Warlords: I just made a little fortune, but I didn’t build a country.

On December 12, as the first batch of Japanese invaders entered the territory of Yingnan, the situation in Yingnan was in chaos. Eight divisions and five tank brigades went into full-scale battle with more than 9 Dragon and Tiger Troops from the First War Zone.

Taking advantage of this, Qin Lin closed all the routes north of Tianhe Avenue. The original defense line of more than ten kilometers has now been extended to 33 kilometers. Qin Lin’s task is to defend this defense line and prevent the second batch of Japanese troops from entering the southern territory of the camp.

As for the Fourth War Zone, the war zone formed by Cao's army and two new army corps began to abandon the front line they were defending to support the First War Zone, while the Second War Zone formed by the Hunan Army and the Wolf Army was responsible for containing the Sixth Front Army of the Oriental Kingdom, and the defense line of the Fourth War Zone was taken over by the First Corps of the New Army directly under the headquarters. This means that the court has invested another 12 troops, and now the number of troops deployed on the front line has reached more than 160 million.

The entire combat plan of the headquarters was to combine the total strength of more than 80 troops from the First and Fourth War Zones to eliminate the 20 Japanese troops trapped in the south of the camp. The Third War Zone was to guard the defense line and prevent the gate of the south of the camp from being opened. The Second War Zone was to tie down the main force of the Japanese Sixth Front Army.

......

At the Jincheng Third War Zone Command, all the top brass of the 7th Army were discussing the defense plan. They had to use 16 troops to defend against the remaining 30 troops of the Japanese Third Front Army. There were 6 tank brigades, 8 Type A divisions, and a suicide squad brigade. This battle would be very difficult to fight.

"With a 33-kilometer defense line, this headquarters really thinks highly of us."

Deputy Commander and Political Commissar Yang Wenbin said, "Before, the entire headquarters of 150 million troops defended a 160-kilometer front line, with 1 soldiers guarding almost every kilometer. Now we are defending a 33-kilometer front line, with an average of only to soldiers defending one kilometer. The enemy has twice as many troops as us. How can we fight this way? We don't even have air superiority!"

"We have to fight even if it's difficult," Qin Lin said. "At least we are on the defensive, waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out. We have solid fortifications. The First War Zone is different from the Fourth War Zone. Although we have 800,000 versus 200,000, we have the advantage. However, these 200,000 or so Japs are almost the elite of the entire Third Front Army. So, they are not easy to fight either. There is also the Second War Zone to contain an entire Japs Front Army, which makes it even harder to fight."

"Okay," Qin Lin said, "We don't care about other battle zones. Now let's talk about how we should fight this protracted defensive battle in the third battle zone! Wen Zhong, you are the chief of staff, so tell me what you think first?"

"I don't know if you have ever screened rice bugs in the countryside before," Deng Wenzhong said, "It's just using a filter to filter out the bugs in the rice over and over again. My defense plan is the filter tactic."

"Filter tactics?"

Qin Lin became interested and asked, "Can you tell me in detail?"

"Look, Marshal," Deng Wenzhong pointed at the map and said, "The Japanese Third Front Army still has more than 30 troops. It is very difficult for us to prevent a single Japanese soldier from entering the southern part of the camp. If we do this, the casualties will be huge.

However, we can adopt a filtering tactic, that is, attack one group and release another. Yingnan has an army of 24, which is a huge advantage over the Japanese troops. In addition, the headquarters has three corps directly under it. In addition to the first corps, there are two corps, with a total of troops. Therefore, even if Yingnan is attacked by another Japanese troops, it will not be a big deal.

Therefore, we can not let any Japanese troops pass through in the early stage, and let the friendly forces in the south of the camp stabilize their position first. In the middle stage, we can send Japanese troops with more firepower and stronger combat power into the south of the camp, so that our pressure will be much less. Of course, the number of Japanese troops sent in each time cannot exceed one division. "

"What if headquarters questions us?"

"question?"

Deng Wenzhong smiled and said, "Then explain the filter tactics to the headquarters. Say that Yingnan has sufficient troops. We will slowly send the devils in from the three battle zones. This is better than facing hundreds of thousands of devils all at once, right? In this way, we can slowly consume the devil's troops and turn Yingnan into a furnace. We can refine and destroy the devils little by little. In this way, the devil's Third Front Army will have several divisions for us to refine. As long as the devil's Third Front Army is seriously injured, we can counterattack!"

"wonderful!"

"Wonderful!"

Qin Lin smiled and said, "Let's fight like this, but I'll add one thing, that is, in the early stage we must show the style of the Qin army. This front line, the recruitment plan of the three provinces of Hei will be launched on this."

"clear."

After the order from the Third War Zone Command was issued, the Qin 7th Army, four infantry brigades, and an anti-aircraft artillery brigade began to arrive at the corresponding defense zones according to the combat plan. The entire 33-kilometer defense zone was composed of five points, starting from Daye Town, then Jincheng, Xinzhuang Town, Jianye Town, and Zhou Town, forming a 33-kilometer war zone defense line.

The Japanese Third Front Army, eight divisions and six tank brigades also arrived in front of this defense line. General Tianchi of the Third Front Army sat in a jeep under the scorching sun and marched with the soldiers.

"Your Excellency, Commander."

A colonel staff officer came to Tianchi Jōta and said, "Should we stay here? There are a large number of imperial troops in the Jincheng area blocking us from entering the southern part of the camp. At this time, the deputy commander has already led the advance troops to fight against the imperial troops of the Daqian Kingdom. What should we do?"

"Station?"

Tianchi Shogun was a thin man with a moustache and a square face with three general stars on his face. He said, "Let the Yamamoto Division attack the most solid Jincheng of this defensive force head-on. I want to show the soldiers of the Great Qian Kingdom that the Third Front Army of the Great East Ocean Empire is so powerful that they can look up to it!"

"Hiyi."

After Tianchi Masata gave the order, the 311th Division, also known as the Yamamoto Division, began to rush to Jincheng, intending to break through Jincheng and allow the large force to enter the Yingnan area.

The 71st Infantry Division, which was Yan Haokong's Infantry Division, was responsible for the defense of Jincheng. During this period in Jincheng, Yan Haokong was strengthening Jincheng's defenses and the fortifications around Jincheng every day. After more than half a month of construction, the Japanese finally arrived.

"Commander, a whole division has arrived!"

"Haha, you're just in time!" Yan Haokong laughed, "Otherwise our fortifications would have been in vain. Now they can finally be put to use. Let's cheer up, brothers, and block the enemy's attack according to the original defense plan."

"boom!"

As soon as Yan Haokong finished speaking, the Japanese bombers and fighter planes began to take off.

"Damn it!"

"Let the anti-aircraft artillery brigade attack us," Yan Haokong shouted, "It seems that the young marshal knew that the Japanese would attack our Jincheng, so he specially transferred the anti-aircraft artillery brigade to us."

Under Yan Haokong's order, the anti-aircraft artillery brigade, all 60 88mm anti-aircraft guns were in place!
