    At seven o'clock in the morning on June 1st, the night's fighting ended. Li Guoyao and others were extremely tired. But at this moment, good news came from the Lanfeng battlefield on the northern front. An hour ago, the First Corps finally captured Sanyi Village and captured Sanyi Village.  The main force of the Japanese 14th Division was completely surrounded and annihilated in Sanyi Village.

    The only pity is that after the national army broke through Sanyi Village, Doihara Kenji was never found. Neither a person nor a body was seen. The whole person seemed to have disappeared suddenly.

    But except for Dofeihara, everyone in the 14th Division was there. After more than ten days of hard work, Xue Yue finally ate Dofeihara Division.

    Although it is not perfect, it is still a rare victory!

    When the news came, the Guide front line suddenly burst into cheers!

    According to the normal trajectory, once the battle on the Lanfeng battlefield is over, the Japanese army will have no rescue target. In addition, the troops on the Lanfeng front line will inevitably go south to reinforce and return to Germany, so the Japanese soldiers are likely to withdraw immediately.

    However, what Li Guoyao and others did not expect was that just over half an hour after the battle, the little Japs outside Guide City began to gather troops again to prepare to attack the city.

    After receiving the report from the front, Li Guoyao and others were shocked. Regardless of their exhaustion, Li Guoyao immediately led Xu Hu, Ma Desheng and others to the main position of the South Gate.

    When Li Guoyao and others rushed over, they found that the Japanese soldiers on the south gate's forward position had completed their assembly. Through the telescope, they could see that there were thousands of Japanese soldiers in rows.

    ¡°Obviously this is a complete infantry brigade, and on one side of the infantry brigade are thirty or forty huge tanks. It is the largest Type 97 medium tank equipped in the Japanese army.

    In addition, behind the tank troops are more than a dozen infantry guns and mortars, a very considerable number.

    Looking at this posture, Li Guoyao knew that the little devils had gathered all the artillery of all the troops on the Guide front line together. It was even conceivable that there were large-caliber field artillery behind these small artillery, but he didn't know whether there were heavy artillery.

    This posture is really shocking. Xu Hu, Ma Desheng, Peng Linsheng and others all frowned and felt a little apprehensive.

    "Military seat, what are you guys going to do? The Doihara division has been destroyed, what's the point of them continuing to attack?" Xu Hu said in a deep voice.

    Li Guoyao replied with a solemn expression: "If my prediction is correct, these Japanese soldiers want to completely surround us in Guide City!"

    "Does this make sense?" Peng Linsheng, commander of the 187th Division, also asked.

    "Of course it makes sense. In this battle, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses on both the northern and southern fronts. Especially on the northern front, the Doihara Division was completely wiped out. This loss was definitely beyond the expectations of the Japanese base camp. If they could also fight on the southern front  A beautiful battle of annihilation can give an explanation to the people."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "Secondly, Guide is the gateway to eastern Henan. Occupying this place is of great significance to the Japanese invasion of Henan. It can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. At the same time, it can also force our army to station heavy troops in eastern Henan, so they know that the soil is rich.  The original division is finished, but we still don¡¯t want to withdraw our troops.¡±

    "So that's the case. Does that mean the little devil is determined to return to virtue?"

    "You can say that!"

    "Then we are not in great danger. There are at least 50,000 Japanese soldiers outside the city, and we only have a little more than 20,000 fighting soldiers. This battle is in doubt," Xu Hu said.

    Before Li Guoyao could speak, Peng Linsheng on the side said: "I'm not worried about the gap in military strength. With such a large scale and such a small battlefield, the gap in military strength is difficult to reflect. What I'm worried about is the gap in weapons and equipment.  After these days of bloody fighting, both your army and our Eighth Army have suffered extremely heavy losses in weapons and equipment. On the other hand, the Japs have artillery tanks, tanks, and aircraft to coordinate operations. If they really fight to the death, we will definitely suffer the loss.  .¡±

    However, Li Guoyao said calmly: "It doesn't matter. Yesterday, I ordered people to transport back 200 light machine guns and 200 heavy machine guns overnight. There is enough ammunition. They will all be distributed to the troops later. In addition, the artillery regiment of the Eighth Army and I  The artillery regiments of the Ministry are temporarily combined and used, so that the brothers will not have to use their flesh and blood to fight against the iron chariots of the Japs."

    Hearing this, everyone was shocked. No one expected that Li Guoyao would directly order people to get so much automatic firepower.

    Although they were a little surprised, no one said anything. Peng Linsheng and others thought that this should be Li Guoyao's secret, while Xu Hu and others thought that these equipments were purchased by Li Guoyao's daughter-in-law with a lot of money. As for the source of the money and materials  They all know it, so they don¡¯t?When you open your mouth, everything is tacitly understood.

    As they were talking, everyone suddenly saw the Japanese tanks moving at the front. Dozens of tanks blew black smoke and drove in front of the infantry.

    Then a Japanese lieutenant commander waved his sword forward, and the Japanese tanks began to drive towards the defenders' position.

    At the same time, "bang bang" shelling sounds were also heard from the Japanese artillery positions in the distance, and dense shells flew towards the walls of Guide City and extended to the back.

    "Boom boom boom"

    The violent explosion instantly enveloped a section of the city wall that was hundreds of meters long near the south gate. Bricks, soil, various sandbags and even soldiers were blown away.

    "Military seats and division seats, it's dangerous here, you'd better retreat!" Commander Wang Zhifu of the 187th Division stationed at the south gate suggested.

    However, Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter. If you hit yours, I'll see if ours doesn't get in the way!"

    Then Li Guoyao turned to the combat staff on the side and said: "Call the artillery regiment immediately and tell me to suppress the kid's artillery!"

    "yes!"

    "Pull all the remaining troops of the air defense regiment to the front line, and also bring some anti-aircraft guns with them!" Li Guoyao ordered again.

    "yes!"

    Following Li Guoyao's order, the defenders immediately began to counterattack, and the artillery position located in the north of the city was the first to open fire.

    "Boom boom boom"

    Eighteen mountain artillery pieces belonging to the national army opened fire at the same time, and the charging Japanese army suffered a fatal blow. There were violent explosions everywhere in the forward positions.

    But the quality of the little Japs is really admirable. The moment the cannon sounded, almost all the Japs soldiers fell to the ground as if they had received some instructions.

    After the explosion, the Japanese soldiers stood up again like ghosts and continued to move forward behind the chariot.

    Soon, the little devils advanced to a distance of 500 meters in front of the defenders' position, which was already within the killing range of grenades and heavy machine guns.

    However, because there were tanks in front of the little devils, the defenders did not open fire immediately, but waited for the Japanese troops to approach.

    Everyone knows that the Type 97 medium tank was the most successful tank equipped by Japan during World War II. Like the Type 8/9 tank, although it is named a medium tank, from today's perspective, it can only be  It's considered a light tank.

    The Type 97 medium tank has a total combat weight of 15.3 tons and a crew of 4. The commander and gunner are located in the turret. The driver is located on the right side of the front of the vehicle body. The machine gunner is located on the left side of the driver. The turret is located to the right of the longitudinal center of the vehicle body.  s position.

    The main weapon is a Type 97 57 mm short-barreled artillery, which can fire grenades and armor-piercing projectiles. It carries 120 rounds of ammunition. Its armor-piercing projectiles can penetrate 50 mm thick steel armor at a distance of 1,200 meters.  The auxiliary weapons are two Type 97 7.7mm heavy machine guns with a carrying capacity of 4035 rounds. One of them is a front-mounted machine gun and the other is mounted on the right side of the rear of the turret.

    Since the frontal armor of this type of tank is 30mm thick, neither grenade launchers nor heavy machine guns have much effect on the Type 97 tank.

    ¡°However, the defenders deployed a large number of anti-tank mines in the forward positions. As long as the Japanese tanks entered the forward positions, it would be difficult to avoid dense minefields, so the defenders were not anxious at all.

    Sure enough, when the Japanese tanks entered the range of 150 meters away from the defenders' position, suddenly there were multiple violent explosions at the front, and then five or six tanks were blown upside down one after another, and several more were blown up.  Although the vehicle did not turn over, its tracks were blown off and it could only be paralyzed on the forward position.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
