Chapter 66: Counterattack (4)
The Yellow Emperor had twenty-four sons, and fourteen were given surnames. His tenth son was sealed in Teng. This is also the origin of the small town of Teng County.
From the beginning of the defense of Tengxian County to the present, the fighting has not stopped in this ancient small town.
Scholars are accustomed to calling the defense of Tengxian County the frontier of the Taierzhuang victory, but when the Taierzhuang victory is no longer possible, the battle still cannot stop.
The command of the battle is more brutal than before, but it will definitely not stop.
For Teng County, the Japanese have a special hatred, and the incompetent Liu Zhi in their eyes quietly retreated after slapping them hard.
Then the hill that was helplessly stationed here was even more nightmares, and this summer was destined to make the Japanese have no good life.
In the fierce battle last night, the commander of the army personally led the team, and the Shangang detachment was miserable. Saito eventually sent a squadron to support the troops outside the city.
However, the loss of a strategic position soon led to Saito's continuous retreat, and the Chinese troops quickly occupied Saito's position.
For the counterattack of the Japanese, Dai Zhiqi had been prepared for a long time. I think back then, when he was young, he was caught off guard by a counterattack by Su Yu, but now although the march is violent, it is more careful.
When the counterattacking troops appeared outside the city, they received a fierce counterattack from the Chinese troops.
In particular, the Japanese army still had a ragtag army composed of various components, and its combat effectiveness was obviously inferior to that of the previous Japanese army, and it fought until dawn, and it did not break through the Chinese defense line.
And Sasaki finally collapsed under the attack of the Chinese troops.
The Chinese troops on the flanks penetrated Sasaki's defense like a sharp sword, dividing and encircling Sasaki's troops in a small area.
The hill has not received any good news until now, and although Sasaki outside the city is surrounded, at least they still have more than a thousand warriors who can resist for a while.
However, the troops in the west of the city collapsed, the entire brigade of Japanese soldiers was completely annihilated by China, the captain Yamasawa Field was killed, and only a few troops fled into Xiguan, but the Chinese troops immediately launched an attack on Xiguan.
Dai Zhiqi was quite satisfied with the development of the war, and he was very satisfied with the troops that had grown up under his hard training.
In just two days, he basically destroyed the main force of the Shangang detachment, so that they did not escape into the city, knowing that the road was guarded by a city wall, and one soldier could be used as five to ten soldiers.
The next attack on Teng County will not be so difficult.
"Dai Zhiqi, I didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of your 42nd Army is not much worse than your senior's troops." After seeing the military report, the big stone in Zuo Quan's heart finally fell to the ground.
Against a fully staffed detachment of the Japanese army, that is equivalent to a brigade, if the defense is okay, but the offense is not the strength of the Chinese troops.
"Senior, aren't you laughing at me? I am a graduate of Whampoa, I have practiced at Southwest Military University, I have learned a lot in training and command, and I am not bad at equipment, so naturally I will not let the little devil bargain. Dai Zhiqi is not a low-key person, and he always speaks with a sense of confidence.
This is also the reason why when Dai Zhiqi was surrounded by Su Yu and Chen Yi in later generations, Zhang Lingfu and Hu Lian did not try their best to rescue him, and he committed suicide and martyrdom in the end.
"You guy, you're too arrogant, this temper has to be changed, you are now a member of the Central Army, and you have to learn to be a man in the Central Army. Moreover, you have to learn from your senior Du Yuming or Song Xilian, they are the generals who can really fight. Zuo Quan said to Dai Zhiqi.
Song Xilian and Du Yuming successively defeated the enemy on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, so that the Japanese, who had always been arrogant, had to openly admit that the Southwest Army was the most elite unit in China. An army can resist a division of the Japanese army.
Dai Zhiqi was a little unconvinced by the Japanese army's statement, and in his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the 42nd Army should be stronger than that of Du Yuming's soldiers.
You must know that the 42nd Army of Ludao was trained by himself after spending countless hours of time, and he did not think that Song Xilian and Du Yuming were much stronger than him in terms of tactical command. There was a general on fire on the southern battlefield, but his name was Liao Lei, not Du Yuming.
Today's record made him very satisfied, who would dare to say that he Dai Zhiqi couldn't fight, but he didn't dare to tell Senior Zuo Quan about these, you must know that the level of Lu Dao, the chief of staff, is definitely not comparable to himself.
Seeing the little guy's contemplative appearance, Zuo Quan was a little happy, it was a good thing to be able to listen to the teachings, but it was a pity that such a good child had to follow Chiang Kai-shek.
With a sigh, Zuo Quan said, "Speed up the attack, strive to realize the plan of the headquarters, and take Teng County." ”
Zuo Quan stood up, he didn't expect this little junior brother to be so strong in combat, he couldn't help but worry about the 35th Group Army, and he didn't know how their battle on the northern front was going.
Dai Zhiqi seemed to see Zuo Quan's worries, walked to Zuo Quan's side, handed Zuo Quan a cigarette, and said, "Senior, you are worried, General He Long's strength is not something that ordinary people can compare, and this battle will be won." ”
Dai Zhiqi's judgment is not wrong, as soon as He Long came out of the mountain at this time, it was like a dragon going out to sea, stirring the whole world.
Several armies were like rolling torrents, killing the hinterland of the Japanese army with steel and blood.
Zhang Lingfu led the 10th Division to cross the river first and attack the area where the Japanese army was insufficient. The netted Japanese forces simply could not concentrate too much on the defense. Because the defensive strength of the Japanese army was mainly concentrated in Jining.
The Ten Divisions are all the way up, and the momentum is like a bamboo. Quickly annihilated a small force of Japanese troops, and then occupied Henan Village and Tangying Village, and the vanguard had even reached Qiudi at noon.
Li Gayu is not tall, but he is still very good at fighting, and when he crossed the river, he encountered very little obstacles from the Japanese army.
The small force of Japanese troops was no match for them at all, and he easily took the destination, and then advanced in depth and approached Xinzhuang.
Compared with others, Song Xilian crossed the river after a hard battle, after all, his subordinates are not his own troops, and some of them are not very familiar.
The Huotouwan Bridge was an area of concern for Yamamoto, which he had always wanted to take, but was defended by Chinese troops.
And this time, when the Chinese troops wanted to break through, they were also blocked by a large group of Japanese troops, and there was also a brigade of reinforcements.
Song Xilian commanded the troops to crush the Japanese troops in front of him, and then launched a powerful attack on Xiaodian. At noon, he forcibly took down the shop.
Wang Mingzhang faced the 25th Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the 25th Brigade, Naozo River, had a lot of thought about defending the canal.
He was well aware of his situation, they had few troops, and if they wanted to defend on all fronts, they would inevitably make the same mistakes as the southern battlefield.
Therefore, he did not work hard at all in the river defense, but concentrated his troops in the Zhangmiao generation, which was close to Jining, to form a situation of escort divisions, and at the same time, he could also concentrate his efforts to counterattack the attack of the Chinese troops, so as to avoid being surrounded by the Chinese troops because the troops were too scattered.
However, it was difficult for Shimoto Kuma and Oga Naozo to predict that the attack of the troops commanded by General He Long was so violent.
As soon as Ryosuke Isoya left, the Japanese army's strength was already in a situation of insufficiency, and the Japanese troops on the northern front looked at it a lot, and they were known as two brigades to the outside world.
But in fact, it is no longer full, and the Yamamoto Brigade already has two brigades to defend Yanzhou and ensure that the train capacity can be continued.
Coupled with the losses of the early attack on the Huolongwan Bridge, there were not as many troops in his hands as he imagined.
Wang Mingzhang's smooth crossing of the river made him sleepless and had some contempt for the strength of the Japanese army, but the next attack made him realize his mistake.
