Chapter 101 Continuous Loss of Territory

　　These days have been marked by a continuous loss of territory.

　　It would be a lie to say that they weren't embarrassed.

　　Both Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi felt it was too humiliating.

　　Things had been going so well just a few days ago, after the great victory at Taierzhuang.

　　Chang Kai-shek had been sending more and more troops, but the result was the loss of Linyi.

　　And Xiangcheng.

　　The loss of these two places didn't have much impact on Tang Enbo.

　　Because the troops defending these two places weren't part of the Twentieth Army Corps.

　　Another reason was that the troops stationed in these two locations had suffered too many casualties in the preceding days.

　　Even with the loss of ground, the Fifth War Area was too embarrassed to blame them.

　　Lanling was different!

　　The Twentieth Army Corps was a central army, well-equipped and well-trained.

　　It also hadn't been repeatedly attacked by the Japanese devils before.

　　Even so, Lanling, defended by the central army, had been broken through by the Japanese devils.

　　The defense line in the northeast direction of Xuzhou now only had one stronghold left: Taierzhuang!

　　Fortunately, Taierzhuang hadn't been taken by the Japanese devils in one fell swoop.

　　The Fifth War Area and Tang Enbo immediately sent commendations to the Seventy-fifth Army.

　　Commander Zhou Rong immediately announced the commendation from the Fifth War Area to the entire army.

　　Affirmation from superiors also helped to boost morale.

　　In any case, what the current Seventy-fifth Army lacked was a single breath: morale!

　　A team without morale had no combat effectiveness.

　　The entire army had just repelled an attack by the Japanese devils, killing more than four hundred of them.

　　The morale of the Seventy-fifth Army was slowly recovering.

　　Now the Japanese devils had organized a second attack.

　　The Special Operations Brigade also carried out a second bombing of these attacking Japanese devils.

　　This was very encouraging.

　　Commander Zhou Rong had already ordered the troops to prepare to attack.

　　This time, they wouldn't retreat after only chasing five hundred meters like last time.

　　Last time they were too conservative; this time they had to be more aggressive.

　　Lin Fan, in a phone call, relayed the information that Mao Wenxing had observed from the air, picking out what was useful to the Seventy-fifth Army.

　　Commander Zhou Rong learned that the Japanese devils attacking Taierzhuang should have been two regiments.

　　Only one regiment had arrived at Taierzhuang so far.

　　Now that regiment of Japanese devils had dispatched a battalion towards Liujia Lake.

　　One battalion had just been defeated by the Seventy-fifth Army, and another battalion of Japanese devils had suffered heavy casualties from the bombing.

　　The only fully staffed battalion of the Japanese devil's front-line regiment was now attacking Taierzhuang.

　　Lin Fan didn't say much; he wasn't clear about the combat effectiveness of the Seventy-fifth Army.

　　He only provided the battlefield situation and intelligence.

　　How the battle was to be fought depended on what Zhou Rong thought.

　　With clear intelligence, Commander Zhou Rong became enthusiastic: the Seventy-fifth Army was definitely not a ragtag bunch.

　　This was a well-trained and well-equipped regular army.

　　According to the intelligence provided by Lin Fan, although the Japanese devils on the opposite side had four battalions.

　　One battalion had already been transferred, so that didn't need to be considered.

　　Because Lin Fan had made it clear: the Special Operations Brigade had set up a pocket for the Japanese devils to drill into, and not a single Japanese devil would escape.

　　In this way, as long as the attacking battalion of Japanese devils was defeated, the Seventy-fifth Army could still counterattack.

　　No sooner said than done!

　　Before acting, Commander Zhou Rong specifically discussed his combat plan with Lin Fan.

　　On the entire battlefield, only they were closest to each other and were cooperating to fight the Japanese devils.

　　Lin Fan, of course, supported his plan.

　　Lin Fan strongly supported any action against the Japanese devils.

　　Lin Fan stated: The Seventy-fifth Army would rush out of Taierzhuang and launch an attack on the Japanese devils.

　　The Special Operations Brigade would send out a regiment to cooperate in the attack from the side of the Japanese devils.

　　The plan was set.

　　The regiment of the Special Operations Brigade that would cooperate with the Seventy-fifth Army was Gu Xiuming's First Regiment.

　　Originally, his regiment was intended to block the Japanese devils from sending troops from the Taierzhuang direction to reinforce.

　　In the new plan, passive sniping was simply changed to active attack.

　　The new plan was immediately transmitted to Gu Xiuming.

　　That was the advantage of radio; they could talk and command each other even if they were kilometers apart.

　　The six regiments of the Special Operations Brigade now had this command system.

　　It was a pity that it couldn't be equipped to the company level yet.

　　A bit of a regret!

　　However, even if it was only equipped to the various regiments, it was already very convenient for Lin Fan to command.

　　Regiment Commander Gu Xiuming greatly approved of the change in the plan; being passive wasn't the style of the First Regiment.

　　Being proactive was!

　　Kita Heizo, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion of the 63rd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese devils, could see the walls of Taierzhuang.

　　He could also see the soldiers of the National Army on the walls.

　　Now those National Army soldiers were actually standing up, just to see the scene of the Japanese devils being bombed more clearly.

　　In fact, whether these soldiers were lying in the trenches or standing up to watch the Japanese devils being bombed.

　　The effect was the same; with dense artillery explosions, smoke, and dust, the naked eye couldn't clearly see the extent of the damage suffered by the Japanese devils.

　　Only the flashing fire of the artillery explosions and the Japanese devils being blown away could be seen.

　　Even so, another effect was clearly visible: not a single Japanese devil had charged within a hundred meters of the position set up by the Seventy-fifth Army in Taierzhuang.

　　In fact, this situation made the soldiers guarding the village walls a little disappointed.

　　If too many Japanese devils charged up, these soldiers would be a little worried: afraid they couldn't hold on.

　　If not a single Japanese devil charged up, these soldiers would also be a little disappointed; it was like attending a banquet, with guests filling the room.

　　The guests were all ready and could start at any time, but the host was slow to serve the dishes, making people dissatisfied.

　　Fortunately, the army commander and division commander were very considerate of these soldiers.

　　Huang Guanghua had now ordered the entire division to move out.

　　The Seventy-fifth Army's teams chasing the Japanese devils had already set off from the east and west directions.

　　They were going to strike the sides of the Japanese devils first.

　　These Japanese devils from the Kita Heizo battalion were still struggling in the midst of the intense artillery fire at this time.

　　This was a real fight for survival for them.

　　Sergeant Ito Juntaro desperately jumped from one crater to another.

　　But he couldn't escape the range of the artillery fire.

　　It wasn't that he didn't want to charge.

　　Even in such dense artillery fire, they could still vaguely see the walls of Taierzhuang.

　　He wasn't a Japanese devil who had already charged to the front.

　　Squad Leader Asashi Daisuke had also charged to the front.

　　Listening to the constant explosions around him and feeling the earth shaking.

　　He finally gave the order: "Attack!"

　　With the first to rush out, there was the first charging Japanese devil.

　　Then there was the second Japanese devil to follow.

　　After rushing out more than ten meters, Squad Leader Asashi Daisuke suddenly felt that the sky was clear and the surrounding air was sweet.

　　There was no longer the smoky smell of being bombed by artillery fire.

　　Sergeant Ito Juntaro closely followed behind.

　　Behind them, twenty or thirty Japanese devils had already rushed out.

　　They cautiously charged towards Taierzhuang.

　　The Japanese devils rushed out of the smoke, and the soldiers who had just been standing on the trenches, some of whom had stood on the edge of the fortifications in order to stand higher.

　　Now they all honestly returned to the trenches, crawling on their bellies.

　　Picking up their guns, they aimed at the dozens of charging Japanese devils.

　　Not many Japanese devils charged up; there were only forty or so Japanese devils who rushed out of the smoke, before and after.

　　About a squad.

　　The 139th Division guarding the village walls had a full four hundred soldiers.

　　These four hundred or so National Army soldiers now only felt excitement.

　　It was just that the Japanese devils were still a little far away, more than a hundred meters away.

　　Now wasn't the time to shoot.

　　Squad Leader Asashi Daisuke led the Japanese devils behind him and launched an attack on Taierzhuang.

　　When he had just rushed out, he saw that many Japanese devils had followed behind him.

　　But when he charged to a position fifty meters away from the position and was blocked by the National Army's dense hail of bullets.

　　Looking back again, it seemed that the Japanese devils who had followed him had already broken the line.

　　A few scattered Japanese devils were charging towards this side from behind.

　　He had been a little impulsive. Squad Leader Asashi Daisuke was reflecting.

　　It would be a fool's dream to try to attack Taierzhuang, which was still resisting, with dozens of Japanese devils.

　　The Japanese devils' impulsiveness was, of course, the National Army's opportunity.

　　Battalion Commander Jiang Changchun, who was guarding the village walls, was the first to stand up and order: "Charge!"

　　They had more than four hundred people here, while the Japanese devils only had forty or so.

　　With such an overwhelming advantage, close combat was, of course, the most suitable.

　　When Commander Zhou Rong saw this scene, a satisfied expression appeared on his face:

　　There weren't many Japanese devils, and they were close.

　　And there were no subsequent teams of Japanese devils charging up.

　　When the Special Operations Brigade's artillery fire stopped, Battalion Commander Koizumi Yuto of the Fourth Battalion immediately became excited:

　　"Advance! Advance!"

　　They were now five *li* away from Taierzhuang.

　　The previous artillery fire had caused great damage to the entire battalion.

　　But this hadn't affected Battalion Commander Koizumi Yuto's will to act.

　　No matter what the reason was for the National Army to stop the bombing, it was giving himself an opportunity.

　　An opportunity to advance quickly.

　　Regiment Commander Hua Deze arranged his twelve companies along this small river ditch.

　　There wasn't enough time, and the teams didn't have time to arrange the directional bombs that the Special Operations Brigade was best at in advance.

　　He arranged the First Company on the avenue, because the First Company had six earthen tanks, which could be pushed to the front as fortresses.

　　The Japanese devils of the Koizumi Yuto Battalion also discovered the First Regiment blocking the road ahead.

　　Neither side hesitated at all.

　　When enemies meet on a narrow road, the brave win!

　　The two sides launched an attack at the same time as they discovered each other.

　　The Koizumi Yuto Battalion accelerated its pace of attack.

　　Company Commander Ou Lezhi led the entire company, pushing the heavy machine guns and charging head-on.

　　Behind Ou Lezhi, the First Company's mortars and infantry guns weren't idle either, and were all bombing the Japanese devils.

　　The Koizumi Yuto Battalion's infantry guns, mortars, and grenade launchers also didn't rest.

　　They were also bombing the charging team.

　　Battalion Commander Koizumi Yuto looked at the charging team and was very puzzled:

　　Was this National Army team of only a hundred or so people crazy?

　　Although his battalion had suffered heavy casualties after being bombed by artillery fire, there were still at least seven hundred Japanese devils.

　　Just as he was thinking this.

　　Not far from the road, one National Army team after another emerged.

　　Now there weren't just a hundred or so National Army soldiers; the Japanese devils of the Koizumi Yuto Battalion suddenly became a little flustered.

　　They couldn't attack now; they needed to defend.

　　Battalion Commander Koizumi Yuto ordered loudly, telling all the Japanese devils in the battalion to defend on the spot.

　　At the same time, he also sent out a signal soldier to immediately return to Fukurou Shinpei Regiment Commander for help.

　　The two sides had already engaged in close combat, and his battalion couldn't withdraw from the battle.

　　The Second Regiment had already engaged with the Japanese devils.

　　Upon receiving the news, Shan Huacan of the Third Regiment and Dan Chengfu of the Fourth Regiment immediately took action.

　　They had been moving to the left and right of the Second Regiment.

　　Now was the time to outflank them.

　　The signal soldier sent out by Battalion Commander Koizumi Yuto was shot down by the First Regiment, which had been inserted into the rear.

　　Battalion Commander Koizumi Yuto didn't know about this until he died.

　　All he knew now was that he was in big trouble.

　　There were National Army teams all around, and as time passed.

　　More and more National Army soldiers arrived.

　　Now there were at least five thousand National Army soldiers.

　　The temporary defense line of his battalion was first broken through by Ou Lezhi's First Company.

　　After the original flimsy defense line was broken through, the main force of the Second Regiment poured in through this gap.

　　Battalion Commander Koizumi Yuto had to issue a difficult order: disperse and break through! He had clearly seen the situation: his battalion was surrounded by thousands of National Army soldiers.

　　Trying to break through in an organized manner had become a luxury.

　　He only hoped that a few Japanese devils in the entire battalion could break out.

　　If he was lucky, the reinforcements sent by the regiment commander would arrive in time, and perhaps they could annihilate this main force of the National Army.

　　As for the Koizumi Yuto Battalion, it was impossible for them to survive no matter what.

　　His assessment was very accurate.

　　The position where the Special Operations Brigade was now surrounding the Japanese devils was only six *li* away from Taierzhuang.

　　If the Japanese devils discovered it in time and the reinforcements they sent were fast, they could arrive in twenty minutes.

　　Unfortunately, there were too many "ifs" in these conditions.

　　At least in terms of discovering it in time, the Japanese devils couldn't achieve it until now.

　　From the fact that the National Army's artillery fire on the Taierzhuang direction had stopped, Regiment Commander Fukurou Shinpei

　　deduced and happily came to the conclusion:

　　The Koizumi Yuto Battalion had already posed a threat to the Liujia Lake artillery position.

　　It had even occupied the Liujia Lake artillery position.

　　This was a very good start and the key to today's attack on Taierzhuang.

　　Next, the empire's warriors should use the captured cannons to bomb Taierzhuang.

　　Although the situation in the Taierzhuang direction was not very good: the National Army defending Taierzhuang had actually launched a counterattack.

　　They weren't staying in Taierzhuang; they were actually rushing out to fight with his team.

　　This wasn't good! This wasn't what he wanted.

　　Regiment Commander Fukurou Shinpei thought this in his heart.

　　The previous battle for Taierzhuang had made them understand: although the equipment of the National Army soldiers was poor.

　　But they had a lot of people.

　　If their will to fight was aroused, the empire's team would be scarred even if they took one step forward.

　　The current Regiment Commander Fukurou Shinpei didn't want the National Army team to have the idea of fighting or daring to fight.

　　Now that the National Army on the opposite side dared to come out to fight, he would drive them back.

　　Battalion Commander Kita Heizo was pleasantly surprised to find that the National Army's bombing had stopped.

　　He immediately revived and loudly ordered the team: "Attack! Attack!"

　　At this time, Squad Leader Asashi Daisuke and his team, who had just broken through to the front, were already fighting with Jiang Changchun and his team.

　　No matter how good the bayonet skills of the forty or so Japanese devils were.

　　Under the crushing force of ten times the number of soldiers, especially in this kind of close combat.

　　The soldiers of Jiang Changchun's battalion beat the master to death with random punches; they were all besieging one Japanese devil with several people.

　　In just one wave of attacks, Sergeant Ito Juntaro, Squad Leader Asashi Daisuke, and their dozens of Japanese devils had all fallen in pools of blood.

　　At this time, the soldiers who rushed out of Taierzhuang weren't just from this one battalion.

　　The soldiers who had just sneaked out from the east and west directions had already launched an attack on the flanks of the Kita Heizo Battalion.

　　The Kita Heizo Battalion, which was attacked from three sides, had just recovered from the joy of being let go.

　　They were immediately subjected to the most direct attacks by the National Army soldiers.

　　Now, without Battalion Commander Kita Heizo giving the order, the soldiers under his command had already taken the initiative to retreat.

　　When an army is defeated, it's like a landslide!

　　Whether it was the National Army or the Japanese devils, it was actually the same.

　　Regiment Commander Fukurou Shinpei had never thought that the situation on the battlefield would change so drastically in less than ten minutes.

　　As a commander, he still had to continue to command no matter what.

　　The First Battalion, which had just retreated from Taierzhuang, received the order again: go back! Return to the front of Taierzhuang to rescue the Kita Heizo Battalion.

　　The Second Battalion also received the order at the same time: proceed to Taierzhuang to reinforce the Kita Heizo Battalion, which was being held up by the National Army.

　　The battle here was no longer something he could control; Regiment Commander Fukurou Shinpei immediately reported the situation to Brigade Commander Seya Keiji, who was ten kilometers behind him.

　　He requested the brigade commander to provide guidance!

　　It took time to transmit information, and it also took time for the teams to react.

　　The problem wasn't solved even after the request was sent out.

　　Regiment Commander Fukurou Shinpei now had a very bad feeling; he felt like he was a prey that had fallen into a trap.

　　No matter what he did, it was wrong.

　　This made him very uneasy!

　　He didn't know what he should do now.

　　Just at this time, more bad news came from the front:

　　The Takenouchi Taro Battalion, which was sent to reinforce the Third Battalion, was attacked and couldn't reach Taierzhuang within half an hour.

　　Good things never come in pairs, but bad things always come together!

　　Regiment Commander Fukurou Shinpei hadn't digested this sad news yet.

　　Another piece of news followed: the Second Battalion, which was going to reinforce the Kita Heizo Battalion, reported that they had also been ambushed by the National Army.

　　This... made Regiment Commander Fukurou Shinpei extremely angry.

　　Could you two battalions be a little more careful?

　t Was it possible to form a group to be ambushed?

　　It wasn't that these Japanese devils from the First and Second Battalions had formed a group to be ambushed.

　　It was really that the First and Fifth Regiments of the Special Operations Brigade's Lunan Detachment, under the command of Mao Wenxing, had entered the position early.

　　The two Japanese devil battalions understood Mao Wenxing's thinking and consciously walked into the ambush.

　　Regiment Commander An Ping was excitedly ordering the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Regiment to launch an attack on the Tokugawa Ryota Battalion.

　　Although the Fifth Regiment hadn't surrounded the Japanese devils, they had already used directional bombs.

　　This made the Japanese devils of the Tokugawa Ryota Battalion extremely depressed.

　　They had set off from Yixian, and everything had gone smoothly along the way. They had advanced to the front of Taierzhuang without firing a single shot.

　　Here, they encountered the most intense artillery fire of their lives.

　　The entire battalion was bombed so badly that they were crying and screaming.

　　After finally enduring the artillery fire, the team had been reduced by 40%.

　　They had to retreat to rest.

　　Before they could rest properly, they received a mission to go to the front line again.

　　As a result, they were bombed by landmines again.

　　The last time, the bombs had fallen from the sky; this time, they were coming from the ground.

　　The key was that the effect was stronger each time.

　　The original full battalion of 1,200 Japanese devils.

　　Now there were only a little more than 400 Japanese devils left.

　　They were already so miserable, but the National Army hadn't let them go.

　　The National Army soldiers on the opposite side were as if they had been injected with chicken blood, rushing out of the trenches.

　　They were shouting and charging over.

　　Battalion Commander Tokugawa Ryota shouted loudly at the Japanese devils: "Engage! Engage!"

　　Unfortunately, the effect wasn't good!

　　Less than half of the Japanese devils were able to stop and turn around to charge towards the National Army.

　　The other half of the Japanese devils intentionally avoided his position.

　　They charged towards the distant horizon.

　　As if the National Army soldiers were in that direction.

　　The Japanese devils were running away, and the soldiers of the Fifth Regiment were happy.

　　An Ping's Fifth Regiment didn't have many veterans in the Special Operations Brigade; only the company and platoon leaders were veterans.

　　It was very good for such a team to fight a smooth battle once.

　　It could cultivate everyone's confidence in victory.

　　A team of 1,800 people was fighting bayonet-to-bayonet with more than 100 Japanese devils.

　　They had an absolute advantage.

　　Battalion Commander Tokugawa Ryota was also a smart Japanese devil; when he saw that the situation was not good.

　　He immediately turned around and ran; he was different from the other Japanese devils.

　　As a battalion commander, he had a warhorse.

　　As soon as its four legs moved, it immediately left all the Japanese devils behind.

　　Regiment Commander An Ping didn't let the entire regiment chase too far either.

　　His regiment was recalled after chasing for a kilometer.

　　This time, less than 200 of the Japanese devils in the battalion escaped.

　　The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Regiment were all red in the face with joy.

　　The chase just now had put the results of these days of training to good use.

　　A 10-kilometer cross-country run every day had a very good effect when chasing and killing Japanese devils just now.

　　When the battle of the Fifth Regiment ended.

　　The battle of the First Regiment also ended.

　　Gu Xiuming didn't leave any chance for the Takenouchi Taro Battalion to survive.

　　When they ambushed, they had already surrounded the entire battlefield.

　　He had this confidence and this strength.

　　The battle in front of Taierzhuang also ended at this time.

　　The Seventy-fifth Army had been chasing the Japanese devils until they reached the position where the First Regiment was ambushing.

　　The two sides exchanged views on the Japanese devils in a very friendly manner.

　　Since they had already chased to this position, the Seventy-fifth Army couldn't continue chasing.

　　Victory news was always the most encouraging.

　　Those officers and soldiers who had fled back to Taierzhuang from the front line had now consciously returned to their original units according to their original organization.

　　They stood on the village walls at the front line of Taierzhuang and looked at the brothers who were still cleaning up the battlefield outside the city.

　　Now they were no longer afraid.

　　This was the kind of team that Commander Zhou Rong wanted to see.

　　This was also what Lin Fan wanted to see: he had always believed that the morale of the team was boosted by one victory after another.

　　In one day, the Seventy-fifth Army repelled two attacks by two battalions of Japanese devils.

　　And the second time, they killed thousands of Japanese devils.

　　This was a great victory!

　　A smile finally appeared on Tang Enbo's face.

　　Of course, he had to personally report such a good thing to Chang Kai-shek.

　　The Fifth War Area also received Lin Fan's report on the situation in Taierzhuang; they had just repelled an attack by the Japanese devils.

　　From the aerial reconnaissance, the Japanese devil team that set off from Yixian to attack Taierzhuang was still continuing to advance.

　　A Japanese devil team was also marching towards Taierzhuang from the Lanling direction.

　　A Japanese devil team was also marching towards Taierzhuang from the Hanzhuang direction.

　　It turned out that when Fukurou Shinpei's message for help was sent to Brigade Commander Seya Keiji.

　　Seya Keiji, who was already a little like a frightened bird, immediately reported this unfortunate news.

　　Of course, the report also included the news that the Tenth Regiment had already lost a battalion.

　　Division Commander Isogu Renjie heard that there was still a main force of the National Army in the Taierzhuang direction.

　　The National Army that could annihilate a battalion at once must be an army of the National Army.

　　With this understanding, he immediately requested that troops be transferred from various places to encircle Taierzhuang.

　　The Fifth War Area, which had just received the news of victory, originally wanted the Seventy-fifth Army to continue to hold Taierzhuang.

　　But now, in this situation, they were a little afraid.

　　Taierzhuang was now surrounded by enemies on three sides, and even the rear didn't have a strong team to support it.

　　The entire defense line had collapsed, and leaving a stronghold didn't make much sense.

　　Tang Enbo had long been suggesting that the Seventy-fifth Army be withdrawn.

　　Such an elite force that could withstand the attack of two battalions of Japanese devils shouldn't be surrounded by the Japanese devils in Taierzhuang.

　　Chang Kai-shek finally made a conclusion: retreat from Taierzhuang!

　　Re-establish defenses north of Xuzhou.

　　This time, the Special Operations Brigade finally received the order to retreat.

　　However, their order was to cover the retreat of the Seventy-fifth Army before they could slowly retreat.

　　Lin Fan had no reason to refuse such an order.

　　And he was happy to do so.

　　With planes observing overhead, the Special Operations Brigade could easily see the reality of the Japanese devils.

　　Retreat when ordered; this was an order.

　　Honestly retreating wasn't the retreat that Lin Fan wanted.

　　From the intelligence gathered from aerial reconnaissance: there weren't many Japanese devils coming from Hanzhuang, only one battalion.

　　And there weren't any more teams following behind them.

　　This was very good news and a very good opportunity.

　　Lin Fan even thought that this was a trap set by the Japanese devils.

　　He specially ordered Mao Wenxing to carefully observe in the air to see if there were any ambushes by the Japanese devils around.

　　Mao Wenxing only reported back half an hour later: there were indeed no Japanese devils around this team.

　　"I'm still too careful," Lin Fan said with a smile.

　　The Japanese devils of the Ogura Yuto Battalion set off after receiving the order to reinforce Taierzhuang.

　　For Battalion Commander Ogura Yuto, there wasn't anything worth considering.

　　There was a brigade in the Taierzhuang direction, and the combat effectiveness of his battalion wasn't weak either.

　　In fact, Battalion Commander Ogura Yuto was still thinking that a National Army team would appear in front of him.

　　This would prove his strength.

　　Since the Japanese devils had sent out an isolated force, Lin Fan would certainly not be polite.

　　In the past half hour, the artillery regiment of the Special Operations Brigade had prepared to transfer.

　　The Fourth and Fifth Regiments had already gone to the Taierzhuang direction.

　　They were going to Taierzhuang to take over the defense; since the Special Operations Brigade was going to be the rearguard, Lin Fan would certainly send a team to take over the defense.

　　The artillery regiment, the First Regiment, the Second Regiment, and the Third Regiment would all go to meet the Japanese devils coming from Hanzhuang.

　　Lin Fan had now learned the joy of many people bullying few people.

　　This time, he was still going to do this: if he had 10% of his strength, he would certainly use it all.

　　Lin Fan didn't think there was anything wrong with using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
