The combat hall of the Wuhan High Command is now brightly lit!

Chairman Jiang, Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, Gu Zhutong and other high-level leaders are discussing the situation of the Xuzhou battle nervously in front of the large sand table and military map!

Bai Chongxi drew a circle on the map with a wooden stick and said: "Currently we have gathered more than 40 troops in the Xuzhou area, while the Japanese North China Front Army and Central China Front Army have nearly 30 troops!

Although they were divided into north and south parts, the Japanese 5th Division, 20th Division, and the Japanese 10th Division are now fully advancing towards Fei County, Teng County, and Yishui County!

Once the Japanese army breaks through Fei County and Teng County, the North and South Japanese troops will join forces around Taierzhuang, and the situation will fundamentally collapse at that time!

So I suggest launching a general offensive as soon as possible, and first eat the 9th Division and part of the 11th Division gathered near Taierzhuang! "

Gu Zhutong interjected: "I don't think the best time for a general offensive has been reached yet. The Japanese army is rushing to attack Taierzhuang, Linyi, Lianyungang, and Pi County. We can take advantage of the Japanese army's eagerness for success and continue to consume the Japanese army's energy and energy by relying on fortifications." Vitality!"

Chen Cheng nodded and said: "If it can consume another two or three days, the chances of winning will be even greater. There are now nearly [-] elite devil troops in the Taierzhuang area! At this time, the general offensive will start. Whether Tang Enbo's army can eat such a large piece of meat in one bite is a big question. The problem!"

"There is nothing wrong with the truth! But the risk is too great, and it is simply to take a chestnut out of the fire!"

Bai Chongxi didn't see it through, and just sighed softly: "If Yang Fan hadn't sent troops to Teng County, Fei County, and Linyi many times, the northern defense line would have been overwhelmed long ago!

And the Japanese devils are not stupid, at most three days, there will be new divisions going north for reinforcements!At that time, if you want to cross the river to intercept and stop the Japanese army, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult! "

"Then let's consume it for two days! If we continue to struggle, aren't the Japanese also struggling? We can't beat the Japanese in field battles, so we can only use defensive warfare to consume them!

The Huaxia Huben Army has always been known for its good defense. With their strength, they can block the Japanese North China Front Army! "

After pondering for a while, Generalissimo Jiang took a picture of the board!

In the Battle of Songhu, Generalissimo Jiang's troops from the Central Committee, which had been trained so hard, lost all their casualties, and they have not yet recovered their vitality. Naturally, he did not want Tang Enbo's army to come out to fight the Japanese army now!

If it can make Huaxia Huben, the 22nd Army, the Third Army, and the 27th Army and other local troops consume more of the Japanese army's vitality!

Then the 8th Army, the 27th Army, and the 74th Army and other direct troops crossed the canal to cut and intercept the Japanese army, and then Tang Enbo's army attacked fiercely to eat up the Japanese army with only half their lives left. That is naturally the most ideal combat effect!

Chapter 332

Woo~woo~woo~

The next morning at dawn, Gaomi, Jiaoxian, and Zhucheng.Severe air defense alarms sounded in Taierzhuang, Linyi, Tengxian, Rizhao and other places!

It didn't take long for a large number of devil air forces to appear in the sky over Taierzhuang, Linyi, Tengxian, and Feixian one after another!

After fighting hard for more than ten days in a row, paying a very heavy price, but not getting the desired result, the little devils in North China and Central China are starting to worry!

Not only did more than 210 carrier-based aircraft take off at sea today, Jinan Airport also dispatched more than 150 bombers and fighter jets to bomb Linyi, Taierzhuang, Pi County, Fei County and Teng County at the same time in five groups!

Chirp chirp chirp, heavy aerial bombs fell from the sky with a fierce roar, and soon exploded on the ground. The super explosive power crushed all the surrounding bricks, tiles, buildings, and flesh and blood, and a large area was blown to pieces. !

Puffs of thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of blood filled the air. Under such high-intensity bombing, not only the fortifications were severely damaged, but many Chinese officers and soldiers died heroically!

The air defense units of the Chinese Huben Army in Taierzhuang, Tengxian, Feixian, Linyi and other places will naturally not allow the Japanese fleet to bomb indiscriminately!

The officers and soldiers of the air defense force fought against the fierce bombing of the Japanese army with full firepower. After a bloody battle, they shot down more than ten Japanese aircraft again!

"Assault! Taoji change!"

"His Majesty the Emperor onboard!"

"The Great Japanese Empire is on board!"

"The Great Japanese Imperial Army is on board!"

After the bombing by planes and artillery, groups of little devils began to attack under the cover of tank troops.

The Chinese defenders in various positions quickly entered the position, pulled the bolt to adjust the barrel, and waited quietly for the arrival of the Japanese army.

Because the Japanese army was eager to take Taierzhuang, after conquering Liujiahu, Lancheng, Nanluo and other places, only one unit was left to monitor Beiluo, and they couldn't wait to attack Taierzhuang with all their strength, so Beiluo, Nigou, Yixian, Zaozhuang and other places Still in the hands of the Second Army!

At 3:9 a.m. on March 9, when Gao Hongli, the commander of the 20rd Battalion of the 91rd Regiment of the 783st Brigade, arrived near Liujia Lake, he suddenly found a Japanese artillery position in a small forest three or four miles northeast of the village. There are about 20 guns shooting at Taierzhuang frantically.

Gao Hongli is a soldier of peasant origin, with a strong personality and brave in battle.

Gao Hong immediately gathered the whole battalion in the wheat field, pointed at the small pine forest, and said:

"Brothers, the shells that bombed my Taierzhuang were all fired from here. I want to lead you to take back all the more than 10 cannons. Shasha devil's prestige, do you dare?"

When the soldiers heard what he said, the ball of fire in their hearts rushed up all of a sudden, and they all roared in hatred: "Take it back! Blow it up!"

Gao Hongli shook off his hat suddenly, took off his cotton military uniform and shirt, and threw them on the ground. He held a pistol in his left hand, and raised a shining big knife in his right. He spoke loudly to the soldiers again. shouted:

"Brothers, those who follow me to grab the cannon must be like me, take off your shirt and follow me, dare you?"

"dare!"

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers stripped off their upper bodies, each with a big knife and eight grenades, and under the leadership of Battalion Commander Gao, they rushed towards the small pine forest like a tide.

Seeing this scene, the Japanese artillery team was terrified. While blocking with their rifles, they pulled out their artillery carts and turned around to flee eastward.

"Come on, brothers! Kill all the little devils!"

The officers and soldiers of the Gao Battalion pursued frantically amidst the sound of killing.

At this time, more than a thousand infantrymen and more than 20 tanks of the Japanese army suddenly appeared in the north. Seeing that their artillery was being chased by the Chinese army and running wildly in the wheat field, the Japanese tanks rushed towards Battalion Commander Gao's troops.

The Chinese officers and soldiers did not have the weapons to fight tanks, so they were quickly dispersed by the Japanese army, and they fought together with the Japanese infantry on their own battlefields.

Wang Yubin, head of the 185th regiment, heard the news and led the battalion to rush for reinforcements, so a larger-scale hand-to-hand battle began in the wheat field.

The sound of shouts, gunshots, roar of tanks and the clash of bayonets merged into one.

The two sides fought bloody battles for two hours. When the brigade commander Nie Zibin came to the rescue, the thigh of the commander Wang Yubin was pierced by a bullet, and the commander of the battalion Gao Hongli was injured in the head. Both the commanders of the first and second battalions were killed. more than half.

In the gloomy daylight, a pair of big knives flashing coldly swished on the devils' heads, hacking the devils so that they couldn't parry, and they abandoned their guns and fled.

In this extremely tragic hand-to-hand combat, although the 185th regiment paid a huge price, and more than one-third of the soldiers died, it slowed down the rhythm of the Japanese army's attack on Taierzhuang and strongly supported the defense of Taierzhuang!

Fuji County!

今天拂晓,第5师团坂本支队步兵、第20师团39旅团、骑兵28联队、野炮兵26联队,1.3万余人在50多辆坦克、40多架飞机掩护下,对藤县外围第一线阵地再次发起全面进攻!

Division Wang Shijun, Division Chen Li of the 22th Army of the 47nd Group Army and the 22nd Regiment of the Huaxia Huben Army bravely faced the enemy with their fortifications, and launched a life-and-death battle with the Japanese army!

Due to the concentration of a large number of heavy firepower and superior forces by the Japanese army, although the Sichuan army has received a lot of supplementary weapons, there is still a big gap in front of the elite Japanese troops armed to the teeth!

However, the Sichuan army has been fighting the Japanese army for a whole month with simple weapons and equipment. So far, there are less than 22 people left in the [-]nd Army!

If it weren't for Yang Fan's great help, Teng County would have fallen half a month ago, but even so the situation is not optimistic. After many days of bloody battles, the number of casualties of the Huaxia Huben Army stationed in Teng County reached as many as 2000, of which more than 600 were killed. !

On March 3th, the Huaxia garrison in Tengxian County and the Japanese army fought fiercely again for a whole day. Before dark, the Chuxiangcheng, Xiakanbu, Baishan, Huangshan and other positions were partially occupied by the Japanese army.

In the evening, Sun Zhen arrived in Teng County by train, and inspected the situation at various front lines, and then held a meeting of officers above the regiment level to convey the order of Chairman Jiang:

"At least stick to Teng County for three days to delay the enemy's army, and wait for the rear Longhai Railway to transfer reinforcements to consolidate Xuzhou!"

Fei County and Linyi Huaxia defenders also struggled for a whole day!

The Pang Army Corps stationed in Fei County suffered heavy casualties and lost many outlying positions. Yun Qichang used tanks and armored forces to launch multiple counter-charges with the Japanese army and launched a field tug-of-war with the Japanese army. He regained the lost positions at a heavy price and severely damaged the The 40th Brigade of the Japanese Army!

Zhang Zizhong's Department in Linyi County and two infantry regiments of the Chinese Huben Army, relying on dilapidated city walls and defensive positions, withstood dozens of Japanese attacks, killing more than 1200 Japanese soldiers in one day, and more than 1600 of them themselves!

The 75th Army stationed in Pi County suffered even more casualties. The city wall had already been blown down several sections by the Japanese army.

If there is no reinforcements, it will not be possible to survive tomorrow!

"Immediately send another telegram to Tang Enbo, asking him to launch a general attack on the Japanese army in the Taierzhuang area before ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"

After reading the battle reports sent from various places, Li Zongren looked very dignified. The original plan was to launch a general offensive this morning, but Tang Enbo urged him many times, but he never responded positively!

Chapter 333

"Report! Officer Li is calling!"

Soon, Tang Enbo received the telegram, and after reading the telegram, he said: "Call Commander Li back, saying that the enemy's traces have been found in the rear of our troops, and the time for a decisive battle is not ripe yet!"

"The chief seat!"

As soon as Tang Enbo finished speaking, Guan Linxuan, the commander of the 52nd Army, couldn't help saluting and said loudly: "Boss! Don't miss this opportunity! If the boss is still unwilling to make a general attack, I am willing to lead the brothers of the 52nd Army. Fight to the death with the Japanese invaders!"

Tang Enbo glared unhappily, tried his best to suppress his anger and said, "Commander Guan, you are going too far!"

"Boss!..."

Guan Linxuan still wanted to plead for orders with his neck stuck, but Wang Zhonglian who was beside him grabbed him with his hand and said:

"Yudong, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. If you expose the position of our army's main force in advance, it will ruin the big thing!

There are still [-] to [-] Japanese troops in front of us, and we have little chance of winning if we attack now. Even if we try our best to eat most of the devils, we will only be seriously injured!

We can't let the hard work of the delegates go to waste again! "

"Ugh!"

Guan Linxuan sighed heavily, what else could he say at this time!

3月9日夜,杨帆出于多方面考虑,趁着夜色让后方等待多日的32团和46团进城换防,让血战两日的第5团和第29团撤到南岸休整!

The total number of deaths in the two regiments reached more than 300 people, and the number of casualties due to injuries was as high as more than 800 people. It is indeed time to come down and take a rest!

The other two regiments have been holding back for so long, so they have to go to the field to practice their hands. Elite soldiers are not formed by training, but by many tough battles and bloody battles!

Gu Liangmin and the others finally got their wish, they happily crossed the pontoon bridge and went to the city to change defenses in an orderly manner. Apart from being happy, they were excited, but there was no fear at all!

In order to allow the two regiments to quickly get started and exert their maximum combat effectiveness, the 5th and 29th regiments also left two to three hundred elite veterans to explain the essentials of defensive warfare and provide tactical guidance in actual combat!

"Master Miao, Commander Hao, Commander Tian, ​​Commander Wang, and all the defenders have worked hard! This is the sympathy item that the people in the rear entrusted us to send to you!"

Xia Yu, Xie Bolian and other journalists also followed into the city, and while sending out various condolence items in their hands, they took pictures and interviewed them at the same time, making the scene extremely grand and lively!

"Boss, when can our tank troops go out for a breath of air?"

At this time, Zhou Hao found Yang Fan. They have been waiting for news in the underground air-raid shelter in the city for the past few days!

"Don't worry! It depends on when they launch a general attack!"

This time when he came to Taierzhuang, Yang Fan brought all the tanks in his family, but there were only 12 tanks, and he could not form a crushing advantage at all, so he prepared steel and used it on the blade, and he would not pull them out until the decisive battle!

"Okay! Let's bear with it!"

Zhou Hao nodded. He was absolutely confident in the fighting power and defense power of his own tanks, but it didn't mean that the dozen or so tanks were really invincible. After all, there is a saying that "there are too many ants to kill an elephant." !

"Report! Japanese troops were found digging trenches 500 meters in front of the North Gate!"

"Report! There are Japanese soldiers digging tunnels right in front of the east gate!"

"Report! Simon..."

As soon as the troops changed their defenses, the officers and soldiers stationed on the city wall found that the Japanese army began to dig trenches and tunnels outside the city in the dark!

It turned out that after two days of onslaught, the 9th Division of the Japanese Army paid a heavy price and only captured the North Railway Station that had already been turned into ruins. Taierzhuang was still impenetrable!

The Japanese army wanted to come out and dig a tunnel, approaching the city wall of Taierzhuang from below the surface!

Although the sky is completely dark at this time, it is difficult to see clearly from ten meters away under normal circumstances, but the Huaxia Huben Army with night vision goggles can see a figure moving hundreds of meters away!

"Immediately order the artillery to fire to prevent the Japanese army from digging tunnels! The snipers wait for the opportunity to kill the devils! Don't let them get too close"

After pondering for a while, Yang Fan decided to directly use cannons instead of dispatching troops to counterattack!

The terrain outside the city is open, and if the troops attack, it is easy to be shot by the Japanese army. The income and expenditure are not directly proportional, so it is better to consume more shells!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

After receiving the order, the artillery units fired test shots one after another, and quickly adjusted their shooting elements, and the shells landed among the devils with incomparable accuracy!

"Ah, no, it was discovered!"

"Help!"

"Baga! Withdraw quickly!"

"Bagaya Road!"

These ordinary trenches and tunnels can't prevent shells at all. Even if they are not directly blown into the sky, they will be shattered by the violent explosion shock wave!

Dozens of shells went down, not only blowing up most of the trenches and tunnels dug by the devils, but the little devils inside were also killed and injured.

Just like this, the Japanese army's plan to dig a tunnel to "pass through the old warehouse secretly" went bankrupt!

In order to boost morale, the fifth war zone once again requested the Military Commission to send planes to "symbolically participate in the war" on the Xuzhou battlefield, that is, it was not required to undertake the task of defending Xuzhou city, nor was it required to cooperate with the army in long-term operations. Several demonstration bombings!

After careful consideration, Commissioner Jiang finally approved the request!

In the early morning of March 3, the roar of aircraft motors came from the sky near Taierzhuang.After a while, 10 silver eagles appeared in the blue sky.

The Japanese troops on the ground thought it was their planes coming to help, so they waved the sun flag one after another to mark the position of the Chinese army on the front line.
