Chapter 557: The sinister Kai Seya
"Tang Xiaoying, this kid fought well, this battle actually caused nearly 800 casualties to the Japanese army, okay, okay!" Leng Feng received a telegram from the team, and his surprise was beyond words.
Since letting this kid enter the Yaksha camp, Tang Xiaoying's progress is obvious to all, in fact, with this kid's military exploits, there is no problem with mentioning the rank of captain.
Leng Feng didn't suppress it, but he took the initiative to ask him to hone it for a while, Leng Feng is very optimistic about this guy's modest and unarrogant character, so he also takes extra care of him.
Unexpectedly, this kid really made a splash in the defense of Tengxian County, which gave Leng Feng a long face.
"But we also suffered more than 600 casualties." Xie Jiyuan said heavily.
"This casualty ratio is very remarkable, just ask GJ in the confrontation with the Japanese army, how many battles won were won by the weak, and the battle damage was controlled to be less than that of the Japanese army, can you take us as an example!" Guo Weiquan was about to open his mouth to refute Xie Jiyuan as soon as he saw it, and immediately added a sentence at the back.
"Okay, you Guo Weiquan, you're getting more and more powerful now!" Xie Jiyuan's words were gagged, and he pointed at Guo Weiquan and scolded with a smile.
"Anyway, it's a rare victory." Leng Feng said, "Liang Dong, where are they going?" ”
"Yan Village, west of Teng County, is about twenty miles away from the county seat."
"That's under the eyes and nose of the little devil!" Leng Feng sighed, whether Liang Dong's movements were a little bold.
"According to their reconnaissance, the Japanese army did not have many troops west of Tengxian County, but only encircled the defenders of Tengxian County, and successively occupied several important communication points, and the rest of the places have not yet had time to send troops to occupy!" Long Yingqin said.
"That's right, if the Japanese army occupies them one by one, it will cost them a lot of troops, and they don't have to fight this battle."
"The tactics of the Japanese army have not changed today, and it seems that they are quite conceited, or rather obsessed with the powerful feeling of a crushing group charge."
"The Japanese are not so stupid, with such huge casualties, I think unless the Japanese commander is a madman, they will change their tactics below." Leng Feng said.
"Well, do you want to remind Tang Xiaoying and let him be careful?"
"It should be reminded that at this time, you must be steady, once there is an impatient action, it will suffer a big loss." Leng Feng nodded.
"Okay, I'll go and send a telegram to Tang Xiaoying."
In the sky over Tengxian County, the smoke of gunpowder never dissipated, and the artillery fire of the Japanese army's retaliation struck again, and the Japanese army dropped nearly 40,000 shells in such a small county as Tengxian County.
This is the Japanese army, the family has a big business, and if you change it to GJ, if you fight a battle, you may not have such a rich shell.
The thousand-year-old city of Tengxian County is considered to be a complete war and war, and those cultural relics that have been preserved for hundreds of thousands of years have also been destroyed, which represents the inheritance of a civilization, and it is gone.
It's too late to feel distressed, and it's still fighting.
The underground headquarters of the Xiguan Power Plant, listening to the deafening explosions outside, the soil above the head fell from time to time, and everyone's faces were not good-looking, and the underground headquarters had been reinforced with reinforced concrete before, otherwise, such an artillery bombardment would have been unbearable and would have collapsed long ago.
The Japanese could shell and bomb endlessly, while the defenders could only hide in underground bomb shelters or tunnels and wait silently, and could be buried alive at any time.
What kind of mood is this?
"There is an order from Shangfeng, ordering us to break through tonight, and the direction of the breakthrough is Wang Dong, enter the Bears Ears Mountain area, and then move to Zaozhuang and Yicheng."
"Why don't you go south and join the Second Army?"
"The Second Army and the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army are fighting fiercely, and they can't get over now, so they can only try their best to hold back the main force of the Japanese army." The telecommunications staff officer reported with a white face.
"Looks like we're on our own!" Wang Zhizhong gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the table.
"Commander-in-chief, don't we still have a unit to meet us?" Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin reminded.
"yes, I almost forgot, we still have reinforcements." A flush of excitement flashed on Wang Zhizhong's face, "Xiaotang, when will the troops who will receive us arrive?" ”
"It's already here, it's just that they can't show up yet, they have to wait until the evening, the Japanese army is not used to field warfare, it is a good opportunity for us to fish in troubled waters!" Tang Xiaoying said.
"Okay, then we'll grit our teeth and hold on until dark!"
"Xiao Tang, is it the Honorary First Division or other teams that will receive our reinforcements?" Zhao Weibin asked curiously, Tang Xiaoying was born in the First Division of Honor, they all know this, but the First Division of Honor has already retreated to Wuhan now.
In Xuzhou, there is only one unit that has a close relationship with the Honor First Division, and that is the new 38 Brigade stationed in Taierzhuang; although this unit is a brigade-level establishment, it can have more than 10,000 troops, which is simply the size of a division, and it is well-equipped, and it can be said that it is unparalleled in the Fifth Theater.
"It's a makeshift team, and I don't know what unit they belong to until I see them." Tang Xiaoying understands that there are some things he can't say yet.
I see!
Everyone is a smart person, why bother to say it so thoroughly, as long as it is your own person, to save yourself, there is no point in pursuing this at this time.
With Tang Xiaoying's squad here, it will definitely not be ignored, even if the Fifth Theater is not capable of managing it, and the honorary first division can ignore it, relying on the relationship between the honorary first division and the new 38th Brigade from the same source, asking the new 38th Brigade to send troops to help, this is by no means a difficult thing to do.
And judging from the order of the upper peak and the direction of retreat chosen, it is also the defense area of the new 38th Brigade, obviously, this is a tacit action.
As for why I didn't tell them clearly, it is estimated that there are other considerations, and these can only be asked after they break through and are safe.
Outside the city, on the bank of the Nansha River, the forward headquarters of the Japanese army.
Se Wuping's face was very pale, he boasted that he could occupy Tengxian within half a day when he went to Haikou, but as a result, half a day passed, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, but Tengxian County still stood still, how could a small city that had obviously not detected any life characteristics still have such a strong combat effectiveness?
They don't have much strength left, maybe if they attack again, they will be completely destroyed!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please give me another chance!" Se Wuhei lowered his head and pleaded with the division commander Ryosuke Isotani.
Ryosuke Isoya's eyes flashed with a fierce light like a beast, the battle of Fuji Prefecture was simply a major shame in his military career, commanding an army as powerful as steel, and he couldn't defeat a garbage army that didn't even have a few artillery, and was poorly equipped and needed to use spears and broadswords in hand-to-hand combat.
This made him very shameless, and that guy Seishiro Itagaki didn't know how to laugh at himself, and even General Nishio Temple sent a telegram to ask, asking him when he would be able to capture Tengshin and go south to Xuzhou.
The Japanese army on the northern front, as the main attacking force, was blocked from advancing, while the Japanese army on the southern front was like a bamboo, and the ZGJD was defeated and retreated, and its morale was like a rainbow.
General Shunliu Hata had already clamorily suggested to the base camp that the Southern Front Army should be responsible for the main attack on Xuzhou, so that the Japanese army on the Northern Front could assist and contain it.
This made the proud Earl Shouichi Terauchi unbearable no matter what.
Even if he joins Xuzhou, it must be the troops of the North China Front under his command to occupy Xuzhou first, and a coward like Shunroku Hata who was frightened by an unknown junior is not qualified to enjoy such glory!
The advance of the battlefield on the southern front, Shunroku Hata finally raised his eyebrows.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we can't repeat the morning attack, we must change our tactics." Kei Seya hurriedly persuaded that he knew Isoya Ryosuke's character and liked to fight hard, which was the habit of many old-school soldiers, and most of them rose in the army in this way, so they had a soft spot for tactics such as wave battle charges.
"If you follow your method, can you quickly take this small county seat?" Ryosuke Isoya said with a fierce look in his eyes, he had decided that if he occupied this county, he would never leave any prisoners behind, kill them all, and build a Kyoto temple to pay tribute to the sacrificed warriors of the Great Japanese Empire!
"Seya-kun, do you think these rats will listen to you, and they will come out of it obediently?" Se Wuping asked angrily.
"How do you know if you don't give it a try?" Kei Seya said slowly.
"Seya-kun, what do you want to do?"
"During the day, I don't think they will break through anyway, only at night, tonight is the last chance, if they choose to stay, then tomorrow, they will have to stay all." Seya said, "I plan to let the 63rd Wing deliberately show weakness when it is close to evening, and retreat five kilometers, so that the GJ team feels that there is a chance to approach Fuji County, if the Chinese army in Teng County communicates with the outside world smoothly, they will definitely know the news, then they will inevitably make relevant reactions, if I am their commander, it is the wisest choice to break through at this time, in the first two days of fighting, I deliberately left Ximen without attacking with all his strength......"
Ryosuke Isoya and Takehei Seya saw that Seya Kai's faces changed slightly, this kid actually kept a hand two days ago, and he didn't say it until now.
Especially Ryosuke Isoya, he is very unhappy, doesn't this show that his division commander is not as good as his brigade commander Seya Kei?
Kei Seya didn't know what Ryosuke Isoya was thinking, the tactics he used were too pediatric, isn't this the "encirclement of three queone" mentioned in the Art of War, and Chinese who have studied thirty-six tricks know it.
Yanzhuang, three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Detachment leader, there is a situation!"
"What's the situation?" Liang Dong got up from the haystack with a dead grass in his mouth, and spit it out.
"The little devil seems to have increased his troops in the direction of the west gate of Tengxian County, and I have visually inspected at least a thousand people, as well as artillery and tanks on pack horses." The platoon commander who came back from reconnaissance reported.
"Increase the troops at the West Gate, do you mean that the little ghost knows that the defenders are going to break through the West Gate tonight?" Yang Rui asked in surprise.
"It shouldn't be, the West Gate has the fewest Japanese troops, and it stands to reason that it is the easiest direction to break through, but with such an obvious arrangement, the little devil will not know that breaking through from the West Gate should be the most dangerous, and we don't plan to break through from the West Gate!"
"Which side did you break through?"
"East first, north second."
"Why the East?" Someone asked.
"If the defenders want to evacuate in the direction of Weishan Lake, then it is naturally the most suitable to choose the West Gate, because the West Gate is the closest to Weishan Lake, but we cannot move closer to the direction of Weishan Lake, we can only make a detour to the east and drill into the mountains and forests, so that the Japanese mechanized corps cannot pursue, they are all walking on the soles of their feet, we Chinese are not afraid of little devils, and breaking through from the east gate, we will also hit the little devils by surprise, if we add that we should cooperate with the outside world, the hope of success is relatively large." Guo Xing explained.
"Staff Officer Guo is right, the direction we chose to meet the Teng County defenders to break through is the East Gate!"
"But we're still outside the West Gate?"
"Don't worry, won't we be able to get around it at night?" Fang Xiaoyang smiled, this kind of roundabout interspersing is a piece of cake for an elite like the Honor First Division Special Service Group.
Not to mention that the Japanese army had not yet completely controlled the vast villages outside Teng County, and it was not very difficult to find a safe road, and of course, it was by no means easy for ordinary people.
"The little devil increased his troops to the West Gate, but he did not attack the West Gate, but dug trenches on the high ground on both sides of the road in the area of Dayan Village in front of us to build fortifications." The platoon leader said again.
"Can you kid finish the conversation in one breath."
"It seems that the little devil judged that the defenders were going to break through from the west gate and wanted to ambush them." Guo Xingdao.
"Could it be that the news of the defenders' breakout has leaked?"
"Probably not, it's all to this point, you think the Japanese army is a fool, if the defenders don't break through tonight, then there will be no chance." Liang Dong Road.
"No matter what moves the Japanese army makes, we will act according to the plan, and also, telegraph Tang Xiaoying and tell him what we have discovered." With a wave of Liang Dong's hand, everyone dispersed, and such a small village suddenly became silent again.
