After Ge Zengfu, Fu Boss and his party broke up in Xiashuihe, they immediately rushed back to Pi County. At the north gate of Pi County, they met Lei Ying. Lei Ying told them that the 27th Division and the Mountain Division had evacuated, and asked them to catch up immediately and fight with them. The troops gathered together,
"Just give up on Pi County." Ge Zengfu felt puzzled.
Lei Ying couldn't explain why. He just emphasized that this was Brigadier Liu's order and left.
News that the Japanese army is about to attack has spread in Pi County. Many people are fleeing here with their families. This makes Ge Zengfu and others feel the deep shame and anger. The existence of the army is to protect the people, but , when the invaders came, they had to choose to retreat. He looked at the tall Pixian County and secretly swore: One day, I will fight back.
Ge Zengfu and others did not enter the city, but went straight around the county seat and rode on motorcycles. Half an hour later, they caught up with the large army. The 27th Division was in front, and the Xuebing Army was behind. More than 10,000 troops formed a long winding dragon. He was about to report the situation to Liu Shurong when the roar of aircraft engines suddenly came from the northeast. He turned around and saw a Century fighter jet flying northwest. "Cricket," several series of sharp whistles sounded, The large troops that were marching in a hurry immediately dispersed on both sides and fell to the ground one after another.
Liu Shurong's armored command vehicle stood out. He turned the accelerator and chased after it. Then he threw the car to the side and ran towards Liu Shurong, who had just gotten out of the armored vehicle.
Liu Shurong was looking at the enemy planes with a telescope. When he put down the telescope, he saw Ge Zengfu and asked with a smile: "The increase is back, how is the situation ahead."
"The cabinet brigade is trapped by our ecstasy thunder array. It will take another two and a half hours to reach Pi County. Brigadier Liu, I don't understand why we evacuated. The Japs don't have enough troops. Advantage, Boss Fu and the others are very disappointed with us, saying that we are not as tough as the 51st Army."
Liu Shurong smiled and said: "You may have forgotten the purpose of our coming to Pi County. Chief of Staff Guo and his team's raid has been successful. If we stay here any longer, we will be waiting to die. You said that the cabinet brigade was attacked by the Ecstasy Thunder The formation is trapped, what does this fascination mean?"
The Xuebing Army has always attached great importance to the use of landmines. For top reconnaissance soldiers like Ge Zengfu, laying landmines is one of the assessment subjects. Ge Zengfu smiled and said: "Lei Ying brought too few mines this time. Boss Fu and the others made their own mines." The power was too low, so we collected grenades and made quite a few booby traps. At first, the cabinet tried to use soldiers to force a way out, but was badly damaged by our booby traps. The cabinet brigade entered the Xiashui River. Before, we laid a lot of booby traps around them. As a result, the little devils couldn't even retreat and move, so they had no choice but to rush forward. The cabinet sympathized with the subordinates and had to clear all the mines before they dared. Tong Qing, if you do this, you won’t be trapped.”
"Yes, there is a way. After this battle is over, you will be responsible for promoting this experience in both divisions."
"yes."
The cabinet brigade was delayed by the mine formation, and ended up arriving in Pi County almost at the same time as the Setani detachment. Setani Kei caught a few fleeing fellow villagers on the road, and then learned that the defenders had retreated, which made him He was so angry that after rendezvousing with the cabinet brigade, he asked cabinet Shengyu rudely: "Mr. cabinet, you asked us to come and encircle and annihilate the enemies in Pi County. Where is the Chinese army in Pi County now?"
The cabinet was severely damaged by the mines planted by Ge Zengfu and his friends. Not only the march of the army was greatly slowed down, but more than 200 men and several tanks were lost in vain. This made him feel quite bad. The cabinet was already depressed. Full of anger, now being questioned by Kei Setani, his face suddenly became very ugly, and he asked rather rudely: "You are coming from the direction of Taierzhuang. If you go fast enough, you should be able to block the Chinese army. I don't think so." I want to ask you, where is the Chinese army?"
Setani Kai suffered a big loss in Taierzhuang and was on the verge of an explosion. When he heard this, he immediately jumped three feet high and yelled: "Bage, what do you mean, we were the ones who escaped from the Pi County defenders?" Our detachment fought bloody battles in Taierzhuang for a day and a night. The soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies over without rest. Do you still expect us to be the main force in the attack? Then what are you doing with the third mixed brigade? Along the way Fighting the autumn breeze?"
The two people were arguing, and suddenly Second Lieutenant Akita Koichi, the squadron leader of Kei Setani's communications squadron, hurried over and reported: Your Excellency, the detachment leader, Commander Isoya called, asking us to rush to the Longhai Railway Canal Bridge immediately, Isoya. The first division of the division started fighting with the Chinese.
"What." Kei Setani didn't care to vent his anger on the cabinet, and immediately ordered the army staff to take out the map, looked at the cabinet and said, "I'm going to lead the team to the Canal Bridge, you can figure it out. "
Cabinet Shengyu snorted and ignored him, but thought in her heart: "Let you go first. When you and the Chinese army are both defeated, I will go and take advantage."
The Setani detachment did not even enter Pi County, and immediately rushed to the canal bridge.
8:23 am, Taierzhuang,
"Hey..." As the sound of the bomb accelerating tearing the air sounded, Guo Da issued an order for all ministries to organize themselves to avoid the bombing. The Japanese planes were coming fiercely. Four fighter jets escorted them, and a reconnaissance plane patrolled near Taierzhuang. The bombers divided into three formations and dived towards their respective targets.
Two formations had already crossed Taierzhuang and were chasing the tank troops that had just withdrawn across the Grand Canal. One formation dropped eight heavy bombs on a burning city wall.
Guo Da looked up at the sky with a telescope. The distance was so close that he could even see the faces of the Japanese airmen clearly. "What do you want to do, blow up the city wall?" Xu Dalin said softly, very puzzled.
Guo Da looked worried. He thought for a while and suddenly said: "Quickly, let Zuo An lead a group into the third area. If that section of the city wall is blown up, the Japs are likely to break through from there."
After the raiding troops withdrew, the tank troops immediately left Taierzhuang and returned to Hexi, while the 1st Xue Brigade stayed. As the temporary commander of the 1st Xue Brigade, Zuo Ping An naturally stayed and was borrowed.
Zuo Ping'an and Liu Shurong temporarily changed their command positions in order to give full play to their strengths. As for why they were not allowed to command their own troops in combat, it was because the Overlord Brigade was still a new recruit, while the Xueyi Brigade was a veteran. The two brigades had combat experience. There is a difference in
"Okay." Xu Dalin responded and ran to the camp of the First Study Brigade in person.
The power of eight heavy bombs caused the already cracked city wall to collapse and turn into ruins. The four bombers had just pulled up their noses when Isoya Rensuke gave the order and were already not far away. The Anzai Brigade and Aso Brigade on standby immediately shouted and rushed over.
"Kong Kong..." The artillery of the Isoya Division followed suit. The fierce bombardment caused the east city of Taierzhuang to be almost completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke. The officers and soldiers of the 1st Xueyi Division were forced to huddle in the crude fortifications, not daring to make any overstep.
In a wooden building about three hundred meters away from the west gate in Taierzhuang, Su Haihu, who was sleeping against the wall, heard the sound of cannon fire and suddenly opened his eyes. Wang Linren next to him had been carefully wiping his walkie-talkie. , at this time, he stopped what he was doing and lay on the window. He picked up a telescope and looked towards the place where the cannon was heard. Su Haihu also picked up the telescope and lay on the window. Neither of them spoke, and they looked attentively. Yes, after the little devil fired another round of cannons, he put down his telescope and looked at each other, and almost said in unison: "3400."
Wang Linren is a range finder in the artillery unit of the 1st Xuexue Division, and Su Haihu is the commander of an artillery regiment in the 51st Army. Their task is to determine the location of the Japanese artillery positions and then report it to the artillery units in the rear.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Wang Linren handed the microphone to Su Haihu.
Su Haihu hesitated for a moment and then accepted it. Then he pressed the send button with his right thumb and asked, "Is that so?"
Wang Linren smiled and nodded,
Not everyone can use the advanced gadgets of the Xuebing Army. Although Su Haihu has practiced it several times before, he still feels a little uneasy when he really wants to use it, as if this walkie-talkie is a man-eating monster.
Su Haihu felt reassured after receiving Wang Linren's recognition. He coughed twice and said: "I am a tiger, I am a tiger, the distance is 3400." After saying this, he waited nervously, and after waiting for a while, he did not get a response. He was a little anxious and shouted loudly: "Receive it, please reply."
Wang Linren smiled. He crawled over and took two steps to release Su Haihu's thumb that was holding the send button.
Only then did Su Haihu realize that he had forgotten a crucial step, and he couldn't help but smile. At this time, a human voice came out of the chat: "Old Lang received it, Old Wolf received it, it's over."
Major An Xijiu climbed up to a high place under the protection of several military police, and then he saw the inner city of Taierzhuang East City in a mess. After the round of artillery fire just now, many places in the city were smoking and burning on a small scale. An Xijiu looked far into the distance, but saw no one, and his heart completely settled.
As early as a week before the Taierzhuang war, Li Zongren mobilized the local residents to evacuate. Those who stayed in the city, except for some old people who refused to leave their hometown, were the bullies and wealthy businessmen who were determined to be traitors, and the local anti-Japanese organizations spontaneously formed ambulance team,
It was only a few hundred meters away from the west gate. An Xijiu looked over and even saw a corner of the fortification built with sandbags. He waved his command knife vigorously and shouted behind him: "Charge up, charge up, shooter, seize the commanding heights."
After Zuo Ping'an received Guo Da's order, he relayed the order to the three commanders of the 1st Xue Brigade. They were already shouting: "Commander Zuo, let's go up. Our regiment suffered casualties in the previous raid." The smallest,..." "It's a joke, your regiment has the smallest casualties, Xing XIV, why don't we do an inventory on the spot, our second regiment must have more people than your third regiment." "Everyone, stop arguing, let's go in order. , let’s go up first as a group.”
Xu Taitai, the leader of the First Regiment, Huang Feihu, the leader of the Second Regiment, and Xing Shishi, the leader of the Third Regiment. These three people are famous for their tendency to argue, which once made Liu Shurong very headache. The three of them did not look at the situation. At this time, they unexpectedly Also got into trouble,
"Okay, you thought we were just playing house. Xing Shishi, take your people and follow me. Cai Dapao, don't look around. Just say you, take your mortar company and follow." The three of them. While they were arguing with each other, Zuo An'an stopped them all with a shout. Cai Hongguang was dozing there when he was suddenly called a nickname. He didn't know what happened, so he stood up instinctively, looking confused. The look made everyone burst into laughter,
