Although the little devil is powerful, he is not iron-clad!

They are also made of meat, they will die after being shot, they will be injured if they are cut by a knife, and they will be wiped out if they are shelled, and in the face of the superior forces and elites of the Fifth War Zone, although they are arrogant, they are not arrogant to the point of being stupid, and they are also cautious.

After all, they have also been fighting with the troops of the Republic of China for such a long time, and they have not suffered big losses once or twice!

At present, the total number of troops participating in the battle of Xuzhou is close to one million, and he is arrogant and knows that in such a big battle, the strength of an individual and the strength of a certain army are insignificant.

Although Se Wuping's Eighth Brigade is not bad in combat, if it is too jumpy, if it is regarded as a typical example by the Zhina Army and attacks with all its might, once the two sides use his Eighth Brigade as the flashpoint of the battle, then even if there are many people in his Eighth Brigade, it will not be enough for both sides to consume!

The current situation is that the slightest mistake will be caught by the other party, and once the opportunity is seized and then attacked, it will become a fuse of destruction in such a delicate balance situation.

Although the little devils are fanatical, not every little devil is selfless and can give their lives for their so-called His Majesty the Emperor. Se Wuping is already a brigade commander, of course he knows that those so-called words are all for the purpose of bewitching the soldiers below, and it is just a matter of fooling ordinary soldiers! It would be a joke to ask them to give their lives!

As the brigade commander, he is already a middle- and high-level officer of the Japanese army, and he can basically know some insiders!

As the brigade commander of the 8th Brigade, Se Wuhei also had to make some plans for himself.

Although he is already in his thirties, he is still in the prime of life in the army, and he still wants to rush to the position of division commander or even higher, if he leaves some bad impressions on the top because of the excessive losses of his troops, then it will be much more difficult for him to be promoted to division commander, and it will be much more difficult for him to speak and stand out in the military in the future.

This is definitely not what Se Wuping wants to see!

At the time when Se Wuping was stagnant in the Zaozhuang area, at this time, the Japanese Fifth Division, under the leadership of the division commander Itagaki Seishiro, also rushed from Linyi to the area east of Yi County, and advanced towards the Taierzhuang area.

When the Fifth Division was approaching Taierzhuang, Itagaki Seishiro also sent a telegram to the North China Front, requesting the headquarters to urge the troops under the command of the 10th Division to immediately assist them in attacking Taierzhuang!

After receiving the news, the North China Front Headquarters also immediately issued an order to the Eighth Brigade in charge of the offensive to continue advancing.

Se Wuping, who had been hesitating, was a little panicked after getting the news!

His original plan was to let the troops be stationed here, first let the troops of the Fifth Division attack and take the lead, he was waiting and seeing, and then find some troops who were not very strong in combat effectiveness to fight, but now the command sent a telegram, but it suddenly disrupted Se Wuping's plan!

As a last resort, Se Wuping had to send a wing of troops to the area of Taierzhuang, and launched a fierce attack on Taierzhuang.

However, the North China Front did not move towards the Eighth Brigade of Keng, and after issuing the order to advance to Taierzhuang, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front also immediately ordered the fighters to set sail and go to the area of Taierzhuang to support and coordinate the attack of the Eighth Brigade.

At this point, the Battle of Taierzhuang is about to break out!

……

March 23rd

The 39th Wing of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army advanced to Taierzhuang on the orders of the brigade commander Se Wuping, and made contact with the border troops of the defenders in the Kangzhuang and Nigou areas on the north side of Taierzhuang, and a battle broke out.

In order to lure the enemy deeper, the commander of the 31st Division, Chi Fengcheng, decided to send a unit deep into the heart of the Japanese army to attract the main force of the Japanese army to pursue.

After Chi Feng Cheng's decision was issued, Liu Lanzhai, the commander of the cavalry company under the 31st Division, stepped forward and decided to lead the cavalry company to attract the Japanese army.

After Liu Lanzhai set off, he set out from Taierzhuang and searched and advanced to the area of Yixian County, and the commander of the 91st Brigade, Qi Zibin, also led the 183rd Regiment to follow up, and contacted the Japanese army in Kangzhuang, which was twenty miles south of Yixian County, and a major battle broke out.

Kangzhuang

A group of cavalry was galloping quickly on the avenue, especially galloping too fast, and the horses were constantly kicking, rolling up large clouds of smoke and dust on the road, looking from afar, as if blowing a sandstorm.

This unit is the cavalry company under the jurisdiction of the 31st Division, and it is also the only cavalry company of the 31st Division!

As the company commander of the cavalry company, Liu Lanzhai had a solemn face, carrying a ghost-headed knife behind his back, holding a pistol at his waist, and looking at the situation left and right with sharp eyes, in case there might be a little devil.

It is absolutely dangerous to introduce Erzhuang to meet the enemy and implement the plan to lure the enemy deep, and Liu Lanzhai also knows it, but he still resolutely stands up and takes this difficult task to himself.

He knew that as the commander of a cavalry company, he had to take on some responsibilities when he had to!

If the division seat has made this decision, then the troops must stand up, and looking at the entire 31st Division, all of them are infantry, so the task of luring the enemy deep is none other than them!

After all, the mobility of their cavalry is much faster than that of infantry, and even if they encounter danger, as long as they do not encounter the bombing of Japanese fighters, they can take advantage of the rapid mobility of their horses and evacuate.

However, although it is fast to maneuver, it cannot be negligent.

Although it is a plan to lure the enemy into depth, you must also be careful not to let the little devils discover them first, otherwise once they encounter an ambush, their cavalry company is likely to be wiped out!

The cavalry company was brought out by itself, and even if it could not be brought back completely, most of the people had to be brought back!

The cavalry company must not be wiped out in its own hands!

Liu Lanzhai's thoughts The soldiers didn't know, just when Liu Lanzhai thought so, behind him, the cavalry soldiers all followed closely behind him, and the galloping war horses made a huge noise, and even the earth trembled slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

galloping, two fast horses suddenly appeared in the distance, and they were rushing towards this side.

When Liu Lanzhai saw it, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and with a wave of his hand, all the soldiers behind him straightened the reins, and the war horse began to slow down.

After continuing to charge for some distance, the horse team came to a complete stop, and at this time the two fast horses on the opposite side had already galloped in front of them.

"Lianza, the reconnaissance brother found a large force of the Japanese army in the front five miles, about the strength of a wing, and it is rushing towards us quickly!" Two soldiers sat on the two warhorses opposite, and one of them said urgently.
