Chapter 217: The Battle Situation is Critical

In order to deal with the bombing of the Japanese planes, Lu Shaohui made targeted arrangements, and the position near the bridgehead must bear the brunt and will become the main target of the bombing of the Japanese planes, so full preparations must be made here, and the air-raid shelter must be strong and solid. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Elsewhere the troops were scattered in the woods along the river, and at the same time had to send observation posts to monitor the enemy while the Japanese planes bombed them, so that the enemy could take advantage of the opportunity to cross the river.

Because the attack did not go well, Yu Zhishan pinned all his hopes on the plane, and it was clear in the reply from the Ogizhou soldiers just now that the plane would soon arrive over the opponent's position, and this information also made Yu Zhishan, who was anxious, breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while, a buzzing sound sounded, and it got closer and closer, Lu Heng said in surprise; ''Listen, General, our plane is coming. ‘’

Yu Zhishan looked at the dense small black dots in the sky in the distance, his face softened, nodded and said; ''The Japanese have a bit of a conscience. ‘’

More than 20 planes in the sky gradually flew closer, and the roar of the planes could be clearly heard on the ground.

''Well fried. Yu Zhishan and Lu Heng were full of excitement, raised their heads and looked at the whistling plane, laughing, waiting for the next wave of attacks from the plane, but they waited left and right, but they never waited for the plane to turn back.

''Less than two minutes before and after, and that's it?'' Yu Zhishan and Lu Heng were relatively stunned, what is this special code?

''Signal soldiers, immediately send a telegram to the commander of the Ogisu Division, asking what is going on. Yu Zhishan said angrily.

''Yes, General. Seeing that Yu Zhishan was furious, the signal soldiers did not dare to slack off, and immediately started to operate.

After a short time, the signal corps received a call back, and handed it to Yu Zhishan with both hands, Yu Zhishan took it and looked at it, his face immediately turned red, and he suddenly angrily crumpled the telegram into a ball and threw it on the ground.

''General, what the hell is going on?'' What did the commander of the Ogishu Legistries say? Lu Heng said in surprise.

''How to say?'' That is to say, we are raised by our stepmothers. Yu Zhishan looked angry and said angrily; "The aviation was supposed to go to support the Bengbu front, and some of the planes had a little ammunition left, and by the way, they were thrown here, you say, isn't this a dispatch called Hanako?" ‘’

Lu Heng finally understood, and said calmly; ''General, please be calm, this is expected, who called us Chinese? ‘’

''Chinese? Chief of Staff, don't put gold on your face, what kind of Chinese are you? You are a Manchukuo. Yu Zhishan scoffed.

Lu Heng's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he said stupidly; ''I'm a person who doesn't hurt my uncle and doesn't love my grandmother.'' ‘’

''General, Chief of Staff, you've complained enough, let's think about how to attack.'' Chiba Nagago next to him said coldly.

''Your Excellency, you have also seen that we have no heavy weapons and no air support, how can we fight this battle?'' Do you want to fight for the lives of your brothers? Yu Zhishan asked rhetorically.

''General, pay attention to your words, wouldn't you have fought without heavy weapons and air support?'' You are passively avoiding war, do you want me to go to Commander Yan Junliu to sue you? Chiba Nagago said coldly.

Yu Zhishan's heart froze, thinking, this Chiba Changxiang can not bird him, but if he really catches his sore feet and reports it, then he will not be able to eat and walk around, it seems that he is still careless, he must be careful in the future, thinking of this, Yu Zhishan knows that he must attack, no matter what the result is, the attack must not stop, otherwise he will not have a good life.

Yu Zhishan glanced at Chiba Changxiang, and his heart was disgusted and helpless, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said; ''I order, the troops to intensify their attack, to be sure to crush the enemy. ‘’

Lu Shaohui and Situ Ming felt very strange about the air raid of the Japanese planes like a gust of wind, but they didn't have time to think about it, so the other side launched a crazy attack, and everyone ran out of the air-raid shelter one after another, and quickly returned to the position.

The sun gradually set in the west, the battle entered a white heat, the cannon rumbled, the guns and bullets rained, the bridgehead was full of the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and the soldiers attacking behind even used the corpses of their dead comrades as cover, but Lu Shaohui arranged more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns on the distant position, forming countless crossfire networks, and even a fly could not fly over, let alone people.

Yu Zhishan's troops also tried to build pontoon bridges and forcibly charged, but they were all mercilessly attacked by the Thunder Anti-Japanese vanguard. Seeing that night was falling, Yu Zhishan's troops were still at a loss, but the military orders of the Dizhou troops flew like snowflakes, all urging the Yu Zhishan Brigade to strengthen the attack and break through the enemy's defense line as soon as possible. Yu Zhishan had no choice but to execute, and his heart was ready for a night battle.

The Seventh Army and the 31st Army of the Nationalist Army on the front line of Bengbu attacked sharply and aggressively, and the Imperial Japanese Army suffered heavy casualties, and in just one day, more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded. The Yu Zhishan Brigade, which was ordered to come to the rescue, has remained in Xiaoxihe Town until now, struggling.

''Your Excellency General, I don't think the Yu Zhishan Brigade can be counted on, so let's withdraw the main force of the division from the north bank of the Huai River.'' Chief of Staff Yoshio Nakajima said in frustration.

Dizhou Libing kept pacing back and forth, his face was anxious, and he was undecided, he had fought the Huai River, and it took a lot of effort for him to give up easily, he was naturally unwilling, but Bengbu City absolutely could not afford to lose.

"Order the Zhishan Brigade to break through the enemy's line of defense before 12 o'clock tonight, and hurry to the designated position. ''Ogisu Libing said solemnly; In addition, let the main forces of the division on the north bank of the Huai River be ready to retreat at twelve o'clock at midnight, and if the Yuzhishan brigade cannot break through the enemy's defense line as scheduled, then they must quickly return to Bengbu. ‘’

Compared with the anxiety of the Dizhou Libing, Li Zongren in the city of Xuzhou in the north is much more relaxed, because all he got is good news, and the battle situation is developing in the direction he wants to see, first of all, the Seventh Army, the offensive of the 31st Army is like a bamboo, forcing the Dizhou Libing to have the idea of sending troops to rescue, and secondly, the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard resisted the offensive of the Yuzhishan Brigade, so that the Dizhou Libing completely broke off the idea of letting the Yuzhishan Brigade relieve the siege of Bengbu.

"If the Dizhou troops want to relieve the siege of Bengbu, the only thing they can count on is the main force of the 13th Division on the north bank of the Huai River, and now it seems that your plan has succeeded, you can not only draw out General Zhang Zizhong to support Linyi, but also drive the Japanese army on the southern front back to the south of the Huai River. Wang Hongshao, deputy chief of staff of the Fifth Theater, said excitedly, looking at Li Zongren's eyes full of admiration.

''Hehehe, this is the result of God bless my China, plus the lives of the soldiers of the three armies, I just did what I had to do, what is the way?'' Li Zongren said modestly; In fact, there are still certain variables, that is, the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard, as long as they can withstand the offensive of the Yuzhishan Brigade tonight, by tomorrow morning at the latest, the Dizhou troops will definitely withdraw from the north bank of the Huai River. ‘’

''This should be fine, didn't they blow up the baggage of the Japanese army?'' In this way, the Japanese army is a toothless tiger, with its appearance, with Liu Changfeng's weapons and equipment, and with the river to hold it, Yuzhishan has thousands of troops and horses, and the troops cannot be used, so it can be said that there is no suspense. Wang Hongshao said.

Li Zongren nodded slightly, slowly walked out of the headquarters, and looked up at the starry sky, as if praying to the heavens. (To be continued.) )
