Chapter 36: Where Did the Reinforcements Go?
The southern front entered a stalemate for the time being, but the northern front was still not to be underestimated, especially since the Japanese army had advanced to the area near Jining in Shandong and Linyi in Shandong.
It can be said that the Battle of Xuzhou has been carried out so far, and the Japanese army on the northern front has occupied almost the entire Shandong.
After Sun Tongxuan was captured in Han Fuqu, the Third Army under his command finally gave up the idea of compromising with the Japanese army and fought with the Japanese army in earnest.
Sun Tongxuan still has a certain talent for commanding operations, since Liu Yuan handed over the Third Army to him completely.
The combat capability of the Third Army was markedly enhanced, and Ryosuke Isoya spent a great deal of effort in his vain attempt to break through Yanzhou City.
"How long can the Jining generation last? Sun Tongxuan's consumption is not too great. Liu Yuan asked Zuo Quan, the Jining generation is not Liu Yuan's reservation for the decisive battlefield, so naturally he doesn't want to consume too much strength here.
"The 13th Division of the Second Army and the 24th Division of the 35th Army are involved in Ryosuke Isoya on both flanks, Sun Tongxuan can definitely hold back the Japanese army, but now the Linyi generation is very dangerous, they are now like two fists, and they are hitting us at the same time, making it difficult for us to stop them." Zuo Quan said to Liu Yuan worriedly on the side.
"Telegram to Tang Enbo and ask him what's going on, why haven't he arrived at the scheduled battlefield yet?" Liu Yuan was a little dissatisfied with Tang Enbo.
After Chiang Kai-shek gave Tang Enbo to himself, Liu Yuan arranged Tang Enbo near Linyi, and according to the time calculation, he should have arrived in Linyi a long time ago.
"Commander, they have arrived near Linyi, but Tang Enbo's scouts have found armored units on their flanks, and they are afraid that they will be interspersed with detours by the Japanese army, and they are afraid of falling into a dilemma." Zuo Quan handed over Tang Enbo's telegram to Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan glanced at it and handed it to Li Zongren, after Li Zongren saw it, he shook his head and said to Liu Yuan, "The Central Army is troublesome, this Tang Enbo is much stronger than Huang Jie, but he is also the master of his own opinion." ”
"Tang Enbo is a little arrogant in his heart, I won't go on a trip, I'm afraid that I can't make him move just by telegraph." Liu Yuan got up and put on his military uniform, and said to Li Zongren, "When I am not in the headquarters, I must be cautious in using the Lushan training troops, especially Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang, which are the sharp knives I am going to send the little devil to the western sky." ”……
Sun Lianzhong wiped the smoke on his face, his throat was full of fire, and the soldiers were resting on the fortifications.
The female soldiers were diligent in helping the soldiers, and Sun Lianzhong himself was constantly condolences to the safety of the soldiers.
He himself was born in the Northwest Army, and during the decisive battle in western Anhui that year, the Northwest Army was completely annihilated, and Feng Yuxiang did what he thought was the most humiliating thing for the Northwest Army, that is, surrendering to the Tenth Army.
But today, apart from a few remnants of the Northwest Army, who would dare to say that Feng Yuxiang's joining the Tenth Army was a wrong choice.
Although today's Northwest Army has been integrated into the Southwest Army, they have really grown, they have strong combat effectiveness, and the war is very cruel.
However, since the war has been going on so far, Sun Lianzhong does have a trace of dissatisfaction with the commander in his heart, what is the commander of the theater thinking, what is it that he is cooperating with a child named Hu Lian, it is just that he looks obscene, and his tactics are also obscene, and there is a bit of a tough style of soldiers.
Originally, his losses on the battlefields of Songhu and Nanjing were quite eye-catching, and he even let himself and a child guard against Itagaki Seishiro, who was known as the Twin Stars of the Empire.
The war lasted for more than a month, and his losses were too heavy, and at this time, the reserves of the Southwest Army could not be transported, so he could only temporarily recruit soldiers, which made Sun Lianzhong feel vaguely uneasy.
Is he not taken seriously in the Southwest Army, otherwise how could that Hu Lian have students to supplement their troops.
However, this obscene young man does have a way of commanding and fighting a war, and the Japanese army has been forcibly attacking for so long, and he can use a rare number of troops to deal with the Japanese army, anyway, in his opinion, this is very unrealistic.
But today, even that obscene guy couldn't hold on, and he asked himself to jointly ask for help from the theater command.
The Japanese artillery was so powerful that the Japanese tanks tried in vain to break the city wall, but fortunately some soldiers jumped down from the wall with cluster grenades and blew up the tanks, otherwise they would be in danger.
The chief of staff of Zuo Quan whispered to himself that he was blessed, and it was the Tang Enbo Army that came to support him, which was one of the best troops in the Battle of Taiyuan, and he was not blessed.
But he never thought that he couldn't wait, and he couldn't wait, so he could only ask for help from the obscene Julio he had always looked down on.
Hu Lian's guy himself defended a Japanese division, the 16th Division, and he was also under a lot of pressure, but he still sent reinforcements to support him and gave him a cavalry division.
Seeing those short cavalry, sharp sabers, and extremely short horse pistols, they almost didn't kill Sun Lianzhonglei, what era is this, who armed Genghis Khan's descendants.
However, it is a good thing that there is a new force, and when I inquired, this support army turned out to be the orthodox Mongolian cavalry, the private army of General Liu Yuan's wife, and now Sun Lian Zhong has nothing to say.
Sun Lianzhong held the telescope in his hand, he fought very fiercely today, Sun Lianzhong firmly believed that Seishiro Itagaki would not fight with him at night, after all, the little devils were not iron, they were weak, and they were not much stronger.
At first, the Japanese army thought that they had powerful firepower, and showed off their artillery, dozens of artillery pieces were placed on the position, bombarding themselves.
was covered and attacked by the heavy artillery group directly under the headquarters at one time, and he Itagaki Seishiro also had to be honest for a while.
There was a rush of footsteps behind him, Sun Lianzhong put down the binoculars, and it turned out to be the leader of Sun Tongxuan's aid to his troops.
is called Luo Yong, a white-faced man, a typical Shandong man, more than 1.8 meters tall, looks like a wall.
"Commander Sun, when will the reinforcements that the headquarters said will arrive?" This Shandong man was covered in blood, with several bandages wrapped around his head, several sections of the armed belt broken, and the box gun was casually put on his waist. The best part is that a lot of crooked machine guns have been captured, but they really don't work.
Seeing that his new reinforcements were looking forward to the real reinforcements, Sun Lianzhong also felt that he had been beating the drum in his heart, "When will this grandson of Tang Enbo come, he will not be jealous of his Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and he will watch himself die." ”
Seeing the hesitation on Sun Lianzhong's face, Luo Yong's face darkened and said, "Our Third Group Army wants to fight devils, and now that the commander of the group army has been changed, we do kill the enemy with our hearts, but how can the war be eroded to such an extent, the Central Army will not save it when they see death, it doesn't matter if they save it or not, the Japanese army has already passed Meng Lianggu and taken Linyi to the bone, then you can go down to Zaozhuang, so Xuzhou is dangerous." ”
Sun Lianzhong didn't speak, things have indeed reached an extremely dangerous situation, if the reinforcements don't come, Linyi will definitely be lost, and he may have to die in Linyi, Shandong.
