Chapter 176 The Rumble of the Guns and the Hell of the Chariots

(This story is purely fictitious, please do not imitate!)

The "virgin battle" of the Air Force of the National Defense Forces ended with an extremely satisfactory result, which made the National Defense Forces very happy. Wu Aihua asked the Air Force of the National Defense Forces to come up with rewards as soon as possible, rewarding the meritorious personnel, and providing compensation to the sacrificed soldiers. Dissemination to the outside world by means of press releases.

"Fucking Kwantung Army! I didn't bother you, but you came to trouble me!" Although he won the victory, Wu Aihua was not happy in his heart.Indeed, as analyzed by Fufumi Yamashita, the National Defense Forces are indeed still unable to compete with Japan's national power.

Why do you say this? Didn't the National Defense Forces achieve a great effect of annihilating the enemy with very few casualties in each battle?In fact, just as Yamashita Fengwen said, the National Defense Forces really relied on tactics to win the battle against Suzuki Shigeyasu. The reason for destroying the opponent's artillery, otherwise, even if they win in the end, they will suffer heavy losses.In fact, the Japanese army made the mountain artillery battalion of the National Defense Forces very embarrassed with only small artillery such as grenades, which shows that the military quality of the Japanese army is indeed good.

However, Wu Aihua didn't want to seek the Kwantung Army's bad luck for the time being, he only made one move against the North China Front Army.

On September 9, after several days of secret campaigns, the 6st Division of the 1st Group Army of the National Defense Forces, the instructors directly under the National Defense Forces, the 1rd, 3th and 5th Armored Divisions directly under the National Defense Forces, and the 6rd Regiment of the Howitzer Brigade of the Artillery Division directly under the National Defense Forces, totaled 3 People formed the "Chahar Detachment" of the National Defense Forces and quietly arrived at the front lines of Huailai and Zhangjiakou.

Chahar Detachment of National Defense Forces: Commander Zhou Changbing, Deputy Commander Wang Weiqing, Chief of Staff Sun Yuantao.Zhou Changbing is the instructor teacher, Wang Weiqing is the commander of the 1st Division of the 1st Army, and Sun Yuantao is the deputy commander of the Armored Division.

The Zhangjiakou, Huailai, Xuanhua, and Yanqing lines were the northernmost area of ​​the "North Taihang Base" originally determined by Wu Aihua. However, due to the limited number of troops in the past few months, the above-mentioned places have been occupied by the Japanese Chahar Dispatched Corps.According to the report of Zhang Binxian, commander of the 1st Army of the National Defense Forces, except for Wang Weiqing's 1st Division, which arrived in northern Hebei earlier, the remaining 1 main divisions and troops directly under the Army will secretly arrive at the North Taihang Base around September 4.

After receiving this news, Wu Aihua was able to fight the Japanese army with combined punches.Taking Chahar from the north is the first move of Wu Aihua's combination boxing after the "first move" kick: left uppercut!

To occupy Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province, it is bound to have the most direct confrontation with the Japanese Kwantung Army's Chahar Dispatched Corps.

Previously, Wu Aihua only thought about this level, until one day, when he turned on the computer alone to check the information, he found that he had missed an important location: Baotou.Moreover, there is another advantage, that is, Baotou built the railway as early as 1923.

If a Chinese of later generations does not know the meanings of the names Daqing, Baotou, and Panzhihua, then he is definitely not Chinese.

The name of Baotou covers almost all important industrial categories such as steel, energy, textiles, minerals, ordnance, etc. The resources of metal mines, non-metal mines, animals and plants are very obvious, especially rare earth mines. gem.Building a complete industrial base with Baotou as the center is enough to double the economic strength of the National Defense Force within two years.

To occupy Chahar, you only need to eliminate the Japanese Kwantung Army dispatched corps, or directly face the large-scale offensive of the Kwantung Army, without considering the complexity of domestic politics at all.

At this time, the strength of the Japanese Kwantung Army was not considered strong, because Japan had not yet massively increased its troops.Even if the troops were increased later, it was impossible for Japan to mobilize a large number of Kwantung Army to the inside of the pass, otherwise, Japan in history would not leave a million Kwantung Army unused.

Therefore, if Wu Aihua wants to fully control Chahar, it seems that he only needs to annihilate the Kwantung Army Chahar Dispatch Corps, which is equivalent to the Japanese army between one division and two divisions.

After the Japanese offensive in the Pingjin area ended, the main line of defense of the Chahar Corps remained unchanged. Sakai Koji’s first independent mixed brigade was stationed in Zhangjiakou. Hideki Jo lived in Zhangjiakou; Masai Honda's mixed second brigade (without the word "independent", the Japanese army's organization was too complicated) stationed in Nankou and Juyongguan; Shinohara Seiichiro's mixed No.15 brigade stationed in Huailai (Huailai was captured by the brigade from Tang Enbo's 13th Army), and Miyoji Tanigawa's independent First Infantry Battalion was stationed in Huai'an.

In a word, the Japanese army was stationed along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway.As for the vast area of ​​Chahar to the north of Zhangjiakou, it is controlled by the "Mongolian United Self-Government". This "Mongolian United Self-Government" is actually a running dog of the Japanese army. Governmentism Fu Zuoyi.

According to the new situation, Wu Aihua delineated the eastern route of the "Northern Taihang Base" in Huailai, while the northern route was extended to Duolun and Baotou.

The task of the Chahar Detachment of the National Defense Forces is to annihilate the mixed 15th Brigade belonging to Shinohara Seiichiro who is entrenched in Huailai, as well as the ministries of Hideki Tojo and Koji Sakai who are entrenched in Baotou. Huailai built a barrier to the northeast of the "North Taihang Base" to ensure the safety of the Chahar region and the entire "North Taihang Base".

9月6日晚10时，战斗率先由王伟清率领的东线集团打响！第1集团第1师，拥有3个步兵团及1个炮兵团、1个战车团，全师25000人，而驻守怀来的筱原诚一郎的混成第15旅团只有两个联队，不到8000人的兵力。

Like Tang Enbo defending Huailai, Huailai Station is also the focus of Shinohara Seiichiro's defense.However, Wang Weiqing adopted a completely different tactic from the Japanese army. For the 16th Regiment of Colonel Goto Juro who was defending Huailai Station, Wang Weiqing only dispatched an infantry regiment for vigilance and surveillance. Dongdaying.

A few days ago, the Air Force of the National Defense Forces carried out warning bombings on Huailai and Zhangjiakou. Therefore, when Wang Weiqing commanded the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division and the 1st Battalion of the Chariot Regiment to attack the Devils Camp, they were immediately attacked by the 30th Regiment. Colonel Shikakura Toruro's tenacious resistance, infantry artillery, mortars, grenade grenade, etc. hit the ground in an orderly manner.

Seeing the tight defense of the Japanese army, Wang Weiqing immediately ordered the Artillery Battalion of the 1st Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the Tank Regiment to shoot at the enemy's wing.The Japanese army relied on the favorable terrain and strong fortifications, and the National Defense Army relied on fierce artillery fire and armored cover. The two sides fought happily!

The artillery battalion of the Marine Regiment of the National Defense Forces is a standard howitzer battalion equipped with 12 105mm howitzers. In the Japanese army, only the field artillery regiment or the independent field artillery regiment is equipped with this level of artillery, usually at the division level The combat troops are equipped with a field artillery regiment, just like the 20th Division of the Japanese Army is equipped with a 26th Field Artillery Regiment.

Therefore, the result of the confrontation between the two sides was that the Japanese army could no longer withstand the power of this howitzer after an hour, and had to transfer artillery from other directions to participate in the confrontation.

When all the artillery and troops of the Japanese army were transferred to block the 1st Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the Tank Regiment, the Artillery Regiment of the 1st Division, which had been itching for a long time, immediately launched a covering bombardment on the Japanese artillery positions.

The artillery regiment of the marine division and the artillery battalion of the marine regiment are not simply the addition and subtraction of several battalions and one regiment. The artillery regiment is equipped with 1 heavy artillery battalion and has 8 150mm cannons. It is by no means that two howitzers equal one Door cannon argument.Heavy artillery is generally used to attack strong fortresses.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

With the earth-shattering roar of 150 cannons, the Japanese fortresses were blasted into the sky!The Japanese army's defense line was quickly blasted by the invincible heavy artillery to open a big gap.

"The 1st Battalion of the Chariot Regiment, assault!" Seeing the opportunity coming, Wang Weiqing immediately waved and attacked!

24 "t-12" assault vehicles rushed out from behind a slope one after another, and rushed towards the Japanese camp!

"Da da da..." The machine gun on the tank began to roar.

"Boom, boom, boom..." This is the roar of the T-12 37 tank gun.

At the beginning, the tanks only dared to hide in the distance and fire shells because the Japanese army had 70mm infantry guns, which were a greater threat to light tanks. Cannon.However, all those chariots were taken to Zhangjiakou by the detachment commander Zhou Changbing.In Zhangjiakou, there is a field artillery unit of the Japanese army, which should not be underestimated.

Once the artillery of the Japanese army is destroyed, the tanks of the National Defense Forces basically have no opponents in the eastern battlefield where the artillery fire is not strong enough and the tanks are not thick enough.

"Boom——" tank guns are a kind of direct-firing guns, which can hit fixed targets within a distance of 3-500 meters, which is accurate one by one.In the area where the chariots ran over, the hidden grenadier firepower points and machine gun firepower points of the Japanese army were named by tank guns one by one.

Some Japanese soldiers who are not afraid of death are holding cluster grenades or explosives, trying to rush up to blow up the tanks. If there are two tanks in one tank, maybe the Japanese army will succeed, but Wu Aihua has never played such a petty trick If you want to play, you can play in clusters. As long as the tanks are dispatched, a battalion of 24 tanks and 48 armored personnel carriers will attack in unison. Not to mention artillery, there are hundreds of machine guns. The bullets from the machine gun swept over immediately.

In the early years, Zhuang Xizhen, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Independent Column, agreed to use a chariot company to attack the defense line of the national army. Later, he was not commended by Wu Aihua, but criticized.

Wu Aihua said that the power of a chariot lies in the group charge. If it is a chariot, it may not be able to deal with three soldiers or a soldier with a grenade launcher, but if dozens of hundreds, or even thousands of chariots charge , That is basically equivalent to a steamroller, no one can deal with such a group of tanks, unless the enemy also has dozens of hundreds or even thousands of cannons, otherwise, a single charge of the tanks can break the enemy's will!

Colonel Inokakura Toruro did not expect that one of his regiments resisted for only an hour before being beaten helplessly by the National Defense Forces who were not much larger than himself. In a panic, he assembled the last brigade The infantry force, ready with flesh and blood to defend the Wehrmacht's armored force.
