Chapter 53: Nicknamed the Demon
When I got the news of the start of the war, it was at noon on the 7th and 8th. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After Xia Chao finished training the special combat team and was about to eat, Colonel Hans called, his voice was a little excited, he said: "Major Xia Chao, you must come over immediately, General Wei Caier will hold a meeting in the afternoon, and all the members of the advisory group will attend." ”
Xia Chao asked, "Is there anything urgent?" ”
Colonel Hans said: "Yellow-skinned monkey Japan has made trouble in Beiping, and it seems that war is about to start. ”
Xia Chao was excited in his heart, and said in his heart: "Little Japan of Dog Day, you are finally here, see how grandpa cleans you up!" ”
After attending the meeting of the German advisory group, he came to see General Zhang Zhizhong, but General Zhang Zhizhong had already urgently attended the meeting of the Supreme Military Council.
Xia Chao thought about it, such a big thing happened, and in a few days, a big man like Zhang Zhizhong couldn't stop. So, he returned to the training camp on General Mountain.
Xia Chao sent a telegram to Cui Xiaobao, asking him to find an agent in the local area and return to the training base to preside over the logistics of the base.
In the summer, the DPRK held a meeting of the backbone of the army, reorganized the troops, and organized the troops ready to go on the expedition.
He selected 13 masters from the German mercenaries, including 5 snipers, artillerymen, anti-aircraft machine gunners, 2 engineers, 1 radio soldier, and 1 medical soldier.
In the Shandong soldiers, 50 top-ranked players were selected, a total of 63 people, and a special combat team was formed.
In order to deter the Japanese invaders, the summer dynasty named the special combat team the demon, just to make the special combat team a nightmare for the Japanese invaders. Their armband is a terrifying skull.
The formation of the Demon Task Force is:
Team site, reconnaissance squad, sniper squad, fire support squad, assault 1 squad and assault 2 squad.
The team site is composed of captain Xia Chao, deputy team deputy Xu Feihu, radio soldiers, medical soldiers, engineers and cooks, a total of 7 people.
The scouting class is served by Zhang Quan, a master of Xingyi boxing, with a total of 7 people in the class.
The sniper squad was held by the German mercenary Lucas, and the class consisted of 8 people, including 5 Germans.
The fire support squad was held by the German Frank with a class of 15 people.
The first assault squad was served by Zhao Dahai, a soldier from Shandong, with a class of 13 people.
The second assault squad was served by Shandong soldier Yang Fulu, with a class of 13 people.
Weapons:
Each person made a 20-round barge gun made in Germany, a Swiss multi-purpose dagger, and 5 straight-handled grenades.
The team is equipped with 2 Type 34 80mm mortars, 2 Makqin MG08 heavy machine guns, 52 MP18 submachine guns, 10 98K sniper rifles, Japanese Type 97 6.5mm sniper rifles, a flamethrower, two Soviet-made DShK 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and 8 Opel Lightning 2.0-12 light trucks. The rest of the weapons will not be listed one by one, in short, their weapons are the best in the whole of China, even the equipment of the general German army is not comparable.
Most of this equipment was provided by the German advisory group, and a small amount was purchased at the expense of the summer court.
Although the training time of the Demon Task Force is relatively short, the foundation of the members themselves is very good, so the combat effectiveness is still very strong. Xia Chao is now looking forward to giving the Japanese devil a hard blow.
Except for the special combat team, the rest of the personnel were organized into a teaching team, which was unified under the command of Bergman.
Three days later, Xia Chao met with General Zhang Zhizhong, who made a request to lead his troops to Beiping to participate in the war. General Zhang Zhizhong was convinced of Xia Dynasty's prediction of the Sino-Japanese war.
Now, Xia Chao is affiliated with the German Advisory Group, and although his status is still related to the Central Military Academy, General Zhang Zhizhong decided to give him the right to autonomy. However, he asked for a postponement of the expedition from the summer dynasty. Because he also had the idea of organizing a visiting group of the Central Military Academy so that he could directly grasp the first-hand information of the war against Japan.
Xia Chao waited for a whole week, and was called to the office by General Zhang Zhizhong and told him that the plan of the Central Military Academy to organize a visiting group was rejected by Chairman Chiang. Although Chairman Chiang already knew that war was inevitable, he still had the slightest illusion that it would not expand, and asked the German Embassy Taodemann to make final representations with the Japanese government.
General Zhang Zhizhong agreed to Xia Chao's expedition to North China, and only asked him to examine the strength of the Japanese army and write a detailed report.
General Wei Caier, the chief instructor of the Central Military Academy, also supported the Xia Dynasty's expedition, but did not allow him to openly use the banner of the German advisory group to avoid diplomatic trouble.
Everything is ready to go. The Demon Special Combat Team decided to officially set out on July 18th.
Before leaving, he asked to see General Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng saw Xia Chao and said to him: "Celestial Empire, your encounter is really accurate, Japan really launched a war." ”
Xia Chao came to bid him farewell, and he said, "Uncle Chen, I have already told Chen Lin without your consent that she will not be allowed to return to China. ”
Chen Cheng nodded and said, "You did the right thing, when is it too peaceful, let Xiao Lin come back." If you want to go to North China, I won't stop you, you pay attention to your own safety, you don't have to worry about the matter of your General Mountain base, I will take care of it for you. “
Summer Chao arranged everything and decided to set off.
On the evening of July 18, Xia Chao went to Beiping with the demon special combat team.
By the end of July, the Japanese army had successively transferred the 5th, 6th, 10th, and 20th divisions and the 1st and 11th brigades of the independent mixed army from China and northeast China to the Pingjin area, and the total strength of the original Tianjin garrison army reached more than 100,000 troops. The Japanese army, which had been planning for a long time, launched a preemptive attack on all fronts in the early morning of the 28th, and fierce battles broke out in Nanyuan, Beiyuan, Xiyuan, Tongxian and other places, and the 29th Army hastily responded to the battle, and the situation was very unfavorable.
The military headquarters of the 29th Army in Nanyuan, Beiping.
From the morning, more than 10,000 people of the main force of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army and more than 6,000 people of the 1st Riverside Brigade launched a fierce attack on the military headquarters of the 29th Army stationed in Nanyuan.

More than 3,000 Japanese front-line troops, supported by 40 heavy artillery, more than 100 tanks and 20 aircraft, launched a fierce attack on the defenders of Nanyuan, and then the main force surrounded the whole city of Nanyuan in a roundabout way.
After half a day of resistance, Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, was martyred, and the troops collapsed. At this time, the entire 29th Army remaining in the Pingjin area was routed by the Japanese army.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Dengyu, a famous anti-Japanese general, led more than 1,100 people from the guard brigade, the remnants of the 132nd Division, organs and field hospitals, and was surrounded by two brigades of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army in Xiaowangzhuang, southwest of Nanyuan.

The 20th Division has been stationed in Korea for more than 10 years, and together with the 19th Division, it has completely controlled more than 200,000 square kilometers of land in the entire territory of Korea.
Surrounding Xiaowangzhuang was the 78th Wing of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, and the wing commander Kobayashi Hengichi Sasa. (Historically, he has been a lieutenant general)
Kobayashi Hengichi has been famous for Zhao Dengyu for a long time, and he still respects him, so he did not attack immediately, but persuaded him to surrender. He hid behind a tank and personally shouted to persuade him to surrender.
