Chapter 423: The New Year's Drama of 1940 (5)

Shangguan Qing, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Field Division, was specially applied to Han Yunhua after Xu Shiyou came to the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region, and Han Yunhua came forward to dig him from the 129th Division.

Shangguanqing was born in the United States and is Chinese-American, but Shangguanqing's ancestors were very pure Chinese, but his family moved to the United States thirty years ago, and then settled in the United States. Shangguanqing was born and raised in the United States, but because he was nurtured by his father and grandfather since childhood, Shangguanqing has always introduced himself as a Chinese, not as an American citizen written on his identity certificate.

When he was in high school, Shangguan Qing knew the current situation in China and knew that his motherland was being invaded by the Oriental Japanese invaders, so Shangguan Qing was determined to become a great general, leading the troops to drive all the Oriental devils into the Pacific Ocean and rescue the people of the motherland from the abyss of misery. Therefore, after graduating from high school, Shangguan Qing did not follow the path arranged for him by his father, especially gave up the opportunity to enter Harvard University, the highest university in the United States, but was still admitted to the famous West Point Military Academy in the United States and embarked on a road of serving the country in the army.

After graduating from the military academy, Shangguan Qing refused the recruitment of the U.S. Army, but resolutely returned to China, which was the autumn of 1934. Shangguan Qing, who returned to China, first spent more than half a year in the Kuomintang army, first serving in the tax police corps formed by Song Ziwen, and then was transferred to the 36th Division of the Central Army as a battalion commander. However, the kind of ** that prevailed in the Kuomintang troops disappointed Shangguan Qing very much, and Shangguan Qing was very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's continuous sending of troops to attack the central Soviet area and ignoring the Japanese who had already gained a firm foothold outside the Guan, and did not fully realize the huge conspiracy hidden behind the Japanese eyeing each other. Therefore, in the course of fighting the Red Army, Shangguan Qing led more than 200 Kuomintang soldiers who were willing to follow him to fight devils, revolted on the battlefield, and became a member of the glorious Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Shangguan Qing, who had just been promoted to the commander of the first battalion of the 771st Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 129th Division, met Xu Shiyou. Soon Shangguan Qing was transferred to the 386 Brigade New Second Regiment as the regiment commander, and Shangguan Qing did not live up to Xu Shiyou's expectations, in just one year he trained the new second regiment more than 300 weak soldiers who lacked guns and ammunition and wore single clothes in the winter into full jīng soldiers, and the size of the unit was expanded more than ten times, and by the first half of 38, the entire new second regiment had expanded into a behemoth with nine infantry battalions, two cavalry battalions, an artillery battalion, an engineer battalion and a logistics support battalion, The total strength of the entire New Second Regiment was nearly 7,000 men, and the weapons of the troops were even more unknown.

To tell the truth, Commander Liu of the 129th Division was very reluctant to let Shangguan Qing leave, but Han Yunhua knew that Shangguan Qing was a high-achieving student who graduated from the Washing Military Academy, and he was also such a number one person in history, so he was determined to dig Shangguan Qing over, and he did not hesitate to pay the weapons and equipment of an infantry battalion to pave the way and build bridges. Therefore, Division Commander Liu and Political Commissar Deng soon fell under the attack of Han Yunhua's sugar-coated shells, and Shangguan Qing was also successfully transferred to the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region.

After Shangguan Qing was transferred to the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region, Han Yunhua quickly talked to him, and there were many similarities between the two people's concepts of governing the army, while Shangguan Qing had a solid knowledge of military theory, and he effectively combined some of the advanced military theories he learned from the United States with the actual situation in China, which Han Yunhua was very optimistic about. And Han Yunhua's own record is a miracle, plus some advanced military theories that were not spoken from Han Yunhua's mouth quickly convinced Shangguan Qing, in order not to bury this talent, Han Yunhua deliberately arranged Shangguan Qing to serve as the brigade commander of the main brigade in the field sixth division of his old commander Xu Shiyou.

After receiving the order from the division commander, Shangguan Qing immediately ordered the troops to assemble and prepare for battle, while he himself and several staff officers urgently formulated a battle plan.

After Shangguan Qing compared the strength of his 1st Brigade with the 9th Brigade, Shangguan Qing was very soberly aware that if his 1st Brigade was facing the 9th Brigade head-on, the odds of winning would be very good, and there would be no chance of even a four-tier victory. However, the 9th Brigade also had to pay a very heavy price if it wanted to defeat the 1st Brigade, so the biggest possibility of both sides in the final battle was to lose both, and the casualties of the 9th Brigade were definitely smaller than those of the 1st Brigade, but the small degree was not obvious. Therefore, Shangguan Qing is not ready to fight to the death with the Ninth Brigade, and this battle can only be outwitted and not forced.

Shangguan Qing received a military education from the United States, so he looked at the weapons and equipment extremely important, and he was very clear about the gap between the 1st Brigade and the Japanese army. In fact, in terms of troop strength, the 1st Brigade has more money than the 9th Brigade, and the quality of the soldiers is not much different. However, the Ninth Brigade is equipped with a tank brigade of more than 40 new tanks, and this tank brigade alone is much stronger than the combat effectiveness of an infantry regiment. Therefore, the reason why the 9th Brigade is stronger than the 1st Brigade of the 6th Field Division is completely because of its strength in weaponry.

Therefore, Shangguan Qing thinks that it is not impossible to complete the task in this battle, but the prerequisite is to solve the tank brigade of the Ninth Brigade first, otherwise everything is nonsense.

Looking at the map, Shangguan Qing set his eyes on Jiajiaying, the M-N household in Xuanhua. Jiajiaying is surrounded by empty flat land, but there is a small section of road built on a prominent area, which is very difficult to walk. In fact, this piece is not a rugged and dangerous place, but because there is a large depression on the periphery of Jiajiaying, the road is flooded every rainy season, making it difficult for people and animals to walk. Therefore, in 1934, the National People's Government organized the local Zhuang Ding to build a high-built road that was not too wide in this depression, and the reason why it was called Gaozhu Road was because the roadbed of this road was particularly high, more than two or three meters higher than the surrounding depressions. And in order to prevent floods from washing away the road in the rainy season, the Guomin Government also built a flood discharge bridge in the middle of the Gaozhu Road, so this depression became a fragrant dumpling in Shangguan Qing's eyes.

Shangguan Qing's plan was very simple, that is, to attack with the infantry Yin* Japanese tank brigade first, then use heavy mines to destroy the more than 40 tanks of the 9th Brigade, and finally find a way to fight with the infantry of the 9th Brigade. Originally, the open terrain along the line from Zhangjiakou to Beiping was the world of the chariot troops, but the special terrain of Jiajiaying made Shangguan Qing see hope.

February 8, 19340 is the festival of the Chinese lunar calendar, commonly known as the year. However, this year, almost no one in the entire northern region had a comfortable life, especially the high-level leaders of the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region, and the Japanese army chose to attack the Inner M-Ng Ancient Military Region on a large scale at this time, and the Chinese pay attention to a regimental member during the festival, and the New Year is even more so. At the end of the year, the troops generally have no combat mission, and even if they cannot go home to accompany their parents and their wives and children, they do not need to be afraid.

But this year is different, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are like locusts crossing the border, the Inner M-NG Ancient Military Region is forced to fight, no one knows whether they have the opportunity to go back to see their parents, wives and children, the top of the North China Front of the Japanese Army believes that it is most advantageous to attack the Eighth Route Army during the festival, because the combat effectiveness of the squadron at this time is definitely not too high, and the soldiers must have no intention of fighting, and the will to fight is greatly discounted.

I have to say that the North China Front ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
