Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

Chapter 408
Ambushing the 200th Division behind Taierzhuang, Du Yuming received a report from scouts that a regiment of the Japanese army was making a detour, trying to cut off the retreat of the Taierzhuang defenders.

"map!"

After Du Yuming yelled, the staff in the headquarters immediately sent him a map.

After glancing at the map, Du Yuming chose a place to ambush.

"Give me an order, the tank regiment is ready. Our 200th Division will win the first battle and completely annihilate this group of Japanese troops!"

In the combat conference room, everyone also shouted loudly: "Yes!!"

This battle is the first battle of the 200th Division, and the big guys are all working hard, trying to show that in the army of the Republic of China, not only the Sichuan army can fight!

The 200th Division directly under our Military Commission is also a powerful force!
As night fell, the 11th Regiment of the Japanese Army set up camp under the order of Yuichiro Nagano!
According to the order of the detachment leader, the 11th Regiment was to take control of a small Yulin town outside Taierzhuang, which was an important traffic route.

Occupying here will cut off the supplies of Taierzhuang defenders!
Under the moonlight, Abe Ichiro, the guard guard, was standing behind a bunker. Abe Ichiro was a recruit who had just been added to the Sakamoto detachment.

During the battle for more than a month, he clearly felt that the battlefield in the Far East was not at all like the imperial army's declaration of pushing the Republic of China all the way.

At least in the battle of Langye, the Sakamoto detachment had Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun block it for a month. Now that the imperial army has increased its strength, it can barely continue to fight!

Beside Ichiro Abe was a veteran who had fought for a long time. He patted Ichiro Abe on the shoulder: "New soldier, don't be afraid!"

"Although it is a bit more difficult now, as long as we defeat the defense line of the Republic of China army, we can plunder any women, gold, silver and treasures."

"During the July [-]th Incident, I was fighting in the Beiping area, and a regiment dared to provoke a division under the Liu Zhi Group Army in the First Theater of the Republic of China."

The old devil kept counseling Abe Ichiro to ease his emotions.

At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled.

"Boom, boom!——"

The huge sound was like an earth dragon turning over, which scared Abe Ichiro quite a bit.

The two quickly checked the situation, and the old devil Fujiwara Ichiro took a look, and found that there were a large number of tanks and armored vehicles in front of him and the others.

Abe Ichiro said in astonishment: "Tanks... armored vehicles, could it be that the Chinese army started to attack?!"

As he said that, Abe Ichiro was about to issue an order to attack the enemy, but the old devil Fujiwara Ichiro yelled: "My own people!"

"Don't send random signals! Look, the plaster flags of the imperial army are pasted on the tanks and armored vehicles, and the flags erected by the troops are also the plaster flags of the empire."

After Fujiwara Ichiro's reminder, Abe Ichiro took a closer look and found that it was true, the flag of the imperial army was flying in the ranks of tanks and armored vehicles.

Immediately, the two of them also began to report that the tanks of the imperial army arrived, and the captain of the regiment, Yuichiro Nagano, did not have much doubt after receiving the report from his subordinates.

Because, in his memory, how could the weak army of the Republic of China be able to arm armored troops.

You must know that in the battles in the Pingjin area, the Fifth Division and the Tenth Division have never encountered tanks and armored vehicles of the Republic of China army.

According to TGK's information, during the Battle of Songhu, the tank unit built by the Republic of China army was almost destroyed by the imperial army.

Even, the enemy did not know how to cooperate with tanks. The imperial army in Shanghai also captured many enemy tanks.

Moreover, according to the reports of the front-line soldiers, the tank troops who came this time, the infantry and tanks cooperated very well, which undoubtedly shows that this is the reinforcement of the imperial army.

Nagano Yuichiro estimated that the detachment leader must have sent tank troops for reinforcements because he was afraid that he would not have enough troops.

After all, the outer positions of Taierzhuang had already been captured by the imperial army, and the role of the tank troops was limited, so the detachment leader sent armored troops for reinforcements.

at this time!
In a tank company of the 200th Division, the company commander laughed happily when he saw a group of little devils waving their hands and shouting at the tanks.

"Ha ha……"

"Master, this method is really good. These devils mistakenly think that we are the Japanese army. They are so happy now, and some of you will cry later."

A tank soldier next to Company Commander Zhang said: "Company Commander, this is called the trick of soldiers."

"During the Sino-Japanese War, the little devils sneaked up on our Beiyang navy and disguised themselves as British ships. What we are doing now is nothing more than retaliating against others in the same way!"

Company Commander Zhang patted Xiao Li on the shoulder, "Almost forgot, you are a special recruit from the university, so you know so many things."

"Come on, get ready for me, let's play the role of the armored corps and crush these little devils."

At this time, the devils arranged by Nagano Yuichiro, the captain of the 11th Wing, met the incoming tanks.

Company Commander Zhang led his own tank company, and directly sent a torrent of steel to the little devils, and countless little devils were crushed into meat.

At this time, this group of ghost soldiers realized that the tanks that came were not imperial troops, but enemy troops, and everyone began to shout: "Enemy attack...Enemy attack..."

After Nagano Yuichiro learned about it, he immediately felt a chill from the soles of his feet directly into his chest.

This time when he went to Yulin Town, his regiment did not carry anti-tank weapons at all. Now that the enemy has dispatched so many tanks, waiting for the consequences of the 11th regiment may be annihilation of the entire army.

"The messenger!"

"Immediately send a request for help to the detachment leader, and at the same time, order the whole army to stick to it until dawn."

There is no way, the best way out for the 11th Wing now is to stick to it until dawn and wait for the Imperial Air Force to relieve the siege.

at the same time!

At the headquarters of the 200th Division, the signal corps came to report, "Report, division commander, the frontline troops are progressing very well."

"Now we have taken down the two lines of defense of the Japanese army!"

"It is estimated that at twelve o'clock at night, the battle can be completely resolved."

When Du Yuming heard it, he clapped his hands together and shouted loudly: "Not bad!"

"We went smoothly this time, thanks to Yu Hua's suggestion."

The chief of staff echoed: "Although the Sichuan army is sometimes a bit of a mess, but from the standpoint of the war of resistance, the Sichuan army is still very good."

When he learned that the 200th Division was going to Taierzhuang, Yu Hua also sent a special message to Du Yuming, asking the 200th Division commander to train the step-tan coordination.

Yu Hua also specifically organized the problem of coordination between the Republic of China and the Republic of China in the Songhu Battle, organized it into a book and sent it to Du Yuming.

When Du Yuming received this telegram, he had to admire Yu Hua, who, as an infantry soldier, knew so much about armored soldiers.

According to Yu Hua's method, Du Yuming strengthened the training for the 200th division commander, and the effect of tonight's battle was much better than that of the Songhu battle.

After the 11th Regiment had the 200th Division wiped out, Du Yuming also sent a message to the Jinling Command in Hankou, reporting the results of the battle.

Lao Chang, who was far away in Hankou, yelled happily after learning of the results of the battle, shouting in his mouth that he wanted to reward the 200th division commander.

It was not only the 200th Division that counterattacked tonight. The Seya Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment in Taierzhuang learned that the 11th Regiment had been attacked.

They immediately mobilized troops and began to rescue the 11th Wing. After Sun Lianzhong and Lu Han learned about it, they immediately dispatched troops and began to attack the Japanese army.

In Tengxian, Langye, and Wenshang areas, the Sichuan Army, the Third Army, and the troops of Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun also began to counterattack the Japanese army.

all of a sudden!

In the entire Lu Province area, everything was messed up, and the two sides fought very anxiously.

Terauchi Shouichi, the commander of the Pingjin Front Army, was dumbfounded when he received the telegrams from the various troops the next morning.

In the Xuzhou area, the Chinese army still has such a strong combat effectiveness.

In order to achieve the goal of encircling and annihilating the main force of the Chinese side as soon as possible, Terauchi Shouichi ordered the 14th Division and the 108th Division to quickly move to Lanfeng and take down Lanfeng City.

After a night of fierce fighting, after the commander of the Second Army in Jinan, Prince Higashikurimiya Toshihiko, received the report of the battle damage, he found that the troops were a little short of strength.

Prince Higashikunimiya Toshihiko had just served as the commander of the Second Army, and the former commander Hisao Nishio had been dispatched directly back to his country. Now that the troops are insufficient, this old devil directly agreed to the commander of the Kwantung Army Kenkichi Ueda.

Ueda Kenkichi ordered that two regiments be drawn from the Second Division and the Seventh Division, plus some auxiliary arms, to assist Xuzhou.

When Terauchi Shouyi learned that Prince Tokyuimiya Toshihiko had not communicated with him, he contacted the Kwantung Army and dispatched troops. He was quite angry. Didn't he take himself, the commander of the front army, seriously?

However, thinking that he is a prince, even if he scolded him, he would be the one who suffers, so Shouyi held back.

The Second Army increased its strength and attacked Taierzhuang. Lu Han and Sun Lianzhong felt the pressure all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked Li Delin for help.

He immediately gave Tang Enbo's 20th Army an order to quickly rush to Taierzhuang and eat up two detachments of the Japanese army.

The counterattack of the troops in the Taierzhuang area immediately put the Japanese army in a difficult situation. Tang Enbo's 20th Army and 200th Division, these two troops were like tigers going down the mountain, and they defeated the Sakamoto Detachment and Seya Detachment.

At the same time, the Guangxi air force, like the Falcon, bombed the Sakamoto and Seya detachments, causing the Japanese troops in Taierzhuang to suffer.

The battle lasted for five days. The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army defeated the troops of Zhang Zizhong and Pang Bingxun, and went south to meet the remnants of the Seya Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment. Disabled.

After the Taierzhuang victory, Chang Kaishen was very excited. This was the first victory won by the Central Army in a battle. For this reason, he specially asked the newspapers in the Hankou area to publicize the Taierzhuang victory.

Hankou!When people in the Jinling Command learned that the Japanese troops of the two divisions were approaching Lanfeng quickly, they often gave orders to the generals in the vicinity of Lanfeng to hold their positions and prevent the Japanese troops from going south. scheme.

The Taierzhuang victory, which gave many generals in Hankou a shot of stimulant. Everyone believed that Li Delin commanded the local army to win the Taierzhuang victory. They prepared 10 divisions of the Central Army in the Lanfeng area to encircle and annihilate the 14th division of the Japanese army , it shouldn't be a big problem.

Although the order was issued, the army near Lanfeng was quite bad, and the fighting was quite confused.

The troops participating in the Battle of Lanfeng included Song Xilian's 71st Army, Gui Yongqing's 27th Army, Yu Jishi's 74th Army, Li Hanhun's 64th Army, and Huang Jie's Eighth Army.

In particular, Gui Yongqing's 27th Army was chased and beaten by little devils in the Lanfeng area, and they were powerless to fight back.

In this battle of Lanfeng, the Chinese army was obviously more powerful than the Japanese army, about 15 people, but they failed to wipe out the 14th Division of the Japanese Dohien. !
In addition, the residents in the Lanfeng area, after learning that the Japanese army had crossed the Yellow River, everyone fled one after another, and the local administrators also left with their families. The troops fighting in the Lanfeng area did not look like Taierzhuang at all. area, as well as the Teng County area, after Li Delin took over the Fifth War Zone, he strictly ordered the local administrative agencies not to retreat.

In addition, Sun Zhen of the Sichuan Army, as the leader of Lu Province, dispatched local administrative agencies within Sichuan Province to govern Lu Province, and asked local personnel from various counties to assist the army in combat operations, logistics transportation, and field hospitals. Assist the troops to stop the Japanese army.

However, in the Lanfeng area, after the local administrators fled, the supply of troops and the treatment of wounded soldiers became major problems.

After the great victory in Taierzhuang, the Japanese army on the southern front has now crossed the Huaihe River under the encouragement of Shunliu Hata, and is approaching Su County. Shunliu Hata will be No. 1 in taking Xuzhou.

After Li Delin learned that the Japanese army on the southern front was making such rapid progress, and that the Chinese army in the Lanfeng area had lost the battle, it was time for him to consider the issue of withdrawing troops, because if the fight continued, he would easily fall into the predicament of the Songhu Battle.

For this reason, he specially ordered the troops on the front line to discuss the plan for the retreat of the whole army.

Lincheng, Yu Hua and Sun Zhen went to attend this military meeting!
After the train galloped all the way, everyone also came to the meeting room, where Li Delin spoke first!

"Everyone!"

"This Taierzhuang victory is inseparable from everyone's efforts. However, the Japanese army has assembled more than 30 troops and is encircling Xuzhou. In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes and the defeat of the entire army in the Songhu Battle, we are now discussing the withdrawal of troops."

In the conference room, everyone learned that the 13th Division of Dizhou Libing is now less than half a day away from Su County, and the 14th Division of Tufei Yuan is making a detour to the east of Henan, while Isoya Rensuke's [-]th Division The Tenth Division made a detour to the southwest of Shandong.

The Japanese army going north in northern Jiangsu and the Japanese army going south successfully joined forces in Xin'an Town. Xin'an Town is only [-] kilometers away from Xuzhou. Now the east of the Chinese defenders has been captured by the Japanese army, and the flank is in crisis.

Judging from the map, the Japanese army is implementing a roundabout strategy. If the Chinese troops do not retreat in time, they will be wiped out by the little devils.

Especially now that the Xuzhou area has assembled half of the field troops of the Republic of China army. If the devils succeed, if the new troops have not been trained, once the Chinese troops are encircled and wiped out, Hubei and Hunan provinces will not be able to survive, and the door of Sichuan province will be opened. , this is a very difficult problem.

Liu Fei, who attended the meeting, was anxious when he learned the real situation on the battlefield. If he was not sure, the Republic of China army would be encircled and wiped out, and the situation in the war of resistance would be quite unfavorable.

He stood up and said, "Mr. Li, the situation is critical. I think it's inappropriate to call a meeting of the generals of the group army now. We should call all the division commanders of the frontline troops to come to the meeting to explain the relationship and facilitate the evacuation."
