Chapter 128: Attack on all fronts

The remnants of more than 300 Japanese troops began to retreat, Zhao Jianying hurriedly beckoned the road to pursue, this condescending pursuit was naturally much smoother, and these Japanese soldiers were now only concerned about fleeing for their lives, it was difficult to have a more powerful counterattack, and the pursuit of the Japanese army and left hundreds of corpses before they hurriedly burrowed into the forest and disappeared.

At this point, a brigade of the Japanese army ended up with the death of almost all the three battalions and Lu Hai's effective counterattack, eating more than 800 people, and the rest retreated in panic.

Lu Hai looked around the hillside full of corpses and said, "Send a report to the regiment commander, saying that the enemy on the flank has retreated, and ask for instructions on the next step."

After a while, Zeng Zesheng took the telegram and looked at it and ordered: "Inform the defenders at the front that after holding out for three hours, the whole army will retreat two miles to prepare for a counterattack"!

"Order Lu Hai's troops to quickly withdraw from the battlefield, return to the side of the Japanese army to report the battlefield situation, and cooperate with the brother troops to attack the Japanese army when necessary"!

Lu Hai, who received the order, immediately spoke: "In addition to the wounded soldiers, all the light clothes that can breathe are detoured"!

At this time, on the frontal battlefield, the war had reached an extremely fierce time, and the strength of a wing of the Japanese army continued to cover with poison gas and shells, and one had already rushed to the position of Zeng Zesheng's regiment, and Li Zuo immediately ordered: "Put on the bayonet and drive them down"!

At the same time, the position of Yang Hongyuan's regiment is also in an emergency, after all, it is indeed a lot of pressure to use the strength of a regiment to confront the strength of a wing of the Japanese army on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, and the ninth division, also known as the Kanazawa division, is a division of the Japanese army, and the elite degree is no less than the previous Itagaki division, under the large-scale attack of the Japanese army, almost everywhere the defense line is about to collapse.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Yunnan army and the Japanese army did not fight once or twice, under the fierce offensive of the Japanese army, no one took the initiative to withdraw from the position, but fought to the death with the soldiers who rushed up with the Japanese army, and when they were far away, they used to rush to the front, smashed with grenades, and rushed to the front, commanders at all levels ordered to fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese army with bayonets, and the Japanese army rushed to the position many times and was forced to go back, at this time the positions of the two regiments were already full of corpses, both the Japanese army and the Yunnan army were suffering unimaginable casualties, and at this time Qiu Bingchang's regiment was maneuvering towards the rear of the Japanese army at full speed.

Qiu Bingchang regiment, in the previous battle of Xuzhou was responsible for defending Taierzhuang, and in the later breakthrough, Qiu Bingchang regiment also retreated with Lu Han first, and now Yangxin Pai City blocking battle, Qiu Bingchang regiment was also stationed in Yangxin did not suffer a strong blow from the Japanese army, it can be said that Qiu Bingchang regiment is the only regiment of the 184th Division that retains its intact strength, whether it is weapons and equipment or the state of soldiers are excellent, and it is also Zhang Chong's helpless move to urgently transfer Qiu Bingchang regiment from Yangxin, after all, after the last large-scale attrition, Zhang Chong couldn't even draw out a battalion of reserves in his hand, so he could only risk the danger of Yangxin being broken through by the Japanese army and transfer Qiu Bingchang's regiment out to fight against the Japanese army.

According to the original plan, Yang Hongyuan's regiment, Zeng Zesheng's regiment, and Qiu Bingchang's regiment, which was responsible for frontal defense, were responsible for outflanking and attacking the rear of the Japanese army in a roundabout way to defuse the Japanese offensive.

However, the pressure on the two regiments is now great, the Japanese offensive is extremely fierce, and the morale is also unprecedentedly tenacious.

The battle lasted all night, and when it was about to dawn, another Japanese offensive was stopped, and the Japanese seemed to be tired, and finally stopped.

However, the Japanese army did not want to retreat, but retreated to the distance to bury the pot to cook, preparing for the next offensive, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army to rest, Yang Hongyuan regiment and Zeng Zesheng regiment finally got a chance to breathe, the soldiers of the two regiments took advantage of the last cover of the sky to leave some necessary hats, clothes and other objects on the mountain to make an illusion and then quietly retreated.

The two regiments withdrew to form a defensive line on the positions built in advance on the two hills on the left and right of Lianglidi, and Qiu Bingchang was only five miles away from the Japanese attacking force.

After receiving Qiu Bingchang's telegram, Zhang Chong immediately replied: "Order your regiment to suspend the offensive, and when the Japanese army and Zeng Zesheng's two regiments launch an offensive, take advantage of the favorable terrain to attack, causing a situation in which the Japanese army is ignoring the end of the attack"!

At this time, Lu Hai and the others also quietly hid in the mountains and forests on the left, observing the movements of the Japanese troops through binoculars, and about half an hour later, the Japanese troops had breakfast one after another, began to make encouraging speeches, and then began to march forward under the command of the commander.

Just as the Japanese infantry began to set off, all kinds of Japanese artillery groups began to bombard the positions of the two regiments again, but at this time, there was not a single soldier of the Yunnan army on the positions of the two regiments except for the dead.

The bombardment lasted for half an hour, and the Japanese infantry rushed up to the forward position again, only to find that the two regiments of the 60th Army, which had fought hard with them all night, had quietly withdrawn and did not know where to go, and the Japanese troops who rushed to the position waved their military flags and shouted and shouted, their opponents finally broke and fled, and Wuhan was advancing and victory was advancing, and then this arduous war could be ended.

The soldiers at the top of the mountain were still cheering, and the commander of the mountain, Inaba Saburo, also sent a telegram to report that the positions of the two regiments of Yoshizumi Ryosuke's 60th Army had been breached, and they had won.

Saburo Inaba then ordered the soldiers of the entire brigade to move on, followed by artillery. As everyone knows, just when they thought they were victorious, the encirclement of the 60th Army had already been formed, and just when these Japanese troops who were carried away by the victory set off, Zhang Chong resolutely ordered: "Qiu Bingchang's regiment is advancing at full speed and ready to attack at any time, and the 1085 and 1086 regiments will take the initiative to attack as one after Qiu Bingchang's regiment attacked"!

At the same time, Wan Baobang also ordered the artillery regiment of the whole army to aim according to the previously repaired positions, and only wait for the arrival of the Japanese army to give a heavy blow. Not only that, Wan Baobang also ordered: "Send a report to Lu Hai, report the movements of the Japanese artillery at any time, and cooperate with the frontal artillery attack at any time"!

Lu Hai, who received the order, immediately divided his remaining 150 men into three reinforced platoons, with Zhao Jianying and Chen Liang each leading a platoon, and divided into three roads to bypass the Japanese troops along the mountains and forests, and search the Japanese artillery positions.

Just when Lu Hai and they all dispersed, the two squadrons and three tanks of the Japanese army's front army finally came to the firepower of Zeng Zesheng's regiment, and at this time, Zeng Zesheng's regiment was left with more than 1,300 people after a night of fierce fighting, while Yang Hongyuan's regiment directly lost more than half of the remaining 1,000 people, and the two regiments together reached about the strength of a regiment.

At this time, the Japanese army already thought that they were victorious, just like the previous rout of the Chinese army, and now they only need to pursue all the way, so they swaggered along the way, but what they didn't know was that in the dense forest on the hillside in front, the muzzle of the black hole hole had locked on them.

"War defense artillery, locked"? Li Zuo said.

"Lock on to the target, ready to fire"! Said the artilleryman.

"Open fire"! Li Zuo ordered categorically.

"Yes"!

"Open fire"!

With the order of the artillerymen, the two gunners Mengdi pulled the hemp rope in their hands, only to hear two roars, and two armor-piercing shells slammed into the two Japanese tanks, one was directly penetrated, and the other was hit and fired.

"Put"!

Two more shells rushed out again and hit the last tank, which was directly blown into scrap metal in the violent explosion, and at the same time, Li Zuo gave the order violently: "Hit"!

For a while, the soldiers of the two regiments, who had already revised the coordinates, opened fire one after another, and at this moment, the mortars on the mountain also opened fire fiercely, and shells whistled and smashed towards the road where the two Japanese soldiers were walking.

Heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles together suppressed the dense rain of bullets towards the Japanese troops in front, and in just a few minutes, the Japanese army's forward troops suffered heavy losses and hurriedly retreated.

Seeing the retreat of the Japanese army, Li Zuo hurriedly ordered: "Quickly transfer!" ”

Sure enough, just after Li Zuo and the others retreated, the Japanese army's retaliatory artillery fire was all pressed up, followed by a large group of Japanese troops and seven or eight tanks.

After hearing the sound of Japanese artillery firing, Lu Hai identified the direction and ordered: "In the northeast direction, go at full speed"!

"Yes"!

Just when Lu Hai and the others were hurrying towards a Japanese artillery position, Chen Liang and the others had already touched the vicinity of a Japanese mountain artillery position, which was an artillery position composed of 30 mountain guns, and at this time they were fiercely bombarding the position of Zeng Zesheng's regiment. Chen Liang observed the terrain and then recorded it in a piece of paper, handed it to the communications soldier, and said: "Send this information to the brigade commander!"

"Yes"!

"Go around and look for the next position"!

"Yes"!

After receiving the coordinates, Wan Baobang also immediately ordered: "The heavy artillery battalion is ready to bombard according to the coordinates, and the mountain artillery and field artillery are on standby to prepare"!

"Yes"!

A moment later, a huge roar suddenly sounded on the heavy artillery position of the 60th Army, and shells whistled in the direction of the Japanese artillery position, and at the same time, Qiu Bingchang, the position of the 60th Army, also ordered: "The first battalion and the second battalion will take the initiative to attack head-on, and the third battalion and the fourth battalion will attack from the Japanese flank in two ways"!

"Yes"!

On the top of the mountain, a brigade of the Japanese army was attacking the positions of Yang Hongyuan's regiment and Zeng Zesheng's regiment, Zeng Zesheng ordered: "Order the whole regiment to open artillery and take the initiative to attack"!

Yang Hongyuan also ordered at this time: "Blow the trumpet, all the combatants of the whole regiment, all attack"! (To be continued.) )
