Section 4 The Destruction of the North China Dispatch Army IX
The new 14th Army rushed to the Tanglin area shortly after sunset last night, but Pan Wenhua did not send them to Taiping Temple to participate in the battle, but sent them to the front line of Yuanbaoshan to set up a blocking position to block the 138th Division of the Kwantung Army that came to reinforce and relieve the siege. Full/Ben/Small/Say/Net
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 jī battle, Pan Wenhua's heart has been very tight, the 52nd Group Army is a branch army, in the battle on the periphery of Tianjin, it is not brilliant, the performance can only be regarded as average, but now it is responsible for the key to the whole 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, to be replaced by the new 14th Army or the Third Army, it is really hard to say what the result will be.
The sound of airplanes' motors was heard in the sky, and the explosion in the valley became even more violent, and more than 20 warplanes bombed violently along the valley, and the smoke of gunpowder rose along the dozens of miles, forming a huge smoke belt.
At the foot of a mountain peak at the front line, the riverside was hiding behind a rock, holding a telescope to observe the attack of the troops, and in the telescope, the attacking troops were retreating in disarray.
"Morinachi-kun, let's reorganize the attack." Shozo Riverside put down the binoculars, and it was obvious that the squadron on the hill 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, which was 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 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 reserves were much better, at least half a base of shells for each gun.
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 78th Division concentrated its forces to conquer the unnamed heights in front and open up the connection with Tanaka Shinichi.
"Report! The commander, General Tanaka, called, the offensive order of the Shina Army, requesting to get in touch as soon as possible! ”
Shozo Kawabe 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 sides, and at present the division is trapped in the valley, the 55th Wing has been cut off from the division, and the 56th Wing and the 114th Wing have lost more than half. Tanaka Shinichi did not hide 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 Yoshijiro may have felt bad as well, and told Kawabe Shozo in a telegram that if he felt that it was difficult to advance eastward, he could first exit the Great Wall and join up with Naosaburo Okabe, with the primary purpose of keeping the troops.
This telegram made Kawabe Shozo furious, and he obviously felt that this was Umezu Mijiro thinking of shirking his responsibilities and heading north through the Yellow Cliff Pass to exit the Great Wall? Why did you go earlier? Now that the 18th Division is surrounded, if you want to leave, you must rescue the 18th Division and leave again. 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 ** squadron 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 114th Division to strengthen the troops.
Of course, the road to the north is not nothing, passing through Qingshan Ridge Jiugou Village to the north, crossing the southern foot of Yanshan, out of the Great Wall; However, this route is more difficult than Huangya Pass, after leaving Jiugou Village, there are almost no roads, only the roads of hunters and medicine pickers, the roads are rugged and difficult, and they have been a paradise for bandits since ancient times.
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 now, 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 soared upward, 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!" Shells fell into the positions, smoke rose, and the Chinese soldiers on the positions took refuge in the trenches. Kawabe Shozo has studied this position several times, in fact, the tactical ability of the squadron commander is not very clever, he has seen several weaknesses, but the problem is that the squadron's firepower is very strong, and there is also the support of the Chinese artillery on Longquan Mountain, and every time it is about to be defeated, the shells will whistle.
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 Shozo and Morinai pinned their hopes on the quality of the soldiers.
"Boom!" The shells of the squadron exploded on the line of attack, the soldiers increased their speed and began to run, and after a hundred meters, the squadron on the hill began to shoot.
Recalling seven years ago, it is completely possible to judge how prepared the squadron is to shoot at the distance of the first squadron, and if they shoot at about 200 meters, the equipment must be good, and if they shoot within 100 meters, the equipment must be poor. 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 squadron opened fire, the Japanese began to crawl forward, and some soldiers jumped into the crater, set up machine guns and fired at the hills. Hebian sighed again, the current imperial army is far from catching up with seven years ago, seven years ago, at the beginning of the war, almost all the imperial soldiers were sharpshooters, this kind of holding shooting, the squadron can often only hold on for a while before it will be shaken, but now, in this short minute, Hebian Zhengsan found that seven or eight imperial soldiers have fallen, while the Chinese soldiers in the trenches have only fallen five or six.
Hebian Zhengsan has already calculated that the strength of the ** squadron 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 squadron opened fire, and the river side found that the mortar of the squadron was very accurate, 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 towards the hill, but before he could take two steps, he was beaten into a sieve by the oncoming rain of bullets. Several brave soldiers jumped up and shouted hooray to charge forward, but their fate remained unchanged and they fell to the ground in an instant.
"This won't work!" Kawabe Shozo deeply regrets that if he goes on like this, even if he can get through the connection with Tanaka Shinichi, it is difficult to say whether he can break through the defense of the squadron in Taiping Temple in the end, but if it is not, what can it do?
This time the attack retreated again, Kawabe Shozo did not order another attack, he had to come up with a way to destroy the defense of the squadron, the first thing was to break their firepower network, and it had to be fast, Kawabe knew that the squadron was coming from the south, and he didn't have much time.
Kawabe Shozo is thinking hard about how to get rid of the fate of destruction.
However, the army was cut into two and divided into three parts, facing an extremely difficult situation.
The attack of the Gubeikou team did not hit the Gubeikou at all, the first team held the South Tianmen, and the fifth division and the 36th division led by Yasuken Nakajima to occupy Longkouyu, and the troops commanded by Kangjian Nakajima launched more than ten strong attacks, and they were about to rush to Longkouyu, and a unit of the Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared from outside the Great Wall, and with the support of the Eighth Route Army, the first team held the position of the shaky one. Soon after, several bandit troops rushed to Longkouyu, and at the same time, the squadron that occupied Gubeikou also sent a regiment to reinforce Longkouyu, and Longkouyu's position was stabilized again.
The attack on Nantianmen and Longkouyu failed, but the squadron behind strengthened the attack, the 51st Group Army continued to attack, and the 23rd Group Army crossed the Xiling Ridge and inserted into the back road of the master's tun.
The squadron followed the pursuit, the 51st Group Army killed to the Northwest Ridge, 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 migrated to 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, 6th Division, and 13th Division led by Saeki Fumiro, to the north were the 149th and 19th Divisions led by Sue Seizo and Tani Toshio, who 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 Yasuken Nakajima.
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. @。
