8.14 Red Temple

The devil soldiers under Morita Fan Zheng Dazuo fired seven or eight flares in a row, and the commander of the Tuhihara Division barely saw what was happening outside Lanfeng City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Chinese army, which was desperate to frantically attack the city wall, retreated into the distance at this moment, and began to build fortifications with even more frantic vigor, and had the posture of hollowing out all the loess in the eastern Henan Plain.

Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano and Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.

"It's wishful thinking that the Chinese army wants to trap our mechanized army with such a primitive line of defense!"

"If these are the so-called 'new plans' of the Chinese army, then I really have to wonder if those idiots from the special high-tech department of the front army will be mistaken in the information, maybe Huang Haoran didn't come to Kaifeng at all!"

Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara was full of arrogance, and Chief of Staff Tadashi Sano was also just right, and Morita Fan Zhengdasa, who was next to him, saw that his two superiors were so happy, and he also came up to join in the fun:

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, do you need to make a surprise attack and teach the people of China a lesson?"

Although Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara looked down on this kind of thin trench defense line, he must not watch the Chinese army besiege the city of Lanfeng, and the reason why he did not immediately order the 15th Infantry Wing of Morita Fan Zhengdazuo to attack was mainly because the 15th Wing had been fighting for many days and needed time to rest.

However, since Captain Morita Fan Zhenglian himself asked for a battle, it is not impossible to let the troops in the city attack. If you keep blindly shrinking in the Lanfeng City and being beaten, it will affect the morale of the troops.

"You can send a brigade, you just need to find a few weak points in the Chinese's defensive line, so that they can't connect the trenches in a line......"

Morita Fan Masashi Daisa saluted Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara and then retreated. A few minutes later, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara and Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano, who thought they had seen through the Chinese army's intentions, also walked down the city wall one after another.

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

Because the officers and soldiers had the experience of fighting with Huang Haoran in Nanjing, Song Xilian's 71st Army immediately set off after receiving Huang Haoran's order and rushed to the Red Temple in the shortest possible time. From the Red Temple to Liuyuankou, it is only less than half an hour's journey.

It can be said that the 71st Army has now been inserted near the heart of Tufeiyuan!

In order to obtain supplies from the north bank of the Yellow River by water, the Tufeiyuan Division had to keep the two strongholds of Chenliukou and Liuyuankou on the south bank.

At present, Hu Zongnan's army is storming Chen Liukou, and it is already difficult for the Tufeiyuan division to get supplies from Chenliukou, if Song Xilian cuts off this supply line at Liuyuankou, the Tufeiyuan division will return to the situation of cutting off foreign aid a few days ago!

Therefore, for such an important "lifeline" Tufeiyuan Division, the Tufeiyuan Division did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and if the 71st Army wanted to see Liuyuankou, it had to first defeat the two brigades of the 59th Infantry Wing opposite them!

According to the scout's report, the devils of the 59th Wing have built relatively complete fortifications and are equipped with at least one squadron of combat vehicles, and it is by no means easy to defeat such a powerful enemy in a short time.

"Throne! Let's fight! Put the chariot troops at the front, and then select an elite infantry to follow behind, and beat the devil's defense line one point at a time! I don't believe the devil can stand it! ”

The person who spoke was Jiang Fusheng, the commander of the 36th Division, and in the previous battle, his 36th Division had been defeated, so this was simply a battle of annihilation on the front line of the 1st theater. The officers and men of the 36th Division, which had been scattered by the Japanese army, soon returned to their respective units, and the current 36th Division did not suffer any major losses in personnel and equipment except for low morale.

The other two divisions under the 71st Army were the 87th and 88th Divisions. The three division-level units under Song Xilian are all well-known "German Armament Divisions", which makes many generals in the Central Army envious, but in fact, Song Xilian knows that he is suffering.

At this time, the "German Mechanic Division" was no longer the "German Mechanic Division" during the Songhu Battle! After the end of the defense of Nanjing, the three most precious "German Armament Divisions" of the highest authorities were all seriously injured, the 88th Division and the 36th Division were more than half of the casualties, and the 87th Division led by Shen Fazao was almost completely wiped out!

The current "German Mechanic Division" is a "German Mechanic Division" mixed with water, and there are less than 8,000 veterans left who have been carefully trained by the German Advisory Group, and in addition, the highest authorities have drawn many veterans from the 71st Army in order to form the 200 Division, and the actual combat effectiveness of these three "German Armament Divisions" has long been much worse than before.

Moreover, Long Muhan, the commander of the 88th Division, and Jiang Fusheng, the commander of the 36th Division, were also defeated under Tufeiyuan, so it can be said that the current 71st Army is really a mourning army!

The decline in strength can easily affect self-confidence, and the poor performance of the 71st Army in the Battle of Lanfeng even made Song Xilian feel that Huang Haoran's trust in him was a little inappropriate.

It's too much of a burden! Song Xilian was worried that his 71st Army would not be able to provoke!

If the 71st Army can successfully conquer Liuyuankou, it will naturally be a great thing! Not only can the troops restore their confidence, but the entire battle situation of the Lanfeng Battle can also usher in a new turn. On the contrary, if the 71st Army ushers in another defeat at Liuyuankou, I am afraid that the Military Commission will take the opportunity to divide the 71st Army, and even if it can retain its structure, successive defeats will make the combat effectiveness of the 71st Army drop to the bottom!

As the formulator of the attack plan, Huang Haoran prepared a lot for Song Xilian's troops and made very targeted arrangements in many key links.

The first was to hand over the chariot unit led by Qiu Qingquan to Song Xilian to restrain the chariot of the 59th Wing. Being able to use the chariot troops to deal with the Japanese chariots is really something that Song Xilian didn't even dare to think about before! His 71st Army will definitely not suffer in front of Japanese tanks this time!

Huang Haoran also told Song Xilian in the telegram that if he thought that he would deal with the strong fortifications of the Japanese army, he would just find Xu Zilong, the head of his guard regiment!

Song Xilian was skeptical of what Huang Haoran said, although he knew that Huang Haoran's guard regiment was extremely effective and the firearms used were also very sophisticated, but they were not equipped with any heavy weapons. Song Xilian felt that Huang Haoran's guard regiment was more suitable for mobile warfare, and it was more effective to deal with the fortifications of small Japan, or to have a regiment of artillery!

There is no way, Song Xilian can only hope that this Xu regiment leader sent by Huang Haoran can really have some unique means!

"Commander Xu, now that we have rushed to the front of the Japanese army's position, you should also show your true skills, right?

Xu Zilong smiled and said, "Commander Song, please rest assured, I will take care of the fortifications of Little Japan for your 71st Army!" It's just going to cost some explosives!
