Chapter 65: Counterattack (3)
Looking at Teng County, this ancient county seat, under the sun, is very beautiful.
Dai Zhiqi prepared three divisions, spread out the fan surface, and prepared to launch an attack on the Shangang detachment, but he himself may not have imagined that it was his attack that opened the prelude to the great counteroffensive on the Xuzhou battlefield.
The 42nd Army attacked Tengxian with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and the Shangang detachment of Tengxian County immediately mobilized troops to launch an attack on Dai Zhiqi's vanguard troops.
Judging by the counterattack of the Japanese army, there was at least one brigade in Tengxian County, and he ordered the vanguard to entangle with the Japanese army to provide opportunities for other attacking troops.
In the face of the attack of the Chinese troops, the Japanese army did not have the slightest idea of showing weakness, after all, many times the war is fought for in one breath, and whoever shows weakness first will lose.
In the outer position of Teng County, a fierce battle took place in Chendian.
The morale of the Chinese troops was high, while the Japanese troops were recharged and ready to go, and both sides had a desire to fight.
In the first battle, the two sides were mixed up. The 42nd Army broke through the depth of the Japanese army and smashed the Yellow Dragon, while the Japanese cut off the waist of the Great Dragon and surrounded the advancing troops.
The small Chen shop is full of blood and piles of corpses.
The battle lasted for twenty-four hours, until dawn the next day, and after the battle, Dai Zhiqi almost used up all the flares and tracer bullets.
However, the war is still in a stalemate, and China and Japan will not give in to each other. Dai Zhiqi was furious, shot the brigade commander, and led his troops to attack Chendian.
Dai Zhiqi was eager to win, and naturally dared to fight without fear of life and death, but Sasaki Daisa, the captain of the 78th Wing of the Japanese Army, felt that the situation was not so simple.
The first encounter with the Chinese troops gave him a lesson, which caught the family off guard, at that time he had insufficient troops, nominally a wing, but many of the troops were local security forces, where there was combat effectiveness, and finally Tengxian supplemented his two brigades.
His strength had surpassed that of a wing, but after a day of fighting, he found that the Chinese troops were not weaker than them in the slightest.
What the Great Japanese Empire is most proud of, brave soldiers, invincible artillery, but this time the opposing troops actually engaged in an artillery duel with them. He had 105-mm howitzers in one of his wings, and the China taught them a lesson.
Dai Zhiqi's offensive was too ferocious, so that Sasaki Daisa, who was ready to compete with the Shina officers, had no capital, and the Yamaoka detachment gave him all the troops that could support him.
Sasaki is well aware that there are definitely not many troops in Fuji Prefecture now, and in other directions, there are still some scattered troops that are scattered.
Dai Zhiqi is a guilty body, and he is extremely eager for military exploits, so when he shot the incompetent brigade commander, one of the soldiers dared to back down.
Especially since he, as a military commander, has been on the front-line battlefield, and the soldiers naturally have no idea of being afraid of death. And after Dai Zhiqi launched an offensive, Sasaki Daisa could no longer compete with the Chinese troops.
From fighting with the Chinese troops, to defending. And at this time, when Sasaki was depressed, the captain of the Yamaoka detachment transferred a part of his troops from him.
Although Sasaki is only a big one, it does not hinder his tactical vision, and he knows very well that if he transfers troops here, then he will have to retreat. However, Shangang did not have any way to insist on the transfer of troops.
There is no way to do it, there are too many Chinese troops, more and more Chinese troops appear near Teng County, he can no longer defend it, so he can only keep drawing troops to defend.
Then a large number of troops appeared in the east and west of the city, and they realized that this was the Chinese troops who wanted to do it to themselves, and no one thought that at this time, China chose to gather a large number of troops and attack him.
At this time, Yamaoka knew very well that he would not have much time to last, so he could only ask his superior, Ryosuke Isoya, for support.
But at this time, Dai Zhiqi was not ready to give the Japanese army any time.
Just when Dai Zhiqi was rushing to the front line, Zuo Quan, the chief of staff of the theater, actually came to Dai Zhiqi's headquarters.
Dai Zhiqi almost died of depression, you must know that Liu Yuan, the commander of the Dao Dao, has already ordered to prohibit senior military commanders and fighters from going to the front line in person, and this time he is not here to arrest himself.
However, when Zuo Quan told him about Xuzhou's battle plan, Dai Zhiqi's heart settled down a lot.
"The scale of this battle is very large, it is definitely enough for the little devil to eat a pot, and the vision of the theater command is not tightly limited to Tengxian here, the eyes of the headquarters are placed in Jining. But you are the troops who fired the first shot. ”
"After you launched an attack, it was the 35th Group Army that launched an attack in the Jining area, Dai Zhiqi, you must take Tengxian as soon as possible, and then attack Jining with the main force in this direction, so that our game of chess will be on fire, and we may be able to completely annihilate Yuan Xiongmi."
Zuoquan's voice was very calm. After the coward Ryosuke Isoya retreated from Teng County, the original plan to trap Ryosuke Isoya under the city of Xuzhou disappeared.
At this time, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi proposed a new plan, that is, to completely annihilate the Yuan Division, and General Liu Yuan, who was sitting in Linyi, had already agreed to this strategic plan. For a time, more than 200,000 Chinese troops moved rapidly.
"In the early hours of tomorrow morning at the latest, an attack will be launched in the direction of Jinan, and your troops must be fast, so as not to make the Xia Yuan Division realize that they have fallen into an encirclement and flee at the least."
"Senior, don't worry, we will complete the task." While Dai Zhiqi was excited, he couldn't sleep and was a little lonely.
As the elite of Whampoa, it was because he was not used to the rules and regulations of Senior Liu Yuan that he finally returned to the ranks of the national army, and his choice meant that he could only play a supporting role in this battle.
The only one who can really play the leading role is the excellent 35th Group Army, but Dai Zhiqi is ready for a good performance, and he must not be underestimated. Let everyone know that their military university is not for nothing.
As a result, Dai Zhiqi's attack became even more manic, and by the evening, he had already controlled the outer area of Fuji County, and Sasaki could only retreat one after another, with his back to Fuji County, but he did not dare to enter it.
"The little devil doesn't seem to be able to do it anymore." The chief of staff said in Dai Zhiqi's ear.
Dai Zhiqi looked at the binoculars for a while, nodded and said, "Pass my order, the whole army will strengthen corporatization, and tomorrow at the latest, we must take down the Japanese army here." ”
"Won't you be a little impatient to take it tomorrow?" The chief of staff glanced at it, only to realize that the commander's face was full of anger, and immediately changed his tone.
"Take it, but if you want to take it, you must destroy Sasaki tonight." said the chief of staff.
"I think we can continue to fight the little devils at night, we don't sleep, and they don't want to sleep." The commander of the 26th division took a sip of wine and said to himself.
In the early stage, the little devils fought very strongly, and even surrounded the vanguard of the 42nd Army, which shows that the little devils still seem to have confidence.
But as more and more troops entered the battlefield, the little devil was obviously not good, and in the evening he even began to take a defensive position.
Seeing the support of his subordinates, Dai Zhiqi was somewhat grateful in his heart, so he made up his mind, "Our vanguard troops are withdrawn from the frontal reconnaissance to confuse the enemy, and then the 26th Division will fight over from the flank, and then cross the Jin River and make dumplings for Sasaki." The reserve was transferred up and was responsible for blocking the frontal forces of the Japanese army. ”
The 42nd Army launched a night battle for two consecutive nights, making the life of the little devil miserable.
At half past one o'clock in the morning, the Chinese troops fired a volley of artillery, and dozens of artillery pieces attacked the Japanese position.
The shelling lasted for half an hour, extending several hundred meters on the battlefield, and taking advantage of the darkness, the Chinese commandos quickly penetrated the Japanese positions.
The Japanese troops lying on the position were quickly leveled, followed by the fierce charge of the large-scale Chinese troops, and the Japanese position quickly collapsed.
The assault team broke through the enemy's four positions in a row, and was finally blocked by the Japanese army, but Dai Zhiqi was unwilling to give the Japanese army a chance to breathe, so he mobilized two brigades in a row to continue the attack on the breakthrough.
In order to resist Dai Zhiqi's attack, Sasaki mobilized all his wounded troops, and finally stabilized the crumbling defensive line.
But what Sasaki didn't expect was that when they stabilized the frontal battlefield, a large number of Chinese troops suddenly killed on his flank. And at this time, Sasaki no longer had the ability to continue to resist.
Sasaki's telegram was in the hands of Yamaoka, and he felt that his heart was about to be broken, and the three Chinese troops invariably chose to launch a night battle, and it was the second night, and the troops were already exhausted from fighting.
But the Chinese troops still fought, leaving the hill feeling emaciated.
Defending the city pays attention to one army in the city and one army outside the city, and it is not possible to defend the lonely city. But in the face of the battlefield that is about to collapse, there is no way to go to work.
"Your Excellency, I think that at this time, Sasaki can be transferred into the castle and hold on to Fuji Prefecture, while seeking the support of the general of the temple." Chief of Staff Yves Sato said in a hurry.
"At this time, he is already surrounded by Chinese troops, how can they enter the city?" Shan Gang said dejectedly that the Chinese troops who came out of the flank were their nightmare.
"No matter what, we still have to save them, otherwise they will die outside, we will draw a squadron of troops from the Western Front, and then select a squadron from the garrison in the city, and then select some people from the civilian personnel, baggage troops, and the wounded to form a temporary brigade to launch a counterattack on China, we have been weak for so long, the China troops must think that we have no strength to counterattack, if we launch a sudden counterattack, we will definitely be able to rescue Sasaki Daisa." Yves Sato said.
Yamaoka thought for a while, feeling that at this time, he really couldn't think of any other way, but when his order had just reached the Western Front, he was protested by the 29th Wing, and the phone call of Saito, the captain of the Wing, directly reached the headquarters of Yamaoka.
"Your Excellency Detachment Commander, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese troops we are facing is very strong, at least one division of troops, and there are only two major teams left of our troops here, you still have to mobilize my troops, do you want my defense line to collapse?"
In the mixed sound of machine guns and mortars, Saito's face turned bitter, he really couldn't mobilize his troops, if he didn't rely on the mountains to fight with the Shina troops. He bet he had let the Chinese forces annihilate a long time ago.
"Saito-kun, please think clearly, if Sasaki Daisa is annihilated, Fuji Prefecture will become an isolated city." On the other end of the phone, the leader of the hill detachment tried his best to ensure that his tone was calm.
But Saito could still hear the fear in his words, not only was Yamaoka afraid, but Saito was also afraid.
"It is a wrong choice to stick to Teng County, we should move to the Yanzhou region and fight side by side with the 108th Division, so that our chances of survival are very high." Saito suggests to.
Yamaoka said angrily, "Saito Daisa, you have to be clear, we are imperial soldiers, even if we have to retreat, we can't give up our comrades, please carry out the order."
However, although Saito was more annoying, Saito's words gave him a good suggestion, that is, to retreat to Yanzhou.
