Chapter 370: Desperate Sichuan Army (Chapter 2 is here today)
Tengxian 122nd Division Headquarters, War Room.
The 122nd Division and its directly affiliated troops have also moved into Teng County from the Xiguan Electric Light Factory.
Those attending the combat meeting included Commander Chen, commander of the 127th Division, Acting Commander of the 124th Division, Commander Shui, Commander Wang of the 364th Brigade, Chief of Staff Zhao of the 122nd Division, Chief of Staff of the 124th Division, City Defense Commander Zhang Xuanwu, and Commander Wang of the 122nd Division.
The conference room was relatively quiet for a while, and the senior leaders of the Sichuan Army in these meetings all had extremely solemn expressions.
As for outside the conference room and outside Tengxian City, the Japanese cannon fire continued, becoming more and more fierce.
"What is the current casualty situation and city defense situation?"
"Zhang Xuanwu!"
After a long time, Commander Wang of the 122nd Division took the lead, turned to stare at the city defense commander Zhang Xuanwu, and asked straight to the point.
"The 122nd Division and the brothers of the 41st Army present here have suffered more than half of the casualties, especially our 122nd Division, which has suffered more than half of the casualties. Whether they are from the periphery or the troops of the 122th Division who were dispatched from the periphery into the city to urgently consolidate the city's defenses, all
There have been heavy casualties, and I'm afraid we won't be able to defend this place for much longer. Even if all the soldiers in our army are fighting one after another, fighting the Japanese with no fear of death, we may even fall tomorrow!"
"Since our 122nd Division fought so far, there are only 12 infantry companies, one guard company, one mortar company, and one machine gun team left in the city!"
"No matter whether we continue to defend the isolated city or take the initiative to fight outside the city, we will not be able to fight against the increasing army of Japanese soldiers. Moreover, these Japanese soldiers not only have heavy artillery units and tanks and chariot units, but the most unbearable and resentful thing is that
Their aviation force is still carrying out bombings!"
"Every time a Japanese aircraft group bombs, we will lose a lot of officers and soldiers!"
"So if we really want to hold on to Teng County, we may need our Commander Sun Zhen or the Chairman to dispatch a large number of reinforcements, weapons, equipment, and ammunition to support us!"
"Otherwise we would have been short of ammunition and soldiers until now!"
"The Maxin heavy machine gun group and mortar group given to us by Liu Feiyang have been used up a lot. Many heavy machine guns and mortars have been destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire, including those of the Japanese aviation force.
Destroyed by bombing!"
"The remaining Maxin machine guns and mortars also have very little ammunition left and cannot withstand the Japanese for long!"
"And according to our latest intelligence at night, the 10th Division of the old devil Rensuke Isotani has combined the strength of a brigade of the 106th Division to attack us. The strength has exceeded 3
More than ten thousand, not counting the nearly 20,000 Japanese troops of the Segu detachment!"
"Moreover, the Japanese army now uses more than 50 tanks and chariots, and no less than 70 artillery pieces, excluding heavy artillery units. In addition, the number of Japanese aircraft has also increased from the original dozens of bombing sorties.
, turned into a group of hundreds of Japanese planes now attacking together!"
"So our overall situation is precarious!"
City defense commander Zhang Xuanwu, who was named by Commander Wang of the 122nd Division to report the fighting situation, also felt extremely heavy and reported truthfully.
"this......"
After hearing this, Commander Wang of the 122nd Division and the senior officers of the Sichuan Army present all changed their expressions in an instant, and their hearts became even heavier.
"What did Commander Sun Zhen say? I saw you called him just now!"
After seeing that everyone was silent with heavy hearts, the city defense commander Zhang Xuanwu couldn't help but ask again.
"What else can he say? Without troops, he dispatched the 41st Army outside the city to defend the city, and he also sent most of his guard troops over! As for weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies, don't think about it
Now the Japanese army has cut off our transportation routes!"
"So you still have to rely on yourself, because all the brothers from the 41st Army are in the city, and now, their generals are also in this conference room. You can ask them about their situation!"
Hearing this, Commander Wang of the 122nd Division smiled helplessly, shook his head, and said disheartenedly.
"Yeah! I saw it!"
"Then should we continue to ask for help from Liu Feiyang's command?"
"This is our only chance to hold on to Teng County!"
But just when Commander Wang felt there was no hope, the city defense commander Zhang Xuanwu suddenly remembered Liu Feiyang's command, so his eyes lit up and he hurriedly suggested.
"The problem is that Taierzhuang is quite far away from Teng County! I'm afraid we've already lost it when they arrive!"
But Commander Wang of the 122nd Division quickly poured cold water on the situation.
"Ah! This... I actually forgot the distance between the two places. If I had known, I would have asked him for help in advance!"
"I have been focusing on resisting the constant harassment and attacks of these Japanese troops recently, otherwise I would definitely not have made such an outrageous mistake!"
Upon hearing this, the city defense commander Zhang Xuanwu was immediately angry that his memory was not good! He actually forgot the distance between the two places.
So it's too late to ask for help now.
Because in this era, there are no later generations of aircraft that are fast enough to support combat operations in a short time.
Especially weapons and equipment and transportation are relatively backward. Most of them either rely on trains, cars, horses, or even on foot like the Sichuan Army.
So when the city defense commander Zhang Xuanwu felt that his last hope was gone, he fell into hopeless despair like everyone else.
In my heart, I could only decide to fight to the end.
...
...
At this time, the troops led by Liu Feiyang also landed safely in the mountains and forests near Tencent through the aircraft landing location provided by the system.
So soon, batches of troops fully armed to the teeth, along with the eight T34-85 main battle tanks, came out from the ME 323 "Giant" heavy transport aircraft group.
Of course, there are also German sidecar motorcycle units, which are also being transported out one after another.
"Quick! Immediately join our troops staying near Tencent!"
"Because they are short of ammunition, they are now avoiding the pursuit of the Japanese troops!"
"Everyone, move quickly and support them as soon as possible!"
When Liu Feiyang was the first to launch the ME 323 "Giant" heavy transport aircraft, he also quickly commanded his troops to conduct a rapid march.
Following the issuance of his order, Liu Feiyang's troops, who had just arrived in the area near Teng County, also acted quickly.
Especially when they heard the rumbling sound of cannons and huge explosions from Teng County, their actions sped up even more.
They were afraid that if they were late for rescue, Li Jintao and Zhang Jintao's troops would be completely wiped out.
When the last German sidecar motorcycle and the last officer and soldier left the ME 323 "Giant" heavy transport aircraft, Liu Feiyang immediately took his guard with him and got on a Warrior 2 generation off-road military vehicle.
, and then set off with the large army to support Li Jingang and the others in the battle in Teng County.
