Now the enemy is in a hurry, the loss of Langfang means that the railway is all paralyzed, the front line because there are sufficient prepared materials, it is not tight to hold on for three or five days, but now the plan to empty Beiping City is being implemented intensively, a large number of wagons are being sent to the Guannei, Langfang is lost, the train is all blocked outside Langfang City, less than midnight, the entire Jingshan Railway is waiting for the train to enter the city.

In case the front-line war is unfavorable and the second line of defense fails to stop the advance of the national army, then this railway is the life channel for the retreat of the Beiping Island Army.

Therefore, at this moment, the island army is even more eager to recapture Langfang, annihilate the airborne division, and open up this passage of life.

More than 20,000 troops of the two wings of the 2nd Guards Division surrounded the small city of Langfang into an iron barrel and launched a fierce attack on all sides.

It is a pity that they underestimated the will of the airborne division to fight, and even in the absence of logistics and rescue, the airborne division still stubbornly resisted, blocked them outside the city, and fought fiercely for a day and a night without a breakthrough.

This made Okamura Ningji anxious, and made several phone calls to the headquarters of the 2nd Guards Division, scolded the division commander Muto Akira to the blood, ordered him to end the battle no matter what before tonight, and ordered Tada Jun to send another wing from Tianjin to support.

After the July 7 Incident, he was then head of the General Staff Headquarters and tried his best to further expand the war of aggression against China, and he was present in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Xuzhou, and was even one of the founders of the Nanjing Massacre, committing heinous crimes against the Chinese people.

At that time, in the capacity of deputy chief of staff of the Central China Front, Muto Akira was responsible for arranging the camping of the island army in the Nanjing area. Muto Akira announced that there was a shortage of campsites outside Nanjing, and the officers and men of the island could choose camps at will in Nanjing. Under this order, as if opening the cage of a wild beast, the island army rushed to the streets and alleys of Nanjing, killing men when they saw them, raping women when they saw them, and robbing them when they saw property, which led to the Nanjing Massacre that shocked the whole world.

He is arrogant and violent, cunning, and an extreme militarist, so Liu Xianwei can be regarded as an opponent.

In a nondescript house in the southwest corner of the city, the temporary headquarters of the airborne division was set up here.

The enemy's artillery fire was mainly concentrated in the west, which was close to the western city wall, which was a blind spot for shells, and was relatively safe.

Although the guns and cannons in the city rumbled, the flames soared into the sky, and the fierce battle was in full swing, there was not a trace of panic in the command headquarters.

There were a few oil lamps lit in the room, the windows and doors were tightly covered with thick quilts, division commander Liu Xianwei stood in front of the combat sand table and was silent, chief of staff Wang Siqi was answering the telephone, and other staff officers were busy performing their duties without chaos.

The enemy interfered with wireless communications, so Liu Xianwei had no choice but to use local materials, dismantle all telephone lines in the city, and use telephones to connect several regiments.

Putting down the phone, Wang Siqi walked quickly to Liu Xianwei's side and said, "Han Mufeng called, the enemy increased the intensity of the attack, and just launched a round of charge with a scale of 1,000 people, and was repulsed. ”

Liu Xianwei nodded and said: "The railway station is the top priority, tell Han Mufeng that their third regiment must be nailed like a nail at the entrance of the railway station, and the enemy will never be allowed to attack a single step." ”

The Jingshan Railway passed through the city, and the railway entrance in the north of the city and the railway exit in the west of the city became important points for the island army to attack, once these two gaps were opened, the enemy's tanks could drive into the city, and the city of Langfang could not be defended.

Therefore, Liu Xianwei set up the headquarters in the west, and handed over the north to Han Mufeng, who was good at defense.

"I've explained everything, and besides, Han Mufeng can do it." Wang Siqi hesitated for a while, and then said: "However, we can't last long according to this way of fighting, it's only been more than a day, and the casualties have been close to four thousand. ”

Liu Xianwei was calm, glanced at Wang Siqi, and said, "Don't be so pessimistic, the general seat will not ignore it." ”

"The point is that the head seat doesn't know what happened to us here, can we really break through in the direction of Baxian according to the head seat's intention?"

"That's not good, before I came, the general seat was for me to attack Langfang, if the enemy has too many troops to retreat to Baxian, but now we have not destroyed the enemy's materials at all, and the strategic purpose of raiding Langfang has not been achieved at all, and we don't know what the situation is in Baxian, once we lose the protection of this city wall, how long can we hold out under the pursuit of the enemy's tanks? Therefore, at this time, we can only wait for the rescue of the main seat at this time. ”

"But if we don't break through now, the ammunition should run out by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, and then we will have to fight with the little devils with bayonets."

This is indeed a thorny problem, the airborne troops cannot carry too much ammunition, automatic fire consumes ammunition very much, and it is already very economical for the officers and men to hold out until tomorrow.

"Soza will definitely find a way to give us an airdrop." Liu Xianwei said with confidence.

Wang Siqi frowned unconsciously, he didn't know where Liu Xianwei's confidence came from, in this situation, there was no way to contact the outside world, and it was impossible for the general headquarters to know their location.

During the day, some air forces tried to enter the sky over Langfang, but they were quickly driven out by the enemy's air force, and the enemy's anti-aircraft fire on the ground was also very strong, and the planes did not dare to fly low at all, and naturally they could not find out the specific situation on the ground.

There is no airdrop location, where does this airdrop begin? Even if it is possible to release signal smoke, the enemy will immediately come to his senses, and when the airdrop plane arrives, there will be signal smoke everywhere.

Just when Wang Siqi was full of suspicions, a soldier came in to report that there was a sudden roar of an airplane in the sky, and the plane could not be seen, probably because he was afraid of the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower and did not dare to fly low, but there were parachutes inside and outside the city that began to land, and there were already people heading to the landing site.

Liu Xianwei and Wang Siqi glanced at each other, and they were puzzled, of course, this kind of night high-altitude airdrop could not be a person, only a material, could it be that the general seat was ready to airdrop a large area regardless of the enemy and me?

In this way, the airborne division will naturally be able to get a little bit of supplies, but in such a large area and tens of thousands of troops, even if it is airdropped uninterruptedly, it is difficult to guarantee the consumption of troops, besides, how can such a shrewd person in the headquarters give a piece of the pie to the enemy?

After a while, a few soldiers snorted and brought in a large wooden box, saying that it had just been dropped by the plane, and Liu Xianwei immediately ordered the soldiers to open it.

The soldiers knocked on the wooden box three times and divided it by two, but they looked at them all dumbfounded, and there was a big stone lying in the wooden box.
