Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 136: Drive the people to attack the city

() As Chen Feng said when he held a military meeting in Datong, if it is not what he wants just to repel the Japanese army's attack, it is not his style of doing things. That Chen Feng is still the current Chen Feng, he is a person who pursues what is best for his interests, so Chen Feng's goal in this battle is not just to keep the three-acre land in Suinan.

According to Chen Feng's plan, when Du Li's Seventh Division launched an attack on the enemies of Tianzhen, he would personally lead three police brigades and security regiments to approach Zhangjiakou, an important town in southern Chaer.After fully mobilizing the main force of the Japanese army, Yehelina was ordered to lead the cavalry group with the cooperation of the special warfare division to attack the suburbs of Beiping in two ways, to give the Japanese army a strong deterrent to the North China front army center, and then including Du The three-way army including the Li Seventh Division quickly turned around, and the Japanese Army Yamashita Fengwen's troops were completely surrounded and wiped out in northern Hebei and southern Chacha.

When fighting against Japan, Chen Feng has always believed in the concept that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt his ten fingers.This is true of Norihide Abe's Du Li Mixed Brigade, and so is Takako Moriichi's Fourth Cavalry Brigade. Of course, the same will be true of Yamashita Fufumi's Chinese Garrison Mixed Brigade.

On January 1938, 1, the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Fifth and Tenth Divisions of the Japanese Army outside Datong City launched an attack on Datong City with the cooperation of a small number of puppet troops.At the same time, the Japanese Army's Yamashita Brigade outside Tianzhen City once again launched an attack on the defenders of Tianzhen City. In addition, the North China Front Army Temporary Air Corps dispatched more than 25 fighters of various types at one time to attack the 300st Army-controlled Datong, Fengzhen, Counties such as Tianzhen, Xinghe, and Jining carried out high-intensity bombing.When there were no major battles in South China or Central China for the time being, North China attracted the attention of the whole country.

Regarding the attack of the Japanese army, all the soldiers of the 61st Army fought back bravely with the same enemy. With the outer positions of Datong as the line, they fought for every inch of the Japanese army. The battle between the two sides entered a fierce state from the beginning. They even carried out air defense operations. In the face of the powerful attack capabilities of the air defense brigade, the temporary aviation regiment of the Japanese army once again broke its wings in northern Shanxi, leaving behind the wreckage of more than 30 fighter planes and fled over the city of Datong in a panic.

But in terms of offensive and defensive operations. Although the 101st Division occupies the right time, place, people and various advantages.However, when facing the two permanent divisions of the Japanese Army, they still felt great pressure. Li Wensheng, the commander of the 101st Division and the commander of the Datong Garrison, went to the top of the city three times a day to observe the battle situation.

The situation in Tianzhen is not very good either, after two days of fighting.The 403rd Regiment of the Du Li Seventh Division stationed in Tianzhen suffered a lot.More than 400 people in the regiment have suffered more than 1000 casualties.Although there were only more than 300 people killed in the battle, the strength of more than 2000 people stationed in Nuoda Tianzhen County is indeed a bit weak.

After a morning's battle, the front at the south gate of Tianzhen was crumbling.If Xu Jiangang, the head of the 403rd Regiment, hadn't sent his Jingwei company up, and at the same time transferred half of the high-shelf machine guns of the 403rd Regiment, Nanmen might have fallen today.

Of course, compared to the casualties of the 403 regiment, the casualties of the Japanese puppet army cannot be described as heavy, but should be described as quite heavy.There are only 7000 people left in the mountain brigade with more than 7000 people still fighting, and the cavalry divisions of the two puppet troops are even worse. Less than half of the [-] people are left. The two-and-a-half days of fighting lost a total of [-] people. There were more than five hundred people, which made Yamashita Fengwen, who had always been known as a brave general, very embarrassed.

It took 7000 people to attack a small county town stationed by an ordinary infantry regiment in Zhina, and it took two and a half days to fight. This in itself is shameful enough, not to mention losing nearly 500 people. Fengwen is unacceptable in any case.

Although the Front Army Command had already informed Yamashita Fengwen, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade would arrive in Tianzhen by train tonight.But Fengwen Yamashita did not want to use the power of the heavy artillery brigade to capture Tianzhen, so he ordered the troops to capture a large number of Chinese farmers from the Huai'an area, and forced them to charge forward with machine guns, while the Japanese army followed the farmers and gradually Approach the city wall of Sky Town.

"Tuan Zuo, it's not good. The little devils drove the common people to attack the city. The soldiers don't know what to do. Go and have a look!" He Haihong, the commander of the 403 regiment's guards, hurried into the regiment headquarters and said.

Xu Jiangang threw the pencil on the table, grabbed the helmet hanging on the wall and rushed out, and then Bayan Jiri, the deputy head of the 403 regiment, also hurried out.

Standing on the top of the city, Xu Jiangang saw the most frightening scene in his life. More than 1000 Chinese peasants in ragged clothes rushed towards the city wall of Tianzhen under the threat of Japanese bayonets. About a brigade The elite Japanese army followed closely behind the common people.What chilled Xu Jiangang the most was that many ordinary people were strapped with bulging explosive bags. If these people were allowed to get close, no matter how thick the city wall was, it would be useless.

Seeing the crowd gradually approaching, Xu Jiangang didn't know what to choose for a moment. Once he gave the order to shoot, those innocent people would be the first to die.But if he doesn't give the order to shoot, then the Japanese themselves will be able to move under the city wall very quickly. Even if the explosive bags tied to the common people can't play a role, the Japanese army's blasting technology can quickly blow down the city wall of Tianzhen.

"Tuan Zuo, I think we should ask the military seat for instructions. No one dares to order such a thing lightly." Chief of Staff Zhou Haitao suggested.

"No, it's too late, everyone is there. Immediately shout to the people in the city to stop charging immediately, and we will shoot if we go forward. In addition, with 150 meters as the boundary, no matter whether it is ordinary people or the Japanese army, as long as they dare to cross this Just shoot immediately, don't be shy, I will take responsibility for any accident!" Xu Jiangang ordered harshly.

"Tuan Zuo, they are all Chinese!" Chief of Staff Zhou Haitao shouted in disbelief.

"What's the matter with the Chinese? We are soldiers, and we shoulder the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the enemy. If we retreat today, it doesn't matter if Tianzhen City is lost, even if Datong City is lost. Take advantage of our weaknesses, and whenever they can't take down that city, they will drive our people to attack the city. In less than a year, the whole of China will fall, so we can't open this hole. Now listen to my orders and shout !!!”

"Yes"

"Folks, don't run anymore, we will shoot you if you run again"

"Please, don't run anymore, we will shoot you if you run again"

On a hillside not far from the battlefield, Fengwen Yamashita looked at the entire battlefield with a stern expression.Ferocious eyes looked around.It seems to want to find the most fatal weakness of this small city of China, and then give the most hearty blow, completely smashing the shell of this Chinese turtle.

"Jito-kun, do you think the Chinese will shoot?".Yamashita Fengwen asked coldly.

The chief of staff, Shigeto Hiromitsu, replied in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander. If I were the commander of the garrison, I would definitely order the troops to shoot. But if it was replaced by the Chinese. I think they will not shoot. Because the Chinese people are so cowardly, they have not yet realized the cruelty of war."

"I hope so!" Yamashita Fengwen said lightly.

However, what happened next was far beyond Hiromitsu Shigeto's expectations.The Chinese squadron on the city wall not only fired, but also fired.I saw that the front was sweeping with machine guns, while the rear was bombarded with artillery.The ordinary people who were forcibly expelled by the Japanese army fled in all directions after being attacked. Although the Japanese army shot and killed many people, more people escaped.

"Baga, Baga! Road!" Yamashita Honkumi roared angrily, threw the binoculars hard on Shigeto Hiromitsu's face, and then walked away.

At the head of Tianzhen City, all the officers and soldiers burst into tears. They did not expect that one day they would shoot at the folks in their hometown, and they would shoot so hard.Looking at the corpses all over the ground, everyone's heart was bleeding, especially seeing that there were so many old people and children who were shot, and all the soldiers felt a kind of grief of dying with the Japanese army.

And Xu Jiangang even bit his lips, the moment Xu Jiangang gave the order, his heart died.But that order had to be given, and in front of this group of Japanese beasts, this was an inextricable knot.If you shoot, you will die, if you don't shoot, the city will be destroyed.But Xu Jiangang is very clear that even if the city is broken, few of these ordinary people will survive, and the Japanese themselves will not leave evidence for things like this.In addition, there was another reason why Xu Jiangang ordered the shooting, but he did not intend to tell anyone about this reason, and he wanted to take it into the coffin.

Without the containment of the common people, the Japanese attack was smashed time and time again by the angry defenders. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese puppet army left another [-] or [-] corpses on the ground and withdrew.

The atmosphere in the 3403 Regiment Headquarters was extremely oppressive. The head of the regiment, Xu Jiangang, drove everyone out. He lay on the table alone and cried loudly, his voice was mournful.The deputy head of the 403rd regiment and the chief of staff outside the regiment headquarters were also crying silently, and a large number of soldiers also had red eyes. What happened today has exceeded their imagination, and Ri himself's shamelessness has trampled on the hearts of these young people bottom line.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, although the sad atmosphere of the regiment headquarters still exists, Xu Jiangang has already let the staff of the regiment headquarters work inside.

At this time, the radio station of the regiment headquarters suddenly rang "tick tick tick tick", and then the operator handed a telegram to Xu Jiangang's desk, and said loudly: "Report to the regiment, the division headquarters is calling."

Xu Jiangang took a look at the telegram and said loudly: "Everyone, the master called and said that the main force of our Du Li Seventh Division has passed the Shifo Temple, and has already exchanged fire with the security forces of the Japanese Army's Yamashita Brigade. The large army is retreating, and in half an hour the army will be able to relieve the danger of Tianzhen."

"Okay, his nainai's is finally here, the day lily I was waiting for is cold!!!"

"Great, we won!!!"

Just as Xu Jiangang finished announcing the news, the entire regiment was in a complete uproar, and the soldiers finally showed smiles on their faces.

"Ji ri, you take the brothers from Jingwei Company to the gate of the city to meet the division seat, and I'll be there after I take care of some things." Xu Jiangang stopped the soldiers from cheering, and then said to the deputy head of the 403 regiment.

Bayanjiri didn't doubt that he was there, so he led them out of the regiment headquarters without hesitation. (To be continued..)

ps: ps: I originally arranged for the character 'Qin Wuyang' to appear on the stage today, but later I felt that the birth scene is not very suitable now, and it will be the most suitable in a few days, so here I apologize to the book friend "the sunset de ends".In addition, I want to explain that Aotian is very careful in arranging each character, and will never let them take the lead and dive forever. Aotian hopes to create every character with flesh and blood, so several of them have not yet been born. Book friends, please wait a little longer, as long as Aotian left a message on the old-fashioned collection site, he will arrange to appear, and he will never break his promise.
