When the 200th division on the land of Huxiang was urgently preparing for battle, the situation on the battlefield in eastern Henan had taken a sharp turn for the worse, and after the personnel carrier of the 106th division was raided in the early morning of the 17th, the squadron was shocked to find that the Japanese army that crossed the river to attack was not only a division, but also its subordinate special units were extremely powerful, and at this time, the squadron that was completely transported in the eastern Henan region was only four divisions, including the 106th division that had suffered heavy losses before the war. Ｘ

The cannon rumbled, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Yifeng, a small village. This place, which was occupied by the bloodless soldiers of the 59th Wing of the Japanese Army, had become a Shura field filled with gunpowder at this time. Groups of Chinese soldiers in light green military uniforms rushed towards Yifeng Village in waves and retreated in waves.

"Ready!" Zhao Daqiang, the major of the 524th Regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, gave the order with tears in his eyes, and the special agent platoon of more than 40 people pointed their guns at the retreat of more than 100 defeated soldiers, and the Czech light machine gunners closed their eyes in pain.

"Put!" At Zhao Da's order, more than 20 Zhongzheng rifles and three Czech-style light machine guns spat flames at their comrades at the same time, and more than 20 people at the front of the rout team were swept down by their own firepower in an instant, and the rout behind them could only stop, turn around, and desperately and helplessly recoiled towards the Japanese position.

"Brethren. Died in the hands of the Overseer, not even missing, died in the hands of Little Japan can still have a pension, all turned around and fought with the little devil! A platoon commander waved his shell gun and lunged backwards like crazy.

The Japanese army launched a surprise attack, how could it sit idly by, Song Xilian, the commander of the 71st Army, ordered the 262nd Brigade, which was the most complete in hand, to stop the task of garrisoning Lanfeng when the follow-up troops had not yet been fully transported, and gave only one order to the 262nd Brigade, to take Yifeng Village!

The corpses of the fallen Chinese soldiers were everywhere on the way of the rout's counter-charge, and the rout soldiers stepped over the corpses of the brothers and rushed towards the Japanese troops in Yifengzhai, and the rifles in the hands of the veterans and junior officers in the ranks opened fire from time to time.

The terrain of Yifeng Village is slightly higher, which provides an excellent firing position for the Japanese army, the stockade is the main force of the Japanese 59th Wing, the rifle platoon gun shooting of the Japanese army in the first-line position is quite accurate, four 92 heavy machine guns gurgle and spit out a rain of bullets, with crooked light machine guns and grenadiers, frantically harvesting the lives of Chinese soldiers, plus the fire support of the 75 mm wing guns in the stockade, this group of more than 100 people has not approached within 100 meters of the Japanese army's first-line trenches. It's all together.

The main force of the Japanese wing in Yifeng Village, compared with the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division besieging Yifeng, the difference in strength is not huge, in this case, the 262nd Brigade has no advantage, but Song Xilian's death order to attack Yifeng is there. The 262 Brigade can only launch an attack again and again, and most of the troops are newly replenished soldiers after the defense of Nanjing, and the training and rectification have not yet ended, so they will fight this kind of desperate battle, and the Japanese army is a surprise attack, facing the main force of most of the wing, and they have mountain artillery and infantry artillery grenadiers. The 262 Brigade only has four mountain guns reinforced by the army, and there are only a few domestically produced 82 mortars, and the light and heavy machine guns have not yet been completed.

The troops were reorganized by the remnants of Nanjing's retreat, and the recruits were not skilled in combat skills, and it was not long before they learned to shoot, and they had just thrown down their hoes and shovels. How to fight? Must fight! Fight to your heart's content!

"Fire!" The commander of the 524th Regiment, who was not far from the charging site, reluctantly and sadly, ordered the 82 mortars to open fire, and soon, the 82 mortar shells fired in succession flew to the Japanese positions, causing slight losses to the Japanese troops of the 59th Wing.

"Tuanza, Tuanza, we can't fight like this anymore. You can't fight like this, if you continue to fight, it'll be all over, you tell me to bring someone up, I don't want to get all the blood of my own brothers. Zhao Da, attached to the major regiment, carried a smoking shell gun and cried, kneeling in front of the regiment commander and yelling.

"Take down the seal! Taking down the Yifeng is a death order, the 526 regiment is already disabled, and the little devil is also a human! When all the people are dead, I will attack with you! Now, go back and give me a warlord, a warlord! Two cloudy tears also flowed from the regiment's eyes

"Commander, I beg you, I can't do it!" Zhao Da began to kowtow.

"Fuck off, fuck off! The first battalion is disabled, now it is called the second battalion, and then take a part from the rest of the first battalion, and continue to attack for me, the three battalions are all disabled, Lao Tzu took the men from the regiment headquarters and the special agents to platoon the heavy company together, get out! "The regiment commander understands very well that the army gave a death order to the division, and the division gave a death order to the brigade, and when he comes to himself, he still has a death order!

Several troops have not yet been transported, and they must be fought at this time, so that the little devils have some scruples, and more troops must buy time!

After this batch of routs was over, the 524th Regiment reorganized the second and third battalions to launch an attack, the fourth company finished the fifth company, and the second battalion finished the third battalion, Zhao Da didn't know how many routs he had blocked and killed many of his own brothers. Mortars and mountain artillery in the brigade continued to bombard, light and heavy machine guns were fired, fought for more than two hours, finally, the 524th Regiment tore a hole in the Japanese defense line, took the first line of defense of the Japanese army, a broken blue sky and white Japanese flag finally fluttered in the first line of Japanese defense, and most of the Japanese troops guarding the first line of defense were also wiped out by the 524th Regiment!

However, it is only the outermost line of defense.

Hunan, the early morning of the 200th Division, the division commander Du Yuming looked at his officers, his face was serious, the officers below had seven or eight points in their hearts about this meeting before coming, and what was placed in front of them was an order from above, the content was very simple, Yudong ate into the Japanese army to attack, which also included heavy artillery and combat vehicle armored vehicle troops, and the 200th Division was an elite unit, and at the same time an armored unit, so it was natural to send troops to participate in the war. The selected troops were finalized by the three soul figures of division commander Du Yuming, chief of staff Liao Yaoxiang, and deputy mayor Qiu Qingquan long before the meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has seen that the war in eastern Henan is tight, and the Japanese Tufei Yuan Division crossed the Yellow River and attacked in the direction of the Longhai line, threatening our Xuzhou defenders and the lifeline of the communication line, which also includes a large number of special forces units, including tank troops and heavy artillery wings. We are the only armored forces in the country, and this time it is imperative to participate in the war, there is nothing to say. Du Yuming said categorically.

Gao Jiren, the commander of the 1152 Regiment, looked pale: "Division, there are many recruits in our troops, isn't it a bit abrupt to pull it up like this?" ”

"The order has come down, it can only be executed, besides, if you don't fight, you will always be recruits, afraid of losses, afraid of casualties, what else to fight, and now the troops that are going to open to eastern Henan are all recruits, and even the new troops reorganized by the security regiment have been pulled up."

After listening to Qiu Qingquan's words, Gao Jiren no longer raised doubts, except for him, the other regiment commanders did not say anything, the battle defense artillery regiment, the chariot regiment, only listened to the dispatch, and then discussed the transportation of materials and troops, Liao Yaoxiang finally read out the list of troops sent to eastern Henan to participate in the war.

"The division is ready to draw troops to participate in the war, including a battalion of the 52nd Artillery Regiment (37 combat defense guns and 12 guns), and originally planned to transfer a battalion of the 1150th Tank Regiment stationed in Wuchang for training to participate in the battle, but the regiment's personnel training is insufficient, and the road is long. After discussing with the division, it was replaced by the second battalion of the 1149th Tank Regiment (21 T26 tanks and 15 CV35 tanks), plus a platoon of the armored search battalion directly under the division (four German armored vehicles), a motorcycle search team (equipped with three-wheeled motorcycles), a platoon of the division's engineer battalion and a platoon of anti-aircraft machine guns, and all the divisional preparation battalions. ”

"The above troops, the divisional units issued a notice by the division headquarters, the subordinate troops of each regiment are organized and prepared by the regiment commanders after returning, all the troops are combined into the first column of the assault army, and the column leader is served by Deputy Division Commander Qiu, and the above troops must be assembled on the 19th, that is, early tomorrow morning, after the assembly is completed in the Changsha Station and Yijiawan area, and then transported north by train to eastern Henan to participate in the war." r
