Chapter 1353 Victory is in sight

9:45 a.m., Taiwan Governor's Office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe nine-story building, which was built in an east-to-west pattern to show that it was "contrary to China", is now surrounded by raging flames, and the dancing flames can clearly feel the blazing temperature even if you stand 500 meters away.

Governor Kobayashi stood far away, his chubby face with green muscles exposed, his eyes gloomy, and a group of cabinet officials around him silent. Hundreds of brave soldiers were instantly devoured by the flames and became fire men, and died tragically in the terrible wail, and now no one dares to approach the fire again. Kobayashi was extremely annoyed in his heart, but he was helpless, the destruction of this building that symbolized his rule would bring great trouble to his rule.

For the sake of this war, the Taiwan Governor's Office wantonly levied high war taxes in Taiwan and looted all strategic materials such as grain, sugar, and gold, and actively cooperated with the operations of the base camp.

However, as a naval commander who had a deep understanding of air supremacy, Kobayashi had tried his best to oppose the transfer of Taiwan's air force to fight in North China, but in the end the opposition did not work, and the fighter plane was still transferred; last night he received the news that more than half of the imperial air force had been lost in the air battle, and he was faintly uneasy about Taiwan's air defense.

Since Kobayashi took office in October last year, he has ruled Taiwan on the three principles of imperialization, industrialization, and southward baseization. In November last year, he set up the Taiwan Colonization Co., Ltd., a joint venture between the government and the people, to mainly develop Taiwan's uncultivated land, immigrate to Taiwan, assist Taiwanese in engaging in commercial trade in Nanzhi and Nanyang, vigorously develop Taiwan's industry, vigorously promote Taiwan's imperialization movement, forcibly abolish the Chinese column of Taiwan's newspapers, reward Taiwanese to change their names in other countries, advocate singing songs and watching "patriotic movies," prohibit singing and puppet plays, abolishing Taiwan's lunar customs, compulsorily visiting shrines, and believing in Amaterasu. Control of the export of rice and sucrose.

Since the outbreak of the war in North China, out of fear that the Taiwan people would set off a wave of resistance against Japan, Kobayashi Jizao, in the name of the governor of Taiwan, issued a strong statement, prohibiting the Taiwan people from acting rashly and rashly, issuing wartime warnings, and at the same time setting up an intelligence committee, in conjunction with the garrison headquarters, to prohibit the Taiwan people from participating in anti-Japanese activities, to control speech and publications, to forcibly disband all political organizations in Taiwan, and to prohibit the Taiwan people from carrying out political activities.

Originally, in Kobayashi's view, these measures had achieved initial results, and after the initial turmoil, everything was calm again, but with today's bombing, everything will come to naught, representing the emperor, the burning of the governor's palace overlooking Taipei and even Taiwan, which will surely damage the image in the minds of the Taiwanese people, awaken the memory of the Chinese, and actively participate in the struggle, and this is what Kobayashi is most afraid of.

"We will immediately summon local reporters from Britain, the United States, and other countries, as well as Taiwan, to complain about the Air Force's wanton massacre of our innocent civilians, and we will deal the heaviest blow to the government and the military in terms of propaganda and public opinion." Kobayashi commanded with a gloomy face.

"Hey!"

Army staff member Nobuji Kogura bowed and agreed, but quickly raised his head hesitantly: "The army bombed all military targets, and the dead and wounded so far are all emperors, where are Taiwanese civilians from?" ”

"Baga!"

Kobayashi Jizao was about to vent his anger, but when he heard this, he stretched out his hand and slapped him twice, and scolded angrily: "Won't you go to the street to arrest dozens of people, quietly dispose of them and throw them around the airport and barracks?" Remember, bullet marks try to do like they were killed by a bomb, understand? ”

"Hey!"

said it so bluntly, Ogura Shinji didn't understand that it was really a pig's head, and he hurriedly bowed with his face covered with handprints, and then quickly left with a small team of opposing troops.

Kobayashi raised his head, pointed to the Governor's Mansion building, which was still on fire, and said to a group of colonial officials of the opposing country: "We want to build an identical Governor's Palace on the original site and reshape the spirit of our empire against the other country!" What do you think? ”

"Your Excellency the Governor!"

Many officials nodded their heads, but they were a little disapproving. Now that the country is fighting against China with all its might, and millions are to be spent to build a building at once, the base camp will certainly not allow it, and the construction plan of the Governor's Palace may be far away.

At this time, the siren sounded again violently, and dense fighters appeared in the distant sky, and the second wave of air raids by the Chinese Air Force came again.

Xiao Lin Jizao's face changed drastically, and he waved his arm weakly: "Withdraw, withdraw to the civilian area, people dare not do anything to the civilians, at this time, we must endure until our imperial air force soars in the sky again!" ”

"Hey!"

A group of cabinet officials who had long felt uneasy, such as Meng Dayu, immediately crowded around Kobayashi and ran towards the low-rise Chinese houses, where the devil's gendarmes were going door-to-door to evict the aborigines, leaving a "refreshing" space for the officials of the Governor's Palace.

......

At ten o'clock in the morning, Beiwu Town, north of Yanjiao, Beiping.

The battle, which began in the early hours of the morning, continues to the present.

Under the absolute firepower superiority of the 64 125 howitzers of the two artillery regiments directly under the regiment and the 17th Army, the three main divisions of the Fifth Army Corps, which had already lost more than half, easily broke through the defense of the 20th Division and the 27th Division of the opposing army on the front line of the digging hill, and advanced to the front line of Mafang Town. After the model battalion sacrificed more than 100 pack horses to clear mines, the 17th Division, which was responsible for attacking the fortification, squeezed into Mafang Town like a nail, and engaged the opposing army in the town in close combat, and with the help of strong melee firepower, firmly occupied the center of the town, and the opposing army was repulsed several counterattacks.

Subsequently, the independent division and the fortieth division, which poured into the town, quickly launched an attack on the left and right flanks, scattering the opposing army's defensive line and soon collapsing the entire line.

The reason why the opposing army's self-proclaimed impregnable defensive line was broken through so easily was that the 170th Division succeeded in pinning down most of the strength of the two divisions of the opposing army.

In order to quickly wipe out the remnants of the enemy behind him and concentrate on coping with the breakthrough of the remnants of the three divisions of the Fifth Army Corps, the commanders of the two divisions got together and put together a little together, believing that there were 20th Divisions and 27th Divisions actively resisting in the east, and that the remnants of the Anjia Army were not so quick to kill the enemy, so they immediately decided to send the main force to strangle the enemy behind them.

When the arrogant opposing army successfully approached the squadron behind it, the nightmare began, bursts of "thunder" came from the west, and a lot of explosive bags appeared in the sky, they flew, rolled, and roared, drawing a terrifying trajectory in the air, and then fell down densely, smashing into the shock formation of the opposing army.

Most of the opposing army directly chose to lie down, and a small part jumped into the ditch used by the farmers next to them for irrigation, and then the continuous violent explosions came, and the shock wave raged wildly, and the dense devil soldiers became small dice that kept shaking on the gambling table, and the earth was turned upside down.

The direct killing area of a "dynamite package projectile" is 10 meters, and the radiation area of the shock wave is 30 meters. And 100 explosives bags were smashed down in parallel lines, stirring up gunpowder smoke in the sky within a few hundred meters, and instantly reimbursing nearly a thousand devils.

Because the power of the explosion was too terrifying, many of the devil soldiers who were outside the range of the explosion point were also deaf, and their eyes were bloody, and they couldn't hear it no matter how much their boss scolded them.

After a stalemate of nearly half an hour, the opposing army finally put in order to organize its ranks and attack again, only to be attacked again by rockets, rushing left and right for more than an hour, and not taking a single step forward. At this time, the rear front collapsed under the full attack of the three divisions of the Anjia Army, and the commander of the opposing army saw this, so he had to join forces and retreat in the direction of Sanhe County.

After successfully joining up with the 170th Division, Hu Jialin, Lu Yixuan and others did not have time to ask Sui Kang how he created this miracle, and immediately ordered to pull out, and the whole army quickly withdrew in the direction of Beiwu Town.

At this time, Beiwu Town was under fierce attack by the opposing army in the direction of Yanjiao, and traces of the opposing army were also found on the west bank of the Chaobai River. Fortunately, the guard brigade directly under the regiment that had been evacuated from Nanyuan Airport in time had successfully moved to the place half an hour ago, and was rushing to repair the fortifications and confront the enemy from Tongxian.

The blocking position in the south of Beiwu Town, at this time, the opposing army was carrying out intensive artillery attacks, and the violent explosion sounded in one piece, and the air that was sharply compressed by the explosion brought bursts of sharp whistling sounds.

In order to ensure the smooth crossing of the river by the field hospital of the regiment and the artillery and baggage units that lagged behind, the Independent Division, the 17th Division, and the 40th Division quickly transferred manpower to form a brigade, led by Zhang Zuying, commander of the 17th Division, and threw it into the position on the southern front, while the 170th Division quickly crossed the river and came to the west bank of the Chaobai River to strengthen the defensive strength of the independent brigade directly under it.

Under the frantic attack of the opposing army in Beiping, the 77th Army and the 59th Army held Beiyuan and Xiyuan without retreating, ensuring the safety of Shunyi, Gaoliying, Tangshan, Huairou and Miyun counties, and at the same time firmly controlling the Crescent River Bridge retreating to Changping and Nankou, thus gaining enough time for the retreat of the Fifth Army.

Yang Guan, commander of the independent division, led the special service regiment and the special brigade to the west bank of the Crescent River, on the one hand, to facilitate communication and liaison with the 29th Group Army, and on the other hand, when the 77th Army and the 59th Army were not supported, they had the intention of going up to ensure the safety of the retreat of the corps. Yang Jiuxiao led the troops and cooperated with Lu Yixuan and Zhang Chengzhu to organize the transfer of the legion.

In the name of the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps, Hu Jialin sent reports on the battle situation to the headquarters of the Anjia Army, the fourth hall of the Military Commission, and the commander An Yi's office, and together with Huang Zhi, he strode into the headquarters in the underground fortifications 300 meters behind the first line position in the south of Beiwu Town.

Seeing the two army leaders walk in, Brigade Commander Zheng Songjian of the 170th Division, who had just joined Zhang Zuying and was reporting to work, was very surprised, he didn't expect Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi to come to the most dangerous front-line position in person.

"Commander, Chief of Staff! It's too dangerous here, you have to go down right now! Zheng Songjian anxiously said to Hu Jialin, in the violent explosion in the front position, the sound of people talking was difficult to hear, so he had to come to Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi's side, shouting hoarsely.

Looking at the lieutenant colonel and brigade commander in front of him, who was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, graduated from Fudan University in Shanghai, and was stationed in Kunshan by the Northern Expedition Independent Regiment, he made many meritorious deeds, and grew up quickly from a small soldier, Hu Jialin smiled slightly: "You fought very well and bought enough time for the army to break through." Don't worry, the chief of staff and I are here to see how you teach the other side a lesson, and we will not interfere with your command! ”

After that, Hu Jialin calmly looked at every officer in the command headquarters, his voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly. Hu Jialin's calmness and composure quickly infected everyone, and everyone began to continue to perform their duties.

Zhang Zuying came to Hu Jialin's side and said softly: "Brigade Commander Zheng is very disciplined in fighting, and now the defense line is still relatively stable, the reinforcements I brought are seizing the time to rest in the back tunnel at the moment, I asked Zhao Tingfang, Jiao Yida, and their generals to take a good breather, they are tired from the continuous marching and fighting in the past few days." ”

"It's good to take a break! In the past few days, the Independent Division, the 17th Division, and the 40th Division have all worked hard, and the losses have been very large, and it is estimated that they will have to rest for a while before they can recover their combat strength after withdrawing. ”

Hu Jialin nodded and encouraged: "But let's grit our teeth and persevere, walk a hundred miles and a half, as long as we withdraw to a safe place, we can rest as long as we want at that time." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Zuying saluted and said with a smile: "I'll go to the back to take a look, and then bring someone up when the situation is critical." ”

"Go ahead!"

Hu Jialin waved his hand.

Huang Zhi returned to Hu Jialin from the lookout: "Brigade Commander Zheng's position is very reasonable, with anti-tank trenches, anti-artillery holes, individual bunkers and machine gun bunkers, and it can be seen that he has put a lot of thought into defense. The 170th Division was originally a supplementary division, and the rank of the commander of their division was similar to that of the brigade commander of our main division, but this time they fought very well, from Sui Kang to the generals below, they all showed extraordinary ability, and it seems that after this test of blood and fire, our regiment can harvest a main force that can fight when called. ”

Hu Jialin saw Zheng Songjian, who was nervously discussing with the staff officers, and nodded with satisfaction: "This can be regarded as a big gain on this trip, but this time our regiment has suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that the divisions will have to be reorganized after the withdrawal, I don't know if the 170th Division will be split by the Military Commission to replenish the divisions, my opinion is to keep it......"

Before Hu Jialin's words fell, a neat and passionate cheer suddenly sounded in the south, one after another, shaking the earth.

Huang Zhi listened carefully and said with a smile: "I'm shouting long live the emperor again, this little devil is really crazy, every time he launches a charge, he will shout a few words like this, as if their emperor can bless them from being shot in the sky, is there such a good thing?" ”

Hu Jialin walked quickly to the lookout, raised his binoculars, and only listened to the shouts of "sticking black cards, onboarding", while shouting loudly and cheering up, the devil soldiers followed behind the opponent's ** medium tanks, lined up in a loose queue, and pressed towards the black pressure of the Anjia army's defense line.

At the sound of the whistle, the Chinese officers and soldiers in the anti-artillery holes quickly entered the positions and stood ready for battle, and none of them were afraid of the strong lineup displayed by the opposing army. After overnight construction, enough anti-tank mines were laid at the front of the position, and new anti-tank weapons were temporarily equipped with the troops, and everyone was confident that they would hold the position again.

In the midst of a piercing scream, melon grenades from the opposing army rained down from the sky, enveloping the forward positions in a thick cloud of fire and smoke. The Devil Grenadier began throwing grenades to suppress the defensive firepower of the An Jia Army and cover the advance of its infantry.

Due to the frequent shelling of the opposing army, the trenches had long been blown to pieces, and this round of intensive attacks on grenadiers still brought a lot of casualties to the defenders.

The opponent's army's **-type medium tanks lined up, using their steel bodies to open the way in front, and the devil soldiers who followed behind slowly squirmed forward like ants, and pounced on the entire Anjia army defense line.

The tankmen of the opposing army were very cunning, driving the tanks forward for a while, and then stopped and shelled all suspicious targets with the Type 90 57mm tank guns.
