferior forces. Now they are fully equipped with German-style American equipment, ammunition is sufficient, and the firepower of dozens of machine guns from armored vehicles has been assisted by dozens of machine guns. Their strength has increased greatly, and they are more comfortable in defense battles.

On the top of the city, about two platoons of infantry were ready for battle under the leadership of a company commander. Looking at the Japanese soldiers getting closer and closer outside the city, all the soldiers quietly opened the security of the steel guns, pulled the bolts, and aimed the gun at their respective targets.

When the Japanese entered a distance of two or three hundred meters, the Japanese infantry who were charging began to shoot randomly at the city. At such a long distance, they shot upward again. The Japanese's hit rate was naturally not high, but occasionally bullets would hit the pile walls and knock down some soil and dilapidated brick wall fragments.

Soon, more than a hundred Japanese under the city rushed into a distance of 100 meters. More than a hundred soldiers guarding the city were ordered by the company commander and fired one after another. The dense bullets composed of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns immediately blew down the city like a gust of wind.
