    Part of the Japanese reinforcements have gone south to reinforce Taierzhuang, and the enemies in the village have launched a fierce attack in an attempt to capture this strategic location with internal and external cooperation, which has put tremendous pressure on the fifth theater.

    In view of this, the 5th Theater Command ordered Tang Enbo's 20th Army to march south on the evening of March 29, and cooperated with Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Army to encircle and annihilate the enemies in and near Taierzhuang.

    Tang Enbo did not dare to neglect, and immediately commanded the troops to move south to Taierzhuang. At the same time, Tian Zhennan's 30th Army coordinated with Huang Qiaosong's 27th Division in the northeast of Taierzhuang to attack Liujia Lake north of Taierzhuang.

    The 52nd Army captured Lanchengdian and Sanfo Tower at noon, and one unit also captured Shuihu and Wangzhuang in the southeast of Yixian County; the 89th Division of Zhang Xuezhong of the 85th Army attacked from Jiushan and Shuangshan east of Yixian County.  Yi County.

    Although it was already known that the Chinese army was encircling Taierzhuang from all sides, the Japanese army still had no intention of retreating. Instead, it became more violent. From the 30th to the 31st, the Japanese 63rd Regiment launched ten crazy attacks in Taierzhuang.  Several large-scale attacks were launched, but there was still no progress despite the tenacious counterattacks of the defenders.

    The Japanese military command also realized that the troops in Taierzhuang were still too weak, and immediately decided to strengthen the offensive forces in the Taierzhuang area. The 10th Division then decided to transfer the 1st Brigade of the 39th Regiment, which was stationed in Jining's marsh fields with abundant crops, under the command of the captain of the 10th Regiment.

    At the same time, the Japanese military command also ordered the Japanese troops in Linyi to speed up their march and must arrive at Taierzhuang before April 1.

    However, what the Japanese command headquarters did not expect was that the enemy's Sakamoto Shun Brigade and its attached artillery and tank units, which were reinforcements from Linyi to the west, were attacked by Chen Daqing's 4th Division of the National Army as soon as they arrived at Zuozigou south of Xiangcheng.  check.

    Based on this situation, Tang Enbo decided to first encircle and annihilate the enemy troops from Linyi to Xiangcheng and Aiqu after discussing with the Fifth Theater Command.  After obtaining the consent of the Fifth Theater Command, Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army immediately continued to monitor the Japanese troops north of Taierzhuang, while the main force moved toward Xiangcheng and Aiqu in the northeast to encircle and annihilate the Sakamoto brigade in the area.

    At the same time, Wang Zhonglian¡¯s 85th Army marched eastward from the areas near Yixian and Zaozhuang to Lanling Town and Hengshan Town to prevent the Japanese troops in the direction of Zuizigou and Aiqu from advancing towards Taierzhuang and cover the left side of the 52nd Army.

    At this time, the war situation in the south of Shandong is constantly expanding. The two sides have invested more than 200,000 troops in southern Shandong, and more troops are gathering in southern Shandong.

    In order to strengthen the command strength of the Shandong Army, the commander of the Japanese Second Army Nishio Hisao immediately ordered the commander of the enemy's 5th Division Seishiro Itagaki to rush to the Linyi front line to command the operation. Itagaki immediately arrived at Tangtou Town.

    Starting from April 1, the battle situation at the front changed slightly. The Japanese offensive in Taierzhuang still made no progress due to the tenacious resistance of the 31st Division. Based on the obstruction of the attack in the past two days, Furong Zhenhei decided to leave only one unit in Taierzhuang.  In the northwest corner, the rest retreated to the east of Taierzhuang at night to concentrate the offensive forces.

    The reinforced 21st Brigade of Sakamoto Jun arrived at Lanling Town, about 25 kilometers northeast of Taierzhuang, after fierce battles with Chen Daqing's 4th Division in the Aiqu and Qiuhu areas.

    Since the enemy's reinforcements from Linyi were approaching Taierzhuang, Sun Lianzhong immediately decided to concentrate his forces to annihilate the enemy troops in Taierzhuang.

    That is, the 31st Division coordinated with the 27th Division and the 30th Division to attack the village and counterattack.  The 27th Division, located east of Taierzhuang, organized a brave team of about 250 people to clear the way, broke into the village from the northeast corner at night, and then split up to annihilate the enemy to expand the results; the 30th Division, located to the west of Taierzhuang, broke into the village from the northwest corner to  Destroy the enemies in this area.

    At night, the three divisions acted simultaneously. The 31st Division first launched a counterattack in the village, and then the 27th Division broke into the village from the northeast corner and occupied several bunkers north of the east gate; the 30th Division broke into the village from the northwest corner, and fought with the 31st Division inside and outside the village.  pincer attack.

    After suffering heavy casualties, the enemy began to huddle and defend.

    On April 2, the Japanese 63rd Regiment¡¯s offensive in Taierzhuang still made no progress.  The enemy's 10th Regiment near Zhangshan has arrived in the area east of Taierzhuang. In order to support the attack of its 63rd Regiment in Taierzhuang, it launched continuous attacks with more than 40 artillery pieces, nearly 40 tanks and infantry in an attempt to destroy the defense at Taierzhuang.  The defensive positions of General Huang Qiaosong's 27th Division and General Chi Fengcheng's 31st Division in the eastern suburbs.

    At this time, the commander of the Fifth War Zone had seen from an overall perspective that the main force of the Japanese army was scattered on the Lunan battlefield and had suffered heavy casualties. Not only was the offensive force severely insufficient, but the defense forces in various places also had frequent loopholes. The fighter planes that surrounded and annihilated the enemies near Taierzhuang had already  Mature, he decided to launch a campaign and encirclement against the enemies in Taierzhuang.

    The Fifth Theater Command issued six orders one after another that day, ordering Sun Lianzhong's 2nd Group Army to encircle and annihilate Taierzhuang and nearby enemies, and to recruit Li Zhaoying's 139th Division, which had just been transferred from the 1st Theater, and Zhou Qi's 75th Army, which had been transferred from Dangshan.  6th and 13th Divisions, 4th Artillery Regiment?Deployed in the Chahe Town area, about 15 kilometers east of Taierzhuang.

    At the same time, he ordered the 52nd Army of Guan Linzheng of the 20th Army and the 85th Army of Wang Zhonglian to detour from Lanling Town to the Taierzhuang area, coordinate with the 2nd Group Army, and counterattack across the board to eliminate the enemies of Taierzhuang.

    Subsequently, the Fifth Theater Command ordered the Wang Zhaozhi 333rd Brigade of the 111th Division of the 57th Army transferred from Linyi area to Nanqiao, south of Cangshan County, under the command of Tang Enbo.

    In addition, the theater headquarters also ordered the 110th Division to cross from the Wannian Gate west of Taierzhuang to the north of the canal and launch a feint attack on the enemy's right side. The division's original river defense task was assigned to the 22nd Group Army.

    ¡°Even in order to achieve the strategic goal of encircling and annihilating the Japanese army, the theater headquarters also ordered part of the 3rd Group Army commanded by Cao Fulin to quickly move south to encircle the enemies in Zaozhuang and Lincheng.

    The Chinese army has strategically made preparations to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Taierzhuang, and is closing the net. This also forces the Japanese army to make a choice between continuing to attack Taierzhuang and withdrawing its troops.

    "If the Japanese army withdraws at this time, the encirclement circle in the fifth theater has not yet been encircled, and the troops are still being mobilized. The possibility of a successful breakthrough by the Japanese army is above eight levels.

    But it is a pity that the Japanese army, including the commander of the Second Army Nishio Hisao and several commanders of the frontline command operations, believed that the Chinese army did not have the ability to encircle and annihilate them, and the defenders in Taierzhuang had already been wiped out.  The Japanese army had even occupied three-quarters of the territory in Zhuangzi, and victory was in sight, so almost everyone did not want to retreat.

    Although they did not retreat, it was not that they did not see the threat. They just felt that the Chinese army in Lunan battlefield was not enough to completely annihilate them. However, this still made the Japanese army in Lunan feel a little pressure.

    So the Second Army Headquarters called the North China Front Army Headquarters, requesting the Front Army Headquarters to immediately communicate with the Central China Front Army, so that the troops on the Bengbu front line could speed up their march, move north to Xuzhou as soon as possible, and flank the Chinese army in the direction of Xuzhou, so as to reduce the risk of the Second Army's  The pressure from the army in Lunan.

    Originally, the capture of Lunan and the attack on Xuzhou were the common strategic tasks of the two front armies, but now the Second Army is fighting alone against China's Fifth Theater. Compared with the powerful strength of more than forty divisions and brigades in the Fifth Theater,  , the 60,000 to 70,000 people in the Second Military Region were really not enough, so that the troops fought very hard in southern Shandong.

    If the troops of the Central China Front Army can move north to Xuzhou, this will inevitably greatly restrict the strength of the Fifth Theater Zone. In this way, the Fifth Theater Zone's strategic plan to encircle Taierzhuang will be completely aborted.

    After receiving the report from the Japanese troops on the front line, Juichi Terauchi, the commander of the North China Front Army, felt that it was very reasonable. He immediately contacted the commander of the Central China Front Army Yan Shunroku, explained the reason, and asked him to ensure that the front line troops arrived in Xuzhou as soon as possible.

    Yan Junliu had actually been paying attention to the fighting on the front line in Bengbu, and he also knew that the attacks of the 9th Division and the 13th Division were not going well. Although the frontline troops did not report specific casualties to the front army headquarters, the constant flow of aviation troops  When calling for help, it can be seen that the troops on the front line have encountered a strong enemy.

    To be honest, Yan Junliu really admired Li Guoyao as a magical opponent at this time. Before, he had always thought that Li Guoyao was just a lucky guy with some courage. The reason why he was able to achieve such a big name was mainly because his opponent was too  Overestimating the enemy's carelessness.

    But now the Bengbu front line has not only gathered the powerful forces of two field divisions and a mixed brigade, but also gathered senior commanders such as Yoshizumi Ryosuke, Tanaka Shizuichi and Shigeto Chiaki. Li Guoyao's troops can still deal with it calmly.  Obviously it cannot be explained by a simple sentence of luck.

    However, the fact that Li Guoyao's division is just a miscellaneous division cannot be changed. Two infantry divisions of the Empire of Japan plus a mixed brigade cannot be resisted by a mere temporary seventh division. Therefore, Yan Junliu personally gave  The Japanese troops on the Bengbu front line sent a telegram of rebuke.

    This telegram not only expressed dissatisfaction with the previous progress, but more importantly, strictly ordered them to strengthen their offensive and must capture Bengbu City within three days!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
