Section 138 The Japanese army breaks through

"The front is already the devil's last line of defense outside Guanqiao Town, and if you want to fight in a short period of time, you need not only strong troops and strong strength, but also indomitable courage and determination." After Zhang Lingfu finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the stone, after seeing the strong combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, Zhang Lingfu felt that other infantry regiments did not have the slightest chance, but if the independent regiment of the stone was willing to fight, the opportunity was really not small, the reason why he did not say it clearly was also because the stone at this moment was no longer the stone of the past, and at this moment, this former little brother was already a figure who could be on an equal footing with him, and the reason why the stone and the people of the independent regiment still maintained enough respect for him, not only because of his status as the deputy division commander, the main reason is quite a bit of the past affection. In this case, how could Zhang Lingfu do anything that would damage the feelings between each other.

Shi raised his head and glanced at Zhang Lingfu and said, "Brother Zhang, the 70th Army is attacking to the north of Guanqiao, and the mountainous area in that area is the most critical point in this battle. The significance of our here is not only to oppress the Japanese army and force them to divide their forces, but more importantly, to cut off the retreat of the Japanese army. If we storm Guanqiao, once the attack is unfavorable and the Japanese army kills all the way to Tangpu, the loss of troops is secondary, and the key is that it is very likely that the devils will take this opportunity to escape. In this way, we have to carry all the black pots, presumably such a situation is what the 70th Army and other troops are most willing to see. ”

Zhang Lingfu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, this kid is really thinking far-reaching now, and he even thinks about these things so clearly, since he said so, it is obviously not good for him to say anything more.

I only listened to the stone and continued: "Although Wuqiao has been lost, and the encirclement has been opened a big gap, it is not easy for the 34th Division to withdraw, we only need to entangle the devils in front of us now, and when they start to retreat, launch a fierce attack, plus the 70th Army, the 72nd Army and other troops will attack from the side, which will definitely cause great damage to the Japanese army, so that we can achieve the greatest results without paying much price or taking any risks." ”

After Zhang Lingfu thought about it, he finally nodded and smiled: "Yes, you kid really don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles." However, this method is really good, no wonder your regiment is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more combat achievements. ”

Shi Yan also chuckled when he heard this: "This is also a matter of no choice, the main thing is that our strength is not stronger than that of the devil, if we really have the strength to eat the devil in one go, where will we wait until now?" When I was in Yuntou Mountain, I took the initiative to attack and storm the position of the devil, and when the time came, I was sandwiched from both sides with the 70th Army, and the Japanese army had no depth, as long as one position was broken through, it would be over, where did so many things come from! ”

In order to reduce casualties, they also only sent a part of the soldiers to monitor the enemy situation in front of them, so as not to be killed by the opponent's marksmanship in the process of confrontation. However, the enemy forces in front of them seem to have become accustomed to their passive resistance, and they are constantly changing the way of attacking, which also makes them tired of coping.

In the previous successive attacks, the enemy pretended to attack the position and sent a lot of soldiers to assault, which naturally made them open fire one after another to force the enemy to retreat, but the enemy's attack thundered and rained, and they stopped moving forward after a distance, and as a result, in this short-distance shooting, they lost more than a dozen soldiers in a short period of time, and by the time they reacted, they had already suffered heavy losses. The enemy attack followed in a similar pattern, at the beginning, they were extremely uncomfortable, and each time they were nervous, and as a result, the losses became more and more large, and the infantry commander General Iwanaga, who was commanding the battle at the front, also immediately ordered that the enemy should not fire within 30 paces.

What happened next was that they were close to breaking down, and they obeyed the order, and after receiving the observation of the observers, they still only cowered in the trench, which in their imagination was another trick of the enemy to lure them into shooting, and trying to consume them. However, the enemy immediately launched a fierce attack, but by the time they reacted, it was too late, and the enemy rushed into a range of about thirty paces in an instant, and rushed towards their position at a brisk pace. By the time they realized that this was the enemy's real attack, they had no time to organize a fierce fire suppression, and could only watch the enemy rush into the position.

The rest of the story can already be imagined, these proud Japanese troops encountered a strong enemy they had never encountered again, and were driven out of their positions in hand-to-hand combat, and when they looked at the enemy troops calmly deployed not far away, they were really frightened, but no one dared to propose a counterattack to regain the lost position. And this nervous mood not only did not diminish with the arrival of darkness, but became more and more intense, under such psychological pressure, it is completely conceivable how slow and difficult the passage of time is for them.

Infantry commander Iwanaga also truthfully reported the situation here to the division commander Ogashige, judging from the current situation, the enemy forces in the northwest direction, they really have no ability to resist for a long time. He suggested that the division commander should plan to break through as soon as possible, and now in this situation, it is unrealistic to want to save as many troops as possible, and what can be done at the moment is to escape one by one, no matter what, the 33rd Division is on the front line of Wuqiao, a distance of sixty or seventy miles, as long as the whole division and regiment go through it with all their might, how can they open a bloody road.

After nightfall, the sky finally began to rain after several days of overcast. The March sky, the rain hitting people's faces, is full of cold, and the ice is through the bones. In addition to several days of running and bloody battles, the soldiers of both armies were a little overwhelmed by the rain. And this shower of rain also vividly illustrates the mood of the commander of the 34th Division, Agashige, which is really terrible. In a desperate situation, people can often stimulate the potential in their bodies and exert unimaginable strength. It's like the 34th Division, when it was completely encircled a few days ago, who would have thought that they would be able to ambush the enemy with almost no room to move, and they would succeed? However, the reality is also cruel, they have just seen the hope of breaking through, and all kinds of unfavorable news are also coming one after another, as the news of the urgency on the various positions reaches his ears, Oga Shigeru can only sigh helplessly, a big problem related to the life and death of the officers and men of the whole division is placed in front of him.

Iwanaga is right, the current situation is no longer possible without breaking through, the advance of the 33rd Division and the independent mixed 20th Brigade has been blocked, and it is impossible to expect these two friendly troops to kill at Guanqiao to meet them in the breakthrough. These two troops are still advancing in the direction of Guanqiao, which is already the ultimate they can do, and if they continue to wait here, it is very likely that they will wait for the end of the total annihilation. In today's battle, he can already feel the will of the Chinese army on the frontal battlefield, that is completely unstoppable, this kind of fighting at the expense of casualties, in the current situation, but they are most worried, so many battles have been fought, they really can't afford to consume.

The raindrops hit the people's bodies more and more cold, plus the sky has already darkened, hunger, cold, darkness, several negative emotions wrapped Oga Shigeru, making him feel that the future is dark, in this case, thinking about how many people are left behind, how many people to break through, such a thing, it is really a great blow to people.

Oga Shigeru stood in the rain and stared at the faint mountains in the distance, the rain on his face mixed with mud made him look particularly embarrassed, at this moment, where was he still the original high-spirited Japanese army senior officer who wanted to win the high? There is not much difference between the whole child and the old man who is dying.

Late at night on the 26th, the Japanese army began to break through!

The sudden battle also woke up the officers and men of the 70th Army who were resting in the rain, and what shocked them was that in this dark sky and continuous rain, the devils would actually take the initiative to attack, this extremely abnormal situation also surprised the commander of the national army, but in this situation, they did not dare to act at will, and secondly, the soldiers were too tired, after receiving the news that the flank battlefield was broken through, Tang Boyin, the commander of the 19th Division, also ordered all units to hold their positions, He rushed to reinforcements only with a company of guards.

As a result, they encountered the onslaught of the elite troops of the Japanese army, and it was only a wave of attacks, which caused heavy casualties to the elite beside Tang Boyin. This situation also surprised Tang Boyin, and he immediately realized that the devil was preparing to break through. Because the combat effectiveness of the guard company beside him is far from being comparable to that of ordinary troops, not only are they veterans of a hundred battles, but also the weapons and equipment are the best in the division. Even when facing the Japanese army, it was able not to fall behind, and now that it has lost so many people in one battle, it is obvious that it has also encountered the elite of the Japanese army. And in the current situation, how could the Japanese commander casually throw such troops into battle under other circumstances, except when he broke through? You must know that this is already the last killer and trump card in the Japanese army.

If it was daytime, Tang Boyin would definitely draw all his troops to attack the Japanese army, and during the day, he would dare to fight a strong attack with huge losses, not to mention that the devil took the initiative to kill it? But at night, many soldiers in the army suffered from night blindness, and when it rained, many people fell ill under hunger and cold, where did he dare to move troops at will? The only thing he could do was to report the situation to the military headquarters and ask for reinforcements.

[Go to Changzhou in the afternoon, I don't know what time I will come back tomorrow, if I come back before 8 o'clock in the evening, I will definitely update, there will be no energy after 8 o'clock, and I will make up for it the day after tomorrow! ] 】
