Chapter 390: Battle of Luoyang

"Good news, Commander! The troops ambushed along the Yellow River broke the enemy's First Army Yoshimoto, killing more than 8,000 Japanese troops along the Yellow River, missing more than 3,000 people, and another 3,000 being captured. Now that the road north of Luoyang has been opened, the enemy's plan to besiege us has come to naught, what should we do next? ”

Hearing the good news brought by Gonda, Wang Lianhao was not much excited, because all this was expected by him.

He stood in the combat command room, looked at the division commanders of the divisions in front of him, and said in a calm tone: "The next time is the time to fight head-on with the enemy's main force, let them know that we will not only fight guerrillas, but also fight large-scale corps!"

The congregation will obey the order! Order, the 18th Division of the peak came out of the west gate of Luoyang, from the line of Li Village, Tang Village, and Lijiagou, and attacked the Qing Palace and the area near the railway in the southeast; ordered the 23rd Division Qiu Yueze to go out of the west gate of Luoyang, pass through the Wunu Mound and Dongjian Ditch, and attack the Shijiagou area in parallel;

Ordered Liu Shaoyong's division of the 46th division and Wei Yinghao's division of the 51st division to go out of the south gate of Luoyang and go to both sides of the Luohe River, ready to snipe the main force of the enemy's front! In addition, Li Xiangbu of the 77th Division protected the artillery brigade, occupied Xiaotun Mountain in the southwest of Luoyang City, and the area from the northwest to the seed investment, and provided artillery support at any time! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone stood up, with blood and excitement in their tones, and returned to their troops for the first time to start deploying troops, the entire Luoyang City was like a huge machine, and like a huge anthill, all the soldiers and ants were ready to go, and the murderous spirit rushed out from the three gates of Luoyang City.

This time, Wang Lianhao wanted to take the initiative to attack and give the Japanese army a blow in the field battle.

However, Wang Lianhao's initiative also surprised several Japanese troops besieging Luoyang, and they successively came into contact with the 18th, 23rd, 46th, and 51st divisions sent by Wang Lianhao, and fierce battles broke out.

The whole army of the Zhanlong Group Army is united, the general is in the front, the soldiers are in the rear, and they are fighting with the determination to die.

And this Japanese army was also well prepared, the elite was exhausted, and the battle with the War Dragon Legion was quite fierce.

On the first day after the first exchange of fire between the two sides, the gunfire continued until 3 a.m., and even then there were sporadic gunfire from all sides.

Finally, the two warring sides seemed to have tacitly stopped the exchange of fire at night, and began to treat the wounded and build fortifications.

According to incomplete statistics, on the first day of the attack between the two sides around Luoyang, the Japanese army was killed by more than 10,000 people, suffered heavy losses, and more than 1,000 people were captured and more than 8,000 people were injured to varying degrees.

The number of casualties on the side of the Dragon Legion also exceeded 3,000, and about 5,000 soldiers were wounded, but fortunately, the army's medical skills on their side were guaranteed, and the medicine was sufficient, and the mortality rate of the wounded soldiers was more than ten percentage points lower than that of the Japanese army.

In the rear wounded barracks, Li Zhaodi took her all-female medical team, and Ma Daochang rotated all night, without a second of rest, one operation after another, even they themselves didn't know how many soldiers they had treated, and almost subconsciously repeated some actions.

When the people around them reminded them that it was time to rest, they found that the sky outside the wounded barracks had already brightened, and the battle for a new day had resumed.

"Is this a large-scale legion battle? Such a casualty rate, such an exchange of firepower, is simply a human meat grinder...... There are no real winners in the war, and there will be a terrible price to pay for victory or not. ”

Li Zhaodi sat on the ground in prostration, Ma Daochang walked to her side, took out a pill from his arms, and stuffed it into her mouth, and said in a calm voice: "We can't fall before the soldiers, you are their spiritual pillar, as long as this war is won, the enemy's main force in the central and western regions will face the danger of being flanked, which will force them to retreat to the east."

At that time, Wang Linhao, Wu Xiaolong, and Hu Rentian will be able to unite the three forces and completely drive the invaders out of our motherland, and only in this way can this war be completely ended, and we will no longer have to face so many stumps and broken arms......"

Li Zhaodi's face suddenly turned a little rosy after eating the pill made by Ma Daochang, but she was still a little prostrated and couldn't even support her body.

"I know, I know that war is bound to be accompanied by sacrifices, but seeing those soldiers who talked and laughed with us yesterday close their eyes forever today, still makes me hate war from the bottom of my heart, and even more disgusted with those who started it! The war criminal who fired the first shot must be the source of the evil against humanity and society, and if I could, I would really like to sneak into his side and cut this culprit with a thousand cuts! ”

Ma Daochang also sat on the ground by Li Zhaodi, and sighed lightly: "Although your education is higher than mine, and your professional knowledge is definitely stronger than mine, but Lao Dao, I think I have read more books than you, our Chinese civilization has been up and down for thousands of years, whether it is prosperous or declining, but there has never been a dynasty that has not fought a war."

Human nature is like this, people's hearts are like this, they will never be satisfied, they want to do something after a long time of peace, but in the end only the common people will suffer...... What do you say to use history as a mirror, fart! History is always strikingly similar, what can future generations learn from the history books? The only thing they have learned is to repeat the mistakes of the past, that is, to heal the scars and forget the pain, and we can't stop them, which is the most desperate and helpless part......"

Li Zhaodi lowered her head and pursed her lips, and only after a while did she speak: "We can only choose to believe, believe that Zhou Yu, that guy, he is different from everyone else, his ideas are so advanced, and his action is so powerful."

I remember that when I was leaving New York, he talked to me once, and he said that the best way to stop war is to stop it with war, and that only when we are strong enough will others listen to us and fear us.

Although his statement is somewhat overbearing, it is not unreasonable, for example, in this war, if there is no strong insertion of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, our motherland, the land of China, does not know how much more suffering it will suffer, and I don't know what it will be like to be plagued by little devils? Since we can't change the status quo, we can only do our part. ”

Ma Daochang looked at this girl who had left traces of time in the corners of his eyes with some surprise, and chuckled: "Hehehe~ Originally, Lao Dao wanted to relieve you, but I didn't expect to be explained by you, I was relieved to hear you say that, I'll pour you some water, tonight is likely to be more lively than last night, and I'm ready to meet our new round of battles." ”

"Hmm."

Li Zhaodi patted her cheek, beating her spirit, and the confusion in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a piece of perseverance.

Around Luoyang, the artillery fire behind the positions of the two sides fiercely bombarded each other, and the Japanese launched three suicidal charges, but they were all used by the War Dragon Corps to use the mountains, reinforced concrete fortifications, and criss-crossing communication trenches, skirmish trenches, minelaying areas, and barbed wire fences to fight back.

Not only that, but due to the unusually developed and advanced communication network, the various divisions and headquarters of the War Dragon Legion can communicate with each other without hindrance, and they can always be caught off guard by the fact that the two divisions and regiments are united in the interval of their own battles, and they can also suddenly turn into pieces, make surprise attacks around the rear, and destroy the Japanese army's baggage troops and ammunition depots one after another, making the enemy dizzy, and feeling as if there are several more divisions of the enemy around.

Towards the afternoon of the second day, Zhou Zhen led his Flying Dragon team to support from the air and encountered the Japanese Second Flying Regiment in the sky, starting an air encounter that was not too small.

As a result, the Wyvern team destroyed six enemy aircraft with zero casualties, a complete victory, and posed a great threat to the ground forces.

However, the individual ability and commander of this group of Japanese troops were excellent, and even though they suffered several large losses in a row, there was still no sign of defeat.

Not only that, but they also launched a surprise attack under the cover of artillery, and the most recent one, those enemies with white bandages on their heads and long knives in their hands literally rushed to the front of the trenches of the Dragon Legion, causing a small area of chaos.

But soon, on the side of the War Dragon Legion, the broadsword team composed of the most ferocious bandits and bandits came in handy.

One by one, they were like wolves and tigers, carrying big swords, and strangled with the enemy's Banzai Charging Death Squad, and staged a hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons that seemed to return to ancient times on the modern battlefield full of aircraft and artillery.

In the end, the broadsword team composed of bandits and bandits wiped out the Japanese army, a long-live charging death squad, and no one survived.

And they also became famous in this battle, and were very active in several major battles in the future, and even set up a special corps by Zhou Yu and awarded each of them a Dragon Walking Medal of Valor.

At the same time as a large-scale corps operation was unfolding around Luoyang, the commander of the North China side, Okamura Ninji, and the chief of staff Osei Gozo, based on various considerations, believed that the 12th Army's pursuit operations to the upper reaches of the Yi River and the Luo River were nearing the end, so they immediately decided that Uchiyama Eitaro would lead the 12th Army and command the 63rd Division to attack Luoyang to the southwest.

Eitaro Uchiyama, who received this order, immediately sent operational staff officers Orida Masanami Osa, and Goji Toshio Nakasa, to the 63 rd Division to make contact with the regiment and understand the situation, and sent the 4th Cavalry Brigade and the 26th Cavalry Company to quickly rush to the front line of Lijialou in Zhonggang in Nie Wan, south of Luoyang City, to inspect the combat situation of the enemy and us at close range, and to collect intelligence for a new round of offensive.

The time came to June 1st, Buddha dawn.

After the two newly transferred flying groups of the Japanese army began to bomb and cover the city and its surroundings, its 67th Brigade went around to the north of Luoyang City to launch an attack, but was ambushed by the War Dragon Army again, resulting in the death of Nakasa Yuma Minxiong of the 137th Brigade of the Independent Infantry Regiment on the spot.

The frustrated Japanese drove their few tanks north of Luoyang, covering the infantry to storm the north gate of Luoyang.

But of course Wang Linhao would not let them get their way, and the Flying Dragon fighter team led by Zhou Zhen arrived as scheduled, and after the two flying squadrons of the Japanese army were scattered, they used accurate dive bomb throwing technology to blow up several thin-skinned tanks of the Japanese army into a pile of scrap metal.

Not only that, but the Japanese Fukunaga Nagayoshi Nakasa and Saga Sairo Shaosa were all scattered in this bombing, resulting in the death and wounding of the Japanese officers who bypassed the north.

At the same time, Wang Lianhao seized the opportunity to personally lead the defenders to rush out of the north gate of Luoyang, launched a fierce attack on the uncommanded Japanese army, and finally annihilated more than 2,000 enemies, captured more than 3,000 people, and completely solved the threat of the north gate of Luoyang once and for all.
