"idiot!!!"
Following an angry curse and the sound of a tea cup being smashed, Colonel Toyama received a loud slap on his face, and a slap mark appeared on his face, which was very obvious.
"Hai!!" After being slapped, Yuan Shanden didn't dare to say anything else. He could only respond with a calm voice - no matter what, it's good to be able to save his life.
Colonel Toyama was not as powerful as Takashi Sakai. On the contrary, he was still a little thin and looked more like a civil servant than a military attaché.
The 50th Regiment lost its forward positions one after another, and several villages had already fallen into the hands of the national army.
Since it was a close-quarters battle, the Japanese artillery had no room to play.
This is what makes Major General Takashi Sakai most angry. These humble Chinese actually engage in such a despicable night battle with them!
However, this is war, a war that requires any means to win!
Since crossing the river, the 28th Brigade has won a series of military victories. This is the first time it has encountered such a predicament.
Ahem, as for the battle at Yangzhuang, in Sakai Takashi's view, it was just a minor setback. If it hadn't been for the sacrifice of the first brigade, it would have been impossible for the main force of the brigade to cross the river so smoothly.
A few days ago, the Japanese army was under heavy artillery bombardment. Although the troops suffered certain casualties, they had achieved a staged victory; but now the situation is different. Under the powerful offensive of the national army's counterattack troops, their already limited and The dispersed troop garrison was further compressed.
As the Chinese army further compresses the living space of the Japanese army, the casualties of the Japanese army will naturally not be small - a brigade and two squads of the 50th Regiment in the direction of Neihuangji were almost completely wiped out!
In addition, the Japanese troops were also quite unfavorable in other aspects of the war.
In total, at least one regiment's troops were killed and wounded. If the brigade that was completely wiped out in Yangzhuang was added, the 28th Brigade had already lost more than half of its troops. With this kind of casualty situation, the situation cannot be said to be very serious. severe!
The offensive of the national army continues, and the casualties of the 28th Brigade continue to increase!
Sakai Takashi knew that if the situation continued to be bad like this, his troops might really be in danger of being wiped out.
The key is that those artillery reinforcements are very powerful if they are used in long-range offensives. But in the current situation, artillery cannot help at all. If those tank troops are dispersed, they cannot form an assault force. , on the contrary, there is a risk of being defeated one by one.
Under this situation, the 28th Brigade was in a very bad situation.
So, how could Takashi Sakai not be under great pressure? The word "stressful" is very appropriate to describe it!
"Immediately call the division commander and inform him that our brigade has been attacked fiercely by the enemy's absolute main force! More than half of the troops have been killed or wounded. If we don't provide support, I'm afraid there is a risk of the entire army being shattered. Please, your Excellency, division commander, please tell me, Be sure to send more reinforcements!" Sakai Takashi said in a deep voice, his face full of anger and unwillingness.
"Hai!" a Japanese combat staff member responded.
…
Under the attack with the absolute main force of the 71st Army and the 74th Army, the national army showed a happy scene.
Under this situation, Gui Yongqing began to send troops of the 27th Army out of the city to defend.
One regiment of Dai Minquan's 45th Division and the 2nd Brigade of the 8th Preliminary Division (actually only one regiment) were used for defense, and two battalions of troops from the 45th Division were transferred as a reserve team responsible for Defend Yang Guji and the defense line of Shuangtaji.
In Gui Yongqing's view, this army lineup is already very strong.
…
At ten o'clock in the morning on May 23, Lanfeng County, the 27th Army Headquarters.
At this time, Gui Yongqing, who had gained some weight, was wandering in front of the map in the war room of the military headquarters with a very troubled expression.
Hanging on the map is a garrison map of the first theater, and spread on the table is an offensive and defensive map near Lanfeng County. At this time, many places on the offensive and defensive map of Lanfeng County have been marked with symbols symbolizing the attack. The small blue flag occupied by the national army.
"Do you really want to persevere to the end?" Gui Yongqing murmured.
"Military seat, I believe that the current situation is unclear and Lanfeng County is temporarily safe. After all, there are already all the Eighth Preliminary Division, plus one regiment and two battalions of our 45th Division responsible for defending Yang Gu. We have gathered with the Twin Towers. Although the enemy's troops are strong, our army's encirclement offensive has been formed. It will be impossible for the enemy to break out." Dai Minmin, commander of the 45th Division, is full of confidence. Analyzed.
"Is that really the case?" Gui Yongqing murmured, but a haze flashed in his eyes.
Afterwards, Gui Yongqing looked at Yang Guji and the Twin Towers defensive line on the map, and then at the mark of the 88th Division of the 71st Army that was closest to Lan Feng, but he felt like The decision has been made!
…
It is impossible for everything to go according to plan, including Zhang Tianhai's.
Just when Zhang Tianhai thought that his troops could stay at the front line of Quxing and Sanyi Village and wait for Gui Yongqing and Long Muhan's troops to abandon Lanfeng, he might go to defend Lanfeng as quickly as possible.
However, at this moment, an urgent telegram reached the regiment headquarters of the first regiment directly under the third theater.
This order was an emergency order from the 71st Army Headquarters.
"Reporting to the regiment, there is an urgent message from the 71st Army Headquarters. It was signed by Commander Song Xilian personally. Please take a look at it!" Xu Xun, the operational staff officer, ran to Zhang Tianhai and reported.
After hearing the news, a haze flashed through Zhang Tianhai's heart: He had an ominous premonition that the situation was very likely to change at any time!
It's not good to be in a bad mood, but you always have to pay attention to the orders: after all, the current period is the most intense time of the Lanfeng War. Fierce fighting is everywhere, and the military situation is like a fire! If something important is delayed due to his own fault, I'm afraid he will end up dead...and he will still end up in front of Long Muhan!
This situation is something Zhang Tianhai never wants to see.
So, Zhang Tianhai took the telegram translation paper and saw that it read: "The third war zone is directly under the headquarters of the first regiment. The 87th Division suffered heavy casualties during the frontline operations. Your troops must rush there quickly. Neihuang gathered on the front line to prevent the Japanese troops from advancing westwards and to counterattack. At this stage, the war situation is raging. The military commander of the first regiment directly under the third theater must take action immediately. If the military aircraft is missed, military law will be engaged! Signed by Song Xilian, Commander of the 71st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, urgent call at 10:02 a.m. on May 23rd, the 27th day of the Republic of China!"
Military law, these four words are Hong Guoguo's threat. Zhang Tianhai also knows the consequences of this. It is probably that Song Xilian was afraid that he would quarrel with him at a critical moment, so he added it deliberately.
But Zhang Tianhai is not unaware of the consequences of wrangling - if he really loses the battle, this order will become Zhang Yulin's reminder!
He can see this clearly than anyone else!
