As a group of more than 30 Sherman tanks suddenly appeared on the battlefield and continued to bombard the Japanese infantry units and remaining Japanese tanks, all the soldiers of the 122nd Sichuan Army Division also began to launch an assisting attack.
The soldiers rushed towards the Japanese 33rd Brigade from various defensive positions.
Facing the Sichuan troops that seemed to be surging in from all directions, Major General Otani Kei of the Japanese 33rd Brigade was already in a state of panic at this moment. He was like crazy, shouting and commanding his Japanese troops.
Conducting counterattacks and anti-tank operations.
And they constantly asked the Japanese communications troops to urge the Japanese aircraft groups to come in for air strikes to bomb He Feiyang's Sherman tank group.
In Xuzhou City,
Commander Li of the Fifth Theater also immediately received information about the troops of the Japanese 33rd Brigade and launched an offensive operation against Teng County. Of course, the detailed battle situation is not yet known.
Because this information was sent to him by Commander Wang of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army.
It was not discovered by his intelligence personnel or the reconnaissance force.
"Is the action of the Japanese 33rd Brigade so fast? It has already reached Teng County?"
"Damn Japanese invaders!"
"It seems that we need to prepare reinforcements for the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army immediately!"
"Otherwise, with their inferior weapons and equipment, they would not be able to withstand the incoming elite Japanese troops for any length of time. Teng County must not be lost!"
"Otherwise, the north gate of Xuzhou City will be breached and opened by the Japanese army!"
Upon receiving the battle report from Commander Wang of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, Commander Li immediately felt something was wrong.
Then, he bypassed Commander Sun and personally called Tang Enbo, the commander of the 20th Army and the commander of the 13th Army, to give instructions.
"It's me! The troops of the 33rd Brigade of the Japanese Army have arrived in Teng County and launched an offensive operation against the frontline defense forces of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army in Teng County. I hope you can send troops to support the operation immediately!"
"I don't want Teng County to fall, otherwise the entire northern gate of Xuzhou City will be fully opened by the Japanese invaders!"
"At that time, it will affect the deployment of the entire Xuzhou counterattack!"
"Especially my next combat deployment!"
When the call is connected,
Commander Li is also straight to the point and straightforward.
"Okay! Commander Li!"
"I will immediately dispatch our troops to carry out supporting operations!"
But when Tang Enbo, commander of the 13th Army, heard Commander Li’s instructions,
But he responded to Commander Li with a nonchalant expression.
Anyway, he had no intention of immediately dispatching his main force to Teng County to support the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army in combat.
Because he wants to preserve the combat effectiveness and strength of his troops.
So he just dealt with Commander Li hypocritically,
"Yeah! That's good!"
"Teng County will be handed over to your troops and the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army will guard it!"
After hearing Tang Enbo agree so readily,
Commander Li was also very satisfied and responded.
"I'll do my best!"
Tang Enbo said again insincerely.
And once again determined that it would not be so quick, it sent troops to Teng County to support the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, which had no connection at all.
Afterwards, the two of them hung up the phone with each other.
After hanging up the phone,
Whatever Tang Enbo should do, he just went to do it.
He didn't take Commander Lee's combat instructions to heart at all.
There will be reinforcements, but they will appear very slowly. It is best to wait until the battle in Teng County is over before they appear.
As for Commander Li, after hanging up the phone, he immediately called Commander Sun and asked him to supervise the battle in Teng County and never let Teng County fall.
And at this time,
In Xuzhou City,
He Feiyang was also in the communication room of his military camp, asking his cloned communication soldiers to continuously report to him the battle situation in Teng County. He was also in his room, flipping through the current intelligence information on the battle situation on various front lines.
And just when He Feiyang was so focused on reading the intelligence materials in his hand.
Outside his military camp, a young woman wearing a dress came.
