[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 758: Erwei Beiping (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

Lieutenant General Tadajun's mood at this time can be imagined, he has now understood what Ma Zheng's idea is, Daixian's side is obviously a trap, although Ma Zheng is indeed in the city, but that cunning general wants this result. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the 50,000 troops in eastern Hebei, there were also 30,000 people in Daixian, and all the imperial troops in northern China, especially in Hebei and Pingjin, were concentrated in two places, which means that in addition to these two places, the Chinese troops could fight wherever they wanted. Today their target is Beiping, and perhaps Tianjin will be next, or even second-tier cities such as Cangzhou and Zhulu.

It was a conspiracy from beginning to end, a conspiracy against him and the entire North China Front. Now the enemy has come to the city, but he cannot withdraw, because if he withdraws, it means that the Japanese Empire has given up its rule over the whole of northern China, which is a great crime that will harm his wife and children, and even if he dies, he will be scolded by the entire people of the Japanese Empire.

However, he is not without a chance to turn the tables, this sweeping operation has become a big showdown between the imperial army and its army, and it is inevitable that the front army will suffer losses, and the news of the defeat on the Qian'an front has come back, and more than half of the casualties are there! Coupled with the loss of the five or six thousand cavalry, it can be said that they suffered heavy losses.

But as long as Ma Zheng, the scourge hated by the top of the empire, is taken over, and then Beiping City is kept, Tada Jun believes that the base camp will not do anything with him, at most, he will be transferred back to China to report on his work, and let him let others take over the mess.

Now reinforcements from Tianjin and other places are marching to Beiping overnight, and they can rush back in three days at most, which means that as long as the troops in Beiping City hold out for three days, then things will take a turn for the better.

However, these three days are not easy to defend, you must know that the other reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army can arrive in an instant, and there are only four or five thousand defenders in Beiping City, and the huge difference in strength can be seen.

What's more, Beiping City is not comparable to the county seat of Daixian, 3,000 people stationed in a county seat, even if you are attacked by hundreds of thousands of people, you can hold it for ten days and half a month, but it is not possible to garrison a big city like Beiping without 20,000 or 30,000 people, and 4,000 people can't even defend a few city gates in Beiping, let alone other places. Moreover, there are too many sections of the Beiping city wall, and once the troops are dispersed, they are likely to be broken by the Eighth Route Army.

Tada Jun was also forced by Yang Chengwu, at this time Tada Jun had no choice, so he had to order the troops to once again arm all the Japanese expatriates and ronins in Beiping City, and then send them to the city wall, Lieutenant General Tada Jun knew that if these people fought with the Eighth Route Army in the trenches, they would not be able to hold out for even a day, so he had to send these people directly to the city wall with firing ports and battlements to protect.

"Kasawara-kun, where is the Shina troops, and how are we organized?" Tada Jun asked in a stubborn voice.

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander, that the Chinese army has reached the city and is now storming the city walls. We have formed a provisional army of 10,000, including nearly 4,000 soldiers in the township, and Harada is organizing these temporary troops to block the attack of the Shina troops. According to your instructions, our troops have abandoned all the outlying positions, and all the troops have been withdrawn to the city. Yukio Kasawara replied immediately.

Tada Jun did not give any instructions to the chief of staff, but turned his head to Hirahara Eiichi on the side and asked: "Hirahara-kun, have you found out, what is the unit under the branch of Ma Zheng outside, who is the commander, I don't want to die and I don't know who killed me." ”

Pingyuan Rongyi still had the same expression, and said coldly: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, we have investigated clearly, it was the Second Division of the Zhina Suicha Military Region that attacked Beiping City, and their commander-in-chief was Yang Chengwu, who was famous in the Zhina Army, and the military rank should be a lieutenant general according to the corresponding standards of the Zhina National Government, but you know that the general military rank system is not implemented in the Eighth Route Army of China, so they do not recognize the military rank of the Zhina government." ”

"Yo Xi, Yang Chengwu! I've heard that he is a famous general in the Eighth Route Army! Lieutenant General Tada nodded and said.

Then Tada Jun asked again: "Pingyuan-kun, can your troops participate in the war now, how many people can be mobilized, I don't want to listen to any reason, you just need to say whether you can or can't, how many." ”

Lieutenant General Tada knew that the military system, which was independent of the entire front army, had its own military strength, and although he did not know how many people there were, he still hoped that he could mobilize some and strengthen the strength of the defending troops at this critical juncture.

Hiraharas Eiichi thought for a moment, and then said: "Yes, we have about 6,000 people directly under the special high-tech department, but there are less than 1,000 people planted in Beiping City, if you count our lower line and all the guards under our control, we can mobilize about 1,800 people to participate in the battle." ”

"Yo Xi, you go and gather your troops now, I'll take care of anything that happens."

"Hay!"

Let's not mention that Beiping City was turned into a pot of porridge, and the Japanese army even rushed to the city with civilians in the city, so let's say that the battle situation in Daixian County has also been reversed. First of all, the integrated 1st Division and 1st Brigade that returned to Dai County finally arrived at Yangmingbao Town and broke through the defense line of the Japanese blocking force.

Although Major General Fujita urgently sent troops to reinforce the blocking force and stabilized the defensive line, in fact the battle line had been pushed forward by a full 20 kilometers, and now the main force of the reorganized 1st Division and 1st Brigade was less than 10 kilometers away from Daixian.

At the same time, the reinforcements of Datong also converged with the troops of Shuoxian, and more than 13,000 people launched an attack on the Japanese army north of Daixian County, although they failed to break through the Japanese army's position for a while, but it caused great pressure on the Japanese army.

In addition, more than 20,000 people from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the Jizhong Military Region have also arrived at the lawn east of the Belt Line, which is less than 40 kilometers away from Dai County. At this time, Major General Fujita certainly regarded Ma Zheng as the eighth king in the urn, but he himself was not surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, and if he was not careful, the whole army might be annihilated, which caused great pressure on Major General Fujita.

Originally, according to Major General Fujita's tactics, he attacked with infantry first, and if the infantry could not attack, he would use artillery units, especially field heavy artillery, to open the way.

Rear Admiral Fujita's judgment proved to be correct, and although the defensive positions in Daixian were all built of concrete, they did not meet the design requirements due to the lack of reinforcement. However, Ma Zheng also knows that the objective conditions are like this, and there is no way but to do so. Therefore, under the blow of the Japanese army's field heavy artillery, the most important defensive position on the front line could no longer be held after only 8 hours, and after two days and two nights of uninterrupted onslaught, the Japanese army finally captured the south gate of Dai County.

However, the ensuing battle made Major General Fujita even more painful, and although they broke through the south gate, they still could not enter the city. Because the county seat of Daixian is an ancient city that has been repaired since ancient times, in addition to the city gate tower and the moat, there is also an urn city, and the Japanese army broke the city gate but still has to capture the urn city.

However, the Eighth Route Army arranged a large number of minefields near the south gate, and also arranged a large number of troops near Wengcheng, and for a time the battle line once again turned into a tug-of-war in Jiaozuo.

Major General Fujita is very clear about his current situation, whether the entire North China Front Army can get out of the predicament depends entirely on his progress, as long as he captures Daixian, it is best to capture Ma Zheng alive, and then use that cunning general to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army, otherwise, if the current situation continues, the losses of the front army will be great, and it may even lose control of the entire North China.

Yesterday, Commander Yoshio Shinozuka sent a telegram asking about the progress of the battle, and at the same time mentioned the situation of the First Army stationed in Shanxi by the way, in which Commander Yoshio Shinozuka told Major General Fujita very clearly that the war situation in the whole of North China, except for Shanxi, is still a little better, and under the stubborn resistance of other units of the First Army, the battle line is temporarily controlled in Jinnan, but the situation is not too ideal.
