Malan Town.

Sato brigade.

Shun Sato was listening to the sound of artillery fire in the distance.

I was very anxious because the dense sound of artillery fire was not something that Suzuki United could do.

Then it must be the large unit of the Independent First Division!

When the sound of the artillery fire disappeared, Sato Shun had already realized something.

So he hurriedly called the communications soldier.

"How is it... Did the people from Suzuki United send a telegram?"

Sato Shun asked.

"Report to the General, there is no news about Colonel Suzuki."

"It's been more than two hours..."

The communications soldier said honestly that he had been waiting in front of the radio station, afraid of missing any news.

After hearing this, Sato Shun knew what was going on.

"That's probably... Suzuki United is in danger."

"The round of artillery bombing just now lasted too long, and the sound was huge, and it might have even reached the level of artillery fire cover..."

"If I was not mistaken, it would probably cause the death of thousands of soldiers without preparation!"

"I didn't expect that the artillery fire of the Independent First Division was really so fierce, but we underestimated the enemy."

Shun Sato had imagined that scene...

Only by firing hundreds of cannons together can the effect of the explosion just now be achieved.

He had already thought of the Independent First Division's many cannons, but listened to the endless sound of cannons.

Shun Sato realized that there were not many cannons, but a lot of them.

It's even more than all the cannons in the Fifth Division combined!

In fact, what Sato Shun didn't know was that these were just two brigades plus half an artillery brigade.

The real hundreds of shots are still behind.

"Wait for another hour to see if there is any news from Suzuki United..."

"And let a reconnaissance team go to reconnaissance..."

The most important thing now is to quickly know whether the Suzuki United was annihilated.

If the Suzuki United were really wiped out, it would be really hard to fight the Independent First Division, and its plan would be ruined!

This is an extremely terrible thing.

"In addition, send a telegram to General Asakamiya immediately, saying that the Suzuki United is likely to be wiped out..."

"Sato Brigade is resting in Malan Town!"

Sato Shun ordered.

"Hi! Your Excellency General!"

"God General, what should we do next?"

Yama Hashimoto, the captain of another infantry corps of the Sato Brigade, asked.

"Keep waiting, it's going to get dark now."

"It is not appropriate to march, and things will be discussed until tomorrow morning."

"If the Suzuki United were eliminated, the Independent First Division would definitely not let us go..."

“Malan Town will be their first choice!”

Shun Sato has also thought of this problem. The Independent First Division is not a fool. The reconnaissance plane just now may have discovered its location.

"Order all soldiers to prepare for combat and send more sentinels..."

"Prevent the night attack of the First Independent Division!"

Night battles are the things that the Eighth Route Army is best at.

Now they are in the territory of the First Independent Division, so they must be vigilant.

If there is a sudden attack from the Independent Division, then they will become the flesh of the knife and the chopping board!

.....

As soon as Long Weng left, new progress was made in the situation in Malan Town.

Zhang Yunqing has obtained news from the reconnaissance aircraft squadron.

"The division commander, the reconnaissance aircraft squadron, came back and reported that the large forces of the Fifth Division have not been discovered yet, and they are all very scattered."

"Currently, one is in the Malan area and the other is in the Hanzhuang area."

The Third Brigade Commander Wang Shaoan had appeared in Zhang Yunqing's room at this moment.

Zhang Yunqing looked at the map on the wall.

"Malan... Hanzhuang is exactly where we set it up. This Japanese man has a good sense of smell. I know that Hanzhuang is also the key to taking Xiyang County directly..."

"But, isn't this just right for our thoughts?"

"The group of Japanese in Malan Town may be the brigade where the infantry regiment defeated by Da Biao and the others..."

"I originally wanted to lead us out, but I didn't expect it to be wiped out directly..."

"I don't know what they'll think now."

Wang Shaoan also smiled and looked at Zhang Yunqing.

He also wanted to participate in the battle, but the division commander had already assigned tasks to the First Brigade and the Second Brigade.

And they became the reserve team in the Hanzhuang area.

"Teacher, according to your opinion, the Japanese in Malan Town are likely to have only one infantry regiment and some other troops."

"Hanzhuang area is the location of the large force of the Fifth Division..."

"What should we do now?"

Now, only the troops of the First Brigade and the Second Brigade are stationed near Shangzhuang, Malan Town.

The troops of the Third Brigade and the Fourth Brigade sent some people to slowly rush to the Hanzhuang area.

However, the number of people is not large, only two groups of three or four thousand.

"Take an initiative and gradually repel it!"

"Since they want to lure the snake out of the hole, we'll catch it off guard!"

"Order, the first and second brigades are slowly moving towards Malan Town!"

"Your 3rd Brigade and 4th Brigade headed towards the Hanzhuang area at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Zhang Yunqing is going to have an assault battle. Since he knows the location, he will take the initiative!

They are all in Xiyang County. With the mechanization of the Independent First Division, they can fully arrive in Hanzhuang area in less than an hour!

By then, this will be the day of Prince Asakamiya Masahiko’s death!

"All the armored forces are dispatched!"

"The first battalion of heavy artillery in the artillery brigade carried 16 105mm caliber howitzers to Hanzhuang area..."

"The Second Heavy Artillery Battalion carries 12 150mm caliber howitzers..."

"The Third Battalion of Heavy Artillery Carries 12 152mm Howitzers..."

"32 mountain cannons in the Mountain Cannon Camp..."

"32 75mm field cannons in the field artillery camp..."

"32 Type 92 Infantry Artillery Battalion..."

"The Bomber Brigade 20 b29 bombers, 10 Mustang fighters, 5 Il 10 attack aircraft, and 5 Owl reconnaissance aircraft are all ready..."

Zhang Yunqing will dispatch more than 400 cannons of the Independent First Division, including mortars, in this battle.

Have a real artillery fire cover feast.

He wants to destroy all the Japanese devils in the Fifth Division in Hanzhuang area!

More than 200 cannons were fired at once, which was much more spectacular than the bombing scene!

When Wang Shaoan heard that the commander had taken out all his family's assets this time, he knew that this was a big battle.

It is very likely to annihilate the Fifth Division!

"Tomorrow, I will turn the Hanzhuang area into a sea of ​​fire!"

"Even if it becomes ruins, we can still rebuild it!"

"But, the Fifth Division must stay all for me!"
Chapter completed!
