In Linxicheng, Chow Tai Fook is under great pressure.
After the reinforcements of the Little Japanese arrived, the Japanese army had surpassed the three columns in strength. In addition, Linxi did not have any solid defense lines or fortresses, so neither side took advantage of the terrain.
¡°But the Little Devils had slightly stronger firepower than the Third Column. In addition, the other party firmly controlled the air superiority, so the casualties suffered by the unit were very high.
At present, the little devil receives the death order, which is a completely uncle's play, which has caused great pressure on the three verticals.
If Linxi falls, not only will the unit be in danger of being annihilated, but it will also have a negative impact on the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese soldiers in the encirclement, and even the strategic goal of the entire campaign will be ruined.
History has pushed him, Chow Tai Fook, to the forefront, and all he can do is hold on.
He wants to be a hero, even a martyr, but he cannot be a sinner no matter what.
And Chow Tai Fook also believed that their army, which came from the water towns of Jiangnan and the hilly areas of Shandong, would be able to create another miracle and complete the historical mission of annihilating the 14th Division.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, in the west position of the city, the infantry brigade of the Tieshi Army had been locked in a deadlock with Li Hua's troops for more than two hours.
Originally, Major General Kurino felt that this battle was not a big challenge. Even without using secret weapons, he could easily defeat the defenders and seize the front line of defense.
However, two hours later, instead of defeating each other, they suffered heavy casualties.
What made Major General Kurino and others even more depressed was that when they planned to use special cigarettes, they found that the wind suddenly picked up.
Although the wind direction is very suitable for using special smoke, the wind force is too strong. Under the northwest wind of level 6 or 7, no special smoke can produce any effect. A strong wind blows over and all the smoke disappears.
Major General Kurino was confused, Gao Pinbiao was confused!
Since there is no way to use special smoke, we can only continue to attack.
The Japanese commanders at the front all believe that the casualties of such a long-term attack must be beyond imagination. They are already at the end of their strength and can defeat the opponent with more strength.
At present, a large number of Japanese and puppet troops are once again gathering at the front, preparing to launch a larger-scale battle.
In the Northeast in winter and spring, it gets dark before six o'clock, and at this time, the Japanese fighter planes are also returning one after another.
In the encirclement to the west of Linxi County, the Japanese and puppet troops who had been besieged for two days and two nights were almost reaching their limit.
During the day, they made five breakouts with the assistance of aviation, but all failed.
After a day of fighting, although they caused a lot of casualties to the national army, they themselves also suffered heavy losses. The total strength dropped rapidly from more than 14,000 to about 6,000.
More importantly, the morale of the unit was low, supplies were exhausted, and it was almost on the verge of collapse.
And compared to the lack of food and ammunition, what is even more terrifying is the lack of fresh water.
The hilly area here is itself an arid area, with very little rain and no rivers passing through it, so the little devil has not received any water supply in the past few days.
And the water they carried in their kettles had been drunk long ago, and everyone's throats were about to smoke.
Coupled with the hard work every day, water evaporates quickly, and many people are almost dehydrated without replenishing water sources.
On Chen Jianzhong's side, as night falls, the final encirclement and annihilation battle is about to begin.
In the temporary headquarters, Chen Jianzhong looked stern and asked in a deep voice: "Are all the troops ready?"
"Report: A total of more than 50,000 people from the second, sixth and seventh columns have arrived at the scheduled attack position, and the artillery of the other three columns has also been put in place."
Chen Jianzhong immediately said: "Fifty thousand people, 155 large-caliber artillery pieces and 50 tons of artillery shells are enough for a little devil to drink a pot."
"Commander, there are not only 50,000 people, but we also have two columns that have arrived at the outside of the battlefield and are ready to join the battle at any time!"
Chen Jianzhong shook his head and said: "To deal with only a few thousand remnant soldiers, 50,000 people are too many. Immediately send a report to the Eighth Column and the Ninth Column, asking them to bypass the battlefield immediately, rush to Linxi, and immediately encircle Linxi City with Zhou Dafu's troops." The 29th Division outside, we don¡¯t want to completely annihilate them, we just want to hold them back.¡±
"yes!"
"Now let's check the watch. My watch is a quarter past six. The general attack will begin at half past six. At that time, the two troops on the periphery of the encirclement will launch an attack at the same time. In one go, we will completely destroy the 14th Division!" Chen Jianzhong ordered.
"yes!"?¡
15 minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Following the order from the general headquarters, more than a dozen red signal flares and a large number of illumination flares were simultaneously raised on the forward position.
The signal flare was the signal and order to attack. In an instant, all troops took action immediately.
The first to fire was the artillery unit of the Chinese army. A total of four powerful artillery regiments unleashed their power at the same time. More than 30 Japanese-made 75mm mountain guns and more than 120 76mm field guns fired a fierce bombardment at the Japanese positions.
Even the little devils in the encirclement are all elites of the Kwantung Army. They have combat experience on the battlefields inside and outside the pass, so they are very experienced.
But they still had never seen such a violent artillery strike, and they couldn't even imagine that such powerful artillery actually belonged to the Chinese army.
"Boom boom boom"
The shells fell like free money, tearing apart the simple defense line built by the Japs with car and tank wreckage and even the corpses of the dead. The car and tank wreckage were blown up in all directions, while the Japs soldiers were firing fiercely. I could only lie on the ground and tremble, like a frightened quail.
The shelling lasted for ten minutes, and under the pressure of dozens of tons of shells, it completely crushed the Japanese and puppet troops in the encirclement.
When the sound of artillery stopped, the sound of "ticking" and "ticking" was everywhere on the several-kilometer-long battlefield.
As the trumpet sounded, the national soldiers all over the mountains and plains rushed out of the encirclement and launched the final siege against the Japanese soldiers in the encirclement.
In the encirclement, the commander of the Japanese 14th Division, Takashi Iguchi, was completely desperate. The troops inside could not break out, and the reinforcements from outside could not get in. They were in a desperate situation.
When various peripheral signal bombs were launched into the sky, Jingguan Takanchang knew that it was over, and the general attack of the enemy had begun. This also heralded that their doom was coming.
Immediately, Jingguan Longchang immediately ordered the radio operator to send a farewell telegram to the Kwantung Army headquarters, and at the same time organized various regiments under the unit to conduct a military flag burning ceremony.
This is something that every Japanese army that is about to die has to go through. There is no way, they can't let the military flag fall into the hands of the Chinese.
After doing this, Jingguan Longchang personally executed all the radio operators, and then prepared for the final fight with the Chinese army.
The outer defense line was quickly overwhelmed by the Chinese army, and soldiers from both sides strangled each other in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
Under normal circumstances, what the Japanese army likes most is hand-to-hand combat, and they pride themselves on being experts in this field.
"But the Japanese soldiers who have not had water for several days are all very weak and are shaking when walking. Facing the national army who is recharging their strength, the result can be imagined.
The hand-to-hand combat lasted for a full hour and a half. The Japanese soldiers on the periphery had basically been eliminated, leaving only a small number of Japanese soldiers surrounded by the Chinese army, including the commander of the 14th Division, Jingguan Longchang.
At this point, Iguchi Takanchang had nothing to pray for. He looked at the hundreds of officers and soldiers around him, pulled out the command sword from his waist, and shouted loudly: "Warriors of the Japanese Empire, the imperial soldiers can only kill the enemy or kill the enemy." He was killed by the enemy and never surrendered, let us see him at the ninth level!"
After saying that, Jingguan Takanchang, dressed in a lieutenant general uniform, took the lead and launched the charge!
And behind him, more than a hundred Japanese officers and soldiers followed closely
Although these Japanese soldiers showed great courage, they could not change the outcome of the battle. As the officers and soldiers fired random shots, Jingguan Takanchang and the soldiers behind him fell to the ground one after another, becoming another example of the Northeast Army advancing back to his hometown. Medal of Merit!
