Section 6 Crisis and Opportunity for Victory III

Death roared in the night sky, the cold earth was scorched, and buildings collapsed in the firelight; In the sound of explosions, gunpowder smoke filled the air, the trenches were blown up, the bunkers were split, and the fire points were overturned. Hundreds of cannons fired a two-hour salvo, and when the smoke cleared, the land was in shambles, and the village on the opposite side was almost wiped out.

The whistling gradually became clear from afar, and a blue sky and white sun flag emerged from the gradually dissipating gunsmoke, moving quickly towards the village, and behind the flag were a large group of soldiers in gray military uniforms. The bayonets glistened in the rising sun, and the soldiers, with their young faces hideous, shouted words that they did not know very well, and ran towards Zhuangzi.

The Japanese army in the village seemed to be blinded by artillery fire, and the calm was there for a long time, and the soldiers who rushed in became more and more courageous, and the steps under their feet became faster and faster, and suddenly a gunshot rang out, and strands of flames erupted from the remnants of the wall at the edge of the village, and the blue sky and white sun flag shook for a while, and then stopped in place, and then did not move, and the soldiers under its banner held the flagpole and inserted it into the hard ground. As the flagpole stopped, the gray waves also crouched on the empty field.

"Machine guns, machine guns." With the call, fierce shooting sounded in the field, and the bullets splashed wisps of dust between the broken tiles, Fang Ye quickly rolled into a mud puddle, and soon came out again, the sniper rifle in his hand moved slowly, as a member of the covering group, there was no need to rush to the front line, but when the troops encountered resistance, it was their business to clear the obstacles for the brothers in front.

Fang Ye quickly locked on to a target, this was an officer wielding a command knife, half of the officer's head was sticking out, he sneered in his heart, the little devil, bold enough, gently pulled the trigger, a bloody hole appeared in the officer's forehead in the scope, his body shook violently, and then he fell forward.

Fang Ye immediately turned the muzzle of the gun and continued to look for the next target, he had just locked onto a machine gunner, and before he could pull the trigger, in the scope, the firing point suddenly flew into the sky. "Damn, the rabbit cub of the dog day, the work of the gun Lao Tzu." He scolded fiercely in his heart, this was done by the bazooka team.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Several explosions rang out in the depths of the village, and then there was a group of smoke at the entrance of the village, and the battalion and even the mortars opened fire, and the battalion must have belonged to the 82 mortars in the village, and the 60 mortars at the entrance of the village.

The smoke of gunpowder obscured his vision, and the brothers in front jumped up, Fang Ye saw the deputy company commander carrying the military flag and rushed forward, and the brothers followed him, shouting and rushing towards the village.

A figure of the "servant" jumped over Fang Ye's creeping crater, and before Fang Ye could see who the other party was, he heard: "Brothers, follow me and kill the devil!" "It's the company commander, Fang Ye's heart was hot, he got up, stumbled and ran forward behind the company commander.

About 800 meters behind him, in a depression, Zhang Lingfu was holding a telescope to observe their attack, and after the shelling began at five o'clock in the morning, he ran to the battalion headquarters in charge of the first shock wave, which was his second time to see the magnanimity of the 49th Group Army, and the non-stop shelling for two hours was too pitiful for other troops, even if he had stayed in the First Army, it was impossible to cast such a heavy bet to open a village.

The return fire on the opposite side was weak, and the blue sky and white sun flag soon rushed into the village, the shelling completely stopped, and the gunfire in the village began to be intense. Zhang Lingfu put down the binoculars, showed a satisfied smile, and rushed into the Japanese position in the first wave, which made him very satisfied.

The officers of the battalion headquarters exhaled a long breath until he smiled, and when the commander first arrived, they had been a little scornful, but now they were completely convinced. This commander is not only strict on the battlefield, but also on the training ground. Not only did they demand victory, but they also demanded strict tactical discipline in battle, and the assault group, the cover group, and the fire group were meticulous, but the ancestor of the 49th Group Army still trusted him extremely much, and it was useless for anyone to complain. These old men from the Southwest Development Team also had to obey, so this regiment became the first-class main force of the 49th Group Army in a few months, and the regiment commander Zhang Lingfu was called Zhang Madman, and Xia Yanglin, who was transferred to the 105th Division as the brigade commander and was known as the desperate Sanlang, was on an equal footing.

As soon as the offensive began, Zhang Xin handed over the task of opening the breakthrough to Zhang Lingfu and covered it with the artillery fire of the whole division.

"The assault company reported that the entire village had been occupied, and the remnants of the Japanese army had fled backwards." The battalion commander put down the microphone and reported to Zhang Lingfu.

"Order them not to pursue, quickly establish positions, order the second company, overtake them, and continue the attack." Zhang Lingfu ordered without thinking about it.

"Yes." The battalion commander Jing Yincai picked up the microphone and gave orders down with some dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Lingfu was very keen, and immediately sensed that Jing Yincai's mood was wrong.

"No, it's nothing," Zhang Lingfu didn't answer, just looked at him, Jing Yincai finally couldn't help complaining: "I said, regiment commander, can you go back to the regiment headquarters, this is my battalion headquarters, you are here, how can I command, I and I are a herald." ”

"So, you think I'm interfering with your command here?" Zhang Lingfu's joy was swept away, and he asked a little gloomy.

"Not to think, but to affirm." Jing Yincai did not flinch, but stepped up unceremoniously: "Tuanzao, you are the regiment commander, you should command the whole regiment, I only have one battalion here, and a regiment commander appointed by the commander is not a battalion commander." ”

A smile appeared on Zhang Lingfu's face, this smile flashed on his face, and his expression remained serious: "Okay, you command, don't worry about me, I'm in your headquarters." ”

"Yes." Since he couldn't drive Zhang Lingfu away, Jing Yincai could only nod helplessly, and then ordered: "The battalion headquarters moved forward, ordered the second company to continue the pursuit, and the third company assembled in the field on the left side of the village to stand by." ”

Zhang Lingfu didn't worry about the flanks at all, the flank protection had been handed over to the friendly forces, he just attacked, and attacked without stopping until he hit the bank of the Yellow River.

The offensive of the ** squadron was fierce, Zhang Lingfu occupied Shiji in half a day, the right wing An Enpu attacked Fuchun, the Japanese army in Fuchun fought hard until the afternoon, and was forced to retreat.

In the direction of Shiji, Honma also dispatched a brigade from the 27th Division to launch a counter-charge towards Shiji, and engaged in fierce battles with the 104th Division on the front line of Zhudian and Machangzhai.

Fierce battles broke out on all fronts, Hu Zongnan and Song Xilian also launched an attack on the 27th Division Gusong Brigade in front of them, Song Xilian fought hard for a day, and in the evening, he defeated the Hashimoto Wing in front of him and conquered Xiaoliuzhuang.

It was Hu Zongnan who made greater progress, the Japanese defenders in this direction were even weaker, there were only two squadrons of Japanese troops in Liukou and Lizhuang, and after Hu Zongnan launched an attack, the defenders retreated eastward with only a little resistance and made peace with the Japanese Noda Wing stationed in Huanglan.

The 102nd Army, which launched an attack east of Zhencheng, was met with stubborn resistance from the Japanese army, and it was possible for the squadron to break the siege from this direction, and Honma was prepared.

As soon as the Japanese outpost position came into contact with the 102nd Army, it abandoned the position and shrank back, Sun Zhen waved his army straight forward, and then the left flank was blocked at Nanshulou and the right flank was blocked at Haotang.

Xu Zuyi sorted out the battle situation throughout the day and was a little dissatisfied with the progress, especially the 102nd Army, which not only undertook the task of inserting into the flank of the Japanese army, but also undertook the task of supporting Zhencheng, but now that both fronts are blocked, the situation in Zhencheng has become more dangerous.

"Order the troops to attack overnight, order Lan Yundong, and send a strong force to support Zhencheng." Xu Zuyi felt the danger of Zhen Cheng, and did not dare to count on Sun Zhen anymore, and planned to consolidate Zhen Cheng first.

After receiving the order, Lan Yundong threw the 105th Division of the reserve army into the direction of Zhencheng and launched an assault on Zhencheng overnight. Liang Dai, like Zhang Xin, put the strongest Xiayang Forest Brigade at the forefront.

The tiger in Xia Yanglin, who had been trapped for a day, marched overnight, launched an attack on Li Yuan in the southwest of Zhencheng from the southwest of Zhencheng, attacked all the way, and rushed to the bottom of Zhencheng at dawn.

The commander of the 24th Division, Heiyan Yoshikatsu, did not expect that the squadron would kill from this direction, and his attack on Zhencheng was in the way of encircling three and missing one, and the south was originally released, and it was only after conquering the south gate that a defensive line was set up in the south. After the squadron launched on the east and west sides, Honma Masaharu and Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu judged at the same time that the squadron was going to divide and encircle our army, so they put the main force on both flanks, rather than simply relieving the remnants of Zhencheng. As a result, the defensive line to the south was even weaker. Therefore, Xia Yanglin's attack really caught the Japanese army by surprise.

Zhong Bin heard the gunshots from the south gate in the city, and immediately realized that the reinforcements had arrived, and the Japanese attack was significantly weakened during the day on this day, and the Japanese army drew a wing from the city to strengthen the eastern front, and then transferred a large brigade of troops to reinforce the western front, Zhong Bin's pressure was much less, but despite this, Zhong Bin still did not think that he could survive tomorrow, and the casualties of the troops were too great. After Zhong Bin judged that it was reinforcements, he immediately organized a death squad and launched a ** to the south gate.

Xia Yanglin was outside the city, Zhong Bin was inside the city, and the fierce battle immediately started inside and outside the city.

At about the same time, in a village near Xinxiang, Nakajima Yasuken was soaking his feet in a bucket, but he was holding a book in his hand, and he was watching with relish, when the adjutant's report came from outside the door, and he casually let him in.

"Your Excellency, Major General Lucao, commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, please see me."

"Oh, no, tell him that the rest place is ready, please rest as soon as possible." Nakajima didn't raise his eyelids, still looking at the book in his hand with relish.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing the scene in the house, Major General Lucao was angry, pushed aside the adjutant in front of him, broke in directly, and roared angrily: "The north and south of the Yellow River, fierce battles are raging, but Major General Nakajima has the leisure to soak his feet and read here, is this how you do your best for His Majesty the Emperor?" Is this how to contribute to the holy war? ”

Nakajima slowly put the book in his hand on the table, looked up at the angry Lucao with interest, "Do you know what kind of book this is?" ”
