The 26th Division was the first batch of three-unit divisions of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness was still very strong compared to those garrison divisions formed later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although it is not comparable to the 5th and 10th Divisions, it is not comparable to ordinary Japanese troops.

However, it is a pity that this division was heavily damaged by Ma Zheng's division in 38 years, and this division lost more than half of its soldiers in several Datong battles.

Although the 26th Division has basically regained its combat effectiveness after more than a year of rest, it still cannot be compared with a year ago.

Don't look at the fact that the 26th Division now has more than 17,000 people, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it may not be stronger than the 10,000 people a year ago. Moreover, now the 26th Division is responsible for the defense of the Baoding area, and this time only more than 15,000 people were brought to Xuanhua, except for the more than 7,000 people taken by Kato Daisa, in fact, there were only more than 8,000 people left in Xuanhua City, and the reinforcements were still hundreds of kilometers away.

Eight thousand people are reluctant to defend Xuanhua, let alone go north to reinforce Kato's department, you must know that Xuanhua is the gateway to Beiping, and there must be no mistakes.

But Kato's department can't help it, otherwise the Kato family won't let them go, even His Majesty the Emperor will have a bad impression of himself, so for a while Abe Norihide fell into deep thought.

It is necessary to be saved, but who to send and how many are appropriate?

Abe Norihide considered that fewer people were adding color to Tsuchihachi, and perhaps the people of Shina would like him to send troops to rescue Kato's department now. However, if there are more troops to come to the rescue, it is necessary to reduce the defense force of Xuanhua City. Moreover, Abe Norihide has a certain understanding of the composition of the Eighth Route Army, and knows that Ma Zheng's department has an unknown number of mechanized troops but extremely strong combat effectiveness.

The Japanese army was very concerned about Ma Zheng's mechanized troops, and on more than one occasion ventured to send agents and spies to the Suicha Military Region to steal intelligence, and even sent a large number of air forces to bomb them, but it was a pity that under Ma Zheng's perfect air defense early warning mechanism, the Japanese army's entire two bomber wings could only return to Baoding Airport in disgrace after killing seven bombers from the air defense positions of the Eighth Route Army.

In the past few times, the mechanized troops under Ma Zheng's department frequently attacked, and the Japanese Imperial Army lost its armor and abandoned its armor. Therefore, this unit was extremely valued by the North China Front Command, and Tada Jun, the commander of the Front Army, also specially instructed all divisions and regiments to strictly guard against the sneak attack of the mechanized troops under Ma Zheng's headquarters.

In this way, Abe Norihide is powerless for the surrounded Kato Daisa, from the bottom of his heart, Abe Norihide still wants to rescue Kato's department, after all, he is the division commander of the 26th Division, and the main force of the division was annihilated by the Dirt Eight Road, and the most humiliating thing is still him, the division commander. At that time, the punishment of the base camp will definitely be indispensable, and at the same time, it will also have to face the difficulties of the Kato family.

However, the safety of Xuanhua City is related to the life and death of this battle, and this is the springboard for Ma Zheng's troops to march into Beiping, and it is the only way to go. If there is nothing to do in Beiping, then the whole North China will be a lot more stable, otherwise the whole North China will really be in chaos.

Six or seven thousand troops were surrounded and were about to be destroyed, and such a big matter could not be hidden, so it was better to seek help now than to be liquidated in the future.

This is the second time in the nearly 30 years that Abe Norihide has sought combat guidance from his superiors, and both times he was forced by the same opponent, and even Abe Norihide himself felt a little blushing.

However, Lieutenant General Abe knows what kind of person Tada Jun is, and he knows very well that there is no comparison between his level and Tada Junda, and he can't hide those small calculations from Tada Jun. Therefore, Lieutenant General Norihide Abe did not hide the telegram sent to Beiping, and clearly reported the course of this battle.

Lieutenant General Tada was shocked when he received a telegram from Norihide Abe asking for help, and he didn't bother to consult with the other officers. Immediately ordered Abe Norihide to rescue Major General Kato's headquarters at all costs, and to rescue as many as he could, but it was necessary to keep the Kato Wing, and the reinforcements would soon arrive in Zhangjiakou.

Norihide Abe knows very well what Lieutenant General Tada means, and keeping the number of Kato United means saving Kato Daisa's life. In the battle sequence of the Japanese army, it was clearly stipulated that once the commander was killed, captured, or transferred, the number of the department should be changed accordingly.

Although Lieutenant General Norihide Abe did not know the reinforcements from General Tada, since the old leader had ordered it, he, the commander of the lieutenant general's division, did not need to bear much responsibility. Lieutenant General Norihide Abe immediately gathered the remaining 8,000 troops in the city and rushed to the Daisui Spring.

In Xuanhua City, Abe Norihide only left an infantry brigade that was not satisfied, but fortunately, Abe Norihide had already issued an order for the Japanese troops in the outlying strongholds of Xuanhua to immediately move closer to Xuanhua.

Due to the urgency of time, Abe Guixiu couldn't take care of it so much, he handed over the city defense of Xuanhua City to the chief of staff to take care of, and he personally led the reinforcements straight towards Dashuiquan Village.

At this time, Beiping City was also in chaos, and the 15th Mixed Brigade that had just arrived in Beiping received an order to rush to Xuanhua City overnight before getting off the bus, and the 6th Field Artillery Brigade, which was still on the road, also received an order from the Front Army Headquarters, demanding that they must arrive in Beiping within one day, otherwise they would be severely punished.

The Xuanhua front line is a pot of porridge, but the southern Hebei region is peaceful. Two months ago, Shi Yousan finally got his wish after paying hundreds of thousands of oceans and several national treasure-level antique cultural relics, and at the same time took over the six county towns around Handan. And he also sent a telegram to the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government in Chongqing, which was far away from Chongqing.

With the rigor and efficiency of the national government's intelligence system, Shi Yousan's little trick could not be concealed from Dai Li. But both Lao Chiang and He Yingqin hoped for such an inspiring victory to save the increasingly decadent Nationalist Government and the increasingly erosive frontal battlefield, so an unprecedented victory under the leadership of Chongqing soon came out.

And Shi Yousan also got his wish and was rewarded by the Nationalist Government, but because Shi Yousan was a little unclear with the Eighth Route Army this time, he was suspicious of Lao Jiang. The reward came down, but Shi Yousan was not happy at all, and the commendation given to Shi Yousan by the Ministry of Military Affairs was indeed very rich: "Promote Shi Yousan to the director of the Southern Hebei Regional Administrative Office of the National Government and the director of the Luxi Administrative Office, commanding all the anti-Japanese armed forces in the jurisdiction, and at the same time 3,000 new guns and 1 million rounds of ammunition were transferred from the Second War Zone, and the officers and soldiers of the department were promoted to the first rank, and the Ministry of Military Affairs notified the whole army to praise, and awarded Shi Yousan a third-class Baoding Medal." ”

The rewards are a lot, but in fact, Shi Yousan doesn't get many actual benefits. Originally, Shi Yousan was the director of the Southern Hebei Administrative Office, the deputy commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army and the commander of the 69th Army, and the so-called director of the Luxi Administrative Office is simply a joke.

Besides, the strongest force in southern Hebei and Luxi now is not the Japanese, but the Eighth Route Army. If you want to talk about the Eighth Route Army two years ago, Shi Yousan really looks down on it. But now I dare not face it. The fierce generals under the command of the Eighth Route Army are like clouds, not to mention veterans such as Liu, Peng, Lin, He, etc., even Ma Zheng, who has always been unknown, and Lu Zhengcao, who turned from the Northeast Army, are also rare first-class generals.

Chairman Jiang dared to fight to the death with the little devil, that was Jiang Guangtou was the emperor of China, and the 4 million army of the Central Army was the guardian of the family. They occupy the largest and most abundant resources in the country, and they can continuously gather troops and raise ammunition and food through several provinces in the rear.

The Eighth Route Army dared to fight to the death with the little devils, because the fierce generals were like clouds, and there were many generals, not only the powerful Suicha Military Region, but also the 120th, 115th, and 129th divisions and other troops as a support.

And what does he Shi Yousan have? Just a miscellaneous army with a total of more than 20,000 two divisions and four brigades, more than 10,000 old-fashioned rifles and a few old-fashioned artillery pieces from more than 10 years ago, not to mention that it cannot afford to compete with the Japanese army's field divisions, even the rear garrison divisions with the worst combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. Therefore, since entering Handan, Shi Yousan has sought a balance between China and Japan. (To be continued.) )
