Beat the devil with a system

Page 510

The little devil was routed too hastily, leaving all kinds of weapons and equipment, ammunition and supplies on the ground, as well as the corpses of his companions, all of which were too late to take away.

In this battle, the little devil's insidious and vicious tactics were exhausted. .Four or five tons of shells were consumed, and the joint operations of the two divisions still failed to win the outer positions of Taierzhuang.

The devils of the two divisions dispatched nearly 6000 troops, more than 2000 casualties, damaged more than a dozen tanks, the entire fleet was wiped out, and countless guns were destroyed and discarded.

Even though the enemy suffered such heavy casualties and battle losses, in the end, the little devil ended the battle with a disastrous defeat...

Li Hongcha took a look at the ending battlefield, and then he and Zhang Baohua walked out of the division headquarters, and the two went to the front line to inspect the casualties of the troops.

"Brother Hong, this battle is really heart-warming. It not only severely defeated the Japanese army, but also dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army!" Zhang Baohua said excitedly.

The two patrolled the frontline positions together, chatting a few words about the war situation from time to time. .Later, they went to visit the casualties together.

Without the help of Li Hong from the security team, Zhang Baohua would not have dared to think about winning the battle with the few and the strong.

In previous battles with little devils, the casualty ratio was at least 5 to 1. Even in defense battles, the casualty ratio was as high as 3 to 1.

This victory did not bring much joy to Li Hong.

Because there are three divisions of the Japanese army outside Taierzhuang, this casualty is not a threat or influence on the battle situation for the devils.

In his prediction and judgment, this battle can only be regarded as a small victory in Taierzhuang.

If the 20th Army Corps of the Central Army outside Taierzhuang can successfully encircle and annihilate them, then this will be a great victory that will be recorded in history.

……

The Japanese 5th Division and 10th Division suffered successive setbacks in the Taierzhuang area. For this reason, the Japanese North China Command repeatedly sent reprimands.

Itagaki and Isoya, two old devils, wore a pair of trousers. They worked together and unanimously pushed the reason for the failure of the battle to the 4th Division in Osaka.The 4th Division in Osaka held back, just to preserve its strength, and the Japanese commander Terauchi Shouichi knew this well.

The original Japanese command's combat plan for Taierzhuang was that the 5th and 10th Divisions would attack from the front, and the 4th Division would attack from the north of Taierzhuang to put pressure on the Chinese troops defending the city, thereby supporting the attacks of the other two divisions.

As a result, Yusaburo Matsui, the head of the 4th Division, watched the fire from the other side, and just sent a small group of troops to fire a few shots at the Chinese defenders in the northern position, and then finished the job perfunctorily after firing a few shots.

Of course, the generals of the Japanese Army Command are not idiots. The 4th Division has been fighting passively, and it is impossible to sit idly by.

If Taierzhuang is not broken, it will affect the Japanese army's strategic plan for Xuzhou.

In order to break through the city as soon as possible, Terauchi Shouichi immediately issued a death order to the 4th Division in the name of the commander. If Matsui Yusaburo dares to slack off and delay the battle, he will wait for his own execution!

Taierzhuang.Twenty kilometers outside the North City, the headquarters of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army.

At this time, a devil major was reading several telegrams from the headquarters in the headquarters.

The contents of the telegram were not military missions, but all about reprimanding division commander Matsui Yusaburo for his disadvantages in combat.

Yusaburo Matsui, a piece of hob meat, didn't take it seriously at all when he heard a bloody telegram scolding him.

Soon, Major Guizi read out the last telegram.

This telegram was sent by Toshiichi Terauchi, and Matsui Yusaburo heard the telegram strictly ordering the 4th Division to seize the northern position as soon as possible, otherwise, after the words of seppuku, Matsui Yusaburo began to panic.

This is an urgent telegram from the commander. .I'm not joking, if Matsui Yusaburo keeps fighting passively and refuses to contribute, Terauchi Shouichi will definitely chop off his dog's head.

It seems that this time the commander is really in a hurry to talk nonsense.

Immediately, Matsui Yusaburo summoned a number of devil officers and generals to discuss with each other what other ways to avoid the battle and reduce the casualties of the 4th Division.

Kojiro Nohara, chief of staff of the Devils, said: "Your Excellency, Division Chief, Division Chiefs Itagaki and Isoya have filed a complaint with the base camp. This time, the commander has given us a death order. I am afraid that our 4th Division can no longer fight passively." Otherwise, the headquarters will really sanction us."

Matsui Yusaburo walked a few steps in the headquarters in a sullen mood, and said angrily: "Itagaki and Isoya, these two idiots, they couldn't take down Taierzhuang, and instead shifted the responsibility to our 4th Division. It's hateful!"

There are more than a dozen devil officers and generals in the meeting room. .No one offered to fight.

In fact, these key officers of the 4th Division are not all wastes with no combat experience, but the whole division is united and does not want to be cannon fodder for fearless death.

Nohara Kojiro thought for a while, and slowly said to all the officers: "Everyone, our 4th Division cannot avoid the battle of Taierzhuang. Although we can't fight the security regiment, we can pick a soft persimmon and fight a battle." Make a show and show it to the base camp."

Nohara Kojiro's combat policy is that the security regiment will not provoke it if it can. The enemy mainly attacks the 18th Independent Brigade of the Communist Party of China guarding outside the north city of Taierzhuang.

**Independent 18th Brigade, affiliated to the 2nd Group Army, has nearly 18 officers and soldiers in the 4000th Brigade.

"Yoshi, Nohara-kun, great idea!"

Matsui Yusaburo and other devil officers agree with Nohara Kojiro's battle plan, they will not fight against the security forces in the city, and only attack the 18th Brigade outside the city.

The 4th Division of the Japanese Army never attacked rashly and foolishly, and did not fight uncertain battles. Once the 4th Division started fighting, there were almost no defeats. .

Chapter 462 War Change ([-]) (Eighth)

The devil officer of the 4th Division discussed at the headquarters for half an hour, and Matsui Yusaburo made some deployments and arrangements for his subordinates.

Subsequently, the 4th Wing of the 8th Division received a combat order.

The 8th Wing is the most elite reinforced wing of the 4th Division. This wing is fully staffed and equipped with armored squadrons and large-caliber field artillery squadrons. The total number of people reaches more than 4100.

The captain of the 8th Wing did not rush to order to attack the Independent 18th Brigade, but sent an infantry squadron to conduct fire reconnaissance.

The Devil's 4th Division has always been cautious in fighting, and the commanders of each wing have shrewd minds and keen battlefield judgment.

Before a battle, the 4th Division of the Devils will do their homework, carefully reconnaissance and analysis of the opponent's strength.

An hour later, more than 200 little devils moved quietly into a forest.

In front of the woods is a small river tens of meters wide.On the opposite side of the river is the defensive position to the north of Taierzhuang.

Guarding the northern position is the independent 2th Brigade of the Second Army. The 18th Brigade has nearly 18 people. The weapons and equipment are average. The whole brigade does not have a large-caliber artillery, only a few field guns, and mortars.

Although the number of the 8th Wing and the 18th Brigade is similar, the number of weapons and artillery fire of the Japanese army is several times stronger than that of the independent 18th Brigade. The difference in weapons between the two sides is too great.

The devil knew that the weapons and equipment of the Chinese defenders on the other side of the river were backward. However, the enemy still did not launch an attack easily, but just scouted and watched on the spot.

With the strength of the Devils of the 8th Wing. .It is easy to win the position of the 18th brigade.

The devil carefully scouted the enemy's situation in this way, so as to find the weak point of the opponent's defense, attack from the weak point of defense, it is easier to break through, and it can also reduce the casualties of the attacking troops.

A ghost captain was kneeling in the woods. He held up his binoculars and looked at the position of the 18th Brigade on the other side of the river.

Captain Guizi slowly moved the telescope in his hand, carefully surveying every land and every hidden corner in front of him.

While scouting the position of the 18th Brigade, Captain Guizi asked a Guizi veteran next to him to draw the available terrain around him with a pen.

Reconnaissance of these terrains in advance is very important for combat. Once the battle starts, the commanders of each squadron of the Devils can easily occupy positions and use the nearby terrain to quickly establish firepower points.

After scouting for a while, the captain of the devil called a devil's messenger.

"Order the artillery unit... the machine gun team to conduct fire reconnaissance!"
