Chapter 267: Willow Ditch

"Hurry up and drop! Speed up! ”

In the afternoon, although the sun is still there, there is only a remnant of the sun left, which is about to set in the western mountains, and the light and heat he brings are naturally reduced, and the whirring cold wind blows on people's bodies, making people can't help but feel a spirit.

In the midst of this cold wind, a troop of little devils is marching rapidly.

This unit was the 8th Infantry Brigade under the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which was attacking Tengxian, and was marching towards the Taierzhuang area under the leadership of the brigade commander Se Wuping.

The 10th Division was one of the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese army before the outbreak of World War II.

This division is also one of the most notorious, because he often violated international conventions and laws in wars and used poison gas bombs without authorization, especially when Ryosuke Isoya was the commander of the division, he killed countless Chinese compatriots, and the people hated him to the core.

And now, although Chen Qingzhi has eliminated his command and killed their division commander Isoya Ryosuke, the 10th Division has not stood still, and he is now directly under the direct jurisdiction of the Japanese North China Front Headquarters, and will continue to attack Taierzhuang non-stop according to the orders of the headquarters.

It is worth mentioning that the 10th Division has two brigades, in addition to the 8th Infantry Brigade that is heading towards Taierzhuang, there is also the 33rd Infantry Brigade led by Kei Seya.

Originally, it was supposed to be the 33rd Brigade of Seya Kai who attacked Taierzhuang, but when the 33rd Brigade attacked Tengxian before, it suffered heavy losses and was almost beaten into an empty shelf, and it had no spare strength to undertake the main attack task of Taierzhuang.

As a last resort, the North China Command of the Japanese Army could only transfer the 8th Brigade that was still in Jining to serve as the main attack mission of Taierzhuang, so that the 33rd Brigade of Seya Kai could cooperate.

The 10th Division adopts the most common troop establishment of the Japanese Army's A division, that is, the 22 system, that is to say, a division has two brigades under its jurisdiction, and each brigade has two field infantry wings, and the entire division has a total of four infantry wings.

The entire 10th Division has more than 23,000 permanent corps, and its combat effectiveness is very fierce!

Although the headquarters of the unit was terminated, and there was no division commander to command it temporarily, it did not have much impact on the 10th Division, which did not suffer great losses, except for some lag in command, his combat effectiveness still existed, and it was more than enough to cooperate with the 5th Division to go south to encircle Taierzhuang!

At least in the North China Front Command, the little devil should think of it as it should be!

At this time, the Eighth Brigade, which served as the main attacker, under the leadership of the brigade commander Se Wuping, was rushing to the Taierzhuang area, but because the main force needed to carry logistical baggage, the speed of the march was relatively slow.

There was only one brigade in the vanguard, and they traveled lightly and simply, and they marched all the way directly to the barrier on the east side of Taierzhuang, Zaozhuang!

At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the vanguard of the Japanese army had already crossed over and arrived near Zaozhuang. And the Chinese troops stationed in Zaozhuang have been detected.

"Your Excellency, the Scouts have come to report that they have found a gun tower of the Chinese Army five miles away from our left front, shall we go over and pull it out?"

In the ranks of the Japanese army, the leader of the little devil squadron said respectfully to a Japanese soldier with a mustache next to him.

Hearing this, this Zhongzuo held the command knife in his hand, and said lightly: "Found a turret of the Chinese army? Roar! Now that you've found out, what are you waiting for, of course you're going to get rid of it! ”

"The brigade commander sent our brigade as the vanguard to take the lead in Zaozhuang, as the vanguard of the main task is to clear all obstacles along the way and prepare for the arrival of the large army, since a gun tower of the Zhina Army has been found here, what are you waiting for? Kill it, of course! Lest the brigade commander be upset when he arrives! ”

"Hey! Subordinates understood! ”

Hearing the captain's words, the squadron leader immediately bowed down and said respectfully.

"Ryxi, in that case, let's hurry up and go over! Strive to destroy it as soon as possible, so that we still have time for the warriors of the Empire to rest well for the night and prepare for tomorrow's battle! ”

The captain said in a flat tone.

From his words, there was not the slightest sense of urgency that a great battle was coming, and when he said that he was going to give the order to pull out a turret, there was not the slightest expression on his face, as if pulling out a turret was like killing an annoying fly, so that he could not arouse the slightest interest.

And when the captain heard this, he didn't have the slightest abnormality, but said with a flat face: "Hey! Please rest assured, the captain will never delay the meal! ”

It's like you're used to it!

I have to say, these little devils are really rampant!

In fact, in the eyes of the little devils, the so-called bunker turrets on the Chinese side are simply not worth mentioning, there is basically no heavy firepower, even if there are not a few machine guns, even if they occupy a turret, they don't even have suppressive firepower, how can they be called turrets?

He believed that as long as one of his brigades pressed up, he would be able to end the battle without even ten minutes!

At that time, not only can the soldiers under him rest well, but also have a full meal in the United States.

The captain thought so in his heart, and then waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Leave immediately!" ”

The captain gave an order, and all the little devils quickly stood up, and then quickly assembled, and soon they were assembled, and under the leadership of the officer, they went in the direction of the turret.

Liushugou is located about five miles to the left of Zaozhuang, although he knows that it is a ditch, but it is actually a small village.

The village is not very large, there are only about two or three hundred households in it, about a thousand people, although there are not many people, but the people are hard-working, but they can barely support themselves.

Even so, they are already very satisfied!

In such a troubled world, it is already very difficult to survive, and it is a luxury to be able to eat well, they live here, although life is a little more difficult, but to be able to live, and to be able to eat, compared to the war, military disasters, and banditry outside, it can be regarded as a paradise!

However, such a paradise is a group of uninvited guests at this time!

Strictly speaking, a bunch of wicked people!
