[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 217: The Battle of Peng Ze (Ask for Subscription)

In Pengze County, since the departure of the 157th Wing, Yin Dong Zhengxi has been sitting on pins and needles, as if he feels that something big is about to happen.

Sure enough, in less than two hours, the news that the 157th Wing and the 123rd Wing were ambushed by the Shina army came back, which scared Yin Dongzheng to death. Didn't it mean that this time the people of China only dispatched one division, and this division had suffered heavy casualties in continuous battles before, where did so many troops ambush two imperial army wings at the same time?

But now he has not been able to answer his question, in desperation, Yin Dong Zhengxi can only order these two reinforcements to withdraw immediately, as for the 103rd Wing in Furong Dun Town, they can only look at their creation, if they can hold on until dawn, they can still be saved, and there is no way to hold on until dawn.

At the same time, Yin Dong Zhengxi had realized that the next target of the Chinese was Pengze County, and immediately called the only defender captain in the city, asking him to immediately strengthen his guard, and the people of China would come tonight.

In order to ensure that the county seat of Pengze was not lost, Yin Dong Zhengxi called the 106th Division at the same time, requesting Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura to immediately reinforce it, and it was best to move the headquarters of the 106th Division to the county seat of Pengze.

But even so, Yin Dong Zhengxi is still extremely worried, because now there is only one infantry brigade and one division headquarters in the huge county, and the total strength is less than 1,300 people. Moreover, there is no city wall in Pengze County, and it is extremely difficult to defend, and it is not yet known from which direction the people of China will attack, once they find the weak point of defense and enter the city, the consequences will be very serious, and they may not be able to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the 106th Division.

The 1st Brigade of the 157th Wing was called the Ida Brigade within the 101st Division, and the captain was named Tita Jiuichi. The 157th Wing is different from the 103rd Wing, which is the unit where the 101st Wing started. It is the backbone of the 1st Division, which is a veteran division, and it can be said that the 1st Brigade is the essence of the 101st Division. The Jingtai Brigade is the strongest combat force in the 157th Wing, both in terms of the quality of soldiers and weapons and equipment, it is the best in the 101st Division, and the only one that can be compared with it is the 101st Wing that was annihilated before.

After receiving the exit from the division headquarters, Iza Ichi Nakasa immediately organized troops to strengthen the fortifications, especially the defense west of the city. For this. Jing Tai Jiuyi even transferred all the reserves to the West Gate of Pengze County. Only a small number of troops were deployed to the east and north, because Inotai thought that the enemy was on the west side, and even if he came, he would only attack the west.

At three o'clock in the morning, more than 7,000 people under Ma Zheng's command finally arrived at a hill two kilometers outside Pengze County, which was so close to the Japanese fortifications that they could see the fires in the Japanese trenches without even using binoculars.

After a simple observation, Ma Zheng said to Xu Weiguo, the commander of the 200th Regiment, He Jiqiang, Tie Niu, Xu Haifeng and others on the side, and the commanders of the Third Supplementary Regiment: "It seems that the Japanese army has been prepared, but it doesn't matter, the Japanese defenders here are only one brigade when they are full." And we have more than 7,000 people, and we can take it by force. What will happen next will definitely be a bitter battle and a bloody battle, so everyone should be prepared! ”

Tie Niu immediately said: "Commander, the cost of a strong attack is too great, why don't you let our special combat team touch it in first, and then attack if it doesn't work?" ”

"The enemy is already on guard, and the chances of your success are not very high, so forget it!" Ma Zheng said.

"Commander. If you attack by force, the casualties will be too great, so let's leave it to our special combat team. Even if you fight for my life, I will end the command of that old thing of Yin Dong Jung-hee for you! Tie Niu said in a deep voice.

Ma Zheng said a little angrily: "Fart! What is not desperate, Tie Niu, you remember it for Lao Tzu! It doesn't matter if the task is not completed, but everyone has to give Lao Tzu all back, don't die or live at every turn. You must know that you are the foundation of the country and the nation, have you forgotten the first regulations of the commander of our Seventh Division? ”

"I didn't forget. We always keep in mind that people who have lost their land have lost their land, and people who have lost their land have survived. We must cherish the life of every soldier, we are not afraid of sacrifice, we are afraid of the worthlessness of sacrifice. Tie Niu said in a deep voice.

"You remember a fart. This is to be remembered by heart, not by mouth. The last time I captured the Japanese naval fleet, more than half of them were killed or wounded at once, which made me very sad. Don't force it if you can't do it, hey, it's no wonder you, but you have to remember, don't die easily, your life is not your own, and theirs is not yours. Ma Zheng reprimanded.

Tie Niu knew that the commander was still sad for the special combat team members who died in the battle a few days ago, after all, most of them were veteran team members, and they were all trained by Ma Zheng himself. Any of the team members Ma Zheng knows each other, and they can call out their names one by one to understand everyone's life experience and family situation.

Iron Bull will never forget the sad expression of the commander when he handed over the list of fallen and missing soldiers to the commander, and Iron Bull could see that it was a pain from within.

"Yes, the Japanese have not been destroyed, and the iron bull will no longer dare to die." Iron Bull said loudly.

"We can win this battle even if we don't need your special combat team, don't forget that we also have anti-tank dogs, if the Japanese defense is too tight, we can send anti-tank dogs, use time bombs to clean up those ****, and you must not let your special combat team go until it is absolutely necessary." Ma Zheng said,.

"Yes!"

"Commander He, you add that the 3rd Regiment is responsible for containing the attack, and after the battle starts, you will launch an attack from the west, but remember that you are not the main force, you can't fight hard, just let the little devil know that the main force is in this direction." Ma Zheng said.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! He Jiqiang said loudly.

"Weiguo, your 200 regiments are all veterans, and the weapons and equipment are also the best among all the troops, so you are the main force in this battle. Wait a minute, as soon as the battle starts, you will detour to the east of the city, there are so many little devils, and it is impossible to take care of them all. If you shoot first from the west, the main force will be concentrated on the west, and when you suddenly attack from the east of the city, you will surely be able to complete the battle. ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Xu Weiguo said loudly.

"Comrades, this battle must be resolved quickly and must not be delayed. Otherwise, when reinforcements from Madang's 106th Division arrived, it would be a fierce battle. Especially in the middle of the day, the Japanese army will definitely send aviation reinforcements, and then we will be passive! Ma Zheng said.

"Yes"

"Now start the table, 3:23, and attack on time in 7 minutes!" Ma Zheng said.

"Yes"

At 3:30 a.m., after a rumbling artillery bombardment, Ma Zheng's troops launched a siege of Pengze County.

Since the Japanese army had been stationed in Pengze County for a week, a large number of fortifications had been built on the outskirts of the county, including trenches, sandbag bunkers, and semi-underground pillboxes. Therefore, Ma Zheng's attack was met with stubborn resistance from the Japanese army, and the first attack was driven back by the Japanese army in less than 15 minutes, and the two companies that rushed up were only less than 100 people when they came down, and they suffered heavy casualties.

However, the combat effectiveness of the supplementary regiment is not weak, although these soldiers are all from the Kuomintang army captured by the Japanese army, but these people are all veterans, many of them are even from the most elite units of the Central Army of the Nationalist Government, and they have also been trained by German instructors, and their military quality is very high. Now Ma Zheng has equipped these people with all the Japanese equipment, so the combat effectiveness is definitely very impressive.

Although Ma Zheng gave them the order to attack compulsorily, but thinking of the inhuman treatment suffered in the prisoner of war camp, the soldiers couldn't help but be furious, and they couldn't control it at all when they charged, so they were repelled by the Japanese army again and again and launched a more violent charge.

However, the attack of the first regiment was still very effective, and it put great pressure on the Japanese defenders, and Ie Sokuichi had to throw all his reserves into the battle in the west, and even mobilized a part of the troops from the east of the city to reinforce the battle in the west.

Fortunately, the 106th Division had already sent a telegram saying that reinforcements had left, it was the 147th Wing of the 106th Division, and a brigade of charioteers was also equipped. At the speed of the mechanized troops, they could reach the county seat of Pengze in an hour at most, and they had to hold on no matter what. (To be continued.) )
