blood feud

It is precisely because the defensive operations on the front line of Changyu City were a mess from the very beginning, so when the later historical materials mentioned the "Battle of Nankou", there was basically nothing about Chen Daqing's 4th Division. The warriors who sacrificed their lives are also buried in the dust of history!

Chen Daqing arranged a regiment as the salient to build a defensive position in Hezijian, the fairy cave. His meaning was very clear, that is, he hoped that the Hezijian position could function as a "carrying pole" - provoking the loess in the northeast. Ridge, provoking the main position of Changyu City behind him.

In order to ensure that this whimsical "tactical concept" works, Chen Daqing also deployed heavy troops (two regiments of 850 and 415) on the 416 highland in the southwest!

The two regiments on the 850 Heights also have two functions.The first function is naturally to support the positions of Changyu City and Hezijian, and the second function is to block the passage of the border town.

In other words, Chen Daqing used three of his four regiments to form two fists, and stretched them all out!The direct result is that there is only one regiment on Chen Daqing's chest—that is, the pass of Changyu City!

You can simply imagine that if you don't have enough reserves in a arduous defensive battle, it will naturally collapse at the first touch!

This kind of tactical concept of stretching out both fists, and then during the three-year civil war, Jiang even came once!He hit Shandong with one fist, and northern Shaanxi with the other.In the end, Mao Weiren broke through and pierced the heart with an arrow-this is the leap into the Dabie Mountains!

Today, before the enemy came over, Chen Daqing stretched out both his fists here, which is precisely the deadly passage that he should defend with all his strength - there are no soldiers available in Changyu City, and the root of failure has already been planted !

It was wishful thinking, and a dead-end tactic, but it happened.Moreover, Tang Enbo actually approved this defense method. Isn't this the greatest tragedy?

The little devil's tactical actions, as well as his ability to read and understand the battlefield, clearly surpassed the defenders here.

The main attacking brigade completely ignored the Hezijian position on the right, let alone the 850 Heights on the left.Instead, the whole army rushed forward and went straight to Changyu City, the main position of the 72nd Division of Changyu City.

That is to say, with one simple tactical move by the little devil, Chen Daqing's three regiments were abolished!

Now, the enemy stormed Changyu City, and as a result, the other three regiments were left behind by the enemy.In other words, Chen Daqing originally had four regiments in one division to undertake the frontal defense task, but as soon as the battle started, he lost three regiments for no reason!

Because Chen Daqing has only one regiment that can be put into combat now.Although the other three regiments were fully organized, they did not suffer any losses.But now being separated by the enemy, everything is trash!

Of course, if the attacking enemy only has one brigade, Chen Daqing has a workaround - that is to abandon the Hezijian position and the 850 highland, and then the three regiments will attack from behind the enemy's buttocks, knocking out the little devil's brigade. Annihilation in one fell swoop!

can this work?Of course not!

Because behind this attacking brigade is the main force of the Little Devils Fifth Division, and it has powerful field artillery!

Because of this, when the defensive battle of Changyu City started, Chen Daqing was helpless and could only ask for help urgently!

At this critical moment, Fu Zuoyi ordered the 72nd division of the headquarters to come up with emergency reinforcements. The 433 and 434 regiments lived up to expectations and finally stabilized the precarious defense line of Changyu City.

Chen Daqing regained his breath, and immediately ordered the 850 and 415 regiments on the 416 highland line to move eastward immediately, flanking the enemy attacking Changyu City, and covering his chest.

I didn't expect the consequences of such a move, and I exposed my right rib to the enemy again, thus really embarking on the road of no return to a big failure!

"Oh? Wow, hahaha—"

Then the head of the Miura Sensei Brigade of the 21st Infantry Brigade of the Little Devils who arrived later observed the situation on the front line and found that the defenders on the opposite side were in chaos, so he burst out laughing: "Commander Itagaki is indeed right, China The army is indeed the world's biggest rice bucket!"

"Order: The Artillery Wing opened fire with all its strength to suppress the Chinese army on the 850 Heights. The Cavalry Wing immediately dispatched two brigades to seize the passage at the border of the town as quickly as possible. Then rushed behind the enemy and completely wiped out the Chinese army in front of them. Come!"

Jiang had told Tang Enbo at the beginning that as long as he defended for eight to ten days, the reinforcements would definitely arrive.

Where are the reinforcements?Zhoukoudian first line!

Wei Lihuang's 14th Group Army quickly concentrated in the Zhoukoudian area through Yi County and Laishui, and was preparing to reinforce the Nankou and Huailai areas.

At the same time, the 29th and 37th Divisions of the original 38th Army, located on Pinghan and Jinpu Roads, began to attack between Ping and Tianjin with a force, hoping to contain the No. The Lihuang army marched northward.

Unexpectedly, Wei Lihuang's No.14 Army went all the way through the mountains and ridges, and finally rushed to the Yanhe City on the upper reaches of the Yongding River, which is the closest to Zhenbian City, but they couldn't make it through!

There was no other way, Wei Lihuang had no choice but to order the large army to turn around immediately, rush to Qingbaikou at the confluence of Yongding River and Qingshui River, and then start crossing the river!

As mentioned above, the continuous torrential rain in the recent period has made it not easy for the brigade to march.With such a mistake, Wei Lihuang's 14th Army has already wasted its best time.

By the time Wei Lihuang's vanguard crossed the Yongding River, Kawagishi Fumisaburo's No.20 Division had already gotten rid of the entanglement of Feng Zhi'an's 37th Division, and rushed along the Yongding River to the front line of Yanchi Town, and Wei Lihuang The vanguard of the army met unexpectedly!

The forwards of the two reinforcements collided, and it was naturally the point of the needle. From the first shot, it had become a situation of endless death.

It was at this time that Major General Miura of the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division realized that he had nothing to worry about, so he ordered his cavalry regiment to dispatch urgently, taking advantage of the moment when the defensive troops on the opposite side moved, to seize the border town!

It's a pity that the little devil has counted everything, including the Chinese devil Bai Shujie who played his cards uneasy and probably sent troops from the direction of Chicheng.The only thing that was not counted was that there would be a heavy artillery position above the head of Wei Lihuang's No.14 Army!

That's right, Bai Shujie ordered an artillery company sent by the Fangshan Independence Regiment to build a position on top of where Wei Lihuang is now - the main peak on the mountain ridge - three fields and a key platform!

The moment Miura Toshiji's cavalry regiment completed its assembly, three 105mm shells fell from the sky and landed accurately in the cavalry formation!After three big explosions, three big holes were blown out of the neat cavalry formation!

No matter how well trained a war horse is, it is a beast after all.This sudden and huge change caused a cavalry brigade of nearly [-] horses to flee.

The shells did not kill a few little devils, but after the horses were frightened, more than 50 little devils were trampled to death, dragged to death, or knocked to death!

Only three shells?of course not!

主峰上面的炮兵连，一共部署了3门大正14年式105mm野战加农炮（射程15公里），3门三八改75mm野炮（射程11公里）。

The artillery battery knew that if it fired, it would expose its target, so the six cannons fired at the same time.The ones with a longer range will naturally attack the front cavalry regiment, and the 75mm field artillery with a slightly shorter range will attack the artillery regiment of the 21st Brigade!

It is not necessary to kill all the cavalry brigades of the little devils, as long as the horses have lost their function, so three 105mm shells are enough.The artillery company commander immediately adjusted his shooting and concentrated six cannons to bombard Toshiji Miura's field artillery unit.

For little devils, the means of attack are the same.Without the backing of cannons, the little devil's infantry attack is not terrible.

From the day of its birth, the Jehol Front Army has fought against the little devils.Therefore, the artillery company commander did not directly attack the little devils attacking the defensive position, but struck behind them.

The sudden violent shelling stunned both the enemy and us on the entire battlefield!

For the little devil, neither the head of the Miura Minji Brigade of the 21st Brigade, nor the head of the Kawagishi Fumisaburo Division of the 20th Division, did not expect that the Chinese government army who came to reinforce them would have a 105mm caliber field gun. Cannon!

According to the information provided by the secret service, the No. 14 Army of the Chinese Government Army did not have a heavy artillery battalion at all, but only two mountain artillery companies, with a striking distance of less than six kilometers.

However, the heavy artillery company that suddenly appeared now can directly hit targets 12 kilometers away, which is comparable to the heavy artillery regiment of his own elite division.

Therefore, the head of the Miura Toshiji Brigade and the head of the Kawagishi Fumisaburo Division made a decision almost at the same time: "Order the warring troops to quickly shrink their forces, organize defenses on the spot, and then immediately find out the enemy's artillery positions!"

As the defensive side, they were a little dumbfounded when they saw large-caliber artillery above 100mm constantly firing shells.Because they all understand that there are a few large-caliber artillery in the Central Army, but not many shells.

Whether it's Wei Lihuang or Chen Daqing, they understand one thing: the person who shoots at the little devil is definitely not the enemy!At this moment of life and death, as long as it is not an enemy, it will be fine.

Now that it has its own cannons showing off its power, one of the little devil's cavalry brigade collapsed. Now the little devil's field artillery unit is too busy to take care of itself, and it is impossible to provide fire support to the front line.

The 850 Heights 415 and 416 regiments who were almost made dumplings just now finally got airy.With the order of the two regiment leaders, more than 2000 warriors bravely rushed forward to the valley, cutting off the way for the little devils to attack the brigade!

The artillery company commander standing on the top of the main peak of the three lands, naturally stood tall, so he could see far.Seeing that the friendly army was going to wipe out a brigade, he felt that he should help.

Therefore, a 105mm cannon was quickly deployed, aimed at the dense formation of the little devils, and three consecutive shells flew over, becoming the last straw that overwhelmed the camel!

Suddenly at the most critical moment, three shells flew over, completely crushing the little devil's delusion of organizing defense on the spot, and he could only organize a breakout.

However, under the attack of the three regiments moving forward bravely, the remaining 700 people in this little devil's brigade did not run out for three miles, and the last one was wiped out!

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
