Chapter 412 Niukouping

Time passed by minute by minute, but strangely, no trace of the island army was found.

All the officers and soldiers of the guard division who were busy preparing for defense at the headquarters did not know at this time that there were 261 brothers in front of them who were using their lives to buy the most precious time for them...

"Strange, are the Japanese making some tricks?" Zheng Wengen muttered in confusion.

"Teacher seat, the first brigade has entered a defensive situation!" Zhang Lingfu stepped forward and reported loudly.

"Teacher seat, the Second Brigade enters a defensive situation." This is the voice of Sun Liren, the commander of the Second Brigade.

"Very good, all the troops are ready to fight." Zheng Wengen nodded: "The Island Army has not made any movement yet. I am afraid that they have other intentions and order more scouts to fully grasp the whereabouts of the Island Army."

At this time, they saw Zheng Yong, the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, come over and salute each other, and then they found that the commander-in-chief who appeared in front of them was actually fully armed today.

Zheng Wengen suddenly laughed.

"Zheng Wengen, why are you laughing at?" Zheng Yong asked with a stern face.

Zheng Wengen quickly stopped his smile and said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, I just remembered that when I was in the Northeast, you were also using a gun to supervise the battle in person. Now when I think about it, it seems that it is still the thing in front of me..."

It's been seven years, and it's been seven years.

Seven years ago, I really fought bloody battles on the position like an ordinary soldier with a gun in my arms; Seven years ago, I never thought that I would become the commander-in-chief commander of thousands of troops; today, seven years later, I would never think that I would appear on the front-line battlefield with a submachine gun.

"Commander-in-chief, all my guard divisions entered a defensive situation, but I don't know why the island army never appeared." Zheng Wengen, who returned to the main topic, said.

Zheng Yong frowned slightly.

"Since the island army has arrived, no matter what, it will definitely not return empty-handed..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a staff officer running over hurriedly: "Commander-in-chief, the 120th Regiment of the 40th Division had just received an emergency call from the 120th Regiment of the 40th Division. The 120th Regiment occupied Niukouping before the Island Army, and fought fiercely with the vanguard of the Island Army a few minutes later..."

"Hurry, move faster!"

Constantly wiping the sweat from his head, Zhong Weiguo's anxious voice kept ringing in the ears of the soldiers who were moving in a hurry.

The order was issued in a hurry. The 120th Regiment, which had just been withdrawn from the front line, was urgently ordered by the General Command to arrive at Niukouping in the shortest time and block the island army that might have sneaked into Niukouping.

Zhong Weiguo didn't quite understand how those islanders who should be killed walked around in front of the headquarters?

The troops immediately went to Niukouping. From the telegram from the General Command, Zhong Weiguo knew that he was racing against time and that every minute he arrived early would be a decisive effect.

"How long will it be?" Zhong Weiguo called Shi Cunyun, the commander of the 2nd Company of the First Battalion, and asked loudly.

"At this speed, it will take at least an hour to arrive!" Shi Cunyun glanced at the moving team and replied.

"No, it's too slow, it's still too slow." Zhong Weiguo yelled: "Shi Cunyun, immediately take your second company, throw away all the heavy weapons, and move forward with light equipment. No matter what method is used, be sure to arrive at Niukouping before three o'clock!"

"Yes, I will firmly arrive at Niukouping before three o'clock!"

This order played a decisive role in the 120th Regiment's occupation of Niukouping before the island army.

The second company, which was moving forward with light equipment, began to march towards Niukouping at full speed at the speed of sprinting.

"If you fall behind, if you don't care, if you don't have enough energy, you will be the first to arrive at Niukouping and will be rewarded with a hundred yuan!" This was the order issued by Shi Cunyun, the commander of the second company, and this order greatly stimulated the brothers of the second company.

Hundreds of people rushed forward frantically, and the people looked curiously at whether this national army was going crazy.

So far, apart from the bombing of the island army, no war has occurred here. I have seen the training of national soldiers before, but I have never seen training so crazy.

Figures rushed past the people, and some people wanted to ask questions, but the Kuomintang soldiers who were still in front of them had already "swept" and no more shadows...

Zhong Weiguo should be grateful for making the most wise decision.

When the second company and the first row arrived at Niukouping first, before they could take a breath, the figure of the island army's vanguard troops had already appeared in the sight of a row of officers and soldiers.

"beat!"

With the roar of a long row, all the weapons opened fire together.

The island army, who was heading towards Niukouping, did not expect that the Chinese army would appear here so soon. Without any warning, they were beaten to a mess. More than a dozen bodies fell here, and the rest hurriedly retreated and reorganized their troops to launch an attack on Niukouping.

Then the second company all entered the position, and the large-scale attack of the island army also began.

Both sides advanced lightly and attacked each other with light weapons. Although the island army was large in number, the terrain of Niukouping's easy to defend and difficult to attack determined that the island army could not seize Niukouping in a short period of time.

When the 120th Regiment arrived, it meant that the island army's plan to attack Niukouping and cut off the retreat route of the Third War Zone General Command had failed...

The island army's sneak attack troops began to build fortifications on the spot, collect food and grass, and prepare to form a confrontation with the 120th Regiment here in order to find favorable fighter jets to launch another attack on Niukouping...

"It's so dangerous!"

After listening to the staff's report, several officers from the guard division looked at each other. As long as they were a few minutes later, Niukouping would inevitably fall into the hands of the island army. If it weren't for Zhong Weiguo's quick decision, if it wasn't for the second company's quick action...

Everything on the battlefield is so unexpected...

"Reported, the traces of the 6th Division of the Island Army were found, and it was less than thirty miles away from the front-line defensive position of our headquarters!"

The scout's report suddenly made the atmosphere tense, and Zheng Yong murmured: "Here, he finally came, but why did he come so late? This does not conform to the rules of the island army's sneak attack..."

No matter what unknown happens, what should come will always come.

On October 20, 20th, the defense battle of the Third War Zone General Headquarters broke out!

This is a battle that no one could have expected. It is a war that pushed the Third War Zone General Command to the front line and the biggest challenge Zheng Yong faced.

The Mikou Infantry Brigade of the 6th Division of the Island Army was still rushing to the front.

The time was too long to be wasted by the Chinese soldiers, which had already made Yaguchi Saburo feel vaguely worried about the raid, and when he arrived at the scheduled battlefield, this worry quickly became a reality.

First, news came that the raid troops failed to attack Niukouping, and then when the Mikou Infantry Brigade reached the designated attack location, it found that the Chinese army on the opposite side had already completed its defense.

"Report to the division commander, a large number of Chinese troops appeared opposite the attack site, with many personnel and excellent weapons. The Mikou Infantry Brigade did not dare to attack rashly and waited for the final instructions of the headquarters."

Yakou Kunsaburo said helplessly.

If it were the one who stepped onto the land of China, then he would definitely charge at all costs to maintain the so-called "glory" and "pride" of the imperial warriors...

But so many battles he had experienced in China made him calmer. The Chinese army was definitely not as vulnerable as he imagined. In many aspects, they even surpassed the Imperial army.

Yakuko Saburo found that the Chinese army opposite did not arrive because of him and launched an attack without a stable foothold, which further strengthened his belief.

The purpose of the Chinese army is to guard here!

The headquarters of the 6th Division of the Island Army was very fast, and even arrived at the battlefield before the main combat troops, and began to set up the headquarters location very close to the front line.

Officers above the brigade commander were summoned to the headquarters for a military meeting as soon as possible.

Obviously, the commander of the 6th Division, Guangyuan Yiciro, was quite satisfied with this military operation.

"First of all, I must thank Yakuko for his efforts for us. It is his outstanding performance that has enabled us to pass Huanxi Ridge without paying any price, laying a good foundation for the annihilation of the General Command of the Third War Zone of China. Everyone, I hope everyone can learn Yakukoko and work hard for the victory of the empire's holy war..."

He gasped for a moment and sat there calmly and said.

"Now we have reached the designated location. Although Niukouping has been occupied by the Chinese, our troops have also built fortifications outside Niukouping, forming a confrontation. I can even say that the purpose of cutting off the retreat of the Chinese General Command has been barely achieved...

Now opposite us is the core of the brain of the Third War Zone of the Chinese. They are already prepared, but this is not important. Under the powerful offensive of my 6th Division, the Chinese defense will soon collapse. I have asked the headquarters for aircraft support. Everyone, work hard for the holy war!"

"Yes, work together for the jihad!" All the island officers stood up and said loudly.

"I order!" Guangyuan said with a serious expression.

"Today, all units will rest. At 9 o'clock tomorrow, tomorrow, with the Mikou Infantry Brigade as the vanguard, launching an attack on the Chinese positions. The 23 and 24 infantry corps will attack from both wings at the same time. Be sure to break through the Chinese defense line in the shortest time and fight hard for the final victory of the battle..."

Seeing his subordinates' expressions of excitement and eagerness to try, Guangyuan said solemnly.

"You guys, I must remind you, please don't forget the shame that the Sixth Division once suffered. Now is the time for us to ask the Chinese for the bloody battle. For the honor of the Sixth Division and the honor of the commander of the Gushoufu Division, fight hard, warriors of the Empire!"

"Fight hard, fight hard!"

These fanatical soldiers shouted loudly, constantly waving their fists. The shame, in their opinion, will be completely washed away in this battle. The glory of the holy war is already in their hands. Victory will soon come to the Sixth Division...
