The third part of the bloody war of resistance, Chapter 9, the rushing flow, Section 8, the Yellow River Roaring (2

Not many people know about the relationship between Zhuang Jihua and Gong Xiuhua in the headquarters, but people like Xu Zuyi and He Wei are clear about it. They didn't say anything. Instead, Li Zhilong talked to Zhuang Jihua specifically.

"Secretary Gong, what's wrong? If you feel uncomfortable, just take a break. It's no big deal on the front line." Zhuang Jihua advised when he saw Gong Xiuhua's face pale. His tone showed that he was very confident in the current situation.

Gong Xiuhua shook her head in difficulty, but instead advised him: "Don't always talk about me, but you should have a good rest. Since the frontline matters are no big deal, take advantage of this time to take a good rest."

Zhuang Jihua ignored it and turned around and asked Xu Zuyi: "How is the progress of Song Xilian?"

After Zhuang Jihua turned his head, He Wei suddenly realized that there seemed to be tears flashing in Gong Xiuhua's eyes, and a slight suspicion suddenly arose in his heart, knowing that something must have happened.

Sure enough, Gong Xiuhua waved his head slightly at Wu Ziniu, and the two of them left the war room one after another. A doubt arose in He Wei's heart. Gong Xiuhua said that Wu Ziniu is the person Zhuang Jihua trusted the most, and their status in the headquarters even surpassed him, the director of the staff department.

"Song Xilian's progress is too slow. Tell Song Xilian to strengthen the offensive and not worry about losses. The Japanese army in Liaocheng is the last force of the Japanese army in North China. As long as this Japanese army is eliminated, there will be no major wars in the entire North China."

He Wei didn't have time to think about it carefully, so he was attracted by Zhuang Jihua's words.

Compared with Du Yuming and Guan Linzheng, the north bank of the Yellow River is the top priority of this attack and the key to this battle.

"Boom" a tank caught fire and exploded. Two tank soldiers jumped out of the tank. One of them had a fire on their backs. After they came out, they rolled on the ground. The other pulled out a wounded companion from the tank. After the three of them came out, they supported each other and ran backwards.

""

In the observation center, Qiu Qingquan couldn't help but curse, this was the third attack. It seemed that the Japanese anti-tank firepower was well hidden and they avoided his artillery attack again.

After crossing the river, Qiu Qingquan was in trouble. First, Jiang Weiguo disobeyed the order. After occupying Pu Town, he launched an attack on Fan County without authorization and took Fan County safely. After Qiu Qingquan received the report, he was worried. Fortunately, the Japanese army abandoned Fan County. If the second prince really had any mistakes, how could he explain to Chiang Kai-shek?

Fortunately, the Japanese army did not resist. As soon as they discovered the Chinese tanks, they immediately contracted. Even Dong'a gave up. The 22nd Army, which was ready to go on the south bank of the Yellow River, was empty.

The 22nd Army successfully crossed the river and occupied Dong'a. Song Xilian's troops were divided into two groups, and the 22nd Army reached Liaocheng from the south. The First Army and the Second Army went to Yanggu to attack Liaocheng from the southwest. The 101st Army of the Forty-Nine Army acted as a reserve. In addition, Song Xilian also had the secret chess, which was the guerrilla corps led by Chen G, the New Eighth Army, and the Pang Bingxun Sun Dianying's puppet army. General Chen G led this army to take the north bank of the Chek River, take Guancheng, Linqing, and detour north of Liaocheng, forming an encirclement of Liaocheng.

What made Song Xilian more satisfied was that the Japanese army in Liaocheng did not move. On the contrary, the Japanese army of the four divisions were always close together and ready to fight. Song Xilian was also a little confused while happy. Liaocheng was flat and almost flat. The only thing he could rely on was several rivers, the Grand Canal across the north and south, and the Tuha River running through the east and west. However, this was not a big problem for squadrons with tank troops and air superiority. So he calmly and boldly commanded the troops to launch an attack on Liaocheng.

The 22nd Army led the way to Liaocheng. Sun Zhen launched a tentative attack on Liaocheng with the 379th Brigade of the 127th Division of the 45th Army as the vanguard; Liu Naizhu, the commander of the 379th Brigade, deployed the 773rd Regiment and the 774th Regiment, and he led the brigade headquarters and the 772nd Regiment to the formation.

The squadron won consecutive victories, and the 22nd Army made extraordinary achievements in the Battle of Northern Hubei. After the war, it was awarded the Flying Tiger Banner awarded by the Military Commission, and the entire army was awarded a total of 2,000 soldiers. In the early battle of Xuzhou, the 22nd Army shouldered the heavy responsibility to conquer Bengbu in one battle, cut off the ties between the Central and Japanese troops in East China, and gain the initiative for the entire battle.

At this moment, the 22nd Army was full of morale and confidence. Instead of the past, they hid from the Japanese, but instead looked for the Japanese to fight.

The 773rd Regiment and the 774th Regiment advanced side by side, and met the 71st Division of the Japanese Army outside Ji. As soon as they came into contact, the squadron launched a fierce attack. The Japanese army resisted and retreated to Yuji. The 773rd Regiment and 774th Regiment took advantage of the situation to pursue Ji and launched an attack on Ji.

This time, the Japanese army did not retreat, but resisted calmly and repelled the squadron's attacks in succession. After the entire brigade of the 379th Brigade arrived, Liu Naizhu continued to strengthen the offensive, rushed into the market town twice, and was driven out by the Japanese army twice.

The squadron's offensive was slightly frustrated, and the Japanese army immediately launched a counterattack. The 71st Division concentrated two brigades to launch a clamp-shaped offensive against the 379th Brigade from both sides. The 379th Brigade was defeated, Chen Zemin, the commander of the 773rd Regiment, Guo Hongdian, was seriously injured, and Tang Shukang, the commander of the 772nd Regiment, led his troops to fight to the death, and the entire brigade was in extreme danger. The 381st Brigade arrived, and Tao Kai, the commander of the 381st Brigade, commander of the 381st Brigade, commander of the 381st Brigade, commander of the 381st Brigade, commander of the 381st Brigade, commander of the 381st Brigade, commander of the 381st Brigade, and suppressed the Japanese attack.

Seeing that the reinforcements of the squadron had arrived, the Japanese army gradually retreated and returned to their original positions. Tao Kai did not pursue, but only replaced the 379th Brigade's position. Liu Naizhu cleaned up the entire brigade, and then found that the entire brigade had suffered nearly 40% of the losses, and three regiment commanders, one died and the other was seriously injured, and the troops almost lost their combat effectiveness.

After receiving the report, Sun Zhen was furious and immediately ordered the removal of Liu Naizhu's position as brigade commander, led by Deputy Brigade Commander Guo Hongdian, and retreated to Qiji Town for rectification. At the same time, he informed the entire army and reminded generals at all levels not to underestimate the enemy. Afterwards, Sun Zhen ordered the 45th Army to continue the attack, and he himself led the 41st Army to bypass Yuji and attack from Xuying in the southeast.

War ignited south of Liaocheng. Before the attack began, Sun Zhen received a telegram, and Song Xilian ordered him to stop the attack and wait for the mechanized First Army.

Qiu Qingquan adjusted the advance sequence of the troops in Fan County and transferred Jiang Weiguo back to serve as a defender. Starting from Fan County, Qiu Qingquan had no object to fight. The puppet army along the way took the initiative to contact the tanks when they saw the tanks, which made Ma Jintao, the commander of the vanguard regiment, feel a little depressed.

Until the canal, Qiu Qingquan's tank had no chance to fire a shot, but when he arrived at the canal, Ma Jintao found that the Japanese army on the other side was well warded, so he did not rashly force the crossing, but retreated five miles to wait for the arrival of the subsequent troops.

The troops gathered in the west bank of the canal. After Song Xilian and Qiu Qingquan simply called for advice, they ordered Chi Fengcheng to command the 40th army to carry out a forced crossing in Zhangluji.

Song Xilian was determined to show the three-dimensional attack that the squadron now has. The battle to cross the canal was three-dimensional at the beginning. In the sky, p40, p51, and b17 bombed one after another. There were always three or four Chinese aircraft monitoring the Japanese army on the ground in the sky. After the plane bombing, the heavy artillery regiment affiliated to the army began to roar again, and then the heavy artillery regiment of the military also began to speak, and the final appearance was the rocket artillery battalion allocated to him by the war zone.

When the landing ground was covered with flames and smoke, the Chinese soldiers who were preparing to cross the ferry at the ferry saw shells flying into the group of smoke, and then burst into flames, which became thicker. The Japanese army quietly saw no artillery fire at the counterattack.

Chinese soldiers have never been so refreshed or so happy. Before the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, all kinds of temporary requisitioned boats have fallen into the water. The soldiers firmly believe that there is no living creature in the land on the other side. They have just occupied that land in the past. Only a few veterans remain highly vigilant and hold the guns in their hands.

In the woods on the edge of the green tent outside Houying Town, five kilometers behind the landing ground, a group of Japanese generals were silently observing the smoke-covered place. Mo Jingsan came here to see how strong the firepower of the Chinese army is today. In the headquarters of the Beijing Expeditionary Army, they always received reports that the Chinese army is different from the past, but he did not believe it in his heart. He did not think that the Chinese army's firepower was, because from a time point of view, even if the United States began to arm the Chinese army, it would not have time to transport so many weapons.

But the scene that was present in front of him was extremely shocked. He had never had such artillery fire in the Imperial Army, and even the Soviet army with strong firepower had never had it.

Atsumi put down his telescope, stabilized his expression, and quietly looked at Kazushima Kazuki. He now understood why Okamura Yasuji attaches so much importance to this guy. So far, all the movements of the Chinese army were within his expectations, and even the place where the river crossed was accurately captured by him.

However, Ao Jingsan thought that Nakajima Kazuya had no idea that the Chinese army had such powerful firepower. He placed two strengthening squadrons at the ferry, with more than 500 people. Now it seems that it would be great if these more than 500 people could survive one-tenth of them.

Kasumi Nakajima was also extremely shocked. From 38 to now, he participated in the Second Battle of Jinpu Road, Battle of Wuhan, and Battle of Changsha, but he had never seen the Chinese army have such fierce artillery fire.

Yoshito Masai's face was pale. This section of the defense zone was his 121st Division defense zone. More than 500 people at the ferry were led by Colonel Nomad, the captain of the brigade who had made contributions to the Soviet Russian battlefield. Unfortunately, the hero of this empire was lost here like this.

"Masai Kun, let's reinforce the ferry immediately," A Mo Sesan pretended to be calm and reminded Yoshito Masai.

But Kazuya Nakajima interrupted immediately: "Commander, there is no need to reinforce the ferry. I think the Chinese army will be allowed to cross the river. They cross the river from here, just on the attack route we expected. If we change to other places, we may be more troublesome."

Yoshito Masai was a little stunned, gave up the natural danger of the canal and asked the Chinese army to come over. There was no obstacle to crossing the river. The Chinese army tanks could rush all the way to the city of Liaocheng.

But Ai Jingsan understood the purpose of Nakajima. Since Nakajima judged that the Chinese army crossed the river in this area, it must have a corresponding arrangement. Since the Chinese army has such strong firepower, it is only a matter of time to cross the canal. Instead of letting them cross the river from other places, it is better to let them cross the river in the planned place.
