The sudden appearance of the Japanese army really scared Zhang Dabing, and the appearance of this group of **** devils was too weird. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the commander had just called to say that a heavy army of devils was rushing to Dai County to prepare him for battle, Zhang Dabing did not expect that the Japanese army would come so quickly.

When the sound of gunfire outside the city reached the city, Zhang Dabing finally knew the seriousness of the matter. He immediately ordered the soldiers at the gate of the city to hold out for half an hour, and at the same time urgently sounded the alarm in the county seat of Daixian, and a large number of troops who heard the alarm began to receive orders to support the positions of the various gates of Daixian.

The Japanese army that attacked the county seat of Daixian was none other than the First Wing of the First Brigade of the Japanese Airborne Forces led by Inoue Daisa. Inoue Osa is full of confidence in the task of this surprise attack on Dai County, and uses an airborne wing to surprise attack a small Chinese county town guarded by only one infantry regiment and a guard regiment, and the other party is also known for its poor equipment and weak combat effectiveness.

However, facts have proved that Inoue Osa completely underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, or it can also be said that Inoue Osa seriously overestimated the combat effectiveness of his airborne wing.

In fact, although the Japanese airborne forces have a long history of formation, it was not until September 1941 that the Japanese airborne troops were able to begin air training after obtaining German airborne equipment. After the Japanese airborne troops became an army, due to the backwardness of military thinking and equipment, airborne training has always stayed on the basic training such as primitive tower jumping, and the focus of tactical and technical training for paratroopers is still on shooting and assassinating infantry, which is similar to that of ordinary land forces.

More importantly, the selection of the Japanese airborne troops was not selected according to the standards of the airborne troops, but the elite was selected from the infantry for training. Unfortunately, many of these "elite" soldiers, selected from the infantry, suffered from fear of heights and other psychological disorders, and although they barely managed to maintain their training under the high pressure of officers, they were repeatedly suspended from training due to frequent accidents.

While Germany has repeatedly used its airborne troops in the European theater to achieve positive results, the Japanese airborne troops have been plagued by frequent accidents and have never been able to talk about any combat effectiveness. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese paratroopers is okay on land, but once it is involved in the plane, it will be greatly reduced.

This time was no exception, a complete airborne wing of 3,200 people, and the North China Front used a total of 20 fighters and 100 transport planes to airdrop so many airborne troops to the hinterland of Daixian, and also deliberately chose a relatively open place as the airborne landing site.

However, because the airborne landing was carried out at night, the visibility was very weak, so the Japanese planes were lucky enough to make the wrong landing site, turning the landing site of a large flat open space into a mountainous area, although this mountainous area was less than five kilometers away from the original landing point, but the effect of the airborne landing was far away.

By the time Inoue arrived at the predetermined assembly point, a complete airborne wing had only arrived with more than 2,400 people, and the other 800 or so had not been able to arrive for a long time. According to the post-war investigation, this failed airborne landing caused a total of 325 direct deaths, 511 injuries and lost, which can be said to be an extremely rubbish airborne.

However, in any case, Inoue Osa still gathered more than 2,000 people. Although the performance of these airborne troops in their own work can only be described as unsatisfactory, but if they go to land, it is different, these people were originally drawn from the elite of the army, so these people are still very good at infantry combat, and their combat effectiveness is indeed extraordinary, which is also the source of Inoue's confidence.

The Japanese army came suddenly, so the defenders of Daixian were taken by surprise, and an infantry company guarding the first line of defense outside the east gate held out for less than ten minutes before having to abandon the first line of defense.

However, soon a company of reinforcements arrived at the city gate, and organized a second line of defense less than a hundred meters from the city gate, and at the same time, with Ma Zheng's consent, used part of the weapons and ammunition stored in the city, and even used a few artillery pieces captured during this time.

It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese paratrooper units on land is indeed very strong, although the whole army has no heavy weapons except for heavy machine guns, not even the most common mortars, and the ammunition is not sufficient. However, these Japanese soldiers had a wealth of combat experience and skills, and their will to fight was even more tenacious and they had a well-founded basis for advancing and retreating. Each charge put a lot of pressure on the defenders in the city, but after a period of panic, the defenders finally gained a foothold and began to organize their troops to fight back aggressively.

The defenders in the city are not vegetarians, and Zhang Dabing's department is also the elite of the first division, although the strength is only half a regiment and less than 1,500 people, but these are the elite of a hundred battles, otherwise Huang Sicheng would not dare to rely on them to guard his logistics base.

Although they were caught off guard by the Japanese at the beginning of the battle, they soon discovered the weakness of the Japanese paratroopers, and although the overall combat effectiveness of the entire Japanese paratrooper wing was not bad, due to the lack of heavy weapons, the firepower of the entire army was not strong. Zhang Dabing seized the opportunity and ordered the soldiers of the first regiment to take out all the light and heavy machine guns in the city and equip them to the troops, and at the same time transferred all the machine gunners of the Ma Zheng Guard Regiment to the city gate to participate in the battle.

With these measures, the firepower of the defenders suddenly increased greatly. For a time, Inoue Daisa's wing was forcibly pushed back by more than 200 meters, and the infantry squadron that had just charged only withdrew more than 20 people, and the rest were all left on the position.

Inoue Osa is well aware that as far as the situation is concerned, this sneak attack plan can be said to be a complete failure. Originally, both Inoue Daisa and Lieutenant General Tada Jun, who was far away in Beiping, had great confidence in this airborne raid, but the reality was cruel, although Ma Zheng did not expect the Japanese army to send paratroopers, but he thought about this problem when choosing the location of the former enemy headquarters, so he chose Daixian, which has a small urban area and is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition, Dai County is also the general logistics base of tens of thousands of troops in Yuanping Town, so a guard regiment was specially brought into Dai County, and coupled with the troops left behind in Dai County by the first division, it is still difficult for the Japanese army to take Dai County in a short time.

Inoue Osa is very clear about this military plan, although he knows that if he continues to fight, he will not have much success, and it seems that even if it continues, his wing will be more likely to suffer. In the battle of the battle just now, one-third of the combat strength of his wing was put in.

But despite this, Inoue Osa still ordered the troops to continue the attack, he knew that reinforcements would arrive soon, and now the two special combat teams and the large army of two infantry wings were rushing to Daixian, as long as they continued to maintain pressure here, it was likely that the reinforcements would be able to crush the earth-eight roads in the city as soon as they arrived.

And Mashiko Shigeo and others did not disappoint Inoue Daisa, and they quickly rushed to Dai County in less than half an hour, with more than 7,600 people, and nearly 10,000 Japanese devils poured out of Dai County, a small county with a big fart, and surrounded Dai County.

The news of the Japanese soldiers' siege of Dai County soon reached the ears of Huang Sicheng and others on the front line, and after receiving the news, Huang Sicheng and others were taken aback, and at the same time they were scared into a cold sweat. How did the Japanese army bypass them and reorganize the tens of thousands of troops in Dai County, of course, this is not the point. The point is that Huang Sicheng and others are very aware of the importance of Dai County, which is the logistics base of tens of thousands of troops in Yuanping Town, where food and ammunition are hoarded, and if Dai County is lost, tens of thousands of people on the front line will be in danger.

More importantly, Huang Sicheng and others also knew that the commander himself was in Dai County, and if Dai County was broken, the commander would be in danger. If something happens to the commander, he Huang Sicheng will become a sinner through the ages, after all, the little devil arrived in Dai County from under his nose.

Huang Sicheng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately called the headquarters in Dai County, but unfortunately the phone couldn't get through. Huang Sicheng knew that the county seat of Daixian County must have been attacked by the Japanese army, and the telephone line to the county seat was cut off by the Japanese army.

Since the phone can't get through, then the telegram will work, no matter how powerful the little devil is, he can't cut off the electronic signal! Therefore, Huang Sicheng immediately ordered the newspaper soldiers to send a telegram to the headquarters, asking about the battle situation in the city at this time. (To be continued.) )
