Chapter 1242 Thunder Strike

As Lu Yixuan judged, the arrogant 20th Division of the Japanese Army really slackened!

After the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army, which returned from victory, returned to Beishuangmiao, the mental state of *** quickly fell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the past three days, the 77th Wing, like all units of the 20th Division, has been very, very tired.

After a long time of boat ride, it was extremely exhausting, and after landing in Dagu, there was no rest, and immediately rushed to Beishuangmiao, and after the sneak attack on the 29th Army's temporary 3rd Division and 1st Brigade succeeded, due to the fear of retaliation from the Anjia Army and the 38th Division of the 29th Army stationed in Langfang, he could only keep his tired eyes open and be on guard until dawn, and then he took turns to rest.

However, before the physical strength was recovered, the opponent unexpectedly launched a sudden attack, which made the 77th Wing, which was already on the verge of physical exhaustion, have to experience high-intensity battles, and even the 78th Wing stationed in Wuqing, in order to prevent the An Jiajun from taking advantage of the fire and robbery, also rushed to the aid of Beishuangmiao, and the entire army was in a high degree of tension and exhaustion.

Second, the 77th Wing successfully defeated a regiment composed of deserters from the 3rd Provisional Division, and finally won an overwhelming victory in the battle with an opponent nearly twice its size, and in the night battle that lasted for more than two hours, there was no large-scale attack by the 20th Division and even the 17th Division of the Anjia Army, which was most feared by the top brass of the garrison army, which made the officers and men of the 20th Division very proud and satisfied under the victory.

At the end of the war, the best opportunity for the Anjia Army to attack in the west had been lost, and the 78th Wing supporting Beishuangmiao also returned to Wuqing City to rest with pride, and all signs showed that the Anjia Army, which had been building defensive positions for nearly a week, did not have the courage to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, and the high-ranking generals of the Japanese army in North China also felt this way:

There was a huge contradiction between Song Zheyuan's 29th Army and the An Jia Army, and the situation of not saving himself in order to preserve his strength abounded in the Chinese civil war for many years, and this time was no exception.

Therefore, the Japanese generals finally completely relieved their hearts, and even despised the so-called Anjia Army, the most elite unit in China, and in a state of good feeling and blind self-confidence, the exhausted Japanese army finally let go of all their guards, collectively ***, and was ready to sleep well.

At 5:30 a.m., with the explosion of mortar shells, the surprise attack commanded by Lu Yixuan, deputy commander of the 17th Army, suddenly began.

Dense mortar shells poured down on the two barracks in Zhenzhong and Zhennan, and the shelling lasted for more than five minutes, causing heavy casualties to the sleeping and tired Japanese troops.

More than 300 war horses broke free from their reins in the violent explosions and firelight, and fled in all directions, screaming loudly, the war horses hit by the shells were thrown high, the blood and broken limbs scattered everywhere, and the only two barracks and a long horse shed collapsed and burned.

More than 14,000 officers and men of the three brigades of the 17th Division, which had quietly moved to the edge of the town at 1.5 kilometers, jumped up at the first explosion of the shells, and under the leadership of commanders at all levels, rushed to the town in three ways.

The Japanese soldiers who survived the shelling hurriedly got up, and in the dense explosions, the Japanese soldiers who were all on fire rushed to the open field one by one with a wail, and the messy gunshots, shouts and crackling sounds of burning fire were intertwined, and they were soon drowned out by the dense sound of shooting and roars that resounded in all directions.

......

The Japanese guard post in Wuqing City had been alarmed by the sound of dense explosions faintly coming from afar, and the news of the 77th Wing's request for help had not yet arrived, and the officers and men of the 78th Wing had already hurriedly got up in the sound of urgent orders, assembled in less than 10 minutes, and rushed to the battle site in the north.

The exhausted 78th Wing of the Japanese army ran for half an hour, and when it reached the bank of the small river six kilometers away from Beishuangmiao, it was already at the end of the crossbow. More than 30 Japanese officers and men on board flew into the sky under the impact of the powerful explosive force, and smashed the head and tail of the body several meters above the ground on the edge of the road, making a series of huge crashing sounds, and then rolling continuously, and the dazzling flames illuminated the field in the thick smoke of gunpowder.

The second personnel carrier in the follow-up crashed into two Japanese officers and soldiers who fell from the sky in succession, the front of the car suddenly turned left, and frantically rushed down the roadbed, and the follow-up trucks braked urgently, and the exclamations and screams rang out, and the suddenly attacked reinforcements immediately stopped advancing, and scattered and concealed in panic in the sound of the command, and a large-caliber artillery shell whistling six kilometers to the west flew in due course, and the earth-shattering explosion illuminated a radius of one kilometer into red, and several troop transport trucks parked on the highway were shot instantly, and the wreckage flew in all directions.

The continuous shelling lasted nearly 10 minutes, and all seven Japanese troop trucks were destroyed, two of which exploded and caught fire, and more than 600 Japanese soldiers were killed and countless others were wounded.

When the shelling stopped, the entire area was scorched, blackened craters could be seen everywhere in the flames, fragments of broken military uniforms flew everywhere in the steaming air, and mutilated limbs could be seen everywhere.

Before the surviving Japanese troops came to their senses, the dense machine gun sound suddenly sounded again, and the officers and men of the two brigades of the 40th Division commanded by Yang Jiuxiao had already rushed to the area of about 200 meters west of the highway and launched a merciless attack on any moving target, and the remaining Japanese troops of the 78th Wing finally fled frantically to the south under the thunderous blow of the squadron.

......

When dawn came, the gunfire stopped, the billowing smoke filled the air, and the town of Beishuangmiao was full of soldiers of the Anjia Army wearing steel helmets and camouflage uniforms.

The corpses of Japanese soldiers were rolled over for examination, and the Japanese officers and soldiers who were still barely breathing quickly stopped breathing under the bayonets, and the back of more than ten war horses that were finally brought back were filled with all kinds of light and heavy machine guns, and the infantry guns that could not be removed quickly were shattered and twisted in the sound of explosions, and 4,312 Japanese corpses were scattered inside and outside the town.

At 7:10 a.m., the last villager of Beishuangmiao Town, supported by two soldiers of the 17th Division, crossed the river safely, and three long teams composed of stretchers and soldiers and civilians bathed in the morning sun and slowly marched westward.

On both sides of the six-kilometer highway south of the Beishuang Temple, it is a mess.

In the wheat field that began to bear ears, the red light was blazing, three unrecognizable trucks that had subverted the roadside were still burning, hundreds of craters of different shapes were still in smoke, and the roads were lined with Japanese corpses, but not a single weapon was left.

......

At eight o'clock in the morning, the South Sichuan People's Radio Station solemnly broadcast to the whole people:

"Beginning at 6:30 p.m. the day before yesterday, the 77th and 78th Wings of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, which had savagely invaded our territory in North China, disregarded the promise made by the Japanese Army Headquarters in North China to stop all military operations during the negotiations, flagrantly violated and trampled on international law, and by extremely despicable means and in extremely cruel ways, they suddenly attacked the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Provisional Division of the 29th Army stationed there on the line from Wuqing County to Beishuangmiao in the west of Tianjin, and brutally killed more than 700 officers and men stationed there without defense.

"The officers and men of the 3rd Division, unable to bear it any longer, rose up at 9 o'clock last night to resist, and the battle lasted for two and a half hours, and our officers and men were finally defeated under the fierce attack of the superior forces of the Japanese army and artillery fire. The unscrupulous Japanese army was even more arrogant, and at 5:30 a.m. today, it launched a sudden and brutal attack on the 17th Army of the Fifth Army Corps, which was stationed west of Langfang and Wuqing. The officers and men of our 17th Division suffered heavy casualties, and in anger they were forced to return fire, but with the strong support of the officers and men of the 40th Division, who rushed to the rescue, they turned defeat into victory, routed the invading enemy, and pursued the enemy with victory.

"The battle ended at 6:50 this morning, and the officers and men of the 17th and 40th Divisions won a brilliant victory, eliminating more than 5,000 invading Japanese troops, seizing a large number of weapons and equipment, and taking the initiative to withdraw to the original defense ......."

......

At 8:20 a.m., Lushan Throwing Pen Peak, Lushan Training Group.

An Yi personally drove to the front of the newly completed office building, parked the car and got out of the front of the car, happily tidied up his uniforms, the two guards and the adjutant Shen Fengdao were also refreshed and high-spirited, and whispered two jokes to each other, then walked to the door of the office building, and unexpectedly met a few old friends who had just gotten out of the car.

"Hello Director Zhou!"

An Yi politely stopped and saluted.

Director Zhou enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands with An Yi: "Congratulations, General An Yi, congratulations to the officers and men of the Fifth Army for giving the arrogant Japanese Thunderbolt blow and fighting a great victory that inspires the hearts of the army and the people!" ”

"Congratulations to General Ahn!"

Li Xiaolong, who was wearing a dark blue tunic, also came up to shake hands very happily.

An Yi smiled politely: "You have made a mistake, you should congratulate the officers and men of the 17th and 40th Divisions of the Fifth Army, they were forced to fight back when they couldn't bear it, and defeated the savage and arrogant enemy with a strong will and brave spirit, when I received the good news at dawn, I almost couldn't believe my ears, haha!" ”

"Oh? Didn't General An know before that? Isn't this battle the strategic command of the General Staff? Director Zhou asked thoughtfully.

An Yi put away his smile and explained solemnly: "I don't know, I was busy with the assignment of recruits all day yesterday, and I didn't hear my colleagues talk about it until the evening, and I got a detailed report on the local conflict on the North China Front from the commission. Originally, I thought that when the conflict was over, it would be over, and that everything would have to wait for the official report from the Political Affairs Committee. But I never expected that the Japanese would be so despicable and barbaric, extremely vicious, and take the initiative to provoke again...... I attended the meeting of the Central Military Commission last night, and I didn't sleep until late at night, and when I woke up this morning, I learned that the Japanese invaders had actually fought with our Central Army, which is really incredible! ”

Director Zhou, Li Xiaolong and the others looked at each other for a moment, turned to An Yi, and asked curiously: "Is this victory really an accident?" ”

"Yes! We didn't expect it before, we originally thought that the Japanese army was still afraid of our Fifth Army, but we didn't expect the Japanese army to be so arrogant, it seems that in the eyes of the Japanese army, our Fifth Army is no different from the Northeast Army and the 29th Army! An Yi shrugged his shoulders and replied with a wry smile.

Director Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "General An is too modest, haha!" I estimate that when I see Chairman Chiang later, I will definitely see his rare smile. ”

An Yi was stunned for a moment: "Oh...... So? To be honest, I'm still worried that the commission will be troubled by this, after all, peace talks are going on in North China, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for something like this to happen suddenly, and it seems that the situation is even more dangerous. I'm sorry, Director Zhou, everyone, I have to do business, and I am out of company! ”

"General An, please."

Li Xiaolong looked at the backs of An Yi and Shen Fengdao walking into the building, and asked in a puzzled low voice: "Vice Chairman Zhou, does General An really not know about this matter?" ”

Director Zhou smiled meaningfully: "What do you say? You know An Yi better than I do! ”

"Understood...... This cunning guy is getting more and more insidious......"
