Chapter 13 Quickly Become an Army Complete Strategy (Part 2)
Taierzhuang, April 4, 27th year of the Republic of China.
Second Army Command.
"The 2nd Army has suffered heavy casualties. The enemy's firepower is too strong and the offensive is too fierce, but we have consumed almost the enemy. Can you please agree to temporarily retreat to the south bank of the canal so that the 2nd Army can leave some seeds, which is also the great kindness of the sir."
A tough guy is a tough guy who says such soft words that are rare in the army.
Sun Lianzhong's name is imitated by Lu, and he is from Xiongxian, Hebei Province.
This man joined the army in his early years and was originally a powerful general in the Northwest Army. During the civil war, his troops were always good at frontal defense operations and had many examples of defense becoming offensive.
At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army was really soft-hearted.
The Second Army and the Japanese army fought on the front line for ten days, and more than half of the casualties were already there.
Youqi's six regiments stationed in Taierzhuang were even more lost.
He had no reserve team at all, but Tang Enbo's troops in the 20th Army were blocked from attacking and failed to break through the Japanese defense line to meet with Sun's troops as planned.
The Japanese army, who had recovered, turned around and attacked Taierzhuang desperately.
The Second Army, which was at the end of its strength, could withstand such crazy attacks as the Japanese army.
He lost several important places in one breath, and even the core position of Taierzhuang was occupied by the Japanese.
Faced with this situation where the entire army could be wiped out at any time, Sun Lianzhong then spoke softly to the commander-in-chief.
But he has been through hard work on the battlefield for a long time, and this soft words are not his specialty.
This kind of words that were originally wailing made him say hard. The more he did, the more he felt that the weight of his words was unusual.
"Commander-in-Chief Sun, please be sure to support it for a few more hours. An independent brigade of reinforcements has departed from Xuzhou and can arrive within three hours."
Chief Li on the other side of the phone did not write a blank check to Sun Lianzhong like in the original history.
Although he does not have a large army, he still sent out the troops of an independent brigade.
Chief Li knew very well that although the Japanese Sakamoto Detachment accidentally broke into the battlefield, the 20th Legion, which was not very determined to fight, was blocked from the attack under the pressure.
However, in the final analysis, I am strong but the enemy is weak.
As long as Sun's army can support it for two or three days, the entire battle situation will not only change, but also the increase in the number of Japanese troops in the encirclement will also lead to more brilliant results.
As an excellent professional soldier, he knows well that in the stalemate of the war, if one side can survive the last five minutes, which side will become the winner.
So Commander Li sent the last brigade-level reserve team to the front line, and the Independent No. 100th Brigade, which had just been formed less than half a month ago.
When getting off the train near Taierzhuang, Cheng Jiaji was still a little unbelievable that the current situation would once again deviate from the historical trajectory.
The Japanese army's surprise attack in Linyi that day was just a small deviation.
But at this moment, the Sakamoto Detachment, which had never been close to the battlefield of Taier Manor, was actually fighting fiercely with the 20th Legion.
The unexpected appearance of this Japanese army greatly restrained the power of the Tang army, making it impossible for it to break through the Japanese defense line at noon tomorrow as recorded in the history of the original time and space.
Cheng Jiaji knew that the situation of the Taierzhuang battle at this time had reached its critical moment.
If the exhausted Second Army could no longer block the fierce attack of the 10th Japanese Division for two to three days.
Not only was the plan to wipe out the Japanese army in Taierzhuang, not only was the previous arrangement of the war zone chief's headquarters, but the plan to wipe out the Japanese army in Taierzhuang was completely failed.
What's even more, the Chinese army, which has formed a stalemate with the Japanese army, will also suffer heavy losses.
Then there would be no Taierzhuang victory, which Cheng Jiaji would never accept.
Seeing the troops who were getting off the train, Cheng Jiaji couldn't help but frowned gently.
He spent half a month trying his best to calculate the system or not, and he also had a reputation of luring friendly officers and soldiers to escape with guns, and then he gathered more than 5,000 troops.
Among these people, less than a thousand people have seen blood in wars with the Japanese, and the others are new recruits who have only learned to fire one, two, one and fire guns.
He didn't know how many of these new troops could see tomorrow's sun in this battle.
I feel so heavy when I am trying to send these new recruits who are destined to die onto the battlefield.
Cheng Jiaji led his cavalry guard platoon composed of veterans, led by a major officer sent by the Second Army to lead the way, and rushed to the headquarters of the Second Army on the north bank of the canal.
At this time, the genius was bright, and gunfire from Taier Village not far away gradually dropped.
It seems that the Japanese were exhausted after attacking all night.
Sun Lianzhong was already eager to see the reinforcement army at this time.
The fierce battle with the early morning of this night last night, the Second Army suffered extremely serious losses.
Not only was there only less than a thousand men left in the 31st Division responsible for defending Taierzhuang, but the other two divisions on both wings also lost more than half.
It can be said that after ten days of bloody battle, the Second Army has run out of energy. If there are no reinforcements, he will not know whether he can survive during the day.
Fortunately, China and Japan fought repeatedly last night, and no one could surpass the line.
"Brig Commander Cheng, how many troops have your troops arrived at the battlefield." Time is tight, and Sun Lianzhong has no time to go to the strangely young colonel brigade commander who had just been under his command.
"Report to Commander-in-Chief Sun, our brigade troops who have arrived in the war zone include a unit directly under the brigade headquarters and a large number of the 199th Regiment. The other units of our brigade headquarters can reach this place in two hours." This time, the situation was forced to lead the main battlefield of such a battle.
Cheng Jiaji had already foreseen that the team he had finally pulled up was not left, so he left the recruits and logistics agencies of the second battalion in Xuzhou to prevent the troops from being fully replenished.
"Battle Commander Cheng, I order the troops that have arrived in your army to quickly advance to the left wing defense line, replace a brigade of the 30th Division, and stay there for at least one day." Sun Lianzhong did not dare to count on Cheng Jiaji's troops to have a strong combat power.
