Chapter 241: Haizhou is in emergency (5,000-word chapter)

That night, the night was filled with night, and the dark night enveloped the entire Three Realms Town. The already desolate and desolate Three Realms Town seemed even more silent, as if the whole earth was in a deep sleep.

In the station, two searchlights looked particularly dazzling in the dark night. In the fortifications under the searchlights, several Japanese soldiers were gathered to chat, but only two Japanese in charge of searchlights were on duty.

In the fields outside the town, more than a hundred New Fourth Army soldiers were quietly approaching the Sanjie Town Station with the cover of night.

Whenever the Japanese searchlights came, all the New Fourth Army soldiers were lying alertly in the deep wheat field deep at their knees. After the snow beam emitted by the searchlights turned, they quietly stood up and hugged and continued to approach forward.

In the crowd, the commander of this unit, Lin Sihai and squadron instructor Wu Kun, brought several machine guns to carry the mg34 general machine guns given to them by the Hu Ben Army, were quietly following up. Lin Sihai held a twenty-shot in his right hand and looked around the surrounding terrain.

When Lin Sihai brought people to the station about a hundred meters away, everyone stopped and rushed out of the fields further forward. Without the cover of the wheat fields, they had to rush up in one go.

In a thick wheat field, Lin Sihai and Wu Kun squatted down at the same time. Looking at the dark station, Wu Kun took the lead and said, "Captain Lin, this 100-meter distance is the distance we charge forward. What should we do?"

Lin Sihai looked at the station and the two snow-white lights shining back and forth, shook his head and said, "You can't charge. Now most of the Japanese are asleep. We must not wake them up, otherwise this battle will be difficult to fight."

"What should I do?" Wu Kun asked in a low voice.

"In this way, Lao Wu, you bring the machine gunner to set up the machine gun. I will take people to approach the station quietly. The closer you can. If the Japanese find that they are accelerating the charge and conducting a strong attack, then you order the machine gun to fire and suppress it. As long as the charge distance is shortened, we will definitely be able to rush into the Japanese fortifications, and then use grenades and hand-to-hand combat to deal with the Japanese in the barracks." Lin Sihai paused.

"No, Captain Lin, you are the commander. I will lead someone to charge, and you can stay behind to command." Old Wu immediately opposed.

"Old Wu, now is not the time to care about these things. Obey orders. Stay behind and I will take others with you!" Lin Sihai said firmly and unwillingly.

"But..." Wu Kun was a little worried.

"There's nothing, don't worry." Lin Sihai patted Wu Kun's shoulder, immediately waved his hand at the soldiers around him, and took the lead in touching the Japanese station.

The soldiers of the New Fourth Army who were hiding in the wheat field stood up one after another and carefully followed Lin Sihai.

"Hurry up, set up a machine gun and aim the gun at the fortifications of the Japanese." Seeing Lin Sihai disappear into the night, Wu Kun immediately whispered to the three machine gunners behind him.

The three machine gunners immediately responded and quickly raised the mg34 general-purpose machine gun, aiming the black muzzle at the direction of the Japanese military fortifications.

Lin Sihai and more than a hundred soldiers followed the night cover and quietly approached the Japanese military fortifications. When the distance was less than 60 meters, the Japanese discovered the soldiers of the New Fourth Army without any obstacles with the searchlight. The Japanese soldier immediately shouted shrillly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, hurry up..."

With a "bang", the shouting Japanese man stopped abruptly with the gunshots, and he lay straight on the searchlight.

The gunshots were the orders, and more than a hundred New Fourth Army soldiers quickly accelerated their pace, bursting out deafening shouts and rushing towards the Japanese fortifications.

Several Japanese soldiers guarding the fortifications stood up in a hurry, picked up three crooked light machine guns and started shooting. However, before they could shoot a few bullets, a row of dense bullets roared and two of the three machine gunners fell down.

The remaining Japanese men opened their companions' bodies and were about to continue shooting when a harsh gun sounded torn apart the oil cloth. In the dark night, a dazzling tongue of flame roared out from the field a hundred meters away.

"Bang bang bang..." The dense machine gun bullets instantly enveloped several Japanese machine gun shooters and crooked machine guns. In just a moment, the few people were beaten into blood sieves.

"Brothers, rush!" Lin Sihai saw the opportunity and raised his right hand and waved his hand forward and shouted loudly.

"Run, kill!" More than a hundred New Fourth Army soldiers roared angrily and rushed towards the station.

The Japanese soldiers who were sleeping were awakened one after another, but as soon as they rushed out of the barracks, a row of dense bullets roared, and the Japanese who were rushing in front fell to the ground immediately, followed by another grenade with blue smoke flying.

"Boom boom boom...boom boom..." A dull loud noise accompanied by the scarlet fire light sounded in vain, and the Japanese were blocked in the barracks.

With the addition of the mg34 universal machine gun, this night attack has turned into a one-sided massacre without any suspense. The 7.92mm gun fired by mg34 is as dense as water. It not only seals the exit of the Japanese barracks, but also penetrates the wooden board doors of the barracks. The Japanese hiding inside suddenly fell one after another.

All the New Fourth Army soldiers were shocked by the power of the mg34 machine gun. The harsh sound of tearing the oil cloth was filled with their ears. A dazzling flame composed of bullets shot at the Japanese barracks continuously. After a few minutes, the two hundred bullet links of mg34 were finally consumed.

When the gunfire stopped, more than a dozen New Fourth Army soldiers rushed into the Japanese barracks, but they were deeply shocked by the scene inside the barracks.

The entire barracks were covered with Japanese corpses, and bullet marks were everywhere on the walls around them, and some items in the barracks were swept away by dense bullets.

After Lin Sihai, Wu Kun and others strode into the Japanese barracks, they couldn't help but take a breath. Is this a fucking machine gun? It's simply a killing rapid-fire cannon.

"Captain Lin, the power of this universal machine gun is very powerful!" Wu Kun looked at the already broken barracks with shock and said sternly.

"Well, the Hu Ben Army has such powerful weapons, no wonder the Japanese who can fight throw their helmets and armor and blood flows into a river!" Lin Sihai was extremely surprised. After nodding, he immediately turned around and said, "Order the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately, take away all the things that can be taken here, and blow up the station for me!"

"Yes!" Wu Kun quickly stepped forward and then led his men out of the barracks.

Liushilipu, the headquarters of the 3rd Japanese Division.

Chief of Staff Colonel Tajirito walked into the division headquarters with a serious expression, and came to the division commander Fujitajin, and suddenly closed his feet and saluted: "General, Hu Yi has called to inquire, and the logistics supplies of other divisions have not been delivered on time."

"What's going on in Bagaya Road? Immediately send a power to the Central China Command to ask what happened to the transportation team." Fujita Jin was angry and roared in anger.

"General, Bei Zhi has already sent a telephone inquiry. The headquarters replied that the Chinese army's air force has been dispatched continuously, not only bombing the transport ships of the Xiaguan Wharf Royal Army, but also bombing our transport convoy along the way. In recent days, there have been many small groups of Chinese troops constantly destroying roads and railways and attacking our transport troops. Not only were the supplies from several of our divisions unable to be transported, but the supplies transportation teams of the 6th Division and the 114th Division were also bombed and attacked to varying degrees." Tian Jiulixiong lowered his head with a serious face.

"Baga, what's going on? What are those small Chinese armed forces? How dare they go against the Imperial Army?" Fujita Jin was extremely angry. It is important to know that the entire Huainan had been captured by the Japanese army, and the ** forces had already retreated to Huainbei.

"General, they are the New Fourth Army led by **!" Tian Jiulixiong replied.

"What? New Fourth Army?" Fujita Jin said in surprise.

"Yes! It's the New Fourth Army!" Tian Jiulixiong replied with his head down suddenly.

"Bagaya Road, immediately contact each division and send troops to protect the Imperial Army's logistics line along the way, and be responsible for destroying the New Fourth Army in Huainan! Anyone who dares to oppose the Imperial Army will die! " Fujita Jin roared in anger.

"Hay!" Tian Jiulixiong responded suddenly with his head down again, and then left with a saber.

The chees and the tiger army’s Longshan military camp.

Qiao Anbang led the armored brigade to return to Longshan Military Camp day and night from the Yingzhou front line. After returning to Longshan Military Camp, Qiao Anbang stopped for a while and led the guard regiment and the armored brigade to Xuzhou directly north. Although he had not many troops on hand, the armored brigade was also an armored assault force that should not be underestimated. Although it is not possible to turn the tide and reverse the battle situation in Xuzhou again, it can at least increase the chances of victory for the fifth war zone.

After Qiao Anbang led the guard regiment and the armored brigade north to Xuzhou, only Xie Jinyuan's garrison brigade was left in the Longshan military camp. In addition to the military camp, the garrison brigade was also responsible for the defense of Longshan Airport and Zhiheji County.

………………………………………

Fengyang, the joint command of the 6th and 114th Division of the Japanese Army.

In order to attack Huaibei, with the instruction of the Japanese Central China Front Army, the 6th Division and the 114th Division formed a joint command center, and the 6th Division leader Gu Suo unified the command of the two divisions to fight. The new commander of the 114th Division naturally did not dare to have any objection to this, because he could not compare with Gu Suo, the veteran division commander, regardless of qualifications or military achievements.

In the headquarters, Tani Shouo threw a telegram in his hand on the table in front of him, and suddenly slapped the table and said, "Baga! Who dared to attack the Imperial Army's station so boldly and destroyed our railway line!"

"General, according to information, it should be the Chinese New Fourth Army operating in Mingguang and Chuzhou!" Chief of Staff Shirō Ichiho replied quickly.

"New Fourth Army, the army of **?" Tanisuo asked.

"Yes!" Shinoko Kazuki nodded indifferently.

"Bageya Road, immediately send troops to wipe out them and repair the Jinpu Line. This railway is the lifeline of our army and must not be lost!" Tani Shou roared in anger.

"Hay, I will do it right away. But, General, can we attack the North Shore?" Shirno Ichiho suddenly lowered his head and asked carefully.

Gu Shoufu shook his head with a naughty look and said, "The offensive matter is temporarily suspended. Now our unit does not have much ammunition and supplies reserves. It is important to know that our opponent is a very powerful Chinese team. Without sufficient ammunition, it is difficult to defeat such a powerful opponent." In fact, Gu Shoufu understood that as long as they could restrain the Hu Ben Army and prevent them from dividing their troops to the north to reinforce the Xuzhou battlefield, their strategic purpose would be great. As long as the North China Front Army defeated Li Zongren's troops in the Fifth War Zone and captured Xuzhou, they would be able to attack the Hu Ben Army on both sides. That was the best time to solve the Hu Ben Army.

However, now the New Fourth Army dares to launch attacks behind them repeatedly, destroying railways and roads, and ramming the logistics supply lines of the 6th Division and the 114th Division. This forced Tani Shoufu to pay attention to it. Without perfect logistics, his soldiers of the 6th Division should not fight against the well-equipped Tiger Army with bayonets on hungry stomachs, right?

"Hayi!" Shimono Ichiho bowed his head again and then turned around and left.

On the battlefield of Xuzhou, on the eastern front, these days, the Japanese army in North China had a rapid offensive. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Yunnan Army, the 20th Army of the Sichuan Army and the Second Army of Sun Lianzhong fought bloody battles. Although they temporarily blocked the Japanese army's frontal attack, they also suffered heavy casualties.

On the Western Front, Tang Enbo's troops suffered heavy losses under the repeated attacks of the 10th Division and the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, and retreated step by step. Fortunately, they received timely reinforcements from the 21st Army from north to south of Huai, and barely stabilized the front line.

…………………………………………

Peking, the Japanese North China Front Command.

The current Japanese commander, Soichi Teruchi, stood in front of the giant map with a pale face, stared silently for a long time. With a sound of footsteps, Chief of Staff Naosabu Okabe slowly walked in. Soichi Teruchi asked without turning back, "Okabe, has the 20th Division set off?"

"Report to General, the 20th Division had already set out last night and probably would be able to arrive in Haizhou today." (Note to Haizhou, that is, Lianyungang City, later generations) Naosabu Okabe bowed his head respectfully.

"Yoxi, this time I must completely take Xuzhou and wipe out the main force of Li Zongren's fifth war zone!" Teruchi Nodun nodded happily and proudly.

It turned out that when Su Te Naiuchi saw that the 10th Army, which had been unable to defeat the Fifth War Zone, had been unable to defeat the Central Team, he dispatched the 20th Division to take naval ships from Qingdao to set off from sea and attack Haizhou. This tactic was the same as the Japanese 10th Army landed in Hangzhou Bay during the Battle of Shanghai.

At that time, all the elite troops were thrown into the battlefield of Songhu. The defense forces in the Hangzhou Bay area were very empty. The landing of the 10th Japanese Army directly deteriorated the situation of the Battle of Songhu.

At this time, under the pressure of the front battlefield in Xuzhou, Li Zongren also placed most of his troops on the front battlefield. Although he also left a certain amount of defense forces in Haizhou, he obviously could not stop the assault of a whole division of the Japanese 20th Division.

…………………………………………………………

Xuzhou City, the Chief Commander of the Fifth War Zone.

In the headquarters, the high-power radio station was ticking and ticking, and some staff members were running back and forth, and everyone looked solemn. The atmosphere in the entire headquarters seemed very depressing and tense.

In the combat room on the left side of the headquarters, Commander Li Zongren, Commander of the Fifth War Zone, Bai Chongxi, Xu Zuyi and others gathered together to discuss military information.

"Dong De, with the arrival of Pang Bingxun and Zhang Zizhong, the Linyi front has temporarily stabilized, but the casualties of Lu Han and Sun Lianzhong's troops are too great. If we do not make up for it in time, I think it will be difficult for the Eastern Front to resist for too long." Bai Chongxi pointed to the map and said.

"Well, if necessary, put Li Pinxian's 11th Army up!" Li Zongren nodded with a frown.

"Dong De, have you ever thought about it? Now, under the cover of the air force, more than 100,000 elite Japanese troops are taking turns to attack our frontier troops. Our army's casualties are even more and more likely to suffer from losses. Such a tactic of adding fuel is a taboo for military strategists!" Bai Chongxi said anxiously with a worried look on his face.

"Of course I know this, but what good can I do now? I also know that in such a large battle, our army cannot defend the enemy. It should be supplemented by peripheral forces and mobile combat. However, the key issue is that we now lack the troops that can operate peripherally. Li Pinxian's troops can only be regarded as the final reserve team. If they are sent to the rear of the Japanese army, it is not to mention whether they can be effective. Once the front line is in a hurry, we will have no soldiers available!" Li Zongren nodded with frown.

"Oh, it would be great if the Hu Ben Army was there. With the Hu Ben Army's fully mechanized marching speed and powerful armored assault capabilities, we can definitely be placed on the outside to support the overall situation of the battle. If the Hu Ben Army is supported on the outside, we would not be so passive in this battle." Bai Chongxi sighed.

"Yes, Brother Jiansheng said very much, but the situation of the Hu Ben Army is probably not optimistic now. According to information, the Japanese army in China has also produced all the elite. The pressure faced by the Hu Ben Army is no less than ours. His divisions are more than 200,000 Japanese troops, and the pressure is conceivable." Xu Zuyi, chief of staff of the Fifth War Zone, spoke out.

Just as the three of them were sighing, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded outside. The three of them looked back and saw a communications officer hurried in with a telegram. Before they arrived, they stood up at the three of them and saluted: "General, Chief, Chief Bai, Haizhou urgent telegram."

"Huh?" Li Zongren and the other two changed their colors when they heard this, looked at each other and then raised their hands and said, "Remember."

"The Haizhou Guards' urgent power. Half an hour ago, our coastal defense forces discovered the Japanese naval fleet. The Japanese army was currently in the cover of naval ships and rushed to land. Under the firepower of the Japanese naval and air force, our coastal defense forces suffered heavy losses, and Haizhou was in a hurry!" The communications consultant said quickly with a heavy face.

ps: I stayed up late last night with my wife, and I got up a little late today, and my waist was sore and my legs were sore. I wrote a few chapters of outlines, and the speed will be faster tomorrow. I will update 5,000 today, so everyone will watch it first.

In addition, I would like to express my special thanks to some of the "Growth of Rich Man" for their 100,000 rewards. Congratulations to you for becoming the fifth leader of the alliance. The leader is mighty and the growth of the rich man is mighty! The additional updates start tomorrow.
