[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 407: Recovering Zhangjiakou (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) )
Fujijiang Huipu never thought that the Eighth Route Army would break through multiple lines of defense one after another in such a short period of time, and the main force suddenly appeared under Zhangjiakou City. On the one hand, he always believed that the main direction of the Eighth Route Army was on the Western Front, after all, the strength shown by the Eighth Route Army from the beginning proved that its main force was on the Western Front, and it was advancing along the Huai'an, Guo Leizhuang Town, Anjiapu and Wanquan Line, so he didn't pay attention to the direction of Shangyi at all.
On the other hand, it was because he had confidence in the troops in Jiashihe Town, because the 33rd Wing of the 16th Division was stationed in Jiashihe Town, and this wing was also the least damaged wing of the 16th Division, and almost all of its combat effectiveness was preserved.
In addition, the Japanese army on the front line of Jiashihe has been operating for a long time and has built a large number of perfect fortifications, and there are no less than 50 reinforced concrete pillboxes outside the town alone.
However, Fujie Meguma apparently did not expect that Ma Zheng's troops would have a large number of armored forces, and in front of the tanks, the Japanese army's proud pillboxes and the light and heavy machine guns in the bunkers were simply a joke. In addition, Ma Zheng's department was also equipped with a lot of bazookas, and as a result, the Japanese army in Jiashihe was completely sad.
The outlying positions were broken through in less than ten minutes after the start of the war, and those pillboxes were either destroyed by tanks or used as targets for training by the bazooka soldiers of the Suicha Military Region.
Facts have proved that in bad weather, not only the Chinese defenders were not happy to defend the city, but even the Japanese army, which had always prided itself on being disciplined. When Xing Chao's troops arrived at the city of Zhangjiakou, they found that at such a tense moment, there was only one infantry squad and a puppet infantry company guarding the north gate of Zhangjiakou, adding up to less than two hundred people.
What's more, the walls were empty, except for the dogskin plaster banner dangling around constantly, and the faint glow of fire inside the city gates, indicating that this was not a dead city.
After learning of the situation, Xing Chao was overjoyed and immediately asked the special combat team to attack immediately, as long as he quietly touched the guards at the city gate and opened the city gate, the tank troops could take advantage of the situation to attack Zhangjiakou City. In this way, the army will not need to engage in a tragic siege battle, which will inevitably greatly reduce the casualties of the troops.
The special combat team did not disappoint Xing Chao, and soon the defenders of the north gate were cleared, and then the special combat team quickly opened the city gate, lowered the drawbridge before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, and also sent a signal.
After receiving the signal, Xing Chao immediately ordered the army to enter the city, and then went straight to the important military stronghold of the Japanese army in the city, while he led the special combat team and guard regiment to directly enter the command center garrison headquarters of the Zhangjiakou defenders.
At the same time that the North Gate was captured, Fujie Keipu received the news, and immediately ordered the 20th Wing in the city to immediately launch a counterattack to the North Gate, and be sure to drive out the Shina army that broke into the city.
At the same time, Meguma Fujie sensed the danger. Thinking of Hasunuma Pan, Naito Shoichi, Habata Shigeichi, Sakamoto Shiro, Takamori Koichi and Sawada Shigeru, who had just been killed by that Shina demon general before him, and thinking of the aggrieved death of these senior colleagues, Fujie Keipu couldn't help but shudder, and immediately ordered the troops in the city to block the Eighth Route Army outside the city at all costs, and at the same time asked for help from General Sugiyama Moto, who was in Beiping City, and asked for combat guidance.
However, it was too late, because they did not expect that Ma Zheng's troops would suddenly launch an attack today, so they carried out various activities to celebrate the glorious achievements of the Central China Front, and almost all the troops in the world did the same, and the so-called celebrations were nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun.
Therefore, before the battle began, the military camps in Zhangjiakou City were brightly lit, and from time to time there were bursts of helpless screams of women and unbridled laughter of Japanese soldiers. Eating the stolen beef and mutton, wantonly **** these flower girls, this is the celebration feast of the Japanese army, and it is a feast that only belongs to the Imperial Japanese Army.
It was precisely because of such a feast that a large part of the soldiers were already drunk before Ma Zheng's headquarters launched the attack, so that the first brigade of the 20th Wing, which went to the western front to reinforce Guo Leizhuang Town, only gathered less than 600 people after receiving the order, and 200 of them were unable to participate in the battle because they were drunk.
Likewise, the other troops in the city were the same, and many were drunk. After receiving the order from the division headquarters, the new commander of the 20th Wing, Takeda Daisa, was horrified to find that he could only gather more than 1,300 soldiers. Although the 20th Wing was badly damaged, even after replenishment, there were only about 2,600 people, nearly 1,200 fewer than at its peak. Just now, more than 600 people were transferred to the Western Front to block the attack of the Tuba Road, but there were at least about 2,000 people in the city, but I didn't expect that only more than 1,300 people were gathered in the end.
Although he was very angry, Takeda Osa could only secretly sigh that it was really time for that person to attack, and he had no choice but to command more than 1,300 people to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army at the north gate.
However, when they arrived at the battlefield, they found that the Eighth Route Army had already invaded the West Taiping Mountain, and the most terrifying thing was that the range of eyes was full of roaring Chinese chariots and black soldiers.
Takeda Dazuo knew that he knew the situation in the city, in addition to his 20th Wing, there was originally a cavalry wing, an engineer wing, and a baggage wing, plus two infantry brigades of the Imperial Cooperative Army that cooperated with the Imperial Army, adding up to more than 12,000 people.
But as the war on the Western Front became more and more urgent, the troops in the city were sent out one after another to reinforce the fighting on the Western Front, so only his dissatisfied infantry wing and the baggage wing were left in the city, and of course, the infantry brigade of the Imperial Association Army that had just been formed for less than three days, not counting how many soldiers and drunks were working women's bellies.
Relying on these people to fight against the prepared Shina people, Takeda Daisa trembled when he thought about it. Immediately commanded the troops to block the Eighth Route Army entering the city, and at the same time asked people to return to the division headquarters to inform His Excellency the division commander, asking him to leave the city immediately and go to the station of the third brigade of the 19th Wing of Xuanhua, in case he was served by the Zhina.
Fujie Keipu had also realized that something was wrong, and after receiving a warning from Takeda Daisa, he immediately left the division headquarters with a squadron of guards and went to the south of the city, preparing to leave the city through the south gate and go to Xuanhua.
However, their luck was really bad, and not long after they left the division headquarters, they encountered the special combat team that was directly attacking the division headquarters of the 16th Division, and an encounter broke out immediately.
As a result of the encounter, the Japanese infantry squadron was completely wiped out, and no one escaped the net, and all of them were suddenly attacked by special operations teams armed with AK47 assault rifles. However, what made Tie Niu distressed was that because the double action was very fast, the battle happened very suddenly, so the special combat team suffered a lot of losses in this encounter, with more than 30 casualties, of which 11 were killed.
Although the special combat personnel are not small and strong forces that cannot be defeated, since the establishment of the special combat team was supported, the casualties of the special combat personnel have indeed not been very large. Except for the sudden loss of a large number of special combat personnel when the Japanese surface ships were captured in the Battle of Wuhan, the loss of more than 30 people in such a battle is really rare.
Angry, Tie Niu ordered the special combat team members not to spare their hands, and immediately replenish the guns of all the Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground, anyway, the commander had already explained before the war that the 16th Division must not be equated with the ordinary Japanese army, and the principle of this division is to leave no prisoners, and kill one by one. But what Tie Niu didn't know was that among these people killed by them in the dark were more than one Japanese general, including Lieutenant General Fujie Keipu, the commander of the 16th Division.
Fujijiang Huipu and the staff of the division were inadvertently annihilated, and the Japanese puppet army inside and outside the city was suddenly leaderless, and became a plate of scattered sand, and was soon annihilated by annihilation, and the captured were captured, and when it was half past four in the morning, Zhangjiakou City was completely captured by Ma Zheng's department.
