This battle was not only a test for the Eighth Route Army, but also a test for the Japanese army in North China. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info When they were targeting the Suicha Military Region, the Eighth Route Army and the Nationalist Government were not idle.
During this time, the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province attacked repeatedly, defeating the Japanese army in the area, losing several county seats, and even almost losing several important county towns north of Taiyuan. The southwest of Jin was also attacked by the Chinese troops, and the defenders were besieged again, but fortunately, the defenders were tactically arranged very reasonably, and the Chinese troops attacked for four or five days and lost a large number of troops before stopping the attack, which may be a rare bright spot in the Great Japanese Imperial Army in this war.
This is still the best situation in Shanxi, the situation in several other provinces is not optimistic, Hebei and Pingjin will not be said, take Shandong, which has always been very calm, this time is also very hard, most of the troops have been transferred to Saibei by the front army headquarters, so the 12th Army Command can mobilize extremely limited troops, and now there are only the 17th Division and two mixed brigades temporarily under the command of the 12th Army in the entire Shandong.
However, the Chinese troops attacking Shandong had a whole group army, and I don't know what kind of medicine they were taking, and Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Second Front Army of China, actually stormed the Lunan area at all costs, and the 17th Division did not fall.
What is even more troublesome is that there is still a mysterious Eighth Route Army unit hidden in Shandong, and there are quite a few of them, they attack everywhere in peacetime with a small force, blow up railways, hijack trains, ambush transport teams, and when necessary, gather large forces to besiege the county seat, causing huge losses to the 12th Army, and the two troops have completely collapsed the security of the entire Shandong.
What is even more terrifying is that there is still a special combat team in that Eighth Route Army, and some time ago, the military police headquarters of four county towns were blown up in succession, and the commanders were assassinated, which greatly weakened the control of the 12th Army over Shandong.
This telegram from Yoshio Shinozuka put a lot of pressure on Major General Fujita, and the news from all sides indicated that his army had been surrounded by the Shina army, and the most important thing was that without the order of the front army headquarters, his army could not retreat, and even if it retreated, it was extremely risky. Therefore, Major General Fujita was ruthless and ordered the troops not to rest, and the whole army took turns to attack Daixian.
According to the investigation, there are a total of three checkpoints in Dai County, all of which are in the mode of pillboxes and trenches. Although this pattern is common, it is extremely tricky to put in the county. And the city is surrounded by the most capable general in the whole of China, and it is also the demon king of China that everyone fears and hates in the imperial army, which makes Major General Fujita like taking a piece of chicken ribs, and it is a pity to abandon it without taste.
However, the current situation forced Major General Fujita to bite the bullet, and he divided the troops that could be used now into six echelons, four echelons took turns to attack the two main gates of Daixian, and at the same time divided two echelons to find other possible places to enter the city.
Not to mention, it really allowed him to find a defense hole in Dai County. The biggest barrier in the county seat of Daixian is the thick city wall, and in the face of the command of the ancient Chinese sages, the Japanese army, who did not carry much artillery, had no way to take this small city. At the height of the battle, some people tried to use explosives to blast the city walls, but it turned out that there was a moat under the city walls of the county, and the soldiers could not get close to the city walls at all.
But at this moment, a soldier who had worked as a miner offered a plan to destroy the entire wall by blasting it underground, and then hit it from the collapsed wall. In fact, it is to dig a big hole in the ground and blow up the entire city wall.
After many arguments by all the officers of the command, in the end, Major General Fujita decided that there was a high probability of success, so he urgently transferred the demolition team and tried to blast the attack from the western city wall.
At this time, Ma Zheng, who was in Dai County, had not yet realized that the danger was approaching, and he was paying attention to the battle situation in the direction of Beiping at this time.
After a night's march, Ma Desheng's troops finally arrived at Jixian at 1 a.m. Garrisoned in Jixian is a garrison brigade of the Japanese army, during this time Tada Jun made frequent moves, lost a lot of troops one after another, and the days passed tightly, and a mistake led to the destruction of the Kato Brigade, so there was only one infantry brigade with less than 700 people in such an important town as Jixian, and the total strength was only about 700 people.
There was no suspense in the offensive and defensive battle of Jixian County, and the commander of the defending army, Yamada Kojiro Shaozo, was also a person who knew the current affairs, and knew that the hundreds of people in his hands were not the opponents of Tubalu at all, so there was no resistance at all. Except for an infantry squadron responsible for covering, the other devils fled directly to the south gate of the city.
Ma Desheng and Feng Youlun came with anger this time, but they didn't expect that their anger hit the cotton, and the depression in their hearts can be imagined.
However, they are not for nothing, Jixian County is the logistics base of the Zunhua garrison, and the wealth of their families can be imagined, not to mention weapons and equipment, food, gold and silver, just a few tons of oil hoarded in Jixian County are enough to make Feng Youlun excited. Although this oil is not much, it can only be used for half a month's combat by their regiment, but it is worth at least 20,000 oceans.
This is a big windfall for the financially difficult Suicha Military Region, plus other items seized, they have made a lot of money this time, and the only regret is that the little devil escaped.
However, it was nothing to escape from such a large-scale battle with hundreds of people, although Feng Youlun and the others were a little unhappy in their hearts, but the mood of the entire army was still very high. Once Jixian is defeated, it will be closer to Beiping City, and if the speed is fast enough, it will take three or four hours at most to reach Beiping, so the soldiers are very excited.
But soon Ma Desheng and the others were not happy, and less than two hours after they occupied Jixian, they received a telegram from Daixian. In the telegram, the former enemy general command told Ma Desheng that there was a fatal hole in the defense system of Dai County. The Japanese blew up the western wall with ********, causing the entire defense system to be shattered.
The most fatal thing is that because the incident occurred in the second half of the night, the guard regiment did not expect the Japanese army to come such a move, so the western city wall except for an infantry company had almost no rainy troops, and most of this infantry squad was buried under the city wall when the cliff collapsed, and the rest were also wiped out by the Japanese army. So by the time the guard regiment arrived at the western wall, it was already late, and the large forces of the Japanese army had already rushed to the wall.
However, fortunately, the collapsed wall was very difficult to climb and very dangerous, so it bought the guard regiment a certain amount of time, and now the guard regiment has built a simple defensive line near the western wall to stop the Japanese army. However, due to insufficient estimates, there were no fortifications at all in the west, and at this time the Japanese army had penetrated deep into the county seat of Daixian.
Under such a blow, the entire Daixian defense line was already crumbling, and the entire general command of the former enemy was in danger. Therefore, Ma Zheng ordered all troops on the front line to speed up the completion of the established battle plan, and the troops near Daixian quickly broke through the enemy's defensive line and surrounded the enemy in Daixian.
Originally, according to Ma Zheng's estimate, the Daixian defense line could hold on for at least half a month, but he didn't expect that there were capable people in the Japanese army. He could see that it was not the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army that blocked the Japanese army's siege, but the steep terrain and complete city fortifications. So I thought of blowing up the city wall to offset the advantages of Ma Zheng's department, not to mention that ordinary people can't think of this trick, even Ma Zheng, a genius of special operations, can't think of it.
To tell the truth, Ma Zheng has never paid attention to those Japanese soldiers under the mountain, and those people are not good at tactics or strategy, especially that Major General Fujita, who is a straw bag, and he is not afraid at all.
The reason why Ma Zheng has not solved the Japanese army outside the city is completely because he wants to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, otherwise he can destroy all the enemy troops by reorganizing a division to return to Daixian, after all, for the Japanese army outside the city, a sneak attack operation turned into a tug-of-war itself is a fatal mistake. Now that this enemy force is a real threat to his safety and the entire former enemy headquarters, it is time to deal with this scourge. (To be continued.) )
