Chapter 424: The Two Corners of Despair
"The regiment seat, there is a Japanese officer here, and he will never surrender even if he dies!"
"Where?" In this battle, Qiao Guoliang not only personally directed, but also led the team to charge and rushed to the front. ◎
In the rain of bullets, he led the way and killed the enemy to death. He won the recognition and respect of all the officers and soldiers of the group!
At the same time, Qiao Guoliang also completed the transformation from a scholar to an iron-blooded soldier on the battlefield.
A Japanese officer had no idea of his military rank. He was blinded in one eye and was wrapped in gauze. It should have been in the previous battle.
He grabbed the hilt of the samurai sword in his hand, and only one eye was left, staring at the officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 37th Brigade of the Honorary First Division surrounded by him.
"Put down your knife and surrender!"
Faced with the angry shouts from all directions, the Japanese officer turned a deaf ear, leaned against a damaged heavy machine gun, slowly supported himself and stood up.
"The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire will not surrender, ah..."
Bang!
Qiao Guoliang quickly took out his gun and shot the Japanese officer: "I'm passing my order. If you encounter such a person, just kill him directly. Pay attention to the Japanese in the dead. If you are not dead, just make up for it."
"yes!"
"I will report to the brigade immediately and say that the first regiment has taken the rope ditch. The time is 11:47 on the night of the 19th." Qiao Guoliang exchanged the correspondent soldier and gave an order.
Taking down Suogou, the possibility of the Japanese army breaking through the eastern front is completely impossible. The new 37th Brigade withdrew from the battlefield and rushed to the rescue, so that Liao Sen's power at least doubled.
"In less than two hours, Qiao Guoliang fought well, how about the casualties?"
"Two hundred, right, eliminate 500 Japanese soldiers, and 200 casualties. I will write down this credit first, and after the two-corner wing team is finished, I will reward you on the merits."
Leng Feng was very happy. In the battle of Suogou, he wiped out more than 500 Japanese troops, greatly weakening the strength of the two-corner wing. He liberated the 37th Brigade and the battle situation developed in a direction that was beneficial to the Honorary First Division.
"Boss, now the Japanese army is entrenched in four or five villages centered on Wanhua Village. They still have about 1,500 people, and there is not much food and ammunition..."
"Can you take a photo of the investigation team entering and touching the situation of the Japanese army?"
"This has been done again. The Japanese army has very strict defenses and is not easy to get close to." Long Yingqin said.
"The focus is on the Japanese army's command center, the hospital also has ammunition and oil depots." Leng Feng said.
"Boss. According to previous investigations, the Japanese army's command should be here, Xiaoguanzhuang." Guo Weiquan held a wooden stick in his hand and walked a little in a village west of Wanhua Village.
"Tell me your reasons?"
"The terrain of Xiaoguanzhuang is relatively complicated. A big road in the east of the village leads directly to the main road. There is a river to the south, which belongs to the Chuhe branch. To the west is Xiaosi. To the north is Xiaosi. The only road leading to Quanjiao passes through Xiaosi. To the south is Tangquan Town, which is the location of our temporary arsenal..."
"What do you mean is that the direction of the Japanese army breaking through should be the southwest?"
"If I were working in two corners, I would not choose to break through from the west, and it would be the easiest to choose to break through from the joint of the two armies." Guo Weiquan nodded.
"Why not the Northwest?"
"The northwest is a mountainous area with a complex terrain and far away from the troops they are supporting. In the southwest, they can also withdraw directly from the river, at least with the current capabilities of the Japanese army, it can still be done." Guo Weiquan analyzed.
"It makes sense, Master, what do you think. Do you want to remind xsj?"
"Yes!" Leng Feng nodded. The junction is the weakest. If the Japanese army wants to break through, it is a common practice to open a hole from the junction.
"But the northwest mountainous areas have to be guarded. If the Japanese sword takes a detour, then we will be in trouble." Leng Feng said again.
"clear."
"Report, the new 40th Brigade reported that Liang Dong had led his troops back to Mingguang, and Chihe was officially taken over by the 136th Brigade of the 46th Division."
"Okay, I get it."
"The 59th Army has arrived at the front line of Mengcheng and Guzhen. Cooperate with the 51st Army and the 48th Army to launch an attack on the Japanese army on the north bank of the Huaihe River. The 13th Division of the Japanese army has contracted its defenses across the board and defended the southern line of the Huaihe River."
"So, it is impossible for the main force of the Japanese 13th Division to move south?" Leng Feng said.
"Yes, Liao Lei's 7th Army also began to move towards the Luqiao and Dingyuan line. Liu Shiyi's 31st Army and Dingyuan Japanese army have already had a fire."
"It seems that Commander Li is not slow!"
"Xuzhou, Commander Li from the Fifth War Zone called!"
"read!"
"Honoring the commander of the Leng Feng of the First Division, the second phase of the Wolf Capture Plan was launched. I hope you can hold back the Japanese army in Yangzhou and must prevent them from going north to reinforce. There is also reliable information. The Japanese base camp intends to increase its troops in central China. Please be sure to pay attention. Li Delin, February 19, 27th year of the Republic of China."
"The Japanese army has increased its troops in central China?" Leng Feng was stunned, but he didn't find it strange that the Japanese army would not give up easily. This nation and this country are terrible.
Li Delin was reminding him that sometimes, he had to give up when he should. Now it is not yet time to fight the Japanese army, and the disparity in national strength between China and Japan cannot be compensated by victory in one or two wars.
"Reply call, thank you Commander Li for reminding you that the mission is clear. The vocational department will definitely delay the Japanese army in Yangzhou and will not allow it to go north to reinforce the 13th Division."
"yes."
"Master, are we going to give up Pukou?"
"Just be prepared to give up. It seems that the Japanese are determined to win the southern line of the Jinpu Road. Our strength can be held for a while, and it will be sooner or later for evacuation. I have been mentally prepared for this." Leng Feng nodded.
"So many brothers, fighting in blood, and finally..."
"Wei Quan, you have to remember that anti-Japanese war is not something that can last for a long time. The war between us and Japan is not the gains and losses of a city and a place, but the potential of war. It depends on who can release the potential of war first. Do you understand?"
"The potential of war?"
"That's right, in the long run, Japan's war potential is not as good as ours, but at this stage, their national strength and strength are stronger than ours. In terms of military strategy, when encountering strong enemies, they must avoid their edge. Wait for the opportunity, accumulate strength, and then hit the deadly attack. The war with Japan is a long-term war of attrition. In the end, it depends on who consumes it first and then who retains the most vitality. In this way, they can occupy an active position in the future competition." Leng Feng said.
"Where are we going to retreat?"
"At present, north of Chihe." Leng Feng said, pointing at Chihe's location on the map.
"So, all the territory we occupy now needs to be given to the Japanese?" Guo Weiquan said in surprise.
"Ran, do you think I will let the Japanese get it easily? It is impossible for the Japanese army to get these places from us without paying a little price." Leng Feng sneered. He was not Han Xiangfang. He didn't fire a gun and let the Japanese occupy half of Shandong.
"yes!"
"Okay. You all go down to rest. If the Japanese army wants to break through, they will be in the second half of the night. In the early morning, there will be no rest for a day. Let's go down to sleep for two hours." Leng Feng ordered.
"On the other end, let's go down and rest first."
Wuhan, Luojiashan, Jiang Mansion.
Chiang Kai-shek has not yet rested. A big battle is brewing in Huainan, which is something that Chiang Kai-shek did not expect. It is also something that the Japanese did not expect. All this is because of Leng Feng and his honorary first division.
If the Japanese army could be severely damaged in Huainan, it would not only give the Wuhan war time, but also give the subsequent relocation of factories and schools and production time.
It can train troops of 500,000 to 700,000 in three months, and the two battles between Songhu and Nanjing were fought. The elite troops of the State Government suffered most of the losses. In order to make up for such a large loss, it naturally took time.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Sir, this is the latest battle report of the Honorary First Division. According to your instructions, it will be delivered as soon as possible." Confidential secretary Mao Qingxiang walked in from outside and said.
"I won't read it, just pick up the important ones." Old Jiang was still looking down at the official document. If he had to pass everything himself, he would have nothing else to do all day long.
"At 7:46 pm on the 19th, the Japanese Iizuka Detachment... At 9:20 pm, the Japanese army advanced to the ** county and was repelled by our defenders...Around 11:50, the first regiment of our 37th Brigade surrounded and annihilated a Japanese army, about 500 people. The remaining 1,500 Japanese two-corner wing were surrounded by us in a four-kilometer area centered on Wanhua Village. It was judged that the enemy was very likely to break through the southwest. Our army was determined to completely eliminate this Japanese army to serve the people, Leng Feng, in the early morning of February 20, 20, 27th of the Republic of China."
"I understand. Tell Leng Feng and report to the annihilation of the two-corner wing!"
"yes!"
"Wait a minute, let the military command be rewarded, and the meritorious personnel from the 1st Regiment of the 37th Brigade will be praised once." Old Jiang thought for a moment and ordered.
"Yes, sir."
"Sir, the Party Committee has sent a sample of tomorrow's "Central Daily". Do you want to take a look?" Lin Wei walked in.
"I won't read these, Mr. Bu Lei can just read them."
"Mr. Todman, the German Ambassador to China, plans to have a talk with you tomorrow afternoon. Do you think about the schedule?"
"It's after 3 pm, it's only half an hour."
"OK."
"The report of the Fifth War Zone of Xuzhou, the second phase of the wolf capture plan has begun, and we must try to wipe out the main force of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army in Huainan area."
"Is Li Delin sure of this?"
"If the Honorary First Division can prevent the Japanese army from reinforcements from Yangzhou, there will be no problem in annihilation of the main force of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army."
"Now Li Delin is going to have a big show of the limelight." Jiang said sourly.
"The wolf-capturing plan was originally proposed by the Military Commission, and it is divided into two stages. The first stage is implemented by the Honorary Division. The goal is the main force of the Japanese army south of Chihe, mainly the 65th Regiment. Now there is a 104th Regiment, which can be said to exceed the goal. Although the troops in the Fifth War Zone are the main force in the second stage, the Honorary Division also needs to cooperate with the assistance. In this way, the Honorary Division is actually the greatest contribution and the greatest contribution. The Honorary Division is under the central government. The greatest contribution should be sir, you are." Lin Wei hurriedly said.
"I won't talk about these things now, I'll talk about them after the war." After saying this, Jiang Jiang felt much more relieved. "I heard that Leng Feng and Jiangbei's xsj have gotten involved. What's going on?"
"Because the Japanese army raided Pukou, the Honorary First Division was insufficient, at this time, xsj took the initiative to come to the door and demanded cooperation. Leng Feng weighed the pros and consented to fight with them and handed over the task of defending the Western Front to them."
"It's okay to cooperate. You must report on such things in the future."
