Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

'shooting! '

Faced with the sudden shooting by the little devil, the more experienced veterans quickly lay down on the ground the moment the flare was lifted into the air.And he quickly fired his gun, ready to shoot at each other.

And some flustered recruits didn't know what to do at all.These recruits caught off guard soon became the targets of the Japanese army on the blocking position.Every living life withered in the rounds of gunshots.

On the other hand, at this moment some experienced veterans were lying on the offensive position and kept shooting at the Japanese soldiers in the trenches.For them, this attack was just a tentative attack, and it would be great to be able to shoot a little devil.

The marksmanship of the veterans is relatively more reliable than that of the recruits.However, compared with the Japanese troops they shot and killed, the 51st Army undoubtedly suffered a big loss in this round of tentative attacks, with more casualties.

When the flares went out again, the company commander in charge of the attack also said in a timely manner: "Withdraw!"

The first round of probing attacks ended with the company commander's 'withdraw'.As for the soldiers who fell on the ground, except for the wounded who were taken away, the sacrificed ones were still left on the way to attack.

Because they all know that this is only the first attack tonight, and there will be countless people who will fall in front of this blocking position.The corpses were not carried away only because it was not yet time to clean up the battlefield.

Looking at a company that had lost more than half of it, the company commander who led the team also felt heartbroken.But the 51st Army has experienced such things many times since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.Some veterans seem to be used to this scene.

But for the 51st Army, what they want to do in their round of attack is not to take down the blocking position of the little devil, but more to test the firepower of the little devil.What I want most is undoubtedly to catch the little devil artillery by surprise.

With the end of the bombardment from both sides, Xu Youchang looked at the Japanese mountain artillery unit that was almost in a state of no counterattack, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Order the mountain artillery battalion, adjust the bombardment parameters, and start shelling the Japanese blocking positions.

At the same time, he ordered the attacking troops to get as close as possible to the Japanese army.Taking advantage of the darkness, climb to the vicinity of the little devil's blocking position and attack with grenades.As long as the gap is broken, there is hope for our offense tonight. "

'Yes, military seat! '

The night is actually a disadvantageous factor for both the offensive and defensive armies.But compared to the daytime, the artillery of the 51st Army didn't dare to use it at all, and even the troops didn't dare to get together. Be careful of the little devil's planes, and night battles are undoubtedly more advantageous.

On the other hand, Fujie Keisuke, who was in the town at the moment, also found it incredible to hear that more than half of their mountain artillery squadron was destroyed by the round of artillery.When did the artillery of the Huaxia Army reach this level?

Thinking of this, Fujie Keisuke said suspiciously: "Could it be that the troops attacking our eastern defense line at this moment are the hateful Eighth Route Army troops? They are here, how many troops are there?"

According to the predictions made by Keisuke Fujie and the Second Army of the Japanese Army, they guessed that the Eighth Route Army in this area at the moment only had two or three regiments of troops at most.After all, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is blocking the rescue of the No.13 Division right now!

Then, with the addition of the third division that has moved to Lu'an at this moment, the No. 60 Seventh Army should still have a division and a brigade.But in Huangchuan, Huaibin and even the mall, their intelligence departments already have troops from the Eighth Route Army.

After such additions and subtractions, the Eighth Route Army has at most one brigade of troops deployed here.Is it possible that the troops of this brigade dare to be the vanguard and take the lead in attacking them?This is a bit too crazy! (To be continued.) 8

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

<> As the 51st Army took the lead in attacking the No.16 Division that had entered the small town, the rest of the troops from the Fifth War Zone, which arrived one after another, also rushed to the direction of the small town day and night, hoping to encircle the Japanese army as soon as possible.

Even in one night, it is impossible to win the No.16 division, which is still the main force stationed in the town.But as far as Li Zongren is concerned, he has only one requirement for the combat troops tonight, and that is to tie this pocket tightly.

As long as this pocket can be tied tightly, how to get it down as soon as possible is their task.For this reason, the troops in the theater who received the order did not dare to relax in the slightest in this matter.

Lao Jiang, who also learned of this situation, was a little surprised that the fifth war zone was able to surround the No. 16 division of the little devil.Lao Jiang also hated this division extremely.

The moment he received Li Zongren's report on the battle situation, Lao Jiang said to his attendants: "I ordered Li Zongren to do everything possible to annihilate this Japanese army. They were the main culprits of the Nanjing Massacre. Not killing them is not enough." Civilian outrage!"

Hearing Lao Jiang's words, the attendant also agreed in a timely manner, but said cautiously: "Commissioner, Commander Song of the 71st Army sent a telegram earlier, and their battle casualties in the past few days are not small. And the next battle , they still seem to be the main attack!"

'What's the meaning? '

Lao Jiang, who didn't understand for a while, also asked directly.It's just that Lao Jiang still cares more or less about the 71st Army, the direct line of the Central Army.After all, this is the army directly under his command!

Commander Song sent a telegram earlier, saying that they have been fighting very hard these days.However, Chief Li seems to be planning to let them take the main attack.Commander Song was afraid that if such a battle was fought, his troops would suffer huge casualties.

In the past two days, they first fought against the little devil's blocking forces, and finally they took the lead in defeating the Japanese blocking forces.The two remaining main divisions suffered a lot of consumption and casualties.If he continued to attack, he was afraid that the troops would be really hurt! '

Compared with the 51st Army and the 77th Army, the family knows their own affairs.They all knew that in the next battle to encircle and wipe out the No. 16 Division, what they had to do was serve as an assist and ensure that the little devil did not break through their defense line.

As for the main offensive role, I'm afraid it will still be handed over to the 71st Army.Regarding this situation, Song Xilian did seem a little indignant.After all, the cost of casualties caused by such a mission to the troops really made him feel a little heartbroken.

Even in the battles of the past few days, the 71st Army has fought very well, and I believe that the rewards from the government will not be less.But Song Xilian knew very well that if he really wanted to wipe out the elite of the 71st Army, Lao Jiang would definitely not give him good fruit.

On the one hand, it is Li Zongren's important task, on the other hand, he is worried about old Jiang Qiuhou's reckoning.In Song Xilian's view, it is also very necessary to specially send a telegram to complain, or to tell Lao Jiang in advance.

The attendant's explanation made Lao Jiang slightly stunned and said: "How many casualties have the 71st Army suffered in the past few days?"

In the Lu'an blocking battle, more than half of their divisions suffered casualties, and they have just been replenished.However, the number of recruits is still relatively large, and was used by Commander Song as a reserve force.

The remaining two main divisions are currently suffering heavy casualties.Although there were not more than half of the casualties, the casualties of the two main divisions in the past two days have approached more than 6000.Especially in today's offensive battle, they paid nearly [-] casualties. '

'How could there be so many casualties? '

As the chairman of the national government, Lao Jiang has naturally led soldiers, and he knows how high the price is.Even if the 71st Army is the main force of the Central Army, each main division is basically compiled.

But the two main divisions added up to more than 3 troops, with nearly [-] casualties, which equals to a loss of one-fifth of their combat effectiveness in one day.Under normal circumstances, troops with more than half of their casualties can basically only rest and wait for battle.

Looking at Lao Jiang who was frowning, the attendant also said helplessly: "Commissioner, the little devils fought very tenaciously in order to ensure that their troops broke through the siege smoothly. In addition, during the day, they still have planes to help them fight. Commander Song's troops are really not good at fighting easy.

It's just that as far as the troops in the fifth theater can see, the combat effectiveness of the 51st Army and the 77th Army is not very good.As for the troops over there, they seem to be fighting hard.The reinforcements sent by the little devils fought hard against their blocking troops.

Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army is already dispatching reinforcements for rescue.Chief Li should also know about this situation, so he knew that it must be resolved quickly.But there are only those troops in the war zone, and it is difficult for local troops to be entrusted with them to deal with little devils! "

'Doesn't the new 67th Army still have a main division?Where is their main division now? '

'According to the situation reported by Chief Li, they are currently advancing towards Lu'an.This force was more of a side response, and at the same time attracted the attention of the Japanese troops stationed in Lu'an, making them afraid to send troops to support them easily.

As for the other main division of the New 67th Army, it is currently fighting the No.13 Division of the Japanese Army.According to the news we got before, they fought fiercely with the Japanese army today, and the casualties are probably not too small.

Now their troops in the theater are probably less than 1.Moreover, their resistance in the past two days also paid a considerable price.In this case, even if Chief Li wanted to send them, they might be powerless. '

It is clear that Lao Jiang asked the position of the other main division of the 67th Army because he wanted the 67th Army to fight the main attack, and the attendant explained it in a timely manner.At least in his opinion, doing so would only anger the Eighth Route Army.

And after a pause for a few seconds, the attendant said again: "Commissioner, from the humble point of view, even if the main division of the New 67th Army is transferred there, it will not be good for us other than wasting time.

This time, the new 67th Army has already fought very well, and the fifth theater can turn the unfavorable situation around, and they can be said to have contributed a lot.If they succeed in encircling and annihilating the No.16 Division, it will be very detrimental to our anti-Japanese propaganda.

If we can win the No.16 Division this time, we can also focus on publicizing the achievements of our troops.Even in this way, we can suppress the new 67th Army and encircle and wipe out the record of the [-]th Division of the Little Devils! "

It is clear that in terms of the current situation of the war of resistance, although the Eighth Route Army is more engaged in the war of resistance in the northwest.However, the situation in Northwest China and North China, as well as the successive victories of the Eighth Route Army after the War of Resistance, did put enormous pressure on the Central Army.

After all, some international aid materials and funds are handed over to the national government by various countries.The achievements they have made in the war of resistance are not as great as those of the Eighth Route Army, and many people will feel that they have ideas.

Even after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army gathered heavy troops to attack the Central Army, and the attack on the Eighth Route Army seemed relatively relaxed.But in any case, the Eighth Route Army that wiped out the two divisions of the Japanese army is a real thing.

They were obviously the main force of the Anti-Japanese War, but they were not as good as the local troops.Such things, even ordinary people will have ideas, not to mention other foreigners who are concerned about this war of resistance.This point, the attendant believes that Lao Jiang is also clear.

After these words, Lao Jiang really seemed very tangled.For him, apart from the current Eighth Route Army, the rest of the local forces have basically been integrated.This made Lao Jiang feel that he finally had the taste of a country commander.

And his idea of ​​using up the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to consume the rest of the local troops seems to be realized step by step.First, the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army were almost defeated in name only, and most of them were digested and annexed by his Central Army.

The Jinsui army, which was powerful before, is now struggling with only a few small territories left.As for the Guangxi troops represented by Li Zongren, some elites were also mobilized to join this nationwide anti-Japanese battle.

It's just that Lao Jiang still has some worries about the current rapid development of the Eighth Route Army.In addition, the New Fourth Army, which has now controlled southern Anhui, also made Lao Jiang feel that the Eighth Route Army seemed to have become his confidant.

Even if he knows in his heart that now is not a good time for internal fighting.But he still hopes that he can see the little devil and the Eighth Route Army continue to fight and consume.In this way, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he can still occupy an absolute advantage.
