Section 6 Crisis and Opportunity (3)
The officers of the battalion department did not breathe a sigh of relief until he smiled. The commander was a little bit contemptuous when he first came, and now they were completely convinced. This commander not only demanded strict requirements on the battlefield, but also demanded strict tactical discipline in the battle. The assault team covers the firepower team meticulously, but the ancestor of the Forty-Nine Army also trusted him very much, and it was useless for anyone to complain. These old men from the Southwest Development Team had to obey, so the regiment became the top main regiment of the Forty-Nine Army in just a few months. The regiment commander Zhang Lingfu was called Zhang Crazy, and was on par with Xia Yanglin, who was transferred to the 105th Division as brigade commander and was known as the desperate mafia.
At the beginning of this offensive, Zhang Xin handed over the task of opening the breakthrough to Zhang Lingfu and used artillery fire from the entire division to cover it.
"The assault company reported that it had occupied the entire village, and the remaining Japanese troops fled backwards." The battalion commander put down the microphone and reported to Zhang Lingfu.
"Appoint them not to pursue, quickly establish a position, order the Second Company to surpass them and continue the attack." Zhang Lingfu ordered without thinking.
Changjing Yincai picked up the microphone and sent the order down with some dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Lingfu was very sensitive and immediately realized that Jing Yincai was in a wrong mood.
"No, nothing," Zhang Lingfu didn't answer, but just looked at him. Jing Yincai finally couldn't help complaining: "I said, regiment commander, can you go back to regiment headquarters? This is my battalion headquarters. You are here, how can I command him? "
"So, do you think I'm disturbing your command here?" Zhang Lingfu's joy was wiped out and he asked a little gloomy.
"It's not that I think, but that I'm sure." Jing Yincai did not retreat, but instead pushed up without hesitation: "Royal Headquarters, you are the regiment commander, you should command the entire regiment. I only have one battalion here, and one regiment commander appointed by the commander is not the battalion commander."
Zhang Lingfu showed a smile on his face. This smile flashed across his face, and his expression remained serious: "Okay, you command, don't worry about me, I'll be at your command center."
However, he could not drive Zhang Lingfu away, so Jing Yincai had no choice but to nod and immediately ordered: "The battalion headquarters moved forward and ordered the second company to continue chasing, and the third company gathered in the fields on the left side of the village to standby."
Zhang Lingfu was not worried about the flanks at all. The flank protection had been handed over to friendly forces. He just kept on attacking and attacked without stopping until he hit the bank of the Yellow River.
The attack of the Central ** team was fierce. Zhang Lingfu occupied Shiji for half a day. The right-wing An Enpu attacked Fuchun. Fuchun's Japanese army fought hard until the afternoon and was forced to retreat. Honma had no choice but to draw a large brigade from Zhencheng to assist Fuchun's defenders and established a blocking position on the front line of Dongluzhuang, Wang Polou and Zhanghai Village.
Regarding the direction of the game, Honma also dispatched a brigade from the 27th Division to launch a counterattack on the game, and launched a fierce battle with the 104th Division in Zhudian and Machangzhai.
Fierce battles broke out on all fronts, and Hu Zongnan and Song Xilian also launched an attack on the Gusong Brigade of the 27th Division in front of him. Song Xilian fought hard for one day. In the evening, he defeated the Hashimoto unit in front of him and conquered Xiaoliuzhuang.
The greater progress was Hu Zongnan. The Japanese defenders in this direction were even weaker. Liukou and Lizhuang had only two squadrons of Japanese troops. After Hu Zongnan launched an attack, the defenders retreated eastward just for a little resistance, and met with the Japanese Noda United stationed in Huanglan.
The 102nd Army, which launched an attack east of Zhencheng, was stubbornly resisted by the Japanese army. It was possible for the Chinese team to rescue the siege from this direction, and Honma was prepared.
As soon as the Japanese outpost position contacted the 102nd Army, it gave up its position and retreated backwards. Sun Zhen rushed his army forward, and then the left wing was blocked in Nanshu Tower and the right wing was blocked in Haotang.
Xu Zuyi sorted out the battle situation throughout the day and was a little dissatisfied with the progress, especially the 102nd Army. They not only took on the task of inserting the Japanese army's back, but also took on the task of supporting Zhencheng. However, now both sides are blocked, the situation in Zhencheng has become even more dangerous.
"Order the troops to attack overnight, order Lan Yundong to draw a powerful force to support Zhencheng." Xu Zuyi felt the crisis of Zhencheng and dared not count on Sun Zhen anymore, and planned to consolidate Zhencheng first.
After receiving the order, Lan Yundong put the 105th Division of the reserve team into the direction of Zhencheng and launched an attack on Zhencheng overnight. Liang Dai, like Zhang Xin, placed the strongest Xiayang Forest Brigade in the front.
Xiayang, who had been trapped for a day, was like a cage and marching overnight, and launched an attack from Liyuan, southwest of Zhencheng, from Liyuan, southwest of Zhencheng, and rushed to the bottom of Zhencheng by dawn.
Yoshikazuki Kuroi Iron, the commander of the 24th Division, did not expect that the Zhong** team came from this direction. His attack on Zhencheng was in a way of surrounding three and one. The south was originally relaxed, but only after conquering the South Gate, a defense line was set up in the south. After the Zhong** team launched on the east and west sides, Masaharu Honma and Yoshikazuki Kuroi Iron, both judged that the Zhong** team was going to divide and surround our army, so they placed the main force on both wings instead of simply resolving the remaining enemies of Zhencheng. Therefore, the defense line in the south was even weaker. Therefore, Xia Yanglin's attack really caught the Japanese army off guard.
Zhong Bin heard gunfire from the south gate in the city, and immediately realized that reinforcements had arrived. During the day, the Japanese army's attacks were significantly weakened. The Japanese army drew a gang from the city to strengthen the eastern front and then a large brigade of troops to reinforce the western front. Zhong Bin's pressure was much lower, but despite this, Zhong Bin still did not think that he could survive tomorrow. The casualties of the troops were too great. After Zhong Bin judged that it was reinforcements, he immediately organized a suicide squad and launched a death squad towards the south gate.
Xia Yanglin was outside the city and Zhong Bin was inside the city. The fierce battle immediately started inside and outside the city.
At almost the same time, in a village near Xinxiang, Kazushima Kaori was soaked in a bucket with his feet in his hand, but he was holding a book in his hand, looking at it with relish. The adjutant's report came from outside the door, and he casually asked him to come in.
"Your Excellency, Major General Lu Cao, the commander of the brigade of the First Cavalry Brigade, please see you."
"Oh, no see, tell him that the resting place is ready, please rest as soon as possible." Nakashima did not raise his eyelids, and he was still looking at the book in his hand with relish.
"Your Excellency!" Major General Lucao saw the situation in the house without fighting, pushed away the adjutant in front of him and rushed in, shouting angrily: "The Yellow River is in the north and south, and Major General Nakajima has the leisure to soak his feet and read books here. Is this how you do your best for His Majesty the Emperor? Is this how you contribute to the holy war?"
