One hundred and twenty eighth chapter triumphantly
"Sir, Zhang Lingpu's 58th Division has broken through the first line of defense of the Japanese army and is currently continuing its deep assault on the Japanese positions." Zhao Zhiliu sent back the latest battle situation from the contact point on the rear flank of the 58th Division. Wang Yaowu's 74
The army has 51,5
8 two divisions, Zhang Lingpu's 58th Division was arranged by Wang Yaowu to act as the first assault formation at the forward, while the 51st Division was left as a reserve team on the right wing by Wang Yaowu. As far as the current battle situation is concerned, Wang Yaowu seems to have not yet decided whether to put the 51st Division into the forward position.
The teacher also transferred up.
"Ignore the battle situation of the 74th Army and ask our troops to be prepared. Once the 58th Division really breaks through the Japanese defense line, immediately order the Myanmar troops to attack across the board." Zhao Zhi handed over the Myanmar mercenary troops to Wang Yaowu's command, but Wang Yaowu
The language barrier made it difficult for him to command, so he had to hand the Burmese troops back to Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi knew that this was Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement, and he didn't say anything about it at the moment. He just quietly mobilized the Burmese troops to the left flank of the 74th Army after the 74th Army set up its position.
.
Compared with the 74th Army with all-American equipment, the number of soldiers exceeds
The Burmese mercenary force of 10,000 people has no advantage except for its large number of people. However, they will soon face the Japanese army who also use bolt-action rifles. Zhao Zhi believes that with their numbers alone, the Burmese mercenary force can defeat them.
The Japanese army in the battle. Zhang Lingpu, who commanded the 58th Division, was indeed a strong general under Wang Yaowu. After the artillery group tore apart the two outer defense lines of the Japanese army's frontal position, the 58th Division, which was pressed across the entire line, quickly attacked and got involved with the Japanese army.
.
In order to suppress the Japanese defense line and destroy their heavy artillery positions, Zhao Zhi mobilized fighter units to assist in the battle. However, the Japanese heavy weapons did not stop there. Their heavy artillery regiment was destroyed. The Japanese also had mountain artillery and field artillery.
Killing and getting involved with the Japanese army can effectively prevent the Japanese artillery bombardment, and the 58th Division is now equipped with American weapons. In close range shooting battles, the Garand is obviously much better than the 38-meter rifle.
"Division commander, the army commander has an order. Your task is to direct the battle and prevent you from going to the battlefield to engage in close combat." Seeing the fierce fighting in front, Zhang Lingpu, who stayed behind the 58th Division, felt itchy in his heart and overcame the charge of the guards around him.
He had to go into battle shirtless. But Zhang Lingpu's guards could not allow him to act recklessly. Five or six big and round guards rushed forward and hugged Zhang Lingpu. They also brought out Wang Yaowu's name to persuade Zhang Lingpu.
Zhang Lingpu is a talented general in the army. When the commander of the regiment fought in the Battle of Nanjing, he personally led the death squads to kill the enemy, leaving many scars on his body. It was because Wang Yaowu knew Zhang Lingpu's character that he gave the secret orders to the guards at the beginning of the war.
, secretly ordered them to take good care of Zhang Ling
Pu, Zhang Lingpu is not allowed to go into battle. "Let me go, I'm going to shoot you guys." Zhang Lingpu struggled hard, but no matter how vigorous he was, he was only one person, and there were five or six guards surrounding him.
No matter how much he yelled and cursed, the guards wouldn't let go.
"Reporting to the division commander, our troops have rushed in. Do you want to send a signal to the military headquarters to request the 51st Division to join the attack?" Zhang Lingpu was in a stalemate with his guards at the command post, and the combat staff with a charred face and the smell of gunpowder smoke bumped into him.
came in. This was the smoothest battle fought by the 58th Division. According to the steps taught by the officers and professors under Zhao Zhi,
In conjunction with artillery tactics, the 58th Division's attack steps were fully launched before the smoke from the mountain artillery salvos dissipated. By the time the Japanese army hurriedly opened fire to block the attack, the forward regiment of the 58th Division had already entered the Japanese defense line and began close combat. Subsequent pressure
The advancing soldiers of the 58th Division took advantage of the situation to expand their results and reduced the Japanese perimeter defenses to pieces.
"Immediately contact the military headquarters and request the 51st Division to come and take over the defense. We will continue the assault." Zhang Lingpu did not ask the 51st Division to participate in the attack as planned, but regarded the 51st Division as a reserve force to stabilize his rear. According to
On Zhang Lingpu's order, the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division broke into the Japanese defense line and advanced all the way. They hit the Japanese troops with strong firepower and fled. Zhang Lingpu, who was forced to stay behind by the guards, was so happy that the people on the opposite side could see his molar teeth.
"Nani? What did you say? The Chinese Army has already captured Qingzhou?" Okamura Neiji, who was stranded in Jinan, was shocked. Before the Tubal Road, which was revived in Hebei, was cleared, the Chinese Army in Jiaodong began to take the initiative to attack Qingzhou.
This made Okamura Nejiichi, who had been thinking about Zhao Zhi,
Time didn't know how he should respond. "Immediately mobilize troops from Zibo to support the Qingzhou defense line. The Qingzhou defense line must not be lost. If Qingzhou is lost, Zhao Zhi of Jiaodong will fully attack the entire Shandong." Okamura Neiji thought for a while and then ordered from
Zibo mobilized troops and rushed to the Qingzhou defense line for rescue.
Okamura Neiji originally thought that Zibo was the closest to Qingzhou, and as long as the reinforcements arrived in time, the crisis in Qingzhou would be relieved. But what he never expected was that Zhao Zhi had been waiting for his move, with more than 500 Thunder servants.
Soldiers and 4000 fines
The Burmese mercenary soldiers have already quietly sneaked to the outskirts of Zibo. This group of people is equipped with American equipment. They have only one mission, which is to wait for Zibo to send reinforcements and take the opportunity to cut off the retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops in Zibo.
Got to get it back.
It is obviously impossible for more than 4,000 people to block the retreat of the Japanese and puppet troops in Zibo. However, these people are soldiers who are good at mountain warfare. As long as there is terrain that can be used, I believe it will be possible to intercept the Japanese and puppet troops in Zibo in a day or two.
Do it. "Okay, both
However, the 58th Division has torn apart the Japanese defense line, so let's arrange for our troops to participate in the battle. The more people we have, the better the fight will be." Zhao Zhike ignored Zhang Lingpu's little thoughts and immediately ordered the Burmese mercenaries on the left
All the troops went up to kill them.
More people than
It is impossible for all the 100,000 Burmese mercenary troops to be deployed on the battlefield. Except for the 100,000 Burmese troops placed at the Zhucheng defense line, Zhao Zhi divided the remaining 100,000 Burmese troops into several assault formations according to the battalion organization system, and
It was a pig that completely copied the Japanese army.
Zhao Zhi believed that even if the Japanese and puppet troops shot all the Burmese people, they would be exhausted to death, not to mention that these Burmese people would not stand stupidly.
There they were waiting for the Japanese and puppet troops to come and kill them.
The endless Burmese mercenaries began to charge. This reminded Zhao Zhi of the scene where the German army fought with the British and French forces in France. However, at that time, the German army and the British and French forces had thousands of tanks and artillery, but now
he only
There are tens of thousands of Burmese people who use bolt-action rifles. The sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield is loud. Every explosion will take away several or even dozens of lives. The ones in front fall, and those behind them rise up. Soldiers on both sides are
They screamed hysterically and fired desperately, waving bayonets, and the entire battlefield seemed to be dyed red with blood.
The shirtless Japanese officers "on board" waved their command swords and led the dead soldiers to counterattack. Death squads have never been the exclusive domain of the squadron. When the Japanese army was surrounded and had no hope of breaking out, there would always be some Japanese officers and soldiers who wanted to die.
Hold the bomb and fight the counterattack. "Open fire, they are death squads, we can't let them come over."
." The wealthy 58th Division is no longer what it used to be. The machine guns provided to them can be equipped to the squad. What's more, the squad leaders and deputy squad leaders still use Thompson submachine guns, which are called small machine guns. In the face of such firepower, the Japanese army is dead.
The soldiers didn't even have a chance to get close to the 58th Division's attack cluster, and they all became bloody gourds.
"***, this American product is still comfortable. You little devils, look at how arrogant you are." Zhang Lingpu's officers smiled happily. If it were the former 74th Army who wanted to bring down so many Japanese troops so happily.
, then we don’t know how many casualties it will cost.”
Go ahead and fight for me, go straight to Zibo city, say he's a coward, I'll shoot him immediately." A lot of military achievements were in front of me, and all the officers under Zhang Lingpu were red-eyed. There were two regimental officers.
He even followed Zhang Lingpu's example and directly led the troops to the forward position.
"Commander Wang, according to the news we have received, reinforcements from Zibo have been dispatched, and the 51st Division can now be deployed." Seeing that the 51st Division of the 74th Army was still left behind by Wang Yaowu to eat dust, Zhao Zhi sent someone to the headquarters of the 74th Army.
Spread the word. The Japanese and puppet troops on the Qingzhou defense line are not
More than 30,000 people, if you throw away the fake Imperial Army troops, the actual strength of the Japanese army is less than 20,000, which is very close to the strength of the 74th Army. At present, the Japanese and puppet army defense line in Qingzhou is already crumbling.
This is the best time for the army to press forward.
"My husband has deployed all Burmese mercenary troops as auxiliary forces on the left wing of your department. And just now, my husband has ordered the Burmese troops to attack across the board. Please ask your 51st Division to go straight to Zibo through Qingliu Town. Our army is responsible for
and
The combat cooperation of the 58th Division." The person Zhao Zhi sent to deliver the message was Luo Ying. After being nurtured by Zhao Zhi for more than three years, Luo Ying had already shed his original immaturity. In front of Wang Yaowu and his officers, Luo Ying
Luo Ying, who was chatting calmly in person, showed no fear.
"Put them all up? What about Jiaodong? No troops left to guard the retreat?" Wang Yaowu was stunned by Zhao Zhi's arrangement. Only the 74th Army and the Burmese troops in Zhao Zhi's hands were stationed in Jiaodong. 74
The army is responsible for the main offensive task of the Qingzhou defense line. Now Zhao Zhi has released all the tens of thousands of Burmese troops under his command. Once the Japanese and puppet troops attack Jiaodong from Zhucheng, Jiaodong will be in big trouble.
"Commander Wang, please rest assured about this. My husband has already made arrangements. He has set up a battle array for the Japanese in Zhucheng. We will not shoot them now." Naturally, Luo Ying could not take all the arrangements that Zhao Zhi had arranged.
However, he could give Wang Yaowu a break first, so that the people of the 74th Army could relax and deal with the Japanese and puppet troops.
