With the troops, he walked towards the outside of Taierzhuang, and this time to evacuate Xuzhou, he needed to pass through the south gate of Taierzhuang.

When Chen Qingzhi arrived at the south gate, he saw two soldiers standing there on war horses, even if the two soldiers were sitting on the standing horses, their waists were still straight, and their faces were serious, but they looked around from time to time, but it was revealed that they seemed to be waiting for someone.

When Chen Qingzhi looked over, it happened that the two cavalrymen also looked over, and when they saw Chen Qingzhi, they were stunned for a moment, and then immediately drove the war horse over.

"The lowly Liu Lanzhai was ordered to wait here, and he has seen Brigade Commander Chen!" One of the cavalrymen led by him got off his horse, saluted in front of Chen Qingzhi, and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi saw clearly that this person was Liu Lanzhai, and was about to speak, when he heard Liu Lanzhai continue: "Brigade Commander Chen, the master ordered me to wait here, and let me follow you in the future!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi was immediately stunned.

The next moment, a deep feeling of emotion suddenly emerged in my heart.

Originally, Liu Lanzhai was eager for this person, and he thought that after the battle of Xuzhou was over, he would go to Chi Fengcheng to ask for it, but later the 31st Division suffered such heavy losses, and Chen Qingzhi was not good at opening his mouth to ask for people, so he had to give up in the end, but he didn't expect that when the two were about to separate, Chi Fengcheng would give himself such a big gift!

For a while, Chen Qingzhi didn't know what to say, and he wanted to thank him, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe at this time, Chi Fengcheng had already led his troops to leave!

As a last resort, Chen Qingzhi could only say: "Chief Chi treats me well, Qingzhi has nothing to repay, I only hope that there will be a goodbye day in the future, and Qingzhi will wait for him after all!" ”

Chen Qingzhi's actions are not fake, not to win people's hearts, Liu Lanzhai can see that Chen Qingzhi's actions are sincere, and the estrangement in his eyes has quietly dissipated.

At this time, I heard Chen Qingzhi say: "Since Chief Chi has sent you to me, Liu Lanzhai, are you willing to follow me to fight devils?" If you don't want me to force it, it is estimated that Chief Chi has not gone far now, and you can still catch up! ”

Hearing this, Liu Lanzhai shook his head and said: "I obey Chief Chi's orders, and besides, Chief Chen is also a famous man, I have also heard a little about what I did before, and I yearn for it, follow Chief Chen, you fight devils together, I am happy!" If Chief Chen doesn't dislike it, I, Liu Lanzhai, will be a member of the Independent Brigade in the future! ”

"Good! In that case, Liu Lanzhai, let's get into the list! Chen Qingzhi nodded and said lightly.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Liu Lanzhai immediately stood up and saluted, then turned over and entered the queue with a guard behind him.

After turning around and inspecting the team again, Chen Qingzhi nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Keep going!" ”

The troops set off again and slowly headed in the direction of Xuzhou, and on the second day after Chen Qingzhi left Taierzhuang with the independent brigade, Li Zongren personally commanded the troops and launched a comprehensive counteroffensive and encirclement of the Japanese troops around Taierzhuang.

On the evening of April 6

Our army sounded the horn of the offensive.

The left-wing corps, mainly composed of Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, and the right-wing corps, led by Tang Enbo and Feng Yizhong's 20th Corps, launched a large-scale counteroffensive in Taierzhuang and its vicinity.

When Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, which had been passively defending and being attacked, heard of a large-scale counteroffensive, all the officers and men were in high spirits, and after the order was issued, the soldiers immediately launched a counteroffensive with great interest, and the shouts of killing shook the earth in an instant.

Many troops began to fight each other with the Japanese army, surrounded the little devils with superior forces, and launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army.

Some time ago, because the encirclement had not been completed, it was not allowed to counterattack without authorization, but the result was that it had been a passive defense, and so many people were killed and injured but they could not fight back.

Now that it's finally time to vent out, the warriors attack like crazy.

In the Taierzhuang area, there were scenes of fighting everywhere, and more than 100,000 troops from both sides fought in this small town.

Street fighting, hand-to-hand fighting, encounters, ambush battles...... For a while, Taierzhuang once again fell into a situation of bullets and flesh flying.

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Taierzhuang, the entire Taierzhuang area has become a bloody meat grinder, since the beginning of the war, the two sides have invested countless soldiers here, and countless soldiers have fallen here, soaked the land with blood.

The earth that soaked the entire Taierzhuang was dark red, almost like a ghost!

Under the soldiers' unsacrificed battle, the Japanese army suffered a very big blow, they had never been so stubbornly resisted, such a mad attack, for a while it was a little difficult to resist.

Gradually, the Japanese defensive positions began to gradually collapse!

Finally, in the early morning of April 7, the little devils were finally unable to resist, and the front collapsed one after another, and began to flee in confusion.

At the same time, on the other side of Taierzhuang, in the direction of the 20th Army of Tang Enbo, the sound of guns and cannons was endless, and the Japanese army was unable to resist and could not be defeated.

At this time, the division commander Itagaki Seishiro, who had fled back to the main force of the Fifth Division, knew that they had been surrounded, and the battle situation in Taierzhuang had no chance, and the idea of continuing to resist began to waver.

And just when his heart was shaken, a piece of news came, but it made Itagaki Seishiro's idea of retreating suddenly firm!

After many days of fierce fighting, his Fifth Division was on the verge of being able to reach the end of its crossbows, its ammunition, food, and grass had been exhausted, and its gasoline locomotives had basically been blown up.

After receiving this news, Itagaki Seishiro knew that if he hesitated, his Fifth Division would probably fall into it, so he had no choice but to order the troops to retreat.

Under the retreat order of the division commander Seishiro Itagaki , the Fifth Division fled in confusion, and Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater, saw the rare opportunity and immediately ordered the troops to take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, and fiercely pursued the Japanese army for dozens of miles along the way, killing and wounding countless Japanese soldiers.

There were corpses of little devils on both sides of the road, countless equipment and equipment were everywhere, and the Fifth Division was also killed and wounded on the way to escape.

In the end, only the division commander Itagaki Seishiro was left with the remnants of the Fifth Division, less than 10,000 people desperately broke through the siege and fled back to Zaozhuang and Yixian.

After this battle, the Fifth Theater defeated and inflicted heavy losses on the 5th and 10th Divisions of the Japanese Army, annihilated more than 27,000 Japanese troops, and captured a large number of weapons, ammunition, grain, grass and equipment.

In the end, only the remnants of the 8th Brigade fled back to Yixian in disarray, as well as an infantry wing, engineer and cavalry wings that Itagaki Seishiro desperately brought out, and the rest were all killed.

So far, the Battle of Taierzhuang finally ended with the victory of the Fifth War Zone!
