Chapter 98: Enemy in the Woods
Ye Hang took Lan and Night Rose to the front line in half a month, Ye Hang originally wanted Liu Ruyan and the girls to come over together, and everyone met in Xuzhou, but the little devil Shandong fell, and the devil began to wantonly clean up, anti-Japanese forces, Liu Ruyan and their cottage were among them, so Ye Hang did not let them come. Although there are only three of Ye Hang now, it is completely enough, and this time Ye Hang did not think of returning to the **** team to participate in the positional battle. Although the positional battle for Ye Hang can kill a large number of little devils, these little devils give too little experience, and it is impossible for those big officials above the captain of the devil to come forward and kill, and before leaving, the three of them discussed and decided to behead the devil. So now that Ye Hang and others rushed to the vicinity of Xuzhou, Ye Hang did not go directly to the city to report to the headquarters of ****, but found a forest outside the city to rest.
It is now late April, and before that, **** achieved a great victory in Taierzhuang, severely damaged the Japanese Seya detachment and Sakamoto detachment, and the rest of the Japanese remnants retreated to Yicheng and Zaozhuang. The Battle of Taierzhuang achieved an unprecedented victory. Under the personal command of Li Zongren, the main forces of the 5th and 10th elite divisions of the Japanese army were defeated, more than 20,000 Japanese troops were annihilated, a large number of weapons and ammunition were captured, and the arrogance of the Japanese army was severely dampened. In order to expand the results of the battle, the defenders mobilized about 200,000 people from 9 armies and 1 division to the vicinity of Xuzhou, preparing to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army again. However, the Japanese army changed its tactics and pinned down the defenders from the front with a small number of troops, and the main force made a detour to the west and surrounded Xuzhou from the flank. The battle situation in Xuzhou was getting worse and worse, and the shape was becoming more and more unfavorable for the Chinese defenders.
Xuzhou is one of the nine states, since ancient times there are nine dynasties of the emperor Xuzhou said. At the same time, Xuzhou is the barrier of Wuhan, the national military command center, so Xuzhou must not be lost.
However, hundreds of thousands of national troops were assembled in the entire Xuzhou area, but there were less than 50,000 elite troops, and Li Zongren was only nominally the commander of the Fifth Army, but in fact, the Fifth Army was still controlled by Du Yuming.
The reason why Lao Jiang let Li Zongren serve as the commander of the Fifth Theater and command a miscellaneous army of more than 100,000 was Lao Chiang's clever political means. Li Zongren's reputation is extremely high, the most leading figure of the Gui lineage, he is the most vocal person in the entire Guangxi and even South China, and the Gui Army is also the strongest group of troops in addition to the descendant troops, and the strongest group after Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army. Zhang Xueliang is now finished, the Northeast Army has also been absorbed, although the Sichuan army can fight, but the equipment is backward, not a climate, now the old Jiang began to that Li Zhongren began to move the knife, although Li Zhongren's Fifth Army achieved a great victory in Taierzhuang, inspiring the morale of the army, but the old Jiang in order to weaken his reputation, he gave him a defeat. If Li Zongren can defeat the Japanese army, then Lao Chiang can also be said to be his own maneuver. This is the political method of Lao Jiang Gaoming, in order to defeat the opponent at all. This kind of ******** hurts those **** soldiers.
In the Fifth Theater Command, Li Zongren hadn't had a good rest for several days, his eyes were staring at the map intently and worried, and Bai Chongxi, as his old partner, of course knew Li Zongren's worries. Looking at the map, as long as the Japanese army from the north and south meets, then Xuzhou will not be guaranteed. The advantages obtained by Taierzhuang are now becoming necessary little by little.
"Brother Delin, our current situation is quite bad!" Bai Chongxi, who was known as Xiao Zhuge looked at the map and said worriedly.
"Yes, Jiansheng, as long as the Japanese army forms an encirclement trend, Xuzhou will be in danger and Wuhan will be in danger. Lao Jiang gave us a game of dead chess. Li Zhongren looked at Bai Chongxi on the side and said with emotion.
"Yes, we have to go if we know it's dead. Lao Jiang's hand is too good. Now the only thing we can do is call for help. Bai Chongxi said helplessly. His own hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous troops can't deal with the elite troops who can't deal with the little devils.
In desperation, Li Zhongren had no choice but to ask General Cheng Qian, the commander of the First Theater of Operations, for support, and at the same time urgently transferred Tang Enbo's troops to support, Tang Enbo was one of the strongest units in the old Jiang Yan's army, the whole army had German-style equipment, and there was also a German-style armored car battalion, which was a big fat meat that was not found in the whole of China. But although Li Zongren is the commander of the Fifth Theater, every time he commands Tang Enbo to come to help, Tang Enbo will find a reason to push it off, everyone knows that behind this is Lao Jiang's order, but no one dares to say it. So Li Zhongren did not pin his hopes on Tang Enbo.
It was already night, and the three Ye Hang in the woods were raising a bonfire in the forest, and two pheasants were roasting on top of the bonfire. Night Rose and Lan turned the two pheasants from time to time, and after a while, the two roasted brown pheasants sprinkled a faint aroma. Ye Hang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Seeing Ye Hang's gluttony, the two girls couldn't help laughing. The two girls handed the pheasant to Ye Hang, for Ye Hang, who had eaten dry food for many days in a row, the roasted pheasant was simply delicious, although there was no salt and seasoning. Holding a somewhat dry steamed bun in one hand, he picked up a chicken leg in the other hand and ate it in a big gulp. For Ye Hang, who eats like a wolf, the two girls are much more civilized, eating one bite at a time. From time to time, he would also glance at Ye Hang.
Just as Ye Hang was eating, there was a sound of footsteps outside the woods, Ye Hang and the three of them immediately became vigilant, Ye Hang quickly nibbled a few bites of chicken, wrapped the remaining roast chicken and put it in the backpack behind him. I haven't eaten much yet, and it's too wasteful to throw it away. Ye Hang didn't want to eat that hard steamed bun anymore. Take out 95 and take the two girls to hide in the shadows.
The footsteps slowly approached, and finally Ye Hang's bonfire stopped, and the group of people who entered the forest was about thirty people, all wearing **** military uniforms. This group of soldiers of the national army was obviously different from what Ye Hang had seen before, wearing helmets, all submachine guns, and there were two snipers among them, which could be described as the elite of the elite. Ye Hang was very curious and didn't know whose subordinates this unit was. Ye Hang and the two girls were secretly observing this team of ****.
"Iga Jun, there are people here, and they just left. The bones were still a little warm. A **** squatted down and picked up the chicken leg bones thrown by Ye Hang, and said to the person who should be the leader next to him.
"Baga, how many times have I sued you! We are behind enemy lines, and we must speak that way! You take it and search around, and don't leave a living mouth. The leading **** gave the **** who took the bone a slap and then ordered.
"Hey!" The **** gestured after receiving the order, and searched around with seven people.
Ye Hang, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a huge wave in his heart, the little devil would actually come here, seeing that the gestures they played just now were completely strictly trained. What can such a force do here? Ye Hang knew with his feet that there would be no other "decapitation" besides this. I didn't expect the little devil to have such a well-equipped special forces. No, this is just the prototype of special forces. It's pretty scary. infiltrated the city of Xuzhou without ****'s knowledge, if it weren't for you. It is estimated that this little devil doesn't know what earth-shattering things to do? So Ye Hang made a throat-slitting gesture to the secret orchid and night rose. Touch the little devil on patrol.
