Chapter 45: Itagaki is distressed
As for the situation inside the headquarters, Sun Lianzhong, who was mobilizing troops outside, naturally did not know anything about it. Yu Chengwan led his troops to set off from Linyi.
This time, it was Sun Lianzhong who personally led the battle on the front line. His troops were already very tired. It became an extremely laborious task for a soldier to even walk, let alone fight.
The officer kept urging him, but the soldier was not willing to exert much force. On the opposite side of Lijiaping was a squadron of Japanese troops, who attacked for a long time, but they could not take it.
Sun Lianzhong was very anxious, although he was formerly known as the Northwest Army, he was already a member of the Southwest Army when he joined the Southwest Army, and no one could change this.
And what the Southwest Army values most is face and dignity, and he has not been able to take it down, which is a heavy blow to him.
He knew that Liu Yuan must be in Lin Yi holding a telescope to watch him command the battle, although he can stink Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan also gives himself enough face, but if there is a problem with his ability to fight, he will not hesitate to replace himself. In front of the Lord, you can be dominant, but you must be capable.
“mlgb!” Sun Lianzhong was like an angry wild bear, "Lao Tzu was not thin on his brothers in the past, but now Lao Tzu wants to take you to fight devils, brothers, what are you hesitating about." ”
Yu Deshui wanted to stop Sun Lianzhong, but he thought that Sun Lianzhong had already rushed up with a submachine gun, and the guards were tightly guarding Sun Lianzhong.
Sun Lianzhong was at least a regiment commander, and he had a very high status in the eyes of the soldiers, and when he saw him, he took the lead in the charge, and the soldiers all jumped up from behind the cover, howling and rushing forward.
"Rush!"
The sea-like soldiers frantically charged the Japanese position, and the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers behind immediately made up for it.
The mortar gunners, hastily placing the mortar positions, began to drop bombs on the Japanese positions, and the bombs pulled an arc and flew into the Japanese positions.
The Japanese position was blown apart, and while the smoke of gunpowder was used, under the leadership of Sun Lianzhong, countless soldiers rushed into the Japanese position.
The remaining Japanese officers, picking up bayonets, shouted, "Wan Sheng!" "A massive counter-charge was launched against the ranks.
Everyone engaged in an extremely tragic white-knuckle battle on the position, and both sides did not care about the damage at all, and all of them fought in exchange for their lives.
It's too late, it's fast, and the whole position is full of howls and the crash of blades.
The guns of the Southwest Army are equipped with three-edged thorns, as long as they are pierced, it is a blood trough, and the blood will not stop at all.
After more than ten minutes of effort, a squadron of devils was completely annihilated. The positions were littered with the corpses of all kinds of devils. The soldiers hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, gathered the bodies of their brothers, and prepared to transport them back to the southwest.
Sun Lianzhong held his shoulder, Yu Deshui bandaged his wound, and the little devil's bayonet his shoulder, if it weren't for the desperate rescue of the guards, the next generation Sun Lianzhong would have gone to see the martyrs.
Sun Lianzhong kicked the Japanese soldier who fell to the ground with two feet, thinking that sooner or later, he would slaughter all your emperors.
Under Sun Lianzhong's desperate attack, the Japanese army had to retreat, and Matsushita gave up several defensive positions in a row, and the most rearly troops retreated to Daiwang Mountain.
At the same time, he hurriedly asked Itagaki Seishiro for help, describing in his report that the Chinese troops were attacking too brutally and asking him for tactical guidance.
Itagaki Seishiro's head is big, but there is no way to do it, if his subordinates ask him for help before, he will definitely shoot this subordinate.
But not now, many of them are temporarily replenished reserve forces, and they have not used guns for so many years, what combat effectiveness do they have, even if they have superior firepower, they are not necessarily the opponents of the well-trained Southwest Army, you must know that Daochina has always been in a civil war.
Chief of Staff Nishimura also suggested that Itagaki Seishiro support Matsushita, but Itagaki Seishiro refused, believing that if he sent troops to support, he would probably fall for Liu Yuan's tricks.
"Order Panasonic to continue to move closer to Daiwang Mountain, and tell him that the Chinese army is likely to concentrate its forces and launch a large-scale general attack on them, but they must hold Daiwang Mountain, hoping that the vitality of the Chinese army will buy time for the troops to eliminate the Hulian Independent Army." After the last time, Seishiro Itagaki still made up his mind.
Chief of Staff Nishimura still had some hesitation, although he knew what Seishiro Itagaki did for him, but they didn't know how many reinforcements there were in Doshina.
"General, they appeared on the battlefield, but the Twentieth Army of the Zhina, the Tang Enbo Division, who was fighting with us at the south entrance, we don't know how many people they came this time. That's a very effective force. Nishimura reminded Seishiro Itagaki of thisaku.
When Seishiro Itagaki heard this, he felt that his head was much bigger.
These are all blamed on Zhang Xueliang, his weakness and incompetence, as well as He Yingqin's weak style, deceived too many imperial people, and made all the imperial elites once think that Zhi Na was a chicken that the empire could bully at any time.
But when the war started, there were a large number of troops that could fight well, the Central Army, the Lushan Training Army, the Gui Army, the Southwest Army, especially the Southwest Army, which had become the most dangerous existence in the eyes of the empire.
Their commander, General Liu Yuan, was the object that most imperial commanders dreamed of eating.
Itagaki Seishiro even wondered if this Liu Yuan was his nemesis, otherwise when he was about to take Linyi for something, he suddenly appeared on the battlefield and made the erosive battle situation suddenly change.
"General Liu Yuan is such an important figure, his appearance in Linyi proves that he has free up his hands to deal with us, the 20th Army Corps of China is likely to be just the beginning, I suspect that there are still many elite troops in the back of the rescue on the way, we must first sweep away the independent army of Hu Lian, and then sweep away the threat from the north, and temporarily attract the main force of China to Linyi generation, and we will help the army of Isogu Lianjie to take Yanzhou and create conditions for further attack on Xuzhou.
Seishiro Itagaki knows that his strategy is definitely not wrong, but can the Matsushita Brigade really take on such an important responsibility?
Itagaki Seishiro did not rescue the Matsushita Brigade, but still insisted on attacking the Hu Chain Independent Army, and Hu Chain immediately felt unparalleled pressure.
When he knew that it was the mad dog Seishiro Itagaki who was biting him, he immediately shrank his defensive line, and he took his third regiment of armored vehicles as the core, equipped with a large number of motorcycles and tanks, and formed a mobile force to threaten the flank of the 16th Division.
With the strength of one division, he blocked the attack of the 16th Division in the front, while he led his troops to block Itagaki.
Hu Lian was there to carry out a crazy challenge alone, which was going to suffer a lot, and Hu Lian knew that Liu Yuan was also very difficult there, so he didn't say a word.
Liu Yuan was worried that something would happen to this stinky boy, so he sent a telegram to ask, but this little guy was stubborn and didn't reply to Liu Yuan without saying a word.
However, Li Zongren's telegram in the rear reached Liu Yuan, that is, Yanzhou was lost, and Sun Tongxuan of the Third Army retreated to Jining again.
