"You are ruthless enough, as soon as you shoot, you will be annihilated!" Tong Dehou stretched out his thumb and praised.

Shao Fei replied: "It's just the devil playing around. Artillery bombarded, infantry charged; Infantry rushed, artillery bombarded; After rushing back, retreating and rushing; Rush and retreat, retreat and retreat, wait until we are almost consumed, and then take it in one fell swoop. Therefore, I will not fight back within less than fifty meters of the devils, and I don't want the fighters to be exposed to enemy fire too early. ”

"It makes sense that we'll be able to collect equipment up close."

"Alright, let's hurry up and clear the battlefield. We can only play it once. The next round can only be suppressed by firepower. ”

After Shao Fei finished speaking, he returned to the position, thinking about how to slaughter the devil in the next round of attacks.

The 31st Division in the city held its position to the death, and the soldiers and the Japanese army lived to the death; The fighting outside the city was also extremely hot, and tens of thousands of people on both sides fought in the dark.

The 30th Division, the 27th Division, and the 44th Independent Brigade stationed on the canal defense line fought very tenaciously, and both sides paid a heavy price.

In order to alleviate the pressure on the 31st Division of Taierzhuang, the commander of the 40th Army, Feng Anbang, sent two regiments of the 27th Division, and the division commander Huang Qiaosong commanded the continuous raids and harassment of the rear of the Japanese army.

One morning, the two regiments first occupied Shaojiazhuang, Qianyuan Village, Tomb and other places, and then approached Liujiahu.

When Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya learned of this, he was reluctant to divide his troops from the Taierzhuang defensive line. He is now full of thoughts about capturing Taierzhuang and swinging his army to Xuzhou. But he was facing all the main forces of the Second Army of the Northwest Army, the 31st Division, the 30th Division, the 44th Independent Brigade, and the two regiments of the 27th Division. As a result, Ryosuke Isoya asked the Sakamoto detachment of the Fifth Division to go south to clear the Chinese army near Liujiahu and stabilize the rear.

The Japanese army in Liujiahu has been surrounded by two regiments of the 27th Division, and more than 500 devils are trapped in the area of Liujiahu waiting for reinforcements.

At the temporary headquarters of the 27th Division on the right flank, division commander Huang Qiaosong learned the news that the Sakamoto detachment had come to support, and the troops hesitated to attack or retreat.

An officer suggested: "Let's withdraw, and take it when we see it." Liujiahu is now garrisoned by 500 Japanese troops, and it is not easy to take it. ”

Another officer also agreed with the retreat, saying: "Although Liujiahu has been surrounded by us, the fortifications are strong and will not be able to take it for a while." If once bitten, as soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrive, they will attack inside and outside, and it will be difficult to withdraw at that time. ”

Most of the officers expressed the same idea, with only a few opposing the evacuation. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join forces, and it would be a pity to give it up.

Huang Qiaosong hesitated, he didn't want to take risks, and he didn't want to miss this great opportunity to annihilate the Japanese army.

"Withdraw what to withdraw! As a soldier, how dare you say retreat before you fight! ”

A very loud and full voice came from the door of the headquarters.

"Throne!"

All the officers saluted a fifty-five-year-old general. Fifty-five years old, at that time, he was considered an old man (Sun Lianzhong was ten years younger than him).

And he saw that the man was tall and strong. Although his face was full of wrinkles, it could not hide the heroic spirit that a soldier should have, and the sharp eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses were so bright. This person is serious about Feng Anbang.

"What a disappointment for you descendants. The two regiments were frightened by five hundred devils, and it was rumored that Lao Tzu didn't have to mix up in the Northwest Army! ”

As he spoke, Feng Anbang walked to the center of the command room, and those people quickly dispersed. Feng Anbang looked at the battle map carefully, and then said, "Have you carefully studied the situation of the enemy or the enemy? A Sakamoto detachment scares you like this. ”

Huang Qiaosong asked in a low voice on the side: "Junzao, what do you think?"

Feng Anbang did not respond to Huang Qiaosong, he was still focusing on the map, constantly thinking about deduction in his head. In fact, Feng Anbang doesn't like Huang Qiaosong's bookish anger very much, and he writes poems and comforts at every turn, and he doesn't have the toughness that a soldier should have. (was killed by Lao Jiang, and he had to make a poem.) ）

After a while, Feng Anbang said: "This battle can be fought. It will take at least three hours for the full enemy to arrive, as long as we settle the battle in those three hours. In a war, we should not be afraid of the wolf and the tiger in the future, but should analyze the strength of the enemy and ourselves, subjective and objective factors. ”

"Yes!" The officers stood together as if they were being instructed.

Feng Anbang commanded with a murderous aura: "Pass my order and quickly launch an attack on the devils in the area of Liujiahu." ordered the artillery to launch a half-hour shelling of it; The left flank troops were ordered to concentrate their firepower on Liujiahu and launch a feint attack. Half an hour later, the right-wing troops directly launched a charge, and the big sword was red! To play the momentum of the Northwest Army, the bloody nature of the Northwest boys! ”

"Yes!" "Yes!"

Feng Anbang is the anchor of these officers, and with him on the front line and personally in charge, they will have confidence.

The two regiments soon launched an attack on Liujiahu. The devils in the area of Liujiahu had already built fortifications, and the two fronts dealt with the troops on both flanks of the 27th Division.

"Boom Boom"

The artillery of the 27th Division launched an artillery attack on the left flank of the Japanese army, and the troops on the right flank also transported heavy weapons such as mortars to the left flank, giving the Japanese army the illusion of attacking the left flank. Under such heavy artillery fire, the Japanese left flank position suffered heavy casualties.

After half an hour of shelling, the left flank of the 27th Division launched a fierce attack. Under the cover of machine-gun fire, the infantry approached the opposing positions.

The battle lasted twenty minutes, but the Japanese right flank did not move.

"Seat, the Japanese army still hasn't moved." An officer reported to Feng Anbang.

Feng Anbang sat on a chair in the middle of the command room and calmly, and ordered: "Order the left flank to increase the intensity of the attack, and after ten minutes, if the Japanese army has not moved, the feint attack will become the main attack." The right-wing troops interspersed from the center, cutting them off. ”

"Yes!" The officer quickly conveyed Feng Anbang's order to the front.

The left flank of the Japanese army was constantly attacked by the Northwest Army like a tide, and most of the losses were lost. Only then did the Japanese commander determine that the enemy's main attack direction was the left flank, so he ordered the right flank troops to quickly reinforce it.

"Good!" Feng Anbang was overjoyed when he learned the news, slapped the table, and ordered loudly: "Pass me on my order to quickly launch an artillery bombardment on the right flank of the Japanese army, and order the troops on the right flank to directly go to the big sword and capture the local position." After succeeding, the troops on both wings launched a general attack and completely annihilated all the Japanese troops in Liujiahu! ”

Why did Feng Anbang insist on launching the main attack on the right flank of the Japanese army, and why was the devil reluctant to reinforce the left flank? The reason is simple, the topography is a problem. The left flank is easy to defend, and the right flank is slightly lower and not easy to defend.

And why didn't Feng Anbang attack directly from the right flank, which was easy to attack, because if it could not be attacked for a while, the Japanese army on the left flank would be reinforced, and then it would be stalemate, or even dragged down. As soon as the Japanese reinforcements arrived, they attacked from the flank, and the 27th Division had to shed its skin if it did not die.

"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”

On the right flank, there were murderous voices in all directions. The Northwest Army took advantage of the geographical advantage, and the enemy position withdrew part of its troops, and the 27th Division quickly attacked the opponent's position and started a white-knuckle battle.

The Northwest Army was almost ten times the enemy's strength, completely crushing the devils, and the battle ended after only ten minutes.

As soon as the battle ended, the right flank troops quickly launched a charge behind the left flank position of the devils.

At this time, the battle on the left flank was still in a scorching state, and the Northwest Army killed it from the rear, and the devil troops were suddenly in chaos. The Northwest Army on the left flank took the opportunity to charge and besiege this gang of devils.

These less than 200 devils were wiped out under the attack of the two regiments. The devils in the Liujiahu area were completely annihilated, which effectively reduced the pressure on the 31st Division of Taierzhuang.

Immediately after the battle, Feng Anbang ordered the troops to withdraw in a southeasterly direction and return to the canal defense line.
