War of Resistance

Chapter 936

When the Fujinshan front was at a loss, the main force of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army had already arrived at the mall!
The troops in charge of defending the mall are none other than Tian Zhennan's No. 30 Army.

Speaking of the No.30 Army, we have to mention the Taierzhuang Great Victory—the No.30 First Division of Chifeng City, which was in charge of guarding Taierzhuang at that time, was the unit under the No.30 Army of Tian Zhennan.

The troops of the old Northwest Army, among other things, are quite good at guarding.

The Central Army is good at attacking, and the Northwest Army is good at defending. This is a saying in the national army.

When the fangs of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army stretched out towards the mall, there must have been many battles along the way, with all kinds of bullets and bullets falling all the way.

Lieutenant General Tian Zhennan, the supreme commander of the defenders, is quite clear about this.

The Taierzhuang battle caught the Tenth Division by surprise, but it was only a strengthened brigade after all, but it was different now—this was a whole division of the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army...

An army facing this division has almost the same strength in terms of strength, but there is a huge difference in soft power.

The Northwest Army is not comparable to the Central Army, especially the former German Armors, but if they have the strength of German Armors, then there is no need to worry about it.

"Huiting, Fengcheng, your troops are all in place now. I am afraid that our No.30 Army will have to bear this battle alone. Commander Song's troops are fighting in Fujin Mountain. The flanks, the pressure is also not small..." Tian Zhennan sighed, as a general of the Northwest Army and Sun Lianzhong's confidant, he has a lot of experience.

"Sir, don't worry, our No. 30 Division will definitely defend the Gushi area. As for the defense of the mall, it may have to be handed over to Brother Chi." No. 30 Division Commander Zhang Huiting said, his tone was also very firm.

"Sir, I, Division No. 30, will definitely guard the mall. I will never let the little devil step into the gate of the mall so easily. I swear to live and die with the mall!" Chi Fengcheng promised.

Everyone has no doubts about Chifengcheng's guarantee - but if Chifengcheng has such a retreating idea, when he defends Tai'erzhuang, the No. 30 First Division can't do it so well.

But don't forget, if the No.30 Division [-] sticks to it, it is impossible for anyone from the Seya Detachment of the Japanese Army to turn their backs on their backs.

"Fengcheng, your courage and will to fight are very commendable. But everything must obey the orders of the superiors. Our troops can always be prepared to live and die with the mall, but we must not blindly defend. Everything The combat mission is to defend the eastern barrier." Tian Zhennan said in a deep voice, his tone was very firm.

"Yes! Sir!" Chi Fengcheng responded.

"Let's do this! The No. 30 Division is mainly fighting along the perimeter of the mall. The No. 30 Division is still carrying out its original mission. Before receiving the retreat order, it must not have any thoughts of retreating. Everything is to defend the mall!" Tian Zhennan finally made a decision.

From Tian Zhennan's point of view, the No.30 Army's losses are not small, but if the mall is lost, then the flanks of Fujin Mountain will all be exposed to the Japanese soldiers.

It is inevitable for the Japanese army to take down the mall, provided that the No. 30 army can last long.

Of course, Tian Zhennan hoped that his troops could survive as long as possible. If they couldn't, it would be unimaginable for the entire situation in North China.

It is precisely because of this that when Tian Zhennan ordered the troops to change at any time, he ordered the people below to prepare for coexistence and death.

"Yes! Sir!" Zhang Huiting and Chi Fengcheng stood at attention and saluted, their attitudes were very serious.

"Okay, that's it! Get ready for battle!" Tian Zhennan ordered.

……

There are many times when the idea is beautiful, but the reality is so cruel——

In the battle outside the city, the national army and the Japanese army fought fiercely around villages and towns. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but most of them were mainly wiped out by the national army.

Why are you labeled as such a bear?This must have something to do with the "wealthy power" of the Japanese army at this time. Yoshio Shinozuka has a whole division in his hands this time.

The Japanese army was already much better than the national army in terms of weapons and equipment, not to mention that there were more troops at this time. Coupled with the aggressive artillery, the No. 30 Army's defense was indeed very difficult.

After realizing that his side had suffered a great loss, Zhang Huiting, the commander of the No.30 Division, also came to his senses and took specific measures such as shrinking his troops and attacking the Japanese army's rear supply lines to slow down the advance of the Japanese army.

However, it was too late to deploy such troops, and the front troops of the Japanese army had already pushed under the city of Gushi. Army commander Tian Zhennan urgently ordered the headquarters of the No. 30 division to retreat towards the mall.

Why do you want to do this?It wasn't because Tian Zhennan was afraid that his troops would be eaten up by the Japanese army. If the No. 30 division was eaten up, it would be a big trouble.

"Fengcheng, I will leave this shopping mall to you. You must try your best to hold back the Japanese army. The No. 30 Division troops may have to go to Shawo and Xiaojieling to deploy defenses. This is what Commander-in-Chief Sun has already done. Therefore, the troops of the No.30 Division can only move in which direction, your No.30 Division, but you have to guard this mall." Tian Zhennan patted Chi Fengcheng on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry! Commander, our No.30 Division [-], vows to live and die with the mall!" Chi Fengcheng assured.

"Come on, Fengcheng, I don't need the No. 30 Division [-] troops to live and die with the mall, you have to buy time for the troops on the follow-up front!" Tian Zhennan patted Chi Fengcheng on the shoulder trustingly.

"Is there a time request?" Chi Fengcheng asked.

"Not to mention anything else, two days are always needed. If two days cannot be guaranteed, the Japanese army will soon be pushed to the front line of Shawo and Xiaojieling. Whether you can hold it is up to you." Tian Zhennan said.

"Please rest assured, sir, it will be absolutely fine." Chi Fengcheng assured that it was not the first time he had issued such a military order.

The last time was when Taierzhuang was victorious.

……

National Army, Second Army General Command.

"Boss, the No. 30 Army Headquarters is now independently facing the Japanese Tenth Division Headquarters, and the Gushi troops have begun to withdraw. According to your instructions, Tian Zhennan has ordered the troops to go to Shawo, Xiao Jieling has moved forward. The next step is for the Japanese army to push towards the shopping mall," the staff reported.

"Then which army is responsible for guarding the mall?" Sun Lianzhong asked.

"No. 30 First Division in Chifeng City." The staff reported truthfully.

"The No. 30 First Division in Chifeng City... that battle shouldn't be too much of a problem. Let's see how long they can survive. Power on Song Xilian and let him get ready to send some troops to Shawo and Xiaojie first." Ridge line!" Sun Lianzhong ordered the staff.

"Yes! Boss!" The staff officer responded.

In fact, everyone present knew very well what preparations Sun Lianzhong was making.

Isn't it the preparation after the fall of the mall?The Japanese army is coming so fiercely that it is impossible to be wiped out in a short time!
