Many others were killed by the intensive firepower of the Japanese army during the charge.
Faced with such casualties, there was no joy of victory on Sun Zhen's face.
By destroying this group of enemies, he just felt that at least he was worthy of his dead brothers.
Similar to Sun Zhenbu, other troops of Deng Xihou also launched a fierce attack on the 19th Brigade of the Japanese 16th Division at this time.
The 22nd Army concentrated more than 40,000 troops and launched an uninterrupted and violent attack on more than 6,000 Japanese troops in the 19th Brigade.
In addition, they also used the artillery assigned to them by Li Zongren to violently bombard the Japanese positions.
There are many plains around Jining City, and the Japanese 19th Brigade, which is isolated on the periphery, has no dangerous terrain to defend.
As a result, they had to face enemies several times their size while being divided and surrounded.
In the daytime alone, two brigades of the Japanese 19th Brigade were annihilated, with more than 3,000 casualties.
Yuyasu Ono, the acting brigade commander of the Nineteenth Brigade, has just succeeded Tatsumi Kusaba as the brigade commander.
Their former brigade commander, Tatsumi Kusaba, killed several villagers because he was idle. In the camp, he was killed by Qin Shiming's men.
In the headquarters of the 19th Brigade on the riverbed, Ono Yuyasu was staring at the telegram sent by the division commander Nakajima Imaogo.
The expression on his face was not pretty, because Nakajima Imaogo said that their support would not arrive until late at night.
Yuta Ono observed the movements of the enemy on the opposite side. Although it was near night, the enemy seemed to still be making preparations for the attack.
If this is the case, then they will inevitably suffer a fierce attack from the enemy in the first half of the night.
At this time, where his headquarters was located, there were two brigades with nearly 2,000 troops, and a mountain artillery squadron with more than ten artillery pieces.
However, in order to knock out his headquarters, the enemy gathered more than five times as many troops as he did, and launched attacks on them from three directions at the same time.
When defending on two lines, it is already very difficult, let alone defending enemies attacking from three directions at the same time.
At the same time, a large group of Japanese reinforcements also quietly set out from Jining City at this time to support the location of the 19th Japanese Brigade.
They did not act during the day because they were worried that the enemy would discover their movements and ambush them in advance.
Nakajima Konsoga speculated that the enemy might choose to encircle a point for reinforcements, besieging their troops on the periphery, and then attack the troops that went to support them.
This time z.com Zhang Si. He has always been cautious and would rather miss the opportunity than make a fatal mistake.
Therefore, in the face of the national army's attack, his defense was actually very conservative.
In fact, Deng Xihou did have such a plan when he besieged the Japanese 19th Brigade.
However, after waiting all day long, he did not wait for the reinforcements from the Japs to arrive.
Originally, he planned to withdraw the ambushed troops, launch an all-out attack on the Japanese 19th Brigade at night, and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.
However, when asking Li Zongren for instructions, Li Zongren said that the troops who set up an ambush must stay behind.
"Because Nakajima has always been cautious in his actions, even if he had to send reinforcements, he would not choose to send reinforcements during the day, but at night when his actions are more concealed.
As Li Zongren expected, the Japanese army indeed began to take action at night.
The national army scouts responsible for keeping an eye on the Japanese army discovered that at the city gate shrouded in darkness, there was a large group of Japanese soldiers marching out from the city gate to reinforce the direction of the Japanese 19th Brigade.
In order not to expose the target, the Japanese army asked all trucks to turn off their lights after leaving the city gate. When marching, all soldiers were strictly prohibited from creating light sources that might reveal their whereabouts.
However, what I didn¡¯t expect in Zhongdao today was that Li Zongren directly sent troops to watch at their city gate.
As long as they have troops coming out, the Fifth Theater Command will be informed immediately.
Precisely because of this, the direction of action and possible march routes of the two brigades dispatched by the Japanese army to support have been known in advance.
In the headquarters of Deng Xihou¡¯s 22nd Group Army, Sun Zhen, who had eliminated the Japanese Third Brigade, has arrived here with his soldiers.
强牺 99bxwx.com &#35835牺。 "Old Sun, you fought well! Now there are only these people left in the 19th brigade of the little devil. Eat their headquarters, the 19th brigade of the little devil The regiment and its establishment will all be wiped out."
Deng Xihou said this with brilliance in his eyes.
Sun Zhen saluted him with a military salute and said: "Our troops are almost rested and ready to go into battle at any time. I just don't know, Commander, where do you plan to place us?"
Hearing this, Deng Xihou next to him chuckled and said, "Where will it be arranged? It must be arranged where you are most needed!"
With that said, he took Sun Zhen to the map.
"Here, Yangjiapu, is the only way for the Japs to support the 19th Brigade. I have deployed two regiments of troops to set up defenses here.
¡°But considering that the Japs also dispatched armored vehicles and tanks this time, and the firepower is also very fierce, my two regiments may not be enough.
You lead the men of the 124th Division to ambush on both sides, and at the same time deploy a regiment of troops to see if you can block their retreat after they enter the ambush circle.
My request is to wipe out all the Japanese troops in Yangjiapu! "
Deng Xihou said categorically.
Sun Zhen looked at the map and thought: "Commander, Yangjiapu is probably a plain area."
"Yes, they are all plains, which are actually not suitable for ambushes, but if we look at other places, they are not suitable for ambushes.
Therefore, the strength of two regiments is definitely not enough for an ambush, so you dispatched your 124th Division. "
Deng Xihou said, looked at Sun Zhen and said: "How is it? Are there any difficulties?"
Sun Zhen originally wanted to say that there was indeed a difficulty. They had lost a lot of troops. Could they replenish some?
But then I thought about it, Deng Xihou knew their casualties, if he had extra troops on hand, he could supplement them.
¡° Then when he first entered the house, Deng Xihou would talk about this matter.
Since we don¡¯t mention it now, it definitely means we don¡¯t have it.
The two have worked together for many years, and he also knows many things. Even if he doesn't say it, both parties should understand it.
Therefore, Sun Zhen kept this matter in his heart and did not mention it again.
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. "There is no difficulty! It can be overcome!"
He said this.
There is no difficulty in the first sentence, but the difficulty can be overcome in the later sentence
