...

The counterattack was requested by the 48th Army.

They felt that their strength had increased, so they wanted to challenge the 21st Japanese division.

Seeing that the troops were so active, Zhang Yong certainly agreed.

So, a counterattack was ordered.

"superior!"

"superior!"

The 48th Army had more than 20,000 people, all of which were put into battle.

The front of the attack is actually very narrow. It is the defense area of ​​the 21st Japanese division.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese invaders, the national army came for Ezhou. In fact, it was not. They came for the Japanese invaders outside the city.

So many Japanese invaders could not all hide in the city. Most of them were outside the city.

This part of the Japanese invaders is the fat meat on their mouths.

They do not have enough artillery cover. The firepower is not as strong as the 48th Army.

Zhang Yong did not go to the front line. Instead, he was in charge of the rear command.

"Report! Xinbao Township takes it!"

"Report! Take it down in Huaixiang Town!"

"Report……"

Good news spread frequently and progressed smoothly.

The Japanese strongholds outside Ezhou were conquered one after another.

One after another, more than a thousand Japanese invaders were eliminated. It is not difficult for the time being.

The hard bone is near Ezhou.

However, Wei Yunsong had prepared enough artillery fire.

Zhang Yong also equipped all Italian guns with enough shells and made them hard.

Although the number of Italian artillery is insufficient, the number of shells is absolutely sufficient.

All the rocket launchers were also moved to the front line.

Rockets are transported from the rear.

Of course, Zhang Yong was responsible for providing it. There was an extra period of transportation.

But it's okay. The 48th Army has its own civilian team. They are all from Guizhou Province. They also receive food and wages and are responsible for logistics transportation.

When necessary, these civilians can also replenish themselves in the team and can fight by picking up the gun.

In this regard, the reserve soldiers seem to be more perfect than the Huangpu direct line.

"Report!"

"Call from the Nine War Zone!"

Suddenly a staff officer came to report that he had called.

It was a phone call from Changsha. Liu Zhi, commander of the Nine War Zone, wanted to find Zhang Yong.

“Didn’t you just go on the phone before?”

Zhang Yong was confused.

Could something happened to Xue Yue?

It shouldn't be that fast. There is no abnormality in the empty finger map!

Come and answer the phone.

It was indeed Liu Zhi called.

Flying from Changsha to the 48th Army Headquarters.

"Commander-in-Chief Liu..."

"Shaolong, are you doing something big on your side?"

"Big move? No!"

"Didn't you launch a counterattack? It's said that the momentum is very strong!"

"Only, the 48th Army was all involved in the battle."

Zhang Yong told the truth.

The sound and momentum are both big and small.

In terms of numbers, a single army has more than 20,000 people, which is indeed not many. But it has strong firepower!

After strengthening more than a dozen Italian artillery continuously, the firepower of the 48th Army was immediately washed up.

What's more, there are a large number of simple launchers. This thing can also be made up for the numbers and can be covered on a large scale.

"Shaolong, tell me, how do we cooperate with you!"

"Cooperate?"

"You sing the lead role, I sing the supporting role!"

"this……"

Zhang Yong felt that the other party might have misunderstood.

It's just a counterattack of an army. There are no big scenes and no plans.

I didn't even think about taking Ezhou down.

Actually, I don't like to attack.

Even with fierce artillery fire, there were serious casualties.

What's more, there were several divisions around Hankou, and the troops were actually quite strong.

It is definitely impossible to eat a division of Japanese invaders.

The 105th Japanese invaders is right behind the 21st Division. You can join the battle at any time.

The 48th Army's counterattack was to chew the two Japanese 21st Division. It was impossible to chew the two Japanese divisions at the same time. It was not that good tooth.

Unless there are a large number of 155 self-propelled howitzers, or five pairs of wheels...

"No need, Commander-in-Chief Liu, my scale is not big. You should concentrate your troops against Okamura Yasuji."

"Okay. If you need it, just open your mouth."

"good."

Zhang Yong agreed.

Chat for a few words and then hang up the phone.

Looking at the military map on the wall, I found many mistakes and omissions.

The intelligence department of the 48th Army was not very powerful. It was unable to grasp the movements of the Japanese invaders in a timely manner.

"Come!"

"arrive!"

“Modify the information.”

"yes."

Zhang Yong called the staff officer.

Compare the null finger map to correct the wrong information.

By accident, I suddenly discovered that the 71st Army of the National Army was in danger and was likely to be attacked by the flanks of the 16th Division of the Japanese invaders.

The mission of the 71st Army was to encircle and annihilate the 27th Division. So, I kept staring at the 27th Division. But I didn't expect that there was a 16th Japanese division on the side.

Obviously, this should be a conspiracy of the Japanese invaders.

This is how war is. You plot against me. I plot against you. We are all looking for the other party’s mistakes.

Find the other party’s fatal loopholes and avoid exposing loopholes as much as possible. This is the basic law of war. This is how famous generals were born.

Before, Okamura Yasuji suffered a loss and lost a 106th Division. Now, he must fight back.

Perhaps, the 71st Army of the National Army is the fat meat in the mouth of the Japanese invaders. They are targeted.

what to do?

Remind the Nine War Zone?

Remind Xue Yue?
