【Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King】Chapter 910: Huajialing Resistance Battle (I)

Ueda was silent for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Xiyuan-kun, according to the results of the sand table deduction of the staff officers of the division and regimental headquarters, the current situation in North China is very unfavorable to the imperial army, and the empire in North China is almost everywhere beaten. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info especially after the fall of Zhangjiakou, the troops stationed in the Pingjin area at least three divisions are at least three divisions, and if there is less, it is likely to be broken by Ma Zheng's subordinates, so this battle must be won by the imperial army! ”

"However, it is extremely difficult to achieve victory, the imperial army must pay huge sacrifices, and the result of the division and regimental headquarters staff deduced that the imperial army wants to take Zhangjiakou City at least 80,000 casualties, while the casualties of the Chinese people will not exceed 40,000, and the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us is one to two."

"Nani! 80,000? Lieutenant General Saigen Tsuichi was once again stunned by Lieutenant General Ueda to the Ich.

Ueda continued: "Yes, in order to operate the Zhangjiakou Fortress, the people of China mobilized more than 200,000 peasants to build fortifications half a year ago, using more than 100,000 tons of reinforced concrete. ”

"Nani, 100,000 tons, do the people of China have so much steel and cement? As far as I know, although the Japanese Ma Zheng Department has established its own industrial base, which can produce steel and cement, and even its own munitions, its scale is very small, especially the cement factory, according to the intelligence collected by those idiots in the special high-tech department, it seems that Ma Zheng's department has no ability to produce cement except for a dozen or so small cement factories in the Jining area, right? Saigen Zeichi asked.

Ueda Zhiichi said with a complicated mood: "This is all caused by those fools in the Mongolian army, and it is true that the people of China do not have the capacity to build such large-scale fortifications, but the fool of Harem Jun has left enough building materials for the people of China." ”

"At that time, the army of China came too fast, so the defenders of Zhangjiakou didn't even have time to escape, and they could still take care of those pots and jars, so all the materials that the imperial army hoarded on the front line, including a large number of building materials mobilized by the Mongolian army from the front army, also fell into the hands of the people, so the people who built the Zhangjiakou fortress did not invest even a single silver dollar except for dispatching hundreds of thousands of farmers, so I think that those stupid commanders of the Mongolian army should apologize to His Majesty the Emperor."

Ueda Zhiichi said a little hysterical, two days ago, when the spy of the special high-tech sent information about the Zhangjiakou area to Ueda Zhiyi's hands, Ueda Zhiichi almost went crazy, their 10th Division had to face a large city with complete fortifications this time, this is still an ordinary Chinese city, this is obviously a large military fortress.

But Ueda Keichi also knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and he had to bite the hard bones, even if he knocked out his teeth.

Turning back to the 33rd Division, after receiving the order of Lieutenant General Gampa Shigetaro, the 213th and 215th Infantry Wings of the 33rd Division and the three infantry brigades of the puppet army immediately assembled and drove towards Huajialing.

As soon as the Japanese army left the county seat of Weixian, Xu Hu on the front line received an urgent telegram from the reconnaissance unit. Xu Hu, who was urgently appointed by Ma Zheng as the commander-in-chief of the southern front, was overjoyed and immediately ordered the troops on the front line to get out of the way and let the Japanese army into the mountains.

After all the Japanese troops entered Huajialing, the Fifth Division was responsible for cutting off the rear route of the Japanese army, and it was necessary to leave these two infantry wings and three puppet infantry groups in Huajialing. The 4th Division, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Artillery Brigades received orders to rush forward immediately after the Japanese army was surrounded, and completely annihilate this Japanese puppet army.

However, after the order was issued to the front line, the whole of the Fifth Division was very dissatisfied, in the words of Xue Zhiqiang, the political commissar of the Fifth Division, in the early stage of this battle, our Fifth Division was contributing, and the casualties were indeed heavy.

In particular, the two brigade commanders of the Fifth Division called Xu Hu back at that time, hoping that they would be the main force in this annihilation battle, but what they attracted was Xu Hu's scolding. At the same time, Xu Hu called the two brigade commanders on the front line, asking them to prepare for a counterattack on Wei County, and even prepare for an attack on Baoding.

The two brigade commanders of the Ninth Brigade and the Tenth Brigade did not really want to fight for the main force of the attack, and it was expected to attract a scolding, although he had not worked with Xu Hu for a long time, but he knew the temper of this top boss.

All the cadres of the entire Suicha Military Region know that Ma Zheng is now the absolute boss of the entire Military Region, and the most effective thing to speak next is not the newly appointed Political Commissar Luo, but the commanders of several divisions who have always served as the absolute main force of the Military Region. Especially their young division commander, who came from Jiangxi with the commander, has a very iron relationship.

If you offend the commander, maybe the commander won't do anything to you, but if you offend Master Xu, your life will be sad. This time the newspaper was also a bit of a "last resort", not their original intention.

To be honest, although it was a bit surprising that the division headquarters did not let their two brigades serve as the main attackers, Wang and Li knew that Xu Hu must have deeper considerations.

But those ordinary soldiers don't necessarily know these things, so they have to bite the bullet to Xu Hu is "dissatisfaction", so that the soldiers won't be talking about anything, after all, even their two brigade commanders have been trained, which shows that they have done their best, and it is more appropriate for the black cauldron to let the division carry it.

However, Xu Hu's telegram still made the two brigade commanders on the front line very happy, compared to the annihilation of the infantry group of the two infantry wings of the Japanese army plus three puppet armies, the temptation to recover Wei County was obviously greater. Therefore, when the reply from the division headquarters was transmitted, the Ninth Brigade and the Tenth Brigade suddenly became vigorous and vigorous.

Akiyama Tadaichi originally thought that as soon as he left the city, he would be blocked by the Eighth Road, but he did not expect that it was already more than ten kilometers out of the city, and it was less than twenty kilometers away from Huajialing, but they were still not blocked.

But Akiyama Tadaichi did not let his guard down because he was not attacked, the more this happened, the more worried Akiyama Tadaichi became, he knew very well that Tsuchihachi was far from being as unbearable as those in the empire who had not been on the battlefield and had not seen the Shina army.

In good conscience, the momentum of the Chinese army is still very strong, but it is limited by China's national strength, so they lose to the empire in terms of weapons and equipment.

Akiyama Tadaichi ordered the search troops to put the cordon two kilometers away to prevent being ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, and encircling the point to send reinforcements was exactly the Eighth Route Army's forte, and it was also the essence of the guerrilla warfare they advocated, and Akiyama Tadaichi had to guard against it.

However, the closer to the battlefield, the more tense the atmosphere became, and less than five kilometers away from Huajialing Town, Akiyama Tadashiichi was blocked by the Tuba Road, although there were not many defenders on the opposite side, and there were only infantry battalions when they were full, but the combat effectiveness of this Chinese infantry battalion was much greater than Akiyama and others expected.

The firepower of this unit and the high quality of its soldiers frightened Akiyama and others, and in this way, the Chinese troops, who were only four or five hundred people, were equipped with 12 heavy machine guns and more than 20 light machine guns, and on average, every 15 soldiers could be divided into one light and heavy machine gun, and the firepower of this infantry battalion alone was comparable to one-third of the firepower of his 213 Infantry Wing.

However, no matter how strong the firepower of the enemy on the opposite side was, the wing commander of the 215th Wing of the Akiyama Synchronized Army, Jiro Fukuda, understood that there was only one choice in front of them, and that was to crush the enemy in front of them.

After a little deliberation, the two decided to storm the storm, for the division commander had just sent another urgent telegram saying that the battle on the Huajialing side was rapidly deteriorating, and that about 1,500 troops had surrounded the three unlucky infantry squadrons of the empire on a hill north of the town of Huajialing.

Moreover, the Dirt Eight Road was also equipped with a large number of mortars and grenadiers, and the only five heavy machine guns of the three infantry squadrons of the empire had been destroyed, and now only three light machine guns were barely usable.

Fortunately, the aviation regiment was about to arrive, and although the Tsuchihachi Road was well equipped, it did not have the weapons to deal with the Imperial Sky Samurai, so His Excellency the division commander ordered Akiyama's headquarters to break through the enemy in front of him at all costs, and rescue Suzuki and other infantry squadrons first.
