Chapter 51: Persevere for the last five minutes

Chapter 51 Stick to the last five minutes

On March 31, the war in Taierzhuang was fierce. Huang Qiaosong's division began to counterattack against the enemy north of Taierzhuang, conquering Shaozhuang, and Mengzhuang one after another, and destroyed two Japanese tanks. Chen Jinzhao's 30th Division advanced towards Nanluo and Sanlizhuang, cut off the Japanese army's retreat, and gave a heavy blow to the Japanese army attacking Taierzhuang. The Japanese army attempted to cross the canal near Dunzhuang Gate, and surrounded Taierzhuang from the west, and was repelled by Huang Qiaosong's division. On the night of the 30th, the vanguard of Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army occupied Linzhuang north of Taierzhuang, and then attacked the Japanese army's back. The Japanese army was attacked from both sides and turned its forces to Guan army. Fighting fiercely for a day and night. On the afternoon of the 31st, Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army occupied Lanchengdian, Xiaoji and other strongholds, firmly defended Zhanshan and Tianzhu Mountain, and the main force approached Nanluo, Beiluo, and the two brigades of the 10th Division outside Taierzhuang were all surrounded.

On April 1, the commander of the 10th Division, Risuke Isotani, saw that the retreat was broken, and concentrated 3,000 mechanized troops to attack the Lanling area in order to break through the outside line. Tang Enbo's army had all reached the periphery of Taierzhuang, so he commanded the 52nd Army of the 20th Army and the 85th Army launched a fierce attack on the enemy. The Japanese army occupied seven or eight villages and relied on the village wall to resist. The attack of the Chinese team was blocked. When Tang Enbo heard this, he thought for a while and ordered the village occupied by the Japanese army to block the entrance of the village with machine guns. The army's tanks covered the infantry and poured gasoline out of the village along the wind direction, then ignited the gasoline and set fire to the village. (At that time, the people of the villages in this area fled) Tang Enbo called it the method of "blocking caves and destroying rats."

The 20th legion blocked the Japanese army with only a small amount of troops. The army tanks covered the infantry and set fire. The lit gasoline quickly burned into the village along the wind direction, igniting what could be burned in the village. The fire became stronger and stronger. The Japanese army in the village had to escape from the fortifications and organize people to put out the fire. However, the village was surrounded by fire, and the smoke was rolling, which made the Japanese army cough constantly. The fire was too big and could not be extinguished at all. The Japanese army took the risk to rush out, but the intersection of the village was out of the village.

All were fire, and the road was burning with its feet. Even if a few brave soldiers rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, they soon discovered that outside the sea of ​​fire at the entrance of the village were heavy machine guns of the Chinese people, blockade lines woven by light machine guns, and tanks patrolling the village entrance. The machine gunners on the tank stared at the road at the entrance of the village. As long as there were fish that had escaped the net, the machine gunners would open fire without hesitation until the Japanese army that ran out either fought back or turned into corpses.

For a time, the Japanese troops in Liuzhuang, Mazhuang, Shilinyuan and other villages occupied by the Japanese army were either burned into coke or fired into sieve by machine guns. The Japanese troops in the village were completely killed. After all, they were elite Central Army soldiers with good equipment and different tactics. Although this kind of fighting style is cruel, they have the least casualties.

Just as Sun Lianzhong and Tang Enbo were about to launch an offensive to encircle and annihilate the 10th Division of Isogaya Ryosuke, the Sakamoto Shun Brigade (Miura Toshizuo failed in the Linyi battle, so this time the Japanese general changed) entered Lanling Town from Aiqu and hit the 20th Corps from the east. Guan Lin's army blocked the Japanese army with one of them in Zuozigou, and the main force attacked the back of the Sakamoto Shun Brigade from Zuozigou. Sakamoto Shun was eager to clear the Sakamoto's Sakamoto's brigade of Isogaya, leaving a brigade of nearly a thousand people to block the attack of the ** team near Hongshan Town, and the main force advanced towards Taierzhuang's right wing.

Li Zongren received the battle report, and a bold plan was formed in his mind. Why not put Sakamoto Shun in, relying on Taierzhuang with the 31st Division and the 36th Brigade, mobilized the 15th Division of the 2nd Army, the 22nd Army, the 20th Army, and the 55th Army (Northeast Army) of the 3rd Army to encircle and annihilate 34,000 people of the 15th Division of the Isotani Ryosuke and Sakamoto Shun Brigade. Bai Chongxi supported Li Zongren's plan. The 10th Division of the Japanese army was divided into two places and fought fiercely for several days, and it became a situation of exhaustion of the veterans of the division. Shun Sakamoto was a new arrival and was unstable. If the Chinese team concentrated their troops, boldly divided the encirclement, and interspersed the Japanese army, even if they could not completely annihilate the Japanese surrounded, they could at least severely damage or even annihilate most of the Japanese army. Li Zongren ordered the 20th Corps to let Sakamoto Shun Brigade enter the encirclement and then encircle the Japanese army.

After Tang Enbo deliberately put it in, the Sakamoto Shun brigade successfully entered the Taierzhuang line. But soon, Major General Tsang discovered that Taierzhuang was almost in ruins. Although the Japanese army captured three-quarters of the positions, the Chinese people still insisted on the remaining one-quarter of the positions. The Seya Brigade, which was mainly attacking Taierzhuang, was exhausted and suffered heavy casualties. The Sewu Brigade was blocked by the Chinese army in the area east of Taierzhuang. The small Taierzhuang was surrounded by the Japanese army, and the attacking Japanese army was surrounded by the Chinese team with Taierzhuang as the core. The inner and outer three layers were intertwined, and the enemy and our positions were intertwined. Both sides dared not use heavy artillery. The positions were too close, so the artillery fire was easily injured by accident. Of course, the Chinese team did not have heavy artillery available.

On Taierzhuang, more than 800 people from Huang Qiaosong's 27th Division climbed the village wall from the northeast corner outside the village to attack the Japanese army. The Japanese east gate defenders were panicked and were killed. The Chinese team again occupied the northeast corner of Taierzhuang, the east gate and several watchtowers next to it. At this time, the Japanese attacking troops were at the end of their strength and were no longer able to launch a large-scale attack.

Sakamoto joined the battle and gave a shot of the troubled Segya Brigade. Sakamoto took over the attack power and organized troops to start a large-scale attack. The fierce battle in Taierzhuang began to unfold from house to street. The 36th Brigade relied on the overhang corridor, and the scattered trenches fought on their own. One house and one street had to be fought over again. After several days of bloody battles, Yue Hanping found some street fighting experience, trying to keep the troops in the garrison pit, in the solid castle, and only a small amount of troops were left on the outside positions. Once the Japanese army had more troops, the soldiers who were left behind could not resist, they used the tactic of death toll and fired the grenade.

By the night of April 2, there were only 400 remaining soldiers of the 31st Division, and the 36th Brigade had a regiment of the troops, and there were 980 left. It was considered good. It would be great that there would be nearly a thousand people left for 6 days of bloody battles. At this time, Li Zongren called himself. On the phone, Li Zongren held his position and did not give up giving a high evaluation. Chi Fengcheng City and Yue Hanping fought for 11 days and Yue Hanping fought for 6 days. You resisted the most brutal attack of the Japanese army and had to hold on for the last five minutes. Tomorrow is the day for the general attack of the Chinese team. Tonight, you would better have a counterattack in the village to weaken the Japanese army's aggression.

Chi Fengcheng did not expect that Li Zongren personally called to encourage them, and even more unexpectedly, in order to fight this, Taierzhuang would need to mobilize troops to fight back against the Japanese army. However, Chi Fengcheng did not consider it for a long time. As soon as he and Yue Hanping had a firm look in contact, he immediately replied to Li Zongren, asking Chief Li to rest assured that tonight, on the night of April 2, the defenders in Taierzhuang would launch a counterattack.

After a brief discussion between Chi Fengcheng and Yue Hanping, Yue Hanping said, "Teacher Chi, your troops are fighting too hard, and there are huge casualties. Let's leave some seeds for the Northwest Army. It's my troops to fight against the counterattack." Chi Fengcheng smiled bitterly: "Brother, thank you! It's hard for you to think about your brother. It doesn't matter whether the war is to this extent. It doesn't matter whether my troops are left or not." Yue Hanping insisted and refused. In the end, the two compromised each other. The two departments jointly organized a 300-person commando, each with 150 people.

After the commando team was selected, Chi Fengcheng and Yue Hanping mobilized the troops together to mobilize and talk. At this time, several soldiers came over with a large basket full of white silver dollars. Chi Fengcheng took a handful of oceans and stuffed them into the hands of a soldier, "Brothers, take it, each person has a hundred dollars of oceans, I will send the rest to you home." Several staff officers were busy sending oceans to these suicide squads, and a soldier walked out of the queue, "Sir, brothers were selected to be in the commando team, and they didn't plan to come back alive. It would be useless to ask these oceans for this." After saying that, "Hua Hua Hua" the ocean that had just been sent to him was thrown to the ground by him.

Chi Fengcheng was stunned, and the soldier continued, "Sir, we have no other request. We just ask the superiors to remember our names and tell our families that we are not cowards, we died in the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war. Tell our relatives that we are the suicide squad members of Taierzhuang!" Chi Fengcheng heard the "wag" sound again. The brothers of the suicide squad threw the ocean to the ground. The soldiers said one after another: "Dear brothers, brothers, we are gone! Every year from now on, please give us incense sticks!"

The commandos suddenly launched a counterattack on the Japanese position while the night was dark. They fought for themselves and fought bravely. The team members held big swords in their hands and slashed the Japanese army when they saw the Japanese army. The injured brothers rushed into the Japanese group without hesitation and pulled the grenades until they turned into a bloody rain... After more than ten days of bloody battle, the Japanese army was exhausted, and unexpectedly, the Chinese team, which was about to be shot out of Taierzhuang, had the strength to counterattack. The commandos rushed for a while, and wherever they went, the Japanese army retreated one after another, and incredibly recovered three-quarters of the Taierzhuang position occupied by the Japanese army.

The 31st Division and the 36th Brigade took the opportunity to fight back with all the fierce battles all night, and the Japanese army was forced to retreat to the gate of the north gate. Facing Chaoyang, Chifeng City, Yue Hanping sighed. The darkness had passed and dawn was right in front of him. The sun was coming! Are you still afraid of dark clouds? The doomsday of the Japanese has arrived!!!
