Chapter 140: The Artillery Regiment Mighty
"Immediately send a report to the two regiment commanders, telling them not to worry, first repair the blocking position a little stronger, set up the artillery position more hidden, and don't let the devil plane find out easily. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Aoki will definitely retreat, and when the time comes, they will hold me to the death, and I can't let go of a single devil hair. ”
Wang Dazhu and Zhang Tie are in place, and Li Han is relieved, and now even if Aoki Dazuo wants to leave, he has to ask himself if he agrees.
The Japanese Fifth Brigade had been abolished, but although the number of the Fifth Brigade of the devils who died at the hands of the 145th Brigade exceeded half of the total strength of the Fifth Brigade, several major officers were all taken away by the Allied forces.
Li Han doesn't care, he is a modern person, in the Republic of China, as long as he was a devil-fighting army, he didn't have the heart to deal with them about who had more attacks and whose merit was greater.
However, he also has to consider what the regiment commanders below think, otherwise what the regiment commanders and battalion commanders below will think. Even Gao Jian, the steady chief of staff, had a problem with Deng Wen's arrangement, not to mention other officers, who fought to the death in Chanan, and all the benefits were taken by others.
Besides, Li Han himself plans to start accepting the territory of the northern Chabei region after he finishes this battle.
The previous record of defeating the 46th Brigade of the Japanese Army has been used to make a deal with the Allied Army, except for that victory, he really does not have any record that he can get, if he wants to smoothly accept the territory of Chabei, he must have great military achievements, so that not only can the people in Chabei give an explanation, but also be able to control the field.
Aoki United broke in at this time, just giving Li Han a chance. If he can completely annihilate the Aoki United, let alone take over the territory of Chabei with his military exploits, there is no problem in occupying Chanan, but he can't do that yet
Although the Nationalist Government did not truly unify the whole country, it did, at least formally, unify the whole country. Although Chiang Kai-shek's hand could not reach Chahar now, Li Han had to consider his idea of entering and occupying the whole province of Chahar if there was no reason.
Without Chiang Kai-shek's hands, just one of his words, the troops of hundreds of thousands of warlords and warlords in North China had the opportunity to tear the 145th Brigade to shreds.
However, it is obviously not a simple matter to completely annihilate a wing of the Japanese army.
Originally, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops was very strong, and in addition, their soldiers were brainwashed by militarist ideology, and they did not want to die in a war, so to deal with such an enemy, it is absolutely necessary to be fully prepared, otherwise it is easy to be injured by the devils who jump over the wall in a hurry.
There are four or five thousand people from the 14th and 15th main regiments blocking the back road, and the two regiments each have an artillery battalion, so it is estimated that the devils have little hope of breaking through from their side.
On the contrary, on the side of the frontal position, the Aoki United team was still attacking endlessly, which made Li Han a little crying and laughing.
They were outflanked by themselves, but they didn't know it, and they were bent on crushing their own troops, and the thoughts of the Japanese were really incomprehensible.
However, in any case, the attack of the Aoki Wing still caused great losses to the troops, and Li Han and the 145th Brigade had been fighting since the Japanese 8th Southern Division invaded Chahar.
Although each time there were more fights and fewer fights, there were still a certain number of casualties, and there was no chance to replenish them, and up to now, the total number of troops of the four regiments of the 145th Brigade had been reduced by almost 3,000.
So this time, Li Han didn't plan to rely on the strength of his own brigade to fight hard with the Aoki Wing, there were friendly troops everywhere, and he could make use of it.
Deng Wen also used himself to successfully kill the two captains of the Devil's Aoki Wing, why couldn't he use the power of the Allied Army to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Aoki Wing. Besides, he fought with the Aoki United, originally to relieve the siege of the Allied forces.
Li Han said that he would do it, and directly sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Allied Army, asking the commander-in-chief to send troops to support him.
After sending a telegram to Deng Wen, Li Han called the artillery regiment again.
"Xu Hu, it's time for your artillery regiment to move, and when the Aoki Wing attacks next time, let them also taste the power of our Chinese artillery."
But after the fight, remember to shift positions immediately, the nose of the devil plane can be like a dog's nose, you don't follow their way. ”
Li Han is still very cautious about the use of artillery regiments, and it is very luxurious for a brigade-level unit like him to have an artillery unit of regimental size.
If he is blown up by the devil's plane, it is estimated that within a few years, he will not be able to reorganize an artillery regiment.
"Brother Lisheng, Brigade Commander Li Han called, saying that they have already fought with the Japanese Aoki Wing, and the main forces of the Aoki Wing are also concentrated in the 145th Brigade, and Brigade Commander Li hopes that we will send a support army to resist the attack of the Aoki Wing with him."
After the Aoki Wing entered Pangjiabao, Deng Wen and Zhang Lisheng began to concentrate the troops of each division and brigade, at this time there was no point in chasing and killing the commander of the Japanese brigade, since the Japanese army had a wing into Chahar, then their large force was estimated to be far away.
And neither Zhang Lisheng nor Deng Wen had the confidence to defeat Aoki United in a short period of time, so they only needed to gather their troops first, and then fight the devil in a decisive battle.
"I think let's let Wang De go again, his first detachment has always been used by us as a reserve, and now there are more than 2,000 people, plus Li Han's 145th Brigade, it should be no problem to block the Japanese Aoki Wing."
Zhang Lisheng frowned and said, of course, he didn't have an opinion on Li Hanxiang's borrowing of troops, but when he thought that the Eighth Division was about to arrive in Chahar, he was very uneasy.
Even if they had just defeated the Japanese Fifth Brigade, Zhang Lisheng couldn't be happier in the face of the four wings directly under the command of the powerful Eighth Division.
"Originally, we expected to block the Eighth Division at Longguan, but the Aoki Wing has already hit, and it is estimated that the main force of the Eighth Division will soon arrive.
One Fifth Brigade Regiment was enough for us, and although the other three directly administered wings of the Eighth Division were not field troops, the dozens of artillery pieces of the Eighth Division's artillery wing alone were enough to blow up our two armies to pieces. ”
Not only Zhang Lisheng, but Deng Wen also had a sad face, although the commander-in-chief was making good progress, but at present, the fourth brigade of the Eighth Division has no signs of retreating.
Moreover, even if the Fourth Brigade retreats now, it will take a lot of time for the commander-in-chief to transfer the main forces of the Allied forces from Chabei to Chanan.
At that time, even if the Eighth Division is repulsed, I am afraid that his Fifth Route Army, Zhang Lisheng's Self-Defense Army, and even Li Han's 145th Brigade may not exist.
Although this is the case, there is no second way for them to go now. The Confederates are not in a good position right now. Except for the people who would cheer them twice, the other troops around them were not very friendly to them.
Because the Allied forces in Chahar not only blocked the simultaneous attack of two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade of the devils, but also fought several beautiful counterattacks, and now the reputation of the Allied army in this part of North China can be regarded as completely established.
However, it also aroused the alarm of the Nationalist government, which had begun to block the flow of military supplies into Chahar from all over the country, and even Song Zheyuan cooperated with the actions of the Nationalist government, because he was also worried that the rise of the Allied army would threaten his position.
Since the end of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, there were really 29 regular troops of the Nationalist Government left in a large area such as Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and Chacha, which made Song Zheyuan see the opportunity to rise, so although Feng Yuxiang was his old commander, he did not reveal the slightest idea of joining the Allied Army.
Of course, in addition to seeing the opportunity, he also saw the strength of the Japanese army, the Great Wall War of Resistance, the 300,000 regular army of the Nationalist Government did not win the 50,000 Japanese army, and these 300,000 troops also included tens of thousands of well-equipped Central Army.
The miscellaneous army of the Chahar Alliance Army was able to block more than 10,000 Japanese troops, which gave Song Zheyuan a sense of urgency, but fortunately, he was still on Feng Yuxiang's face after all, and he did not go too far as the Nationalist Government did, and finally held a position of not helping each other, but his attitude obviously provided convenience for the Nationalist Government.
"There's nothing to think about, commander-in-chief, we can only rely on ourselves in our own business. The Aoki Wing has been blocked by Brigadier Commander Li Han, and we just took this opportunity to step up the construction of fortifications.
The Eighth Division is still a few days away from us, and we can build a few more blocking positions to resist step by step, and in addition to the fact that our strength is several times that of the Japanese army, there should still be a chance to hold out until the commander-in-chief's reinforcements arrive. ”
Zhang Lisheng is the boss of the militia in Chahar, and this kind of intrigue is not much more common than Deng Wen, so it is not strange to see this kind of thing.
Deng Wen's reinforcements to Li Han were still on the way, and the attack of the Aoki United began again, and several attacks failed in succession, and Aoki Daisa also had a hint of foreboding in his heart. However, the honor of the imperial army forced him to give the order to retreat.
So Aoki planned to charge a few times, and if he couldn't take the opponent's position, he would retreat first, and then join up with the division commander and then come back to shame.
But Aoki didn't know that Li Han had already prepared a big meal for him.
After receiving Li Han's order, Xu Hu ordered the artillery regiment to prepare, and after the devil began to attack, he immediately ordered the artillery to open fire.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
On the position of the artillery regiment, twelve 75-caliber field guns and 12 75-caliber mountain guns began to roar at the same time. Orange-red flames shone in the muzzle, and one by one, the shells were already whistling out of the barrel.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”
There was a shrill whistling sound in the sky, and the cannonballs flew at high speed in the air, grinding against the air and making a screeching sound.
"What's going on? Why did the intensity of the shelling of the people suddenly increase so much? Aoki Osa, after hearing the shrill whistle, frowned, raised his head and looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to find out.
