Glorious Mission 1937

()Chapter 66: The name of the bloody lonely city withered its flowers on the nameless mountain

Murakami Taro is very confident in the poison gas bomb named special smoke within the Japanese army. When Murakami Taro witnessed the power of this chemical weapon many times during the encirclement and suppression of the Anti-Japanese War in Northeast China. <>At the same time, several of his classmates are serving in Unit 731, a secret unit of the Kwantung Army, so he knows gas bombs very well.

After years of experiments and war tests, the Japanese army has made major breakthroughs in chemical weapons, even compared with Europe and the United States at the same time.Murakami Taro believes that even if the special smoke of the Great Japanese Empire is put on the European battlefield, it will surely create a new miracle of war, not to mention the backward China that doesn't even know what rubber is.

So after using the gas bombs, Murakami Taro directly ordered the Japanese army to launch a charge. He wanted to take down the China position in the shortest possible time, and he wanted to let the entire Chahar Expeditionary Army Command know that he, Murakami Taro, is a capable man. commander.

When they put on the biological and chemical combat suits and gas masks, the Japanese soldiers knew what happened.The vast majority of soldiers in the Chahar Dispatch Corps are from the Kwantung Army, and the use of gas bombs is no secret to these soldiers.

At the same time, all the Japanese soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They had exactly the same idea as Murakami Taro, and they were too superstitious about the power of gas bombs.

Six hundred Japanese troops cautiously moved towards the position of the first battalion, even though they did not believe that under such fierce artillery fire and special smoke, the Chinese army still had much resistance.However, many times of combat experience told them that even with shelling for several hours, even with the use of poison gas bombs, it is difficult to completely wipe out a fully organized unit, and there are still survivors in the face of powerful attacks on the enemy.If these people go crazy, it is likely to cause casualties to them.

200m...150m...100m...50m

The position of the Chinese army is getting closer and closer, but the enemy on the opposite side has not moved at all. Slowly all the Japanese troops are relieved. It seems that the Chinese army is completely finished this time.

However, when they approached the position less than 30 meters away, there was a clear gunshot from the position of the Chinese defenders, and after a burst of air breaking, a large number of grenades suddenly flew out from the position of the Chinese defenders.

"Boom boom boom" The power of the grenades thrown out by the squadron with the delayed explosion was so powerful that the Japanese army who fell to the ground at the first time could not be spared, and the blind spot strike caused heavy losses to the Japanese army. <>

Before the other Japanese soldiers could react, rapid gunshots rang out from the defenders' positions, and the Japanese soldiers were knocked down one by one with the sound of 'da da da', and the quiet battlefield instantly turned into a Shura hell.

By 300:4000 p.m., there were only less than [-] soldiers left in the First Brigade, One Regiment, and One Battalion of the Jingwei Brigade, and the vanguard of the Japanese Army also suffered heavy losses, with less than [-] soldiers left. ability to attack.

As for Xinghe, Kihide Abe's department has also reached the final moment of its demise. There are less than a thousand remnants of the more than 5000 Japanese army left, retreating to the top of the unknown hill, surrounded by madly attacking squadrons, In addition, there are more than a dozen large fireballs burning on the positions on both sides, which were produced by the Japanese reinforcement planes that were the most backward.

Norihide Abe looked at the exhausted officers around him, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He remembered that when he was appointed as the head of the du li mixed second brigade, he invaded China with almost a three-unit division. How confident is the time, but in less than three months, he and his troops are at the end of the road, and destruction is imminent.

"Gentlemen, this is very bad news. His Excellency Hideki Tojo called just now. The reinforcements met the stubborn resistance of the Chinese army and stopped at Xinping Fort. The temporary air force of the North China Front Army suffered heavy losses and was temporarily unable to reinforce our army. Said we were alone."

Seeing that no one was talking about himself, Kihide Abe sighed and said: "As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, a true Yamato warrior, I think each of us should stand tall, even if we die in the next moment, We can't fall into the prestige of the warriors. Everyone, please allow me to issue the last order now. The whole army will attack in 10 minutes. All officers including me will join the stormtroopers and launch a deadly counterattack against the Chinese army. Of course we can break through Well, even if we can't break through, we should die on the way to the charge."

"Hay!"

After writing the farewell message to the dispatched army headquarters, Lieutenant General Kihide Abe stood up, lightly tidied up his lieutenant general uniform, then took out the saber that had been wiped countless times, and wiped it carefully with a white handkerchief After reading it once, he walked up to the radio operator, Second Lieutenant Fukuyama, and stabbed the command knife into his chest under the horrified eyes of Second Lieutenant Fukuyama.

"Fukuyama, you are the radio operator of the brigade headquarters. You have all the radio codes of the Imperial Army. In order to ensure that these codes are not obtained by the Chinese, you must die!"

After finishing speaking, Kihide Abe took out the brigade flag that he carried with him, set it on fire together with all the confidential documents, and finally gave the order to charge.

When Kihide Abe's headquarters launched a suicide counterattack, the first battalion of Shinpei Fort was attacked by dozens of Japanese troops again. The two reinforcements of the Japanese army joined forces in front of Xinpingbao 10 minutes ago, and then launched another fierce attack on the position of the first battalion under the command of the head of the No. 15 Brigade of Du Li Mixed Brigade.

From ten o'clock in the morning to now, the soldiers of the first battalion have been fighting for 7 hours, and the casualties of the troops have exceeded 70%. Even the battalion commander Wang Zihan fell into a coma half an hour ago, and now the deputy battalion commander of the first battalion Li Xuezhong, the first company commander, commanded the battle.

Although exhausted, but thinking of the 8-hour blocking mission of the division seat, none of the soldiers gave birth to the desire to retreat.As the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the Jingbei Brigade, they have their own pride. Just as the battalion commander Wang Zihan said, the first battalion only has heroes who died in battle, and there are absolutely no bears who escaped. past their positions.

The seriously wounded have all been carried into the temporary dressing station in the center of the town, including the first battalion commander Wang Zihan.And all the lightly wounded returned to their combat positions after a little bandaging.After distributing the few but all to the companies, Li Xuezhong issued almost the same order as Abe Norihide, and launched a final charge to the Japanese army after running out of ammunition.

"boom boom"

The battle was going on. At 03:30 in the afternoon, Abe Kihide's headquarters was wiped out on the Wuming Hill. All the officers including Abe Kihide escaped the net. Lieutenant General Abe Kihide was seriously injured and captured. On the way to the hospital died.

Before it was too late to clean up the battlefield, Chen Feng ordered the cavalry regiment newly assigned to the 222nd Division by the World War II District Chief's Department and the Jingwei Brigade Cavalry Regiment to immediately reinforce Xinping Fort, and at the same time report the victory to the Seventh Army Headquarters, the World War II District Chief's Department, and the Nationalist Government Military and Political Department.

In the forward position of Xinpingbao, the Japanese attack became more and more frenzied, but the gunshots of the defenders became more and more sparse.The machine gunners of the anti-aircraft machine guns had just blown up the remaining three-stop anti-aircraft machine guns, and everyone found a Mauser rifle, preparing for the final battle with the Japanese army.

"Tick tick... tick tick!" The charge horn finally sounded, and all the soldiers braved the enemy's artillery fire to launch the final charge.Everyone knew that facing an enemy dozens of times larger than their own, they were exhausted and had embarked on a road of no return, but no one regretted it.

Seeing the Chinese defenders on the ground stupidly launching a counter-charge against the imperial army, Major General Uhara Seiichiro raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "Stupid Chinese people, the Japanese imperial army is invincible. I will use you today!" The heads and blood of those heroes who died in battle!"

However, before Major General Seiichiro Yuhara was proud of himself for even a minute, Colonel Taro Murakami hurried over and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, call urgently!"

"Don't read it, just send a report to the commander directly, saying that our army has wiped out the Chinese defenders of Xinpingbao, and we can arrive at the battlefield in half an hour." Major General Uhara Seiichiro thought that he was urging the reinforcements to move forward quickly. telegram, so he simply interrupted Taro Murakami.

"Your Excellency, Commander Tojo called to say that Your Excellency Abe had already served His Majesty the Emperor in 10 minutes. , A large number of Chinese troops are rushing towards Xinpingbao, if our army does not retreat, it is very likely to be attacked by the two northern and southern Chinese armies, so Your Excellency Commander ordered our army to retreat immediately."

"Baga...Baga Road..."

Although there are thousands of unwillingness in his heart, Major General Yuhara Seiichiro knows that Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo's consideration is very reasonable. Although Tianzhen's defenders have suffered heavy losses, after receiving reinforcements from the Seventh Army of China, their combat effectiveness has improved. Has recovered a lot.In addition, the huge Chinese army in the north had just wiped out more than 2 Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army.

Without much thought, Major General Yuhara Seiichiro gave the order to retreat.

Li Xuezhong, Li Haiping and others on the way to the charge had already made up their minds to die, but to their surprise, the Japanese army, which already had an absolute advantage, withdrew without delay, not even the troops in the rear. After a mortar shot blocked the charge of the first battalion, the puppet army retreated southward with lightning speed for nearly [-] days.

(ps: I just returned to Hohhot from Wuchuan today, and then returned to Baotou by car from Hohhot. I just entered the house. I don’t want to talk about it. I’m going to code. It’s been broken for a while. I can’t say anything today.)
