Chapter 388: The situation is not good
Thinking of this, Chen Qingzhi hurriedly told Chi Fengcheng his conjecture.
Originally, Chi Fengcheng was still a little shocked by Sun Lianzhong's order, but now when he heard Chen Qingzhi's analysis, he realized that he was about to launch a general attack.
After hearing this, Chi Fengcheng also showed a touch of excitement on his face.
Originally, he was only thinking that he wanted to leave a little fire for the 31st Division because the day of the decisive battle of the battle in the grandstand Erzhuang was far away, and he had always held on to it, but he couldn't see any hope at all, and now, since Commander-in-Chief Li had decided to come to the front line tomorrow and command and supervise the battle, Chi Fengcheng naturally rested his mind about evacuating the position.
After all, the day of the decisive battle is imminent, and it is impossible for his 31st Division to withdraw no matter what!
Thinking of this, Chi Fengcheng regrouped his mind and said to Chen Qingzhi: "Since tomorrow is a decisive battle, it seems that my 31st Division can't be withdrawn, and it can't be withdrawn!" Brother Chen, we are going to fight side by side again! ”
"Isn't it just going to be until noon tomorrow! As long as this battle can be won, even if my Chifeng City and the 31st Division are completely wiped out, what is the pity? Pass the order, from now on, our 31st Division is determined to fight to the death with the Japanese army and stick to the end! Who dares to take half a step back and will not be forgiven! ”
"In addition, order someone to blow up the canal pontoon bridge to prevent the way back! The 31st Division is fighting against the tide today, and it will not stop fighting! ”
Chi Fengcheng stood up and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
At the sound of an order, naturally there were soldiers who obeyed the order, and a dozen or so soldiers were sent to the other side of the canal, and soon, a violent explosion sounded in the distance, and the fire rose into the sky, and the shining red light was reflected here, and the faces of everyone present were reflected in the cloudy and uncertain.
Canal pontoon ...... It's been blown up!
At this point, the retreat of their 31st division is gone!
However, not a single person regrets it!
At this moment, all the remaining soldiers of the 31st Division, including the fighters of the Independent Brigade, gathered here, and their faces showed a determined look.
Although they could not withdraw, the soldiers did not have the slightest complaint, on the one hand, the 31st Division under the leadership of Chi Fengcheng had strict military discipline, and they knew very well that after Commander-in-Chief Li and Commander Sun issued orders at this moment, the military order could not be violated, and there was no room for turnaround.
Therefore, when the order was issued, when the back road was cut off, the soldiers not only did not lose their will, but cheered up, and their morale increased greatly.
Besides, with the two commanders Chi Fengcheng and Chen Qingzhi here, taking the lead, fighting to the death with these ordinary soldiers, the soldiers saw that the commanders were working here, and they were naturally even more afraid of death!
"Brothers, the commander-in-chief will personally arrive at Taierzhuang tomorrow to command the troops to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army, and Commander Sun of our Second Group Army has also gone to the front line in person to organize death squads to attack the Japanese army.
Chi Fengcheng stood up, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the day of martyrdom, the day of the horse leather shroud has come, just today, at this time, our 31st Division will fight to the death in the Japanese army, never to the death, tell me, are you afraid!" ”
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! ”
"I am willing to fight to the death with the Japanese army with the division!"
The soldiers of the 31st Division shouted loudly.
Although there were not many divisions left at this time, and all of them added up to less than 1,000 people, the momentum of all the people gathered together was breathtaking.
The sound was transmitted in strings and spread throughout the entire Taierzhuang battlefield.
Even the clouds of smoke in the sky were shattered and dissipated.
The voice also reached the Japanese position, and when the Japanese 21st Wing and 11th Wing rushed into the headquarters of the Japanese army in Shonai, the commander of the 5th Division, Seishiro Itagaki, couldn't help but follow the prestige, with a solemn look on his face.
It wasn't until a long time that he couldn't help but shake his head, with a look of admiration on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The Zhina Army is already determined to die!" Next, I'm afraid there will be another fierce battle! ”
With such prestige and determination, how could Seishiro Itagaki not understand what this meant?
He turned his head to look at the Imperial warriors in the headquarters, and saw the soldiers around him, at this time, compared to the elite of the two wings when they had just joined the battle, it was already much, much less.
When he first came before, although Seishiro Itagaki already had a lot of high regard for the defenders, when he really fought with the defenders, the opponent's will to fight and crazy decisiveness still shocked Seishiro Itagaki.
There are two wings, almost the strength of a brigade, and the soldiers of the Fifth Division, which they are known as the 'Steel Army', in their heyday, with so many people, Seishiro Itagaki will not fall behind even if he goes head-to-head with the opponent's army.
However, on the battlefield of Taierzhuang, the 31st Division, which only faced the defenders, had only three or four tenths of its combat strength left, plus an independent brigade that had lost more than half of its strength and had less than one regiment left, plus an independent 44th Brigade that had been exhausted by long-distance raids and soldiers, was unexpectedly indistinguishable.
In the end, if it weren't for the assistance of fighters, artillery, and tanks on the Imperial side, providing fire support, plus the remnants of the 8th Brigade and the 33rd Brigade on the flanks, it would have been absolutely impossible for them to repel the opponent in a short period of time!
Even now they have managed to rush into the village, but the losses are still somewhat heavy!
This is not a victory at all for Seishiro Itagaki, but a fiasco!
After all, the 'Steel Army' in the Imperial Army was actually crushed in front of the opponent's troops whose total strength was less than one division, which was simply a shame for their fifth division!
And now, hearing the other party's shouts and the determination it represents, Itagaki Seishiro knows that the next battle will be even more tragic!
His two wings may have to suffer heavy losses, and there is even the possibility of being wiped out!
Thinking of this, Seishiro Itagaki's heart suddenly sank.
The battle situation is difficult, the imperial army cannot reach, and around Taierzhuang, except for the village, all the enemies in the periphery are the enemies of China, and this situation is really a big crisis for Itagaki Seishiro!
If he is not careful, once he waits for the Chinese army to complete the encirclement, even if all the main forces of his fifth division are here, it will be impossible to rush out!
Because once that time comes, this Taierzhuang will become a Jedi under the siege of the other party!
He Itagaki Seishiro also called the heavens and the earth to be ineffective! Even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can't escape under the siege of the other party's heavy troops!
