Chapter 431: The Ambitions of Japan's Top Leaders (1)

Although the situation on the front line looked somewhat "erosive", Han Yunhua did not issue a new combat order. Because Han Yunhua knew that the battle plan formulated by the Israeli Military Region before was perfect, as long as all units strictly implemented it, the Japanese army would find that there would be fewer and fewer troops on the front line for the offensive in a month, and there would be more and more non-combatants responsible for taking care of the wounded. This attack of the Japanese army should soon be transformed from a sortie to a defensive one, and when the time comes, the M-NG Ancient Military Region will concentrate its forces to strike an all-out blow, and then it will only be a matter of time before the North China Front is defeated and retreated.

Although Han Yunhua did not give any new instructions, but the troops on the front line did not have Lu-N, because Han Yunhua seriously and strictly dealt with Zhang Guoqing's disobedience two days ago, so at this time, both the troops on the front line and the newly formed troops in the rear had a new understanding of Han Yunhua, the commander who had always been gentle and elegant.

Under the deliberate concession of Han Yunhua's headquarters, the Japanese army's troops gradually advanced into the hinterland of the defense area of the M-Ng Ancient Military Region, especially the Japanese Fifth Division, which was the most rampant. Soon, the main force of the Ninth Brigade sent the main force of the Sixth Field Division to the area of Xuanhua County, and the Sixth Field Division was not ready to retreat anymore, so the Chinese and Japanese sides on the Xuanhua front were tense, the atmosphere was extremely tense, and a major battle was about to break out.

Xuanhua, Xuanhua District is located 28 kilometers southeast of Zhangjiakou, the capital of Chahar Province, which is an important link connecting Pingjin area and Saibei area, and is also the southeast M-N household of Zhangjiakou. Stationed in Xuanhua were the 1st Brigade, 1st Regiment and 3rd Regiment of the 6th Field Division, as well as the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade.

The Japanese Fifth Division was the main force attacking the Zhangjiakou area, and although this was an attack the next day and had caused great losses to the Fifth Division, the casualties of more than 2,000 people were nothing more than rain for the Fifth Division, which had a total strength of nearly 30,000.

Xuanhua Front

"Brigade commander, the Japanese army is about to attack, and it looks like today will be another tragic battle, I hope today's casualties will be smaller," Shi Yanqing, the political commissar of the first brigade, said with a sigh.

In fact, in the past few days, the big guys have been talking about how many troops the Japanese army has lost, how many can return to the battlefield in a short time, and how many have completely lost their combat effectiveness, but everyone has deliberately avoided the casualties of the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region itself. It is true that the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, but the casualties of the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region were not small. The 1st Brigade of the 6th Field Division alone lost more than 2,000 men in the fighting during this period, of which 800 were left on the front line, and the remaining more than 1,000 wounded have been urgently sent back to the military region for treatment. Compared with the strong logistics support of the Japanese army, the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region was unable to produce Y-O products at this time, so the healing rate of the wounded in the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region was much lower than that of the Japanese army. Therefore, less than one-third of the more than 1,200 wounded can really return to the battlefield in a short period of time, which means that in addition to the more than 800 people who died in the first brigade of the 10-odd days of fighting, there are about 800 wounded soldiers who cannot be rebuilt for the time being.

Shangguan Qing knew what Shi Yanqing meant, but as one of the actual formulators of this military plan, Shangguan Qingyuan knew much more than Shi Yanqing, so although he was extremely distressed about the casualties of the troops during this time, he had to harden his heart to fight the Japanese army to the death. Shangguan Qing picked up the water cup on the table and took a big sip, and then said with a fierce look: "Political commissar, no matter how big the casualties of the troops are, we must complete the orders issued by the superior leaders, according to the meaning of the division commander, Xuanhua must become one of the graves where the Japanese army is buried, although we don't need to defend Xuanhua, but we must let the Japanese army ambush millions of corpses under Xuanhua City. ”

"Brigade commander, every soldier in our first brigade is a jīng Ying of the military region, so there is no need to say this kind of thing, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and we will definitely complete the orders issued by the superior leaders, but before that, we must pay attention to the casualties of the troops, in just ten days, it has caused one-fifth of the troops' attrition, and we don't know when this battle will be fought, so it is still necessary to preserve our strength." Shi Yanqing is reasonable.

I don't know what Shi Yanqing said about Shangguan Qing, but now the entire military region must strictly implement the battle plan formulated by Han Yunhua, otherwise these losses will really be in vain.

"Political commissar, what you said is also reasonable, but the group of little devils we are facing is not ordinary, they are all real jīng sharp in the Japanese army, in addition to mountain artillery and field artillery, there are also combat vehicles and tanks, we now have no other long-range firepower except for a mountain artillery battalion, and it is very difficult to reduce casualties. Hehehe, but fortunately, Xuanhua has city walls and perfect city fortifications, and the people can be regarded as supporting us, the entire county has been turned into a giant fortress in the past two days, and we have no problem holding on for five or six days."

"Boom Boom"

"Boom Boom"

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside, and an overwhelming number of shells poured towards the county seat, followed by a low whimper

Shangguan Qing's face changed, and he hurriedly said loudly: "It's the Japanese air force, lie down immediately." With that, he rolled down and hid under the tent of the temporary headquarters.

After hearing Shangguan Qing's roar, the other cadres and staff officers in the command tent also hurriedly hid under the table and under the marching chu-ng.

However, there was still a staff officer who hid a little late, and was hit in the left arm by a piece of shrapnel flying in from outside, and suddenly the entire left arm of the staff officer was bleeding, and it seemed that the shrapnel had struck the major artery.

Another staff officer hurriedly crawled over to help him stop the bleeding, and the guards outside the command tent immediately c-o machine guns to counterattack. Fortunately, this time the Japanese aviation unit only tried to attack X-NG, and only eight planes came, so the situation in Xuanhua City was not bad, although many places in the city are now full of smoke, and even some places are already on fire, but the situation is not as bad as imagined, at least some important military facilities have not been hit.

"Pass my order and tell Yang Shilang, just say that the little devils are about to attack, and ask them to get ready. Today they can retreat up to five kilometers back, and the third line of defense must be held by me. In addition, send a report to the three regiments, and ask them to continue to strengthen the city fortifications today, just say that today's battle is not up to their three regiments, continue their old business, as long as the entire Xuanhua county is bunkered, not to mention a devil and an infantry division, even if he comes to ten infantry divisions, there is no way to take our brigade" Shangguan Qing said loudly.

The defense line of the 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment in Nantan, Gujiaying Town, Xuanhua County, was in full swing at this time.

By the time they received Shangguanqing's telegram, the Japanese had already launched an attack. After reading the telegram sent by Shangguan Qing, Yang Shilang, the commander of the first regiment, quickly asked the telegraph operator to reply a telegram to the brigade headquarters, the content of the telegram was very simple, only six words - to ensure the completion of the task.

"Regiment commander, the devil's chariot is coming," the commander of the first battalion, Uyun Jirile, said while holding a telescope while monitoring the Japanese troops on the front line.

Yang Shilang immediately walked to the lookout of the command post, picked up the binoculars and looked out, through the binoculars, Yang Shilang saw that the Japanese army about the size of an infantry squadron was following behind five Japanese-made Type 95 chariots, and was slowly killing the position of the second battalion. At the same time, the Japanese artillery units, which were located somewhere, also continued to shell the positions of the 2nd Battalion.

"Call the commander of the second battalion and tell them not to use the secret weapon at the beginning, the first round of the little devil's attack must be fought by Lao Tzu no matter what, and if he loses his position, Lao Tzu will send him to see the commander." After speaking, Yang Shilang turned around again ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
