"Division Commander...don't worry. Although the soldiers of this independent column are powerful, the combat effectiveness of our puppet army's 88th Division is not that bad. As long as we can hold out for a while and let the Taijuns escape, we will definitely have a chance of survival. After all, our numbers are limited. And didn't he also give us a few 70mm caliber Type 92 infantry guns? This is also right? It's considered as compensation for us. Once we get through this period of time, we will definitely receive more gifts."

The chief of staff here also spoke beside Zhao Xiaoer.

How could Zhao Xiaoer not know this truth, but now the enemy is right in front of them. They must make a strategy immediately, otherwise once the critical moment comes, who can save them...

"Well, let's fight first and see how strong this group of independent columns are. They have fought so many battles in the battlefield of Jin Province... We have never seen them before, so this is a good opportunity to see for ourselves. The strength of the independent column is real."

......

The 86th Army Command of the Central Army naturally also received news of the independent column's attack on Song County.

"Sir... this matter is thanks to the independent column. If it weren't for the independent column, Song County would have been captured by the Japanese long ago... The support of our 32nd Division was also relatively timely. Wang Yian kept sending us telegrams, saying that their large forces had withdrawn from Song County, and were now fiercely attacking the county. They also wanted to join the battlefield and get a piece of the pie. Sir, what do you think we should do next?"

The person who spoke was a chief of staff of the 86th Army, who was standing next to the commander of the 86th Army at this moment...

The middle-aged man just nodded and didn't say anything. After all, although he knew the reputation of the Independent Column, he had never fought against it. And according to other people, this main column was not liked by someone, and it also had some enmity with the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Central Army. So this was what made it difficult for the middle-aged man to guess. Now other troops of the Central Army were also rushing to the county town without stopping.

Once the Japanese take over Songxian County, will the Independent Column directly take Songxian County for themselves and not return it to their 86th Army? All this is just a fantasy of middle-aged men.

If his troops cannot return to the county seat of Song County, then should he fight with this group of independent columns... fight to regain the command and control of the county seat.

But then again, this group of people from the independent column are supporting them. If they attack the independent column, wouldn't that mean they are turning their backs on them? If my troops encounter this situation again in the future, how could that group of people support me again...

So this is when middle-aged men feel at a loss.

"I didn't expect that his independent column actually came to support us. In the telegram they sent, they also said that they carried out a large number of aircraft bombing and artillery bombardment on the county. This time they sent out hundreds of bombers... I guess the county will become a ruin... Those little devils will definitely not be able to withstand such a fierce bombing, not to mention that the independent column also has a large number of infantry artillery units, field artillery units and howitzer units. All of this is what we expect."

"But we don't need to support this independent column. In fact, the 32nd and 34th divisions are gathering there to support, and the 33rd division is watching. After all, once the independent column really takes over the county, if they are unwilling to hand over Song County, our two infantry units will not be able to fight them. Let the 33rd Division go, and let the commander of the 33rd Division, Ouyang Qing, be prepared for me. If Song County is not handed over by them, we must launch a strong attack. The county can only be delivered by my 86th Army and cannot fall into the hands of others. It must also be our 86th Army that is in charge of the county."

Anyway, the middle-aged man now doesn't want to fight with the independent column, but if the independent column does not give up Song County, then he is ready to burn his boats. After all, Song County is their economic and political center...

Most of the military pay is from Song County. If Song County really falls into the hands of the independent column, who will pay their military pay?

So this is what the middle-aged man is considering. As for whether he can make enemies with the Independent Column, he doesn't care about these things. After all, the Independent Column is not in the same system as him, and the people above don't have a good impression of the Independent Column.

"Yes, sir, don't worry about this. I will definitely tell Commander Ouyang of the 33rd Division about these things."

The chief of staff said that at this moment, only three parts of the 86th Army were around the county. At the same time, the 32nd Division of the Central Army had arrived in Shi County. With the help of Zhao Dezhu, most people had been settled. Zhao Dezhu also arranged for the corresponding medical soldiers to bandage the wounded brothers of the 32nd Division and let them recover here for a while. At the same time, Zhao Dezhu also ordered his own flying troops to bomb near the county...

The second and third battalions were also rushing to Song County without stopping...

The Japanese artillery unit here also started its own attack. In order to retreat...

A large number of artillery units were also dispatched inside the county.

A total of 6 75mm field guns and 6 75mm infantry guns launched the attack at the same time.

Boom boom boom....boom boom boom....

I saw the shells falling into the trenches one after another...

Some soldiers who were charging were also bombarded.

However, the artillery unit of the 1st Infantry Brigade soon discovered the Japanese and launched a bombardment on their artillery positions.

"Everyone, take your positions. At a distance of about 22 km and 3 degrees in the southwest direction, fire your artillery at me. That is the Japanese artillery position. We must not let these Japanese resist our attack so easily. The artillery unit of our independent column is invincible."

"Carry out the first round of test firing immediately."
