"It might be possible to do the opposite."
Liang Xiao had also imagined this way, but he was not sure about it.
"Humble job thinks maybe you can give it a try."
Zhou Shiji said.
"Where is Li Feng?"
Liang Xiao suddenly asked Li Feng, the commander of the Special Warfare Division.
"Li Feng is building a simple air-raid shelter with the special forces. It is estimated that the Japanese planes will bomb every day. If there is no air-raid shelter, I am afraid that the casualties of the people will increase. Therefore, he volunteered and led the soldiers of the special forces to dig dugout."
Chief of Staff Liu Quanyoudao.
"Send someone to find him for me, Major General Special Operations Division Commander, wouldn't it be an overkill to dig an air-raid shelter?"
Liang Xiao said.
"Yes."
Liu Quanyou murmured in his heart that the special operations force was the chief's treasure, even though the front line was in full swing, the special operations force did not dispatch a single soldier, after a while.
Li Feng ran to the military headquarters to report.
"Li Feng, Commander of the Special Warfare Division, was ordered to report, please give instructions from the chief."
Li Feng entered the door and saluted.
"Stop digging air-raid shelters, Commander of Special Operations, that's not your job."
Liang Xiao pointed to the Jiming Mountain on the map, and said: "I will give you a reinforcement, equipped with five armored vehicles, five tanks, a special warfare battalion, plus ten Krupp mountain guns, and you lead your troops to Jiming Mountain , Build fortifications, once the devils pass by here, be sure to destroy the devils here."
Chapter 464 The little devil of the dog day, attack
"Yes."
Li Feng agreed without even thinking about it.
He is from the Special Forces, he will not bargain for military orders, he will only resolutely obey them.
"Also, send a special warfare unit to go around the frontal battlefield, make some noise behind the devils, attract the devils' attention, restrain some devils, and relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield."
Liang Xiao said.
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
Li Feng got the order and quickly turned around and left the military headquarters.
Then, Liang Xiao and Zhou Shiji discussed the war for a while, seeing that it was getting late, they took a rest.
It was just dawn the next day.
The devil's bomber began.
The shells were thrown down like hail, and the city was full of the smell of gunpowder smoke after the shells exploded.
On the street, laborers organized by engineers, soldiers and common people carried stretchers everywhere to save people.
Liang Xiao was in a deep sleep when he was awakened by the devil's shells.
After he got up, as usual, he washed up under Chen Hua's service, and drank a bowl of steaming wonton.
"The movement of the little devil is big enough. More than 50 planes are bombing continuously. How many shells are wasted."
Liang Xiao said.
"Headquarters, the Confidentiality Section received a telegram from the commissioner. The commissioner learned that the No. 20 Army's defense line was retreating, causing the Japanese army to attack our army's flanks for less than a hundred miles. Last night, it sent a report to the first theater, ordering the No. The division commander was shot in the first war zone, and the commander of the [-]th Army failed to supervise him. He removed the post of commander and became the acting commander-in-chief of the [-]th Army. "
"The commissioner called you to let you quickly return to Los Angeles to command the battle without personally taking risks. The commissioner said that the war of resistance does not depend on the gains and losses of one city or one place. Even if Zhengzhou is lost, the responsibility is not yours."
Chen Hua relayed the meaning of the telegram.
"The principal is protecting me. Even if I withdraw the troops in Zhengzhou, the principal will not blame me. But if this happens, the principal will start to blow up the entrance of the garden again. It will be the common people who will suffer."
Liang Xiao smiled wryly.
"General, I suggest that you follow what the commissioner said, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and go back to Los Angeles to direct the overall situation."
Chen Huadao.
"As a Whampoa soldier, it is the duty of a soldier to do our best for the War of Resistance. If I leave, what will the soldiers of the 26th Army do? They will only think that it is a critical moment. I, the commander, left the army and ran away alone, and we will fight again later. , Can the 26th Army still have the morale and combat effectiveness it had before?”
Liang Xiao shook his head slightly. As a general of the first army, at this time, he should be on the front line to boost the morale of the army. As long as he is there, the 26th Army must still be an ace army with strong combat effectiveness.
"General, but the Japanese bombers are constantly bombing, so it's too unsafe to stay in the city."
Chen Huadao.
"You don't need to persuade me too much, just save yourself a little bit of effort, for a while...follow me to the street to have a look, and then go to the city gate to inspect the city defense."
Liang Xiao said lightly.
Chen Hua had no choice but to nod slightly.
It was past nine o'clock in the morning.
After eating too early, the Japanese land forces started a new round of attack.
In order to capture Zhengzhou, the Japanese army suffered a lot of bleeding. The howitzers frequently bombarded the forward positions of the 26th Army. Last night, the fortifications were repaired quickly. Under the bombardment of the Japanese army, 34% to [-]% of them were destroyed. [-].
Howitzers bombed for more than ten minutes, and the Japanese attacking troops began to charge. They used more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles to cover the attacking troops' charge.
After the Japanese army's three-axes were finished, the national army's three-axes began.
The mountain artillery group spread artillery fire to the attacking Japanese troops.
An artillery fire covered the past, and the Japanese army lost two tanks and armored vehicles, and nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed, but they still failed to stop the Japanese army from attacking.
When the Japanese army entered the range of the infantry artillery, the infantry artillery position began to bombard again. The artillery fire was very violent, completely covering the Japanese attacking troops within the fire range.
Under the bombardment of the [-]nd Artillery Group, the devil's first wave of attack slowly retreated.
10 minute later.
The little devil once again organized an attack force, about a brigade, and charged under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.
This time, the mountain artillery and the [-]nd infantry artillery fired at the same time. In the face of the fierce artillery fire, the devil's attack was blocked again and had to withdraw.
In these two rounds of attacks, the devils killed at least 300 people,,, and damaged four tanks and three armored vehicles, but they didn't even touch the edge of the 26th Army's position.
However, the devil's commander was not in a hurry. Ten minutes later, he dispatched an offensive force to charge under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.
Zhou Shiji, who was in command at the front line, could see that the little devil was using frequent attacks to consume the shells of the 26th Army.
The devil commander is also smart, knowing that the 26th Army's combat effectiveness is strong, but once there is no artillery fire, they will lose their defensive advantage.
After Zhou Shiji had an insight into the conspiracy of the devil commander, he was not afraid. The artillery units of the 26th Army had enough shells, and there was still a batch of shells in Los Angeles that were being rushed to Zhengzhou. In terms of ammunition, he was not worried.
From nine o'clock in the morning to lunch at noon, the devils launched six consecutive charges, all of which were shot down by the fierce artillery fire of the 26th Army.
At one o'clock at noon, the devil's attacking troops temporarily withdrew to the camp for dinner.
Zhou Shiji also breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the logistics kitchen to deliver meals to the frontline positions and artillery units as soon as possible, so as not to let the soldiers fight hungry.
The devil's attack was suspended, but the devil's plane came, and a round of shells hit the position of the 26th Army. Dust and smoke filled the position, and the hot steamed buns just out of the pan had not had time to be delivered to the soldiers. The devil's shells were scattered all over the ground, and a basket of hot steamed buns fell into the trench. The soldiers ignored the dirt on the steamed buns, picked them up one by one, and stuffed them into their mouths.
On the battlefield, it is good to have food, who cares if it is clean or not.
If you don't hurry up to eat right now, once the devils attack again, you won't even have time to eat.
Zhou Shiji, the frontline commander, was eating noodles at the headquarters. He was eating with relish, when suddenly, piles of loess fell from the headquarters, and a handful of sand fell into his bowl. The sand mixed with the noodles, as if adding to his some seasoning.
"The little devil of the dog day."
Zhou Shiji muttered and cursed, picked up the noodles mixed with sand and ate them in big mouthfuls. He also grew up from the grassroots army and knew what food means to soldiers on the battlefield. Even a piece of noodles should not be wasted.
Chapter 465 Battle, Dynamics of All Parties
The Japanese army launched [-] charges in a row in one day, and the battle was fought in the dark.
At the end of the day, the Japanese army failed to move forward, and lost the lives of more than 1000 soldiers in vain. The national army learned from yesterday's experience to prevent the devil's tank armor from approaching, and used artillery fire to repel more than a dozen attacks by the devil in a row. Not a big loss, shells lose a tenth of 10%.
military department.
Zhou Shiji reported today's battle to Liang Xiao.
"Boss, the little devils are too insidious. They use tank armor to cover the infantry's charge. The purpose is to consume our army's artillery shells. They dare not attack on a large scale. After all, our artillery positions are beyond the range of their heavy artillery positions. I can't figure out the specific position of our mountain artillery position, so we can only launch frequent attacks with small groups of troops, forcing our army's artillery positions to open together, wasting shells in vain. The army lacked ammunition, so they couldn't resist their massive attack, but what the little devil didn't expect was that our army had enough ammunition."
Zhou Shiji laughed and said: "Tomorrow, I think the little devils will repeat their tricks. I will play with them for two days. From the day after tomorrow, I will deliberately pretend that the ammunition is insufficient to lure the devils to send troops. When they make a big move, all the artillery fire Let’s fire together, annihilate part of the devil’s forces first, and let the war enter a balanced state, so that the devil will not dare to continue to march on a large scale, then we can defend the position and wait for the opportunity to find a fighter to wipe out the enemy.”
Liang Xiao nodded after hearing this, Zhou Shiji's trick to lure the enemy is really good, only by showing the enemy his weakness can he lure the enemy into the trap.
"The devil's howitzer position is a big threat to our army's forward position. I have ordered Geng Wanzhong, the captain of the special warfare brigade, to lead a small detachment to transform into the Japanese army and go to the Japanese camp under the cover of night to find the enemy's howitzer position. Destroy it, as long as the Japanese army has no heavy artillery positions, its firepower will be equal to that of our army, and the outcome will be five or five."
"The Japanese army relies on aerial bombers to frequently bomb the city defense fortifications. I have ordered the bomber formation parked at the Los Angeles Airport to take off this morning. First scout the terrain and provide fire support to the frontline soldiers. Starting tomorrow, our bombers will fight with the Japanese bombers." Competing in the sky, this war is not only a duel of ground forces, but also a duel of fighter planes between the two armies."
"The Japanese army has more than 50 bombers at Baoding Airport, but our 100th Army has more than [-] bombers parked at Jinling and Shanghai Airports. I ordered the fourth formation of fighter jets stationed in Jinling to fly to Los Angeles Airport tonight. , Tomorrow morning, more than [-] bombers and fighter jets of our army will join the air combat, and our situation will change a lot by then."
Zhou Shiji immediately smiled and said: "Boss, this is really great. As long as we also have fighter jets to cheer, the war situation will be greatly improved."
"Don't get too excited. Although we also have aviation units to participate, the quality of our pilots is still much worse than that of the Japanese pilots. It is still unknown whether we will have enough aviation units."
If Liang Xiao hadn't been forced too much by the little devil, he would be reluctant to send more than 60 fighters at once. After all, these...bombers and fighter jets were purchased by him from Germany at a cost of tens of millions of dollars. It is used to deter the Japanese navy and coastal defense.
.
"This is enough, as long as there are flying, the morale of our troops can be inflated."
Zhou Shiji laughed loudly.
At this time.
Confidential Ke Chu Xiangxue came over with a telegram.
"Boss, just received a telegram from Chief of Staff Yang, the Sakata Regiment attacked the headquarters of a division of the Jin Army stationed at Erdaohe. Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, they broke through the Jin army's position at Erdaohe and headed towards Zhengzhou at full speed. "
"Boss, a telegram has been forwarded from the first war zone. Tang Enbo's army was attacked by the main force of the Japanese army in Hankou. Its vanguard resisted for three hours and then gave up its position and retreated. At present, the devils in Hankou are marching to Zhengzhou with all their strength. Tang Enbo The army is building a large position in Shuangshi Township, and it is expected to last for more than three days."
"The 66th Army stationed in Kaifeng sent a message that the devils in Jinzhong are divided into two groups. One starts from Taiyuan, detours to attack Kaifeng, and the other starts from Northwest Shanxi. At present, the Central Army troops in the second theater are fighting against coming from Taiyuan. The devil, Song Zheyuan's first group army blocked the Japanese army coming from the northwest of Shanxi, the two armies have just fought, and it is still unclear whether the victory or defeat is clear, the 66th Army asked for instructions, whether to support the Northwest Army in combat."
Chu Xiangxue quickly read out the telegram just received.
"Chief of Staff Yang of the Power Generation, please tell Shang Zhen's 20th Army. Just tell me what I said, the Jin army is too fat. In addition, ask him to tell the first theater on your behalf. The devils in Jizhong will not work first. The war zone is over, our [-]th Army will solve it on our own, please withdraw the No.[-] Army in Jizhong quickly to avoid accidental injury.”
"Power Generation Tang Enbo Army: Commander Tang, the enemy in Hankou has about one division, carrying heavy equipment, your troops do not need to fight the enemy's position, use the mountain ravines to fight step by step, destroy the enemy's heavy equipment, and slow down their marching speed. "
"Sun Bing of the 66th Army of Power Generation: The Northwest Army is poorly equipped. Your department can provide Song Zheyuan with ammunition and artillery support according to the situation. Be sure to help the Northwest Army block the ghosts in Northwest Shanxi."
"In addition, Wei Lihuang, the deputy commander of the second war zone, asked him to lead the Central Army to resist the Japanese troops coming out of Taiyuan."
"It is planned to send a telegram to the Military and Political Council: At present, the frontal enemy of our 26th Army is the 5th Division and a brigade, about 26 people. The enemy is carrying heavy artillery, tanks, and armor. For two consecutive days, we have bombarded the positions of our [-]th Army. Although it is still in our hands, the frontline troops have suffered heavy losses, please urge the troops in each theater to intercept the Japanese troops bound for Zhengzhou and Kaifeng."
Liang Xiao continued to dictate multiple telegrams in one breath.
Chu Xiangxue wrote them down one by one, and turned to send the report.
As soon as she left, Tang Menghan, the confidential secretary, came back.
"The Northern Bureau of Military Command sent a message saying that at noon today, the [-]th Division stationed in the Pingjin area set off for Baoding, and within two days, they would arrive in Baoding area. According to the analysis of the intelligence personnel of the Northern Bureau, the [-]th Division was ordered by the North China Front Army Command , went south to participate in the battle of Zhengzhou."
Tang Menghan handed over the received telegram to Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao took a look at the telegram and raised his eyebrows. This telegram from the Northern Bureau was very timely.
Chapter 466 The outcome is unpredictable, see you late at night
If the information from the Northern Bureau is true, then the frontal enemy on the Zhengzhou battlefield is... not one and a half divisions, but two and a half divisions, a total of [-] to [-], devils.
From last year to today, a devil brigade can easily defeat a division-level army, a devil regiment can defeat an entire army, and a division can usually sweep two or three entire armies, and two and a half divisions stacked together The fighting power is enough to fight head-on with more than 20 troops in the first theater, and the outcome is unpredictable.
On the battlefield of Taierzhuang, a brigade of the Japanese army swept away the two reorganized armies of the Jin army, causing the Jin army to flee in embarrassment.
But now, Zhengzhou City has as many as 7 to 26 enemies on the frontal battlefield,,, and the 2th Army defending the city has only more than 26 people. With such a disparity in strength, whether the [-]th Army can hold Zhengzhou is already unknown.
Just heard the news.
Liang Xiao immediately furrowed his eyebrows. If the outcome was still unknown before, then the joining of the [-]th Division tilted the balance of victory to the Japanese side.
"The main seat..."
Zhou Shiji was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and there was a hint of retreat in his eyes.
