Terauchi Shouichi really wronged Matsui Ishone, he was having a high fever at this time, and he was on a ship to Tokyo, when the golden freighter suddenly sank. Matsui Ishine didn't even have to think about it to know what his ending would be, but when he thought about it, he had a headache, and finally had a high fever at sea.

And the rest of the people in Shanghai did not dare to do their best to support the North China Front before receiving the order from the military headquarters, after all, if something happened, no one would dare to take responsibility. Especially at this time, there were still hundreds of thousands of national troops in Anhui, and it was easy for any division to attack alone, especially after the 13th Division was tossed by the New Fourth Army, and no one was willing to attack alone.

- Tokyo

The Japanese military headquarters, which had already received the news, looked at the troop deployment map and found that there were no troops that could be mobilized in the direction of Taierzhuang in a short period of time, and that the south had to break through several lines of defense in order to rescue, while the north had no troops to adjust, and the Nationalist Army in North China had not yet been completely wiped out.

After seeing such an analysis, Konoe only felt a toothache, and in desperation, he could only urgently appoint Koiso Kuniaki to fly to Shanghai to preside over the overall situation, and at the same time let the 10th Division insist on patience.

- Taierzhuang

The Japanese planes finally flew to Taierzhuang, Sun Lianzhong and others looked at the dense formation of Japanese planes, and gasped in fright, so many planes are afraid that they will cause thousands of casualties, and if the Japanese army takes the opportunity to attack, it will be dangerous.

Tairov, who is only 19 years old this year, has always grown up in the Far East, and has always had a curiosity about China, after all, this land was the southern country a hundred years ago, and when the aviation school asked who wanted to come to China, he immediately signed up to go to China to fight.

Here, he encountered a lot of interesting things, and he became more and more fond of China. But to his regret, for some reason, the Chinese official has not allowed them to participate in the war, and finally, the opportunity came.

Tairov looked at his car, this is an Il-15 plane, although it is a biplane, he believes that he can easily take down Japanese planes with this plane, and add a red star to his plane.

Tairov began to check the plane again, and they were preparing in Xuzhou at this time. "It's coming. Here it is, everyone board, the Japanese planes have arrived on the battlefield, boys, let's kill these damned imperialist lackeys. A bearded Soviet Air Force officer shouted, took the lead and got on the plane, and the other pilots followed into the plane, only to see the planes taking off one by one, constantly circling in formation. Then they flew north, where their prey was there.

Feng Anbang looked at the bombs that kept falling, and he trembled in distress. To be a soldier is to be ready to die on the battlefield at any time, but it is too embarrassing to be blown up without the power to resist. A fighter plane flew over where Feng Anbang was, and Feng Anbang angrily took a pistol and "touched" the plane a few times.

To everyone's surprise, the plane suddenly caught fire. And then it fell.

Feng Anbang looked at his pistol and blinked, he couldn't understand when his pistol had such power.

"Airplanes. Our planes, so many planes!! The guards around them shouted.

Feng Anbang raised his head, his eyes getting bigger and bigger, and he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Countless planes painted with blue sky and white sun rushed towards the Japanese planes that were slaughtering and bombing everywhere, the fire whip swept over, and the Japanese planes caught fire and exploded one by one. Suddenly, he saw his host flick its wings, and he hurriedly followed, only to see a Japanese fighter in front of him turning over and preparing to engage him.

Tairov held the handle tightly, and saw that the opponent's nose was about to face him, so he used his flexibility to turn over sharply and came to the other side.

It was the I-16, a high-speed fighter, that day the plane first emitted a little black smoke, then sparks, and finally actually ignited a fire, Tairov was dumbfounded, and admired the kung fu of his host more and more.

"It seems that I am very lucky, and this Chinese pilot is also very good." Tairov was determined and cooperated with his host more carefully.

The planes aided by the Soviet Union have their own characteristics, the Yi-15 has good maneuverability, and the Yi-16 is fast, and the two cooperate with each other, but they can give full play to their respective strengths, Feng Anbang next to a soldier kept counting, laughing while counting, "Division, we have already shot down fourteen, and we have only dropped six, we are going to win." ”

Feng Anbang nodded and said, "Don't look at it, there is no in the sky, it's our turn to educate our rebellious students, let them know that there is a reason why we have been in the heavenly kingdom for so many years." ”

The Japanese planes had already been bombing and attacking for a long time, and at this time, the Soviet volunteers who encountered the new force were small in number and had no formation, and they were beaten in a mess, and the entire Japanese aircraft group had completely lost their command and fought on their own, which made the well-prepared Soviet volunteer pilots and the pilots of the Nationalist Army very addicted.

The Great Counteroffensive began.

The Japanese fighters were expelled from Taierzhuang and began to fight and retreat, and the bombers following the fighter group came to the sky above Taierzhuang, and one after another revenge bombs were thrown at the Japanese artillery positions, and one cannon after another was blown up, and the barrels were twisted like twists.

Chi Fengcheng was fascinated by watching it, and shouted loudly, "Counterattack, counterattack, drive the little devil out of Taierzhuang for me!" ”

In the small Taierzhuang, more than 30,000 Chinese and Japanese troops were gathered at this time, and the stone brick houses in Taierzhuang were not intact after more than ten days of high-intensity bombardment, and most of them became ruins, tens of thousands of troops fought each other here, the battle lines crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and the commanders of both sides slowly lost control of the front line.

Sun Lianzhong looked at the mess of red and blue flags on the map. Scratching his head, he said, "Why did you fight like this?" There is me in the enemy, and there is an enemy in me, it is simply a pot of porridge. “

Chief of Staff Wang Fanting said very optimistically: "Our army is far more numerous than the enemy, and such close combat is more beneficial to our army, I think the little devil will be anxious." “

The Japanese artillery was suppressed by the air force of the Nationalist Army, and the artillery of the Nationalist Army began to exert its might, and the artillery fire was constantly tilting towards the area where the Japanese army was concentrated, and the soldiers were holding broadswords. Grenades, one by one the houses began to be cleaned up, and when the air force left, most of Taierzhuang fell into the hands of the national army, but in some strong buildings, there were still some Japanese soldiers who were stubbornly resisting, and the shouting and killing did not stop.

Feng Anbang was holding a broadsword, panting constantly, he didn't expect the 10th Division to be so difficult to fight, one of his guards and a squad of bayonets almost didn't win, if it weren't for his own martial arts foundation. I almost confessed here. "Damn, what about the other brothers? Where did they go? Feng Anbang shouted. Shizao, we saw that there were our people next to that building, but there were dozens of devils in the middle, what should we do? “

A tall, thin soldier jumped down from a tree and said. "Fuck, go, kill me, gather all the brothers, and beat them like this. It's too dangerous, anyway, why hasn't that Tang Enbo come until now, and he won't retreat again. Feng Anbang scolded and led the troops to kill the devil. Taierzhuang has started a new round of fighting. "How? Did the Fifth Division move? Tang Enbo, who was only more than forty miles away from Taierzhuang, suddenly stopped at this time, and only the vanguard troops at the forefront were still fighting with the Japanese army. It turned out that when Townenburg was marching into the army. Suddenly, I got an urgent telegram, but it was a telegram from the cavalry regiment that guarded the 5th Division at the rear.

The telegram said that the Fifth Division suddenly sent 5,000 people to rush to Taierzhuang bypassing Linyi, but Zhang Zizhong did not expect this at all. It was impossible to stop it, and at this time the Japanese army had already arrived in Lanling Town, and it was only a dozen kilometers away from Guan Zhenglin's department.

Such a sudden change frightened Townenburg to stop immediately. For fear of being attacked from both sides and leading to a big defeat.

Seishiro Itagaki in Linyi listened to the battle report and closed his eyes and said, "Has Sakamoto-kun already come into contact with the Shina troops?" “

Chief of Staff Takeshi Sakurada shook his head and said, "There has been no official battle yet. I don't know what the division commander means? “

Itagaki Seishiro said, "Don't fall in love with the war, our goal is to rescue the 10th Division, let General Sakamoto concentrate his forces and prepare to fight the 10th Division at any time, and let General Chichai not let Linyi's troops go out of the city, once there is this sign, resolutely beat him back to me." “

At this time, a telegram from Jiang Intermediary came, asking why he had not attacked. Tang Enbo looked at it and gritted his teeth and said, "Order Guan Zhenglin to block the Fifth Division, and the other two armies will immediately attack Taierzhuang, and then clean up the Fifth Division when they turn back." “

Guarding the rear of the 10th Division is the 39th Wing, the wing commander Numata Duojiazang, the whole wing and the affiliated troops of about 5,000 people, fortified in the mountains north of Taierzhuang, Numata Duojiazang patrolled his position while walking, constantly nodding, only to see the position winding, is a circular trench surrounded by a serpentine line, in order to break through Taierzhuang as soon as possible, the 39th Wing did not bring mountain artillery but only mortars. Numata Tazo put all the mortars in the core position and built anti-slope fortifications, while the soldiers on the front line took each heavy machine gun point as the core, relying on the grenadier and light machine gun, divided into three parts, and fought in turns, and the 92 infantry guns roamed to fight, and his range of 3,000 meters was enough to blow up the machine gun points of the attacking troops far away.

Numata Takazo gently touched his ancestral katana, wondering if he would be able to become a general after this war. "Your Excellency, the Chinese troops have appeared." The communications soldier put down the phone and ran over and said.

The corners of Numata Takazo's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Order all troops to prepare for battle, and let us teach the people of Jiaozhi how to fight a defensive battle." “

The 13th Army led by Tang Enbo personally and the 75th Army led by Zhou Zhe attacked, and the 333rd Brigade of the 57th Army served as a connection point with Guan Zhenglin, who was blocking the Fifth Division.

Tang Enbo looked at the empty sky and said with a smile, "The devil's plane is gone, do you think they are still guarding?" The troops were ordered to enter the position, and when the artillery attack was over, they immediately made a tentative attack. From the artillery positions of the Nationalist Army, more than 80 mortars let out their own roars, and soon, bursts of white smoke rose from the Japanese positions. "Yo Xi, the Chinese troops are shelling, order the artillery to wait for the Chinese infantry to rush up and immediately counter their artillery, the infantry troops are ready to countercharge, and we will knock Tang Enbo to the ground at once. This is the only way to buy more time. Numata Taka hid in the bunker and gave the order.

Tang Enbo looked at the quiet Japanese position strangely, and the plaster flag that stood high indicated that this was indeed the Japanese position, and there was no movement at all, only the sound of mortar explosions.

"Order, the 6th Division to attack." Tang Enbo said.

I saw only five or six hundred Kuomintang troops rushing out of their positions quickly, and when they were still one thousand meters away from the Japanese position, the various heavy machine gun groups occupied favorable terrain, and when they reached three or five hundred meters, the light machine gun groups also began to build bunkers, and the Japanese positions were still quiet and silent.

Finally, the infantry strode along the barrage fired by the artillery, and it was only a hundred meters away from the Japanese position, and everyone became excited, feeling that this battle was too easy.

And Zhang Qi, the commander of the 6th Division on the front line, was terrified, he didn't believe that the 10th Division would be such a waste.

"Fight back!!" Numata Tazo glared angrily and shouted.

The core position of the Japanese army was not affected by the artillery fire of the Nationalist Army at all, and the Japanese artillery had been counting for a long time, and immediately launched according to the preset coordinates, and dozens of shells crossed the arc to the artillery position of the Nationalist Army, which was not yet known.

"Boom!" Small fiery regiments appeared among the artillery of the National Army, and although there were temporary bunkers, many people fell into pools of blood.

"Damn, calculate the ballistics immediately and prepare for a counterattack." The commander of the artillery regiment watched the soldiers he had trained with great difficulty fall, and hurriedly said to the soldiers next to him that the artillery bombardment of the national army stopped abruptly.

The Nationalist army that rushed to the position found out that something was wrong, the first trench had no enemy at all, only countless mines, many soldiers were blown to pieces by the mines as soon as they went down, as if it was a signal, "Da Da Da" The Japanese army's Type 92 heavy machine gun and crooked handle suddenly sounded, the charging Nationalist army fell to the ground as if it had been cut by a sickle, and the 92 infantry artillery began to shoot at the machine gun point of the Nationalist Army, and the grenadiers kept firing at the light machine guns that followed the infantry, and for a time, the Nationalist Army was beaten into chaos.

"Shut down the insurance! Get on the bayonet! A voice of Japanese like a duck came, and as soon as the soldiers looked up, they saw the Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets and holding the 38 big cover with bayonets, and then the three of them rushed over in groups.

"Damn it. Brethren, we can't go any further, let's fight with these little devils. A Nationalist officer picked up a rifle next to him, loaded it with a bayonet and rushed forward, some of the other soldiers were infected and followed, some of them secretly fled when they saw someone attracting attention, and some of them were even so pressed by the Japanese machine guns that they didn't dare to move.

Although the Japanese army is short, but the general physique is better than the national army, and the training is more sufficient, especially the bayonet, the three-person small formation is perfect, and it often takes seven or eight national troops to block a three-person squad, and when the troops retreat, there are more than 200 people left in a battalion of more than 600 people, and the company commander is dead and seriously injured.
