According to the original battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese advanced from the north and the south. The two sides fought for half a year, and finally ended with Xu being captured.

However, due to Chen Mu's intrusion and the gathering of intelligence, several campaigns planned by Li Zongren were directly successful one after another.

First, the Japanese Isoya Division and Itagaki Division suffered heavy losses one after another on the way to the attack.

This wasn't the end yet. They listened to the intelligence from Rabbit's interception, and launched a plan to block and lure the enemy deeper into the 10th Division led by the old devil Isoya, directly blocking the 10th Division in Teng County.

.Divided some of the Japanese forces and launched an encirclement and suppression campaign against them!

Ban Heng's fifth division was also blocked by Lin Yi.

The old Japanese soldier Jigu once tried to send troops to penetrate and destroy Taierzhuang's rear area, blocking the Guo army's logistics and transportation lifeline.

Unexpectedly, Li Zongren came directly to catch turtles in the urn, and the 5th and 10th divisions were surrounded in confusion.

Their two divisions are walking into a death trap. The losses in the battle for more than ten consecutive days have reached more than 10,000, and the casualties are still increasing!

The Japanese troops from the north heading south were directly blocked, and there was even a risk that the entire army would be wiped out.

The Japanese suddenly became anxious!

Originally, the Japanese divisions heading north from the south included the 9th and 13th divisions, as well as a Banjing detachment.

The southern troops attacked frantically, allowing the 16th Division, which had just replenished its troops, to participate in the battle.

The troops dispatched by the Japs from the south to the north increased again.

Because Li Zongren's commanders were all miscellaneous, he used Tian Ji's method of horse racing. The miscellaneous troops of the Guo Army deployed in the south were not very effective.

Although many good results were achieved in the early stage and the Japanese were held back for more than a month, the troops were almost wiped out.

The road from the south to the north was blocked, leaving many holes in the defensive position.

So this mission of blocking the Japanese going north is very important!

March 5, 12 noon.

After suffering dozens of attacks and cold gun tactics, the main force of the 16th Division finally arrived at the front of Yongcheng!

Nakajima's eyebrows were a little tired, but he was in good spirits.

News came from the aircraft reconnaissance unit.

It was said that there were thousands of miscellaneous troops ahead digging for positions.

The enemy's hastily constructed blocking positions were vulnerable to attack.

After the artillery fire of the 16th Division is set up, they will be wiped out quickly.

"Report, a large number of minefields have appeared ahead again, and this time the minefields are very large, with a minefield six miles away."

"Baga, another damn bastard fake trap..."

After Nakajima cursed for a few times, he asked the puppet soldiers to use the engineer minesweeper to go to the mines.

From the march last night to now, the enemy has laid countless traps, pits and minefields along the dozens of kilometers of road.

Nakajima almost turned his nose with anger.

These bastards have laid too many minefields, and what is even more depressing is that there are a large number of useless iron lumps that interfere with the sight of the minesweepers.

These things that weren't even landmines blocked them for 8 hours.

If he hadn't arrogantly used Huang Xiejun as a mine detector, their marching speed would have been even slower!

Sure enough, the puppet soldiers took a safe route with ease.

Although only a dozen landmines exploded along the way, it also let them know that there were real people hiding in this minefield.

The troops continued to march for several kilometers before discovering the positions deployed by the Guo army in front.

"Haha, finally we've seen the truth! Who's going to test the enemy's edge?"

"Nakajima-san, let us be the vanguard." Captain Shizuka Sukegawa was the first to stand up.

"Okay, send two brigades to spy on the surrounding defense lines. The others should hurry up and eat to replenish their strength."

"Hey Yi!"

Because there are some unexplored minefields nearby, the location where the Japanese camped was much more crowded than usual.

A few kilometers away, several special animals were watching the Japanese's every move.

They recorded every move of the Japanese and passed them to the rear.

It is very difficult to fight an ambush in the plains.

In plain areas, generally only large regiment-level operations can be carried out.

Because of the peaceful environment, the Japanese marching array was extremely loose.

Tens of thousands of people marched along a road covering a radius of more than ten miles.

The method of laying out thunder arrays to annihilate the enemy is not feasible.

There are a total of more than a thousand people on Chen Mu's side. Even if one regiment and two security regiments of the Guo Army are stationed here, the total strength is only more than 4,500.

So battlefield selection is very important.

They didn't do much along the way, and often showed weakness to the enemy.

For example, take out hundreds of inferior mines and place them with the soldiers of the Guo army on the roads that the Japanese must pass.

This real and fake mine formation directly slowed down the enemy's march for several hours!

Just a few hours gave them valuable time to set up a large trap.

And the minefield choice just now was nothing more than a trap.

A trap that subconsciously brings the devils together.

As the intelligence was reported to Chen Mu, the war began.

The Japs' Sukechuan Jing Regiment sent out a large force to test the defensive positions and prepared to use Lao San's method to deal with the enemy!

"Kill the chicken and give it~"

An unknown Japanese squadron leader shouted loudly.

The Japanese under his command spread out into a skirmish formation and pressed forward.

They are strong and fast.

After quickly rushing within 500 meters, they set up machine gun and other positions based on the terrain.

On the way to attack, other Japanese soldiers began to suppress fire!

The Guo army did not fight back or attack at all.

"It seems that these enemies know how powerful we are! The ones in front should be all miscellaneous troops."

Because Principal Chang's troops will attack their machine gun position at a position of 500 meters.

The motley crew will not.

Rifles equipped by other brands of troops are generally made in Hanyang.

The effective range of these weapons is only 200 meters, and they lose their accuracy beyond 200 meters.

And the effective range of their individual rifles can reach 460 meters!

Stationed here is a regiment of the 31st Army.

They led two security groups to defend against Japanese attacks.

The combat effectiveness of the two security groups was very poor, with only more than 300 guns. Their only task was to take the ocean given to them by Chen Mu, and then dig holes and lay landmines.

All units of the 31st Army are miscellaneous.

But they all showed their integrity in this battle!

"Captain, the Japanese are attacking."

"I see, brothers, we just need to hold on for 36 hours! Just resist the Japanese attack!"

"yes!"

Ding Ben looked at the Japanese who were getting closer and closer, sighing in his heart that he could not go home to see his wife.

After the headquarters learned that the Japanese 16th Division was going to attack here, Wei Yunsong asked the regiment closest to Yongcheng to set up a sniper position here.

He knew what it meant for a division to stop the Japanese.

He didn't run away.

Northwest gentlemen are not cowards~

Before the battle, Ding Ben also told his soldiers that this battle was to snipe the Japanese with the intention of death.

Brothers all support his decision!

Thinking of this, he thought of Chen Mu who came to see him yesterday.

They provided themselves with 50 light and heavy machine guns, several mortars, and a large amount of ammunition.
