Section 4 The Destruction of the North China Dispatch Army VIII
The sky was bright, Pan Wenhua sighed in his heart, the new army rushed to the Tanglin area shortly after sunset last night, but Pan Wenhua did not send them to the Taiping Temple to participate in the battle, but sent them to the front line of Yuanbao Mountain to set up a blocking position to block the 138th Division of the Kwantung Army that came to reinforce and relieve the siege. \、Qb⑤.coM\
The 52nd Group Army had three armies, and the Third Army, Tang Huaiyuan, had been fighting independently after outflanking Sanhe in the early stage, and now it had returned to its formation and was crossing the Jiulong Mountains and rushing to the battlefield.
Last night's battle lasted all night, Pan Wenhua's heart has been very tight, the 52nd Group Army is a branch army, it is not outstanding in the battle on the outskirts of Tianjin, and its performance can only be regarded as average, but now it is responsible for the key to the entire battle, last night can be said to be the most dangerous period, fortunately, the first to enter the battle is the 47th Army, which has experienced a hundred battles, and it is really difficult to say what the result will be if it is to be replaced by the Xinyou Army or the Third Army.
More than 20 warplanes bombed violently along the valley, and the smoke of gunpowder rose along the valley for dozens of miles, forming a huge smoke barren under the cliff of a mountain peak a mountain far from the front line.
"Morinachi-kun, let's reorganize the attack." Hebian Zhengsan put down the binoculars, and it was obvious that the [middle] ** team on the mountain table tennis had been reinforced again, and the firepower was stronger than the last attack.
The commander of the 78th Division, Sheng Nei, sighed heavily, last night's attack lasted all night, and the casualties of the 288th Wing of the main attack reached more than 2,000 people, and it had lost its combat effectiveness, and it was replaced by the 287th Wing in the early hours of this morning, and the 287th Wing has now also retreated.
The condition of the 78th Division was slightly better than that of the 18th Division, the troops participated in fewer battles in Tianjin, and they did not take on the task of breaking the rear or opening the road along the way, and the ammunition was much better stocked, and at least half a base of shells per gun remained. After the 27th Division came up, it took over the 78th Division's attack on the left flank of Longquan Mountain and Guqiangyu, while the Nai Division concentrated its forces to conquer the nameless heights in front of it and connect with Tanaka Shinichi.
"Report! Commander, General Tanaka called, the offensive of the Chinese army is fierce, and he asks to get in touch as soon as possible! ”
Kawabe Shozo received the telegram from the staff officer, and Tanaka Shinichi reported on the telegram that after dawn, the Shina Army launched an attack from the front and the left and right flanks, and at present the division is trapped in the valley, the 55th Wing and the division have been cut off, and the 56th Wing and the 1st Wing have lost more than half. Tanaka Shinichi made no secret of his anger and used extremely tough words, demanding that the 78th Division be ordered to open the passage as soon as possible, and the whole army turned to Huangya Pass.
Soon another telegram came that made Kawabe Shozo a little panicked, Umezu Mijiro forwarded a telegram from the 138th Division, and Yamamoto, the commander of the 138th Division, reported that he was stubbornly blocked by the Shina Army on the front line of Yuanbao Mountain, and asked Kawabe Shozo to move closer to him as soon as possible.
Umezu Mijiro may also have felt bad, and in a telegram, he told Shozo Kawabe that if he felt that it was difficult to advance eastward, he could first go out of the Great Wall to meet Naosaburo Okabe, so as to keep what the ministry considered to be the primary purpose.
This telegram made Kawabe Shozo furious, he obviously felt that this was Umezu Mijiro in his mind to shirk his responsibilities and go north through the Yellow Cliff Pass to get out of the Great Wall, why did he go earlier, now the 18th Division is surrounded, and if he wants to go, he must rescue the 18th Division and then leave. Moreover, what is even worse is that if you want to go north to Huangya Pass, you must return to Xiaying Town. But at this moment, the ** team is storming Xiaying Town, and the troops are in a continuous emergency after the break, and the troops have to withdraw from Xiaying Town, and Hebian Zhengsan has to transfer the entire army of the 1st Division to strengthen the troops.
Of course, the road to the north is not nothing, through the Qingshan Ridge Jiugou Village to the north, over the southern foot of Yanshan, out of the Great Wall, but this route is more difficult than the Huangya Pass, except after the Jiugou Village, there is almost no road, only the road of hunters and medicine pickers, the road is rugged and difficult, since ancient times it has been the marriage of bandits.
As a last resort, Kawabe Shozo was absolutely reluctant to take this road, and to embark on this road was destined to abandon all heavy weapons and almost all the seriously wounded, and even the horses could not walk.
Kawabe Shozo can only intensify the attack, attack, and attack again, desperately breaking through the blocking line in front of him.
"Boom!" "Boom!" Two bombs exploded on the hill, and one of the fighters' swing wings quickly pulled up, joined up with other planes in the sky, and then flew south.
Shozo got up from the ground, patted the dust off his body, grabbed the binoculars and looked ahead, where the terrain was relatively high and he could see part of the enemy's position.
"Boom!" The artillery shells fell into the position, the smoke rose, and the soldiers on the position hid in the trenches one after another, and the riverside Zhengzo had studied this position several times, in fact, the tactical ability of the commander of the ** team was not very clever, he had seen several weaknesses, but the problem was that the firepower of the ** squadron was very strong, and there was also the support of the [Chinese] artillery on Longquan Mountain, and every time it was about to be defeated, the shells came whizzing.
The positions of the Chinese army were shrouded in smoke, but soon, the Chinese army on Longquan Mountain began to return fire, and the artillery that was firing hurriedly stopped firing and shifted positions. There were not many shells left, and there was no strength for an artillery battle with the Chinese army.
The infantry began to attack the hills, not at a rapid pace, but slowly approaching, and both Kawabe Masa* and Morinai pinned their hopes on the quality of the soldiers.
"Boom!" The shells of the ** team exploded on the attack route, the soldiers increased their speed and began to run, and after entering a hundred meters, the ** team on the hill began to shoot.
Hebian Zhengsan found that the ** team now shoots within 100 meters, Langfang is like this, and it is still like this, I will think that seven years ago, it is completely possible to judge how their equipment is according to the distance of the ** team of the ** team, and if they shoot about 200 meters, the equipment must be good, and those who shoot within 100 meters must have poor equipment. However, no matter how good or bad the equipment is, they dare to put the Japanese troops within 100 meters before firing, and individual units, like the 49th Group Army, dare to put the imperial troops within 60 or 70 meters before firing.
After the first team fired, the Japanese army began to crawl and advance, some soldiers jumped into the crater, set up machine guns to shoot at the hills, and sighed by the river, the current imperial army is far from catching up with seven years of fighting, seven years ago, at the beginning of the war, the imperial soldiers were almost all sharpshooters, this kind of holding shooting, the first team can often only hold on for a while before it will be shaken, but now, in this short minute, the river side is in this short minute, it was found that seven or eight imperial soldiers have fallen, and the soldiers in the trench have only fallen five or six.
The strength of the [middle] ** team on the hill is about a reinforced company, but the strength of the blocking force is about a regiment, because the firepower on the hill is very strong, there are six tǐng of light and heavy machine guns, and more than ten tǐng of other light machine guns.
Now it was up to the warrior spirit of the soldiers to rush into the positions of the Mina army.
The ** team opened fire, and the river side Zhengsan found that the mortars of the ** team hit very accurately, and the shells accurately fell about 100 meters to 150 meters, and the continuous explosions shrouded the area in smoke.
The officer who was originally prostrate on the ground drew his command knife and took the lead in charging towards the hill, but before he could take two steps, he was beaten into a sieve by the oncoming rain of bullets, and several brave soldiers jumped up and shouted Banzai to charge forward, but their fate did not change either, and they fell to the ground in an instant.
"This won't work!" Kawabe Shozo deeply regretted that if he continued like this, even if he could get through the connection with Tanaka Shinichi, it was difficult to say whether he could break through the defense of the [Zhong] ** team in Taiping Temple in the end. But what if not?
This time the attack retreated, Kawabe Shozo did not order another attack, he had to come up with a way to destroy the defense of the [Medium] ** team, the first thing was to break their firepower network, and it had to be fast, Kawabe knew that the [Medium] ** team was rushing from the south, and he didn't have much time.
Shozo Riverside is thinking hard about how to get rid of the fate of destruction; The army was cut in two and divided into three parts, facing an extremely difficult situation.
The attack on Gubeikou did not hit Gubeikou at all, the ** team held the Nantianmen, and the 5th Division and the 36th Division led by Yasuken Nakajima entered Longkouyu eastward, and the situation was really similar to what Gu Shoufu estimated, and the ** team had a battalion of troops to occupy Longkouyu, and the troops commanded by Kangjian Nakajima launched more than 10 strong attacks in a row, and they were about to rush to Longkouyu, and a unit of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared from outside the Great Wall. Several bandit troops rushed to Longkouyu again, and at the same time the "middle" team that occupied Gubeikou also sent a regiment to reinforce Longkouyu, and the position of Longkouyu re-stabilized the line to attack Nantianmen and Longkouyu failed, but the "middle" team behind it strengthened the sub-attack, the 51st Group Army continued to attack, and the 23rd Group Army crossed the Tuling and inserted into the back road of the master's tun, Saeki Fumiro noticed the eastward direction of the "middle" ** team, abandoned the master's tun, and retreated to the northwest ridge of the mouth of the Chaohe Valley to continue to block.
The ** team followed the pursuit, the 51st Group Army went to the northwest ridge and continued the attack, Saeki Fumiro went all out to meet the battle, but at this moment, Zhang Lingfu, the commander of the 103rd Army, personally led the new 21st Division to kill from the mountains to the west, conquered Waiwa Mountain in one fell swoop, and then waded into the Chaohe River and occupied Beitai Village.
The troops of Sue Seizo and Gu Shouo were cut into two pieces, south of Kitatai Village were the 26th Division, the 6th Division, and the 13th Division led by Saeki Fumiro, to the north were Sue Seizo and Tani Toshio, and the 9th and 19th Divisions were counterattacking Nantianmen and Gubeikou, and the Longkouyu line to the west was on the offensive, and the 5th Division and 36th Division led by Nakajima Yasuken.
Just when Seisan was hesitating, Nakajima Yasuken called from Longkouyu, and Nakajima Yasuken directly proposed to abandon the three divisions of Saeki Fumiro, and the remaining four divisions directly out of Longkouyu and retreat to Chengde.
With Nakajima's telegram in hand, Seizo Arisue and Toshio Tani both hesitated and gave up the three divisions of Fumiro Saeki, which now had more than 16,000 people, so they gave up? Neither of them dared to give this order. @。
