Chapter 255: Abandoned Shouxian County
Suxian, the position outside the county town. After some preparation, the 20th Japanese Division finally launched an attack on the ** position in Suxian. Liang Haoyao and Chifengcheng commanded the troops to resist desperately, while quietly evacuating the people in the city and some non-combat unit personnel such as communications.
Although the two artillery corps of the 20th Division were previously air strikes by dozens of fighter jets from the First Battalion of the Tiger Army Flight Regiment, their combat power still exists. The 77th and 78th main corps of the 20th Division once again launched a fierce attack on the Tiger Army under the cover of their division-direct artillery units and the artillery corps directly under the brigade.
Under the angry Niudao Shichang's strict order, Changdeng Lixing and Kobayashi Heung's troops almost all out. Nearly 5,000 Japanese troops lined up with huge scattered lines to charge towards the Hu Ben Army's positions. Facing the tide of the Japanese, Liang Haoyao and Chi Fengcheng put the last infantry battalion in their hands into battle. For a moment, the sound of killing outside Su County was shocking, and the sound of gunfire and fighting was boiling.
The Japanese attack lasted for a long time. Since the Japanese army launched the attack, the two sides have been fighting for more than two hours. Outside Suxian, corpses piled up into mountains and blood flowed into rivers.
At the top of the north gate of Su County, Liang Haoyao, chief of staff of the Fifth Division, and Chi Fengcheng, commander of the 31st Division, stood side by side. Around the surroundings, several guards stood by with guns and live ammunition, looking at the noisy battlefield outside the city, Chi Fengcheng and Liang Haoyao both had solemn faces, Chi Fengcheng was better, after all, he led his troops to fight the more difficult Taierzhuang defense battle than this.
What made them solemn was not only the growing number of casualties on their own side, but the performance of the Japanese army. Under the threat of the dense firepower network of the Hu Ben Army, thousands of Japanese soldiers were fearless and rushed forward and risked their lives to charge. The ones in front fell down, and the ones behind stepped on the bodies of their companions to continue charging. This spirit of charging to death as if they were home and death was enough to make their opponents respectfully.
It has to be admitted that the Japanese invaders at this time had extremely strong combat awareness. Almost all of these Japanese soldiers who were brainwashed by the Bushido spirit fought against the Chinese team with the determination to fight to the end.
It can be found from the official historical materials that in the past few years when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Chinese team fought hundreds of battles with the Japanese invaders in China, but failed to capture a Japanese soldier. Even if the Japanese soldiers were seriously injured in the battle, they would commit suicide before being captured. This shows how deeply the Bushido spirit controls them.
On the other hand, the middle-aged and middle-aged people of the same period were certainly loyal, brave and patriotic, and not afraid of life and death, but also greedy and fear of death. When most of North China fell, hundreds of thousands of people were successively established and treasoned and surrendered to the enemy. After the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government, the number of people who treasoned and surrendered was as high as millions. This is the difference between an army without faith and an army with faith.
In layman's terms, it is a military force. Today, the Chinese team has many factions and conflicts. Most of the soldiers are farmers who cannot read big words. After hundreds of years of enslavement in the Qing Dynasty, most of them lack blood and even more firm belief in fighting for it.
Since its establishment, the Hu Ben Army has had some kind of military experience and infusion from Qiao Anbang. Their army is Qiao Anbang, and their belief in victory also comes from Qiao Anbang. However, the Fifth Division belongs to the newly formed unit, which obviously has not met that standard. However, they also have the idea of supporting them to continue fighting, that is, to defend their hometown, because most of them are soldiers from northern Anhui, and behind them are their hometown, parents, wives and children, brothers, and sisters.
"Brother, the time is almost over, I think it's time to retreat." Chi Fengcheng put down the telescope in his hand and said in a deep voice.
Liang Hao nodded solemnly and said: After this, he turned to the guard behind him and said: "Give power to the flight regiment immediately, request air support, and cover our troops' retreat!"
"Yes!" The guard responded with a bang, turned around and ran down the city to run towards the regiment headquarters.
…………………………
At Longshan Airport and on the apron, a large group of ground crews were busy refueling the fighter jets to replenish bombs. Since the two major Japanese fronts approached northern Anhui, the fighter jets of the Tiger Army Flight Regiment have begun to be busy.
Not only were they ordered to bomb the logistics supply lines of the Japanese divisions in Central China, but they also had to take into account the northern battlefield and provide air support to the ground troops at any time. During the day, all fighters were busy. Except for returning to the base to replenish fuel and ammunition, pilots and fighters were basically flying and fighting during the rest of the time.
Soon, after the ground crew completed the replenishment of all the fighter jets on this expedition, they began to drive the replenishment truck jeep off the apron.
The bombers of dozens of fighter jets on the apron began to start one after another, and the propeller on the nose of the bf109 fighter jet began to rotate from slow to fast. Then, the first fighter jet drove out of the apron and ran away along the airport runway. When the speed was enough to get rid of the ground constraints, the bf109 fighter jet finally soared into the sky and flew into the blue sky.
Then there was the second and third ones. After the last fighter was launched, dozens of fighter jets protected more than ten bombers in the middle and flew towards Suxian.
The straight-line distance of Longshan military camp is only more than 70 kilometers from Suxian. At the speed of a bf109 fighter, it arrived over Suxian in more than ten minutes. After contacting the Suxian defenders via radio, dozens of fighter jets roared and dived towards the Japanese army that was attacking on the ground, while the bombers flew towards the rear of the Japanese army. Their targets were the Japanese artillery that could not be completely eliminated in the last bombing, as well as some Japanese commands and follow-up troops.
On the top of the city, looking at the group of fighter jets whizzing past the sky above his head, Liang Haoyao immediately turned to Chi Fengcheng and said, "Brother, let's retreat."
"Yeah!" Chi Fengcheng nodded silently, and then the two of them took the guards and walked down the city and got on a military jeep that had been waiting for a long time in the city. After the two got on the car, the jeep started and rushed towards the south of the city.
"Teleman, send me the order, the whole regiment retreat!" On the outer position, the regiment commander Tian Jin looked at his own fighter planes that were strafing and bombing the Japanese ground forces in the air, and ordered with a solemn expression.
"Yes!" A soldier responded with a loud bang, and then began to quickly convey the order.
After being attacked by the fierce air firepower of the Tiger Army, the attack, which was already at the end of its strength, was once again declared defeated, and thousands of Japanese troops retreated to their attack positions like a tide.
In order to cover the retreat of the ground troops, the pilots of the flight regiment were willing to spend all their money to dive and shoot and bomb the Japanese positions. Therefore, when the Hu Ben Army retreated quietly, the Japanese generals in panic failed to discover and send troops to pursue them in time.
Nearly half an hour later, the fleet of the Flight Regiment stopped strafing and bombing due to fuel problems and began to turn around and return.
On the Japanese position that was blown up to smoke, Changdeng Lixing, the 77th Infantry Regiment commander, came out of an air defense bunker with dust on his face. This air defense bunker was rushing to dig in a hurry by his subordinates. After being bombed, the soil and dust fell. After the flight regiment fighter jets returned, Changdeng Lixing and several of his subordinates were already unkempt.
After leaving the bunker, Changdeng Lixing slapped the soil on his body repeatedly. The adjutant beside him didn't care about him and followed BanDeng Lixing to clean up the soil and dust.
"Bagaya Road, a hateful Chinese fighter!" Changdeng Lixing looked up at the sky filled with smoke, and cursed with hatred.
After a brief cleanup, Changdeng Carp Store immediately raised the telescope hanging in front of Xiong, but it was dark and there was nothing to see.
Chang Dengli Xing held the telescope in his hand and looked it over and over again. He found that the mirror of his telescope was covered with dust. Before he could get angry, the quick-witted adjutant next to him stepped forward and wiped the telescope with his sleeve.
Changdeng Lixing rested his anger for a moment, raised his telescope again and looked at the opposite position. After looking through the telescope for a long time, Changdeng Lixing was surprised to find that there was no movement in the opposite position.
Changdeng Lixing adjusted the multiples of the telescope, looked for a while, but still couldn't find any abnormalities. The entire ** position was as quiet as death, and there was no one in his figure.
With full of suspicion, Changdenglixing immediately turned his head to the adjutant behind him and said, "Order the First Battalion to send an infantry team to immediately test the attack on the Chinese military positions!"
"Hayi!" the adjutant suddenly lowered his head and responded, then turned around and left quickly.
Soon, a small team of Japanese troops rushed out of the trench with rifles and rushed towards the trench 100 meters away. Changdeng Lixing held a telescope in his own trench and observed the situation of the reconnaissance team intently. Until the reconnaissance team approached the opposite Chinese team less than 100 meters, the opposite position was still unresponsive.
"Baga, have the Chinese people retreated?" Changdeng Lixing suddenly realized.
Finally, as the reconnaissance infantry team confirmed the Changdeng Lixing's conjecture, dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed into the ** position without any resistance.
"Children Colonel, what should we do?" The adjutant asked immediately when he saw that his troops had rushed into the position of Zhongzhao.
Without thinking too much, Changdengli Business immediately pulled out his command knife: "Order the troops to attack and capture Su County. At the same time, report this situation to the division commander!"
"Hayi!" The adjutant lowered his head again and responded, then left excitedly with a saber on his shoulder.
Chapter completed!
