Yang Ling and the others got a short rest, but the entire Lanfeng battlefield was in full swing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main force of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army has been fully shrunk in the line of Sanyi Village and Luowang Village, and with the loss of Maogu Village, the living space of the Japanese army has been further compressed, and it is about to be wiped out.

"Be sure to destroy the enemy of the besieged Sanyi Village within one day!"

In view of the fact that the Japanese troops from all directions were rushing towards the Lanfeng area, the Supreme Military Council in Wuhan sternly demanded that the commander, General Xue Yue, intensify the attack and be sure to completely annihilate the Japanese invaders in a short time.

General Xue Yue, who was in charge of commanding the encirclement and annihilation operation, also understood that if the remnants of the Japanese 14th Division could not be eliminated in a short period of time, then the Japanese reinforcements would arrive, and they would be the ones who were surrounded.

"Order all armies to attack with all their might at all costs, be sure to end the battle before dark, and withdraw from the battlefield!"

General Xue Yue also transferred the pressure to the commanders of the subordinate armies and gave the order to die.

The 64th Army, the 71st Army, the 74th Army and other besieging troops of the Central Army did not hesitate at all, and immediately launched a fierce attack on all sides, and all kinds of weapons were transferred to the front line, and the battle was dark for a while.

The 14th Division of the Japanese Army also knew that they could only fight to the death now, otherwise it would be the end of destruction, whether it was for honor or survival, they had to go all out.

The officers of the Japanese army at all levels also went crazy, and in the face of the onslaught of the Chinese army, they held their positions to the last man, often one position, and the two sides repeatedly fought for several times.

Corpses were piled up in the trenches, blood stained the ground red, broken guns everywhere, and both sides fought repeatedly on the corpses, and neither of them would admit defeat.

Ji Hongru, the commander of the 302nd Regiment, led the team to personally assault and take seven positions of the Japanese army in a row by blasting and rushing, until it reached 300 meters outside Sanyi Village.

Here they encountered the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army, all kinds of weapons fired at them desperately, and the Japanese tanks rampaged with machine guns, pouring ammunition frantically at them.

The Japanese cavalry took the opportunity to counterattack, and the exhausted Chinese soldiers fought with the Japanese cavalry, and finally were forced to withdraw due to physical exhaustion.

"Attack again! Don't stop! Don't worry about casualties! ”

When division commander Wang Yaowu came to the front line, he stood within the coverage of Japanese artillery and personally raised his gun to supervise the battle.

News has already come from the blocking forces on the periphery, and the nearest Japanese 16th Division and two brigades of the 2nd Army have already pounced, and if they can't fight again, they will have no chance in the future.

Seeing that the division commander Wang Yaowu came to the front line to supervise the battle, Ji Hongru, the regiment commander who had just withdrawn, gritted his teeth, reassembled the troops with heavy casualties, formed a brave team, and cooperated with the 305th Regiment to launch a strong attack again.

Under the successive attacks of the Chinese soldiers, they successfully tore open the gap in the Japanese defense line and once entered the Sanyi Village, but they were swept out by the opponent's chariots, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle.

The intensity of firepower in the entire Sanyizhai battlefield has exceeded imagination, and in this small battlefield, the two sides fought hard and shed blood.

Yang Ling's 301st Regiment was exhausted from continuous battles, so they stayed behind to rest, but when they heard the incessant exchange of fire in front of them, they could sit still.

The regiment commander Zhang Handuo asked for battle several times to go up, but he was suppressed by the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao, because the troops that were now put into the battlefield were fighting fiercely, and there was such a reserve left in his hand, ready to keep it for the last use.

Seeing a large number of wounded people being carried down, and groups of brothers rushing to the battlefield, Yang Ling and the others were anxious, but there was no way.

Kenji Tohi, the commander of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, who was still fighting in the beast, did not expect that the Chinese army was so determined to destroy him, and now he could not sit still.

Casualties among his brigades and wings had risen dramatically, and many of his troops had been killed, in a situation he had never encountered before.

Although he kept asking for help from friendly forces, the friendly forces were desperately blocked by the Chinese blocking forces and could not be relied on, and he no longer had the confidence to hold out until the friendly forces came.

"Pass on our military order, the 50th Wing and the 18th Wing, with tanks and armored vehicles as the lead, take the initiative to attack in the direction of Yangguji and cover the main force to break through!" In the end, the commander of the Tufei Yuan Division decided to save himself and break through in a bloody battle.

The 14th Division can be regarded as a mechanized division, and the entire division not only has more than 500 tanks and armored vehicles, but also a large number of cavalry units.

"Sir, sir! The devils are coming, and they are all tanks, and the brothers can't stop them! ”

The Japanese mechanized units had strong firepower, and the wheels and chains rolled up the dust and rampage, so that the Chinese troops, which lacked anti-tank weapons, were suddenly swept away.

Gui Yongqing's 27th Army, which was responsible for defending this direction, had previously abandoned the Lan Blockade, causing the Japanese army to almost break through and run away, and was severely reprimanded by the chairman of the committee.

This time, seeing that the Japanese army chose his direction to break through again, he ordered while scolding his mother: "Hurry up and move to the Hongmiao area to avoid the Japanese front-"

The 27th Army withdrew again without authorization under Gui Yongqing's orders, and the troops were in disarray, with countless supplies and weapons discarded along the way.

When the news reached General Xue Yue's headquarters, General Xue Yue, who was good-tempered, couldn't help but be furious, if Gui Yongqing was in front of him, he would definitely shoot him directly!

"Chief Xue, Dangshan has been broken by the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, and Commander Huang Jie sent a telegram saying that the 8th Army could not be stopped and had moved north."

The so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, just as General Xue Yue was thinking about how to quickly plug the gap released by the 27th Army, the words of the communications staff officer made his heart sink to the bottom, and Huang Jie's blocking troops also ran away without authorization, how can this battle be fought?

The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, and the wolf-like Japanese 16th Division was breaking through the defense line of the Chinese blocking troops and swooping in the direction of Sanyi Village.

The flank of the Yudong Corps, which was unable to attack the Japanese 14th Division, was threatened, and if they continued to fight, they were in danger of being surrounded.

"Send a telegram to the Wuhan Military Commission, the battlefield situation has been extremely unfavorable to me, request to end the fighting, and the troops quickly leave the battlefield." General Xue Yue, who was unwilling, commanded in a low voice.

"Chief Xue, this is to let the tiger return to the mountain, let's hold on for one more day, and we will be able to destroy the 14th Division!" The chief of staff said unwillingly.

"Even if the 14th Division is annihilated, then the 100,000 soldiers of my Yudong Corps will be finished...... Withdraw. ”

Yang Ling and the others rested on the spot to act as a reserve, and they were originally going to go up and slaughter the devil, but they waited for the order to retreat.

"What are you withdrawing, we haven't lost the battle." When the order to retreat arrived, the brethren who were very enthusiastic about fighting were full of doubts.

"Gui Yongqing, that bastard, ran away again, and still fart, waiting to be made dumplings by devils!? Pack up your things for Lao Tzu and evacuate quickly! Brigade Commander Zhou Zhidao also rarely scolded recklessly.

The brothers who had retired from the front line were covered in blood, and they were unwilling to look back at the battlefield with thick smoke billowing out, and they turned back to withdraw from the battlefield step by step.

I have to say that General Xue Yue's decision was wise and decisive, when the retreat order was issued only a few hours later, the three elite divisions of the Japanese army had already pressed up on the whole line.
