30 Soviet fighter planes I-15 and 9 I-16. Under the operation of the pilots of the 5th National Army Flying Group, they all successfully took off for combat in a short time.
For this battle, because they have a certain number of aircraft fleets, and they are Soviet fighter jets, these national army pilots and Soviet volunteer pilots are also full of confidence, and they are heading towards the airspace where the Japanese aircraft group is attacking with the fastest speed.
Flying over at high speed, preparing to engage in combat, I wish I could reach the airspace in the direction of the Puhe River and the Huihe River immediately, shoot down all the incoming Japanese aircraft groups, and save the lives of those who died in the air battle over Songhu and the capital Nanjing.
The pilot brothers were attacked by Japanese planes and took revenge.
However, none of them knew that the Japanese aircraft group attacking this time were all the latest Type Zero carrier-based aircraft group and the Type 99 bomber group. These Japanese aircraft groups were all the latest models.
Of course, what they did not expect even more was that the F6F Hellcat fighter jets dispatched by He Feiyang and the F4U fighter group were rushing to the Puhe River and the airspace in the direction of Huihe River at the same time, preparing to encircle and suppress the incoming Japanese aircraft group.
At the same time, the Japanese 2nd Army also started its offensive operations by dividing its route to the south in advance.
Major General Kai Otani of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army on the West Road commanded the 10th Regiment and the 63rd Regiment; the 10th Field Artillery Regiment, the 2nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the 3rd Battalion of the Garrison Army Artillery Regiment
, the 10th Independent Machine Gun Battalion, the 10th and 12th Independent Light Armored Vehicle Squadrons; the Temporary Field Artillery Squadron, the Temporary Mountain Artillery Squadron; the 1st Squadron of the 10th Engineer Regiment; the 15th Depot Vehicle Squadron, etc., with a total strength of more than 15,000
Japanese invaders,
It also started to launch offensive operations, crossing the canal from the Jining area to the west and attacking Jiaxiang. It encountered stubborn resistance from the 3rd Group Army and the attack was frustrated.
However, Major General Otani Kei of the 33rd Brigade changed the direction of the offensive, and the final target was in the Tengxian area. So he took his Japanese troops and marched south along the Jinpu Railway, preparing to start from Zouxian County (today's
Liangxiadian south of Zoucheng) launched a sneak attack on Teng County.
The vanguard of the Japanese army was also targeting the Fenghe and Longyangdian areas in the northeast of Teng County.
There he killed the defenders of Teng County by surprise.
Because the north gate of Xuzhou is Teng County and LY.
After learning that the Japanese troops had begun moving towards Teng County,
The commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, Li Zongren, was also personally stationed at the Xuzhou headquarters, constantly collecting intelligence and dispatching troops. So when he learned of the latest trends of the Japanese 33rd Brigade,
He also immediately mobilized Deng Xihou's troops of the 22nd Army and rushed to Teng County to prepare to block the Japanese troops heading south.
Deng Xihou's troops were from Sichuan. In the original time and space, they had inferior weapons and equipment, and even had a lot of cold weapons. Sichuan-made 79 rifles, broadswords, grenades and a small number of home-made light and heavy machine guns and forcibles.
Cannons are the weapons and equipment they can possess.
Moreover, before the Sichuan army came to Teng County, they had been fighting the Japanese army on the battlefield in eastern Shanxi for more than 40 days. They suffered heavy casualties, with more than half of their troops killed and wounded. Those who had not yet arrived were required to replenish their troops and rest and recuperate.
Commander Li immediately dispatched them to Teng County and asked them to rush to Teng County non-stop for defense. The 41st Army and the 45th Army under the 22nd Army only had more than 20,000 troops in total.
,
The combat deployment of Deng Xihou's Sichuan Army troops was to prepare the 45th Army as the first-line force with its headquarters stationed in Teng County, while the 41st Army as the second-line force was deployed at the forward position along the boundary river.
But due to the appearance of Liu Feiyang,
Thus changing the deployment of troops in Teng County,
Now Tengxian County has taken the lead in transferring the headquarters of the 122nd Division and the 364th Brigade of the second-line troops into Teng County two months in advance, and appointed Commander Wang Mingzhang of the 122nd Division as the frontline commander of the 41st Army.
And obtained the approval of Commander-in-Chief Sun Zhen of the National Army,
As for the front-line troops, the 45th Army was dispatched to the forward positions stationed along the boundary river.
When the Japanese 33rd Brigade began to advance southward along the Jinpu Railway, the entire Lunan was covered with ice and snow.
The weather is extremely cold,
If Liu Feiyang and the people of Teng County had not sent cotton-padded clothes and heaters to the Sichuan troops stationed in Teng County, I am afraid that these Sichuan troops would still be wearing shorts and straw sandals and suffering from the cold as in the original time and space.
In addition, many Sichuan soldiers will be injured or killed due to freezing.
122nd Division Headquarters,
"Report! Division Commander! Commander Sun sent a telegram saying that the Japanese 33rd Brigade has begun to move south along the Jinpu Railway. Their combat target is likely to be here in Teng County!"
Just when Commander Wang was studying the combat deployment in Teng County and whether it was consolidated and improved,
Communications Corpsman Wang Dezhi also hurriedly came to him to make urgent reports.
"What! These Japanese troops came so fast?"
"Didn't the rest of the 3rd Army intercept these Japanese invaders?"
After listening to the report,
Mr. Wang was also surprised.
"No! The Japanese army's attack was very fast and violent!"
"Although the 3rd Army defeated the menacing Japanese troops in the Jiaxiang area, they changed their marching combat route, so for a while no troops could resist the attack of this elite Japanese army!"
"So Commander Sun asked us to immediately strengthen Teng County's combat defense!"
"Let us hold on to this place and ask you to call him back immediately!"
Signal Corpsman Wang Dezhi continued to report everything he knew truthfully.
"Okay! I understand!"
"I'll call him back right now!"
After hearing this, Commander Wang also frowned and immediately asked the communications soldier to go back to the communications room.
"Yes! Master!"
Communications Corpsman Wang Dezhi quickly nodded in agreement.
Then he quickly turned around and left.
Commander Wang also followed him and headed towards the communications room, preparing to personally discuss the defense of Teng County with Commander Sun.
