Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

Chapter 147 The Battle Gets Bigger and Bigger

The Japanese army's attack on Wuling Mountain has lasted for a full ten days!

The 4th Division of the 435th Army, which was responsible for guarding Wuling Mountain, was under tremendous pressure!

Under the Japanese air-ground attack, casualties among the troops began to increase!

"What's the point of our air defense forces? Aren't they called air defense forces? How come they can't defend against this plane?"

Wang Jiancheng, the leader of the 458th Regiment at the forefront, spat out the dirt in his mouth and cursed.

Since the beginning of the war, the 458th Regiment has lost one third of its members! But the higher-ups refuse to send any reinforcements!

Now all the mobile members of the 458th Regiment have been deployed to the front line!

The 435th Division was equipped with an anti-aircraft artillery battalion. However, this battalion was unable to support the air defense mission of the entire division at the moment!

The self-designed and manufactured anti-aircraft guns performed very poorly after experiencing the baptism of actual combat, and mechanical failures were very frequent. On the second day of the war, the failure rate of the 8 anti-aircraft guns in the battalion was %.

The whole anti-aircraft artillery battalion was so angry that they were cursing! The technical personnel accompanying the team didn't dare to show their heads!

There are only two anti-aircraft guns left now, and they can still be used from time to time!

Although suffering from the bombing, the position is still firmly controlled by our own people!

"Commander! Commander! News from the Tyrannosaurus Rex team!" Gao Zhen ran in loudly!

"They bombed the enemy's airfield behind the enemy lines! Their planes won't be able to arrive anytime soon!"

"Really? Great! These guys are really capable! They are no wonder they were trained by the Führer himself!"

"What's the situation of the 411th Division? How is the battle going there?"

"They have already seized the Hancun and Yongcheng lines and compressed the enemy into a small area! But the enemy's counterattack is also very strong."

"The situation of the 421st Division is not optimistic. It was blocked by the enemy's 411th Division in Wangzhai Town and failed to connect with the th Division! But Wangzhai Town is still in our hands!

"How is Deputy Commander Liu?"

"The Japanese army has seized two small ferry crossings! Here, Xiazhuang and Xiaohuangzhuang!" He marked them out on the map.

"A brigade of the Japanese First Army has already carried out river crossing operations at these two ferry crossings and has exchanged fire with the 311th Division. So far, it has not broken through the 311th Division's defense line."

"Is there any movement on the Eastern Front?"

"Tang Boling's troops on the eastern front were completely defeated! The East China Front Army of the Japanese has occupied the Huaihai, Donghai and Luozhuang lines without any decent fighting!"

Gao Zhen said somewhat helplessly.

"Oh no!" Song Yunzhong's face immediately turned gloomy.

"The leader chose Wuling Mountain to block the enemy, but he didn't expect the friendly forces to be defeated so quickly! The original plan was that we would concentrate the forces of two armies to eat up one or two enemy divisions. Now it seems that this strategic concept is difficult!"

Song Yunzhong said with a gloomy face.

"Connect the Führer! I want to speak to the Führer!"

"Commander, this is not good!"

"Well, send a telegram to the Führer! Explain our current situation! I'm worried that the enemy's East China Front Army may bypass our rear! We are facing the risk of being surrounded! Especially Deputy Commander Liu's Third Army! It is very likely that the enemy will surround it in the Tushan and Dunxian areas! That place is not suitable for the movement of his mechanized troops!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, Xu Yan was in a basement of the National Shangjing University in Shangjing.

Ye Fan and others were with him. In front of him was a huge thing! A whole room full of flashing equipment cabinets!

"Prime Minister, this is the computer developed based on the ideas and drawings you provided! It uses more than 2,600 vacuum diodes! It can perform precise calculations! But it consumes a huge amount of electricity!"

"This...is not bad." Xu Yan didn't want to discourage them. He also knew that with the current industrial conditions, this might be the limit!

"We call him Huayan No. 1."

Huang Peixi, president of Shangjing University, said with a smile.

"Principal Huang, to be honest, this is far from what I imagined. Our foundation is too poor! University education and training has a long way to go! Principal Huang, you are an education expert in our country. I hope you can play an important role in our education!"

Xu Yan's eyes were passionate and sincere!

"Mr. President! We are happy to have such a far-sighted president like you! We will definitely redouble our efforts!" Huang Peixi said emotionally.

Suddenly an adjutant came over and handed a telegram to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan glanced at it calmly, with no expression on his face.

Still accompanied by Huang Peixi, he visited the various scientific research achievements of Shangjing University and had lunch in the cafeteria with the teachers and students of Shangjing University.

After lunch, we reluctantly said goodbye to the teachers and students who were going to Beijing.

When Xu Yan got into the car, he said to his adjutant in a deep voice, "Ask Lin Husan to come see me!"

The official residence of Xu Yan in Shangjing.

Lin Hu San stood there straight. When Xu Yan walked in, Lin Hu San's face was full of excitement.

He hadn't seen the head of state for a long time! After all, the situation was chaotic now, and as a military supervisor, he couldn't leave his troops without permission.

"Long story short, take a look at this first."

As he said this, he handed Song Yunzhong's telegram to Lin Husan.

"Can your troops be dispatched now? I need you to rush to the front line as soon as possible to assist the Third and Fourth Armies and change the current situation! Try to wipe out one or two divisions of the Japanese army! Control the front line to the current line. Of course, it would be even better if you can beat them back."

"My troops, Führer, are on standby! They can set off at any time!"

"Okay, I now appoint you as the commander of the 121th Army Group! The Army Group Headquarters will be expanded from your current Armored Cavalry Division Headquarters. I will also add the 100st Infantry Division and the th Infantry Division to your corps! Set off immediately!"

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

As the newly formed 11th Army moved southward, the scale of the Wulingshan Campaign expanded once again!
