Chapter 122: Gathering and Annihilation under the City (3)

"Order the 13th Division and the Shigedo Detachment to assist the Yamada Detachment, which will be led and commanded by the division commander of the 13th Division, Tateto Ogisu." Matsui Ishine had realized that the hesitation of waiting for the Ogishu troops was no longer possible, so he ordered reinforcements to be sent, and at the same time dispatched the Fifth Division of the Wuhu generation to suspend the attack and prepare to assist the Yamada detachment on the battlefield. This is already the limit of the force he thinks can be used, after all, Matsui Ishone doesn't want the tide of the battle to change like this.

After Ogisu Tatsu received the telegram from Matsui Ishone, coupled with Saito's telegram, he also realized that the situation had reached an extremely serious point, so the troops had not yet been assembled, so he personally set off with two wings, and the other troops waited to join the Shigeto detachment.

Although the troops of the Southwest Army have not fought with the Japanese army, once the Japanese army moved, the reconnaissance planes of the national army got the news, and Hu Lian learned that the Japanese army had stopped attacking his part and that the Japanese army's Shigeto detachment was also gathered.

"Order Hu Lianbu to hold back the 13th Division and not give the Japanese army a chance to aid the Yamada detachment."

Hu Lian secretly called a good one, this is really a clever calculation, he just guessed here, and the headquarters had already issued an order.

Hu Lianzhi said that in the eyes of the matter, he couldn't hesitate, so he called all the generals who fought under him to the headquarters for a meeting, Huang Wei calmly told everyone what happened, "Now our troops have surrounded and annihilated the Yamada detachment in the middle of the road, our opponent 13th Division is afraid and wants to help, but we can't give them this opportunity, so we must drag the opponent until the Yamada detachment is annihilated." ”

"Army commander, as far as I know, a Yamada detachment of the Japanese army is a brigade formation, as well as an independent cavalry brigade, and the firepower configuration is also very advanced, and our southwest army has a lot of weapons that have not yet been transported to Nanjing, and it will take us many times to annihilate this team?" One of his brigade commanders hesitated for a moment and said.

"Weapons are not the key to determining the outcome of a war, they are the will and strategy. Although the Japanese army is stronger in weapons than ours, but strategically they have fallen into passivity, and retreat will also shake the will, defeat is only a matter of time, I think we need one or two days, why not have confidence? Hu Lian asked with a smile, Hu Lian has always been more tolerant of his subordinates.

"It's only been two days, and I'm still too short of time?" The brigade commander saw the dissatisfaction of his comrades-in-arms with him, and immediately said angrily.

Hu Lian is not to blame, at this time, the soldiers under his command are good, as long as they are not afraid, "The commander once said that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and now the Japanese army is retreating, it is a chance for us to counterattack, I ordered the whole line to counterattack the Japanese army, and only a counterattack can drag the Japanese army." ”

I ordered below, Hu Lian shouted loudly, his idol is Liu Yuan, so in his headquarters, few people can influence his thoughts, so over time, everyone has developed the habit of following his orders, as long as he doesn't ask, others won't say. And Hu Lian is also very powerful, almost no mistake, when he said my order, the officers in the room subconsciously stood up.

"In order to complete the task assigned by the Nanjing camp, I will plan and deploy the counterattack as follows: the terrain of the Niutoushan generation is higher, which is conducive to defense and not conducive to the attack, and a brigade is dispatched from the 135th Division, equipped with an independent artillery battalion, to take the lead in crossing the Yanhe River and build a defensive position in the Niutoushan generation, while our army relies on Niutoushan to build a pontoon bridge and send two divisions of troops to counterattack the Japanese army."

Before dawn, the 135th Division Task Force had already crossed the Yanhe River and set up a position at Niutou Mountain, while Hu Lian personally led two divisions and began to cross the river.

As soon as the task force crossed the river, it encountered the Japanese army, and the Japanese army seemed to have long realized that when they retreated, the national army would counterattack, so they made some preparations, and the sneak attack prepared by Hu Lian earlier turned into a large-scale assault.

Hu Lian knew that the situation was not good, so he did not hide his strength, and the artillery regiment of the army began to carry out fierce shelling, and the Chinese army was also divided into two groups and began to land on the beach.

There was only one brigade of the Japanese army's remaining defensive troops, because the Shigeto detachment and the 13th division were going to support the Yamada detachment, so it was impossible to leave many troops, and they were not very familiar with the position they had just taken, so when the Chinese troops were divided into two groups to attack, they decisively did not have any way to defend, and let Hu Lian easily take out their position.

Matsui Ishine would never have thought that a kind act he had originally taken to rescue the Yamada detachment would allow Hu Lian, a young general with no name in China, to seize the battle.

Under the cover of artillery, the soldiers of the death squad frantically assaulted the Japanese position, and the Japanese temporary defensive position made of sacks did not have any ability to block under the fire of RPGs. The death squads soon stormed the town where the Japanese were stationed.

One of them noticed that the situation was not good and wanted to recapture the gate of the county seat, but the position they had built in sacks just now had been occupied by the machine guns of Shina and began to shoot wildly.

"Smack! Syllable! Two crisp gunshots rang out, and Nakasa's head exploded like a watermelon, leaving nothing left.

Five tanks lined up in a row, covering the infantry as they began to advance along the main road of the town, and all Japanese fire points were bombarded by tank shells.

Elite infantry with submachine guns in their hands followed the chariots closely, and their duty was not to destroy the enemy, but to protect the Japanese death squads.

"Hah!" The shouting Japanese death squads, they didn't even wear military uniforms, and their bodies were full of smoking grenades, and I don't know if they knocked or not, whether they made a sound.

"Da! Da! "Submachine gun bullets were like a storm, strafing the Japanese soldiers to the ground. The officer made a reconnaissance, waved his hand, and the tanks and infantry began to continue the assault.

After a few steps forward, a sneering sound was heard, and a fallen Japanese soldier with several grenades in his hand exploded, and two tanks and a group of soldiers fell to the ground.

"Little devil, my ** mother!" The angry officer didn't expect that because of one of his mistakes, he would affect so many brothers, the submachine gun in his hand kept shooting, and his steps were faster, just as he was advancing angrily, a crisp gunshot rang out, and the officer fell to the ground with regret, a Japanese soldier.

"The party representative was beaten to death by the little devils, but the brothers rushed with me." The angry big head soldier led the brothers of the troops, howled and didn't care about the tank, just rushed forward, the front one fell, and the one behind picked up the submachine gun and continued to rush without the slightest hesitation. In a row, several positions of the Japanese army were taken.

This officer absolutely did not expect that his death would actually raise the morale of the troops, and the troops would frantically break through the Japanese positions under the leadership of their commando team.

And the strategic depth of the Japanese army was opened up in this way.
