Chapter 653: Encirclement and Annihilation of the 34th Army
Anan's Geometry Brigade was extremely cruel, leaving no one alive within a five-mile radius.
Lian Hongyi was angry, and the officers and soldiers commanding the artillery regiment kept firing poison gas bombs.
He kept chanting, "Poison gas bombs! Gas these evil devils to death."
Because the Chinese troops had no poison gas bombs, most of the Japanese soldiers were too lazy to wear gas masks.
The Japanese soldiers of Anan Geometry Brigade are no exception. Today they will have to pay for their laziness.
One after another, poison gas bombs fell into the group of Japanese soldiers, and green gas spread throughout the valley.
The Japanese soldiers who were frantically blocking the enemy suddenly panicked and wet towels to cover their mouths and noses.
To boost morale, Anamiji shouted loudly on the radio: "Warriors of the Empire! The 34th Chinese Army only has a few poison gas bombs. Once they are all used up, they will be gone. Hold on. The commander of our brigade has asked Commander Okamura to send bombers to attack. The Inoue Regiment and the Takahashi Battalion are also heading here."
Needless to say, he underestimated the poison gas bombs possessed by the 34th Army.
Xiang Chu followed the sound and finally found the location of Anan Jihe.
Between the valleys, there is a house built of flat stones.
The bodies of the family were hung on the willow tree behind the house, having been mutilated beyond recognition by the Japanese invaders.
Xiang Chu picked up the megaphone and shouted, "Hongyi! Azimuth 80, distance 900 meters, in the valley under the big willow tree and stone house, heavy artillery bombards the Japanese brigade commander."
"Yes!"
Hongyi accepted the order with firmness.
"Boom! Boom!" Two loud noises.
Two 88mm shells flew towards the stone house where Anan Jihe was.
The stone house was hit by two shells and collapsed on the spot, and no one came out.
As the poison gas spread throughout the valley, the sound of gunfire gradually ceased.
Yu Xiaowan reminded: "Brother Chu! We should send troops to sweep the valley."
"It makes sense!"
Xiang Chu nodded and ordered loudly, "Stop firing poison gas bombs! Gan Rong! The elite commandos put on gas masks and bulletproof vests and quickly sweep the entire valley. Kill all the devils without mercy. Action!"
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
Two thousand elite commandos spread out in a line and rushed into the valley like a gust of wind.
The sound of submachine gun fire rang out one after another, echoing throughout the valley, killing all the Japanese soldiers who were still alive.
The smoke from the poison gas bombs gradually dissipated, and the elite commandos wiped out all the Japanese soldiers in the valley.
A large number of tanks, cars, artillery, guns and ammunition, food, mules and horses, etc. were also seized.
Xiang Chu loudly ordered: "The relief team will treat the wounded and handle the aftermath. The quartermaster and logistics departments will go into the valley to collect the spoils. All divisions and regiments are ready to assemble at the east side of the valley entrance to prepare to fight the Inoue Regiment and Takahashi Battalion of the Japanese."
"Yes!"
The division and regiment commanders hurriedly received the order.
Zhang Fei hurriedly reported: "Commander! The scouts on the front line reported that the Japanese regiment and battalion turned back to the east and probably dared not come over."
Xiang Chu said disappointedly: "How can you not come?!"
Yu Xiaowan said angrily: "Brother Chu! I feel like you are showing off."
"Get lost!"
Xiang Chu rubbed her head affectionately.
Kong Ling said happily: "Fifty thousand! I will report the battle situation immediately."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Okay! Report it, so that others won't take the credit for your work."
Kong Ling sent a telegram to Song Xi, the Ninth War Zone Command, and the Supreme Command, reporting the 34th Division's annihilation of most of Anan's Geometry Brigade.
Soon, Song Xi replied to the telegram: "Great! But Zeng Yun complained to our 34th Army again, saying that we will not go to rescue the 1st Special Division."
Kong Ling was shocked and immediately replied to the telegram: "At that time, our army and Anan had been fighting hard in Huilong Valley. The 1st Special Division came to take credit, but they did not expect to encounter a passing troop. They collapsed at the first blow and there was no need for rescue."
Song Xi replied to the message: "Zeng Yun is not a fighter at all, don't pay too much attention to him."
At this time, the 34th Army radio station sounded.
Yu Xiaowan copied the decoded message and said with a wry smile, "Brother Chu! Zeng Yun said that the 2nd Special Division was surrounded by a regiment and a battalion of the Japanese again in Jiangjiakou, and ordered our 34th Army to rescue them."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "This old man lost two divisions in one day. He is really not cut out for fighting."
Kong Ling sneered and said, "No! I will report to the Supreme Command and sue Zeng Yun. If that doesn't work, I will give way to him."
"slow!"
Xiang Chu advised, and ordered Yu Xiaowan, "Xiaowan! Ask the shadow spies on the front line what happened to the Special 2nd Division? Also, ask about the specific locations of the Inoue Regiment and Takahashi Battalion of the Japanese."
"it is good!"
Yu Xiaowan hurriedly took the order and quickly sent the telegram.
Not long after, I received a message from the frontline spy:
"Commander! The 2nd Special Division also collapsed at the first blow. The Japanese Inoue Regiment and Takahashi Battalion are marching eastward, seemingly intending to attack Miluo City."
Xiang Chu sent a telegram to Zeng Yun: "Commander Zeng! The 2nd Special Division collapsed at the first blow and no longer needs to be rescued. The Japanese Inoue Regiment and Gaoqiao Battalion are marching eastward and will attack Miluo City. Please be prepared."
Kong Ling looked at his telegram and said with a smile: "You might as well add a sentence. Our army is in the midst of a fierce battle with Anan's Geometry Brigade. This way he won't let you lead your troops to protect him right away."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu happily said that he would send the telegram according to her instructions.
Soon, I received another telegram from Zeng Yun:
"Don't exaggerate. Your army has two days to reach Miluo."
Kong Ling was so angry that she snatched the message back: "Zeng Yun! You change your orders every day, is that interesting? Our 34th Army is fighting bloody battles with the Japanese, and you don't send troops to help, but why are you making things difficult for us? Kong Ling!"
After Kong Ling sent the telegram, he immediately sent a telegram to the Supreme Command to report Zeng Yun.
Zeng Yun had not responded to the telegram, indicating that he felt somewhat guilty about the loss of two divisions.
Now his troops only consist of Zheng Leisheng's Special 3rd Division and Lin Qiaoer's Mixed 1st Division, and the total number of people is only slightly more than that of the 34th Army.
Wuhan, the office of the commander-in-chief of the Japanese 11th Army.
When Okamura Ningchi learned that most of Anan's brigade had been destroyed by the 34th Army, he was furious.
He yelled loudly: "Baga! How come the 34th Army is so powerful?"
Ono Chika suggested: "Commander! Why not order the three divisions of Sendai, Kagoshima, and Kumamoto to quickly cross the Miluo River and encircle and annihilate the Chinese 3th Army?"
Okamura Ningchi nodded and said, "Yoshi! Ono-kun! Issue an order immediately, ordering all troops to seize the opportunity to force a crossing of the Miluo River. Those who cross the river first and build a bridgehead will be rewarded handsomely!"
"Hello!"
Ono Zhihua bowed and accepted the order, then turned and ran out of the room.
Okamura Ningchi was still furious and called Major General Takeda of the Army Aviation Corps, saying urgently, "Major General Takeda! Quickly send a squadron of bombers to Huilongshan to bomb the 34th Chinese Army."
However, Major General Takeda smiled bitterly and said, "Commander! It's six o'clock in the evening now. It's already dark. It's too dangerous for bombers to take off and land. Why don't we bomb tomorrow?"
Okamura Ningchi glanced out the window and saw that night had fallen. He could only say helplessly:
"Okay! Then bomb tomorrow."
At this time, Ono Zhihua ran in and said happily:
"Commander! Doihara Kenji has just led the elite Jigang Team to forcefully cross the Miluo River, established a bridgehead, and scared off the Chinese 3rd Special Division on the south bank of the Miluo River."
Okamura Ningchi praised: "Yoshi! Doihara Ken'er finally achieved a little bit of military merit. Quick! Notify the three divisions including Kagoshima to quickly cross the Miluo River, capture Miluo City, and encircle and annihilate the 3th Army."
"Hello!"
Ono Zhihua hurriedly accepted the order.
