Chapter 160 The opening of the pun
Shen Shaofan is facing the biggest crisis in history, that is, the two huge enemies and a huge army in front of him, Beiguan he has to resist the god of war called "Yamato no Xiong" by Japan - Takeda Dongchen Hatofu, and in Mianyang Pass he has to face the "soul of Yamato" war spirit - Beizhong Anan, how will he deal with these two huge enemies, what will be the fate of the national youth division?
Shen Shaofan has moved his division headquarters to Beiguan, he stood quietly at the door of the headquarters alone, watching the busy soldiers reinforcing the fortifications and carrying ammunition, at this moment the heart is extremely anxious, the cigarette in his hand is about to burn out, wisps of white smoke float out of his fingertips, to be honest, he really has no confidence in his heart, at this time he is like a dust controlled by fate, he doesn't know if the troops of Blocking Tianfang and Sun Zhiyu can rush to Mianyang Pass on time, and he doesn't know if the strength of the 5 regiments can come to Beiguan in time, For the battle that was about to take place in front of him, Shen Shaofan couldn't think of any trick to achieve victory, and the only way for them to win was to use the two dangerous passes of Beiguan and Mianyang Pass, which were also their only two dangerous passes, to rush to resist the devils, consume them, and drag them down, and other troops surrounded them. ยค Top,
Beiguan and Mianyang Pass are in a state of backing, Mianyang Pass in the west guards the main passage into central Sichuan, and Beiguan in the east just strangles the Japanese army entering from the county Chuling, and there is an ancient city named Peng'an in the middle of the two passes. Mianyang Pass is not close to Mianyang, but in Peng'an; Yingshan; Shen Shaofan learned from the telegram that the Japanese army in Anan had occupied Qu County, and the next step was to enter Peng'an, seize Yingshan, and make complete preparations for forcibly crossing the Jialing River, and the only barrier to capture Peng'an was Mianyang Pass. Mianyang Pass is built in the mountains, erected in the mountains along the ancient road, to the present, there are hundreds of years of history, the original Mianyang Pass is already dilapidated, the earth wall and stone make the appearance of this Xiongfeng Chuan Pass a hundred years ago no longer exists, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chiang Kai-shek decided to move the capital to Chongqing, after which it has become a military pass, a large number of reinforced concrete, in just half a year, a modern cement fortress and a cement trench full of ravines have been built.
When Chen Chen arrived with the logistics column, since the garrison here was less than the strength of a miscellaneous battalion, there was no firepower in many places, and there were no particles left in the combat reserve warehouse, and the ammunition left was pitiful.
At that time, Chen Chen was already the deputy chief of staff of the major general, although he had no military experience, but the logistics of managing the National Youth Division was in good order. It is also a great achievement, and Shao Fan's request for credit many times can be regarded as the consent of the Central Governor's Department.
As soon as the major general arrived, the battalion commander of the miscellaneous army was hurriedly greeted, as if he had seen a savior, and the battalion commander who was waiting in front of Mianyang Pass and looked at the dusty convoy and the number of people who came all the way in the distance was dumbfounded, and the battalion commander knew that this was a non-combat unit of the National Youth Division, and the most combatant of them was only the 150 people in the rifle battalion, but looking at the Mauser fast gun in his hand, those miscellaneous troops were dumbfounded.
When the battalion commander saw Major General Chen Chen get out of the jeep, he hurriedly ran over and saluted the not very standardized military salute and said, "Report to the commander." Ma Banger, commander of the Mianyang Village Security Battalion, reports to you. โ
"Security camp?" Chen Chen couldn't believe his ears and asked again.
Ma Bang Er said: "Back to the chief's words." The original regular army was withdrawn more than a month ago, and the troops of an engineer regiment and a division were withdrawn here for some reason. If it weren't for those of us who dragged our families, we wouldn't want to stay here. โ
At this time, a staff officer leaned into Chen Chen's ear and said: "Originally, this was the station of the 166th Division, and it was transferred to Deyang later." The Commander's Department believed that it was impossible for the Japanese army to launch an attack on Irikawa from here. โ
Chen Chen was amused when he heard it, but he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, because at that time, Shen Shaofan didn't get the news that three divisions were attacking Mianyang Pass.
Chen Chen looked at Ma Bang in front of him and waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" Go and see the fortifications! There was a hint of displeasure in his tone, he didn't give up for anything else but for such a big pass fortress, and it was ridiculous to build and build in vain.
Ma Banger and his miscellaneous army had this kind of thought, and hurriedly took off their military uniforms and left, Chen Chen did not stop him, he thought that it was a good thing for such a unit to be the first to be young, Chen Chen took over the Mianyang Pass is Shen Shaofan knew that Beizhong Anan was going to attack Mianyang Pass two days ago, so they had enough time to build fire and artillery positions on the original fortifications, and the troops did not have a moment to rest and put into the construction of fortifications and preparation work.
Time back to the Pengjiagang position, Liu Yufeng and Zheng Hu and Mozak's cavalry battalion began to launch a general attack, all the mortars with a whistling shells smashed all the shells on the opposite side of the Shanzhu position, this roar woke up the half-asleep Shangsugi Zhu only to know that the people launched a charge towards their position, and it seemed that the general attack was all over the mountains and the sound of killing made the Shangsugi Zhu also blinded for a while, and he hesitated for five minutes before ordering the troops to counterattack, It was in these five minutes that his army was defeated by the National Youth Division and was forced to withdraw to Gulin Road. When he and Beichangyong walked up to the Pengjiagang position together, they had already realized that the position here had lost its strategic value, and their goal was the last line of defense "Beiguan" in the county Chuling, and soon their two divisions received the order to march to Guicheng Mountain at the same time, and the troops immediately advanced towards Guicheng Mountain after resting for a long time, and at the same time, Kawagishi Bunzaburo also received an order for the troops to advance to Guicheng Mountain.
The three troops entered Guicheng Mountain, which had no resistance at almost the same time, and in addition to a large number of mines and collapsed pillboxes, the most was a trench filled with water, and the three division commanders also understood that because their goal was Beiguan, and Guicheng Mountain was just a temporary assembly of their five divisions!
The most dazzling division of the five divisions is naturally the Takeda Division under the personal command of Takeda Tochen Hatofu, which is an armored mixed division that is very strong in battle, and has beaten the British army in the Yunnan-Burma battlefield. The first tank was equipped with a tweeter and played the Japanese military song, and Takeda Tochen Hatoo sat in a jeep and came to Kawagishi Fumizaburo proudly; Uesugi Zhu and Bei Changyong looked down in front of them, saluted them, and said, "You are fortunate. โ
The three of them stood up at the same time and said, "Serve the emperor." โ
Takeda Tochen Hatoo looked around badly and said, "Very good! You all know that our next target is there, so we don't deliberately set it up. Then let's just take a walk! With a wave of his hand, he jumped off the jeep handle, and the three of them lowered their heads and followed him, and Takeda Tochen Hatoo was naturally Tochen Sasaki next to him.
The dove pointed to the mountains in front of him and said, "Do you have any good suggestions for attacking Beiguan?" โ
Uesugi Zhu said: "Actually, our goal is not Beiguan but Mianyang Pass, I think we can use the main force to make a gap in the Beiguan position of the Chinese people and join forces with the troops of General Beizhong Anan to attack Mianyang Pass." โ
Kawagishi Bunzaburo said negatively on the side: "I don't think this works!" In this way, we are on our backs, and we are easily surrounded by the Chinese people. โ
Dongchen Sasaki bowed his head and said, "I think so." โ
Bei Changyong surprisingly helped Uesugi Zhu at this time: "These two places are estimated to be the troops of the National Youth Division, and they will not be able to surround us if they are separated from the forces of the two fronts." โ
Kawagishi Bunzaburo said: "Don't forget that there are still hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops on the entire Han River position that have not moved!" These armies are enough to encircle us. โ
Takeda Tochen Hatofu listened with great satisfaction and said, "Not bad! Our army also suffered losses in Changsha from the so-called Heavenly Furnace method of warfare. What do you suggest for that? โ
Kawagishi Fumisaburo said: "Beiguan is like a wall, as long as we make a few big holes in this wall, we will push this wall hard." โ
The dove listened and said, "This is indeed a good idea. But we had to find the right place to make a hole in the wall. โ
The newest command center of the Beiguan National Youth Division.
At this time, Beiguan had gathered all the troops, the commanders of the 5 regiments and Bai Long, Shen Shaofan; Zhang Wenshan and others are having a meeting about how to defend Beiguan.
Shen Shaofan pointed to the sand table with a whip and said, "Chi Yao in Beiguan; Ghost Pass; Longwei Mountain is the three main positions that hold Beiguan, and I think the devils will definitely choose these three places for the main attack. Then he asked Jiang Nan: "How is your 5th regiment deployed here?" โ
Jiang Nandao: "I am in Chi Yao; Ghost Pass; Longwei Mountain each put a battalion of troops, the 4th battalion was divided into three parts in these three positions, and the 5th battalion was used as a reserve on the main position in Beiguan. โ
Shen Shaofan said: "It coincides with my thoughts." โ
In fact, Beiguan is like Kawagishi Bunzaburo's like a huge wall, and this wall is the product of ghostly work. It was firmly stuck in the middle of the Yunlong Valley, and there were three prominent hills in front of it, which were the Chi Yao in Shen Shaofan's mouth; Ghost Pass and Longwei Mountain, these three slopes are connected with Beiguan together, belonging to the remnants of the Sichuan Mountain Range, the slope is not very steep, but it seems to be extremely powerful, and once the three slopes are occupied, the Japanese army will naturally be able to enter Beiguan, so these three places are the three big holes of the devil.
Shen Shaofan said: "Jiangnan, your troops should not be withdrawn, and they will be divided into three sections to support 1; regiments, while the 4 regiment and the guard battalion; Special operations battalions were stationed on the main positions.
Shen Shaofan looked at it and said: "Mianyang Pass is behind us, once it is breached, the Japanese tanks will be invincible." So we have to defend the North Pass. "Yes! Swear to stick to Beiguan. โ
Shen Shaofan looked at everyone and said, "Brothers! This is the biggest challenge in the history of our National Youth Division, and we are facing the strength of a full eight divisions. The loss of Beiguan will bring destruction to our national youth division, and we must drag the devils here to the death to make the most adequate preparations for the Heavenly Furnace tactics of the large army. Throwing the whip in his hand onto the sand table, his eyes slowly pushed it flat to the sand table, and he saw that around their positions in Beiguan and Mianyang Pass, more than a dozen White Sun Flags of the Youth League had begun to form a ring.
