Chapter 745 Bloody Battle at Taierzhuang

Chapter 745 Bloody Battle at Taierzhuang ([-])
"Hoo--" The sound of the grenade piercing the air reached Anxi Vulture's ears, and he took a step back instinctively. There was a loud "boom", and the firepower point on the left, which was only more than 20 meters away from him, was hit by a grenade. The three devils were lifted up by the air waves, danced and howled, and fell from the ruins.

Anxi Jiu looked at his right side again, where the commanding heights originally formed naturally by the broken city wall bricks also disappeared.It was also a grenade, and with an explosion, three imperial soldiers were killed together with their machine guns.He gasped in disbelief, and his belief in victory disappeared immediately.If the previous artillery raids proved that the Chinese artillery is very professional, these two shellings told him that there are also mortar masters in the Chinese front-line troops.

Cai Hongguang lived up to his name as a "big gun". After becoming famous in the first battle in the raid, he played again now, using only three cannons to kill the two suppressive firepower points set up by the Anxi Brigade on the commanding heights of the ruins.The enemy's machine gun was dumb, and Xing Shisi was overjoyed. He waved his gun and shouted wildly: "Brothers, go up, go up! Drive the little devil out!"

"Kill!" The soldiers bravely moved forward, and the three people in the front pulled the trigger at the same time, and the three Weiqing-style assault rifles fired at the same time, and a large number of devils on the opposite side fell down immediately.

Zuo Anan listened carefully, and then gave Cai Hongguang a thumbs up: "Excellent, really only fired three shots!"

Before Cai Hongguang fired the cannon, he said wildly: "I only want three cannons, do you believe it or not?"

The three cannons hit two firepower points, and they can only rely on the approximate data provided by the observers on the roof. Even if Zuo Pingan sincerely hopes so, he feels that Cai Dapao is suspected of bragging.Who knew he actually did it.Cai Hongguang grinned and stretched out his hand: "Sir, then reward me with a cigarette!"

"Okay, I'll give you half of the package."

Zuo Anan generously took out the bag of "Great Wall" from his jacket pocket and threw it to him.

Anxi Jiu was furious. He waved his command knife and yelled: "Charge, charge." Suddenly, he heard a series of violent explosions coming from the battlefield on the right, and he couldn't help being surprised. "Ba Ge, the Chinese launched a counterattack?" He turned his head and looked over cursingly, and then fell into a state of dementia, dumbfounded.

A puff of yellow smoke rose into the air and drifted with the wind, causing the nearby Japanese soldiers to flee.He found that the smoke was drifting towards the Asai Brigade behind him, and immediately realized what had happened. "Retreat, retreat!" He suddenly hissed and screamed, then took the lead and turned and ran.

The captain’s abnormal performance alarmed the devils around, and most of the devils quickly turned around and ran away. Some devils saw the yellow smoke and immediately shouted in panic: "Gas bombs, that's gas bombs! The Chinese used gas bombs!" It's gone!" The "gas bomb" was like a mad dog that suddenly appeared, and the little devil ran away when he heard the sound, and the attack sequence of Anxi Brigade was in chaos.

The sudden inexplicable retreat of the Japanese army made Xing Shishi feel baffled, but this was an opportunity to annihilate the devils, and he would not give up anyway. Before he had time to think about it, he shouted: "Catch up, kill! Kill!" With the brothers fighting bravely, the Japanese army was driven out of the ruins in less than 5 minutes.

Zuo Pingan walked out of the alley, and he was very surprised to see the Japanese army retreating in a panic: "What happened?"

No one could answer him. The soldiers all thought that they had beaten the little devils away, and they all ran fast with high spirits, fearing that they would not have a chance to shoot and knock down the devils one by one.

The devils outside the west gate retreated like a tide, Cui Zhiguo was puzzled to see it, he scratched his forehead vigorously, puzzled.He called Xiao Cui, the correspondent, and pointed to the tower ahead: "Go up and call Zuo Xiao down, and see what happened."

Zuo Xiao was helped down from the city wall by Xiao Cui, his eyes were swollen from crying.Xiao Cui was also very sad when he saw the tragic scenes on the Japanese mortar positions and those fearless soldiers who fell to the ground.Leaning close to Cui Zhiguo's ear, he said softly, "Tuan, it should be the little devil's gas bomb that was detonated by Platoon Leader Guo and the others. Now the devils outside the west gate are evacuating at full speed."

Cui Zhiguo was taken aback, and then instinctively touched the gas mask on his back.He remembered something and asked, "Isn't the little devil also equipped with a gas mask?"

"I don't know why, group seat, should you report the situation to the teacher seat?"

The little devil is equipped with a gas mask and needs to evacuate from the battlefield?This made Cui Zhiguo realize that this matter was unusual, and he couldn't help becoming worried.He even worried that the reason why the Japanese army retreated was to keep a distance to facilitate the use of gas bombs to avoid accidental injury.It is not a secret that the Japanese army used prohibited weapons such as gas bombs. Therefore, at the request of Li Zongren in the fifth theater, all participating troops were equipped with gas masks, some of which were brought by Guo Da and the others from Guangzhou.The situation in Taierzhuang is very special - Taierzhuang is too small, and Cui Zhiguo can't imagine that once the Japanese army uses poison gas bombs on a large scale, then the national army will have no way to reach Taierzhuang in this battle.If the Japanese army really wanted to use poison gas bombs, there would be no point in sticking here except to die. He thought about it seriously and decided to ask Guo Da for advice.

He asked Xiao Cui to convey it immediately: everyone checked the gas masks and prepared to wear them, then he found Li Yi, the deputy head of the regiment, and asked him to command the troops on his behalf, while he hurriedly ran to Guo Da temporary command post.

The Xueyi Division and the Mountain Division went to Xuzhou, nominally under the command of Zhang Zizhong, and the two divisions were not subordinate to each other. In fact, Guo Da enjoyed the actual command.That is to say, when encountering major decisions, Huang Haifu and his generals of the mountain division will listen to his dispatch.Power and responsibility are equal. Because of this, in addition to paying close attention to Ximen's battle, he also pays attention to the situation of other troops.

After the surprise battle, Guo Muyi took the tank troops across the river and retreated immediately, considering that the Japanese air force would soon come to the battlefield.But even so, they were overtaken by Japanese planes and were tailed and bombed.Fortunately, the Jiguang tank has heavy armor and cannot be destroyed by non-heavy bombs, and the load capacity of the Japanese aircraft is limited. One bomber can carry two heavy bombs. The scale of this dispatch is limited, so the tank troops have experienced After half an hour of tail-chasing bombing by Devil fighter planes, in the end only three were lost and one was damaged, which hardly affected the combat effectiveness.The safe departure of the tank troops from the battlefield once made Guo Da feel at ease, but what he is most worried about now is the safety of the Overlord Brigade——

After the Bawang Brigade and the 27th Division stayed east of the Canal under Li Zongren's order, it meant that they would return to the battlefield at any time, and even play the role of Guo Muyi's department to attack the Japanese army again.It is conceivable that once the 51st Army crosses Weishan Lake and the Grand Canal appears behind the Jigu Division, the Jigu Division is in danger of being cut off from the rear, and the cabinet brigade will definitely come to Taierzhuang to support it.Then, in order to ensure that the 51st Army has sufficient deterrence against the Isoya Division, Li Zongren must let the Bawang Brigade and the 27th Division take the responsibility of containing the Japanese army.However, the Cabinet Brigade has more than 27 troops, and the Isoya Division has more than [-] troops. In addition to the remaining troops of the Seya Detachment and Iteng Division, Guo Da is very worried that the Overlord Brigade will be in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army instead— ——"Commander Li is too anxious. Our forces are still at a disadvantage. He wants to fully control the initiative on the battlefield. How is this possible? Once the Bawang Brigade and the [-]th Division have an accident on the east side of the canal, there will be no troops in the southeast of Taierzhuang to stop it They went south along the canal, and if the Japanese troops from Bengbu come over again, the situation in Xuzhou will most likely become unmanageable." He was lying on the battle zone map with Xu Dalin and analyzing the situation, when Cui Zhiguo hurried in.He yelled as soon as he entered the door: "Master, Chief of Staff, something is wrong, there is an emergency at Ximen!"

Guo and Xu raised their heads from the map and looked at him in surprise.Xu Dalin asked, "Zhiguo, what happened?"

Cui Zhiguo's face turned pale because of worry, and he said eagerly, "Isotani Rensuke is going to use gas bombs!"

"What?" Guo and Xu were shocked.Xu Dalin frowned deeply, and asked, "Are you sure about this?"

Cui Zhiguo sighed and smiled bitterly, and then told the story of the commando detonating the gas bomb unintentionally.

Guo Da patted his forehead and sighed for luck, and said: "Zhiguo is a lucky general. Fortunately, the northwest wind is now, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. It seems that Rensuke Isotani wanted to use the poison gas bomb a long time ago, but because of the wrong wind direction, he was delayed. He didn’t dare to attack, and then Guo Zhengde accidentally blew it up—this is no small matter. Old Xu, it seems that we have to readjust the defense of the west gate.” He asked Cui Zhiguo: “Have all the Japanese troops outside the west gate retreated? ?”

Cui Zhiguo nodded and said, "I think the devils at the Northwest Gate will definitely be evacuated later. The poisonous gas seems to be mustard gas, and the gas mask doesn't work at all."

Xu Dalin: "Hurry up and report this situation to the theater headquarters. In addition, immediately report this situation to General Li Pinxian. Their gas masks are worse than ours, and they need to strengthen their defenses in this regard. If it is not possible, we may have to I voluntarily gave up the Taierzhuang defense line."

Guo Da thought of something else and said: "If Ji Gu Rensuke really uses gas bombs wantonly, even if he has only one cannon left, it will be a great threat to the artillerymen in Hexi. You must contact Li Jian quickly and let them They shifted positions immediately."

Xu Dalin stood up: "I'll let the communication company generate electricity."

Cui Zhiguo asked: "Master, should we also withdraw our people to the back appropriately?"

"Wait a minute, abandoning the line of defense and retreating without authorization, this is going to a court-martial."

"But--"

"Zhiguo, you go back first, I will come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."

"All right!"

Li Zongren received the urgent telegram sent by Guo Da, and he and Bai Chongxi read and watched again and again, shaking the original plan.Gas bombs are terrible, especially mustard gas.This kind of poisonous gas that can penetrate into the human body through the skin makes the gas mask a decoration, and once Guo Da's words become a prophecy, the fifth war zone's current military advantage on the Taierzhuang battlefield will disappear.

"Where is Yu Xuezhong?" Li Zongren lay down on the map again and asked Bai Chongxi.

"His previous telegram said that we must be able to pass through Weishan Lake before dark today."

Zhang Zizhong gestured between Nigou and Teng County, and said, "Don't let them go to Nigou and Nanbeiluo, how about going to Teng County instead?"

Bai Chongxi pondered for a while, then asked: "You want to copy Jigu's old den?"

"I have an idea. Is it possible that the batch of gas bombs that Guo Da and the others destroyed were all that Isoya Rensuke carried with the army? If that is the case, within three to five days, the Isoya Division will never even try to capture Taierzhuang. If Isoya Liansuke still has a lot of supplies, so if we send the 51st Army there, it will be useless. Tengxian County is the station of the Isogu Division, and its supplies must be stored there. Take Tengxian County first. The harm of gas bombs can be minimized. After Tengxian County is taken down by us, even if Taierzhuang is taken by the Japanese army, they will not dare to attack Xuzhou immediately because they are worried that their rear will be copied. This will help us make new adjustments .”

Bai Chongxi shook his head and said firmly: "Delin, I disagree with your plan - it's too risky to do so. Taierzhuang cannot be lost. If Taierzhuang is lost, the Japanese army will fall, what will happen to Xuzhou? What if Isoya Rensuke There are enough gas bombs in hand, what should we do if he uses the gas bombs on the Xuzhou battlefield? Yu Xuezhong must fight Nigou and Nanbeiluo. Only in this way can the pressure on the frontal battlefield of Taierzhuang be relieved. Our top priority, no matter what The method is to destroy the gas bombs of the Isoya Division. As long as Yu Xuezhong threatens the left wing and rear of the Isoya Division, Isoya Rensuke will definitely lead the army to counterattack. In this way, Bawang Brigade and 27 The division has a chance. Let Liu Shurong and Huang Qiaosong find an opportunity to organize elite forces to enter the hinterland of the Jigu Division and destroy its gas bombs. This is the safest way at present. The Cabinet Brigade has already arrived in Pi County. If the Japanese army’s ultimate goal is In the case of Xuzhou, Guiti Shengyu will definitely lead his army to find an opportunity to cross the river from the south of Taierzhuang. In my opinion, it is time to show all our strength-the Japanese army attacked Xuzhou. Occupying this strategic point is one purpose, and another purpose is to capture The main force of our army should be wiped out. There are at least two advantages for us to turn over all the cards in our hands in advance. Cover the actions of Liu Shurong and Huang Qiaosong in Hedong. I have always insisted that instead of letting the Japanese army in for a decisive battle in Xuzhou, it is better to fight in Taierzhuang. Therefore, even if Isotani Rensuke uses mustard gas crazily, we can quickly send reinforcements from Hexi. In the Battle of Taierzhuang, huge casualties are definitely unavoidable, but the key is to see if we can wipe out another part of it. As long as the Bawang Brigade and the 27th Division can gain a firm foothold in Hedong, this is very possible. One morning today In this battle, the Japanese army lost at least [-] yuan. If there is another battle like this, even if Taierzhuang is lost, I think the Japanese army will not be able to look around. Then our Xuzhou strategy will be achieved—Brother Delin, what do you think?"
