In fact, as long as there are soldiers who have participated in the defense of Fuji County, there is one who can be calm, whether it is Chinese or Japanese. In that battle, General Wang Zhangming, the general of the Sichuan Army, led only half a division of troops, and blocked the attack of more than 30,000 people of the 10th Division, the 106th Division, and the 108th Division of the Japanese Army for 4 days and 4 nights, winning precious time for the victory of Taierzhuang.www.biquge.info
At that time, in addition to more than 10 times the strength of Wang Zhangming's troops, the Japanese army also had more than 70 cannons, 40 or 50 combat vehicles, 40 or 50 planes to cooperate with the operation, and 2 armored trains. And the defenders of Teng County only have blood and rudimentary weapons in their hands, and of course, they also have a steely will to fight.
The battle for the defense of Tengxian County lasted for four days and nights, totaling about 108 hours. In the past four days, more than 50,000 shells have fallen in Tengxian County. The troops defending the city suffered more than 5,000 casualties from the commander of the 122nd Division, Wang Mingzhang, and the 45th Army, which fought in the area of Jiehe and Longshan north of Tengxian, suffered 4,000 casualties from Chen Li, commander of the 127th Division. The defense of Tengxian County blocked the southward movement of tens of thousands of elite Japanese divisions with great sacrifices, won valuable time for the Fifth War Zone to prepare for the Battle of Taierzhuang, and made immortal contributions to the defense of Xuzhou and the consolidation of Wuhan.
The Chinese remembered that war, and the Japanese also remembered it, especially Shojiro Iida, who personally participated in that war. It was precisely because of the defeat in that battle that the Japanese Imperial Army suffered huge losses in Taierzhuang, and the military prestige of the Imperial Army was once again trampled on by the Chinese people. Unexpectedly, here, he encountered an equally tough Shina Sichuan army.
"Pass my order, the artillery immediately open fire, ten minutes of rapid salvo, the chariot wing is ready to charge, as soon as the cannon stops, immediately charge, and wipe out all the Chinese army below, not a single one will be left!" Shojiro Iida said loudly.
"Hay!"
......
"Boom Boom"
Artillery shells continued to fall on the positions of the 47th Army, and from time to time officers and men were blown up in the sky and rained blood, but no one retreated, let alone fled.
As soon as the artillery stopped, the Japanese tank units began to charge, and dozens of Type 95 light tanks rushed up with black smoke, and the turrets continued to fire artillery at the position of the 47th Army.
However, as soon as the Japanese tanks drove into the basin, a violent explosion sounded on the ground, and then the Japanese tanks were overturned to the ground. It turned out that the 47th Army had laid a large number of mines after withdrawing here, preparing to deal with the Japanese attack, but unexpectedly, these tanks came out on top.
"Boom, boom!"
Dense mines exploded under the crush of the chariots, and the Japanese army's iron king was like a big oil drum that had been detonated, and from time to time there were deafening explosions and sky-high fires.
The Japanese tanks suffered a huge blow, and only about 20 of the more than 40 tanks that rushed into the basin could move. What's more, due to the large number of tank wreckage, the road on the north side of the basin was directly blocked, and the remaining 20 or so combat vehicles of the Japanese army were in a dilemma and completely useless.
Just as the officers and men of the 47th Army were cheering for the heavy damage to the Japanese tank troops, they heard a low buzzing sound in the sky, and then more than a dozen Japanese fighters painted with blood-red battle flags suddenly rushed down from the clouds, and dropped a large number of aerial bombs on the positions of the 47th Army.
Heavy bombs exploded in the positions of the 47th Army, and the defenders' simple fortifications could not give the soldiers effective protection at all, and the corpses were blown away, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties.
While Japanese fighters bombed the positions of the 47th Army, Shojiro Iida commanded the ground troops to charge the positions of the 47th Army, and the battle entered a white-hot stage.
Although the Japanese army was both aircraft and tanks, and there were still a large number of large-caliber artillery on the ground, the officers and men of the 47th Army were not afraid, and used their flesh and blood to resist the impact of the Japanese army, and would rather fight to the last man than surrender.
In fact, Li Jiayu knew that not to mention the fierce fighting of the Japanese army now, but they had lost the best chance to annihilate the 47th Army. Now, as long as they hold on, Iida Shojiro's command is about to face a siege by two well-manned infantry armies of the Fourth Army, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
The battle of Liushuyan has entered a white heat, and the battle in the direction of Yuanping Town and Ningwu Pass is even more fierce. After receiving Ma Zheng's telegram, Huang Sicheng and the 120th Division worked desperately to transfer the most elite troops to the city pass and attack the Japanese troops defending the city.
The Japanese 80th Wing in the direction of Haraheimajin had already suffered casualties in the two days of fighting, and Ushijima had originally planned to let them hold out for another day before giving them reinforcements. However, after Huang Sicheng's troops adjusted their tactics, the already dilapidated Chengguan of Yuanping Town collapsed after three hours of heavy bombardment, although the gap was only less than 20 meters, but this still caused great pressure on the 80th Wing. In desperation, Lieutenant General Ushijima Minoru had no choice but to order the 79th Wing to urgently reinforce Harahei Town, and it was necessary to hold this important pass.
The battle in the direction of Ningwu Pass was equally fierce, under the attack of more than 40,000 troops of the 120th Division, the Japanese troops guarding the pass were also crumbling, and the most unbearable thing for the Japanese army was that the puppet army that was originally groveling slipped away after two days of bombardment, although the puppet army that fled was less than 2,000 people, but the blow to the morale of the troops defending the city was immeasurable.
In addition, the battle in the direction of Zhangjiakou also entered a stalemate stage, and under the fierce attack of more than 50,000 troops on the Japanese front, Yang Chengwu's troops fought very hard in Zhangjiakou. As many as 100,000 Chinese and Japanese people fought on the front line in Zhangjiakou, and the sun and moon changed color without light.
Although Yang Chengwu never asked the military region headquarters for assistance, Ma Zheng knew that the reorganized Second Division had reached the limit of support. If we don't solve the battles in several other battlefields as soon as possible and return to Zhangjiakou, I am afraid that Yang Chengwu's troops will be hit hard.
Therefore, Ma Zheng decided to use the final killer weapon, and after so many days of fighting, it is time to close the net, and it is not interesting to consume it any longer.
September 11th, evening, breeze, there is a moon.
It was quiet outside the city of Jingcheng County, only the searchlight of the Japanese military frame on the city closed flickered and flickered, piercing the night sky in the distance from time to time. A large fire burned at the city gates, and several puppet soldiers walked around the fire from time to time.
Jingcheng County is located in the west of Hebei Province, at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, adjacent to Luquan, Yuanshi County and Zanhuang County in the east and southeast, Yuxian, Pingding and Xiyang counties in Shanxi Province in the west and southwest, and Pingshan County in the north. It is not only an important place for soldiers to fight for all times, but also the only way to pass through the east-west traffic, and has the reputation of "Yanjin thoroughfare".
After the Japanese army occupied the county seat, it had stationed heavy troops here, but because the Japanese army transferred all the main forces of the 20th Division to the north, the number of defenders with the county town of Jingcheng was also sharply reduced.
Later, after the 108th Division took over the defense of several nearby counties, the defenders of Jingcheng County increased again. However, two days ago, the remnants of the 108th Division stationed in Jingcheng County received an order from the headquarters of the First Army to return to Taiyuan immediately, so the defenders here were reduced again, and so far a Japanese squadron and a battalion of the puppet army were stationed here.
However, according to the investigation of Tie Niu and others, the Japanese army here said that it was a squadron, but in fact there were only two infantry squads with less than 90 members.
And the infantry battalion of the puppet army is also an empty shell, one battalion is no more than two infantry companies that are not fully staffed, and the total strength is only more than 160 people. With the addition of more than 90 devil soldiers, the defenders of Jingcheng County are only more than 250 people.
However, Jingcheng County is a very important transit station on the Zhengtai Railway, so the Japanese army's railway station has placed a railway unit, although the number of people is only a squad of more than 50 people, but the weapons and equipment are much better than the ordinary field troops, and more importantly, there are two railway armored vehicles, when necessary, this railway force can also be converted into a field army, and it has to be guarded.
In addition, there is a huge mining area more than 30 kilometers away from the county seat of Jingcheng, which was originally the property of the Huang family, a wealthy man in North China, but after the Japanese came, they forcibly took it away and handed it over to Mitsui Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Co., Ltd., which are famous heavy industry groups in Japan. At present, there are more than 120 large and small mines in the whole mining area, tens of thousands of miners, and more than 500 Japanese garrisons and supervisors.
Although this is only a mining area, if there is any movement in the county, they can come to reinforcements at any time. Moreover, the mining area has to transport the plundered mineral resources to the county seat every once in a while, and transport them to all parts of North China through the station in Jingcheng County. It will even be shipped back to mainland Japan through the port of Tianjin. In addition, the Jingcheng mining area has to go to the county seat to purchase daily necessities almost every day, so for the sake of insurance, Ma Zheng decided to include this mining area as the target of the attack.
