As a result, under Song Xilian's tough combat order, a regiment of the 87th Division and a brigade of the 88th Division quickly fought to the south of Lanfeng, almost at all costs. Even the third The artillery battalion of the first regiment directly under the theater was also deployed to participate in the battle.
In addition, there is also a very inconspicuous unit that is also mixed in-it is the special agent company directly under the first regiment headquarters of the third theater!
…
The sound of artillery rumbled, and the fire of twelve artillery pieces hit the Japanese army's forward position intensively. The strong light emitted when the artillery shells exploded was very dazzling in the dark night.
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
"Boom~~Boom!!!"
Artillery shells were fired crazily, making shining scratches in the dark night sky, and then slammed into the Japanese army's outer positions. A burst of mud flew, and the sound of explosions resounded throughout the entire Lanfeng battlefield!
This time, Zhao Chengge, the artillery battalion commander of the Zhiyi Regiment, did not begrudge the artillery shells, but instead let the artillery troops fire freely!
Why? If this battle is not won, will the group be able to come out safe and sound? But don't forget, the wealth in the artillery battalion was saved when Zhang Tianhai, the commander of the regiment, was in office.
For Zhao Chengge, these shells only played their due role at the critical moment, nothing more.
…
Even Li Hanhun, the commander of the 29th Army and the commander of the 264th Army who was appointed to be responsible for the battle south of Lanfeng, was confused by the 71st Army's tough and fast tactics.
"What does Song Xilian want to do? Epilepsy? (What does Song Xilian want to do? Crazy?)" Li Hanhun, wearing a blue military uniform, stood in the tent of the military headquarters and murmured. He is from Guangdong. , the troops he leads are also Cantonese troops, so they naturally speak Cantonese in the military headquarters.
In fact, it's no wonder that Li Hanhun has such doubts. After all, the 64th Army is responsible for the south of Lanfeng. The 64th Army fought hard. This is their duty, but this 71st Not only did the 64th Army steal the attack mission, but they also fought harder than their 64th Army. Why is this?
It should be noted that if this kind of firepower is placed on the main battlefield of their 71st Army, it should be easier to fight, and it is easier to stand out and make meritorious deeds!
But why did the 71st Army do such an incredible thing? Don't forget, if the mission of the 71st Army cannot be completed, the one who will be hit is Song Xilian, the commander of the 71st Army?
Thinking of this, Li Hanhun immediately felt that something was wrong, so he immediately said to the adjutant beside him: "You, immediately send a message to ask the 71st Army how tight the drainage is. ( Power up immediately and ask the 71st Army what they are doing)"
"Yes! Legion commander!" The adjutant responded and quickly went to carry out Li Hanhun's order.
Speaking of Li Hanhun's military positions, he actually has three positions now, one is the commander of the 29th Army Corps, the other is the commander of the 64th Army, and the other is the division commander of the 155th Division. .
Ahem, in fact, the 29th Army only has the 64th Army under its jurisdiction, so Li Hanhun's official military position is actually the commander of the 64th Army and the commander of the 155th Division, but because Li Hanhun was busy with military affairs, which was basically presided over by Major General Chen Gongxia, deputy commander of the 155th Division.
"Commander, should we order the 155th Division and the 187th Division to postpone the attack now? The situation on the front line is unclear." Li Guang, Chief of Staff of the 64th Army asked.
"No need, our attack will continue as usual. If necessary, we will even cooperate with the operations of the 71st Army. Song Xilian, the commander of the 71st Army, can serve as the commander of an army at a young age, and he has established many positions before. He has a reason for doing this because of his military exploits." Li Hanhun said in a deep voice. As a top student who graduated from the sixth batch of Baoding Military Academy, Li Hanhun's level is quite good.
In Li Hanhun's view, the overall situation of the war of resistance must be maintained. If there is another major defeat, it will be a great harm to the national army on the front line.
"I understand, humble position." Li Guang responded.
…
On the front line, a tile-roofed house that looked like no one had lived in it for a long time was now bustling with people.
Because this is the headquarters of the 71st Army moving forward again!
"Reporting to the military, there is a call from Li Hanhun, commander of the 29th Army Corps!" A combat staff officer ran to Song Xilian with a piece of translation message.
"Huh? Chief Li called?" Song Xilian was slightly stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized it - when Li Hanhun called, other than asking about the war situation on the front line, it was impossible to ask about the second thing.
"Yes, military officer. Chief Li called to inquire about the battle situation south of Lanfeng County." The combat staff responded truthfully.
Song Xilian smiled and said: "Immediately reply to Commander Li Hanhun and tell him that if he can trust me, Mr. Song, please cooperate with my 71st Army in the battle south of Lanfeng County. If we can cooperate well, we can complement each other." The Japanese defense line in Lanfeng County should be broken through tonight!"
After learning about Zhang Tianhai's preparations in Lanfeng County, Song Xilian was quite confident - let alone other things, if the Lanfeng city wall could be blown down, the frontline troops of the national army could It was effortless to break into the city. The key was that the artillery unit directly under the First Regiment of the Third Theater Zone could support it!
You must know that the artillery unit directly under the 71st Army Headquarters must be placed in the east position of Lanfeng County. Otherwise, if the east battlefield cannot be broken through, it will be very troublesome.
It should be noted that the southern battlefield can be said to be the opening of another front!
If the southern city wall is blown down, then the Japanese troops on the eastern battlefield will definitely be affected to a certain extent - such as the deployment and mobilization of troops, etc.
"Yes! Military seat!" the combat staff responded and hurried to carry out Song Xilian's military orders.
You know, Commander Song Xilian is not that kind of indecisive person. Now that he has made a decision, it must be implemented immediately.
At least on this point, Huangpu's commanders at the same time can be regarded as a relatively bright shining point.
Well, if you don’t believe me, compare it with Huang Wei?
Under Song Xilian's series of orders, the 71st Army and even the entire Lanfeng battlefield underwent some very subtle changes. That is, the battle situation to the east and south of Lanfeng County has shifted.
Yes, it changed from equal emphasis on the east and south sides to the sole emphasis on the south side!
If we talk about Yu Jishi's 74th Army, their troops are responsible for the west, and they are besieging Sanyi Village!
If we don't remove the Japanese strongholds in Sanyi Village and directly attack the western peripheral positions, we will definitely be attacked from two sides by the Japanese troops!
As the commander of an army, Yu Jishi would not make such a low-level mistake!
