Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

On the same day, the top leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party issued combat orders to the troops around Changzhi, and the orders issued by the Nationalist government were even more urgent.

In particular, the Thirteenth Army in Huguan received a total of three telegrams from the First War Zone, the Military and Political Department, and the old man's attendant room.

Among them, the telegram from the attendant's room did not start with Niang Xipi, but the old man's reprimanding tone was obvious.

Not only the military headquarters of the Thirteenth Army received the telegram, but also the subordinate 89th Division, 110th Division, and Xinyi Division also received the telegram.

The first commander of the Thirteenth Army was Qian Dajun, who is now the director of the First Attendant Room. Tang Enbo was the commander of the 89th Division at the time. After Qian was transferred, Tang Cai took over the position of commander.

Tang Enbo, who was far away in Xinyang, also received a telegram, but it was sent in Qian Dajun's personal name.

In the telegram, Qian Dajun bluntly stated that the old man was dissatisfied with Tang Enbo. The Thirteenth Army, as a direct line of the Central Army, frequently failed to command. The Thirteenth Army was split up and incorporated into other troops.

After a set of combined punches, Tang Enbo was really honest.

The words are divided into two parts.

There are many factions within the national army, each holding the idea of ​​​​preserving strength, and the same is true within the Japanese army. The differences between the two factions of the North China Dispatch Army and the Kwantung Army are particularly obvious.

After the Japanese troops of the 89th Division forced Sun Dianying to surrender in Lingchuan, they then marched northward to attack Huguan, but they were resisted by the [-]th Division, and two regiments of the [-]th Division approached from the side.

Uncharacteristically, Kawamoto Ichiro adopted Zhang Lanfeng's strategy, retreated decisively to Lingchuan County, and chose to preserve his strength.

In normal times, there are more than 89 troops in hand. Even if the Eighth Route Army threatens the flanks, Kawamoto Ichiro is confident that he will defeat the fighting [-]th Division from the front before the Eighth Route Army arrives.

Now, the 89th Division, which received the order, abandoned the stubborn position and took the initiative to attack Lingchuan County from the west of Huguan. The northeast direction of Lingchuan is approaching Lingchuan.

Not counting the independent regiment in Xing Zhaotang's hands, there are a total of ten regiments directly participating in the battle, and the two divisions of the [-]th Army alone have nearly [-] people.

The two parties involved in the war quickly reached an agreement before the war, and the three-way army attacked Lingchuan in a panic.

At the same time, the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, located on the east side of the Ping-Han Railway, also made big moves.

The Fourth Regiment of the Northern Henan Army Division and the Fourth Independent Regiment approached Jun County and Hua County to restrain the Japanese and puppet troops left behind in Xinxiang, so that they did not dare to think of Lingchuan as reinforcements.

The [-]st Independent Regiment under Zhou Weiguo left Neihuang in the west and arrived in the suburbs of Anyang. It echoed the [-]th Division Supplementary Regiment in the west of Anyang, and jointly contained the Japanese army in Anyang. The [-]nd Independent Regiment of the Zhinan Army Division was transferred to Qingfeng County to defend the Liangpu area. of the Japanese Army.

It can be said that Tan Lin's use of troops is quite bold. At this time, apart from a few units directly under the military region, there are only a few local armed forces remaining in the base area, which is extremely empty.

In a blink of an eye, the Japanese army had already launched a day and night offensive against Changzhi City. Facing the Japanese heavy artillery, the bunkers built by the [-]th Army outside the city were like paper paste, which did not play any role at all. The ditches connecting the bunkers were also razed to the ground by the Japanese.

Seeing this, Fan Hanjie withdrew the soldiers outside the city into the city without waiting for the Japanese infantry to attack.

Imada Yukio was overjoyed that the war went smoothly, but the joy stopped shortly before it lasted too long.

Inside the tent of the Japanese Army Command.

The adjutant reported to today's Yukio the situation ahead: "Your Excellency, the Nakamura brigade reported that the national army dug a huge trench around the city wall of Changzhi, and the frontline attack was blocked!"

"Although the front-line troops are suppressed by artillery fire, the national army has deployed a large number of light machine guns on the fortifications of the city wall. Once the artillery fire stops, the national army machine gunners will rush up the city wall, and the infantry will not be able to cross the trenches outside the city for a short time!"

After hearing this, Imada Yukio was furious, and immediately said: "I have to worry about this kind of thing, go to the nearby and catch some ordinary people from China, and fill up the trench!"

When Fan Hanjie was digging the trench, he was guarding against the little devil. The people around the battlefield were evacuated early in the morning, and the little devil couldn't find a strong man in a short time.

The time came to the 19th. Since the Japanese army fought against the [-]th Army, the battle has lasted for four days.

The offensive and defensive battles of Changzhi were extremely fierce. The [-]th Army defending the city also suffered heavy losses under the double firepower of the Japanese army. The Japanese army also left corpses everywhere outside the city, but they still had spare power.

In contrast, Zhou Weihan seemed to be in a smooth situation. During the period, Fan Hanjie was quite confident at the beginning, but as the eighth divisions serving as the reserve team reached the front line, Fan Hanjie could no longer sit still. He stopped, and sent telegrams to Zhou Weihan for help many times.

Facing the [-]th Army's request for help, Zhou Weihan just called Fan Hanjie back to make him believe in himself.

In Pingshun city.

Xing Zhiguo was holding a telegram in his hand: "Lao Zhou, Han unilaterally called. Not long ago, Imada Yukio called Terauchi Isamu. The telegram said that the Japanese army had consumed more than half of its ammunition, and the shells used by the heavy artillery regiment were running low. They urgently needed to be replenished." !"

"Currently, Si Neiyong is "preparing" for supplies. At that time, the Japanese army in Handan will be responsible for the transportation, and will be handed over to the Kwantung Army stationed in Licheng in Shexian County and Licheng!"

Zhou Weihan slapped his hands after hearing this, and immediately felt relieved: "That's great, it's not easy for the national army to be in Changzhi. The little devil still wants to get ammunition supplies, it's just a dream!"

"Pass my order, the first division quickly gathers troops and the Shexian County Base Group to concentrate superior forces, eliminate this group of Japanese troops in Licheng, and get back the ammunition and supplies!"

At the same time, on the Hanchang Highway, in a certain place in She County, the She County Army Corps had just ended a battle.

In the past two days, with the progress of the siege, the number of casualties of the Japanese siege troops has increased sharply. The Kwantung Army participating in the battle did not have a field hospital. If the wounded want to receive timely treatment, they must go to the field hospital in Handan. In the past two days, There are convoys passing by every day.

The basic regiment left by Zhou Weihan along the Hanchang Highway seized the opportunity. Imada Yukio was also afraid that the wounded would be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, so he sent an additional infantry squadron to transport the wounded in horse-drawn carts.

"Quickly, take off all the clothes, wash them, wash them, they can still be used again, by the way, throw the corpses farther away, don't let the little devils who come next time find out!" Shen Fang, the team leader, pointed at the cleaning shouted the battlefield warrior.

Although the Tainan Military Region was rich, it was their turn to clean up the battlefield. The soldiers had their own way. It didn't take long for the little devils to become pigs, and even the blood on the battlefield was buried.

"Regimental Commander, there is an urgent telegram from the military region, telling our regiment to get in touch with the first division immediately. I am afraid that there is a big move!" Political commissar Dai Zhiying found Ding Sheng with a telegram.

"Okay, it's boring to make small fights, it's finally our turn to play!"
