War of Resistance

Chapter 449 Tianzhu Mountain?
God has a cloud, if you want to destroy people, you must first make them crazy.

Obviously, the Isotani Division's entire staff, as well as the southbound troops under the command of Isoya Rensuke, have fallen into this very crazy state.

"Seya-kun, what do you think we should do to delay the time completely?" Isotani Rensuke looked at Major General Seya Kei, the leader of the Seya detachment and the head of the No.30 Third Brigade.

After thinking about it for a while, Seya Qi said: "The humble staff thinks that it is still necessary to defend the village outside to slow down the Chinese army's attack on us."

"Is there really no other way?" Isotani Rensuke muttered to himself, and then he sighed again.

"Your Excellency, Commander, at this stage, we can only defend to the death. We have no other options. Please forgive your incompetence!" Seya Qili bowed his head, his face full of shame.

……

The combat order was issued, but Tang Enbo's army did not act immediately and took action.

The Fifth Theater, No.20 Corps Corps Headquarters.

Tang Enbo's army headquarters was set up in a small village near the front line of Yi County. It was noon at this time, and the house that should have been dark was brightly lit.

Tang Enbo, who is a little out of shape and fat, is looking at the military map carefully. He is only 37 years old this year, and he is already the commander of a legion of nearly 7 people. He has one thing in common with everyone who knew it when he was young: he is also a little crazy. Once the No.20 Legion was put into battle, it won a series of victories in military operations, and it was a series of victories. It has to be said that he does have crazy capital.

"Yudong (Guan Linzheng's name), the battle in the Lincheng section of Yixian County has come to an end at this stage, and now it's time to head south. Do you think various transfer methods are more reasonable?" Tang Enbo asked Guan Linzheng beside him with his hands behind his back.

"Now the enemy army is aggressively advancing towards the city in a maneuvering manner. The number of troops is unknown, but for the sake of safety, I suggest that after moderate resistance, our second army can safely withdraw at night time." Guan Linzheng said seriously.

After Tang Enbo thought for a while, he said: "There is still something wrong with Yudong's words. Now the Japanese army is galloping towards Xiangcheng. If there is no accident, it is the reinforcements of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Itagaki Seishiro. Since they can penetrate the LY line of defense, they must have a lot of troops. After Xiangcheng, it is Lanling County. With the strength of Lanling County alone, it is impossible to stop the advance of the Japanese army, and it is impossible to stop it. The advance of the Japanese army. If the Second Army does not retreat quickly, the main force of the Japanese army in Taierzhuang will respond to the Japanese army heading south and rush towards Lanling and Xiangcheng with all its strength. It is very likely that our Second Army will fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army. Therefore, we must retreat quickly. Then fight in the direction of Taierzhuang!"

"League commander, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. If we retreat quickly, that is, during the day, we are very likely to be bombed by Japanese aircraft. Not only is the army in danger of collapse, but the enemy will also be aware of our attack. Combat intentions. I believe that transfer during the day is a plan, absolutely not." Guan Linzheng objected, as Chiang Kai-shek's true protégé and hardcore supporter, he was not afraid of Tang Enbo.

Seeing the expression of resolute opposition on Guan Linzheng's face, Tang Enbo knew that Guan Linzheng was firmly opposed to his opinion, and what Guan Linzheng said was indeed reasonable, so he could only agree with Guan Linzheng's opinion.

"Okay, let's move at night! After passing Lanling County, immediately head towards Taierzhuang!" Tang Enbo said seriously.

"Yes! Sir is wise." Guan Linzheng stood at attention and saluted.

……

In fact, in the general situation, everyone can see very clearly that Lanling County Mayor Chen Dazhi is not ignorant of the location of Lanling County, so he tried every means to keep Zhang Tianhai's troops in Lanling, but there was no way. The order Zhang Tianhai received was personally issued by Li Zongren, the commander of the fifth theater.

In one of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, they forcibly penetrated the LY position and marched towards Taierzhuang along the Xiangcheng and Lanling roads.

Lanling County can also be said to be a county seat very close to Taierzhuang. The quick march would only take one day to arrive. The Japanese army fought so fiercely in the direction of Taierzhuang. How could the elders of Lanling at that time not know?
If Zhang Tianhai's regiment was to defend the city, it would be more than enough, but if it were to fight in the direction of Taierzhuang, it would inevitably be hit head-on by the Japanese troops under the enemy's Jigu Lianjie. I thought of transferring Zhang Tianhai's [-]st Regiment directly under the Third War Zone to temporarily garrison in Xigaohuangmiao, south of Zhangshan Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain in the southwest of Yixian County, to cope with the front-line war, and to send reinforcements to Yixian County at any time.

In the next few days, while Zhang Tianhai let the troops rest and prepare to fight at any time, on the other hand, he continued to send reconnaissance troops to Mount Zhang, Tianzhu Mountain, and Baishan Mountains to conduct reconnaissance and search. It is a key point in the later stage of the battlefield.

And he still has an impression of this battle. For example, when Rensuke Isoya led the remnants of the enemy to Zhangshan or Tianzhu Mountain, he established a position here, trying to wait for the enemy's North China Front Army. Reinforcements come.However, Zhou Que, commander of the No. 70 Fifth Army, who was in charge of leading his troops to attack the first line of Zhangshan and Tianzhushan, suffered heavy casualties due to ineffective combat.

So at this time, he felt that it was necessary to send troops to do a prior reconnaissance and understanding of Mount Zhang and Tianzhu Mountain.

Xigaohuangmiao, the temporary regiment headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third war zone.

Guo Qiliang and Zhou Fangjie stood next to Zhang Tianhai looking at the sand table on the map, and other combat staff officers were also here.

"Tuan Zuo, I think that now that the war is at stake, we really shouldn't send more troops to Mount Zhang, Tianzhu, and Baishan for reconnaissance. Not to mention a waste of manpower and material resources, the key is that it is useless." From Guo Qiliang's point of view, these mountains have no strategic value at all, they are just some famous mountains in Yi County.

"Chief of Staff Guo, I think we should take a long-term view. Taierzhuang has the Second Army of Commander Sun Lianzhong. Even if the Second Army suffered heavy casualties, it is impossible for the Sichuan Army in Teng County to suffer more casualties. Furthermore, Chief Tang Enbo's No.20 Army Corps is also being ordered to be transferred to Taierzhuang. If there is no accident, Tang Enbo's Army Corps should be the core of the Taierzhuang Battle, and there is also Chief Zhou Que's No.70 Fifth Army, and the principal Needless to say, the independent artillery regiment transferred from other theaters will surely win this battle. What we should think about is how to get a share of this closing battle." Zhang Tianhai said seriously.

At this moment, Zhou Fangjie who was next to him said, "Yes, I also agree with what the group said. No matter how elite our group is, no matter how capable we are, it is still just a small group. This battle , At least it must be fought by troops above the division level. No matter how short the commander's department is, it is impossible to transfer our regiment. So we should try our best to fight this closing battle."

"I think so too, as long as we can fight this closing battle well. Our regiment is the same, and we can become famous all over the world. Besides, our army is not well-equipped with weapons and weapons. The only shortcoming is that there are fewer veterans. Forget it, until then, we should give Little Japan a little surprise." When Zhang Tianhai said this, he was gearing up and excited, and it was obvious that he was quite confident in his troops.

How to put it, I don't have enough experience, so the equipment comes together.

In terms of Zhiyituan's current equipment and ammunition reserves, it is really not difficult to fight well in the closing battle-after all, the Japanese army that just broke out is also a group of bereaved dogs, the kind that are in constant fear.

Treat such a group of enemy troops.If Zhang Tianhai didn't even have this bit of confidence, then he might as well stop messing around and give the position of regiment leader to someone else. If it were someone else, he would definitely shine in this position and become bigger and stronger.

Still the same sentence, the guy in his hand will be tough only if he has a hard waist. Without this diamond, he would definitely not take this porcelain job.

At this point, Zhang Tianhai's self-positioning is still very clear.

"Okay, then I have nothing to say, so I have to choose to trust you." Guo Qiliang said helplessly.When it comes to fighting, he is really no match for the two in front of him.
