Chapter 250: We must delay

Zhangjiakou Seventh Theater Command (formerly the 37th Group Army Headquarters)

The people in the staff are very excited these days, why are they excited? Oh, Chahar's big boss, Chief Su, has been promoted, isn't it worth everyone's excitement?

In Huaxia, everyone knows that if his boss is promoted, it means that his official will also be promoted, as the saying goes, it is good to be promoted and make a fortune, follow Su Tong, the boss, not to mention making a fortune, it is still okay to mix it up, not to mention what is it to make a fortune compared to being promoted!

Recently, they have heard that Chahar is going to implement a series of welfare systems, so that everyone can rely on the elderly, this system is for the people of the four provinces under the jurisdiction of Chahar, but the funds required for this plan are too large, so they can only come step by step, but at least let the people see the dawn of hope.

In the office, Jiang Baili wore a pair of glasses, and the child slowly flipped through a few telegrams.

"Jianming, Peng Zeyuan, Huang Jie, and Zhang Lingfu have sent a joint telegram, and they are going to start attacking the west and south of the city where the Japanese army is entrenched tomorrow morning, preparing to further compress the space for the Japanese army's activities, what do you think?"

Jiang Baili spoke very slowly and carefully, as if he was afraid that Su Tong would not hear clearly.

Su Tong nodded: "I think it's okay, but I have to tell them that they can't be in a hurry, they must be steady step by step, and they must protect the Forbidden City." ”

A trace of emotion flashed on Jiang Baili's face: "They are going to fight again, and they are not allowed to use heavy weapons in order to protect the cultural relics inside, it is really difficult for them." ”

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it, the Forbidden City is a witness to history, and it must not be destroyed in our hands, otherwise you and I will be sinners of history." Su Tong's voice was categorical.

"Well, that's all there is to it. If only the Japanese could retreat on their own initiative. After the two lost their minds for a while, Jiang Baili said with emotion.

Su Tong smiled slyly after hearing this: "That's not necessarily, we are attacking on multiple fronts, why isn't it the case with Tada Jun?" With insufficient troops, he can only choose one or two main key defense objects between Chengde, Beiping and Tianjin, and judging from the fact that he still has a division to defend Tianjin, I am afraid that what he is really reluctant to do in his heart is Tianjin! So it's very difficult for us, but the Japanese are not like that, and if I expected, I'm afraid that Tada is already thinking about his black hat! ”

Jiang Baili looked at Su Tong with some emotion for a while when he heard this, and he was a little relieved and a little disappointed: "Jianming, you have grown up, and you have matured in thinking about things."

Tianjin North China Garrison Army Headquarters

The Japanese staff officers who came in and out of the headquarters today were quite nervous, because just this morning, the commander of the 2nd Division, Okamura Ninji, the commander of the 11th Division, Kazusuke Tsuno, and the commander of the 21st Division, Jiro Kameda, who were in charge of attacking Beiping, sent a telegram requesting the joint command to send reinforcements. Otherwise, they would not dare to guarantee that the task of occupying Beiping would be successfully completed.

After receiving the message asking for help, Tada Jun locked himself in the house and did not come out for a long time. At this moment, the eyes of the staff officers were all on the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura, and now he was the only one in the headquarters who could persuade Tada Jun.

Hyotaro Kimura sighed, he knew how heavy the pressure was on Tada, and he also knew how difficult Tada was. If it was an honor to serve as the commander of the North China garrison in the past, now it is a dose of bitterness, so bitter that you can't tell it.

The commander of the 37th Group Army, no, Su Tong, who has now been renamed the commander of the 7th Theater of Operations, can be described as aggressive about the offensive in North China. He not only surrounded Chengde, but also sent troops into Beiping and North China to seize the ancient capital, and the offensive was so aggressive that the division commanders below were all bitter, and they repeatedly sent requests for reinforcements, but for a while, where would the headquarters go to find reinforcements.

"Squeak!" The mén opened, and Tada Jun stood at the entrance of the mén. He glanced around at the staff officers lightly, and then turned to Kimura Hyotaro and said softly, "Kimura-kun, come in." ”

"Hey!"

Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura followed Tada into the office and stood aside.

"Kimura-kun, please be seated!" Tada Jun made it to the tatami side and poured tea for Hyotaro Kimura.

"Kimura-kun, I've been thinking about whether to give up Beiping this morning."

A gentle sentence hit Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro like a thunderbolt.

"Tada-kun, don't do it! The attack on Beiping is an order from the base camp, and we have no right to change it! Kimura jumped up: "What's more, if we give up Beiping, won't our previous efforts be in vain?" Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Empire have already paid with their lives for this city, and we can't let their blood be shed in vain! ”

Tada Jun also nodded when he saw Kimura Hyotaro's anxious look: "I've also thought about it, so I think the only way to keep the current results is to delay." We will do everything we can to delay the arrival of our reinforcements, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, then the initiative will be in our hands immediately. ”

Kimura Hyotaro frowned: "But how do you drag it out?" In the name of negotiations? But will the people of China be fooled? ”

"No, Kimura-kun, I've thought about it. Now if we want to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, we must take a defensive position in Beiping, we must not attack, we must build fortifications in the occupied area, and we must defend it to the death. In addition, we have to send people to send a kind signal to the Seventh War Zone, such as to negotiate peace with them to discuss a peaceful settlement of the Beiping issue, etc., as long as the reinforcements from the mainland can arrive, then everything will not be a problem. ”

"Yo Si! It's still Tada-kun who is smart, and he saw the crux of the problem at once. As long as reinforcements arrive, then nothing is a problem. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura nodded approvingly.

"On the issue of negotiation, I plan to entrust Kenji Tuféihara to personally go to Chahar, but there is still a lack of someone in Beiping to preside over the overall situation, I think I can only ask Kimura-kun to preside over it!"

"No problem, it is our duty as courtiers to share the emperor's worries, and I will leave immediately!" Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura nodded.

"Hey, Kimura-kun, then please!" Tada bowed deeply to Hyotaro Kimura.

Just when Tada Jun was racking his brains about how to keep Beiping, the Chahar army in Beiping launched a new round of attacks against the Japanese troops entrenched in the west and south of Beiping.

"Whoosh"

A mortar shell landed in a courtyard occupied by the Japanese army and exploded, it was an 82-millimeter mortar shell, the ferocious gas làng mixed with countless metal shrapnel, blew up the three Japanese soldiers who were preparing to go up the fence to the bloody blur and flipped to the ground.

A soldier shouted at the panicked soldiers below.

"Baga, you guys quickly carry them to the back. You two hurry up and take the Heavy as your deputy, quick! ”

"Dangdang Dang"

The Type 92 heavy machine gun at the head of the wall kept spraying tongues of fire, knocking the already small street into a flying stone.

"Whoosh" Feeling the bullets flying around his head, Wu Chengfeng tried to poke the rifle out of the bunker several times, but Wang Yilong pulled him back.

"You fool, do you want to find death by sticking your head out now? Look at it, learn it! ”

After speaking, Wang Yilong took off the two smoke bombs in his waist, opened the insurance, and walked towards a place thirty meters away.

Two slight thuds were insignificant in a battlefield where the gunfire was raging, and in a moment the two smoke bombs emitted a black and thick smoke that covered the entire street.

The sound of the Japanese machine gun's shè hand, which was disturbed by the sight, suddenly became loud, and the firing point of the machine gun was also scattered.

"It's now, Bazooka!" Wang Yilong just shouted.

As soon as it was too late, a soldier rushed to a corner in front of him with a single lunge, then took out the bazooka on his back and pulled the trigger in the general direction he had just looked at.

"Whoosh"

"A 40-caliber rocket flew forward with a long flame in tow."

After a while, a loud "boom" was heard in front of me, followed by the sound of a building collapsing, and the annoying sound of machine guns disappeared.

"Brothers, kill!"

Following Wang Yilong's order, more than a dozen soldiers of the airborne regiment immediately rushed out, and the 'ant' submachine guns in their hands continued to pour out tongues of fire as they charged.

Wu Chengfeng rushed forward with the Garand rifle in his hand, Wu Chengfeng rushed to the front of the collapsed wall, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a scattered Type 92 heavy machine gun and the corpses of three machine gunners.

"Phew, you also have today." Wu Chengfeng spat heavily on the ground, just now it was this heavy machine gun that took the lives of the three airborne regiment brothers, if it wasn't for Wang Yilong pulling him, I'm afraid he would have to go to the national cemetery. Although it is an honor to die for the country as I said to the chief, who is okay and would not think of sacrificing their lives for the country, right?

"Hmm"

A sound came from under his feet, Wu Chengfeng took a closer look, it turned out that there was still a devil buried in the rubble under his feet, it turned out that he was just buried under the rubble and did not die.

Wu Chengfeng raised the Garand rifle with the bayonet in his hand without thinking, and aimed it at the devil's chest.

After a scream, the devil would never move again after a few twitches.

"Hey, hey, this soldier, stop me! Who told you to kill the captive? At this time, an officer of the Airborne Forces came over and reprimanded Wu Chengfeng, who was about to move forward: "Why did you kill him casually." ”

"Huh!" Wu Chengfeng looked up and saw that he was a captain about twenty-one or twelve years old, with a childish look on his face, and at first glance, he knew that he was a young man who had just graduated from the military academy.
