On the morning of October 23. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Xuanhua.
Wang Wenbin issued an order to increase the momentum of the attack on Xuanhua, slow down before the final capture, and wait for the devils in Zhangjiakou to leave the city before launching a general attack.
Sure enough, after the Jinzhou Column surrounded the Xuanhua Military Police Headquarters, the Japanese troops in Zhangjiakou were dispatched. This time, the Japanese army dispatched a thousand men, armed with infantry guns and mortars, and marched to Xuanhua. Sixty miles of road, walking, it is estimated that it will be there before noon.
Wang Wenbin received the information, and at the sound of an order, several large explosive bags were thrown into the courtyard, and the Xuanhua Military Police Headquarters was razed to the ground. It took less than half an hour for the large force to clear the city near the gendarmerie headquarters.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army arrived in Xuanhua and gathered on both sides of the railway west of Xuanhua City, preparing mortars and preparing to attack Xuanhua.
This time, the Japanese army came with three brigades, less than 3,000 people, one was an infantry brigade, one was an artillery brigade, and one was an engineer brigade, which came to build the road. Because the puppet army was annihilated a while ago, there were only a few spies who led the way.
The garrison of Zhangjiakou was all evacuated, so it had to arm the Japanese civilians, plus a few hundred troops were mobilized from nearby Zhangbei. At present, these hundreds of people are still on the way from Zhangbei to Zhangjiakou.
The place where they assembled was on both sides of the railway, and on the south side was the crop fields of the river beach, which had just been harvested, and there were many ridges. On the north side are fields and houses, with lots of woods, houses, shantytowns, and even firewoods.
At this moment, there were a few toms behind the firewood and straw stacks of the nearby people's houses, and more than a dozen explosive bags flew out.
The explosive bag exploded on the artillery position, and the power was so great that more than a dozen large craters were blown up on the ground, and more than 200 people were killed at that time.
The Japanese were stunned by the sudden heavy artillery bombardment, and when they came to their senses, the second wave of shelling came. This time the target of the shelling was the infantry brigade, which was at a greater distance, and the explosive package exploded in the air with greater damage. Then the third wave came, this time again against the infantry brigade.
Forty packs of explosives, quite forty rounds of heavy artillery shelling. Although the second and third waves were not as effective as the first, nearly 300 people were still killed. After three rounds, more people were injured and shocked.
The Japanese troops assembled, lined up, and began to attack Xuanhua, at this time, the fourth wave of heavy artillery bombardment came, this time although there were less than ten rounds, but they were accurately bombed in the ranks of the infantry brigade. This time, because the Japanese army was on the offensive, more people died.
The Japanese army suffered such a blow in less than half an hour after reaching the outside of Xuanhua City, and it stands to reason that it should have retreated.
However, a change disrupted all this.
In the midst of such a violent explosion, a single gunshot would not have attracted attention at all. However, this shot changed the situation of the battle, and the commander of the Japanese infantry brigade was killed.
The Japanese army was in confusion for a while, and the commander of the artillery group took over the command. The commander of the artillery group was a brave samurai, he gave the order and prepared to attack. Although the artillery shells are finished, they can be used for infantry.
The Japanese army formed a scattered formation and attacked Xuanhua.
More than two hundred meters into the charge, gunshots suddenly rang out in the nearby fields, it was the sound of submachine guns and rifles, there were dozens of submachine guns, denser than machine guns. The Japanese were held down by intensive fire, and a large number of soldiers were wounded and died.
The Japanese were repulsed.
The charge was impossible, and the Japanese quickly lay down and returned fire on the spot.
The two armies were in a stalemate, the Japanese light and heavy machine-gun positions were quickly deployed, and the sappers dug trenches and fenced off a position on the railway, ready to resist stubbornly and wait for reinforcements.
Half an hour after the bombardment of the opposing heavy artillery stopped, it fired again, this time only ten guns. These ten artillery pieces bombed the position, and the Japanese position was damaged when they landed.
After three rounds of shelling, it seemed that only three artillery shots remained in the enemy's ranks.
At the same time as the shelling, the sparse gunfire did not stop, and the machine gun shooter who felt the danger to the Japanese troops on the machine gun position was killed, and the secondary shooter was killed. No one dared to approach the machine gun anymore.
Several of the heralds who walked back and forth in the position also died, and the orders of the command headquarters located in the middle of the position could not be conveyed, and the Japanese army was in chaos.
The shelling of the opposing side stopped.
The Japanese army judged that the other side was poor after all, and it may be that there were no more shells. Now that the telegram has been sent, the planes of the Air Force will arrive in half an hour, and as long as they hold out for a day, reinforcements will arrive.
At this time, the dull sound of artillery fire in the distance on the opposite side came again, and the Japanese army had already found the pattern, and everyone immediately lay down and dodged the heavy artillery.
The cannon exploded at the command headquarters.
It was the last and decisive shot of the battle, and the two captains were killed together.
A few remaining squadron leaders ran to the headquarters. The captains were all dead, and the news immediately spread throughout the Japanese positions.
Several squadron leaders argued, and some wanted to continue the stubborn resistance: half of us were still uninjured and could fight. Some wanted to retreat: the commanders were all dead, more than a third were killed in battle, many were wounded, and they could not fight.
At this time, there was another change on the battlefield, and a squadron leader who was arguing fiercely was killed. With a command knife in his hand, he waved it desperately, arguing and boosting morale, and he was very conspicuous in the position.
As a result, he was shot in the head and died instantly.
The retreating faction immediately gained the upper hand and conveyed the order to attack first and then retreat!
Japanese infantry brigades began to fire, artillery and sappers prepared to retreat.
A signal flare was lifted into the air, and there were loud killings all around, and a large number of soldiers, thousands of soldiers, stood in the ridges near the railway, behind the haystacks, behind the houses, and behind the trees. It was five or six hundred meters away from the Japanese position, and only two or three hundred meters away.
The soldiers were scattered in formation, with a submachine gun every five or six people, and the fire was strong, and soon they were in front of the Japanese position. The Japanese stood up and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.
On the opposite side, there was no hand-to-hand combat at all, the submachine gun fire was strong, and soon, the position was torn apart, and the remaining hundreds of Japanese troops were quickly reduced in number under the blows of several thousand people.
At this time, Japanese planes came.
The plane flew over the battlefield and saw that the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were mixed together and could not launch a bombing at all, so they turned around a few times and flew away.
On the west side of the position, more than 1,000 Japanese troops retreated in an organized manner, and had just retreated less than a kilometer when fire suddenly opened fire in the fields on the north side.
The Japanese commander quickly judged that the opponent was small in number and immediately sent a small force to meet the attack. The other party also seems to know that he has few people, and he will retreat with one blow.
In this way, he was harassed for more than 20 miles and lost more than 100 people. The Japanese army continued to retreat to Zhangjiakou, and before they reached Shalingzi Station, a signal flare was fired on the hillside on the north side, and the sound of killing sounded, smoke and dust rose from the hillside, and thousands of war horses rushed towards the Japanese army.
The Japanese commander saw that there were more than 4,000 people on the other side, and about 1,000 on his own, and he was not at all invincible, so he could only continue to retreat after blocking the attack. It's a pity that it's too late to block the attack, and the other party has already rushed to the front. This time, the troops still had a submachine gun every five or six people, firing on horses, and the fire was so powerful that a large number of Japanese soldiers were killed by submachine guns.
