At Ximen, Guo Da stood next to a collapsed house, staring motionlessly at the time on his hand. Beside him, the commander of the 103rd Regiment, Lu Zhengliang, stood with a loaded gun. In front of the two of them, officers and soldiers of the 103rd Regiment were posted along the street.
The walls were lined up, quietly waiting for the order to attack,
The situation at the east gate and north gate is the same. The Taierzhuang defenders are fully prepared for counterattack and are waiting for the counterattack time to arrive.
Suddenly, Guo Da waved his right hand heavily and shouted in a low voice: "Attack."
"Yes." Lu Zhengliang responded loudly, and quickly ran forward for more than ten meters while shouting: "Brothers, attack, attack."
"Empty, empty..." The mortar battalion of the 1st Xuexue Brigade began to show off its power. Dozens of mortar shells roared towards the Setani detachment's position. In a moment, explosions sounded in succession.
The "tick-tock" charge horn sounded, and the flag bearer of the 103rd Regiment, Chen Xiaoer, unfurled his battle flag and rushed forward. He shouted as loud as he could: "Charge." Behind him, the soldiers moved forward bravely, "Da.
"Da da", continuous gunshots rang out from the shooting position, and several heavy firepower points of the Japanese army were immediately suppressed.
Almost at the same time, the defenders of the 31st Army at the East Gate and North Gate launched a counterattack at the same time. The battles at the four city gates started one after another. The sound of gunfire and shouts of killing resounded through the sky, and one flare after another rose into the sky.
The area around Taierzhuang was suddenly as bright as day, and stray bullets shot into the darkness from time to time, streaking across
With shining traces, the Taierzhuang battlefield, which had been gradually calming down, was once again boiling. Different from the first half of the night, this time the offensive and defensive sides fell apart. The Japanese army, which had been attacking furiously, became the defensive side.
The national army suppressed in Taierzhuang City became the attacking side.
The counterattack came so suddenly and violently. Although the Japanese army had heightened vigilance due to the previous shelling, they were caught off guard by such a large-scale counterattack. Under the leadership of the regiment commander Lu Zhengliang, more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the 103rd Regiment successfully broke through the first line of the Japanese army.
The soldiers from both sides immediately started fighting hand-to-hand in the trenches.
On the first line of defense of the Ximen garrison, Xia Yuncai, who had been lying behind the sandbags and staring closely at the battlefield, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Segu detachment's style of play was really rogue, blindly bombarding them with artillery. This gave the 101st regiment
This caused a huge attrition, and Xia Yuncai was even worried that if the fight continued like this, the 1st Xue Brigade would probably be able to hold on for a day at most, and then would have to abandon Ximen due to depletion of troops.
Guo Da was standing less than fifty meters away from him. At this time, he was looking up anxiously. Xia Yuncai ran over and said: "Master, can Chief of Staff Guo arrive at the battlefield in time? If not, I will
Bring the 1st regiment up and charge, so that Lao Lu can find a chance to pull the 3rd regiment back."
Guo Da glanced at him and said, "Just do your part. I have my own opinions."
Xia Yuncai said "Oh" and ran back to his position.
Guo Da is very nervous now. For no other reason than the Japanese army at Ximen, the garrison strength is not superior. If Guo Muyi cannot arrive on the battlefield on time, the Segu detachment can attack the 103rd Regiment with all its strength without any distractions. Then the 103rd Regiment will
The counterattack just launched by the regiment is very likely to turn into a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
Toward the northwest gate, Li Pinxian and Guo Da looked equally uneasy.
Adjutant Li Zhekai felt the commander's mood swings. He was equally nervous and asked cautiously: "Commander, will the Xuebing Army come out from behind the Japanese army on time?"
Li Pinxian's situation was even worse than Guo Da's. The 31st Army only had two divisions in Taierzhuang, and it was very difficult to defend three gates at the same time. At this time, in order to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army at three gates at the same time, Li Pinxian would reserve troops. If all the troops are invested, if the student army fails to appear in the rear of the Japanese army on time, the consequences will be disastrous. Even if the troops invested in the counterattack can be withdrawn, the casualties will definitely be heavy. And once the Japanese army takes advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, there will be no reserve troops. The 31st Army will be plunged into a deadly battle. By then, let alone holding Taierzhuang, even evacuation will be a problem.
Li Pinxian muttered silently in his heart: "Guo Muyi, Guo Muyi, you kid can't get into this situation. I can leave all the troops in my army to you." He didn't hear Li Zhekai's words at all.
Er Li nervously watched the Japanese army's rear position. Two minutes later, Li Zhekai suddenly jumped three feet high. He excitedly pointed to the southeast and said: "Commander, look, the Xuebing Army, the Xuebing Army has really reached the rear of the Japanese army." Already."
Li Pinxian also saw it. He let out a heavy breath, then raised his telescope. In the light of a flare, he saw a huge tank body suddenly plummeting down, and then the muzzle exploded. A ball of blazing flames burst out, and a fireball was immediately pushed away from the muzzle and flew straight towards him. He put down the telescope, and his tense face finally relaxed: Guo Muyi arrived as scheduled, and the four regiments he sent out did not need to He was worried about fighting against tens of thousands of Japanese. As long as Guo Muyi could successfully divide the 5th Division into two pieces, then the battle would be won. Now, it was time to add fuel to the fire. After he made up his mind, he turned around Come, behind him are the only two regiments left in Ximen and even the entire northeastern city of Taierzhuang. The regiment leaders He Feng and Zhang Changtai are standing there quietly, with their heads held high and their eyes flashing with aggressive fire.
Li Zhekai was still a little worried. He reminded him kindly: "Commander, are you really prepared to do this?"
Li Pinxian waved his hand: "It's a gamble, let's attack."
"Yes." He Feng and Zhang Changtai solemnly saluted him with a military salute, then turned back and ran to their respective teams.
"Brothers, attack."
"Come on." The soldiers held the steel guns tightly in their hands and ran past Li Pinxian.
Li Pinxian climbed up a section of the collapsed wall. He shouted condescendingly: "Brothers, tear apart the connection between the Segu detachment and the Andeng division. Hold on, hold on, do you understand?"
First, a few officers responded: "Understood, fight to the death." Then thousands of officers and soldiers roared in unison: "Fight to the death, fight to the death." The roar shook the world, resounded through the sky, and turned into a murderous aura. Not far away, the mortar company's The officers and soldiers seemed to be affected by the call and fired their guns faster.
Xue Feng breathed out a heavy breath. The long and urgent march almost broke his butt into two pieces. Well, it was finally over. The enemy camp was close at hand. The battle flames coming from the battlefield one kilometer away were bright. He could even clearly see the Japanese army's trucks five hundred meters away. The Japanese army's equipment was more advanced than that of the Chinese army. No less than five hundred taels of trucks were lined up in a square formation. Some of the compartments of these trucks were even covered with tarpaulins. Come to think of it, It's a baggage train,
Xue Feng graduated from Yenching University. His biggest wish was to one day stand in front of the blackboard and teach children knowledge. Leighton Stuart is a competent principal and a person worthy of respect and trust. Although he is a foreigner, he is sincere He wanted to help China become stronger. Xue Feng still remembers his words to this day: The reason why China is poor is due to its backwardness. The reason why it is backward is due to the lack of popularization of education.
Xue Feng was convinced. Xue Feng was the son of a small merchant family in Beiping City. If Leighton Stuart had not waived his tuition fees, he would not have been able to study. From a Chinese perspective, he had a more thorough understanding of why China is poor. The truth about backwardness is that in the feudal dynasty, children from common people and poor families could not afford to study. Those who could study were the children of rich families, bureaucrats and wealthy families. However, these people did not study for the world, but just for the sake of the world. I, for the sake of my family, because education has not been popularized, so most of the people in the country are ignorant and uncivilized, which has resulted in the poverty of the people and the backwardness of the country. The junior officer has a good saying: If you are backward, you will be beaten. This is true in history. From then on, Since 1840, the huge and backward China has suffered so many invasions and signed many unequal treaties. How much wealth is left by the Chinese nation after five thousand years of accumulation?
This is an issue that makes all descendants of Yan and Huang feel ashamed and angry. It kept Xue Feng awake at night, wondering where China's future would be.
Xue Feng joined the Xuebing Army as a teacher. Later, the Xuebing Army established a chariot unit and needed to recruit soldiers with certain cultural knowledge. It happened that at that time, the Japanese army frequently provoked troubles in Jicha. Xue Feng was so angry that he decided to Xue Feng joined the student army and became an ordinary tank soldier. Xue Feng was knowledgeable and willing to study his profession. He quickly grew up and became an excellent gunner. Gong was promoted to the commander of the chariot battalion,
People who are familiar with it all hate the straight-forward way of fighting, and Xue Feng is no different. When the order to attack the Japanese army came down, Xue Feng cheered and was full of confidence, thinking that the battle would be won.
One of his subordinates asked him: "Yingzuo, you are so sure you can win. The little devils are many times better than us."
Xue Feng smiled and made a profound gesture: "Soldiers are deceitful, and the strange will win the right. If there is no main force of the Japanese army in the direction of Pi County, we will definitely win this battle."
After Guo Muyi became the supreme commander of the raid force, he accidentally heard Xue Feng's confident words from others. He did not hesitate to let Xue Feng's battalion serve as the sharp knife force and said to him: "Whether this raid operation can be successful or not depends on Is your sharp knife sharp enough? If you cut through quickly and destroy the enemy's command system, we will win half of this battle. Do you understand?"
"Understood, sir, please rest assured, our battalion will definitely live up to its reputation as a sharp sword."
People who have read books are smart and a bit cunning. Xue Feng caught Guo Muyi's words and easily reserved a title for his army.
Guo Muyi was startled at first, but then he understood. At that time, he patted his chest and promised that as long as Xue Feng could really use the sharp sword in this battle, he would go to the army headquarters and give their battalion the title of "sharp sword".
"Jian Dao, what a domineering name." Xue Feng thought, shook his head violently, and ordered in a deep voice: "Right ahead, enemy trucks, fire."
The crew members in this tank are all Xue Feng's old subordinates, and they are very familiar with each other's cooperation. Before he gave the order, the driver Ma Guangyun immediately released the accelerator, stepped on the brake and shifted into neutral. The next moment, the school gunner Zhang Jun quickly shook the handle and adjusted the design angle. Then, he nodded, and gunner Zhang Cheng immediately pressed the launch button.
With a muffled sound of "empty.", the tank shook violently, and a meter-long flame spewed out from the muzzle. A few seconds later, a Japanese army baggage truck was hit and exploded violently.
"Speed up, rush up, Xiao Han, the machine gun is set up, remember, just hit the Japs in front and leave them alone on the wings." After giving this new order in the car, Xue Feng put the microphone to his mouth, Press the send button to issue an order to the entire battalion of tanks: "Everyone is here, straight ahead, assault, pay attention, and give priority to attacking the enemy in the front."
The seventy-six laser-type vehicles increased their accelerator almost at the same time. The headlights of the vehicles immediately became brighter, illuminating the surrounding area. The infantrymen guarding the tanks followed closely under the guidance of the lights, howling and screaming. The tank rushed forward, and the soldiers at the front pulled the trigger without hesitation because they found the target.
A Japanese soldier belonging to the 5th Division Logistics and Transport Unit, who had fallen asleep and got off the truck to urinate, was stunned by the explosions just now. The next moment he was beaten into a hornet's nest and fell down while dancing "break dance" ,
The violent explosion woke up the Japanese troops who were sleeping under the truck and in the compartment. A Japanese officer jumped out of the truck waving a pistol. He saw more than a hundred bright lights and hundreds of figures running towards him, and he screamed in horror. : "Enemy attack, enemy attack." He only had time to shout twice, and then he was engulfed by gunfire. He danced to see Amaterasu.
Lucky Anten was lucky. He was commanding the reserve troops to support the front-line positions and did not stay at the headquarters located in the middle of the convoy, so he avoided the fate of immediate death. However, the chief of staff Mitsujun Kaneda and a group of subordinates who stayed behind at the headquarters The staff officers were not so lucky. The 19 tanks of Xue Feng's command post rushed together and directly broke through the square formed by the Japanese convoy. The machine gunners fired a salvo and several tanks fired at the same time, killing more than a hundred tanks. All the devils were sent to hell,
Chi Zhenhai was facing the battlefield. He keenly felt the changes in the rear of the Japanese army's position. When continuous explosions were heard from the Japanese army's rear position, followed by blazing flames, he immediately realized that it was his own raiding force that had launched the attack. He was overjoyed, waved his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the friendly forces have launched an attack from behind the Japs. The Japs have been surrounded by us. Kill them."
"kill."
After the counterattack force led by Chi Zhenhai unexpectedly occupied the first trench of the Japanese, they were immediately suppressed. Chi Zhenhai organized the troops to launch three charges in succession, and were beaten back without exception. This made the The 31 officers and soldiers of the headquarters were all red-eyed. At this time, they saw the hope of encircling and annihilating the Japanese, their morale soared, and their blood was boiling. They launched a desperate charge regardless of it.
Lieutenant General Andengliji was stunned by the charge of the defenders without any regard for casualties. He subconsciously said to himself: "The Chinese people are crazy, what do they want to do?"
Suddenly, a major came running out of breath and shouted from afar: "The Chinese are coming from behind. Your Excellency, the Chinese have appeared in the rear of our army."
"What." An Tengliji blinked his eyes, and his heart that was already a little worried suddenly turned cold.
Li Pinxian asked the mortar company at the Northwest Gate to fire grenades non-stop. Although its ability to kill the Japanese was limited, the explosions one after another played a role in confusing the audience. An Tengliji was so focused on the frontline battle that he really didn't hear what he was doing. The array was abnormal. When I looked back, I saw the blazing baggage convoy. My eyes went dark and I almost fainted on the spot.
Once Guo Muyi ordered the attack, he no longer concealed his troops. Seventy-six laser tanks plus a brigade of infantry were quite large. At least from An Tengliji's point of view, he only felt that there was a large and densely packed enemy army. , I don’t know how many people there are,
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency." The Major supported him and shouted repeatedly,
"Eight grids." Onteng Rikichi cursed bitterly and shouted: "Goto Yunosuke, quickly, lead your people to guard the rear. Qingshan Ichiro, quickly send a report to the commander of the Isotani division and Setani. Qi, ask them to reinforce immediately."
"Hai." After Goto Yunosuke agreed, he shouted loudly to assemble the troops. Keiyama Ichiro looked embarrassed: "Your Excellency, our transmitters are all in the headquarters..." He did not finish his words. But the meaning is very clear. The headquarters has been turned into a sea of flames. The transmitter must have been destroyed.
"What." An Tengliji gasped and looked at Qingshan Ichiro with wide eyes. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Then run for help quickly, Bage, I want this too. Teach?"
"Hai."
"Your Excellency, do you want the Guoqi Regiment to abandon the offensive at the East Gate and North Gate and move closer to the Northwest Gate?" The Shao Zuo who came to call the police asked cautiously. An Tengliji, who was in a violent state, looked quite scary, so he asked Unconsciously feeling sad,
An Tengliji looked at the flames of war igniting not far away, and saw the laser tanks rushing directly into the formation with an overwhelming force. He thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "No, let them hold their position. Since the Chinese can A counterattack will be launched in the direction of the northwest gate, and counterattacks will also be organized at the east gate and north gate. If they abandon their positions outside these two city gates, then we are in danger of being surrounded. Pass my order to let the soldiers shrink their defense lines. As long as they can If we defend until dawn, the Chinese tanks will be useless. Go and tell Suzuki Shoji and let him lead the chariot troops to meet them. If we want to resist the Chinese chariots, we need time to adjust the defensive order and let him Buy at least half an hour for the main force."
"Hai."
After experiencing the initial panic, the Japanese, organized by low-level officers, launched a tenacious resistance. Until now, there are still more than 5,000 Japanese troops outside the Northwest Gate. Of these 5,000-plus Japanese troops, except for the more than 2,000 who were killed by Li Pinxian, The troops were tightly entangled in the front line, and the rest began to move closer to Andengliji. They used the time created by the chariot troops to attack, reorganized their troops, and assumed a defensive posture.
