Anti-Japanese War: Kill the enemy with a bright sword, I am the king of warlords

The commander-in-chief of the devil also sighed, and announced the news to everyone.

All the devil officers whispered to each other for a while, and then a little devil officer made a suggestion. If it really didn't work, then he would force it and find an excuse to occupy Tanggu County by force.

The other devil officers all felt that this plan was feasible. Judging from their experience in dealing with Yanxia's troops, except for Xu Tianlu, who had an extremely tough attitude, the other Yanxia's troops were not to be feared at all!

As long as you give them a little pain, they will obediently smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs!

Soon, the senior officers of the Devil's Kwantung Army unanimously approved this plan, and decided that a few days later, they would use troops to invade and occupy Tanggu County by force!

It can be announced to the outside world that their soldiers disappeared in Tanggu County...

A few days later, at the invitation of Li Liangcai, Xu Tianlu went to relax around Fengtian City, holding Xu Tianlu who was checking people's livelihood work along the way, and naturally agreed.

Seeing that the common people had already started to harvest the autumn grain, Xu Tianlu was also very relieved. The common people in this era don't want much, and all they need is food and a home.

Only in the area controlled by Xu Tianlu can such a harmonious scene be seen. Li Liangcai introduced to Xu Tianlu, and at the same time talked about some of his reform plans, etc., all of which were affirmed by Xu Tianlu.

Just when everyone was about to go back to the city, they met a group of ragged and disheveled ordinary people on the road, supporting each other and staggering along the road.

Xu Tianlu and the others were all dressed in casual clothes. As soon as they saw them, the dozen or so refugees moved closer.

After a detailed understanding, everyone was shocked. They all escaped from Tanggu County. It is said that the little devil broke through Tanggu County in one day!

But after the city was broken, the little devil became so murderous that he massacred ordinary people in the city!

Many ordinary people escaped from the county town one after another, displaced, and fled all the way to Fengtian City.

These dozen or so people ran away relatively early, and most of them lived outside the city. They fled Tanggu County before the city was broken.

It turned out that I was wrong to blame my little brother. Xu Tianlu looked at Li Liangcai apologetically, and then said to him, "It seems that there are quite a few refugees fleeing. They will soon enter the area under our control."

"I will send a few regiments of troops to help you resettle the refugees. They are all Yanxia Erlang. We can't ignore this matter!"

"In addition, the whole army is on alert, replenishing logistics, and three days later, send troops to Tanggu County!"

Chapter 45

Li Liangcai also felt the difficulty of the task, but fortunately they had enough stock now, and it was difficult to accommodate tens of thousands of refugees, but it would not allow them to continue fleeing.

A few soldiers were left to follow Li Liang to settle down the common people, while Xu Tianlu returned to the division headquarters with a cold face.

As soon as he returned to the division headquarters, he asked his subordinates to collect information about Tanggu County. Soon, he got the latest news!

A brigade of the 15th Division is stationed in Tanggu County. The number of little devils attacking the city is unknown, but it is definitely not less than two regiments. Otherwise, Tanggu County will not be destroyed within a day!

The latest news is that the brigade of the 15th Division is likely to start street fighting with the little devils.

Recently, the intelligence department of the 29th Division has been short-handed, and most of them have been dispatched to monitor the movements of the 21st Division, Commander Wu and others.

At present, it is not known why the little devil wanted to attack Tanggu County, but Xu Tianlu didn't have time to understand the twists and turns, so he immediately invited He Yangqiu.

"Old He, I'm going to raise [-] troops and go to Tanggu County to fight the little devil! I'll leave it to you here."

If it was changed to another unit, then the principal and deputy commanders must set out together. After all, no one can be sure whether the deputy commander will suddenly stab a knife in the back, but Xu Tianlu is not worried about it at all.

"You are the division commander. Naturally, you have the final say. I agree with it! However, I suggest that you bring my old 37th Brigade over there. We have been stationed in Tanggu County before, and the soldiers under us are familiar with the terrain there. .”

He Yangqiu nodded and said to Xu Tianlu.

Xu Tianlu nodded, and immediately ordered that the entire brigade of the 37th brigade assemble, together with an artillery regiment, immediately go to Tanggu County to fight against the little devils!

After this period of development, the total strength of Xu Tianlu's 29th Division has reached nearly 3, of which He Yangqiu's 37th Brigade has the largest number of troops, directly reaching nearly 1!

After receiving the order from the division headquarters, the regiments of the 37th Brigade stationed in various places in Fengtian City immediately assembled towards the border of Tanggu County.

In one night, the troops had already assembled and drove to Tanggu County in a mighty manner.

During this time, Xu Tianlu finally figured out what happened in Tanggu County.

The little devil claimed that two of their soldiers were missing in Tanggu County, and wanted to go to the city to investigate!

A brigade commander of the 15th Division in charge of defending Tanggu County would definitely not agree. He thought this was nonsense. How could a brigade go to the city to search?

So the little devil directly tore his face, and suddenly launched an attack!

"This is different from their usual style."

What Xu Tianlu wondered was, did the little devil start the war in advance, otherwise why would he use such a poor excuse to attack Tanggu County?

According to the historical process, their primary goal should be Fengtian City, and at worst it should be a strategic location, right?

"I heard some rumors recently. Some of my friends in the 15th Division revealed that in the past month or so, the little devils have tried to garrison troops in Tanggu County through various means."

The brigade commander of the 37th brigade analyzed from the side, "They must have some ulterior purpose!"

Xu Tianlu nodded, closed the map, and said, "No matter what purpose they have, since they dare to slaughter the city, I will not let them go! Order the whole army to speed up, and within three days, I must rush to Tanggu County!"

"Yes, Master!"

For three days, all day, three days and two nights, Xu Tianlu's subordinates marched frantically, and the trucks towing heavy weapons were even full of soldiers.

Those who don’t have a car rely on two legs to climb to Tanggu County. If the military vehicle breaks down, only a dozen people will be left to repair it, and the others will not dare to stay for a while!

For every minute they delay, it is very likely that one more commoner will be massacred by the little devil!

Everyone knew the importance of supporting Tanggu County, even if some soldiers had worn out their feet, they marched without saying a word!

During these three days, the rest and cooking time for everyone may not add up to twenty hours.

On the way, Xu Tianlu was also worried that such a rapid march would cause many soldiers to get sick. If it was an infectious disease, it would be even worse, so he also asked the brigade commander of the 37th Brigade to pay close attention to the physical condition of the soldiers.

Once there are those who are left behind or sick, they must be treated immediately, they should take medicine, and they should be cured!

Even so, due to the different physical fitness of the soldiers, after the three-day march, nearly 1000 people were left behind for various reasons.

In the end, the more than 1 people brought by Xu Tianlu stopped less than ten kilometers away from Tanggu County, rested and recovered their strength, and prepared for the next attack.

The guard battalion set up the tent of the division headquarters immediately, and Xu Tianlu urgently summoned some scouts to inquire about the latest situation in Tanggu County.

"Reporter, according to our analysis, the little devil has completely occupied Tanggu County. Just half a day ago, the remnant soldiers of a certain brigade of the 15th Division gave up the street fighting and broke out, fighting and retreating with the little devil."

"At present, the little devil may have got the news from our side, and he has given up pursuing..."

Xu Tianlu's heart sank. This brigade has done a good job. Facing the well-prepared little devils, they have already stood firm in Tanggu County for more than seven days.

If Bai Yuanzhou or Wang Tianming's troops were replaced, they would probably surrender without even fighting.

After learning about their investigation information in detail, Xu Tianlu called the battalion commander of the special battalion accompanying the army.

It was the special soldiers who rescued Xu Tianlu and others in the negotiation last time, and they were also a special force that Xu Tianlu had been training secretly.

"I'll give you a mission. Send me all your people to infiltrate the little devil's defense zone, and conduct harassment warfare against the headquarters of their various troops. Try to avoid direct combat and focus on harassment!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, Xu Tianlu looked at the commander of the 37th Brigade and said:

"The troops rested overnight, and will advance towards Tanggu County early tomorrow morning. One regiment will be the vanguard, and the other regiments will be on the rear flanks, advancing in a triangular formation!"

"Yes, Master!"

After arranging everything, Xu Tianlu felt a little bored, so he walked out of the tent and inspected the defense of the camp area. The place where they camped temporarily was an open plain area, next to the road line.

The tens of thousands of soldiers brought here were already camping. There was the sound of hammers waving and fixing tents everywhere. There was an endless stream of soldiers carrying supplies back and forth, and they all saluted Xu Tianlu.

Soon, on the empty plain, green tents rose one after another, and the soldiers of the cooking squad began to cook. This was the first time Xu Tianlu had seen such a scene.

Just when Xu Tianlu was walking back after inspecting the patrol points, he ran into the disbanded troops of a certain brigade of the 15th Division head-on.

Chapter 46 Offend me in Yanxia, ​​just one word, do it

Xu Tianlu quickly noticed these people, and after confirming that they were not little devils, he rushed over with a company of guards. Judging from their military uniforms, they were indeed soldiers who had fought against the little devils for seven days!

"Stop them and ask them what's going on in the brigade!"

Xu Tianlu sighed inwardly as he looked at the line of soldiers, who consisted of no more than a hundred soldiers.

The soldiers of the guard company quickly leaned forward and took out some canned food and dry food.

Xu Tianlu went up and said to them, "Brother, who is your leader? Are you a unit of the 15th Division?"

One of the leaders came up, looked at Xu Tianlu, and said listlessly, "We are all soldiers of the 15th Regiment of the 213th Brigade of the 5th Division! Are you... from the Brigadier Commander He?"

At the same time, he also noticed that Xu Tianlu's identity might be unusual, anyway, he must be more imposing than his company commander, so he quickly saluted and said, "Hello, sir! Are you here to support Tanggu County? It's late, the county seat is gone! We A brigade has been broken up..."

Shen Guan's subordinates have always respected the members of the 29th Division, and this has also been influenced by the division commander.

Xu Tianlu stuffed a pack of cigarettes into his hand, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your brigade is doing well, you can't blame you for this, then leave it to our 29th Division, and we will definitely avenge everyone!"

As he said that, Xu Tianlu took this opportunity to learn about the troops and firepower of the little devils. After learning about it, he asked them to get some supplies, but he didn't stop them and let them look for their own troops.

In addition, Xu Tianlu also learned that Shen Guan had already led his troops to Tanggu County, and it seemed that he would not give up until he had a bloody fight with the little devil.

This is a good opportunity to unite with the 15th division!

Early the next morning, the 37th Brigade moved forward and approached Tanggu County. The closer they were to Tanggu County, the more shocking the sight they saw!

Passing by a village on the way, the whole village was silent!

The little devils killed no one alive here, and almost all of them were the corpses of soldiers from the 213th brigade, exposed to the sun, it seemed that they had once covered the evacuation of the common people here.

Everyone had never seen such a scene before, and their eyes turned red for a moment. Among these corpses, there were even many ordinary people!

Why is the little devil the most hateful!It is because they are inhumane, no grass grows wherever they go, and they even attack unarmed civilians!

Hundreds of corpses were piled up together, and it was foreseeable that the little devils drove them together before slaughtering them. Heads were crowding heads, and the ground was soaked in blood. Such a cruel scene appeared in front of everyone without any cover. in front of my eyes!

"Damn it, if I don't send these bastards to the eighteenth floor of hell, I won't be able to swallow this breath!"

"Don't say anything, little devil, just wait for Grandpa's machete!"

The soldiers were so excited that even Xu Tianlu had goosebumps all over his body even if he was mentally prepared.

One can imagine what kind of battles have been fought here. The soldiers of the 15th Division are all warriors, and none of them left the battle alive!There are a whole company of soldiers killed here alone!

"Everyone is there, and there is a minute of silence in place!"

Xu Tianlu turned to look at the soldiers beside him, leaving a battalion to bury the corpses, while the other troops continued to rush through the village to the county along the road!

In half a day, the army had arrived near the county seat. Xu Tianlu didn't say much, just two words.

"Fire!"

Without Xu Tianlu's pre-war mobilization, the soldiers of the 37th brigade would have been burst into chests with anger!

Everything they saw along the way turned into the courage to fight bloody with the little devil at this moment!

"The 37th brigade and one regiment, all attack!"

"The Second Regiment of the 37th Brigade, the bloody battle will not retreat!"

"The third regiment of the 37th brigade, vow to kill the Japanese pirates!"

The strength of a brigade just pressed up directly, and started a bloody battle with the little devils who were deployed on the outskirts of the county. The battle went straight to a climax from the beginning!

"Boom"

The ground was trembling violently. The soldiers of the little devils had just adapted to the attacking rhythm of the soldiers of the 37th Brigade, and when they were about to stabilize their decline, the free shells from the artillery regiment of the 29th Division fell on them like hail. Inside the camp!

Xu Tianlu's 29th Division's follow-up artillery regiment, all the members were crazy. Regardless of their care, they kept firing at the little devil's defense area. For fear that the little devil would not be blown up, he tried to arrange two rounds or even More shells!

Later, the head of the artillery regiment was dragged by the logistics people and made a complaint. In order to transport the shells, their logistics convoy even ran away with smoke!

Just this is almost not enough to supply the consumption of shells!

Anyone who knows knows that they are beating devils, but if they don't know, they think they are playing with cannonballs. How can there be such shelling?

Tanggu County was severely damaged, and the little devil had no choice but to place part of his troops outside the city. He wanted to delay the time and consume the strength of the brigade of the 29th Division.

But they never imagined that the soldiers of the 29th Brigade of the 37th Division fought like lunatics, one by one, and they were all desperately attacking their positions!

The ones in front fell, and the ones behind immediately followed up. Compared with the other Yanxia troops they encountered, they had completely different fighting styles!

Xu Tianlu also abandoned several sets of plans he had made, and adopted the most unreliable method to attack, but it was the most effective method!

No losses, no consumption!

The little devils only have about one regiment of troops outside the city, and they just want to break their morale at once!

"Reporter seat! According to the report of our investigators, Xu Tianlu, the commander of the 29th Division, has led the 37th Brigade to the outskirts of Tanggu County. They have already exchanged fire with the little devil!"
