Chapter 2: The ninth section of the Jinpu Road Defensive Battle Linyi broke the army

Due to the advantage of artillery fire, the army generally does not take the initiative to fight night battles, during the day, the visibility is high, and the artillery fire wants to fight that, and it is not so easy at night, and the power of artillery fire is nearly half smaller, but now the board can no longer take care of it, and it attacks overnight, from the big and small villages to Zaogoutou, and the whole line of the north of the city is fiercely fighting. Whole\Ben\Small\Say\Net

Zhuang Jihua stood at the head of the city, looking at the sky in the north that was red by artillery fire, Banyuan's madness exceeded his imagination, if he was Banyuan, the best strategy at this moment should be to immediately lead troops to the northwest, take advantage of the lack of reinforcements, rush through the blockage of the 59th Army, and join forces with the 10th Division, on the one hand, cut off the connection between the ** team of Linzhong and the defenders of Teng County, and on the other hand, threaten Teng County from the flank. Keban's current actions are obviously not aimed at achieving this purpose, but still want to defeat the squadron in the north of the city before the reinforcements arrive, and then fight a decisive battle with our army.

"Has the Seventy-Fifth Brigade already started moving?" Zhuang Jihua looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked Guan Linzheng.

Guan Linzheng put his hand on the battlement and looked at the firelight in the sky: "It is set at four o'clock in the morning." ”

Zhuang Jihua was speechless, and Pang Bingxun sighed: "Deputy Commander Zhuang, do you want to send another force from Linlin to reinforce the 59th Army?" I fear that he may not be able to hold on, and if he can, our 40th Army is willing to take on this responsibility. ”

"Oh," Zhuang Jihua looked at Pang Bingxun with some surprise.

"Legion Commander!" Wang Shouwu was a little anxious, the remaining men of the Forty Army now were less than 3,000 people, and if they fought again, they would be completely gone: "Although it is dangerous, we don't have much strength." Even if we filled it all in, it wouldn't do much. ”

Pang Bingxun sighed, but Zhuang Jihua laughed and joked: "I heard that Commander Pang has a suspicion of General Zhang, it seems that the rumors are wrong." ”

"That's not it, we formed in the Central Plains War," Pang Bingxun did not shy away from saying down-to-earth: "However, when I was in difficulty a few days ago, I sent troops to help me regardless of my previous suspicions, and now that he is in trouble, I can't stand idly by." ”

Zhuang Jihua showed a smile on his face: "Ten years of civil war, the lives of the people are miserable, it is the shame of my generation of soldiers, and now it is the duty of my generation of soldiers to resist external humiliation, and the previous grievances and grievances should be thrown away, and Commander Pang and General Chen should be the models of our generation." ”

When Zhuang Jihua said this, he stared at Guan Linzheng. Guan Linzheng's face was hot, remembering his words and deeds last night. I was a little ashamed. But his personality decides. will no longer admit mistakes as Pang Bingxun.

"Captain Pang. Your Forty Army has done its best. I think the 73rd Brigade will go for reinforcements. Deputy Commander Zhuang. What do you think? Guan Lin requisitioned another way to express his attitude to Zhuang Jihua again.

"Comparatively. Pro is more important. The 73rd Brigade should remain to defend the Pro. Reinforcements are up to us. "Pang Bingxun seems to be very selfless. How could more than 2,000 people in his land help Zhang Zizhong survive tonight.

"You all don't fight." Zhuang Jihua interrupted them: "Zhang Chen and Gui Ting can withstand tonight. I'm going to see how Itagaki ends tomorrow. ”

The board is indeed a bit difficult to ride a tiger. Stormland attacks have little effect. The squadron struggled to resist. Fight to the death. Unless all the people on the ground are dead. The resistance will not stop. Fight until dawn. The 5th Division captured the villages of Daxiaoli. The 2nd Division retreated to Hongjiadian and Tangtun; However, the 16th Division of the 59th Army did not make any progress. The Zaogoutou position stood still.

Four o'clock in the morning. Sanguan Temple. Ship Shadow Nakatsuna. The 3177th Regiment of the 75th Brigade quietly crossed the river here. Dozens of boats set sail for the opposite shore. to the middle of the river. The Japanese alert unit found out. A fierce battle ensued. Xu Lijun, deputy commander of the 3177th Regiment, was in the first wave of attack troops. He immediately commanded his troops to return fire. Artillery fire from the shore was also fiercely fired at the opposite shore.

Perhaps the main force of the Japanese army turned to the north, and the resistance here was not fierce, and the first attack wave quickly rushed to the opposite bank, and then led his troops to Xu Lijun to quickly conquer the Qianqigou, and then launched an attack on Sanhe Street.

The quick knife inserted from behind made Itagaki feel painful, and Itagaki was forced to transfer the Xiukou Brigade of the 43rd Wing of the Reserve Army to Sanhe Street to support, and at the same time ordered to strengthen the attack on Hongjiadian and Tangtundi.

The 21st Wing Wing Captain Kuri Fan Dazuo personally came to the front of Hongjiadian, commanded the troops to launch a wave of attacks on Hongjiadian, several times rushed into Hongjiadian, the tragic white-knuckle battle unfolded in all corners of the village, the defenders could not stand on their feet, and were gradually pressed out of the village, Zheng Dongguo urgently transferred the reserve - the 6th Brigade and 18th Regiment to counterattack, and drove the Japanese army out of the village again, and the battle in the north of the city went to ** again.

The sky turned slightly white, this difficult night was finally coming to an end, Zhuang Jihua let out a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched his waist fiercely, the battle situation is not too bad so far, although some progress has been made in the onslaught of the ground all night, even if the front of our army is shaky, the battle line is still continuous.

Zhuang Jihua looked at Chengbei, a sneer appeared on his face, Itagaki your good days are over.

"Telegraphed to Commander Li in the theater of operations, I have decided to launch a counteroffensive in Lin and defeat the board within three days." After returning to the headquarters, Zhuang Jihua's first sentence showed his determination, and without waiting for Guan Linzheng and Pang Bingxun to speak, he said again: "Call Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang over." ”

Sun Liren arrived at Lin shortly after the start of the counterattack at Sanguanmiao, and Liao Yaoxiang arrived at Lin half an hour after him, and both were sent by Zhuang Jihua

By now, the New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division had all arrived to rest.

"How? How well are you resting? ”

Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang came in and were just about to raise their hands to salute, when Zhuang Jihua asked as soon as he waved his hand. Sun Liren immediately understood what Zhuang Jihua meant: "Report, the situation of the troops is very good, together with the baggage regiment, all have arrived, please ask the deputy commander to issue a combat order." ”

Liao Yaoxiang's face was slightly red: "Our baggage regiment and heavy artillery regiment have not yet arrived, but the combat units have all arrived, please ask the deputy commander to issue a combat mission, and our new 22nd Division guarantees to complete the task." ”

Zhuang Jihua beckoned Guan Linzheng and Pang Bingxun to the map: "Today we began to carry out a counteroffensive against Banyuan, Banyuan has been fighting for two months since landing in Qingdao, without any rest, in two months, they fought all the way to Lin, traveling thousands of miles, and they made mistakes again. In my opinion, they should have rested for a week or two after conquering Jinan, but they didn't. In Jinan, they left a brigade, and in the whole of Jiaodong, they also left only one brigade, and each soldier had to guard at least four or five square kilometers of land, and their rear was unstable. Specific to the board, he is far away from the northern front, and even if the Japanese army reacts to reinforce him, it will take ten days and half a month to arrive, which can be said to be a lone army, unless Ryosuke Isoya is allowed to give up the offensive. ”

"You see, the plate troops are scattered in the vast area from Fenghuangling to Zaogoutou, and the main force is north of the city; To defeat Itagaki is to destroy his main force first, so the main battlefield of this operation is in the north of the city, but I don't want to go head-to-head with him, so my thoughts are as follows. The 85th Army attacked Fenghuangling, and the 73rd Brigade crossed the river, landed at Qiaofang, and cooperated with the 75th Brigade to capture Sanhe Street from the flank; The New 22nd Division immediately reinforced the 59th Army as the main force for a frontal counterattack; The new 38th Division joined the Hedong Battlefield, attacked along the river, rotated right at Taoyuan and Xiaoguanzhuang, detoured to Phoenix Ridge from the flank and rear, and cooperated with the frontal 85th Army to eliminate the 9th Brigade. This was the first phase of the campaign, and after the completion of this stage, the Japanese army in Hedong should be wiped out, and our Hedong Army quickly crossed the river and attacked Itagaki from the rear, which was the second phase of the operation. ”

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he looked up at Guan Linzheng and the others. Guan Linzheng looked at the map and thought for a while and asked: "Our army actually only has to attack the 75th Brigade of Sanhe Street, once Itagaki finds that Hedong is in danger and counterattacks, I am afraid it will be difficult for one brigade to stop it." ”

"Commander Guan is extremely worried," Pang Bingxun nodded and said, "If Itagaki counterattacks with the main force, it will be difficult for one brigade of the 75th Brigade to block it." ”

"Itagaki's counterattack is not terrible, the four brigades of the new 38th Division, leaving one brigade to assist the 75th Brigade, and the remaining three brigades to cooperate with the 85th Army to attack is enough, Commander Guan, you personally command the 25th Division and the new 38th Division to cooperate with the troops, be sure to block the counterattack, Commander Pang, the 40th Army is still stationed in Lin, and the troops that can fight will be formed into a regiment as a reserve for the entire counterattack. General Zhang Zizhong commanded the 59th Army, the 2nd Division, and the New 22nd Division. The counterattack began at 11 o'clock in the afternoon, and the Hedong counterattack was personally commanded by me. ”

Guan Linzheng, Pang Bingxun, Sun Liren, and Liao Yaoxiang agreed in unison, Guan Linzheng took the lead in turning around and leaving, and then Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang also left one after another.

The troops outside the city began to adjust their movements, and Liao Yaoxiang's new 22nd Division made a detour to Weijiatun, braved the bombardment of the Japanese air force to cross the river at Jixi Village and Xiaozhuwu, and drove to Zaogoutou; Sun Liren's new 38th division was relatively close, and after crossing the river out of the city, it arrived at Sanguan Temple at about nine o'clock.

Sun Liren left the Fourth Brigade Zheng Bi as a reserve and attacked Taoyuan with the First Brigade Tan Zhenren; Zhao Maocai of the Second Brigade attacked Yubu; Li Hong of the 3rd Brigade attacked Jiangjiazhuang.

As soon as the Sanguanmiao counteroffensive began, Itagaki realized that Hedong was too far away from the northern theater of the city and was isolated in the field, so he ordered the Ninth Brigade to gradually shrink the strength of the Fenghuangling District, and the main force moved closer to the river, but the adjustment of Itagaki came too late, and the attack of the 85th Army made it impossible for the Ninth Brigade to withdraw and disengage for the time being, and moved to the east bank of the river.

Sun Liren's attack was therefore very smooth, a Japanese brigade could not stop his attack at all, less than an hour, three brigades successively conquered the target, the first brigade immediately attacked Xiaoguanzhuang, Sun Liren saw that the attack was smooth, the courage was immediately enlarged, with the second brigade and the third brigade to attack Xiefang; After the right flank Chen Naruto's regiment made contact with the 89th Division, it immediately turned to Yangjialing to attack.

After Zhuang Jihua turned the 85th Army from harassment to attack, Wang Zhonglian let go of his hands and feet, and attacked Fenghuangling with the main force of the 4th Division Chen Daqing along the Jade Emperor Temple, Shibei, and Dadianzi, while the 89th Division made a detour to the waterlogged pier and launched an attack on the flank.

To the east of the river, the squadron launched a fierce attack, the two armies descended the mountain like a tiger, and rushed straight to Phoenix Ridge, and the Ninth Brigade was stumbling on the left and right, struggling to resist, and by four o'clock in the afternoon, the flank completely collapsed. The new 38th Division completely cut off the flank of the 9th Brigade, the two squadrons were completely annihilated, and the remnants of the brigade leader Nakano were surrounded in Lengzhuang, and the new 38th Division successfully cut into the rear of the 9th Brigade.
