The 2nd Army spent the blood and lives of its soldiers in the Taierzhuang area in exchange for precious time, waiting for Tang Enbo's regiment to bypass the Japanese army and encircle the Isotani Division. , Tang Enbo just stood still.

On the 29th, the 31st Division guarding the city suffered all casualties. The Japanese army broke into the city under the command of Captain Furong. The 31st Division gathered the last officers and soldiers to fight back, but failed. Deputy Division Commander Kang Faru died heroically. Sun Lianzhong hurriedly put the 39th Division of the Reserve into the battle, because Commander Chi of the 31st Division had been commanding operations in Taierzhuang for some time and was familiar with the terrain. Therefore, Wang Ping's 39th Division was commanded by Commander Chi. Wang Ping agreed, and Chi The division commander immediately ordered Cui Zhiyuan's regiment to replenish the city's defenders through the pontoon bridge. Since the Anti-Japanese War, Cui Zhiyuan has completely lost his previous arrogant mentality. War can indeed change a person. After receiving the order, he immediately commanded the troops to quickly pass through the pontoon bridge. The 1st Battalion led by him As soon as they entered the city, they encountered a Japanese squadron. Cui Zhiyuan immediately ordered the troops to go into battle and charged personally with bayonets. Finally, they completely wiped out the Japanese army and stabilized the fighting situation in the city. However, at this time, the Japanese army had already occupied four quarters of the city. In the third area, Captain Furong actually sent a telegram that Taierzhuang had been occupied, but Isoya angrily tore up the telegram. He pointed in the direction of Taierzhuang and shouted: "Occupied, then why is the sound of artillery so intense?" ?”

The Gao Mingyao regiment was deployed by Commander Chi to the mosque position in the city. The 31st Division here trapped about 500 Japanese troops in the mosque. The Japanese army refused to surrender. Our 31st Division attacked and suffered heavy casualties. Gao Mingyao's mission was to eliminate the Japanese troops in the mosque. , reducing the pressure on the defenders in the city. Gao Mingyao's regiment was equipped with three mortars and had enough shells. He ordered the artillery to bombard a corner of the mosque. Dozens of shells finally blasted a big hole in the wall of the mosque. The Japanese army concentrated firepower to block the entrance of the hole. Gao Mingyao suddenly commanded a battalion. They blew open the door of the mosque, threw a large number of gasoline-soaked quilts and other flammable objects on the houses occupied by the Japanese army, and used grenades to ignite the flammable objects. Under the smoke of the fire, the Japanese army rushed out in a hurry. The gate of the temple was shot by machine guns from the Chinese army, and the Japanese soldiers were killed one after another. The remaining Japanese soldiers, because they had no hope of breaking out, actually threw themselves into the fire.

The 27th Division and the 30th Division outside the city also organized death squads, crossed the canal at night, and counterattacked the Japanese positions. The Japanese troops fought fiercely for many days and fled after being attacked. The Chinese army recaptured Chahekou, Panlou, Shaozhuang, The Japanese army transferred reinforcements to Pizhuang and other positions. The two sides fought repeatedly on these positions, resulting in heavy casualties. However, the Chinese army was engaged in a war to defend the homeland and the country, and its inner fighting will was far higher than that of the Japanese army. Although there are fewer and fewer comrades around them, their tenacious fighting spirit has been fully exerted, making the Japanese army feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, and Isoya became increasingly restless.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's tolerance for Tang Enbo had limits. In addition to sending a telegram to the Chairman of the Committee asking Tang Enbo to attack quickly, they also actively adopted countermeasures against Tang Enbo's disobedience. On the 29th, the Chairman of the Committee and Li Zongren simultaneously issued wordings. The stern telegram ordered Tang Enbo to quickly command the 20th Army to attack Lanling, cut off the blood transfusion artery of the Japanese army in Taierzhuang, and cooperate with the 2nd Army to completely annihilate the Japanese 10th Division. Tang Enbo was under pressure and sent the 52nd Army to conduct a tentative attack in the direction of Lanling. When the 52nd Army arrived at Guojiaji, the Japanese Bancun Brigade happened to be marching there. Guan Linzheng responded faster than Bancun, and he immediately commanded two troops The regiment occupied Guojiaji and ordered three regiments to attack left and right and outflank the Bancun brigade. Bancun realized that something was wrong and hurriedly organized a defense on the spot, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.

Guan Linzheng's troops were well-equipped, with 16 mortars and 9 75mm mountain guns. He commanded the artillery to bombard the Japanese troops. The Japanese troops moved to defense in a hurry and did not dig effective fortifications. They were just some personal foxholes. , after being shot by the artillery of the 52nd Army, there were heavy casualties. The artillery of the Bancun Regiment and the artillery of the 52nd Army launched an artillery battle. The Japanese artillery could not fully extend, and the formation was relatively dense. The artillery shells of the Chinese army were not used. If you aim carefully, you can hit near the target area. Therefore, the Japanese army was doomed to fail from the beginning of the artillery battle. However, the Japanese army was indeed well-trained and shot accurately. The 52nd Army's artillery lost 37 people and the mortars were lost. Although the price was high, the Japanese artillery was completely wiped out. The surrounded Japanese Bancun Brigade became a turtle in the urn. The Japanese machine guns deployed on the ground were all missed by the Chinese mortars, and they lost their lives. The Japanese infantry supported by machine guns were beaten so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads. In just 2 hours, half of the Japanese troops in Bancun's brigade had been killed or wounded. The remaining Japanese troops huddled near a small hill. Bancun made this his final headquarters. .

The Japanese army resisted stubbornly, and our soldiers who charged suffered heavy casualties. As soon as they launched the charge, they were suppressed by the accurate rifle fire of the Japanese army. The officers suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese army first shot our officers, causing our soldiers to lose their command and charge blindly, causing The bitter fruit of failure. The artillerymen were as close as possible to the front and fired at the Japanese army, but the artillery shells were quickly exhausted. The 52nd Army had to surround the Japanese army first and wait for the artillery shells to be transported before launching a general attack. However, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, two Japanese transport planes headed towards the mountain. The Japanese troops on the bag threw ammunition and supplies, and dispatched 6 aircraft to strafe and bomb our positions, causing heavy casualties to our troops. Bancun Brigade took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and some Japanese troops broke out of the encirclement. Guan Linzheng patted his thighs wildly for the Japanese troops' escape. .

The escaping Japanese troops thought they were out of danger and clapped to each other in celebration. The sharp-eyed Japanese soldiers noticed a puff of smoke rising to their right, and a troop was approaching them quickly. The Japanese soldiers discovered that this was an armored unit, and they became even more excited. They were happy because they knew that the Chinese army did not have tanks. This must be reinforcements coming to meet them. They shouted long live and waited for the arrival of reinforcements. When the tanks got closer and closer, some Japanese soldiers were confused. Because they had never seen this kind of tank, these tanks did not look like the tanks equipped by the Japanese army. When the national army emblem on the turret was clearly visible, the Japanese army bombed the camp. They ran around, and some even tried to block the national army. Army tanks, my Nuwa tank rushed at the front, and a shell was shot next to the Japanese machine gun. The fragments of the Japanese machine gun and human body parts were flying in the air, spraying blood foam. Several Kuafu tanks behind me were firing and firing, speeding past my tank and spraying the breath of death at the Japanese troops.

The fleeing Japanese troops were knocked down one by one by the line of fire. Some Japanese troops were crushed to death by tanks. They avenged their comrades who were crushed to death by the Japanese troops. The Kuafu tanks moved forward in a perfect shape, covering each other. Some Japanese troops wanted to climb onto the tanks from the blind corner. , was shot down by machine gun bullets from the side and rear, and fell tragically on the track marks.

No matter how fast the Japanese army moves, they can't keep up with my tanks, and my tank crew has been recharging their energy for a long time, and their hands are itchy to death. When I saw the Japanese army today, I carried out a one-sided massacre with great joy, because This tank-to-infantry battle is massacre. But I have no regrets, because they broke into my home and this is the price they have to pay.

The 52nd Army launched an offensive across the board, and the remaining Bancun brigade was completely wiped out. Bancun committed suicide in shame. Guan Linzheng contemptuously picked up Bancun's emperor-given sword and handed it to the adjutant.

I shook hands with the cheerful Guan Linzheng. Guan Linzheng's square face was filled with a smile. He hugged my shoulders hard: "Brother Hui, without the help of your armored regiment, our 52nd Army wants to completely annihilate us." The sacrifice they made may be even greater, and we, the 52nd Army, thank you."
