Also on this night, unlike Wei Xing's 3rd Division, which launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army, at this moment, the National Army troops in the 1st Theater Division attacking Zhengzhou were besieged in the Shangjie area.
These three divisions of the national army are the elite troops of the first theater.
If all this force is eaten by the Japanese army, then the first theater of the national army will lose its offensive capability in the Zhengzhou area.
Zhang Changshan, as the supreme commander of these three divisions, was in a house in the Shangjie area, looking at the map and frowning.
During the Japanese attack last night, all their peripheral positions had been occupied by the Japanese.
Facing the fierce Japanese offensive, these three elite national army divisions had no way to resist their advance in the dark.
At this moment, Taro Sakai began to gather all the troops in the Zhengzhou area.
It is planned to eat all three divisions of Zhang Changshan before the reinforcements of the national army arrive.
There are two national army divisions behind Zhang Changshan.
However, due to their slow action, these two national army divisions did not provide timely support to Gaoshan Town, resulting in the fall of Gaoshan Town.
When they arrived here, the Japanese army had already built fortifications outside Gaoshan Town.
In the second half of the night, these two national army divisions launched two charges against the Japanese defensive positions built outside Gaoshan Town, but both charges ended in failure.
The firepower of the Japanese army is fierce. Although these troops cannot gain any advantage in firepower when facing the Fourth Army, they are facing the troops in the first theater at this time.
These troops not only suffer from serious pay problems, but many soldiers are not even equipped with rifles.
As for bullets and artillery fire support, it is even more scarce.
It is precisely because of this that these two national army units lacked effective means when attacking the Japanese army.
In addition, their troops lack effective training, and the overall quality of grassroots commanders is not very high.
So after launching two attacks, the two national army division commanders issued an order to stop the attack.
They built positions on the spot and at the same time sent a telegram to the headquarters of the First Theater District Commander in the rear.
Said that they had no choice but to continue attacking the Japanese defensive positions.
We must wait for reinforcements to arrive before we can launch a new round of offensive.
Tang Enbo was in the commander's department of the first theater and was furious when he saw the telegrams sent by the two national army division commanders.
He naturally knew that these two division commanders of the national army were not good people.
But now he is seeing the three divisions in the first theater being besieged in the Shangjie area. These two national army division commanders are still thinking about preserving their strength and do not dare to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. This makes him very angry.
So he directly called the division headquarters of these two national army divisions.
In a very stern tone, he told them that they must immediately launch an attack on Gaoshan Town occupied by the Japanese army and help the three divisions of the National Army open a retreat channel. Otherwise, they would be dealt with according to military law.
This phone call did have some effect.
After receiving this call, the two national army division commanders thought for a while and then made the same decision.
They don¡¯t dare to openly disobey orders, but there are ways to execute orders.
¡°There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. They are very familiar with this set of tricks.
So the two national army divisions deployed two regiments of troops to conduct a small-scale raid on the Japanese defensive positions.
This kind of attack is like tickling the Japanese army.
Even the light and heavy machine guns on the Japanese positions were ordered by Japanese officers not to fire.
Use only rifles to shoot at enemies.
Until about 2:30 in the afternoon, their attack made no progress.
But the sound of gunfire still came from this direction, and you can't say that their attack has not started. It's just that they only dispatched two regiments of troops to attack the Japanese positions.
And these national army troops participating in the attack also received orders, that is, when attacking, they do not need to work too hard, just pretend to attack from the front.
Compared with the two national army divisions scratching the itch on the periphery,An itchy offensive, the Japanese army launched an attack on the besieged national army in the upper block at ten minutes after noon, but it was extremely fierce.
The Japanese army assembled more than 30,000 troops and launched a fierce attack on the national army in the Shangjie area from three directions at the same time.
Not only that, because these are three national army divisions, unlike Xia Yang's troops, they lack effective air defense firepower.
At this time, the Japanese army also dispatched a large number of aircraft to carry out violent bombing of the area occupied by the Chinese army.
These national troops could only use the heavy machine guns they carried, or even rifles, to shoot at the Japanese fighter planes passing overhead.
But this kind of air defense method has almost no deterrent effect on the Japanese bombers and fighter formations.
Aerial bombs and incendiary bombs landed from the sky one after another, and then exploded.
The soldiers of the national army who were trapped in a narrow area of ??only a dozen square kilometers had no place to hide.
They suffered heavy losses under the bombing by the Japanese air force.
Many soldiers died in pain because they did not receive timely and effective treatment.
Zhang Changshan saw that the Japanese offensive was becoming more and more fierce, and their defense line was about to collapse, and he was extremely anxious in his heart.
But he only has these troops in his hands.
If there are no peripheral brother troops, support his troops. He had no way to break through the Japanese encirclement.
The Japanese army concentrated a large number of artillery pieces and carried out fierce bombing on the Shangjie area.
At this time, Japanese artillery shells even exploded violently in the housing area around Zhang Changshan.
Amidst the loud noises, Zhang Changshan's command post was also trembling.
Zhang Changshan looked at the map. He knew that only the two national army divisions on his side and behind could give him certain support at this time.
So he personally called the two national army division commanders and asked them to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army's outer defensive positions in the afternoon to coordinate their breakout.
If there are these two national army divisions, they will put a certain amount of pressure on the Japanese encirclement on the periphery.
¡° Then they concentrate the forces of three divisions and break out in one direction at the same time, although they will lose a lot of troops.
But, at least they won¡¯t be completely annihilated by the enemy.
Zhang Changshan said to them on the phone: "We are all brother troops in the first theater of war. This time, you two must support your brothers no matter what. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
