As expected, before their troops reached their destination, new orders came out. The Japanese had already surrounded Xuzhou. It was not easy to escape from the enemy's encirclement, let alone expand the results.
Already.
The mission accepted by Su Yuan's brigade was to rush to Suxian immediately, occupy a favorable position there before the arrival of the Japanese 9th Division, and prevent the Japanese from covering the large force's transfer to the southeast.
The order was very urgent. It was not until Su Yuan was on the way that he knew that the Japanese ninth division was a mechanized division and was already moving towards the Zhaojiaji they were heading towards. This was a very difficult task. It was impossible to compete with the Japanese in terms of speed.
No need to think about it.
Su Yuan's company opened the way in front as the sharp knife company. Sure enough, the Japanese had already occupied the area they were trying to reach, but the mission still continued. In order to cover the large forces, they began to change their combat deployment, but they had only one purpose, which was to delay
Contain the Japanese and cover the movement of large forces.
"Damn it, when we were surrounded, not a single reinforcement was seen, but now it's better, we have to rescue them." Li Zhuang, who was following Su Yuan, cursed.
"Man, our 59th Army is also inside." Su Yuan was also aggrieved, but he still explained: "And I heard that they were at the end of the attack and were covering the transfer of the large forces. We should treat it as helping our brothers.
Bar."
"This is too bullying. The 59th Army fought a bloody battle in Linyi, and now it wants to cut off the rear. They really think that we are stepmothers, and they still want to eradicate us like last time." Li Zhuang said unconvinced.
.
"Shut up!" The upset Su Yuan shouted, and he immediately ordered: "It is impossible to reach the destination now. We have to take the initiative. This is the order from the summit."
The brigade commander's combat deployment really played a unique role. Seeing the Chinese army actually attacking them, the Japs thought it was China's main force. The two sides immediately became stalemate. The Japs did not fight back with all their strength, but quickly mobilized troops from both wings.
Come around in a roundabout way.
The large forces have moved, but they are about to be in danger of being surrounded. The entire brigade must move immediately. Due to Su Yuan's prominent position, his troops once again received the task of blocking and covering.
"It's not going to be good this time!" Su Yuan muttered: "If you do it again and again, this is the third time that you have blocked the attack. Maybe you won't be able to pass this level." Su Yuan was beating in his heart.
, maybe it’s because I have concerns in my heart, but mainly because the current situation is far more dangerous than before.
There were hundreds of thousands of Japanese this time, so it was inevitable that he would be surrounded, and the task of covering could not be carried out during the blockade. With his small force, he would be swallowed up by the Japanese in just one encounter.
.
"The mission must be completed and the troops must be brought out." Su Yuan secretly made up his mind, his mind changing rapidly.
"Li Zhuang, lead the troops to move northwest." Su Yuan ordered.
"Company commander, didn't the large troops move to the mountainous and hilly areas in the southeast?" Li Zhuang sounded strange.
"It might be possible to do it one day earlier, but now the Japs are probably going to close the gap and we won't have time." Su Yuan said, "And we still have to contain the Japs."
