Chapter 235
Command Room of the 51st Army.

The news that the 720 regiment defeated a brigade of devils by the Huaihe River quickly reached Commander Yu.

Hearing this news, Commander Yu's face was full of joy.

The chief of staff shouted: "The 720th regiment fought really well. It completely wiped out a brigade of little devils!"

Nodding his head, Commander Yu shouted: "Bengbu is the defense point of the entire Huaihe defense line. The 720 regiment was able to fight so well in the first wave of the devil's attack, which is beyond my expectation!"

The chief of staff shouted: "The combat power of the 720th regiment is not the strongest in the entire 51st army, but under the leadership of regimental commander Zhang, it beat the devils to death."

Commander Yu said with a smile: "It seems that the retreat of the 720th regiment to Bengbu was also intentional, and its purpose was to advance by retreating!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Little Bengbu is backed by the Huaihe River, and it is a desperate place, but Bengbu is different. It is not so easy for the devils to fight over if they are guarded by the river!"

Commander Yu shouted: "The chief of staff is right. The Huaihe River is a natural line of defense. The commander of the 720th regiment is more thoughtful than me when the enemy comes based on the beachhead defense!"

After a pause, Commander Yu asked again: "How about the positions on the left and right wings of the Huaihe defense line?"

Frowning slightly, the chief of staff shouted: "When the Bengbu position was attacked heavily by the devils, the positions on the two wings were also attacked by the devils. It's just that they failed to deal a fatal blow to the devils like the 720th regiment!"

Commander Yu shouted in a deep voice, "How about the casualties in the two wing positions?"

Sighing heavily, the chief of staff shouted: "Those two regiments still fought very bloody. Two-thirds of the whole regiment died in battle. The two regiment leaders were injured, but they still insisted on commanding the battle. Fortunately, the devils finally failed to get out of the battle." Break through our positions on both wings!"

After carefully looking at the map, Commander Yu shouted: "Chief of Staff, the devils on the two wings can't move, so where will the little devil of the Chief of Staff attack next?!"

Wei Wei groaned one by one, and the chief of staff shouted: "Military seat, I think it should still be Bengbu!"

His eyes froze, Commander Yu asked in a muffled voice, "Why is that?"

Pointing to Bengbu on the blueprint with his finger, the chief of staff shouted: "Although the devil's attack on the two wings was frustrated and lost a brigade of troops in Bengbu, once the devil's heavy artillery arrives on the battlefield, it will definitely focus on the attack. Aim at Bengbu!"

After a pause, the chief of staff continued: "Little Bengbu is a ferry, which is very beneficial for little devils to cross the Huaihe River here, and the other side happens to be Bengbu, so it will definitely become a key attack target for little devils!"

His eyebrows raised slightly, and Commander Yu shouted: "It seems that the next battle of the 720th Regiment will be more dangerous. Whether the Bengbu position can be defended is related to the safety of the entire Huaihe defense line! If Bengbu is lost, the entire Huaihe defense line will be in jeopardy! "

The chief of staff shouted: "Army seat! Next, we must strengthen the defense in the direction of Bengbu. I suggest sending a reinforcement battalion to reinforce it!"

With a wave of his hand, Commander Yu shouted: "No, one reinforced battalion is still too small, let alone an infantry regiment!"

The chief of staff shouted: "But our military department doesn't have enough troops now! We still have to beware of devils from other directions at any time!"

After a little hesitation, Commander Yu shouted: "If that's the case, then follow what the Chief of Staff says!"

The chief of staff replied: "Yes, Commander, do you want to transfer two mountain cannons? The heavy firepower of the 720 regiment is too little!"

Nodding his head, Commander Yu shouted, "Okay! Just do as you say!"

……

The starting position of the 24th Wing.

With a pale face, the captain of the regiment was observing the north bank of the Huaihe River with a telescope.

Through the vision of the periscope, the north bank of the Huaihe River is full of corpses of the First Brigade.

The captain of the regiment was so angry that he cursed repeatedly: "Baga! Baga! Didn't anyone from the first brigade come back alive?"

Sighing heavily, the devil's chief of staff shook his head and shouted: "No, all members of the First Brigade are broken!"

The regimental captain shouted: "Chief of Staff, why are the defenders on the other side so strong? Which unit of the China Army is this?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Report to your Excellency, Captain, according to the intelligence department, the one on the other side belongs to the 51th Regiment of the 720st Army!"

Wei Wei was stunned, and the captain called out: "51st Army? Yu Xuezhong's troops?"

The Chief of Staff exclaimed, "Exactly!"

After pondering for a while, the captain of the regiment shouted: "The Northeast Army's combat effectiveness has never been very good. Why has the Northeast Army on the other side changed a commander who can fight?"

The chief of staff shouted: "As far as I know, the 720th regiment is not the main force, and its weapons are not very good. As for why they can fight so well? I think there are several reasons!"

The regimental captain called out, "What's the reason?"

The chief of staff shouted: "I don't know if the regimental captain has noticed it! When the rubber boat of the first brigade reached the center of the river, it was hit head-on. This shows that this commander is proficient in the art of war, so he attacked halfway."

After a pause, the chief of staff continued to explain: "On the other hand, when the warriors of the first brigade rushed to the river bank, they were immediately bombarded by artillery fire, and the strike accuracy was very high. What does this mean? "

The captain asked: "What does it mean?"

The chief of staff responded and shouted: "It shows that the commander of the Chinese Army knows how to mark the shooting coordinates in advance, and the level of shelling should not be underestimated!"

The regimental captain called out, "What else?"

The chief of staff shouted: "The Chinese defenders on the opposite bank are different from the general Chinese army. They dare to fight in close combat, so they can match the bushido spirit of our imperial army in terms of momentum!"

The captain of the regiment shouted: "Souga! It seems that I still underestimate the Chinese army on the other side!"

At this time, a communication soldier ran over.

The captain of the Chaolian saluted, and the messenger shouted: "Report to Your Excellency, the captain of the regiment, the shells of the heavy artillery brigade have arrived in Xiaobengbu!"

There was a gleam of joy on his face, and the captain of the regiment shouted: "Yo Xi! The shells are finally here! Order the artillery brigade to prepare! One hour later, shell the Bengbu defenders!"

The signal soldier agreed, then turned around and delivered the order.

The chief of staff shouted: "Your Excellency, Captain, after the shelling, I suggest that the infantry's offensive tactics be adjusted!"

The regimental captain shouted: "How does the chief of staff think we should make adjustments?"

The chief of staff groaned and shouted: "I think the combination of frontal attack and flank outflanking can increase the probability of success of the attack!"

The regiment leader shouted: "But this is a river beach terrain, not a mountainous plain!"

The chief of staff shouted: "A reason, this time only one squadron will be sent to the front for a feint attack, and two squadrons will be the focus of the attack on the flank!"

The captain of the regiment shouted in a low voice: "Yoxi! Chief of Staff, your idea is very good, just do as you say!"

After a pause, the captain of the regiment raised his voice and shouted: "Second captain! I order your troops to divide into two groups and attack Bengbu! I will give you two hours to prepare! I hope you will not disappoint my expectations of you!"

The captain of the Chaolian paused heavily, and the voice of the second captain's voice carried a bit of madness unique to Japanese soldiers: "Hayi! Serve for the emperor!"
