The devil's plane came, and there were 24 of them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because the 4th Brigade was moving from the tunnels, they did not carry anti-aircraft guns, only a few anti-aircraft machine guns. And because the position was built for a short time and there were no air-raid shelters, it was basically bombed.

Brigade Commander Gao Wenqiang immediately organized anti-aircraft shooting, forcing the devil planes not to dare to approach the ground, reducing their accuracy in dropping bombs, and reducing losses as much as possible.

Five minutes later, the plane dropped its bombs and flew away, and the 4th Brigade lost thousands of officers and men.

Ushijima's troops also came up, they also joined the attack, and the devils didn't pay attention to the formation anymore, and tens of thousands of devils pounced.

Finally, a position on the right flank was broken through by the devils, and the devils rushed to the position and quickly attacked both sides, trying to widen the gap.

At this moment, a regiment of guerrillas arrived, and they were already tired from the long march, but nevertheless rushed forward with all their might. The gap is finally plugged.

The devils fought less and less, and the guerrillas continued to join the defensive positions, and the devils began to despair.

Ushijima knew that he was not far from destruction, so he drew his sword, took off his shirt, and howled and attacked himself.

At this moment, Xu Feihu caught up with a division of the Tiger Army, Frank's artillery brigade, and two independent brigades.

Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu also took the main force of the 59th Army and surrounded the troops directly under the group army.

Ushijima and the others saw that they could not break through the encirclement, and immediately organized resistance on the spot.

Ushijima, Imura, and Hatoyama were all desperate, and the areas they controlled were undefendable, and they were less than 8 square kilometres. Every time a shell hits, there are casualties. They knew they wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

Ozaka Kamizo was frightened, sweated, and actually had a fever. He anxiously awaited the news of the breakout of Ushijima. Ushijima's telegram arrived, and Ogaka Kamizo's face turned from sallow to pale.

Ushijima sent a farewell telegram, and he said: "Your Excellency, Commander, our troops have been surrounded by several times the enemy's forces, and the enemy's firepower is strong, and there is no hope for our troops to break through. Farewell, I hope to be kind to my family members, the Great Japanese Imperial Army, His Majesty the Emperor. Ushijima, Imura, Hatoyama

Ogaka Kamizo ordered the air force to be dispatched again, and at the same time asked for help from the commander of the North China Front, General Sugi Sugimoto, and the Central China Dispatch Army, General Matsui Ishine.

The devil's will to fight is really strong, and the 22 planes that have just flown back to the airport. (2 planes were knocked out just now) immediately reloaded and refueled, and took off again.

By the time they flew into battle again, everything had changed. Hundreds of 37-mm anti-aircraft guns were waiting for them. This time, none of these bulky bombers can go back.

Xia Chao said goodbye to Tang Enbo and went to Weishan County.

Wuhan Military Commission.

Wang Shihe sent a telegram saying that the 13th Division of the Japanese Army had dispatched from Xuzhou and went straight to Zaozhuang.

It turned out that General Matsui Ishine received a telegram from the commander of the North China Front, Shanshan Yuan, asking him to send troops to attack Zaozhuang, besiege Wei to rescue Zhao, and force Xia Chaobu to return to help and rescue the besieged Japanese troops such as Ushijima.

Although Matsui Ishine was reluctant to wipe his buttocks, it was the Japanese army who was besieged after all, and it was incumbent on him to reach out to the rescue.

Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others were very worried, and Chen Cheng even sent a telegram to Tang Enbo. As a result, Tang Enbo said that the summer tide has returned to Shandong.

Chairman Chiang was also worried that Ushijima's troops were already very large, and with the 13th Division, he was worried that the summer tide would not be able to withstand the Japanese attack. I want to remind him, but I can't get in touch now, so I can't help it.

The commander of the 13th Division, Shizuichi Tanaka, was originally the chief of staff of the Commander of the Division, but after the death of the Division, he acted as the commander of the division, and was later officially appointed as the commander of the division. Generally, the division commander is replaced by the brigade commander, and the chief of staff is Dazuo, who cannot be directly promoted to the division commander.

Shizuichi Tanaka was born in a Japanese family, and he was exceptionally promoted to the head of the division, but he was worried that others would have opinions, so he acted as an agent for a while.

The level of this cargo fighting is average, but the speculative drilling camp is definitely a good hand. Now, let him send troops to fight the summer tide, and he muttered in his heart.

Is the summer tide so easy to fight? How many Japanese generals have suffered from the summer tide. He thinks he doesn't have the ability to beat the summer tide. Before leaving, he asked Matsui Shigen, what if there was an ambush in Zaozhuang in the summer tide?

Matsui Ishine didn't dare to guarantee that Xia Chao would have no other troops except for the troops sent to encircle and destroy Ushijima, so he told Tanaka Shizuichi to let him take action.

That's what Shizuchi Tanaka wants, camera, what kind of camera? Lao Tzu said that the machine is what kind of machine. Before his troops left Xuzhou, they sent a brigade to advance towards Zaozhuang with great fanfare, and they were about to hold a press conference.

He just wants to tell Xia Chao, I'm coming, you can move too.

Xia Chao didn't know what the idea of this thing was, he was worried that the 13th Division would really attack Zaozhuang, and at this time, the battle to encircle and annihilate Niu Island was not over, and it was more troublesome to fight on both sides.

He sent a telegram to Liang Guodong, the commander of the independent division who stayed behind, and asked him to send a small unit under the names of the 59th Army, the Tiger Army, and the Independent Division respectively to confuse the enemy.

This is what Tanaka Shizuichi wanted, and he immediately sent a telegram to Matsui Shigen, saying that a large number of enemy troops had appeared near Zaozhuang, and it seemed that he had been prepared for a long time, and it was likely that there was an ambush.

When Matsui Ishine heard him say this, he was also worried that he had been ambushed, and if he lost the 13th Division in order to rescue Ushijima, he was unwilling, so he ordered him to send a small force to bluff and withdraw the main force to Xuzhou.

Tanaka Jingyi immediately withdrew to Xuzhou with his troops, and he didn't even bother to send small troops. Small troops are also troops, and it's not good to lose them.

In this way, no one will rescue Ushijima, and what awaits them is destruction

Dead.

Xia Chao sent a telegram to Zhang Zizhong and Xu Feihu, telling them to let go and annihilate the Ushijima Division.

Zhang Zizhong and Xu Feihu set up a headquarters on the front line, and according to the usual method of fighting in the summer tide, the troops were not allowed to attack, but they only rushed to repair the fortifications on the spot and surrounded the devils to the death.

Frank, the commander of the artillery brigade, commanded the artillery of various units in a unified manner, and carried out carpet artillery bombardment on the besieged devils.

After three hours of shelling and all the shells were exhausted, a special operations team was sent in to investigate.

It turned out that the devil was basically dead.

Zhang Zizhong ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield and completely eliminate the remnants of the devils.

At noon the next day, Xia Chao met Zhang Zizhong and others.

In the conference room of the headquarters of the group army, the leaders and brains of the group army were all elated. When they saw the summer tide coming in, they all greeted him cordially.

Xia Chao was very happy, and the victory in this battle showed that the top echelons of the group army had really grown up. Zhang Zizhong and Zhao Dengyu have now gradually mastered advanced operational concepts, and Xu Feihu, Chen Shuming, and others are also able to take charge on their own.

After the results of the battle were counted, the summer tide sent a telegram to the Military Commission to report the victory.
