Now that he had decided to find Xu Zuyi, Zhang Tianhai got up early in the morning and went to the headquarters of the fifth theater commander after having a little intimacy that night.
This time when I went to the commander of the war zone to ask the great master Xu Zuyi, Chief Xu, to help me witness the marriage, I had to not bring along followers like Liu Houming. If I wanted to invite people, I had to be sincere first, so Zhang Tianhai and Zheng Man were about to get married. The young couple from the palace went to the headquarters of the theater commander in person.
When they arrived at the theater commander's headquarters, they were released after a routine inspection.
After entering the compound of the theater commander's headquarters, he saw that it was still busy inside.
After all, in the two days after Zhang Tianhai fell into coma, the battle on the front line of Yixian County was very fierce——
Late at night on April 8, after Zhang Tianhai's 1st Regiment directly under the Third War Zone withdrew from its position, Zhang Zhen's 10th Division took over the position.
On the morning after Zhang Zhen's 110th Division took over the position, the frontline troops of the National Army immediately issued an order for a three-way all-out attack on the Japanese troops in Yixian County. Even the air force joined the battle to assist, and blood was shed in the sky. heroic!
On the same day, Sun Tongxuan's 12th Army and Cao Fulin's 55th Army, both under the Third Army, attacked the corner of Jining City.
On April 10, about 3,000 enemy troops from the southeast of Yixian County rushed into Shanshan and Zhangshan areas to form formations and resist. The national army immediately sent troops from Nigou to pursue them. The battle was very fierce for a time.
On the same day, the main forces of Sun Tongxuan's 12th Army and Cao Fulin's 55th Army of the Third Army besieged the enemy in Zaozhuang. The enemy in Zaozhuang put up a stubborn resistance and the battle was still very fierce.
At the same time, on April 10th, the Nationalist Air Force once again bombed the enemies in Yixian. For a while, bombs fell into Yixian and exploded everywhere. The enemy and our air forces fought fiercely over Mamuji.
And this day, April 10, was the day before Zhang Tianhai went to the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander.
Time goes back to April 10th, and the camera moves to Yixian County, the headquarters of Rensuke Isotani's 10th Division.
At this time, Isotani Rensuke's headquarters had moved from the houses in the city to the city walls. After all, the strength of the city was much better than the strength of the houses in the city.
Nationalist Air Force planes were passing overhead one after another, and then dropped aerial bombs one after another.
Two aerial bombs even exploded directly near the castle cave where Rensuke Isotani's division headquarters was located, causing a shock all around.
"Baga! Why didn't our plane shoot down these damn Chinese planes?" Isotani Rensuke cursed. His mood was really not very good these days.
In the fierce attack two days ago, not only Zhang Tianhai's first regiment directly under the Third Theater Zone paid a heavy price, but the Japanese offensive troops also paid a heavy price of about 700 casualties. If this was not the front line, These 700 people may still be saved, but this is the front line, and it is a front line heavily besieged by the national army!
Therefore, these casualty Japanese soldiers will face the dilemma of very limited medical supplies.
"Division Commander, our medical supplies are almost running out. Our wounded soldiers will face the dilemma of dying of illness." Colonel Changdi Bujiagui, the division's chief of staff, said in a deep voice.
"Then there is no other way. Our battle is destined to be a battle between trapped beasts. It depends on how long it will take Commander Juichi Terauchi's reinforcements to reach the front line. If not, I think we can only be loyal to the emperor and die in pieces. ." Isotani Rensuke sighed. To be honest, he really regretted his carelessness and underestimating the enemy.
But things have developed to this point. Besides regretting, is there any better way for him to do it? there is none left!
The price of underestimating the enemy is so heavy! What Isotani Rensuke never expected was that the Chinese army he faced would resist so fiercely, wearing down his troops step by step, and then give them a fatal blow after they went deep alone!
"Division Commander, according to the intelligence previously reported by Colonel Akashiba Yaezou, commander of the 10th Regiment, the enemies we fought on the western battlefield that day were most likely the elite troops of the China Army, and they might be theirs. Virtuous weapon master!" Colonel Tsubujiagui said in a deep voice.
"Isn't it possible? Aren't the elite German weapon divisions of the China Army already wiped out on the Nanjing battlefield? According to various intelligence from the Special High School Course, the main force of their German weapon divisions has indeed been wiped out. But it cannot be ruled out that it is The main force of the China Army is the elite of the Tang Enbo Corps. They have large-caliber machine guns, as well as a considerable number of grenades and mortars. In addition, they also have the artillery firepower to suppress ours. According to the analysis of our artillery commander, the enemy's The number of artillery should be between twelve and fifteen. Chief of Staff, what do you want to express?" Isotani Rensuke looked at Colonel Taka Takabuzuka.
"Since the enemy's elite troops are already nearby, if they really concentrate all their strength just to encircle and annihilate us, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it. What should we do in that case?" Colonel Takaki Tsubuuga asked with a worried look on his face. said.
"Chief of Staff, don't worry. Do you think these Chinese troops don't want to encircle and annihilate us? If they had the strength to encircle and annihilate us, we would have captured Yixian long ago. So there is no need to worry too much. What we have to do next is to resist and defend to the end. In the end, hold on until our reinforcements arrive!" Isotani Rensuke said confidently. On the surface, he does seem to be very confident, but his unconfident side cannot be seen by his subordinates, right?
If the commanders are desperate, then there is really not much hope in this battle.
So anyone can despair, but Isoya Rensuke cannot despair. Even if he is desperate, he cannot let his subordinates see it!
…
When Zhang Tianhai and Zheng Man arrived at the headquarters of the fifth theater commander, Cheng Qian, commander of the first theater, and Li Zongren, commander of the fifth theater, were studying the changes in the frontline battle situation, and several other senior officers were also present. After all, Yi The county's frontline troops have been carrying out a continuous fierce attack since this morning, and they are going to carry out a second encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army.
At this time, war is raging on the front line. It is impossible to keep them busy.
As the military commanders of a camp, the responsibilities they shoulder are far heavier than those of others. Sometimes one mistake on their part may lead to the death of thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
"We must resolve the battle in Yixian as soon as possible. Now the troops of Sun Tongxuan and Cao Fulin of the Third Army are already in a melee with the enemies on the northern line of Yixian. If the battle is not resolved quickly, then the Third Army's These two armies will be in danger of being attacked from both sides." Li Zongren said.
"Brother De Lin's words are reasonable. Now the Lu Han 60th Army from Yunnan will arrive in Xuzhou soon. We can mobilize all the forces we can mobilize to the front line to fight against Little Japan, and strive to solve the problem of this unit as quickly as possible. Enemy!" Cheng Qian nodded in response. After all, what Li Zongren said did make sense!
"What Chief Cheng means is to use all the forces, which means that the heavy artillery troops and mountain artillery troops directly under the theater are dispatched at the same time to cope with the battle on the front line, right?" Xu Zuyi asked.
"Yes, we have dispatched heavy artillery troops and mountain artillery troops here, plus the heavy artillery battalions and mountain artillery battalions that Tang Enbo's army originally had, which is almost enough. If so many troops and artillery firepower cannot solve the current enemy, we will send more It is useless to send more artillery units up." Cheng Qian said without hesitation, in his opinion, this is indeed the case, the fists should be used with all their strength to fight out!
Zhang Tianhai and Zheng Man, who were about to shout a report outside the door, immediately chose to shut up when they saw what was happening inside.
This is not the time for them to talk!
