Rumbling artillery rang out, and hundreds of shells were swept by the fireballs, smashing into the Japanese positions not far away. After a day of silence, the artillery units of the defenders finally began to exert their might.

"Boom!" As the first explosion reached Antengliji's ears, the old devil changed in horror - could it be that the people of China were about to launch a counterattack? It's impossible, the imperial army is now hoarding 70,000 troops along the Taierzhuang line. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately issued an order for the Japanese troops at the east and north gates to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the defenders from counterattacking, and at the same time let the artillery find the location of the enemy's artillery positions and suppress fire. Then he decided to personally lead the reserve forces to support the Northwest Gate.

The battle on the front line of Taierzhuang was in full swing, and in a village three kilometers southeast of Taierzhuang, the officers and men of the Xueyi Brigade led by Guo Muyi were ready for battle.

The Xueyi Brigade marched here at half past two in the morning, followed by tank units, ambushing three kilometers behind the Xueyi Brigade. The security work of Antengliji is very well done, and a large number of patrol teams are sent behind him. Ge Zengfu personally organized manpower to kill, and before the large army, he had already killed four Japanese patrol squads.

In the direction of Taierzhuang, the battle at the West Gate never stopped, and the flares and explosions that rose from time to time guided the direction of the raiding troops. Guo Muyi was worried that getting too close would make the Japanese notice, so she stopped two kilometers away from Taierzhuang. "Now, just wait for Li Pinxian to send the attack signal!" Although Guo Muyi was the first to propose the raid plan, he still felt a little nervous at the moment.

The signal flare launched by Li Pinxian was not only the offensive signal of the 31st Army's night raid, but also the signal for the Cadet Army to launch a surprise attack. The flare was raised, and Guo Muyi immediately gave the order to attack.

"Yes! Brothers, let's go! Liu Shurong shouted in a low voice and turned on the flashlight in his hand. This was the signal of action agreed upon by his subordinates, and the light of the flashlight suddenly broke the darkness of the ambush, and the officers and soldiers of the three regiments of the 1st Brigade immediately stood up and killed at the northwest gate of Taierzhuang under the shouting of their respective commanders.

At the same time, Guo Muyi also gave an attack order to the tank troops behind him through the walkie-talkie.

"He's NND, it's finally time to fight! Get the machine up and go full speed! Wu Kezhi shouted loudly into the walkie-talkie in the command car, shook his head, and shook off the drowsiness and exhaustion.

During the Second Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, He Zhengchuan, the commander of the Third Division, became famous because he commanded the tank unit in the First World War, and he was promoted from the commander of the Infantry Brigade Tank Regiment to the commander of the Third Division. During the Battle of Nanjing, only the Third Division of the First Army participated in the battle, and in the Pukou Tank Battle, Qian Guangming, who was then the commander of the Tank Brigade of the Third Division, also became famous in the first battle, and now he was transferred to the Army Headquarters as the division commander of the Tank Division. The brilliant results created by the predecessors because of the command of the tank unit have always inspired Wu Kezhi, making him highly excited, and he always wants to break into the enemy formation at once and complete the battle in one battle.

Seventy-six Jiguang tanks of various types buzzed, and the smell of diesel fuel filled the air, Wu Kezhi took a deep breath, opened the end cover, and directly drilled out of the tank for command.

As soon as the tank's headlights were on, the darkness was dispelled, and a road that was not very wide appeared in front of the drivers. The tank group was like a group of monsters, roaring towards Taierzhuang.

The rumbling of artillery rang out, and the hissing of the motors several kilometers away was drowned out. Liu Shurong followed the pre-war arrangement, leaving a battalion of elite soldiers to take tanks to provide direct protection for the tank troops, and the others were divided into two columns and quickly ran towards the most shining place in Taierzhuang.

The Battle of Taierzhuang in this time and space is different from the time and space where Ouyang Yun is located, that time and space, because the Japanese base camp has the meaning of "not expanding", the Japanese army attacking Taierzhuang is completely "subject to foreign military orders" - whether it is the Trigger Detachment or the Segu Detachment, Trigger Benshun and Segu Qi attacked Taierzhuang privately without getting the instructions of the base camp and the front army, and as a result, they were surrounded and killed by Li Zongren because of the situation, which annihilated more than 10,000 devils and had a great victory in Taierzhuang. However, even though it was a great victory, the Chinese army lost more than 30,000 people, which is equivalent to changing three of its own family for one devil, in fact, it suffered a big loss.

At this time and space, although the Japanese base camp also held the purpose of "non-expansion", the four Japanese troops attacking Taierzhuang were under the command of the North China Front Army and were unified and coordinated. At that time and space, there were only more than 40,000 Japanese troops participating in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and in this time and space, the number of Japanese troops reached more than 70,000.

The night attack organized by Li Pinxian, because of the participation of artillery, whether he fought really or fakely, the momentum created was really amazing, and it suddenly broke the equilibrium situation currently maintained on the Taierzhuang battlefield.

The first to be affected was the Anteng Division, which bore the brunt of the attack, and Antengligi's attention was completely attracted by the frontal battlefield, and the attention and protection of the flanks and rear flanks were naturally insufficient. The Seya detachment had been in an offensive posture against the West Gate before, but at this time it was also alarmed by the sudden change in the Northwest Gate, and it was not known what the situation was there, so out of prudence, it shrank the defensive line, changed from an offensive posture to a defensive position, and at the same time began to contact Antengriji to know the exact situation there. The Isoya Division had been looking for fighters west of Taierzhuang - with the combat strength of the Isoya Division, it was completely possible to force the canal to be crossed, but Isoya Ryosuke did not carry out this operation for a long time, hoping that the 5th Division and the Seya Detachment could force Li Zongren to invest more troops in Taierzhuang, so that after the forced crossing of the canal, they could directly kill Tongshan in Pingchuan and complete the feat of encircling the enemy in Taierzhuang. Ryosuke Isoya was woken up by his subordinates and learned the latest battle report of Taierzhuang, he frowned and muttered, "What do the people want to do?" Cut off the connection between the 5th Division and the Seya detachment, and concentrate on attacking one? Li Zongren isn't so stupid, right? The defense lines of the 5th Division and the Seya Detachment were completely connected, and the people of China cut straight into it, what was the difference between sending them to death? No, there's weirdness in it. ”

"Your Excellency, what do we do now?" Chief of Staff Umemura asked humbly.

"If you don't move, General An Teng still has 20,000 people in his hands, hmph, even if Li Zongren really dares to make this dangerous move, it is impossible to defeat An Teng's division in a short period of time, and our department will act according to the original strategy."

"Hello!"

The Isoya Division ran along the Grand Canal for a day, during which it also tentatively attacked several times, and the soldiers were all tired, except for the wheel defense troops, the others fell asleep early. They were suddenly awakened by the sound of gunfire, and out of instinct, they hurriedly dressed and prepared for battle. The devils of the Isoya Division were so nervous because they were too close to the battlefield, and the close battle made them unable to make correct judgments, so they could only prepare for battle first, so that they could enter the battlefield at any time. However, in the end, they did not wait for the battle order, but continued to rest.

Ryosuke Isoya made a mistake here, if he decisively commanded the troops to enter the Taierzhuang battlefield at this time, then Guo Muyi's surprise operation would inevitably fall short.

A week later, when the news of Taierzhuang's victory reached the headquarters of the Guangzhou Cadet Army, and Ouyang Yun and others were reviewing on the sand table, the first reaction of all the people involved in the review was to shout luck.

Ouyang Yun pointed to the small blue flag representing the Isogu Division at that time and said: "The Japanese army did not lose a loss, Changqiao, where the Isogu Division is located, is only five kilometers away from Taierzhuang, and if you march in a hurry, you can reach the battlefield in an hour." It's strange, Ryosuke Isoya stayed here peacefully until half past four, and this hour and a half was a great gift from Ryosuke Isoya to Guo Muyi. If the Isogu Division had supported Taierzhuang from the beginning, what would it have been? ”

At half past four, it was the most chaotic time on the battlefield in Taierzhuang. At four o'clock, Huang Haifu, commander of the Mountain Division, made a decision and decisively commanded the Eagle Cliff Brigade, which acted as a reserve, to launch a river-crossing attack from the direction of Hanjiasi. Half an hour later, the Eagle Cliff Brigade successfully crossed the river and immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops outside the east gate. The devils of this department were already very difficult to cope with the counterattack of the 31st Army at the East Gate, and they were caught off guard by the Eagle Cliff Brigade, and the defense line was broken through on the spot. This is the key to the Battle of Taierzhuang. After the devil was defeated, the Japanese army at the north gate was encircled. Li Pinxian and Huang Haifu made a wise decision at this time, and after the devils who surrounded the north gate, they did not launch a strong attack to encircle and annihilate them, but quickly supported the raiding troops, and concentrated superior forces to completely crush the main force of the 5th Division at the northwest gate......

"If Ryosuke Isoya supports Taierzhuang at the beginning, then the Seya detachment can completely ignore Ximen's 2nd Brigade and turn to attack the 31st Army in front of the northwest gate with all its might. In that case, the first to be defeated will be the defenders of the northwest gate of the 31st Army, and then, Guo Muyi's troops will become a lone army and can only choose to withdraw from the battlefield. However, I estimate that Antengliji will definitely not let him go easily, in this battle, we will suffer heavy losses, and the journey of the Xuebing Army on the battlefield in Xuzhou will end early," Li Tieshu followed closely, and then he glanced at everyone and sighed: "Guo Muyi, this guy, is not only bold, but also surprisingly lucky!" ”

Guo Muyi's luck was indeed good, and the raiding troops were the first to capture a mountain artillery brigade and two heavy artillery squadrons of the 5th Division. When Ge Zengfu told Guo Muyi the information that his subordinates had accidentally discovered the Japanese artillery position, the latter did not believe it at first. He asked again and again, "Is it true?" In what direction, how many devils are defending ?! What type of cannon is it? ”

There's a reason why Guo Muyi is so excited. The laser tank is invincible compared to the Japanese army's Quirrell and Bean battles. If the Japanese army did not have heavy artillery, the defenders could have taken the tank troops as the lead and carried out counterattack operations against the Japanese army. No matter how high the quality of the individual soldiers of the Japanese army is and how strong the morale is, in the face of the laser tank, which is a big killer, the Japanese army has only one end, and quickly evacuates the Taierzhuang battlefield.

The reason why the sneak attack on Linyi was able to achieve an overwhelming victory was of course related to the fact that the detachment had no weapons to suppress the laser tank, so it was in a situation of being passively beaten from beginning to end.

One of the reasons why Guo Muyi asked the tank troops to break through to the enemy group as quickly as possible when formulating the raid tactics was that he was worried about the heavy artillery of the Japanese army. And once they break through into the enemy group and entrap the devil infantry, the Japanese artillery will not dare to shell wantonly, so that the chances of the tank troops surviving will be greatly improved, and they will be able to exert their due power, and the surprise troops will be able to play a miraculous effect.

Ge Zengfu understood why he was so excited, the troops left by Antengliji to protect the artillery position were only one squadron, and the raiding troops could completely annihilate this part of the devils, and then take the artillery over to deal with the Japanese army. He said: "The devil artillery position is two kilometers to the left, and the devils of a squadron are defending, as if there is heavy artillery!" ”

"Great, God help me!" Guo Muyi said excitedly, and then immediately called Zuo An'an over and said to him: "Safety, you quickly assemble the three regiments." Battalion Commander Ge and the others found the devil's artillery position, and the devil who defended it was only a squadron. You take it as fast as you can, and then aim directly at the devil and blast him enough to raise his mother. Hurry up, go quickly, in five minutes, our shelling will stop. ”

The defenders of the west side of the canal carried out artillery bombardments with only one purpose, to drown out the roar of the advancing tanks with the rumbling sound of artillery. And in order to avoid the accidental bombing of the raiding troops, the duration of the shelling was agreed to be twenty minutes. At this time it was already a quarter past four, and in five minutes, the shelling would stop, and that was the time for the raiding troops to attack.

On the battlefield two kilometers away, the sound of shouts and guns rang out, and a cloud of fireworks from time to time set off one or two bodies, and human beings, who regarded themselves as masters of the earth, were as worthless as ants in the face of war - Yoshio Sato stood behind a 150 mm howitzer, looking at the miserable scene on the battlefield not far away, squinting his eyes, and the expression on his face was extremely hideous.

Sato longs for war, and he feels that only war can embody the meaning of men as the dominant people in this world. Sato also thirsts for killing, and every time he captures a place, he will ignore military discipline and condone his subordinates to loot, kill and plunder. Sato's mantra is: the Shina people are an inferior people, and with their intelligence, they will not understand the true meaning of being alive. Sato was strict in governing the army, so he took it as an example, and more than 300 soldiers under his command protected the artillery position, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest because he was in the rear. Sato didn't know what to say, his head had been caught in a crosshair of the Weiqing sniper step.

Zuo An'an personally led the three regiments to carry out this operation, taking advantage of the huge sound on the battlefield not far away, he led the three regiments to approach the Sato squadron unconsciously, and then when the artillery sound of the main battlefield stopped, he immediately launched an attack.

"Kill!" Left safe was only more than fifty meters away from Sato, and when he shouted, Sato immediately turned his head, and then, as soon as his lips opened, he was hit by a sniper who was ready to attack, and his head burst open like a ripe watermelon after autumn.

A flare rose into the sky, "Hit! "Da Da Da!" "Boom!" …… Under the leadership of Zuo An'an, the officers and men of the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Regiment jumped up and bravely killed the devils who were close at hand.

The sound of gunfire suddenly rang out, and the Japanese troops who were waiting for them fell in large numbers. Only then did the devil officer react, shouting "enemy attack" and directing the troops to launch a counterattack.

The Japanese reacted too late. Yoshio Sato's rigorous way of managing the army made his subordinates go to hell faster - the standing devils could not hide under the illumination of flares, and they were like fresh targets.

The Japanese artillery was conscientiously preparing for the shelling at this time, and the sudden attack made many gunners pull the lead in panic, and a few cannon sounds came, and the artillery of the little devil became a mess.

"Kill them! Try not to use grenades! ”

"Understood, our broadsword hasn't drunk blood for a long time."

The task of the third regiment was to capture the enemy's artillery, and the devil's shells were all over the position, and Zuo An'an was worried that the misuse of grenades would cause the shells to explode, so he hurriedly adjusted his combat methods.

The devils didn't dare to throw grenades, so the soldiers on both sides rushed together and started a bloody white-knuckle battle.

The Cadet Army had an absolute superiority in troops, and it was calculated with or without intention, coupled with the fact that Yoshio Sato was killed at the beginning, the Japanese army was leaderless, and the command was out of control, and the battle showed a one-sided situation from the beginning.

Except for the officers who are equipped with pistols, the ordinary artillery is empty-handed. This is the sorrow of artillery, at a distance they are the kings of foot combat, but once they are closer, they become the object of slaughter. In just fifteen minutes, the Sato squadron was completely wiped out, and the devil artillery saw that the situation was not right, and fled in the direction of the northwest gate.

"Brigade, do you want to chase it?" Xu Yizhen, the commander of the Third Regiment, arranged for a battalion of soldiers to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, replenish the guns for the wounded and sick of those devils, and ask for instructions on the left safety.

"Poor don't chase. It's too close to the main force of the devils, so hurry up and set up defenses. And what about the mortars of your regiment? Let them quickly adjust their positioning. This time, I'm going to give the little devil a taste of being bombarded by his own cannon. ”

Almost at the same time as the third regiment launched an attack on the devil's artillery position, Guo Muyi gave an order, and Wu Kezhi's tank unit carrying a battalion of elite soldiers rushed towards the Japanese position at the northwest gate, and the infantry troops immediately followed on both sides.

Guo Muyi's order to Wu Kezhi was: "Rush in, bombard with artillery, sweep with machine guns, and make a way." ”

In the first trench dug by the Japanese army in front of the northwest gate, Zhenhai, who had been clinging to the trench, suddenly took his pocket watch out of his arms, and then roared: "Brothers, rush with me!" Then he took the lead in jumping out of the trench and rushing towards the Japanese position. The brigade took the lead in the fight, and the soldiers of the national army who participated in the night attack were all enthusiastic and rushed out of the trenches with shouts.

"Puff, puff......" In the direction of the west gate, a mortar company transferred by Li Pinxian began to fire grenades frequently, and the battlefield, which had just been silent for less than a few seconds because the defenders had stopped shelling, once again resounded with a deafening shout of killing.
