Glorious Mission 1937

() "To find another way, how to find another way?" Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki asked.

"Avoid the gunner's firepower and attack from the ground!" Major General Uhara Seiichiro said.

"You mean authentic?" Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro said with narrowed eyes.

"Exactly, with that small hill in the way, even if our army captures Datong City, it will pay a very high price. Therefore, I think that by digging one or several tunnels directly leading to Datong City, we will be able to take it in one fell swoop. Go down to Datong City and wipe out the Chinese army in the city." Major General Uhara Seiichiro said.

Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro thought for a while and said: "Yoxi, this idea is very good, but digging a tunnel is a huge project, and it is easy to be discovered by the Chinese people. At this time, it needs to be reported to the Front Army Command for approval!"

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think the sooner the better, the Zhengfu of China and Yan Xishan of the World War II area will not just watch Chen Feng's troops be wiped out by our army, and they will definitely send reinforcements when they draw their hands. This Chinese army will be in big trouble if it breaks through the encirclement." Major General Uhara Seiichiro said loudly.

"Yoxi, since that's the case, the task of excavating the tunnel will be handed over to your duli mixed brigade No. 15. I will let other troops harass and attack the Chinese army in the city day and night to cover you. Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro said loudly.

"Hay!"

On the morning of the 18th, the Japanese army once again organized a strong attack with superior forces, still using aircraft, cannons, tanks, and even poison gas bombs, but the effect was still minimal, and a day of hard work yielded no results.

On the 19th, the Japanese army launched an offensive again, but soon the defenders in the city discovered the problem. Today, only a small number of Japanese troops participated in the attack, and most of them were puppet troops, although these puppet troops were all wearing Japanese uniforms Clothes, but what they hold in their hands is still old weapons and equipment, which cannot be hidden from the defenders in the city.

Moreover, compared with the Japanese army, the fighting will of the puppet army is like mud, and it will collapse after a little hit.Therefore, although the Japanese army organized an unprecedented 13 attacks throughout the day, the intensity of the battle was far less than the previous two days.

For three days like this, the Japanese army's offensive was not as good as one day. Although they continued to attack day and night, the defenders often retreated as soon as they counterattacked.Despite this, the 222nd Brigade did not dare to neglect at all, because the Japanese Army organized a powerful attack two days ago when the defenders were lax. Fortunately, the strength of the city wall of Datong was beyond the imagination of the Japanese army. More than a dozen explosive packs managed to blow up the city wall, but even so, the defenders broke out in a cold sweat.

Shilipu Town. Japanese Army Joint Command.

"Yuhara-kun, how is the tunnel digging going?" You and Seishiro Itagaki asked in a deep voice.

"Report Commander, 800 meters have been excavated, and there are still more than 600 meters away from Datong City, but the deeper the digging, the more difficult it is, mainly because of lack of oxygen." Major General Uhara Seiichiro replied.

"I don't care about these, I just want the result, I just want to know when the tunnel can be dug into Datong City?" Seishiro Itagaki said coldly.

"According to the current progress, it will take three days to get through the tunnel into Datong City." Major General Uhara Seiichiro said.

"Okay, I will let the troops on the front line hold out for another three days. In order to cover your excavation of tunnels from being discovered by the Chinese people, our army lost a total of more than 1 people in five days. More than half, but there are still more than [-] imperial warrior casualties." Itagaki Seishiro said.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the humble position will never let you down!"

.........

On November 11th, the cavalry group sent a telegram that they had arrived at the outskirts of Kulun. The special forces team had sneaked into the city of Kulun with makeup last night and obtained a detailed city defense map of Kulun.

The luck of the cavalry group is really good. At this time, there is only one brigade of defenders in Kulun City, and this brigade is all recruits just transferred from the Japanese mainland, and its combat effectiveness is very limited.

Chen Feng instructed that after formulating a detailed combat plan, the cavalry group can launch a general attack on Kulun in the early morning of the 26th. It must be killed with one blow, and the Japanese army stationed in the Mongolian army headquarters will be wiped out, and no one will be let go.

At the same time, Chen Feng ordered the Soldiers of the Duqi Brigade on Daqing Mountain to divide into two groups, enter the two counties of Xinghe and Zhangbei through secret passages on the night of the 26th, and launch an attack on the defenders of Xinghe and Zhangbei.

Both brigades 223 and 224 also received orders to attack the Japanese troops in Jining, Shangdu, Fengzhen, and Tianzhen in the early morning of the 26th.Chen Feng himself led the team directly under the military headquarters and the 200 brigade to support them.

At eleven o'clock in the evening on the 25th, the joint headquarters of the Japanese army in Shilipu was still brightly lit. All the senior officers of the Japanese army were there. Just now, news came from the duli mixed No.15 brigade, saying that the tunnel has been dug to a distance of 50 meters below Datong City, and it can be dug into Datong City in at most three hours.

In Datong City, Li Wensheng was in a very melancholy mood. The Japanese army's behavior during this period was very abnormal, and the attack frequency was extremely high, but they were not intense at all. It could be seen that their minds did not seem to be fighting, and they seemed to be covering up something. .

After analyzing with a large group of officers for several days, he still couldn't figure out what tricks the little devil was playing, which made Li Wensheng very depressed.

"Master, the commander of the 309rd Battalion of the 222th Regiment who was stationed on the east wall just now reported that their soldiers heard a sound of bangs and bangs coming from the ground when they were patrolling." Li Jianhua, deputy brigade commander of the [-]nd Brigade, came in and reported.

Li Wensheng and Hu Tiesheng looked at each other and said at the same time, "True!"

After being reminded by Li Jianhua, Li Wensheng and Hu Tiesheng both thought about the reason for the little devil's abnormal behavior during this period. It turned out that these troops on the ground were just a cover, mainly to cover the construction of underground troops and dig tunnels. The little devil is really cunning.

After figuring this out, Li Wensheng and Hu Tiesheng are not worried anymore. They know the fortifications of Datong City very well. The moat is the real nemesis of all.

According to what Junzuo said that day, the moat in Datong is 15 meters deep, and the side near the city wall is built with reinforced concrete several meters thick. If the Japanese Army’s tunnel is below 15 meters underground, it is really possible to enter Datong City , but if it is more than 15 meters, then I'm sorry, no matter what direction you dig, the final result is the same, that is, to dig through the moat, and finally everyone in the tunnel will be drowned by the swarming river.

And the depth below 15 meters is extremely easy to dig into the groundwater. As long as you are not too stupid, you will not dig the tunnel so deep. In addition, the 15-meter-deep tunnel has a huge amount of work, and it is definitely not ten days or eight days. The dug was completed, so Li Wensheng judged that the tunnel dug by the Japanese army this time should be more than 15 meters long.

After figuring this out, Li Wensheng said disdainfully: "The little devil is really deliberate, do you really think that the military seat is a fool, and I have been guarding against Gou Ri's tricks, and pass my order: Ring the first-level police report!" , All the troops are ready for battle, and the air defense regiment and the machine gun regiment are ordered to move all the light and heavy weapons to the top of the city. I will teach this old devil Seishiro Itagaki a good lesson today."

Shilipu Town, Japanese Army Joint Command.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Duli Mixed No.15 Brigade called and said that there are still ten meters left, and we can get through within half an hour." A captain's staff came in to report.

"Yo Xi, order the troops to launch an attack according to the original plan. The east gate of the ** Jun will be handed over to your 26th division. The division is in charge, the north gate is in charge of the 9st brigade, the west gate is in charge of the mountain brigade, and the 2th cavalry brigade is in charge of containing the Chinese army outside the city. Gentlemen, it depends on whether the Japanese imperial army can get away with it You are here, start to act!" Itagaki Seishiro ordered.

"Hay, the Great Japanese Empire is onboard! His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

"Onboard the Great Japanese Empire! Onboard His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Onboard the Great Japanese Empire! Onboard His Majesty the Emperor!"

The Japanese army's sudden and violent attack did not panic the defenders, on the contrary, it made the defenders very happy, because the headquarters just transferred all the troops in the city to the top of the city, including the air defense regiment that had been used to defend the Japanese aircraft. Adjusted up, Nainai's, there are more than 100 dual-link high-shelf machine guns, a real killer!

"Bang bang bang!" "Da da da!"

The Japanese army was not afraid of death, and followed the armored vehicles and chariots facing the Datong city wall with their bayonets straight. Although the firepower on the opposite side was extremely fierce, even the Japanese army's chariots were killed in front of a large number of high-speed machine guns. Or lie down, but their infantry still strode forward.

Seishiro Itagaki is very satisfied with the courage of the Japanese imperial army. Although the casualties of this attack will be higher, but this attack will not last long. Once the underground passage is dug, the No.15 Brigade will attack the city along the tunnel. Go, the Chinese army in the city will be defeated without a fight, and it depends on the Datong war.

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.Just half an hour after the Japanese army launched an all-out attack, news came from the No. 15 Brigade of Duli that the tunnel was flooded.

In fact, before the excavation of the tunnel, Major General Yuhara Seiichiro thought about the water leakage, so he found a lot of information on the fortifications of Datong City. He knew that the moat of Datong City was only 3 meters deep and 5 meters wide. It can be guaranteed that nothing will happen if it is less than one meter, so when he was more than 30 meters away from the moat, he ordered the troops who dug the tunnel to dig deeper, and one side dug to the moat.

Unexpectedly, the depth of the tunnel was as deep as 8 meters and still failed to escape this bad luck. When the soldiers digging the tunnel saw water droplets seeping from the walls of the tunnel, before he could shout, the water droplets turned into streams. Soon the earth wall at the end of the tunnel collapsed, and a huge water flow poured down the tunnel, filling the tunnel quickly.
