Chapter 255: Abandonment of Suxian County

Su County, the outer position of the county.

After some preparations, the 20th Division of the Yue Army finally launched an attack on the Suxian [***] position again, and Liang Haoyao and Chi Fengcheng commanded the troops to resist desperately, while quietly evacuating the people in the city, as well as some non-combat units such as communications.

Although the two artillery wings of the 20th Division had previously been attacked by dozens of fighters of the First Brigade of the Huben Army Flying Regiment, their combat strength was still there, and the two main wings of the 20th Division, the 77th and 78th, launched another fierce attack on the Huben Army under the cover of the artillery units directly under the division and regiment and the artillery wing directly under the brigade regiment.

Under the strict orders of the angry Ushijima, Changden Lixing and Kobayashi Heng almost poured out, and nearly 5,000 Japanese troops lined up in a huge straggler line to charge the position of the Tiger Army, and in the face of the devils like a tide, Liang Haoyao and Chi Fengcheng put the last infantry battalion at hand into battle, and for a time the sound of killing outside the entire Suxian City shook the sky, and the sound of guns and cannons was boiling.

Since the launch of the attack, the two sides have been fighting fiercely for more than two hours, and the corpses outside Suxian County have been piled up in mountains and rivers of blood.

At the head of the north gate of Suxian County, Liang Haoyao, chief of staff of the Fifth Division, and Chi Fengcheng, commander of the 31st Division, stood side by side.

Under the threat of the dense firepower network of the Tiger Army, thousands of soldiers of the Yue Army were not afraid of death, and they rushed to the death one after another, the front fell, and the back stepped on the corpses of their comrades to continue to charge.

I have to admit that at this time, the fighting consciousness of the invading army was extremely strong, and almost all of these devil soldiers who were brainwashed by the spirit of bushido fought with the determination to fight to the death.

From the official historical materials, it can be found that in the first few years of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the [***] team fought hundreds of battles with the invading Chinese army, but failed to capture a single soldier of the Chinese army, and even if the devil soldiers were seriously injured in the battle, they would commit suicide before being captured, which shows that the bushido spirit controls them deeply.

On the other hand, during the same period, there was no shortage of loyal and patriotic people, who were not afraid of life and death, but there was no shortage of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death, when most of North China fell, hundreds of thousands of [***] who successively became a system of treason and surrendered to the enemy, and after the establishment of Wang's puppet political axe, the number of [***] who surrendered to the country was as high as one million. This is the difference between an army without faith and an army with faith.

Generally speaking, it is the military soul of an army, and there are many factions in today's [***] team, full of contradictions, most of the soldiers are illiterate croppers, after hundreds of years of enslavement in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, most people lack blood surnames, and lack the firm belief in fighting for it.

Since the Tiger Ben Army became an army, after Qiao Anbang's continuous edification and infusion, it has more or less a trace of military soul, their military soul is Qiao Anbang, and their belief in victory also comes from Qiao Anbang, but the fifth division belongs to the new army, obviously not yet up to that standard, but they also have a desire to support them to continue fighting, that is, to defend their hometown, because most of them are soldiers in northern Anhui, and behind them is their hometown, father, mother, wife and children, brothers, and sisters.

"Brother Xian, it's almost time, I think it's time to retreat." Chi Fengcheng put down the telescope in his hand and said in a deep voice.

Liang Haoyao nodded solemnly and said, "Hmm." After saying this, he turned his head to the guards behind him and said, "Immediately send a telegram to the flying regiment, request air support, and cover the retreat of our troops!" ”

"Yes!" The guard snapped forward, turned and ran quickly down the city towards the regimental headquarters.

………………………… At Longshan Airport, on the tarmac, a large group of ground crews were busy filling the fighters with fuel and replenishing the bombs; since the two major front armies of the northern and southern armies of the Chinese army approached northern Anhui, the fighters of the Huben Army Flying Regiment began to be very busy.

They were not only ordered to bomb the logistical supply lines of the divisions and regiments of the Central China Army, but also took into account the battlefield on the northern front and provided air support to the ground troops at any time.

Soon, after the ground crew had replenished all the fighters on this expedition, they began to drive the replenishment trucks and jeeps away from the tarmac.

Dozens of fighters and bombers on the tarmac began to start one after another, and the propeller of the nose of the BF109 fighter began to rotate slowly and quickly, and then the first fighter flew out of the tarmac and galloped along the airport runway.

Immediately after the second, third, and the last fighter plane took off, dozens of fighters protected more than a dozen bombers in the middle and roared in the direction of Suxian.

The straight-line distance between the Longshan barracks and Suxian is only more than 70 kilometers, and at the speed of the BF109 fighters, it arrived over Suxian in more than 10 minutes, and after making contact with the defenders of Suxian by radio, dozens of fighters swooped towards the attacking army on the ground, while the bombers flew towards the rear of the army, and their targets were the artillery of the army that could not be completely destroyed by the bombing last time, as well as some headquarters and follow-up units of the army.

At the head of the city, looking at the group of his own fighters roaring overhead, Liang Haoyao immediately turned his head to Chi Fengcheng and said, "Big brother, let's withdraw." ”

"Hmm!" Chi Fengcheng nodded silently, and then the two of them walked down the city with the guards, and got into a military jeep in the city that had been waiting for a long time.

"Herald, pass my order, the whole regiment retreats!" On the outer position, Tian Jin, the commander of a regiment, looked at his own fighters in the air who were strafing and bombing the ground troops of the Japanese army, and ordered with a solemn expression.

"Yes!" A soldier snapped in response, and then began to quickly convey the order with a cat.

However, after the attacking troops of the Yue army were hit by the fierce air fire of the Tiger Ben army, the attack, which was already at the end of the crossbow, failed again, and thousands of Yue troops retreated to their own attack positions like a tide.

In order to cover the retreat of the ground troops, the pilots of the flying regiment did not hesitate to dive, strafe and bomb the positions of the Yue army, so when the Tiger Army quietly retreated, the general of the Yue Army, which was in a panic, failed to discover it in time and sent troops to pursue it.

After nearly half an hour, the fighter group of the flying regiment stopped strafing and bombing due to fuel problems and began to turn around and return home.

On the position of the army that was filled with gunpowder, the commander of the 77th Infantry Wing, Chang Deng Lixing, came out of an air defense bunker with a dusty face, which was dug by his subordinates in a hurry.

After getting out of the bunker, Changdeng Lixing slapped the dirt on his body again and again, and the adjutant on the side didn't care about himself, and also followed Changdeng Lixing to clean up the dirt and dust.

"Yagayalu, damn Shina fighter!" Changdeng Lixing looked up at the smoke-filled sky, and scolded angrily.

After cleaning up the dirt on his body, Changdeng Lixing immediately raised the telescope hanging on his chest, but his eyes were black and he couldn't see anything.

Changdeng Lixing took the telescope in his hand and checked it repeatedly, and found that the mirror surface of his telescope was also covered with dust, and before he could get angry, the quick-eyed adjutant next to him stepped forward to help him wipe the telescope with his sleeve.

Changdeng Lixing's anger stopped for a while, and he raised the telescope again to look at the [***] position opposite, and looked through the telescope for a long time, Changdeng Lixing was surprised to find that there was no movement in the [***] position on the opposite side.

The questioning Changdeng Lixing adjusted the magnification of the telescope, looked at it for a while, but still couldn't find any abnormality, and the entire [***] position was as quiet as death, and there was not even a figure.

With doubts in his stomach, Changden Lixing immediately turned his head and said to the adjutant behind him: "Order the first brigade to send an infantry squad to immediately test the attack on the position of the Chinese army!" ”

"Hay!" The adjutant bowed his head abruptly, then turned around and walked away quickly.

Soon, a squad of soldiers rushed out of the trench with a rifle hulala, and quickly rushed towards the [***] position thousands of kilometers away, Changdeng Lixing held a telescope in his own trench, and watched the reconnaissance team intently, until the reconnaissance team approached the opposite [***] team less than 100 meters, the opposite [***] position was still unresponsive.

"Baga, could it be that the people of China have already retreated?" Changdeng Lixing suddenly realized.

Finally, as the reconnaissance infantry squad confirmed Changdeng Lixing's conjecture, dozens of soldiers rushed into the [***] position without encountering the slightest resistance.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" The adjutant asked immediately when he saw that his troops had rushed into the position of Zhong[***].

Without thinking too much, Changdeng Lixing immediately pulled out his command knife: "Order the troops, all of them attack, and capture Su County." At the same time, report the situation to His Excellency the division commander! ”

"Hay!" The adjutant bowed his head sharply again, and then left with his saber on his shoulder.
