[Volume 43] Chapter 348: Chapter 152: History's shocking changes (III) (2)

------------

Resuke Isotani, who received the telegram from General Soichi Teruchi, the commander of the dispatch army, also felt dizzy. The plan originally planned seemed to be overturned in an instant?

The defense line of the Chinese defenders on both wings of Teng County was so strong that they had already conquered Teng County? But the Zhongxun teams, wearing single clothes, straw sandals, and holding ragged weapons, did not retreat at all? The Zhongxun team's performance today did surprise the commander of the Yoshitani division. He had never encountered such a tough opponent since he came to fight. Yoshitani saw from the telescope that the Zhongxun team could block the joint attack of the elite Japanese Imperial Army's elite troops with just the broken guns and big swords in their hands. They fought hard all day long, but his troops did not move forward. The position he captured was taken back by the group of miscellaneous troops in front of him. How could the Sichuan army, which was not tall, be so capable of fighting? Later, Yoshitani discovered that this army was a group of desperate people.

When Isotani looked at the bodies of the dead soldiers burning the dead, I was surprised to find that many soldiers were either bitten off their noses or their ears were removed. A big blood hole was exposed in their eyes? The most common thing was that their stomachs were blown up by grenades. The internal organs that flipped outside flowed all over the ground. Isotani's face twitched a few times. He realized that his opponent was a group of desperate people. For the Zhong** team, it was completely unnecessary to stick to the outer defense line on both wings at this moment, but it was just to increase the casualties of Zhong** team? Is the commander of Zhong** team a fool? The blood sacrifice of Shanhe 34852

What Isotani Ryosuke didn't know was that Sun Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army, drove over at the outer defense line of Teng County, when the Japanese army was fighting fiercely. Sun Zhen brought the only reinforcements, a battalion of suicide squads composed of lightly wounded people. This was the last reserve team of the 22nd Group. Sun Zhen went to the front line to visit his soldiers, comfort the wounded, and observe the terrain.

The loss of Teng County's urban defense is crucial to the Teng County operations, but Sun Zhen no longer has the troops to fight back. His guards have long been on the front line. As a commander of the army, there are only two guards. In order to maintain the Teng County area for a longer period of time, Sun Zhen was forced to make further adjustments and deployments for Teng County defense. He also convened various divisions, brigades, regiment commanders and surrounding local government officials to hold a meeting in Beishahe, conveying to them the order of Chiang Kai-shek transferred by Chief Li Zongren, requiring the 22nd Army to defend Teng County for at least three days, delay the enemy's attack, and wait for the Longhai Railway to transfer reinforcements to consolidate Xuzhou.
