Northern front, defensive position of the 3rd Division
The main force of the Third Division is moving closer to the Thirteenth Division, and the seventeen divisions of the Kuomintang Army are constantly squeezing the space for the Third Division to move;
Due to the failure of the Thirteenth Division's plan to defeat the five divisions of the Thirty-third Group Army on the southern front on the afternoon of the 16th, the Thirteenth Division was unable to withdraw from the southern front. The Third Division, which was used as a bait, was in an increasingly difficult situation.
The Ohata Regiment has blocked the 44th Army of the 31st Group Army for a day. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Although the Japanese's combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the 44th Army, they are unable to defeat the four-handed army. Under the fierce attack of the Kuomintang army regardless of the cost, the Japanese defense line is in danger. …
"Boom boom boom..."
The mountain artillery battalion of the 44th Army once again launched a fierce shelling on the Japs' positions. The Japs were constantly torn apart by the artillery fire. The Japs of the Ohata Regiment were very tough. Facing the Kuomintang army that was ten times their own, they not only defended their position, but also Launched a local counterattack.
The 44th Army is the elite of the Central Army, but their number of artillery is pitifully small, only slightly more than that of the Ohata Regiment. The most important thing is that there is a serious shortage of artillery shells.
If it hadn't been for the strict planting order this time, Commander Tang wouldn't have attacked the Japanese like this regardless of losses. He was famous for being a foodie.
It was already the morning of the 17th. The news that the Thirty-third Army Headquarters had broken out of the encirclement had been reported to Commander Tang through the Military Commission. The enemy on the southern front had been trapped by General Zhang's five divisions, and General Zhang said that he was still Four more divisions will be added, and the Thirteenth Division will not be allowed to threaten the retreat of the Thirty-first Army.
The third division became a lone force, while the Kuomintang army under the unified command of Commander Tang on the northern front had as many as 17 divisions and more than 100,000 people. This gave Commander Tang an opportunity to become famous in World War I;
Not to mention annihilating the Third Division, even if it was a serious injury, he would also become famous all over the world, so Commander Tang rarely gave up his old job!
Not only did he strictly order the three armies in the southeast to attack the Japanese defense line from both wings and reduce the space for the Japanese to move;
He also ordered his main force, the 44th Army, to defeat the Ohata Regiment, which was responsible for the blocking mission, at all costs on the northern front.
After receiving Commander Tang's order, the 44th Army began to concentrate its forces to attack the Ohata Regiment. The two sides fought fiercely for a day. The main attacking division had suffered more than half of its casualties, and the position was filled with khaki figures!
The 45th Army had almost no infantry and artillery coordination. After the artillery fire stopped for a few minutes, the third regiment responsible for the main attack completed its formation and began to attack the Japanese positions.
The Japs on the battlefield used these few precious minutes to get ready, waiting for the Chinese army to rush up...
A few minutes later, the Third Regiment pulled skirmishers into the enemy's fire strike zone. The Japanese regiment's artillery fire began to intercept. Thousands of soldiers of the Third Regiment charged against the Japanese artillery fire. People kept falling, and they were not able to fight with the Japanese. When they met, there were no less than a hundred casualties.
Then they entered the effective killing zone of the Japanese's light and heavy machine guns. A rain of bullets hit the officers and soldiers of the third regiment, and a large area was mopped down in an instant. The others fell down and looked for bunkers to fight back against the Japanese.
The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was lively. The Japs began to suffer a lot of casualties. Of course, the casualties of the three attacking regiments were far more than the Japs. The battle loss ratio between the two sides was basically more than five to one, or even more. Almost all of them in front of the position Rivers of blood!
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Guns and artillery were heard constantly, and although the third regiment suffered heavy casualties, they did not stop the attack and rushed forward one after another;
"Kill!"
"Buzz buzz..."
"Japanese plane! Everyone get down!"
Someone was the first to spot the Japanese planes flying over with black crows in the sky. There were at least twenty of them. As soon as they saw them, they swooped over and roared down a string of bombs...
"Boom boom boom..."
The attacking formation of the third regiment was blown to pieces, with broken limbs flying everywhere. The three regiments exposed in the wild suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining ones retreated like a tide!
The Japanese plane chased after them and shot them with machine guns, and the khaki figure fell to the ground along the way...
Then the Japanese planes began to bomb the starting position of the 44th Army until all the bombs were thrown and all the machine gun shells were fired, and then they left with satisfaction.
This round of bombing caused at least five to six hundred casualties to the attacking Third Regiment and other units of the 44th Army, and the Third Regiment's attack was also repelled;
The people who retreated from the three regiments, including the wounded, could not form a battalion, and one regiment was crippled in just one attack.
"Commander, we have been fighting for more than a day, and we have suffered nearly one division's casualties. If we continue to fight, the 44th Army will be completely wiped out!"
The commander of the 44th Army complained to Commander Tang. When had they ever fought such a hard battle? In the past, it was always the miscellaneous people who took the lead, and they followed behind to pick up the ready-made ones.
Commander Tang was heartbroken after hearing this, but this time he was determined to destroy the Third Division, so he gritted his teeth and said:
"You are the one who is yelling at me. The commander has issued a strict order. Even if the 44th Army is wiped out, the Ohata Regiment will be destroyed. How many people are there in Daguang? I will add as many people to you after the war!"
If you dare to withdraw, I will kill you! "
The commander of the 44th Army immediately shut up when he heard this. He could offend anyone, but he couldn't offend Commander Tang;
If he offended Zhongcai, he would be dismissed from his post at most. Zhongcai rarely shot his students, but always held them high and put them down gently.
In the battle of Lanfeng, the Gui army commander fled without firing a shot, causing Commander Xue's plan to annihilate the 10th Division to fail. In order to fill the hole for him, Zhong Cao did not hesitate to tear up the dyke at Huayuankou and drown the people in the middle and lower reaches. million;
Commander Gui was dismissed from his post and investigated, and within a few months he was replaced as commander of another army.
But it's not okay to offend Commander Tang. He asks you to fight. If you don't fight, you will be killed in vain, or you will be used as a cannon next time!
This is how the King of Hell is easy to see, but the devil is difficult to deal with!
When the commander of the 44th Army saw that Commander Tang was serious about it, he gave up all thoughts of conserving his strength. After hanging up the phone, he began to fight for his life.
"Boom boom boom..."
All the artillery of the 44th Army opened fire on the Japanese, and no longer saved shells. The Japanese positions were blown to pieces, and many little Japanese were buried alive.
As soon as the artillery fire stopped, a full regiment was thrown into the attack again, and a supervising team was sent behind.
If you don’t succeed, you will succeed!
"Come on!"
A field of yellow crows and crows spread towards the Japanese position...
Southern line, an unknown highland
More than twenty Japanese planes roared past. These were the Japanese fighter planes that had just bombed the 44th Army. They were preparing to return to the chicken coop. Their whereabouts were captured by the reconnaissance team of the Tigers. The general location of the airport had been determined. It is no more than ten kilometers southwest of the highlands!
After determining the general location of the Japanese airport, Chu Xiong sent the First Squadron out in squad units to search for the Japanese field airport. Chu Xiong led the second squadron to continue to lurk.
Regardless of whether they are found or not, they must return to assemble before six o'clock in the evening. Now the communication cannot allow each class to have one radio station, so this method can only be used to assemble the troops.
