War of Resistance

Chapter 1223 The Battle with Dates ([-])

"Report to the Commander, according to the report of No. 30 Seventh Division Headquarters, the Japanese troops are marching northward from the east bank of the Xiang River at a very fast speed." A combat staff officer ran to No. 70 Seventh Army Commander Feng Zhi'an and reported. .

I saw that Feng Zhi'an had a simple and honest face, and his pair of asymmetrical small eyes and splayed eyebrows were particularly conspicuous. As a Hebei, he was also very tall, otherwise it would be impossible to stand out from Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army.

After hearing the report from the combat staff officer, Feng Zhian strode over to the military map, and after taking a look at it, Feng Zhian said decisively: "It must be Zaoyang! Damn little Japan, you are so fucking crazy!" Immediately, inform Zhang Zizhong, Commander-in-Chief Zhang, of the movements of the Japanese army, and analyze the possible actions directed at Zaoyang!"

"Yes! Sir!" The combat staff officer responded.

……

About 15 minutes later, Suixian, No.30 Third Army Headquarters.

"Reporting sir, No. 70 Seventh Army reported that the Japanese army is marching northward from the east bank of the Xianghe River at a very fast speed. According to Feng Zhi'an's calculations, the enemy is most likely heading towards Zaoyang. Please make a decision, sir!" The adjutant strode up to Zhang Zizhong and reported, holding a telegram in his hand.

"The possibility of the Japanese army marching northward from the east bank of the Xianghe River to Zaoyang is very great. They marched from Zhongxiang, Yingshan, and Xinyang to our Sui County and Zaoyang area. Their appetite is really big. I want to Annihilate the main force of my fifth war zone at once, but unfortunately they don't have such a good mouth! Our left-wing army is not bad, it depends on the right-wing army and Jiangfang army, I see how they deal with the little devils!" Zhang Zizhong sneered.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zizhong said in a deep voice: "Order, the 30th Division will guard Changshoudian to cover the main force and retreat to the east-west line of Huang Qi'an; No. 30 Seventh Division retreats to the Yaojiahe line; No. [-] Eighth Division and a brigade will station in Liushuigou!"

"Yes! Sir!" The adjutant responded.

For Zhang Zizhong, the fall of Changshoudian was already expected. As early as the Japanese army launched an offensive, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone ordered the formation of the theater troops into the left-wing group army, right-wing group army, and Jiangfang army. The goal is to actively organize troops to carry out defensive operations relying on favorable terrain, consume the offensive power of the Japanese army, and wait for an opportunity to launch a comprehensive counterattack.

The battlefield of Changshoudian is just a small link in the huge battle plan of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth War Zone.It is an established strategy to fight steadily and actively, so Zhang Zizhong did not panic at all.

"Just hit it!" A flash of determination flashed across Zhang Zizhong's face. He has been stigmatized as a traitor for too long. He must clear up his grievances and prove to the world that he, Zhang Zizhong, is a strong Chinese man.

……

Days of exhaustion, and Zhang Tianhai's anxiety to the point of insomnia, he fell asleep after returning to Sanjiang Town.

He didn't wake up until night. After Zhang Tianhai woke up, he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately issued a combat order from Guan Linzheng, the highest commander in the Xinqianghe area.

Under Zhang Tianhai's order after order, the steel giant of the theater security force began to move slowly.

On the other side, the troops of the No.15 Army were already ready for battle.

Under Guan Linzheng's order, the Second Army and the No.70 Ninth Army moved closer together for three kilometers. This distance is already quite good.

……

In the night, countless national army soldiers wearing light yellow military uniforms crossed the Xinqiang River through the pontoon bridge erected.

Perhaps because of the experience gained from the last battle in Yukou Town, the pontoon bridge was erected very quickly this time-although the water level of the river this time was higher than that of the last battle, but this time there was also less cold east wind, which made These water-savvy folks erected the pontoon bridge exceptionally quickly. Similarly, this is indispensable for the guidance of the engineering unit of the theater guard.

Watching the troops passing the pontoon bridge quickly, Zhou Fangjie, who was already very tall and strong, took a deep look into the distance, and said softly: "Yuankou Town, I, Zhou Fangjie, are here again, little devil, this time we will fight Have a blast!"

The teaching corps was defeated by the Japanese army in Nanjing. As an officer from the teaching corps, Zhou Fangjie wanted to fight these little devils this time as the head of the reinforced regiment!
In the night, under the movement of countless national army officers and soldiers, a road had already been forcibly blazed on the north bank of the Xinqiang River. At this moment, the artillery battalion of the first guard regiment began to come in handy.

"Hurry up, speed up! Otherwise, it will be dawn in a while!" A company commander of an artillery company was directing his subordinates to push the Qiwushan cannon.

Zhao Chengge, the commander of the Artillery Battalion in the distance, doesn't look very happy. For him, this is the first time he has been on a mission with a unit other than the First Guard Regiment. Although Zhou Fangjie was also the deputy commander of the First Guard Regiment before, But after all, the battalion commanders below are not the battalion commanders he is familiar with. If something happens, will the second guard regiment really try their best to keep the artillery battalion?This artillery battalion had been trained with all his energy.

So, just like that, overnight, the main force of the Second Guard Regiment and the Artillery Battalion of the First Guard Regiment crossed the Xinqiang River and began to march towards Yuankou Town.

Perhaps in order to surprise the enemy, after crossing the river, Zhou Fangjie did not immediately order the troops to launch an attack on Yunkou Town, but let the troops rest for a day before taking action. For him, it is indeed the first The most important thing, but also reduce your own casualties, especially the rational use of artillery firepower.

Cough cough cough, if artillery is not used at this time, when will it be used?But don't forget, this is a rare generosity of that kid Zhang Yulin, and there is no such shop after passing this village.

Therefore, Zhou Fangjie let the troops rest for a whole day, and then started to act in the evening.

Of course, during the day, Zhou Fangjie had already met Liu Houming and others. Under Liu Houming's report, Zhou Fangjie had roughly figured out the situation of the Japanese army, and then he designed a "big gift" for the Japanese army!
……

Of course, when the headquarters of the second guard regiment was resting during the day, the Japanese troops in Hubei did not stop. The positions of the First and Second Divisions of the First Army launched a fierce attack.

It is worth mentioning that this No. 40 First Army is a Sichuan Army unit. Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the [-]st and [-]nd Divisions, defended Teng County. Except for the transferred wounded, all the remaining troops died in the city.

Although it is said that this unit was almost wiped out in Teng County, Shandong, the National Military Commission did not cancel the designation of this unit, but continued to inherit the designation of this unit by the Chuanzhong soldiers, and then continued to go Fight against the invasion of invaders!

The battle was very fierce. These Japanese troops were not so fierce after being strengthened by the artillery fire from the No.11 Army Headquarters and even the Central China Dispatch Army. Even the planes in the sky were humming all the time and never left. It has already been blown into a sea of ​​dust, and you can't see your fingers...
