    Xia Yang said: "What I mean is to form another encirclement outside the encirclement, and then open an opening on the inner encirclement to allow some Japanese troops to enter another encirclement. This can dismember the Japanese army's strength and let  They're stuck fighting on their own."

    Commander-in-Chief Li actually knew in his heart that if he wanted to completely eat these Japanese troops, he would use conventional means. Because of the gap in weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers, even if they really killed these Japanese troops, they would still have to pay the same amount of casualties.  , even more casualties than the Japanese army.

    "I understand what you mean, Brigadier Xia." Commander Li said.

    Xia Yang nodded, and then said: "I just gave an idea. The specific tactics and strategies depend on the generals and the staff."

    After saying that, Xia Yang stepped back.

    He didn¡¯t stay here for too long before he returned to the position of the Fourth Brigade.

    At this time, the fighting took a break, and the besieged Japanese position was surprisingly quiet.

    Xia Yang walked to the front line, looked ahead with a telescope, and then said: "How is it? How much ammunition do you have left?"

    General Dai said: "We organized more than ten charges in a row, but each charge was a feint attack to lure them into shooting. From just now, the kid's heavy machine gun stopped firing. I think the heavy machine gun has run out of bullets.  ¡±

    The ammunition carried by the Japanese army was not particularly large, but the logistical supplies were quite powerful.  At this time, the Japanese army lost its logistical supplies. After two consecutive days of high-intensity fighting, the ammunition had been exhausted.

    "When the little devils are cornered, they will usually charge." Xia Yang said to General Dai next to him, "We have seen that group of little devils charging over like crazy, regardless of the battle formation, like wild beasts  .¡±

    As a result, as soon as Xia Yang finished speaking, he heard a burst of shouting from the other side.

    "Onboard!!! Onboard!!!"

    "Ah ha, are you really here to charge in the Long Live Charge?" General Dai said, then picked up the telescope and looked over there.

    Sure enough, the Japanese army went crazy and started to charge towards their positions with Sanba Gai in hand.

    ??

    After saying that, he looked at the Gatling gunner next to him and said: "Don't save bullets for a while, beat these little devils to death!"

    The machine gunner smiled and said: "Just take a look, Brigade!"

    The other soldiers on the position are also ready to fight.  As long as the little devil comes within shooting range, they will shoot directly.

    With the order, gunshots rang out on the battlefield.

    Xia Yang no longer looked at the one-sided killing behind him. He had seen too many similar scenes.

    In the next few days, the main force of the national army began to divide and surround the Japanese army according to the plan proposed by Xia Yang.

    The Japanese army was eager to break out, but they were fooled and entered another encirclement.

    During the five-day battle, this Japanese army fought tooth and nail to break through to the northeast.  In order to cooperate with the 10th Division's breakout operation, the Japanese army also dispatched nearly a hundred aircraft to bomb the national army positions day and night.

    On the sixth day, the Chinese army¡¯s encirclement was finally blown open by the Japanese artillery and aircraft.

    Taking advantage of this opening, the remaining Japanese troops began to break out to the northeast and fled southward along Jinpu Road.

    But by this time, the Japanese Tenth Division had already been completely crippled.  Of the original team of nearly 50,000 people, less than 30,000 successfully broke through.

    In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army lost more than 20,000 soldiers, and this battle ended with the final victory of the Chinese army.  It can be said to be a great morale booster.

    The Battle of Taierzhuang ended in late April.

    The hundreds of thousands of troops who participated in the battle all made gains.

    The most important contribution was made by the 31st Division of the National Revolutionary Army stationed in Taierzhuang. They held off the fierce Japanese attack for a full week and bought enough time for the troops in the rear to surround the Japanese army.

    Secondly, the 20th Army and the 59th Army of the National Revolutionary Army also played a mainstay role.

    In addition, the most impressive unit is Xia Yang's fourth brigade.

    This force, facingWhen overwhelming the Japanese army, they often inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army with their strange combat methods and various unexpected strategies and tactics.

    If we only calculate from the exchange ratio, the Japs often need to sacrifice two to three Japanese soldiers to replace one soldier of Xia Yang's Fourth Brigade.

    This can almost be called a miracle on the anti-Japanese battlefield at that time.  Because on the anti-Japanese battlefield at that time, not to mention one national army for two or three Japanese troops, even if we could fight two or three national troops for one Japanese army, it could be regarded as a very good exchange ratio.

    And such an exchange ratio can often only be achieved by the elite troops of the national army.

    But Xia Yang¡¯s little-known Fourth Brigade has accomplished such an achievement.  It can be described as a sudden rise to fame.

    After the battle in the southern part of Yicheng ended, Xia Yang received an order from Commander-in-Chief Li to let the four brigades that had been fighting continuously retreat to the rear to rest temporarily.

    Xia Yang was very happy about this order.

    It¡¯s not because he doesn¡¯t want to stay in the Xuzhou area to fight against the Japs, but because the telegram Commander-in-Chief Li gave him contained not only a transfer order, but also a letter of appointment.

    "Your department took a train and entered the western Henan region to renovate the troops. At the same time, Jiyuan, Xin'an, Shengchi, Sanmenxia, ??Yima and other counties and cities in the western Henan region are under the jurisdiction of your department. All military and political affairs within the territory are subject to the top commander of the Fourth Brigade.  Arrangements. At the same time, the three security regiments of the local garrison are all organized into the four brigades."

    Looking at the telegram and the letter of appointment, Xia Yang could not calm down for a long time.

    He couldn¡¯t even help but shout at this time, Commander-in-Chief Li is really a real person!

    Thinking about Chairman Chiang again, he was rewarded all day long, and Commander-in-Chief Li came so happily that he directly gave Xia Yang three security groups, plus the jurisdiction of several counties and cities.

    Xia Yang had a premonition that his ambitions would soon be realized in the western Henan region.

    ¡°Whether it¡¯s recruiting troops, building various factories, or even military factories, he has the conditions and soil to achieve it.

    The staff officer of the headquarters who came to deliver the letter of appointment said: "By the way, Brigadier Xia, Commander-in-Chief Li also asked me to tell you something."

    "What happened?" Xia Yang asked.

    The staff officer said: "Commander-in-Chief Li said that you have made great achievements in combat and have annihilated as many as 4,000 to 5,000 Japanese troops. At that time, you will report to the Chairman of the Standing Committee and promote you to the rank of Major General and Division Commander." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
