Chapter 111: Boiling Harder
7.111 is boiling more and more
Huang Haoran knows that Taierzhuang is the key to this battle. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info As long as the Chinese army in the 5th theater can firmly hold Taierzhuang in their hands, they can stick Ryosuke Isoya and Seishiro Itagaki in the northern section of Jinpu Road! So even if Taierzhuang was blown into ruins by the Japanese aircraft artillery, it also has unique strategic value!
A fight like tonight is indeed very cruel, and if it continues to be consumed at this rate, the garrison in Taierzhuang will soon be completely lost. But the casualties in the war are always relative, and since the Chinese army has suffered heavy casualties, Huang Haoran believes that the Isogu Division will not be better!
At this time, if Chi Fengcheng is allowed to withdraw from Taierzhuang, Huang Haoran will have to find troops to fill the vacancy left by the 31st Division, otherwise the bloody battles of the soldiers in the 5th Theater will fall short!
The 27th Division, the 44th Independent Brigade and the 30th Division under the 43rd Army were respectively tasked with containing the Isogu Division on the two flanks of Taierzhuang, and their current situation was not easy.
The 27th Division was deployed by Sun Lianzhong, commander of the 2nd Group Army, in the area of Huanglinzhuang east of Taierzhuang, while the 30th Division and the 44th Independent Brigade were deployed by Sun Lianzhong in the area of Dunzhuang Gate and Wanli Gate west of Taierzhuang. Tonight, these units took action to cooperate with the 31st Division in Taierzhuang to carry out a night attack. The counterattacks carried out by the 27th Division and the 44th Independent Brigade towards Liujiahu and Sanlizhuang involved a considerable number of troops in the Isogu Division. If Huang Haoran now transfers the 27th Division to replace the 31st Division, the Japanese troops blocked by the 27th Division will inevitably take advantage of the situation to move south and join up with the Japanese wing besieging Taierzhuang. In this way, Taierzhuang will face more pressure!
demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, Huang Haoran categorically would not use it!
If the 27th Division is not transferred, then reserves will have to be used. At present, Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the 2nd Army, only has one 110th Division left in his hands. If Huang Haoran handed over the task of reinforcing Taierzhuang to Sun Lianzhong, even if Sun Lianzhong had no opinion, the local generals in Xuzhou who "saw uneven roads" would definitely give Huang Haoran a "black hat" of "using the War of Resistance to eliminate miscellaneous cards".
Therefore, Huang Haoran could only draw one from the 25th Group Army and put it into Taierzhuang!
Moreover, now that the battle of Taierzhuang is at a critical juncture, Huang Haoran is unwilling to let the key to victory or defeat be in the hands of others!
However, because the 25th Army is the main force that Huang Haoran intends to use to encircle and annihilate the Isogu Division! Therefore, in order to ensure that the 25th Group Army can have enough strength to launch a general attack on the Japanese army at the last moment, the 25th Group Army should not invest too many troops in Taierzhuang this time! This also means that it is very unrealistic to rely on the 25th Army to independently support the Taierzhuang defense line, for the sake of the overall situation, the 31st Division of Chifengcheng cannot withdraw from Taierzhuang even if the casualties are large.
Huang Haoran said to Chi Fengcheng in a serious tone on the phone:
"Fengtai! I know you're playing hard! But I can't agree with the retreat of your 31st Division! To fight is to die! The one who led the troops as a general had to hold up at this time... No retreat! No retreat! That's an order! If Taierzhuang is lost, I can only send you to the Judge Advocate General!"
Chi Fengcheng on the other end of the phone kept begging bitterly, he still hoped that Huang Haoran could change his mind.
"Bench! This Zhuangzi really can't be defended, so please let the 31st Division live, right? I am willing to take on this responsibility!"
Huang Haoran was worried that if Chifengcheng's erroneous thoughts could not be completely dispelled, the 31st Division would inevitably have reservations in the battle, causing the Battle of Taierzhuang to fall into erosion. So he said in a deep voice on the phone:
"The survival of Taierzhuang is very important, if we give up at this time, our 5th war zone will be abandoned! In this way, I am not only sorry for the officers and soldiers who died for the country, but also sorry for the country and the people! I guarantee that before dawn, a regiment of the 25th Group will enter the battle in Shonai, and it will still be under your unified command! You just shine my family, and I, Huang Haoran, will never complain!! Fengtai! You remember! The orders of the front commander and the headquarters of the theater commander must be carried out! Taierzhuang must be defended! Whoever dares to give up Taierzhuang lightly will not be spared!!"
Hearing what Huang Haoran said so decisively, Chi Fengcheng could only dispel the last trace of luck in his heart! It is completely impossible for the 31st Division to retreat from Taierzhuang! In order to defend Taierzhuang, Huang Haoran, the deputy commander of the theater, actually sent his elite troops to Zhuangzi to fill the hole! I think it's deep!
Huang Haoran is using his actions to tell Sun Lianzhong, Chi Fengcheng and all the miscellaneous generals in the 5th theater that this time he Huang Haoran is determined to fight with the Japanese army in Taierzhuang! Even the elite of the Central Army, the 25th Army, has been filled in, what can the miscellaneous army of the 5th theater do? I can only fill it with the troops' without hesitation!
Huang Haoran used the lives of the officers and men of the 25th Group Army and the national righteousness to "kidnap" all the miscellaneous armies in the entire 5th theater! Coupled with the sharp sword that the Military Commission hung over the heads of the miscellaneous army, Chi Fengcheng knew that he and his subordinates had no way out.....
The generals of the government like to use the words "love soldiers like sons" in their evaluation of Huang Haoran, who would have thought that once the war started, Huang Haoran would become so ruthless! Chi Fengcheng felt that four more words should be added to Huang Haoran's comment----- "using soldiers like mud".
"For generals, battlefield battles, when the overall situation is the most important, when the judgment is broken, love soldiers like sons, use soldiers like mud, I am not as good as Huang Haoran too much! No wonder everyone says that Huang Haoran is the first general in Whampoa, and he deserves it! ”
Chi Fengcheng held the microphone and sighed, when he lost all the excuses and reasons for timidity, Chi Fengcheng could only become strong!
Later generations said that Chi Feng Cheng's bloody battle in Taierzhuang made Sun Lianzhong, but if Sun Lianzhong had not stopped Chi Feng City's request to retreat several times, would the 31st Division and Chi Feng City still go down in history because of Taierzhuang's victory? Sun Lianzhong was lucky to meet Chi Feng City, and Chi Feng Cheng was not lucky to meet Sun Lianzhong?
What Huang Haoran is doing now is what should have been done by Sun Lianzhong.
"Yes! Sub-seat! The 31st Division resolutely carries out your orders! The soldiers in the village will live and die together in Taierzhuang! Please rest assured! Please rest assured, Mr. Li! ”
When Chi Fengcheng said these words into the microphone, there was no wavering or hesitation in his emotions, and Huang Haoran on the other end of the phone heard Chi Fengcheng's determination!
Obviously, Huang Haoran and Chief Li are not the only people who are concerned about the situation in Taierzhuang, and the highest authorities in Wuhan have always been very concerned about the situation in Taierzhuang.
After ending the call with Chi Fengcheng, Huang Haoran received a call from Lin Wei, who was supervising the battle in Xuzhou, to convey the "edict" of the highest authority:
"Taierzhuang barrier Xu Hai, the second phase of the battle is huge, so the 2nd Group Army is fully guarded, that is, there is a soldier and a pawn, and it must also work hard in the spirit of sacrifice, if it is lost, it will not be severely punished by all the officers and soldiers of the army, that is, Chief Li, Deputy Chief Bai, and Deputy Chief Huang will also be punished."
Because of the good relationship between him and Lin Wei in Lushan, all Lin Wei said a few "private words" to Huang Haoran after finishing the official tone on the phone, and told Huang Haoran a lot of the latest trends in the government. In the end, Lin Wei also reminded Huang Haoran not to get too close to Chief Li and others, saying that someone had already given Huang Haoran eye medicine in front of the commission!
After hanging up the phone, Huang Haoran couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, didn't the highest authorities promise Chief Li never to meddle in the affairs of the 5th War Zone? The old man's words really don't count......
Huang Haoran conveyed the "edict" of the supreme authority to all the ministries and ordered Sun Lianzhong to immediately command the 2nd Army to launch a flank attack on the Isoya Division to relieve the pressure on the Shonai Chifeng Castle Headquarters.
Sun Lianzhong immediately dispatched troops and personally issued an order:
"In order to preserve the past history of our army, even if we sacrificed to the last drop of blood, we also fought to the end. In order to supervise the operations of various units, the commander of the 42nd Army, Feng Anbang, was sent to the 27th Division on the right flank to supervise the battle, and the commander of the Tianzhennan Army was sent to the 30th Division and the 44th Independent Brigade on the left flank to supervise the battle. ”
After receiving Sun Lianzhong's order, the divisions and brigade commanders of the 2nd Group Army took action to support the 31st Division in Zhuangnai. Chi Fengcheng also issued an order to all the officers and men of the 31st Division:
"Taierzhuang is the glorious place of the officers and men of the whole division, and it is also the grave of the officers and soldiers of our department. Even if there is only one soldier left, you must hold your ground. From soldiers to division commanders, no one is allowed to push across the canal without authorization, and violators will be severely punished! ”
At the same time, at the mouth of the pontoon bridge on the south bank of the canal, the figure of the 2nd Army Supervision Team appeared!
After consulting with Fan Jie, Huang Haoran determined the way and the size of the troops to reinforce Taierzhuang, and the 25th Group Army sent a mixed force into Taierzhuang through the pontoon bridge on the canal, which included one battalion each of the 188th, 189th, and 121st divisions, as well as a machine gun company, a mortar company, and a company of engineers. Huang Haoran and Fan Jie wanted to use this mixed method to let the troops take turns to participate in the battle and exercise, and these divisions did not have the same powerful attack power as the 99th and 139th divisions, so they could only start with defensive warfare training.
The 31st Division, reinforced by the new force, launched several medium-sized counterattacks against the Japanese army, and after more than two hours of melee, the battle line in Taierzhuang basically returned to the situation before the 31st Division launched the night attack.
While the 31st Division was fighting with the Japanese army, the 27th Division located in the east of Taierzhuang began to attack the village held by the Japanese army, and the 1st Division of the 79th Brigade quickly captured Peizhuang, and then routed the Japanese army at Liu Qiao. The 159th Regiment of the 80th Brigade recovered the villages of the fork in the road, Zaozhuang, Yangjiamiao, and Zhanglou one after another, and the 160th Regiment conquered Shaozhuang and surrounded the two Japanese squads at Liujiahu. The besieged Japanese army resisted desperately, and the battle at Liujiahu was very fierce.
The 27th Division, which had not been able to attack for a long time, sent a report to Sun Lianzhong, hoping that the artillery could suppress the Japanese troops in Liujiahu, and Sun Lianzhong immediately agreed to the request of the 27th Division, but because there were no artillery observers to guide them in the front, most of the shells fired by the 2nd Army did not hit the target, and the damage to the Japanese positions in Liujiahu was extremely limited. Half an hour later, the reinforcements of the Isogu Division arrived at Liujiahu, and the Japanese infantry and cavalry of 5 or 600 people launched a fierce attack on the 160th Regiment of the 27th Division of the Japanese army surrounding Liujiahu under the cover of 7 chariots.
