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

The chief of staff of the 15th Division reported to Shen Guanhui at the division seat, and then said with some sighs, "This Xu Tianlu is really a rare talent. He arrived in Tanggu County in three days, and they are farther away than us! "

Without the chief of staff's report, Shen Guan could already faintly hear the sound of shelling from the direction of Tanggu County.

"Hmph, you know we're running slowly, why don't you march faster? Lao Tzu's troops have been beaten, but you want someone else to teach the kid? Our 15th Division doesn't make sense!"

Shen Guan put down the binoculars and said, "Everyone is marching in a hurry, within half a day, you must join the battle for me! I want to crush this group of bastards to ashes!"

"Yes!"

The chief of staff nodded emphatically. The teacher is an educated person, and he never swears very much, but he is so angry at this moment. It can be seen that the little devil really pissed him off.

On the frontal battlefield, under the pressure of the 29th Brigade under the 37th Division, one of the little devil's regiments has gradually lost its strength, and has given up a large area of ​​​​position, retreating and retreating!

Chapter 47 Supporting the 15th Division and Beating the Little Devil

"Fight according to this rhythm, don't stop the sound of the artillery! Use all our mortar grenade launchers to cover the infantry attack! Remember, no prisoners will be left, let me fuck him to death!"

Xu Tianlu didn't stay idle either, and directly turned his headquarters into a mobile headquarters.

Leading the guard battalion to charge, shooting at the little devils in the position, and issuing combat orders!

Points are rising slowly, and the speed of harvesting is so fast that even Xu Tianlu is a little surprised. This is the courage and strength brought by anger!

The soldiers have seen so many horrific situations, and seen the cruel methods of the little devil. This fight is a desperate fighting style. Can the points be unhappy?

"Da da da!"

After the soldiers charging in front occupied part of the little devil's position, a commander of the 37th brigade directly picked up the light machine gun that the little devil had left on the position, and used their weapons to shoot at the devil soldiers in the trench.

"Puff puff!"

For the devil soldiers who had no time to retreat, at least two or three blood mist erupted on each of them, and they were directly swept into a sieve by the light machine gun!

"Brothers, the teacher said that no one will be kept as a prisoner! Kill them all for me! Avenge the common people and the comrades in the 213th Brigade!"

"revenge!"

Under the unstoppable offensive of the 37th Brigade, almost all the little devils in a regiment were wiped out, and less than 1000 people retreated into the county in despair.

"Baga, Lu, this Yanxia army is crazy, crazy!"

The captain of the Guizi Alliance, who was lucky enough to save his life, was terrified. As soon as he entered the city gate, he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, sweating all over his body, and bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

In less than two hours, his alliance was defeated by the enemy!

"Quick, ask for help! We can't hold Tanggu County!"

An army of more than ten thousand people, all of them turned into crazy beasts, plus they were equipped with weapons and equipment not weaker than the little devils, how can a mere regiment of devils be able to resist it?

On the surface, it seems that the troops led by Xu Tianlu are attacking without any rules, but in fact, they have a lot of routines!

In the face of ferocious and arrogant little devils, the soldiers of the 37th Brigade usually adopt a three-on-one or even four-on-one fighting method, dividing the enemies one by one in a row.

This tactic of the 37th Brigade played a decisive role when entering the position for hand-to-hand combat!

Even if the little devil has three heads and six arms, he can block the soldiers in front, but he can't block the soldiers who rush from the side!

As for the training of grassroots officers, Xu Tianlu also did a good job, many on-the-spot responses and performances made the little devil helpless!

There is a tacit understanding between the small groups of troops, and the firepower of the machine gunners suppresses it. Even though the little devil has just taken Tanggu County and his morale is like a rainbow, he can't resist it!

After the establishment of the 29th Division, Xu Tianlu and He Yangqiu had an extremely in-depth discussion. Why did their army in the hot summer appear to be driven away by a dozen little devils with thousands of soldiers fleeing?

The reason is nothing more than three points. First, the decision-makers at the upper level are vacillating in their attitude of war or peace. Second, it is the backwardness of weapons and equipment. Third, the military quality of the grassroots non-commissioned officers is insufficient! .

Today's 29th Division has corrected all the disadvantages. With a group of experienced grassroots officers as the skeleton, the lower foundation determines the upper limit of the building. The upper and lower divisions are united, and under the anger of revenge, there will be no disadvantages!

"puff!"

The saber in Xu Tianlu's hand pierced through the chest of the last little devil, dripping with blood, like a god of war!

The soldiers behind all let out earth-shattering roars, which made the little devils on the city wall tremble and turn pale!

The heroic appearance of the 37th Brigade made them wonder whether this army was really Yanxia's army, why were they so powerful and tenacious?

"Master, order to attack the city! We will avenge the fallen friendly troops in Tanggu County and the common people whose families have been destroyed!"

The soldiers around had forgotten their exhaustion and the bleeding wounds on their bodies. They only had one thought in their minds, to kill these crazy little devils!

Xu Tianlu can understand the fighting mood of the soldiers, but after nearly three hours of fierce fighting and days of marching, these old brothers are already very tired, Xu Tianlu can't risk the lives of soldiers!

"Siege the city! Siege it with water tight! Strictly check every intersection for those little devils who want to fish in troubled waters!"

After achieving a phased victory, Xu Tianlu did not attack rashly, but chose to stop.

Their deterrent power has been demonstrated, and it's the little devil's turn to fidget.

And another reason Xu Tianlu withdrew his troops was that he guessed that Shenguan's large troops were coming soon, so he had to save some face for the 15th Division.

Sure enough, after the battle of the 15th Division, tens of thousands of troops rushed to camp near Tanggu County, and the division commander Shen Guan even came to Xu Tianlu's headquarters in person.

As soon as he heard that Shen Guan was coming, Xu Tianlu hurried out to greet him.

Shen Guan is about 1.8 meters tall, the most typical feature of Northeast people, he has everything, except for his own roughness, he also exudes a different kind of aura, bold and stable.

"Mr. Xu, I have admired your name for a long time! My humble servant Shen Guan!"

Shen Guan smiled and stretched out his hand to Xu Tianlu, and at the same time looked at Xu Tianlu curiously, but did not get much information from his appearance.

I am also very puzzled in my heart, I don't know what this person relied on to start from a regiment from scratch and expand to a division now, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

"Mr. Shen's name, I, Xu Tianlu, have already heard it like thunder, please come in!"

Xu Tianlu invited Shen Guan to enter his headquarters, and after a while, the guards brought two cups of hot tea.

"Master Shen came here, and he should have prepared some thin wine, but there is a rule in the barracks that drinking is not allowed during wartime, so please don't mind, Master Shen."

Unexpectedly, Xu Tianlu's army is so strict, Shen Guan seems to have figured out some of his previous doubts suddenly, the combat effectiveness of an army sometimes does not depend on weapons and equipment, but whether there is serious military discipline!

From Shenguan all the way through the barracks of the 37th Brigade to here, all the way, he sighed in his heart at the orderly scenes in the barracks of the 37th Brigade. The soldiers were all full of energy and spirits, which were completely different from other troops he had seen!

From these things, it is enough to see that Xu Tianlu is strict in governing the army, and Shen Guan is very surprised by the demeanor of the entire army.

"Not much gossip, this time I would like to thank Master Xu for his generous help. Please leave the next battle to our 15th Division."

Chapter 48 Surround the little devils and start the siege campaign

When Shen Guan spoke, he didn't seem very excited, but Xu Tianlu could feel the suppressed anger in Shen Guan's concern.

The troops of the two are both under the command of the Feng army, but everyone knows that after the main force of the Feng army left to prepare for the Central Plains War, the warlords in various regions are on guard against each other and support their own self-respect.

If it was the former Bai Yuanzhou division, it would be good if he didn't make trouble, let alone support the battle in Tanggu County.

So Shen Guan still admires Xu Tianlu's character. .

"Mr. Shen, I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult to handle! It's not that I, Xu Tianlu, want to take advantage of the opportunity, but the soldiers under my command are filled with righteous indignation. If I want to withdraw my troops, they will not agree."

Xu Tianlu briefly recounted what everyone saw along the way. The corpses of ordinary people were strewn across the field, and a large number of refugees were displaced.

To put it bluntly, their 37th brigade is here to beat up the little devils, and there is no such thing as giving up halfway!

"I don't think it's better than this. Our troops are responsible for attacking the city from the south, while your army flanks the city from the north to cut off the little devil's retreat. How about it?"

Listening to Xu Tianlu's words, Shen Guan thought for a while before agreeing. This matter is not harmful to them, and now he also admires Xu Tianlu's integrity in sending troops to attack the little devil, so he took this opportunity to make friends with him. Also a good thing.

The two talked in secret at the headquarters for more than an hour before Shen Guan led his own soldiers away from the area where Xu Tianlu's troops were located and went back to prepare for the siege.

Xu Tianlu personally sent Shen Guan away, and his impression of him deepened again. On the surface, this person looks indifferent, but in fact, he is a very strategic and resourceful person!

The understanding of some battles also refreshed Xu Tianlu's cognition.

In the face of the great enemy, Xu Tianlu must unite all the forces that can be united. This saying has been handed down from the ancestors, and it has its own reasons. Sooner or later, he will recruit a talent like Shen Guan, at least not let him become an enemy!

Everything is ready, the forces of both sides have blocked the little devil's escape route, 2 people surrounded the little devil with less than 5000 people, which made the little devil who was trapped in the isolated city terrified.

Xu Tianlu also sent someone to cut off their telephone lines and blocked all means that could block their external communication. At this moment, the little devil, after realizing that the telephone line was cut off and the scouts could not get out of the city, could only pass through The radio station asks the superiors for help!

The Kwantung Army immediately held an emergency meeting. After the final discussion, it assembled and dispatched tens of thousands of troops to support Tanggu County!

But before their reinforcements started marching, He Yangqiu had already led the other three brigades of the 29th Division, blocking their way ahead of time!

This group of devil troops in Tanggu County must die!This is the attitude of the 29th division!

In desperation, the devil troops could only give up the idea of ​​support, they could not defeat the other troops of the 29th Division in a short time!

And once the war is forced, it will be completely irreparable. They have prepared for this war for several years, and they must not lose more power at this juncture.

The two sides have not officially declared war, but it is already tantamount to war!

The devil's commander in Fengtian Province even wanted to seek help through Commander Wu, asking him to put pressure on Xu Tianlu in the name of Fengjun's Fifth Army to negotiate withdrawal, so as to keep the troops in Tanggu County.

But Commander Wu is powerless!He has a total of three divisions under his command, and the only one he can control is the 21st division. Xu Tianlu and Shen Guan don't take him as commander seriously at all!

Let him put pressure on Shen Guan and Xu Tianlu?That is simply a fantasy!

Fortunately, he has already negotiated a deal with the foreign devils, and won the weapons and equipment of nearly ten thousand people, as well as the support of a force of foreign devils!

Of course, the benefit he gave was that after the "civil strife" of the Fifth Army was resolved, the foreign devils would be allowed to garrison troops in Fengtian Province, with no more than [-] troops!

This is a proper act of leading a wolf into a house!

Afterwards, when Xu Tianlu learned of the deal between Commander Wu and the foreign devils, he was furious, and he had put Commander Wu and Wang Tianming on the must-kill list!

While the short-sighted Commander Wu was still in Jincheng and the foreign devils, Xu Tianlu's troops were already preparing for the siege.

The city defense of Tanggu County is very strong. Before the little devil broke through the county, the city wall was 15 meters high, and the thickness of the city wall exceeded the scale of other ordinary county towns!

Such a fortified city, under the fire of the little devils, finally fell, which is enough to see their terrifying strength!

But the strength of Xu Tianlu's 37th brigade is even more terrifying than them!

What they were facing was the city defense that the little devil had urgently repaired. Compared with before the city was broken, the natural strength had dropped a lot.

When the little devils guarding the city learned that the large troops could not pass through the 29th Division's defense line and reach Tanggu, they were also ready to fight to the death!

On the south city wall of Tanggu County, densely packed little devils were carrying ammunition, rolling stones and trees. They even set up hundreds of light and heavy machine guns on the entire south city wall.

Between the crenels, a large number of soldiers were deployed. Behind the city wall, the little devil cleared an open space and arranged his own mortar positions and mountain artillery positions.

There were basically no common people in the city. After the little devil broke through the city gate, most of them had fled with their families or were mercilessly massacred by the little devil.

So Xu Tianlu's attitude towards this siege is to let go of the attack without any scruples!

The soldiers were preparing ammunition and siege equipment before the siege. Taking advantage of this time, Xu Tianlu summoned the heads of the 37th brigade and the artillery regiment.

In the command post of the 37th brigade, Xu Tianlu looked around and asked a regimental commander, "How is the situation that you were asked to investigate before? Have you figured out the enemy's firepower layout?"

The regiment leader who was questioned immediately got up and said with a serious expression, "Reporter, our scouts have basically figured out the little devil's troops and firepower deployment."

"Looking from the outside of the city, the little devil has deployed no less than one hundred light and heavy machine guns on the south wall, forming cross-fire points with each other. It can be seen that there is at least one enemy machine gun every three crenels. Fire up!"

"We don't know the situation in the city for the time being, but according to the judgment and analysis of our artillery regiment, the enemy's long-range fire positions should be arranged at a position about 400 meters behind the city wall."

Xu Tianlu nodded, the next moment, he made an important decision...

Chapter 49

Hearing this, the head of the artillery regiment also stood up and said to Xu Tianlu, "Only in this way can their mortars hit our siege troops through shelling within the firing angle!"

Xu Tianlu nodded, looked at Hu Zhixin, the commander of the artillery regiment, and asked, "If I ask you to blow up their artillery positions by shelling before the battle, can this be done?"

The head of the artillery regiment pondered for a moment.Then he nodded and said, "Master, there is no problem! After the large troops attack the city, I will push out the general direction of their positions through the enemy's bombardment trajectory, and then strike accurately!"

"After bombarding their artillery positions, our artillery will also try to attack their firepower points to reduce the pressure on the front of the troops!"

As he said that, the head of the artillery regiment continued to suggest to Xu Tianlu, "Master, before our infantry attack the city, I hope that we can carry out shelling for 10 to [-] minutes, and try our best to damage the morale of their defenders!"

Hearing Hu Zhixin's words, the commanders of the other infantry regiments became excited. If the artillery regiment can really do such a long-term artillery attack, it will be a powerful blow to the morale of the little devil!

In this way, when they attack the city, they can get twice the result with half the effort!

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

Xu Tianlu nodded, looked at the officers, his expression became more serious.

"In this battle, we don't care about money or rewards. The goal of all military operations is only two words! Revenge!"
