Beacon starts from the departure of a strong man

It is now impossible for the 106th Division to achieve total annihilation.

Because Ou Zhen's Fourth Army failed to block the gap, the evacuated Japanese troops had already marched towards De'an.

At the same time, De'an's Japanese army also began to send troops to respond.

In response, Xue Yue said: "Sir Chen, although we failed to completely wipe out the 106th Division this time."

"However, we severely damaged the 106th Division, and the devil left a lot of supplies behind."

"Most of the Japanese soldiers who ran away were light infantry, and they left behind a lot of baggage and supplies."

"Especially the Japanese horses, artillery, food, medicine, etc. These are all things we urgently need."

Sun Zhen on the side nodded: "Sir Chen, what Lao Xue said is right."

"In war, there will sometimes be some mistakes. Moreover, war is about money and food. We have seized so much supplies from the Japanese army this time."

"It can be considered a good victory. The war between us and the Japanese army is a protracted war."

"We are now consuming the Japanese army's money and food, which can slowly bring down the little devils and make the Japanese army poor. It is best to be as poor as us."

Hearing this, Chen Cheng took a few steps and said, "I know what you are saying!"

"I'm just complaining. I'm very happy to have such great results."

Just when everyone was sighing, a staff officer ran into the headquarters and shouted: "Commander Sun, Commander Xue, Commander Chen!"

"Our reinforcements are coming, Commander Fan Shaozeng of the 88th Army is here!"

"The three divisions he led are less than two kilometers away from us. Commander Fan Shaozeng is riding a fast horse and has already arrived at the headquarters."

Immediately!

Now everyone began to cheer. The three divisions arrived at Wanjialing. This was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Republic of China army.

This is a great thing!

"Let's go..." Sun Zhen said: "Let's go meet Lao Fan in person."

With that said, Sun Zhen, Xue Yue, Chen Cheng and others left the headquarters. As soon as they walked to the door, they saw Fan Shaozeng coming on horseback with the guard platoon leader.

Lao Fan saw Sun Zhen and others greeting him at the door. He was a little flattered and quickly dismounted and came to Sun Zhen and others.

"Brother Sun..." After saying that, Lao Fan immediately shook hands with Sun Zhen, and then shook hands with Sun Zhen and Chen Cheng.

Finally, he came to Yu Hua and hugged Yu Hua: "Brother Yu... give me my proposal."

"After I did this, I really didn't expect my 88th Army."

"There were fifty to sixty thousand troops in one fell swoop. Brother, I was shocked when I gathered the troops."

Yu Hua smiled: "Brother, we will discuss this matter later. Now it is a critical moment to encircle and annihilate the 106th Division."

"Just now we all thought we could only severely damage the 106th Division and regretted it, but you arrived with your troops. It was a timely blessing."

"If you have any mission, just tell me, brother, and I will definitely do it:"

"My soldiers are not afraid of getting tired and can go into battle immediately." Fan Shaozeng wiped his cheek and said, "Brother, give me the order!"

"Okay..." Yu Hua clapped his hands happily: "Brother, I will assign the guard battalion of the 22nd Army to your three divisions."

"Ask them to serve as guides for your division and immediately move to the location of the Dajinshan Mountains to block the Japanese retreating to De'an."

"This group of devils must block Jinshan and Jinshan and not let a single soldier go." Fan Shaozeng stood at attention and said, "Brother, don't worry, even if it's a bird, I won't let it pass through my position. .”

Immediately, Yu Hua gave Fan Shaozeng some suggestions.

That is to get out of the way of the road, use mines and explosives to block the Japanese armored vehicles, tanks, and cars, and trap the Japanese troops.

Buy time for the army to encircle you, and don't be afraid of casualties when blocking the attack!

Lao Fan readily accepted it. Now his 88th Army is equivalent to a group army. With so many soldiers, Lao Fan doesn't worry about the number of soldiers at all.

The guard battalion of the 22nd Group Army followed Fan Shaozeng's three divisions of the 88th Army and quickly rushed to the Big and Small Jinshan Mountains.

The Japanese troops remaining on the eastern front were now at a disadvantage facing the artillery fire from the Sichuan Army and the 74th Army.

However, many Japanese troops are still fighting in a corner, and the fighting between the two sides is still fierce!

In the dark night, there were intensive gunfire and shells in the Wanjialing area, and soldiers on both sides continued to fall.

Thirty minutes later, three divisions of Fan Shaozeng's 88th Army had successfully intercepted the Japanese army.

On the road, seven or eight Japanese armored vehicles and tanks were blown up.

The Japanese army's car convoy has blocked the road, blocking Matsuura Junrokuro's hope of escaping eastward.

Ou Zhen's Fourth Army, under the cover of the Sichuan Army's heavy artillery, finally captured the Japanese army's main position and began to coordinate with Guo Xunqi and Rao Guohua's divisions to launch a pursuit of the Japanese army.

The remaining troops on the western front lived up to expectations and finally wiped out the remaining Japanese troops. Everyone immediately began to circle back to the eastern front, preparing to block the retreat route of the Japanese army on the eastern front.

Ji Zhangjian's 91th Reserve Division and Feng Zhanhai's st Division suffered relatively serious casualties in the battle on the Western Front. However, they still commanded the troops and rushed to support the Eastern Front.

The current war situation has become particularly obvious. The annihilation of the Japanese 106th Division is a certainty...sooner or later! !

After Liu Changqing's independent brigade learned that reinforcements had arrived and blocked the Japanese army's escape route eastward.

He began to command the artillery battalion to suppress the Japanese artillery wing on the eastern front;

Then the infantry of the entire brigade began to charge, preparing to destroy the Japanese artillery position that was an eyesore.

The remaining Japanese troops on the Eastern Front have almost run out of ammunition after such a long battle;

In particular, the Japanese artillery regiment was suppressed by the firepower of the artillery battalion of Liu Changqing's independent brigade.

The Japanese artillery could not raise its head at all. Twenty minutes later, the Japanese artillery regiment's position was taken away by Liu Changqing's brigade.

After capturing the Japanese artillery positions, the Japanese troops on the eastern front no longer had fire support, and Yu Jishi's 74th Army immediately launched a major counterattack.

In addition, divisions Feng Zhanhai and Ji Zhangjian, who had detoured from the western front, as well as divisions Chen Zongjin and Chen Dingxun of the Sichuan Army, and the Japanese troops left behind on the eastern front continued to resist for thirty minutes before being completely wiped out.

At this time, on the road leading to De'an, Matsuura Junrokuro was very depressed!

Because the road ahead had been occupied by a sudden army, and his army was blocked.

Seven or eight tanks and armored vehicles were blown up and lay scattered on the road, making it difficult for the entire army to move forward.

In the dark night, burning tanks and armored vehicles lit up the road, and the soldiers did not dare to move forward;

Because, on this road, mines and explosives were laid by the Sichuan army.

This is the first time the 106th Division has tasted the Sichuan Army's landmines and explosives!

The front-stepping and back-exploding thunders, serial thunders, and multi-child thunders, etc., indeed brought a lot of deterrence to the Japanese soldiers of the 106th Division.

Sakurai Rakuzo came to report: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, our contact with the remaining troops has been interrupted."

"The rear troops reported that many Republic of China troops came from the northeast and south with torches to encircle us."

Hearing this, Matsuura Junrokuro closed his eyes: Encircled on three sides... This is an encirclement and annihilation battle!

He led his troops and finally escaped from the encirclement, but now he was trapped by the Republic of China army.

Most of the imperial warriors were already in very poor mental condition, according to his estimate of the strength of the Republic of China army.

It is estimated that it will be difficult for the 106th Division to hold on until dawn. (End of chapter)
