Part 3: The War of Resistance of Blood and Fire, Chapter 10, the Raging Tide, Section 4, the Destruction of the North China Dispatch Army

Li Zongfei was silent, Pan Wenhua and he belonged to the same Sichuan Army, but Pan Wenhua belonged to the 21st Army, and the 47th Army belonged to the former Sichuan Frontier Army Li Jiayu Luo Zezhou. The bigwigs in the Sichuan army, Deng Xihou, Yang Sen, Pan Wenhua, Wang Lingji, and the middle-level generals below all admitted this in fact.

"Commander, once the Japanese army finds out that our army is blocking, he still has a way, from Xiaying to the north, through the mountains in the north, out of the Great Wall, to Xinglong." Li Zongfu said: "In order to prevent the Japanese army from taking this line, it is better to surround the vanguard of the Japanese army first, and induce the main force of the Japanese army to come to the aid and buy time for the follow-up troops." ”

Pan Wenhua did not answer immediately, and the troops that were rushing were not only Chen Lie's New 14th Army, but also the 112th Army of the New Eighth Army of the Qing Third Army, which did not belong to the 52nd Group Army, and the Sixth Independent Tank Brigade assigned to him was hidden in the southwest canyon of Sungezhuang.

At this time, the liaison staff officer came to report, and the latent reconnaissance detachment reported that Baxian Mountain had discovered the Japanese search force, and Li Zongfat was a little anxious: "Commander, make up your mind, otherwise it will be too late." ”

"Okay then, send a reinforced regiment," Pan Wenhua finally gave in, and the reason that prompted him to give in was Li Zongfat's concerns, if the Japanese army could not open the way to the east, it would inevitably go north and out of the Great Wall, so that the entire encirclement would be defeated.

Li Zongfu was overjoyed, turned around and grabbed the phone to give orders to the troops, while Pan Wenhua gave an order to the communications staff officer, ordering the reconnaissance detachment to lurk in Baxian Mountain, monitor the Japanese army, and report the movements of the Japanese army at any time.

The reconnaissance detachment was composed of reconnaissance battalions of the group army, each detachment had six or seven people, and carried a walkie-talkie.

After more than an hour, the vicinity of the Taiping Temple was quiet, and there was silence in the canyon more than ten miles long from the Taiping Temple to Longquan Mountain, and the peaks on both sides looked a little lonely and desolate under the afterglow of the setting sun, and the tired birds fell into the sparse woods.

After passing through the Eight Immortals Mountain, Tanaka Shinichi's heart finally fell into his stomach, and the sky was getting dark, and the troops began to light torches, and the long procession walked through the canyon.

Shinichi Tanaka rode on his horse, looking at the dark and dreary mountains on both sides, and sighed in his heart.

"At this rate, you can get to the Taiping Temple in another hour." Qi Tian sighed, but in terms of troops, the Battle of Pingjin was the largest gathering of troops of the imperial army after the Battle of Wuhan. Before the start of the war, the generals of the North China Dispatch Army were full of confidence, but less than a week after the start of the war, the battle line was completely broken, the Gu'an defenders were annihilated, and Langfang was surrounded on three sides, falling into a complete passivity.

Shinichi Tanaka also sighed, he fought from Burma to North China, failed several times, and his ambition to strengthen the invasion had long since faded, and now he wanted most to get his troops out of this dangerous area as soon as possible.

Perhaps they all knew that they were going to get out of the dangerous area, and the troops were advancing faster, quickly crossing Longquan Mountain, Tanaka Shinichi finally smiled: "Qi Tianjun, it seems that the Chinese army did not expect the imperial army to take this road, and the Chinese general still made a big mistake, if he deploys a unit in the Eight Immortals Mountain, we can only turn around and head north." ”

The generals of Qian Zhengxin and others still believe that a Yellow Army soldier is equivalent to five Chinese soldiers and other nonsense, Tanaka Shinichi no longer believes in this kind of nonsense a few years ago, after the Battle of Pingjin, he doesn't want to believe this kind of nonsense, and now the situation of the troops, once a squadron of ** team occupies Baxian Mountain, he has absolutely no confidence to break through the defense line of the ** squadron.

Qi Tian also agreed with Tanaka Shinichi's judgment: "When the god of war is also defeated, General Shina may have miscalculated this time." ”

"It's been seven years since the Shina Incident, and I still haven't seen any hope of a solution, Qi Tianjun, the empire is in crisis." As the distance to Taiheiji Temple got closer and closer, Shinichi Tanaka was also in the mood to make small talk.

"As samurai, we can only do our duty as samurai, and as for the rest, we can only resign ourselves to fate." Qi Tian's tone was more pessimistic, the defeat of the Battle of Pingjin would make the fate of Japan's defeat undoubted, but the allies demanded unconditional surrender, which was difficult for the empire to accept, and they could only fight.

The cherry blossoms are beautiful, but their beauty is only for a short moment, and in this short moment, it exudes a brilliant brilliance. Japan is like the cherry blossoms, 50 years of hard work in exchange for a brilliant moment. This moment was so beautiful that all Japanese people were intoxicated, but when they woke up, the prosperity of that moment was gone, and all that was left was infinite fear.

Shinichi Tanaka was silent, looking up at the sky, the firelight covered the trees and strange rocks in the mountains, and in the distance were a few bright stars, hanging on that twinkle, two red stars suddenly rose from the top of the mountain and flew towards the sky, emitting a red light.

In an instant, Tanaka Shinichi felt that the entire sky was illuminated by these two stars, and the black mountains exuded a strange beauty under the red light, and all the twinkling stars disappeared behind this beautiful curtain.

"What's that?" Tanaka Shinichi muttered in a low voice, but there were already a few sharp whistling sounds in his ears.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

More than a dozen shells exploded in the valley in a row, and the team was suddenly in chaos, and the adjutant next to him hurriedly grabbed Tanaka Shinichi's dock and shouted at Tanaka Shinichi, but Tanaka Shinichi didn't hear anything, he just stared blankly at the strange red of the sky.

It was still Qi Tian who reacted, jumped off the horse and ran a few steps to Tanaka Shinichi's horse, pulling Tanaka Shinichi off the horse, Tanaka Shinichi woke up to the fact that the troops were under attack, and the squadron was attacking his division.

Shouts were heard everywhere, gunfire was heard everywhere, mortar shells exploded in the valley, soldiers were scrambling to find shelter, and Shinichi Tanaka was pulled behind a rock by his adjutant.

"Why? How so? What's going on? Shinichi Tanaka kept muttering to himself, and he staggered behind the rocks, and everything around him was in a mess.

"Division commander, division commander! What to do?! In the firelight, Qi Tian's face turned pale, and there was panic in his eyes, obviously he had not recovered from the surprise attack of the ** team.

Chief of Staff Sawasaki Pu came running in the rain of bullets, a cannonball exploded not far away, the shock wave lifted him up, Tanaka's adjutant hurriedly grabbed her, but Sawasaki's body rushed forward and pounced on Tanaka, and the two rolled under the rocks at once.

The adjutant and Qi Tian hurriedly pulled them up, and Sawazaki didn't wait to stand firm before he gasped and reported to Tanaka: "Division commander! We were fooled! Longquan Mountain must be seized as soon as possible! Cover the retreat of the divisional regiment. ”

"Yes, Longquan Mountain must be seized as soon as possible!" Qi Tian also agreed, "Telegraph to the riverside commander that we are under attack and order the 78th Division to come up as soon as possible."

Sawazaki's collision woke Tanaka from his shock and confusion, and he stretched out his head to look left and right, on the mountains on both sides, the fire of the squadron was very fierce, and the valley for miles was full of gunfire and explosions. The explosion in front was even more violent, and Tanaka could tell that it was the explosion of a shell from a 105 howitzer.

Tanaka grabbed the map from the staff officer and squatted on the ground, Sawazaki and Saida also squatted next to him, Tanaka said: "Judging by the firepower, the Shina army has at least ......"

As he was talking, there was a lot of gunfire in the direction of Longquan Mountain behind, and Gu Qiangyu on the opposite side was also gunshot, and the staff officer quickly ran to report that there was a branch army in Longquan Mountain, and from the firepower, there was a brigade.

After several years of war, the Japanese army's equipment for the squadron, especially the integrated units of the Central Army, is also relatively clear, the 75 mountain artillery is equipped at the brigade level, and the 105 howitzer is only equipped at the army level;

150 howitzers were armed only by army groups; So as long as you listen to the sound of artillery, you can judge the size of the squadron.

"There is at least one army of the Chinese army in front of us." Tanaka's expression was very serious: "The intention of the Chinese army is to encircle and annihilate our division, if it is only to block our army, they will not seize Longquan Mountain and Guqiangyu."

"To break the attempt of the Chinese Army, it is necessary to immediately open up contact with the 78th Division, order the 55th Wing to take a defensive position against the frontal Chinese Army, and order the 56th Wing to quickly seize the 107th Heights and 103rd on the left

On the high ground, the 114th Wing was ordered to allocate no less than one brigade to defend Longquan Mountain, and the other forces to launch an attack on Guqiangyu, and it was necessary to capture Guqiangyu as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the rear road of the division and regiment. ”

Due to the delay in receiving orders from the divisions and regiments, the commanders of the various units have begun to act according to their own judgments, and the tactical qualities of the junior officers of the Japanese army have undoubtedly been revealed. Mizushima judged from the sound of artillery that the squadron on the front had a division, and with the strength of one of his wings, he could not break through the frontal blockade, but he still sent the Takaki brigade to attack the squadron on the front, and at the same time sent the Yoshikawa squadron to seize the small hill on the east side, which was relatively tight from the valley, and the squadron did not leave troops on it.

There was no doubt that the Takaki brigade, which was attacking head-on, was quickly beaten back, and at this time Tanaka's order also arrived, and Mizushima immediately deployed troops to defend on the spot, and at this time, the Japanese army also discovered a situation in their favor, and it was already dark.

The fire from the muzzle of the gun was very striking in the dark night, but in the dark night, except for this little red light, the rest of the area was pitch black, and this kind of dark night was very beneficial for the movement and defense of the troops.

The troops are well placed to take advantage of this favourable situation.

Tanaka apparently also found this powerful information, in the previous round of attack, although the soldiers showed great bravery, but the troops were still beaten back, only the attack on Gu Qiangyu achieved some gains, conquering the two hills at the foot of the mountain.

"The division must retreat overnight!" Tanaka immediately concluded from Mizushima's report that he was unable to open a passage to Tanglin and immediately made the decision to retreat.

But to Tanaka's disappointment, his decision was revoked by Kawabe Shozo, and Kawabe Shozo's order was to launch an attack at night, advance the whole army eastward, and take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the night battle to kill a bloody road and rush to Tanglin.

"Receiving a telegram from Commander Umezu, the 138th Division is already approaching Tanglin, as long as our army can rush through the Pacific Ocean, it will be able to meet the 138th Division, I have ordered the 78th Division to increase the speed, and join your division, your division should be determined to attack forward and break through the resistance of the Chinese army!"

Shinichi Tanaka's hand trembled with the telegram, and he couldn't help but scold.! ~！
