7.107 War-torn Taierzhuang

The officers and men of the small detachment who witnessed the whole process of Liu Yutian's heroic martyrdom were filled with grief and indignation, and they and the officers and men of the 183rd Regiment of the 31st Division were like crazy and frantically poured bullets at the Japanese position in Majiayao! Although most of the weapons except light and heavy machine guns could not reach the Japanese position, Luo Laoqi and they couldn't take care of that much! They just want to get rid of all the bullets in the chamber!

The operator reported everything that happened here in Majiayao to the headquarters of the 187th Division and the artillery regiment directly under the General Assembly, Shi Jincai was silent for a long time after reading the telegram, and the joy of successfully shelling the Japanese artillery wing gradually passed away from his heart. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In less than 30 minutes, the mountain artillery battalion fired more than 500 shells at Majiayao, damning the third brigade in the trenches and not daring to come out, and the 183rd Regiment of the 31st Division also took the opportunity to launch an attack, snatching back some of the remains of the officers and men of the 187th Division left in the minefield and sending them to the south of the canal for burial.

Overnight, the Seya detachment was attacked by the artillery fire of the Chinese army one after another, and suffered heavy losses, which made Major General Seya Kei turn into a monkey with his tail cut off, and he was furious in his detachment headquarters! After thinking about it again, Major General Seya Kai sent a telegram to the 10th Division Headquarters requesting operational guidance, and in the face of the strong performance of the Chinese army in Taierzhuang, Seya Kai knew that there was no way to attack Taierzhuang with the Seya detachment alone!

Ryosuke Isoya was furious when he got the telegram from Kei Seya! He didn't expect that the Seya detachment, which had just received reinforcements from the division and regiment not long ago, would actually have a shortage of troops again! Regarding the devastating blow of the 10th Field Artillery Wing and the death of Wing Commander Haruji Taniguchi Nakasa, Isoya felt completely unacceptable! After consulting the commander of the 2nd Army, Lieutenant General Nishio Toshizo, the appointment of Major General Seya Kei as the head of the detachment was officially revoked, and Ryosuke Isoya personally stepped into the forefront, taking the 8th Infantry Brigade and the 10th Cavalry Wing straight to Taierzhuang!

In the early morning of April 1, before Ryosuke Isoya reached the front line, Major General Kei Seya made a final effort for his own future! Although Major General Seya Kei has lost the title of head of the Seya detachment, as the brigade commander of the 33rd Infantry Brigade, commanding the 63rd Infantry Wing and the 10th Infantry Wing, which originally belonged to the 33rd Brigade, to launch a strong attack on Taierzhuang!

The only exception was the 1st Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, which refused the request for artillery support from the 33rd Brigade when Major General Kei Seya ceased to be the commander of the Seya Detachment. The 33rd Brigade could only use infantry guns and mortars as cover to attack Taierzhuang with the cooperation of the army aviation, and the Chinese defenders of Taierzhuang and the 33rd Brigade launched a fierce battle, and the 33rd Brigade repelled at the cost of more than 800 casualties.

In the afternoon, the main force of the 10th Division led by Ryosuke Isoya rushed to the Taierzhuang area, and the Japanese army launched the third onslaught on Taierzhuang, and the 1st Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery was also re-engaged.

Soon after the start of this round of attacks, the 10th Division broke through the northeast corner of the Taierzhuang city wall and rushed into Taierzhuang. It was immediately met with stubborn resistance from the defenders of Shonai. Fierce battles ensued between the two sides.

In less than three hours of fighting, the defenders of Shonai suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, and the northern wall was also destroyed by heavy artillery by the Japanese army. There was a stalemate for a while.

Because the 10th Division placed its main attack on the east and north gates guarded by the 30th and 31st Divisions, the 181st and 188th Regiments of Chifeng Castle and the defenders of the 30th Division suffered heavy losses. The 25th Regiment of the 188th Division of the 100th Army of the 701st Group Army did not have any large-scale battles with the Japanese army in the area of the West Gate, so it preserved a relatively complete structure.

At 17 o'clock in the afternoon, the 40th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army joined the battle group, and the besieging forces rushed into the city again. The 188th Regiment of the 31st Division, which was responsible for the garrison of Zhuangbei, was under great pressure, and Chi Fengcheng had to use the 183rd Regiment as a reserve in advance, which barely blocked the Japanese offensive!

On the same day, in order to support the offensive operations of the 20th Army Corps, the Chinese Air Force sent 14 bombers to bomb the Japanese positions on the front line of Hanzhuang, Lincheng and Zaozhuang after dawn, but Tang Enbo's 20th Army Corps did not start the offensive as planned. Tang Enbo's corps headquarters and the 85th Army were still in the Baoqinggu Mountains, and only the 52nd Army of the entire 20th Army Corps reached the predetermined starting position of the offensive - the line of Guoliji and Pigeon's Nest.

After nightfall, Huang Haoran was going to get through the division headquarters of Chifeng City, and he was ready to communicate with the youngest division of the Northwest Army.

"Fengtai! I'm going to congratulate you on making it through another day! The mechanized unit of the 10th Division has encountered hard stubble, and your 31st Division is fighting beautifully in Zhuangzi! ”

Huang Haoran made his tone look elated, he didn't want to let Chi Feng City, who had been fighting hard all day, suffer any more blows.

Chi Fengcheng on the other end of the phone should have let out a few wry laughs, no wonder, this was the first day, and the troops in Zhuangzi had lost more than 3,000! With such a fast rate of troop consumption, any commander who changes will also feel chilled!

"Deputy seat, has Commander Tang's 20th Army attacked?"

Chi Fengcheng held back for a long time, but still asked the question he was most worried about, Chi Fengcheng was not afraid of fighting a bad battle, nor was he afraid of fighting his old book. What he was afraid of was that the casualties of the officers and men of the 31st Division would not be rewarded in return!

In fact, before Huang Haoran's call came in, Chi Fengcheng's commander Sun Lianzhong and his military seat Tian Zhennan had called Chi Fengcheng one after another, and Chi Fengcheng already knew what Commander Tang Enbo Tang had done during the day today.

"Fengtai, I don't want to lie to you, Commander Tang's 20th Army is still in the process of being mobilized today, and there is no attack. Chief Li had already sent a telegram urging him to believe that the Tang Army would attack from behind the Japanese army in a few days! ”

"Not a day? What day will that be? Sub-seat! Today, in one day, our unit suffered more than 3,000 casualties! At this moment, the stretcher withdrawn to the south bank of the canal through the pontoon bridge is like a long dragon! Tomorrow the devils will definitely launch an even more fierce offensive! Let the 27th Division drive up! ”

Huang Haoran didn't lie on the phone, which already made Chi Fengcheng feel very comforted! Tang Enbo's virtue Chi Fengcheng knew very well, this Tang Commander dared to disobey even Chief Li's orders, how could he obediently listen to Huang Haoran's transfer? I hope Chief Li can suppress this Commander Tang! Otherwise, it would be too sad for the miscellaneous army to die so many people on the northern line of Jinpu Road!

Putting aside the villain Tang Enbo, the thing that Chi Fengcheng is most concerned about now is reinforcements, originally Chi Fengcheng felt that it was too much to put three division-level numbers in Zhuangzi, but now he felt that it was a little less!

The strength of the 188th and 181st regiments was reduced by more than half of the troops, and the troops of the 30th division were almost the same. Today, Chi Fengcheng has mobilized the reserve of the 183rd Regiment, and now the only force he can still draw is the 182nd Regiment that is responsible for the guard task on the south bank of the Taierzhuang Canal. But even if he uses this method of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive tomorrow daytime, and he now very much hopes that a new force can enter Taierzhuang.

"It's too early! Fengtai! The reason why your troops lost so quickly in Zhuangzi is because they are too dense! The space in Taierzhuang is limited, and the devils have aircraft and artillery to help, so you can only reduce the damage by using the tactics of maintaining a small number of troops to engage the enemy and most of them entering the fortifications to rest! Although this kind of refueling tactic is a bit rigid, it is suitable for the situation in Taierzhuang! Don't care about the partial loss, as long as you still have one person in Zhuangzi, the Japanese army will not occupy Taierzhuang! That's what I want! Fengtai, tell me how many of our troops are still in Zhuangzi now? ”

Huang Haoran can understand Chi Fengcheng's mood, but he can't agree to Chi Fengcheng's request, Taierzhuang is just a Zhuangzi, stuffing thousands of troops in it, and a shell can blow up a piece when it falls! The huge losses of the 31st Division during the day today are actually quite causally related to Chifeng City's dense defensive tactics! Now that the density of personnel in the village has finally decreased, if new troops are filled in, it will be tantamount to sending targets to the Japanese artillery?

"Except for the 187th Regiment of the 701st Division under the command, the total strength is less than three thousand!"

Chi Fengcheng's 31st Division is an establishment of two brigades and six regiments, although this method of formation looks similar to the 99th Division, the basic unit under Huang Haoran's command, but the strength inside is very different!

The 99th Division is composed of the "four-four system" from the regiment level downwards, and the strength of a regiment can reach more than 2,500 people. However, the 31st Division's units below the regimental level adopted the three-three system, and the strength of a regiment was less than 1,500, and although it was a large unit of six regiments, it had only a little more than 10,000 men. The strength is only equivalent to half of the 99th Division, and the combat effectiveness is less than 20% of the 99th Division!

"In other words, there are still nearly 5,000 troops in Zhuangzi? Too much! It's just too much! Fengtai, you must withdraw some of your troops before dawn! Also, you have to take advantage of the fact that the devil is not good at night fighting, since people have entered Zhuangzi, then you should welcome it well! If you beat the little devil down at night, his madness will be much less subdued tomorrow! During the day, the devil has planes and artillery to help, and we can't do anything about him, but this night must be our world! Otherwise, this battle will not be fought! ”

Chi Fengcheng did not agree with Huang Haoran's view that "there are too many troops in Zhuang", the gap between the combat effectiveness of the 2nd Army and the Japanese army is very large, and if the crowd tactics are not used to make up for it, this battle to defend Taierzhuang will be even more difficult! If these words were not said by Huang Haoran, the "victorious general" who fought against Japan, Chi Fengcheng would definitely think that the person who spoke was a madman! And now that such words came out of Huang Haoran's mouth, Chi Fengcheng had to weigh them carefully!

Huang Haoran's record in fighting against Japan is obvious, which shows that Huang Haoran must have a unique understanding of dealing with the Japanese. Otherwise, why did so many generals of the Wuhan government retreat one after another, while Huang Haoran won one after another? There must be a reason for this!

Chi Fengcheng carefully went through Huang Haoran's words in his mind, and finally, he figured out part of it!

Huang Haoran's tactics can be divided into two parts: one is to use refueling tactics and devils to consume time during the day; The second is to concentrate forces at night to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.

With a large number of fortifications and trenches in the village to rely on, it was not difficult for Chifeng Castle to hold back the Japanese during the day, and at most it would lose part of its position. Huang Haoran first explained that he wanted Chi Feng City not to care about the gains and losses of local positions, and then asked the 31st Division to organize a night counterattack, which was to tell Chi Feng City that there was no need to be afraid if the position was lost during the day, and it would be taken back at night!

Avoid the edge of the Japanese army and attack the opponent's shortcomings with your own strengths! This set of tactics of suffering losses during the day and begging for cheapness at night is really a good strategy to grind foreign workers with devils!

After Chi Fengcheng figured these things out, his mood was obviously much better, and he followed the ideas put forward by Huang Haoran on the phone and developed several new tactics, making the plan for a night counterattack plump.

After ending this call, Chi Fengcheng called the headquarters of the 701st Regiment in Xicheng District, and if he wanted to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army at night, he really needed the 701st Regiment to lend a hand!

The 701st Regiment, which basically did not fight any battles during the day, is still an infantry regiment of more than 2,000 people, accounting for almost half of the total strength of Shonai! Naturally, it is impossible for Chi Feng City not to use such a large force!

Yu Wenyuan, the commander of the 701st Regiment, readily agreed to Chi Fengcheng's request and sent two infantry battalions to assist in this night attack mission, and the protagonist tonight is naturally the 31st Division under the command of Chi Fengcheng!

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

Ma Renyi, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 701st Regiment, took over a section of the 181st Regiment of the 31st Division with his troops, and the 181st Regiment, which originally had more than 1,400 people, was sharply reduced to more than 600 after the daytime battle, and the total strength of the 1st Battalion was also around 600.

The Japanese army on the opposite side of the position guarded by the 1st Battalion relied on a small temple to form an advance position, and the order that the 1st Battalion received was to prevent the Japanese troops in the small temple from reinforcing the attacked Japanese position, of course, if the 1st Battalion could annihilate all the Japanese troops in the small temple, Chi Fengcheng would definitely not have any opinions.

"The king's cover! This temple is dedicated to our Chinese immortals! Actually protecting the little Toyo! Camp! Do you think this immortal will be a traitor? ”

The 2nd company commander Hong Zaofa's questions are always so tricky and weird, and Battalion Commander Ma believes that except for Hong Zaofa, no one will think of asking such a question at all! Or a god as a traitor? That's bullshit!

"I said Company Commander Hong, can't you think of something normal? For example, how to solve the little devils in the temple? Why don't you ask the immortals you scolded just now, and let them help you think of a way? ”

Battalion Commander Ma's words were clearly ridiculing Hong Zaofa, and Hong Zaofa, who was also at a loss, could still pick up the conversation in a serious manner:

"I asked! The gods also said that they were afraid of Xiao Toyo! Hide in the temple and don't dare to come out! These kings are covered! ”

"Asked for a hammer! You don't even believe in ghosts! ”

After Battalion Commander Ma expressed his contempt for Hong Zaofa, he sat on the ground and leaned against the wall of the fortifications and began to rest, anyway, the first task of the 1st Battalion was to prevent the devils from sending reinforcements, and it would not be a problem if they couldn't get rid of this small temple.

"Camp! The wind is blowing! It's a southeast wind! ”

Hong Zaofa didn't know which nerve was on the wrong line, and he actually pulled it from the fairy to the wind's head again.

"When the wind blows, the wind blows! Can you use it for a ball? It's not your family's gods blowing it out! I won't blow away the little devil on the other side......"

Battalion Commander Ma closed his eyes and kept his spirits, and there was a match in his mouth to talk to Hong Zaofa, which was supposed to relieve his boredom.

"Southeasterly... Borrowing the east wind... Kong Ming burned Chibi .... Camp! Why don't we just set it on fire? I see that the temple across the street has a lot of wood on the outside! Eighty percent of the total! ”

Ma Renyi first looked at the small temple opposite for a while, and then reached out to test the direction of the wind, and finally he grabbed Company Commander Hong's shoulders and shook them desperately, shouting loudly in his mouth: "Old Hong! Let's borrow the east wind as you say! Fireproof burning! ”

"The Three Kingdoms said that setting fire to people hurts the heavens and peace, Kong Ming just burned too many people, so he died early......"

Company Commander Hong suddenly came out with a sentence without a head, and the battalion commander at the top almost didn't get angry!!

"Put away the Three Kingdoms you overheard from the storyteller! I've never seen you pay for tea! Maybe people tell you that Mr. Storyteller is not necessarily lying to you! ”

Battalion Commander Ma can be regarded as exposing Hong Zaofa's shortcomings, in fact, these Sichuan army brothers were almost a virtue when they were in Chengdu.

The warlords in Sichuan withheld the military salaries that should have been given to the officers and soldiers to buy fields to support their little wives, and the officers within the Sichuan army also looted on a large scale, not to mention small soldiers, and even battalion and company commanders like Ma Renyi and Hong Zaofa did not have enough money!

Fortunately, they have a short gun pinned to their waists, and they can eat and play for nothing wherever they go, which is really a pleasure!

"Zhuge Wuhou, do you dare to talk nonsense? Yingza, don't you want to go back to Sichuan? ”

Lian Commander Hong said that he couldn't say Ma Renyi, so he could only bring Zhuge Kongming out to suppress Ma Renyi, and the people of Sichuan were proud of Kong Ming, because Kong Ming assisted Liu Bei as the emperor in Sichuan, established the Shu State, and reached his peak.

Until now, Sichuan has been called Bashu, and it is conceivable how high the status of the Three Kingdoms is in the hearts of Sichuan people!

"Yes! Don't say it! I have something to ask you! Did the storyteller you hear teach you how to set fires? If you know, just say it! ”

Hong Zaofa heard that Battalion Commander Ma really had something to ask him, and Company Commander Hong was very excited, he could be regarded as having found an opportunity to be in the limelight.

"Set fire, Kong Ming has let go of several in the Three Kingdoms! There are Bowangpo, Chibi, and burning vine armor soldiers! I think Kong Ming used nothing more than two things to set fire, one is fire oil, and the other is gunpowder! ”

In order to resist the tanks of Little Japan, the 5th Theater of Operations reserved a batch of kerosene in Taierzhuang to make incendiary bottles, and the 701st Regiment also had a share.

"Good! Let's go burn the vine armor soldiers! In his heart, the battalion commander Ma patted his thigh and was about to turn around to give the battle order, Hong Zaofa pouted his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Where did the rattan armor soldiers come from?" It's obviously a fire to burn the little Toyo!
