Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Battle Tide Suddenly Changes

The strong wind blew through the hills, and in the camp of the national army near the Qingshan Mountains, the officers and soldiers of the 23rd Regiment were resting, and the wounded who were being treated were in the scattered tents. This time the rectification is probably the last replenishment in wartime, and the last batch of supplementary soldiers in the hands of the 85th Army has also been replenished, including a group of strong men who have not been trained at all.

The 23rd Regiment accepted more than 200 people, Chen Chunyi naturally gave priority to Zhang Wei's independent company, this friendly army did not help him along the way, Chen Chunyi in the telegram to the division headquarters, Zhang Wei's achievements were basically answered truthfully.

Zhang Wei naturally accepted the recruits, and the shortage of damaged troops was replenished, and now Qiu Wei, the platoon commanders, led by people, are training according to Zhang Wei's plan. After so many additions, Zhang Wei basically does not have to do the training himself, and mainly plays a supervisory role.

After receiving Chen Chunyi's telegram, Chen Daqing, commander of the 4th Division, also attached great importance to it, and he did not dare to polish Zhang Wei's record, as far as he could see. Zhang Wei is a very promising kid.

And now he belongs to Du Yuming's 200 division system, what is the concept? Although the young Zhuang army is only a company commander now, it will definitely do a lot in a few years because of the appreciation of their deputy mayor Qiu Qingquan. Wasn't Chief Tang just an unknown Lushi graduate?

For this friendly army, the generals of the Tang Army maintained a relatively humble attitude, after all, the backers behind Zhang Wei were Qiu Qingquan and the 200th Division, a new Shaozhuang faction cutting-edge army.

In this way, Zhang Wei's battle report was transferred to the corps headquarters of the 20th Army Corps layer by layer.

In the 20th Army Corps Headquarters, Tang Enbo was reviewing the battle telegram and the general situation of the battle, Tang Enbo was very proud in the past few days, the 52nd Army cooperated with the Northwest Army on the front line of Taierzhuang, successfully blocked the attack of the Seya detachment, and launched a large-scale counterattack, his own troops launched a counterattack, repelled the Japanese army, he was naturally very happy, the fly in the ointment is that the 52nd Army is not his own descendant troops (the 85th Army can also play this result).

"Well, good fight." Tang Enbo loosened his bones, and the corners of his mouth began to smile, and the chief of staff, Wan Jianfan, watched from the side, this was the happiest day for the corps commander these days.

"Commander, this time in the direction of Taierzhuang, the 52nd Army fought quite well, blocked the devils, and the 85th Army also contributed a lot, without them to contain the Japanese army in Zaozhuang Yi County, the 52nd Army would not have been so smooth."

Tang Enbo smiled knowingly: "Yes, if you fight well, you should kill him for a dog day, Wang Zhonglian can be regarded as enduring the humiliation this time, and he has restrained the devil, and he can't be despised after the war, and the hard work is high." "Townenburg already had a plan in mind to divide the credit after the war.

The three armies of the 20th Army, the 13th Army, the 85th Army, and the 52nd Army are not their own troops, and sooner or later they will have to be transferred. The 13th Army is its own descendant troops, originally subordinate to the 89th Division and the 4th Division, two elite divisions, but before the war, the Commander's Department sent a foreigner Bao Gang to be the commander, how can his own descendant troops be handed over to others, Tang Enbo transferred these two main divisions to the 85th Army very much, and the army commander is still Wang Zhonglian.

As for the 13th Army, there is only one 110th Division that is complicated and newly reorganized from the local armed forces, and a relatively elite cavalry regiment directly under it.

The 110th Division, this battle, he does not plan to overuse, after all, it is a new unit, the combat effectiveness is very poor, and a few days ago it suffered a lot of casualties, Tang Enbo plans to reorganize this division after the war, and is ready to make it his third infantry division.

"We must not slack off on meritorious generals and meritorious officers and soldiers." Tang Enbo said in a loud voice, Wan Jianfan did not answer, took out a telegram, and handed it to Tang Enbo.

"Commander, look at Chen Daqing's telegram, it's very interesting."

"Oh?" Towneburgh took the telegram, and his face became very interesting.

"Zhang Wei? Isn't it the company commander of the 200th Division, take the city gate and kill the cavalry, according to Wang Zhonglian's character, he is not a braggart. ”

"What about this telegram, Commander?"

Tang Enbo put down the telegram, and his face became serious: "What should I do?" According to the report, the war report after the war should be recorded, and a copy should be forwarded to Du Yuming in Hunan first, not to mention the interests and backers of human favors, my surname Tang can fight with a company commander, there are one is one, and two is two! ”

"Yes!"

After talking about trivial matters, Towneburgh once again turned his attention back to the current situation of the war, and he was going to plan a larger counteroffensive.

The soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, and at this moment, a major change occurred in the direction of Linyi.

Outside the city of Linyi, there were corpses of the 59 officers and soldiers of the National Army, and in the long bloody battle, they dragged down the Sakamoto detachment at a huge cost of casualties. And their opponents began to adjust their plans, and just yesterday, the commander of the Japanese Second Army, Nishio Zotoshi, thought that there was no need for the Sakamoto detachment to be entangled in Linyi, and ordered the main force of the Sakamoto detachment to attack Taierzhuang to rescue the Seya detachment, and at the same time form an encirclement of the flank of the Tang army.

After receiving the order, Sakamoto Shun immediately adjusted his deployment, leaving two brigades to contain the Chinese defenders in Linyi, while he himself personally led the main force of six brigades to the direction of Taierzhuang and rushed straight over.

Zhang Wei stayed in the camp, and at this time, the camp was filled with an atmosphere of victory, and the soldiers were talking about the war.

"I heard that the 52nd Army surrounded the Japanese in Taierzhuang."

"It seems to be playing well over there."

"Cut, you big-headed soldier knows a fart, I've seen enough, we didn't start playing well that time, and then it was over, saving your life is the most important thing."

"That's right, Nankou's kung fu, we also resisted the devil fiercely, but in the end, when the 14th Army that said that reinforcements came, we couldn't move anymore, and it was better not to retreat."

Zhang Wei knew that the news of the 52nd Army's local counterattack in the Taierzhuang area had indeed boosted morale, especially since the 85th Army had been enduring humiliation and being pressed and beaten, and the officers and men had a fire.

Even Qiu Wei and Hao Zhong happily ran to Zhang Wei to report the good news, Zhang Wei came from later generations, in his memory, Taierzhuang's victory was not so simple, you know, another unit of the Japanese army broke in from the direction of Linyi, and even forced Tang Enbo to change the time of the total attack, and finally although it was a great victory, but the process was quite tortuous.

"Company commander, we are going to win the battle" Hao Zhong said happily, although Qiu Wei on the other side thought more and thought that he should be careful, but he also felt that the overall situation was now decided.

"It's better to be cautious in the war, judging from the current situation, we have a great chance of winning, but we must be foolproof and prepared." Qiu Wei said.

Zhang Wei didn't want to pour cold water, let alone expose too many thoughts, but replied tepidly: "Qiu Wei is right, it's too early to make all preparations, and fight your own battle." ”

The Japanese army in the direction of Linyi, according to his memory, was the main force of the Sakamoto detachment, with six infantry brigades as the main force, almost straight into Tang Enbo's flank, and it was too early to rejoice.

Of course, this also means that there is another big battle to be fought.
