The 24th was the first day of the Japanese attack on Taierzhuang. The devil's attack is particularly crazy. Repeatedly launched onslaught on Taierzhuang, and also attacked the village many times. The defending 2nd Army stubbornly resisted and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese army

When he returned, he left behind Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the General Staff, Lin Wei, vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Liu Fei, director of the First Department of the Military Command Department, and Wang Hongzhao, senior staff officer, to form a staff group to assist Li Zongren in commanding the operation in Xuzhou.

In the evening, the Xuzhou General Headquarters. Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi took the telegram and handed it to Li Zongren and said: "The 186th Regiment at the north gate of Taierzhuang has suffered heavy losses. Now a Japanese army of more than 200 people has occupied the Taishan Temple in the city. ”

"What!?" Li Zongren took the telegram and read it carefully, and then ordered: "Order the 186th Regiment to wipe out these more than 200 devils overnight, and then change the defense in Beicheng and rearrange the defense line." Let's not forget how Taiyuan was lost, because a small Japanese army occupied the school grounds in the city, which led to the collapse of the entire front. ”

"I'm going to call back."

After Xu Zuyi walked away, the surrounding officers did not dare to comment on today's battle situation. Li Zongren's nerves have been tense since the morning, and if he doesn't say it well, he will only touch his brow. Today, the only thing that made Li Zongren happy was the attack on the Japanese artillery positions.

Bai Chongxi patted Li Zongren on the side and said, "Brother Delin, don't be so nervous, the battle has just begun."

Li Zongren kept looking at the garrison map of Taierzhuang and said, "Taierzhuang must be held for more than three days. Looking at today's battle situation, the three days are not very optimistic. ”

Li Zongren knew in his heart that the Second Army must hold on to and consume the Seya Brigade so that it could bring over all the strength of the 10th Division. Otherwise, your whole plan will fall through. What Li Zongren didn't expect was that the Seya Brigade was much stronger than he imagined.

At this time, Xu Zuyi walked away with another telegram, with a happy face, and said, "Shao Fei has called."

Li Zongren's heart was shocked, and he said, "Tell me quickly, there is any good news."

Xu Zuyi smiled: "It seems that you know him better than me, as long as he calls, it must be good news."

Bai Chongxi said, "Don't sell it, say it quickly."

Xu Zuyi looked at the telegram and said: "In the afternoon, our troops cut off the communication line from Yixian to Taierzhuang, annihilated more than 300 enemies, and captured all the materials transported from Yixian to the Segu Qi Brigade. We lost 12 men and wounded 24. ”

Li Zongren praised: "Well done."

Bai Chongxi was expressionless, and asked, "Is there a suspicion of falsely reporting the results of the battle?"

Xu Zuyi also had a telegram, saying: "This is a message from someone I planted in their team, and it is completely true."

Bai Chongxi was shocked from time to time, there were such powerful people in the world, even the black tiger might not have the ability of them. However, the Black Tiger is a unit that performs special tasks, and it is not suitable for the battlefield. At this time, Bai Chongxi thought further than everyone present, because Shao Fei was not in the same camp as himself.

Chen Haotian didn't say a word on the side, just smiled without laughing.

Li Zongren found Chen Haotian and asked, "Brother Chen, what are you laughing at?"

Chen Haotian replied: "Shao Fei is not such a useless person, he will only invite credit, I think Chief of Staff Xu did not finish the telegram."

Xu Zuyi was curious that Chen Haotian knew Shao Fei so well, or that his ability was not comparable to Shao Fei. If it was true, Chen Haotian would be of great use, so he asked, "Indeed, then guess what he wrote later?"

Chen Haotian replied: "Killing devils is not the goal, cutting off the supply line of the Japanese army is what Shao Fei wants." In the past three days, he will call the transportation line from Yixian to Taierzhuang completely paralyzed. But there is another one in the west, Zaozhuang to Taierzhuang, the distance is 70 kilometers twice that of Yi County, but the lines do not overlap. Shao Fei lacked the skills to divide his troops, so he must ask the headquarters to send troops to cut that line. ”

Xu Zuyi smiled: "You are only half right. Shao Fei promised that not a single grain from Yixian County would be transported to the front line, and also hoped that we would send troops to cut off the Jinpu line. Even this was not enough, and he wanted us to send out the air force to blow up the existing supplies of the Seya Kai Brigade. ”

Bai Chongxi felt ridiculous and said, "Where is the black light going to blow up?"

Xu Zuyi said: "Shao Fei's special combat team will do ground guidance, tell the air force the approximate direction and distance, and then sneak into the central area where the enemy's logistics materials are located to create fire."

"Although there is a certain danger in bombing at night, I think it is feasible. Call back Shao Fei and ask him to formulate a specific combat plan and send it back to the headquarters immediately. ”

Li Zongren immediately agreed to Shao Fei's plan of ground guidance and air-ground combat. Although risky, once successful will be a fatal blow to the Seya Brigade. Not only is Taierzhuang secured, but the Japanese army will inevitably ask for reinforcements. In this way, the 10th Division of the Japanese Army will also move south, and its first stage plan will also be successfully completed.

The Seya Brigade is stationed in the west, in a remote place. The special combat team was sitting on the ground resting, waiting for a reply from Xuzhou.

Zhu Zi walked up to Shao Fei and said, "The Xuzhou headquarters has called and agreed with our plan. Now the question is, how do we boot. ”

Shao Fei sat on the ground, put his hands on his knees, lowered his head and smiled: "If the plane has a navigation system, I will just send a coordinate and it will be done, is it so troublesome to use."

The pillar smiled: "Captain, you are talking nonsense again." It's okay in front of us, and it's good to say less in front of the Sichuan army. ”

"I know, give me the map."

The pillars were spread on the ground with maps and lit with old-fashioned flashlights. Shao Fei drew two triangles at hand, tested the angles with an angle meter, and then calculated the distance.

After finishing the matter, Shao Fei looked at the time and said to the pillar: "Call back, the action time is set at 12 o'clock in the evening." The flight route is based on Xuzhou from west to east, 23 degrees to the north, and the flight distance is 85 kilometers. According to the ground fire scissors, the flight range is twenty kilometers. The fire on the ground is where enemy logistics are located. ”

"Is that all?"

"No, I don't even know if I can make it. I don't know anything about the performance of those planes. ”

It was now nine o'clock in the evening, and Shao Fei ordered the special combat team to rest in place for two hours and start their action at eleven o'clock.

In the vicinity of Shigou Village, the special combat team members gathered a large amount of firewood and made it into the shape of a sheared head, then poured kerosene on it, and left one special combat team member to stay behind and set it on fire when the time came.

Shao Fei led other special combat personnel to disguise themselves as devils, infiltrated the location of the bombing target, and waited for the arrival of the plane.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the strength of the national air force was not very strong, and there were only three types of bombers: Heinkel He111 Northrop 2EC light bomber B10b medium bomber (2000 km ultra-long-range).

The Wuhan airfield received an order earlier to make a sortie of six: two Heinkel He111s, four Northrop 2EC light bombers.

At 12 o'clock, the plane departed on time. Arrive at the designated position at around 12:10 and fly low in search of firelight.

After discovery, according to the instructions of the shear heads, six aircraft flew in a southeasterly direction.

Soon, the roaring motors of the planes sounded over the Japanese camp. Although it attracted the attention of the devils, they didn't think so. In the hearts of these devil soldiers, flying in the sky is always their own plane.

"Boom Boom"

Twelve loud noises sounded in the area where the devil's logistics materials were located, and in an instant, twelve flames illuminated the surroundings.

Immediately after that, the plane whizzed by, and the bomb was dropped without hesitation.

The entire logistics station roared incessantly, and the flames soared into the sky. Only then did the devil soldier come to his senses and wake up from his dream.

"Firefighting! Fire! ”

Regardless of life and death, Hasegawa rushed to the fire command to rescue supplies.

"Boom Boom"

The air raids continued unabated, and the bombs on the bombers were dropped, and the six planes flew away.

In the dark hideaway, Shao Fei ordered, "Give him a bullet."

Xiucai raised and grabbed, "Bang! A bullet flew out and hit Hasegawa's head.

"Withdraw!"

After Shao Fei finished ordering, Twelve turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
