[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 926: Sending troops to Baoding (ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

"Baga, you dare to negotiate conditions with the imperial army, your conscience is greatly damaged!" As soon as Qi Xieyuan's words fell, the commander of the 10th Division, Ueda Zhiyi, couldn't help jumping up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Itagaki looked at Qi Xieyuan, who was pale, and then signaled Ueda to be calm for a while, and said: "Qi Sang, you understand that the premise of the existence of the security army is to fight for the imperial army, for the sake of the Great Japanese Empire, for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia, even if you lose a lot, you have greatly disappointed the Great Japanese Empire." ”

"Hay! Taijun is angry, you can understand what you mean, but Taijun, you must also know that the security army is only 13 groups of more than 50,000 people in name, and the troop establishment of the national government is only three or five infantry divisions. Therefore, the family foundation of the security army is too thin, and it can't withstand your toss like this. Qi Xieyuan said with a bitter face.

This Qi Xieyuan was originally a direct warlord, and served as the chief of staff of the sixth town of the Beiyang Army, the commander of the sixth division and the guard of Jiangning Town, the overseer of Jiangsu, and the patrol envoy of Suzhou, Anhui and Jiangxi, etc., and he can be regarded as a veteran warlord.

Along the way, Qi Xieyuan didn't learn anything else, but he had a clear understanding of the importance of military power, so the Japanese army spoiled his troops like this or tossed his family, even if Qi Xieyuan knew that saying this would make the Japanese army even more dissatisfied with him, but he still said it very hard, after all, this is a matter related to his future and fate, and he can't afford to fight.

Itagaki Seishiro said solemnly: "Qi Sang, don't worry, the empire will not treat loyal ministers like you badly, and of course, it will not let those guys who are against the empire go unpunished. I see that it's time for your security army to expand, this is a plan for the expansion of the security army, and I ask Qi Sang to take a look at it first and then we will talk. ”

After speaking, Seishiro Itagaki handed Qi Xieyuan a paper document.

Qi Xieyuan opened it and looked at it, and was immediately attracted by the content of the document. This document was drawn up by the North China Front Command on the renaming of the North China Public Security Army as the "North China Pacification Army." In this document, the North China Front demanded that the North China Security Army be renamed the "North China Pacification Army" and that Qi Xieyuan should be the commander-in-chief of the Pacification Army.

I don't care about these Qi Xieyuan, after all, it's the same whether it's called the security army or the appeasement army, if you change the soup or not the medicine, aren't you still those people? Is it possible to change the name of the unit to the appeasement army to improve the combat effectiveness, and it will be possible to have one on top of two?

However, what attracted Qi Xieyuan was the establishment of the North China Appeasement Army, which, according to the documents of the North China Front, was expanded on a large scale after the renaming of the North China Security Army.

The newly established North China Pacification Army consists of 15 infantry divisions and 20 infantry groups, with a total of 160,000 men in 50 infantry groups (brigades), which is 1.5 times larger than all the units of the current North China Public Security Army.

After reading this document, Qi Xieyuan was overjoyed, and immediately said flatteringly: "With Taijun's support, our appeasement army will definitely become a powerful help to the imperial army, rest assured, Taijun, this will transfer the most elite infantry groups of the security army to Zhangjiakou to assist Taijun in the battle." ”

"Yo Xi!"

After Qi Xieyuan went out, Itagaki Seishiro asked Ueda Jiichi intently, "Ueda-kun, how are the engineering troops prepared, and when will the task be completed." ”

"Your Excellency Chief of General Staff, the engineer unit has now dug more than 300 meters of tunnel, which is less than 300 meters away from the Zhangjiakou city wall, but because the remaining 300 meters are too close to the position of the Chinese people, the engineering wing does not dare to make much noise, so as not to attract the attention of the Chinese people, so it is expected that it will take two more days to complete the task." Ueda said sharply.

"Yo Xi, the fortifications of the Chinese people are indeed very strong, and even if the missiles are concentrated directly, they may not be able to destroy those hateful pillboxes. However, the city wall of Zhangjiakou is an old city wall from hundreds of years ago, so it is extremely troublesome to rebuild, and the people of Jiazhi never imagined that we would attack from the underground, so there is a great possibility that our plan will succeed this time. Ueda-kun has worked hard, and I hope that you will supervise and supervise the engineering wing more and let them speed up the construction progress. Okamura Ninji said.

"Hay!"

Yang Chengwu and others never thought that what they annihilated was not the elite troops of the Japanese army, but the puppet army that was forced to go to the battlefield by the Japanese army, and the puppet army who was deliberately put on the Japanese military uniform.

Of course, Yang Chengwu and others didn't know that Itagaki Seishiro had dug three huge tunnels under the Zhangjiakou city wall, preparing to destroy the fortifications of the Zhangjiakou defenders by underground blasting.

The fortifications of Zhangjiakou are a whole, and once there is a hole in any part, then the entire fortification may be in danger of collapse.

However, this was only limited to the defense system of the city wall, but now the Japanese army was stumped by this last line of fortifications, and according to the judgment of the Japanese army's general staff, if the city fortifications of Zhangjiakou were stormed, the Japanese army would have to pay at least 30,000 or 40,000 casualties.

However, the current situation of the North China Front Army Okamura Ningji is very clear, not to mention the casualties of 30,000 or 40,000 troops, even 10,000 or 20,000 is enough to make the North China Front Army hurt and bone, so he has no choice but to use the method of blasting, which has high technical content but slow progress, to attack and attack.

For two days in a row, the Japanese army launched an attack on the fortifications of Zhangjiakou City in such a desperate manner, and the wave after wave of "devils" fell and rushed up again, which made the recruits defending the city feel frightened, and secretly said that the Japanese devils' will to fight was high.

However, soon the Eighth Route Army found something unusual, that is, the Japanese soldiers who charged were not as fearless as they showed to be dead, and when they charged, it seemed that there were Japanese commanders driving behind, and the Japanese soldiers fell in pieces as soon as the defenders' guns rang out, and when the troops retreated, the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who had "died" would disappear with them, and the defenders did not know how many "Japanese soldiers" they had shot in the past two days.

This discovery made Yang Chengwu puzzled, although the quality of the Japanese soldiers had dropped very much, but it was not so bad that it needed the help of the superintendent team even on the battlefield!

You must know that the Japanese army, whether it is strong or not, has a natural aversion to the Warlords, because they think it is an insult to them. Therefore, the methods of these Japanese troops are very incomprehensible, but they are a little similar to the fighting methods of the puppet army.

In order to verify his conjecture, Yang Chengwu risked his life to observe the city wall of Zhangjiakou for two hours, and finally affirmed that it was not the Japanese field troops or the second-line garrison troops that charged the city fortifications of Zhangjiakou these days, but the puppet army wearing Japanese military uniforms, and the elite troops of the Japanese army were hiding in the rear to rest.

This discovery made Yang Chengwu panic, and the Japanese army definitely had a big plan to let the puppet army attract the firepower of the defenders at any cost. You must know that there are more than 90,000 troops gathered on the front line of Zhangjiakou by the Japanese army, and there are also 40,000 troops stationed in Zhangjiakou by the Suicha Military Region, but some of these 40,000 defenders are second-line garrison units with weak combat effectiveness.

Yang Chengwu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent a telegram to Ma Zheng, telling Ma Zheng in detail about the situation on the front line in Zhangjiakou, and asking Ma Zheng to help him take a look, after all, this is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of troops, and he Yang Chengwu really didn't dare to make any decision easily.

After reading the telegram sent by Yang Chengwu, Ma Zheng was also surprised, it is not new for the Japanese army to use the puppet army as cannon fodder, and even the puppet army itself knows it.

But it is really the first time that such an undisguised large-scale drive of the puppet army to attack the extremely strong city fortifications garrisoned by the Eighth Route Army is really no different from sending it to death, is it really to let the puppet army consume the ammunition of Yang Chengwu's department?

Ma Zheng didn't believe that the famous and famous Itagaki Seishiro would be so stupid, the Japanese army's plan to do this was not small, but Ma Zheng and Yang Chengwu couldn't figure it out.

However, Ma Zheng was more cautious than Yang Chengwu, and the Chanan Military Subdivision had always been the main force in the battle between the Suicha Military Region and the Japanese army, and had many troops in the Pingjin area with brilliant results.

However, killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 themselves, and many major battles have also reduced the strength of the Chanan Military Subdivision itself a lot, if the Japanese army is allowed to encircle Zhangjiakou, even if it finally withdraws, I am afraid it will be useless. It just so happened that now Xu Hu's side was almost ready, and Ma Zheng immediately ordered Xu Hu and others to move south and send troops to Baoding. (To be continued.) )
