While the fierce battle in Taierzhuang was in full swing, the vanguard troops of the Japanese Division also arrived in the Nianzhuang area with amazing means.

It happened to be a head-on encounter with the vanguard of the 119th Division of Liu Ziliang, who was ordered to move to the anti-nianzhuang.

At this time, Nianzhuang was just a small village east of Xuzhou, just because of the Longhai Railway and Longhai Highway running through the entire territory. After Lianyungang lost, this place became the last and most important line of defense to block the Japanese Division's Westward Entry into Xuzhou!

Both the enemy and us arrived at Nianzhuang almost at the same time. The Japanese vanguard troops were the cavalry corps directly under the First Division, with more than 1,000 people and more than 1,000 war horses.

The vanguard of the Chinese army was the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division, with only more than 500 people.

If you encounter it in the wilderness, you won’t have to fight this battle.

Perhaps the more than 500 people were dispersed and defeated by the Japanese cavalry regiment before they could even set up defenses.

Fortunately, it is in this village.

Major Wang Zhizhong, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division, immediately ordered the troops to rely on the houses and buildings in the village as bunkers to set up guns to block the Japanese army.

"Da da da da!"

"Tututu!——"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"——"

The dense gunfire suddenly rang throughout the village.

All the Japanese vanguard troops were cavalry, with large targets and in narrow and complex terrain, it was extremely difficult to dodge and spiral.

So, he was immediately caught off guard by the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division.

A dense rain of bullets swept towards us, and more than 30 Japanese cavalrymen were shot down.

The war horses under their crotch were also shot.

However, the vitality of the war horses is obviously more tenacious than that of the Japanese cavalry, and they did not die immediately after being shot.

Instead, he spread his four hooves in the painful cry and ran around frantically.

So much so that the rest of the Japanese cavalry suddenly formed a group of chaos.

In addition, I was uncertain how many Chinese soldiers were in the village. In a frightened state, they could only retreat first.

Wang Zhizhong, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division, immediately commanded the troops to pursue. After driving the Japanese cavalry out of the village, Major Wang Zhizhong ordered the troops to stop pursuing, while allowing his subordinates to occupy as many courtyards as possible and build defensive fortifications on the spot.

At the same time, we quickly sent someone to report the situation and seek support!

Tian Wenqi, the commander of the 119th Division, was shocked when he learned that the Japanese vanguard had arrived in Nianzhuang and immediately led the main force of the division to accelerate.

At this time, a follow-up unit of the Japanese Army's First Division also arrived in Nianzhuang.

The Japanese officer led the team was Major General Obofu, the commander of the 128th Brigade.

After a brief understanding of the situation, this old Japanese man.

Immediately ordered the 150th Infantry Regiment under his command to launch an attack from the front so as to open up the road to attack Xuzhou as soon as possible!

The cavalry unit flew around from both wings and launched an attack, and also ensured the safety of the two wings of the offensive troops.

Liu Ziliang's 68th Army has two divisions under its command, namely the 119th Division and the 143rd Division.

Among them, General Liu Ziliang personally served as the commander of the 143rd Division.

At this time, except for several logistics troops of the 119th Division, which were still on the way from Xuzhou, had basically all arrived at Nianzhuang.

The two sides had the same situation as water and fire, and they started a fierce exchange of fire like Mars colliding with the earth.

Because the 3rd Battalion of the 119th Division seized favorable terrain in advance and laid defense lines. In addition, the Japanese's troops did not have the advantage, nor did they have heavy firepower such as field artillery.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the Japanese offensive troops suffered a big loss.

However, as other units of the First Division continued to arrive, especially the direct tank and tank chariot brigade of the First Division, as well as the direct field artillery corps, and the direct field artillery corps arrived one after another, and joined the battlefield, the battle began to become more tragic.

Fortunately, General Liu Ziliang personally led the 143rd Division and other directly affiliated troops to the Nianzhuang battlefield one after another.

The forces invested by both sides began to rise rapidly, and the scale of the battle continued to expand.

From Nianzhuang to several surrounding villages, hills, rivers and other important terrains, they have become the main battlefield for the confrontation between the enemy and us and the important position for repeated competition.

Especially Nianzhuang, because of its important geographical location, it will become the focus of competition between the enemy and us.

Both sides fought for the death and fought to the death!

Under the bombardment of the Japanese field artillery corps and the tank chariot brigade, almost all the Nianzhuang was razed to the ground by artillery fire.

There is almost no complete house building, only a blockade of adobe mud walls that collapsed.

Nianzhuang has become a large meat grinder, constantly strangling the vitality of both the enemy and us!

Because the Japanese army has strategic weapons such as tanks and tanks, they can rush around the battlefield without any scruples.

Because the defenders lack strategic weapons such as anti-tank guns, they had to send suicide squads to carry explosives to bomb the Japanese tanks.

In addition, the Japanese artillery firepower, soldiers' marksmanship, combat qualities, etc. are stronger than the 68th Army.

Therefore, as the battle continued, the situation began to tilt towards the disadvantaged side of the 68th Army.

…………

Inside Xuzhou City.

In order to replicate Jinling City, a surprise attack on the miracle of the garrison headquarters.

A disguised Japanese agent carrying submachine guns, pistols and other weapons, walked around the streets in the night and quietly moved towards the Fifth War Zone Command.

Finally, I stopped in an alley not far from the headquarters.

Soon, a Japanese agent in charge of surveillance appeared sneakily at the entrance of the alley.

The head of the agent waved, and the agent immediately ran over carefully and whispered to the leader: "Sir, it seems that most of the guards of the Chinese army have been transferred away. It is estimated that they should have gone to resist the attack of the Imperial Army's First Division!

The headquarters of the Chinese Army is now extremely empty, and there are less than one company of the defenders!"

"Yo Xi! This is really a rare opportunity!" The Japanese agent's agent leader flashed his murderous intent and said happily: "Remember, be sure to fight quickly later!

It is best to capture Li Delin, or kill Li, the commander of the Fifth War Zone of the Chinese Army, and control their radio stations!"

"Hayi!"

A group of Japanese agents bowed their heads to the promise, and then, under the leadership of the felt hat, walked into the alley and quickly approached the Fifth War Zone Command.

The night is surprisingly quiet!

This made the Japanese agents feel a little uneasy.

However, seeing that the Fifth War Zone Command was right in front of me, for the sake of the immortal war, the excitement in the heart of the Japanese leader overcame the uneasy, and he made a decision and issued an order to attack.

"The time has come for the warriors of the empire to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Surrender with me and capture Li Delin, the commander of the Fifth War Zone of the Chinese Army, alive!"

"Kill the chicken!"

"Kill the chicken and give it to you!"

The order was issued, and more than 50 Japanese agents dressed in black crawled out of the alley and launched a sudden attack on the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone Chief!

"Da da da da!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"——"

A burst of gunfire sounded, and the two guards standing guard at the door immediately fell down.

The leader of the Japanese agent led his troops to rush over and saw that the two dummies fell down. His face changed suddenly: "No! We're trapped!"

After saying that, the leader of the Japanese agent wanted to turn around and lead his troops to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, several flares suddenly dragged the eye-catching tail flames into the air.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"——"

The flares exploded in the air, like gorgeous fireworks, illuminating half of the sky like day.

In a daze, a group of Japanese agents saw that at some point a light and heavy machine gun had already been set up on the roofs of the surrounding houses and the courtyard walls of the Fifth War Zone Command.

At this time, these Japanese agents still didn't understand what was going on.

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"——"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"——"

The next moment, the machine gun fired, and suddenly shot out a large number of dense hot bullets, pouring down the Japanese agents who were at the commander's office without any danger.

"Uh!"

"Ahhhhh!"
