The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

When a large number of heavy artillery from Zhangjiakou and Zhengtai Road were bombarding the little devil's position, several other columns also began to attack.

The 7th Column, located in Beiyuan County on the North China Plain, also began to attack. More than 3 people in the 3rd Column began to divide into two groups, attacking northward to threaten Shijiazhuang, and attacking eastward to cut off the railway from Shijiazhuang to Zhengzhou.

The 2nd and 3rd columns, located in Jingzhou City in the hinterland of central China, also began to pretend to attack Wuhan, attracting the little devils from the Central China Front Army, and preventing the little devils from reinforcing North China. Zhang Zizhong's nearly 2 troops were also cooperating with the 3nd and [-]rd columns. .

Zhangjiakou.

The No.30 Sixth Army's shelling has lasted for twenty minutes. Although the time was not very long, but with the fierce bombardment of more than 200 155mm howitzers, no matter how strong the little devil's position is, it cannot withstand such a dense attack. gunfire. [

In the past twenty minutes, more than 1 155mm howitzer shells fell on the defensive positions of the little devils. The little devils' positions were dilapidated, and many cement fortifications were completely destroyed.

Now, all the cannons began to carry out extended bombardment, preparing to bombard the city wall to the west of Zhangjiakou, and to completely collapse the city wall to the west of Zhangjiakou.

There are also many little devils stationed on the city wall. It is impossible for the little devils to give up the defense of this section of the city wall. There are a large number of soldiers from the No. 30 Sixth Army in the west of the city. The little devils can only bite the bullet and stick to the city wall.

The many little devils on the city wall saw that the huge defensive position in front of them was basically plowed several times by the fierce artillery fire of the No. 30 Sixth Army.A lot of dirt rolled up, and the little devils stationed there also suffered heavy casualties.

These little devils have long been a little afraid of the fierce artillery fire of the No.30 Sixth Army. The little devils saw that the artillery of the No.30 Sixth Army began to extend their shelling, and the overwhelming artillery fire extended all the way to the city wall where they were stationed. Little devils When they saw this scene, their faces were ashen.

A lot of little devils.Hiding tightly behind the battlements, trying to avoid these fierce artillery fire, next to the little devil's machine gun on the city wall.A few minutes ago, there were quite a few little devils, and now.These little devils all hid.

In less than two or three minutes, the No.3 Sixth Army's artillery fire extended to the city wall where the little devil was stationed. The shells hit the city wall accurately and made a loud noise.

There was an explosion, and the bricks and stones on the city wall flew randomly, mixed with the limbs and arms of many little devils, flying in all directions. After two or three rounds of shelling, several sections of the city wall began to collapse.

In the city.Little Devil Command.

All the high-level officials of the 10th Division and the 30th Division of the Little Devil have come together. Now, the high-level command system of the Little Devil is basically paralyzed. The battle in Zhangjiakou can only be decided by the high-level leaders of the two divisions.

The two division heads of the little devil.Their faces were very ugly, and the violent shelling outside the city continued. The two young devils felt extremely uncomfortable, but they didn't have a good countermeasure for the time being.

Both of them thought in their hearts, is it necessary to persist like this?If this continues, I'm afraid the troops will be wiped out.I am afraid that Zhangjiakou will be difficult to defend.

The other senior officers of the little devils all stood silently by the side, waiting for the decision of the two little devils division commanders. Outside, the casualties of the little devils were not small, and the hearts of all the little devils officers uncomfortable.

When the group of little devils hadn't come up with a good countermeasure, suddenly, a little devil commander broke in. The little devil's commander was covered in blood, he was in a panic, and he was out of breath. He obviously just ran over from the front battlefield. .

As soon as he entered the command, the little devil commander didn't bother to salute, but said sadly and anxiously: "Your Excellency, the two division commanders, the No. 30 Sixth Army outside the city has begun to bombard the city, and the troops defending the city have suffered casualties. It’s so big that it’s almost impossible to defend, and the city wall has collapsed in many sections, I’m afraid it won’t be long before the troops of the No.30 Sixth Army outside will rush over.”

Hearing this, the faces of the two little devil division heads changed again, and became a little gloomy.

The head of the 30th Division said: "Nopei-kun, the No.30 Sixth Army's offensive is so fierce outside, what do you think? Is there any good way?"

The 10th Division of the Little Devils is a Type A division. At the critical moment, the head of the 30th Division still wanted to ask Shinichi Nodaira for advice. In fact, Yuji Tanaka, the head of the 30th Division, had already planned in his mind.

If Zhangjiakou had only one division of his own, Tanaka Yuji would have taken his own troops, abandoned Zhangjiakou and retreated towards Beiping. Although Zhangjiakou's strategic location is very important, in Tanaka Yuji's view, it is completely unnecessary to hold on here . [

However, there is still the 10th Division now, and the 10th Division is a Class A division, so we still need to seek the opinions of Nohira Shinichi, otherwise, Nohira Shinichi will sue himself after the war, saying that he abandoned the city If you run away, you will have to suffer.

After listening to the words of the head of the 30th Division of the little devil, Nohira Shinobu, the head of the 10th Division, pondered for a while, and did not answer first. Instead, he asked his chief of staff: "Mr. Have you received a reply to the telegram you sent?"

The little devil's chief of staff stood at attention, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, division chief, there is no reply from Tianjin yet."

Hearing this, the head of the little devil's division was a little angry, thinking in his heart, what exactly is the newly established North China Front Army Command doing, and why is it so inefficient.

Now, in North China, several places are being aggressively attacked by the No.30 Sixth Army at the same time. Many telegrams from the little devils have been sent to Tianjin, but the North China Front Army Command in Tianjin has only just been established, and there is a shortage of various personnel, especially Little Devils Senior Commander.

Now, even the newly appointed Nishio Hiszo himself was overwhelmed by the sudden news, and it was impossible to deal with it in a short period of time. Therefore, he did not call Zhangjiakou back.

The little devil's chief of staff saw that his division chief's face changed, and he felt a little nervous, so he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, the battle is urgent now, and in a special period, I suggest that we make up our own minds. Let’s wait for Tianjin’s instructions.”

Hey, it seems that this is the only way to go, Nobuichi Nohira, the head of the little devil's division, sighed, and thought in his heart, it seems that this is the only way to go, and he can only make up his own mind.

But now whether to stick to it and wait for reinforcements; or to abandon Zhangjiakou and retreat towards Beiping, Nodaira Shinichi is still a little undecided.

Nohira Shinichi walked up and down in front of a group of little devil officers, weighing the pros and cons.

outside the city.

The No.30 Sixth Army's bombardment was coming to an end. Under the fierce attack of more than 200 cannons, the city wall in the west of Zhangjiakou was beyond recognition, and many places collapsed. More than two-thirds of the guards were killed or injured.

The troops of the 6th and 8th columns, which were about to attack, had already begun to attack.

Under the leadership of two tank regiments and two mechanized infantry regiments, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards the little devil's defensive position with shouts, and the soldiers were like a rainbow.

The defense of the little devils was blown to pieces. Of the six or seven thousand little devils stationed in the position, three or four thousand have been killed. The remaining little devils are not dizzy, but have not recovered from the shelling. , that is, he was seriously injured and basically lost the ability to resist.

There were less than a thousand little devils in the entire little devil's position. Seeing a large number of soldiers from the No.30 Sixth Army rushing up, they began to brace themselves in a panic and prepare to resist. The rest of the little devils were not alone. The numbness of his face means that he was too seriously injured and lost his combat effectiveness.

Nearly a hundred Type 39 tanks, hundreds of Type 39 armored personnel carriers, and more than 200 off-road vehicles pulled up an attack formation with a width of two to 3000 meters, and slowly drove towards the little devil's position. Behind these tanks , followed closely by several infantry regiments.

Gradually, the soldiers approached the little devil's position. The surviving little devils saw a large number of tanks of the No.30 Sixth Army slowly approaching.

Suddenly, there were bursts of shooting on the little devil's position.

The bullets fired by the little devils hit the dozens of Type 39 tanks leading the way, making a series of "clang, clang, clang" sounds, sparking a series of sparks.

The black muzzles of Type 39 tanks were aimed at the little devils. Whenever they saw three or four little devils, they fired a cannon with a "boom", blowing these little devils away. Sporadic one or two little devils, these Type 39 tanks don't bother to pay attention.

These little devils who resisted sporadically were directly handed over to the follow-up troops who followed closely behind.A large number of armored personnel carriers, off-road vehicles, and a large number of soldiers holding AK47 assault rifles wiped out these sporadic little devils one by one. [

On the little devil's position, there are big pits everywhere. All the tanks are moving very slowly, not much faster than the infantry's charge speed, but fortunately, the violent shelling just now has made wide strips on the little devil's position. The trenches were basically flattened, so they could just drive right through.

The bunkers of some little devils were also blown down. In order to prevent the Chinese army from charging, the little devils set up many roadblocks before, and now these roadblocks have also been blown up. With the excellent off-road capabilities of tanks, armored vehicles, and off-road vehicles Ability, just to be able to advance on the pitted position of the little devil.

Although the march was slow, in less than 10 minutes, most of the soldiers rushed to the little devil's defensive position, and everyone began to advance deeply into the little devil's position.
