At this time, Deng Xihou, commander of the 22nd Army, said in Sichuan dialect: "I'm afraid artillery support is not possible. I think it is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Our Sichuan Army will take the lead and give the Japanese a disincentive."
He was enthusiastic about fighting, even though his army group was understaffed and in poor equipment condition.
Han Deqin, the commander of the 24th Group Army next to him, said: "I think your Sichuan Army's equipment is not very good, so it's better to be a reserve force!"
As soon as he said this, Sun Zhen, the general of the Sichuan Army next to him, said in a moderate tone: "Oh, what are you talking about! Our Sichuan Army is poorly equipped, but we are not afraid of death! You son of a bitch, it's a dog day." You little devil, as long as our Sichuan children survive, we will definitely drive them back to their hometown in Dongyang!"
Han Deqin said at this time: "That's not what I meant. Don't get me wrong, Commander Sun. What I mean is that your 22nd Army's previous battles consumed a lot of money, so it is more suitable to use it as a reserve force."
At this time, Chief of Staff Xu Zuyi smoothed things over and said: "Okay, okay, Commander Han is considering the war situation! Commander Sun, don't get emotional! Let's decide how to fight this battle! After all, the little devil has left us so much time Not much, if we spend all this time arguing, that would be a situation the little devil would like to see."
As she said this, she looked at the silent Commander-in-Chief Li Zongren.
Seeing that they were no longer arguing, Li Zongren slowly said, "Actually, I've already decided who will take the lead."
With that said, he looked at Deng Xihou, commander of the 22nd Army, and said, "Do you have any problem with your 22nd Army coming to complete this mission? I will add another reorganized division to you, and I will try my best to support you with artillery.
In one day, do you have any problems? "
Deng Xihou, who is not tall but has a firm gaze, said in Southwest Mandarin: "Isn't it just to knock down the two teams of the turtle son and the little devil? Even with a hammer! One day is enough!"
As he said this, he lit a cigarette, walked to the front of the map, carefully watched the Japanese army show the location of the defense area, and then said very confidently: "Commander-in-Chief, give me another heavy machine gun battalion." , I chewed off these two bones."
"Heavy machine gun battalion?"
"That's right, our Sichuan army is poorly equipped! We don't have many heavy machine guns. Brothers, we can't charge with just our flesh and blood! If we encounter the machine gun firepower of the little Japs, without any fire suppression, it will definitely not be enough. !¡±
Hearing this, Li Zongren nodded to him, and then said: "Okay, I understand. I will prepare fifteen heavy machine guns for you and ten mortars for you."
Hearing this, Sun Zhen also smiled and said: "That's great, Commander-in-Chief, we will definitely show you that although our Sichuan army is poorly equipped, it is not bad at all in fighting!"
"Okay, I believe in you Sichuan Army!"
Commander-in-Chief Li said, "I will be waiting for your good news here."
After saying that, he looked at Han Deqin and said: "Commander Han, your mission is to storm Jining City so that these little devils can hide in the city and dare not come out.
Remember, don¡¯t tell me about casualties. I only want the little Japs in Jining City not to come out of the city. "
Han Deqin saw that the two generals of the Sichuan Army were speaking so harshly, and he also wanted to compete.
Then he said: "Commander-in-Chief, I think, how about we attack the Jining City occupied by the little devils? Our 24th Group Army, the soldiers and generals are not for a living."
Seeing that he was also very high-spirited, Li Zongren was secretly happy.
What he wants is this kind of atmosphere. Officers in various units are rushing to fight with the Japs instead of thinking about how to preserve their strength.
In fact, this is also the reason why Li Zongren arranged combat missions for the Sichuan Army in the first place.
Although the Sichuan army is poorly equipped and the quality of its soldiers is not high, it has a strong will to fight.
"If the Sichuan Army, which is theoretically the worst in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, can accomplish its tasks well, then there is nothing much that can be said about the legions of other group armies.
Sure enough, this trick really works.
"At least Han Deqin, the commander of the 24th Group Army, has already fallen into the trap.
Now they have begun to scream and brag that they will capture Jining City.
Subsequently, Li Zongren also made arrangements for other attacking troops, their attacking sequence, and their respective tasks.
This time, the several armies they dispatched, except for the remainingApart from the defensive group army, they are basically the absolute main force in the fifth theater.
Outside Tai'an City, the group army led by Pang Bingxun also mobilized an army to support Zhang Zizhong's 59th Army.
The national army attacking Tai'an City already has two armies, plus two reorganized brigades, with a strength of 70,000 to 80,000 people.
In addition, although they have relatively few troops, they have a very important force - Qin Shiming's third battalion.
Commander-in-Chief Li originally thought that Qin Shiming and the others played a very important role, but he never expected that this guy would use his sixty-odd men to directly attack Tai'an City.
According to his previous combat intention, attacking Tai'an City was actually more to contain the strength of the Japanese Tenth Division.
In this way, they can capture the more important Jining City.
But when the news came that Tai'an City had been captured, Commander-in-Chief Li was also very surprised, and then he was ecstatic.
Now he suddenly realized that his situation was too small.
What Jining City, what Tai¡¯an City, now he wants them all!
Outside Tai'an City, the early morning sun slowly rose over the mountains and fell on the cheeks covered with green and black stubble in Cangshan River.
Last night, he stayed up all night, waiting for news from the defenders in the city.
However, unfortunately, the last telegram he received from the defenders in the city was received at four o'clock in the morning.
The content of the telegram is:
"Our troops have tried their best to resist, but they are all in pieces!"
The telegram was very brief, with a slightly tragic meaning, but it also shattered Cangshanchuan's illusions about the tactics of internal response and external cooperation.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the gunfire inside can no longer be heard. About five o'clock in the morning, we no longer hear gunfire in the city.
I think¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"
Having said this, his chief of staff lowered his voice and said: "Maybe all our troops stationed in the city have been killed."
Cangshanchuan looked at Tai'an City in the distance, his eyes a little shaken.
At this time, his eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. After listening to the words of the chief of staff, he said after a while: "How is the situation at Furong Zhenping's side?" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
