Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 960 Thousands of miles away! (Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month!)

Because the remaining remnants of Teng County withdrew under the cover of the 59th Army!

The Japanese army did not repair in Fuji County, which caused the Taierzhuang War to start nearly a week earlier than before in time and space!
But this does not mean that the degree of tragedy will be less than in the previous time and space. Even, because the tens of thousands of troops on the two wings of Taierzhuang are "sweeping the snow before the door", there is no intention of sending troops to Taierzhuang in the central battlefield for support.

In the later stages of the battle, the two Japanese infantry brigades even put troops on the flanks to ensure safety and invested in the attack on Taierzhuang.

Tang Dao couldn't witness it with his own eyes, but he could get a glimpse of it through the battle reports sent by the division headquarters to the fifth theater through the two army commanders Wu and Zhang!

"On the morning of March 3, more than 18 Japanese soldiers, with the cooperation of planes, artillery and tanks, began a massive attack on our army positions.

The 186st Battalion of the 1th Regiment, which stood at the north gate of our Taierzhuang position, resisted tenaciously under the command of Commander Wang Zheng and Jiang Battalion, and fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese army outside the north gate of the city, repelling many Japanese attacks.Because the 1st Battalion was recruits, almost all of them died in the North Gate position in this battle, and Battalion Commander Jiang was martyred. "

On the night of March 3, 18 Japanese soldiers broke through the Xiaobei Gate and hid in Taishan Temple near the Xiaobei Gate. Head Wang Zheng personally led soldiers to besiege the enemies of Taishan Temple and wiped them out.

On the 19th, the Japanese army repeatedly attacked our position and entered the village many times.Our department fought tenaciously and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army. "

"On the 20th, the Japanese army bombarded the city wall of Taierzhuang with heavy artillery. The north wall was blown down, and the Xiaobei Gate was also destroyed. The officers and soldiers of the 181rd Battalion of the 3st Regiment guarding the Xiaobei Gate were killed, and more than 300 Japanese troops broke into the city!"

"On the 21st, the Japanese army invaded the northwest corner of Taierzhuang, seeking the west gate, and wanted to cut off the connection between our division headquarters and other ministries in the village. Our division commander personally commanded, suppressed the Japanese army with artillery fire, and organized a death squad of 60 people with the division headquarters guard battalion to fight the enemy hand-to-hand. Finally regain the position!"

"On the 22nd, the Seya Detachment of the Japanese Army provided further support and occupied the eastern half of our position! Defending the position from the 186nd Battalion of the 2th Regiment killed 500 people!"

"On the 23rd, the Japanese army completely occupied all the outer positions of our division. Our division was stationed in the three outer regiments, all of which suffered more than 70.00% casualties. One regiment was surrounded by Japanese invaders and cut off contact with our division headquarters. Only two battalions of soldiers remained in the core positions!"

In just 4 days, an infantry division with 5000 infantry regiments and [-] battalions directly under it had a rough count of more than [-] casualties. It is conceivable how fierce the battle was.

At this time, the teacher was exhausted!
However, the Japanese army still did not completely occupy the entire Taierzhuang position, and at least one-third of the position was still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army.

Perhaps, they only need two more days to completely occupy this position they dream of, and to completely kill the opponent who caused them major damage.

Unfortunately, Tang Dao knew that they had no chance.

Not only are they at the end of their battle, but also because the 59th Army and the 63rd Army have already moved.

Perhaps it was not just these two infantry armies, the general surnamed Tang did not seek success in battle, but he had a good eye for credit.

An infantry army under his command actually obeyed the order of the fifth theater and set off from its original station a hundred miles away.

All three infantry corps set off on the evening of the 3rd. When the Japanese reconnaissance plane found an innumerable number of Chinese troops swarming from three sides of the attacking Japanese army at 23 o'clock in the morning, the three infantry corps' forward regiments were no longer far away from Taierzhuang. 10 km.

20 miles, for the light infantry advancing at full speed, it is only a matter of 2 hours.

The pilots of the Japanese reconnaissance plane did not know how scared they were, but half an hour later, the two Japanese troops on the two wings of Taierzhuang immediately withdrew from the completely occupied Zhuangai positions, and the scene of a large number of luggage fleeing to the north before being dragged away had already demonstrated their Inner panic.

In just one night, the Japanese army, who had been in the victorious position and even dreamed of going to Xuzhou, had to work hard to survive. This really made the indoor shroud who was still waiting for the good news of victory in Pingcheng really want to shout "eight Ga!"

However, the lives of tens of thousands of imperial infantrymen did not wait for him to start chopping tables and benches with knives. He quickly called the staff of the combat department and asked where the nearest army to the Japanese army was, and whether he could send troops there for reinforcements.

But it is a pity that the Japanese army closest to the department is also 60 miles away. What's more terrible is that the Japanese army is facing a Chinese army that is three times their size. Insurance is a problem.

The indoor shroud that was stunned by the bad news seemed to have forgotten that the Japanese side invested more than 20 troops in the entire Xuzhou battle, while the Chinese side, which lacked firepower, invested nearly 60 troops to compete with it.

"It's over!" The commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front Army at that time uttered such a wail as he slumped in his chair on such a warm spring morning!
It is not only for the two Japanese infantry brigades who started to run wildly, but also for themselves.

He knew that more than 4000 people were lost in the Battle of Jindong, and he might still be able to throw all the responsibility on that idiot Xia Xiong Yuan, but if two infantry brigades were lost in this battle, no one can take the blame, only him The commander of the front army will carry it!
"The Chinese planned this in advance!" Lieutenant General Fumisan Kawagishi, the chief of staff of the Front Army with the same blank eyes, suddenly realized.

Shroud in the room waved his hand, and didn't want to talk nonsense with his subordinate. At this moment, couldn't he see that this was something the Chinese had planned for a long time? Isn't he more pig than pig?

Could it be that the [-] to [-] Chinese people fell from the sky?That is what the Chinese people have been waiting for for a long time!
Pig: I really tied Q!
The general commander and lieutenant general chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front Army knew that the two infantry brigades with more than [-] people left were finished.

Yes, don't look at the Japanese because they have reconnaissance planes, at least they gave these two Japanese troops two hours in advance warning.The marching speed of the Japanese army is naturally not slow, at least it will be faster than the Chinese soldiers, but where will the Chinese army give them a chance?
The first to rush over must be the light infantry first, and the 2-hour time difference will soon be made up under the rapid march at any cost.

The light infantry does not need to fight the Japanese army desperately, all they have to do is to delay them and reduce their marching speed, and when the main force arrives, it will be the end of the Japanese.

As for whether the Japanese army wants to abandon all the supplies and heavy artillery and become light infantry, and let a wave of pure light infantry run wild in the wilderness of northern Jiangsu?
Then they really dare not.

Because they can't be sure whether there is another Chinese army hiding on the road ahead. If there is another one, they will lose their artillery and tanks, and they can only let the Chinese army with four or five times their strength surpass them. There is no power.

The two infantry brigades of the Japanese army, who were anxious but worried about gains and losses, did not have the opportunity to occupy the county seat as they did in time and space. When their forward was still ten miles away from the county seat, an infantry regiment of the 59th Army was inserted into the sky above the wall of the county seat. flag.

A county town occupied by an infantry regiment is enough for the Japanese army to attack for half a day!
Obviously, they didn't have the time this time, and the Chinese army closest to them was already ten miles away.

The two major generals of the Japanese army who had completely lost their last hope showed extraordinary courage at this moment. They built fortifications on the spot on a hilly field in an attempt to stand firm and wait for help.

The reason why the Japanese army decided to defend to the death is also very simple, the empire will not abandon tens of thousands of imperial warriors.

Yes, of course, the North China Front Army will not give up this imperial army that has already been beaten to death in the Battle of Taierzhuang, not to mention the two infantry brigades. The Tenth Division belonging to Ren Isotani belonged to the ace unit.

Indoor shrouds cannot use infantry reinforcements on the battlefield, but it is possible to dispatch large-scale bomber formations to conduct air strikes on the pursuing Chinese army.

It's a pity that this battle to lure the enemy was completed under the personal command of the commander of China's Fifth Theater, and the Japanese had long expected this move.

In order to ensure the annihilation of this Japanese army, this man almost emptied all the air defense battalions in Xuzhou City, and almost turned his base camp into defenseless against the air.

A total of six air defense battalions, dozens of 20mm anti-aircraft guns and eight 8mm anti-aircraft guns all entered the Taierzhuang battlefield.

The war has not yet begun, the ground-air war is ahead!

In the explosion of bombs and flowers all over the sky, nearly 6 Japanese planes were shot down in this campaign, but they failed to prevent nearly 6 people from three infantry corps and six infantry divisions from encircling the remnants of more than 7 Japanese troops.

By [-] pm, the last gap in the encirclement was also blocked!
The Chinese army, which was already exhausted from the overnight march, did not give the Japanese army any time to breathe. The six infantry divisions gathered more than 6 artillery pieces and shelled the Japanese army in the encirclement for up to 40 hours.

In normal times, an infantry division of the Japanese army has 60 artillery pieces of various calibers, and its firepower far exceeds that of an infantry army in China.

Even if these two elite infantry brigades came here, they each carried 105 howitzers, 75 mountain cannons, and 75 field cannons, with a total of more than 30 artillery pieces, which is not something an infantry army can compete with.

But this time, there are 3 infantry armies, and the 6 infantry divisions under their command have artillery of different sizes, from 82mm mortars to 75mm mountain guns, and even some Italian guns. Let’s not talk about their power, the key It's a lot of food.

At least in terms of heavy firepower, this time the Chinese army is worthy of this wave of Japanese remnants.

After two hours of frenzied bombardment, after the war, according to statistics, more than 3000 shells were fired, with an average of more than 80 shells fired by each gun.

Among them, the 63rd Army and the 59th Army are the most important. They have carefully prepared for this battle for more than a month. The two lieutenant generals guarded the military supply department in the theater for a whole day, just to drag dozens of shells back.

No matter how hard they fought in the past few battles, they were reluctant to let go of their hands and feet and fired, and they were waiting for this day.

In this first artillery battle, the two infantry armies consumed 70.00% of the number of shells they carried.

And although the infantry army under the command of the 20th Army didn't fire so many shells, it couldn't stand that he was the principal's direct line, and the equipped artillery was good!

There are a total of 12 guns, all of which are temporarily new Bofors mountain guns. They not only have a long range but also shoot accurately. They even dared to shoot at the Japanese 105 howitzer.

Take Tang Dao's original words: These dogs are hard-working and hard-working, but they still work hard to beat the dogs in the water!

If the Japanese soldiers who are very good at civil engineering come back for a few more hours, maybe they can rely on trenches and artillery holes to carry this overwhelming wave of shells, but unfortunately, the Chinese opposite them are very clear about their characteristics, and at most they can They were given time to dig trenches half a meter deep.

Without enough fortifications to shield them from the bombardment of 3000 shells, the Japanese finally felt the pain their opponents encountered in Songhu.

There was nothing they could do as one infantry squad after another merged into the position under Chinese artillery fire.

By 6 o'clock at night, a total of 10,000 infantry regiments tried to attack the Japanese invaders. The exhausted Japanese army also broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and launched a counterattack against nearly 4 people who were not weaker than themselves. In two hours A total of [-] rounds of attacks by the Chinese army were repelled.

However, they had no time to cheer their victory, another wave of attacks came up.

Because the Chinese army invested another 6 infantry regiments, and what's more, the designations were different.

The biggest advantage of the Chinese army over the Japanese army at this time is not how fierce the heavy firepower is, but that we have a large number of people.

Only the first-line infantry, there are as many as 20 infantry regiments, and if the battalions directly under the divisions and the reserve team are added, there will be a total of 33 infantry regiments.

In this night alone, nearly 6 waves can be traded!
Moreover, the temporary headquarters headed by Army Commander Wu did the same this time. In order to prevent Ye Changmeng from being run away by this wave of Japanese troops, they decided to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time.

Throughout the night, a total of 24 infantry regiments were dispatched to attack the Japanese positions in turn, and the fighting continued throughout the night.

In the early morning, many Japanese soldiers whose eyes were red from the boil cried excitedly.

Because they thought they would never see the morning sun again, but in the end, they still had a chance to see it.

Then, the gunfire sounded again!

The battle comes again.

The iron barrel formations of the three infantry armies, but the attack points are roughly only four corner points in the southeast, northwest, and the 63rd Army and the 20th Army's infantry armies are responsible for one of them, and the 59th Army is responsible for two of them, and three of them focus on attacking. One is mainly to feint and contain.

When placed in the infantry division, the battle system is used. After one infantry regiment has fought for 2 hours, it immediately retreats to the trench that has been dug to rest, and another infantry regiment goes up again. In this way, the average infantry regiment You can rest for about 24 hours in 6 hours.

The Chinese army has a large number of people, so it can be done like this, but the Japanese can't stand it!

For two whole nights and one day, the Japanese army forcibly withstood the attack of the Chinese army, which had stronger troops and firepower than them, fully demonstrating the combat effectiveness of the Japanese elite divisions.

Even Commander Wu, who had fought fiercely with the Japanese Tenth Army in Songjiang, secretly smacked his tongue at the fighting power of this wave of Japanese troops.

You know, this group of Japanese troops has been fighting fiercely in Taierzhuang for 6 days and nights, whether it is mental or physical exhaustion or ammunition consumption, they have reached the extreme.

As a result, in the face of such a fierce battle, it was hard for another 36 hours.

If the Japanese troops he encountered in Songjiang were so fierce and tough, his 63rd Army might not only fail to complete the task of blocking the enemy, but might even die in Songjiang City.

That's because Commander Wu looked down on the Japanese army too much, and underestimated himself too much.

The potential of human beings is actually great, it just depends on how you force it!
If the 63rd Army that guarded Songjiang that day was ordered to defend for 3 days instead of 30 days like Hengyang in the future, the Tenth Army might not be able to take it even if it is not well organized.

And why this wave of Japanese troops is so tenacious and tough, I am afraid that it has burst out [-]% of its potential under the fear of death.

It's just that potential is not endless, and there is always a moment when it runs out.

At that time, all the struggles ahead were just the flashbacks before death.

In the 36-hour round of battle, the three Chinese infantry armies suffered more than [-] casualties!There are hundreds of pieces in the carriage for hauling the corpses alone.

No one on the Japanese side did the calculations. The encirclement circle built by 70,000 people, not to mention people, even flies could not fly through.

Even if they can still breathe at this moment, the Chinese soldiers who also killed them with bloodshot eyes have already regarded them as dead people.

Because, even after 36 hours, an infantry division sent by the Japanese army from the north was still hundreds of miles away.

Moreover, another infantry corps of the 20th Army has been ordered to stop the enemy. There is no need to fight to the death, just delay its marching speed.

The last struggle of the indoor shroud has become Song Jiang's military advisor --- Wu Yong!

"Victory!" This is the telegram sent by Commander Wu to Tang Dao at noon on the 26th.

Thousands of miles away, Tang Dao, who had been pacing back and forth at the regiment headquarters, clenched his fists, feeling relieved!
Finally, success!
Farther away, the indoor shroud was slumped on the seat, with a gray face.

Another old man in his [-]s with three gold stars on his collar is smiling in his office.

That was the brightest smile he had in the past ten days.

Taierzhuang, which was stained with blood, made sacrifices, but also glory!
