Chapter 54: The Situation Has Changed
Sun Liren fought a happy battle, and it didn't take long, and when the Japanese army in Daiwang Mountain had not been cleared, Liu Yuan's telegram had already arrived.
The mechanized brigade was ordered to quickly stop the pursuit of the Japanese army and immediately move closer to the Sanguanmiao generation.
At this time, Liu Yuan issued such an order, and Sun Liren knew very well that it must be that the battle in the north of Linyi City was not going well. It was time for Liu Yuan to have to change his strategy.
Sun Liren is not the kind of person who has the courage to disobey Liu Yuan, as soon as the order arrives, Sun Liren immediately issues orders to the troops.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments immediately ceased their pursuit of the Japanese and returned to the army, and at the same time sent a telegram to Wang Zhonglian, the commander of the 85th Army, telling him that they were about to leave.
What Sun Liren could think of, Liu Yuan could naturally think of, and when Sun Liren received the telegram, the 85th Army also received an order.
The 85th Army and other units were commanded by Tang Enbo, commander of the 20th Army Corps, and hoped to eliminate the 9th Brigade and the mechanized mixed brigade of the Japanese army in the shortest possible time.
Tang Enbo felt that happiness came very suddenly, originally Tang Enbo thought that he was not playing well, and he was likely to be reprimanded by Liu Yuan, but suddenly received a telegram from Liu Yuan.
And he was entrusted with important tasks, and for a time Towne had the urge to die for his confidant.
"The commander is too stingy, if you give me quick meat to eat, leave the knife, take away Sun Liren's good knife, and let yourself fight devils." Townenburg walked around the headquarters depressedly.
"Commander, although the commander has handed over the power to us, I feel that things are not so simple, which proves that the center of gravity of the war is about to change, and it may not be long before we are here and may not be the main battlefield." Wan Jianfan whispered next to Tang Enbo.
Tang Enbo nodded and said, "I have long been ready to be a supporting role, but the commander gave me a chance to perform, you see that now the Japanese army's broken wing has been completely annihilated by Sun Liren, and when the Japanese army's ninth brigade was in Daiwang Mountain, the losses were also extremely heavy, and now there is only one wing left, this is a good time for us to show our strength and give the little devil a long insight." ”
Tang Enbo thought secretly on the side, in fact, sometimes it is a good thing to have a strong commander, because he is not afraid of defeating the battle, but it is not a good thing, everything is decided by the superiors, and there is almost no chance for his own performance, which makes people feel depressed.
Tang Enbo has been thinking that if he is no longer in the Fifth War Zone, then relying on his favorite Chiang Kai-shek, then he will definitely not have to look at people's faces, but in the war, he will definitely not be so happy, should he tell the chairman after the war to continue to stay next to Liu Yuan to fight!? At least it's a pleasure to fight devils.
"Order Wang Tao's troops to penetrate behind enemy lines from the bridge ditch and cliff area, Zhang Xuejian's department to continue the attack from the frontal battlefield, and Zhang Tao's department to cross the river on the east bank, not to be crazy or to become a demon, Lao Tzu fought today, and said that he would eat the ninth brigade and the mechanized mixed brigade of the little devil, and give our 20th Army Commander a long face." Tang Enbo looked at the map and said confidently.
Liu Yuan, the military commander, was too strong, and there was hardly any chance to perform around him.
Now that he is finally free to lead the army, he has to show what he says. And the troops of the little devils suffered great losses.
Both troops are remnants, and they can have a total of 7,000 people, which is already bragging to them, of course, if they defeat them, they will naturally boast of more than 10,000 people, at least a big victory.
The combat effectiveness of the remaining Japanese troops is not as strong as before, while the combat effectiveness of the 85th Army and Zhang Zhen's division is very good, and the troops under their control are close to 50,000.
And basically there were no big losses, and when he entered the theater of operations, the chairman of the committee also gave himself a heavy artillery brigade. This is what the chairman expects of himself, and now he has to behave well in whatever he says, so that Admiral Liu Yuan at least knows that he is not a weak person.
Especially as long as you win the battle, when you settle accounts in the future, the mistakes you have made will not be held accountable, and the commander will be easy to talk to.
"The corps command is going to move to the front." Tang Enbo put his heart sideways, reluctant to let the child be unable to trap the hooligans, and if he wanted to make meritorious contributions, he had to move forward.
After Sun Liren's mechanized troops were transferred out of the Hedong battlefield, the offensive of the Chinese army showed no signs of abating.
On the contrary, it was strengthened because of Liu Yuan's decentralization, Tang Enbo himself was on the front line, and his grasp of the front line was naturally much better than Liu Yuan.
The two commanders of the Japanese army, who had gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, finally escaped to Tangshui, and before they could take a break, they were attacked from the front and rear by Wang Zhonglian and his troops.
Zhang Zhen also quickly dispatched to cross Tanghe and launched a fierce attack on Hedong.
The commander of the fleeing Japanese army felt very helpless, and the division commander was now agitating with the Chinese troops in the north of Linyi with the main force of the troops.
There was no way to support themselves, and the Chinese troops, under the command of General Liu Yuan, cut them off and made it impossible for them to get in touch with the main forces.
"Dazuo, our situation is terrible now, what should we do." Matsushita, the brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade, looked at the brigade commander of the mechanized mixed brigade, and the two of them had a feeling that the end of the world was falling at the same time.
"We have a mechanized mixed brigade, but the empire's most powerful mechanized force, but because of the hilly terrain of the eastern region of China, we have given up so much mechanized force and become infantry." The commander of the mechanized mixed brigade said angrily.
He was originally quite strong, but he suffered huge losses many times, and lost a lot of tanks in Linyi for no reason.
When fighting against the mechanized troops of China, he encountered an ambush by fire, which made his strength weaker and weaker, and now he is running around with a group of infantry, and this day is becoming more and more difficult.
"Dasa, the mechanized troops are indeed very powerful, but in the land of China, there are many times when it is difficult to exert his strength, especially in the south, and it is said that the reason why Matsui Ishine failed was because our mechanized troops became infantry most of the time. However, we can't just give up, we should use what we have to fight back with what we have left, and strike at the China.
I propose to launch a counterattack against the troops in China with two armoured car brigades in an effort to break through the defense line in China, and I will lead our remaining wing and the rest of your troops to hold the Tang River, delay the self-proclaimed victory of the Chinese troops, and provide an opportunity for the counterattack of the armored convoy. ”
"There are too many troops surrounding us in China, can only a few thousand people resist the crowd tactics of the Chinans?"
"I don't know what to do." Panasonic shook his head and said.
"What? You don't even know what to do? ”
"Yes, the war is now, it has long passed the time when the empire has won a hundred battles, we may sacrifice our lives for the empire at any time, what we have to think about is not whether we can do it, but whether we can do it, as soldiers of the empire, the time has come to dedicate ourselves to the emperor."
