Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 1464, the pattern is a bit small

Eat and drink enough. Keep fighting.

Horse meat is still being stewed in the back. The national army in front is already eager to try.

As the artillery fire advanced, it was getting closer and closer to Mengcheng.

Mengcheng has never been a strategic location. However, as the two sides fought fiercely, it began to attract attention from all parties.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

Continue to bomb the Japanese artillery positions.

The Japanese invaders' forward defense line was deployed very scientifically.

Each point can be supported by 75mm mountain guns.

Don't think that the 75mm mountain gun is less powerful. For unprotected infantry, it's a nightmare.

The national army has no tanks. Infantry charging on foot can easily be killed in large areas by artillery fire. Therefore, the national army's counterattacks often result in heavy casualties.

Even the Seventh Army of the Guangxi Faction, known as the Seventh Army of Steel, suffered heavy casualties.

If the national army's defensive capability is barely 20, its offensive capability may only be in single digits.

Every time we attack, we play very hard.

Kunlun Pass…

Wanjialing…

Matsuyama…

This is true.

The Changde Defense Battle and the Hengyang Defense Battle were both defensive battles and very difficult.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

Indiscriminate bombing in turn. Finally destroyed another artillery position of the Japanese invaders.

Without the threat of Japanese artillery, the infantry can move forward with confidence.

then…

Keep attacking!

Keep pushing!

Ten kilometers!

Nine kilometers!

Eight kilometers!

Getting closer to Montreal.

The Japanese invaders' tactics finally changed.

Start a counterattack.

Very short attack.

A small group of troops came out to make a sneak attack. aggressive.

Each one seems to be a devil emerging from the soil, fearless of death.

Perhaps this way of dying is more dignified?

"Bang bang bang..."

"Da da da..."

The national troops on the front line opened fire in unison.

Beat the Japanese invaders to death one after another in front.

Most soldiers in the national army also think this is a good thing.

This way you don’t have to be a digger.

You can loot loot directly from the Japanese invaders.

The bullet boxes, lunch boxes, and leather boots carried by the Japanese invaders were all needed by the soldiers.

Weapons and ammunition can also be gathered together. For use by other troops.

Mainly used by Sichuan Army troops.

Under the jurisdiction of the Fifth War Zone, the Sichuan Army's equipment is really poor.

Because there are so many weapons that are lacking, logistics cannot replenish them at all and can only rely on seizures.

The Japanese invaders’ Type 38 rifles and Type 44 rifles were both good guns. Much better than the old sleeves equipped by the Sichuan Army.

The equipment Zhang Yong had previously supplemented was a drop in the bucket and could not reach the hands of the general troops of the Sichuan Army.

Under the Fifth War Zone, the 22nd Army commanded by Sun Zhen is mainly composed of the Sichuan Army. Among them, Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division was included.

"Collect them all."

"Send it back to the theater commander's headquarters."

Feng Zhi'an ordered.

The 77th Army is equipped with Mosin Nagants.

The performance of the Mosin Nagant is essentially the same as that of the Sanba Daigai. It is more powerful, so there is no need to change the equipment.

All 6.5 mm caliber rifles should be given to the Sichuan Army!

Suddenly, a communications soldier came in a hurry.

"Report!"

"What's up?"

"Sir Commissioner, Commander-in-Chief Liao is calling to see you."

"Take it."

Zhang Yong nodded.

Liao Lei is anxious?

Are you worried that you will take away his credit?

Actually asking the communications troops to take the call to the front line? It seems unnecessary...

I said it myself, just to assist...

"Commissioner, the call is connected."

"Give me."

Zhang Yong took the microphone.

Talk lazily.

"Commander Liao..."

"Commissioner Zhang, I heard that you are making rapid progress!"

"It's okay!"

Zhang Yong is not overly modest either.

Indeed, we are getting closer to Montreal. Less than ten kilometers away.

As long as we continue to fight, it is inevitable to capture Mengcheng. Of course, the final battle will become increasingly fierce.

The Japanese invaders were not incompetent either. I will definitely find a way to fight back.

In the Central Plains battlefield, the Japanese invaders still had six divisions. There are also several independent mixed brigades. They may reinforce Mengcheng at any time.

Therefore, the battle in Mengcheng is not independent. A single move affects the whole body.

As he gets closer to Mengcheng, the actions of the Japanese invaders will also unfold. There will be various responses.

"Commissioner Zhang, do you know about Ogisu Ribing?"

"I've heard of it. Commander of the Thirteenth Japanese Division. Is it rushing towards Mengcheng?"

"It's not Mengcheng. It's Suxian. The Thirteenth Japanese Division is rushing towards Suxian."

"oh?"

Zhang Yong immediately checked the map of Kongzhi Department. No abnormalities were found.

There is no special display on the empty finger map. No Japanese artillery markings are shown. There are no artillery guns above 75mm.

However, the caliber of the Japanese 92 infantry gun was 70 mm, which was just outside the standard.

If the Japanese 13th Division carried the 92nd Infantry Artillery to attack Su County over a long distance, it would not be completely impossible.

"Commander Liao, which troops are currently stationed in Su County?"

"It's the 47th Division."

"oh."

Zhang Yong was thoughtful.

This number seems familiar.

Oh, I remembered it. The previous teacher was Sun Dingyuan.

There had been rebellions. I even went to arrest Sun Dingyuan, but I didn't expect that the serial number was still there.

Moreover, it actually appeared on the Xuzhou battlefield. He is still responsible for garrisoning such an important place as Su County.

I feel like this 47th Division is not that good. Can you keep your accommodation county?

"The theater commander has ordered Roach's 95th Division to reinforce Su County. There should be no problem."

"Roach? Okay."

Zhang Yong agreed. The name and number are also somewhat familiar.

Why?

The future Master Zhao Zilong.

During the battle at Tashan, he ran away in despair. From now on, the reputation is no longer there.

But in the Anti-Japanese War, the 95th Division performed well.

The 47th Division may not be reliable. But now that Roach's 95th Division is here, it should be able to defend the county.

As long as you stay in the county, Xuzhou will be safe for the time being.

Now, Zhang Yong's eyes are not just on Mengcheng. There is also the Japanese heavy artillery regiment.

The air command map showed that a Japanese heavy artillery regiment with thirty-six 105mm howitzers was moving towards Mengcheng.

It is inferred that it is a heavy artillery regiment belonging to the 6th Division. All howitzers. Not a heavy cannon.

Compared with heavy cannons, howitzers have a slightly shorter range and a more curved trajectory. But the explosion was more powerful.

When used in plain areas, the 105mm howitzer is more destructive.

Of course we cannot allow the Japanese heavy artillery to arrive.

It must be killed halfway.

Fortunately, Liao Lei's phone call hasn't been hung up yet.

"Commander Liao, I have something to ask. I don't know who to ask..."

"Commissioner Zhang, please tell me."

"I would like to mobilize a cavalry regiment, or a cavalry brigade..."

"He Zhuguo's Second Cavalry Army?"

"One brigade is enough. About two to three thousand people."

"Then you should contact He Zhuguo directly. His troops are near Xuzhou."

"I'd better ask the two commanders first."

"No need, Commissioner Zhang. You are the inspector. If necessary, you can just mobilize the troops directly."

"May I?"

"Of course."

Liao Lei answered affirmatively.

Zhang Yong:…

This seems a bit out of line.

If you follow the instructions, it shouldn't work.

However, if we only mobilize He Zhuguo's Second Cavalry Army, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

The Second Cavalry Army is a cavalry force, a mobile force. Originally, it was moved wherever needed. If you need it, just use it.

As long as the Japanese heavy artillery regiment can be eliminated, there is no problem in mobilizing the Second Cavalry Army.

"Okay, I'll contact Commander He."

"The two officers should be back soon. I look forward to news of your victory."

"good."

Ended the call with Liao Lei.

Then he immediately called the communications staff and contacted He Zhuguo. No phone. Only telegram can be used.

"Commissioner, are you going to other battlefields?" Feng Zhi'an asked.

"The Japanese heavy artillery regiment wants to enter the battlefield, so I have to deal with them first." Zhang Yong replied in a deep voice.

"Where? Where are the Japanese heavy artillery?" Feng Zhian suddenly became nervous.

It was so cool when the Chinese army used rocket launchers to blow up the Japanese invaders. Push hard all the way.

However, once the Japanese heavy artillery enters the battlefield, the situation may be reversed.

In the previous battle, the Japanese invaders only deployed 75mm mountain artillery, and it was already very difficult for the national army to cope with it.

What's more, those heavy artillery pieces above 100 mm? Very fatal.

"It's still far from the battlefield. But I'm going to dispatch the cavalry and make a long-range surprise attack to kill them."

"Okay. You go ahead! I'm in charge here!"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"We'll wait for Commander He's reply."

"The Second Cavalry Army happens to have no combat missions at the moment. The entire army can be dispatched."

"The whole army is dispatched?"

Zhang Yong's mind moved.

It seems that my layout is a bit small.

Actually I only want one group or one brigade.

There are only over 500 people in a cavalry regiment. A brigade is more than a thousand people.

The general organization is similar to that of the Japanese invaders' cavalry regiment. The total number of the two cavalry armies was actually less than 10,000.

When you have time, point to the map. Important targets within a radius of more than 600 kilometers can be discovered.

These targets were originally intended to guide the aircraft. However, cavalry can also be used!

Cavalry is not as fast as airplanes. But it also has its own strengths.

For example, traveling long distances.

As long as the cavalry is equipped with 81mm mortars, it can even attack fortresses.

It can be very convenient to attack the Japanese aggressors' logistics supply points, ammunition warehouses, headquarters, or heavy artillery.

Oh, a cavalry army may be a bit large in number, and food supply is a bit difficult.

But a cavalry brigade would be no problem.

"Report! Commander He has called back. Please issue combat orders."

"Return the call. Have the Second Cavalry Army go south to Suxian County immediately. Stay on standby in the area between Suxian County and Mengcheng."

"yes."

The staff officer drafted the telegram.

Issued with Zhang Yong's signature.

Then…

Just wait.

It will take a day to ride the Second Army southward.

Just in time, we can advance another five kilometers to Mengcheng in one day.

Or more.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

I didn’t say anything, just continue to clear the ground with rockets.

Not only must they conquer Mengcheng, but they must also severely curb the arrogance of the Japanese invaders.

Damn, don't think you are the only ones with large-caliber artillery. We have that too. The two sides competed to see who could have the last laugh.

Keep pushing.

Getting closer to Montreal.

"Baga!"

"Damn Zhang Yong!"

"There it is again!"

In Mengcheng, Hisao Tani finally became a little manic.

The intelligence department finally learned that Zhang Yong was here. That's Zhang Yong. That inspector general.

The road between enemies is narrow.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

This Zhang Yong has a **** feud with the Sixth Division.

In the Battle of Jinling, the Sixth Division suffered heavy losses. The instigator was Zhang Yong.

Hearing Zhang Yong's name, Hisao Tani could no longer calm down.

After the mania, comes the rage again.

A fierce look in his eyes.

Maybe this is a good opportunity?

As long as Zhang Yong is surrounded, can he be killed?

If this is the case, some concessions must be made to attract Zhang Yong to go south.

Give Mengcheng to the opponent. Then counterattack.

Now, the Japanese army is passive in occupying Mengcheng.

However, if Mengcheng is handed over to the Chinese, it will be the Chinese's turn to be passive.

It is impossible for the Chinese to give up Mengcheng. Will definitely stick to it.

At that time, the initiative would be in the hands of the Japanese army. More strategies can be adopted…

"Report!"

Suddenly, a communications staff officer arrived. Hand a telegram to the chief of staff.

After reading it, the chief of staff looked relaxed.

"Your Excellency, the dispatch army headquarters has instructed us to withdraw from Mengcheng at the appropriate time..."

"quit?"

"Yes."

The chief of staff handed the telegram to Hisao Tani.

Hisao Tani had a slight smile on his face after reading it. Understand that your plan has been approved.

But it was slightly modified above. Blooming from the center becomes luring the enemy deeper. To prevent the Sixth Division from falling into danger.

It must be admitted that this is Shunroku Hata's love for the Sixth Division. The Sixth Division was not allowed to take risks.

Abandon Mengcheng and lure the enemy deeper into the city to form a larger encirclement.

Shunroku Hata is weaving a larger web.

"Yo Xi..."

"Order the troops to move in in an orderly manner. Exit Mengcheng before noon tomorrow."

"Tie!"

The chief of staff immediately went to make arrangements.

Soon, orders were issued layer by layer. The Japanese invaders began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Zhang Yong didn't feel anything at all. However, the national troops in other directions were keenly aware of it.

"Report!"

"What's up?"

"Sir Commissioner, Commander-in-Chief Liao is calling you."

"good."

Zhang Yong came to answer the phone.

Too lazy to think about anything. He only has Mengcheng in his eyes.

"Commander Liao..."

"Commissioner Zhang, the Japanese invaders have begun to shrink their troops."

"What?"

"Commissioner Zhang, I said that the Japanese invaders have begun to retreat. They may abandon Mengcheng."

"give up?"

Zhang Yong frowned.

View the map of the Air Finger Department. No abnormality was found!

It seems that the Japanese mountain artillery has not been moved...

etc. There is movement.

The Japanese mountain artillery mark is moving towards Bengbu.

Huh?

What are the Japanese invaders going to do?

Do we really want to withdraw from Montreal? Withdraw to Bengbu?

That’s not right!

Why did you retreat?

Is the Bushido spirit gone? Fight to the death?

Accident…

real…

Unexpectedly, the Japanese invaders would retreat.

Subconsciously, I felt that something was not quite right.

Was there any conspiracy behind the Japanese aggressors' withdrawal from Mengcheng? Otherwise, how could it be possible...

However, after thinking for a moment, I couldn't figure it out.

Forget it, too lazy to think about it. Using my brain is really not my specialty.

It would be fine if the Japanese invaders took the initiative to withdraw from Mengcheng. My mission is completed. Successfully recaptured Mengcheng.

The next step is to lead the Second Cavalry Army to destroy the Japanese heavy artillery.

Apparently, Hisao Tani wanted to join his heavy artillery regiment after withdrawing from Mengcheng.

hehe. That will definitely not go as he wishes!

He must be thrown away in Mengcheng and the heavy artillery regiment.

This is called double happiness.

"Keep fighting!"

"Continue the attack!"

Clear your mind. Turn around and order.

As a result, as the fighting continued, it was discovered that the Japanese invaders began to retreat.

The radar map shows that a large number of red dots are moving rapidly to the southeast.

Oh, the Japanese invaders are really going to abandon Mengcheng.

Okay, let’s chase it!

Give an order.

The whole army is in pursuit!

The Japanese invaders retreated quickly. Never be wary.

This made Zhang Yong feel more and more wrong. The Japanese invaders definitely have a big conspiracy waiting behind them.

but…

Never mind him!

Let’s take back Mengcheng first.

Three hours later, Zhang Yong successfully entered Mengcheng.

Recover Mengcheng!
