Chapter 292 Eastern counterattack, Chen Ziyun revitalizes the overall situation

"Chen Ziyun, it must be Chen Ziyun!"

"The Glory First Division advanced from Xiangning City to the Zhongtiao Mountain area. Chen Ziyun commanded an elite group to enter Zhongtiao Mountain."

"In a short period of time, they quickly assisted the Fifth Group Army in gathering the defeated troops and helped them build a complete defensive position in the area east of Pinglu City."

"Only Chen Ziyun can do this. This man's abilities are terrifying. He seems to have too many unusual things."

"The person who commanded the main force of the Glory First Division to fight in Li Yuanzhen must be Chu Yunfei."

"If I guess correctly, the Eighth Route Army in Zijin Mountain must be Li Yunlong's army."

"These three people, as long as they come together, can bring about earth-shaking changes."

Yoshio Shinozuka pointed at the map and said with a solemn expression on his face.

After analyzing all aspects of the news, he quickly made a judgment.

He immediately realized that Chen Ziyun had commanded the troops to enter Zhongtiao Mountain, and quickly assisted the Fifth Army to contain the troops.

Commander-in-chief Liu, who commanded the operations of the 14th Army, personally made arrangements for the two divisions of the 15th Army, which had the worst combat effectiveness, to stay in place.

"It's just that what you said makes sense. With their three armies gathered together, we were able to quickly capture their main force and annihilate them."

The 16 independent brigade and the Puppet Mongolian Army and the Puppet Manchukuo Army were assigned to fight, and they attacked with all their strength to contain these troops and prevent them from crossing the river.

Especially here in the reconnaissance company, they have snipers.

Shinozuka Yoshio asked them to strengthen their offensive, threaten the main force of the Glory First Division as much as possible, and defeat it from the Li Yuanzhen area.

The captain of the Lieutenant Colonel showed a surprised expression. He was still a little unconvinced and raised his telescope to observe.

The 14th Army, the 15th Army, the 93rd Army, and the 98th Army mobilized four divisions to counterattack the 33rd Division and the 4th Cavalry Brigade.

"But they have sophisticated weapons and equipment, and now they are pressing in from the east, west, north, and west."

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, seven divisions of troops began to launch a counterattack against the 33rd Division and the 4th Cavalry Brigade.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on May 10th, something changed on the battlefield in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Among these four thousand troops, there were two thousand heavy troops. The Glory First Division had to take a detour when they saw it.

With rifles in hand, it is almost impossible to intercept these troops.

With a thousand puppet troops rushing to help, he would not think that the battle here could be solved.

The 14th Group Army is the unit that Wei Junru once served as the commander-in-chief, but the composition of the subordinate units is relatively complicated.

But soon, Chu Yunfei's message was sent.

Temporarily organized the 45th Division, the 46th Division, the 70th Division, and the 84th Division.

Two divisions held their positions, while one division quickly moved southward toward Fengmenkou, trying to establish contact with the Ninth Army.

Of course, the 358th Regiment was facing the attack of the 27th Infantry Division at this time. They were also under great pressure, and their own casualties were also increasing.

Wei Junru quickly made adjustments and deployments based on battlefield conditions.

Sun Xiong and Zhu Mingxuan commanded four Shanxi-style mountain guns, and four Japanese-style mountain guns built an artillery position and prepared for support.

The situation at that time was that there was the 41st Division in the north of Yuanqu City, which was independently mixed into the 9th Brigade.

The captain of the Zhongjiao Regiment knew that the 21st Division was going to advance quickly and completely blockade the north bank of the Yellow River. This was a very important combat order.

Suddenly, a large number of radios became busy, and the communication troops began to transmit different combat orders to various departments.

The more the troops fought, the more confident they became, their morale was high, and the officers and soldiers gradually gained practical experience and knew how to better deal with the Japs' attacks.

They quickly launched defensive deployments and actively called for aviation support, hoping to regain the initiative.

Until now, the commander of the 35th Division, Harada Kumakichi, can only command the troops to stay in place to prevent the 10th Division from opening up contact with the 9th Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio looked towards Hanagani Masa and the others, and he couldn't help but asked curiously.

At the same time, they also need to leave troops behind for defense from Lanfeng in Henan Province south of the Yellow River to the shopping mall and other areas.

The 10th Division quickly moved south to attack the Japanese and puppet troops encircling the Ninth Army.

Liang Guoping, the regimental attaché of the artillery regiment, has been continuously commanding the mountain artillery battalion and the heavy artillery company to provide fire support.

But at this time, the 35th Division was also under greater pressure.

Then the first battalion began to attack with all its strength from the north to the south. Three infantry companies, with the cooperation of a machine gun company, fought very easily.

Gao Peiwu's 17th Army and Zhao Chuanbi's 43rd Army defended their positions and displayed unprecedented combat effectiveness.

After the Ninth Army received the order, they also organized troops to counterattack.

More than 20,000 troops from four divisions stayed put, and the 41st Division and the independent mixed ninth brigade assembled a total of more than 16,000 troops to continue the fierce attack.

At the same time, the First Army Headquarters quickly contacted the 7th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, the 27th Division and other Japanese and puppet troops.

Faced with the attack of 30,000 to 40,000 troops from these seven divisions, they did not dare to be careless and quickly stopped the attack and launched defense on the spot.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, about 400 Japanese soldiers and heavy troops deployed on the periphery were eliminated one after another.

But as the 10th Division rushed in for reinforcements, the situation was instantly reversed, and this weak fire turned into a fierce fire.

At first they were also afraid and worried that they would be defeated.

As for the reserve I1 brigade stationed in Li Yuanzhen and the north, they are under the command of Hao Shiwen, deputy division commander and brigade commander, and they mainly deal with attacks by Japanese and puppet troops in the west.

A sniper grasped the commanding heights and pulled the trigger one after another.

The 93rd Army is a direct line unit. This unit has good weapons and equipment and has certain combat effectiveness.

The three divisions attacked from Lingchuan and attacked the Japanese troops in the southwest direction.

The number of troops attacking Yuanqu City was small, but they were well-armed and equipped.

After he commanded the troops to reach Yuanqu City, the first battalion quickly eliminated the small group of troops north of Yuanqu City.

A captain came to the captain of the Lieutenant Colonel in a panic and hurriedly reported.

They quickly moved south and continued to attack the 35th Division, the 20th Division, the 21st Division, and the 24th Division of the Royal Associated Army.

Chen Ziyun even personally commanded the first battalion of troops to quickly press from the north.

After Li Yunlong received Chu Yunfei's message, he smiled and immediately began to issue orders.

Lieutenant General Harada Kumakichi, commander of the 35th Division, commanded about 30,000 Japanese and puppet troops who continued to attack, but their own progress was not very great.

However, as the Japs' troops were repelled one after another, they discovered that the Japs were not that scary after all.

If a large number of heavy troops are to defend the high ground on both sides, for example, the 41st Division previously deployed 4,000 troops to defend Purple Mountain.

However, the First Battalion and the Guard Company launched an attack on them, and their casualties continued to increase.

The reconnaissance company, four reconnaissance platoons and a machine gun platoon immediately established their positions.

Its machine gun batteries were deployed on the highlands on both sides for suppressive shooting, and from time to time artillery shells and dense bullets would arrive.

Sun Yu's machine gun battalion was also ready for support operations to strengthen the defense forces south of Li Yuanzhen.

Zhou Wenbo's field artillery battalion also began to secretly move eastward with the assistance of the new regiment.

The 93rd Army dispatched the 10th Division to move south to advance towards Fengmenkou. The two main divisions cooperated with the two divisions of the 98th Army to carry out combat counterattacks.

At the same time, they kept contacting the aviation force for support, but so far, they have made no progress.

"The firepower deployed on the east and west highlands kept firing into the city, and we almost didn't dare to show our heads."

Xie Yunxia commanded the guard company to be deployed on the west side of Yuanqu City, and Wei Monk commanded the reconnaissance company to be deployed on the east side of Yuanqu City.

For a moment, they didn't know what Chen Ziyun would do next.

The main forces of the 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 21st Division accelerated their advance and quickly encircled them from the north and east.

"Will they stay on the position to assist in combat and defense? Can their small force block our three divisions and one brigade?"

The 10th Division is a direct unit that was reorganized by the principal after annexing local troops. Wei Junru served as the division commander.

To the east of Yuanqu City, there are the 35th Division and three divisions of the Imperial Association Army.

At 3:10, the captain of the Zhongjiao Regiment quickly generated electricity and directly requested tactical guidance from the 35th Division to the east.

Therefore, the captain of the Lieutenant General's Alliance hopes that the 35th Division and other troops in the east can quickly mobilize troops to rush over for reinforcements.

Hard paper can extinguish this weak fire at any time, but if you are not careful, it will be directly ignited and burned by the weak fire.

The 84th Division under the 17th Army quickly joined forces with the Shunwangping 43rd Army.

After receiving the request message from Yuanqu City, Harada Kumonaki did not refuse.

The pressure here is not very high, and the casualties are minimal.

The reconnaissance company and the guard company are equipped with very strong weapons, most of the officers and soldiers are elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.

The 98th Army is a unit of the Shaanxi Army, and they have a strong will to fight.

Moreover, the connection between the Ninth Army and the 14th Group Army was cut off, but they still fought tenaciously in the Fenmenkou area.

The commander of the 41st Division, Shimizu Rules, and the commander of the 9th Independent Brigade, Kenkichi Ikegami, were extremely angry.
