Suddenly, Mi Zibin reacted, followed the trajectory of the shells, and shouted: "Liujiahu Village, this shell comes from the direction of Liujiahu Village!"
Several staff officers were also stunned, one of them said: "The Japanese army has set up an artillery position in Liujiahu Village. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be facing attack from the Fourth Battalion at this time. How can they have kung fu..."
But soon everyone thought of a possibility, and one person exclaimed: "No... it was Battalion Commander Fang and others who had taken down the Japanese artillery position, and they were even using Japanese artillery to launch artillery bombardment on the Japanese army at this time?"
Mi Zibin slapped his thigh, pulled off the hat on his head and laughed loudly, laughing and said, "What a Fang Cheng, what a Fang Xiaoyu. This kid did not disappoint me. He did a pretty job!"
The staff members looked at the miserable appearance of the Japanese army being bombed by their own cannons, and their faces also showed a look of understanding.
At this time, in the Japanese command center, the commander of the Seya Kiri Brigade was also the captain of the Seya Detachment, roaring at the people in the command center.
"Waste, you are all waste. Who will explain to me what the artillery position in Liujiahu Village is going on!"
Everyone in the command room was silent, and everyone guessed that an accident occurred in the artillery position. It was probably that eight out of ten had fallen into the hands of the enemy, but no one dared to touch the bad luck of Seya Kami at this time. Maybe it was really possible that the angry Seya Kami would be killed by the pissed sword.
After getting angry, Seya Kishi immediately answered the phone and said, "Check me the aviation brigade and ask them to take action to razed Liujiahu Village to the ground!"
Just above the artillery position in Liujiahu Village, a group of northwestern men were extremely excited to stuff the shells into the cannons, and then bombard them hard.
Fortunately, there were finally five or six artillery soldiers among the more than 300 people. Fang Xiaoyu didn't play, so he could just play a big game. With the help of the crowd, he finally successfully launched the artillery shells at the Japanese side.
Qian Gui was shirtless and carried a cannonball with several people. With a bang, the cannonball entered the chamber, and then everyone shouted in unison: "Fire!"
The flames of the muzzle flashed, and the shells suddenly broke out into the air.
The few people worked together to move the heavy shells again, but their faces were full of excitement. However, Fang Xiaoyu was observing the air with a serious face.
Fang Xiaoyu could imagine how angry the commander of the Japanese army was at this time. Not to mention the Japanese army, if it were him, he would have been driven crazy by someone with his own cannons.
"I think the Japanese army's revenge is already on the road at this time, either heavy artillery crushing or plane bombing!"
When 30% of the artillery shells stocked by the Japanese army were bombed out, Fang Xiaoyu's eyes shrank suddenly and saw a row of black dots appear in the distance.
Japanese bombers are here!
Fang Xiaoyu did not dare to hesitate at all, roared and shouted at his busy subordinates: "The Japanese plane is here, withdraw me!"
Fang Xiaoyu's roar was like a basin of cold water pouring down on his head. He looked at the seized cannons reluctantly, gritted his teeth and stuffed bundles of grenades into the cannon chamber.
A sound of roar came, and in a blink of an eye, several cannons were completely blown up, either the cannon chamber exploded or exploded into pieces. Anyway, no complete cannon was left.
In a blink of an eye, Fang Xiaoyu led his men into the woods, and at this time, the Japanese aviation troops also appeared above Liujiahu Village.
According to the orientation coordinates given by the Seya Detachment, bombers hovered over the sky and soon discovered the artillery position, so aviation bombs fell from the air.
Soon the entire artillery position fell into a sea of fire, and after several rounds of bombing, the entire artillery position was completely destroyed.
Fang Xiaoyu and others, who had escaped only hundreds of meters away, were lying on the ground one by one, looking at the artillery positions flying in shrapnel. Everyone was completely grateful for the forced orders of Fang Xiaoyu. Fortunately, their battalion commanders expected the enemy to be like a god. Otherwise, if they hesitated or missed for a moment, they might have been blown to death.
The Japanese planes in the air quickly completed the bombing mission and circled around and left.
Seeing that the Japanese plane left, everyone below breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Xiaoyu and others got up, looked at the people with excitement on their faces, waved their hands and said with great enthusiasm: "We're back!"
When the troops from the Fourth Camp returned to Taierzhuang, Fang Xiaoyu and others from afar saw several figures standing there waiting for them.
When I got closer, I saw that the leader was Chi Fengcheng, the commander of the 31st Division, Mi Zibin, and more than a dozen generals and soldiers. It can be said that about half of the upper-level generals of the 31st Division have arrived.
Before Fang Xiaoyu stepped forward to salute, Chi Fengcheng walked up with excitement. He smashed Fang Xiaoyu's chest with a big hand and said endlessly: "Good boy, you did a pretty job. You have made a good match for our 31st Division. Even Chief Li Zongren has known about this matter."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It's really because the Japanese were too careless, otherwise we wouldn't have taken down the artillery position so easily."
Chi Fengcheng smiled and said, "No matter what, your kid has made a lot of contributions this time. I have recorded all the things that Chief Li has to do for you, and I will reward you after the war!"
Fang Xiaoyu really has no interest in rewards. He has to leave after completing the task. Even if he is awarded a position of great importance, what is the use of it? It would be better to exchange the credit for money and give it to his poor brothers.
Fang Xiaoyu immediately told Chi Fengcheng what he thought. When he heard that Fang Xiaoyu did not ask for promotion, he only wanted to go up to the top to turn the credit into silver and money to the brothers in the fourth camp, everyone looked at Fang Xiaoyu with strange eyes.
Not to mention that Chi Fengcheng and others looked at Fang Xiaoyu in surprise, they said that the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion who returned with Fang Xiaoyu all showed gratitude.
The promotion and wealth are very far away for these soldiers. They never dreamed that Fang Xiaoyu wanted to exchange the credit for this time for money.
After looking at Fang Xiaoyu deeply, Chi Fengcheng patted Fang Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said, "I understand what you mean. I will tell Chief Li about your meaning."
Back at the defensive position of the Fourth Battalion, more than a hundred officers and soldiers of the Fourth Battalion who stayed behind couldn't help but cheer as the hero returned.
While the **** side cheered, the Japanese side also regrouped, and again amid the roar of aircraft cannons, teams of Japanese troops launched an attack on Taierzhuang.
The fierce war officially broke out, and both sides took a desperate attitude, and the National Army defended its position to the death without giving up any inch of land.
The 1st Battalion of the 186th Regiment, which was defending the north gate of Taierzhuang, resisted stubbornly under the fingers of Commander Wang Zhen and Battalion Commander Jiang Changtai, and launched hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army outside the north gate of the city to repel the Japanese army's multiple attacks.
Especially the 1st Battalion was a new recruit, almost all of whom died at the north gate of Taierzhuang. Regiment Commander Wang Zhen also personally set up a machine gun and fired at the Japanese army outside the city. That night, 200 Japanese troops broke through the small north gate and hid in the Taishan Temple near the small north gate. Regiment Commander Wang Zhen personally led his soldiers to besiege the enemy of Taishan Temple and finally wiped out it.
After a hard fight for a day, the position guarded by Fang Xiaoyu's Fourth Camp was also attacked by the Japanese army, so it was not the focus of the Japanese army's attack, so it was defeated by Fang Xiaoyu and the others.
It was also on this day that Chairman Jiang went to Xuzhou to inspect, leaving behind several military and political officials to assist Li Zongren, who was in charge of Xuzhou, to command this important battle.
In the next few days, the Japanese army attacked like desperate people, attacking Taierzhuang several times, but the Second Army also blocked the enemy with flesh and blood, and almost fought the Japanese invaders who rushed into the village again in a way that would trade life for life.
After repeated recurrence, the entire Taierzhuang was like a flesh-and-blood mill, and both sides of the enemy and us paid a heavy price in this small village.
On March 27, after receiving reinforcements, the Japanese army launched the third attack on Taierzhuang City. The Japanese army bombarded the Taierzhuang wall, the northern city wall was blown down, and the Xiaobei Gate was also destroyed. The officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 181st Regiment guarding the Xiaobei Gate were all killed. More than 300 Japanese troops broke into the city, and the fierce street fighting began. The Chinese defenders in the city launched a fierce street fighting with the Japanese aggressors.
