The battle on the Zhangjiakou front line was in full swing, and the whole morning's attack had consumed most of the energy of both sides, and both the 10th Division and the reorganized 2nd Division were about to reach the limit of what they could bear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the large number of unconscionable artillery used by the Second Division, the Japanese army destroyed more than 30 combat vehicles in just one morning, and the troops also suffered more than 3,000 casualties, which was equivalent to the loss of combat effectiveness of an integrated infantry wing.
However, the Japanese attack was still very sharp, and the 2nd Division also suffered a lot of losses, losing more than 800 people in one brigade and one regiment in just one morning, and also lost more than a dozen unconscionable guns.
After all, the unconscionable artillery still cannot be compared with the Japanese army's field heavy artillery, especially in terms of firing range, the unconscionable artillery has no way to deal with the Japanese army's field heavy artillery.
After a morning of fighting, the two fronts of Yang Chengwu's troops at the forefront were already in danger of partial collapse, so Yang Shilang had no choice but to order the troops to retreat to the third trench to resist.
Although he broke through the two trenches of the Eighth Route Army in one morning, Seishiro Itagaki who was watching the battle at the front headquarters was very dissatisfied with the attack of the North China Front.
Even if it is dealing with the most elite Central Army in China, this situation will be at most, and now it is the most prestigious 10th Division of the Empire that is attacking head-on, which is the top 10 field divisions of the Imperial Japanese Army in terms of combat effectiveness.
And the opposing branch of the army is just a little-known miscellaneous army, I heard that under the command of Ma Zheng, it is not the most powerful and combat-effective unit, just such a ragtag army in the miscellaneous army is on par with the most elite 10th Division of the empire, Itagaki Seishiro felt not only sadness, but also lingering fear.
As a commander and a commander with extremely rich combat experience, Itagaki Seishiro knew very well how lethal this three-dimensional attack method was.
But even if the Imperial forces were so well prepared, the opposite side of the China Soil Eight Road was not afraid, using extremely advanced fortifications designed to rely on a large number of pillboxes to block the attack. As far as the present situation is concerned, the results of the Chinese army are brilliant, and an infantry wing of the 10th Division has lost its combat effectiveness in one morning, and I think the people of China should be very happy.
Obviously, Itagaki Seishiro still underestimated the appetite of Yang Chengwu and others, and also underestimated the realm of the Chinese commander. After receiving the casualty statistics from the front line, Yang Chengwu not only did not mean the slightest joy, but scolded his mother loudly in the underground headquarters.
"His grandmother's, how did Shi Wenhu do that ****, how did he lose more than a thousand people in one morning, and he also lost more than a dozen cannons, is it easy for Lao Tzu and the commander to ask for this bit of belongings, they are all a group of fucking losers!"
"Li Wenqing's bastard is not a fucking good thing, is the little devil easy to provoke, and he can't figure out the situation, he actually let the troops fight a countercharge, and someone attacked indiscriminately and directly destroyed a battalion of him, and a battalion of **** was exchanged for a squadron, and he did this kind of loss-making business, he was really fucking stupid."
He Xiulin, the political commissar of the Chanan Military Division, saw that Yang Chengwu scolded like this, although he knew that Yang Chengwu was in a bad mood now, but after all, the little devil was still attacking, and he had lost so many troops in one morning, and if it continued like this in the afternoon, the battle would really not be able to be fought.
So He Xiulin opened his mouth to persuade: "Lao Yang, don't scold your mother, you also know that the little devil we are facing is not an ordinary devil, it is the most elite 10th Division of the Japanese army, and everyone is equipped with aircraft, artillery and tanks, and what do we have, which few conscienceless guns are just a few iron buckets, but they are not as good as the devil's field heavy artillery, Shi Wenhu can fight like this is already very commendable." ”
"Lao He, you fucking just stand and talk without back pain, is it easy for us to accumulate this little belongings?" Yang Chengwu said dissatisfiedly.
"Lao Yang, it's really not easy to talk about other people, especially Liu Fengchi's Fourth Division and Xu Hu's Fifth Division, it's really difficult to get equipment, but it's different for you here, who doesn't know the relationship between you and the commander, and now the entire military region is the most fierce you want to equip yourself, so don't be angry." He Xiulin said.
Being said by He Xiulin, Yang Chengwu was also a little embarrassed, his own is indeed much more than other troops!
"Hahaha, Lao He, it's okay, it's okay, I can't admit defeat! Isn't it just a 10th Division? If it weren't for the fact that those Iron Kings were too difficult to get, our military division's hook and finger would have been able to destroy him, what about the elite, the commander said, our Suicha Military Region is the elite! Yang Chengwu said with a smile.
He Xiulin also smiled and said: "Although the troops below did not fight well today, the casualties are a little bigger, but the results are not small, Shi Wenhu and Li Wenqing together have reimbursed about five or six thousand devils and more than fifty chariots, and now Ueda to one is afraid that the old devil is going to be distressed by the blood!" ”
"Hehe, don't worry, we have twelve lines of defense, and now we have only lost two, and the little devil has to take tens of thousands of people to fill in if he wants to take Zhangjiakou!" Yang Chengwu said.
"That's right, just let them fill with human lives!" He Xiulin said in a voice.
Not to mention that Yang Chengwu and He Xiulin were arguing here, they only rested for less than an hour at noon, and the Japanese attack began again.
The third line of defense of the Eighth Route Army was built in general, because of the terrain, so this line of defense here was just a cover, on the one hand, to give the Japanese army a little confidence, and on the other hand, of course, to consume the Japanese army's ammunition.
“... Rumble... Rumble... Boom..."
The Japanese artillery fire was stretching, and the fighters of the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion were nervously waiting for the signal in the bomb shelters of the third line of defense. In the past few days, they have become accustomed to such shelling, and they would not have been accustomed to it if the Japanese had not carried out shelling before that attack.
"Battalion commander, can we leave Zhangjiakou alive?" A relatively young soldier asked Xu Dashan, the commander of the second battalion.
Xu Dashan smiled and took out a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water and said: "Yes, sure, this is a token of love given to me by your sister-in-law, if I don't go back, his landlord father really doesn't know how to marry her to that bastard, so I will definitely go back, I can go back alive, you can go back alive, believe in yourself!" ”
"Believe in yourself!" The little warrior said with a slight distraction in his eyes.
Half a century later, Li Wanyun, a famous general of a generation, said with deep emotion in an interview: "My whole life was to truly integrate into the big family of the army in the defense of Zhangjiakou, and that tragic battle and my battalion commander, the late General Xu Dashan, told me a motto that has affected my life - believe in yourself, yes, as long as a soldier believes in himself, he can leave the battlefield alive." ”
......
......
When the reporter asked him about the battle that changed his life, Li Wanyun only said one sentence: "We fought very hard in that battle, but the devils fought very badly, and in the end we lost Zhangjiakou, and the Japanese army lost the whole of North China." ”
At the same time that the Japanese army launched a frantic attack on Zhangjiakou, the Eighth Route Army on the front line of Yangyuan and Weixian was also sharpening their knives and eager to try!
Ma Zheng has been analyzing the current defensive situation of the Japanese army, and is pleased to find that the First Army stationed in Shanxi is now like a lone army breaking into the hinterland of Shanxi, with the Second War Zone of Yan Xishan to the west of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, the First War Zone of Wei Lihuang to the south, the Suicha Military Region with Ma Zheng in the north, and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in the southeast.
Now the First Army stationed in Shanxi only relies on the Zhengtai Railway to connect with the North China Front, as long as the Zhengtai Road is cut off and the Taihang Mountains are held, then the tens of thousands of troops of the First Army stationed in Shanxi will completely become the king of the urn, and it will be impossible to escape.
Last time, Ma Zheng planned to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Battle of Changsha to take the first army and recover the entire territory of Shanxi, but in the end it was forced to be interrupted because of the sudden withdrawal of the Japanese army from the Changsha front.
