By the time the surviving troops of the 155th Wing survived, they managed to survive the intensive shelling and napalm that ignited the fire. 『』『Words*love*first*hair http://www.Klxsw.com?

The anti-coalition offensive was already accompanied by another round of artillery fire, which was launched on the front and flanks of the 155th Wing.

The 155th Wing was not only tasked with partially attacking Hengshui, but was also in a position that threatened the flank of the troops on the frontal battlefield in Texas. If you want to cut off the 72nd Division and threaten the flank of the frontal battlefield in Texas, you must first solve this 155th Wing. Therefore, in this counterattack, the 155th Wing was listed as the top priority among the first wave of targets because of its critical position.

In the 155th Wing, Chen Hanzhang not only invested a large amount of artillery and 80 percent of the air support force, but also mobilized all the troops that could be maneuvered. The 155th Wing was given the highest priority and special care, and even adopted the tactics of killing chickens with knives. The 155th Wing needed to face the counterattack of the Anti-United Nations, which was at least twice as many as the 134th Wing on his left flank.

The Japanese army always thought that the distance from the artillery coverage area, 200 meters, was already quite remarkable. However, the Japanese troops of the 155th Wing were frightened to see the anti-coalition troops in front of them, and the line of attack was advancing almost close to the artillery fire. As soon as the covering artillery fire was fired again, it had just extended to the depth of the 155th Wing, and the attacking troops of the Anti-United Nations had already rushed in front of them.

The two brigades of the 155th Wing didn't even have time to react, and all the defense lines were already torn apart. The two infantry battalions were divided into two separate pieces by the anti-United Nations forces that rushed up, led by tanks. In addition to the various squadrons that belonged to them were collectively formed in the artillery fire or were directly cremated on the spot, the rest were also cut off from each other.

All wired communications of the entire 155th Wing have been completely cut off. The wireless communication between the wing headquarters and the two infantry brigades was also intermittent and intermittent. The remnants of the Japanese army could no longer maintain a single front and fell into a situation of fighting on their own.

As for the artillery of the wing, which is the top priority of the anti-United Nations air-ground firepower attack, as well as several artillery squadrons attached to the division and regiment, they have completely shut their mouths as early as the first round of firepower. Most of the artillery, along with the artillery, was cremated by napalm, and the artillery was already unable to provide any fire support for the 155th Wing.

The two infantry battalions of the 155th Wing, which had almost no power to fight back, were beaten in scattered pieces and suffered heavy casualties under the continuous offensive of the counterattacking troops. On his right flank, an infantry brigade that served as the cover for the whole division's frontal attack on the right flank and the 22nd division in connection with the 22nd Division on the first line of Texas had long been drowned in the offensive of the troops interspersed with roundabouts. As early as after the anti-union counterattack was launched on the whole front, it lost contact with the brigade.

Listen to the loud-caliber shells that keep whistling on your head. The captain of the 155th Wing, Nishioka Takaichisa, understood that his brigade, which was facing the onslaught of hundreds of tanks, was probably more than lucky at the moment. His immediate priority is how to gather the troops who are struggling to resist the United Nations and can still get in touch.

But his attempt to shrink his forces could only be in vain under the onslaught of artillery fire and tank clusters of the Anti-United Nations. The Japanese army, which used a single anti-tank method, launched a desperate attack. In front of the tank cluster of the Anti-United Nations, it is like a meat bun beating a dog. The Japanese army, which paid a great price but never achieved its goal, could only stick to their villages and try to resist to the end.

After the failure of the move to shrink the force, this Nishioka Takaichi Saku can't care about being reserved, let alone any bullshit plans. turned on the radio and desperately called to the division commander, Lieutenant General Chiba Kumaji, and asked the 152nd Wing behind him to immediately give him reinforcements. And on his left flank, Suzuki Seiichisa, he had already asked the division headquarters for help.

And these two Dazuo, who desperately called for reinforcements from the division commander, didn't know that their division commander, Lieutenant General Chiba Kumaji, was not in a much better situation than them now, and he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. After receiving the order of the army commander Eitaro Uchiyama to speed up the offensive, the 72nd Division has always been on the offensive.

According to the meaning of Lieutenant General Eitaro Uchiyama, since the 118th Division on the front line of Guantao failed to set up a bait. Then the 72nd Division, which also bears the burden of luring the snake out of the hole, has to make some appearances. No longer protruding a little to the north, with the cunning of the enemy Cheng dù will not be fooled.

At present, since the 118th Division has completed its turn, it is attacking and advancing in the direction of Weixian, Guangzong, and Nangong. A division in the east of Pinghan Road has already taken the first line of Quzhou and is advancing to attack the first line of Jize and Pingxiang. Then the 72nd Division is slightly more prominent, and there is no big problem.

Before the 72nd Division suddenly accelerated its attack, Uchiyama Eitaro gave the 72nd Division an order that Hengshui must be taken within five days. Lieutenant General Eitaro Uchiyama believed that the enemy army would only be dispatched if it took Hengshui. Although Hengshui is too far north and it is a little too risky to attack Hengshui, Hengshui is in the key position of the anti-union rescue.

Although the 22nd Division on the right flank is still in front of Dezhou, the Jingxian and Wuqiao fronts are engaged in fierce battles, and the 118th Division on the left flank has just completed its turn, its line of attack is still south of Qinghe County. However, Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro thinks that this risk is still worth it in a certain way.

Although after receiving the order, Lieutenant General Chiba Kumaji thought that something was somewhat inappropriate. The 72nd Division went north to the front line of Hengshui, and at least waited for the 118th Division to take Weixian and arrive at the front line of Nangong. Or the 22nd Division took Jingxian, and the 72nd Division was more appropriate to go north.

In this way, between the three divisions, the word can be produced. Regardless of which direction the enemy forces carry out a large deep and detour interspersed, they will be flanked by the other two directions. However, after several attempts failed, Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro urged the 118th Division to go north as quickly as possible, and Lieutenant General Chiba Kumaji still strictly carried out the order.

As a result, I didn't expect that on the battlefield of Zaonan, the Anti-United Nations played a beautiful time difference. Seize the opportunity of the 118th Division to complete the turn, and the distance between the two armies has been widened, and move towards the 72nd Division. The 72nd Division, which had formed a lonely army posture in the northwest of Shandong, was suddenly beaten violently, and not only the two wings in front were taken by surprise. Even he, the commander of the division, was beaten and turned around.

The whole division had been on the offensive in accordance with the army's orders before, and this shape suddenly came with a 180-degree reversal, who could complete the offensive and defensive transition at once? In particular, in order to complete the army commander's order to take Hengshui within five days, the two wings in front were almost spread out in a single line, and carried out a leaping attack, and the distance between themselves was also quite large.

After a short half-day of fierce fighting, the entire 72nd Division was broken through in all directions. After a day of fierce fighting, the whole division suffered extremely heavy losses. The 134th Wing on the left flank lost more than half of its strength on the first day, while the 155th Wing on the right flank suffered casualties and lost two-thirds of its strength in one day.

The two wings of the 72nd Division in front were all crippled on the first day of fighting. The remaining remaining forces were also divided into several disconnected pieces, and they could only rely on the villages where they were located, and they were struggling to support each other. And for Lieutenant General Kumaharu Chiba, this is not the most dangerous.

For him, and even the entire 72nd Division, the most dangerous thing at the moment is the two wings, and the interspersed troops led by tanks of the Anti-Japanese Union are like two sharp knives, quickly interspersed towards their own depth. Once the forces of the enemy's two flanks are closed behind them, the 72nd Division will be directly packed into a circle 15 kilometers wide from east to west and no more than 20 kilometers long from north to south.

This is just a large encirclement, which is contained in the entire 72nd Division. On the frontal front, it is practically impossible to form a whole posture of resistance. After the enemy broke through to Jiahui and seized the first line of Xu Xintun. The two infantry wings in front were now each trapped in two small encirclements.

The 152nd Wing, which had been beaten and turned to the back of the wing, faced the anti-United Nations army interspersed on both flanks, in order to ensure the rear road of the whole division, especially to ensure the connection with the 22nd Division on the right flank, it was also in desperate hard fighting, and it was simply unable to reinforce the two wings in front of it.

At present, in order to prevent the Anti-Japanese Union from interspersing the two flanks of the 72nd Division, Lieutenant General Kumaji Chiba even joined the engineer wing, in addition to the two squadrons defending the pontoon bridge on the front line of the Qingliang River. The rest of the troops, together with the main force of the baggage wing, have all been pulled up, cooperating with the 152nd wing to block the penetration of the two wings of the resistance wing.

Now that the whole division is under siege, where can he go to find reinforcements for the two wings in front? In desperation, Lieutenant General Chiba Kumaharu reported the battle situation truthfully, hoping that Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro, the commander of the 12th Army to which he belonged at the moment, could immediately order the surrounding divisions to move closer to his direction according to the original plan.

In particular, the 118th Division, which was currently attacking in the direction of Weixian and Nangong, was moving closer to itself in the shortest possible time, which was what was planned at the beginning. Now the 72nd Division has completed the tasks of the front army and the army commander, and not only has it caught a fish, but also a great white shark. At present, the 72nd Division is in a precarious position, and I hope that Lieutenant General Uchiyama will also fulfill his promise.

At the same time, he knew that it would take some time for reinforcements to arrive. Order the two wings in front not to be passively beaten, but to fight against the enemy in front of them. Especially now that night is approaching, it is necessary to use the cover of night to concentrate all the scattered forces as much as possible.

As long as it is mixed with the anti-coalition in front of them, the enemy's artillery fire and attack aircraft will not be able to wield any power. It is necessary to wave the fine tradition of the 6th Army of the Empire and fight melee and hundred-man battles with the enemy. Use melee and white-knuckle combat to wear down enemy forces and buy time for reinforcements to arrive.

But that being said, will the previous anti-union leave enough time for his two wings to support until reinforcements arrive? In the heart of Lieutenant General Chiba Kumaji, there is no bottom of the point. At the same time, with Chen Hanzhang's personality and character, if he can still leave him with the opportunity to wait for reinforcements at this juncture, it will not be him Chen Hanzhang.

Facing a good start on the first day, Chen Hanzhang was not half excited. The start is good, but it doesn't mean that your follow-up battles can be as smooth as the beginning. After fighting the 72nd Division, the surrounding Japanese troops will definitely be reinforced quickly, which Chen Hanzhang is quite clear.

Therefore, although the opponent in this battle was a division of the Japanese army, Chen Hanzhang knew that this battle must be decided. Once the war drags on, its own attacking troops are easily surrounded by the enemy on the Zaonan battlefield. When the time comes, it will be you who will fall into passivity. No matter how good the start is, it's just the beginning. The real key is still in the follow-up operation.
