Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Guoliang, the country is in crisis. Generals must be prepared to die, and soldiers must not be greedy for life. Only then can we avoid the danger of national destruction and extinction of the Chinese race."

"The 17th Army Group is composed of my Tianfu people. It was me, Zhang Fa, who led them out of Sichuan."

"I can't let them die in such a cowardly way at the hands of the devils."

"I will personally lead a division to go around the Japs' flank and rear and launch a surprise attack."

"If we can win, then we can naturally save the 17th Army from danger. If we can't win, you will take over my command."

"We Sichuan Army are not just two-gun soldiers, we are also the passionate men of China!"

Zhang Fa pushed away Gu Guoliang who was chasing him and pointed in the direction of the position and said.

"Commander...please let me go, please let me go!" Gu Guoliang said with great sorrow.

This trip can be said to be a life-or-death experience.

The Japanese army was still behind them, but the Isogai Division ran faster, so they caught up with them.

Zhang Fa's plan was very bold and risky, it was a complete gamble.

They were betting on who was faster, him or the Japanese army.

If things go wrong, Zhang Fa and that division will be wiped out.

Their division has only more than 8,000 people. How can they possibly be a match for the Japanese army of hundreds of thousands?

The sea of ​​people completely submerged them...

"Guoliang, I have always treated you as a brother. Please keep this pen, these two photos, and a suicide note for me. If I can't come back, please send them back to my hometown."

Zhang Fa took out a pen from his pocket, and then took out a letter with two photos carefully wrapped in cloth.

That was a photo of him and his wife when they were newly married, and there was another one, a photo of their family of four.

If the hateful Japanese had not launched the war of aggression, Zhang Fa could have lived a happy life in his hometown.

The other item was a letter addressed to my wife herself.

"commander!"

Gu Guoliang's eyes instantly became moist, his nose felt sore, and tears fell to the ground.

"commander!!"

"Commander, let's go up, we can go up!"

"You are the commander of the army group, you must not do this!"

At this time, the soldiers who had been watching Zhang Fa on the side knelt on the ground and begged.

It is a shame for these soldiers that the commander personally leads the commando team.

The commander didn't care about his own life or death and even made arrangements for his funeral.

How can they have the face to stay here?

"No need to say more, this is the commander's order! Follow me!"

Zhang Fa's attitude was very resolute and his tone was firm, and he would not allow any doubt.

Then Zhang Fa led the way and went around the back of the command center.

The soldiers behind him followed one after another.

Gu Guoliang looked at Zhang Fa's departing back and clenched his hands into fists.

"Damn little devils!!"

Gu Guoliang uttered an angry curse.

……

Isogai Division Headquarters.

Division commander Rensuke Isogai stood outside the command center, looking at the battlefield situation ahead through the observation mirror.

"Yoshi!"

"The Sichuan Army is indeed vulnerable!"

"The tanks and artillery of the Locust Army are indeed the truth. Wherever they go, the Chinese army is terrified."

"Pass on my order. Whoever first captures the Sichuan Army's position will be commended by the commander of this division and promoted two ranks on the spot."

When Ishigu Renjie smiled, his old face looked like a blooming chrysanthemum, with wrinkles all over it.

The joy in my heart could no longer be hidden.

He was the first one to reach the city of Changsha in this battle. In the future, when the people of the empire mention this grand battle, the first person they think of is Commander-in-Chief Okamura Yasuji, and the second person will be him, Isoguri Rensuke!

This is a great opportunity to be remembered for generations and go down in history.

And he himself will be promoted one level because of the victory of this battle.

"Hai!"

The Japanese soldier wearing glasses and a moustache bowed immediately.

……

At this time, the sky was just getting light and the world was gray.

Only on the battlefield, countless flames of war illuminated the devastated rivers and mountains.

On the distant skyline, the rising sun of a new day has cast a halo of red light.

"Buzzing..."

"Om..."

Suddenly, there was a dense roar of fighter planes in the sky.

It was the advance team led by Liu Anguo, a formation of 10 MiG-15 fighter jets.

They were on the plane and could vaguely see some lights on the ground in the distance.

"Calling for fighter planes from the first division, calling for fighter planes from the first division..."

When Liu Anguo confirmed that they were about to arrive above the battlefield, he picked up the radio and started calling.

"The Ninth Theater Command received it. The Ninth Theater Command received it."

A few seconds later, the voice of the Ninth War Zone was heard from the Infinity Store.

"Our unit has arrived over Changsha as planned and discovered signs of fighting 20 kilometers ahead."

"Please confirm the unit number and notify them to mark the battle line. We will launch the attack."

Liu Anguo continued.

After the Ninth War Zone confirms which unit it is, it can order them to send signals and separate the enemy and our own battlefield.

Liu Anguo and his men can attack first.

The bomber brigade is right behind us and will arrive in ten minutes or so.

At that time, we will make a concerted effort and, with the cooperation of ground forces, directly wipe out the Japanese invaders who are invading Changsha.

The Japanese troops behind them dared not advance rashly.

"received……"

"The 17th Sichuan Army Group is ahead of you. The headquarters has ordered the Sichuan Army to release a signal."

The voice of the Ninth War Zone Command sounded again.

……

In the headquarters of the 17th Sichuan Army Group.

"What a pity the commander isn't here!"

"Send a message to the front line, have them spray gasoline, and send a signal to the Eighth Route Army's planes!"

Chief of Staff Gu Guoliang gave the order.

When he just received the call from the Ninth War Zone Command, he suspected for a moment that he was hallucinating. He had been waiting for reinforcements for the past few days and had become crazy.

After confirming it several times, Gu Guoliang realized that this was true.

The Eighth Route Army's air force has arrived.

As the chief of staff of the group army, he naturally knew about the glorious achievements of the Eighth Route Army Air Force in North China.

Now not only them, but the entire Two Lakes region is saved!

It’s a pity that Commander Zhang Fa took a division to raid the Japanese and was unable to hear the news in person.

"Communicator, can you contact the commander?" Gu Guoliang asked the communications soldier.

"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, the commander went out without a radio and we cannot call him." The signalman replied.

"Send someone to find the commander and tell them that our air support is coming!"

"The air force of the First Division of the Eighth Route Army has come to support us. Tell the commander and his men to come back!"

Gu Guoliang gave the order, and he also specifically instructed the air force of the 1st Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise he was worried that the commander wouldn't believe it.

The 17th Army's position.

Team leader Cheng Xin was confused when he received the call.

"The air force of the first division? Where did it come from?"

"How should we divide the battlefield by lighting gasoline?"

Cheng Xin asked doubtfully.

"Oh, this is to let us mark the difference between the devils and us. This side is the devil, and that side is us."

"The air force of Division 1 will only attack the enemy on that side of the line. They won't accidentally hurt us. Do you understand, Lao Cheng?"

The deputy head of the group said.

"Why don't you send someone there quickly?" Cheng Xin shouted with his eyes wide open.
