Soon after the Japanese army entered Nanyuan, they drove out the defenders, and Ichiki Qingzhi was extremely ashamed, and organized two more attacks, which also repulsed the other party. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Under these circumstances, Major General Bunzaburo Kawagishi, commander of the 20th Division, rushed to the battlefield in Nanyuan, accompanied by not only the officers and men of his department, but also the 29-year-old Asahi Shimbun North China correspondent Okabe Sunshiro, who was a war correspondent.

Okabe can write articles, understand photography, is a well-known all-rounder of the Asahi Shimbun, and because of his work, he has a very good personal relationship with Major General Kawagishi, and he also arrived with the army in this battle.

In view of this, he made arrangements, first, to order the heavy bomber formation in Chengde to take off immediately and carry out intensive bombing of the Nanyuan area, and second, to order the 2nd Wing of the North China Garrison Army stationed in Tongzhou to set off immediately and attack the defenders of Nanyuan from the east.

These two orders were issued at the same time, and more than an hour later, the Japanese bomber formation came to the designated place, flapped its wings a few times above the friendly troops, flew to Nanyuan, and dropped the 50 or 75 kilogram aerial bombs it carried in the Nanyuan barracks. Almost all the land in the barracks was blown up, the houses of the military headquarters were also blown up, and there was a sea of fire everywhere!

Tong Linge's leg was injured, and he knew that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he had to give an order to retreat: "Caiting, your cavalry division is in front of you and retreat to Beiping!" ”

"Yes." Zheng Dazhang agreed, leading the troops to withdraw from the north gate of Nanyuan first - his troops were cavalry, which was really not suitable for the task of defending the position, but when breaking through the siege, it showed a different side, and most of the cavalry divisions were cavalry rifles, also known as horse pistols, with a short body to facilitate shooting during riding.

The Japanese attack direction was south, west, and east, leaving only the route from the north to Beiping not to attack, and it was also used as a retreat route by the 29th Army. The retreat was not blocked by the Japanese army, and the remaining 5,000 men of the 29th Army successfully evacuated Nanyuan and fled in the direction of Beiping.

Tong Linge sat in the car and couldn't help but burst into tears, who would have thought that the more than 7,000 soldiers in Nanyuan would be more than 2,000 less than 2,000 after just more than half an hour of bombardment, without even seeing the enemy's face? What kind of face do you have to meet the people of Beiping? He couldn't wait to give the order, turn his head back, and fight to the death with the RB people, which is better than a humiliating escape like now!

Suddenly, there was a gunfire like a popping bean in front, and the car stopped, and Tong Linge asked, "What's going on, who is fighting with whom?" Is it Caiting? ”

"It doesn't seem to be."

"Get out of the car." Tong Linge hurriedly got out of the car, got off the highway with the adjutant, staff officer, guard and others, and at the same time ordered someone to inquire about the news, and after a while, the news came back: the Xuandao Wing of the garrison army from Tongzhou was fighting fiercely with friendly troops -- the friendly troops were the remnants of the two regiments of the 219th Regiment and the 132nd Division that had rushed over from Changxindian!

Tong Linge was taken aback, why did Dai Xiaodian bring people here? "Let's go!"

"Commander, it's too dangerous ahead!"

"Less nonsense." Tong Linge ignored it, the cat bent his waist and walked all the way, and soon, he arrived at the combat area, the two sides were fighting lively, the situation was obvious, it was the Japanese army chasing, the friendly army was fleeing, Tong Linge waved his hand, "Sun Yutian, order your special service brigade to join in!" ”

"Yes!"

********************************************************

The Japanese army guarded both sides of the road less than two kilometers away from Dahongmen, led by the commander of the 2nd Wing of the North China Garrison Brigade Regiment, whose commander's surname was Xuandao, and he was a big Zuo. He received an order from Major General Kawagishi Wen to rush over from Tongzhou, with the intention of joining the battle against Nanyuan and flanking the eastern battlefield, but unexpectedly halfway through, he received an order to change the route of the march and assemble two kilometers in front of the Dahongmen - according to the information received by the Japanese army, Tong Linge would retreat from here and enter Beiping.

Xuandao didn't want to be able to pick up such a big bargain, so he happily led the troops into the assembly area, not wanting to have reached the designated place yet, when gunshots from the Chinese side suddenly sounded on both sides of the road - Dai Xiaodian and Zhao Dengyu sent troops in the starry night, originally planning to participate in the Nanyuan operation, but when they arrived near Nanyuan, they were being bombed by Japanese bombers!

Dai Xiaodian said worriedly: "The Japanese army is divided into three sides to fight, let's join in at this time, at most we can only solve one side, when the time comes, the other two sides will give up Nanyuan, turn their heads to attack us, not only can not save the commander, I am afraid that even we will get in." ”

"So what do you say?"

"There's only a surprise right now." Dai Xiaodian said: "Nanyuan can no longer be defended, the army commander will definitely order a breakthrough - to Beiping, the big red gate is the only way, we will guard there, on the one hand, on the other hand, I am worried that the RB people will ambush the troops there - when retreating, the army is disheartened, and if it is really intercepted by the Japanese army, I am afraid that it will form a one-sided slaughter!" ”

"Yes, it makes sense, it makes sense!" Zhao Dengyu touched his towering cheekbones and bowed his head for it, "Then you say, let's go down in ambush first?" ”

"Yes, let's ambush first, just don't have the RB people to intercept halfway, if there is, we can provide them with a passage to protect these people from entering Beiping. Then we will discuss the next move. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhao Dengyu, as the supreme commander of the battlefield, discussed with He Jifeng, took immediate action, took a step ahead of the Xuandao United, and ambushed the combat troops within the Dahongmen.

An hour after they arrived, the Japanese army arrived at the wing, and He Jifeng and Zhao Dengyu looked at each other in shock: Dai Xiaodian really has a strategic vision? RB people's pulse, he really grasps it accurately! So an order was given, and heavy shooting began.

Xuandao never thought that there would be an ambush for the Chinese army here, and after the initial panic, he immediately ordered the soldiers to arrange their positions and make a quick response. Both sides were determined to fight to the death, and the battle entered a white-hot moment at the beginning.

The first to fire was the Chinese Type 82 mortar, Dai Xiaodian gathered the mortars in his hands and the rest of the 132nd Division together, a total of more than 60 guns, in line with the style of ants biting elephants, as soon as it came up, it was five rounds of intensive rapid shooting! More than 300 mortar shells pierced the air and smashed into the Japanese positions like a storm, causing the RB people to cry and call their mothers, and the dead and wounded everywhere.

On the one hand, Xuandao ordered his own mortar troops to return fire, and at the same time organized his troops to attack.

Dai Xiaodian sneered, still want to play the same old way? If you don't give you a powerful look today, do you really think that the Chinese can't beat you? He called several battalion commanders under his command over to make tactical arrangements: "The tactics of the RB people are very rough, in one sentence, it is a stupid boy who gathers firewood and recognizes this land!" ”

Everyone laughed, even Zhao Dengyu and He Jifeng, and they couldn't help it. "Our method of fighting is divided into three steps, the first step is the most important, which is to retreat when the enemy's troops are halfway through the roundabout, and lure the frontal enemy to turn to a strong attack in advance; Then I will lead the troops to bring the enemy attacking force closer, and crush the attacking enemy as much as possible; And the most crucial task of yours is to deal with the enemy's roundabout troops, and then surround them in reverse, and strive to form a convergence and get rid of them -- this is called crossing the river and hitting its upper stream! ”

"What a hit!" Zhao Dengyu applauded loudly, and then said: "Xiaodian, the task of blocking the enemy head-on is too dangerous, why don't I come?" Do you lead your troops and snipe at the roundabout enemy? ”

"No, Senior Commander Zhao, the tactics I proposed were proposed by me, and I am most sure. Moreover, there are not many enemies that can be contacted on my side, but the troops on both sides may be under particularly great pressure. ”

Jing Forest patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, the head of the regiment, I promise to solve it!" But, Captain, do you have to take care of yourself? If you have three longs and two shorts, who can you count on in the future with our 219 regiment? Speaking of which, he even brought a crying tone.

Chen Guangran and Jin Zhenzhong glanced at each other with a smile, and secretly scolded in their hearts: "Sycophant! ”

The tactics were properly arranged, and the operation began, in the face of the Japanese army attacking from the front, Dai Xiaodian commanded the troops to make stubborn resistance, he touched the bottom of the RB people's tactics, looked at the past twenty minutes, repelled the RB people's two attacks, the third attack just began, and ordered, "Retreat!" ”

The Japanese army on the opposite side didn't want this feint to have an effect? Screaming happily, the feint attack instantly turned into an actual attack, and the tail of the tail rushed over. Dai Xiaodian ordered Kim Zhenzhong's 3rd Battalion, Special Service Company, and 204th Regiment's Pistol Company to alternately cover the retreat, and retreated backwards while continuing to inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy.

Xuandao lay in front of the position in the distance, looking at it with a telescope, although the Chinese side was retreating, the formation was not chaotic, and there were no tactical loopholes at all, which had to make him admire: There are also people who know the soldiers in China! It's not like I've heard it, it's okay in the middle of the battle, and once you retreat, it's going to be the army that will immediately break - but I don't know who its commander is? "Order, Noda and the troops of the duaka, to speed up the action."

"Yes."

Before his order was conveyed to the friendly troops on both sides, the gunfire began almost at the same time, Li Yaohua and Zhang Wenshi's right-wing troops were the first to engage in battle, and the two of them led the remaining brothers of the two regiments, pitiful two regiments of nearly 5,000 people, and now there are less than 1,000 people left, and they have long held back the anger of their bellies, and after escaping, they are even more determined to see the RB people again, and they will fight to the death, so the battle in this part is the most intense.

The Japanese army originally fought in a roundabout way, but they didn't expect to be seen through by the other party, Li Yaohua and the others had red eyes when they saw the RB people, and they fired at the enemy with light and heavy weapons at the same time - speaking of evil, the Chinese army actually chose to fight desperately, and even did not consider the most basic tactical movements, holding the weapon straight and doing the closest distance shooting!

The arrogant bushido spirit of the RB people also did not allow them to take a defensive position, and began a tragic machine rifle fire with exactly the same desperate posture - the casualties of the Japanese and Chinese troops reached a peak in an instant, and in the spilling of blood, bullets pierced each other's bodies, and the soldiers of the two countries made the same action, which was to roll and fall out! -- The Great Red Gate Sniper Battle made a name for itself in the fierceness and brutality of this small-scale battle, with more than 1,800 people on both sides participating in the battle, and less than 300 people survived to the end!

Dai Xiaodian commanded the troops to retreat without panic, luring the Japanese army step by step into the depth of the position, the exchange of fire between the two sides began to become frequent, Dai Xiaodian was anxious, if the flank troops could not be deployed, his feigned retreat, I was afraid that it would become a real rout. At this moment, behind the Japanese position, a burst of gunfire suddenly sounded, and Dai Xiaodian was stunned for a moment: No, why did you run so far away?

In the blink of an eye, the spy brigade all over the mountains and fields killed, and with a big knife in their hands, they slashed at the heads of the panicked Japanese soldiers!

The situation was completely reversed, the Japanese army panicked, the dead and wounded, Xuandao was ashamed and angry, and he was about to apologize on the spot, or under the protection of his subordinates, he hurriedly fled in the direction of Tongzhou - Xuandao was a super unlucky guy, and before he could return to Tongzhou, he got a news that made him almost crazy: Zhang Yantian and Zhang Qingyu, the puppet army in eastern Hebei in Tongzhou, led their troops to revolt, wiped out the remnants of the Japanese army in Tongzhou City, captured the traitor Yin Rugeng alive, and staged a sensational Tongzhou mutiny.

Tong Linge limped to the battlefield that had calmed down, Zhao Dengyu, He Jifeng, Dai Xiaodian and others stood up and saluted him, "Shun Chen, Zhisun, Zhiyun...... hey, after 30 years in the army, there has never been today's humiliation!" If it weren't for the fact that my colleagues expected the enemy to be the first, I am afraid that we would only be able to meet under Jiuquan. ”

He Jifeng said: "Commander, don't be like this, we still have nearly 10,000 brothers, it's not that we don't have the strength to fight with the RB people!" Besides, the Central Army has already arrived in Baoding, as long as they can quickly march and sweep away the Japanese army in the Pingjin area, it will not be difficult to return our rivers and mountains. And why dwell on temporary gains and losses? ”

Tong Linge wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and was speechless for a while, "That, Sun Yutian?" ”

"Yes."

"Count the team immediately, let's go, let's go to Beiping City first."

"Yes." Sun Yutian, He Jifeng, Zhao Dengyu, Dai Xiaodian and others counted their teams, and the rest of the 201st and 204th regiments under the 132nd Division were killed and wounded in the sniper battle with the Japanese army, Zhang Wenshi was killed, Li Yaohua was also wounded, his arm was drilled by a bullet, and his face was as white as paper.

The 219 regiment itself also suffered a lot of casualties, this is the first time since Dai Xiaodian served as the regiment commander, and the RB people have made a hard contact, the special agent company suffered the most tragic casualties, the battle is over, there are only less than 40 people in the whole beard, not even a platoon can be made, and even the platoon-level personnel in the team are all killed; The situation of the three battalions of Jing Linlin, Chen Guangran, and Jin Zhenzhong was also not much better, and the whole regiment of brothers together did not exceed 900 people.

Seeing his aggrieved appearance, He Jifeng patted him on the shoulder, "Xiaodian, don't be sad, when you turn around and stabilize, I will make up for you as many people as you are missing!" Captains? ”

"What's the matter?"

He Jifeng pulled him to Tong Linge and reported all the situations of the two battles to Tong Linge, who was taken aback, he didn't know where to start, and only asked in an outline: "Ah?" You mean......? Pan Yansheng fornicated with RB people? ”

He Jifeng said: "Commander, you ......, let's let the little one talk about it." ”

Dai Xiaodian said: "Commander, you gave the order to retreat from Nanyuan?" ”

"No, the communication line was blown up, and it was Commander Song who personally ordered someone to convey it to me -- in order to convey this order, more than a dozen heralds died."

"So, how did the RB people know that they were waiting for you here?"

Tong Linge immediately understood, and slapped his thigh with hatred, so painful that he almost burst into tears, "Damn!" When I arrived in Beiping, I would first ask the army commander, he Pan Yansheng didn't know, if I knew, I would have to take his head and pay tribute to the dead soldiers. ”

Zhao Dengyu said beside him: "Commander, you still have to line up in the back!" If Pan Yansheng is a traitor, you have to hand him over to me first! I'll talk about it when I'm done. ”

Tong Linge ignored him at all, lowered his head and got into the car, "Let's go, go back to Beiping!" ”
