At 6 a.m. on June 7, nineteen days had passed since the Japanese attacked Shanglu. The Japanese boast that they would capture Shanglu within seven days had been severely slapped in the face. During these nineteen days, the Japanese lost no less than troops.

At dawn on the 6th, tens of thousands of troops of the First Division began to evacuate Haiwan Town at night and headed for Zhongda Road Pukou District. At the same time, the remaining troops of the Northern Army also went east at night, detoured from Baoshan to the rear of the Japanese in Pukou District, forming a pincer attack with the First Division. At ten o'clock, the armies of both sides arrived at the battle site.

At the Gaojing Town Command, Zong Yucheng, the commander, held a cigarette in his hand and said to the Hunan Army Commander Chen and the Yunnan and Guizhou Army Commander Wang, "This battle plan is very precise and has a high degree of implementation. Once successful, the Japs' snake-like offensive will be completely defeated. The Japs in Pukou District are at their weakest point. So, if this battle plan was drawn up by Qin Lin, he will undoubtedly become a talented general in the future."

The three of them didn't know whether to be happy or sad. They each assisted different forces. Now the largest force, the Qin family, had a son of a genius. How could they be happy? But now the whole country was united in fighting the Japanese invaders, and the Qin family had a son of a genius, which was something for the Daqian Kingdom to be happy about!

"We still have 63,000 combatants. According to the plan, we have to block all the escape routes of the devils, eliminate the fleeing devils, and block the devils coming from outside for support. The Qin army has made our army as strong as steel within ten hours. We can't let any devils go out or come in!"

"Ten hours!"

Chen Zhongjun said, "We have more than 60,000 troops. We can hold out for ten hours, but can this single division wipe out a division and a mixed brigade of the Japanese in Zhongda Road in ten hours?"

"Yes!"

Commander Wang of Yungui Army said, "There are at least 3 devils on Zhongda Road now!"

"Not only that, the devils also have airplanes and artillery. It would be very difficult to severely damage the devil's 30,000 troops within ten hours. But the result of this victory is indeed very attractive. Now we can only trust the Qin army, at least it is better than trusting the court."

"Yes."

Zong Yucheng said, "The devils have planes and cannons, but the Qin family has them too! Moreover, even if the plan fails, we have not engaged the main force of the devils, so we can withdraw from the battle at any time. But I have to say this: before the Qin army is defeated, we cannot withdraw a single soldier!"

"Please rest assured, Brother Zong."

......

After the First Division evacuated at night, the army mobilized, and the Japanese intelligence naturally received the news, but it was too late, the First Division had already arrived at the battle site. For this reason, the Japanese stationed in the North City took the opportunity to attack Haiwan Town. After Gu Yuankui requested support from the First Division, he found that the people were gone!

"Damn it!"

Gu Yuankui was at the command center looking at the deputy chief of staff and members of his supervision team who had been transferred from above. He was just about to insert them into the Solitary Division, but he didn't expect that tens of thousands of the enemy troops disappeared overnight.

"Commander, the devils have caught up with us."

"withdraw!"

Gu Yuankui gritted his teeth and said, "Report to Commander Hu that the First Division deserted the battlefield, resulting in the loss of the important town of Haiwan. Our Eighth Army and Fifth Army fought hard, with tens of thousands of casualties, and fought to the death with the devils. However, due to the withdrawal of the First Division, the defense line was eventually broken by the devils, and our Eighth Army and Fifth Army had no choice but to withdraw from the front line."

After saying this, Gu Yuankui quickly evacuated by car.

At this time, Qin Lin established a temporary command post in Guzhen, on the edge of Pukou District. His heavy artillery brigade built artillery positions in Yushan Village, Guzhen. There were 48 105mm howitzers, 48 ​​Krupp 75mm field guns, and 48 88mm anti-aircraft guns. A total of 144 heavy artillery pieces were divided into three artillery positions and all in place. The range of these 144 heavy artillery pieces was as close as 6000 meters, and the longest range was an astonishing meters. This was the confidence of the Unique Division.

In addition, the two infantry brigades began to attack the Japanese 12th Division and the 71st Mixed Brigade. As a Type B division, the Japanese 12th Division had a total of 2.4 people. After deducting the war losses, there were about 1.8 combat personnel left. The 71st Mixed Brigade had 8100 combat personnel. In total, there were more than 2.6 combat troops of the Japanese in Pukou District.

Qin Lin's battle plan was still a fierce attack tactic, which was to break the Japanese's Bushido spirit with the determination of head-on confrontation and let the whole world know the lineup of Qin's army.

Looking at the time, it is now 10:59. Qin Lin is looking at the map in the command center, feeling very nervous, because this is the first time that the 1st Division has fought against the Japanese division, and it is a head-on confrontation. If they lose this battle, what kind of impact will it cause, Qin Lin understands!

"beat!"

Qin Lin slammed the table, and the chief of staff and his two deputy division commanders personally commanded the troops. The first to attack was the heavy artillery brigade. After receiving the order, the three heavy artillery regiments began to fire shells.

"fire!"

144 artillery shells were fired at three locations. The first target of the bombing was the Japanese 71st Mixed Brigade. This brigade was composed of Japanese Marines and was also the first unit to commit a heinous crime in the Daqian Kingdom.

"boom!"

48 field artillery shells fell, bombing the northern area of ​​Pukou where the Japanese 71st Mixed Brigade was stationed. As an attacking force, the Japanese had no preparation for constructing defensive fortifications, but the Japanese Special High Technology Department was not there to sit back and do nothing. When Qin Lin mobilized a large force to arrive in Pukou District, the Japanese high-level officials received the news and began to build simple defensive positions.

"Boom!"

The Krupp 75mm field gun was extremely powerful and had a very fast firing rate. In just a quarter of an hour, it fired a thousand shells. This time, Qin Lin also emptied out all the resources of the First Division.

The entire Pukou North District was reduced to a sea of ​​fire, as was the Pukou Central District. The same was true for the 12th Division of the Japanese Army, where 92 artillery pieces bombarded the entire Pukou District with a total of more than 3000 shells, and the Japanese Army was instantly stunned.

"idiot!"

The commander of the Japanese 12th Division listened to the bombing outside and thought to himself that it was incredible. How could the Daqian Kingdom have such powerful artillery? The artillery was even more powerful than that of the artillery regiment directly under their division.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, the flying unit has arrived."

"very good."

Yong Deyoutai pouted and raised his banhu and said, "Let the flying troops teach the Daqian troops a profound lesson. Let them know that our Great East Ocean Empire is invincible!"

"Hi Yi!"

At this time, under the sky, a flying squadron carrying 36 Type 24 fighters was flying in the air, and there was also a bomber squadron carrying 60 Type light bombers. A total of fighter planes arrived over the front line and began to bomb the st Division.

Type 97 light bomber
