Xiao Tianming heard Chief of Staff Ding Ning say this, his heart was very moved, at this time he had not heard of the care for many years, during the Kuomintang army, especially when he followed his brother-in-law Liu Haozi to the Japanese as Wang puppet army, he was not called to be cannon fodder, this time, his own team was also because Yamada has always been used as cannon fodder, which caused the troops to decide to defect to the New Fourth Army with enthusiasm, and now when they heard that these commanders of the New Fourth Army wanted them to stick to their positions, He took the only remaining brothers who were all scarred and rushed to the enemy, compared with the two, Xiao Tianming and Liu Haozi sighed greatly, and felt that this time to take refuge in the New Fourth Army was right, although it was more difficult here than the puppet army, but it was quite worth it, because there was no discrimination between the teams, everyone was equal, the same poor, but they felt that it was easy to get along.
With equal treatment, of course, those ordinary soldiers under his command will obey the orders of the commander, and of course they will move forward bravely and complete the task, after all, the hearts of the soldiers are almost the same, and most of the soldiers are from the common people.
Xiao Tianming and Liu Haozi immediately said that since they had joined the ranks of the New Fourth Army, they should follow the chief of staff and them, leaving part of the team to hold their positions, and the rest of them followed the chief of staff to act, detour behind the enemy, and take the opportunity to outflank and surround part of the enemy.
Seeing that Xiao Tianming insisted on this, Ding Ning assigned the team, divided Xiao Tianming's division into three parts, led by the comrades of the New Fourth Army, and interspersed them with the three junctions of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army on the opposite side, leaving one battalion of troops to continue to hold the position, so as to cover the brothers' interspersed counterattacks and confuse the recalcitrant army that attacked head-on.
At the moment when Ding Ning and they were busy arranging interspersed counterattack operations in Pangjia Village in the west, Zhou Wu's battle to encircle and annihilate Miyamoto here in Lijiawan became white-hot, Miyamoto took the remaining battalion of devil veterans, desperately attacked the position of the 79th and 29th Division in the north, and successfully captured a forward position of the 29th DivisionThe rescue force of the imperial army has set out, the nearest to us is the Yamada brigade from the south, they have marched to the vicinity not far from Lijiawan, as long as they attack ten kilometers further north, they can join our brigade, when the time comes, we can tear open the encirclement of the New Fourth Army and the 79th Army in Jiangbei, break out, and withdraw to Huai'an City, the imperial army in the direction of Taizhou has been dispatched and is heading towards Huai'an City, and it is expected to arrive in Huai'an today, as long as our brigade can tear open the encirclement of the New Fourth Army, The rendezvous with the Taizhou Brigade and the Yamada Brigade could be completed, and it would not be easy to recapture Huai'an City, which was captured by only one Kuomintang division Miyamoto's only remaining devil brigade was extremely tenacious, relying on the position they snatched from the 29th Division, shrinking the troops, the fierce attack of the more than 30,000 New Fourth Army and the 79th Army of the stubborn resistors Zhou Wu, most of the brothers who charged were suppressed by the devils One or two hundred meters in front of the position, the casualties were very large, and Chen Guofu, who was in charge of the attack, was so angry that he scolded on the position: "His damn little devil is so stubborn, he can actually block the attack of so many of our teams, it seems that this time he is going to be ruthless, otherwise he can't explain to Zhou Wu." ” Of course, Zhou Wu also saw this situation on the position, and hurriedly called Lao Chen over, and said to him: "Lao Chen, I think it will definitely not work to attack like this, so many teams are crowded together, and they are attacking the devil's position in all directions, but with little success, Miyamoto devils are very good at defending the position, and the firepower configuration is also quite reasonable and reliable, if you want to completely capture this position, I think you have to cooperate with the old army commander and his brothers in the 79th Army, first order the attacking team to pause, and wait for us to discuss a feasible way." ” Lao Chen nodded hurriedly, and Zhou Wu radioed to the old army commander and said: "Old army commander, Miyamoto's little devil resistance is extremely tenacious, I think we have to change our tactics, otherwise the devil reinforcements from the south and east will arrive, and we will be attacked on our backs." ” The old army commander agreed with Zhou Wu's opinion and said to Zhou Wu: "Then in your opinion, I will listen to your opinion on how we should adjust our tactics." ” Zhou Wu suggested: "Old army commander, I think that such a regimental encirclement has made the little devils of the Miyamoto Brigade more fierce, they know that they will die, and they will do their best to resist to the end, and these remaining devil soldiers are all veterans who have been in battle for a long time, so we can't quickly conquer their positions after repeated attacks, and it is very unfavorable for us to drag on like this, the Yamada Brigade in the south has approached the town twenty miles behind us, and Ge Sanmin and they are stubbornly resisting over there, To the east, there is another Devil Brigade from the direction of Taizhou that is approaching Lijiawan, and the situation on the battlefield is becoming more and more unfavorable for us, so we must solve this Miyamoto Brigade as soon as possible."
Zhou Wu paused for a while and said to the old army commander: "Old army commander, the two Kuomintang recalcitrant troops on the west side of Pangjia Village are attacking us fiercely, where is the chief of staff Ding Ning with a few hundred brothers to fight with them bloodily, according to Ge Sanmin's report, although a puppet army division that has just revolted on the battlefield rushed to Pangjia Village to reinforce Ding Ning and them, but I still don't know the bottom in my heart, how can the combat effectiveness of these puppet army divisions be compared with the Kuomintang recalcitrant army on the opposite side with all American-made weapons If the western position is breached, Then the encirclement that we have carefully organized will be finished immediately."
The old army commander pondered over there for a while, and said to Zhou Wu: "Zhou Wu, I see that there are so many teams here in Lijiawan crowded together, and only more than half of them can directly participate in the attack on the Miyamoto brigade, since there is a crisis in Dingning on the western front, you will send some teams to rush there to reinforce, and I will also send a division besieging the Miyamoto brigade to rush in with you, stop the waist and intercept the middle of those miscellaneous armies, I want to deliberately leave a corridor in the east to let Miyamoto's brigade out, Your New Fourth Army will march to the edge of Hongze Lake in the southeast, and together with the officers and men of our 79th Army who have already occupied Huai'an City, you will destroy this devil who retreated and fled to the east on the way, and there is no strong field fortifications to rely on, and it is more than enough to deal with Miyamoto's brigade of about 1,000 men with five or six thousand people, if we still can't destroy Miyamoto's brigade in the movement, then we can simply disband."
The old army commander wanted to encircle three and lack one, and deliberately let out an escape corridor for Miyamoto to run out of the encirclement, so that Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army team marched quickly to the east, and together with the division of the 79th Army that was ordered to come out of Huai'an City, the recalcitrant Miyamoto brigade was annihilated, the old army commander deserved to be an old soldier, and the reason why Miyamoto was able to resist to the end was mainly due to the field fortifications here in Lijiawan, once they left these field fortifications, On the way to Huai'an City, they encountered the soldiers of the New Fourth Army and the Seventy-ninth Army, who were more than five or six times more than them, and Miyamoto had the ability to reach the sky, and he had to be eaten all of them Zhou Wu immediately accepted the old commander's plan of "encircling three and missing one", annihilating the enemy and moving, this battle plan was almost the same as what he thought in his heart, Zhou Wu just now also saw the fate of those devils, they are relying on strong field fortifications and excellent weapons in their hands, in order to resist the joint attack of the New Fourth Army and the 79th Army, and now it is estimated that their ammunition is almost consumed, and now at this time to open a gap, the effect must be good.
The Miyamoto devils who led less than five or six hundred devil veterans in the Lijiawan field fortifications to desperately resist the attack of Zhou Wu and their New Fourth Army already felt at the end of the road, and the fierce fighting over the past few days, the ammunition was about to run out, and he even shouted hoarse when he called for help to the Nanjing Headquarters, but the Yamada Brigade closest to Lijiawan here still could not break through the blocking position of Ge Sanmin, the second regiment of the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army, and the fierce gunfire over there indicated that the blocking position was still under the control of the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army.
The Yamada Brigade, which was desperately attacking towards the position, was never able to move forward, but was severely hit by Ge Sanmin and his team in that deep river, and there were no more little devils left under Saburo Abe, who served as the vanguard team.
Miyamoto felt that the end was coming, so he took out a piece of paper and wrote a suicide note on the paper, and before he could write a few lines, he heard a few ghost scouts in front of him hurriedly running over to report, judging from the excitement on their faces, there must be good news to report.
Sure enough, those devil scouts reported to Miyamoto excitedly: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, we just found that there is a small gap in the east, according to our reconnaissance, it is a junction between the Kuomintang 79th Army and the New Fourth Army. ” When Miyamoto, who was writing a suicide note, heard this gap, he hurriedly put away the suicide note, and asked the devil scouts carefully: "You have carefully observed it and made no mistake, it can't be a trap that Zhou Wu deliberately left for us to drill" Miyamoto's little devil was scared by Zhou Wu, but now he is careful everywhere, fortified everywhere, in case he falls into the trap that Zhou Wu tailors for him again, it will be completely finished.
At this time, the chief of staff of the devil next to the palace itself suggested to Miyamoto: "Brigade commander, I think it is better to send a small team to find out the situation, if they have not encountered the ambush of the New Fourth Army, then it may really be a gap in the encirclement, so that we, the only remaining warriors of the Imperial Army, can escape, and now the ammunition is about to run out, and the people of the New Fourth Army and the Seventy-ninth Army who are attacking on the opposite side are more than ten times more than us, we can't stop them with this little force, Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, Please think about it" The chief of staff of the devil means to send someone to find out the situation as soon as possible, and take the opportunity to break through to the east, otherwise if you continue to hesitate here, it will be all over t1706231537:
