Although the Japanese army surrounded me and my troops in Lanling, both sides have their own weaknesses and strengths. The Japanese army is outnumbered. There are about 4,000 people in the Fuguang Regiment, and 1,000 people in the vanguard have arrived together with 30 Type 97 tanks. In the northern suburbs of Lanling, Captain Mitsumura of the Japanese Army was more cautious and did not let the troops rush into battle. Instead, he decided to get in touch with the Tanaka Wing before deciding on the next plan. After two days of fierce fighting, the Tanaka Regiment lost more than 1,300 soldiers, including 633 killed and 695 wounded. 27 tanks were destroyed, 11 were unusable, and only 12 tanks could continue to fight. 47 artillery pieces were lost, and the remaining 25 artillery pieces were usable, but they were all 75 mm-caliber field artillery, mountain artillery, and all siege heavy artillery pieces were blown up by the Chinese army. However, after the Japanese army merged, they still had 7,600 troops, 50 tanks, and 80 artillery pieces. Artillery: The total number of troops under my original command only has 520 people who can continue to fight. The 12th regiment still has 792 soldiers who can fight. The total garrison has only 1,312 people, 2 combat tanks, and 24 artillery pieces. The Japanese army is in terms of strength. We have a 6:1 advantage, while the tanks have a 25:1 advantage, and the artillery has a 3:1 advantage. But we have a firm will and a strong desire to fight, and we are defending the city. I know, The reinforcements were behind the Japanese army, and the Japanese army knew this, so the Japanese army also planned to fight quickly and did not dare to delay. Being trapped in Lanling is both a risky move and a good move. If you play well, you can win the whole game. If you play poorly, you may lose the whole game. The key is to look at the player's chess ability.
Another advantage I have is that in the fierce battle with Tanaka's unit, I strongly shocked the fragile nerves of the Japanese army, making Tanaka and Yamaguchi know that this Chinese army cannot be underestimated and must be taken seriously. And Yamaguchi was indeed hurt by me. In the tank battle, 21 tanks were lost and more than 500 soldiers were injured or killed. Yamaguchi did have an unprecedented fear of the Chinese army trapped in Lanling.
The poor command ability of the Japanese army also surprised me. The Japanese army has not launched a joint attack so far. They always attack when you attack, but they don’t attack, and when they attack, you don’t attack. So in the next battle, I can calmly mobilize the troops. Fill the gaps in the most dangerous areas.
Four Chinese Xiaolong fighter jets roared out of the clouds. The driver's field of vision suddenly widened. A large number of Japanese troops from the Fuguang Regiment were rushing towards Lanling. The driver immediately lowered the nose of the plane, dived, and entered. Heart-rending screams came out of his mouth. The originally orderly Japanese troops were in chaos. Some jumped into the ditch on the roadside, some lay on the slope, some stood still, and some were in a panic. The driver didn't pay attention to the shooting. They flew low along the road and fired. The machine gun bullets ruthlessly penetrated the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. A fuel truck caught fire and exploded. The large ball of fuel caught fire and burned, and some Japanese soldiers were thrown to the ground. They howled and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames. The four Xiaolongs pulled up and then turned around in a semi-somersault. After gaining a certain height, they dived down again and welcomed the arrival of the Japanese troops with a dense rain of bullets. Dozens more Japanese troops were unable to dodge and were hit by the bullets and fell down on the road. The four fighter jets flew away, leaving only a hundred corpses and the wreckage of several trucks behind the Japanese army.
The large force led by Captain Fuguang arrived at the northern suburbs of Lanling, and immediately ordered Captain Guangcun to invest 2,000 infantry and 30 tanks in an all-out attack in order to win the battle. He also notified Captain Tianzhong and sent out troops to feint to attack the southern suburbs of Lanling, attracting The attention of the Chinese army, but due to a small oversight, the Japanese signal corps who sent the telegram mistakenly delayed the attack time by 2 hours, and the Japanese army's coordinated operations came to nothing.
"It's noon, it's supposed to be meal time, and you have to eat during a war." Hu Fugui, the cook, looked at the rice soup in the bucket and the vegetables in the pot and worried, "Why don't you let us bring it up to the brothers for a hot meal?" Just as Hu Fugui was thinking about it, squad leader Yao Dapang rushed into the temporary kitchen. When he saw Hu Fugui still sitting, he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, Fugui, hurry up and bring the food to the brothers. The company commander has already given the order." ." Hu Fugui stood up in excitement, and hurriedly put the lid on the wooden bucket and the iron pot. Several small cooking soldiers also came over to help put the big iron pot on Hu Fugui's back and put the wooden lid on. The bucket rested on Yao Fatty's back. They grabbed the steamed buns and pickles on one side and followed Yao Fatty and Hu Fugui out of the temporary kitchen.
As soon as Hu Fugui rushed out of the room, he heard the rumbling sound of artillery coming from the north of the city, mixed with the sound of intensive gunfire. It seemed that the fighting at the front was fierce. There was also a transportation team heading towards the front with their cooking team. , they were responsible for transporting ammunition, and the two squads happened to be traveling together. The road from the city to the north of the city was uneventful, but a few shells fell. Fortunately, no one was injured. Hu Fugui had a very speculative chat with a Shandong fellow in the transport squad. , even though they walked very fast, the two of them had a good chat. The houses in the north of the city are still relatively intact, unlike the houses in the south and west of the city, which were basically destroyed by Japanese artillery fire. However, as you move forward, the closer you get to the edge of the city, the more you can reflect the cruelty of the war zone. There are many people in the streets. More than 2,000 residents of animal carcasses and civilian corpses that had not been evacuated were once taken hostage by the Japanese army. After I liberated Lanling, more than 900 people were still reluctant to leave their homes and were surrounded by the Japanese army in Lanling City. Some people were unfortunately killed in indiscriminate shelling by the Japanese army. Some young and middle-aged people were organized by me to serve as reserve teams, but most of those who stayed were the elderly and children. They were the most unfortunate. They had no relatives to turn to, so they stayed in the city. Arriving at the rear of the defensive position in the northern suburbs, the cooking squad and the transportation squad stopped because the Japanese army's artillery blockade was in front of them. While attacking the Chinese army's position in the northern suburbs of Lanling, the Japanese army took into account the supply problem of the forward troops. In order to cut off The blood vessels of the Chinese army specially organized 10 field artillery pieces to bombard the rear of the Chinese army, and organized replenishment of soldiers and ammunition. At this time, the forward armored infantry company had been fighting for 2 hours continuously, repelling three Japanese attacks and suffering heavy casualties. However, I had added 2 companies of the 12th Regiment here in advance, so the soldiers could still hold on, but the ammunition There's not much left, and I'm also hungry.
"Danger," Hu Fugui pushed the fellow away. A cannonball exploded behind him. The huge impact pushed Hu Fugui far away. His fellow Shandong fellow rushed up and turned Hu Fugui's body over. The big iron pot was also blown to pieces, and vegetables were scattered everywhere. Hu Fugui was not injured at all. The Shandong fellow said he was lucky. Others gathered around to check Hu Fugui's injuries, but what Hu Fugui was thinking about was It was his green vegetables, and he kept saying: "It's okay, it's okay." He grabbed the pieces of the iron pot and scooped up the green vegetables. He only scooped 3 times and plunged into the green vegetables and stopped. The others hurriedly rushed forward and looked at him again. At this time, his mouth, nose and five sense organs were constantly leaking blood. It turned out that his internal organs had been shattered. Yao Dapang endured his grief and ordered the cooks to place Hu Fugui's body on the roadside. Keep moving forward and send meals and hope to the soldiers who are fighting bloody battles on the front line.
But before leaving, Fatty Yao looked back at Hu Fugui again and saw him lying quietly on the roadside, his expression so peaceful. If it weren't for the blood seeping out of his facial features, he would have looked like he was extremely sleepy lying on the roadside. After taking a nap, Yao Dapang couldn't stop crying. From the Battle of Songhu to the Battle of Jiangyin and then to the Battle of Nanjing, they had been through life and death together so many times. Unexpectedly, here, people and ghosts are on different paths. Yao Dapang Fat secretly thought that if he could survive this time, he must let the remains of his comrades be buried in peace.
The corpse of the Japanese soldier was still lying in front of Yao Fatty. Yao Fatty's mood had calmed down and his hands no longer trembled. His left hand was still holding a shovel stained with Japanese army gunshot. Yao Fatty gave the rice soup to After going to the front, he also grabbed a rifle and joined the soldiers to stop the cruel Japanese invaders. He also personally killed two Japanese soldiers in the trench warfare and established immortal achievements. Of the 9 soldiers in the cooking squad, 5 were killed and 3 were disabled. People have proved with their own blood that even cooks are still undefeatable Chinese soldiers.
