Due to the timely arrival of reinforcements, the last line of defense of Taierzhuang was preserved.

Outside the south gate, by the canal, the plan to encircle has failed, and the Japanese army has begun to retreat one after another.

Under the leadership of General Chi Fengcheng, the 31st Division fought bloodily for 11 days, and the whole division was almost annihilated to hold Taierzhuang, gaining precious time for the encirclement of the peripheral troops. Now they just have to wait for the last moment of the big counteroffensive.

On the night of the 3rd, the entire battlefield was unusually quiet. Both sides are healing their wounds and waiting for tomorrow's earth-shattering events.

Shao Fei was called to his camp by Chen Haotian. In a big tent, Chen Haotian set up a table of good wine and good food, and wanted to drink with Shao Fei.

Shao Fei entered the camp tent, saw a table of good dishes, and said with a smile: "It's wartime, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"

Chen Haotian personally invited Shao Fei to sit down and said, "The overall situation has been decided. Besides, my unit is not subject to any control, and I have the final say. I don't know why, I just want to drink, I want to drink alone with you. Maybe ...... later"

As he spoke, Chen Haotian picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.

Chen Haotian hissed, looked at the wine glass, and said, "It's spicy enough, I never drink white." You know that I am most afraid of my wife, and she won't let me drink white and hurt my body. ”

Shao Fei could see that Chen Haotian had something on his mind, so he drank all the wine on the table and said, "You are not afraid, but love." There are some things in the world that are very strange, and some people are together every day, but they can't be together; And some, who have not known each other for a long time, can make friends and become friends. We're in a desperate situation today, but I knew you were going to send troops to the rescue. ”

"Don't talk about that." Chen Haotian poured wine for himself and Shao Fei, and said, "I called you here today to ask you what your plans are in the future." I Chen Haotian doesn't have any friends, you Shao Fei is one. But I don't think I'll ever have a chance to drink alone with you, or fight alongside you. ”

Without waiting for Chen Haotian to drink, Shao Fei drank it all by himself and said, "I don't know." This hurdle may not be passed. Because there are so many things that I can't justify. ”

"Since you don't want to change anything, history is a foregone conclusion, why don't you just walk away!?"

Shao Fei looked around, and Chen Haotian said, "Don't worry, there is no one within a radius of 100 meters."

Shao Fei said: "I can't tell, maybe I have changed, and the number of people who died because of me is tens of thousands." But the wheel of history is still running according to its original trajectory. I'm a soldier, and I just want to do what a soldier should do. ”

"You don't want to look at the intelligence systems of the three parties. Maybe you're getting information on your side and your own. Guess what's going to happen? ”

Shao Fei was silent, he knew the answer, but he didn't want to say it.

Chen Haotian replied for Shao Fei: "They will get you at all costs, and then they will do whatever it takes to get future information from you."

Shao Fei poured himself wine and drank it all again.

Chen Haotian said: "Let's go, take Liu Ying as far away as possible." With your ability, as long as you are willing to let go, no one will help you. ”

Shao Fei said: "I have this plan, but the matter is not over, and there are still many things that have not been understood, and I don't want to be sorry for some people."

"Haha" Chen Haotian laughed, pointed at Shao Fei and said, "Rotten good person." I know you're counting on the Dian army to help you, but don't be too hopeful, they are the national army after all. ”

"Not really. After this battle, I just want to go back to Yunnan, maybe there is my way home. Even if not, the mountains and rivers are far away, and there will be a place for me. ”

When Chen Haotian heard this, he drank all the wine on the table and said, "I will help you, although she doesn't want me to be involved." I was originally a wasted person, but you helped me. ”

As he spoke, Chen Haotian suddenly laughed and asked, "Just be selfish, since you know the future, show me the way." Where is my paradise and her. I'm just now realizing that she's everything in my life. ”

Shao Fei pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to have a place for Chinese, go to Taiwan." If you want to stay away from right and wrong, the Americas and Europe are as you like. ”

"Thank you." Chen Haotian picked up the wine glass and touched it with Shao Fei, and the two drank it all.

On 4 April, the Chinese troops on the periphery had arrived near Taierzhuang, forming a large encirclement posture in Taierzhuang. General Li Zongren gave the order for a general attack.

Xiangcheng, northwest of Taierzhuang, the detachment of the Sakamoto detachment was besieged by the troops of Tang Enbo's 20th Group Army and 3 armies with all their might, and suffered heavy losses. Logistics supplies were completely cut off, and communications were not smooth for a while.

The combat strength of the Sakamoto detachment is really difficult to support. On the night of the 5th, he sent a telegram to the Seya detachment, preparing to retreat after sunset on the 6th under the pretext that the detachment still had a plan to attack Linyi, and hoped that the Seya detachment would help cover and attack the national army that was besieging him.

The Seya Brigade has long been a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself. The Sakamoto detachment was originally here to support him, but now he called himself to support him, and he made such a shameless excuse.

Sun Lianzhong, who had been defending and being attacked, received the order to counterattack, looked excited, and gave the order, and the sound of Taierzhuang's killing shook the sky.

The national army launched barricade battles, street battles, hand-to-hand combat, and for a time, the city of Taierzhuang was rained with bullets and blood. Counterattack one by one, clear the enemy, and recapture the market occupied by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was unable to support it and was forced to the northwest and northeast positions. The Chinese Air Force bombed the northeast and northwest positions of Taierzhuang with 27 aircraft.

For the first time, the Japanese army was so stubbornly attacked by the Kuomintang army that it was quickly crushed. To the north of Taierzhuang, the sound of gunfire is getting denser. Keichi Seya has fallen into a counter-encirclement and is beginning to waver. and requested a retreat from the command of the 10th Division, but was refused.

On April 5, 1938, Seya Kai still decided to disobey the order and evacuate Taierzhuang. Kei Seya knew very well that after the Sakamoto detachment was defeated, the 20th Group would definitely move westward, and when the time came, it would not be easy for him to withdraw in the face of the two major group armies.

When Feng Anbang learned that Seya wanted to run, he immediately ordered the 27th Division to form a death squad and launched a night attack on the night of the 5th, capturing Mengzhuang, Peizhuang, Shaozhuang, Pengcun, and Canglang Temple in the northeast of Taierzhuang, cutting off the way to the northeast of the Japanese army.

On the night of 6 April, Li Zongren rushed to the vicinity of Taierzhuang and personally commanded the troops to counterattack on all fronts.

At 1 a.m. on April 7, the Chinese army sounded the clarion call for a counteroffensive, and the left wing corps composed of Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army and the right wing corps composed of Tang Enbo's 20th Army launched a large-scale counteroffensive in Taierzhuang and its vicinity.

At this time, the enemy army had become the end of the crossbow, the ammunition and gasoline had run out, many motor vehicles had been destroyed, and the whole army was devastated and fled in confusion.

Li Zongren ordered the troops to chase fiercely, the corpses of the enemy soldiers were all over the field, all kinds of baggage were everywhere, and Isoya himself led the remnants to desperately break through.

After 4 days of fierce fighting, the Nationalist army inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese Seya detachment and Sakamoto detachment, and the rest of the Japanese remnants retreated to Yicheng and Zaozhuang on the 7th.

So far, the Battle of Taierzhuang has been won. The Battle of Taierzhuang, under the personal command of Li Zongren, defeated the main forces of the 5th and 10th elite divisions of the Japanese army, annihilated more than 20,000 Japanese troops, captured a large number of weapons and ammunition, and seriously dampened the arrogance of the Japanese army, which was a great victory for the Kuomintang in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War. It has invigorated the spirit of the whole nation in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and strengthened the belief of the Chinese people in the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

The Battle of Taierzhuang won a big victory, but Shao Fei didn't know where to go? Even if you can justify yourself, but the news has been spread on major intelligence networks, and when the time comes, it will only be endless and the crisis will continue.
