blood feud

Wei Chong returned to Raoyang according to Bai Shujie's order, and then took advantage of the favorable opportunity of the chaos between the enemy and ourselves to move the entire Rao'an Independent Division westward to [-] kilometers east of Caohe to hide.

Beginning at ten o'clock in the evening on September 1937, 9, the troops have been moved in batches. After seven days, that is, at around four o'clock in the morning on September 16, the concealed transfer of nearly ten thousand people and weapons and equipment was completed.Wei Chong then rushed to Xujiajian's former enemy headquarters, less than a day later.

After the last sneak attack on the 6th Division, Wei Chong followed Bai Shujie's top-secret order and arranged for several battalions to go directly behind the defenders to hide. In fact, he didn't understand why.

The enemy was still on the front lines of Fangshan and Zhuozhou, but the commander-in-chief retreated more than 100 kilometers to hide his elite troops.If it wasn't for Bai Shujie's constant battle with the little devils, and the soldiers' absolute trust in their commander-in-chief, this time there might be a major incident of disobeying the military order.

"Brothers, this is the first time that the boss issued such a strict order. I think you are all mentally prepared. Judging from the current situation, Guan Zhenglin's troops can no longer hold on, and it will be a matter of time before they retreat. If you follow the boss's order Order, Qingyuan County should fall this afternoon."

At around nine o'clock in the morning on September 9, Wei Chong, as the highest military officer in North China, presided over the first and last military meeting of course: "I don't know why the boss knows that it must be the progress of the 25th Division, but there is one thing that can be done." It is very clear that attacking Qingyuan County tonight is a certainty. Now tell us about the situation."

Zhao Sanbao is a local snake, so he was the first to speak: "According to the boss's opinion, the deputy head Ling Kaishan has led a reinforcement battalion and has sneaked into the county for nine months. And according to the boss's order, set up the headquarters in Qiangu Shogunate, east of Zhili Governor's Mansion. Next to it. As for whether the little devil will set up his headquarters in the Governor's Mansion, it is still unclear."

"The place Ling Kaishan chose was the former site of the Yadong foreign company. It was later found out that there were Japanese people inside, so after three nights of reconnaissance, they found a radio station of a little devil. Then these Japanese did not In other words, I will transfer this place to Ling Kaishan very quickly."

"Because of the golden signboard of Yadong Yangxing, Ling Kaishan was the boss there, and more than a dozen carts came in and out every day. After nine months of civil engineering, the tunnel has now passed through the Qiangu shogunate and entered the governor of Zhili. On the northeast side of the Tuisi Hall in the mansion. At present, it is supported by wooden planks, and it only takes 5 minutes to enter the ground."

"Based on this, Ling Kaishan established two permanent support points on the south side of the Daci Pavilion and the Huai Army Office, because the Huai Army Office and the Daci Pavilion have the commanding heights of the whole city, and they can observe the deployment of troops after the little devil enters the city. Due to the situation, Ling Kaishan carried out civil engineering works in both places."

"According to Ling Kaishan's telegram yesterday, they took advantage of the chaotic situation on the battlefield in the past two days, disguised themselves as refugees, and scouted the entire county. They sent back the county's regional distribution map to the artillery commander early this morning, and marked it as The bombing serial number is given, and then the bombing will be carried out according to the designated area."

"In addition, the main purpose of the Huangcun artillery position in the north of the county is to provide artillery support for the siege forces in the east, north and ground. The heavy artillery position in Nanma Village in the east of the city is mainly to bomb the main targets in the city and attack the entire city wall at the same time. defensive position."

Zhang Er looked at the map in a daze and said: "Because we are a secret operation, the heavy artillery cannot be moved for a long distance, so now there is a problem, that is, the south of Xinzhuang in the south of the county seat may not be able to go. When the independent division attacked the outer positions of the south gate of the county seat , I’m afraid we’ll have to attack.”

"The specific battle sequence will be discussed later." Wei Chong shook his head: "Have all the people in the city been transferred out? This is a huge matter, and we can't be careless in the slightest. It is right for us to fight the little devils, but it is wrong to hurt the people." crime."

"Hehe, don't worry!" Zhang Er Leng smiled slightly: "On September 9, when the battle to defend the city wall began, Ling Kaishan and the others spread throughout the county that the little devils would definitely enter the city and kill people. And the Sixth Division The regiment massacred more than 22 civilians and prisoners in Gaobeidian, Dingxing, and Xushui, and many ordinary people saw it."

"So by the night of the 22nd, there was no one in the whole city. Not only the common people ran away, but all the officials and lords in the county. Guan Zhenglin originally wanted to move the headquarters to the city and die with the county. But those officials fled Before, the telephone and power supply were all cut off, and now it is a dead city."

"Guan Zhenglin's headquarters had already issued an order to retreat last night. The current battle is taking cover alternately and withdrawing from the battle in batches. The county town has fallen yesterday afternoon. The little devils are just clearing out the periphery, and the main force has not yet entered the city. "

"Of course, it can't be said that there are no people in the city. In addition to the more than 1000 people we hid underground, there are three to four hundred people. However, these people have already been listed on Ling Kaishan's death list. The reason why they didn't do anything is because they are too lazy to bother." , just let them be buried in the county together with the master."

Wei Chong just nodded, then pointed to the map and said: "According to the boss's order, your main task is to take charge of the artillery positions, attack the county railway station and the west gate at the same time, and my independent division attack the other three city gates."

"Although I handed over the 105mm heavy artillery battalion and the 75mm field artillery battalion to you, I still have a mortar battalion, a 75mm mountain artillery battalion, and an air defense regiment."

"This time, the boss lost all our belongings, so he decided to concentrate one division and two regiments, and wipe out more than 6 people in the 5000th Division in one battle. Although they had more than 6000 people before, But Lao Tzu has peeled off a layer of skin, and more than [-] people are missing, and now there are only more than [-] people."

"My independent division has 4000 people, and your two regiments have 3800 and 4200 people respectively. Together, our strength exceeds 2000. In terms of numbers, we are not at a disadvantage. And , the boss's order is to shoot out all the shells and bullets. Do you understand what it means?"

Zhao Sanbao curled his lips: "What else do you mean? Isn't it just the firewood that I have accumulated all winter, and I burned it all tonight! It's a pity that we have worked hard for two years and used the things accumulated by ants to move. I can persist for a year and a half, but I didn't expect to be reimbursed all in one night!"

"I said you are such a pig brain!" Wei Chong scolded with a smile: "Why did the local army and the central army suffer a crushing defeat in front of the little devil? Isn't it because of the lack of heavy weapons that they were suppressed by the little devil's artillery. Tonight, my friends , let the little devil taste, what is the saturation blow that the boss said!"

Zhang Er smiled and said: "That's right. I have a 18 heavy artillery battalion with a range of 105 kilometers, and two 18 field artillery battalions with a range of 75 kilometers. There are 108 cannons in total. Zhao Sanbao has 24 more. I only need 100 shells fired from each cannon, that’s [-] shells.”

"The average side length of the county seat is 1500 meters. According to this calculation, one shell will fall every two square meters! That is to say, a distance of 1.5 meters is a bomb crater. I will see how many people the little devil can suffer from shells." .Besides, it’s still bombing the key areas, which is basically firing shells one step at a time, killing those shitty ones!”

"Idiot, idiot! You are the bastard commander, and you are still an idiot!" Wei Chong said with a wry smile: "Although I have prepared 100 shells for each cannon, can you shoot them out at once? If According to your style of play, the barrel will turn red after a short period of time, and then explode, do you know that?"

"Besides, there are rooms everywhere in the county town, which will offset the great power of the explosion. To be honest, apart from the 10 shells in the first round of sudden shelling that can kill a large number of enemies, the next step is to set the target according to the parameters provided by the front. Clear. You don’t want to interfere with the artillery, the main thing is to protect the artillery positions.”

Wei Chong suddenly thought: "There is another problem. The three battalions responsible for the defense and blocking mission in the north have all arrived at the designated positions now? The little devil has no troops in the south, and all reinforcements will come from the north. The pressure on them is not small."

Zhao Sanbao nodded and said: "Don't worry, they entered the designated location to hide in the early morning, waiting for your final order. Besides, since July, the boss has sent a telegram almost every other day. Although we don't understand it is What do you mean, but the relevant preparations should not be taken lightly."

"There are fortifications in Yixian County and south of Laishui, and the blocking forces are not in a hurry. Do you need to mobilize before the battle?" Zhao Sanbao finally asked: "Now that all the troops have entered the attack starting point, I am afraid that the mobilization before the battle is too late. gone?"

Wei Chong shook his head: "Mobilize what? At six o'clock in the afternoon, ask the operator to send the boss's telegram to all battalion-level units intact. They are not fools, and they will understand what the boss means. Use The fiercest firepower completely breaks down the enemy's will to fight, and then launches a charge."

"Order the two artillery positions to start shelling at eight o'clock sharply and end at nine o'clock, and then support the battle ahead according to the standard of fixed-point clearing. Since the establishment of the heavy artillery regiment, it is finally about to show its power. I didn't expect the boss's first opponent. The 6th Division, Hisao Tani should feel very honored."

They are here to arrange the final tactical rhythm. Ling Kaishan, who has been lurking in Qingyuan County for a year, and his four reconnaissance companies with more than 1000 people are now very busy.

First of all, the troops defending the city had retreated at [-]:[-] noon yesterday, and there were no troops in the city.So the first thing Ling Kaishan and the others have to do is to get out the tunnel entrance of Zhili Governor's Mansion before the little devil enters the city, and then they need to hide it well.

The second point is to plant landmines in relevant places according to the request of the boss in Chengde.Of course, they are not real landmines, but Ling Kaishan got them through "Shanxi Merchants", 18000 "Made in Taiyuan" wooden handle grenades!

The place of burial is the four city gates of the county seat.If the enemy deploys heavy troops in these places and heavy artillery cannot solve the problem, 36 "four-man detonation teams" will use direct detonation to open the attack channel for the siege troops.

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