Glorious Mission 1937

() Just as Li Wensheng's troops were gearing up in Daqinggou, the 223rd Brigade in Daheishan, the Jingbei Brigade in Daqingshan, and another part of the 222nd Brigade in the Ertaizi area all received telegrams from the division headquarters.

The division headquarters ordered the reserve brigade to immediately dispatch a battalion to Xinpingbao to establish a blocking position to prevent the main force of the Japanese army on the front line of Tianzhen from coming for reinforcements. If you don't arrive, you can retreat by yourself.

In addition, all the troops immediately marched towards Xinghe County, and must arrive at the predetermined location within two hours, waiting for the final order from the division headquarters.

The battle outside the county seat was still going on, and since the force used for the attack had been reduced to 1000, Kihide Abe gave up the tactic of attacking the main direction on all sides, and turned into a tactic of encircling three and missing one main force to attack the east gate.Kihide Abe placed half a brigade in the north and south directions of the county seat, and all the puppet troops were also transferred to these two gates. It seemed that there were quite a number of people, but in fact the real Japanese army had less than 1000 people.In the east gate, however, the Japanese army has placed three brigades, all of which are real Japanese troops. As for Ximen, no soldiers have been released.

The north and south directions were just feint attacks, and the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops was not very violent.However, at the east gate, the Japanese army used all light and heavy weapons and attacked extremely violently.Norihide Abe's idea is very simple. Since the breakthrough across the board cannot be achieved, then he intends to hit all the forces to attack one point, so as to achieve the effect of causing the defenders to collapse across the board.

On the road leading to Zhangbei County, Nakazuo Okubo Taro sat restlessly on the chariot. It can be said that today is his most unlucky day in the past few decades.Yesterday's attack caused his mixed brigade to lose more than 20 tanks and more than 900 soldiers. In just one day, his troops lost about half.

This morning he planned to lead the rest of the troops to avenge their shame, but he received news that his backyard was on fire, and the hateful Chinese troops attacked his station, and Zhangbei County was in danger.

"Order, speed up, be sure to return to Zhangbei within three hours." Okubo Taro ordered loudly.

"Hay!"

"Brother, there is a long and narrow rock ditch ahead, so I think you should send a sharp soldier to conduct a fire reconnaissance." Okubo Jiro, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but reminded seeing his brother's violent emotions.

"Jiro, are you familiar with the terrain here?" Okubo Taro asked with a smile.

"In the eighth year of the Showa era, I went here with General Itagaki to carry out a mission. On the surface, I accompanied General Itagaki to visit his old classmate Yan Xishan. In fact, it was to find out the actual combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army. We visited some important military sites in Shanxi, Suiyuan, and Chahar provinces on the spot, and we walked this road no less than three times, so the memory is relatively deep." Jiro Okubo replied.

"The search is dead (so it is)! Jiro, do you think the hateful Chinese will ambush us in front?" Okubo Taro asked in a deep voice.

"Very likely, since the Chinese can divide their troops to attack your garrison without anyone noticing, it means that the information collected by the intelligence agency is almost always wrong, and the actual strength of the Chinese people may only be known by themselves. I know. If there are enough troops, the Chinese are likely to plant an ambush here, and even if they can't seriously injure the imperial army, they can still achieve the purpose of slowing down the reinforcements."

"Hehehe, not bad, Jiro, the Imperial Army University has not been in vain these past few years, and you have lived up to your father's expectations. How can a dangerous brother like this be so careless? To tell you the truth, the vanguard has already been sent out, be alert The range is five kilometers, if there is really a Chinese ambush in the valley ahead, I am afraid there will be a war ahead." Okubo Taro said proudly.

"Yo Xi, my brother is indeed a top student of the Imperial Army University, Jiro has been taught!" Okubo Jiro said admiringly.

However, the two brothers didn't expect that the actual target of the 222 brigade was their large army. They didn't even pay attention to the 222 brigade of the [-]th Japanese puppet army in front of them, and let them go directly.

Seeing the convoy of the Japanese army and the cavalry of the puppet army enter the ambush circle one by one, Li Wensheng was very excited. When the last second devil walked into the ambush circle, Li Wensheng turned around and shouted at the correspondent beside him: "Send the signal flare immediately and fire! "

With a "bang", a flare with a dark green tail slowly rose into the sky, followed by a huge explosion.

After seeing the signal, the squadrons ambushing on both sides of the cliff opened fire quickly. For a while, the valley was full of gunshots, cannons, thunder, people screaming, horses neighing and explosions.

The grenades that fell from the sky blew up the cars of the Japanese army one by one, blocking the entire mountain road, and the entrance to the valley was immediately blocked by the squadron, and the Japanese army was in a dilemma for a while.

However, the fighting quality of the Japanese army is really good. Although it was attacked suddenly, the Japanese army only fell into a short panic and then launched a counterattack under the command of several front-line officers.On the other hand, the more than 2000 puppet troops next to them were far behind. One by one, the puppet troops hurriedly rolled off their horses, lying on the ground and shooting randomly, without any formation.

"Don't panic, don't panic, order the chariot troops to clear the way ahead, quickly!" Okubo Taro ordered loudly.

"Boom" "Boom" more than a dozen chariots overtook the infantry and appeared at the front of the team. The main guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns were also firing non-stop, rushing towards the exit of the valley in front.

"Shoot machine guns, get ready! Fire!" A force suddenly emerged from the cliffs on both sides. The number of this force was not large, the total number of people on both sides was only about 100, and the weapons and equipment were only a dozen machine guns.

But it was this army that guarded the exit of the valley like a god of death, and more than a dozen high-end machine guns fired at the same time.Condescending, the 12mm armor on the upper part of the Japanese chariot could not withstand the blow of the Type 75 high-speed machine gun. In less than 10 minutes, all the chariots were lying on the ground, and even two of them exploded violently. The high-speed machine gun hit the ammunition depot inside the car, causing the ammunition to explode.

Seeing the soldiers around him continue to fall down, thousands of people were lost in just ten minutes, while the Imperial Chinese Alliance Army behind them lay on the ground with no fighting spirit, Okubo Taro knew that today was in serious trouble.

"Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency Norihide Abe, saying that our department was ambushed by the main force of China, suffered heavy losses, and urgently needs reinforcements! Send the same telegram to His Excellency Tojo Hideki!"

"Hay..." The radio operator, Second Lieutenant Sasaki, was knocked off his head by a bullet before he could finish his sentence, and the half-headed body fell to the ground with a bang, and bloody brains flowed out along with the blood. land.Then two more bullets hit Sasaki's body, and the radio on Sasaki's back was directly torn apart.

Okubo Taro didn't care to look at the dead Second Lieutenant Sasaki, but rolled on the spot in a hurry and hid behind a car. Okubo Taro had just left the hiding place just now, and two bullets hit there. Okubo Taro was shocked. In a cold sweat.

The radio operator was killed, the radio station was destroyed, and the Okubo headquarters completely lost the opportunity to contact the Chahar dispatched corps and Abe Kihide's headquarters. In this closed valley, facing the strong attack of the 222 brigade, only more than 2000 real It is only a matter of time before the Okubo Army of the Japanese Army is destroyed.

When the Daqingou ambush started, Abe Kihide's headquarters also encountered trouble.I just received a call from the headquarters of the Chahar Dispatched Corps, saying that the reconnaissance plane had just discovered that a large number of troops marched around Xinghe County, one in the east, one in the east, and one in the south, and the number was extremely large.

Don't think about it, this must be the Chinese army, because there is only one Japanese army sent by Chahar in the entire Saibei area, and it is definitely impossible for the Japanese imperial army to appear around Xinghe County, so the only ones left are those The hateful Chinese army.

After receiving the telegram from the headquarters, Kihide Abe and a group of generals deduced it on the sand table, and suddenly broke out in white sweat.The appetite of the Chinese people is really not small, and they even planned to eat the more than 1 imperial troops outside Xinghe City in one bite.

However, according to the results of the sand table deduction, the Chinese people's chances of winning are around the sixth floor, which cannot be ignored by Norihide Abe and others.

Now it's not just Norihide Abe and others who feel dizzy, even Hideki Tojo feels a headache.Where did the Chinese have so many troops, and they appeared in such a critical place at such a critical juncture.After four days of attacking, the defenders of Tianzhen County are at the end of their battles. This morning, the imperial army has rushed into the county three times. Just a matter of time.

Compared with the temptation to capture Tianzhen, the more than 1 Japanese puppet troops outside Xinghe City are more important. The first battle of Tianzhen Tojo Hideki has caused the Chahar dispatched corps to lose more than [-] people. Nearly [-] troops are lost, so what will greet him will be a summons from the Imperial Military Court.

After thinking about it again and again, Hideki Tojo finally issued an order to Norihide Abe to break out to the south, and at the same time sent the du li mixed first brigade, the eighth and seventh divisions of the Puppet Mongolian Army, to go north to meet Norihide Abe's headquarters.
