    However, no matter when, once you underestimate the enemy, you will pay a heavy price.

    Just as Zhang Xian was rejoicing for Gao Wei's victory, his second battalion stationed in Shijiang Town in the north had a problem. A brigade of the Panasonic Regiment, with the cooperation of tanks and cavalry, had already broken through the country.  Despite the strong defense line of the army, the Second Battalion suffered heavy casualties. Battalion Commander Mei Zhanyuan led more than 300 remaining soldiers of the Second Battalion to retreat to the south bank of the Pingxi River, and at the same time sent people to ask Zhang Xian for help.

    When Zhang Xian received this battle report, he couldn't help but frown. No wonder Matsushita Yasujiro here did not organize to cross the river after being repelled by Gao Wei. It turned out that this guy used roundabout tactics and wanted to attack from both sides.

    " And what Yasujiro Matsushita wants is obviously more than what Zhang Xian can think of, and it's not just a two-sided attack.

    Almost at the same time, a battle report came from the third battalion on the Huangqiao side in the southwest. An enemy brigade was attacking Huangqiao.  Zhang Xian quickly spread out the map, and then suddenly realized that it was obvious that Matsushita Yasujiro wanted to surround him.  Now that the Shijiang River in the north has been lost, if the Huangqiao in the southwest is lost again, then Longtanpu will become a protruding and lonely dead place, surrounded by water on three sides and cut off by the enemy on one side. The consequences can be imagined.

    This was really an uncomfortable moment. Zhang Xian thought for a long time and finally made the safest decision: to abandon Longtanpu and order Mei Zhanyuan's second battalion to retreat south, join the first battalion, and head towards Huangqiao.  direction to retreat.  At the same time, he called Su Zhengtao's 170th Regiment in the south and prepared to cooperate to deal with the threat in the south first.

    Zhang Xian telegraphed his decision to the division commander Zhang Linfu. Soon, division commander Zhang received a reply. He completely agreed with Zhang Xian's decision, but issued an order requiring the two regiments Zhang Xian and Su Zhengtao to move as quickly as possible.  Before the enemy could join forces, they defeated the Japanese brigade that invaded Huangqiao.

    When Zhang Xian received the telegram from the division commander, he couldn't help but admire the courage of this lame division commander. He didn't dare to think about it at all, and division commander Zhang had already planned for them.

    Indeed, as Zhang Linfu thought, although Matsushita Yasujiro launched a three-pronged attack to encircle the 169th Regiment, he also had a big shortcoming, that is, the strength of the troops would definitely be insufficient after dividing the troops. This created a gap between the 169th Regiment and the 170th Regiment.  The conditions were created by uniting and annihilating one of them.

    In order to complete Commander Zhang's plan, Zhang Xian carefully studied the situation. If his two battalions withdrew from Longtanpu and Shijiang Town at this time, the two brigades of the Panasonic Alliance would definitely follow. After he and Su Zhengtao joined forces,  When defeating the enemy at Huangqiao, I was afraid that Panasonic's two brigades had already attacked behind me, which created a situation where the Japanese were attacking the 169th Regiment from both sides.  This is a very dangerous layout. If I want to complete Commander Zhang's plan and join forces with the 170th Regiment to defeat the enemy of Huangqiao, it will not be easy. I must first block the enemy's two brigades of more than 3,000 people in the north of Huangqiao.  Attack, with today's military strength, it is impossible to do it even if you have the intention but not the strength.

    At the moment, Zhang Xian called back to Commander Zhang, believing that based on the current situation, at least one regiment of troops was needed to capture the enemy's brigade.  Soon, Zhang Xian received a reply from Commander Zhang, asking the 169th Regiment to use all its strength to block the main force of the Panasonic Regiment and prevent it from joining the enemy at Huangqiao. Instead, the 17th Regiment was given the task of encircling and annihilating the enemies near Huangqiao.  Zero Regiment, and at the same time, the reserve regiment of the 171st Regiment stationed in Gaosha Town was transferred to the east to join the 170th Regiment in attacking the enemy 120th Regiment Hotan Brigade that invaded Huangqiao.

    At this time, on the battlefield adjacent to the 57th Division, the 19th Division of the 100th Army to the north was fighting fiercely with the 133rd Regiment of the enemy's 116th Division near Ma Jingu Village.  , stationed is the 58th Division, which is also in the 74th Army, to prevent the Japanese 58th Brigade Guangen Detachment from invading Xinning; while another division of the 74th Army, the 51st Division,  Division, further north, and a division of the 100th Army besieged the enemy's 116th Division's 109th Regiment, which was the first to break into the Xuefeng Mountain area.  If the 57th Division could annihilate an enemy brigade at Huangqiao in one fell swoop, then the 120th Regiment would have lost an arm, and it would be much easier to defeat Yasujiro Matsushita.  As long as the 120th Regiment collapses, the 133rd Regiment and the 109th Regiment to the north of the 116th Division will be forced to rush in alone and have no choice but to retreat.

    Master Zhang's intention was obvious. Zhang Xian also understood his superior's good wishes to immediately turn the tide of the war. However, at this time, he expressed doubts about whether Zhang Linfu's plan could be realized. After all, with only fifty  With the strength of seven divisions and one division, if you want to successfully defeat the more than 4,000 enemy regiments on the opposite side, it always feels like a snake swallowing an elephant.  However, this does not mean that Commander Zhang¡¯s plan is not feasible. If his 169th Regiment can really block the main force of the two brigades of the Panasonic Regiment, then the 170th Regiment and the 171st Regiment can encircle the enemy in Huangqiao.  , gather together and annihilateLet them pay a heavy price for this.

    At that moment, Zhang Xian ordered two companies of Gao Wei's First Battalion to ambush at the entrance of Puli Village, mainly to attack the enemy's cavalry. Each company also brought three 42 mortars over, and six mortars were enough to attack the enemy.  It can break up the enemy's cavalry formation and disconnect it from the enemy's chariot fleet.

    "It's just that the enemy's tanks are difficult to deal with?" Deputy Commander Xiao next to him said worriedly.

    Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Don't forget, we are no longer what we used to be. We still have a combat defense company! I haven't put this combat defense company to use yet. If I don't use it at this time, how long will it take?"  "

    Deputy Commander Xiao nodded and said at the same time: "Having said that, our combat defense company has just been formed and has not yet fought against enemy tanks. Moreover, whether it is a rocket launcher or a combat defense gun, when we first trained  , because there are only a few bullets, so until now, everyone has only tried firing one combat anti-gun bullet, and not a single rocket!"

    Zhang Xian was stunned, and immediately said to Wei Lengzi beside him: "Go and call Captain Liu of the Zhan Defense Company over here!"

    Wei Lengzi responded and ran quickly.

    Zhang Xian turned his head to Paul next to him. Of course, the American major understood what he wanted to ask, but he shrugged at him, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "There is no way, those kind of bullets are very precious when they come, rockets  There are only nine of them, there¡¯s no way I¡¯m going to let you kill them all just for training!¡±

    Zhang Xian knew that what he said was right, but now he could only catch the duck. He had to accurately hit the enemy's tanks with the limited number of anti-tank bullets and rockets. Otherwise, they would have to do what they did before.  In that case, there was nothing we could do against the Japanese tanks except to send out death squads and throw incendiary bottles in order to blow up the steel tracks.

    Company Commander Liu of the Defense Company ran over. He was a man under thirty years old. Although he was not tall, he looked strong and strong. He was originally a platoon commander of the 57th Division. After the Battle of Changde, he had  He was sent by Zhang Xian to the 74th Army to learn the use of American weapons, and later served as the deputy company commander of the first company of the first battalion. When the combat defense company was established, he was made the company commander.  Company Commander Liu saluted Zhang Xian and shouted: "Report!"

    Zhang Xian returned the salute and asked: "Liu Company Commander, are you sure you can destroy the enemy's tank?"

    Company Commander Liu was startled for a moment, then immediately became excited and asked: "Commander, do you want us to attack the enemy's tanks?"

    Zhang Xian nodded and told him: "Nine enemy tanks are coming towards our position!"

    "Report to the regiment! I will definitely lead our combat defense company to successfully complete the mission!" Captain Liu replied loudly. For him, he has been idle for a long time and has long wanted to unsheath his sword.  This time, it should be the time for their seemingly useless defense company to show off its skills and feel proud.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
