Glorious Mission 1937

() Xinpingbao, a small town in northern China that has experienced the baptism of war, will never return to its former prosperity.Although more than 20 days have passed since the last war, the town is full of traces of war trials.

However, before the people who had just returned home could breathe a sigh of relief, before they had time to dispose of the rubble at home, they were notified again that the large Japanese troops were heading north, and all the people in the town were evacuated immediately.

At ten o'clock in the morning on September 9th, an army wearing dark green uniforms suddenly appeared in Xinping Fort, and quickly occupied all the high ground outside the town, and at the same time began to build fortifications.

Wang Zihan, commander of the first battalion of the Jingbei Brigade, is 30 years old this year and graduated from the Northeast Lecture Hall.Six years ago, Wang Zihan, who served as the commander of the third battalion and second company of the First Regiment of the Fengtian Jingbei Brigade of the Northeast Army, was ordered by his superiors to withdraw from the outside of the pass to the inside of the pass in one go, and hand over the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers outside the pass to the Japanese, 3000 Wan compatriots are in dire straits.

As a soldier who was supposed to protect his family and the country, Wang Zihan was deeply ashamed of himself and the Northeast Army he was in for his inaction, so after withdrawing to Peiping, Wang Zihan left the Northeast Army with a dozen subordinates.

After leaving the Northeast Army, Wang Zihan brought a dozen brothers to Chahar, set up a pole on Phoenix Mountain, became a bandit, and planned to accumulate strength and return to the Northeast.

Needless to say, in just a few years, Wang Zihan's bandit army gradually grew from a dozen people at the beginning, to more than 600 people before the July [-]th Incident broke out.

After the first battle of Tianzhen, the Xinghe County Security Corps defeated the Japanese army and created military miracles one after another. This moved Wang Zihan, a former soldier. After many twists and turns, Wang Zihan finally took his That bandit soldier joined Chen Feng's security regiment, and Wang Zihan himself was appointed by Chen Feng as the battalion major and battalion commander of the police reserve brigade.

The first regiment is the main regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Jingwei brigade, while the first battalion is the fist of the first regiment, with 889 people in the whole battalion, it is a standard German weapon strengthening battalion.In view of the fact that the Japanese army will definitely attack at all costs for this reinforcement, Xu Hu transferred another company from his Jingwei battalion to supplement the first battalion.

Xu Hu's order to Wang Zihan was to be nailed to Xinping Fort at all costs, no matter how many little devils came, to persist for at least eight hours.

As soon as they entered Xinpingbao, the reconnaissance team came back and reported that they had found the vanguard of the Japanese army five kilometers south of Xinpingbao. The vanguard of the Japanese army is an infantry squad plus a puppet company, about 200 people.

Wang Zihan frowned, secretly thinking that the little devil came so fast.The vanguard troops will not be more than five kilometers away from the main troops, which means that the Japanese army's main troops are less than ten kilometers away from Xinping Fort, and they can arrive at most in half an hour at the Japanese army's marching speed.

The time is so tight, I am afraid that even the simplest fortification cannot be completed in half an hour.Fortunately, some of the fortifications built by the security regiment last time were still barely usable. Wang Zihan immediately ordered the troops to speed up repairing the fortifications to prepare for the attack of the Japanese troops going north.

Just when the first battalion of the Jingwei Brigade and the Japanese army's northward reinforcements were about to have the most intense collision, the battle of the 222nd Division to encircle and wipe out Kihide Abe's headquarters also entered the most intense time.

There is a small hill five kilometers southeast of Xinghe County. No one has paid attention to it before, and no one has given it a name.But now everyone's eyes are focused on this place, because Lieutenant General Kihide Abe, who is a famous Japanese army general, and his more than 5000 subordinates are besieged here by the Chinese army.

Although the consecutive days of attacks have caused heavy losses to Abe Kihide's headquarters, so far Abe Kihide still controls more than 5000 elite infantry, which is equivalent to the size of an infantry garrison brigade of the Japanese Army, and he wants to eat them in one fell swoop. This brigade is really not a simple matter.

"Boom boom boom" "da da da"

Seeing that the Japanese army in the encirclement was no longer running around like in the beginning, and was about to break out of the encirclement, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Kihide Abe should have received an order to stand by and wait for help, which is much better." Chen Feng said with a smile.

"Master, stand by and wait for reinforcements. Does the little devil have any reinforcements?" Chief of Staff Yang Yi said with a smile.

"Why not? Don't underestimate the Japanese army. There are nearly 500 little devils in the direction of Tianzhen, there is an infantry regiment of the Japanese army in the direction of Huailai, and the defenders of two brigades of the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou, the most important thing What's more, our place is only more than 12 kilometers away from Beiping, and the railway line controlled by the Japanese army can directly lead to the front line of Tianzhen. As long as the Japanese army is given more than [-] hours, their reinforcements can rush to the outskirts of Xinghe."

Then Chen Feng said: "Besides, Hideki Tojo will not just watch Abe Kihide's troops being eaten by us, even if he gives up the battle plan to capture Tianzhen, he will send the main force to reinforce it."

"Well, it seems that we don't have much time left. It seems difficult to wipe out an infantry brigade of the Japanese army in twelve hours." Yang Yi said with a frown.

"Is it difficult? Don't look at Kihide Abe, there are still more than 5000 people, but now the little devils are at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, firepower, and terrain conditions. The most important thing is that the morale of the Japanese army has been destroyed by us." On the other hand, the morale of our army is high, and it is not difficult to eliminate this semi-disabled infantry brigade. Now I pass on my order: Now regardless of the main attack direction, 222, 223, the police brigade, and the troops directly under the division headquarters will each draw a regiment to participate in the front In the tough battle, the artillery regiment directly under the division headquarters and the machine artillery regiments of each brigade were all pulled up to provide fire support. The anti-aircraft regiment was deployed on the spot to prevent the Japanese air force from coming to reinforce. Can everyone let the flower of Kihide Abe, a famous general, wither? It's up to you outside Xinghe City!" Chen Feng roared loudly.

Xinpingbao, the command post of the first battalion.

"Report to the battalion commander, the little devil's army has arrived and is organizing an attack!"

"Well, how many little devils are there?" Wang Zihan asked calmly.

"It looks like an infantry regiment, and there are also a large number of puppet cavalry, probably no less than 8000 people." The correspondent replied.

"Fortunately, there are only 8000 people. It should not be a problem to stick to it for eight hours based on the terrain. I ordered the forward positions to strictly guard against Japanese artillery bombardment, and immediately distributed gas masks to everyone." Before leaving, he specially applied for a thousand gas masks from Brigadier Xu Da.

The commander of the Japanese army's first batch of northbound reinforcements was Taro Murakami, the rank of Dazuo, and the current chief of staff of the Du Li Mixed First Brigade.

To be honest, Murakami Taro is still very grateful to this Chinese army, because it is because of their heroic resistance that he, who had just been promoted to the army, was promoted to the army commander, and also became the du li mixed first brigade chief of staff.

And because the Du Li Mixed First Brigade suffered heavy losses in the last battle, His Excellency Tojo Hideki ordered the brigade commander Yasuo Masato to stay in his arms to guard the logistics base and replenish troops, so the Du Li Mixed First Brigade was in Tianzhen He, the chief of staff, has the final say on everything on the front line, and his power is far beyond that of the chiefs of staff of the other brigades.

"Report: The Second Battalion is ready for battle and is waiting for your orders at any time!"

"Yo Xi, order Major Toyota to launch an attack immediately, and at the same time order the Sixth Artillery Battalion to provide artillery support!" Taro Murakami gave the order to attack.

"Boom, boom, boom" the Japanese army shelled as usual, a dozen mountain artillery and dozens of mortars began to bombard the defenders' positions in Xinpingbao, and the positions of the Chinese defenders suddenly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

Since there are only a few bomb defense holes available, many soldiers can only crawl in the trenches and endure the shelling of the Japanese army.The first round of shelling caused a lot of damage to the first building, and even a company commander was seriously injured.

After the shelling, the infantry charged. Due to the urgent military situation, Taro Murakami did not let the puppet army test the firepower of the Chinese defenders as before, but launched an elite assault.

"Hurricane Hurricane..." A sharp whistle sounded from the first battalion's position.

Hearing the whistle, the soldiers knew that the little devil's infantry was coming up, and hurriedly got up from the trench to prepare for battle.

The first to fire was not the rifle, but the anti-aircraft machine gun that had been prepared for a long time. Although the infantry of the Japanese army was still 500 meters away, the four twin-link anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by the first battalion opened fire.

"Bang bang bang" The huge lethality brought by the high-speed machine gun level shot immediately interrupted the offensive of the Japanese army that had just launched a charge. Seeing that the surrounding comrades were constantly knocked down by the terrifying bullets from the opposite side, even their own The Japanese army armed with Bushido spirit is also afraid.

There is no way, maybe many Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death as they said, but the bullets shot from the opposite side are too lethal. When they hit the body, there will be a blood hole. It is okay to die on the spot. Watching himself bleeding to death, there was no way to save him.

What was even more frightening was that the soldiers who had been cut in half could not die for a while, and half of their bodies were crawling around on the ground, and their miserable howls made everyone tremble with fear.

It's ridiculous that the Japanese army's first round of attack has not yet entered the effective firing range of the Chinese defenders' rifles, which made Murakami Taro angry for a while.

However, Taro Murakami could see clearly in the battle just now that the lethality of the weapon used by the Chinese people was indeed terrifying, and the firepower was extremely fierce.

"Order the Artillery Brigade to immediately destroy the terrifying weapons and equipment of the Chinese, order the First Regiment of the Eighth Division of the Imperial Association Army to join the battlefield immediately, and order the Third Brigade to organize a second attack." Taro Murakami ordered loudly.

"Boom boom boom" When an anti-aircraft machine gun was blown into a pile of scrap iron by several Japanese shells, Wang Zihan finally realized what the Japanese army was trying to do, and immediately ordered the anti-aircraft machine gun to be concealed. The few heavy machine guns in the remaining bunkers of the battle were lifted out, and the high-shelf machine gun team was stationed in the bunker group. Although the anti-aircraft function of the high-shelf machine guns was lost, it ensured that the high-shelf machine guns were not destroyed by ground artillery fire.
