The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing, and Section 5 Assault

As soon as Zhuang Jihua gave an order, the squadron that had already sharpened its knives immediately dispatched, and the 200,000 army was like a tiger out of a cage, and went straight to Mengcheng Huainan. \、Qｂ⑤.coM\

Li Wentian was a veteran of the Northwest Army and the deputy commander of Zhang Zizhong, and he took the lead with the newly arrived 30th and 50th Divisions, followed up by the 3rd and 4th Qing Army, and attacked Huainan along the passage north of the Ying River and south of the Huai River, and attacked Fengtai and Shou County.

Sun Zhen is completely different, after the battle of northern Hubei, the confidence of the 22nd Group Army is high, after accepting the task of attacking Bengbu, the morale is even stronger, and the veterans in the army still remember that five years ago, in the first Jinpu Road operation, they retreated all the way from Bengbu, and now they can recover Bengbu with their own hands.

Sun Zhen did not sit back and wait for Zhuang Jihua's order, from the day he accepted the order, he took the initiative to secretly intersperse the 122nd and 123rd divisions of the 41st Army to the side of Mengcheng, the 122nd Division was hidden north of the Vortex River, and the 123rd Division was hidden south of the Vortex River, ready to attack at any time.

The Japanese army was so empty that it was impossible to form a dense defensive line, especially around the city of Mongolia, where there were 2,000 Japanese troops, and this was because the city was the front line, and the strength was twice that of the other garrisons; Said that there are a lot of troops, but compared to the vast area around Mengcheng, this point of strength is like a little water falling into the vortex river, so they had to rely on the puppet army, after the battle of northern Hubei, the army headquarters was sent to report urgently, and the peace rescue ** was very unreliable in the face of the regular army of China, so the commander of the Japanese army in Mengcheng Kanai simply drove most of the puppet army out of the city and let them defend in various villages and towns.

After the Battle of Northern Hubei and the recovery of Henan, the Anhui puppet army was greatly panicked, and the puppet army stationed in Mengcheng was the second division of the Xingya Army, although the number was not small, the strength was only 2,000 people, and the division commander Zheng Shuliang was secretly rebelled by the military commander. The 122nd and 132nd Divisions, with the assistance of the puppet army, secretly detoured back to the side of Mengcheng and hid on both sides of the Vortex River.

When the order was given, the 123rd Division quickly conquered Shuangjian Town, which had only more than 100 Japanese troops, and cut off the way for the defenders of Mengcheng to retreat to Bengbu, while the 122nd Division of Hebei occupied Wangji without blood, and then the 123rd Division went upstream, and pounced on Mengcheng from Hebei.

When the 122nd and 123rd Divisions began to operate behind enemy lines, the 124th Division, which was responsible for the frontal attack, took only one day to pull out all the Japanese strongholds outside the city and knock directly under the city.

Sun Zhen didn't take the 2,000 Japanese troops in Mengcheng in his eyes at all, and let Zeng Suyuan, the commander and deputy commander of the 41st Army, be responsible for directing the attack on Mengcheng, and he recklessly bypassed Mengcheng and the 122nd Division and rushed straight to Huaiyuan.

The 122nd Division was invincible in the north of the Vortex River, almost the same bloodless occupation, occupying Shuangqiao, Baoji, bypassing Sifang Lake, and reaching the north outside Huaiyuan City before evening, looking at Huaiyuan across the Vortex River.

The 45th Army smashed the resisting Japanese troops along the way, conquered Hetao Town, and then divided its troops into two routes, and the 125th Division went down the south bank of the Vortex River and knocked directly under Huaiyuan City. The 126th and 127th divisions were led by the army commander Chen Dingxun, crossed the Ci River, forcibly crossed the Huai River at Huangtongyao, unexpectedly conquered Macheng, and went up along the east bank of the Huai River.

In the middle of summer, the sun is like fire, on both sides of the Huai River, the cannon roars, the breeze blows, the military flag hunts, and the army gallops vertically and horizontally. In the sky, warplanes whistled and bombs fell.

The war has gone through six years with heavy steps, six years ago, the Japanese wolves rushed forward, the squadron retreated step by step, in the sky, the wings painted with red spots of the Japanese planes, bombarded indiscriminately, the squadron could only bear the Japanese army round after round of bombing, attack with a tenacious will.

Six years have passed, and now the situation is completely reversed, in the sky, Chinese fighters soar, diving and bombing again and again; On the ground, 10,000 cannons fired in unison, and the squadron was in high spirits, expelling the Japanese and returning our rivers and mountains. The Japanese soldiers silently hid in the trenches and on the city walls, bearing the attack of the squadron round after round.

In the smoke of gunpowder, the 123rd Division rushed into Mengcheng after two attacks, and Cao Yang, the commander of the assault company, led his troops to chase the Japanese army, and ran into two young men head-on, who seemed to not pay attention to the flying bullets at all, holding a small national flag in his hand, and running with laughter.

“****…。”

"What kind of mess are you going to go home" Cao Yang knew at a glance that it was a young student, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, now that the battle was fierce, he didn't have the energy to take care of them at all.

"Let's lead the way"

"I know the devil's headquarters is there, let's lead the way"

"Go" Cao Yang didn't care, with a company of people, under the guidance of the young people, along a small alley, bypassing the devil's barricade, and quietly killing in front of the devil's headquarters.

"Boom" exploded twice in a row, blowing a big hole in the courtyard wall of the Devil Command, and Cao Yang rushed into the Devil Command first. Gunfire rang out in the headquarters, and explosions continued one after another.

"** is back" "Our army is back" The ancient city of Mongolia is boiling, no one calls, no one organizes, the people of Mengcheng, who have been oppressed for five years, open the gate, brave the rain of bullets to go to the street to lead the way for the Chinese soldiers, smash open the courtyard wall of their own hands, let the Chinese soldiers pass through, go around the back of the Japanese army to attack, or brave the rain of bullets to rush to the front line and transport the wounded down.

In the afternoon, the puppet army defected, shooting in the Japanese position, the Japanese army was in chaos, the peripheral squadron took advantage of the situation to tear open the Japanese defense line, rushed into the Japanese headquarters, and opened up the contact with the assault company that was fighting hard in the headquarters, and at sunset, the gunfire in Mengcheng stopped, and the blue sky and white sun flag were raised in the Japanese headquarters building.

Zeng Suyuan left a company to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the troops reorganized overnight and drove towards Huaiyuan.

After the battle of Mengcheng, the 2,000 Japanese army was annihilated, which made Nishio Shou cause an accident, and even more surprised Zhuang Jihua, and the combat effectiveness of the squadron rose so fast

"Brother Yan Mou, when did this little devil make tofu?" Zhuang Jihua took Zeng Suyuan's telegram, still a little unconvinced, you must know that in the battle of northern Hubei not long ago, even if you want to annihilate a large group of Japanese troops in the field, the troops have to invest at least 5,000 people, pay about 2,000 casualties, and it will take at least two days, but now the Japanese army in Mengcheng has existing fortifications, and the squadron belongs to the fortifications, and it actually eats 2,000 Japanese troops in one day, which is too amazing.

"Let Sun Zhen check and ask the prisoners, how did this battle go?" Xu Zuyi was also surprised, the decline in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was predicted, but the decline was not so much, so fast.

Unexpectedly, Sun Zhen called back very quickly and was very unceremonious and straightforward, "I didn't catch the prisoner, the people of the whole city helped in the war, and the devil who was wounded and captured was beaten to death by the people." ”

"Forget it, summarize it slowly in the future, telegraph to Sun Zhen, pay attention to Bengbu's army to aid Huaiyuan, the rest, I have nothing, conquer Huaiyuan tomorrow." Zhuang Jihua did not pursue it, the troops of the Fifth Theater developed a habit after the counterattack in Yucheng, leaving no prisoners of war, when Li Zongren was in charge of the Fifth Theater, he tried to change this habit, Zhuang Jihua's old troops were in disobedience, and only the newly arrived troops kept prisoners.

In the Battle of Northern Hubei Province, more than 100,000 Japanese troops were wiped out, but in the end, only the 86th Army and the 94th Army of the upper Yangtze River command captured more than 70 prisoners, and the rest of the troops did not capture a single prisoner.

"The cunning and cunning general of Bagezhina" Zhuang Jihua of Fuyang was happy, and the Nishio Shouzo in Nanjing City was uncomfortable, and after receiving the news of the jade shattering of the defenders of Mengcheng, Nishio Shouzao was anxious and angry.

As soon as the 22nd Army appeared, it was so powerful that the Dispatch Army Command almost immediately concluded that this was the main direction of attack of General Shina, and Nishio Shouzo and Seishiro Itagaki also concluded that this was the main direction of attack of General Shina.

"Telegraphed Matsui Shigen to immediately send the 19th Division and the 46th Division south to reinforce Bengbu."

These two divisions were new to Shandong, and the 19th Division was transferred back from the Soviet Russian battlefield, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshiharu Ozaki; The 46th Division was transferred from China and had been stationed in Hokkaido until then, and the division commander was Senior General Akajima.

After the squadron launched an attack on Anqing, Nishio Shouzo secretly ordered the Shandong garrison to prepare for the south, and clearly required Matsui Shigen to gather no less than two divisions and be ready to go south at any time.

"General Zhina would definitely not have imagined that we did not transfer troops from Jiangnan, but from Shandong." Itagaki Seishiro also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing in the wisdom of Nishio Shouzo at the beginning.

"Report that the Shina Army blew up the railway bridge over the Chihe River, and the Jinpu line was cut off." Before the two of them could be happy, the staff officer sent a report that surprised them.

"Eight Grids"

"Report, the Mingguang garrison reported that the 92nd Army in the Shina Sulu Theater appeared in Guta, showing signs of attacking Linhuai Pass, and the 46th Army appeared in Jianxi, west of Mingguang, showing signs of attacking Mingguang."

"What?" Nishio Shouzo hurriedly walked to the map, Harem Jun marked the two points of the newly discovered Shina army on the map, but Itagaki Seishiro breathed a relaxed sigh, this is the right move, there are 400,000 troops in the Sulu Theater, and the commander of the theater, Guan Linzheng, is brave and good at fighting, since General Shina launched such an offensive, he will never turn a blind eye to this army.

"Commander, Bengbu is in danger." Itagaki Seishiro sighed and said that there were only 4,000 people in Bengbu City, and even if the 1,000 people reinforced by Dingyuan were added, there were only 5,000 people, but General China mobilized more than 100,000 people, and with the combat effectiveness shown by the 22nd Group Army in Mengcheng, it would never be possible to use so many troops, obviously General China was considering the possibility of reinforcements on the north and south fronts, and the 122nd Division that appeared north of the Vortex River would definitely intercept reinforcements on the northern front at that time, and the Shina Army attacking Mingguang would definitely come to cut off reinforcements on the southern front.

"Order, the 18th Division and the 11th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Regiment will set off immediately to reinforce Bengbu." Without the slightest hesitation, Nishio Shouzo ordered the reserves assembled near Nanjing to be dispatched.

"Commander ,...。" Itagaki Seishiro had just spoken, when he was interrupted by a staff officer who hurried in.

"The report is that the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Okamura, sent a telegram to refuse the 19th Division and the 46th Division to go south to reinforce Bengbu, and suggested that the 19th Division reinforce Xuzhou and the 46th Division reinforce Jining ......."

"What nonsense is he talking about, bastard" Nishio Shouzo's suppressed emotions were ignited, and he angrily snatched the telegram from the staff officer.

He believed that the main target of the general of China was probably Xuzhou, not just Bengbu. First of all, the general of China gathered no less than four army groups in the area of Shangqiu Yongcheng, and only one explanation for such a heavy group was to attack Xuzhou, and in addition, the elite troops of the Sulu Theater of China, the 47th Army and the newly formed 12th Army, did not know where to go, and it was humbled to believe that these two armies were likely to be in the canal area east of Xuzhou,......。 ”

At the end of the month, the monthly ticket can be voted out, and it is urgently called
