Chapter 553: Slowly consume with the devil

Knowing that the southern position was also captured by the Eighth Route Army, Keisuke Fujie, who stayed in the town, was naturally extremely angry. While www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion immediately sent reinforcements to support, Keisuke Fujie also began to analyze the current situation that was very unfavorable for them.

From the fall of the eastern position to the current capture of the southern position, Keisuke Fujie also saw that the troops of the Fifth Theater were compressing their space for maneuver. If the positions in the west and north are also suppressed, it will be difficult for them to fight the next entrenchment battle.

Thinking of this, Keisuke Fujie, who didn't want a full-scale collapse, sent heavy troops to the southeast of the town again. As for the north-western direction, the same reinforcements were sent to strengthen the defense. Especially at the junction, it is strictly guarded.

This method of making amends is not too good, but it can be regarded as a timely response. It's just that for He Zhengdao, he didn't want to attack the town in one fell swoop tonight. After all, the next unit to attack was not his new 67th Army.

He Zhengdao, who only sent a reconnaissance regiment to occupy the southern position, also said with a smile: "To the east, order the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield, and pay attention to let our reconnaissance detachment take a look at the little devil mountain artillery position that has been shelled by us."

Don't waste those broken mountain artillery, if they can still be used, pull them to the mountain artillery battalion in our rear. After cleaning the battlefield, remember to disperse and hide the attacking troops, and do not rush to attack the town.

Let the sniper detachment dispatch a hundred snipers to lurk at the front of the little devil's blocking position. The next tactics, the same as before, just make the little devil feel pain. Can you kill one is one, understand? ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

In addition, send a reconnaissance battalion to make a tentative attack from our junction with the western position, and share the pressure on the 77th Army. At the same time, let Lin Tie and them pay attention to the enemy situation and troop deployment in the northwest position. ’

'Yes! Now that the southeast direction has been broken through by us, I think the little devil is not easy to guard! ’

'A hundred-legged worm, dead but not stiff!' What we are doing now is only bleeding the little devil, not giving him a fatal blow. Take the position in the south, and we can be counted as having an explanation. All that's left is to give the troops a good rest.

By the way, send a telegram to the 1st Division, telling Zhang Cheng to fight more sports warfare. If appropriate, you can let the little devil go. Let them go for a while, and then beat them for a while, and be sure to take care to reduce the casualties of the troops.

At the same time, don't forget to send a telegram to the theater command, hoping that they can urgently send a batch of medicines. Although we still have some medicines to carry, if we continue like this, I am afraid that they will not be enough.

Now that we've done what we're supposed to do, it's time to ask Li Zongren for some benefits. Regarding the treatment of wounded soldiers, let our rear hospitals take good care of them, and remember to report in time if there is any need. ’

In He Zhengdao's opinion, his troops will not participate in the next battle to attack the town. It's just that about retaliation, He Zhengdao is still prepared. That is, he wanted the head of Keisuke Fujie, the head of the division commander.

Since this new division commander of the 16th Division is as hateful as Nakajima Imago, who was beheaded by Song Yuping before. Then He Zhengdao must let these division commanders know that the consequences of easily slaughtering the people are very serious.

The one responsible for carrying out the beheading task is also the saber special combat team under He Zhengdao who is also waiting for revenge. It's just that it's not yet time to strike. In tonight's battle, the saber was also not involved, and they were all resting.

In He Zhengdao's view, tomorrow is the day that really needs to be hard-working. The 71st Army, which served as the main attacker, wanted to attack the town where the main force of the Little Devil Division was stationed, and this errand was only afraid that the 71st Army would feel a toothache.

Even if He Zhengdao still has some troops in his hands that can be sent to the battlefield, He Zhengdao always remembers that he can't be too showy. This time he joined the Fifth War Zone, he had already proved his strength and played the morale of the Eighth Route Army.

If the credit for the encirclement and annihilation of the 16th Division is taken together, where will the other troops of the Fifth Theater be left at that time?

Proper concealment is still very necessary. What's more, the troops have been fighting continuously for such a long time, and they have reached a limit. Taking the opportunity to take a break, He Zhengdao still felt that it would help the troops to restore their combat effectiveness.

Li Zongren, who had just received the news that the 51st Army had taken the eastern position, also felt that the 51st Army was fighting well. Even if it's just a small outlying village, it's good news.

But not long after, the training staff officer brought another telegram and reported: "Sir, a telegram from Commander He of the 67th Army." They have captured the positions deployed by the little devils in the south, and eliminated the nearly 2,000 little devils deployed there. ”

Li Zongren, who heard this, said with a little surprise when he received the telegram: "What? The southern position was also taken? ”

'Yes, sir! This time, the 51st Army and the 67th Army should be a joint operation. Not long after the 51st Army took the eastern position, the 67th Army also attacked from the junction of the two positions, and finally captured the southern position of the little devil in one fell swoop.

The only difference is that the little devils seem to have more troops deployed in the southern position than in the eastern position. It's really unbelievable that the 67th Army still has such an attack power until now. ’

According to the information reported by He Zhengdao, they had less than two main regiments in the combat area. With this strength alone, it was indeed surprising to take a position defended by two Japanese infantry brigades.

Many officers and soldiers of the Central Committee who have dealt with the Japanese army know that even if the strength of one of their regiments is more than that of an infantry brigade of little devils. But when it comes to offensive and defensive battles, they are often the ones who lose.

The 51st Army gathered the main force of one and a half divisions and captured a village garrisoned by only one infantry brigade in one fell swoop, and Li Zongren was not too surprised. But He Zhengdao also followed closely to take the southern position with that little force, which was indeed a little surprising to him.

Through this situation, Li Zongren can also see that the troops under He Zhengdao have been able to truly compete with the Japanese army when fighting against the Japanese army. In many cases, both offensive and defensive Eighth Route Army must have a more advantage.

It was only at the back of the telegram that Ho Zhengdao said that his troops were no longer able to fight and needed to rest. At the same time, he also hoped that when the war zone also urgently provided a batch of medicines, Li Zongren also knew that it would not work if he did not give some benefits.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Let the material department mobilize a batch of medicines and transport them to the 67th Army tomorrow." It's true that they are strong in combat, but the little devils are not vegetarians. After this battle, I am afraid that the 67th Army also needs to rest.

It is not yet known how long their main division, the first division, will be able to hold up to the front. It is now less than four hours until dawn. Send a telegram to the 51st Army and order them to step up their offensive and try not to make the little devils in the town feel better.

At the same time, a telegram was sent to the 77th Army, hoping that they would make a breakthrough as soon as possible. Also, has the 71st Army arrived at the attack position now? According to the time, they should have arrived at this time, right? ”

Half an hour ago, we sent a telegram asking for it, and we haven't received a call back! ’

'Send another telegram to ask!' If they arrive, let them rest and attack after dawn. When the time comes, the other attacking troops on the other three sides will also appropriately share some pressure on them.

As long as the town can be completely surrounded, it will be such a palm-sized place, and I see how the little devils can defend it. With nearly 100,000 troops, I just use the tactics of a sea of people, and I want to drown the little devils. ’

Seeing that the 51st Army and He Zhengdao had made breakthroughs, Li Zongren also breathed a sigh of relief. Through this victory, he also has a little more confidence in victory. Therefore, Li Zongren gradually relaxed, and planned to steadily encircle and annihilate the remaining Japanese army.

On the other hand, the 77th Army and the 71st Army, who learned the news at this moment, also felt a little incredible. In Feng Zhi'an's opinion, although there are not many little devils who are responsible for blocking them, their firepower is indeed very strong.

After several rounds of attacks, his troops can also be described as suffering heavy losses. Just when they were about to fight with the little devils, a message from the 67th Army made Feng Zhi'an's whole expression not good.

'Raised by a dog*mother, the little devil has increased his troops again! ’

Originally, I expected to slowly wear down with the little devils, and after consuming the defenders of their positions, I would concentrate the main force to break through the Japanese positions in one fell swoop. As a result, the little devil was not stupid, and soon sent reinforcements to the western position to support the operation.

This means that they fought for a long time, and the defenders of the little devils fought more and more. This kind of news will make Feng Zhi'an a little frustrated, which is also a normal thing!

Qiu Jingshan, who once again served as the operational staff officer of the headquarters, also said in a timely manner: "Military seat, the little devils are increasing their troops at this time, and they are afraid that we will take their positions." It's just that in this way, we can't continue to fight like this.

When the liaison officer of the 67th Army came over earlier, I also had a few words with him. Originally, I wanted to ask them to send troops to the side, but the liaison said that they did not have many troops deployed here, and they were afraid that they would not be able to provide us with much support.

However, at our junction with them, Commander He also sent a reconnaissance battalion to raid and harass. Having them in that position can also take a little bit of pressure off our shoulders. It's just that this position is too small, and we can't pull the open frame to play! ”

'Yes! The few key positions chosen by the little devil are indeed very powerful. In addition, we don't have artillery in our hands, so if we want to capture their positions, we really have to gnaw a little bit. What a grievance this battle has been! ’

The victories of the 51st Army and the 67th Army did put a kind of pressure on Feng Zhi'an. Even his troops were the last of the three to arrive on the battlefield. But Feng Zhi'an also knew that they couldn't take the western position, which was somewhat embarrassing.

It's just that the current situation is like this, even if Feng Zhi'an wants to settle the battle quickly. But he also understands that the little devil is not so easy to fight. As for asking the 67th Army for help, he couldn't open that mouth.

What's more, Qiu Jingshan has already made it very clear that the 67th Army is also powerless now. Thinking about this period of time, they have been fighting continuously for so long, Feng Zhi'an can also understand the difficulties of the 67th Army.

At this moment, the troops who were heading south from the town for reinforcements crashed into the minefield and retreated decisively. This also means that the Japanese army holding on to the town has chosen to give up recapturing the blocking position in the southeast! (To be continued.) )
