Chapter 607: Bloody Battle of Taierzhuang (24)
Baodugu, Lao Tang's army.
"Legislative Commander, we haven't turned on the computer for so long, so Chief Li must be anxious, right?" Wan Jianfan, the staff officer of the 20th Legion, couldn't help but remind Lao Tang.
After all, they are now in the Fifth War Zone, and are under the control of Li Delin, and have broken the relationship, which is not good for everyone.
"Wait a little longer." Lao Tang didn't care. He didn't take Li Delin seriously. The Guizhou clan has always been incompatible with zy. He is Lao Chiang's confidant, so would he be afraid of a local warlord?
Even if the position of warlords in this place is higher than that of him, will they have to be stronger than others?
"Captain of the Legion, the 52nd Army has already had a fire with the Japanese army in Guoliji. The number of the Japanese army is the Second Battalion of the 10th Regiment of the 33rd Brigade." Chief of Staff Gou Jitang walked into the narrow combat room with a telegram.
"We didn't expose our intentions, right?"
"It shouldn't be there, but the Japanese army should have discovered our existence, but I don't know where our main force is." Gou Jitang said.
"How did Guan Yudong deal with it?"
"They ate the Japanese army that captured Guoliji, and then left only two companies, the main force contracted eastward, luring Japanese reinforcements to attack eastward!"
"What about the intentions of this Japanese army?"
"I don't know, but from the direction of their march, they should be going to support the Sakamoto Detachment in Linyi."
"So, Seya Detachment still has the strength to support others?"
No one said Lao Tang. Lao Tang's thoughts could be guessed by some of his subordinates. Some words were only understood in their hearts, but it was unnecessary to say them.
"According to our investigation, except for the main force of the 63rd Regiment attacking Taierzhuang, Zaozhuang, Yicheng and more than a dozen villages and towns along the Zaolin branch, there are at least tens of thousands of Japanese troops, Hanzhuang and their Sewu Detachment are alert to the south and Weishan Lake, and reinforcements can be provided at any time."
"How is Taierzhuang?"
"It's still in battle, but the combat effectiveness of the new 38th Brigade is indeed strong. Today is the seventh day. The Japanese army has not made any major progress in Taierzhuang, and there are quite a few casualties!"
"What's the news in Wuhan?"
"This afternoon, the Japanese air strikes against Wuhan, and was defeated by our Air Force and the Soviet Air Support Team, and the Japanese lost 23 aircraft!"
"This is a rare victory, no less than the air battle above Taierzhuang a few days ago!" Lao Tang couldn't help but smile.
"The commander of the army, the commander of the 52nd Army, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived in Guoliji. Please tell me what to do next?" The confidential adjutant asked with a telegram.
"Let him maintain contact with the Japanese army, but don't expose his own strength. Let the Japanese army believe that our main force is not here." Lao Tang said slowly.
"So should I let the Japanese army go?"
Old Tang frowned. This was not a joke. If he let the Japanese army go, Zhang and Pang would be attacked from both sides and lose Linyi. The crime of losing it is quite serious.
"It's better to hold the Japanese army for three or five days and wait for the opportunity!" Lao Tang thought for a while and ordered.
"yes!"
"Legislative Commander, Chief Li has ordered us to attack. If we delay, it may not work..." Chief of Staff Wan Jianfan said worriedly. This is offending the Fifth War Zone to death, especially the New 38th Brigade, which was under tremendous pressure and casualties in Taierzhuang, was also the elite of zy.
President Jiang flew to Xuzhou, and went to Taierzhuang to inspect. He also summoned Luo Yufeng, the commander of the New 38th Brigade, which shows how important President Jiang attaches great importance to the New 38th Brigade.
"Send a telegram to Luo Yufeng, saying that if I attack now, at most, it will defeat the Japanese Seya Detachment. If he persists for three or five days, it will consume most of the energy and ammunition storage of the Japanese army. At this time, the attack will be greater and the results will be greater." Lao Tang thought for a while and ordered the confidential secretary to draft a telegram report.
"Do you want to explain it to Chief Li?"
"President's Telegram!"
"..." Lao Tang's face suddenly became gloomy after reading the content of the telegram. Someone asked Lao Jiang to sue him. There was no need to think about who this person was.
"Don't worry about him, just explain our situation and intentions to the president's telegram!"
Just leaving the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone? Wan Jianfan was a little surprised. Doing this would offend Li Delin to death? Zhang Guang's temper was too bad. If this continues, he will offend one or two people.
"Report to the commander of the army, Lanling Town discovered that the GJ troops had about one reinforcement battalion, with very strong firepower, unknown number and unknown purpose."
"Lanling Town?" Old Tang couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when he heard this. At this point, a GJ army actually appeared in Lanling Town. Is it a coincidence?
"Can it be Zhang Xiuchen's person?"
"If Zhang Xunchen had any action, wouldn't he notify us?" Lao Tang glared at the Chief of Staff, and helped them with so many weapons and ammunition, all of which were fed to the ungrateful wolf?
"Who could it be?"
"Sun Fanglu doesn't have such good weapons and equipment, so there is only one possibility in the Taierzhuang area?" Lao Tang closed his eyes and thought for a while.
"The Legion Commander is talking about the New 38th Brigade?"
"This Luo Yufeng not only has a set of war, but also has a good ambition. Don't worry about him. Since his people are in Lanling Town, we can also save us from going to the defense. Let the 52nd Army contact them, tell them the news of the Japanese army's eastward advance, and ask them to be wary." Tang Keqin ordered.
Xuzhou, commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone.
"This Tang Keqin, if I hadn't sent Mr. Jiang a message to him, I wouldn't know what he wanted to do!" Li Delin received an explanation from Jiang that Tang's army did not attack immediately, and slapped the table angrily.
"Dong De, please calm down. Now that things have come to this point, it can only be like this, but the situation is not the worst." Liu Weizhang comforted him. He was a little angry with Lao Tang this time. This guy did too much. Is there any discipline of a soldier?
He is so mean to be charming, Chen Cixiu and Hu Shoushan are not like him, right?
"What's going on with Luo Yufeng?"
"They have been guarded, and they have suffered a lot of casualties. So far, there have been 4,000 casualties. They have removed the regiment from the rest and replenished the regiment."
"Where is the Japanese army?"
"There are no less than three thousand casualties, and there are two thousand people in the city. There are corpses everywhere in the village. It is too late to clean up, and now it is stenched."
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the corpses are rotten and smelly, and they are prone to breeding bacteria. If a plague occurs, it will be troublesome."
"Tell Luo Yufeng to let him be careful and hygienic. If there is non-combat reduction, it will be troublesome." Li Delin ordered in a deep voice.
"Captain Li, telegram from the new 38th Brigade Commander Luo!"
"We can't take the lead in this matter..." Qin Yankun whispered.
"The heroes have similar views. We can only teach Tang Keqin a lesson in this matter, and the earth is not left without him." Luo Yufeng snorted coldly.
"I'll contact Commander Chi and the others. They want Commander-in-Chief Sun to suggest that there is no need to say anything about the Sichuan Army, and they will definitely stand on the same line as us." Qin Yankun said.
"Okay, I'll send a telegram to the teacher's seat. You go and get the support of the two division commanders Huang!" Luo Yufeng was a man who did it at will, and immediately assigned a task.
