Chapter 120: Before and After the Battle Line

(I was kindly reminded by the book that the Korean nationality in China is different from the North and South Koreans, Koreans, etc., and the author's statement refers to the infantry wing composed of all Koreans in the Yue army that was slaughtered all the way from the Jinshanwei landing to Nanjing, as well as the more than 100,000 Koreans who committed suicide after the surrender of the book, which is different from the concept of Korean nationality in China, and the book friends in the northeast are relatively clear, and the concept of book friends in the south is more vague, so it is hereby corrected!) )

Okamura Ningji looked at Pu Mu in amazement, he knew that Pu Mu's surname would never exaggerate his losses at will, the 16th Division changed its clothes late, and the cotton tents and other materials were indeed insufficient, and the villages and towns that were destroyed and plundered by the troops passing by before were far cleaner than what the Central [***] team had to do to fortify and clear the wilderness, so the 16th Division had no way to plunder the materials.

Camping in such a cold and snowy area is indeed a great challenge for the troops, or in other words, the Imperial Army is not prepared to conduct large-scale operations in the bitter cold weather, which is entirely due to the evil consequences of the retreat before the [***]! After capturing Chengde, the first stage of the Rehe Campaign was completed, and then rested, and after the spring flowers bloomed in May, the materials were sufficient, and the attack along the Great Wall was continued.

As a result, more than 100,000 troops were stalemate under the city of Chengde! Obviously, the new first division of Zhang Xuewu, who was besieged in Chengde, was not only affected by the mind of the Beiping side, but also the additional troops sent by the political axe of Nanjing, China, especially the three divisions of the Central Army were all assembled on the Gubeikou line, and the Chinese [***] team was obviously mobilizing troops and materials to prepare for a decisive battle.

Okamura Ninji has clearly realized that Chengde has become a dead knot both strategically and tactically? Regardless of whether these division commanders and brigades admit it or not, the problem is still a problem after all, how to solve the Chengde problem? Okamura Ninji is not ready to be this seemingly infinite scenery of the first bird, the experience and lessons of history let Okamura Ninji know that the waves must shoot the truth that if you show alone on the sea!

Therefore, according to the habit of the army, Ping Yue scolded Shangguan for inaction, an old bastard, and delayed the development of the empire, but if there is a problem, theoretically it is still necessary to submit it to Shangguan to wipe his ass one by one, which will not say what kind of young radical he is, and he will take it for granted.

General Okamura sent a summary of his own suggestions to Commander Muto Nobuyoshi, who was almost stationed in Jinzhou, in the form of a telegram with the attitude and opinions of the division commanders, the casualties of the troops, the extraordinary combat attrition, and the stockpiling of materials and ammunition, plus his own suggestions!

Zhang Xuewu naturally didn't know how he felt after reading the Kwantung Army commander Muto Nobuyoshi who was divided into twenty extra-long telegrams, but the sudden fainting of Muto Nobuyoshi, who was pale, frightened the chief of staff Koiso Kuniaki, and in history, Muto Nobuyoshi did die in office due to physical reasons after being promoted to general, and Muto Nobuyoshi, who had been waiting for the Battle of Rehe to return to Tokyo as soon as he was promoted to general and baron, did not expect that Chengde would become a stubborn stone blocking the chariot of the Imperial Army?

The first thing Muto Nobuyoshi said when he woke up in the hospital that night was to prepare the train immediately, I was going to the front line of Rehe! It can be said that the battle of Chengde also beat the general of the Taisho era into a fire, Muto Nobuyoshi will finally understand why Honjo Shigeru has such a deep grudge against this Zhang Xuewu, feeling that this Zhang Xuewu is a person who is not famous in the Warring States period, but is extremely good at defending a member of the fierce general, Kodorazawa Akira, led 500 samurai to defend the black mountain fort, blocking the 80,000 army of Tokugawa Ieyasu for more than a month.

In the end, he ran out of ammunition and was captured, and in order to show his magnanimity, Tokugawa Ieyasu gave the honor of Akira Kodosawa's entire family of samurai, and they were all beheaded! Muto Nobuyoshi knows that this kind of good guard general Ping said that he must be very good at winning people's hearts and stimulating morale, and to deal with this kind of person, he must first unload his fighting spirit!

Muto Nobuyoshi immediately ordered a telegram to be drafted in his name, ordering the troops to immediately begin resuming the offensive until he arrived to stop the attack.

Your Excellency the Commander wants to go to the front in person? After Okamura Ninji received a telegram from Kuniaki Koiso, and circulated the telegram to all divisions, His Excellency Commander Muto Nobuyoshi was going to personally go to Rehe to supervise the battle? At eighteen o'clock that night, the attack that the army had stopped resumed again?

The rumbling cannon reflected half of the sky, and the city of Chengde under the night sky kept shaking in the violent explosions that rose and fell with each other, who would have thought that the small Chengde would become the forefront of China's defense against foreign humiliation in the thirties of the twentieth century, with blood and cold winter nights splashing in the turbulence! The Chinese soldiers braved the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army to run back to the position, and from time to time the position was broken through by a small group of Japanese troops, and the officers and soldiers of both sides desperately scuffled and tore together, the position was lost, and the counterattack was organized, and then lost, and then counterattacked!

The two sides abandoned the corpses, Zhang Xuewu personally led a battalion of reinforcements to the dangerous Laohugou position to supervise the battle, Zhang Tianpeng's artillery regiment kept correcting and firing Zhu Yuan, adjusting the artillery support.

Because of the artillery blockade of the Yue army, the surviving Chinese soldiers on the main position of Seng Guanfeng have completely run out of ammunition and food, a captain holding one eye in a bandage, carrying a 38-type rifle with a bayonet, touched the dozens of corpses of the soldiers on the position, looked around at the subordinates who were still alive, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "How is it? Are there any bullets? ”

A veteran pulled away the rifle discarded by the soldier with a loud noise, and said helplessly: "The little man who said the dog came up with five bullets in the chamber, I am afraid that we will capture it and return it to them!" ”

Company Commander Hao said that he came up again! With a hint of panic in the shouts of a soldier, Hao Guohua waved his big hand and said, "Brothers! When the bullets are gone, we still have stones, and we still have my own body, and we have bayonets, and we have our lives, and the time has come to die for martyrdom! It's to live and die with the position! ”

On a cold winter night, the ragged Chinese soldiers fought against the invaders armed to the teeth with their flesh and blood and primitive stones on a small mountain that could not be found on a map.

Huge stones continue to fall, the smashed officers and soldiers let out a creepy scream, this kind of scream from the depths of the soul makes the living officers and soldiers tremble, there are no bullets in the [***], it seems that even the stones are getting smaller and smaller, and the army seems to see the hope of victory!

When the corpses were thrown down, the unsuspecting officers and soldiers rolled down the steep hillside in a bloated manner, facing the Chinese soldiers' shining bayonets, the seriously wounded Chinese soldiers carried the soldiers down the cliff, in the dark, the last will of the Yue army finally collapsed, and the monk Guanfeng belonged to the middle [***], where is the gate of hell.

On the second-line position of the Laohugou position, the army had broken through the left and right flanks, and Zhan Yang, who was promoted to captain acting company commander, and Hu Dahai, a platoon leader, squatted in the same foxhole, and the two used three Mauser standard rifles to shoot alternately, and a lightly wounded man relied on the foxhole to load the two of them!

There are not many bullets! Hu Dahai's shout in the winter night seems to be very erratic, Zhanyang and Hu Dahai continue to shoot at the soldiers who rushed out of the darkness, in the fierce battle this small foxhole seems to have become a forgotten place, Zhanyang and Hu Dahai who continue to shoot were found, two soldiers rushed into the foxhole with bayonets, and suddenly the foxhole scuffled into a piece, in the fierce struggle Zhanyang's face was cut by the bayonet of the army A long gap, and then Zhanyang pulled out the Zhongzheng sword awarded at the time of graduation on his waist The two swords stabbed to death the Yue Jun who was entangled with him.

Later, after solving Hu Dahai's army, Zhanyang realized that the recruit who had been pressing bullets for himself and Hu Dahai had already fallen in a pool of blood, and the recruit only held the bayonet in his hand to death, which created an opportunity for Zhanyang to kill the army.

There's no ammunition left, let's fight with Xiao Yueben! The Chinese soldiers in the night burst out with the last bravery of their lives, and the living people still cherished the few bullets in the chamber of their guns and tried their best to resist the enemy.

At this moment, Shanghai Paramount Nightclub is holding a special fundraising party, a girl dressed in a sky blue cheongsam, curvy and enchanting, holding the microphone in her hand, twisting her seductive waist to follow the rhythm, singing in a sweet and greasy voice: "Big Shanghai!" Night Shanghai! You are a city that never sleeps! ”

The red wine shines brightly under the neon lights, the crisp collision between the cups and the glasses, and the unbridled laughter between men and women!
