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

"Although you are a unit of the 21st Division, you did a good job in today's battle. Your regiment has contained many foreign devils on the flanks."

Xu Tianlu glanced at the head of the 356 regiment, and then ordered, "For the sake of this matter, I will not make things difficult for you, put down your weapons, and you can leave!"

"Of course, if you want to stay and fight the little devils with us, I, Xu, raise your hand!"

In the end, there were more than 356 people in the 1000th regiment, and they transformed themselves and joined the 49th regiment.

After cleaning the battlefield, Xu Tianlu was also very pleased to find that there were still five cannons brought by the foreign devils that could be used, and they were almost intact, so he immediately sent someone to escort them to the artillery regiment's position.

Afterwards, Xu Tianlu rushed to Bohu Town without stopping, and the battle here was still stalemate.

Zou Botao's men charged four or five times, but still failed to take down the fortress guarded by only over 5000 people. There were many reasons for this, and Xu Tianlu did not blame him.

Zou Botao's brigade has just joined the 29th Division. Although the equipment is not bad, the quality of the personnel is not uniform, and they have not undergone systematic training, so their combat effectiveness is not high.

After Xu Tianlu came to the headquarters, he had a look at the situation, and asked the soldiers of the guard battalion to throw the foreign devil's body outside Bohu Town, and then ordered Zou Botao's department to stop the attack, and took Bohu Town three floors outside. surrounded.

In Bohu Town, the brigade commander of the security brigade was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing in the room for a meeting, with a nervous expression and hands that had nowhere to rest, all the time showing that he was already upset.

Even though the offensive Zou Botao hadn't won a phased victory, but their defensive strength in Bohu Town was not much!

Once Xu Tianlu is freed up, and even a few regiments are mobilized, with the strength of Xu Tianlu's direct army, his broken place will sooner or later be his territory!

His only hope now is the [-]-strong army of foreign devils and a regiment he sent out.

pity........

Chapter 78 Second Battalion Commander, Where's My Italian Cannon?

"Why haven't the 356 regiment and the foreigners come yet? Damn, how many rounds has the enemy attacked? Did they die on the way?"

What brigade commander Wang Jiapeng didn't know for the time being was that he was really right, the foreign devils did die halfway.

"They were four hours behind schedule. It seems that they were stopped by someone! Traveler, if this is the case, we may have to find our own way out."

The adjutant of the security brigade pondered for a moment, and continued, "If the foreign devils who are most relied on by the division do not get benefits from Xu Tianlu, we will not be able to defend this place at all!"

"Let's have a look again, wait for the news, it's never too late for a good meal."

Wang Jiapeng still had a little confidence in the foreign devils in his heart, but the soldier's immediate report made all his hopes shattered.

"Traveler! Something is wrong! A large number of corpses appeared on the outskirts of the town. According to the inspection of our soldiers, they were left behind by the 29th Division, and they were all foreigners' corpses!"

"what?"

Wang Jiapeng's heart sank, the adjutant really guessed right, what the hell happened to the foreign devil?

"This group of useless things know how to brag about how powerful they are all day long, and they can't even beat people from the 29th Division?!"

Wang Jiapeng closed his eyes, sighed, waved his hands and said, "The brigades of the 29th Division are about to break through the outer defense line, and they are unable to support us at all. Xu Tianlu encircles and does not attack. He wants to follow the example of the Qingshan County Battle and encircle and send aid! "

"I'm afraid there will be no reinforcements coming from the teacher's seat. As many as they come, Xu Tianlu can eat as many as they come, which is meaningless."

"What do you all think?" Wang Jiapeng turned to look at the other officers present and asked. .

"Lu Zuo, let's follow the example of Zou Botao. Let's surrender. If we fight to the death and get caught again, I'm afraid it will not end well."

"That's right, Zou Botao was able to descend, why can't we do so? Go to the goddamn teacher's seat, we brothers are working so hard, he almost fell into the turtle shell!"

"Traveler, for the current plan, there are only two ways to go. One, break out, and two, surrender! If you break out, it doesn't make much sense. We have lost contact with the outside world. I am afraid that at this moment, there are people from the 29th Division everywhere. Right? If we escaped from Guanbohu Town, how could we escape from the Huqiu territory under the eyes of tens of thousands of people?"

Everyone looked at the commander of the security brigade who was sitting on the main seat. Almost half of the people supported the surrender.

After a long time, the commander of the security brigade stood up with a sigh and said, "Kasong surrender!"

More than 5000 people, let them guard an isolated city, facing Xu Tianlu's upcoming tens of thousands of troops, he is not enough to give the enemy teeth!

The 21st division is gone, the only way to survive is to surrender, brothers don't have to worry about it.

When Xu Tianlu was eating with several officers, the battalion commander of the guard battalion quickly ran over and said loudly, "Master! As you expected, the defenders of Bohu Town surrendered!"

"Oh? Let's go and have a look!"

Xu Tianlu didn't care about eating, and led the crowd to Bohu Town, only to see the head of the security brigade walking in the front, holding a large white flag in his hand, as if he was afraid that others would not see him.

"Brothers on the opposite side, don't be nervous! We sincerely surrender, don't get caught off guard!"

As Wang Jiapeng walked forward, he looked around tremblingly, for fear that the enemy soldiers would dislike him and reward him with a peanut.

Behind Wang Jiapeng was a group of guard brigade soldiers who put down their weapons. They all looked happy. Once the people above surrendered, they had nothing to say, and the surrender was over.

At least there is no need to be abused by the 29th Division, and there is no need to fight.This is even happier for them than New Year's Eve.

"You are the brigade commander of the security brigade, Wang Jiapeng?"

Under the protection of the guards, Xu Tianlu stepped forward and sized him up. The latter almost guessed Xu Tianlu's identity when he saw the military uniform on Xu Tianlu's body and the respectful appearance of others.

"Mr. Xu, I am the brigade commander of the defense brigade. Our brigade has decided to surrender and lay down its weapons unconditionally... I, Wang Jiapeng, have no other requests. I only hope that Master Xu can show mercy and spare our lives!"

Wang Jiapeng almost knelt down for Xu Tianlu, his heart was beating wildly.

Whether it is life or death depends on Xu Tianlu's words.

"That's right, it's good to have this awareness!"

Xu Tianlu nodded, and said to the guard next to him, "Take Brigadier Wang down and arrange a luxury cell for him to stay for a few days. The rest of the soldiers will be settled in the POW camp first!"

"Yes!"

Xu Tianlu looked at the ancient town in front of him, and felt a little lucky. Fortunately, he used some tricks to make the enemy surrender. Otherwise, when the two sides fought together, the ancient town would be destroyed.

The ancient city wall alone could not withstand the attack of a few cannons.

Xu Tianlu took control of Bohu Town as a matter of course. At the same time, the battles in other areas were basically coming to an end.

The 29 troops of the 3th Division attacked the defense line deployed by the 21st from all directions at the same time. By this time, their defense line had been compressed to the vicinity of Huqiu City again.

One day later, the tens of thousands of troops deployed by the 21st Division on the outskirts of Huqiu City lost more than half of their personnel in the battle, most of them became prisoners of the 29th Division, and a small part fled into Huqiu City.

The 29th is the brigades and regiments, which achieved a lot in the battle, and seized a large number of standard weapons such as rifles, mortars, and light machine guns!

Nearly [-] troops surrounded Huqiu City in unison, and when Xu Tianlu gave an order, they would immediately start attacking the city!

According to the judgment of the staff of the 29th Division, the defenders of Huqiu City should have around 5000 people, and Xu Tianlu's siege force is more than twice theirs!

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that Wang Tianming and Wu Guangwei jumped over the wall in a hurry to arrest ordinary people and defend the city!

But this also made Xu Tianlu sigh a little. A few months ago, their 59th regiment hit more with less, and now it has tens of thousands of troops!

Their strength on the front is absolutely not afraid of any force in Fengtian Province now!

"The army rests for a day, and after a day, it will launch a general attack! Everyone can celebrate at will, but it is still the same as the old three. During wartime, drinking is not allowed, and unauthorized actions are not allowed. Soldiers and officers at all levels are not allowed to leave the camp alone, otherwise they will be punished as collaborating with the enemy. !"

The troops of the 29th Division were full of cheers after the victory, and there were bonfires and the smell of barbecue everywhere. On the other hand, the garrison troops of the 21st Division were quite miserable.

The 21st Division, which barely had two brigades left, had lost its morale to freezing point. The soldiers looked like walking dead, with no expression on their faces.

at the same time.......

Chapter 79

"Boss, boss, you can't take away our food, our family only has a few catties of food left, if you take it all away, how can we survive!"

"Go away! I won't let go and beat you to death!"

"The commander has an order, but all men over the age of 20 and under the age of 60 in the city are forced to assist our army in defending the city!"

"Help, help! Let go of my son..."

In Huqiu City, it is not uncommon for troops to grab food and conscripts to defend the city. The battle has not yet started, and people are already panicking!

As early as ten days ago, Wu Guangwei ordered the city to be closed, and no civilians were allowed to leave Huqiu City without permission. He was ready to carry the people's self-respect and bear the infamy, and he wanted to fight Xu Tianlu to the death!

Don't you, Xu Tianlu, serve the country and the people one by one?I will let the common people guard the city!

In the headquarters in the city, Wu Guangwei put down the phone weakly with two dark circles under his eyes. This is already the tenth Fengjun faction he has contacted, and almost no one is willing to support him!

Since ancient times, if you want to defend a city, you must have the following conditions, first, enough food, second, unity of heart, third, sufficient troops, fourth, there are reinforcements to rescue, fifth, there is danger to defend!

At these points, their 21st Division hardly occupied one of them. Even if Xu Tianlu just besieged and did not attack, their rations would bottom out in ten and a half months.

The soldiers of the 21st Division were retreating steadily, and the morale of the army had long been slackened. The little devil's reinforcements were repulsed by the 15th Division, and the foreign devils' troops were wiped out by Xu Tianlu. They have come to a dead end!

Ever since Xu Tianlu's army began to advance gradually from Qingshan County, Wu Guangwei hadn't had a good rest. Apart from eating and drinking, he was asking for help from various forces.

Just now, he also received a call from the high-level foreign devils, who asked him why he ignored the destruction of more than 3000 troops.

"Fuck, a bunch of trash!"

Wu Guangwei wanted to scold his mother, didn't you all boast that 3000 people should be 3 envoys? In the end, you couldn't even handle two fucking regiments, and you still have the face to question Lao Tzu!

"Commander! We found this on the city wall..."

The guard came in with a letter, which was discovered by the guards. There were a few words written on the envelope.

Ultimatum!

"I see, you go out!"

Wu Guangwei took a deep breath, opened the envelope and read it.

"Commander Wu, don't continue to struggle. You have no way out. The foreign devils with three thousand troops have become the ghosts of my 29th Division. Will the Fengjun factions in other provinces send troops for you?"

"Stop doing unnecessary resistance! Although Huqiu City is a heavy city, it has not been in war for many years. I don't know if the city defense is strong? My 29th Division has more than 115 troops, and the whole division has [-] artillery pieces. With twenty tons of shells!"

"And what about you? You have only two brigades under your command, but you still have to guard four city gates! No matter in terms of military strength, personnel combat effectiveness, or weapons and equipment, how will the remaining two brigades of yours compete with me? confrontation?"

"I'll give you a day to think about it. You can either surrender the city and merge your troops into our division, or just wait for our division's army to attack the city!"

"The suffering of the war and chaos suffered by the people of Huqiu will be borne by you. The day the city is destroyed, you will die!"

"Snapped!"

Wu Guangwei tore the letter paper into pieces, slammed it on the table, and angrily overturned the table. The sound of thunder and bang resounded throughout the room.

After all, it was nothing more than incompetent rage, facing Xu Tianlu's siege, he had no way to use it.

Of course, Xu Tianlu was not so idiotic as to ask Wu Guangwei to surrender with a little threat. The reason why he did this was just to let the old boy's last bit of confidence be crushed by him!

During this day, Xu Tianlu's ambushing people in the city also took action, spreading rumors everywhere, and started a psychological warfare against the enemy.

What kind of people from the logistics department ran away with money and their sister-in-law. The entire army of the 21st Division had only one day's food and grass left, and they were about to starve to death. Thinking that the food level has dropped again and again recently, many defenders of the city have begun to panic .

Then someone cut off the telephone line from Huqiu City to the outside of the city, completely losing contact with the outside world.

At the same time, Xu Tianlu also specially transferred soldiers from two regiments, and dug a tunnel without sleep at night, which might come in handy at a critical moment.

The time soon came to the time of the siege, and Xu Tianlu deliberately set the time of the siege at ten o'clock in the middle of the night!

"Fire!"

Following Xu Tianlu's order, the two artillery regiments of the 29th Division immediately launched shelling against the enemy's arrangement on the city wall!

Xu Tianlu has two artillery regiments under him. Currently, there are more than 100 artillery pieces that can be used. The combined strength of the two regiments is more than 5000 people!

Among them, half are professional artillerymen who have undergone systematic training, and the other half are mostly logistics and infantry that cooperate with operations.

These two artillery regiments are Xu Tianlu's bottom troops. Looking at the entire Fengtian province, there is no one with Xu Tianlu's artillery force.

Even in the entire Northeast, it is second to none. In this era, looking at the whole summer, there are only a few thousand advanced artillery pieces, and most of them are in the hands of Chang.Bayi Chinese Network

In order to make up for the lack of firepower, most warlords will organize the few heavy artillery in their hands into independent artillery regiments or artillery brigades, and use them uniformly to achieve the purpose of fire support!

Xu Tianlu's thoughts at the time also followed this example, pointing out that the artillery regiment that fought wherever it was attacked instantly became an invincible weapon for the 29th Division!

When encountering infantry who can't carry it down, don't talk nonsense, just use cannonballs, otherwise, what face do we, a traverser with a system, have?

"Order the artillery regiment to increase their firepower! It's a war now! I don't care who is defending the city, and no one can stop me from killing traitors!"

Xu Tianlu knew that at this time, any woman's benevolence would only bring more casualties, since he decided to fight, he would never hesitate!

The artillery regiment moved out all the cannons they could find, and concentrated their firepower to attack only one city wall. The defenders of the southern city wall were really miserable, and they were beaten so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up from the very beginning.

"Prepare for the second round! Listen to my password! Three! Two! One!"

The battalion commanders in charge of the grassroots command are in charge of a position. With the waving of the semaphore, the second round of shelling began!

They have fully adapted to this rhythm, just like the previous few times, they fired directly at the city wall!

"Boom!"
