Chapter 334: There must be a bottom line
"All anti-aircraft gun positions are available! Fire the gun immediately! Blast me hard!"
As soon as the Japanese aircraft group entered the effective range, the seven anti-aircraft cannons in Taierzhuang were fully fired, and they were madly bombarded at the Japanese aircraft group in the sky for no money!
After two days of bloody battle, five anti-aircraft guns were damaged, three were blown up by bombers, and the other two were directly hit by Japanese heavy artillery!
"Bagaya Road! Today we must capture Taierzhuang! Each unit will launch an attack immediately! The first Imperial Warrior to attack the city will be rewarded with 100,000 yen!"
After the bombing and shelling were over, Yoshika Ryosuke pulled out the Emperor's Imperial Sword, roared with a ferocious face, and started a new siege battle!
"Assault! Taoci changes!"
"His Majesty the Emperor" is on-load!"
Thousands of Japanese infantry launched a fierce attack on Taierzhuang under the cover of tanks and chariots. They fought for more than ten days in a row. All the Japanese devils were already quite tired, and they were largely supported by one breath!
Two new regiments were replaced in Taierzhuang, with a strong morale and a strong force. The individual soldiers' equipment was even more armed. However, the fortifications in Taierzhuang City were very damaged, and several walls collapsed and formed several gentle slopes!
In addition, more than one-third of the heavy firepower such as war defense artillery, mortar, anti-tank rocket launcher, heavy machine gun also consumes more than one-third, so the defensive pressure is very great!
It is also because of this that the Japanese army saw hope and today they were ready to conquer Taierzhuang even though they were alive. The first wave of attacks was put into the force of a brigade!
Since the Japanese 20th Division and the 5th Division met in Zou County yesterday, they constrained the Japanese 10th Division and 22nd Division of the Chinese Hu Ben Army on the front, and divided 10,000 troops to mongyin County, attempting to attack Fei County from the side and cut off contact with the Chinese Hu Ben Army in Yishui County!
Tengxian and Feixian County are already in turmoil and are facing unprecedented tremendous pressure!
The 22nd Army, the Third Corps and the Chinese Hu Ben Army fought bloody battles with the Japanese army all day long. Both the enemy and us suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese army successively broke through several peripheral positions in Tengxian and Feixian County!
Just as dawn this morning, more than 30,000 Japanese infantry, under the cover of firepower of aircraft, cannons and tanks, launched a full-line attack on Tengxian and Feixian County again!
At 5:05 pm on March 10, Pi County fell, Chen Chenli, the commander of the 33rd Regiment of the 6th Division of the 75th Army, died, and Li Youlan, deputy commander, died of Japanese artillery fire.
Deputy division commander Ding Yousong led the remnants to break through, and in the end, only more than a thousand people successfully retreated to the south bank of the canal!
As Pi County fell, the pressure on Taierzhuang became heavier, and the Japanese army could concentrate more troops to attack Beiluo, Nigou, Yixian, Zaozhuang and other defense lines!
If it is Yi County and Zaozhuang have been captured, not only will Teng County Fei County be attacked from both sides, but Taierzhuang will also be completely surrounded by the Japanese army, turning into an isolated island surrounded by enemies on all sides!
After a whole day of bloody battles in Tengxian, Feixian, Linyi and other places, although the main and core positions were still firmly in their hands, the Chinese defenders paid a heavy price for casualties!
Especially the 45th Army that fought in the area of the Border River and Longshan north of Teng County, more than 2,000 casualties were killed and more than 1,000 Japanese troops were killed!
The battlefield on the northern front was tight, and the defenses on the southern front that resisted the Japanese Central China Front Army were also suffering heavy casualties!
Especially the 57th Army of Miao Chengliu, Han Deqin, and Yu Xuezhong, who are on the front line, are serial troops in the fifth theater, including the 57th Army of Miao Chengliu, Han Deqin, and Yu Xuezhong, and other 51st Army of the Five War Zone!
"Chief Staff Xu, what wind has blown you? We are thinking of calling the Chief Command!"
"Commander Yang, Commander Sun, thank you for your hard work! On behalf of Chief Li, I will come to express my condolences to everyone!"
In the evening, Xu Zuyi drove to the Hanjia Temple command center, and Yang Fan, Sun Lianzhong and others lined up to greet him!
After asking about his well-being for a while, Yang Fan asked directly with a little anger: "Chief Staff Xu, when will the general attack be done? Why are you pushing the time again and again? What are you waiting for?"
Although he was mentally prepared, personal experience was another matter. Especially after reading the statistics of traffic casualties, Yang Fan still couldn't help but feel excited!
It is inevitable that people have selfish intentions, but there must be a bottom line in life and doing things. You cannot be too ugly in eating!
Yang Fan initially planned to participate in the Xuzhou Battle, which attracted worldwide attention on the battlefield, to a limited extent: defending the defense zone made the Japanese army dare not go south to Xuzhou without any hesitation!
However, with the changes in the direction of history, the Japanese army concentrated more advantageous forces ahead of the original history, and the north and south directions of the Five War Zones were under tremendous pressure, so Yang Fan had to spend a lot of money to send a large number of troops to help defend Feixian, Tengxian, Linyi County, and enter Taierzhuang to defend!
Although the Chinese Hu Ben Army is well-equipped and does not lack heavy weapons, the fortifications in these areas are a huge shortcoming and are not as good as the permanent fortifications of the steel and cement in its own defense zone!
Faced with the continuous attack on heavy firepower of Japanese aircraft, cannons, tanks, and limited fortification defense were destroyed. Anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns, field guns, mortars, and even heavy tanks all suffered serious losses!
Although the Chinese Tiger Army caused major casualties to the Japanese invaders, its vigor was also paid a very heavy price.
Without the support of solid fortifications, if we hold on for two or three days, the Chinese Hu Ben Army stationed in Taierzhuang, Tengxian, Feixian and Linyi will be really hurt!
Even if the casualties ratio with the Japanese army was 1:1, it was an unacceptable loss-making deal for Yang Fan!
Sun Lianzhong also echoed in a deep voice: "Yes, if you don't attack the general, it will be difficult to deal with!"
It has been three months since the start of the first line, and the main forces fighting on the front line are almost all "local miscellaneous troops" in the fifth war zone!
At first, Li Zongren went to Xuzhou to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone. Only more than 100,000 miscellaneous troops were assigned to the Fifth War Zone, so Chairman Jiang’s most basic requirement was to defend for three months!
Now the minimum requirements have been reached, but the central direct army has not yet officially participated in the war, and the ones on the front line are basically miscellaneous troops!
Even though Sun Lianzhong was wholeheartedly loyal to the commissioner in the war of resistance, he couldn't help but get angry at this time!
If Yang Fan had not led his troops to station Taierzhuang, even if their Second Army could still defend Taierzhuang, there would probably be few people left!
"Commander Yang, Commander Sun, please be calm!"
Xu Zuyi smiled and said earnestly: "The soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles, and there are heavy casualties on all battlefields. You have made sacrifices and sacrifices. Chief Li and I see them in our eyes, and our hearts are also painful!
Please rest assured. At most, you will be able to launch a general attack on the whole line. At that time, not only can Taierzhuang be able to rescue the siege, but it can also create an unprecedented miracle of the War of Resistance, greatly inspiring the people and morale!
So please commander Yang and commander Sun must stay in Taierzhuang, the success or failure of the entire battle will be here!"
Yang Fan's eyes were fixed and said, "According to Chief Xu's words, I will strictly order all departments to hold on for at least another day!
Chapter completed!
