War of Resistance

Chapter 672 Lanfeng War (22)

The night was still gloomy, and the Japanese shelling lasted about ten minutes before stopping.

After all, they are now surrounded by encirclement, and they can't keep up with military supplies and other aspects, so they can only "save money".

While the artillery fire was going on, the Japanese tanks were not idle, and a dozen thin-skinned small tanks started to move forward with thick tail smoke.

After the national army reacted, the Japanese army was already in sight.

"Come on! Fight to the end with the little devils!!" Tao Yingchun, commander of the second battalion of the second brigade and fourth regiment of the eighth division, took out the pistol in his waist and swung it forward!
There is only a distance of 30 meters, and there is no time to use this effective distance to resist shooting.

Under the charge led by Battalion Commander Tao Yingchun, the only surviving soldiers of the 100nd Battalion of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]nd Brigade of the Eighth Pre-[-]th Division launched a very violent counter-surprise attack.

Grenades, flying bullets, and the sharp bayonet are all intertwined in the night sky.

The sound of shouting and killing is loud, this battle is the last swan song of all the officers and soldiers of the second battalion of the fourth regiment of the pre-eighth division!
How could such a fierce confrontation last so long?

It took less than half an hour for the war to start, and the main striker of the Japanese Sakai detachment occupied the Shuangtaji.

And after the Japanese army occupied Shuangtaji, Shuangtaji had already turned into a pile of ruins——the blazing fire reflected extraordinarily dazzlingly in the dark night.

The artillery units of the Japanese army, after the shelling was completed, were also preparing to retreat immediately.

……

For Zhang Tianhai and others, the Japanese artillery attack only lasted about ten minutes, and there was not much time left for their troops to gather and enter the Japanese artillery positions.

It's just something that the brothers directly under the first regiment in the third theater never expected. What awaits them is the tail dust of the Japanese army.

For this, Zhang Tianhai did not show much surprise - after all, the Japanese army is now in a state of desperate combat, and a quick battle is the best way to fight.

Looking at the back of the Japanese army rolling away, Cang Tianhai's heart sank slightly - with the strong combat power of the Japanese army, Yang Guji would also fall soon.

When Yang Guji fell, the time for the troops of No.20 Seventh Army and No.80 Eighth Division not to abandon Lanfeng would be near.

For Zhang Tianhai, he knew that the two troops abandoned Lanfeng at the same time, but he couldn't remember when the two troops abandoned Lanfeng.

He only remembered that the No.80 Eighth Division abandoned Lanfeng in the end, so the responsibility for abandoning Lanfeng was firmly held on Long Muhan's head, and the guilt was inevitable.

"Order the troops to continue to keep up, and must bite the Japanese artillery units!" Zhang Tianhai ordered in a deep voice to the officers and soldiers behind him.

"Yes! Group seat!" Lu Shaojie responded, and then ordered to himself.

This time the action can fail, but we must seize the opportunity before the Japanese army's next action, and then launch a fatal blow to the Japanese artillery positions!
Only in this way, the main force of the Japanese army will turn around and attack Zhang Tianhai and their chasing troops.

Only in this way can Lan Feng turn the crisis into safety!
Zhang Tianhai was betting, taking his life and more than 600 people from the Second Battalion of Zhiyi Regiment to gamble for the lives of millions of people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River!
People always die in war, it just depends on whether the sacrifice is worthwhile.

Now Zhang Tianhai can only rely on the wheel marks left by the Japanese artillery to track the direction in which the Japanese artillery positions left.

Zhang Tianhai also believed that it was impossible for these Japanese artillery units to set up artillery positions in a short period of time.

Therefore, in theory, as long as Zhang Tianhai and the others came quickly enough, they could be taken away before the Japanese artillery positions evacuated.

……

The camera turns back to the No.20 Seventh Army.

At this time, Gui Yongqing was leading the troops to Yangguji. At this time, he and Li Shusen, the deputy army commander, were sitting in the car, listening to the sound of guns and guns around them.

"Shuangtaji, it's over." Gui Yongqing with a gloomy face suddenly said this sentence, "If we continue to advance like this, I'm afraid we will collide head-on with the frontal forces of the Japanese army."

"Brother Shuzhen means, should we give up Yang Guji?" Li Shusen, who was sitting next to him, asked.

Gui Yongqing shook his head very resolutely, and said: "No, because we have to rely on the troops of the Eighth Division of the Eighth Division stationed in Yangguji as a cover force to cover the main force of the army to retreat, otherwise, not only the Eighth Division of the Eighth Division will not be able to escape, Even the main force of our No.40 Fifth Division can’t escape.”

"Everything is up to your command! Now our defense has been handed over to Long Muhan's No.80 Eighth Division. If Lan Feng is lost, it will be their No.70 First Army to bear the responsibility. Do whatever you want Go do it at ease, everything has been arranged anyway." Li Shusen said in a deep voice, a haze flashed across that handsome face.

Most officials are scheming, and Li Shusen is no exception. On the surface, he looks easy to talk, but in terms of scheming, he is quite deep.

"Okay, just follow the plan over there!" Gui Yongqing said in a deep voice, "The driver stops!"

After the car came to a complete stop, Gui Yongqing got out of the car and said directly to the team around him: "All troops stop advancing immediately!"

After receiving the order from the army commander Gui Yongqing, the troops in front of them immediately shouted: "Pass the order from the military seat! The troops stop marching immediately!"

"Pass the order of the military seat! The troops stop advancing immediately!!!"

"Pass the order of the military seat! The troops stop advancing immediately!!!"

With the conveyance of this order, all the troops of the No.20 Seventh Army immediately stopped advancing.

"Pass the order of the army commander, and the troops will immediately march towards Kaifeng! There must be no mistakes!" Gui Yongqing ordered in a clear voice.

"The order of the military seat is passed, and the troops are marching towards Kaifeng and Qixian County! There must be no mistakes!!!"

"The order of the military seat is passed, and the troops are marching towards Kaifeng and Qixian County! There must be no mistakes!!!"

With the conveyance of this order, the No.20 Seventh Army quickly changed its direction and retreated towards Kaifeng and Qixian.

……

Naturally, the movements of the No.20 Seventh Army could not be hidden from the eyes of the reconnaissance troops of the No.80 Eighth Division that had just been defended.

Soon, this news reached the ears of Long Muhan, the commander of No.80 Eighth Division.

"Reporting Division, the troops of the No. 20 Seventh Army suddenly turned back and retreated towards Kaifeng and Qixian on the way to Yangguji..." A combat staff officer ran to the front of Long Muhan to report.

"What did you say? Gui Yongqing and the others ran away?!" Long Muhan could hardly believe his ears.

"Yes, division seat. According to reports from the front, not only have they retreated, but they are also moving very fast!" The combat staff officer answered Long Muhan's question almost without thinking.

After hearing this answer, Long Muhan clenched his fists lightly—no wonder he always felt that something was wrong, the feeling was that he was being taken over by Lan Feng as if he had been taken advantage of.

If Lan Feng was really that good, would Gui Yongqing escape with his troops and let his No. 80 Eighth Division guard it?
Something must be wrong!
