The Japanese counterattack on the 27th Army led to the rout of the left flank of the entire front, but fortunately, the entire 27th Army did not collapse on the whole line, the main division 46th Division withstood the Japanese army attacked from the left flank, and the rest of the reorganized 61st Division launched a small-scale counterattack against the Japanese army, it can be said that the counterattack launched by the Japanese army on the 27th has been effectively contained, but the impact is indeed irreparable, especially when the news reaches the ears of the supreme leader, there is no doubt that the impact of this rout will be greatly magnified.

In the military headquarters of the 27th Army on the front line in eastern Henan, the senior officers of the 27th Army received orders from the army commander Gui Yongqing, and all rushed to the temporary command post, and the 74th Army of friendly neighbors also sent people, and Qiu Qingquan was naturally among them.

"The commanders of the armies and others have no command and are cowardly in their actions, so that their morale is low and they are afraid to move forward. If you are perfunctory and negligent, you will never be lenient. Gui Yongqing read out the instructions of the supreme leader word by word, and like the officers below, Gui Yongqing also had a gloomy face, this letter from their leader, their principal's instructions, the words are so fierce, it is really rare.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the defeat and retreat of the 61st Division on the left flank is really a shame for our army, and we will never forgive the responsible officers, we have this instruction today, how dare we delay the fighters and ruin the battle situation, I really hope that all my classmates and colleagues, as well as all friendly troops will actively cooperate, from now on, we will attack the enemy's Tufeiyuan Division and regiments, leaving no stone unturned, and all departments must go all out to attack!"

Gui Yongqing took a hard picture of the telegram, although he has a black history such as the retreat of Nanjing, but he also knows the priorities, at this time he naturally has to set an example and work hard, not to mention, now is also the time to really work hard.

The officers below knew that the impact of this defeat was great, and in the previous battle, although the troops attacked fiercely, few unit commanders dared to use all their strength to fight seriously, and now the battle situation has changed abruptly, and the special instructions of the supreme leader have come down again.

"Don't be lenient," is not just talking.

The Japanese army's step-by-step approach and the supreme leader's instructions aroused the blood and courage of all the generals present, and I don't know which bold officer actually put forward the goal of completely annihilating the Tufeiyuan division and even capturing Tufeiyuan alive.

"Okay, imposing!" Gui Yongqing roared in a low voice.

"Sir, I have something to say!" Li Liangrong, commander of the 46th Division, stood up and took the initiative to speak.

"Please."

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are as many as four or five armies in the entire eastern Henan region, the First Army, the Seventy-fourth Army, the Seventy-first Army, the Thirty-fourth Army, the Sixty-fourth Army, etc., the leader's instructions, let me and others have to be ashamed, my 46th Division has just launched a counterattack against the Japanese army, according to my conscience, although our division is elite, but there are only four thousand veterans with combat experience, and there are more than 7,000 recruits. I also have the intention of retaining my strength, but now, I can't help it, I don't believe it, we have so many troops, even if we can't eat it, we can knock off his two big teeth! Li Liangrong said sharply.

"Our division, as an example for the whole army, does not leave a way back, regardless of losses, and fights to the death with the enemy!"

Although Gui Yongqing was a little distressed, he still nodded with satisfaction, the 46th Division is the main force of the army, and it is also Gui Yongqing's hard work for many years.

Time is pressing, the military situation is urgent, and the command of the troops at this time is also simple, except for the 61st Division on the left flank, the rest of the divisions are basically still in place, and it is also simple to counterattack, just attack the enemy in front of them, and the goal of each army has never changed, that is, the main force of the 14th Division with the 14th Division and the regimental headquarters as the core.

"How to fight the counteroffensive and who to fight, everyone knows that the 46th Division has contained the counterattack of the Japanese army, and now I order, from now on, all departments will attack the enemy in front of them, and the 10th artillery regiment and assault column attached to it should also cooperate with all departments to desperately attack the Japanese invaders, especially the Tufeiyuan Division and regimental headquarters in the area of Sanyiji, defeat them, take Sanyiji, and capture Tufeiyuan alive!"

"Capture the soil and fertilizer alive!" All the generals present shouted slogans in unison. 、

The same situation also happened in the headquarters of the 74th Army and the 64th Army. The 27th Army and the 74th Army, which were the main forces attacking the enemy, even transmitted the battle instruction to capture Tufeiyuan alive to all grassroots combat units, and even the squad leaders and soldiers could shout it in unison.

"Capture the soil and fertilizer alive!"

After the order to attack at all costs was issued, the officers of each department quickly returned to their respective units, reorganized their ranks, prepared to attack on all fronts, and a large amount of ammunition was directly distributed to the troops on the front line, and the previous combat habits, taking a regiment as an example, three infantry battalions, usually one battalion was the main attacker, one battalion covered and assisted, and the other battalion was used as a regimental reserve, and the current battle plan was that two battalions were all pressed up to fight, or even three battalions were all on it, leaving no reserves.

The 10th Artillery Regiment changed its previous style of "thrift" and a large number of shells were removed from the ammunition boxes and stacked in the ammunition storage piles in various places. ”

Qiu Qingquan returned to the assault column and transmitted the supreme leader's instructions and Gui Yongqing's order to attack on the whole line to all departments of the assault column, and also brought back specific combat orders and a large amount of ammunition, the entire assault column can use a large number of infantry weapons and ammunition, and only the battalion is prepared, Zhang Wei ordered all the ammunition to be distributed, not according to the base number of each gun and each soldier, but all over the base number, at least each soldier was given six or seven grenades and fifty rounds of ammunition to replenish, plus the original ammunition, There were less than 100 bullets in the bullet belt that everyone straddled diagonally, and the soldiers were naturally happy to have bullet supplies, although it was a little sunk, but it was better than no bullets at a critical time.

A large amount of supply ammunition frightened Li Changgui and the others who had just joined the preparation battalion, Li Changgui said in his heart: In the past, the old Northeast Army was not so wide, and the ammunition of the little devil's individual soldier was only one hundred and twenty rounds, and the damn Central Army was too rich.

All the tanks of the tank battalion were overhauled, the fuel was replenished, and all the troops were ready to be pressed up to fight, and the anti-artillery battalion and the remaining units were also ready for war.

The specific task of the assault column was to use chariots and infantry to cooperate with the 46th Division to attack the enemy's 14th Division Sanyiji and other places, and to split the chariot part to cooperate with the 74th Army to besiege the 14th Division from other directions.

According to the specific order, Qiu Qingquan split up about two platoons of chariots to reinforce the 74th Army, and left one and a half companies of chariots in the hands of the assault column himself, and together with the infantry of the reserve battalion, he cooperated with the 46th Division to attack in the direction of Sanyiji.

The battle instructions are still the same

"Take down the Sanyi Collection and capture the soil and fertilizer alive!"
