    "Is it so difficult for us, who have lost air supremacy, to let our troops march secretly?"

    After Junroku Matsuura learned that the 111th Brigade was discovered again, he couldn't help but murmured to himself.

    He has always believed that he has a strong force of 60,000 people. If Changzhou's troops are added to the army, he has more than 80,000 troops.

    80,000 people faced the 40,000 people of the 88th Army. He felt that he could give them a fight, so he didn't want to just be beaten passively here.

    He used the 22nd Division to launch a defensive posture in the direction of Zhenjiang, and asked the 17th Division and the more than 20,000 troops from Changzhou to attack Luoxi Town, and he also sent a brigade from his 106th Division  , wanted to take a detour to attack the rear of Zhenjiang and disrupt the subordinates of the 88th Army, but unexpectedly they were easily discovered by the 88th Army.

    "Order the 111th Brigade to come back! Give up the original plan. The troops that have been discovered have lost the meaning of the attack!"

    Junroku Matsuura gave up the original plan. He knew that the Eighty-Eighth Group Army still had reserves available.

    "Ha~yi~"

    Time passed slowly, and as the time reached the afternoon, the battle also reached its most tragic moment.

    It can be said that the 132nd Division fought hard against the Little Devil's 22nd Division on the battlefield directly ahead, but the 22nd Division was also very painful.

    Overwhelming bombs were dropped continuously, and bullets flew towards them like a rainstorm.

    In one morning, both the 183rd Regiment and the 175th Regiment of the 22nd Division were disabled.

    The 183rd Regiment relied on the rescue of the 175th Regiment and went down with more than a thousand wounded.

    The 175th Wing held on until noon, and withdrew again under the rescue of the 184th Wing.

    But in just over three hours, a regiment of more than 3,800 people fought, and only a little over a thousand were left in the end.

    The planes overhead never stopped bombing them.

    Eighty-eighth Group Army Headquarters

    "Chief Commander, the Japs in Yunyang resisted very resolutely this morning! Just now Fang Shengli sent a telegram. In one morning, more than 500 people were killed in their regiment. Our Eighty-Eighth Group Army is in a  There have never been such heavy casualties in this morning¡¯s battle!¡±

    Yang Jie looked at Zhou Weiguo sitting there and sighed.

    "It's very simple! The little devil worked hard. But I have to say that the tactics of the Tuqiao First Time of the 22nd Division of the Little Devil are not bad. I also read the telegram from Fang Shengli just now. The little devil actually sent  Supervise the team.

    This morning the regiment launched three strong attacks, but in the end they were all defeated by the Japs.  "

    Zhou Weiguo lit a cigarette and said.

    Originally, Zhou Weiguo thought that in one morning, the 132nd Division, with its powerful firepower and overwhelming advantage, would be able to break through the Little Japanese's first position.

    Who would have known that the Japs had used nearly five thousand lives to fill up this line of defense.

    "The 132nd Division has its hands tied in this battle. A Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal separates Yunyang Town and Danyang City. Without this Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the 132nd Division could launch an attack from the northwest of Yunyang!"

    Yang Jie shook his head, it was a pity.  This time when they attacked Yunyang Town, they had no intention of eating the three divisions of the Little Devils in one go.  They just want to eat the 106th Division and the 17th Division.

    The 22nd Division just hopes to defeat them.

    It¡¯s not that Zhou Weiguo doesn¡¯t want to eat it, but because the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal separates Yunyang and Danyang.  The 22nd Division and the 106th Division can only choose to eat one.

    If the 22nd Division is defeated, the 106th Division can retreat from Chunjiang Town and other places.

    The 134th Division in Luoxi Town could not stop them.

    If the 106th Division is eaten, at least half of the 132nd Division's troops will be in the east of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, ready to intercept the 106th Division.

    There are only about two regiments of troops in the west of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, or even less.  After all, the 106th Division is a special division with 25,000 people.

    With a small number of troops, it is impossible to encircle them, and Zhou Weiguo is now implementing the second plan, killing the 106th Division and the 17th Division, and seriously injuring the 22nd Division.

    "The 132nd Division now only has one regiment in the west of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

    It can be said that it is quite crazy. An infantry regiment of more than 4,000 people attacks a division of 21,000 people.

    "Our hands and feet are tied, aren't the little devils the same?"Said his eyes.

    "Okay! You two, please be quiet. I'm here to ask you two today, how is your unit being organized? Have the training of each unit been completed?"

    Zhang Xingchen asked after glaring at the two of them.

    "Master, we came here to talk about this issue. Damn it, back then we thought that the deployment of our troops would be better and we would have more artillery. As a result, our deployment is better now, but our artillery is not enough.

    According to the configuration issued to us by the headquarters, even an infantry battalion has a field artillery company, which must be equipped with 75-mm caliber artillery.

    An infantry regiment must be equipped with a field artillery battalion, and now our division also has a division-affiliated artillery regiment.

    "This is not ignorance, but I am shocked when I calculate it. Our artillery is not enough!"

    The little artillery we had before could not even satisfy the artillery of a regiment. A field artillery battalion required three artillery companies, plus the field artillery companies of three infantry battalions, a regiment required six artillery companies.  You said we should go there to find so many artillery?

    ¡°And their light and heavy machine guns are so powerful that our soldiers have never used them before.  Commander Sun of the 133rd Division over there asked our soldiers to practice first.  You said you did this!  ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
