Age of Rebirth

Chapter 650: Neiji Okamura's Secret Weapon

Neji Okamura surrounded Huangya Cave tightly, but did not do anything for a long time. The Battle of Guanshan started. Under the strict order of Neji Okamura, the Japanese army forcibly attacked Feng Jiwu regardless of fatigue and the combat effectiveness and physical strength of the soldiers. The army's Guanshan position launched an attack. I don't know if it was out of arrogance, or the Japanese army, which was mainly composed of the Kwantung Army, didn't pay attention to the Chinese squadron at all. They only used two regiments. Under the cover of Feng Jiwu's army, he launched an attack on Feng Jiwu's [-]-strong regiment.

The attack of hitting the stone with an egg doomed the fate of the Japanese army. Feng Jiwu's troops swallowed the fat delivered to their mouths without blinking an eye. But the decision with great success, the superiority in military strength and firepower, waiting for work at leisure, coupled with new victories, the Japanese army's follow-up troops will have time to deploy in the future, all the favorable conditions are on Feng Jiwu's side, if the Japanese army can gain a firm foothold, Eighty thousand against sixty thousand can only be a confrontation, and he does not want to fight a protracted positional war.

When the order was issued, more than 8 soldiers swept away like a storm, and they collided with more than 6 Japanese soldiers head-on, splashing blood all over the sky. Fighting started from the front, the sound of gunfire shook the sky, the sound of guns rumbled, the smoke covered the sun, and the sound of shouting and killing was endless. The Japanese army threw thousands of corpses and was repelled for more than [-] kilometers. .

Heshun is a relatively large town between Licheng and Yangquan, with about a few thousand households, surrounded by ancient city walls, and the long-dried moat bed is covered with luxuriant wormwood, desolate and desolate everywhere. It's just that at this time, the city is already empty, like a ghost land, only a hundred wild dogs can go home, barking to welcome the tired Japanese soldiers who almost vomit blood. The green-lighted wild dogs bared their teeth and rushed at the Japanese soldiers. The wild dogs were greeted by dense scorpions, but they brought long-lost meat to the Japanese soldiers. [

The Japanese army, with less than [-] troops, retreated peacefully, and they dared not retreat again. Commander Neiji Okamura ordered to attack. Being repelled by the Chinese army is already a matter of great embarrassment. When did the Kwantung Army suffer such a big loss? Before the battle even started, they reorganized and lost two field regiments, and lost thousands of people piecemeal. Heshun was used as a base for another attack.

Feng Jiwu commanded the troops, and almost drove them to Heshun City. Thousands of Japanese rear guards who had time to enter the city were swept away by the vanguard of Feng Jiwu's troops, and more than half of them were lost. In the city, immediately after, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and [-] Gails fired wildly, weaving into impenetrable fire nets.

Feng Jiwu immediately ordered the troops to stop the siege, and surrounded Heshun from all sides. He was not fully sure of this kind of tough battle. Feng Jiwu would not make such a low-level mistake. He had enough patience to spend it with the little devil, and surrounded Heshun With a large group of Japanese troops, Neiji Okamura could not be unmoved. As long as he mobilized troops to rescue, he would have made due contributions to reducing the pressure in the direction of Huangyadong.

He secretly rejoiced that the Japanese army did not confront him in the wild. In that case, the next battle would not be easy to fight. Persevere, though, and he'll soon regret his decision so much that he wants to hit a wall.

The city of Heshun is extremely spacious. You can choose any number of vacant houses, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The wells have been re-dug, and the soldiers can already drink cool well water. Heating is not a problem. The soldiers of the army showed their ingenuity, and all the things that could be burned were used. The camping house was as warm as spring, and the most terrible thing was food. The entire Japanese army had only five days of food before attacking Guanshan give.

A huge empty city, more than 5 mouths, five days of food, outside the city is the Chinese army that can't be seen at a glance, the Japanese army commander has a splitting headache, and can't stop scolding "stupid pigs, idiots and baga", but they don't know Is he scolding his staff or himself, but he never admits that he made a mistake in command, did not establish a blocking position outside the city, and became trapped in an isolated city now, and he never admits that he was frightened and confused at the time, just seeing the thick city wall , Did not think of the food in hand.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and send a telegram for help to Commander Neiji Okamura in the Huangya Cave in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains with a fragile heart of being insulted. He truthfully reported the difficulties faced by the troops. No problem, as long as there is enough food and supplies, he believes in the bravery of the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

However, what is lacking now is food and supplies. It is not that he has never thought of breaking out. Your Excellency Commander’s order is to attack Niangziguan and Taiyuan. Breaking out is another way of attack. Facing the siege of the superior Chinese army, there is no foreign aid. In this case, different from committing suicide, he had only one request in the telegram, to send reinforcements or donate to them. The soldiers of the Chinese army outside the city have built a large number of positions in a short period of time. I am afraid that as soon as the city gate is opened, It was the dense firepower of the Chinese army that was splashing head-on.

Neji Okamura sent back a telegram, ordering him to stay in Heshun for at least five days. Within five days, the situation will definitely change in favor of the Imperial Army. What kind of medicine is sold here, five days, after five days, I have to drink northwest wind, no need to fight, just Chinese soldiers come to the city to collect the corpse.

Not only did the retreating Japanese army commander not understand, but the entire North China Dispatch Army did not understand why this commander, His Excellency, concentrated all the main assault forces in the barren land of the Taihang Mountains, and let the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli , 10,000+ imperial troops are fighting in Shijiazhuang, and there is a vague tendency to threaten Beiping and Tianjin.

The senior generals of the Japanese army were quite critical in their hearts. The Taihang Mountain fascinated the Commander, and the smaller Huangyadong area made the Commander crazy. More than 20 troops were assembled in a place as big as a palm, just for an insignificant The way the new commander used his troops really made people wonder. If Shijiazhuang and Heshun didn't go to the rescue, what on earth did he want to do?To say that Your Excellency Commander is unpredictable is to say that he is paranoid, for the sake of Huangyadong, he actually ignored the interests of the Chinese Empire in North China.

All the senior commanders of the Japanese army did not understand the good intentions of Ningji Okamura. Huangyadong must be taken. Neji Okamura is too underestimated. With 24 troops, only 6 are actually used to attack Huangyadong. On the way, cast a big net, waiting for Tang Qiuli's reinforcements to arrive.

Okamura Ningji didn't believe it. Tang Qiuli looked at his supply base and was not in a hurry when he was surrounded by heavy troops. He made some moves, and the fate of tens of thousands of soldiers was enough to make Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, turn his attention to Come here, in China's military book, there is a saying to encircle and fight for aid. Huangya Cave is the bait, and the troops ambushing from all directions are the hooks for fishing. Tang Qiuli's troops will destroy him as soon as they come.

Okamura Ningji did not act for a long time, just to observe Tang Qiuli's reaction and give him time to dispatch troops. Also, from the failure lessons of the Kinyama Ryuichi Brigade, Okamura Ningji understood a truth. Yadong relies on the dangerous terrain and solid fortifications. No matter how many troops go up, it is impossible for his own troops to break through the defense system of the independent division. He is waiting for a secret weapon. With him, no matter how hard the fortification is, It is difficult to escape the fate of being destroyed, which is another main reason why he has not done anything.

Now, the secret armed forces have finally been transported to the front line of Huangyadong. After the installation is completed, they are waiting to drink the blood of the Chinese soldiers. Today is a good weather, and we can attack. The willows on the sunny slopes, with bulging spores on the dark red branches, and a few pieces of fresh green in the withered grass, quietly stick their heads out, and the Taihang Mountains in mid-April are already faintly visible. Alluring spring colors.

This is an ordinary fine weather, but the soldiers who experienced the first day of the Huangyadong defense battle recalled the scene many years later, and said with lingering fear, "The sky is falling and the earth is falling." Just this sentence, a muffled sound, Then the earth trembled, and in the distant sky, there was a screaming sound of objects piercing the air. The soldiers almost suspected that it was Chunlei, but Chunlei was not so dull.

There was an explosion, a huge cloud of gunpowder smoke, mixed with countless soil and rock fragments, flew up in the air, and the entire core area of ​​Huangya Cave trembled violently in the explosion. Before the soldiers could react, the explosion sound One after another, rocks flew, trees fell, mountains trembled, and the ground shook.

Chang Feng slept very late last night. It felt like he was awakened by the violent shaking of the camp bed as soon as he closed his eyes. A lump of soil fell from the cave wall above his head. Chang Feng got up quickly. His first reaction was, The Japanese army began to attack. He grabbed the phone and asked about the situation at the front.There is only the rustling sound of the current in the earphones, and there is no echo.

He grabbed the submachine gun and rushed out, bumping head-on with a staff officer. The staff officer was covered in mud and dust, as if he was a soldier who had just crawled out of a trench. A large-scale bombardment was carried out on our defensive positions outside Huangyadong, and all wired connections to the front were cut off, and now we are activating wired and radio communications, and the details are being verified." Although the voice of the report was clear, there was a hint of panic. [

Chang Feng looked at his watch. At 45:15, the Japanese army had been bombarding for [-] minutes, and it was on the outskirts. The staff officer had been at the headquarters all along, and had no mission to go to the front. It was as if he had fought a bad battle. Chang Feng couldn't help but feel puzzled.
