Why can an army be called an army, and why can the same number of people in the army defeat the same bandit cottages, and even more people than them?

That's because in the army, there are strict military rules and discipline, so that the soldiers are unified and the orders are strict, since ancient times, only the formation of rules, the formation of discipline, the mobilization of the strength of the whole, in order to use the ability of one plus one is greater than two!

The first thing anyone learns when they enter the army is to listen to orders, understand discipline, and learn the art of joint attack, because only those who know how to cooperate with their comrades can survive on the cruel battlefield!

It is simply impossible for a lone person and a soldier like that to survive on the battlefield, and the so-called lone ranger simply does not work on the battlefield! Because their bones have already been dumped on a mass grave, and the grass on the grave has grown three feet!

What's more, because loners only pay attention to themselves, so people like them, in the army, no one likes them! Because no matter who it is, they will not trust their backs and their lives to such people!

At this time, it has entered the night, but no one on either side has the intention of ceasefire, and the battle in Tengxian has entered a white-hot state, and both sides have already fought a real fire.

Under such circumstances, neither side dares to take it lightly, nor does it dare to cease fire at will, because the battle has reached this time, because it is impossible to cease fire, only the little devils are repulsed, or Tengxian is occupied by the Japanese army, and there is no other way to choose!

After all, both the Chinese side and the Japanese army are fighting around Teng County, and the two sides have paid so much damage in order to fight for Teng County, and the reinforcements from both sides are also rushing towards this side, if one is not careful, maybe the soldiers of the little devil will come the next day, or the reinforcements of the defenders will rush over the next day!

It is precisely because of such a situation that even if this battle is fought late at night, it will continue in the future!

And after late at night, the intensity of the battle is actually stronger than during the day!

At this time, the little devils who entered Dongguan have been all annihilated, and after killing the little devils, a battalion of soldiers took advantage of the situation to recover Dongguan, and as a result, the battle situation between the two sides returned to the previous state again, as if the tragic battle in Dongguan had not happened before.

However, on the ground, the corpses of the little devils and soldiers in that place were lying there silently, and the blood all over the ground and the indissolvable bloody breath of the plan were silently reminding them that everything that happened before was true!

In the night, the sound of gunfire and artillery rang out constantly, and the sky was lit up as if it were day.

The shouts of killing were endless, and they rang back and forth in the entire Teng County, and the entire Teng County had fallen into the flames of war.

An attack carefully prepared by the Japanese army still ended in failure, which made the little devil very unwilling, and the brigade commander of the Seya detachment, Seya Kei, was furious when he got the news, and even lost his temper in the command center, beating and scolding the attacking captain for being a waste, and he lost his temper in the command headquarters, and then he was relieved.

They wanted to organize an attack again, but their brigade had suffered a lot of losses so far, and it was late at night, and if a large-scale attack was organized, the situation would not be unfavorable for them, so it was not enough.

However, despite the abandonment of the large-scale offensive, skirmishes in various places never stopped.

The Japanese army launched an attack around Fuji County in various places, and the defenders of various important defensive positions also struggled to resist the little devils, and under such circumstances, they fought all night.

At dawn, the units of the 370 and 372 brigades defending Shenjingkou and Chitouji, as well as the two battalions defending Beishahe and Hongding, were overwhelmed by the fierce attack of the Japanese army, and the remnants retreated to the city of Tengxian one after another, which also made the defensive strength of Tengxian County rise a little and the strength of the troops was strengthened to a certain extent.

In addition, the defenders in the north of Tengxian County were also attacked by the Japanese army, and the front line was broken one after another, and all the remnants were defeated towards Weishan Lake, Zexian and other places.

And it wasn't until dawn that the fighting that had been raging all night finally stopped.

At this point, the battle on the periphery of Teng County has come to an end, and almost all the peripheral positions of Teng County have fallen into the hands of the little devils.

It was only now, after the situation became a little clearer, that the Fifth Theater Command got the specific battle situation of Teng County, but the situation they got was not optimistic.

Xuzhou, Fifth Theater Command

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi looked at the situation between the enemy and us on the sand table in the command headquarters, their brows were tightly locked, and they looked a little dignified.

"The situation is not optimistic!" Bai Chongxi looked at the sand table, thinking about the battle report of Tengxian County sent by the people below before, with a trace of worry on his face, he sighed and said.

"No matter how optimistic it is, this battle still has to be fought!" Li Zongren said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Bai Chongxi said: "But at present, we have no extra troops in our hands!" The current battle situation in Tengxian County is very unfavorable, the 22nd Group Army was defeated and retreated under the attack of the little devils, and only Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division was guarding in Tengxian County, and in the surrounding areas of Tengxian County, almost all of them were the troops of the little devils, if we could not send superior forces or strong troops, we would definitely be pinned down by the little devils! ”

"At that time, not only will we lose some of our manpower, but the plan to reinforce Teng County will also fail!"

Hearing this, Li Zongren frowned, and couldn't help but shake his head, with a helpless look on his face.

Although the battle of Xuzhou invested twice as many troops as the Japanese army, most of them were basically miscellaneous troops from all over the country, and the quality of weapons and equipment and soldiers was very low.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Zongren brought all his Gui descendants troops over when he was fighting this battle, and replaced them with someone to command, maybe the Battle of Xuzhou would have been beaten by him like the Songhu War of Resistance, and it would have ended in a miserable situation again.

Li Zongren doesn't want that tragedy to happen again!

But...... He really has more than enough heart and not enough strength!

He has already exhausted himself, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the troops that he can still hold in his hands are either too far away from Teng County, or they can't alleviate the tension in Teng County at all after being sent out!

"Brother Delin, haven't you forgotten that one?" Just when Li Zongren frowned and pondered, Bai Chongxi suddenly spoke.

"That one?" Hearing Bai Chongxi's words, Li Zongren was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and frowned: "Are you talking about Tang Enbo?" ”
