"Reporter, I believe that Lanfeng can still be defended. We are not Yanggu Ji, nor Shuangta Ji. This is Lanfeng County. We can completely rely on Lanfeng City's strong walls and powerful walls to fight against the enemy. Fight to the bitter end." Wu Qiujian, commander of the 264th Brigade, said in a deep voice.
"The city of Lanfeng is also called Jiancheng Libi? Let me tell you, now is not the time to show off your strength. When we attacked Maoguzhai and Yifeng, did you ever see someone like me, Han, shrink back?" Long Mu Han said coldly.
Then, Long Muhan changed the topic and continued: "I have decided now to have the troops retreat immediately! Retreat to Kaifeng. If anyone disobeys the order, military law will be enforced immediately!"
Everyone immediately looked at each other and made a decision: "Yes! Master!"
These people have very sharp eyes. If they really disobey orders, the division commander Long Muhan will shoot them. Isn’t it just a matter of words?
It seems that just like this, Long Muhan's 88th Division began to slowly retreat, gradually withdrawing from Lanfeng County.
Naturally, the actions of the 88th Division could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Third Battalion of the Zhiyi Regiment stationed in Sanyi Village.
Don't forget, the mission of Wang Ziqing and his troops stationed here is to keep an eye on the movements of Long Muhan's 88th Division.
"Report to the battalion commander, the troops of the 88th Division have begun to retreat!" A soldier rushed into the headquarters of the second battalion of the first regiment directly under the third theater to report.
"What?! The 88th Division actually retreated?!" Wang Ziqing could hardly believe his ears. He couldn't believe that Zhang Tianhai could see things so accurately and that he could even arrive the day before yesterday. The Eighty-Eighth Division will run away!
"Yes, battalion commander. The troops of the 88th Division are now withdrawing from Lanfeng County!" the soldier reported.
After recovering from the shock, Wang Ziqing said directly without any further hesitation: "Order the entire battalion to station in Lanfeng County immediately! We must control Lanfeng County as quickly as possible!"
"Yes! Battalion Commander!" Everyone in the battalion responded in unison.
…
In the dark night, countless Central Army troops wearing goose-yellow uniforms were withdrawing from the west gate of Lanfeng. The scene was very spectacular.
But there was also a small Central Army unit with only more than 600 people who took advantage of the darkness of night to move towards Lanfeng County. However, this entire division of troops left the city, and the movement was too great. It directly covered up this small army.
…
The battle east of Yang Guji is still very fierce, but due to the ebb and flow of the troops on both sides, the national army has slowly fallen into a disadvantage - it has gone from unstoppable at the beginning to a stalemate now.
This is the twentieth or thirtieth time that Zhang Tianhai has pulled the pistol.
Although Zhang Tianhai could kill one kid with every shot he fired, he still couldn't resist the momentum of reinforcements from the kiddos, who came in large groups.
What they received was a fatal order from the brigade commander, Major General Takashi Sakai - the artillery position must be preserved!
Seeing that the troops were fighting very hard at the front and could no longer make any progress, Zhang Tianhai was naturally very anxious, but there was nothing he could do!
If Guo Qiliang's troops can come faster, or if the main force of the 87th Division comes, this battle will be won. Unfortunately, now we can only watch the second battalion led by him suffer heavy casualties.
Gritting his teeth and secretly resenting it, Zhang Tianhai pulled the gun again. He wanted to find the next prey!
…
Li Xiangdun is a squad leader of the second battalion of the first regiment directly under the third theater. Tonight, he was ordered by the company commander and platoon commander to follow the regiment in combat.
To be honest, this is not the first time Li Xiangdun has been on the battlefield. He escaped from Nanjing alive. If the regiment leader had not led their three thousand remaining soldiers to break through desperately, I am afraid they would have died on the bank of the Yangtze River.
Not only the Nanjing battlefield, but also the Tangtou battlefield, he came back alive and followed the large troops in the regiment to win a great victory in that battle.
But things are different now. The current situation is more dangerous than ever before - these troops with less than 500 to 600 people are launching an attack on more than 10,000 Japanese troops? Isn't this a suicide charge? !
However, he never disobeyed the orders of the group leader.
"Whoosh~ding!"
At this time, Li Xiangdun was squatting behind a military truck, using the Japanese military truck as a cover to gain a chance of survival.
The bullet whizzed through the air and hit the steel plate of the vehicle, causing a spark to pop out immediately.
Li Xiangdun gritted his steel teeth and cursed: "You little bitch Japan, you've gone too far to bully others. Damn it, I'll fight you all. Anyway, I'm good enough! I'll earn some more interest!"
In Li Xiangdun's view, he was really capable. During the Nanjing defense battle, more than ten Japs died under his command. Later, during the Nanjing breakout battle, he killed some more.
Later, he also made some gains in the Tangtou and Yixian battles. For him, it was really enough.
Next, he should start a battle of revenge for the brothers who died in Nanjing, and as he said, he should earn some interest!
Just because Li Xiangdun was fine, it didn't mean that his brothers were fine. Among the dozen or so brothers, there were only a few left alive.
The dead man is saying that it is inevitable, and the key is to complete the mission-the Japanese artillery position must be blown up, otherwise the brothers who died in the front will die in vain.
Li Xiangdun glanced ahead and found that the Japanese artillery position was not far away from them, only a little more than a hundred meters away.
However, just this short distance of a hundred meters really required them to try their best to break through!
When Li Xiangdun thought about how to break through the Japanese blockade, he discovered that the Japanese artillerymen who were still firing just now seemed to be trying to escape.
Because these artillerymen are moving artillery shells into the compartment of the truck. Are they trying to escape or what are they thinking? !
Li Xiangdun gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Impossible, little devil, if you want to run away, it can't be that easy!"
"Brothers!! Follow me and blow up the bastard Japanese artillery, but we can't let them leave smoothly and safely!!" Li Xiangdun was yelling.
Just kidding, if the Japs' artillerymen really escaped, wouldn't the deaths of so many brothers in the Second Battalion have been in vain?
As a result, Li Xiangdun had already made a decision - even if he died, he would capture these artillerymen of the Japs, but he couldn't let them run away in vain.
These artillerymen are the little devils' greatest confidence. This is something Captain Zhang Tianhai has told them more than once.
After shouting, Li Xiangdun led his brothers and rushed forward.
However, just after Li Xiangdun rushed out with the brothers in his class, he was hit by a bullet in the chest, and the blood immediately stopped there.
"Rush..."
This was what Li Xiangdun shouted after he was shot. Just the next second, he fell heavily to the ground.
As his eyes darkened, Li Xiangdun seemed to see the comrades from the teaching corps who had trained with him, as well as the brothers who had sacrificed their lives in the Nanjing breakout battle.
In the dark, they seemed to be waving to Li Xiangdun, as if to say, Dunzi, even if we die, we will still be upright Chinese soldiers.
Lying on the ground, Li Xiangdun raised his head vigorously, as if he had anticipated the fact that he might be sacrificed.
However, before he died, he wanted to see the Chinese army break through the defense line of the evil Japanese invaders, and comfort him with this ironclad fact: the Chinese people are winning step by step in this great Patriotic War.
However, Li Xiangdun also had a hunch that he might never see these touching scenes again.
"The national army must win, China must win..." Li Xiangdun's mouth, dripping with blood, was chanting slowly.
The next second, countless artillery shells pierced the sky and hit one corner of the Japanese artillery position.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Violent explosions exploded in the Japanese artillery, and dazzling beams of light shone across the sky.
Li Xiangdun's eyes slowly closed, but his mouth was still filled with a smile: This battle will eventually be won, my sacrifice is worth it, and China will finally win the war. , by that time, China will no longer have to suffer the ravages of war.
With that burst of beautiful longing, Li Xiangdun slowly closed his eyes and returned to heaven.
He is just an ordinary Chinese soldier, a Chinese soldier who hopes that China can defeat the Japanese invaders and protect the eternal peace of the Chinese nation!
In the face of the national crisis, there is no partisanship. Their common name is "Chinese soldiers"!
…
This burst of shelling was naturally not a shelling by the Japanese army, but a shelling by the artillery battalion of the regiment.
This matter started twenty minutes ago. At that time, Guo Qiliang was leading his troops to advance towards Yangguji from another direction, but unexpectedly, he did not encounter any enemy troops.
But unexpectedly, just when they were thinking about how to find traces of the Japanese army, the battle on Zhang Tianhai's side started.
Guo Qiliang roughly calculated the direction and distance, and asked Zhao Chengge if he was sure that he could set up an artillery position from here to directly cover the direction where the battle started.
At the beginning, Zhao Chengge was a little reluctant. After all, he was afraid of accidentally injuring his own people. The power of artillery was not small.
Unexpectedly, the deputy commander Guo Qiliang refuted it with one sentence: "It will take at least fifteen minutes to set up your artillery positions. After half an hour, all the day lilies will be cold. What a joke! Listen, immediately Set up a position and bombard over there! The artillery fire lasts five minutes!"
"But..." Zhao Chengge hesitated.
"But what! If you are asked to fight, you will fight! If you don't fight, you will bear all the consequences!" Guo Qiliang said with great dissatisfaction, but don't forget, he also served as chief of staff before.
Don't think that the chief of staff is not an officer...
"Yes! Deputy Commander!" Zhao Chengge responded.
"Listen, Zhao Chengge, I can only leave you with the regiment directly as the security force. The other two infantry battalions, I will immediately take them to the front line to support the regiment! The security force is now commanded by Chief of Staff Gu Shi'an, and Before the artillery fire ends, you will be in full command! After the artillery fire is over, Chief of Staff Gu will be in full command!" Guo Qiliang said this directly in front of Gu Shi'an, directly clarifying the combat mission.
"Yes! Sir!" Gu Shi'an and Zhao Chengge responded at the same time.
As a result, Guo Qiliang went to the battlefield with two main infantry battalions with relatively incomplete structures-Li Chunfei's first battalion and Han Xingle's fourth battalion.
…
The camera pans back to the moment when artillery fire covers the Japanese artillery positions.
To be honest, this sudden burst of artillery fire not only made the Japanese army a little confused, but also the Chinese army.
Yes, as the supreme commander of the national army in this battle, Zhang Tianhai was really confused: Is there such a thing as alive in this era? And he's also a **** who is the commander of an artillery battalion?
Soon, this absurd idea in Zhang Tianhai's mind was overturned by himself: Let's not talk about whether Comrade ** was born or not, but let's talk about who else is there on this battlefield besides the Japanese army? There are only troops from the Central Army.
Let's not talk about whether the Japanese artillery troops will bomb their positions. Let's just say that all their artillery troops are obviously here.
Therefore, this shelling was definitely caused by friendly forces.
As for which unit was responsible for the attack, there is no way to tell. Anyway, the goal has been achieved - the artillery bombardment of the National Army bombed this place with extraordinary force. These Japanese artillery units were seriously injured even if they were not killed...
Just as Zhang Tianhai thought, after hearing the explosion, Takashi Sakai turned pale: If the artillery unit is gone, it is not a trivial matter; The problem with the regiments, there are three whole artillery regiments!
And two of them are heavy artillery regiments!
These two heavy artillery regiments were obviously owned by the First Army of the North China Front. If they were completely defeated in his hands, how could he face their emperor?
Thinking about this, Takashi Sakai broke into a cold sweat: He absolutely cannot bear the consequences!
At this moment, a Japanese lieutenant ran in and reported to Takashi Sakai: "Reporting to the brigade commander, the forward reconnaissance force discovered that the Chinese Army in Lanfeng County was evacuating in large numbers, heading towards Kaifeng!"
Upon hearing the news, Takashi Sakai was like a drowning man grabbing a straw. He tremblingly said: "What you said is true?!"
…
PS: Let’s collaborate on two updates and one update together!
So be it! I will try to slowly change them all into large chapters, and then update them twice a day. Thank you all!
