The general offensive battle of the 9th Brigade Regiment in Taierzhuang lasted for several hours, from night to early morning, and this fierce battle ended.

After a bloody battle, the Nationalist troops basically annihilated the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army and crushed the enemy's two-way reinforcements.

The victory of this war of annihilation is the great victory of Taierzhuang that shocked China and foreign countries!

The Battle of Taierzhuang lasted more than a month from early March to early April.

In the continuous fierce battle between the two sides for more than a month, the Chinese army invested nearly 300,000 combat troops, and the Japanese troops participated in the battle, including the 4th Division, the 5th Division, and the 10th Division.

Although the battle of Taierzhuang was won by the Chinese army, the Chinese army paid more than 50,000 casualties, while the Japanese suffered more than 35,000 casualties (one of the brigades was completely annihilated by the security regiment). ）

In the daytime, the news of the great victory of Taierzhuang created by the 5th War Zone spread all over the country.

When the Chinese military and civilians learned the news of Taierzhuang's victory, they were excited, and the whole people were boiling, which greatly boosted the morale of our Chinese nation!

The victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors and further strengthened the confidence and determination of the military and people throughout the country to persist in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

This campaign changed the perception of the international friendly forces of contempt for Chinese soldiers, extinguished the prestige of the Japanese invaders, and annihilated a large number of living forces of the Japanese army.

This victory is another unprecedented victory since the Chinese nation's all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression!

In a strategic sense, the victory at Taierzhuang broke the Japanese army's strategic attempt of "quick victory" and was also a powerful weight for persisting in the protracted war of resistance.

After the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army was annihilated, the Japanese front-line troops were worried that the Nationalist troops in the 5th Theater would take advantage of the victory to encircle them, and the Japanese army immediately made some adjustments and deployments to deal with the Nationalist Army.

Soon, the Japanese 5th Division and the 10th Division fled in a hurry with the remnants, and finally the enemy fled to Yicheng to hold on.

……

Tianjin area, the North China Command of the Japanese Army.

Such a great victory for the Chinese army in the Battle of Taierzhuang was a disgraceful defeat for the Japanese army.

In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the 33rd Brigade and the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army were almost completely annihilated, which was the biggest defeat of the Japanese army in North China since the invasion of China, and it was also the battle with the largest casualties of the enemy.

At this time, the commander of the Japanese army, Terauchi Shouichi, saw the news report of the Chinese army's victory in Taierzhuang, and immediately almost got angry with a mouthful of old blood.

"Bagaya Road, damn 5th War Zone, damn Chinese army, I'm going to let you all die, die!!"

After reading the newspaper, Terauchi Shou's lungs exploded, and he angrily tore the newspaper in his hand into pieces.

Fragments of newspapers were scattered everywhere in the Devil Command, and the surrounding Devil Officers lowered their heads in panic, and they didn't dare to come out.

"Ryosuke Isoya, Seishiro Itagaki, these two bale wastes, and that Yuzaburo Matsui is really a coward, this group of nonsense is simply a shameful scum of our North China Front!!"

At this moment, the shame in Shouichi Terauchi's heart cannot be described in words.

The 33rd Brigade and the 9th Brigade are both elite devils, and the destruction of these two brigades is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Japanese North China Front.

If Ryosuke Isoya and Seishiro Itagaki were standing at the headquarters, Shouichi Terauchi would definitely chop up these two fools who underestimated the enemy with a command knife.

Yuzaburo Matsui's 4th Division, although it was also unfavorable in battle, at least preserved the strength of the troops and reduced unnecessary casualties.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please calm your anger."

Chief of Staff Watanabe Mitsuo persuaded Terauchi Shouichi, and then said: "Your Excellency, it is imperative that we reorganize our troops to stabilize the morale of the army, and redeploy and deploy troops to besiege the Xuzhou area. ”

After Terauchi Shouichi calmed down, he thought about it carefully, what the chief of staff said was also right, the matter had come to this point, and the main task of besieging Xuzhou was the North China Front.

After a while, a devil Shaozuo handed over several telegrams.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, it's the commander of the Isoya Division, and the commander of the Itagaki Division!"

Shouichi Terauchi angrily snatched the telegram and read the contents of the telegram carefully.

"These two wastes, and the face to send a telegram to the headquarters to confess their guilt, they really should be seppuku to thank the emperor and those imperial soldiers who died in battle, and the headquarters should dismiss these two men from their duties as division commanders......" Terauchi Shouichi said angrily, and then threw the telegram aside.

Chief of Staff Watanabe Mitsuo picked up the telegram and glanced at it, and said to Terauchi Shouichi in a tactful tone: "Your Excellency Commander, our North China Front Army is employing people, and I think that I can make the commanders of Isoya and Itagaki Division guilty and meritorious. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, now that the battle situation in Xuzhou has begun, it is impossible to temporarily change the generals, we should stabilize the morale of all troops, regroup and fight Xuzhou again......"

Terauchi Shouichi said that he wanted to replace the two old devils, Isoya and Itagaki, but in fact, he didn't want to do it in his heart.

Ryosuke Isoya and Seishiro Itagaki were both excellent generals of the Japanese North China Front, and if the headquarters replaced them, Terauchi Shouichi really couldn't find a suitable candidate to replace them as division commanders.

Although Terauchi Shouichi is the commander, he can't always protect his subordinates, because the Japanese army headquarters will also inquire about the matter and even report it to the emperor.

Of course, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and Terauchi Shouichi, as the commander, if the defeat of Ryosuke Isoya and Seishiro Itagaki continues to expand, the North China Front will also lose face.

Terauchi Shouichi thought carefully for a moment and decided to personally send a telegram to the base camp in his own name, preparing to stay with Itagaki and Isoya.

After the Devil Communications Department sent a telegram, Terauchi Shouichi asked the rest of the Devil officers and generals to sit down at the conference table, ready to discuss how to besiege the Xuzhou area......

The Japanese army was defeated in the Taierzhuang area, and in order to save the face of the North China Front, the devil officers and generals of the headquarters changed their operational deployment again and decided to expand the battle situation.

After the battle of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army found that all the large troops of the 5th Theater were gathered in the surrounding areas of Xuzhou, so the Japanese army decided to come to a counter-encirclement and encircle all the Chinese defenders in Xuzhou.

I have to say that the Japanese army's large-scale encirclement battle plan is indeed ruthless and poisonous, and once the little devil's strategic plan really succeeds, then the defenders of the 5th theater are in danger.

The ambition of the little devil is indeed huge, and he wants to eat hundreds of thousands of the main force of the national army in one bite, but the Japanese army needs at least ten divisions to complete such a large encirclement.

The strength of the Japanese Army in North China was limited, and the Japanese Army in North China had to send troops to control some of the strategic points it occupied, so that the enemy's forces were too scattered, and it was impossible to organize a large-scale encirclement and annihilation battle.

The Japanese army was unable to deploy troops from the country, and in order to realize the strategic attempt of the Great Encirclement, the Japanese army had to mobilize troops from other Japanese troops invading China to support the Xuzhou Theater......
