Chapter 557: Insidious Seya Kai
"Tang Xiaoying is a good boy. This battle actually caused nearly 800 casualties to the Japanese army. OK, okay!" Leng Feng received a telegram from the team and his surprise was beyond words. £∝
Since this kid entered the Yasha Camp, Tang Xiaoying's progress has been obvious to all. In fact, with this kid's military achievements, there is no problem with mentioning the captain's rank.
Leng Feng didn't suppress it either, but he took the initiative to ask him to hone his skills for a while. Leng Feng was very optimistic about this guy's modest and unprideful personality, so he also took extra care of him.
Unexpectedly, this kid made a big splash in the defense of Teng County, which made Leng Feng look so shameless.
"But we also suffered more than 600 casualties." Xie Jiyuan said heavy.
"This casualty ratio is amazing. In the battle between GJ and the Japanese army, how many of them win the battles are weak and the strong, and how they can control the damage to less than the Japanese army. You can't take us as an example!" Guo Weiquan opened his mouth to refute when he saw Xie Jiyuan, and immediately added a sentence to the back.
"Okay, Guo Weiquan, you are getting more and more polite now!" Xie Jiyuan's words were blocked and pointed at Guo Weiquan and cursed.
"No matter what, this is a rare victory." Leng Feng said, "Where have Liang Dong and the others?"
"Yan Village, west of Teng County, is about twenty miles away from the county town."
"That's under the Japanese's eyes and nose!" Leng Feng exclaimed, was Liang Dong's movements a little bold?
"According to their investigation, the Japanese army did not have much troops west of Teng County, but they only encircled the Teng County defenders and successively occupied several important transportation obstacles. The rest of the places had not yet been sent to occupy them!" Long Yingqin reported.
"That's right. If the Japanese army occupied one by one, it would consume a lot of their troops, and they wouldn't have to fight this battle."
"The Japanese army's tactics have not changed today. It seems that they are quite conceited, or obsessed with the powerful feeling of crushing group charges."
"The Japanese are not that stupid. With such huge casualties, I think unless the Japanese commander is a madman, they will change their tactics below." Leng Feng said.
"Well, do you want to remind Tang Xiaoying to be careful?"
"We should remind you that at this time, you must be steady. Once you make an impatient move, you will suffer a great loss." Leng Feng nodded.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram to Tang Xiaoying now."
The smoke of gunpowder did not dissipate over Teng County. The Japanese army's revenge artillery fire once again attacked. Before and after, the Japanese army smashed nearly 40,000 artillery shells in a small county like Teng County.
This is the Japanese army, with a big family and a big business. If it were GJ, a battle would not have had such a wealthy shell.
Teng County, a thousand-year-old ancient city, has completely gone to war, and the cultural relics that have been preserved for hundreds or thousands of years have also been destroyed. These represent the inheritance of a civilization and are gone.
There was no time to feel sorry for the fight.
The underground command center of Xiguan Power Plant, listening to the deafening explosion outside, the soil above the head fell from time to time, and everyone's face was not good-looking. The underground command center had been reinforced with steel and concrete before, otherwise, such a bombardment would be unbearable and would have collapsed long ago.
The Japanese can bombard and bomb endlessly, while the defenders can only hide in underground air raid shelters or tunnels, waiting silently, and may be buried alive at any time.
What kind of mood is this?
"There is an order on the top of the peak, and we will actually break through tonight. The direction of the breakthrough is Wang Dong, enter the Xionger Mountain area, and then move towards Zaozhuang and Yicheng."
"Why didn't you go south and join the Second Army?"
"The Second Army fought fiercely with the 63rd Japanese Regiment. They can't get through now, so they can only try their best to hold back the main force of the Japanese army." The telecommunications staff member reported with a pale face.
"It seems that we can only rely on ourselves!" Wang Zhizhong gritted his teeth and punched him hard on the table.
"Commander-in-chief, don't we still have a force to support us?" Chief of Staff Zhao Weibin reminded.
"Yes, I almost forgot that we still have reinforcements." A flash of excitement flashed across Wang Zhizhong's face, "Xiao Tang, when will the troops that will be able to arrive?"
"It has arrived, but they cannot show up yet. They must wait until evening. The Japanese army is not accustomed to field battles, which is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the troubled waters!" Tang Xiaoying said.
"Okay, then we will grit our teeth and persevere until dark!"
"Xiao Tang, is the reinforcements that are supporting us Honorary Division, or other teams?" Zhao Weibin asked curiously. Tang Xiaoying was born in Honorary Division, and they all knew that Honorary Division had already retreated to Wuhan.
In Xuzhou, there is only one unit with the Honorary First Division, that is, the new 38th Brigade stationed in Taierzhuang. Although this unit is brigade-level, it has a force of more than 10,000 troops, which is simply the size of a division and is well-equipped. It can be said that it is not as good as the fifth war zone.
"This is a temporary team. Before I saw them, I didn't know what troops they belong to." Tang Xiaoying understood that he could not say something yet.
Understood!
Everyone is smart, so why bother to say it so thoroughly? As long as it is your own people, it is meaningless to pursue this at this time.
With Tang Xiaoying's team here, the above will definitely not ignore it. Even if the Fifth War Zone does not have the ability to manage it, the Honorary First Division can ignore it. With the relationship between the Honorary First Division and the New 38th Brigade, it is definitely not a difficult task to ask the New 38th Brigade to send troops to help.
Moreover, judging from the orders of the Shangfeng and the chosen retreat direction, it is also the defense zone of the New 38th Brigade. Obviously, this is a tacit action.
As for why I didn't tell them clearly, I probably had other considerations, so I could only ask about these things after they broke through and became safe.
Outside the city, on the bank of the Nansha River, the Japanese Frontier Command.
Se Takehei's face was very pale. He boasted that Haikou could occupy Fuji County within half a day. As a result, half a day passed and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties. Fuji County remained unmoved. How could that small city that could not detect any life characteristics have such powerful combat power?
They don’t have much power anymore, maybe they will be completely destroyed if they attack again!
"Your Excellency, please give me another chance!" Se Takehei lowered his head and begged the division commander Risuke Isotani.
A trace of beast-like terrifying light flashed in Ryosuke Isotani's eyes. The Battle of Fuji Prefecture was a major shame in his military career. He commanded a powerful army like steel, but there were not even a few cannons. Those with poor equipment needed to use spears or big swords to fight hand-to-hand.
This made him feel embarrassed. That guy Seishiro Itagaki didn't know how to laugh at him. Even the general of Nishioji also sent a telephone to ask when he would capture Tencent and go south to Xuzhou.
The Japanese army on the northern front, as the main attack force, was blocked from advancing, while the Japanese army on the southern front was unstoppable, defeating zgjd step by step, and their morale was as strong as a rainbow.
General Shin-six Hata had already clamored to suggest to the base camp that the Southern Army would take on the combat mission of attacking Xuzhou, so that the Japanese army on the Northern Army would assist and restrain it.
This made the proud Earl Toichi Sakachi of the Temple unbearable.
Even if he meets Xuzhou, he must have the troops of the North China Front Army under his command occupy Xuzhou first. A coward like Hata Shunji, who was scared by an unknown junior, was not qualified to enjoy such glory!
As the advancement of the southern battlefield, Hata Shunrok finally made a proud look.
"Your Excellency, you can't repeat the morning attack anymore. We must change our tactics." Setani Kei hurriedly persuaded. He knew Isotani Ryosuke's personality and liked to fight head-on. This is the habit of many old-school soldiers. Most of them rose in the army in this way, so they have a special liking for tactics such as wave battle charge.
"If you follow your method, can you quickly take down this small county town?" Isotani Ryosuke said with a fierce look. He had decided that if he occupied this county town, he would never leave any prisoners, kill them all, and build a Jingguan to commemorate the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire who died!
"Setani, do you think these mice will listen to you and will come out obediently?" Se Takehei asked angrily.
"How can you know if you don't try it?" Setani Kei said slowly.
"Setani, what do you want to do?"
"During the day, I think they will never break through anyway. Only at night, tonight is the last chance. If they choose to stay, then they will have to stay all by tomorrow." Setani said, "I plan to let the 63rd Regiment deliberately show weakness when approaching the evening and retreat five kilometers to make the Zhonggj team feel that there is a chance to approach Teng Prefecture. If the Chinese army in Teng Prefecture communicates smoothly with the outside world, they will definitely know the news, and then they will inevitably make relevant reactions. If I am their commander, choosing to break through is the wisest choice. In the previous two days of battle, I deliberately left Simon without attacking with all my strength..."
Isotani Ryosuke and Se Takehei both saw Setani Kei's expressions slightly changed. This kid actually kept a move two days ago and only said it now.
Especially Ryosuke Isotani, he was very unhappy. Doesn’t this show that his division commander is not as good as his brigade commander, Segaya Kei?
Setani Kei didn't know what Isotani thought. The tactics he used were too pediatric. Isn't this what the "three circumferences and one" mentioned in the art of war? All Chinese people who have learned thirty-six strategies know it.
Yanzhuang, three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Captain, there is a situation!"
"What's the situation?" Liang Dong lay up from the haystack, holding a dead grass in his mouth and spitting a mouthful.
"The Japanese seem to have added troops to the west gate of Teng County. I have seen at least a thousand people, as well as artillery and tanks of pack horses." The platoon leader who returned from the reconnaissance reported.
"Growing troops in the West Gate, do you think the little gull knows that the defenders will break through the West Gate tonight?" Yang Rui asked in surprise.
"It shouldn't be that Ximen has the least Japanese army. It is the direction that is easiest to break through, but with such obvious arrangements, the Japanese would not know that breaking through from Ximen should be the most dangerous, and we have no intention of picking up the defenders from Ximen to break through!"
"Where will the breakout?"
"The east is first, the north is second."
"Why should I choose the east side?" someone asked.
"If the defenders want to evacuate in Weishan Lake, then it is most suitable to choose Ximen naturally, because Ximen is closest to Weishan Lake, but we cannot move closer to Weishan Lake, and can only detour eastward and drill in the forest. In this way, the Japanese mechanized corps cannot pursue it, and they all walk on the soles of their feet. We Chinese are not afraid of Japanese devils, and we will also attack Japanese devils by surprise after breaking through the East Gate. If we cooperate inside and outside, we have a relatively high hope of success." Guo Xing explained.
"Staff General Guo is right. The direction we chose to connect the Teng County defenders to break through is the East Gate!"
"But we are still outside the West Gate?"
"Don't worry, we can go around at night?" Fang Xiaoyang smiled. This kind of roundabout interlude was simply a piece of cake for elites like the Honorary Division's Special Forces Group.
Moreover, the Japanese army has not completely controlled the vast villages outside Teng County, so it is not difficult to find a safe road. Of course, it is not easy for ordinary people.
"The Japanese increased their troops to the West Gate, but did not launch an attack on the West Gate. Instead, they dug trenches on the high ground on both sides of the road in the Dayan Village area in front of us and built fortifications." The platoon leader said again.
"Can you finish your words in one breath?"
"It seems that the Japanese judges that the defenders are going to break through the Ximen and want to ambush them." Guo Xing said.
"Can the news of the defenders breaking through the siege leaked?"
"It shouldn't be possible. You're all fighting to this point. Do you think the Japanese army is a fool. If the defenders don't break through tonight, there will be no chance." Liang Dong said.
Chapter completed!
