Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Once Xuzhou and Wuhan are conquered, this game of chess will come to life completely, and our Great Japanese Empire will conquer China and dominate the Asia-Pacific and even the world just around the corner! "

After finishing speaking, Hata Toshiroku looked forward to it, this time to succeed Iwane Matsui as the Central China Army, this is a golden opportunity for him to make contributions, and he will never miss it!

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army is on board!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

As soon as Jun Hata finished speaking, Tsukada Ko, Akira Muto, Yoshika Ryosuke and others raised their arms and shouted frantically, all of them had ferocious smiles on their faces.

2月27日，日军第9师团和第11师团主力部队悉数抵达灌云县周边，离第59军驻扎的陇海铁路线只剩下最后50里！

Chapter 325 Bloody Battle

On the evening of February 2, the artillery, iron frame convoy and anti-aircraft artillery deployed by the 27th Division arrived at Taierzhuang South Station one after another.

同日，为了使徐州会战稳操胜券，军事委员会又命令集结于武汉附近的黄杰第8军、刘兴第27军、俞济时第74军、宋希濂第78军、李汉魂第64军火速向徐州地区增援。

In the early morning of February 2, the 28th Division and the 9th Division moved northward to attack Xin'an Town, Donghai and Lianyun.

The total strength of the Japanese army exceeded 4, with more than 120 large and small tanks, more than 150 mountain artillery, field artillery, and heavy artillery, and there were aircraft in the sky to assist in the battle.

All bridges and roads that are beneficial to the Chinese army were bombed by Japanese aircraft.

The 38th Division of Huang Weigang and the 20nd Army of Guan Linxuan of the 52th Corps stationed in the East China Sea followed the original plan to lure the enemy deep into the enemy.

However, Liu Zhensan's 180th Division stuck to Lianyun and fought a life-and-death battle with the Japanese army.

Because the geographical location of Lianyungang is quite critical, if it is lost, the Japanese army can use Lianyungang as a supply line for the "Battle of Xuzhou", which will have a major impact on the entire Battle of Xuzhou.

Niushan Island outside Lianyungang was occupied by the Japanese army on September 1937, 9. When the 13th Division of the Japanese Army launched a fierce attack on Lianyungang, the Japanese marines and gunboats attacked and bombarded Lianyungang along the east coast!

Fortunately, Yang Fan had assisted the 59th Army with a large number of automatic weapons and heavy firepower before. Although the 180th Division attacked from both sides, under the leadership of Liu Zhensan, the officers and soldiers of the whole division and the Japanese army fought in Sunjiashan, Xiaoxizhuang, Haitouwan, Wutiaogou, and the tip of the big mast. Fighting to the death, so that the Japanese army could not cross the thunder pool half a step!

与此同时，日本华中方面军13师团、第16师团、第101师团喜、第6师团、第114师团、第110师团，对合肥、霍邱、田家庵、凤阳、临淮关、盱眙等地开始全线猛攻，在牵制华夏军队的同时力求有所突破。

The 5th Division, 20th Division, 10th Division and 22nd Division of the Japanese Army also began to launch full-scale attacks on the Huaxia Huben Army Defense Zone, Fei County, Teng County, and the Third Army respectively!

All of a sudden, the entire Fifth War Zone became turbulent, and dozens of battlefields, large and small, both the enemy and the enemy were red-eyed, and the number of casualties continued to rise!

On March 3, the Japanese army divided into three groups and continued northward, killing Linyi, Pixian and Sihu respectively!

Linyi is an important place in southern Shandong. Taking Linyi will not only cut off the direct connection between the Huaxia Huben Army and the Fifth Theater, but also further intimidate Fei County and Teng County, forming a north-south pincer attack with the Banyuan Division!

And Pi County and Sihu are the gateways to Taierzhuang, and they are also strongholds that the Japanese army is bound to win!

Although the fifth war zone has formulated a plan to lure the enemy into deep, and set up a large encirclement around Taierzhuang, it does not mean that the elite troops of more than 4 devils must be placed directly near Taierzhuang to start fighting!

The 9th and 11th Divisions of the Japanese Army are in full swing, and they cannot be eaten by just drawing a circle on the map. They must resist step by step and consume their vigor and vitality.

Therefore, the 59th Army and the 75th Army stationed in Linyi, Pi County and Sihu all fought to the death, and they stubbornly blocked the attacking Japanese army!

Shandong Teng County.

Yun Qichang was ordered to garrison Fei County with the Third Army. When he entered Fei County, he had several small-scale firefights with the Guoqi detachment.

What followed was a few days of peace. Yun Qichang thought that there were really no more battles to fight, but he did not expect that the Guoqi detachment seemed to have a convulsion yesterday morning, and the troops were divided into three groups to attack Shiqiaozhuang Village and Dawa Village in Fei County , The Hengliangshan defense line launched a fierce attack.

The Yunqichang Department and the Pang Army Corps cooperated in defensive operations, and fought fiercely with the Japanese Kunisaki Detachment for a whole day, and the Japanese army could not make an inch of progress!

At dawn this morning, the Japanese army launched another attack under the cover of aircraft and tanks!

After fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in Dawa Village for four hours, Yun Qichang took advantage of the exhaustion of the Japanese army and ordered the tank and armored troops to attack, followed by a battalion of infantry to countercharge the Japanese army.

Defeated the 21st Wing of the Japanese Army in one fell swoop, destroyed 6 Japanese tanks, killed more than 160 Japanese soldiers, and completely stabilized the defense line of Dawa Village!

The defense line of Shiqiaozhuang Village and Hengliang Mountain is a mountainous terrain, and it is impossible to use armored troops, so it is more difficult to fight!

After two days of fierce fighting, more than 380 people were killed in the Pang Army, 52 were killed in the Huaxia Huben Army, and more than 500 were killed in the Japanese Army!

At the same time, the 22nd Group Army of Fuji County, with the help of the two regiments led by Xie Kangquan, withstood the repeated storms of the Japanese 21st Brigade. In two days, the Sichuan Army killed more than 420 people, and the Huaxia Huben Army killed 67 people!

The 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army paid more than 600 lives!

Generally speaking, the Itagaki Division's offensive strength is not too strong, but the pressure on Teng County and Fei County is not small!

The Huaxia Huben Army defense area was also not immune. The devils attacked Jiaoxian, Gaomi, Anqiu, Yishui and other counties piecemeal more than 40 times!

Rao Yang Fan's family has a great career, and it seems a bit stretched at this time. Except for the special warfare brigade and the 4th Division, there are still troops to maintain mobility. Except for the necessary defensive troops, the other troops basically have no spare energy to take care of others!

The third army was under the greatest pressure, especially Sun Tongxuan's 12th army almost wiped out a division, and the 55th army had more than 4000 casualties!

Under the full attack of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, the Third Army now only has three defense areas: Cao County, Dingwu County and Chengwu County!

If the 20th Division continues to maintain the current offensive intensity, it will take at most ten days to lose all casualties. Unless it is withdrawn to Henan for rest, or reinforcements arrive, otherwise the designation will really be revoked!

On March 3, Taierzhuang Hanjia Temple Headquarters!

"Now it's finally our turn to play!"

Standing on the south bank of the canal, Yang Fan could already hear the endless rumble of guns, and the Japanese army was only one step away from Taierzhuang!

Although there were 200 tanks and 148 anti-aircraft guns from the 72th Division, as well as heavy weapons such as anti-tank rocket launchers and anti-aircraft guns provided by Yang Fan, the Japanese army concentrated a large number of Type 97 medium tanks and large-scale bombing by aircraft. Huhu, Xiangcheng, Aiqu, Lanling, Dige and other places fell one after another!

The northeast direction of Taierzhuang has been completely exposed in front of the Japanese army. Tengxian, Feixian, Lianyungang, Pixian, and Linyi were surrounded and continuously attacked by the Japanese army, and they have not yet fallen!

It's just that after a few days of bloody battles, the 2nd Army, 59th Army, and 75th Army paid an extremely heavy price for casualties, and nearly ten thousand bloody Chinese men spilled blood on the battlefield!

In addition, after more than ten days of bloody battles, the Third Army finally received an order to retreat, and the remnants retreated to Henan Minquan on the evening of March 3!

Since then, all places in Shandong have fallen except for the Huaxia Huben Army Defense Zone, as well as Teng County, Fei County, Yi County, Pi County, Linyi County, and Tancheng County!

Chapter 326 The King of Hell

"The chief seat!"

At this time, Gu Liangmin quickly walked up to Yang Fan, saluted Yang Fan and said solemnly:

"Boss, please allow me to take the brothers of the 46th Regiment to Taierzhuang. We vow to fight the Japanese devils to the end! People live in the city, and people die in the city!"

Kong Xiangsheng, the head of the 46th Regiment, saluted and said, "I would like to ask the chief to approve! It is our duty to protect our family and our country!"

华夏虎贲军第46团是原第三集团军22师66旅130团整编成的3000人加强团，杨帆考虑到他们战力稍弱，便没有放在第一波防御！

However, these days, Gu Liangmin and others have been restless like ants on a hot pot, unable to eat or sleep well!

Because they have seen too many casualties and sacrifices, they have seen batch after batch of the Second Army reserve team continue to enter the battlefield across the pontoon bridge, and they have also seen a large number of seriously wounded with missing arms and legs. return!

Brothers from the friendly army were bleeding on the front line and suffered heavy casualties. There are four reinforced regiments and one tank company with a total of more than 1 people on their side. ?

Especially when those newspaper reporters ran to the Huaxia Huben Army camp again and again, when they questioned Gu Liangmin and others face to face, everyone blushed with shame, wishing there was a crack in the ground to get in!

But the military order is like a mountain, without Yang Fan's order and approval, no matter how much anger and shame there is, Gu Liangmin and others can only hold back first!

Now that the devils are about to hit Taierzhuang, Gu Liangmin and the others can't hold back anymore!

Yang Fan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry! If you want to fight, there are opportunities! Taierzhuang is a big chess game, and it won't end in a few days! You have to be patient and deploy defenses on the south bank, just be ready for battle at any time!"

At present, there are two regiments of the Huben Army deploying defenses in Taierzhuang, plus the 186th Reinforced Regiment of the Second Army, the total strength of the first wave of defense is over 1!

For the other two regiments, Yang Fan was placed on the south bank of the canal as a reserve force!

This is mainly because Taierzhuang is not big enough, and there are too many people, but it can't be used, and it is easy to suffer from the devil's intensive artillery fire and bomber groups!

Sharpening knives and chopping firewood, Yang Fan did not watch the fire from behind these days. He not only built dozens of bunkers in Taier City Village, but also dug many air-raid bunkers and underground passages, stockpiled enough weapons and ammunition, and erected them. Radar, telephone communication network and other supporting facilities have been installed!

After completing the construction and reinforcement of the military fortifications in Taierzhuang, most of the engineering regiment and construction personnel were transported back to Gaomi by helicopter, leaving only the engineering company with more than [-] people on the south bank for emergencies!

"President, please don't worry, we guarantee that you will come when you are called, and those who come can fight, and those who fight will win!"

Gu Liangmin and Kong Xiangsheng saluted again and looked at Yang Fan eagerly.

"Hurry up, everyone, Yang Fan is right ahead!"

"Yes, we must ask him to give us an explanation today!"

At this moment, a group of young men and women who looked like reporters swarmed from a distance!

As soon as Xu Shigang, a reporter from the Central News Agency ran up to him, he questioned in a bad tone:

"Commander Yang, I want to ask when will your Huaxia Huben Army be willing to go out to fight devils? Please give us a clear answer today!"

"Sorry, this is a military secret, so I have nothing to say!"

Yang Fan glanced at Xu Shigang, knowing that he must have been assigned to question him again, so he used an official term very bluntly!

Because at the beginning, Yang Fan made it clear that the chariots and horses listened to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi and did not listen to the announcement: this time he came here only to stick to Taierzhuang and protect the north gate of Xuzhou, as for other combat orders, don't come!

Therefore, both the Commander of the Fifth Theater Command and Generalissimo Jiang can only stare at him, and have no way to tell him what to do!

However, the Little Devil's Central China Front Army and North China Front Army gathered nearly 30 troops and launched a multi-line attack on the entire fifth theater.

So many people couldn't hold back any longer, and they all hoped that Yang Fan would make a strong move and make all the previous brilliant achievements again!

The devil likes to see little ghosts as difficult to deal with, and it is not easy for the big people above to put pressure on him directly, so using the news and public opinion to force Yang Fan to take action has become the best option.

Xu Shigang's complexion darkened, and he retorted bitterly: "Commander Yang, you only want to preserve your strength in the face of a national crisis, and Han Fuju's lesson from the past is right in front of you. Don't tell me you want to end up with him?"

"What did you say? You bastard, do you have the guts to say it again? Our chief and my brothers from the Huaxia Huben Army, can you just slander you? Believe it or not, I will kill you with a single shot?"

Before Yang Fan could open his mouth, Liu Qiang couldn't help it. He grabbed Xu Shigang's neckline and raised his pistol to Xu Shigang's forehead in a murderous spirit!

You can say whatever you want, but if you dare to personally attack Yang Fan, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, you can’t do it!

"..."

Gu Liangmin and Kong Xiangsheng glared at each other with anger, but they couldn't refute it with words!

"What are you going to do? Is there any royal law?"

Xu Shigang was suddenly terrified, trembling all over, and his face became extremely pale!

"Don't mess around, let people go!"

"We are journalists and have the right to conduct any interview!"

"Commander Yang, how can you Huaxia Huben Army bully others?"

The journalists next to him were all dumbfounded, and then shouted in a hurry.

"Liu Qiang, let him go! Let's stand upright and not be afraid of the shadow! Go our own way and let others say it!"

Yang Fan waved his hand, he focused on the overall situation and power, how could he have the time to care about these little people!

"This time it's cheap for you! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I don't care who you are!"

Liu Qiang gave Xu Shigang a hard look, and then pushed the little white-faced reporter in front of him to the ground.

Woo~woo~woo~

At this moment, there were bursts of sharp air defense sirens in Taierzhuang.

"Hurry up!"

"Damn it!"

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, hide for a while before talking!"

When the journalists heard the severe air defense siren, they panicked all of a sudden, and they no longer had the mind to interview and question Yang Fan, so they quickly ran away in twos and threes!

"Boss, the devil plane is coming again! This place is too dangerous, please return to the headquarters as soon as possible!"

Gu Liangmin subconsciously looked towards the eastern sky!

These days the devil planes really haven't stopped, almost two or three times a day, and every time they come, there are a large group, no longer as arrogant as before!

It seems that the Devils Aviation Corps was frightened by the Flying Tigers of the Chinese Huben Army, and no longer dared to just bomb the fleet, with a large number of fighter jets escorting it every time!

And Yang Fan, in order not to expose himself in advance, but also to hold back his big moves in order to accumulate strength, so he has been holding back and not pulling out the Flying Tigers to fight in the air!

Just bombarded 5 Devil planes sporadically with anti-aircraft guns, which made the Devils not dare to conduct too rampant low-altitude intensive bombing, which greatly weakened the bombing effect!

Chapter 327 The Great War Begins

"It seems that the devil is in a hurry! Just after taking down Nanluo and Liujiahu, he rushed to attack Taierzhuang! Let's go, let's avoid the limelight!"

Facing the hordes of Devil bombers, Yang Fan naturally wouldn't hold back!

The devil's aerial bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms are not vegetarians, and even the permanent reinforced concrete fortifications built inside and outside Taierzhuang City cannot withstand tossing, let alone flesh and blood.

So these days, the officers and soldiers of the Huaxia Huben Army Engineering Corps have been busy, and some bunkers have been repaired five or six times back and forth!
