Because the remaining remaining troops in Teng County were evacuated under the cover of the 59th Army!

The Japanese army did not repair it in Teng County, which led to the Taierzhuang war beginning nearly a week earlier than in time and space!

But this does not mean that the degree of tragedy will be slightly worse than in time and space. Even, because the tens of thousands of troops located on both wings of Taierzhuang are "sweeping the snow in front of the door", they have no intention of dividing troops to support Taierzhuang on the central battlefield.

The two Japanese infantry brigades even placed on the flanks to ensure safety in the later stage of the battle, and all the troops that were placed on the flanks to attack Taierzhuang.

Tang Dao could not see it with his own eyes, but through Wu and the two commanders Zhang turned around, the division headquarters sent a report to the Fifth War Zone, but you can see it all!

"On the morning of March 18, more than 2,000 Japanese troops, with the cooperation of planes, cannons and tanks, began to attack our positions.

The 1st Battalion of the 186th Regiment, which was defending the north gate of our Taierzhuang position, resisted stubbornly under the command of Commander Wang Zheng and Commander Jiang, and launched hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army outside the north gate of the city to repel the Japanese attacks. Because the 1st Battalion was a new recruit, almost all of them died in the north gate position in this battle, and Commander Jiang died for his country."

On the night of March 18, 200 Japanese troops broke through the Xiaobei Gate and hid in the Taishan Temple near the Xiaobei Gate. Regiment Commander Wang Zheng personally led his soldiers to besiege the enemy of the Taishan Temple and finally wiped out it.

On the 19th, the Japanese army repeatedly attacked all over our positions and attacked the village many times. Our troops fought tenaciously and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army."

"On the 20th, the Japanese army bombarded the Taierzhuang city wall with heavy artillery. The north 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, and more than 300 Japanese troops broke into the city!"

"On the 21st, the Japanese army invaded the northwest corner of Taierzhuang and sought to seize the west gate, trying to cut off the contact between our division headquarters and the various divisions in the village. The commander of our division personally commanded and suppressed the Japanese army with artillery fire. He also organized a 60 suicide squad with the division guard battalion to fight with the enemy and finally regained the position!"

"On the 22nd, the Japanese Seya Detachment provided support with troops and occupied the eastern half of our position! Defend the 2nd Battalion of the 186th Regiment of the position, killing 500 people!"

"On the 23rd, the Japanese army completely occupied all the peripheral positions of our division. Our division stationed the third peripheral regiments, and all suffered more than 70% casualties. The first regiment was surrounded by Japanese invaders and cut off contact with our division headquarters. There were only two battalions of soldiers left in the core position!"

.........

In just six days, an infantry division with four infantry regiments and two direct battalions roughly counted that more than 5,000 casualties were more than 5,000. You can imagine how fierce the battle was.

At this time, the teacher was already exhausted!

However, the Japanese army still did not completely occupy the entire Taierzhuang position, and at least one-third of the position is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese army.

Perhaps, they only need two more days to completely occupy this position they dream of and completely kill opponents that caused them major damage.

Unfortunately, Tang Dao knew that they had no chance.

Not only are they already at the end of their strength, but also because the 59th Army and the 63rd Army have already moved.

Perhaps it was not just these two infantry troops, but the general surnamed Tang did not seek action in war, but his vision of taking credit was excellent.

An infantry army under his command actually followed the order of the Fifth War Zone and marched from his original garrison a hundred miles away.

The three infantry troops set out around the evening of the 23rd. When the Japanese reconnaissance planes found that countless Chinese troops were siegeing the city at 8 o'clock in the morning, the three infantry vanguard regiments were less than 10 kilometers away from Taierzhuang.

20 miles, for the light infantry advancing at full speed, it only takes 2 hours.

I don't know what the Japanese reconnaissance pilot was so scared, but half an hour later, the two Japanese troops on both wings of Taierzhuang immediately withdrew from the completely occupied position in the village. The scene of a large number of supplies fleeing to the north without any time to drag them away, which showed their inner panic.

In just one night, the Japanese army who had originally occupied the victory and even wanted to run to Xuzhou to work hard to survive. This really made the indoor chiffon, who was still waiting for good news for victory in Pingcheng, want to shout "Baga!"

However, the tens of thousands of imperial infantrymen were killed without waiting for him to start chopping the table with knives, and quickly called the staff of the Operations Department to ask where the troops closest to the Japanese army were and whether they could divide their troops to reinforce there.

But unfortunately, the Japanese army closest to the unit is 60 miles away. What's more serious is that the Japanese army faces three times their Chinese army. If they give up their already-developed positions, whether they can protect themselves is a problem.

The indoor shrouded by the bad news seemed to have forgotten that in the entire Battle of Xuzhou, Japan invested more than 200,000 troops, but China, which lacked firepower, invested nearly 600,000 in order to compete with it.

"It's over!" The commander of the general and commander of the Japanese North China Front Army at that time collapsed on a gentle spring morning and let out such a wail!

It was for the two Japanese infantry brigades that began to run away frantically, and for themselves.

He knew that if the war between Jindong and he lost more than 4,000 people, he might be able to throw all the blame to Xiong Yuan, which idiot, but if two infantry brigades were lost in this battle, no one could take the blame, and only he, the commander of the front army, would take it!

"The Chinese have premeditated this!" Lieutenant General Fumiko Kawakishi, who also had no eyes, suddenly realized.

The indoor shroud waved his hand and didn't want to talk nonsense to his subordinate. At this time, can't you tell that this is what the Chinese have planned for a long time? Isn't he even more pig than a pig?

Could it be that the sixty or seventy thousand Chinese people fell from the sky? They were all Chinese people who had been waiting for this day for a long time!

Pig: I'm really tied up!

Both the general commander and the lieutenant general chief of staff of the Japanese North China Front Army knew that the two infantry brigades with more than 10,000 people were finished.

Yes, although the Japanese gave at least two hours of early warnings to these two Japanese troops because of their reconnaissance planes. The Japanese army's marching speed is naturally not slow, at least faster than the Chinese soldiers, but will the Chinese army give them a chance?

The first ones to pounce on must be light infantry first. After marching at any cost, the 2-hour time difference will be compensated soon.

The light infantry does not need to fight the Japanese army desperately. All they have to do is delay them and reduce their marching speed. When the main force arrives, it will be the end of the Japanese.

As for whether the Japanese army wanted to abandon all the baggage and heavy artillery and turned into light infantry, a wave of pure light infantry came to the wilderness of northern Jiangsu?

Then they really dare not.

Because they could not determine whether there was a Chinese army hidden on their way forward. If another one came and they lost artillery and tanks, they could only let the Chinese army with four or five times more troops than them, and they did not even have the power to resist.

The two Japanese infantry brigades, anxious but worried about gains and losses, did not have the opportunity to occupy the county town like in time and space. When their vanguard was still ten miles away from the county town, the flag of a 59th Army infantry regiment was planted above the city walls of the county town.

The county occupied by an infantry regiment was enough to make this Japanese army attack for half a day!

Obviously, they didn't have this time, and the Chinese army closest to them was approaching ten miles away.

The two Japanese major generals who completely lost their last hope showed extraordinary courage at this moment. They built fortifications on the spot on a hilly field, trying to hold on to wait for assistance.

The reason for making the Japanese army decide to defend the country is also very simple. The empire will not abandon tens of thousands of imperial warriors.

Yes, the North China Front Army will certainly not give up on this imperial army that was already bloody in the battle of Taierzhuang. What's more, these two infantry brigades, one of the Fifth Division belongs to Itagaki Seirou and the 10th Division belonging to Isotani Ryo, both belonging to the ace troops.

Indoor shrouds cannot be reinforced by infantry on the battlefield, but it is possible to dispatch large-scale bomber formations to carry out air strikes on the pursuing Chinese troops.

Unfortunately, this battle to lure the enemy was completed under the personal command of the commander of the Fifth War Zone of China. I had long expected this move by the Japanese.

In order to ensure the annihilation of this Japanese army, this man almost took time out all the air defense battalions in Xuzhou City and almost turned his base camp into an air-safety.

A total of six air defense battalions, dozens of 20mm anti-aircraft guns and 8 88mm anti-aircraft guns all entered the Taierzhuang battlefield.

The war has not begun yet, and the ground and air battle will come first!

During the explosion of bullets in the sky, nearly 6 Japanese aircraft were shot down in the service, but they failed to prevent nearly 70,000 people from 6 infantry divisions of the three infantry troops from siegeing more than 10,000 Japanese remnants.

By 5 p.m., the last gap in the encirclement was blocked!

The Chinese army, which had been extremely tired overnight, did not give the Japanese army any time to breathe. Six infantry divisions gathered more than 40 artillery pieces to launch a total of up to 2 hours of artillery bombardment on the Japanese army in the encirclement.

Usually, a Japanese infantry division has 60 artillery pieces of various caliber, which is far better than a Chinese infantry army.

Even when these two elite infantry brigades came, they each carried 105 howitzers, 75 mountain cannons, and 75 field cannons, and the total number was more than 30 artillery pieces, which was not something that a single infantry army could compete with.

But this time, there were three infantry troops, and the six infantry divisions under them had different caliber artillery, ranging from 82mm mortars to 75mm mountain cannons, and even some Italian cannons. I won’t talk about their power for now. The key is to be large and full.

At least in terms of heavy firepower, this time the Chinese army is worth the Japanese remnants.

After two hours of crazy artillery bombardment, after statistics, more than 3,000 shells were fired, and an average of more than 80 shots were fired per cannon.

Among them, the 63rd Army and the 59th Army were the best. They carefully prepared for this battle for more than a month. Two lieutenant generals guarded the military commander of the war zone for one day, just to drag dozens of artillery shells back.

No matter how hard the past few battles were, I was reluctant to let go of my hands and feet and fired. I waited for this day.

In this first artillery battle between the two infantry troops consumed 70% of the number of artillery shells they carried.

Although the infantry army under the 20th Army did not shoot so many shells, they could not stand the headmaster's lineage, and the equipment was good!

The 12 shots were all the latest Bofos mountain cannons. Not only did they have a long range, but they also had accurate shooting, and they even dared to fire against the Japanese 105 howitzer.

He said with Tang Dao's original words: These dogs are fighting head-on and not seeking action, but they still work hard to hit the dogs!

If the Japanese army who were very good at civil fortifications came for a few more hours, they might be able to carry it with trenches and anti-aircraft holes and the overwhelming waves of artillery shells. Unfortunately, the Chinese people opposite them were very clear about their characteristics, and at most they gave them time to dig trenches half a meter deep.

Without enough fortifications to cover it, the Japanese finally realized the pain their opponents encountered in Songhu.

Seeing that an infantry squad was integrated with the position under the Chinese artillery fire, they could do nothing.

By 8 o'clock at night, a total of 6 infantry regiments tried to attack the Japanese invaders. The exhausted Japanese army also burst out with extremely strong combat power. They launched a counterattack against nearly 10,000 people whose troops were no less than themselves. In two hours, they repelled four rounds of attacks from the Chinese army.

However, they had no time to cheer for their victory, and another wave of attacks came.

Because the Chinese army has invested 6 infantry regiments, and what's even more serious is that the numbers are different.

The biggest advantage of the Chinese army over the Japanese army at this time is not how fierce the firepower is, but that we have many people.

There are as many as 20 infantry regiments in the front line alone. If the direct battalions and reserves of each division are added, there can be a total of 33 infantry regiments.

This night alone, you can change it for nearly 6 waves!

Moreover, the temporary command center headed by Chief Wu did the same this time. In order to avoid Ye Changmeng being run away by this wave of Japanese troops, they decided to resolve the battle in the shortest time.

Throughout the night, a total of 24 infantry regiments were dispatched to attack the Japanese positions in turn, and the battle did not stop all night.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! By the early morning, many Japanese soldiers whose eyes were red and their eyes were red and cried excitedly.

Because they thought they would never see the morning sun again, but in the end, they still had the chance to see it.

Then, the sound of cannons rang again!

The battle is coming again.

The three infantry troops have formed an iron barrel formation, but the attack points are roughly only four corner points, southeast, west and northeast. The infantry troops under the 63rd Army and the 20th Army are each responsible for one, and the 59th Army is responsible for two of them, and three are focused on attacks, and one is mainly based on feint attacks.

When it comes to the infantry division, it uses a rotating combat system. After one infantry regiment fights for 2 hours, it immediately retreats to the trenches that have been dug behind to rest. Another infantry regiment goes on. This goes back and forth, an infantry regiment can rest for about 6 hours in 24 hours.

The Chinese army is crowded, so it can be done like this, the Japanese can't stand it!

Two nights and one day, the Japanese army resisted the attacks of Chinese troops whose troops and firepower were stronger than theirs, and fully interpreted the combat effectiveness of the Japanese elite division.

Even Commander Wu, who had fought fiercely with the 10th Japanese Army in Songjiang, was secretly amazed at the combat effectiveness of this wave of Japanese troops.
