Chapter 526: Despicable Betrayal

In the face of the Japanese attack, on the position of the 53rd Division, although the soldiers were nervous, the division commander was with everyone, and the officers at all levels bent their waists, running back and forth in the trenches, whispering to the soldiers, the usual training also played a role, and at the sound of an order, all kinds of weapons opened fire together, bursting into angry flames, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed forward, as if they had hit a wall, immediately had gold stars in their eyes, and no longer dared to charge upright, lying on the spot to fight back.

Bullets intertwined in the night sky, the Japanese soldiers who had no fortifications to rely on, were pressed by the fierce firepower, unable to raise their heads, eight Japanese tanks, had rushed to the edge of the trenches, I don't know how many grenades flew in, around the tanks, blowing up a ball of fire, although this did little damage to the Japanese tanks, but it was enough for the arrogant Japanese tank soldiers to break out in a cold sweat.

Eight tanks, attacking the defensive position of a division, that is, the madman of Koyama Masao can do it, seeing that the momentum is not right, the Japanese tanks have turned their heads and ran back, and the Japanese soldiers saw that the tanks had run away, and they also withdrew, leaving a lot of corpses, and Koyama's crazy idea of trying to break through the Hebi defense line in one fell swoop was shattered by the ruthless reality.

The fierce gunfire here also woke up the 49th Division on the left flank, they were not as well-trained as the 53rd Division, and the panicked soldiers, under the shouts of the equally panicked officers, rushed to the trenches, regardless of whether there were Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, light and heavy machine guns and rifles fired together, and they were all over the dark wilderness, which was lively enough.

Masao Koyama, who was beaten back by the troops of the 53rd Division, looked at the defeated tanks and soldiers, and was stunned there, and the two Japanese captains looked at him gloatingly, and had already said that the Chinese army would be on guard, no, it hit the iron plate headlong, right?

Another burst of dense gunfire rang out on the left flank, startling Xiaoshan, and he turned around and glared angrily at the two captains who obviously saw him ugly, he thought that he had also launched an attack on the left flank position of the Chinese army, which was contrary to his intentions, there were not many troops, and he did not concentrate a little chiseling, but to disperse the troops, he had never given such an order, it must be these two guys who were making trouble, deliberately letting themselves lose face.

The two Japanese captains looked innocent, the troops are in your hands, we don't have the right to give any orders, Xiaoshan was full of disbelief, picked up the telescope in confusion, looked at it, and a smug smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "To the west, over there, the Chinese army is panicking," he ordered the tank, turn to the left flank, aim at the exposed fire point, destroy it directly, and open the passage for the follow-up troops.

Here, with constant attacks, to attract the attention of the Chinese army, and then, we outflanked the past, Xiaoshan said proudly, and made a choking action, the 49th Division shot blindly, not only exposing the target and firepower point, but also exposing the panic in the heart, and was keenly caught by Xiaoshan, a sinister and cunning guy.

Liu Zhaoyu, who was in the forward command headquarters, threw away his binoculars in a rage, and the actions of the 49th Division just now were all in his eyes, and from the density of the firepower of the Japanese troops on the opposite side to return fire, he came to a correct judgment that the Japanese troops attacking the outer positions of Hebi were not many, and they did not have a good grasp of the defensive situation, so it was impossible for them to attack the positions of the 49th Division.

Wang Guangpu, how do you usually train the troops, you didn't even see the shadow of the Japanese, you messed up the formation first, what kind of battle is this called, he is about to call the 49th Division, at this time Wang Guangpu has panicked, the mahjong cards fell to the ground, and a few officers who accompanied the commander for entertainment watched the division commander go back and forth in circles.

He never thought that the Japanese really called, Anyang lost, he scolded the two division friends, and what kind of fateful friendship, bullshit The Japanese called, and they didn't notify me, what kind of friends of his **, and still take care of each other, just take care of me like this, let the Japanese hit the door? Lao Tzu is dying

Then, he asked the adjutant irritably: "Have you contacted the Legion Department?" "Report to the division commander, I am in contact," the adjutant replied cautiously, "He has *** burned his eyebrows, and he ** is unhurried, Lao Tzu will let you bastards kill sooner or later" Wang Guangpu, who has no master of the six gods, sprinkled all his anger on the heads of his subordinates.

Finally, Tang Enbo replied to the telegram, he snatched it over, opened it with trembling hands, and it read: "This time the Japanese army launched an attack, the incident happened suddenly, Anyang has lost contact, I strictly ordered Liu Zhaoyu, the commander of the 53rd Division, to be sure to defend the Hebi defense line, for the main force of the corps in Xinxiang and Zhengzhou, to gain time, your division can adjust the deployment according to the actual situation on the battlefield, remember, preservation of strength is the first priority, Tang Enbo." ”

Wang Guangpu breathed a sigh of relief, if Tang Enbo was in front of him, he would kneel down and kowtow to the corps commander a few times, this is a life-saving telegram, he can understand Tang Enbo's intentions very well, according to the situation, adjust the deployment, high, that is, stick to the plateau, retreat at the right time, and adjust the scope of deployment.

He had a bottom in his heart, and his voice was thick, "Order the troops at the front to be ready to retreat at any time," he was stronger than the two division commanders, and he did not leave the troops and run away by himself, after giving the order, he hesitated again, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, as soon as the 49th Division withdrew, the left flank of the 53rd Division completely lost its support, and Liu Zhaoyu was going to suffer a catastrophe.

The momentary compassion was completely expelled from his mind, and even the army commander didn't tell him the truth, why should I bother, aren't you Liu Zhaoyu very capable of fighting? This time, I'll give you a chance to express your appearance, usually the relationship between the two is quite stiff, they belong to the type of different ways and don't conspire with each other, and they don't like each other, even if they are stationed in the same city, they don't get along with each other, unless they are in contact on official matters, I can't commit taboos for you Liu Zhaoyu, besides, without your 53rd Division, can my 49th Division retreat along the way?

The phone rang urgently, the staff officer picked it up, covered the microphone with his hand and said: "Division commander, it's the phone of Division Commander Liu of the 53rd Division, there is an emergency to find you," "Sue him, just say that I am on the front line, and I can't be contacted for a while," Wang Guangpu lied without blushing or beating his heart, and then ordered the guards to quickly help his wife pack up the gold and silver and prepare to run away.

Liu Zhaoyu called Wang Guangpu, he didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to remind him that because the troops of the 49th Division, in the absence of a Japanese attack, opened fire in a panic and blindly, exposing the target, and they must quickly adjust their deployment, otherwise, they will suffer a big loss, and he knows very well that the 49th Division's fortifications are terrible and cannot withstand a few shells from the Japanese army.

He did receive an order from the corps commander Tang Enbo to defend the outer position of Hebi, because it was two divisional associations, he didn't want to see unnecessary casualties among friendly and neighboring troops, and even this kind of kindness was rejected by Wang Guangpu, he didn't know that the order Wang Guangpu received was diametrically opposed to himself.

After the Japanese tanks turned to the left flank, the firepower of the 49th Division was still desperately shooting blindly, which provided a good artillery target for the Japanese tanks, almost one artillery shot, and knocked out many firepower points of the 49th Division's forward positions one after another.

The Japanese army in front of the 53rd Division was still attacking continuously in small squadrons, Liu Zhaoyu instinctively felt that something was not right, the Japanese offensive was very inactive, and it seemed to be attracting his own attention, but the position of the 49th Division in the friendly neighborhood was constantly attacked by the Japanese tanks, and he saw that one by one the firepower was dumb.

He was taken aback, the Japanese discovered a weakness in the defensive line? Indeed, Xiaoshan has already transferred most of his troops to the front of the 49th Division, and he slyly thinks that he will not be able to hit the iron plate hard, and the defense capability and combat effectiveness of the Zhina army on the left flank are obviously weaker than those on the right flank, and if the outer defense line of Hebi is broken through from here and Hebi is captured, I, Xiaoshan Masao, will be a miracle creator who will defeat the four main divisions of the Chinese government army in a few hours, with the strength of less than two brigades, and the future will be great.

He personally went into battle and led the Japanese soldiers to hide in front of the position of the 49th Division, and the aimless bullets did not pose any threat to the Japanese army at all, and the soldiers of the 49th Division, also did not know that in front of their position, a group of wolves with teeth were already hidden.

The accurate shelling of the Japanese tanks plunged the forward positions of the 49th Division into a panic, and seeing that a very light and heavy machine gun had turned into scrap metal, and the bloody corpses of the soldiers were thrown high by shells, the officers had already panicked and kept calling Wang Guangpu's headquarters.

It is unbelievable that the Japanese army only used eight tanks to defeat an entire division and lose its armor and panic, and the 53rd Division faced the combined onslaught of Japanese tanks and infantry, and its position remained immovable, not an inch of land was lost, but the Japanese army paid the price.

Wang Guangpu, who received an emergency call from the front, thought that the actual situation said by the corps commander had arrived, and if he did not withdraw, the troops would be wiped out, and immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions immediately.

As soon as the order was issued, the troops of the 49th Division, which had been in a panic, were immediately in such a panic that they were in no sense of confusion, the wounded soldiers were left in the position and no one cared for them, leaving them to plead in agony, the officers were busy changing the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and the soldiers threw away everything they could throw on their bodies.

As the 49th Division fled from the outer positions of Hebi in panic, the gunfire on the left flank suddenly fell silent, and on the side of the 53rd Division, the door was opened, and the fate of Liu Zhaoyu and more than 10,000 officers and men of the 53rd Division was betrayed despicably, and their blood was about to be sprinkled on this land of suffering.
