Chapter 497 The Crash Begins

The headquarters of the Sixth Division is located in a place called Jingqiao Town, which is located between Liantai County and Pingan County. It is the hub of the connection between the two places, and its geographical location is extremely important.

At this time, the head of the Sixth Division, Kanda Shochu, was anxiously pacing back and forth. As a Type-A division, the Sixth Division's strength is undoubtedly very strong. The strength of 5000 is already equivalent to that of a Type-A division in the national army. The strength of the army.

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, a standing division of the Japanese army, with the cooperation of the air force, could often beat a dozen or even dozens of divisions of the national army.

Even if it is a regiment, it can chase one or two divisions of the national army to fight, and even dare to directly attack the defense area of ​​a national army. This also created the arrogance and arrogance of the Japanese army in the early days.

But ever since the Liantai militia led by Gao Hongming was born, this law has been broken.

The Liantai militia, a place full of local flavor, repeatedly pressed the invincible Japanese divisions on the ground and rubbed them hard, from the initial 41st division, the 31th division, to the 37st division, The [-]th Division and now the Sixth Division and the [-]th Division.

It can be said that in just over two years, no matter whether it was a type A division, a type of division or even a flight division, they were all slumped in Gao Hongming's hands one after another. Native ships.

"Is it the Sixth Division's turn this time?"

Kanda Zhengzhong looked at the sky with a look of sadness on his face.

Just now, Major General Tokutaro Tokutaro, head of the No.11 Brigade, reported that the [-]th Regiment, which was attacking the new [-]st Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, was suddenly bombed by planes from the Rentai militia on a large scale, and the [-]th Regiment suffered heavy losses.

For this reason, Tokutaro Shii even sent the 47th Wing to support, but the Hekuai 47th Wing also sent a report that they were also bombed by the Chinese Air Force, and the other party even dispatched dozens of heavy bombers to bombard them in turn. Up to half an hour.

The Japanese army, which had lost its air supremacy, had nothing to do about it and could only be passively bombed. In this case, the No.11 Brigade would have difficulty even defending, let alone launching an attack.

Facing the telegram requesting tactical guidance from Tokutaro Shii, Kanda Shochu actually felt a sense of panic that he didn't know what to do.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the [-]th Brigade is waiting for your recovery." Chief of Staff Shimoichi Huo Dazuo walked to him and said softly.

"Order Ushijima Man, send no less than one regiment of troops to detour from the left to attack the flank of the new brigade, so as to divide the troops during the period, and wait for the opportunity to tear apart the defense line of the new brigade." Kanda Masakae said very slowly, almost Every word.

"Hi!"

"Send a report to Commander Gangcun again. The ferocity of the Chinese bombers has exceeded previous expectations. If the empire has no air power, the Sixth Division may not be able to break through the Chinese defense line even if it is the last person in this battle. I hope Your Excellency the Commander will dispatch aircraft reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Shimono Yihuo was shocked when he heard that, once such a telegram was sent out, it would probably become a lifetime of shame for Kanda Masakae, which would never be washed away.

"Just post it as I said, and don't change a single word." Kanda Masakae turned his head and looked directly at Shimono Kazuo, with unconcealable anger and sadness in his eyes.

New Brigade Headquarters
Brigadier Wang Dapao was sitting on the shell box and listening to the report of the chief of staff.

"The New Fourth Regiment and the New Fifth Regiment have already broken through the defense line formed by the Japanese Army's Thirteenth Regiment and the 47th Regiment. At present, these two regiments are retreating steadily. Head Qian and Head Sun ask for instructions on whether to continue the pursuit."

"The 769 regiment responsible for covering the right wing reported that they were attacked by at least one regiment of the Japanese army. The specific number of the opponent is not yet known. Commander Bai requested artillery support."

"Support ass!" Wang Dapao said angrily, "Tell him that the artillery battalion is empty now, and there will be no support within half an hour. It depends on the situation after half an hour."

"Brigade Commander, should we report the situation to the Joint Command, maybe we can get some air support, after all, what we are facing now is a division of the Japanese Army." The chief of staff persuaded in a low voice.

"That's what I said, but I don't have the face to ask the United States for support. Isn't what happened in the morning not embarrassing enough?" Brigadier Wang smiled wryly.

The chief of staff stopped talking. Although they crossed the liaison team to contact the air force this morning, although they were finally stopped by the liaison officers who rushed over, and no casualties were caused, the embarrassment this time was thrown to the joint command.

For this matter, Chief of Staff Ni of the 129th Division even called and scolded him, and threatened that if the battle was not fought well, the old and new scores would be settled together after the war.

Although he was severely scolded, Brigadier Wang knew that the headquarters had saved him face, otherwise it would not have been Chief of Staff Ni, but Commander Liu or Political Commissar Ping who had called.

He took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep puff, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Tell Bai Sixi that now is the critical moment for the new fifth regiment and the new fourth regiment. If the 769th regiment loses its chain, don't blame me for not giving it to you." Wu Da lost face!"

On this day, the coalition forces formed by the Youliantai Militia and the 129th Division and the Japanese 47th, 108th and [-]th Divisions fought tens of kilometers from east to west in Liantai County.

The roar of the aircraft's roaring cannons and countless bullets piercing the air roared in the air. Soldiers fell every moment, but immediately more soldiers stepped over the dead soldiers' bodies and continued to move forward.

This battle with more than 10 people can be said to be the biggest battle since the Japanese army raided in 1942. He not only touched the hearts of the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but also Neji Gangmura flew from Beiping to Taiyuan to command .

It can be said that for this battle, both sides have already revealed all their chips, and now it is up to who can lose it first.

Just when the deputy commander-in-chief was hesitating whether to call Gao Hongming to continue Zeng Bing, the 47th Division on the left wing was the first to fail.

As a second-class division, the 47th Division is much worse than the Sixth Division in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness, which is why Gao Hongming and Master Liu chose it as a breakthrough.

In order to defeat the 47th Division, the Joint Command not only mobilized all five regiments of the 386th Brigade to suppress it, but Gao Hongming even suppressed all the armored troops.
After struggling for a day, the 47th Division finally collapsed.

先是91联队和105联队被以两个装甲营为先锋的部队击溃，当最后连131联队也被连台飞行总队派出的近百架由B-25轰炸机、斯图卡俯冲轰炸机和P47战机组成的机群炸垮后，整个47师团再也无法组织起有效的反击。
