502. The Gui Army of the Gargang Eel

I don't fight during the day, I'm busy hiding in a certain place to sleep, and at night we come out to play, constantly harassing, false and real, real and false, and I don't know if the harassment is real, give you a heavy punch.

This kind of unreasonable style of play can make the devils miserable, most of the devils of the 13th Division have not slept for three or four hours a day, and they have been dragged down, and what kind of battle are they fighting.

Some people say that the devils can also take the 31st Army's sports warfare, sleep during the day, and come out to play together at night, but the problem is that the devils are few and don't want to play like this, and they go out to fight at night, and the casualties on both sides are almost 1:1.

The devil can't afford this casualty rate and battle damage, and if he continues to play like this, it is estimated that all men of school age in Japan will die in less than two years.

And the Chinese army, with a lot of people, not to mention 1:1 casualties, can reach 2:1 casualties, they are already very happy, and they can also kill all the devils in Chinese mainland.

Some people say that the devil also slept during the day, nourished his spirits, and dealt with it with all his might at night, and he didn't come out of the position in the position, so there was nothing you could do about the Chinese army.

The problem is that it won't let you sleep peacefully during the day, and the 31st Army also sent small units during the day, taking companies as units, harassing everywhere, making a gesture here and pretending to bombard that side for a while, maybe it will come to you for a while, give you a moment, and make you uncomfortable for a long time.

The soldiers of the 31st Army don't have to sleep, but in fact, there are many families, tens of thousands of people, and the troops who harass during the day sleep at night, and the troops who sleep during the day will harass you at night.

As a result, the 13th Division, which was once majestic, was disgraced by the 31st Army, and was so angry that it was going crazy, and it couldn't be caught, and it couldn't be beaten, and it couldn't sleep well, and it was often beaten, and it was almost angry.

As a result, on the front line of the Mingguang River, the 31st Army killed more than 2,000 people of the 13th Division, and its own losses were more than 2,000, which was too cost-effective.

Therefore, the headquarters of the Central China Front in Nanjing saw that something was wrong, and immediately increased troops, tanks, artillery and other heavy firepower to support the 13th Division.

The most fundamental support for the 31st Army's style of play lies in the large number of people, once the number of devils is large, or they are almost the same as them, they will not be able to play.

Therefore, the Fifth Theater Command also responded, sending the most elite 7th Army to support the 31st Army, and at the same time getting out of the way of the frontal battlefield and entering the mountains to the west.

The elites of the Gui family shouted at the devil: "Come on, let's go into the mountains to play, it's very good, you're welcome." ”

You are fools to be devils, people drag cannons and tanks, and go over the mountains and mountains with you to play, so you don't do it.

Of course, Gui Jun is not only a master who can fight "slippery head battles", if he really has to fight hard, he is also a hard bone, a hard bone that cannot be bitten by a dog or beaten with iron.

When the Japanese army marched westward, as soon as it crossed the Mingguang River, and its foothold was not stable, it was fiercely resisted by the Gui army, and the two sides fought over the west bank of the Mingguang River more than a dozen times, and the blood flowed like a river.

Let the commander of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, Ogishu Libing look up to the sky and sigh: "I really don't understand, why did the Chinese army, which was about to collapse at the touch of a button, become so tenacious?" ”

So the entire southern front battlefield of the Battle of Xuzhou was carried out like a snail, and even stuck, and only by biting the Japanese army on the southern front did there be a great victory in Taierzhuang on the northern front in the future, which is a later story, not to mention for the time being.

The 51st Army on the side saw it in its eyes and remembered it in its heart, and suddenly opened its mind, yes, you have to fight devils like this, so there is a successful example of using the bull as bait last time to lure the devils out of Mingguang City and recover Mingguang City in one fell swoop.

But now it's not good, I used to be able to afford to play sports warfare, that is, the devils didn't have heavy troops, and now the devils are coming over in large numbers, and they have to fight a defensive war.

After all, the regular army is no better than the guerrillas, and it has the duty to defend the territory, and although it is said that it is necessary to learn the lessons of the blood of Songhu and Nanjing, and not to focus on one city and one pond, it still has to defend strategic places.

Otherwise, everyone will not defend it, and strategic places will be lost one after another, so what will you do to fight with the devil when the time comes? The land of fish and rice is lost, everyone is fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains, what to eat?

Since we have a certain amount of strength at hand, we must defend it in the face of strategically important land, property, and land, and this is not only out of the needs of the war, but also out of the confidence of the whole country and the whole nation in the war of resistance.

If a large number of ground is lost quickly, it will also be fatal to the confidence of the entire nation in the war of resistance. Once the hearts and minds of the people are lost, no matter how good the weapons are, they are useless, such as the international assistance of the United States in the future, and now the assistance of the Soviet Union.

Therefore, the 51st Army fought a sports war for a while, and after a period of good life, now it has to start living a tight life, and it has to defend the Huai River to the death.

The 51st Army guarded the river bank from Linhuai Pass to Xiaobengbu, which was dozens of kilometers long, which belonged to the main road section.

The Huai River, located between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, has extremely important strategic value since ancient times, there is a Huai River, there is no Huai River, guarding the river first guarding the Huai, it can be seen that the Huai River plays an important role in the Yangtze River.

Therefore, the Huai River, for the southern front of the entire Xuzhou Battle, is too important, in ancient times, many major battles that determined the victory or defeat of the Central Plains were fought in the Huai River Valley, Chu and Han hegemony, the battle of Weishui and so on.

Once the defense line of the Huai River is lost, Suzhou south of Xuzhou will have no danger to defend, and the Japanese army can drive straight into the south gate of Xuzhou, Huaibei and Suining, and Xuzhou can go down on the same day.

Now China and Japan are like playing Go, using China as a chessboard, and Japan wants to connect the two great dragons of North China and Central China, and China wants to prevent them from being connected.

And the last point connected together is Xuzhou, so China set up the Fifth War Zone, and the Governor's Department of the Fifth War Zone is in Xuzhou, the meaning is very clear, Xuzhou cannot be lost until the last step.

For the south of Xuzhou, the Huai River is a vital natural defense line, so the 51st Army can no longer play sports warfare as before, but instead play defensive warfare.

This defensive battle is facing Japanese aircraft and artillery, it is miserable, everyone knows that it is miserable, but the military order is like a mountain, no matter how miserable it is, it must be on.

Now that the second round of the devil's forced ferry has started again, there is no time to think about the tragic things, and the day that can be fought is counted as a day.

The country is broken like this, the soldiers have to bear the main responsibility, if they don't die in battle, who will die?

Although the 51st Army was fighting a defensive battle, it still kept one hand and hid all its main forces in the mountains on the north bank of the Huai River, leaving only a small number of troops in the front positions along the river to guard or do the first line of defense.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket, especially if you don't put them near danger.

However, the 673 regiment on the front line of Xiaobengbu does not have this good fate, so let's fight.

They can only dig deep holes, they have hollowed out this section of the defense line on the north bank of the Huai River, reaching seven or eight meters deep underground, fortunately it is the dry period of the Huai River, and the groundwater in it can be led to the Huai River.

Only in this way can they avoid the heavy artillery bombardment of the devils, so when the bare position on the ground was blown to pieces, the soldiers hiding underground were still safe and sound.
