Chapter 385: Iron Pincers Close

"On the 13th, about 4,000 people of the Japanese Iizuka detachment and the 371st regiment of our new 37 brigade fought fiercely for two days and nights in 30 miles, and the casualties were relatively large, and now they have withdrawn to the area of Taipingji to set up defenses, and in the early morning of the 14th, the Iizuka detachment launched a fierce attack on our Taipingji position under the cover of eight tanks and armored vehicles and dozens of artillery pieces, and our department suffered more than 100 casualties, and successfully repelled the attack of the Iizuka detachment when the enemy fought fiercely."

"Got it." Leng Feng's face was solemn, whether the 371st Regiment could withstand the attack of the Iizuka Detachment was related to whether the annihilation operation against the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army could be a complete success.

The 9th Division of the Japanese Army in Yangzhou has increased its troops, this is another big chunk of enemies, if there is no force to contain it, the pressure of more than 10,000 people will be pressed at once, and Leng Feng will feel a little out of breath.

"Division, Fifth War Zone Commander Li telegram!"

"Read!"

"Honor the 1st Division Commander Leng Junjian, I have ordered the 24th Group Army stationed in northern Jiangsu to make an offensive posture against the Yangzhou area, so as to relieve the huge pressure on the right flank of your division and plan for your division to annihilate the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army. Fifth Theater Commander's Department, Li Delin, February 14, 1938. Xue Ping said seriously.

"Call back, thank you Commander-in-Chief Li for your concern, our department will definitely deal a major blow to the Japanese army's living forces south of the Chihe River and north of the Yangtze River in strict accordance with the first stage of the plan!"

"Yes!"

"Boss, do you want to transfer a regiment from Mingguang to help?"

"No, Mingguang's 40th Brigade will not be easily mobilized, and as soon as it moves now, the Japanese drama will find out that Mingguang has been occupied by our army, and it will be hidden for as long as it can." Leng Feng said.

The second stage of the battle plan is mainly for the troops of the Fifth Theater of Operations, and the 1st Division of Honor will also get a piece of the pie.

"But this Iizuka detachment seems to be very powerful, Cheng Gang's regiment is only 2,000 people, and the strength is less than half of the Iizuka detachment, how can this be defended?" Guo Weiquan also became anxious.

"You don't have to worry, Cheng Gang is not so easy to defeat, we did not ask him to defeat the Japanese army. Just to hold back the pace of the Japanese army, as long as it drags on for ten days and eight days, give us enough time to eat the 65th Wing, and then the 9th Division will come to the nest. We're not afraid. Leng Feng said heavily.

"Telegraph Cheng Gang, don't stick to it, attack flexibly, as long as you hold the Japanese Iizuka detachment for a week, I will give him a great credit!" Leng Feng ordered.

"Give the order to Hou Juntang. A battalion was withdrawn from the supplementary brigade to assist the special mission in strengthening the defensive line in the direction of Wujiang Town. Leng Feng's gaze turned to the location of Wujiang Town.

Ushijima's move caused himself a huge problem, so that he had to draw out the most elite special service group to deal with the Japanese troops who landed from here.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore!

Leng Feng looked at the location of Wujiang Town, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

After encircling the 65th Wing of the Japanese Army, the first thing to be solved was this Japanese army that landed from Wujiang Town.

Liangjiao Ye is not a fool a small Japanese cavalry detachment has been sent out for two hours, why hasn't there been a response yet, and the news that the town's telegraph office responded was. A handful of anti-Japanese elements attempted to attack the town of Wuyi and were repulsed.

This news corresponds to his previous judgment, which he believes is credible.

But because he was busy commanding the 65th Wing to fight with the squadron, he saw the matter of sending the cavalry squad to the back of his mind, and he only remembered it at this time.

Counting the time, the cavalry squad should have already arrived in Wujiang Town, and if the telephone line was damaged and did not report in time, a soldier should also be sent back to say goodbye.

This is a very abnormal thing, and everything that is abnormal must be done with caution.

The two corners of the industry immediately ordered a radio contact with the telegraph office in Wuyi Town. Ask about the cavalry squad.

"Osa, the cavalry squad leader sent out is not Second Lieutenant Hase, why are you asking Second Lieutenant Ishihara?" The communications staff officer is a little strange, is the chief mistaken?

"It's Second Lieutenant Ishihara." The two corners glared at the staff officer fiercely. There is no explanation.

Wuyi Town Telegraph Office.

"Detachment leader, the Japanese army telegraph, sent by the 65th Wing, asking if a cavalry squad led by Second Lieutenant Ishihara has arrived in Wuyi Town, how can we get back?"

"It's clear, and we can take it. Commercial radio stations in this band nearby can be received, so the Japanese army is not afraid that such an important telegram will be intercepted? ”

"Theoretically, it can be intercepted, but in fact, I am afraid that such a message has been received, and ordinary people will not believe that the Japanese army will send a report in such a clear code."

"The Japanese army has already sent an inquiry before, and the Japanese cavalry squad has been wiped out by me, and it seems that they have already noticed it, and this telegram may be a test of us at all." Niu Xianmin Road.

"Makes sense." The staff officers of the detachment headquarters of the northbound detachment agreed.

"Then how should I get back, the Japanese army will definitely wait for the call back, and after a long time, it will definitely be exposed?"

"Call back, there is indeed a cavalry squad stationed in Wuyi Town, and whether the captain is a second lieutenant Ishihara is being verified." Niu Xianmin commanded.

"Yes!"

This is a tactic that involves deception, and for things that are not clear, you must be skillful when answering, and you must leave room for the other party's imagination.

In this way, the other party will not know whether you know or not, and it will be difficult to judge.

Of course, if the other party is a master, you can immediately detect the flaw, but if the other party is not very smart, it is easy to get entangled.

"Verifying!" When Liangjiao Yezuo got the callback, he immediately frowned, he originally wanted to use this fake identity to test whether Wuyi Town had fallen into the hands of the enemy.

If he falls into the hands of the enemy, and the other party tries to deceive himself, he will inevitably give him an affirmative answer, because by this time the cavalry detachment must have been killed.

But the other side actually gave a "verifying" reply, he was a little unsure, what happened in Wuyi Town, there were two gunshots, the first lasted less than seven or eight minutes, and the second time was shorter.

Intuition told Liangjiao Yezuo that something must have happened in Wuyi Town, but what happened, he was not sure, the ** squadron here suddenly increased the intensity of the attack, and the chariots that had not been used before also appeared on the battlefield, putting a lot of pressure on Liangjiaoye.

Although Liangjiao Yezuo had a wing of elite Japanese troops under his command, as well as other squadrons of cavalry, artillery and chariots, the squadron on the opposite side was not badly equipped.

It is basically equivalent to the equipment of the Japanese army. And even surpass the Japanese army in some respects.

The squadron suddenly changed its defensive style and turned into an active offense, which is already worth pondering and doubting, but the two corners of the industry never thought that the opposite squadron had the idea of eating him and his 65th team in one bite.

He doesn't think the squadron. Even if the 1st Division of Honor took out all its strength, it still had the ability to eat an entire wing of the Japanese army in a field battle.

What's more, there is a strong backing of the division behind the two-cornered work.

This is where the two corners of karma are strong.

In any case, Wuyi Town cannot afford to lose, it must be firmly grasped in its hands, not only about a large amount of wealth. There is also a back road, so Liangjiao Yezuo considered pulling out an infantry squadron to enter Wuyi Town, if something really happened, a squadron could completely solve the problem.

"Someone, go and call the second lieutenant of the third brigade to Rushima!"

On the east bank of the Qingliu River, a torrent of steel rolled in, and the remaining two regiments of the new 37th Brigade led by Liao Se attacked more than 4,000 people.

The east bank of the Qingliu River is the left flank of the Japanese army, because of the wide river, the Japanese army has only deployed a small number of vigilant troops on this side, and they are also afraid that the squadron will detour from the left flank.

However, the wide clear stream of the river and the water up to 10 meters deep are natural barriers. And the boats in this area are also controlled by the Japanese army, so it is not easy to cross the river and sneak attack.

Of course, Liangjiao Yezuo also knew that the Honorary First Division had a large number of ferries in his hands, and these boats could completely sail into the Qingliu River, but he was not unguarded, not only sent people to monitor the river around the clock, but also set up observation posts on the other side of the river.

However, all this was of no use to the rushing iron flow. Although the Japanese army claims to be mechanized, compared with the European and American powers, his mechanization is at most half.

The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is world-class, and the equipment can barely be regarded as second-rate.

On the ability to maneuver on the ground. The 1st Honor Division was no worse than the Japanese army, and all the cars and land vehicles in Nanjing were looted, and all of them were allocated to a division, and the mobility ability was poor?

Therefore, when the steel torrent of the new 37th Brigade was almost crushed all the way. The Japanese observation post on the east bank of the Qingliu River and the three rangers were torn to pieces almost instantly.

"Report, report Dazuo......" A panicked Japanese second lieutenant rushed directly into the command room of the two corners of the industry, his face covered with sweat, and shouted in horror.

"Bastard, what's so flustered?" Ryokaku had just ordered a squadron of Japanese troops to return to Wuyi Town, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with it.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, it's not good, there are a large number of Chinese army ...... on the left flank"

"What?" Liangjiao was taken aback, how could there be a large number of Zhina troops on the left flank, how could this be possible?

The intelligence does not say that the Chinese army has built defensive positions in the Wulidun and Jiangjiadu areas, but this was discovered by aircraft reconnaissance.

If this army is attacking, why bother Wulidun, Jiangjiadu has built a large number of defensive positions, isn't this a superfluous move?

And yesterday's reconnaissance evening also came with news, and there was no movement in the Zhina army stationed in **, what's going on?

"Dazuo, what to do, once they cross the river, we are in danger!"

"Don't panic, at least it's not easy for them to cross the Qingliu River, order a large team to quickly rush to the left flank to set up defenses and prevent the Chinese army from crossing the river!"

"Hay!"

"Report to Dazuo, the right flank of our army has found traces of the cavalry of the Chinese army, the number is unknown, and the two cavalry detachments roaming on our right flank have all lost contact......"

Liangjiao Ye was shocked, his face turned white all of a sudden, if it was just the left wing that found the Zhina army, then across a clear river, it was not so easy for the Zhina army to cross the river, at least it could give him a little time to react.

But the right flank found the cavalry, which was troublesome, the cavalry came and went like the wind, and was the best at raiding, and the right flank did not have any natural barrier to block, once it rushed over, it must be very troublesome.

"Quick, transfer three brigades and cavalry squadrons to reinforce the right flank!"

Surrounded on three sides, what do the people of China want to do? Liangjiao Ye Zuo felt that his back was soaked all of a sudden, thinking of the two gunshots in Wuyi Town, and in an instant, he sat down as if he had been drained of his spirit, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.
