Chapter 162: The Decisive Battle of Lunan (3)
Tang Enbo saw that the Japanese position in front of him was so tightly defended, and because he didn't have too much artillery on the march, if he wanted to attack strongly, it would only be a matter of time before he could capture it, but if the Fifth Division behind him broke Guan Zhenglin's defense and flanked himself at that time, it would be a lot of fun.
Tang Enbo pointed to the map and said, "Order: Guan Zhenglin's troops immediately retreat while fighting, lure the Japanese army here, order, the 333rd Brigade is ready to respond, to prevent Guan Zhenglin's fake defeat from becoming a real defeat, order, the 75th Army and the 13th Army to move to both sides, order, the 85th Army, which is still on the road, to divert the back road and surround the vanguard of the Fifth Division." β
Chief of Staff Wan Jianpan thought for a while and said, "I'm worried that in this way, the pressure on Taierzhuang will be too great, do you want to think about it again?" β
Tang Enbo smiled and said, "Hu Lian will go to Taierzhuang soon, they can stand it, besides, who are the people in Taierzhuang?" Northwest Army!! When these people die, the principal will only be happy, don't worry, and immediately hand over our strategic deployment to Chief Li and the chairman of the committee. β
- Xuzhou
Li Zongren put down the telegram, shook his head and said, "This encirclement is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know if I can swallow it or not, order, agree to the strategic adjustment of Tang Enbo's troops, and order Sun Yuanliang's troops and Liao Yaoxiang's troops to speed up their northward movement, and enter the third stage after preparing for the second stage, where is Hu Lian?" β
Li Pinxian said with a smile, "Hu Lian, this kid is a little aggressive, he has already arrived in Taierzhuang, plus his troops, Taierzhuang is as stable as Mount Tai." β
Li Zongren snorted, "If you have momentum, I don't know if you are ruthless." β
- Taierzhuang
Hu Lian licked his lips and looked at the Japanese position not far away, Hu Lian hurriedly marched to the vicinity of Taierzhuang, and did not join forces with Sun Lianzhong, but came to Xinzhuang on the flank of the Japanese army, where there was a squadron of Japanese troops guarding the flank, perhaps because it was the Japanese army attacking at this time. The Japanese flank defense did not have many troops, but put the main forces on the Taierzhuang front.
Hu Lian dropped the binoculars, took out a dice in his pocket, and kept touching it and said, "Is the main force of the devil still in Taierzhuang?" β
A national army officer with a bandage on his head next to him said, "Sir, it's true, now Taierzhuang is bleeding like a river, and the devils won't retreat no matter how they fight, Sun Junzuo directly set up a machine gun, whoever retreats kills whom, sir." Let's send troops. β
Hu Lian shook his head and said, "Taierzhuang has become a stalemate, and my 10,000 people are only trapped in it, which is too small to be used at all, order the troops, prepare more gongs and drums, charge horns, military flags and other things, we will fight from the side, and come to encircle Wei to save Zhao." β
Ryosuke Isoya and a group of officers looked nervously at the sand table. From time to time, a signal soldier reported the latest situation, and Ryosuke Isoya shook his head and said, "The people of China are too cunning, how many troops have they prepared in Taierzhuang, so that we can't break through at all." β
Originally, they were all aggressive and wanted to take the Japanese officers in Xuzhou. At this time, they no longer spoke, the superiority of the air force had been eliminated by the Nationalist planes who did not know where they came from, and most of the artillery had been wiped out by the Nationalist Army. It's about how to safely retreat.
After all, ammunition and food are running out.
Guarding Shinjo was Ken Togada, who looked at the listless soldiers one by one. I was so upset that Taierzhuang didn't fight for so long, and everyone had a bad premonition. "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." The Japanese soldiers in the cooking class shouted as they banged on a small gong.
Ken Tsugada lifted his pants and came to the officer's quarters, no matter what, the meal was to be eaten. "Yaga, what is this? Are you going to let us eat this? Suddenly, there was a commotion, mixed with the sound of flesh colliding, and when you heard it, you knew it was a fight.
He took out a pistol and shot it at the sky, scaring the people around him, and the crowd slowly separated, but saw a tall Japanese soldier of more than 1.7 meters grabbing a Japanese soldier who seemed to be a cooking class and fighting.
"Yaga, what's your situation? If you don't want to eat, don't eat at all. Tsuga Tian Ken grabbed the Japanese soldier and stood on tiptoe to slap him.
"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, it's not me who provokes trouble, look at it, what are we eating today?" The Japanese soldier didn't dare to resist and said.
Tsuga Tian Ken walked over to take a look, but it was a few black balls that looked like them.
"What is this?" Tsugada Ken touched it and asked.
"Wild vegetable dumplings." The cook whispered, "This is not rice, it's cornmeal, and now that's all left, and the rice is only for the officer." β
Toga Tian Ken looked at the cooking squad soldier and asked, "Where's the rice?" The soldiers don't even have rice to eat, and they should beat you. β
Jun Cao, who was in charge of logistics, came out and said, "It's gone, it's all eaten, and the wing hasn't distributed food for three days, and these are still snatched from the local people's homes." β
Ken Toga turned around and asked, "What's going on?" β
The military Cao shook his head and said, "Our logistics line has been cut off, not only the food we eat, but I heard that there is no ammunition to replenish, this food is only enough for us to eat for five days, and if we can't find new food for five days, we will run out of food." β
Tsukada punched the trunk of the tree with a strong punch, looked at the soldiers around him, suddenly laughed, and then gulped down a ball and said, "Gentlemen, everyone is the emperor's warrior, can't this let you kill the enemy?" Everyone eats heavily, and when they have the strength, they can kill the people of China, and they can grab new food. β
The Japanese soldiers were infected by Tsugada Ken's words, and they also shouted, "Kill all the people of Shina, kill the people of Shina!" β
"Damn, you still want to kill us?" Hu Lian heard the slogan of "Kill the Zhina" that shook the sky, and he was furious. "Mortar, hit Lao Tzu." Hu Lian waved his hand and shouted, but saw more than 20 mortars lined up, all of them fired three rounds of shells at a very fast speed. "Brothers, charge me, the artillery will follow me, ready for fire support at any time." Hu Lian stood up and shouted at the warriors behind him. I only saw countless figures emerging from the land, blowing towards Xinzhuang like the wind.
Toga Tian Ken looked at the Japanese soldiers who were rekindled by himself, and nodded with satisfaction, he felt that his story could be compared with the famous generals in ancient times.
But I heard a "woo woo" sound. Tsugada Ken looked up suspiciously, but saw dozens of shells flying towards him. "Nani?" Before he finished speaking, the explosion covered his voice, and in the blood, one arm flew high, and his hand was still tightly grasping the black wild vegetable rice ball.
"Enemy attack!!" A Japanese soldier shouted in panic, only to see countless Nationalist troops rushing towards him.
- Headquarters of the 10th Division
"Baga, where did the Zhina army come from, and they actually came to our flank." Ryosuke Isoya said anxiously, "How many people are there?" Did you find out? β
The signal soldier said: "Look at the number of flags, it should be the size of an army of the Zhina. β
Di Bugui said worriedly: "It's another army." We are surrounded by the four armies of the Chinese people, Your Excellency the division commander, I think we should first shift our strategy, now our ammunition supply can no longer support us to fight. The Air Force has no way to drop any more ammunition, so let's find a way to join the Fifth Division first. β
Ryosuke Isoya nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, order the troops to prepare for the transfer." Also, let the aviation give us tactical guidance, otherwise we will not be able to transfer safely. β
Shouichi Terauchi looked at the telegram of the 10th Division requesting a strategic transfer, and his heart could not calm down for a long time. Will the first defeat between China and Japan be in their own hands? Shouichi Terauchi couldn't accept this reality, he sighed helplessly and said, "It's much better to be defeated than to be wiped out."
He immediately dialed the phone of the air force unit and said, "Order: All the North China Air Force should be concentrated and a passage will be opened for the 10th Division, so that the 10th Division can be transferred smoothly." β
- Taierzhuang
Sun Lianzhong, who was in the headquarters, suddenly noticed that the gunfire had stopped. He had a flash of inspiration in his heart, and he walked out of the door in disbelief, came to the lookout, and looked at it with a telescope. But I saw that the Japanese army was constantly retreating, and it was almost completely withdrawn from Taierzhuang.
Sun Lianzhong didn't even have time to go down, and shouted excitedly, "Hurry." Quickly order the whole army to attack, tell Wu Pengju, let his cavalry chase me!! β
The tens of thousands of Chinese troops in Taierzhuang are boiling, everyone knows that the devil wants to escape, Chi Fengcheng looked at his remaining more than 1,000 brothers, and said with red eyes, "Brothers, that little devil killed my siblings, occupied my land, deceived my wife and daughter, and took my property, and now they want to run, do you say yes or not?" β
Which of the remaining soldiers was killed by the Japanese army without their comrades, and which one had no hatred in their hearts, and they all shouted "Revenge!" Avenge! Avenge! β
Chi Fengcheng nodded, waved his hand and said, "Brothers, chase me, completely eliminate the devils, the Japanese are not exhausted, and I vow not to go home!" β
Isoya Ryosuke couldn't have imagined that he had just gathered his troops, and a total of nearly 70,000 national troops near Taierzhuang rushed up, and he didn't surround himself, but kept driving himself north, Isoya Ryosuke was preparing to retreat, seeing this, he simply closed his eyes, covered his ears, and rushed north, along the way, there were constantly Japanese troops falling behind, and they were all killed by the national army chasing behind, and finally even the artillery and chariots were abandoned to the side because there was no gasoline, and a fierce chase was staged in the land of Lunan.
Ryosuke Isoya looked at the empty sky and scolded, "Where are all those damn aviation soldiers?" The empire spent so much money to train them, is this how they came to serve the empire? β
So where did the Japanese air force go?
- Jinan
Since Jinan was occupied by the Japanese army, the Japanese planes began to use the Jinan airfield to fight, and this time after receiving the order to fully dispatch to cover the 10th Division, they began to dispatch again before they had finished licking the wounds of the last time, and this time, their plans were completely leaked.
Jiang Intermediary looked at the information in front of him, and looked at the middle-aged man opposite in disbelief, "Is this information true?" Yu Nong, you should know how precious our Air Force is. β
Dai Li, who was on the other side, thought about the source of this information, gritted his teeth and said, "The student guarantees that the information on this is absolutely true, and before the student came, he had already consulted Chief of Staff Bai, and he also believed that from a military point of view, this plan was a very feasible policy for the Japanese army." β
Jiang intermediary heard that Bai Chongxi also thought it was true, nodded and walked to the phone, and after dialing the phone, he said, "I am Jiang intermediary, and I ordered Gao Zhihang to take off with the Soviet volunteers immediately and go to the vicinity of Zaozhuang to wait for the Japanese planes." β
Because it was an ambush, this time the Nationalist Air Force did not bring a single bomber at all, but all fighters, and a group of hundreds of fighters rushed to the predetermined location.
On the other side, more than 80 bombers and more than 40 fighters of the Japanese Air Force also took off one after another, and more than 40 bombers were ready to take off an hour after the first round.
This time, the Japanese Air Force is full of confidence, and they now have 20 of the latest 96 fighters in their fleet, which is a new type of aircraft with a maximum altitude of 9,800 meters and a speed of 440 kilometers per hour.
The Japanese Air Force Osa, who led the team, looked at his plane proudly, this is the crystallization of industrial technology, and the ignorant people will never be able to build their own planes.
Suddenly, he felt his eyes spark, and a plane next to him was already sparking.
"Above, they are on top!!" The sharp-eyed pilot shouted frantically, and Ueda looked up to see a group of planes diving down, and their target was his own group. "Yaga !!" Ueda shouted, a plane quickly grew larger in his eyes, and after a string of fire whips, the National Army plane passed by, and he could clearly see the color of the pilot's hair, which was yellow. "Yaga, Soviets, must be Soviets." Taku Ueda shouted angrily, turned the nose of the plane and said, "Retreat, retreat, this is a trap, we were ambushed." β
βLanling Town
Guan Zhenglin kept retreating. In just one day, he had retreated 20 miles, which was already his limit, and no matter how fast it was, the entire army would really be defeated.
Soon, he was in turn with the 333 Brigade. "Damn, the little devil keeps being behind like a dog, and he doesn't dare to come up, and he doesn't retreat, I said General Wang, am I acting a little fake?"
Wang Zhaozhi, the commander of the 333rd Brigade, shook his head and said, "I think the Japanese army has other ideas, no matter what, let's act according to the plan first." In front of us is the 10th Division. I don't know if Commander Tang has arranged it. β
As you can see from the large map, with the 39th Wing as the core, the two Japanese armies in the north and south are converging here, and around, Townenbo's troops have jumped back to the outer line and started a new encirclement. (To be continued.) )
