Chapter 620: The Counteroffensive Begins
It's quiet, it's so quiet!
This kind of unusual quietness made Furong Zhenping feel like a thorn in his back, and he felt creepy, attacking Taierzhuang, for nine days, his team paid the price of more than half of the casualties, and failed to take this small city!
Of course, the gunfire did not stop, and the silence that Furong Zhenping felt had nothing to do with the sound effect of "silence", it was purely an intuition, the intuition of a soldier. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fidgety, he doesn't know what the problem is, but it just doesn't feel right, like some animals' sixth sense before disaster strikes.
In the evening, he received a telegram from Kei Seya, telling him to slow down the attack on Taierzhuang, but maintain the current situation while secretly shrinking his forces.
He didn't know what he wanted to do, but this was a prelude to a change of strategy, otherwise he wouldn't have shrunk his forces at this time.
Of course, this is not a small blow to him, which means that the credit for conquering Taierzhuang will most likely not fall on his head, is it Seya Kai's distrust and dissatisfaction with his ability?
He inspired a letter to Seya begging to give him another day, and he will definitely be able to take Taierzhuang!
But this telegram was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no reply.
"Officer on duty, did General Seya call back?" Fukuei got up from the bed and exchanged for a communications officer on duty.
"Not yet, Your Excellency!"
"Well, go ahead, if there's a call back, report it immediately!" Furong Zhenping waved his hand, his brows furrowed, this time he couldn't guess what the intention of the above was.
"Hay!"
"By the way, what time is it?"
"It's 4:29 a.m......."
Before the second lieutenant on duty could finish speaking, he felt a violent tremor under his feet, and a violent explosion came, which was less than a kilometer away from the Japanese position of Furong's wing headquarters!
The fireball in the sky, the churning smoke, suddenly reflected half of the sky!
Furong Zhenping was stunned, and there was a short circuit in his brain for a moment, what was going on?
Boom ......
Immediately after that, shells fell like a meteor shower, all of which smashed on the Japanese positions, which can be distinguished from the power of the explosion of the shells, as well as the tail of the shells.
This is a grenade with great power and range!
Heavy artillery for the Chinese!
Furong Zhenping was a spirit, and a cold current suddenly spread from the soles of his feet to his head and neck. The roots of his legs trembled, and he almost squirted out......
The Chinese fought back!
After fighting for so many days, I did not see the heavy artillery of the Chinese attacking, and at this time, suddenly the shells were smashed down without money, what is not a counterattack?
"Counterattack, organize a counterattack immediately......" Furong Zhenping didn't care about the **** in his bladder, ran and rushed into the headquarters, shouting at the overwhelmed staff officers.
Fight back, fight back!
At 4:30 a.m. on May 3, the Taierzhuang counterattack began, and the southern front took the lead, Lao Li still listened to Leng Feng's opinion, and did not dismantle the heavy artillery regiment at first, but concentrated the remaining artillery of the Second Army, the 60th Army in western Yunnan and the two artillery battalions of the new 38th Brigade, and began to prepare for half an hour of artillery fire on the Japanese position!
Behind the binoculars, Li Delin and the other leaders of the five theaters blushed with excitement one by one, and concentrated more than 150 guns of large and small calibers to launch a fierce bombardment of the Japanese positions, and the number of shells consumed per minute was as large as five or six hundred!
Who has fought such a battle?
More than 15,000 rounds of artillery shells were consumed in half an hour, which was to shoot out one-third of the little money accumulated in the Fifth War Zone.
Shells flew everywhere, and the Japanese troops on the position did not expect such a fierce shelling from the Chinese side of the JD, and it was just before dawn.
Many Japanese soldiers were still asleep in a daze, when they were blown up by shells falling from the sky!
On the Taierzhuang position, the officers and soldiers of the new 38th Brigade silently watched the explosion and disgusting fire on the Japanese position, and what came to their ears was the screams of the Japanese army before they died......
The heavy machine gun was shattered by the blown parts, and even the tank could not withstand the bombardment of the heavy howitzer, and was blown into a fireball in an instant.
Incendiary bombs, blasting bombs......
I've been bombed all day long, and this time it's the turn of these ****s, it's really relieving!
Although the main attack task was not obtained, the Japanese army in Taierzhuang City was still left to the new 38th Brigade, and the Japanese army here is now afraid that it is already panicked!
It's time for revenge!
All the officers and men involved in the counterattack lay silently in the trenches, clenching their weapons in their hands, waiting for the order to attack at any time.
Ten minutes later, the artillery fire began to extend deep into the Japanese position, and at the same time, the positions of the mountain artillery and field artillery, which were close to the firing distance, quickly moved forward to the Japanese position!
Cross close shelling, maintain a continuous fire, so that the Japanese can not organize an effective return fire!
The Japanese army was indeed stunned, and the return fire was very limited, and in the early reconnaissance, GJ did not say that he knew the Japanese artillery position completely, but the general location was still known.
When the Japanese fired back, they immediately exposed their position, and immediately suffered several times as many shells, and the bombed artillery carriage was reduced to a pile of fragments.
"Cool, ****, hahaha......" Chi Fengchen's troops are at the forefront as the main force of attack, he is a master who does not want to die, and he likes to charge in front of him in battle, so the 31st Division has strong combat effectiveness, which is well-known in the Northwest Army.
"Master, I can't run this head, I'm afraid the little devil will be finished this time......"
"It's hard to say now, when the brothers charge, be vigilant, don't patronize and pick up things, it's ours, it's indispensable, on the battlefield, life is self-sufficient, understand?"
"Understood!"
The artillery fire gradually extended, and the Chinese JD, which had been prepared for a long time, began to counterattack on all fronts, and tens of thousands of people crossed the trenches and outflanked the Japanese troops on a front of more than ten kilometers.
This scene is really shocking!
The reporters accompanying the army in the Fifth War Zone took out their cameras and camcorders one after another to record this precious scene as a permanent treasure.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, lie down ......"
"Boom!"
A huge fireball rose into the air, and a huge wave of air flew him out seven or eight meters at once, and when he got up from the ground, when he looked up, he was dumbfounded, his headquarters was razed to the ground!
"Retreat, retreat......" Furong Zhenping shouted at the top of his voice, the soul shadow he had been frightened was gone, death was so close, at this time, if he didn't retreat, I was afraid that he would be completely gone in the next second.
Masaka, who slept in Seya, who was far away in Yicheng, even if the battle was fierce, he didn't forget to satisfy a man's desires. Wang, every night he will summon two singers to sleep with him.
can satisfy two women at the same time, at his age, it is quite brave.
"General, General......"
"Hmm......" Kei Seya thought he was dreaming, and with a sigh, he turned over and fell asleep again.
"General, Chinese counterattacked......" Outside the door, the adjutant was about to cry, if he didn't know Seya Kai's habits, he would have kicked the door and rushed in.
"What's the matter, it's only what time it is, get out!" Seya Kai didn't hear it clearly, so he scolded angrily and disturbed his sleep, which was unforgivable.
The adjutant was sweating profusely and was stunned at the door, he didn't dare not report such a big thing, even if he was scolded, he had to say it, otherwise he couldn't afford to bear this responsibility.
"General, something is wrong, please come out!"
This time, Seya Kai heard it clearly, and although he was still a little unhappy, he still found a samurai suit and climbed up from the tatami mat.
"What's the matter?"
"General, the Chinese army has launched a major counteroffensive on the whole line of Taierzhuang, and Furong Dazuo has retreated in the direction of the mud ditch......"
"Yaga, who told him to retreat?" Seya Kai angrily tore the telegram to shreds, "Immediately telegraph Furong Daisa, ordering him not to retreat, hold on, hold on, understand!" ”
"Hay!"
"Damn, how could Chinese counterattack at this time, where did their troops come from...... Intelligence officer, get me the intelligence officer! Kei Seya rushed into the headquarters and yelled at a Japanese lieutenant.
At this time, Seya Kai also heard the sound of violent gunfire from the direction of Taierzhuang, and it was obvious that this time he was in big trouble.
He thought of the telegram he received yesterday from Ryosuke Isoya, asking him to suspend the attack on Taierzhuang. Night Kung Fu, the Chinese launched a counteroffensive!
Could it be that the Chinese side is going to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese Empire in Xuzhou?
Decisive battle?
Great, a fierce light flashed in Seya Kai's small eyes, stupid Chinese, thinking that launching a counterattack at this time would defeat the invincible Imperial Japanese Army?
Pigeon's Nest, Headquarters of the 20th Legion.
"The south has already begun?"
"It's been almost half an hour since the attack was launched at 4:30!" Wan Jianfan looked at his watch and said to Tang Keqin, who was standing in the courtyard looking in the direction of Taierzhuang.
"I thought that the battle of this Taierzhuang belonged to my 20th Army, but I didn't expect that the president would transfer the 60th Army over." Tang Keqin said a little gloomily.
"Will the president think we ......?"
"No, my thoughts and ideas are clear to the president, but this time the president didn't think about using the Japanese......" Tang Keqin realized that he had leaked his words, but fortunately, he was surrounded by cronies, no outsiders, and he was not afraid to spread it.
"Are all our troops in place?"
"Some haven't yet, the 52nd Army has called, they have surrounded the 10th Wing of the Japanese Army, and they can attack at any time, please give the order from the corps commander!"
"When you're ready, you can attack, you don't have to wait for my order!" Tang Keqin ordered.
"Yes!"
"When will the 85th Army be able to reach the predetermined position, encircle and annihilate the enemy in Zaozhuang, and cut off the way for the Japanese army to retreat north, this must not be lost!" Tang Keqin said very politely.
"Commander Wang personally led the team to command, it is expected that after dawn, we can complete the encirclement of the east and west of Zaozhuang, we have the internal line of Zaozhuang Coal Company, and it is not a problem to occupy Zaozhuang!"
"Well, that's good!" Tang Keqin's face was a little pale, he was now in a very passive position, once Li Delin caught the handle, not only would he not be able to get the merits, but he might also be punished, so he had to be careful and fight this battle well.
"Tell Wang Zhonglian that you must send a warning force to the Japanese army in Lincheng, and you must not be careless!"
"Yes!"
