Chapter 416: The Time Has Come!
The next day, around 5 a.m
As soon as the day dawned, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front had already taken off all the fighters, and more than 60 fighters of an aviation regiment flew towards the Taierzhuang area.
After the Japanese fighters took off, according to their course, the Fifth Theater also immediately determined that the Japanese army's target was definitely Taierzhuang, so it immediately took off all the remaining fighters in the Fifth Theater and prepared to go to Taierzhuang to meet the Japanese army.
Twenty-seven fighters, under the command of the Fifth War Zone, flew towards Taierzhuang.
Although the 27 fighters are a lot less than the Japanese fighters, after the sortie, they can bring some harassment to the Japanese army, entangle the little devils' fighters, and make them unable to bomb Taierzhuang with all their might!
Today is the day of the decisive battle of Taierzhuang, and Li Zongren will never allow any accidents to disturb!
He wants to ensure the stability of the battle situation in Taierzhuang and ensure that all the little devils in the village can be annihilated smoothly!
Although the Japanese army has many fighters, the Fifth Theater is not vegetarian!
Before the fighter plane took off, Li Zongren had already made an order: "The 27 fighters that took off today can not come back, but we must ensure the stability of the battle in Taierzhuang, and we must ensure that our army can smoothly annihilate the Japanese army!" ”
The pilots who dispatched the mission also responded awe-inspiring when they heard Li Zongren's words, and they flew to Taierzhuang with a decision to see death as home.
Around 6 a.m
The Japanese fighters successfully arrived over Taierzhuang, and then bombed the outer defenders, and after getting the arrival of the fighters, the Japanese army led by Itagaki Seishiro in Taierzhuang, under his leadership, gathered all the forces to select the north gate of Taierzhuang, stormed the defenders of the north gate, and planned to forcibly break out.
After being attacked by the Japanese army, Guan Linzheng, the commander of the 52nd Army, personally went to the battlefield to supervise the battle, and ordered the troops to defend to the death, and the Japanese army must not be allowed to break out.
Although the Japanese army in Ranzhuang suffered heavy losses, after all, it still had a vital combat strength, and after gathering the 11th and 21st Wings, as well as the remnants of the 8th Brigade and the 33rd Brigade, there were still close to 10,000 soldiers.
Except for the 11th Wing, which was led by Sasaki Gozo, who blocked the frontal enemy and pinned down the 2nd Division, all the remaining Japanese soldiers, more than 1,000 of them, stormed the north gate.
All the little devils have understood that this is their last chance to survive, so they all go forward one after another, seeing death as home, even if the charging comrades fall under the guns of the defenders one after another, they are still the blocking position of the crazy attacking defenders.
There is an attitude of not giving up if the position is broken through!
Although the defenders fought back desperately, wanting to beat the Japanese army, the little devil seized this opportunity and attacked as if he was crazy, no matter how many casualties he had, no matter how much he paid the price, he would not retreat, coupled with the continuous bombardment of more than 60 Japanese fighters, the defenders on the blocking position suffered heavy casualties, and could not fully deal with the Japanese infantry on the ground, so the position has been in a precarious position.
Seeing that the little devil rushed up step by step and was about to touch the position, Zhang Yaoming, the commander of the 25th Division stationed on the position, blistered his lips.
"Division, the No. 35 position on the left side has suffered heavy casualties, and Commander Liu called to ask for reinforcements from the division!" In the headquarters of the 25th Division, the telephone rang non-stop, and a staff officer shouted loudly to Zhang Yaoming in the headquarters in the face of artillery fire.
"it! Where does Lao Tzu have extra reinforcements for him! This little devil is completely crazy, the attack is less than half an hour, and the casualties are close to more than 2,000 and he still doesn't stop attacking, this is fucking fatal! ”
Zhang Yaoming shouted loudly: "You tell me Liu Weidong that there are no reinforcements, but the position must be defended for me, if you lose the position and let the little devil run out, Lao Tzu will skin him alive!" ”
"Yes!"
Hearing Zhang Yaoming's answer, the staff officer immediately picked up the phone and planned to reply truthfully, but at this time, he heard Zhang Yaoming say again: "Wait! ”
"Bring my guard company over, you tell Liu Weidong that this guard company is the last reserve of our 25th Division, and it will be gone when it is gone! But the position can't be lost no matter what, even if all of them die somewhere, even if they are stopped with corpses, they must stop the little devil for me! ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Yaoming took a deep breath, and his forehead, face, and body were all covered with sweat, which was because of the sweat that flowed in a hurry.
He climbed to the map, carefully looked at the combat deployment on the map, the sweat on his body continued to drip down, fell on the map, soaked in round water stains, stared carefully for a while, and then shouted loudly: "Someone!" ”
"Master, what are your orders?" A staff officer approached.
"Send a telegram to the military seat, please send the military seat here, and send a force here to station, the garrison here is a little weak, I am afraid that the Japanese army will use this as a breakthrough point, and it will be too late to regret it!"
"Also, ask the military seat, when will our fighter planes arrive? The 25th Division is almost unable to resist, and if our fighters do not arrive on the battlefield again, the little devil's bombers are afraid that they will blow up all of our 25th Division! ”
"Yes!"
……
One after another orders were issued, and Zhang Yaoming had time to breathe a sigh of relief.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, and suddenly countless droplets of water fell like rain.
I thought that the 20th Army Corps would attack on a large scale, and the Japanese army should have been able to capture it, but I didn't expect that the little devil could burst out with such fierce combat effectiveness under the dying struggle, which is simply incredible.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the 31st Division and the Independent Brigade that had held Taierzhuang before.
It is really hard to imagine that the Japanese army has such a strong combat effectiveness, and how it has held on to the present with only the independent brigade and the 31st division!
Shaking his head and dispelling these thoughts in his mind, Zhang Yaoming wiped the sweat from his face and continued to look at the map.
At the same time, in the northwest corner of Taierzhuang, the area where the 31st Division and the Independent Brigade were stationed.
When the Japanese fighters arrived, when Chen Qingzhi saw a black cloud flying from the direction of Xuzhou from a distance, he immediately stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's coming!" ”
"What's coming?" Chi Fengcheng next to him hadn't reacted yet, and asked subconsciously.
"Our chance to counterattack has come!" Chen Qingzhi turned to face Chi Fengcheng and said, "Chief Chi is still in serious trouble?" ”
"Although my left hand is temporarily invalid, my right hand and two legs are not abolished, and it is more than enough to kill a devil!" Although he didn't understand what Chen Qingzhi meant for a while, seeing the other party's face, Chi Fengcheng was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.
"Good! In that case, Commander Chi, how about you join me in counterattacking the Japanese army? ”
"Dare to disobey?"
