All the preparations Lin Fan was making at this time were based on his assessment of the current situation.

In the more than ten years of the War of Resistance, many major battles had occurred.

What happened even more were the local skirmishes that took place every day throughout the country.

Lin Fan knew the outcome of the Battle of Wuhan.

He had been in this world for ten months,

Lin Fan had not changed the overall direction of this world,

But he clearly understood that

He had changed some local parts of this world.

At least the Jurong base area, the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant, and the ground attack aircraft

These were all established or produced under his influence.

Therefore, Lin Fan was prepared to work hard this time,

Trying to change history a little.

Wuhan was too important,

Lin Fan was willing to take the risk to defend Wuhan.

From the telegram sent back by Chiang Kai-shek,

Lin Fan knew that this plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Second Army would definitely be approved.

After all, this plan, in every aspect,

Was beneficial to the National Army and Chiang Kai-shek without any harm.

That was why Lin Fan began to make war preparations so quickly.

To complete this encirclement,

Lin Fan was preparing to capture Huoshan and Lu'an,

And from there, cut off the connection between the Japanese Second Army and the rear.

Hefei, Shucheng, and Tongcheng,

Could be used as the rear for the Special Forces Brigade,

And also as the second line of defense.

This was a grand plan,

And now it was still in the equipment stage of the plan.

After Regiment Commander Chen Sichuan received Lin Fan's order,

He felt very surprised.

He didn't know why the brigade commander would suddenly change the battle plan,

But whether he understood it or not,

He would execute it first.

Since they wanted to defend Hefei,

They had to occupy Hefei Airport.

At the same time, they had to defend against possible Japanese attacks.

Some of the supplies at the railway station also needed to be left behind,

To be used as supplies for holding out here.

Zhang Shun was a little unhappy with Chen Sichuan's temporary change of heart.

He was clear about one thing:

The other party was the consignor, and a consignor with strong military power.

In the Jianghu (martial world), Zhang Shun might be a local tyrant,

But in front of a real army,

Especially an army that dared to fight the Japanese head-on,

He still knew his place.

Chen Sichuan clearly saw through the thoughts of this outwardly rough,

But in reality, extremely meticulous bandit leader.

He said with a smile:

"Chief Zhang, don't worry,

As long as you are brave enough,

We will be transporting so many supplies next that I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Zhang Shun quickly asked what other work there was.

Chen Sichuan only pointed in the direction of Jurong:

"Transporting goods from Jiangnan (south of the Yangtze River) to Hefei,

Dare you do it?"

Zhang Shun smiled: "Isn't this what we've been doing all along?"

The preparations for the Special Forces Brigade had only just begun,

Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō, in accordance with the order of Division Commander Fujie Keisuke,

Gathered the last four thousand Japanese soldiers of the entire 30th Brigade who could still stand up and march.

They abandoned the remaining two thousand or so wounded soldiers,

And even abandoned the three thousand or so severed hands that had been cut off and placed in cloth bags.

"Let the logistics team transport these things!"

Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō instructed the Japanese soldiers under his command.

When they set out from Huoshan, they were eight full battalions,

Nearly ten thousand Japanese soldiers.

Now, less than five thousand Japanese soldiers were returning,

More than half of them were casualties!

He didn't know what kind of expression Division Commander Fujie Keisuke would have when he saw this scene.

Now was not the time to think too much,

It was time to act, to quickly return to Huoshan.

Although Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō was anxious,

His troops still brought enough heavy weapons with them.

He was not sure if there would be guerrillas harassing them on the way back,

These weapons could not be abandoned.

As for the weapons of the wounded soldiers,

Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō did not take them away either,

They were just piled up randomly,

Letting the wounded soldiers take care of them,

His troops had to retreat quickly.

Brigade Commander Kasaba Akito in another direction,

Was leading the 19th Brigade,

Doing the same thing as the 30th Brigade.

The only difference was that these Japanese soldiers who could still stand up and walk were retreating,

While the wounded soldiers here still had doctors and nurses to take care of them.

The Japanese soldiers on the ground were retreating,

More than twenty kilometers away from them,

There were Special Forces troops chasing frantically.

Both sides were running in the same direction,

But it was really difficult to close the distance of more than twenty kilometers.

Mao Wenxing, who was still patrolling in this airspace,

Immediately discovered this abnormal practice of the Japanese army.

Originally, he thought that the Japanese army would stop in place,

At least sort out the wounded soldiers,

And take them away together.

Now, the Japanese army had abandoned all their burdens,

Just to retreat quickly.

This latest situation, of course, could not be delayed,

He immediately notified the various chasing companies on the ground,

As well as notifying the two regimental commanders, Jia Shusheng and Ye Dadan, who were chasing the Japanese soldiers,

And also notifying Chen Sichuan.

After Chen Sichuan received the intelligence sent by Mao Wenxing,

Without hesitation,

He immediately issued a second attack order to Xiao Jianying's aviation squadron:

"Continue to attack the Japanese soldiers you just attacked again."

At this time,

The Japanese soldiers were still marching in the wilderness,

It was the best time to annihilate them.

Get the Japanese soldiers moving,

And eliminate them in the movement.

That was what Chen Sichuan wanted to do now,

Xiao Jianying and his flight team had only returned to Tongcheng Airport an hour ago,

And they immediately received the order to attack again.

Their fighter planes had not consumed any ammunition in the previous operation against the Japanese army.

Therefore, after returning to the airport, they only refueled and inspected the planes,

And had already started their routine training.

Sun Guanyu, Fan Jialiang, and the others who had just carried out the ground attack,

Immediately began to receive ammunition replenishment after returning to the airport.

Fuel was filled, ammunition was replenished,

And the planes were inspected.

While this work was still in progress,

Chen Sichuan's order came:

"Attack again, the target is still the same Japanese soldiers as before."

Squadron Leader Sun Guanyu said with a smile:

"That's how it should be,

We should always beat the Japanese when they're down,

And if we see an opportunity, we should just annihilate them all."

Of course, they were clear that:

The air force could only kill some of the Japanese soldiers on the ground,

Disrupt the Japanese army's formation,

And strike at their morale.

If they really wanted to annihilate the Japanese soldiers, they still had to rely on the infantry brothers.

It was a pity that the infantry was too far away from the Japanese soldiers this time,

Otherwise,

They could have just annihilated the main force of the Japanese army.

Now that they were being ordered to attack again,

On the one hand, it was to continue to attack the Japanese soldiers,

And on the other hand, it was not without the idea of ​​delaying the Japanese soldiers.

If the Japanese soldiers stayed in place and could not move,

The infantry would catch up quickly if they gave chase.

Chen Sichuan did have such an idea.

The plan to seize Hefei was proposed by him,

The largest Japanese force around Hefei was Fujie Keisuke's 16th Division.

In the two places of Lu'an and Huoshan,

The more miserable the two Japanese infantry brigades were beaten,

The more obvious the advantages of the Special Forces Brigade would be in the upcoming battle to defend Hefei.

Now the only problem was:

The Japanese soldiers were running too fast,

They were even abandoning the wounded in order to retreat quickly.

What was the purpose of this?

Chen Sichuan could figure it out with his toes:

The Japanese soldiers had more important things to do,

This matter was more important than their wounded soldiers.

This matter was of course to seize Hefei.

Hefei was the logistics supply base of the Japanese Second Army,

Without it, the Japanese Second Army would be cut off from supplies,

And the time they could last could be counted down.

Chen Sichuan did not expect the Japanese soldiers to abandon the wounded,

Because abandoning the wounded would greatly damage the morale of the entire army.

Now that they had made their choice,

Of course, Chen Sichuan had to make corresponding changes,

Sending out planes to continue the attack,

And also to maintain continuous attacks on the Japanese soldiers without interruption,

To keep the Japanese soldiers pinned to the ground by the planes,

At least for three hours, to make it difficult for the Japanese soldiers to move.

This order gave Squadron Leader Xiao Jianying a headache.

When their planes attacked the Japanese soldiers,

In order to save their lives, the Japanese soldiers would only run around randomly,

Dodging everywhere, and would never move towards one goal.

Such behavior was no different from suicide.

But the plane's attack always came and went quickly.

According to the Japanese soldiers' disregard for casualties,

And their practice of abandoning the wounded,

As long as they immediately marched after the plane attack was over,

It would be impossible to complete the task assigned by Regiment Commander Chen.

What to do?

This was a problem!

Squadron Leader Sun Guanyu thought it was easy,

He suggested: "It is less than 30 kilometers from Tongcheng to the battlefield,

It takes our attack aircraft at most no more than seven minutes to fly,

Let's calculate it as eight minutes.

Divide the ground attack aircraft into three teams according to the number of seven, six, and six,

After the first team takes off, the second team takes off after a 30-minute interval,

And then the third team takes off after another 30-minute interval."

Squadron Leader Fan Jialiang immediately chimed in: "We can also do this for the Japanese soldiers attacking Lu'an."

Xiao Jianying understood and immediately said:

"Fighter planes can also be divided into two batches to attack!"

Once the plan was made, the various flight squadrons immediately took action.

Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō led the Japanese soldiers on the highway back to Huoshan,

The sun in Huoshan in August was still very hot,

Looking out, the green leaves all reflected a dazzling white light.

The Japanese soldiers on the march were panting for breath,

And extremely thirsty.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" The sound that made all the Japanese soldiers tremble with fear came from the air again.

Before today, this sound was the most exciting for the Japanese soldiers.

After the hellish scene in the morning,

These Japanese soldiers already had psychological shadows.

They looked around in panic, observing the source of these sounds,

Trying to determine the nature of these planes:

To see if they belonged to their side or the other side.

Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō was no exception,

He looked in the direction of the sound,

And his face immediately changed:

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack! Disperse!

Hide to the side."

"Hide in the fields!"

…

The Japanese soldiers had tasted the bitterness of the previous strafing,

And had also learned their lesson.

However, their bitterness and experience

Were completely useless against attacks from the air,

What they could do,

Was just to make the possibility of their survival greater.

Squadron Leader Sun Guanyu said with a smile:

"Brothers! Aim and shoot,

These Japanese soldiers are now the meat on our chopping board,

Don't let one go."

"Yes!" A uniform response came from the earphones.

In the battle in the morning,

They were trying to eliminate the enemy as much as possible,

In this battle now,

They not only had to annihilate the Japanese soldiers,

But also to delay time,

To keep these Japanese soldiers pinned here and rubbing against the ground,

So that they could never move forward half a step again.

Waiting for the Sixth Regiment to catch up from behind,

And then encircle and annihilate these Japanese soldiers.

If Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō knew what these people above his head were thinking,

He would definitely sneer:

"Even if the 30th Brigade has been severely damaged one after another,

It still has more than four thousand fully combat-capable Japanese soldiers,

To use a mere regiment of more than a thousand people,

To eat up his more than four thousand Japanese soldiers,

That's impossible!"

Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō strode towards the fields,

He was the brigade commander and enjoyed special care.

Judging from the experience gained last time,

A single Japanese soldier was the least likely to attract an attack.

The current Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō was surrounded by such a situation,

His guards stopped all the Japanese soldiers who tried to run in the same direction as the brigade commander.

This left Sasaki with a radius of more than thirty meters,

Without any other Japanese soldiers.

When Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō was lying on the ground,

The attack of Sun Guanyu's squadron also began.

This time, they also changed their attack method,

Two attack planes attacked side by side,

After a distance of five hundred meters,

There were two more attacks coming all the way.

This continuous strafing,

Made it impossible for the Japanese soldiers on the ground to get up and escape.

After the planes in front had strafed, some Japanese soldiers

The shadows of the fuselage were projected on themselves,

They immediately got up,

And ran to a farther place.

They could only run ten meters or so with such an escape,

And then the second round of strafing would come.

Even so, many Japanese soldiers ran hundreds of meters away from the highway.

At this time, there was a plane that was actually strafing along the edge of the escaping Japanese soldiers.

For those Japanese soldiers who dared to stand up and run,

Even if there was only one, they would keep chasing and strafing.

This meaning was very clear:

You can run out,

But be honest and lie on the ground,

Don't run around.

Of course, these Japanese soldiers did not know:

The attack planes in the air not only wanted to kill them,

But also to keep them pressed here so they couldn't move.

Battalion Commander Iyo Shōda was a subordinate of Watanabe Yūto, the First Battalion Commander of the 33rd Infantry Regiment of the 30th Brigade.

The battalion he was in,

Had suffered all the attacks that the 30th Infantry Brigade had suffered.

From the first round of bombing in the morning,

To the second round of bombing,

To the first round of strafing by the planes,

And the second round of strafing they were currently enduring.

The Japanese soldiers of Iyo Shōda's battalion,

Had also been reduced from the initial fifty-four,

All the way to the current fourteen Japanese soldiers.

Even so,

Battalion Commander Iyo Shōda still kept these Japanese soldiers tightly united around him.

When the plane came over,

He loudly ordered:

"Lie down and don't move!"

His voice was extremely stern.

Forcing the Japanese soldiers in the team who could still hear the order to obey.

When the projection of the plane in the sun,

Fell on them,

Battalion Commander Iyo Shōda loudly ordered:

"Crawl forward! Don't get up,

Just crawl into the fields like this."

His command was undoubtedly successful.

The entire Iyo Shōda's battalion had been crawling into the fields,

And still able to keep all fourteen Japanese soldiers following.

However, what Battalion Commander Iyo Shōda did not expect was:

Behind his battalion,

There were at least a hundred Japanese soldiers crawling over in the same way.

It turned out that these Japanese soldiers had discovered the benefits of doing so,

The neighboring Japanese soldiers followed suit,

And crawled over with Iyo Shōda's battalion.

Sun Guanyu in the air saw the group of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground,

The Japanese soldiers were now cunning:

When the planes were strafing,

They had been lying there motionless.

Making it impossible for the pilots in the air,

To tell which were corpses,

And which were the Japanese soldiers who were pretending to be alive.

What can be done about this situation?

They can only strafe all the way.

Now he was strafing all the way.

The Japanese soldiers of Iyo Shōda's battalion finally panicked,

A plane was waving four long, fiery red bullet chains,

And strafing all the way towards their group of Japanese soldiers.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere,

Screams rang out,

Some Japanese soldiers, after being injured,

Could no longer bear it and immediately stood up and ran wildly.

Some Japanese soldiers, before the strafing arrived,

Could not bear this gamble of using their lives as a bet,

They also got up from the ground,

Trying to use their efforts to fight for their lives.

These maverick practices of theirs,

Only made them die faster,

There was no second result.

At the same time, they also made the surrounding Japanese soldiers die even more.

That was how Battalion Commander Iyo Shōda was blown up by a shell fired by Squadron Leader Sun Guanyu.

Half an hour later, Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō was already five hundred meters away from the location of the attack.

But he still couldn't stand up like he did in the morning,

In less than fifty meters from him,

Five or six corpses had already fallen,

All of them were strafed by those attack planes.

Brigade Commander Sasaki Yūshō had been crawling all the way,

Stopping and not moving when the plane strafed,

And quickly crawling when the plane was gone.

When he got here, he realized:

Even if he crawled like this,

When he reached a certain edge,

He would still attract the ruthless strafing of those planes in the air.

Half an hour had passed,

The strafing of those planes in the air was not as intense as it was at first,

But the number of planes in the air had increased.

Yes, this time the attack planes deliberately controlled the consumption of ammunition,

Sun Guanyu and the others who had set off in the first batch,

Still had a lot of ammunition left,

So they started strafing the Japanese soldiers together with the second batch of planes that arrived.

Now they were intentionally clearing out the Japanese soldiers who had run the farthest.

The attack from the air,

Although it could not kill all the Japanese soldiers,

It must not let the Japanese soldiers run away in an organized manner,

Even if it was a group of ten or so Japanese soldiers gathering together,

They must be dispersed.

Brigade Commander Kasaba Akito hid in the grass,

Trembling as he watched the planes in the air still strafing non-stop.

"Aren't they tired?"

This time, the aerial attack had lasted for an hour.

The attack planes in the air had not slacked off in the slightest,

They had been diligently strafing all suspicious targets on the ground.

This made things difficult for these Japanese soldiers of the 19th Brigade.

From the beginning of the aerial attack,

They had been lying on the ground,

And had been silently enduring these attacks.

But this kind of attack was endless,

Anyone who endured this kind of attack for an hour would collapse.

In fact, many Japanese soldiers of the 19th Brigade had already collapsed.

Some of them roared and stood up,

Using the weapons in their hands to shoot at the planes in the air.

Some of them got up in a panic and ran away in a panic.

These Japanese soldiers' resistance and escape were all in vain,

They were eventually all shot down by bullets from the air.

An hour and a half had passed,

The aerial attack was still continuing.

At this time, the team at the front of the Sixth Regiment had caught up to the place where the Japanese soldiers had abandoned the wounded.

Fuyudo Yūto was a company commander of the Second Battalion of the 33rd Regiment of the Japanese 30th Brigade.

He was also the highest-ranking officer among the wounded soldiers abandoned by the Japanese army.

And his injury was not too serious,

He had only injured his thigh and could not walk on his own.

After being abandoned, he began to organize these wounded soldiers to save themselves.

Company Commander Fuyudo Yūto did not know if guerrillas would come to attack,

But he had to command the more than two thousand wounded soldiers here to defend themselves,

At least until the medical soldiers sent by the 16th Division arrived.

Therefore, he had arranged for the Japanese soldiers to build defenses early on,

Ready to meet the possible attack.

The reconnaissance platoon at the front of the Sixth Regiment suddenly broke into the defensive circle of these Japanese soldiers.

Facing the fierce firepower of the Japanese soldiers, reconnaissance platoon leader Xie Wu

Was very surprised:

Wasn't it said that there were only wounded soldiers left here?

Now he realized that wounded soldiers did not mean that they had no combat power.

Cornered beasts still fight, these injured Japanese soldiers

Were sometimes more difficult to deal with than when they were not injured.

Xie Wu could only order the reconnaissance platoon to retreat,

And grope along the Japanese army's defense line,

To probe the depth and width of the Japanese army's defense line.

The First Company and Second Company following behind them quickly arrived.

Company Commander Zhen Jianshu waved his hand:

"Attack!"

Company Commander Fuyudo Yūto was at the forefront of the Japanese army's front line at this time.

He was only a company commander, and he usually had to personally charge into battle when fighting.

This time, he was able to stand at the forefront,

And he had indeed organized these Japanese soldiers, who originally had no fighting spirit.

They had just repelled a team of more than ten National Army soldiers,

Making these Japanese wounded soldiers even more excited.

Now they were waiting for the next battle,

And this battle came as soon as it was said.

The First and Second Companies did not delay,

They divided into left and right routes to attack the Japanese army.

Infantry guns, mortars, and rockets flew towards the Japanese army's positions.

The special forces' homemade tanks were pushed to the front,

Running very fast.

Company Commander Fuyudo Yūto was unlucky,

He died in the first round of shelling.

With his death, no more Japanese soldiers stood up to command,

And the defense line formed by these more than two thousand Japanese soldiers collapsed at once.

They no longer fired their guns at all,

And were all hiding in corners, trembling.

These Japanese soldiers neither surrendered nor resisted.

Like startled wild chickens, they hid their heads in the grass,

Completely disregarding their exposed butts.

When the First and Second Companies charged onto the positions of these wounded Japanese soldiers,

They saw such a scene,

The Japanese soldiers were all lying on the ground,

Holding weapons in their hands,

Neither getting up nor firing.

Just sitting or lying there.

The Special Forces had their own way of dealing with the Japanese soldiers.

The First and Second Companies wanted to advance quickly, but their steps were slowed down.

When the Third and Fourth Companies following behind them charged up,

The First and Second Companies were still fighting,

Such a battle required time,

But what the Sixth Regiment lacked now was time.

The Third and Fourth Companies, as well as the Fifth and Sixth Companies following behind them, did not stop,

They continued to chase forward.

When Company Commander Zhen met Ye Dadan,

He said very aggrievedly:

"Regimental Commander! It's not that we don't want to continue to advance,

It's just that they are unwilling to take over."

More than two thousand Japanese wounded soldiers,

They had been refusing to surrender,

Making the First and Second Companies very helpless! If these Japanese soldiers were not wiped out,

Staying behind would definitely be a hidden danger,

But it would always take time to wipe out these Japanese soldiers.

Ye Dadan did not blame them,

Looking at the Japanese corpses on the ground,

He said with a smile:

"You did the right thing!

What is our purpose in chasing up?

It is to kill the Japanese soldiers,

This time you two companies,

In such a short period of time,

Killed more than two thousand Japanese soldiers,

I will ask for credit for you."

The regimental commander's words,

Immediately revived Company Commander Zhen.

He said loudly, "Regimental Commander! I request that we continue to chase!"

"Chase!" Ye Dadan ordered loudly.

The soldiers of the First and Second Companies immediately cheered,

They had just wiped out the Japanese soldiers here,

And they had not had time to clean up the battlefield,

If the regimental commander asked them to clean up the battlefield,

They would have nothing to do with the subsequent battles today.

Now that the regimental commander did not let them clean up the battlefield,

What could be more exciting than this?

Ye Dadan looked at the battlefield here,

Thought for a while, and ordered:

"The anti-aircraft machine gun company, send a squad,

To clean up the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

Company Commander Long Lehe agreed.

The main task of his company was air defense,

But on today's battlefield,

The entire sky was full of special forces planes flying.

The Japanese army's air force in this direction had never appeared,

So there was not much for them to do.

Long Lehe's anti-aircraft machine gun company

Could only do this kind of cleaning up the battlefield.

Fortunately, the regimental commander only ordered them to leave a squad,

To leave a squad,

Who was better to leave?

Long Lehe had an idea:

The regimental commander did not specify which squad to leave.

"Lu Youqing!"

"Here!"

"Your squad will stay and clean up the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

Although Squad Leader Lu of the cooking squad was a little stunned,

But he did not hesitate,

And accepted the order immediately.

Long Lehe was secretly happy:

Letting the cooking squad stay to clean up the battlefield,

The entire company's combat troops could continue to chase forward.

It was a win-win situation, and it would not delay participating in the subsequent battles at all.

Ye Dadan had no idea that Company Commander Long had such a trick up his sleeve,

And he had already followed the troops to continue chasing forward.

"Clang!" With a sound,

Squad Leader Lu Youqing happily put down the big pot he was carrying on his back.

He ordered to his nine subordinates:

"You have all heard it,

The company commander ordered us to clean up the battlefield.

Do you see it?

On this battlefield,

There are so many Japanese soldiers,

We are all responsible for them.

Now I order: Du Hongmao, Jiao Junming, Jin Feiying, and Fang Yongyi, you four will be the first group,

Responsible for giving all the Japanese soldiers a final blow.

The rest will be the second group, Geng Tianfu and Nong Hongxin, you two are responsible for collecting weapons and ammunition,

The remaining three will be with me, responsible for collecting various equipment and clothing, and boots.

Do you all understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone in the entire cooking squad answered in unison.

"Action!"

The four people responsible for giving the Japanese soldiers a final blow had already rushed up with their rifles,

Du Hongmao held his rifle,

The bayonet accurately pierced through the Japanese soldier's throat,

He stabbed three Japanese soldiers in a row.

Then he asked the squad leader: "Old squad leader!

The company commander ordered us to clean up the battlefield here,

What will they eat later?"

Lu Youqing was over forty years old,

And could be considered relatively old among the officers and soldiers of the entire Special Forces.

He said with a smile:

"We can still catch up after we finish cleaning up here,

And there will be time to cook."

Du Hongmao's movements did not change,

But he was still a little disbelieving:

"Squad leader, are you getting old and your eyes are blurred?

There are so many Japanese soldiers here,

There are at least several hundred that we can see right now.

Look,

All the way down,

There are corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere,

I'm afraid there are thousands of Japanese soldiers,

Can we finish it in a short time?"

Lu Youqing said cheerfully:

"It's a great thing to be able to give thousands of Japanese soldiers a final blow at once.

Even when our regiment retreated from Jiangyin last time,

We didn't have such a big formation.

Let's move faster,

Strive to finish these things in three hours,

And we can still get to the front,

To cook dinner for the company.

You're delaying this effort by asking questions,

You can also give a few more stabs."

Du Hongmao stopped talking,

And his movements really became much faster.

The four of them gave the final blow in the front,

And their speed was much faster than those collecting weapons in the back.

They quickly disappeared without a trace,

Lu Youqing and the others were not in a hurry,

And they still took the weapons from the hands of these Japanese soldiers lying on the ground on their own,

And put them together.

In another direction,

Jia Shusheng's Third Regiment had also arrived at the place where the Japanese soldiers had left their wounded.

Here, the wounded soldiers had no officers to organize them,

And they had no strength to resist at all.

They were only resisting symbolically,

Firing a few shots at the officers and soldiers of the Third Regiment who were charging up,

After those Japanese soldiers who dared to fire were blown away by the infantry guns and mortars,

The remaining Japanese soldiers did not dare to move.

Their situation now was very embarrassing,

These Japanese soldiers wanted to live very much,

But the Bushido education they had received for a long time,

Made it impossible for them to accept the shameful act of surrendering.

According to the education they had received,

Only seppuku (ritual suicide) was the most glorious thing to do at this time.

But it hurt a lot to cut one's stomach!

Perhaps they were injured,

Perhaps they were abandoned,

The endurance of these Japanese soldiers was greatly reduced.

Anyway, they did not want to die, nor did they want to surrender.

Company Commander Na Wenxuan of the First Company relieved these Japanese soldiers.

The company commander had no intention of accepting these Japanese soldiers' surrender,

And of course, he did not persuade these Japanese soldiers to surrender.

He only ordered the three platoons under his command:

"Attention all platoons, a cornered rabbit will bite! These Japanese soldiers are injured,

But cornered beasts still fight,

Each squad and each platoon must pay attention,

Don't suffer a loss at the hands of these Japanese soldiers.

They are more ferocious than wild beasts,

Use grenades, rockets, and infantry guns that can be used,

Don't be reluctant to use these things."

His words were conveyed to every soldier of the First Company,

And of course, the soldiers would not have any pity for the Japanese soldiers.

They strictly followed the company commander's orders,

And maintained the highest vigilance against all the Japanese soldiers,

Carefully guarding against the Japanese soldiers' dirty tricks.

The situation here in the Third Regiment was similar to that of the Sixth Regiment.

When the First and Second Companies charged and killed the Japanese soldiers,

The Third and Fourth Companies had already rushed up,

They rushed past directly,

And continued to rush forward.

Company Commander Huo Yeyi of the Third Company led his troops on a fierce charge all the way,

Rushing past the section of the road where the Japanese soldiers had first encountered the plane attack,

And continued to chase forward for five kilometers,

Finally seeing their own planes in the air still flying at low altitude,

And strafing the Japanese soldiers.

At this time,

The Japanese 19th Brigade had been rubbed on the ground for two hours.

For a full two hours,

The 19th Brigade could not move an inch,

And they had been suppressed and beaten by the attack planes in the air all the time.

The ground did not know how many times it had been plowed over and over again by the planes.

When the Third and Fourth Companies arrived at the battlefield,

These young men in the ground attack squadron,

Did not immediately hand over the Japanese soldiers.

Fan Jialiang had spoken to Company Commander Huo Yeyi in the air,

Telling them that the vanguard of the Japanese soldiers was still two kilometers ahead.

What else was there to say?

Company Commander Huo immediately led the Third Company and rushed to the front from the side,

They had to go to the front,

And block the Japanese soldiers in the front,

When the remaining companies of the Third Regiment arrived,

The brothers of the aviation squadron would let go and hand them over after the Japanese soldiers were surrounded from all directions.

After understanding this,

The Third and Fourth Companies immediately contacted the teams following behind,

And they continued to rush forward.

Jia Shusheng had also seen the planes in the air at this time,

Understood what they meant,

And immediately made arrangements:

The Third and Fourth Companies went to the front to block the Japanese soldiers' retreat,

The Fifth and Sixth Companies established a defense line on the east side,

The Seventh and Eighth Companies established a defense line on the west side,

The Ninth and Tenth Companies arrived at the closure at last,

And surrounded the last team of this Japanese brigade.

In fact, using a regiment to surround a Japanese brigade

Could not achieve perfection,

And could only achieve a rough encirclement,

After all, a Japanese brigade,

Even if they had suffered more than half of their casualties,

They still had nearly five thousand Japanese soldiers here.

Their marching route was very long,

Having been strafed by planes for two hours,

These Japanese soldiers had been crawling and crawling,

And they had also crawled out thousands of meters to the front, back, left, and right.

Under the surveillance of the planes in the air,

They still could not stand up and run directly,

But these Japanese soldiers had been looking for opportunities.

Brigade Commander Kasaba Akito was like this,

And he was now two thousand meters away from the location where he had first been attacked.

But even here,

It was still within the strafing range of those planes in the air,

Their strafing range had been expanding,

Wherever the Japanese soldiers went,

They would chase them to that place.

Brigade Commander Kasaba Akito already had a death wish in his heart.

After being held here for an hour,

He understood the reason in his heart:

No matter how fierce the aerial attack was,

It could not completely annihilate the 19th Brigade.

But the planes in the air were still doing these useless things.

What was their purpose?

Brigade Commander Kasaba Akito thought of the answer:

They were holding the 19th Brigade down and not letting it move,

Waiting for their infantry to catch up.

It was with such a judgment,

That Brigade Commander Kasaba Akito felt that the Grim Reaper's scythe was already on his neck.

He had already told those guards who were only ten meters away to be ready:

Always be prepared for the planes in the air to retreat,

And immediately run towards Hefei.

He was clear that this team could let the planes drag down the 19th Brigade,

And there would definitely be heavy troops stationed on the road back to Lu'an.

If he wanted to survive,

He could only find another way out.

Jia Shusheng looked at the First and Second Companies, who were running with sweat all over their bodies,

And nodded in appreciation:

"You rest for a while,

Catch your breath before participating in the battle again!"

"Report to the regimental commander! We can join the battle immediately." Company Commander Na Wenxuan of the First Company did not appreciate it.

"Report to the regimental commander! In order to participate in the first attack,

We ran so fast,

We have already rested on
