Chapter 147: Lanfeng's Offensive and Defensive Battle (12)
It is said that the 16th Division of the Japanese Army marched to Dangshan from Fengxian and Peixian, but unexpectedly met with desperate resistance from the defenders of Dangshan, and more than 20,000 people of the 16th Division attacked for one night, losing two or three thousand people, and did not capture Dangshan.
Keisuke Fujie, who had just been promoted to commander of the 16th Division, saw that the war was not going well, and he felt a little angry in his heart, and called the generals of various departments to scold him. However, at this moment, the news that Kenji Dohihara was trapped in Lanfeng came again. After learning of the situation, Teng Jiang Huifu was shocked, at this time, his troops were closest to Lan Feng City, and the rescue mission naturally fell on his head.
Teng Jiang Keisuke summoned his staff officers to discuss countermeasures. Chief of Staff Mitsuo Nakazawa said: "Although the Dangshan defenders are tenacious, I think they are now at the end of their strong crossbows, so there is nothing to fear. After capturing Dangshan tomorrow, we will march west along the railway and take Guide in one fell swoop. At that time, the defense line from the Chinese army to Guide will be broken, and the plight of Your Excellency Tu Feiyuan will also be solved. ”
Keisuke Fujie nodded, quite satisfied with Nakazawa's analysis.
Sure enough, the Japanese army continued to attack the city early the next morning, and not long after the battle, they suddenly received the news that the defenders of Dangshan City had retreated. Keisuke Fujie immediately ordered the pursuit, but not long after the pursuing troops set off, they were overturned on their backs by the bombers, and suffered heavy casualties. It turned out that when Huang Jie was retreating, he ordered people to plant a lot of mines at the intersections of key roads along the way to block the speed of the Japanese army's advance.
Keisuke Fujie was furious and ordered his subordinates to go to nearby villages and towns to arrest the Chinese people, intending to use the Chinese people to open the way. However, he was stopped by Mitsuo Nakazawa.
Do you think this Japanese army staff officer has pity on the Chinese people? Not!
Nakazawa Mitsuo said: "It is too much time to capture the Chinese people and go to the mines, and now we must seize the time to pursue, it is better to mobilize heavy tanks to open the way in front." ”
Keisuke Fujie immediately agreed.
Soon, 8 heavy tanks were transferred to the pursuit front, and the tracks of heavy tanks were so strong that ordinary mines could not damage them at all. With them in front of the road, the Japanese army was in step and coordinated, and the marching speed was not slow.
However, when the Japanese forward troops chased to the vicinity of Zhou Tower, they were suddenly attacked, and four tanks were hit and exploded and caught fire in an instant.
The commander of the Japanese army's forward, the commander of the 9th Infantry Wing, Gu Xianjian, was shocked and immediately ordered people to search for the enemy, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find even half a figure. Gu Xianjian was suspicious and ordered the team to slow down the pace of progress.
At the same time, two kilometers east of Zhoulou, in Xiaoli Village, Li Hu, who was ambushed here, watched with greed as Heizi and others beside him were operating a new sniper rifle to fight tanks, and his heart was itching.
So Li Hu said with a shy face: "Brother Heizi, let me try to shoot too?" ”
Heizi said: "Captain Li, are you okay?" ”
Li Hu patted his chest and said, "Of course, you let me try, I'll only shoot one." ”
Heizi thought about it and let go of the gun, Li Hu happily threw himself on the ground, held the very metallic NT-20 in his hand, and carefully rubbed it.
Heizi handed him a bullet, and Li Hu caught it and exclaimed, "Huo, this bullet is big enough." ”
Kuroko said: "Of course, this is a bullet caliber of 20mm, which is specially designed to deal with tanks." ”
Li Hu put the bullet into the chamber of the gun, pushed the bolt, aimed at a Japanese tank two kilometers away through the high-powered telescope, and then pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the bullet immediately flew out of the chamber, but it did not hit the tank, but knocked down seven or eight Japanese soldiers around the tank.
It turned out that the penetrating power of the bullet was too great, and the Japanese soldiers stood densely, like a string of sugar gourds, and a large piece of death was killed.
Li Hu picked up the binoculars and looked over there, only to see a Japanese soldier in front of him being directly beaten to pieces, looking miserable, and couldn't help but say: "Grandma is a bear, this power is too big." ”
It was Li Hu's shot that finally allowed the Japanese army to find the target. About 1,000 Japanese troops immediately scattered and rushed towards this side, and the special combat team had to be transferred, and the Japanese troops immediately pursued after them, but by the time they reached Jinzhuang east of Xiayi Station, several open-road tanks had been wiped out by the sniper team.
The tank was destroyed, and the commander of the 9th Wing, Gu Xianjian, did not dare to take it lightly, so he simply ordered the troops to stop and not pursue again.
Li Hu, who had already returned to the headquarters of Xiaogang Town, said worriedly after hearing the news: "Oops, the Japanese army seems to be scared, if they stop moving, won't the 'big meal' we prepared for them be wasted?" ”
"Can't waste it!" Wang Weiguo walked over with a smile, handed a telegram to Bai Fei in his hand, and said: "The latest news from Lanfeng, an hour ago, Tu Feiyuan personally led the armored troops to open the way, breaking through from all sides of Lanfeng City, and was beaten by Li Hansoul and Song Xilian, with countless casualties, and more than 90 tanks and armored vehicles that fell into the deep ditch alone, haha, it's really happy!" Now that Tu Feiyuan saw that he could not break through, he had already led the remnants to retreat to Lanfeng City. ”
Bai Fei's spirit was shocked when he heard this, he took the telegram and looked at it at a glance, and after reading it, he said to Li Hu with a smile: "Not to mention the failure of the breakthrough of Tufeiyuan, and the loss of a large number of chariots, it is inevitable that it will continue to send distress signals to the outside, and now it is the Japanese who are in a hurry, the 16th Division is so close, I don't believe that they will not come to the rescue, let's just wait here, come to a siege point to help." Hey, hey, let's see who can afford whom. ”
Bai Fei guessed well, and Keisuke Fujie was very anxious now.
The failure of the breakthrough of Tufeiyuan and the great loss of strength made the already unfavorable situation of the 14th Division even worse, and if it could not go to the rescue as soon as possible, the 14th Division was likely to face the situation of total annihilation.
After receiving the telegram that the 14th Division had failed to break through, Keisuke Fujie knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance at full speed. Unexpectedly, when he led the large army to the area of Jin Zhuang, he found that the 9th Wing of the forward team was stalled here.
After asking about the situation, Keisuke Fujie angrily slapped the commander of the 9th Wing, Gu Xianjian, more than a dozen times, and scolded: "Bagayanu, the loss of a few tanks makes you scared, it's a bastard!" Lead your troops to clear the way ahead! ”
"Hey!" Gu Xianjian didn't dare to let go, and immediately ran west with the 9th Wing.
Not long after, the defense line built by the two battalions of Bai Fei in Zhaozhuang and other places was connected to fire.
Fujie Keisuke immediately picked up the binoculars and looked west, and when he saw the middle ** people in the distance wearing military police uniforms, Fujie Keisuke smiled: "I didn't expect that the Shina government would even send military police to fight." ”
Before Keisuke Fujie was transferred to the commander of the 16th Division, he served as the commander of the military police in the Kwantung Army, so he was sensitive to the military police. And his predecessor is Nakajima Jin Chaogo, which is also wonderful. After this guy captured Nanjing, he was appointed as the commander of the Nanjing garrison, and he lived in the old official residence of ****** at that time, because he was jealous of the property in the official residence, he actually staged a scene of theft, and stole the property of the ****** and transferred it back to the interior of Japan. Some time ago, Nakajima Imago was transferred back to Japan due to injury and illness and served as the commander of the defense of Central Japan. And will be the commander of the Fourth Army of the Kwantung Army in July this year, and then his theft of property will be discovered, and he will be immediately removed from his post and transferred to the reserve.
Nakajima wrote in his diary: "The Japanese are very curious, and when they heard that it was the 'National Government', they came to see it. It's okay to just see what you want, or just to supervise the soldiers who steal something, but the thieves are upright officers, which is really jaw-dropping. If you are looking for something within your own jurisdiction, you will go with him, at least as a manifestation of battlefield psychology, and probably don't think it is against morality. But it would be too much to enter someone else's sphere of influence, let alone steal carelessly in a building that has been nailed to the headquarters sign. ”
However, he himself is a complete thief, and such a statement is really ridiculous.
