War of Resistance

Chapter 658 Lanfeng War ([-])

"idiot!!!"

Following an angry curse and the sound of a teacup being broken, Colonel Yuanshan Deng received a loud slap on the face, and a slap mark already appeared on his face, which was very obvious.

"Hay!!" After being slapped, Yuan Shandeng didn't dare to say anything else, and could only respond nonchalantly——no matter what, it's good to be able to save his life.

Colonel Toyama Toyama was not as powerful as Takashi Sakai, on the contrary, he was a little thinner, he looked like a civil servant rather than a military officer.

The headquarters of the regiment lost their forward positions one after another, and several villages have already fallen into the hands of the national army.

Due to the close hand-to-hand combat, the Japanese artillery units had no room to play.

This is what made Major General Takashi Sakai the most angry. These humble Chinese actually played such a despicable night battle with them!

However, this is war, a war that requires any means to win!
The No. 20 Eighth Brigade has won a series of military victories since crossing the river. It is the first time that it has encountered such a predicament.

Kekeke, as for the battle at Yangzhuang, in Takashi Sakai's view, it was just a small setback. If it weren't for the sacrifice of the first brigade, it was absolutely impossible for the main force of the brigade to cross the river so smoothly.

A few days ago, under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, although the troops paid a certain amount of casualties, they had already won staged victories; but the situation is different now. The garrison of scattered troops further compressed it.

And in the process of the national army further reducing the living space of the Japanese army, the casualties of the Japanese army will naturally not be small-one brigade and two squadrons of the wing in the direction of Neihuangji were almost wiped out!

In addition, the Japanese army's fighting in other aspects is also quite unfavorable.

In total, at least nearly one regiment was killed or injured, and if the brigade that was completely wiped out in Yangzhuang was added, more than half of the No. 20 Eighth Brigade was killed and injured. With such a casualty situation, it can be said that the situation is very serious. severe!

The offensive of the national army is still going on, and the casualties of the No.20 Eighth Brigade are still increasing!

Takashi Sakai knew that if the situation continued to deteriorate like this, his troops might really be wiped out.

The point is that those artillery reinforcements are very powerful if they are on long-range offensives, but in the current situation, the artillery cannot help at all. If the tank troops are scattered, they cannot form an assault force , On the contrary, there is a danger of being defeated by each.

In this situation, the No.20 Eighth Brigade is in a very bad situation.

So, how could Takashi Sakai not be under too much pressure?It is also very appropriate to use the word "stressful mountains" to describe it!

"Immediately call the head of the division and inform the head of the division that our brigade has been attacked fiercely by the absolute main force of the enemy! More than half of the troops have been killed and wounded. If we don't provide support, we may be in danger of being 'broken'. Your Excellency, head of the division, please, Be sure to send more reinforcements!" Sakai Takashi said in a deep voice, his fleshy face was full of unwillingness.

"Hay!" A Japanese combat staff officer responded.

……

Under the attack of the absolute main force of the No.70 First Army and the No.70 Fourth Army, the national army presented a happy scene.

Under this situation, Gui Yongqing began to send troops from the No.20 Seventh Army out of the city to defend.

Take one regiment of Dai Minquan's No.40 Fifth Division, plus the second brigade of the Eighth Division (in fact, there is only one regiment) for defense, and then transfer two battalions from the No.40 Fifth Division as a reserve team, responsible for Defend the defense line of Yangguji and Shuangtaji.

In Gui Yongqing's view, this troop lineup is already very strong.

……

At ten o'clock in the morning on May 23, Lanfeng County, No.20 Seventh Army Headquarters.

At this time, Gui Yongqing, who was a little fatter, was wandering around in front of the map in the war room of the military headquarters, with a very tangled expression.

Hanging on the map is a garrison map of the first war zone, and on the table is an offensive and defensive map near Lanfeng County. At this time, many places on the offensive and defensive map of Lanfeng County have been marked to symbolize The national army occupied the small blue flag.

"Do you really want to stick to it?" Gui Yongqing murmured.

"The military seat, I believe that the current situation is unclear, and Lanfeng County is safe for the time being. After all, there are now all the eighth divisions, plus my No. 40 fifth division, a regiment and two battalions. It is responsible for defending Yang Gu. The gathering and the twin towers are gathered, although the enemy's troops are strong, but our army's encirclement offensive has already formed, and it is impossible for the enemy to break out of the encirclement." Dai Minquan, commander of the No. 40 Fifth Division, is full of confidence ground analysis.

"Is that true?" Gui Yongqing murmured, but a haze flashed in his eyes.

Later, Gui Yongqing looked at the defense lines of Yangguji and Shuangtaji on the map, and at the marks of No.70 First Army and No.80 Eighth Division nearest to Lanfeng. A decision has been made!
……

It's impossible for the development of things to go smoothly, including Zhang Tianhai.

Just when Zhang Tianhai thought that his troops could stay on the front line of Quxing and Sanyizhai and wait for Gui Yongqing and Long Muhan's troops to abandon Lanfeng, he might go to defend Lanfeng as quickly as possible.

However, at this moment, an urgent telegram hit the regiment headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater.

This order is an urgent order from the No.70 First Army Headquarters.

"Reporter, No. 70 The urgent telegram from the First Army Headquarters was issued by Chief Song Xilian personally, please have a look!" Xu Xun, the combat staff officer, ran in front of Zhang Tianhai and reported.

After hearing the news, a haze flashed in Zhang Tianhai's heart: he had an ominous premonition that the situation might change at any time!
It's not good to be in a bad mood, but the order is always to be read: after all, the current time is the time when the Lanfeng War is the most intense, and there is a fierce battle everywhere, and the military situation is like a fire!If the big event is delayed due to my own reasons, I am afraid that my head will fall to the ground... and it will still fall in front of Long Muhan!

This kind of situation was something Zhang Tianhai absolutely did not want to see.

Therefore, Zhang Tianhai took over the telegram translation paper, and saw that it read: "The third war zone is directly under the headquarters of the first regiment. The No. 80 Seventh Division suffered heavy casualties in the front-line battle. Your department must rush to Neihuang set the front line to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward in the direction of Renhe, and launch a counterattack. At this stage, the battle is raging, and the military chief of the first regiment directly under the third theater must take action immediately. Issued by Song Xilian, Commander of the No.70 First Army of the National Revolutionary Army, on May 27, 23th year of the Republic of China, at [-]:[-]am!"

Military Law Engagement, these four big characters are a threat to Hongguoguo, and Zhang Tianhai also knows what the consequences are, probably because Song Xilian was afraid that he would argue with him at a critical moment, so he added it on purpose.

But it's not that Zhang Tianhai doesn't know the consequences of wrangling - if he really loses the battle, this order will become Zhang Yulin's reminder to him!

He can see this point more clearly than anyone else!
