"I am passing the order and ordering all units to carry out a Kokang attack. It is necessary to recover Yichang City on February 1 and wipe out the 13th Japanese Division!"

Although the Chairman had orders first, Chen Cixiu decided to make another effort and delay the end of the battle by one day.

After issuing this order, Chen Cixiu suddenly asked a staff officer: "Where is the Chinese Tiger Army now? What are they doing now?"

The staff officer quickly replied: "Report to Chief Chen, the main force of the Hu Ben Army is still attacking Xiangyang City.

The vanguard is attacking Jingmen County and fighting urban street battles with the Japanese defensive forces. It is expected that it will be captured within tomorrow."

"What happened? They are still fighting Jingmen at this time?"

Chen Cixiu frowned and murmured: "Four days ago, didn't they have passed the Han River and encircled and annihilated an independent Japanese brigade north of Zhicheng?

Aren’t they fully mechanized troops? More than four days have passed, and they can’t walk the short distance of more than 200 kilometers?"

The staff officer of the National Army replied honestly: "Report to Chief Chen, this Huben Army advisor who first crossed the Han River. After ambushing and annihilated the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade, they went south along the highway route and conquered Zhicheng, Luyang, Shiqiao and other towns.

At present, even Jingmen County is quickly conquering. Logically speaking, the attack speed is already very fast!”

"I'm not talking about this!"

Chen Cixiu glared at the staff officer who "does not understand music" with some displeasure, and said indignantly: "Why do they have to attack cities and villages like this? Why can't they bypass these towns?"

"Why did they conquer these towns one by one, and they also sent troops to garrison?"

"What is their purpose? What do they want to do?"

"Can they still want to put their tentacles into Hubei? Isn't this going to take advantage of the situation?"

"Don't they know that we are fighting the Japanese in a life-and-death battle?"

"this!"

The National Army Staff Officer was immediately asked, and he had to say that this series of "100,000 Whys" was too difficult, and no matter where he said it, he would only end up being uninformed.

"Okay, you should report this situation to the Chairman immediately and ask him to come forward to communicate with the Hu Ben Army!"

Chen Cixiu waved his hand, but he didn't expect to get any answer. The question he asked just now was just a complaint in his heart.

Now that the fire is burning, he really doesn't have much energy to bother with the other side, not to mention that even if the Hu Ben Army wants to take advantage of the fire and take the robbery from the fire, that is not something he can control now.

What Chen Cixiu wants to do most now is to defeat Yichang as soon as possible, and while avenging his previous shame, stop the loss as quickly as possible to avoid serious damage to the vitality of the sixth war zone!

To achieve this goal, you can only give it a try.

"yes!"

The National Army Staff nodded after being amnesty, then turned around and left.

In fact, the reason why the third division of the Hu Ben Army was like this is not to "expand the territory and expand the territory", but to just maintain the smooth supply line and allow the logistics troops to continuously transport various materials to the frontline troops.

You should know that the reason why the Hu Ben Army is so awesome is not because the officers and soldiers under their command have superpowers, but because they rely on high mechanization and powerful firepower output.

To maintain mechanized operation and ensure strong firepower output, it is necessary to ensure smooth supply lines.

If the supply line is broken by the Japanese, the tanks, armored vehicles, transport vehicles, and artillery of the front-line troops will all become piles of useless scrap iron.

People on earth know that in the current era, the transportation conditions in China were actually very poor. Often, there was only one highway between towns and towns, and most of the highways passed through towns and became the main streets.

Therefore, if the towns on these highways are not conquered, the Hu Ben Army will not be able to ensure the smooth traffic of the highway, and naturally there will be no way to ensure the safety of the transportation line.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, the 3rd Division of the Hu Ben Army could only push down side by side, continuously occupying these towns along the line, and opening up a safe and smooth supply line for itself and the entire army.

In fact, it is not just the Hu Ben Army. No matter which Japanese army it is or the German army or other troops, the highway and railway lines are often given priority when choosing an offensive line, and then they continue to fight along.

At 2 a.m. on January 31, the Sixth War Zone launched another general attack.

This time, the Sixth War Zone concentrated all the various types of artillery that could be concentrated. After the general attack order was issued, shells with 164 as the unit of measurement rushed to the Japanese positions in all directions.

The earth-shaking explosion instantly broke the silence of the early morning, and the balls of fires swept away the darkness and illuminated half of the sky.

Soon, the smoke of war filled every corner of the Japanese position, and the rolling smoke rushed straight into the sky, making the already black sky even darker.

Until the end, even if the Japanese positions were burning with raging fire, even if the explosion would flash with dazzling fire, under the cover of layers of rolling smoke, the artillery soldiers could not see any complete military targets for shooting.

After the fierce shelling ended, the infantry in the Sixth War Zone launched a general attack on the Japanese army from all directions.

In addition to the 9th Division, which had already invested all its strength, the siege troops also had two new infantry divisions, the 76th Division, with a total force of more than 4,000 people at one time.

"Kill!"

"Brothers, rush!"

"Kill all these dog gods!"

"The last moment is here, charge!"

The infantrymen of the three infantry divisions shouted and rushed from the front positions everywhere to the Japanese positions that had not yet dissipated, and rushed to the city like a flood, launching the final fatal blow to the Japanese defenders who were still fighting the beasts.

However, the vicious Japanese soldiers did not collapse immediately because of this, but instead became even more cruel and crazy.

With the advantage of geographical advantages, the Japanese firepower points hiding in the dark will always appear one after another on the charge routes of Chinese officers and soldiers.

Light and heavy machine guns, rifles and pistols intertwined into a line of death, stirring up waves of storms and blew down batches of brave and fearless Chinese officers and soldiers.

However, the morale was strong and the Chinese commando officers and soldiers who were determined to die did not retreat because of this. They successively wiped out one Japanese firepower point after another, continuously compressed the encirclement and charged bravely towards the city.

In just one or two hours later, on the edge of the city, on the roads leading to the city, there were countless layers of corpses laid out on layers of layers, and it was no longer possible to distinguish between enemies and us. The eyes were filled with blood and corpses.

The fierce battle was until four o'clock in the morning, and the three assault battalions of the 9th Division finally took the lead in attacking the city and launched a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army in the city.
Chapter completed!
