The Chinese armored troops set off on time at 12 pm and began to march towards Meiliu and Madeya separately. They were going to launch an attack on these two defensive positions at 2 am.

In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, before the troops marched, commanders at all levels issued orders to the soldiers, not to speak or make loud noises when they were in the car!

Hu Bin also knew that Xiang Feng's troops had set out in the command center. He was already very tired at this time. He had not slept since last night. Now, while the combat troops had not yet arrived at the combat area, Hu Bin lay on the bench of the command center to rest.

The staff officers also knew that Hu Bin had not had a rest for a long time and was very sleepy now, so it was not very urgent telegrams, or they were reported to the senior staff officers for handling. The senior staff officers had great authority, or they just went to Li Dalong and asked Li Dalong to deal with it.

Li Dalong took a break last night and now he lay on the table at the command center for a while. If there is anything, he will get up to deal with those things at any time.

Almost an hour later, Ding Wanzhong and Xiang Feng's troops were almost approaching the Japanese positions. In order to confuse the Japanese, the vehicles only had a headlight on several cars, as long as the driver could see clearly.

At this time, Ding Wanzhong was sitting on the armored command vehicle and watching the march of the entire army, there was no other sound except the sound of the vehicle engine. Ding Wanzhong climbed out of the command vehicle and sat on the roof, with other soldiers on the roof.

"Teacher Commander, why did you climb out!" Sitting on the roof of the armored command vehicle was Ding Wanzhong's guard unit. A guard soldier saw Ding Wanzhong coming out and asked at him.

"Come out for some breath, Made, the weather is so good!" Ding Wanzhong looked up at the sky and said, "The stars in the sky were very clear. He had not looked at the sky carefully for a long time.

"Commander, you said, when will we be able to completely defeat the Japanese? I heard that Brother Bin has killed a lot of Japanese. Why haven't he completely defeated the Japanese?" A warrior said to Ding Wanzhong.

"Don't talk nonsense, the division commander is thinking about the problem!" A platoon leader next to him immediately said, shaking as they moved forward with the armored vehicles.

"It's okay, I haven't considered the problem. I've been thinking for so long and I'm still thinking, I won't be exhausted!" Ding Wanzhong said with a smile.

Then he looked at the soldier and explained: "We also want to win, but the Japanese have more troops, more than our Yan'an. They have millions of troops. Now we can only fight with them slowly. There will always be a day of winning. You also know that Brother Bin killed so many Japanese soldiers, and slowly, the Japanese will always be gone!"

"That's right!" the soldier said with a embarrassed smile, probably because the platoon leader just mentioned him.

"You may not know. Four years ago, let alone tanks, our Yan'an troops didn't even have a few cannons. We were able to block the attacks of the Japanese at that time. Now we have cannons, planes, tanks, and by the way, we also have our Type 81 rifles. We made them ourselves, so what are we afraid of?

At that time, if we got a 38th hood, it would be amazing. The soldiers of the entire regiment were jealous. Now you look at it, the 38th hood is nothing. Who wants this gun? If it doesn't hit the vital point, it will not kill anyone. And you'd better shoot a shot and pull the bolt.

Now you look at our automatic rifle, a bullet with a magazine, 30 rounds, and it is enough to pull the bolt once, and its firepower is strong! So, our country's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese.

Also, look, today we are on the front line, the Japanese have 200,000 troops, and there are only about 100,000 troops we have invested in the attack, 1 fights 2, and we have also killed the Japanese. Do you think, can we win?" Ding Wanzhong said with a smile as he looked at the soldiers.

"Yes!" Several soldiers sitting in the car nodded firmly!

"Teacher, when do you think we will return to China? I heard that we can't return to China yet, right?" Another squad leader looked at Ding Wanzhong and asked.

"Return to China? Well! I want to go home too, you guys want to, we have been out for more than half a year." Ding Wanzhong asked looking at the soldiers.

"Yeah!" The soldiers all nodded.

"But we can't go back. If we go back, the Japanese will come in from the borders of our country. At that time, many people will be killed by the Japanese. You have also seen that during the day, the Japanese use local recruits as cannon fodder, and they ignore their lives and death and keep charging. We have to kill them.

Think about it, if we go back and the Japanese ask our compatriots to be cannon fodder, will we fight or not? If we fight, we are fighting our own compatriots. If we don’t fight, the Japanese will kill us.

So, for the sake of the people of our country, we may not be able to go back now. However, you should also rest assured that once you have the opportunity to go back, I think Brother Bin will definitely let everyone go back. Who doesn’t want to be home, right?” Ding Wanzhong explained to the soldiers with a smile.

This must be explained. The soldiers have been out for more than half a year, so there is no one who doesn’t want to miss home, especially as Chinese people, who hope to return to their roots. They don’t want to die abroad.

Although the bodies of the soldiers who died in the army will be transported back to China, they still want to fight in China. In this way, they believe that if they die, their souls can find their own home and see their families. However, abroad, they are afraid that their souls will not find their way home.

However, after they heard what Ding Wanzhong said, they nodded. They also saw the situation today. The Japanese did not regard the local soldiers as humans, but just let them charge. Charging under such powerful firepower would be a death sentence!

"Teacher Commander, we are almost here!" A staff officer came out of the command car and said to Ding Wanzhong who was sitting on the roof.

"Okay!" Ding Wanzhong heard this and moved to the exit of the roof of the car. The soldiers helped him down. After arriving at the command center, the staff officer pointed at his current position. Ding Wanzhong saw that it was less than 5 kilometers away from the Japanese defense line, and now he really needed to prepare.

"Notify the vanguard that when we reach a position 3 kilometers away from the Japanese, stop and let the infantry get off the vehicle. According to the combat plan we had agreed on before, move carefully to the Japanese, and don't make too much noise!" Ding Wanzhong said to the correspondent.

The correspondent immediately picked up the microphone of the command center and started talking.

At this time, the vanguard troops did arrive 3 kilometers away from the defense line in front of the Japanese. After receiving the order, the soldiers turned off the headlights, then walked to the Japanese, and bypassed the piles in front of them. The vanguard troops could see the strong lights on the Japanese positions in the distance.

The strong lights were stragging the entire Japanese defense line, and they were also worried that they would be attacked by the enemy. Fortunately, the strongholds they set up in the main defense line were killed by the special forces troops, so that Chinese troops could get so close.

As infantry units, no commander did not know that the reason why Chinese troops were so safe was that there were special forces escorting in the dark. They cleared out the troops that came to investigate in advance, and killed all the strongholds set up by the Japanese on the march in advance, making the Japanese completely blind.

Not long after the vanguard troops advanced, the large troops behind also arrived. They dispersed the cars and parked the cars, the soldiers got out of the cars and gathered, followed their battalion commanders forward, crossed the small piles of soil, and could see the Japanese defense line in the distance.

After 20 minutes, the entire army was fully deployed and was carefully leaning towards the Japanese, while the armored troops behind were waiting for Ding Wanzhong's orders.

"Team Commander, Commander Xiang's telegram, their troops have been launched and they have begun to march towards the Japanese. Please instruct!" A staff officer took the telegram and read it to Xiang Feng.

"Order them to launch an attack at any time, and we can launch an attack at any time. Now, the attack will not make the Japanese alert too much in advance. You can directly attack!" Ding Wanzhong immediately said to the staff officer after hearing the Chief of Staff's words.

"Yes!" The staff officer immediately went to send a telegram.

At this time, Ding Wanzhong had already let the armored command vehicle drive to the hillside so that he could climb to the roof of the car and watch the situation on the Japanese side.

"Report, the telegram from the special forces regiment, he hopes that our tank troops can quickly break through the Japanese position No. 7, because behind the Japanese position No. 7, there is a Japanese artillery cluster. Once they open fire, it will cause huge casualties to our troops. The Japanese position No. 7 is a brigade of the Japanese who is defending!

The Japanese artillery cluster is directly behind the No. 7 position. If the armored troops are fast and can break through within 5 minutes, they can stop the Japanese artillery attack!" Another staff officer said to Ding Wanzhong with a telegram.

"Tell them, I understand. I have ordered an armored regiment to take an infantry regiment to attack the Japanese's position No. 7. The entire attack starts here. We will not let the Japanese artillery positions open fire!" Ding Wanzhong said to the staff officer.

"Yes!" The staff officer heard this and went to send a telegram.

They had comprehensive intelligence support before, which was observed by the special forces regiment, so before setting off, Ding Wanzhong discussed with several division commanders that the artillery positions should be killed in advance so as to minimize the casualties of the troops. Therefore, on Ding Wanzhong's side, position No. 7 is their key defense line to quickly break through.
