I am God of War in Snow Leopard

Chapter 218 Preparing to break out (seeking monthly ticket for subscription)
Because they regarded the Tiger Regiment as a powerful ace unit, the Japanese outside the city after some discussions.

In addition to using artillery groups composed of two artillery regiments to carry out indiscriminate and violent bombardment of the city for two hours.

Two old devils, Tanabe Shoichi and Takamori Rei, also called for air support.

More than 20 sorties of Japanese bombers successively carried out violent air raids and bombings on the city of Hefei for more than an hour.

After the air raid ended, the Japanese army once again invested more than 2000 fresh troops and launched a new attack from the south of the city towards Hefei.

But without exception, they were once again repelled by the prepared Tiger and Ben regiments.

Angry and angry, Tanabe Shoichi, Takamori Rei and others immediately ordered their artillery group to use poison gas bombs.

However, all members of the Huben regiment were equipped with gas masks as standard, and the devil's gas bombs failed to achieve the killing effect they wanted.

After the gas bombs were fired, a large number of devil soldiers wearing gas masks took the opportunity to break into the city from the south of the city, trying to wipe out the Huben regiment and take Hefei in one fell swoop.

However, what greeted them was the still intensive and powerful firepower of the Tiger Regiment.

After a fierce battle, the devils left hundreds of corpses again, and hurriedly withdrew from the city.

For a while, the battle between the two sides in Hefei fell into a stalemate.

Seeing that the gas bombs still failed to wipe out the defenders in the city, Tanabe Shoichi and Takamori also began to doubt life.

"Bagaya Road! What is this Chinese army in the city made of? How could it be that the special bullets are ineffective?"

"General, according to reports from the retreating siege troops, the Chinese army in the city is also equipped with gas masks, so our gas bombs have not been effective!"

A ghost assistant officer who came back from the front line to supervise the battle reported to Tanabe Shengyi and Takamori Ling with a depressed expression.

"Baga!" Ying Senling roared and asked, unable to hide his anger, "Where did the Chinese army get the gas masks? They don't even have enough bullets!"

"General, when the Sakamoto detachment was besieged, the Imperial Army airdropped a large amount of supplies.

In addition, the Sakamoto detachment and reinforcements were wiped out one after another, so there should be a lot of gas masks, so they fell into the hands of the Chinese Army.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Hefei defenders had gas masks. "

An adjutant next to him hastily explained.

After hearing this, the Takamori Order and Tanabe Shoichi were furious. They immediately ordered to stop the attack again and convened an emergency military meeting to discuss countermeasures.

……

At the same time, the Xuzhou Fifth Theater Command.

The commander-in-chief Li Zongren and the little Zhuge Bai Jiansheng who came to inspect are also discussing the battle situation.

In front of the giant combat map and sand table, a senior combat counselor wore white gloves and held a wooden command pole. He pointed at the sand table in front of everyone and said to Commander Li, Bai Jiansheng and others:
"General Officer, Sir Bai, now the Japanese 5th Division has been repelled, and the LY direction is safe for the time being.

The biggest threat on the northern battlefield comes from the 10th Division in the direction of Jining.

According to reliable news from the front, the main force of the enemy's 10th Division is already under the cover of tanks, artillery and aircraft.

They began to march towards Teng County. It seemed that they planned to break through Teng County and go straight to Taierzhuang.

Taierzhuang is the last gateway to the north of Xuzhou. If this place is lost, Xuzhou will be in danger! "

General Li looked at the sand table and said to Bai Jiansheng beside him, "Jiansheng, what's your opinion on the battle situation?"

Bai Jiansheng looked at the sand table, then turned his head to look at the battle map next to him, and after a long thought, he said: "Mr. De, the situation on the northern front battlefield seems to be more critical, but in fact the fighter plane to wipe out the enemy has appeared!"

As he spoke, he took the command stick from the senior combat officer, pointed to the LY area on the map and said, "Mr. De, please take a look.

In the north, Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong's troops have joined forces to withstand the attack of the enemy's 5th Division and repel it!

Now that the enemy has retreated to rest, it will be difficult to organize troops to go south in a short time.

In this case, the 10th Division in the west should stop at the Jining line and wait for the 5th Division in the north to reorganize its attack before attacking again.

In order for the two main divisions to advance side by side, to prevent their own troops from going deep alone.

However, this 10th Division is crazy and has no limits.

Instead of stopping, they continued to advance to the southeast. In this way, they inevitably committed a taboo of military strategists, which is to underestimate the enemy and advance alone! "

A senior staff officer on the side couldn't help but said: "Mr. Bai, could it be the 10th Division? I don't know that the 5th Division has already retreated?"

Bai Jiansheng immediately shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible, no matter what, the enemy's communication technology level is better than our national army.

We all know, how could they not know? "

"That's why I said, this 10th Division is extremely arrogant!"

Li Zongren looked at the map and immediately understood Bai Jiansheng's intention. He nodded meaningfully and said: "From the current point of view, the 10th Division is closer to us, but conversely, they are also deeper than the 5th Division. !”

Bai Jiansheng said solemnly: "Yes, if they capture Teng County and attack Taierzhuang, then from the overall strategic perspective, they will go deeper."

As he spoke, Bai Jiansheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Zongren and others: "Everyone, Tang Enbo's current location is in the northwest mountainous area of ​​Taierzhuang.

If we can stop the Japanese army at Taierzhuang, and then use Tang Enbo's troops to outflank and attack back and forth, we will surely achieve full success! "

Li Zongren nodded approvingly and said: "However, the premise is that we must have a capable army that can hold off the enemy in Taierzhuang for at least three days!

Buy enough time for Tang Enbo's army to outflank! "

A senior combat officer present said: "Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army is already in place and can be deployed to Taierzhuang!"

Bai Jiansheng nodded and said: "There are still three divisions in the Sun Department, more than [-] people, and they are worthy of heavy responsibility."

"However, it will take time for the troops to station and build fortifications, so the troops need to stand on the front line of Teng County for several days to buy time for the 2nd Army to deploy their defenses!"

Li Zongren immediately asked: "Check, what troops are currently defending Teng County?"

A combat staff officer immediately replied: "The 22nd Division of the 41st Army of the 122nd Army, Wang Mingzhang's department, and some local police and militias!"

"Immediately telegraph Wang Mingzhang, be sure to stick to Teng County for three days! Within three days, no one is allowed to take a step back without an order!
Be sure to keep the Japanese army on the front line of Fuji County, and those who dare to escape will be severely punished! "

……

Fuji County, the 122nd Division Division.

As soon as the division commander Wang Mingzhang came back from inspecting the troops and the city defense, a communication staff officer who stayed at the division headquarter rushed out to greet him, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the division seat, the commander's department of the fifth theater is urgently calling!"

"Read!" Wang Mingzhang raised his hand to signal.

"The Chief Department ordered the 122nd Division to guard Teng County for three days. Without an order, it is not allowed to retreat without authorization. Those who violate the order will do so according to the military law!!"

The communications staff immediately read according to the telegram.

Wang Mingzhang looked stern when he heard this, and immediately said: "Give me the order to assemble all the troops that can be assembled immediately. I want to lecture you!"

"Yes!" An accompanying adjutant immediately stood up and gladly accepted the order.

At that time, including the 122nd Division, the situation of all Sichuan troops in North China was very bad.

After the July [-]th Incident, the main force of the Sichuan Army was divided into two groups and vowed to fight.

One of them was transferred to the front line of Songhu, where blood stained the banks of the Huangpu River and was almost wiped out.

The other is the 22nd Group Army where Wang Mingzhang belongs, which was transferred to the front line in Shanxi.

However, due to poor equipment, poor training, and long journeys, many Sichuan troops were in ragged clothes and looked like beggars.

Commander Yan of the Jin-Sui Army and the National Army in North China both looked down upon them.

Coupled with the lack of supplies, the military discipline is poor, and no one is willing to accept them.

It was generally used as cannon fodder on the front line until the establishment of the Fifth Theater and the outbreak of the Battle of Xuzhou.

The Sichuan Army of the North Route, which no one wanted anywhere, was recruited from the 2nd Theater by General Li Zongren, who was short of major generals.

However, after the long journey and continuous combat in North China during this period.

All units of the 22nd Army paid a heavy price.

Wang Mingzhang's 122nd Division was no exception. When it arrived in Teng County, there were less than 122 people left in the entire 5000nd Division, including the team directly under the division.

Among them, more than 2000 people were transferred by the 41st Army to participate in the deployment of the area around Teng County.

Until Wang Mingzhang received an order from the theater chief's department, these people could not be transferred back.

Therefore, Wang Mingzhang can only gather more than 3000 troops at this moment.

They also include some local police and militiamen from Teng County.

More than 3000 people quickly received orders and completed the assembly.

Wang Mingzhang, surrounded by his adjutants and staff guards, came to the front of the troops.

Facing the eager eyes of the generals of the Sichuan Army, Wang Mingzhang climbed onto a collapsed low wall.

Standing on the top, he said to the crowd with a loud voice: "Brothers, since our Sichuan army came out of Sichuan, we have encountered obstacles everywhere.

It was Chief Li who took us in regardless of past suspicions!Give us the opportunity to serve our country!

Just now, I received an order from the superior department, requiring us to defend Teng County for three days!

What I want to say is that this is a great opportunity for the soldiers of my 122nd Division and the soldiers of our Sichuan Army to resist Japan and protect the country!
Now I order that the whole division be deployed against Teng County, and stand firm for three days. No one is allowed to retreat without an order from the superior!

Even if you fight to the last soldier, you are not allowed to retreat!Do you understand? "

The officers and soldiers in the audience were silent, and Wang Mingzhang continued: "Thinking of our Sichuan Army soldiers, the civil war has lasted for more than 20 years, and the country and the people have committed a lot of crimes!

Today in Teng County, it is a good time for us to fight to protect the country and wash away our sins!
We want the Japanese devils to know that as long as there is a Sichuan guy in China who wants to destroy our China, that is his mother's spring and autumn dream! "

These words immediately ignited all the soldiers of the 122nd Division, suppressing the anger and bloodiness in their hearts for a long time.

A battalion commander immediately raised his arms and shouted: "If the Sichuanese don't die, the Chinese will die!"

"Don't perish!"

"Don't perish!"

The three thousand Sichuan Army athletes raised their arms and shouted with a strong Sichuan accent.

When Wang Mingzhang saw this, he immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, I, Wang Mingzhang, swear to live or die with Teng County!"

"We are willing to follow the seat of the teacher, and swear to live and die with Teng County!"

"We are willing to follow the seat of the teacher, and swear to live and die with Teng County!"

"We are willing to follow the seat of the teacher, and swear to live and die with Teng County!"

Three thousand soldiers responded with roars in unison, and their morale was boiling for a while, and their fighting spirit was high!
……

Wuchang, the leader's retreat.

Principal Chang asked Wang Shihe: "Shihe, how is the situation in Xuzhou going?"

Wang Shihe immediately replied: "General Zhang Zizhong led the 59th Army on the southern front to rush to the Huaihe defense line.

Also Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo rushed to help Hefei. At present, the Huaihe defense line is as stable as Mount Tai, and Hefei is still in the hands of our army!
On the northern front, thanks to General Zhang Zizhong leading the 59th Army to go northward quickly, they arrived in LY in time, assisted Pang Bingxun's troops to successfully hold their positions, and severely damaged the enemy's 5th Division.

Therefore, LY is on the front line, safe for now!

The only dangerous place is the area around Taierzhuang in Teng County, northwest of Xuzhou.

According to the intelligence obtained by the students, the enemy's 10th Division has already marched towards Teng County after capturing Jining! "

Principal Chang couldn't help nodding his head and praised, "Zhang Zizhong and Xu Qingfeng are all heroes.

On the front line of Teng County and Taierzhuang, what is the deployment of the fifth theater? "

"The specific combat units have not yet been reported by the Fifth War Zone, so the position is unclear." Wang Shihe answered truthfully.

Principal Chang was immediately disappointed, because he and Li Zongren had something to say first.

General Li served as the 5th theater, commanding and defending Xuzhou is no problem, but he refused to micromanage.

In other words, General Li did not need to report to him, the supreme commander, before he had the opportunity to make a decision.

In fact, this is exactly what General Li did, including luring the enemy to go deep and gathering and annihilating the enemy in Taierzhuang. He did not report this battle plan.

Fortunately, there was no report, otherwise the news might have been leaked to scare the snake.

It is precisely because of this that Principal Chang currently does not have a very deep understanding of the battle situation on the front line.

Sighing, he said to Wang Shihe: "Send a secret message to Tang Enbo and tell him to adapt to the situation and not act blindly!"

This is very level, because Tang Enbo's 20th Army was the only elite unit of the Central Army that was considered to be under President Chang at the time.

The other ace troops were almost wiped out in the Songhu Battlefield, the Nanjing Battlefield, and the North China Battlefield.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Tang Enbo's department can be regarded as the last trump card in Principal Chang's hand, so he should use it with caution!

Wang Shihe naturally understood what Principal Chang meant, and immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, students understand!"

……

In the city of Hefei, the Huben regiment headquarters.

The devils used tanks, cannons, planes, and even gas bombs, but they still couldn't defeat the Huben regiment. After Hefei was captured.

Their large-scale offensive came to a halt. Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Qingfeng and Zhou Weiguo immediately called a meeting with their main battalion-level officers.

"Brothers, the enemy's attack has been thwarted, and it will soon be dark. Our mission and effect of blocking the enemy have been achieved.

It’s time to break out next! "

Scanning the crowd with dagger-like eyes, Xu Qingfeng said solemnly: "I am ordering all battalions and companies to prepare for a breakout according to the battle plan!"
