Chapter 184: The Great Victory of Ren'an Qiang
When the Japanese army learned that the only enemy was left in front of them was the expeditionary army. They also wanted to encircle and annihilate the prisoners of John's bull and European and American expatriates to achieve political goals. The angry Japanese army launched a full-line attack on the morning of the 20th, but Sun Liren, who was in charge of command, was prepared and made steady progress based on the fortifications, so that the Japanese army wanted to quickly break through the plan to pursue the British army and broke the bank.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after a day of attack, the Japanese soldiers stopped the attack in a slump. Colonel Sakuma had to order a squadron soldiers to be responsible for the guard and monitor the expeditionary army opposite. The other soldiers began to rest and have dinner. His original intention was to accumulate energy and then take down Ren'anqiang in one go, but this order ruined everyone in.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Sun Liren, who was defending Ren'anqiang, finally waited for Wu Siren's telegram. Sun Liren issued an order to the defensive army: "Damage all the shells and the counterattack begins."
"Tun!Tun!..." After the cannon was released, it made a dull sound like raindrops. Fireballs swept across the night sky and plunged into the Japanese army's positions. The explosions suddenly rumbled one after another.
The Japanese were stunned by the first shelling alone, and the chaos caused was unimaginable, because the Japanese army would never have thought that the Expeditionary Force would launch such shelling, and even more unexpectedly, they launched an attack on them in the middle of the night. The Japanese in the position were blown away from flesh and blood, and ghosts cried and howled.
Colonel Sakuma tried hard to push away the orderly soldier who had turned into a corpse, and his ears were still buzzing. At the critical moment, the dedicated soldier protected him with his life.
The shelling stopped, and the explosion turned into the screams and groans of the Japanese wounded soldiers. In fact, this shelling caused at most hundreds of casualties, but the psychological blow to the Japanese soldiers was heavy.
Commander Seimasa decided to give up the attack on Ren'anqiong first and prepare to retreat and adjust first. He was afraid that if he dragged on, he would have unpredictable difficulties.
Unfortunately, his order was still too late. Just as he was commanding the troops to gather, a sound of shelling came from behind.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The sudden shells poured onto the Japanese like rainstorms. For a moment, blood and blood flew across the Japanese positions again, screaming for the fourth period.
As soon as the sound of shells stopped, a large group of expeditionary soldiers, carrying submachine guns, rushed towards the Japanese behind dozens of tanks.
"They want to surround us and withdraw quickly."
Colonel Sakuma looked at the expeditionary army attacking from behind, and his heart sank to the bottom.
"This was a premeditated. The artillery fire was rushing and the roundabout encirclement was so clever, and the time was just right. We couldn't hesitate anymore. All teams rushed to break through. If we were late, we would all die here." Colonel Sakuma immediately summoned several officers and quickly issued the order. He decided to abandon all the wounded, open a path with all his strength, and break through the encirclement.
Looking at the scattered Japanese, Wu Siren frowned, called a messenger, and ordered: "Notify them and chase the Japanese who fled in the company, and return after half an hour."
Colonel Sakuma led his guards to escape to the rear in a mess. The gunshots around him rang out from all directions, and no large-scale guns and cannons were heard, which instead gave him a more unpleasant premonition.
"boom!"
Colonel Sakuma's body shook, and his body seemed to be hit hard by a truck. With the impact of a wave of air, he flew up in an instant. Then he felt the whole world collapse at this moment, causing him to fall into the boundless abyss, sink, fall, and finally fall into the boundless darkness...
This was a grenade fired by Liu Liguang, chasing Colonel Sakuma and the Japanese around him to pieces. It was his military uniform and telescope that betrayed him.
The Japanese running in front were startled by the explosion behind them. Before they could turn around, another grenade exploded in the crowd. With the explosion, various gunfires were shot at them from all directions.
Liu Liguang rushed a few steps excitedly, ran to the body of the colonel Sakuma, took off the other party's sword, and said happily: "I have a gift for the commander now."
"Captain, time is up, will we continue to chase after you?" a special forces member rushed over and asked.
"Sweep the battlefield, we will evacuate in five minutes." Liu Liguang checked the equipment and said dissatisfiedly: "Damn it, if I hadn't been out of ammunition, all these Japanese devils would not have escaped."
At this time, several Japanese wounded soldiers lying on the ground moaned and twisted, their blood-stained faces looked very ferocious, and they looked at the chasing special forces team members with obscure eyes and showed begging eyes.
Liu Liguang sneered and looked at the Japanese injuries and said in Japanese: "I have no medicine and no leisure to help you. The only thing I can do is to let you get rid of as soon as possible."
"Damn Chinese..., you don't talk about international conventions, ah!" The Japanese wounded soldier finally screamed and died under Liu Liguang's bayonet.
"Dispose the remaining Japanese quickly and we will evacuate immediately." After Liu Liguang's cruel orders, the Japanese screams kept ringing around him, and finally returned to peace.
In the Ren'anqiang command center, Wu Sairen waved, rejected the coffee brought by the guards, spread out the map and said, "I will inform you, use a day to sort out the supplies and retreat to Tonggu."
Sun Liren said unwillingly: "Commander, we have defeated the Japanese army. We can completely renovate Ren'anqiang and continue to block the Japanese here."
"Things are not that simple. John's cow has evacuated. Here we cannot get supplies effectively. If we lose air supremacy, we will suffer a lot of losses. Besides, if the Japanese do not upend South Asia, how can we show our role?"
In fact, Wu Siren didn't say anything thoroughly because there were other generals around him. If the Japanese did not destroy the colonial regime in South Asia, it would be very unfavorable for his future plans.
"Damn, these British guys can't fight, so they're the first to escape." Sun Liren finally said helplessly: "Commander, then I'll go down and organize it right away."
Wu Siren came here this time and only brought one division's troops. He fought unexpectedly and stopped when he saw the situation. He could avoid the expansion of the war and effectively protect the strength of the expeditionary force.
Although Stilwell strongly advocated that Wu Siren lead the expeditionary army to launch a counterattack based on Ren'anqiang, he still led his army to retreat to Ren'anqiang despite opposition from all sides.
According to post-war statistics, this battle eventually eliminated about 3,600 Japanese devils, which can be said to be another brilliant victory.
The news was sent back to the mountain city, and Chang Kaishen held a press conference as soon as possible and announced the victory to the whole world.
The great victory of Ren'anqiang was one miracle after another in military terms. The expeditionary army defeated the more with few, defeated the main with few, and saved the crowd with few. This battle not only showed that the Chinese army had strict training and strong morale, but also showed that the Chinese commanders had outstanding generals, high judgment ability, superhuman tactical vision, and bold, meticulous and decisive handling. They fully carried forward the virtues of Chinese soldiers sacrificing themselves to save others and not betrayal to the alliance.
