However, these 9 planes hovered over the positions for two weeks, and suddenly dived and bombed the Japanese positions.

"Baga, what's going on?"

"It turned out to be a bomber from the Chinese army?"

"Baga! Call the Imperial Air Force immediately! Shoot down all these damn Huaxia fighter jets!"

The Japanese army's position was in full bloom immediately, thick smoke billowed, and the Japanese army was instantly blinded by the explosion, screaming and fleeing in all directions!

After completing the bombing mission, the national army planes flew over the defenders' positions one after another, flying low and swinging their wings to pay tribute to the brave officers and soldiers who stood firm.

"Haha, great! It's our plane!"

"The little devil has also tasted the pain now!"

"It's so relieved! Well played! Beautifully played!"

"Brothers in the Air Force, you are all doing well!"

"Huaxia will win!"

Army officers and soldiers jumped out of the trench bunkers one after another, raised their guns and took off their hats and cheered. Many soldiers shed tears of excitement.

Although the bombing effect is very limited, the appearance of the Huaxia Air Force for the first time over Taierzhuang still greatly encouraged our soldiers who stood firm, especially the national army officers and soldiers who still stood firm in Pixian, Beiluo, Nigou, Yixian and other places. .

Buzzing, just after the national army planes left, a large number of Japanese bombers and fighter jets rushed to Taierzhuang aggressively!

Chapter 334

"All the anti-aircraft gun positions are there! Fire now! Hit me hard!"

As soon as the devil fleet entered the effective range, the 7 anti-aircraft guns in Tai'erzhuang opened up their firepower, shelling wildly at the devil fleet in the sky for free!

After 2 days of bloody battle, 5 anti-aircraft guns were damaged, 3 were blown up by bombers, and the other 2 were directly hit by Japanese heavy artillery!

"Baga Road! Taierzhuang must be captured today! All troops launch an attack immediately! The first imperial warrior to enter the city will be rewarded with 10 yen!"

After the bombing and shelling were over, Yoshika Ryosuke drew out the Emperor's Imperial Saber, roared ferociously, and started a new siege battle!

"Assault! Taoji change!"

"His Majesty onboard!"

Thousands of Japanese infantry under the cover of tanks and chariots launched a fierce attack on Taierzhuang. After fighting for more than ten days in a row, all the Japanese devils were quite exhausted, and they were largely supported by one breath!

There are two new regiments in Taierzhuang, the morale is like a rainbow, and the individual equipment is armed to the teeth. However, the fortifications of Taierzhuang City are not lightly damaged, and several city walls have collapsed and formed several small gentle slopes!

In addition, heavy firepower such as anti-aircraft artillery, mortars, anti-tank rocket launchers, and heavy machine guns also consumed more than one-third, so the defensive pressure faced was very high!

It was also because of this that the Japanese army saw hope, and today they were preparing to take Taierzhuang with all their might, and invested a brigade in the first wave of attack!

Since the 20th Division and the 5th Division of the Japanese Army joined forces in Zou County yesterday, the Japanese 10th Division and the 22nd Division of the Chinese Huben Army sent [-] troops to Mengyin County in an attempt to attack from the side. Attack Fei County and cut off the connection with the Huaxia Huben Army in Yishui County!

Teng County and Fei County are already in turmoil at this time, facing unprecedented pressure!

The 22nd Army, the Third Army, and the Huaxia Huben Army fought bloody battles with the Japanese army all day long. Both the enemy and us suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese army broke through several outlying positions in Teng County and Fei County one after another!

At dawn this morning, more than 3 infantrymen of the Japanese army, under the cover of fire from aircraft, artillery and tanks, once again launched a full-line attack on Fuji County and Fei County!

3月10日下午5点05分,邳县失守,75军第6师第33团团长陈陈理牺牲,副团长李友兰同时为日军炮火击中殉职。

The deputy division commander Ding Yousong led the remnants to break through the siege, and in the end only a thousand people successfully retreated to the south bank of the canal!

With the fall of Pi County, the pressure on Taierzhuang became even heavier, and the Japanese army could concentrate more troops to attack Beiluo, Nigou, Yixian, Zaozhuang and other defense lines in the north!

If Yixian County and Zaozhuang had already been breached, not only Feixian County, Tengxian County would be under the enemy's back and forth, but Taierzhuang would also be completely surrounded by the Japanese army, turning it into an isolated island surrounded by enemies!

After a whole day of bloody battles in Teng County, Fei County, Linyi and other places, although the main and core positions are still firmly in their hands, the Huaxia defenders have paid a heavy price in casualties!

Especially the 45th Army, which fought in the area of ​​Boundary River and Longshan in the north of Teng County, suffered more than [-] casualties from division commander Chen Li, and killed more than [-] Japanese soldiers!

The battlefield on the northern front was tight, and the defenders on the southern front defending against the Japanese Central China Front Army also suffered heavy casualties!

Especially the 57th Army of Miao Chengliu, the 89th Army of Han Deqin, and the 51st Army of Yu Xuezhong, who are on the front line, and other five theater troops!

"Chief of Staff Xu, what brought you here, we were thinking of calling the commander's headquarters!"

"Commander Yang, Commander Sun, you have worked hard! On behalf of Chief Li, I am here to express my condolences to everyone!"

In the evening, Xu Zuyi drove to the headquarters of Hanjiasi, and Yang Fan, Sun Lianzhong and others lined up to welcome him!

After hesitantly asking for warmth for a while, Yang Fan asked directly with a bit of anger: "Chief of Staff Xu, when will the general attack be made? Why is the time pushed back and forth? What are you waiting for?"

Although he had been mentally prepared, it was another matter to experience it personally, especially after reading a telegram on the statistics of war casualties, Yang Fan still couldn't help being emotional!

It is inevitable for people to have selfishness, but there must be a bottom line in being a person and doing things, and you can't be too ugly!

Yang Fan's original plan was to participate in the Xuzhou battle that attracted worldwide attention on a limited basis: defend the defense zone so that the Japanese army would not dare to go south to Xuzhou unscrupulously!

However, with the changes in the historical trend, the Japanese army concentrated more superior forces ahead of the original history, and the North and South directions of the Fifth War Zone were under tremendous pressure, so Yang Fan had to spend his money and send a large number of troops to assist in the defense of Fei County, Teng County, and Linyi County. And stationed in Taierzhuang to defend!

Although the Huaxia Huben Army is well-equipped and does not lack heavy weapons, the fortifications in these areas are a huge shortcoming, which is not comparable to the reinforced concrete permanent fortifications in their own defense areas!

Facing the continuous onslaught of heavy firepower from Japanese aircraft, artillery and tanks, the limited fortification defenses were destroyed in sevens and eights, and the anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, field guns, mortars, and even heavy tanks all suffered serious losses!

Although the Huaxia Huben Army caused heavy casualties to the Japanese invaders and severely dampened its spirit, the friendly troops and themselves also paid a very heavy price.

Without the support of solid fortifications, if they carry on for another two or three days, the Chinese Huben Army stationed in Taierzhuang, Tengxian, Feixian and Linyi will really be hurt!

Even a 1:1 casualty ratio with the Japanese army is an unacceptable loss-making deal for Yang Fan!

Sun Lianzhong also echoed in a deep voice: "Yes, if you don't make a general attack, it will be difficult to deal with it!"

It has been three full months since it started in mid-December 1937, and the main forces fighting on the front line are almost all "local miscellaneous troops" in the fifth theater!

At first, Li Zongren went to Xuzhou to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater, and there were only more than [-] miscellaneous troops assigned to the Fifth Theater, so the most basic requirement of Chairman Jiang was to defend for three months!

And now the minimum requirements have been met, but the central army has still not formally participated in the war, and the top-line troops are basically miscellaneous troops!

Even though Sun Lianzhong was loyal to the committee wholeheartedly, he couldn't help getting angry at this moment!

If it weren't for Yang Fan to lead his troops to garrison Taierzhuang, even if their 2nd Army can still hold Taierzhuang, there may not be many people left!

"Commander Yang, Commander Sun, please be calm!"

Xu Zuyi smiled, and then said earnestly: "The frontline soldiers are fighting bloody battles, and there are heavy casualties in various battlefields. Chief Li and I are both aware of your efforts and sacrifices, and feel the same pain in our hearts!

Please rest assured that if you persist for at most one more day, a general offensive will be launched across the board. By then, not only will Taierzhuang be relieved of the siege, but it will also create an unprecedented miracle of the War of Resistance, which will greatly boost the hearts and morale of the people!

Therefore, Commander Yang and Commander Sun are also requested to stick to Taierzhuang, the success or failure of the entire battle depends on it! "

Yang Fan focused his eyes and said: "According to the words of Chief of Staff Xu, I will strictly order all departments to stick to it for at least one more day!

But if it is 3:12 am on March 9th!The Central Army has not launched a general offensive until then, so I can't blame me for the serious consequences caused by it! "

Chapter 335 The general attack begins

At 3:12 a.m. on March 8th, the Xuzhou Fifth Theater Command!

"How come this Tang Enbo hasn't moved yet? Is it possible that something bad is going to happen?"

Li Zongren paced anxiously back and forth in the war room, and he could hear the endless rumble of cannons on the other side of the canal from inside the room. He didn't even need to think about it to know that Taierzhuang was already in danger!

At this time, there were only twenty minutes left before Yang Fan agreed on the final attack time.

Li Zongren was really anxious, not only because he knew that Yang Fan could do what he said, but if there was no movement here at 9 o'clock, Yang Fan would really put his burden down and leave!

It is because Tengxian, Feixian, Linyi, Lianyun, Tianchang, Dingyuan, Tianjia'an, Huoqiu and other places are all in a hurry, and the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army has completed the landing and started to advance towards the Longhai Line!

If it is delayed for another day or two, the Japanese North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army are very likely to join forces in the Taierzhuang area!

At that time, not to mention eating the Japanese army in the Taierzhuang area, even the 50 million Chinese troops in the fifth theater will not escape bad luck!

It is no exaggeration to say that the current situation is already in jeopardy, and if you are not careful, all previous efforts will be wasted and you will fall into anti-siege!

"Come on!"

Li Zongren stopped suddenly, and ordered a communications staff officer in an unprecedentedly severe tone:

"Immediately send a telegram to Tang Enbo, telling him that he must launch a full-scale offensive before 9 o'clock, if he violates military law!"

"Yes!"

The communication staff officer saluted solemnly, turned around and left quickly!

"Chief Commander! An urgent call from the commander's headquarters of the theater!"

After reading the telegram, Tang Enbo knew that there was no longer any delay, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Call Chief Li back! Our department will follow the order to launch a general offensive across the board at [-]:[-] am!"

"Report! Appointed to call! Order our department to launch a full-scale attack immediately!"

At this moment, another communication staff officer rushed over.

"Show me!"

Tang Enbo grabbed the telegram immediately, his eyes became extremely sharp, and his energy suddenly came up, and he roared with full of energy:

"I ordered the 4th Division to attack Sihu and Lanjia Lake, the 89th Division immediately attacked Xiangcheng, Lanling, and Lancheng, and the 110th Division directly attacked Nanluo.

The 2nd Division marched into Linyi and cooperated with Zhang Zizhong's troops to annihilate the siege Japanese army!

The 25th Division attacked Pixian County and was responsible for blocking the Japanese army's rout and reinforcements!

All combat troops set out immediately without a moment's delay!I hope that all brothers will work together to kill the Japanese invaders, but those who shrink back and delay the fighters will do so in military law! "

"As ordered! Make sure to complete the mission!"

"If there's anything wrong, come and see me!"

After waiting for so many days, it was finally possible to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders. Guan Linxuan, Wang Zhonglian, Zheng Dongguo, Zhang Yaoming and others were all excited, and solemnly saluted Tang Enbo!

"The military spirit is available! Launch a general attack across the board!"

Looking at the excited and confident expressions of the generals, Tang Enbo couldn't help feeling full of pride in his heart. The 9th and 11th Divisions of the Japanese Army in the Taierzhuang area had a maximum strength of just over [-], and they had already become exhausted divisions!

The 20th Army has more than 7 elite troops, plus the defensive troops everywhere, and the tens of thousands of central troops who are about to cross the canal, they can completely eat up the [-] Japanese troops!

"Order the troops! Immediately build a pontoon bridge, cross the canal by force, and attack Funing!"

"The general attack begins! Immediately build the pontoon bridge!"

"Brothers, Generalissimo Chiang has an order!..."

After receiving the general offensive order, the 8th Army, 27th Army, and 74th Army also began to build pontoon bridges on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal on the spot, destroying the Japanese defenders according to the original plan, and taking responsibility for blocking Japanese reinforcements along the way. Task!

The world-famous Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is the earliest and longest artificial river in the world.

The Grand Canal starts from Beijing in the north and reaches Hangzhou in the south, flows through six provinces and cities including Beijing, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and connects the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River.

In the long years, it mainly experienced three major construction processes. After the Beijing-Han and Jinpu railways were built in the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing government did not care about the fate of the canal and let it fall into disrepair.

The canal is getting narrower and narrower, with a general width of 15-30 meters, and the Japanese army did not set up defensive positions along the way like the Chinese army, so it is not difficult to build a pontoon bridge!

"Damn, I finally waited until this moment!"

After receiving the call, Sun Lianzhong let out a long breath, then stood up and said to Yang Fan, "Commander Yang, I know you have been waiting for this moment too! What do you think we should do now? The little devil should be let out after so long. It's great to taste!"

"Don't worry, the best time has not come yet!"

After confirming the information through aerial reconnaissance, Yang Fan's mood exploded instantly!

Although the current price paid far exceeds expectations, it is still within a controllable range. As long as the main force of the [-] to [-] Japanese troops in the Taierzhuang area is eaten up with a fierce force, the previous sacrifices and efforts will be worthwhile!

After a pause, Yang Fan smiled and said, "However, we can make preparations now! When the Tang army comes over, the little devils will definitely be in chaos. If we fight back across the board, we will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"

Now the little devil's offensive is fierce, and he has already occupied the northeast corner of Taierzhuang. If he counterattacks forcefully at this time, he will definitely pay a heavy price!

I led my troops and the 2nd Army to hold on to the Taierzhuang area for more than ten days, killing and wounding more than 1.4 Japanese soldiers at a heavy price of more than 7500 casualties. This is already very extreme and very worthy of the audience!

There is really no need to try to be refreshing for a while, and make the soldiers under your command pay more unnecessary sacrifices!

"Okay! Everything will be done according to Commander Yang's orders!"

Sun Lianzhong nodded happily. Now the Second Army has only four to five thousand active forces, while the Huaxia Huben Army still has more than 2 elite troops. Of course, Yang Fan is the main one!

"Give power to the defenders in Teng County and Fei County, so that they must hold on until 5 p.m. before leading their troops to break through and retreat! In addition, send a telegram to the 11th and 12th Brigades to send troops to respond!

The special warfare brigade immediately sent troops to Linyi to annihilate the siege Japanese army, and joined the annihilation war against the Japanese army in the Taierzhuang area!

The Flying Tigers and the Helicopter Squadron are ready for battle and will provide air support at any time!

The defense forces at home must guard against death to prevent devils from jumping over the wall in a hurry! "

If you want to play, play it big, Yang Fan once again mobilized 2 elite troops to participate in the final slaughter feast!
