Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 280 Three: The oriole is behind (seeking subscription, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for all kinds!!!)

"Your Excellency, Commander, what should we do now? The two Chinese armies are already less than 150 kilometers away from Taiyuan. At their speed, they can reach the city in at most two days." Chiyoko Koga asked.

Umezu Yoshijiro is a person who is very good at controlling his emotions. He knows that the current rage is only a remedy, so he tried to suppress his anger, and then said slowly: "The most important thing now is to prevent the Chinese Air Force from rushing to Liushuyan. Otherwise, the chariot regiment in the hands of that idiot Xiayuan will be in danger. Without the chariot regiment, it will be even more difficult for Xiayuan’s troops to completely wipe out the Fourth Army of China. Jiahe, give Bin now His Excellency Yamamoto sent a telegram, requesting the Imperial Army Temporary Air Corps in Baoding to go to Liushuyan immediately to block the air force of the Eighth War Zone of China. In addition, he ordered the No.20 Division Division Headquarters and the 39th Brigade to be stationed in Jinzhong immediately. As for the defensive task of Yangquan, it is temporarily handed over to the Imperial Association Army, and at the same time, the 40th Brigade is ordered to speed up the march and must arrive at Yangquan within two days, otherwise the military law will be followed."

"Send another telegram to that bastard Xiayuan, ordering him to prepare to return to Gujiao and even Taiyuan, and if you can't destroy the Fourth Chinese Army, don't fight with it."

Umezu Yoshijiro's face is extremely ugly. It can be said that he has been tricked by Shimomoto Kumaya, his subordinate, and wanted to hunt but was tricked by his own hunting dog. Although the hunting dog's intentions are good, this fatal mistake still persists. Unforgivable, Umezu Yoshijiro has already sentenced Shimomoto Kumaya to death in his heart. [

The battle on the front line was still going on. Due to the sudden attack of the Japanese tank troops, the defense line that the No.40 Seventh Army had managed to organize was once again crumbling.There were more than 2 people in the two divisions when they set off, and now there are less than 7000 people left. The rest were either captured or turned into corpses, which made Li Jiayu feel like a knife.

But so far, sadness is also helpful, so I can only bite the bullet and fight on.

"Guapi, where are the boss and the others? How many miles away from the battlefield?" Li Jiayu asked Wang Guagua, the radio operator beside him.

"Report to Junzuo, the commander-in-chief has passed the retreat ditch, less than ten miles away from us, and can arrive in half an hour at most. Liu Junzuo and the others are returning to help us, but the mountain road they are taking is very bad Let's go, it will take about two hours to get here." The operator reported.

"Half an hour, it's worth it. I don't believe that the majestic 47th Army can't stop it for half an hour. If the notice goes on, even if the whole army beats the last person left, I must guard it. The little devil has taken the position." Li Jiayu said loudly.

"Understood, I promise not to let Guizi occupy our position!"

"Boom" At this moment, a cannon exploded beside Li Jiayu, and the dust that kicked up buried half of Li Jiayu immediately.

"Protect the military seat, protect the military seat!" Deputy Commander Luo Zezhou shouted loudly.

Li Jiayu shook his dizzy head, drove away the rushing guards, pulled himself out of the mound, and said loudly: "Protect me, I'm here, and I'll fight with you to the end. I'm dead!" On the anti-Japanese battlefield, Lao Tzu is a hero. If the ball is dead, he can go to Yan Wangye with those old brothers to make a foreign dish. He is also worthy of the elders in Sichuan, and even more worthy of the oath made by Chief Liu Xiang when he came out of Sichuan. Fight to the last person, swear to die Resist the enemy!"

"Fight to the last man, and fight the enemy to the death!" The remaining officers and soldiers of the 47th Army roared loudly.

Not far away, Shimomoto Kumaya, head of the Japanese 108th Division, was using a telescope to observe the remnants of the 47th Army surrounded in a small basin.Originally, he thought that two-thirds of the 47th Army had suffered casualties, and the remaining remnants had long been frightened by the Imperial Japanese Army, and they could be completely defeated by a single charge of the Imperial Army.

But things were far from what he had imagined. Instead of being defeated, the courage of the Chinese people increased even more.

"Baga, are you sure that the ones surrounded below are the Sichuan army with the most garbage equipment in China?" Lieutenant General Xiayuan Xiongmi asked angrily.

Chief of Staff of the 108th Division Suzuki Toshiyuki hurriedly said: "Reporting to your Excellency, the commander of the division, the 47th Army of China is surrounded by the imperial army below. This army belongs to the 22nd Army of Deng Xihou of the China Sichuan Army, and most of its soldiers are from China Sichuan, the Sichuan army suspects!"

"Then why is the fighting will of this Chinese army so tenacious, no less than that of the Imperial Japanese Army, even though two-thirds of the casualties are still resisting, tell me, what's going on?" Xia Yuan Xiong Mi said angrily.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the will to fight is not directly related to weapons and equipment. The Sichuan Army is famous for its tenacious fighting will. Your Excellency in the defense of Teng County should remember that the Sichuan Army in China was stationed in Teng County at that time, and that The combat effectiveness of this army is far inferior to that of the 47th Army." Colonel Suzuki Toshiyuki replied.

"Battle of Teng County, you mean Teng County in Shandong?" Lieutenant General Xiayuan Xiong Mi asked with a serious face.

"Yes, your Excellency, Division Commander, that is Fuji County." Said Colonel Suzuki Toshiyuki.

"Yoxi, the Sichuan Army, that's the Sichuan Army!" Xia Yuan Xiong Mi gasped and said, which shows how restless Xia Yuan is at this time. [

In fact, as long as any soldier who participated in the defense of Fuji County can be calm, whether it is a squadron or the Japanese army.In that battle, General Wang Zhangming, the general of the Sichuan Army, led a mere half of the division's troops, and he just blocked the Japanese army's 106th Division, 108th Division, and 3th Division each with a total of more than 4 people for 4 days and 70 nights. attack.At that time, the Japanese army had more than ten times the strength of Wang Zhangming's troops, more than 2 cannons, [-] to [-] tanks, [-] to [-] aircraft and [-] armored trains to cooperate in combat.But the defenders of Tengxian County only have blood, crude weapons in their hands, and of course a will to fight like steel.

The defense of Teng County lasted for four days and nights, totaling about 108 hours, killing more than 2000 enemies. In the past 4 days, more than 5 cannons have been dropped at the Chengguan of Teng County.The city defense troops suffered more than 5000 casualties from Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 40nd Division, and the No.5000 Fifth Army, which fought in the Jiehe and Longshan areas north of Teng County, also suffered [-] casualties from the commander of the [-]th Division, Chen Li.The defense of Teng County prevented tens of thousands of Japanese elite troops from going south with huge sacrifices, bought precious time for the Fifth Theater to prepare for the Taierzhuang Battle, and made immortal contributions to defending Xuzhou and consolidating Wuhan.

The Chinese remembered that battle, and the Japanese also remembered it, especially Shimomoto Kumaya, who personally commanded that battle.It was precisely because of the defeat in that battle that the Japanese imperial army suffered huge losses in Taierzhuang, and the imperial army's military might was once again trampled by the Chinese.Unexpectedly, here, he encountered an equally tough Chinese Sichuan Army.

"Give me an order, the artillery fires immediately, a rapid volley fires in 10 minutes, the chariot wing prepares to charge, and immediately charges as soon as the artillery stops, and wipes out all the Chinese troops below, leaving no one behind!" Xia Yuanxiong Mi said loudly.

"Hay!"

"Boom, boom, boom" guns kept falling on the positions of the 47th Army. From time to time, officers and soldiers were bombarded with blood, but no one retreated, let alone escaped.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the Japanese tank units began to charge, but just after the Japanese tanks entered the basin, there was a low hum in the sky, and then a large number of aircraft fell down.These flights did not fall on the head of the 47th Army, but on the head of the Japanese Tank Wing.

"Boom, boom, boom!" A large number of aircraft exploded among the dense tank troops. The Japanese army's iron bastards were like large oil barrels that were detonated, not the soaring flames and deafening explosions.

The tanks of the Japanese army suffered a devastating blow. Of the more than 70 tanks that rushed into the basin, only more than 20 could move. More importantly, due to too many wrecked tanks, the road on the north side of the basin was directly blocked. The remaining more than 20 tanks of the Japanese army were in a dilemma and completely useless.

Just when the soldiers of the 47th Army chanted Long Live the Air Force, and opened their eyes to see the Air Force send all the devil's iron bastards to hell, a dozen Japanese fighter planes with blood-red battle flags on their bodies suddenly rushed down from the sky , several Chinese fighter planes were accidentally hit, some disintegrated in the air, and others drifted into the distance with long thick smoke, but more fighter planes fought back vigorously, and a battle of eagles launched over Liushuyan. Fighting in the sky.

The war on the ground stopped for a few minutes and then continued, but Shimomoto Kumaya's unit, which had lost the best chance of destroying the 47th Army, was about to face the Fourth Army's two infantry corps with sufficient troops and an already killed The siege of the red-eyed remnants.

The battle at Liushuyan has reached a fever pitch, and the battles in the direction of Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Pass are even more intense.After receiving Chen Feng's telegram, Li Wensheng and Li Yifeng hurriedly adjusted their tactics and transferred the most elite troops to the city pass to attack the Japanese guarding the city.

The Eighth Regiment of the Japanese Army in the direction of Yanmenguan had suffered more than half of its casualties during the two-day battle. Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada originally planned to let them support for another day, and then give them reinforcements.However, after the squadron adjusted its tactics, not only planes came to assist in the battle, but also a large number of heavy artillery participated in the battle. The already dilapidated Yanmen Pass collapsed after three hours of fierce bombardment, although the gap was only less than 20 meters , But this still put a lot of pressure on the Eighth Wing.In desperation, Lieutenant General Shigeru Sawada had no choice but to order the 10th Regiment to urgently reinforce Yanmen Pass, and must guard this important pass.

The battle in the direction of Ningwuguan was equally fierce, but under the attack of as many as one artillery division under Li Yifeng's command, the Japanese army guarding the pass was also shaky. After two days of bombardment, they even slipped away. Although less than 2000 puppet troops escaped, the blow to the morale of the troops defending the city was immeasurable.

And just tonight, the surprise soldiers sent by Chen Feng to the Shimen area finally started to act. The Japanese army became the praying mantis that caught the cicada, and the oriole released from the eighth war zone also launched its ultimate move. rs! .
