Chapter 219: Victory is imminent, the final counterattack!

At the same time as the fierce battle of Taierzhuang was in full swing, the forward troops of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army also arrived in the area of Nianzhuang with an astonishing degree.

happened to encounter head-on with the vanguard of the 119th Division of Liu Ziliang, who was ordered to move to the defense of Nianzhuang.

At this time, Nianzhuang was only a small village in the east of Xuzhou, just because the Longhai Railway and the Longhai Highway ran through its entire territory. After the loss of Lianyungang, it became the last and most important line of defense to block the westward advance of the Japanese 114th Division into Xuzhou!

The Japanese forward unit was the 114th Cavalry Wing directly under the 114th Division, with a total of more than 1,000 people and more than 1,000 horses.

And China. The vanguard of the army is the 3rd battalion of the 119th Division, which is worth more than 500 people.

If it had been encountered in the wilderness, the battle would not have been fought.

Perhaps these more than 500 people did not have time to deploy defenses, and they were scattered and defeated by the 114th Wing of the Japanese Cavalry.

Luckily, it's in this village.

Major Wang Zhizhong, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division, immediately ordered the troops to rely on the houses and buildings in the village as shelters and set up guns to block the Japanese troops.

"Da Da Da!"

"Tubu! ——”

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

Dense gunfire suddenly resounded throughout the village.

The Devil's Vanguard is all cavalry, with large targets, and it is extremely difficult to dodge maneuvers in a narrow village with complex terrain.

Therefore, Dengshi was caught off guard by the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division.

A dense rain of bullets swept head-on, and more than 30 devil cavalry were immediately shot off their horses.

The horses under the crotch were also shot one after another.

However, the vitality of the war horse is obviously more tenacious than that of the devil cavalry, and after being shot, it did not die immediately.

Instead, they spread their hooves and scurried around frantically in the screams of pain.

So much so that the rest of the devil cavalry suddenly made a mess.

Plus not sure how many Chinese there are in the village. The soldiers, frightened, could only retreat first.

Wang Zhizhong, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division, immediately commanded the troops to pursue forward, and after driving the devil cavalry out of the village, Major Wang Zhizhong ordered the troops to stop the pursuit, and at the same time asked his subordinates to occupy as many courtyards as possible and build fortifications on the spot.

At the same time, quickly send someone to report the situation and ask for support!

Tian Wenqi, commander of the 119th Division, was taken aback when he learned that the vanguard of the Japanese army had arrived at Nianzhuang, and immediately led the main force of the division to accelerate forward.

At this time, the follow-up unit of an infantry wing of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army also rushed to Nianzhuang.

The devil officer who led the team was Major General Obaof, the brigade commander of the 114th Division and the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

This old devil has a brief understanding of the situation.

Immediately order the 150th Infantry Wing under his command to attack from the front, so as to open the road to attack Xuzhou as soon as possible!

The 114th Cavalry Wing outflanked from both flanks, launching an attack while also ensuring the safety of the attacking troops' flanks.

Liu Ziliang's 68th Army had two divisions, namely the 119th Division and the 143rd Division.

Among them, the commander of the 143rd Division was concurrently served by General Liu Ziliang himself.

At this time, the 119th Division, in addition to a number of logistics units still on the way from Xuzhou, the main field troops of the division's two brigades and four regiments had basically all rushed to Nianzhuang.

The two sides were on the same footing, like Mars colliding with the earth, and launched a fierce firefight.

Due to the fact that the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division seized the favorable terrain in advance, the defensive line was laid out. In addition, the devil's strength is not superior, and there is no heavy firepower such as field artillery.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the Japanese attacking troops suffered a small loss.

However, as other units of the 114th Division continued to arrive, especially the 114th Division's directly subordinate tank and combat vehicle brigades, as well as the 114th Field Artillery Wing arrived one after another and joined the battlefield, the battle began to become more fierce.

Fortunately, General Liu Ziliang personally led the 143rd Division and other troops directly under the military headquarters to arrive at the Nian Zhuang battlefield one after another.

The number of troops committed by both sides began to climb rapidly, and the scale of the fighting continued to grow.

It gradually spread from the mill village to several surrounding villages, mountains, rivers and other important terrain, and has become the main battlefield of the confrontation between the enemy and us, and an important position repeatedly contested.

Especially the mill, because of its important geographical location, it will become the focus of contention between the enemy and us.

Both sides are fighting desperately, and they will not retreat!

Under the bombardment of the 114th Wing of the Japanese Field Artillery, together with the tank and combat vehicle brigades, almost the entire mill was razed to the ground by artillery fire.

There is hardly a complete residential building to be found, only a half-collapsed adobe mud wall.

Mill Zhuang has become a large meat grinder, constantly strangling the living forces of both the enemy and the enemy!

Because the Japanese army has a strategic weapon such as tanks and combat vehicles, they can rampage on the battlefield without any scruples.

Because the defenders lacked strategic weapons such as anti-tank guns, they had no choice but to send death squads carrying explosives bags to blow up the devil's tanks.

In addition, the artillery firepower of the devils, as well as the marksmanship and combat quality of the soldiers, are stronger than those of the 68th Army.

Therefore, as the battle continued, the tide of the battle began to tilt little by little towards the unfavorable side of the 68th Army.

…………

Xuzhou City.

In order to replicate Jinling City, the miracle of the surprise attack on the garrison headquarters.

A group of disguised devil agents, carrying submachine guns, pistols and other weapons, walked through the streets and alleys in the night, quietly approaching the Fifth Theater Command.

Finally stopped in an alley not far from the headquarters.

Not long after, a ghost agent in charge of surveillance appeared sneakily at the entrance of the alley.

The leader of the agent beckoned, and the agent immediately ran over cautiously and whispered to the leader: "Sir, it seems that most of the guards of the Chinese army have been transferred, and it is estimated that they should be going to resist the attack of the 114th Division of the Imperial Army!"

Now the headquarters of the Chinese army is extremely empty, and the defenders are less than a company! ”

"Yo Si! This is truly a rare opportunity! The leader of the devil agent flashed with murderous intent in his eyes, and said proudly: "Remember, you must fight quickly later!"

It is better to capture alive or kill the commander of the Fifth Theater of the Chinese Army, Li Delin, and control their radio station! ”

"Hello!"

A group of devil agents bowed their heads one after another, and immediately under the guidance of the leader wearing the felt hat, they walked down the alley and quickly approached the Fifth Theater Command.

The night is surprisingly quiet!

It made a group of devil agents feel a little uneasy.

However, seeing that the Fifth Theater Command was in front of him, for the sake of that immortal battle exploit, the excitement in the heart of the devil leader overcame the uneasiness, and as soon as his heart was crossed, he gave the order to attack.

"Warriors of the Empire, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Rush in with me and capture alive Li Delin, the commander of the Fifth Theater of the China Army!"

"Kill the chicken!"

"Kill the chicken and give it! ——”

When the order was issued, more than 50 devil agents dressed in black went out of the alley one after another and launched a surprise attack on the compound of the Fifth War Zone Commander's Headquarters!

"Da Da Da!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

A burst of gunfire rang out, and the two guards standing guard at the gate immediately fell in response.

The leader of the devil agents rushed over to take a look, and found that it was actually two dummies that had fallen, and his face suddenly changed: "Not good!" We've got it! ”

After saying that, the leader of the devil agents wanted to turn around and lead his troops away.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, several flares suddenly dragged the eye-catching tail flame into the air.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang! ——”

The flares exploded in mid-air, like brilliant fireworks, illuminating half of the sky as if it were day.

Stunned, a group of devil agents saw that on the roofs of the surrounding houses and on the courtyard wall of the Fifth Theater Headquarters, at some point, a very light and heavy machine gun had already been erected.

By this time, these devil agents still didn't understand what was going on.

"Da Da Da!"

"Da Da Da! ——”

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang! ——”

The next moment, the machine gun spewed out tongues of fire, and suddenly shot a large number of dense hot bullets, pouring down on the devil agents who had no danger to hide from the mouth of the headquarters.

"Uhh

"Ahhh ——”

Before these devil agents could resist, they were beaten into a hornet's nest and fell convulsive in a pool of blood.

…………

The picture pulls back to Taierzhuang.

Under the onslaught of the 27th Division and the 30th Division at any cost, the pressure on the Devil's garrison suddenly doubled.

In order to ensure the integrity of the rear line and ensure their absolute safety, the two old devils, Ryosuke Tsuiya and Kenji Dohihara, were shocked, and immediately transferred an infantry wing from the forward troops to reinforce the defensive positions behind the joint headquarters.

At the same time, with the transfer of an infantry wing by the Japanese army, the pressure on the Tiger Regiment and the 31st Division was suddenly reduced a lot.

After paying huge casualties, the death squads of the two departments finally managed to break through to the front line of the devils and started a brutal white-knuckle battle with the devils.

In the city of Taierzhuang, the headquarters of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

"Ringing ringing!"

"Bell bell bell! ——”

Deputy Regiment Commander Wang Dali picked up the phone violently, and after a while, he hung up the phone and said to Yang Jing with a happy face: "Tuanza, the chief of staff is calling, at present, the offensive troops of our regiment, with the assistance of the 31st Division, have successively broken through the forward positions of the Japanese army!"

Fight with the devil! ”

Yang Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately slapped the table excitedly, and said loudly: "It's really good, pass on my order, the baggage battalion, the artillery battalion, the guard company, the reconnaissance company, the cavalry company, and the special operations brigade, and all the troops, immediately rush up to me!"

We need to deal with the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible! Defeat the Japanese Isoya Division and the Tohihara Division and end this battle! ”

After speaking, Yang Jing looked at the signal soldiers on duty on the side and ordered: "Call General Sun Fanglu immediately, ask him to transfer the 30th Division back, and together with our army, go all out to attack the forward position of the devil!"

In addition, tell him that there will be a gap for the recalcitrant enemy of the Japanese command to break through! ”

"Yes!"

In the headquarters, everyone responded one after another.

The signal soldier immediately tapped the radio and began to send electricity to the 2nd Army.

General Sun Fanglu received Yang Jing's telegram order, although he was a little unclear, but Yang Jing's magical command had already convinced him deeply.

So without thinking too much, he immediately followed Yang Jing's instructions.

While the 30th Division was transferred out to attack the back of the devil's forward position, the 27th Division was ordered to make a gap in the direction of Tengxian County to the recalcitrant devils in the command.

In the city of Taierzhuang.

With Yang Jing's order issued, it didn't take long for the guard company, reconnaissance company, cavalry company and other departments to assemble one after another!

Yang Jing asked Wang Dali to continue to sit in the regiment headquarters.

And he personally led the guard company and the cavalry company, and took the lead in riding out of the city, rushing towards the battlefield with flames and explosions.

The reconnaissance company, the baggage battalion, and the special operations brigade lagged behind them because they did not have war horses to travel.

Outside the city, the artillery battalion position of the Tiger Ben Regiment.

Rake Ear also took out his pistol, and gave an awe-inspiring order to the soldiers of the artillery battalion: "Brothers, the time for a decisive battle has come!" Pick up the weapons in your hands and let the little devils and friendly soldiers see that our artillery can not only fight artillery, but also fight bayonets! ”

Soon, the soldiers of the artillery battalion put down their guns and shells in favor of rifles, bayonets, pistols and other weapons and equipment that they rarely used.

"Brothers, rush!"

When they were ready, the rake ears took the lead and with a wave of his hand, he led them towards the front line of the devils.

For a time, the whole Tiger Ben Regiment was dispatched, and the entire north of Taierzhuang was full of murderous sounds, and fires were everywhere!

The scales of victory, at this moment, began to tilt towards the side of the Tiger Bentuan.

…………

The forward positions of the Japanese army, more and more of China. The soldiers swarmed in, holding Sen Han's bayonets, and launched a bloody battle with the stubborn devil soldiers.

Although the officers and men of the 30th Division, the 31st Division, and the Tiger Regiment were slightly inferior to the Japanese in terms of white-knuckle fighting.

But the total strength of these three divisions exceeded 20,000, and with the command of the 14th Division, the 59th Infantry Wing was transferred back by Kenji Dohihara.

The Japanese troops in the forward positions were already less than 5,000.

Moreover, most of these devils were injured under the bombardment before the artillery camp.

At this time, each devil will face at least three, if not more, Chinese soldiers at the same time.

In particular, the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment, under the influence of Yang Jing, have practiced a set of sinister skills that are proficient and have no eyes for giving birth.

If they can solve it with a gun, they will never use a knife with the little devils.

Submachine guns, as well as pistols, are simply artifacts in close combat.

The Tiger Regiment is fully equipped, unlike other units, which are equipped with pistols only if they are at least officers above the company platoon level.

The chief and deputy squad leaders of each squad, as well as the guards company, reconnaissance company, cavalry company, and soldiers of the artillery battalion, were almost all manned.

At this time, these guys didn't rush up to fight with the little devils.

Instead, when some friendly fighters were pestering the little devils, they saw the opportunity and hid behind their backs to shoot cold shots.

A corner of the battlefield.

A devil soldier Cao, after picking up the bayonet in the hand of the Northwest Army soldier in front of him, was preparing to mend the knife.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dull gunshot suddenly sounded from his side, and then the little devil felt a sharp pain in his left thigh, and he was almost about to fall to the ground.

He turned around angrily and saw three or four meters away, a black hole in the muzzle of a gun, billowing up gunsmoke.

"Yaga! You drip ......"

Before the words of the devil army Cao fell, he was interrupted by a dull gunshot.

Then, he fell straight down.

The soldier of the Tiger Regiment who shot him, through the angry expression of the devil army Cao before he died, probably guessed that he was scolding himself for being shameless and not speaking of the spirit of bushido.

However, he was not ashamed, but proud!

The same example is constantly being played out on the fierce battlefield, and many devils are fighting fiercely with the enemy in front of them.

As a result, he was hit by a bullet that came from nowhere.

The deceased, fell directly.

The wounded were seized by the soldiers of our army who were fighting with them and deceived themselves.

In the end, he couldn't escape the fate of death.

Under the psychological shadow of this panic, on the battlefield, the morale of the devil soldiers was extremely low for a while.

lest I be shot coldly.

As a result, their attacks also began to become timid, soft, and no longer as fierce and murderous as before.

On the contrary, the 30th Division, the 31st Division, and the soldiers of the Tiger Regiment are becoming more and more courageous!
