Guandi Temple in the center of Taierzhuang on March 22, the 28th year of the Republic of China
Chi Fengcheng, commander of the 31st Division, was standing in front of the Guandi Temple with a smile on his face, looking at the boxes of brand-new K98 Mauser rifles wrapped in straw pads in front of him, and a row of brand-new Marks placed on the ground.
Qin machine guns and twenty mortars, with a smile on his face.
Sun Lianzhong on the side proudly said to Chi Fengcheng: "Fengchen, this time I went out of my way to help you get these good things, and gave you more than half of the 31st Division in one go.
, you have to give me a good fight in Taierzhuang, if you don’t do well, I will ask you alone."
Chi Chengfeng, the commander of the 31st Division who is nearly thirty-four years old this year, is not tall, has a round face, and bright eyes. He patted his chest and said: "Sir, don't worry, you can give us thirty this time."
The First Division has obtained so many good things, if you still can't make a profit, you can shoot me later."
"Why should I shoot you?" Sun Lianzhong couldn't help laughing and scolding. After thinking for a while, he said: "This time the 30,000 Japanese troops from the Isogaya Division are coming fiercely. They are bound to capture Taierzhuang, so your burden is by no means light, so no matter what
No matter what happens, you will be nailed to Taierzhuang, do you understand?"
Chi Fengcheng saluted loudly and said loudly: "Sir, don't worry, I will nail Taierzhuang firmly like a nail and turn Taierzhuang into a Japanese tomb!"
"Well!"
Sun Lianzhong nodded and said: "Also, these good things for us this time were given by the Three Hundred Brigade. They gave us such a big gift. The favor we owe this time is huge.
, if there is a chance in the future, we have to return this favor. We can’t let others say that our people from the Northwest Army are ungrateful, do you understand?”
"Yes, sir, I understand!" Chi Chengfeng nodded. He also knew that the favor owed by the Second Army was huge this time, including two thousand Mauser K98 rifles, fifty Maxim heavy machine guns and three
Ten mortars and so much ammunition are hard-to-buy items even with money.
After a while, Sun Lianzhong said again: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that if the war gets serious, you can still call for artillery support. Chief Li has established a new heavy artillery regiment. If you need it, you can call for artillery fire."
"Heavy artillery regiment?" Chi Chengfeng was surprised, "When did our theater also have a heavy artillery regiment?"
Sun Lianzhong said proudly: "Not only is it a heavy artillery regiment, but it is also a heavy artillery regiment with sixteen 155-caliber howitzers. This is enough to feed the little Japan."
"hiss……"
Sun Lianzhong took a breath of cold air. The Northwest Army has always had a hard life. He has been a soldier for so many years. He has never seen a 120-caliber artillery, let alone a 155-caliber heavy artillery.
"Sir, where did Chief Li get so many heavy artillery pieces?"
Sun Lianzhong looked around and said softly: "Who else could it be? It's that Su Rui from the 300 Brigade who sold it to Chief Li."
"What?"
Chi Fengcheng was not only surprised this time, he was simply shocked. It’s okay to be able to get so many machine guns, rifles and mortars, but now he can even get such large-caliber heavy artillery. What a huge capability this has.
ah!
Seeing Chi Chengfeng's shocked expression, Sun Lianzhong nodded and said softly: "Now you know why even Chief Li looked at him so highly."
Just when the two of them finished speaking and Sun Lianzhong was about to leave, a rapid ringing of the phone came from the Guandi Temple.
A staff officer picked up the phone: "Hello...this is the 31st Division. Please tell me if you have anything to say!"
"The 31st Division? I am the combat duty room of the theater headquarters. Just now, news came from the front that Fengxian County has been lost... I repeat, Fengxian County has been lost, and the leading troops of the Japanese army have moved towards Taierzhuang.
We are expected to arrive at Taierzhuang tonight, and I hope you will be ready to engage the enemy, do you understand?"
"What! The Japanese army has already moved towards Taierzhuang and will arrive tonight? Okay, I will report to the commander immediately!"
With a "pop..." sound, the staff officer immediately put down the phone and ran to Sun Lianzhong and Chi Fengcheng. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Sun Lianzhong. Sun Lianzhong waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking, we have all heard it.
I didn’t expect the Japanese to come so quickly. I originally thought that the defenders in Feng County could resist them for three days, but I didn’t expect that they couldn’t even resist them for one day. Could it be that the Tenth Division really has three heads and six arms?”
The staff officer said sadly and angrily: "Sir, it's not that the Feng County defenders are incompetent, it's because these beasts of the Isoya Division released poisonous gas again, and the Feng County defenders... all the Feng County defenders died for their country!"
"boom……"
A loud noise came from the command room of the 300 Brigade, and then Suri's roaring voice also reached the door.
"Crazy...they are worse than animals, they must pay the price!"
Su Rui stood in the command center and was furious. His face was red with anger, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked as if he was going to choose someone to devour.
As Su Rui's roaring voice came, the entire staff of the 300 brigade stood on the spot with fear. No one dared to touch his bad luck. Even Liang Zhi, the chief of staff, did not dare to come at this time.
disturb him.
The news that the 3,000 Feng County defenders were all martyred after being attacked by the Isoya Division with poison gas quickly spread to all the troops in Xuzhou. After learning the news that all the Feng County defenders were killed by poison gas, Su Rui was so angry that he
The headquarters was furious.
Su Rui, who only felt a ball of anger burning in his chest, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said to Liang Zhi: "Zi Ran, have all the staff we lost been replenished?"
Liang Zhi nodded: "We have already replenished them, but it will take some time for the more than two thousand recruits to become combat effective. What, do you want to request a fight from the theater headquarters?"
Su Rui suppressed his anger and shook his head: "I'm not that stupid. The longer it takes now, the better it is for us."
"Then you want to..." Liang Zhi didn't understand Suri's actions.
A cold light flashed in Su Rui's eyes and he said: "It's too late to call for war now. Please notify the logistics department immediately and say it was me. Immediately send 15,000 sets of gas masks to the 31st Division. Now
The Isoya Division has gone crazy, and the theater commander has informed that their vanguard will arrive at Taierzhuang tonight. We must be careful that they repeat their old tricks and release poisonous gas to Taierzhuang again."
"yes!"
Liang Zhi also knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately grabbed the phone on the table and called the logistics department...
Looking at the sun that was about to set outside the door, Su Rui murmured: "Is it the Isoya Division? Since you like playing with poison gas so much, I will accompany you to have fun!"
To be honest, Su Rui has always been cautious about the use of poison gas bombs. After being in this time and space for so long, Su Rui has only used poison gas bombs once, and it was during the breakout of the Battle of Nanjing.
Yes, in order to survive at that time, Suri did not care much. The sarin gas released by Suri that time alone took the lives of nearly 5,000 Japanese soldiers, causing the entire Yamada detachment to be wiped out.
But since then, Suri has never used poison gas bombs again, because Suri knows that chemical warfare is a double-sided blade. While it hurts others, it will also hurt himself one day. Moreover, releasing poisonous gas on his own land
However, the poisonous gas not only kills people, it also causes huge pollution to the land, rivers and the people and animals living on this land.
Especially when releasing poisonous gas on your own land, you must be very careful. Su Rui does not want the entire land where he passes to be polluted by poisonous gas. He will not do such a thing that will harm his descendants.
In view of this, for so long, no matter how difficult the battle, Su Rui never thought of relying on the release of poison gas to win victory. But this time the Japanese army released poison gas on such a large scale and unscrupulously in Feng County.
This really pissed off Suri, so Suri decided to give the Isoya Division a good look.
But now is not a good time for revenge. No matter how angry Su Rui is, he cannot attack without authorization, otherwise the military law office in the war zone will not be a vegetarian.
Night quietly enveloped the land, and in the early morning of March 23..., the leading Japanese troops arrived outside the north gate of Taierzhuang.
The first to arrive outside the north gate of Taierzhuang was the 40th Regiment of the Isotani Division. Under the command of commander Hayato Fujimoto, they launched an attack on the north gate at dawn after resting for four or five hours.
.
At 9:33 a.m. on the 23rd, more than 2,000 Japanese troops, supported by aircraft, artillery and more than a dozen tanks, began a massive attack on Taierzhuang. The 186th Division of the 31st Division guarding the north gate of Taierzhuang
The regiment's first battalion launched a tenacious resistance under the command of commander Wang Zhen and battalion commander Jiang Changtai.
After receiving Suri's assistance, the 31st Division at this time was completely different from the time in history when it was short of guns and ammunition.
Wang Zhen's 1st Battalion of the 186th Regiment was also assigned more than a hundred new guns, ten heavy machine guns and three mortars. The 1st Battalion of the 186th Regiment, with its firepower greatly enhanced, was under the command of Battalion Commander Jiang Changtai.
guarded the north gate.
The battle lasted all day, and the Japanese army still failed to move forward even after losing more than 200 people. The battle continued until late at night. Finally, a squadron of the Japanese army broke through the Xiaobei Gate and got into a mountain called Taishan near the Xiaobei Gate.
In the temple of the temple.
Seeing the Japanese army occupying the Taishan Temple, Wang Zhen was furious. He knew very well that if he waited for dawn, the Japanese army would use the Taishan Temple as a breakthrough point to tear his entire defense line into pieces.
In desperation, Wang Zhen personally led two battalions to surround them. After a night of fighting and paying the price of more than 300 people, Wang Zhen finally annihilated all the incoming Japanese troops.
After Wang Zhen wiped out the Japanese army, it was already dark, and the follow-up troops of the Japanese Tenth Division also arrived outside Taierzhuang one after another. A more intense battle was about to begin...
