Chapter 25 Capture Cangshan (2)

At 1:00 p.m. on April 8, the south gate tower of Cangshan County.

At this time, Cangshan City had been restored by the Chinese army half an hour ago, and all the general-level officers of the attacking detachment were ordered to come here for a meeting.

Cheng Jiaji arrived relatively late among the participants, which was also related to the attack on Cangshan County, and the Independent 100 Brigade as the reserve team did not participate directly in the battle, so he was stationed outside the city.

This is what Xu Shenzuo means to make the Independent 100 Brigade as a reserve team. The reason on the table is that the Independent 100 Brigade suffered too much casualties in the Battle of Luzuo, and there is also a meaning to balance the military achievements of each unit under the table. This is the limelight that the Independent 100 Brigade and the temporary 174 Brigade are not allowed to leave.

For the same consideration, the 174th Brigade was just a job of assisting in this battle.

Cheng Jiaji did not think anything was wrong with Xu Shenzuo's thoughts. He could not fight alone. It was one of the responsibilities of being a leader. Taking advantage of this opportunity to have a good rest as well.

"Half an hour ago, the chief commander of the theater commander came with an urgent telegram. The chief commander ordered our headquarters to leave a brigade of troops to defend Cangshan City, and the main force attacked and advanced to the Hengshan line in Nanqiao Town, Lanling Town, to complete the combat mission of joining forces with the Second Group and the Sixtyth Army to completely wipe out the Japanese Segu Detachment." Xie Hong, the new deputy director of the Chief of Staff of the Attack Detachment, announced the latest combat order for the theater.

"Our army has just captured Cangshan County, and its morale is strong. I am willing to defeat the stubborn enemy again for the vanguard of the army!" The commander Zhan, who led his troops to capture Cangshan County, seemed to be in high spirits at this time. As soon as Xie Hong finished speaking, he stood up to grab the vanguard's job. The language was a bit too much. It was a bit arrogant when he stood there with his tall figure and talked.

"With the help of two brigades, a division took two and a half hours to eat four or five hundred Japanese logistics soldiers, and even burned almost all military supplies. What's so amazing about this kind of military record? Do you really think his troops are invincible in the world? If you really have such a strong force, your Third Army would not have run from Jinan to Henan in one breath." Wen Songyuan, who was sitting next to Cheng Jiaji, said in a low voice. He had always been worried about the fact that his troops could not participate in the attack on Cangshan County. Originally, Cheng Jiaji's head position should have been Yu Juncai and Gao Shiying, but these two were busy rectifying the troops, and the other was in charge of counting the newly seized (three Japanese military vehicles hit the arms of the Independent 100 Brigade while transporting supplies to Cangshan.) Japanese supplies. Wen Songyuan was clamoring to come to the city to take a look, and Cheng Jiaji brought him here.

Wen Songyuan was stabbed hard by Cheng Jiaji with his hand, and then he closed his mouth that was always in trouble.

After packing up his brother without restraint, Cheng Jiaji turned his eyes to Chang Jing, who was sitting opposite him.

Chang Jing was also observing Cheng Jiaji's expression at this time. The two of them had a smile on their faces, and they both understood that the other party did not want to rob the glory of being the main attacker.

The two young voyage leaders who were in the same spirit did not speak. The commander of the lieutenant general, the guerrilla detachment, who was already the deputy commander during the Northern Expedition, was already an old man, and he would not be the first to be the first.

As a result, the 80th Division became the right army of the entire army as its main attack force as its wish. The 174th Brigade and the Independent 100 Brigade were the left and middle army respectively. The lieutenant general was the leader of the detachment.

The Military Commission and the theater were both pressing tightly, and the attacking detachment did not dare to neglect. At 2:00 p.m. on April 8, the entire army set out from Cangshan County and divided into three groups to Nanqiao Town, Hengdian and Lanling Town. These three places are the locations of the command and logistics departments of the Segu Detachment. As long as this place is taken, the Segu Detachment will be shaken all over.

In these three places, the Lanling Town, which the right-wing army is going to attack, is the detachment of the Japanese Segu Detachment and its location is the main distribution point for the Japanese military supplies. I think there will be many Japanese troops defending Lanling Town, and it must be a place that is not easy to fight. However, the contribution of this defeat of the command center of the Segu Detachment is also great, not to mention the benefits of seizing a large amount of Japanese military supplies. If the 80th Division wants to make great contributions and make a fortune, it must be a strong match with the Japanese.

As for the attack targets of Hengdian and the 174th Brigade, which were to be captured by the 100th Independent Brigade, Nanqiao Town, which was also the key points of the Japanese army's logistics, its importance to the Japanese army was far less important than that of Lanling Town, and it was still easier to attack.

An hour before the attacking detachment attacked the Seya Detachment, the Sixty Army (the 184th Division) set out from Sushan Town. The Sixty Army headquarters led two divisions to force their troops through Ichimoto and launched an attack on Sakamoto Detachment. It also planned to capture the troops of an independent brigade of the military and block the road that the Japanese Seya Detachment approached the Sakamoto Detachment.

At 12 o'clock today, the Second Army also launched a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese army in front of Taierzhuang with the cooperation of the 184th Division of the 60th Army. For a time, the Chinese army was imposing and seemed to swallow the Japanese Sega Detachment in one bite.

The 20th Legion in Guposhan area may be the most tight Chinese army on the battlefield in Xubei. Nearly 60,000 soldiers of the five and a half divisions have fought with the 20,000 Japanese troops for more than ten hours. Both sides were red-eyed, and even the commander of the legion who usually likes to preserve their strength was concerned about the casualties of his own troops. In his words, it was at this moment: "It is better to fight for light, and it is better to fight for light than white light, at least it is worthy of the commission and the Chinese people."

At about 4:00 this morning, after a bloody battle, the Japanese Hata Detachment had just opened a breakthrough of about a mile wide from the front of the defense line of the 110th Division, and was about to expand the results. When the two Japanese squadrons passed through a wide open area, they met the 330 Brigade, the general reserve team of the 20th Corps, who was ordered to reinforce the 110th Division. The two sides met unexpectedly in the open area. After a hand-to-hand battle, they did not survive in less than half an hour.

The same luck of the 330 Brigade was not better. The follow-up troops of the two Japanese brigades rushed up, and there was another close combat and night battle. This time, the 330 Brigade commander was killed, and the two regiments were also seriously injured. As the 330 Brigade was about to collapse. Fortunately, the secret service regiment of the Legion headquarters came up, and then the troops of the 110 Division also came up, and the three Chinese troops worked together to drive the Japanese out of the position.

The two armies in other directions also suffered huge losses. The 85th Army and Sakamoto Detachment were on the same mountain. The two sides fought for more than ten hours, and no one could drive anyone down the mountain. The soil on the mountain made the soldiers on both sides red. More than a dozen peaks of this mountain changed hands, and the owners were different every hour.

The Fifty-two Army first tried hard to completely wipe out the guard corps of the Japanese Hatan Detachment. Then, a strengthening corps of the Japanese Hatan Detachment defeated a division vanguard. If the commander had not been in good command, the Fifty-two Army might have been defeated in person. Even so, the Fifty-two Army would have suffered a lot of damage. Although it still retained a certain combat power, it would have lost the strength to move forward.

Under such a bloody battle, the Chinese army and the Japanese were dying, and both sides finally could not fight at 12 noon on the 8th.

Both the Chinese army and the Japanese army were forced to stop and began to confront each other on the spot.

In fact, both sides fought against each other, just waiting for the reinforcements from the side to come up and defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. Both sides also guessed that the other party was thinking the same as they were.

The commanders of both sides were praying to the gods they believed in that reinforcements from their side could be elected and arrived.

It is said that it is more effective in China's local gods.

On April 8, at 2 p.m., there were finally a dense sound of gunfire behind the Sakamoto Detachment.
