Chapter 1380: The Flesh Mill
Although the enemy is strong and I am weak, but the 233rd Division and the 232nd Division are worthy of being the youth army, student soldiers, and special operations divisions. must have left behind the corpses of the little devils.
As of yesterday evening, the last defense line of the 233rd Division and the 232nd Division was only the last dozens of watchtowers in the southwest corner of Kaiping, and the casualties of the 232nd Division reached a terrifying 60 percent, and the 233rd Division reached 70 percent, and the two divisions could not make up one division.
But their sacrifice was worth it, and just as night was about to fall, the deputy commander-in-chief of the 42nd Army personally led the 240th and 241st divisions to kill, and quickly launched a strong attack from the rear of the island army in the north.
The pressure of the 233rd and 232nd Divisions dropped sharply, but the morale was unprecedentedly high, and the two remnant divisions actually launched a fierce counterattack against the enemy.
The island army is known as the world's No. 1 army, and these guys in front of them have been rampant in China for many years, and they are bloodthirsty, but they never thought that the opponent they faced was so fierce and fearless of death, the Jedi's ability to fight back was so strong, and the will to fight was so terrifying, and the little devils who were caught off guard suddenly suffered a lot.
The temporary deployment of troops by the island army to the rear caused confusion and laxity in the front defense line for a while, but their opponents decisively seized this opportunity, launched a charge against them, and launched a roar of revenge against them.
The Youth Army is definitely the most peculiar team of the national army, they all come from major colleges and universities across the country, they are of the same age, they enlisted in the army almost at the same time, and they received Jiang Haoran-style devilish training, they have knowledge, thoughts, beliefs, and more full of feelings of serving the country.
In particular, the 42nd Group Army, since its formation, all of them have been trained in the Yunnan-Guizhou area for many years, and the brotherhood and robes of the troops are deeper than those between any troops in China, and their cohesion is absolutely second to none, they will not let their brothers shed blood and sacrifice while they hide behind them, and the 233rd and 232nd divisions in front of them have proved this with their actions.
Therefore, the island army will never have good fruit to eat when they encounter them, they are a group of tigers, even if they are still a group of tigers who have just learned to prey, but the tiger is a tiger, not a wolf can match.
After a night of fighting, the two armies finally broke through the enemy's line and joined forces victoriously, but the battle did not end there.
Kaiping a radius of dozens of miles more than a dozen villages and towns, thousands of towers, complex terrain, not too large an area, hoarding nearly 100,000 troops on both sides of the enemy, maybe a radius of a few miles can no longer see their own people, but there may be one or two watchtowers in their hands, perhaps, obviously has cut off the opponent's line of defense, the next step can be divided and surrounded, but as long as a key watchtower is lost, immediately another big hole.
Therefore, the entire battlefield has no front or rear, no main attack and no assist, only melee, a mess of battles, the enemy is me, I have the enemy, and because of this, this battle is destined to become a battle of the world, and it also makes Kaiping a real flesh mill.
From yesterday morning to this afternoon, the sound of gunfire has not stopped in Kaiping, and the smoke of gunpowder has enveloped the sky over Kaiping for a long time.
In the countryside, in the fields, in the mountains, in the valleys, in the small courtyards of the farmhouses to the streets and alleys of the city, everywhere you look, there are corpses all over the field, rivers of blood flowing, and all kinds of buildings, including watchtowers, are full of holes and ruins.
The cruel war has made everyone crazy, inhuman, irrational, and has forgotten family, friends, affection, friendship, and even fatigue, pain, and everything, leaving only killing, endless killing, killing where either you die or I die, and the result of the war must be that one side must all fall to end.
However, no one knows when this time will come, because both sides continue to increase their troops in this flesh mill.
The remaining troops of the 42nd Group Army of the Nationalist Army are marching here with all their might, and more than a dozen inland river guns of the Island Army have already driven in, and they are marching all the way up the Tan River to assist the Island Army in sweeping the defense lines and watchtowers controlled by the Nationalist Army on both sides of the river.
……
In the evening, Guilin, Li House.
Jiang Haoran held a cigarette and paced back and forth on a stone road in the courtyard.
This is one of the many courtyards of the Li Mansion, far away from the command center, quiet and elegant, and at this time, Jiang Haoran needs a place like this to think about some problems.
The situation of the war did not advance as he expected, and he originally thought that after the capture of Kaiping, the island army in the direction of Guangdong would not abandon Guangdong and retreat to Fujian, and Taiwan would step up the construction of a second sea and land defense line. Who knew that they actually went the opposite way, and made every effort to shrink the Guangdong forces to rush to Kaiping, it seems that this is the island army's donkey skills in order to break the net, and it is also in line with his first prediction of the island army "I'd rather lose Guangdong than Guangxi", but Jiang Haoran always felt that something was wrong.
Because this trick is really not clever.
They have indeed brought a lot of trouble to the 42nd Group Army in front of them, but this is only temporary, within 10 days, the follow-up troops of the 42nd Group Army will be fully advanced, even if they continue to harass and block along the rear road, at least half of the troops will be able to arrive smoothly, and at that time, unless they can continue to increase their troops to Kaiping, otherwise the two divisions of Kaiping will have only one way to perish.
However, the 21st Army of the Island Army has only seven divisions under its jurisdiction, and there are only five divisions and regiments left in the rear, and there are no troops to adjust at all, even if they are willing to abandon the entire territory of Guangdong and raise troops to drive to Guangxi, but there are still more than 100,000 troops under Zhang Fakui's department behind them, and if they are not careful, the entire 21st Army in Guangdong will be sent to a dead end, can the Island Army do this?
All kinds of unreasonableness made Jiang Haoran unable to understand the initiative of the island army at all, unless they put two divisions into it, just to block the 42nd Group Army for ten days?
But ten days is unlikely to change much for the battle situation in Guangxi, does the little devil have any way to turn over?
"Total seat...... Kaiping ...... "Liu He didn't know when he came, standing behind Jiang Haoran with a solemn expression, and he stopped talking.
Jiang Haoran's body trembled, and he suddenly turned around and said urgently: "What's wrong with Kaiping?" ”
