From then on, even if he went to the battlefield, it was useless!

Their confidence and spirit have sunk, such people staying in the army will only disturb the overall morale of the army!

Although he was a bit reluctant, if they continued like this and couldn't get out, Chen Qingzhi had no choice but to disband them all for the future of the independent brigade!

Text Chapter 431 The Battle of Taierzhuang is over!

Take the troops and walk towards the outside of Taierzhuang. This time to evacuate Xuzhou, you need to pass through the south gate of Taierzhuang.

When Chen Qingzhi arrived at the south gate, he saw two soldiers standing there on horseback. Even if the two soldiers were sitting on the horseback, their backs were still straight and their faces were serious. It appears that they seem to be waiting for someone.

When Chen Qingzhi looked over, it happened that the two cavalrymen also looked over. When they saw Chen Qingzhi, they were taken aback for a moment, and then immediately drove their horses over.

"The humble Liu Lanzhai was ordered to wait here. I have seen Brigadier Chen!" A leading cavalryman dismounted from his horse, saluted Chen Qingzhi, and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi saw clearly that this person was Liu Lanzhai. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Lanzhai continue to say: "Brigade Commander Chen, the master ordered me to wait here, and let me follow you later. !"

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi was immediately stunned.

In the next moment, a strong emotion surged in my heart.

Originally, Liu Lanzhai wanted this person urgently. He wanted to go to Chifeng City to ask for it after the battle of Xuzhou was over. Let it go, but I didn't expect that when the two were about to part, Chi Fengcheng would give him such a big gift!

For a while, Chen Qingzhi didn't know what to say, and wanted to thank him, but thinking about it carefully, maybe at this time, Chi Fengcheng had already led his troops to leave!

As a last resort, Chen Qingzhi could only say: "Officer Chi has treated me well, and Qingzhi has nothing to repay. I only hope that there will be a day to see you again in the future. After all, Qingzhi will sweep the couch and wait!"

Chen Qingzhi's actions were not fake, and they were not intended to win people's hearts. Liu Lanzhai could see that Chen Qingzhi's actions were sincere, and the alienation in his eyes also quietly dissipated.

At this time, I heard Chen Qingzhi say: "Since Chief Chi has already sent you to me, Liu Lanzhai, are you willing to fight devils with me? If you don't want me to force you, I guess Chief Chi has not gone far, and you still chase after him." superior!"

Hearing this, Liu Lanzhai shook his head and said: "I obey Chief Chi's orders, besides, Chief Chen is also a well-known man, I have heard a little about what he did before, and I am yearning to fight devils with you, Chief Chen , I’m so happy! If Chief Chen doesn’t dislike me, I, Liu Lanzhai, will be a member of the Independent Brigade from now on!”

"Okay! If that's the case, Liu Lanzhai, join us!" Chen Qingzhi nodded and said calmly.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Liu Lanzhai immediately stood at attention and saluted, then got on his horse and entered the queue with a guard behind him.

After looking back at the team again, Chen Qingzhi nodded in satisfaction, and said loudly: "Go on!"

The troops set off again, slowly heading towards Xuzhou, and the day after Chen Qingzhi left Taierzhuang with the independent brigade, Li Zongren personally commanded the troops and launched a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese troops around Taierzhuang.

night of April 4

Our army sounded the horn of attack.

The left-wing corps, mainly composed of Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, and the right-wing corps, headed by Tang Enbo and Feng Yizhong No. 20 Corps, launched a large-scale counterattack in Taierzhuang and its surrounding areas.

Sun Lianzhong's Second Army, which had been passively defending and being attacked, was excited when they heard about the massive counterattack. After the order was issued, the soldiers immediately launched a counterattack with great enthusiasm, and the shouts of killing shook the sky and the earth in an instant.

Many troops began to fight against each other with the Japanese army, surrounded the little devils with superior forces, and launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese army.

Some time ago, because the encirclement had not been completed, they were not allowed to counterattack without authorization, but the result was that they had been passively defending. There were so many casualties, but they were unable to fight back. This feeling of aggrieved made the soldiers feel angry.

Now that it was finally possible to vent, the soldiers attacked like crazy.

In the Taierzhuang area, there were scenes of fighting everywhere. More than 10,000+ troops from both sides fought in this small town.

Street fighting, hand-to-hand combat, encounters, ambushes... For a while, Taierzhuang once again fell into a situation of gunfire and blood.

Since the outbreak of the Taierzhuang Battle, the entire Taierzhuang area has become a bloody meat grinder. Since the beginning of the war, both sides have invested countless soldiers here, and countless soldiers have fallen here, soaking the ground with blood.

The earth that soaked the entire Taierzhuang was dark red, almost like a ghost!

Under the unsacrificing fighting of the soldiers, the Japanese army suffered a very heavy blow. They had never encountered such tenacious resistance, and such a crazy attack was a little difficult to resist for a while.

Gradually, the defensive positions of the Japanese army began to gradually collapse!

Finally, in the early morning of April [-]th, the little devil finally found it difficult to resist, the fronts collapsed one after another, and they began to flee in embarrassment.

At the same time, on the other side of Taierzhuang, in the direction that Tang Enbo's No. 20 Corps was attacking, the sound of guns and artillery was heard endlessly, and the Japanese army could not resist and was defeated.

At this time, the division commander Itagaki Seishiro, who had fled back to the main force of the Fifth Division, knew that they had been surrounded and that there was no chance for the Taierzhuang battle, and his idea of ​​continuing to resist began to waver.

And just when his heart was shaken, a piece of news came, but it made Seishiro Itagaki's idea of ​​retreating suddenly firm up!

After many days of fierce fighting, his Fifth Division was on the brink of exhaustion, its ammunition and food had been exhausted, its gasoline locomotives had basically been blown up, and the entire division had suffered heavy losses. , the entire division has no fighting spirit.

After receiving the news, Itagaki Seishiro knew that if he continued to hesitate, all of their Fifth Division would be trapped. As a last resort, he had to order the troops to retreat.

Under the retreat order of division commander Seishiro Itagaki, the fifth division fled in embarrassment. Li Zongren, the commander of the fifth theater, saw the rare opportunity and immediately ordered the troops to pursue the victory.

Both sides of the road are full of the corpses of little devils, countless equipment and equipment are scattered all over the ground, and the Fifth Division also suffered countless casualties during their escape.

In the end, only Seishiro Itagaki, the commander of the division, was left with the remnants of the Fifth Division. Less than [-] people desperately broke through and fled back to Zaozhuang and Yixian County.

After this battle, the fifth theater defeated and severely damaged the fifth and tenth divisions of the Japanese army, wiped out more than [-] Japanese soldiers, and seized a large number of weapons, ammunition, food, grass and equipment.

Of the two divisions, only the remnants of the Eighth Brigade fled back to Yi County in embarrassment, and an infantry regiment, engineer and cavalry regiment that Seishiro Itagaki desperately took out, and the rest died in battle.

So far, the Battle of Taierzhuang ended with the victory of the fifth theater!

Chapter 432 There is a situation

Sitting on the horse, Chen Qingzhi looked at the mental state of the soldiers at this time, with a look of worry in his eyes.

This is already the second day since they launched Erzhuang. They thought that after a day's rest, the soldiers' mental condition could be relieved, but at this time, it seems that the soldiers' spirits are still very bad.

Many people have grief and confusion on their faces.

Grief is caused by the death and injury of too many comrades-in-arms. As for confusion... it is because they are full of unknowns about the future road and don't know how to continue.

Whether to continue to fight, maybe one day you will die on the battlefield, or to disarm and return to the fields to be an ordinary citizen honestly.

The soldiers have already had some entanglement and confusion about their future path.

Chen Qingzhi saw all this and was anxious in his heart.

He didn't blame the warriors for being timid, nor did he despise their cowardice.

In fact, when they were on the battlefield, all the soldiers were desperate to fight to the death, but now they came up with this idea mainly because too many people died in this battle!

There were originally more than 8000 people in the team, but in the end there were only more than 300 people left. The familiar faces and comrades who got along day and night were all dead. Such a scene shocked the soldiers deeply.

Coupled with the fact that this battle has been fought for so long, the hearts of the soldiers have been tense all the time. There is nothing wrong during the war, but once the battle is over and the tension is relaxed, problems will immediately arise.

At this time, the soldiers had this problem!
