Chapter 249: The General Offensive Begins
Just when the prosperous Shanghai was once again under artillery fire, under the city of Chahar Duolun, Li Longzheng commanded the post headquarters to launch a comprehensive general attack on the 15th Brigade of the Chinese army under the city of Duolun.
On the night of 13 August, the 1st and 3rd Brigades of the Chadong Reading Division and the Cavalry Brigade rushed to the predetermined location after a night of rapid marching and completed the encirclement of the Yue Army.
After learning the news that he was surrounded, Seiichiro Suhara not only did not panic, but said very excitedly, "It's just right to finish the battle and annihilate the ** troops in Chadong in one fell swoop!" ”
On the morning of 14 August, when the sun had just jumped over the horizon, Li Longji issued a general attack order to all units by telephone. For a time, the hundreds of cannons of the Chadong Reading Division let out an earth-shattering roar at the same time, and the shells smashed towards the position of the army as if they did not want money. At the same time, all the fighters of the flying group also took to the air and began to bomb the positions of the Japanese army, clearing the way for the troops to attack!
At this time, Seiichiro Suwara realized the seriousness of the matter, but this old devil wanted to save face, so he still refused to ask Tojo Hideki for help, and ordered all troops to carry forward the spirit of bushido and block the attack of the ** people.
The bombardment lasted for more than three hours, and at 10 o'clock in the morning, the Chadong Reading Division launched a fierce attack on the Yue army from the west, south, and north. Among them, the 2nd Brigade and the troops directly under the divisions launched a fierce attack on the Yue army from Duolun City, with the 1st Brigade from the south and the 3rd Brigade from the north.
Amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the officers and men of the Chadong Reading Division rushed towards the position of the Yue army like a wave. Lai Zuoliang's 2nd Brigade suffered considerable losses in previous battles. Originally, Li Long asked them to cooperate with the reading group directly under the division and serve as a feint. However, Lai Zuoliang, who has always been strong, said, "Our Second Brigade is the main force of the division, and no matter how strong their reading regiment is, it has only one regiment of troops. If we want to cooperate, it can only be him who cooperates with us! ”
Li Long was helpless, and finally handed over the reading group to Lai Zuoliang for the time being, as for how to fight! See for yourself! This can make Lai Zuoliang very happy! The reason is very simple, although this reading regiment has only 2,000 people, it is the most combat-effective unit in the whole division. In terms of equipment alone, it is much stronger than other regiments!
In the forward command post, Zhang Guibiao, the head of the Reading Force, looked at Lai Zuoliang and smiled, "Lai! Your Second Brigade is indeed very effective in combat, but you have to admit that you pull out a regiment at random, and you are definitely not the opponent of our Reading Force! ”
"What?" Lai Zuoliang's eyes immediately widened.
Zhang Guibiao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me!" I saw these two days of fighting clearly in the city! Your second brigade is fighting very well, and the second brigade is all gentlemen! I'll admit it! But there is one point, you have to admit that the weapons and equipment of our Reading Force Regiment are much better than yours, and the quality of weapons in modern warfare directly affects the outcome of the war, so when it comes purely to combat effectiveness, our Reading Force Regiment is still a little stronger! ”
Lai Zuoliang snorted coldly and said, "Just like we use the same equipment, I can defeat your Reading Force Group by picking any regiment!" The division is eccentric, and I will give you all the good things! ”
Zhang Guibiao laughed for a while, this guy is really a dead duck with a hard mouth, but Zhang Guibiao knows that this kid is a donkey, you have to follow him, so he laughed and said, "Lai!" It's not the partiality of the division! There's no way around it. The Fujian arsenal has limited production and simply cannot meet the needs of all troops, so it can only give priority to equipping a small part of the troops! But don't be envious, I've heard that it won't be long before you'll be able to change into new equipment! ”
"Really?" A flash of excitement flashed in Lai Zuoliang's eyes.
"What do we have to do with each other, can I lie to you?" Zhang Guibiao said with a smile.
Lai Zuoliang knew that this Zhang Guibiao used to be the commander of the guard company beside Jin Zhao, and he was picked up by Jin Zhao, an absolute cronie, so what this kid said was eighty percent true. Lai Zuoliang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly leaned up and smiled, "Brother Zhang! Let's see if you can tell the head office, if the new equipment arrives, give priority to equipping our second brigade! ”
Zhang Guibiao said with a smile, "I said it's a bad guy! You'd be wrong! This kind of thing, it's useless to talk to the head seat, the head seat has so many things every day, where can I take care of these! In this matter, I have to go to the teacher's seat! ”
Lai Zuoliang nodded thoughtfully, and Zhang Guibiao continued, "I heard from Shizuo that the second brigade fought very hard this time, and he always watched it!" I'm thinking about how to compensate your second brigade! But you can't change your temper as a donkey, and if you offend the master one day, this matter will be suspended! ”
"Report! Travel! The attack of the second regiment was blocked! At this moment, the communications staff officer ran in and said loudly.
"! What does he eat with his beard? Tell him that if he can't take the devil's position anymore, Lao Tzu will shoot him! When Lai Zuoliang heard this, he immediately became angry and shouted loudly.
Zhang Guibiao hurriedly persuaded, "Lai! I think Lao Wang has done his best! Look at this, I'll send another battalion to support Lao Wang! ”
"You still have a battalion in your hands?" Lai Zuoliang asked with a frown.
"To deal with that puppet army, do you still use one of my regiments?" Zhang Guibiao pursed his lips and said, "Don't worry! It's your credit, and no one can take it away! And this time the whole division is dispatched, and the division seat has also put the main direction of attack on the first and third brigades, if you hesitate a little longer, the credit will be snatched away by others! "Lai Zuoliang likes to eat alone, which is famous, as long as he recognizes that it is his own things, no one can snatch them, and others call him Laipi Dog behind his back. This time, in order to prevent the reading force group from working on the wall, this guy actually sent the strongest reading force group to deal with the puppet army. As Zhang Guibiao said, Li Long put the main direction of attack on the 1st and 3rd Brigades, and he acquiesced to Lai Zuoliang's behavior of protecting food.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Zhang Guibiao's words, Lai Zuoliang, who was unwilling to take credit for being robbed by the first and third brigades, immediately nodded and said, "Okay then!" But you can't eat alone! ”
"That's nature! Our Reading Force is now under your command, no matter how much we have achieved, it is inseparable from your wise leadership, and this credit naturally has your share! Zhang Guibiao grinned, and by the way, he patted Lai Zuoliang a little fart. But in my heart, I scolded Lai Zuoliang hundreds of times!
Lai Zuoliang smiled and put his arm around Zhang Guibiao's shoulder and said, "Brother Zhang is polite!" If this battle is fought, I will invite you to drink! ”
Zhang Guibiao said with a smile, "They are all their own brothers, they are all for killing devils, why be so polite!" (To be continued.) )
