Invincible from the sword

Chapter 332 You are too good at bragging
At that time, it was Lao Tang, the favorite general of the old man in Shancheng, who was deployed on the outskirts of Taierzhuang.

Lao Tang is the commander-in-chief of the No.30 First Army.

There are two armies under his command.

Equipped and fired.

Individual quality is also very strong.

But he also has a lot of eyes.

He didn't listen to Li Delin's command at all.

According to the combat mission, his two armies were responsible for blocking the Japanese Banmoto Brigade.

Attract the Japanese Banmoto Brigade to Qi County, and then, together with other troops, surrounded and wiped out the Japanese brigade.

This battle plan, that is, the old man in Shancheng, agreed to it.

As a result, as soon as the Dian army arrived to deploy defenses on his flank, Lao Tang retreated with his troops.

Directly pitted the Yunnan Army.

If it weren't for the Dian army's recklessness in fighting and blocking the attack of the Banben brigade, then the entire Taierzhuang battle would have been impossible to win.

Later, Commander Wu of the Central Army persuaded Lao Tang for a long time, and when the situation was very good, Lao Tang sent more troops to Taierzhuang.

With such a big incident, the old man in Shancheng didn't give a damn to Laotang.

He actually awarded Lao Tang the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.

Lao Lu, the commander of the Yunnan Army, dropped his cup.

Now that we are in Wuhan again, Zhang Lei is a little worried that this situation will continue.

However, Lao Tang, his No. 30 First Army is now under the command of the Ninth Theater.

Li Delin doesn't care about this guy.

The troops of other old men in Shancheng, although Li Delin was also a headache to command, were at least a little better than Lao Tang.

Generally speaking, the old man Shancheng is still very positive about this war.

After all, this time is different from the Xuzhou battle.

Whether Wuhan can be held this time is related to the entire battle situation.

And now, the old man in Shancheng has tasted the sweetness of winning the battle.

Starting from the battle of Changsha, the national army has won several big victories in a row.

Let the whole world look at the old man in Shancheng with admiration.

This greatly satisfied the self-esteem of the old man in Shancheng.

It is precisely because of this that the Lighthouse and Su countries strengthened their assistance to the national army.

Although the intensity of assistance is not very large, it is already a good start.

At least he now has two Soviet Armored Armies and two American Armored Armies.

This was almost unthinkable before.

Ever since his elite German weapon master was wiped out in the Battle of Songhu, the old man in Shancheng has always been uncertain.

I feel nothing to rely on.

Although the overall combat effectiveness of his direct troops is not bad, compared with the beginning, it is still far behind.

So on the whole, the old man in Shancheng attached great importance to this battle.

Basically all his direct descendants were sent over.

However, Lao Tang is still not trustworthy.

That guy's command ability is very poor.

No brains either.

The reason why he can gain the trust of the old man in Shancheng is because he belongs to Huangpu.

And he obeyed the old man in Shancheng.

These two points are the most valued by the old man in Shancheng.

Of course, people like Lao Tang are hardly looked down upon.

Except for the old man in Shancheng, no one liked him.

The right-hand man of the old man in Shancheng, Lao Gu looked down on Lao Tang.

This time Lao Tang's No.30 First Army was under the command of the Ninth War Zone, and Chen Cixiu also had a headache.

That's why Lao Tang's No.30 First Army was placed in the Second Corps.

If it was placed in the First Corps, it might cause some trouble.

At this time, Li Delin was in a state of desperation.

It has been a day since the Second Japanese Army attacked Lu'an.

So far, most of the outlying positions in Lu'an have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.

The casualties of the three armies were very heavy.

In order to attack Lu'an, the Japanese army actually invested three divisions at once.

This was beyond Li Delin's expectation.

Tiger Boy has already sent him a telegram, saying that the No. 11 Japanese Army has been blocked in Taihu Lake until now.

And wiped out almost [-] Japanese troops.

This surprised Li Delin.

Six thousand Japanese troops!

This is already the strength of the two regiments of the Japanese army.

He fought the Japanese army so many times, and the greatest victory he achieved was the annihilation of more than 1 Japanese troops in Taierzhuang.

This battle made his reputation go abroad.

Even foreign newspapers reported on him extensively.

But compared with Zhang Lei, Li Delin immediately felt that the battle he commanded was so-so.

Tiger Boy said in the telegram that the Japanese No.11 Army is now increasing its attack on Taihu Lake.

In order to cooperate with the Japanese No.11 Army's offensive, the Japanese Second Army will definitely strengthen its diversionary attack on its fifth theater.

Now Tiger Boy's First Corps is preparing to retreat from Taihu Lake, attracting the No.11 Japanese Army's Hada Detachment and No.20 Seventh Division to both sides of the Yangtze River.

Thereby dividing and annihilating.

His fifth war zone must attract the Japanese Second Army to the Lu'an and Huoshan areas.

Make it impossible to advance eastward to reinforce the No.11 Japanese army.

Li Delin attaches great importance to this.

If Tiger Boy can annihilate the Japanese Army's Hada Detachment and the No.20 Seventh Division, it will be a huge blow to the entire Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army.

At that time, if the Japanese army wants to continue to maintain its combat advantage over the national army, it can only send reinforcements directly under the division.

In this way, Tiger Boy can continue to attract the Japanese army to advance southward.

In a large enough space, it is completely possible to severely injure the Japanese army again.

Li Delin sent a telegram to Lu'an, asking them to stick to Lu'an for another day.

One day later, the three armies defending Lu'an withdrew to Huoshan.

Then go west and enter the outer positions of the mall to defend.

At the same time, Li Delin ordered Commander Li of the Fourth Corps to prepare for battle and prepare to move eastward at any time to attack the Japanese army on the west bank of the Yangtze River.

The planes of Xu Qi'an and Leif have now reached the sky north of Lu'an.

Waiting for the appearance of Japanese aircraft.

And the bombers and fighter jets of the No. 11 Army of the Japanese Army, a total of [-], rushed towards Lu'an in a dense manner.

Among these planes, there were thirty bombers.

And seventy fighters.

There are two bombs mounted on each fighter.

In the belly of the bomber, there were ten bombs.

All those big bombs.

In the lead are several Japanese flight captains.

In their view, this bombing mission is very easy.

According to past combat experience, the entire air supremacy is in the hands of their island nation troops.

There are not many planes in the national army at all.

Although Neiji Okamura said to be careful of the opponent's plane.

But in the eyes of the Japanese flight captain, this is not a problem at all.

Seventy planes?
cut!
That guy Bo Tian is too good at blowing.

The planes in the hands of the national army can be counted on the fingers.

It is simply impossible to have so many planes.

Their Japanese planes are still bombing the mountain city.

If the national army has aircraft, it will also be deployed in mountain cities first.

There is an old man from Shancheng there.

So here, it is impossible for the national army to have so many planes.

Another seventy?

It would be nice to have seven.

The captain of the Japanese flight squadron didn't believe the news from Bo Tian at all.

According to the current speed, at most one hour, their fleet will be able to feel the Taihu Lake.

The captain of the Devil's Flying Squadron had a hideous expression on his face.

idiot.

I will blow up Taihu Lake to the ground.

The No.20 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army is stepping up its advance to Taihu Lake.

The head of the No.20 Seventh Division, Matsushita, had a sullen dog face, observing his troops with a binoculars.

Then his ears moved.

Very alert.

Turned half a circle like a dog's ear.

The sound of an airplane?
Matsushita was startled, and quickly held up the binoculars to observe.

After seeing the red plaster sign on the plane, Matsushita let out a breath.

Damn.

Scared me.

I thought it was the plane of the opposing army.

The leader of the devil's flight squadron was steering the plane buzzing forward when suddenly a swarm of bullets hit him.

The bullet drew a long gray trail in midair.

The captain of the devil's flight team was taken aback for a moment, and then saw that the engine above the nose of his plane was on fire.

A thick bullet hit the aircraft engine of the leader of the Devils Flying Battalion.

It was smoked right away.

The moment the bullet hit, a red flame erupted from the propeller.

At the same time, a thick black smoke came out.

The sound of the engine changed immediately.

The captain of the Devils Flying Brigade was taken aback.

Although I don't know what's going on, but the reaction is fast.

Immediately manipulated the joystick of the aircraft, trying to stabilize the aircraft.

But not at all.

The quality of the aircraft made by the Japanese army is very poor.

In order to pursue the greatest flight performance, the Japanese army's aircraft have basically zero protection capabilities.

As long as it is hit by a bullet, the probability of the plane crashing is basically [-]%.

That was the first batch of planes built.

Because of the shortage of steel resources in island countries, when manufacturing weapons, they basically save as much as they can.

In order not to lose money, Japan's largest aircraft manufacturer, Japan's Mitsubishi Corporation, has carried out substantial modifications and upgrades on the basis of the original aircraft.

Not to mention protection, that is, where steel was originally used, it has been changed to paper and wood.

This made the quality of the Japanese aircraft even worse.

Basically a flying coffin.

As soon as the engine of the Devil's flight captain's plane caught fire, it immediately began to tremble.

Then the plane lost control.

There was billowing black smoke.

He fell head first.

The captain of the Devils Flying Brigade turned pale with fright.

The joystick was pushed up and down by him.

Shiny.

But the whole plane didn't respond at all.

what! ! !
The captain of the Devils Flying Battalion wanted to parachute very much.

But it was found that there was no such device on his plane.

Boom.

The devil flew the captain's plane and fell to the ground.

Immediately, a huge fireball rose from the ground.

The fireball was mixed with billowing black smoke, which could be seen from far away.

A big hole was blown out in the ground.

Inside the big pit, there were several charred corpses of devils.

Matsushita, the commander of the No.20 Seventh Division of the Japanese Army, was stunned.

I thought I was wrong.
