Take Taobao to fight against Japan

After crossing the Yellow River and exiting Qihe County, the 74th Division stationed in Linyi, directly facing the Japanese-occupied area south of Lingxian County and north of the Tuhai River!

The 81st Division is stationed in Yucheng County, facing the Japanese garrison occupying Pingyuan County!

"Send a report to Chairman Han that our department has arrived in Linyi County and formed an anti-encirclement against the Japanese invaders! Our department will launch an attack on the Japanese army's position across the river tomorrow morning! Also copy the telegram to the Independent Brigade and let them prepare for it Prepare!"

After the 56th Division of the 74th Army entered Linyi, the division commander Li Hanzhang ordered the troops to garrison on the spot, take over the defensive positions of the local security regiment, and called Yang Fan to ask for cooperation!

Chapter 155

Looking at the Japanese army's position across the river and the outline of the city wall of Ling County, Li Hanzhang's mood was a little complicated!

A year and a half ago, Gaomi County was only the defense area of ​​the 74th Division, a barren county with food and grass recruiting soldiers. Over the years, there has been a lot of disputes between the army and the local area because of food, grass and supplies!

However, just a year and a half later, Yang Fan built Gaomi County from scratch into an independent kingdom that cannot be splashed with water, a super economically powerful county that is filthy rich, and a military center with tens of thousands of elite soldiers!

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the 74th Division was ordered to go north to garrison the Yellow River defense line. Most of the original defense areas were taken over by independent brigades and local militia groups!

Today, the independent brigade on the other side of the river has resisted the siege of the devil's elite Class A division and the independent mixed brigade with its own strength. The bloody battle has wiped out more than 10 enemies in 10 days and 7000 nights. Dezhou Heling County is still standing today!

This record is difficult even for a 10-strong group army. Li Hanzhang asked himself that if the 74th Division was relocated, it would be difficult to persist for three days!

Just as Li Hanzhang was facing each other across the river, the Zhanshutang Department of the 81st Division had also arrived in Yucheng County, and was preparing to launch an attack on the Japanese troops in Pingyuan County the next morning!

"Report to the brigade, the 74th Division has arrived in Linyi County, and the troops are preparing to forcibly cross the Shahe River tomorrow morning to attack the Japanese positions south of Ling County!"

"Report to the brigade, the 81st Division will launch an attack on the Japanese army in Pingyuan County tomorrow morning!"

Yang Fan received the telegrams from Li Hanzhang and Zhan Shutang one after another. He nodded in a good mood and said, "It's really time for them to come. If that's the case, let's harass the Japanese devils casually tonight. We will formally launch a general attack to break through tomorrow morning!"

Yun Qichang nodded and laughed loudly: "At last we are looking forward to reinforcements, now we can start to fight back against the little devils, let them know that our Shandong soldiers are not easy to bully!"

The movement of the 74th Division and the 81st Division to successively station in Linyi and Yucheng counties, of course, could not be concealed from the Japanese intelligence agencies, and the relevant intelligence information was passed to Isoya Rensuke immediately.

"Baga, I'd like to see how the hateful Huaxia rats break through! Order the troops to stand firm and never let the independent brigade go back to the mountain!"

Facing the menacing Chinese troops of more than 1, this old devil didn't panic at all, he just casually sent reinforcements to Pingyuan County with a brigade of devils!

Isotani Rensuke is still quite confident in the defensive capabilities of the Japanese army's positional warfare. While maintaining the heavy siege of Ling County in Dexian County, he feels that the Chinese army who came to the rescue can pay a heavy price in casualties!

Moreover, Isotani Rensuke was still deeply longing deep in his heart. The Independent Brigade couldn't bear it and forced a breakout, and then suffered heavy casualties in front of its carefully constructed defensive front!

10月11日凌晨6点，第74师李汉章部率先对沙河对岸的鬼子阵地发起了炮击，第220旅李益智部以蔡家村口的土桥为主攻方向，第222旅马贯一部则是以孙坡枣家村渡口为主攻方向！

There is a small river between Lingxian County and Linyi County. The widest part of the river is more than 40 meters, and the narrowest part is only more than 20 meters. There is only one earth bridge on the river as the main communication between the two counties!

But because of such a small river, the Japanese army's invasion was blocked on the other side of the river, otherwise the Japanese army would have occupied Linyi County long ago!

Also because of this small river, the difficulty factor for the 74th Division to attack the Japanese positions on the opposite bank has increased several times. The 74th Division has no experience in beach landing battles, and it lacks the tools for beach landing ships!

Fortunately, Han Fuju purchased a large number of artillery and firearms from Yang Fan before, and the 74th Division did not suffer too much in terms of weapons and equipment, especially the dozens of field guns equipped with them are extremely sharp!

Facing the 74th Division was an infantry wing, an artillery brigade, and two tank brigades of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army, with a total strength of about 2 people!

As soon as the battle broke out, the artillery positions of the 74th Division on the south bank of the river fired in unison and gunshots rang out. The powerful firepower net directly blasted the Japanese army's forward positions into smoke and dust, and it was impossible to look up for a while!

After nearly half an hour of shelling and firepower, the 439 regiment began to attack the Japanese army on the other side through the earth bridge!

There were no armored tanks to open the way, so the soldiers could only push a few trolleys filled with sandbags and wet cotton wool to rush over. As soon as they got on the bridge, there was a dense metal storm, and the devils' long and short guns and tank anti-aircraft guns opened fire crazily!

The devils have not blown up this earthen bridge, because the devils still want to attack Linyi County through this bridge, and the same vigilante defenders have the same plan without blowing up the bridge!

Relying on their positional advantages, the Japanese army blocked the officers and soldiers of the 74th Division who were crossing the bridge and crossing the river.

The narrow river was blasted into rough waves, the blood of the soldiers stained the river red, and the short 40-meter river became a barrier of life and death!

The 74st Regiment and [-]nd Regiment of the Independent Brigade stationed in Lingxian County will naturally not be idle, and organized two battalions to attack the Japanese positions from the front to cooperate with the [-]th Division's storm crossing battle!

At 84 a.m. on the same day, the 241st Regiment of the 481st Brigade of the [-]th Division launched an attack on the south gate of Pingyuan County.

Since the 84rd Brigade of the 243th Division is being besieged in Dezhou City, the main combat purpose of the 241st Brigade as reinforcements this time is to contain and attract the Japanese defensive forces, not to capture Pingyuan County and open a gap!

So the battle situation looks fierce, but in fact, the casualties of both the enemy and the enemy are not large. To a large extent, they are engaged in local exchange of fire and firepower, and there is no strong charge!

"Since the devils are so big, then we can't indulge them! Order all the troops to attack and go to Ling County to rendezvous, and eat the independent brigades!"

Fighting in Pingyuan County and Ling County was in full swing, but Dezhou City seemed unusually quiet. The devil troops in the north, east and west were as immobile as mountains and stable as old dogs, waiting for the independent brigade to break through forcibly.

Information from various battlefields was transmitted, and Yang Fan carefully analyzed the situation and quickly understood what the little devil was planning:

The Japanese army in Pingyuan County and Ling County held their defensive positions, relying on their advantages in geographical advantage, combat strength of soldiers and weapons and equipment to block and inflict heavy damage on the Chinese troops eager for rescue!

If the Independent Brigade wants to take the opportunity to break out from the north, east, and west, it will inevitably encounter extremely tragic positional warfare and fortified battles. Obviously this is the result that the Japanese army most wants to see!

If the Independent Brigade directly chooses to abandon Dezhou City and go to Ling County, then the Japanese army will definitely follow behind and pursue it. The devils are not afraid to fight head-on with the Independent Brigade in the plains during the day!

When the Independent Brigade and the 243rd Brigade all arrived in Ling County, the devils would inevitably carry out a heavy siege again, greatly limiting the space for the Independent Brigade's activities, which would be more conducive to the Japanese heavy artillery and bombers to exert their power!

In a narrow range, it is extremely difficult for tens of thousands of troops to avoid heavy artillery and bombers, let alone food supplies after a long-term siege!

Isotani Rensuke's wishful thinking was well done, but his cleverness was misunderstood by his cleverness!

Yang Fan is not that easy to calculate, just relying on the independent mixed brigade in the outskirts of Ling County to block the full blow of the independent brigade is simply wishful thinking!

Isoya Rensuke's wishful thinking not only did not make Yang Fan feel worried and troublesome, but instead produced a very exciting and bold idea!

Chapter 156 Desperate Charge

"Director Chen, there is an emergency situation that needs to be reported to you now! Our department is preparing to break out in the direction of Ling County in half an hour. Please make preparations for evacuation as soon as possible!"

After Zhou Hao received Yang Fan's order, he immediately found Chen Bulei, relayed Yang Fan's instructions, and asked Chen Bulei and his followers to go directly to Ling County with the convoy immediately!

The distance between Dezhou City and Ling County is nearly 30 kilometers. If you march all by your legs, it will take at least 4 and a half hours to cross the plain in the middle!

Considering that the Japanese army not only deployed a large number of heavy artillery around, but also called the bomber fleet for air support, Yang Fan decided to use the transport vehicles in Dezhou City and Ling County to transfer personnel and materials, so as to minimize the time for the troops to be exposed to the wild plains!

According to the plan, under the escort of 300 special forces members, the first batch of medical staff, seriously wounded and remaining supplies in Dezhou city went directly to Ling County by car!

At the same time, Ling County will drive all the transport vehicles to the direction of De County to meet all the officers and soldiers who marched on foot!

This time on the front line in Texas, there were originally more than 120 vehicles for the independent brigade troop carriers and baggage vehicles, but more than 30 vehicles were destroyed in the previous devil bombing, so now there are more than 80 vehicles left in total!

Even if each vehicle is overloaded with troops, it can transport up to 4500 people in one round trip. This requires the convoy to go back and forth from Ling County twice. If it goes well, it is estimated that all transfers can be completed within 2 hours!

"Reporting to your Excellency, the division commander, the Huaxia defenders in De County have begun to abandon the city and go to Ling County to gather! And the Huaxia Army in Ling County has sent a large number of transport vehicles to support it!"

The devil's reconnaissance unit, which has been closely observing the movement in De County and Ling County, reported the information to Isoya Rensuke immediately!

"Yoxi, that's true! Immediately order the troops to capture Dezhou City and completely compress the encirclement, and order the artillery to bombard the fleeing Huaxia troops with all their strength. They cannot be easily turned!"

"The 1st Independence and Mixed Brigade must stand firm and besiege the Independence Brigade in Ling County to gather and annihilate them!"

"Immediately, the North China Command requests air force support, and must launch the highest level of carpet bombing against the Huaxia Army in Ling County within 3 hours!"

After receiving the information, Ji Gu Renjie showed joy, and issued a series of combat orders one after another. Although the situation did not develop in the direction he most wanted to see, it was better than the fact that De County and Ling County were hard to chew on each other. a lot.

Isotani Rensuke is very confident in the Japanese aircraft and artillery. As long as the Independent Brigade and the 243rd Brigade are completely within Lingxian County, they can use their powerful firepower and force advantages to launch the strongest attack and annihilate the Independent Brigade in one go!

After abandoning Dezhou City, the Independent Brigade and 243 Brigade gathered towards Ling County as quickly as possible. Before retreating, Yang Fan also ordered the troops to plant a large number of landmines inside and outside Dezhou City and on the retreat road to slow down the speed of the Japanese army's follow-up pursuit!

"There are all artillery positions, the target is the Huaxia fleeing army! Get ready, let it go!"

The Devil Artillery Unit quickly adjusted its shooting, and soon began to attack the Independent Brigade and the 243rd Brigade, which were withdrawing at full speed!

Boom boom boom, shells of various sizes and calibers sprayed out of the barrel, roaring in the air,

Since the Independent Brigade launched night raids every night before, the frontier positions of the Devils were pushed back to 8 kilometers away, and the Devils artillery positions naturally retreated further!

鬼子炮兵野战炮射程最远的75mm野炮也就11公里，105mm野炮为10公里，120mm野战榴弹炮才5.6公里！

Therefore, at this time, the Devil Artillery was cramped temporarily, unable to quickly move the artillery position to approach the shelling, and could only rely on 75mm and 105mm field guns for shelling!

Even so, its range has reached the limit value. Although the sound of the guns continues to make a lot of noise, it is actually quite limited in terms of damage to the rapidly shifting independent brigade and the 243rd brigade!

"Assault from the whole army, kill these Chinese rats!"

"Assault, everyone has it, assault, Tōjigai!"

"Come on, the Great Japanese Empire is on board, His Majesty the Emperor... on board!"

After receiving the order, the devil's chariot and infantry brigade began to rush towards Dezhou and the retreating Chinese officers and soldiers frantically. For a while, it seemed that "it is appropriate to chase the poor with the remaining bravery"!

Boom boom boom, but soon they tasted the power of landmine warfare. Powerful anti-tank mines and anti-infantry mines exploded one after another. Six Devils chariots were directly scrapped, and infantry were killed by hundreds of them!

These days, Yang Fan has already sorted out the minefields laid by the devils, quietly changed the layout, and planted more mines. The devils' eager pursuit will only result in heavy casualties!

"Bageya Road! Order the troops to stop the pursuit immediately, and the engineering troops will immediately enter the field to clear the landmines!"

The old devil, Liansuke Isoya, was once again pissed off. The minefields that were originally used to restrict the encirclement of the Independent Brigade have now become a reminder for the devil's troops!

The devil troops could only slow down the tempo, watching the Huaxia troops fleeing quickly in the distance, completely unable to carry out effective blocking!

After retreating at full speed in less than an hour, Yang Fan led a large force to Ling County!

"It's not rude to come and go, order the troops to launch a general attack on the Japanese Independent Mixed 1st Brigade immediately!

This time we can't be too stingy, use the convoy to open the way for the follow-up troops to keep up, and the mortar and bazooka can blast hard. We must break through the devil's position with the momentum of thunder, and wipe out the devil's vitality as much as possible! "

Although the little devil's shelling and bombing only caused less than a hundred casualties, Yang Fan was still very angry. As soon as he gained a foothold, he ordered the troops to send 40 cars to line up and rush directly to the devil's position!

There is no way, the funds are not sufficient now, and the system has not yet released heavy tanks with strong defense capabilities, so Yang Fan can only use cars as armored vehicles!

Even if these sturdy transport trucks can't charge into the battle, they can at least provide cover for the infantry, so they don't have to fight recklessly against the devil's firepower with their flesh and blood!

"Traveler, please rest assured that the mission will be completed!"

"Kill the little devil! Avenge the brothers!"

The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return!

More than 800 officers and soldiers know that this task is extremely difficult, and they are likely to die for the country, but everyone has no fear!

Everyone has only one belief in their hearts: to break through the encirclement of devils, kill more devils, avenge the dead brothers, and kill a bloody path for the living brothers!

Saluted to Yang Fan resolutely, 40 car drivers and 800 officers and soldiers quickly entered the cab and boarded the carriage!

Immediately afterwards, the car started to start, lined up at the fastest speed and launched a desperate charge towards the Japanese position 10 kilometers away!

The driver gritted his teeth and held the steering wheel, stepped on the gas pedal to death, and moved forward frantically on the rough and uneven dirt ground!

The soldiers on the front of the car squatted halfway at the bottom of the car and grabbed the iron railing of the car car with their hands to prevent casualties from being pierced by the devil's stray bullets through the canvas!

"Brothers, take care!"

Yang Fan saluted solemnly with red eyes, silently praying for them in his heart, and only hoped that they would come back alive!

Chapter 157

"Brothers, go ahead!"

"For victory, for our fellow countrymen, and for the [-] million compatriots!"

"Kill it!"

The 40 cars in the front opened the way to attract firepower, and the 40 full cars in the back carried more than 2000 officers and soldiers followed closely behind, and launched a full charge towards the devil's strong defense line in front!

"Bagaya Road!"

"Shoot, Sasigai, Sacigagai!"

"Get rid of these damn Huaxia pigs for me! Shoot!"

"Shooting, all of them! Tojikai..."

40 cars lined up in a row and crazily rushed forward, and their images rapidly expanded in the retina, just like thousands of troops roaring towards!

The soldiers in the devil's forward position were all dumbfounded. They had no idea that the Independent Brigade would be so insane that they used the car as an armored vehicle to open the way!

Although these cars have no protective armor and cannot resist heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, their forward speed is as high as 10 to 10 kilometers, and it only takes [-] minutes to rush over a short distance of [-] kilometers!

Once the independent brigade is allowed to attack the forward position, it will definitely be a nightmare for the defense line carefully arranged by the devils!

Seeing this, the devil frontline commanders of the 1st independent mixed brigade took out their command knives and ordered the soldiers to start firing frantically to block the independent brigade convoy!

All of a sudden, all kinds of firepower, such as [-] big covers, crooked machine guns, Type [-] heavy machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers, and anti-aircraft guns, spewed out flames, forming a network of extremely powerful firepower. .

However, the 40 car drivers who took the lead had already put their life and death aside, and when they saw the bullets coming, they all bent down to control the cars and continued to drive forward against the hail of bullets!

Clinking, countless bullets hit like a torrential rain, shattered the windshield, penetrated the engine of the front of the car, got into the inside of the car body, and punched the front of the car full of holes!

Thanks to the high-quality products produced by the system, these transport trucks are very solid and high-quality, and the firepower of bullets alone will not be able to stop their advancement at all!

The fighters in the rear compartment were all prostrate on the ground, allowing the extremely fast and bumpy car body to hit their bodies, enduring great pain and holding on to the steel guns, ready to fight life and death at any time!
