War of Resistance

Chapter 518

The reinforcement troops of the Japanese army are desperately approaching Yi County. Even the No. 20 Second Army of the Sichuan Army, which suffered heavy casualties and will not be replenished in the future, has also entered the Yi County battlefield after a short period of reorganization.

It can be seen that the flames of war in Yixian County are flourishing and the fighting is raging.

According to the reconnaissance report of the national army, it can be judged that there are no less than [-] Japanese troops in Zaozhuang, Shuiguo, Lincheng, and Hanzhuang near Yixian County. , There are no less than ten thousand people.

Roughly estimated, there are already more than 1 people!

"The Japanese army already has the possibility of reinforcements in several directions. As long as they are willing, they may launch a surprise attack on the troops on the periphery of our army at any time." Meng Qisan, a counselor of the Second Army Headquarters, said to Sun Lianzhong.

The position of counselor can be understood as a staff officer with a higher official position, and this is the case for Meng Qisan, whose military rank is the rank of colonel. "Let's fight first! These little Japanese are now being dragged by the Sichuan Army and Yu Xuezhong's Ninth Army. It is estimated that they will not be able to pass for a while. In short, we must buy time. Take the lead in annihilating the enemy in the city!" Sun Lianzhong punched hard on the ground. on the desktop of the headquarters.

For Sun Lianzhong, his Second Army had already lost so many good brothers in this battle, it was impossible to just give up so lightly!
Doing the math, since the battle of Taierzhuang, his Second Army has already suffered more than half of its casualties. If it weren't for the bravery of blood and courage, and the fact that all the troops were downsizing to fight.

Some units are directly said to be a brigade, but in reality?Only one battalion is less than!

How similar is this level to the situation during the Nanjing Defense War!The troop establishment on paper is large, but in fact there are not many people...

"Yes, boss." After hearing Sun Lianzhong's resolute tone, Meng Qisan couldn't say too much, so he could only respond.

At this moment, another burst of singing came from outside the camp.

"Big knife~Xiang! Cut off the heads of the devils!

National armed brothers!

The day of war has come!The day of war has come!

There is the Volunteer Army in the Northeast in front, and the people of the whole country behind..."

This song was originally given to the Broadsword Squadron of the Northwest Army. As the Second Army of the Northwest Army system, this song is also popular.

So it is normal to hear this song on the Second Army's position.

Sun Lianzhong's throat moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Order the vanguard troops, and all of them will go into battle immediately. Even if it is a hard tear, I will tear a hole in the defense line of the little devil!"

"Yes, boss!" After Meng Qisan responded, he immediately went to pick up the phone to convey Sun Lianzhong's order.

"Hey, this is the general headquarters of the group army. I ordered the No.90 brigade on the front line to go into battle! The boss said, even if it is a hard tear, a hole must be torn from the hands of the little devil!" Meng Qisan picked up the phone. roared loudly.

The Second Army is not the only one fighting lively on the front line of Yi County, but so far, only the troops of the Second Army have broken into the city gate of Yi County.

Looking at Tang Enbo's army, it's not that they have given up their attack on Yi County, but that the enemy they are facing now is a force composed of the Fifth Division and other reinforcements of the Japanese army!

This army directly passed through LY, detoured to the Taizao branch line in the southeast of Yixian County, and then fought in the direction of Yixian County in the northwest!
The troops in charge of defending the enemy's advance were none other than Wang Zhonglian's No.80 Fifth Army. These Japanese troops have launched a fierce attack on the No.80 Fifth Army's defensive positions since the [-]th, and even dispatched many armored vehicles and tanks. Make an assault.

Obviously, this group of Japanese soldiers was in a hurry, because they received a death order!

When the fight was at its most intense, even Guan Linzheng's Second Army joined the battle!

The Second Army first used the artillery unit to provide fire support, and then found that there was not much effect. Then Guan Linzheng, the commander of the Second Army who was commanding the battle from Jiuding Mountain, directly ordered Zheng Dongguo's second division to also go into battle to support the flank defense of the 85th Army. Then support the second division with the support firepower of the artillery battalion, and launch a counter-charge if possible!

"Whoo~~Boom!!!"

"Whoo~~Boom!!!"

"Whoo~~Boom!!!"

A burst of suppressive artillery fire from the Japanese army hit Jiuding Mountain. For a while, rocks and broken soil flew across Jiuding Mountain, and there was a rumbling sound of explosions. That burst of artillery fire almost covered Jiuding Mountain!
After all, most of the artillery positions of the national army are at the foot of the mountain on Jiuding. The Japanese army in Yi County has no strength to fight out, so they dared to set up artillery positions here.

Besides, now the vanguard of the Second Army has entered the city gate of Yi County, and has already engaged in street fighting with the Isotani Rensuke Department who is trapped in Yi County. They are already too busy to take care of themselves, let alone fight out of the city. .

Because it was a night operation, the Japanese army was not able to dispatch planes to launch continuous bombing on Jiuding Mountain.

Generally speaking, the Japanese army relied on its superiority in weapons and equipment, coupled with artillery fire and aircraft suppression, to launch an attack to snatch the positions of the national army troops. At night, when the national army troops counterattacked the Japanese army, the battle was once stalemate. white hot.

"Mr. Zuo, our troops are fighting so fiercely on the front line. The firepower of this little Japan is too fierce. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we will be seriously injured..." A staff officer next to him said.

Guan Linzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the staff officer: "Don't forget what you joined the army for, Huangpu spirit, have you forgotten?!"

"Yes, sir. I know I'm wrong." The staff officer responded obediently.

Guan Linzheng sighed, and said: "It's a pity that the reinforcements from this little Japan came too fast, and we didn't give us much time to prepare. Now we can only see if Sun Lianzhong's second group can do it. The Japanese attack outside is so fierce. Whether or not the enemy army in Yi County can be wiped out can only be relied on by their Second Army. The current task of our No.20 Legion can only be to help the friendly army in Yi County."

"Now the troops of the Second Division have entered the battle, and the troops of the No. 20 Fifth Division have also attacked the villages north of Jiuding Mountain. Now the No. 20 Fifth Division controls one-third of the villages. Two, but according to the information uploaded this morning, the enemy troops in the north are gradually approaching the villages north of Jiuding Mountain. The most important thing is that we have no reserve team in our hands..." The man The combat staff officer reminded him, but whether he is scolded or whatever, this is his responsibility!
"It can only be changed in order to cope with all changes. Let's talk about it when the enemy comes!" Guan Linzheng's face was gloomy, obviously he was not in a good mood.

"Understood, Commander." The combat staff officer replied.

……

Beiping, the former site of Duan Qirui's Executive Government in Iron Lion Alley.

At this time, the building at the former site of Duan Qirui's executive government, although it still looks like a small western-style building, is no longer what it used to be. The rising sun flag of the Japanese army, and their dog skin plaster flag.

Row after row, it is particularly obvious, hunting under the blowing of the wind, and there are already fortified appearances everywhere.

The gate tower was already full of Japanese sentries, and the level of strictness can be said to be one post at five steps and one post at ten steps.

These Japanese sentinel troops can be said to be very well equipped, and their weapons configuration is higher than that of the field troops on the Japanese front line, because this is the headquarters of the North China Front Army of the Imperial Japanese Army!
Sitting in the office, Terauchi Shouichi stared very sharply at the samurai sword hanging on the wall in front of him. On the top of the samurai sword was written the words "Wu Yun Changlong".

The entire office has been changed into a Japanese style.

Terauchi Shouichi lightly touched the warm teacup on the table with his stubby fingers, obviously he was not in a good mood, but as a senior officer, his ability to control anger is very superb...

Well, unless you can't help it...

There are many reasons for being in a bad mood. The war ahead is not going well. This is one of them, but this is nothing. Anyway, the deployment has been done; the second reason is the most important. He has heard The wind got out, and the domestic base camp was about to remove him as commander and replace him.

Terauchi Shouichi thought that he could go back with a promotion, but the cruel fact at this stage is that he is going to go back with a status of being demoted.

The familiar office in front of him suddenly became a little strange, and there was also some inexplicable nostalgia.

"The frontline battlefield, we can't just forget it like this. Even if we want to go back, we have to eat the main force of the damned Chinese Army's Fifth War Zone Li Zongren's Department." Terauchi Shouyi murmured, his fists already clenched.

General Toshiichi Terauchi is not the kind of person who can only talk. Now that he has decided to annihilate the main force of the fifth theater of the Chinese army, he strode towards the military map in his office and began to carefully study Study the battle plan.

"The main force of the second army has already assembled in Yi County, Shandong, and Xiangyue Qingsijun's first army should not be idle." Terauchi Shouyi murmured, a rough plan had already formed in his mind up.

Standing in front of the map and meditating for about 5 minutes, Terauchi Shouichi returned to his desk and sat down, then took out a piece of letterhead paper, and wrote on it with a pen: The first army should dispatch an elite division of troops, attached Two heavy artillery regiments plus a chariot squadron marched into southwestern Shandong to prepare for the frontal operations of the second army at any time!
