Chapter 252: Wafangdian is in an emergency
readx;?“ Tuanza, the little devil is coming up. "On the position www.biquge.info of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Division, several soldiers covered in mud pulled Liu Zhenhu out of the pile of dirt and said urgently.
The fierce shelling of the devil's naval artillery group almost blew up their trench fortifications, and there were crushed mud everywhere, and there were not a few soldiers who were almost buried like Liu Zhenhu.
At this time, he was rescued by his comrades one after another.
Liu Zhenhu shook his head and shook off the dirt on his head, took a few deep breaths, and asked confusedly, "What did you say?" Again, I didn't hear clearly! ”
The soldier pointed to the front of the position with an anxious face and said loudly: "Tuanza, little devil open." Pig. Pig. Island. The novel is on the offensive! ”
Liu Zhenhu followed the soldier's hope, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he immediately shouted: "The whole regiment is ready to attack, hurry!" ”
After saying that, he quickly pulled out his matching gun.
Several soldiers quickly dispersed, each with a weapon and entered a combat position.
A soldier even took the initiative to take on the duties of a herald, and passed Liu Zhenhu's orders one after another along the trenches.
"Call me!" A few minutes later, most of the surviving officers and soldiers of the regiment were ready for battle, and Liu Zhenhu raised his pistol and opened fire first.
Hundreds of new officers and soldiers followed suit, and a single MG34 general-purpose machine gun and Garand rifle and MP18 submachine gun formed a dense and powerful crossfire network.
The devil soldiers who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground, but more devils in the back fired back and increased the speed of the charge.
Small-caliber artillery, such as mortars and grenadiers, also opened fire on both sides, and the sound of gunfire on the battlefield was deafening.
……………………
In Jianchang County, Zhang Xinghan ascended to the top of the city surrounded by Liu Jianguo, commander of the 4th Division, Du Ting, commander of the 10th Division, and others.
Liu Jianguo introduced: "When the troops arrived at the base, the Northeast Army had already withdrawn. ”
"Have you figured out in which direction the enemy is retreating?" Zhang Xinghan held the battlement wall with both hands and looked down at the outside of the city and asked.
"I have asked Liu Dongqing to send a small team of armored scouts to closely track and trace the movements of the Northeast Army, for now. They were planning to withdraw to Shanhaiguan. Liu Jianguo replied.
"Back to Shanhaiguan, if Zhang Shaoshuai really stops, it will really be a blessing for my 30 million fathers and elders in the three eastern provinces." Zhang Xinghan paused, turned around and said, "Pass my order, and all regiments will immediately move towards Xingcheng!" ”
"Xingcheng? Commander, why don't we go straight to Shanhaiguan? In this way, even if the Northeast Army has any attempts, it will not be able to achieve it easily. Liu Jianguo asked in confusion.
"Although the morale of the Northeast Army is low at the moment, the main force still exists, and it is far from the point of breaking the muscles and bones.
We ate him two elite brigades. He must hate me to the core, so we want to make Zhang completely dead, and only by fighting a fierce battle and completely hurting him is that it is best to annihilate one or two more independent brigades of the enemy. Zhang Xinghan paused and said: "As for Huixingcheng, the reason is very simple, regardless of distance or strategic location, Jinzhou is the first choice for the Northeast Army next. And Xingcheng bore the brunt. ”
"But Commander, what if Xue Liang repeats his old tricks and sends troops to risk a detour to attack Shenyang again?" Liu Jianguo said.
Zhang Xinghan smiled: "If Zhang Xueliang has this courage and brain, then when the 918 incident broke out. The Northeast Army would not have fled without a fight, and even the September 18 Incident had no chance to happen.
Of course, just in case, we still need to send air force reconnaissance planes, as well as ground armored scouts. Closely monitored and guarded. ”
Liu Jianguo nodded and stopped talking, and was ordered to leave after saluting Du Ting and the others one after another.
……………………
Shanhaiguan, the temporary general headquarters of the Northeast Army.
"Young marshal. Vice Marshal Zhang has already led his troops to Suizhong County and is currently resting. He Zhuguo reported to Zhang Xueliang, who bowed his head.
"I have already transferred Xuezhong to Shanhaiguan, and the strength of our army has reached 100,000 again." Zhang Xueliang said in high spirits: "I order, all troops immediately advance to Jinzhou, and telegraphed Zhang Zuoxiang, asking him to lead his troops first, and Han Qing personally led reinforcements to follow!" ”
"Young Marshal, you personally led the team on the expedition? Isn't that a bit too risky? He Zhuguo persuaded with concern.
Zhang Xueliang looked at He Zhuguo and said quite proudly: "I, Zhang Hanqing, have been from Rong for thirteen years since I graduated from the Northeast Army Martial Arts Hall in the eighth year of the Republic of China.
In this battle, Zhang Xinghan is undefeated, and I will never give up! ”
After speaking, Zhang Xueliang waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, let's carry out the order." ”
"Yes!" He Zhuguo knew that he had made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade him again, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted, so he turned around and left.
……………………
The front line of Wafangdian, on the position of the 3rd Division of the Northeast New Army.
The fierce gunfire had just stopped, and the choking smoke had not yet completely cleared.
Liu Zhenhu turned over and leaned against the trench with a tired face, at this moment, his face was already covered with mud and dust, and it was not an exaggeration to describe him with a gray face.
However, he didn't care at all, and with a tired expression, he took off his white gloves, which had been almost blackened by soot, and threw them in the trenches at random.
Liu Zhenhu rested for a while before he reluctantly got up and staggered along the trench in the direction of the regimental headquarters.
The devil's attack just now was so fierce that the two guards who came had already died in the fierce battle just now.
The battle was fierce, but fortunately, the 31st Regiment fought side by side with other friendly troops, and although it suffered heavy losses, it finally succeeded in repelling the Japanese attack and holding its position.
After Liu Zhenhu returned to the regiment headquarters, he immediately reported the losses of the troops to Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan by telephone.
Wang Yizhe immediately transferred the reserve troops, and transferred the 1st Regiment, which suffered considerable losses, without mentioning it.
At the same time as the fierce battle of Wafangdian was in full swing, in Yingkou City, the Japanese army headquarters.
After the commander of the 106th Division, Kentaro Kuroto, finished reporting to the communications officer and left, he asked Okamura Ninji in confusion: "Okamura-kun, since the main force of the Imperial Army is attacking the Wafangdian defense line of the Shina Army with all its might, why don't we take advantage of this time to launch a counterattack in order to support the battle of the Imperial Army in Wafangdian?" ”
The commander of the 114th Division, Nakajimamura, also nodded in agreement on the side, and looked at Okamura Ninji with the same puzzled eyes.
Okamura Ninji pretended to smile mysteriously, and said: "The two generals don't know, the main force of the imperial army has benefited from the super artillery reinforcement of the naval fleet's naval artillery group this time, and under the onslaught, even if they can't fight down and break through the defense line of the Wafangdian army, it will inevitably cause them considerable damage, as long as the Wafangdian army asks Zhang Xinghan for help."
Zhang Xinghan must and can only send reinforcements from the besieging troops outside Yingkou City to reinforce Wafangdian, and then our opportunity will come. ”
"Yo-si, Yo-si." Kentaro Kuroto and Nakajimamura glanced at each other, suddenly realized, and gave a thumbs up and said, "Okamura-kun is worthy of being the best soldier in the empire, and we admire it." ”
At the same time, in the joint headquarters of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of Wafangdian.
Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe's faces were very solemn, and since neither of them spoke, the atmosphere in the headquarters was extremely depressing.
In the end, it was Zhao Zhenfan who broke the silence and said to Wang Yizhe: "Brother Dingfang, it can't go on like this, until today, the losses of the several regiments we have placed in the front line have accumulated more than one-third, and we have lined up the last reserves."
Without reinforcements, we're afraid we won't be able to hold out for long. ”
Wang Yizhe's face was extremely solemn, he did not refute Zhao Zhenfan's words, indeed, if the battle continued like this, and there were no reinforcements.
The Wafangdian defense line will definitely be broken through by the Japanese army, it is only a matter of time.
In the final analysis, their two motorized infantry divisions had only about 30,000 men, plus one tank division that was not fully manned, and the strength was less than half of that of the Japanese army.
Over the past few days, the Japanese have launched no less than dozens of attacks in a row, although each time the casualties on both sides have been proportionally Japanese.
But after such consumption, it will be the Northeast New Army that will not be able to hold on in the end.
Especially in today's battle, the sudden bombardment of the guns of the devil ships caused considerable casualties to the front-line troops of the Northeast New Army.
The main reason was that they were not mentally prepared, and neither the soldiers nor the commanders thought that the Japanese navy, which had already been frightened by their own air force, would dare to risk shelling at this time, especially in broad daylight.
Moreover, the fortifications temporarily repaired by the New Army in Northeast China could not withstand the bombardment of the navy's naval guns and large-caliber artillery groups.
"Brother Dingfang, let's ask the commander for help." Zhao Zhenfan reluctantly spoke.
"Asking for help?" Wang Yizhe was a little hesitant: "Now the troops in Xinghan's hands should also be very nervous, so can there be reinforcements to reinforce Wafangdian?" ”
"Yes, the commander has two infantry divisions and one tank division in Yingkou, and the Japanese army in Yingkou City is now only 30,000 dead.
In the case of only seeking to contain the Japanese army and not to encircle and annihilate it, at least one division can be transferred, and at the worst, two or three infantry regiments can be transferred to reinforce Wafangdian. "Zhao Zhenfan said.
"Brother Guoping, have you forgotten that the 1st and 9th Divisions also suffered a lot of damage in the previous battles, and now the real usable strength is no longer than four infantry regiments.
As for the tank division, it was used to deter the Japanese army at Yingkou as a strategic force, and if it was transferred, it would be very likely that Huang Alarm and Gao Chu would not be the opponent of Okamura Ningji and would be defeated.
The consequences would be unimaginable. Wang Yizhe said.
"What then? We have even greater losses now, and without reinforcements, even if our entire army dies, we will not be able to hold out for long.
Brother Dingfang, you and I must know that we are not facing thousands of devils, but 100,000 Japanese soldiers! Zhao Zhenfan insisted.
Wang Yizhe thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In this way, let's report the situation to Xinghan in detail first, and ask Xinghan to send troops to reinforce us according to the situation." ”
"Okay." Zhao Zhenfan nodded helplessly. (To be continued......)
