Chapter 908: The battle is tragic (Chapter 2)
After the division commander Dai Anlan argued with Commander Luo and Commander Du for a period of time, he finally got the order to evacuate after one more day of resistance.
Because everyone is still waiting to see if the newly formed 22nd Division can reach Tonggu to support the 200th Division in counterattacking the Japanese troops.
Of course, another reason is that Commander Luo and Commander Du also need to report to the Chairman, and then wait for a reply from the Chairman, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, whether they want the 200th Division to evacuate Tonggu City immediately.
Although they felt that the Chairman would preserve the evacuation of this first elite mechanized force, for the sake of safety, the two of them still reported it to the Chairman.
........
........
Soon, on the Chongqing side,
At the chairman's residence, he also received urgent telegram reports from Commander Luo and Commander Du.
After reading the contents of the telegram, the committee member felt extremely heavy and very bad.
He even wanted to get angry to vent his anger,
But in the end, after trying to control his irritable mood, he also pondered for a while, and then immediately replied to Commander Luo and Commander Du,
"Let the 200th Division evacuate out of Tonggu immediately! We absolutely cannot consume our only elite mechanized ace force in Tonggu City!"
"It's really annoying that these British troops actually treat our troops like this. If we didn't still need the support of these foreigners to fight against Japan, I really don't want to support them at all!"
"If they hadn't been so procrastinating and arrogant, our expeditionary force would be in such a crisis! These British troops are useless enough. They have so many sophisticated weapons and equipment, and they are not even those Japanese troops.
The opponents, and being chased by them, were running around, which really shocked me. It was completely unimaginable. Didn’t these British troops always say that they were the most powerful force in the past?"
"Don't they even care about the British troops? Now they are running away faster than anyone else. When they see the Japanese troops coming from a distance, they immediately flee. They are just like the traitor troops in our country.
They are all cowards!"
"What qualifications do wimps like them have to laugh at our troops? At least we have won a few battles. If our heavy firepower weapons and equipment, and ammunition supplies were not as good as those of the Japanese troops, we would have been defeated.
You will never lose to them!"
When the Chairman contacted Commander Luo via telegram, he was in a bad mood. He vented his anger in the telegram and asked Commander Luo and Commander Du to immediately issue an evacuation order to the 200th Division.
The remaining troops immediately evacuated the ancient city.
We cannot let the 200th Division be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army in Tonggu.
In response to this, Commander Luo went to carry out the mission without hesitation.
As for the rest of the chairman's irritable words, he also sent a conciliatory telegram in response.
However, regarding the evacuation instructions of the 200th Division, Commander Luo personally called and had someone send a telegram.
Soon, division commander Dai Anlan also received Commander Luo's evacuation order.
After receiving the evacuation orders from the Chairman and Commander Luo, the division commander Dai Anlan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know how many troops he could successfully evacuate with, he also knew that he could still save the lives of some officers and soldiers of the 200th Division this time and let them survive.
It's just that at this time, he didn't know that his troops had to go through many hardships before some of them survived. However, in the end, in 1949, the entire army was wiped out in the Battle of Huaihai.
In the Battle of Kunlun Pass, the division swore to defend the country to the death, avenged the enemy and achieved great results. It was a powerful and elite force to resist the Japanese. However, after withdrawing from Tonggu, the remnants of the division went through hardships before reaching Yongping, Yunnan.
The division suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and more than half of its troops were gone.
Then, he was moved to Ma Street, a suburb of Kunming, and began long-term training.
However, the evacuation has not been successful yet.
So when the division commander Dai Anlan received the order to evacuate, he quickly thought about how to direct his remaining troops to evacuate Tonggu City as soon as possible.
Because at this time, his troops had suffered more than 4,000 casualties, which was much more than the casualties in history. Therefore, he was also afraid that his troops would definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army if they continued to fight.
It fell in the same ancient period.
Especially at this time, the Japanese army had air superiority, so many officers and soldiers of the 200th Division were killed in the indiscriminate bombings of the Japanese planes.
Of course, there were also those who fought life and death battles with the Japanese army and died in battle.
Just when the division commander Dai Anlan was thinking about how to evacuate,
The Japanese troops also launched a large-scale attack again. At the same time, the air strikes of the Japanese aircraft groups were actually carried out at the same time.
This is simply fatal,
Because the Japanese plane group bombed the Tonggu City,
The Japanese infantry were also firing intensive artillery bombardments.
As for the infantry troops, there are also many who are conducting ferocious attacks on the main entrance of Tonggu City. Under the constant bombardment of tanks and artillery, the entire main entrance of Tonggu is crumbling.
Although the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division on the city wall were desperately shooting at the Japanese troops attacking the city gate, the effect was not very obvious, especially since they had to endure the aerial bombs of the Japanese planes overhead at any time and at any time.
Drop bombing.
This time the Japanese troops seemed to be engaged in a desperate battle with the 200th Division in Tonggu City. Therefore, the Japanese troops attacking the city would also be accidentally bombed by Japanese aircraft groups anytime and anywhere.
But even so, these Japs officers and soldiers still exerted their bushido spirit and the spirit of desperate suicidal charge to continuously attack the city.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Rumble, rumble! Rumble, rumble! Rumble, rumble..."
........
........
In the midst of a series of fierce explosions of aerial bombs, mixed with the fierce and dense bombardment of the Japanese artillery group, the entire outer positions of Tonggu City, as well as various positions within the city, and the city walls, were everywhere.
They were all the sounds of explosions, one after another, mixed with the sounds of a large number of dead officers and soldiers of the 200th Division, the sounds of people shouting for counterattacks, and all kinds of shrill and wailing sounds.
In short, all of a sudden, the entire Tonggu City was plunged into a raging war scene.
However, in such a fierce battle, many officers and soldiers in the Japanese siege troops were also injured or killed by the bombing.
But even so, these Japanese officers and soldiers continued to advance one after another, launching fierce attacks one after another. Their goal was only one, which was to break through Tonggu's city gate as soon as possible, enter the city, and annihilate them all.
Drop the 200th Division Headquarters,
Facing the fierce siege operations of the Japanese troops,
Many officers and soldiers of the 200th Division, including Liu Feiyang's troops, were constantly resisting tenaciously and constantly trying to find ways to avoid the bombings of the Japanese planes.
In short, the entire 200th Division in Tonggu City was plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
If there hadn't been the intensive bombing by the Japanese planes, maybe we wouldn't have been in such a difficult battle.
However, the 200th Division did not have air superiority and was still trapped in a city fighting, so the 200th Division could only passively endure the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese aircraft.
As the casualties became more and more severe, the division commander Dai Anlan also sent officers and soldiers to observe at the back door to see if evacuation could be carried out there.
Of course, it would be even better if you could stay up until night and then evacuate at the back door.
