Xishan, Beiping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Wang Santai Command.
The results of the battle at Xijiao Airport and Tongxian Airport have also been reported. Planes were also blown up at both airfields, as were fuel depots and aviators' quarters. Wang Santai sent a report to Xiaolu and reported the results.
After a while, the results of the offensive sites in some other suburbs were also reported. Several artillery strongholds were blown up, and several barracks were bombed.
The fortifications around Beiping were almost completely destroyed, and if a large army came to attack, the defense of Beiping would have to rely on the fortifications on the outskirts of the city.
A congratulatory message from the trail also came.
Beiping Qianmen Railway Station.
Qianmen Railway Station is the transportation hub of Beiping, and it has been built for many years. The front gate is old and the station is modern, which is a symbol of the progress of the city of Peiping.
This station is not only a passenger station, but also a freight station, and a large amount of coal and grain is transported into Beiping every day.
If the station stops running for a day, there will be people who can't buy coal and grain, and if it stops for a few days, there will be people in Beijing who will starve.
The number of people who attacked the railway station was relatively large, reaching dozens of people, and more than 20 people came with explosives bags on their backs. There are not many offensive targets in Beiping City, and Qianmen Railway Station is one.
It was not easy for the special combat team to enter Beiping City, and they walked along the railway for half the night, and had to dodge Japanese patrols and Japanese patrol cars in the middle.
Before half past five in the morning, the troops began to move, dozens of men touched in and killed the sentry posts and patrols, and before half past five explosives were laid on several key points on the railway.
In addition, several fighters who could drive a train captured a train, drove out of the train station, and stopped outside the station, ready to meet the retreat of the special combat team.
At half past five, several blasting sites at the railway station exploded at the same time.
The explosion was so loud that several locomotives were thrown off the tracks, and many cars were blown up and fell to the ground.
A train transporting fuel began to catch fire, and soon, the oil drums inside the stuffy tanker began to explode.
There were some people waiting in the waiting hall, and some people were homeless and sleeping at the train station, when the sound of explosions outside sounded, and everyone was alert and ran out of the hall one after another.
I was running slowly, and I heard the loudest explosion. At this time, the fire was burning, the windows and glass shattered, and the smoke rushed into the hall, and the rest of the people began to run out of the hall.
The police, who were in charge of order at the station, did not care about any order at all, and also ran out of the hall with the people. The staff on duty in the office are also running out.
The station garrison no longer needed a special combat team to shoot and kill, several oil drums were thrown into the garrison's positions and barracks, and the flying oil burned the Japanese machine-gun positions, and many of the Japanese soldiers who ran out were burned, and the rest ran back.
The special forces immediately retreated and got on the captured train. The train drove out of the city, and just after a short drive, a team of devils chased after it and shot at the train. The special combat team on the car began to return fire, all of which were automatic firearms with strong firepower. After a while, most of the devils were defeated.
The train continued to move forward, faster and faster, and as soon as it saw the Japanese puppet army blocking it, it would shoot it immediately. Within a while, the train was out of the city and on the outskirts, with low houses on both sides of the railway, and the pursuing Japanese troops had been left behind. In less than an hour, there was already a wilderness on both sides, and the team members who were driving slowed down and the team members jumped out of the car.
The train continued to move forward and rushed to Tongzhou. The driverless train flew for more than a dozen miles, loading an oncoming train head-on. Boom, the two front cars derailed, and the back carriage also derailed, and the carriage overturned.
The railroad was paralyzed.
After the Japanese army extinguished the fire, it was already dawn, and the Japanese army found that the entire railway station had been blown up, the waiting hall, the garage, and the goods warehouse had been blown up, and a large amount of grain and coal were mixed together and ignited by the fire of oil drums, and the whole station was like purgatory. Black smoke billowed and could be seen throughout Beiping.
By 7 o'clock in the morning, Wang Santai had received a battle report on all the attack sites, and the entire special combat unit had fired 150 rounds of rocket launchers, destroyed 12 fighter planes, 24 bombers, 1 passenger plane, 5 airport patrol cars, 3 aircraft fuel depots, blew up 20 pillboxes, more than 20 cars, and two oil depots. In addition, 40 explosive packs were consumed, and four large and small stations, one barracks, and three grain depots were destroyed.
The number of enemy casualties at the various attack sites is unknown, but is estimated at about 2,000.
All the personnel have withdrawn to the sheltered place, and the 100 people who attacked the Qianmen railway station have withdrawn to the direction of Tongxian.
In terms of casualties, the special combat team lost one person killed and 15 wounded. Because the troops who bombed the grain depot felt that the grain could still be eaten after the explosion, they rushed up and threw Molotov cocktails. Dozens of Molotov cocktails, although most of the food was ignited, suffered losses because the fighters were too far ahead, one was killed and four were burned. Several other injuries occurred in several different locations.
The results of the battle were reported to the headquarters of the trail. Xiao Lu immediately reported the results to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. In addition, in the afternoon, Xiaolu released a draft of the preparation, entitled "Taking advantage of the emptiness behind the enemy, the large army of the Eighth Route Army attacked Beiping". It said that the 30,000 troops of the Eighth Route Army exerted the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death, and rushed 500 miles day and night, attacked Beiping, and attacked many strategic targets, and the results were as follows, and so on.
In the evening, several newspapers in Chongqing, Xi'an, Kunming, and other places printed the news of the great victory in Beiping, and in two days, the entire rear area was boiling. Although the official newspapers only briefly mentioned the victory in Beiping, Xinhua Daily, Ta Kung Pao, etc. still published the news.
In the past few days, detailed combat reports have been published every day. By the fourth day, the photo of the front had been published in the newspaper.
Then, "Xinhua Daily" published an article saying that the Eighth Route Army would continue to fight and conquer Beiping. Let your Japanese army come in a few ways, I will only go all the way.
Now, the official is also studying this kind of news. In addition to believing in the photos, I don't believe in the numbers mentioned in the promotional manuscript at all, it is simply Hu Lak Lak, which is simply a storyteller commenting on the book.
The only credible thing is the photographs, according to which the intelligence officers obtained a lot of information. Sure enough, judging by the results, it was a small army, even a guerrilla, that attacked Beiping this time, and it was not a regular army at all.
This attack on Beiping once again caused a shock to the Japanese army in North China. In order to prevent the tragedy of the loss of Beiping a few years ago, some people demanded that the troops in various localities stop fighting and quickly return to Beiping. However, some people believe that this attack is not like an attack by a large army, and it is very likely that a small army will attack, which is a strategy to attack the east and the west, and to encircle Wei and save Zhao.
Soon, the Japanese army also came to the same conclusion, it was a small unit. However, Beiping is the headquarters of the North China Front, is the material distribution center, northern Hebei, most of the materials in the Kwantung are distributed here, if you don't go back to defense, what if the Eighth Route Army really comes?
The Japanese army in Jizhong began to shrink back to Beiping. The Japanese troops from Hebei who entered Shanxi also returned to defend Beiping.
After the sneak attack on Beiping on January 16, the special combat team immediately disappeared without a trace.
