6.36 Smaller and smaller encirclements

Tianshengqiao, Wu Jianping is a division commander anyway, so he temporarily took on the burden of command, in fact, Wu Jianping knew that it was impossible for the 36th Division and the two brigades of the teaching corps to listen to his transfer, and he Wu Jianping was at best just a microphone between the two brigade commanders Huang Haoran, so he just had to play this role well.

Song Xilian's 36th Division launched several fierce attacks on the Japanese army as soon as it came up, and the troops of the 114th Division headed for Tiansheng Bridge were either tired divisions that had been fighting for a long time under the Lishui City Wall or were serious engineers, so their combat effectiveness was relatively low, and the battle of Tiansheng Bridge and the battle besieging the headquarters of the 114th Division had many similarities.

The only ones who caused some trouble for the Nanjing garrison were the two infantry brigades of the 66th Wing, but the numerical advantage of the Nanjing garrison was too great, so it was only a matter of time before the devil's defense line was broken through.

Huang Haoran equipped Song Xilian's 36th Division with two battalions of artillery, which was used when Song Xilian attacked the fortifications.

The area controlled by the Tianshengqiao Detachment of the 114th Division was very narrow, and the losses of the Japanese army were very heavy when encountering such artillery fire, but because the Tianshengqiao Detachment of the 114th Division had two regular infantry brigades as the backbone, the Nanjing Garrison was never able to make relatively large progress.

Teaching the commander of the second brigade Hu Qiru felt that his face was a little unbearable, and when he robbed and killed the 115th Wing, he taught the second brigade to play an assist, so that the second brigade was taught to preserve its strength to deal with the follow-up devil reinforcements, at that time, Hu Qiru also scolded Huang Haoran for being partial, and only knew that he blindly let the troops of the 99th Army grab the credit, in Hu Qiru's eyes, the troops like the 121st Division and the teaching corps were not at the same level at all, and the 121st Division was not inferior to the teaching corps at all in Tianshengqiao, Later, when cleaning the battlefield, the 121st Division made a big splash, and the officers and soldiers of the 99th dealt with the little devil's black hand, and they couldn't help but make the teaching corps feel admired, but Hu Qiru was still not convinced, and since then he has been holding back his strength to raise the prestige of the teaching corps in front of the reinforcements of the 114th Division.

Now he has been fighting around the devils for almost an hour with nearly 10 times the force, and he has not even been able to tear open the defensive circle of the Japanese army! Hu Qiru really felt blushing!

Could it be that not long after joining the 99th Army, a miscellaneous division is even more powerful than the teaching corps? Did Huang Haoran give the officers and soldiers of the 121st Division any panacea? Can it be reborn?

Hu Qiru couldn't help but start thinking about the top of the slope!

Shame is ashamed, the most important thing is to quickly take down the Japanese army in front of him, Song Xilian is already crazy, if the teaching corps loses to the 36th Division again, Hu Qiru really doesn't know how to explain to the new captain Qiu Qingquan!

"Chief of Staff Liao! Gotta hurry up like a solution! The latest order from the Nanjing City Defense Command just sent by Division Commander Wu of the 121st Division only gives us three hours! When the time comes, even if the situation is favorable, retreat! It seems that the army of devils is not far from us! The command is in a hurry! ”

A young lieutenant colonel about 30 years old stood out from a large group of busy officers, he spoke with some Hunan accent, and he should have some ability to serve as the chief of staff of the Second Brigade of the Teaching Corps at such a young age!

"Travel! Although there are few of these devils, they can form a relatively complete ring fortification under our attack, and there should be a more powerful commander in charge! The headquarters has given us three hours now, and if we continue with such a full-scale onslaught, we are afraid that we will end up with regrets! ”

The young lieutenant colonel's reply obviously did not satisfy Hu Qiru, and he pointed his finger directly at the "Chief of Staff Liao" and said loudly:

"Liao Yaoxiang! I know what you're talking about! Now that you understand that what we lack most now is time, you, the champion of the Saint-Cyr Military Academy, give me some profit! Give me a rut! ”

This young lieutenant colonel is actually Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the New 6th Army, one of the "five main forces" in the future! But in 1937, it was just a star of hope with excellent character and learning!

Liao Yaoxiang, Han Chinese. Alias Jianchu. He was born in Brewxi Town, Beixiang, Shaoyang, Hunan Province (now the county seat of Xinshao County). In 1921, he entered Changsha Private Yueyun Middle School to study. In 1925, he went to the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Hunan Army Ye Kaixin Department as a cadet. In July 1926, he was admitted to the sixth phase of Whampoa School and graduated in 1928. In 1930, he went to France to study mechanized cavalry at public expense with the rank of sergeant, and in 1936, he graduated from the Saint-Cyr Military Academy with the first place and returned to China.

Hu Qiru just said that the "champion of the Saint-Cyr Military Academy" is Liao Yaoxiang's experience of studying mechanized cavalry at the Saint-Cyr Military Academy in France, Hu Qiru has always attached great importance to Liao Yaoxiang, a high-achieving student who studied in France, and it is also because of Hu Qiru's importance that Liao Yaoxiang has been promoted to today's position as the commander of the cavalry company of the teaching corps.

It can be said that Hu Qiru has the grace of knowing Liao Yaoxiang, but Liao Yaoxiang is a little arrogant, and he always wants to prove in front of others that he did not become the chief of staff of the Second Brigade because of interpersonal relationships, so he always seems a little distant from Hu Qiru in the brigade headquarters.

One is a brigade commander and the other is a chief of staff, so it's okay not to talk all the time? Fortunately, Liao Yaoxiang is like a different person when he fights, and he no longer has his stinky problems.

"Travel! It's a pity that our chariot battalion was taken away by Captain Qiu, otherwise this kind of small scene would have been pushed flat on the front line! Call the little devils all into meat puree! .... Don't worry, brigade, I have a way without a chariot battalion! ”

As soon as Liao Yaoxiang opened his mouth, he went around his major, this Liao Yaoxiang liked his mechanized cavalry major at any time!

If there is heavy equipment such as a chariot in hand, Hu Qiru is still worried, seeing that Hu Qiru's expression is getting more and more ugly, Liao Yaoxiang quickly turned the conversation back!

"Actually, it's the same old thing! Concentrate your firepower to beat a point in the devil's defensive circle! Then send a death squad to rush in, even if it doesn't work once, come back a few times, I don't believe that the devils are all King Kong indestructible! When we meet in close combat, it will be hard consumption and consume the devil to death! It is the commander of the death squad who chooses carefully, after all, it is impossible for artillery shells to occupy positions, and the death squad is the key! ”

"Hmmm! Chief of Staff Liao said politely! I also think it's a big deal! So be it! I propose to let Chief of Staff Liao lead the death squad to fight this first battle! Guys don't make sense, right!? ”

Hu Qiru startled Liao Yaoxiang by opening his mouth, why did he suddenly become the best candidate for the commander of the death squad? The surrounding officers were also stunned for a moment, but they quickly came back to their senses and expressed their support for Hu Qiru's decision!

Of course, Liao Yaoxiang will not be just a scholar who talks on paper, isn't he just leading the death squad to the front line? No problem!

Liao Yaoxiang chose the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment under the command of Li Xikai, the proportion of recruits in this battalion is relatively low, and since it is a death squad, it cannot rely on those recruits who have only been trained for a few months.

When Liao Yaoxiang was about to get up and go to the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, Hu Qiru beckoned to Liao Yaoxiang, Liao Yaoxiang walked over quickly, and Hu Qiru whispered to Liao Yaoxiang:

"Don't you always want to make a good fight to prove yourself? Now's your chance! It's up to you! ”

Liao Yaoxiang smiled and said to Hu Qiru: "Don't worry! Travel! ”

***************************************************

Hu Qiru contacted Song Xilian and concentrated the artillery of the Teaching Corps and the 36th Division to bombard, and the artillery commander was ordered to use up all the shells!

The shelling lasted for more than 20 minutes, and when the artillery fire began to extend, Liao Yaoxiang rushed out with the 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment from the attack starting point, almost at the same time as Liao Yaoxiang, and a group of men and horses were also killed on the position of the 121st Division, which was Zheng Tao and his 662nd Regiment!

Liao Yaoxiang clearly remembered that he asked Hu Qiru to inform the 121st Division that they would launch a strong attack here, why did the 121st Division still plug in a lever?

Liao Yaoxiang's troops quickly mixed with Zheng Tao's 662 regiment, and now the Japanese army is still dizzy, and if they don't use this precious time to rush in, it will be bad for the devil to slow down for a while!

"Which part of the 121st Division are you? Where are your chiefs? ”

Liao Yaoxiang grabbed a lieutenant officer in the shock unit of the 121st Division, and he asked loudly:

The lieutenant was not afraid of Liao Yaoxiang, the commander who carried the rank of lieutenant colonel, he supported the steel helmet with his hand, and then pointed to Zheng Tao, who was commanding the troops to fight in the distance, and then dropped a sentence, "We are from the 121st Division of the 99th Army!" Then he ran to the front to participate in the charge, and when he said the words "99th Army", the lieutenant officer's face showed an arrogance!

Just knowing the 99 Army Cow, I didn't expect that an ordinary junior officer of the 99 Army would be so good! Liao Yaoxiang is like seeing the teaching corps that used to show off its might in front of other units of the Central Army, and today, the teaching corps is considered to have lost to the 99th Army!

Of course, Liao Yaoxiang felt very unconvinced, he asked the commander of the 1st Battalion to rush forward with the troops, saying that he would rush to the front of the 121st Division! He Liao Yaoxiang just wants to fight for this breath!

Seeing that his death squad rushed forward without hesitation, Liao Yaoxiang beckoned the guards and staff officers around him to meet the commander of the 121st Division.

To Liao Yaoxiang's great surprise, Zheng Tao was actually using the radio to direct his troops to attack, Zheng Tao, the regiment commander, was swearing a lot when he gave orders with a microphone, and Liao Yaoxiang heard Zheng Tao scolding from afar:

"You turtle son! Tell Lao Tzu less about the conditions? Why doesn't the 3rd battalion have so much nonsense from you!? The casualties are too great!? Even if you die, you have to rush up for Lao Tzu! If you can't, you'll get back to me! Lao Tzu will be on for you! Don't forget! We are the 99th Army! It's fed with the flesh and blood of the little devils! If your 2nd battalion loses the face of the military seat, Chief of Staff Fan will definitely peel your skin when you turn around!! ......”

Until Liao Yaoxiang walked to Zheng Tao's side, Zheng Tao's radio station was not idle, Huang Haoran paid great attention to the communication ability of the 99th Army, so the 99th Army is the only unit in the Central Army that is equipped with a radio station at the battalion level, and now the commanders of the 99th Army are enjoying the dividends brought by Huang Haoran's investment.

Liao Yaoxiang was envious of the fact that the 99th Army had such a strong communication capability, and the teaching corps before the expansion was also able to equip the radio station to each battalion, but since the expansion, some regiments only have one radio, Liao Yaoxiang, a high-achieving student, naturally understands the importance of wartime communication support, but he can't fall in front of the 121st Division, so he didn't show anything on his face.

Zheng Tao's guards saw that Liao Yaoxiang came from the death squad of the teaching corps so that they did not embarrass Liao Yaoxiang and his subordinates, Zheng Tao knew the news that an officer of the teaching corps had come to visit during the interval of command, so he handed the microphone to his deputy regiment commander, walked to Liao Yaoxiang and stretched out his hand and introduced his position and rank by the way.

Liao Yaoxiang also said his position and military rank, and by the way, he stretched out his hand to let the two sides complete the meeting ceremony, and after being polite, Liao Yaoxiang asked directly to the point:

"Didn't your unit receive an order from your division commander? We taught the Second Brigade that they were carrying out a strong attack, aren't you stirring up the situation by doing this? Head Zheng, see for yourself! Your 121st Division invested more troops than we taught the 2nd Brigade? Even if you come to help, you don't have to take the lead, right? ”

Zheng Tao opened his mouth and showed his front teeth, and he replied to Liao Yaoxiang with a smile:

"Our division commander Wu asked us to stay still, but we, Fan Senzao, are worried that you will not be able to take down the devils on the opposite side of the teaching corps, isn't our Nanjing garrison short of time? So let's Fan Senza, let me take the 662 regiment to help you! ”

Liao Yaoxiang felt a little panicked, he knew that the Fan Senzao mentioned by Zheng Tao was Fan Jie, the chief of staff of the 99th Army, Fan Jie said that he was the chief of staff of the 99th Army, in fact, the senior officers of the Nanjing Garrison knew that Fan Jie was actually Huang Haoran's think tank, so a considerable part of the battle plan of the Nanjing Garrison was formulated by Fan Jie, Liao Yaoxiang is a lieutenant colonel chief of staff, and he really has no capital to worry about Fan Jie, the chief of staff of the major general!

So Liao Yaoxiang changed a more polite posture to negotiate with Zheng Tao, at least let the 121st Division give way, otherwise this battle would be over, and the attack planner of the Second Brigade would become a supporting role.

You have to determine the "name" first!

Fan Jie had already given Zheng Tao a preventive shot, if the teaching corps wanted to take credit, let it be given to them, as long as the 99th Army had results, this honor should not be done!

The 99th Army has fought all the way from Songhu to the present, and the credit book is at least half a foot thick, and it is not a good thing that the limelight is too strong, Huang Haoran clearly remembers what happened to Zhang Lingfu in Menglianggu, so he asked Fan Jie to tell the 99th Army that the departments should be more low-key!

Huang Haoran and Fan Jie have unified their thinking, but the middle and lower-level officers of the 99th Army are unwilling to do so! Especially the 121st Division, a new unit that joined the 99th Army, did not have their share in the old merits in Songhu, and the 99th Army was not like other central armies that could mess around, and the troops without combat merits were "second-class citizens" in the 99th Army, and even those who received the least of the supplies took the least, and now the 121st Division has finally seized such a good opportunity to "turn over", how can it be possible for him to slip away from hand?

Zheng Tao and division commander Wu Jianping hit it off! The 121st Division must do the teaching corps a favor! Isn't the death squad of the 2nd Brigade the size of a battalion? Our 121st Division will send a regiment! Let's talk about it after the fight!

So the 662nd Regiment rushed to the front of the 2nd Brigade like a hungry tiger descending the mountain!

"Head Zheng! Thank you for helping us teach the team to play assists! When the battle is over, I'll invite you to drink! ”

Liao Yaoxiang wanted a sentence to define the attack of the 662nd regiment, which Zheng Tao is the master who is easy to fool? Immediately heard Liao Yaoxiang's off-string sound, Zheng Tao immediately said without saltiness:

"Assists? When did our troops of the 99th Army play assists? Lao Tzu has always been the main attacker! Chief of Staff Liao, if you want to take credit, you should rely on your own means!! ”

Liao Yaoxiang saw that Zheng Tao had already issued an eviction order, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he said angrily to his subordinates behind him:

"Did you hear that? If you want to take credit, go find the devil yourself and get it! Thank you to the brothers of the 99th Army for giving us a reminder! Hear it all! Copy guy with me! ”

After speaking, Liao Yaoxiang led his subordinates to rush towards the line of fire like a gust of wind......

Zheng Tao looked at Liao Yaoxiang's back, and felt that this person was a man, and couldn't help but express his appreciation for Liao Yaoxiang:

"It is said that the teaching corps is a model unit in the Central Army, and it seems that it is indeed worthy of its name! This Chief of Staff Liao is good, when we encounter such an opponent, let's move quickly! Otherwise, you won't even be able to drink the soup! Brethren! Come up front with me, I'm going to kick the ass of the 2nd battalion commander! Look at the fuck and give Lao Tzu a slow time! ”

After speaking, Zheng Tao picked up a "flower machine gun" and jumped out, and the entire 662 regiment headquarters followed closely behind Zheng Tao......

Liao Yaoxiang and Zheng Tao held back their strength to compete, and the trapped 114th Division's Tianshengqiao Detachment fell into blood! The 662nd Regiment and Liao Yaoxiang's death squad went on a unreasonable rampage, and they were stunned to tear open a big gap of more than 200 meters wide in the devil's circular position, and behind the 662nd Regiment and Liao Yaoxiang's death squad, the large troops of the 121st Division and the 2nd Teaching Brigade poured into it like a tide, and finally, the "big ring" temporarily formed by the Japanese army at Tianshengqiao collapsed!

Under the strong squeeze of tens of thousands of troops of the Nanjing garrison, the Japanese defensive position was squeezed into a long strip, and the 662nd Regiment and Liao Yaoxiang's death squad divided this "belt" into three parts, and the commander of the Japanese Tianshengqiao detachment, Major General Akiyama Mitsuzaburo, the commander of the 127th Brigade, understood that if the Chinese army could not be squeezed out of the two nails of the Japanese position, then he and his subordinates would have to die without a place to bury!

So Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama took off his shirtless shoulders and led a brigade of the 66th Wing to the 662nd Regiment and Liao Yaoxiang's death squad to launch a decisive charge! Hundreds of devils and monsters screamed and pounced, and Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama also arranged for more than a dozen "human bullets" to be at the front of the queue!

Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama pinned his hopes on these "Yamato warriors" who did not want to die, and he hoped that these "human bullets" could shake the morale and confidence of the Chinese army, so that the Tianshengqiao detachment could still have a glimmer of life!

The call of the vanguard of the 6th Division had already been heard on the radio, and Major General Tokutaro Sakai, commander of the 11th Infantry Brigade, told Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama that as long as he could hold out for three hours, the 6th Division would be able to save the 114th Division from the sea of suffering!

Three hours! Damn three hours! For this last hope, Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama gritted his teeth and pressed out all his last chips, and he used the cost of losing one-third of his position to transfer this brigade of the 66th Wing, which was a fight to the death!

There was not much time left for the Nanjing garrison...... (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
