The fierce fighting outside Mincheng gradually stopped, and in the east area, the headquarters of the 29th Little Devils Division.

Lieutenant General Toshiichi Uemura, commander of the division, stood in front of the map with a solemn expression on his face.

Their troops suffered heavy losses in this battle. The 38th Regiment and the 50th Regiment suffered varying casualties.

What makes him even more annoyed is that the 18th Regiment is now besieged in Mincheng and is in danger of being completely annihilated at any time.

He immediately called for Kazaki Ohara, commander of the 4th Tank Brigade, to inquire in detail about the specific combat situation.

At this time, Obara Kazaki was also confused. He never dreamed that Li Yunlong's troops were equipped with so many artillery pieces.

What he didn't expect even more was that the armored regiment of Li Yunlong's army was actually capable of fighting with his tank regiment.

So far, the independent tank regiment has suffered heavy casualties, and its subordinate artillery tank squadron has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

The six mountain guns were abandoned, and the towing trucks were withdrawn, but these trucks had no combat effectiveness.

The four tank squadrons suffered serious losses. There were about 70 tanks in the past, but now they are composed of 40 tanks.

On average, each tank squadron no longer had ten tanks, which made Obara Kazuaki very angry.

Similarly, the independent motorized infantry regiment and the independent mobile artillery brigade also suffered different casualties.

Even the 35th Field Artillery Regiment, which was temporarily assigned to them for combat, suffered certain losses.

After arriving at the 29th Division Headquarters, Kazuaki Obara was as listless as an eggplant beaten by frost.

"The chariot troops have concentrated on fighting, why can't you block the attack of Li Yunlong's troops?"

"Even if you want to retreat, you should at least assist the 18th Regiment in withdrawing, and then withdraw together."

"See for yourself, the 18th Wing is now surrounded by them. Once it is annihilated, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Ohara-kun, I need an explanation!"

Uemura Toshiichi looked at Obara Kazuaki and said with strong dissatisfaction on his face.

Kazuaki Obara explained softly at first, constantly emphasizing the strength of Li Yunlong's troops.

However, Toshimichi Uemura had no patience to listen to this. In his opinion, even if Obara Kazaki sacrificed the 4th tank brigade, he should cover the withdrawal of the 18th Regiment, but Obara Kazaki did not do so.

He was very dissatisfied, with an angry expression on his face.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Uemura Division, the Army Headquarters clearly knows that Li Yunlong's troops are powerful, so why didn't they quickly send troops to come for reinforcements?"

"There are three divisions in the mall area. As long as they come to one division, we can completely annihilate Li Yunlong's troops."

"But the three divisions never came over. I think the responsibility for such a situation should not be entirely borne by me."

Kazuaki Obara, who was being scolded one after another, felt a little annoyed. He raised his head, looked at Toshichi Uemura, and asked directly.

Uemura Toshiichi frowned, and his hands were a little ready to move. He wanted to slap Obara Kazuaki hard.

But thinking about the upcoming battle, Toshimichi Uemura calmed down his anger.

He tried his best to control his emotions and directly explained the arrangements of the military headquarters.

After Li Yunlong's troops arrived, Uemura Toshidao immediately reported to the 14th Army Headquarters.

After Sanji Ojoto, Mono Miyazaki, Sadaki Nakanishi and others received the news, they quickly discussed it.

In the end, they decided to temporarily avoid a decisive battle with Li Yunlong's troops, but quickly advanced in depth.

Previously, Mincheng had not been captured for a long time, so Li Yunlong's troops deployed along the line of Lan Feng and Fengcheng.

They were worried that if they advanced in depth, they might be attacked by Li Yunlong's troops.

And knowing that Li Yunlong's troops appeared on the battlefield in Mincheng, they naturally would not be so worried.

At this time, the 3rd Chariot Division and the 28th Division were already rapidly advancing towards the front lines of Ningcheng and Xucheng.

The Japanese army planned to quickly eliminate the first theater troops deployed here, and then conduct a large-scale roundabout to outflank them.

After taking care of the 85th Army, the 55th Army, and the 12th Army, they returned and concentrated the forces of four divisions to attack Li Yunlong's troops.

The reason for this arrangement is mainly because the little devil has learned from the experience of the previous battle of Lanfeng.

After the Battle of Lanfeng, the Japs gathered their main force to prepare to march westward.

In order to block the Japanese troops, the defenders adopted the strategy of using water instead of troops.

In the end, a large number of towns became yellow flood zones, and the little devil's westward strategy was blocked.

Ojoto Sanji and others are worried that if they now gather the main force to encircle and annihilate Li Yunlong's troops, the First Theater Command will adopt a similar strategy.

Therefore, they wanted to encircle and annihilate the main force in the first theater of operations in the shortest possible time, thereby ensuring that the later westward march could proceed smoothly.

Now Ningcheng, which is jointly defended by the 85th Army and the 55th Army, has become the focus of the Japs' attack.

At this time, there was a fierce battle inside and outside Ningcheng, but the casualties of the two armies were not small.

Just because they have learned from the mall's mistakes, they don't dare to give up easily.

Therefore, here in Mincheng, the 29th Division and the 4th Chariot Brigade cannot get any support for the time being.

And from the perspective of the 14th Army Headquarters, the 29th Division is an elite division.

They were reinforced by the 4th Tank Brigade and the 35th Field Artillery Regiment, and there was no problem in quickly annihilating the 40th Army.

As for dealing with Li Yunlong's troops, even if they cannot be annihilated, they can at least be restrained.

This has caused the troops of the 29th Division to be a little embarrassed at the moment, and it is difficult for Uemura Toshichi to ask for help for the time being.

Of course, even if he asks for help, it will be difficult for him to influence the strategic decisions made by the military headquarters.

What Uemura Toshidao can do now is to quickly assemble his troops and continue to attack Mincheng, thereby opening up the connection with the 18th Regiment.

At the same time, near Mincheng, Li Yunlong quickly mobilized troops.

The results they achieved in this battle were not small. Among other things, they surrounded the 18th Regiment. This was a rare fighter opportunity.

At this time, Li Erhu and Yang Tieniu's armored regiment; Wei Monk and Wang Xikui's guard regiment were temporarily reorganized on the battlefield.

The boss directly transferred relevant soldiers from the brothers' troops in Shandong Province to supplement Li Yunlong's security group.

Lu Ming used the system's rewards and points to redeem related weapons and equipped them to the two regiments to enhance their strength.

"General commander, let me introduce to you, this is Chen Weiguo, this is Anderson, and this is George."

At this time, outside Min City, Lu Ming led three men to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Weiguo, who was about forty years old, and at the two foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes behind him, with a smile on his face.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, thank you so much for your selfless support to our old Li."

"I'm still curious, where did this kid Lu Ming get his weapons and equipment, and your feelings are secretly supported by you."

"Don't worry, we, Lao Li, will definitely use the weapons and equipment you support to maximize their value and severely attack the little devils."

Li Yunlong rarely became serious. He looked at Chen Weiguo and directly made a promise.

Chen Weiguo nodded mechanically, while Lu Ming detailed Chen Weiguo's series of assistance to the Security Corps.

Of course, this so-called Chen Weiguo, as well as Anderson and George, were all arranged systematically.

The reason for such an arrangement is naturally to provide an explanation for the origin of weapons and equipment.

After a hasty meeting, Chen Weiguo and his party left directly.

"Lu Ming, you said before that Anderson or something was Mr. Chen's guarantor."

"Why do I feel like these two people are like pieces of wood? They don't say a word."

After they left, Li Yunlong found Lu Ming and said with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Bodyguards, they are Mr. Chen's bodyguards, they are equivalent to bodyguards."

"Think about it, if you bring the security guard to discuss things with the brigade commander, can the security guard speak?"

Lu Ming explained. Li Yunlong thought for a moment, nodded, and laughed.

"Mr. Chen is really awesome. He can let foreigners serve as guards for him. No wonder he can help us with so many weapons and equipment."

Li Yunlong glanced into the distance and said with envy on his face.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong and Lu Ming quickly organized the armored regiment.

The armored regiment was expanded into the 1st Armored Battalion, the 2nd Armored Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, the Combat Defense Artillery Battalion, and the Air Defense Company.

The 1st Armored Battalion has twenty-two Japanese and domestic armored vehicles.

The 2nd Armored Battalion has 18 Japanese tanks and 16 German armored vehicles.

The artillery battalion is equipped with six French 75MM field guns and six Skoda 100MM howitzers.

The combat defense artillery battalion is equipped with eight Japanese-style 37MM rapid-fire guns and eight German-made 50MM combat defense guns.

The air defense company is equipped with eight 25MM machine guns and twelve anti-aircraft machine guns.

Among them, six Japanese Type 1 tanks, two 75MM field guns and other weapons and equipment were awarded system combat awards.

The six tanks were placed directly on the battlefield. After all, the Little Devil tanks suffered heavy losses in this battle and many were discarded on the battlefield.

Now, those who are working in vain will not be noticed, and other artillery pieces are transported here.
