    Chapter 158: Japanese reinforcements arrive (Please read the new book)

    "Boom boom boom"

    The battle continues, both sides are persisting!

    In fact, both Zhang Tengjiao and Takeda Shinichi are very clear about their missions. On the one hand, they are eager to encircle and annihilate the Chinese army that may have completely collapsed in front of them. They are even more eager to defeat the defenders in front of them and capture Li Guoyao alive.

    The other side was ordered to stop the Japanese pursuers. Since there were tens of thousands of troops in front of them plus some civilians who had no time to evacuate, Li Guoyao gave Zhang Tengjiao and others a death order. Even if only the last person was killed, China's blue sky and white sun flag would also be destroyed.  It must be flying on the battlefield.

    Therefore, both sides received death orders. Spears and shields started a desperate battle in a palm-sized area of ????Yanshan, tit for tat, and no one had a chance to retreat.

    Compared with the Japanese army, Zhang Tengjiao's troops were in the right place at the right time and had a certain advantage in firepower. However, they lacked strong support from artillery. The entire regiment only had 4 small-caliber mortars and more than a dozen grenades, which was not enough.  The little devil stuffed his teeth.

    On the other hand, the artillery of the Little Devils is awesome. As the most elite infantry regiment of the Sixth Division, Takeda's headquarters has an artillery brigade to coordinate operations. The more than ten 75mm mountain cannons are far inferior to the few of Li Guoyao's troops.  Small caliber artillery can not be compared.

    Because the Japanese army¡¯s artillery was so powerful, after the battle began, Zhang Tengjiao wisely ordered the only mortars under his command to be concealed and on standby. The target must not be exposed without orders.

    After all, the Japanese artillery will be destroyed by the opponent in a short time once the target is exposed!

    Although the overall strength of the Japanese army is better than that of Zhang Tengjiao and others, Zhang Tengjiao is not in a hurry now, because their task is not to destroy many enemies, but to intercept and pursue them. They only need to stop the little Japs at the foot of Yanshan Mountain.

    Although the two attacks by the Japanese army caused a lot of casualties to Zhang Tengjiao's troops, seeing the Japanese corpses littering the field in front of the position, it was visually estimated that the number of casualties would definitely not be less than 500. If the injured soldiers were included, the casualties should be in  Between seven and eight hundred people, this result is still acceptable.

    Zhang Tengjiao was from the Northeast Army and had dealt with the Japanese army more than once or twice. He knew very well how astonishing this ratio was.  You must know that in previous battles with the Japanese army, if the opponent's strength exceeded one brigade, they usually had to dispatch a brigade, which was basically five times the strength of the Japanese army, and they often fought in a very embarrassing manner.

    How could it be that now three regiments actually blocked a Japanese regiment, and the fight was relatively easy, which made Zhang Tengjiao even more impressed by Li Guoyao's command level.

    Like almost all Northeastern officers and soldiers, Zhang Tengjiao has also felt deeply humiliated over the years!  Thinking of the 300,000 Northeastern Army who hurriedly withdrew to the pass after receiving an order from their superiors six years ago, handing over three thousand miles of beautiful mountains and rivers to the Japanese, Zhang Tengjiao felt a burst of blood in his heart.

    Zhang Tengjiao did not think that the Northeast Army could not defeat the Japanese, and that the Northeast fell without troops and was not good at fighting. Instead, it was due to the mistakes of the Northeast Army's top brass and the Nationalist Government authorities in their judgment of the situation at that time. They pinned their hopes on the Western powers, but did not know that those guys and  The Japanese are totally the same.

    After entering the customs, all the Northeastern troops wanted to fight back to their hometown in Northeast China. Even the young marshal thought so. So when the Japanese army attacked Rehe in 1934, the young marshal personally went into battle to supervise the battle, hoping to stop the Japanese army and save the country.  Rehe, the result was a complete failure.

    After that, the Northeastern Army went through a series of changes, and was eventually dismembered by the Nationalist Government into several armies that were not affiliated with each other, and then divided and used.

    Zhang Tengjiao was actually completely disappointed about returning to his hometown. However, Li Guoyao's sudden appearance gave him hope. In addition, Li Guoyao saved his life in Songjiang City, so Zhang Tengjiao unconditionally carried out Li Guoyao's orders, even if he knew  The Japanese army on the opposite side was powerful, and even more powerful Japanese troops would arrive later, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted.

    Speaking of Colonel Takeda Shin, he watched the battle just now from beginning to end. To be honest, the imperial army on the front line fought very bravely, but the performance of the Chinese army was even more amazing.

    Looking at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the frontline, Takeda Shinichi shuddered. He had been in the army for so many years and had lost big battles before, but this was the first time he had encountered such a tragic battle like today.

    What¡¯s more important is that this was only an hour before the war started, but after just two charges, the casualties of the troops exceeded his expectations.  Takeda Shinichi suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart. Today might be another fierce battle.

    "Yamazaki-kun, how are the casualties of the troops?"

      Chief of Staff Major Yamazaki said immediately: "Sir, the Second Battalion has 249 killed and 334 wounded. More than half of the casualties have been lost!"

    "Baga, order the troops to continue the attack. We don't have much time left. If we can't defeat the army on the opposite side before the main force arrives, the credit for annihilating the independent brigade and capturing Li Guoyao alive may not be ours!  "

    "Hai!"

    ?¡­

    Following Takeda Shinichi¡¯s order, the Japanese army¡¯s third attack soon began. This time the little devils invested two brigades of troops on the frontal battlefield at once!

    Although they fought bravely, they still could not hold out for long in front of Li Guoyao's well-prepared blocking position. An hour later, the 47th Wing suffered more than half of its casualties and stopped the attack.

    But before Zhang Tengjiao and the others could take a breath, they saw a large number of Japs coming from a distance. It was the Japanese reinforcements that were coming!

    Unlike the previous strength of a mere regiment, the Japanese army at the foot of Yanshan Mountain now formed two huge military groups, which should be two infantry divisions in terms of size.

    After the Japanese reinforcements arrived, they immediately launched an attack on the Yanshan position from three directions. The number of troops directly used for the attack reached two regiments, and there were also two regiments of artillery to coordinate operations.

    "Boom boom boom"

    In order to defeat the Chinese defenders as quickly as possible, the Japanese army launched nearly 70 artillery pieces of various calibers to attack the defenders' positions!

    Under the powerful artillery attack of the Japanese army, the artillery shells fell like free money, and all the facilities on the defender's position were destroyed in a very short period of time.

    What¡¯s even more terrifying is that because the Japanese artillery fire was so fierce, the anti-gun holes dug by the defenders collapsed one after another. Many soldiers were buried alive in an instant, and the defenders suffered heavy losses.

    In desperation, Zhang Tengjiao had no choice but to withdraw all the soldiers in the artillery hole and fight against the Japanese steel artillery shells with their flesh and blood.

    This time the Japanese artillery bombardment lasted for 30 minutes, and no less than ten tons of ammunition were tilted on the defender's position. It was a crazy attack!

    As soon as the shelling ended, the Japanese army launched a charge against the defenders' positions!

    Zhang Tengjiao and others realized that the front-line troops had suffered heavy casualties, and immediately ordered the second battalion on standby to immediately enter the front-line position for reinforcements, and the two sides immediately started a bloody battle again.

    Li Guoyao is always paying attention to the battle situation on the front line. Judging from the current situation, the situation is very serious for them.

    The little devils deployed two divisions in front of Yanshan. Although the Japanese army also suffered heavy losses in the past few days, the two first-class divisions still have a strong strength of no less than 38,000 people.

    The most important thing is that the Little Japs not only have powerful artillery, but also a large number of tanks. If he had not laid out a large number of mines in front of the position just now, the Little Japs would probably have attacked with the help of tanks.

    In less than three hours since the war started, one battalion of the defenders on the frontal position had been wiped out. Counting the left and right wings, the number of soldiers lost must have exceeded 1,500, which is almost equivalent to one-sixth of the first-line position.  troops.

    You have to know that this is just the beginning, I really don¡¯t know how long he can last with this little force in his hands!

    Of course, the little Japs attacking in front were also uncomfortable. Despite their fierce firepower, they were feint attacks on the terrain, which was very unfavorable. Therefore, they suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle.

    And four consecutive attacks were defeated by the Chinese defenders. This made Hisao Tani, who was in charge of the front-line command, and Yoshizumi Ryosuke, the commander of the 9th Division, very angry, but there was nothing they could do!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
