Chapter 804: First Strike, Stronger
The battle on the frontal position in Taierzhuang made this Isogu devil feel very confused, he originally thought that through this feint and temptation, he could easily test how many main forces of the Chinese army here in Taierzhuang were? After launching a general attack in this way, he had a plan in his heart, and he could besiege the main forces of these Chinese troops in Taierzhuang in a targeted manner, but now it seems that his plan has gone bankrupt, and the commander of the opponent's Chinese army has seen his intentions, he is stealing chickens and rice this time, seeing that the time for the general attack is approaching, the devil of Isoya immediately ordered to stop the tentative feint on the frontal position, retreat, and make a little preparation, and will start the general attack soon!
This tentative feint not only did not let the Isogu devils judge the main force of the Chinese army here in Taierzhuang, but instead lost a lot of the devil's strength in vain, with the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the direction of Xuzhou, Han Fei's heart became more and more bottomed, this time if Itagaki Seishiro who came from the direction of Shandong could not even rush here, then the Isogu devil would be difficult to fly away even if he put on his wings, at this moment on the bank of the canal, four armies have been assembled, eight divisions of nearly 150,000 main forces, Compared with the number of devils in Isogu, it is eight to one, and there is no problem at all in surrounding the devils, but to completely annihilate this group of devils, it depends on the specific battle situation.
More than ten minutes before the launch of the general attack, the devils of Isogu finally learned that a large number of the main forces of the Chinese army had arrived in front of them, according to the estimation of the staff of the devils, the main force of the Chinese army gathered on the bank of the canal was at least 100,000 people, several times more than their own divisions, so the chiefs of staff of these devils persuaded Isoya one after another: "Your Excellency the division commander, the enemy is numerous, the number is several times greater than ours, the terrain here is narrow, which is not conducive to the development of our troops, it is very unfavorable for us to launch a strong attack at this moment, it is better to withdraw here, Where in Teng County, it's not too late to wait for the arrival of the Itagaki Division to launch an attack! ”
The Isoya devil already regretted it a little, and he had the intention of retreating, but the staff officer next to him suddenly brought up this Itagaki Division, and at that time he felt that his face could not fall, and if he retreated, wouldn't he be ashamed of that Itagaki if he retreated, and the title of "Steel Army" of his own army was not for nothing, was it ruined here in Taierzhuang like this?
This guy is also a good face, and when he thinks about it, he feels that he can't withdraw, and if he does this, he will have to fight with the main force of the Chinese army in front of him before it is too late, so he shook his head and said to the staff officers around him: "Can't withdraw!" Although the main force of the Chinese army on the opposite side is outnumbered, they are all rabble people who have no combat effectiveness and will to fight, as long as we use fierce firepower to smash their main position on the side of the canal, then they will collapse on the whole line, when we attacked Shandong, didn't we often encounter such a situation? ”
Hearing what Isoya said, the staff officers around him were silent, it was indeed the case, when their division and regiment were fighting from North China to the south, there had been such a situation more than once along the way, once at the junction of Shandong and Hebei, the same hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops blocked the way of their division, but it was only a battle, and the main force of hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops on the opposite side immediately collapsed and fled, and later a small team in their division was able to easily capture a regiment of Chinese troops, There are not too many such situations, so it must be the same here in Taierzhuang, right?
It is said that the devil has a problem, called a tendon, and the habitual thinking is very serious, thinking that it was often like this before, and this time it should be the same in Taierzhuang, but I don't know that since the Nanjing Massacre, the Chinese soldiers and civilians everywhere have been awakened by the brutality of the devil, especially here in Taierzhuang, Chief Li and Chief Bai The local miscellaneous military units under their command are even more hated by the devils. Because everyone understands that if they run away when they see the devil again this time, they will probably lose their heads, not only will they not be able to spare him, but even the saliva of the people below will drown them.
To win a war, the factor of weapons and equipment is of course very important, but the courage and morale of the soldiers are more important, and the potential of people is unlimited, once it is stimulated, it will burst out of the previously incredible ability, this time near Taierzhuang, all the main forces of the Chinese army have formed an atmosphere of hatred and hatred for the enemy, Han Fei has clearly felt this atmosphere, and the central army units that did not obey orders to rush to reinforcements in the past have been able to throw away heavy equipment and rush to rush to this point has already shown this, This time, Han Fei thought that the victory was decided, just to see the size of the victory, if he fought well, he should be able to completely annihilate this Isogu Division!
Now that Han Fei already knew the time when the devil launched the general attack, he saw that the main force nearby was basically in place, so he decided to start in advance, and the main force of the devil at this moment was in a state of assembly before the general attack, and it was at the weakest moment!
Han Fei immediately ordered the heavy artillery regiment in the theater of operations: concentrate all artillery fire, cover the main positions of the devils on the bank of the canal, and prepare for artillery fire for more than twenty minutes!
Good guy, this time Han Fei is not going to live with the heavy artillery regiment, this kind of prodigal practice has never been done before, although the old commander of the heavy artillery regiment Li did not understand Han Fei's order, but he still resolutely carried it out, after all, now Han Fei is the supreme commander of the Taierzhuang Theater, if he doesn't listen to his order, he can't live with his own life, start fighting!
A sharp whistling sound pierced the sky above Han Fei's heads, and a group of black crows smashed down into the devil's position that was gathering in front, almost at the same time, the two armies that had rushed to the bank of the canal began to launch a fierce attack on the devil's position, tens of thousands of horses rushed towards the devil's position from all directions at the same time, that scene Han Fei saw for the first time in his life, and the most magnificent scene he had seen before crossing over was only a joint military exercise of thousands of people, this time it was tens of thousands of horses attacking at the same time, the sound of shelling, The shouts resounded in the sky, the trumpets of the charge came and went, and the signal flares hit the air one after another, all of which were exciting to see!
Seeing that the main forces nearby had already begun to attack, Liu Ruye and Li Dagang were a little anxious, why hadn't it been their turn yet, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to eat this meat, so they hurriedly ran over and asked Han Fei: "Chief Han, why haven't we launched an attack yet?" ”
