Although the Eighth Route Army had the upper hand on the surface, Chen Zhiheng and the others would never have imagined that there was now an infantry wing of the Japanese army on the left and right flanks of their 3rd Brigade, and it was not far from their position. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it was the 10th Division or the reorganized 2nd Division, its top brass wanted to eat all the troops on the opponent's front line, so that the enemy would be dismounted at the beginning of the war, so a larger battle had just begun, and it was unfortunate that the 3rd Brigade happened to become the center point of the outbreak of the war. Therefore, Yo Run does not know what awaits them, destruction or rebirth.

Yang Chengwu did not know that his 3rd Brigade was now facing the crisis of being dumpled by the Japanese army, and Lieutenant General Ueda was also unaware of the large number of China. The army had also reached the periphery of the battlefield, and the firepower was strong enough for his infantry division to be wiped out in a short time.

Originally, this battle was fought in a blur, and both sides were not prepared, but they both wanted to catch the other party off guard first and give the other party a dismount. Now that each other has calculated each other, and at the same time has been calculated by the other party, so now you can see it.

Not to mention the strange battle situation on the Xuanhua front, the news of the war between the Suicha Military Region and the Japanese army came, and the whole country was once again excited. The Nationalist Government and the Eighth Route Army, one in the south and one in the north, had a posture of a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army, which made the people who had suffered so much seem to see hope for peace.

Soon, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government held a press conference in Chongqing, at which Minister He, who was above the top, severely praised Ma Zheng and the Suicha Military Region, what a pillar of the country, what a model of the people, and a word of praise that was called a man who did not spend money, and pushed Ma Zheng in an uproar.

Now Ma Zheng's reputation has long been out, not to mention domestic, the vast majority of national elites abroad have also heard of Ma Zheng's name, so the National Government's praise of Ma Zheng is not open to it at all, but it still makes Ma Zheng very happy to hear the National Government praise it like this.

On the night of the 8th, the gunfire in Zhaojialiang Village, Xuanhua, gradually weakened. From the beginning of the 3rd Brigade of the reorganized 2nd Division in the afternoon, two infantry wings and an artillery wing of the Japanese army caught up with them, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in Zhaojialiang Village, which lasted for three hours.

Because the 3rd Brigade was on the defensive side, and the firepower was extremely fierce, the Japanese attacking troops suffered heavy losses, but the Japanese army was not afraid of life and death to launch charges again and again, and in just a few hours, they organized 7 group charges, which caused huge pressure on the 3rd Brigade and 1st Regiment, forcing Shi Wenhu to have to increase troops in Zhaojialiang Village.

However, the real danger came from the fact that after 9 o'clock in the evening, when the Japanese frontal attack gradually weakened, the reconnaissance unit found a large number of Japanese troops on the east and west sides of Zhaojialiang Village, and the 1st Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment in Zhaojialiang Village were in danger of being surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army.

The brigade headquarters of the Third Brigade is located in Laohufen Village, which is less than 10 miles away from Zhaojialiang Village, and the atmosphere in the entire brigade headquarters is extremely solemn.

Some staff officers believed that the Japanese army was now strong, and that it was less than 15 kilometers away from Xuanhua City, and that it was the most correct choice to retreat. However, there are also some officers who believe that staying in Zhaojialiang Village is the most correct choice, so that they can not only carry out the orders of the division headquarters, but also contain the Japanese army and create conditions for the follow-up troops.

"Lao Shi, whether to fight or withdraw, hurry up and get an idea, otherwise it will be too late!" Chen Zhiheng said loudly.

"Lao Chen, what do you think we should do now? Fight or withdraw? Shi Wenhu asked in a deep voice.

"According to my thoughts, it is wiser to retreat, after all, our strength is not yet able to resist a reinforced division of the Japanese army, you also know the situation from the front, the Japanese army on the front line of Zhaojialiang Village has at least 2 infantry wings and an artillery wing, and at least one infantry wing and one cavalry wing of the Japanese army on the west side, although the devil on the east side is less, but there is also an infantry wing, that is to say, there are more than 6 Japanese wings around our three brigades, and the total strength is close to twice ours, Whatever the reason, it is the right way to keep the number of the troops first. Chen Zhiheng said.

Shi Wenhu thought for a while and said: "Lao Chen, your thoughts are very reasonable, but I can't listen to you now, the Japanese devils have already put the bayonet on the head of the old lady, and the price of retreat is too great, it is better to stay and fight with the devils." Even if I want to die, I can't let the bullets of the little devils kill my brothers from behind, and the heroes who want to die die are heroic! ”

"But casualties..."Chen Zhiheng wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shi Wenhu.

"There is nothing but that, the crockpot does not break from the wellhead, and the general will inevitably die in battle. Since we have become soldiers and put on this military uniform, we are China's national defense force, and the only thing we can do in this situation is not to retreat, but to straighten our chests and fight with the Japanese devils to the end. ”

"Yes, life is not stopped, the battle is endless! When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. Chen Zhiheng said loudly.

Shi Wenhu said loudly: "Pass my order, the brigade headquarters and the second regiment immediately go south to reinforce Zhaojialiang Village, and we will throw ourselves into the net, don't the little devils want to swallow us in one bite, the old lady won't believe it, see if their copper teeth are hard or our iron heads are powerful." In addition, a telegram was sent to the division headquarters, informing them that our army was besieged by more than six Japanese troops, and requesting an immediate increase in troops. ”

"Yes!"

After three years of fighting against Japan, Shi Wenhu actually did not look down on the Japanese army in North China, he took a small number of small detachments to go deep into the Longtan Tiger's Den many times, and witnessed the strong rise of the Eighth Route Army in front of him, so in Shi Wenhu's view, the Japanese army is actually not terrible.

Coupled with his confidence in the main force of the reorganized Second Division, she believed that the division headquarters would not watch their third brigade be annihilated by the Japanese army. Instead of not, they will take advantage of this opportunity to make a big fuss.

Sure enough, not long after the dispatch of the report, the headquarters of the reorganized 2nd Division quickly responded, ordering the 3rd Brigade to hold off the 10th Division of the Japanese Army at all costs, and the main force could arrive in an hour at most.

"Boom Boom"

Looking at the blown up dirt in the telescope and the severed arm and stump mixed in the dirt, Major General Hojo was in a good mood, although the casualties in this battle were indeed a bit large, but the effort was always rewarded, didn't the people of China become a dish on his plate now, just a branch infantry brigade, as long as it entered his pocket, it was so easy to fly out.

"Order: The artillery wing will suppress the artillery fire for ten minutes, and the chariot troops will charge, and be sure to completely annihilate the opposite Zhina troops before the arrival of the reinforcements of the Zhina people!" Major General Hojo said loudly.

"Hay!"

At the headquarters of Zhaojialiang Village, the high-level leaders of the Third Brigade looked at the battle outside with a pale face. News has just come that Huang Zhiqiang, deputy commander of the 1st Regiment and commander of the 1st Battalion, was frontally concentrated by Japanese artillery shells at the front and died on the spot, leaving not even a whole corpse.

In addition, the air-raid shelter where a platoon of the third battalion of the regiment was located was blown up by the Japanese artillery, and all the soldiers of a platoon were buried in the hole, and when they were dug out, they all suffocated to death, and in less than half an hour, the troops suffered more than 300 casualties, and this number is still rising in a straight line.

"Send a report to the division headquarters and ask when reinforcements will arrive?" Shi Wenhu said loudly.

Soon the operator came back with a telegram: "Brigade commander, the division headquarters has called back, the 2nd Brigade and the Cavalry Brigade have left Xuanhua, and they will arrive in 40 minutes at most, but the command hopes that our 3rd Brigade can delay for a while longer to buy time for other troops to encircle the Japanese army in a roundabout way." ”

Shi Wenhu and Chen Zhiheng glanced at each other, and finally said: "Call back to the division headquarters immediately, just say that our 3rd Brigade can still hold on, and swear to complete the task!" ”

"Boom, boom!" Several shells exploded outside the brigade headquarters, blowing up the radio antenna of the headquarters, and at the same time startling the brigade guard battalion, but fortunately the Japanese shells missed, and if the shells hit another 50 meters to the east, the entire headquarters of the 3rd Brigade would be killed.
