Part 3: The War of Resistance of Blood and Fire, Chapter 9, Rushing Flow, Section 8, The Yellow River is Roaring (2

There are not many people in the headquarters who know the relationship between Zhuang Jihua and Gong Xiuhua, but people like Xu Zuyi and He Wei are clear, they didn't say anything, but Li Zhilong specially talked to Zhuang Jihua. \、ǒM//

"Secretary Gong, what's wrong? If it's uncomfortable, just rest, it's not a big deal at the front. Zhuang Jihua persuaded when he saw that Gong Xiuhua's face was a little pale, and his tone showed that he was very confident in the current situation.

Gong Xiuhua shook his head with difficulty, but persuaded him: "Don't keep talking about me, but you should take a good rest, since the things on the front line are not a big deal, take advantage of this time to take a good rest." ”

Zhuang Jihua ignored it, turned his head and asked Xu Zuyi: "How is Song Xilian's progress there?" ”

After Zhuang Jihua turned his head, He Wei suddenly found that there seemed to be tears flashing in Gong Xiuhua's eyes, and a cloud of doubt suddenly rose in his heart, knowing that something big must have happened.

Sure enough, Gong Xiuhua shook his head slightly at Wu Ziniu, and the two of them walked out of the war room one after the other, and a cloud of doubt surged in He Wei's heart, Gong Xiuhua and Wu Ziniu were Zhuang Jihua's most trusted people, and their status in the headquarters even exceeded that of him, the chief of staff.

"Song Xilian's progress is too slow, tell Song Xilian, strengthen the offensive, don't worry about losses, the Japanese army in Liaocheng is the last force of the Japanese army in North China, as long as this Japanese army is eliminated, there will not be many big battles in the whole of North China."

He Wei didn't have time to think about it, and was attracted by Zhuang Jihua's words.

Compared with Du Yuming and Guan Linzheng, the north bank of the Yellow River was the most important task of this offensive and the key to this battle.

"Boom" a tank caught fire and exploded, two tank crews jumped out of the tank, one of them had a fire on his back, and when he came out, he rolled on the ground, and the other pulled out a wounded companion from the tank, and after the three people came out, they helped each other and ran backwards.

“**”

Inside the observation post, Qiu Qingquan couldn't help but scold, this is the third attack, it seems that the devil's anti-tank fire is well hidden, and he has once again dodged his artillery attack.

After crossing the river, Qiu Qingquan was in constant trouble, first Jiang Weiguo did not obey the order, and after occupying Puzhen, he launched an attack on Fan County without authorization, and took Fan County unharmed. After Qiu Qingquan got the report, he sweated in his heart, fortunately the Japanese army abandoned Fan County, if this second son really had any mistakes, how could he explain to Chiang Kai-shek.

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not resist, and as soon as they found the Chinese tanks, they immediately shrank, and even Dong'e gave up, and the 22nd Group Army, which was waiting on the south bank of the Yellow River, took a shot.

The 22nd Group Army successfully crossed the river and occupied Dong'e, Song Xilian's troops were divided into two routes, with the 22nd Group Army approaching Liaocheng from the south road, the mechanized First Army and the Second Group Army passing through Yanggu to attack Liaocheng from the southwest, and the 101st Army of the 49th Group Army acting as a reserve. In addition, Song Xilian also has a secret chess, that is, the guerrilla corps led by Chen G, the New Eighth Army, Pang Bingxun and Sun Dianying's puppet army anyway, Chen G will lead this army to the north bank of the Maji River, take the crown city, Linqing, detour north of Liaocheng, and form an encirclement of Liaocheng.

What made Song Xilian more satisfied was that the Japanese army in Liaocheng did not move, on the contrary, the Japanese troops of the four divisions were always close to each other and waited for the battle. Song Xilian was happy, but also a little puzzled, Liaocheng is flat, almost flat, the only thing that can be relied on is a few rivers, the Grand Canal that runs through the north and south, and the Tuxiao River that runs through the east and west, but this is not much of a problem for the squadron with tank troops and air superiority. So he confidently and boldly commanded the troops to launch an attack on Liaocheng.

The 22nd Group Army took the lead in Liaocheng, and Sun Zhen launched a tentative attack on Liaocheng with the 379th Brigade of the 127th Division of the 45th Army as the vanguard; The deployment of Liu Naizhu, the commander of the 379th Brigade, was that the 773rd Regiment and the 774th Regiment were advancing side by side, and he led the brigade headquarters and the 772nd Regiment to press the formation.

After the war, the Flying Tiger Banner was awarded by the Military Commission, and the whole army was awarded 2,000 meritorious officers; In the early Battle of Xuzhou, the 22nd Group Army took on the heavy task of conquering Bengbu in World War I, cutting off the connection between the Japanese army in East China and Central China, and winning the initiative for the entire campaign.

At this moment, the morale of the 22nd Group Army was high and full of confidence, and instead of hiding from the Japanese, it was looking for the Japanese to fight.

The 773rd Regiment and the 774th Regiment marched hand in hand, meeting the 71st Division of the Japanese Army on the periphery of the set. As soon as they made contact, the squadron launched a fierce attack, and the Japanese retreated to Yuji after a little resistance, and the 773 and 774 regiments took advantage of the situation to pursue and attack Ji.

This time the Japanese army did not retreat, but calmly resisted, and continuously repelled the attack of the squadron, after the 379 Brigade arrived, Liu Naizhu continued to strengthen the offensive, twice rushed into the market town, and was driven out by the Japanese army twice.

The offensive of the squadron was slightly frustrated, the Japanese army immediately launched a counterattack, the 71st Division concentrated two brigades, and launched a pincer offensive against the 379 Brigade from the left and right sides, the 379 Brigade was defeated, the 773 Regiment Commander Chen Zemin was killed, the 774 Regiment Commander Guo Hongdian was seriously injured, and the 772 Regiment Commander Tang Shukang led his troops to fight to the death, and the whole brigade was in danger; The 381st Brigade arrived, and the commander of the 381st Brigade, Tao Kai, commanded the troops to launch a counterattack against the Japanese and contain the Japanese attack

When the Japanese saw that the reinforcements of the squadron had arrived, they gradually retreated and returned to their original positions. Tao Kai did not pursue, but took over the position of the 379 Brigade, Liu Naizhu cleaned up and reorganized the whole brigade, only to find that the loss of the whole brigade was close to forty percent, three regiment commanders, one dead and one seriously wounded, and the troops almost lost their combat effectiveness.

After receiving the report, Sun Zhen was furious, and immediately ordered Liu Naizhu to be removed from his post as brigade commander, led by deputy brigade commander Guo Hongdian, and retreated to Qiji Town for rectification, and at the same time notified the whole army to remind generals at all levels not to underestimate the enemy. Subsequently, Sun Zhen ordered the 45th Army to continue the attack, and he himself led the 41st Army to bypass the gathering and attack from Xu Ying in the southeast.

The entire south of Liaocheng was in flames, and before the attack began, Sun Zhen received a telegram that Song Xilian ordered him to stop the attack and wait for the mechanized First Army.

Qiu Qingquan adjusted the order of the troops' advance in Fanxian County, and transferred Jiang Weiguo back as a rearguard. Starting from Fan County, Qiu Qingquan did not meet anyone who could fight at all, and the puppet army took the initiative to contact him when he saw the tank along the way, so that Ma Jintao, the head of the avant-garde regiment, was a little depressed.

Until the canal, Qiu Qingquan's tank did not have a chance to really fire a shot, but when he arrived at the canal, Ma Jintao found that the Japanese army on the opposite bank was well guarded, so he did not rush to force the crossing, but retreated five miles and waited for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

The troops gathered on the west bank of the canal, and after Song Xilian and Qiu Qingquan briefly called for advice, they ordered Chi Fengcheng to command the 40th Army to force the crossing at Zhangluji.

Song Xilian was determined to show the three-dimensional attack that the squadron now has, and the battle to force the canal was three-dimensional from the beginning, in the sky, p40, p51, and B17 bombed in turn, and there were always three or four Chinese planes in the sky monitoring the Japanese army on the ground; After the plane bombed, the heavy artillery regiment belonging to the group army began to roar again, and then the heavy artillery regiment under the army also began to speak, and the last one to appear was the rocket artillery battalion allocated to him by the theater of operations.

When the landing ground was shrouded in fire and smoke, the Chinese soldiers at the ferry port who were about to force their way saw shells flying into the smoke, and then burst into a cluster of fire, and the smoke became thicker. And the Japanese army was silent, and did not see the artillery fire of the Japanese counterattack at all.

The Chinese soldiers have never been so refreshed, they have never been so cheerful, the smoke has not yet cleared, all kinds of temporary requisitioned boats are in the water, the soldiers are convinced that there can be no living creatures on the other side of the land, they have only occupied that land in the past, only a few veterans are still on high alert, clutching the guns in their hands.

In the small grove on the edge of the green gauze tent outside Houying Town, five kilometers behind the landing site, a group of Japanese generals were silently observing the place shrouded in smoke.

But the scene presented in front of him now made him feel extremely shocked, such artillery fire had never been seen in the imperial army, even the Soviet army, which was powerful in firepower.

Seizo Yusue put down the binoculars, stabilized his demeanor, and quietly looked at Yasuken Kamojima, he now understood why Okamura Ninji attached so much importance to this guy, so far, all the movements of the Shina army were within his expectations, and even the location of the river crossing was accurately grasped by him.

However, Seizo Arisue thought that Nakajima Yasuken also did not expect that the Shina Army would have such a powerful firepower, and he put two reinforced squadrons at the ferry, with more than 500 people, and now it seems that it would be good if these 500 people could survive a tenth of them.

From 38 to the present, he participated in the Second Battle of Jinpu Road, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Battle of Changsha, and he has never seen such a fierce artillery fire in the Chinese army.

Masai Yoshito's face turned pale, this section of the defense area was his 121st division defense area, and the more than 500 people at the ferry were led by the captain Nomasa Daisa, who had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield of Soviet Russia, but unfortunately, the hero of this empire was lost here.

"Masai-kun, reinforce the ferry immediately," Arisue Seizo pretended to be calm and reminded Yoshito Masai.

Yasuken Nakajima immediately interjected: "Commander, there is no need for reinforcements to the ferry, I think we should let the army cross the river, they cross the river from here, just on the attack route we expected, if we change to other places, we are afraid that it will be more troublesome." ”

Zhengjing Yiren was slightly flustered, gave up the canal natural danger, and let the Zhina army come over, this crossing the river, there is no danger, and the tanks of the Zhina army can rush all the way to Liaocheng City.

However, Seizan understood Nakajima's purpose, since Nakajima judged that the Shina army crossed the river in this area, there must be corresponding arrangements, since the Shina army had such strong firepower, it was only a matter of time before they crossed the canal, and instead of letting them cross the river from other places, it was better to let them cross the river in the planned place.
