Chapter 584: Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang (1)

"Oh, God, is this true..."

"It's true!"

"I'm going to send a telegram to the newspaper immediately..."

Early in the morning, after receiving the news that GJ was severely hitting the Japanese army in Taier, they rushed to the post office, and the phone and radio station were instantly squeezed out. ▲∴

Everyone wants to send this news back as soon as possible, and maybe they can catch up with the first edition of the news in the morning.

That way you can seize the opportunity.

The news of the "Bei Luo" annihilation battle spread out under the initiative or unintentional push of some people. The rapid spread is astonishing.

Before the Japanese army arrived in Taierzhuang, they suffered such a big loss. They were not defeated or blocked, but were completely wiped out.

It was a mixed force of more than 1,000 people, with powerful firepower and combat power enough to fight against an elite field division of GJ. At least, facing such an enemy, there are not many GJ generals who dare to say that they can easily defeat the opponent under the same circumstances.

Mr. Tang, who led his troops to burrow the ravine and avoided the Japanese army's edge, received a telegram from his subordinates and his first reaction was that this was absolutely impossible.

Among the direct lineage of the Central Army, Chen Cixiu and Hu Shoushan suffered a lot in the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing. Now his 20th Legion is the strongest and his weapon equipment is the best.

He didn't dare to resist the Japanese head-on, and there were still people who could beat the Japanese head-on, and the Japanese were wiped out, with less than one-fifth of the Japanese being injured or killed?

It is too outrageous that the new 38th Brigade falsely reported its military achievements. Do the leaders of the theater commander-in-chief's headquarters think it is 25?

The telegrams of doubt and disbelief were sent to the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone like snowflakes. It was obvious that there were not many people who believed the battle report of the New 38th Brigade.

It is not unbelievable that Sun Lianzhong, the 2nd Army, who cooperated with the New 38th Brigade to defend the Hanzhuang Canal position in Taierzhuang, was heard by Chi Fengcheng, the commander of his subordinate 31st Division.

He was sure that the battle report of the New 38th Brigade was true. Although Chi Fengcheng only saw a small part of the beginning, the result was already destined. The Japanese mixed army almost couldn't survive under such a blow.

Of course, the most intuitive feeling is Director Liu Weizhang of the Operations Department of the General Staff Head of the Military Commission. He originally planned to come to fight the formation, but when he arrived in Taierzhuang, the battle was over.

Apart from some property losses, Taierzhuang, which suffered a round of air strikes, did not suffer much casualties, and was not panicked at all. All follow-up work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

This kind of bombing is a tragedy for the New 38th Brigade. When it was guarding the river defense position, Japanese planes threw bombs over their heads and blocked the Japanese army from landing on the river. The battle was cruel. The New 38th Brigade suffered more than one-third of the casualties.

It was the largest casualties since the establishment of the new 38th Brigade.

But this has not survived. The new 38th Brigade has become stronger and stronger. After a month of rest and replenishment, not only has its strength recovered, but it has also become more reborn.

Liu Weizhang has been in the army for many years and has rich experience in leading troops. He has seen countless troops. It is rare to see such calm and natural, full of energy, and high-spirited troops.

"Welcome Director Liu to our new 38th Brigade to guide our work!"

"I dare not be a brigade commander Luo, you fought well in this battle, and it showed the prestige of the GJ people in my country, hit the arrogance of the little Japanese, and promoted our army's prestige, and the national prestige!" Liu Weizhang was very excited. Although he rushed slowly but still couldn't catch up, he was not unhappy at all. The shorter the battle time, the smaller the chance of loss, which was a favorable thing.

"Okay, Director Liu, please!"

"The conditions here are simple, so Director Liu is neglected!"

"Battle Commander Luo is polite, please!"

Wuhan, Luojiashan, Jiang Mansion.

"What is the name of the brigade commander of this new 38th Brigade?"

"Sir, Luo Yufeng, turned out to be a battalion commander of the teaching corps. He stood out in the Nanjing Battle and became famous in Yuxikou. He killed the Japanese Colonel Yoshiharu Takeshita?"

"Oh, I remembered it, yes, it's him, it's him, what is this Luo Yufeng's origin?" Old Jiang had a good memory, and he remembered it after a flash of his mind.

"Luo Yufeng..."

"This Luo Yufeng is only in his early thirties, and he is a talented person in the party and the country!" Old Jiang said repeatedly, "Prepare, I will go to Xuzhou for inspection today."

"Sir, the Japanese army has just air strikes through Xuzhou, and now they have suffered such a big loss. The Japanese army will take revenge at any time. It's too unsafe to go now." Lin Wei hurriedly persuaded.

"The soldiers on the front line sacrificed their lives and killed the enemy in blood. I, the chairman of the Military Commission, can only sit in the back and talk? I want to inspect the front line and comfort the soldiers who are fighting to encourage them to fight the enemy bravely. It is also a sign of Chiang Kai-shek's determination to fight against Japan!" Chiang Kai-shek said heavily.

"What the sir said makes sense, but a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. The sir is responsible for the safety of the entire party and the country. You may not have to go there in person. Just be a good person to trust people."

"Don't say it. This time, I will go in person, notify the Air Force, wait for the order, and take off at any time!" Old Jiang was determined to go to the front line of Xuzhou to inspect.

"Yes." Lin Wei knew that the persuasion was fruitless, so he might as well agree first.

The chairman of the aviation committee is the wife. As long as the wife knows, there is a way.

Lin Wei had a good idea, but he just guessed the beginning, but did not see the result. His wife was unable to stop Chiang Kai-shek from going to Xuzhou for inspection.

"Mr. Jiang is coming to Xuzhou?"

Leng Feng received a top-secret message from Wuhan almost at the same time as Chief Li of Xuzhou.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek came to Xuzhou in person, just to boost morale for the Fifth War Zone, and to show his determination to fight against the war. Whether he is here to show or be sincere, as the actual leader of the Wuhan Government, being able to take risks in person at this time is enough to show his attitude.

Fortunately, he was not in Xuzhou, so he didn't need to follow Li Delin and the others to welcome him and see him off, and he was still worried.

Leng Feng estimated that Li Delin was reluctant to go over now. If something happened, it would be a big deal. The Japanese army was now hit by a blow head-on and was dizzy. I don’t know what was going on.

When he understands, the counterattack must be extremely fierce.

In fact, after the Shimayama Advance Detachment was wiped out, Fukuei Mahei was scolded by Seya Kit on the phone for nearly half an hour. If no one had replaced him, it would have probably ended Fukuei Mahei's military career early.

When did the 10th Division suffer such a great loss? The commander of the division in Fuji Prefecture, Risuke Isotani, came with a telegram and occupied Taierzhuang within three days and wiped out the Chinese army that destroyed Shimayama's advance into the detachment. Otherwise, Kiyoshi Segai rolled back to Japan to raise pigs.

With such severe consequences, Seya Kit could see that the division commander Risuke Isotani was really angry!

The Seya Detachment went south and headed straight to Taierzhuang.

At the same time, he commanded the Japanese army to capture Yuxikou and went north along the Huainan Railway. He received a notice of the severe setback of the 10th Division of the North China Japanese Army in Taierzhuang.

The Japanese "strategy master" did not have any sympathy, but instead gloated. He had long informed the Japanese army of North China about the combat effectiveness of the New 38th Brigade.

These arrogant guys didn't listen at all. Now they know the consequences of underestimating the enemy, right?

Those guys who say they are "incompetent", should I shut up now?

In fact, the "incompetent" guys in Niudao's mouth were not as smart as he imagined. They didn't realize this at all, and just simply thought that this was just an accident.

It was the commander of the advancing detachment, Ichiro Shimayama, who was too incompetent, that he fell into the trap of the enemy and was wiped out.

As for their opponents, they still have their consistent thinking and consistent understanding, and they don’t take it to heart!

The Japanese army in North China received the content of the war report of the New 38th Brigade to the Fifth War Zone through secret channels. The first reaction of the Japanese army in North China was almost the same as those who did not believe in the New 38th Brigade.

This was a deliberately forged record, which was simply impossible. They would rather believe that killing a thousand elite Japanese Imperial Army would cost at least three thousand or more Chinese soldiers.

There are only two hundred people, don’t tease me!

In the telegrams Isotani Ryosuke to the Second Army and the Front Army, he made a firm conclusion that the troops in the China ** team, that is, the defenders of Taierzhuang, lost at least 3,000 people, and at least tens of thousands of troops involved in the siege that night, even more than one hundred thousand!

The number of the "Tang" legion was mentioned again. Isotani Ryosuke concluded that the elite team of the GJ team was in Taierzhuang because they had to guard somewhere, otherwise they would have to give up the important town of Xuzhou.

The commander of the Second Army, Nishio Diejisato, agreed with Yoshiya Ryosuke's judgment, believing that after a brief contact with the Segaya detachment, the main force moved to Taierzhuang to deploy defense, the purpose of ensuring the safety of Xuzhou.

This is in line with the consistent tactical tactics of the Chinese GJ army, strict defense, and very rigid tactics.

In fact, part of the "Tang" legion was indeed arranged on the south bank of the canal, but the main force had already penetrated and detoured to the rear of the Japanese army, lying dormant and waiting for the opportunity.

The Japanese army judged that the "Tang" legion appeared in the Taierzhuang area, which was not wrong. After all, they had contact and exchange of fire before, but they wrongly judged that the "Daoshan" advanced to the detachment was defeated by the "Tang" legion, and the "New 38th Brigade" of that star force was just a smoke bomb thrown by the Chinese.

The new 38th Brigade can indeed be called a star force. In the battle of Yuxikou, it became famous all over the world. Although its halo is not as good as the later "Honorary Division", it is at least a powerful brigade that is famous at home and abroad.

The Chinese people's concealment of this is not what they want to fool the Japanese Empire, but in the face of real strength, any conspiracy is ineffective.

Isotani Ryosuke decided to increase his strength against the Segaya Detachment, and drew three infantry brigades from the Nagase Detachment that was preparing to attack Hancheng, one mountain artillery brigade, one cavalry brigade, and some auxiliary troops, a total of 6,000 people, and joined the Segaya Detachment!
