The problem in front of Itagaki Seishiro and others now is extremely tricky, even if they know the intentions of the Eighth Route Road, what can they do, the Eighth Route Army can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and it is nothing if Zhangjiakou is lost, of course, it is better if it is not lost.

However, the North China Front Army was different, if it lost so many troops and did not achieve any results at all, not only would the entire North China Front Army lose face, but it would even affect the great cause of the empire going south. Therefore, even if the casualties in this battle were large, the Japanese army could only pinch their noses and admit it, so no one stupidly proposed to withdraw their troops.

As for how to take Zhangjiakou City, the entire Japanese army headquarters was divided into several factions, and some advocated sending paratroopers to parachute into Zhangjiakou and open the gate of Zhangjiakou under the cooperation of the inside and the outside.

Some people think that it is better to send a special combat team with strong combat strength to infiltrate Zhangjiakou City, and then wait for the opportunity to blow up the arsenal of the defenders of Zhangjiakou, and if the commander of the Eighth Route Army can be assassinated, or the command system of the Eighth Route Army can be discontinued.

However, the opinions put forward by these generals are very flawed, and they may not be successful, and there is a great element of risk-taking.

This is very dissatisfied with the excellence of Itagaki Seishiro, although Itagaki is a war maniac, but also an extremely cautious officer, he has always believed in the spirit of the Japanese army's bushido, after visiting Germany, he was deeply attracted by the German Army's rigorous combat methods, so these senior officers of the North China Front are very disgusted with the practice of fighting like a casino.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't think we can let the people know that we know their intentions now, so from tomorrow onwards our offensive will continue, of course, I will not let the warriors of the empire send them to their deaths!"

Then Itagaki Seishiro said again: "Ueda, you urge those Imperial Cooperative Army, tomorrow I will incorporate all the Imperial Cooperative Army on the Zhangjiakou Front into the battle sequence of your 10th Division, as for how to use those Imperial Cooperative Army, I will not ask, but I ask that the gunfire on the Zhina position is not allowed to stop for a while!" ”

"In addition, I will ask His Excellency Okamura to mobilize more Imperial Allies to come. As for the rest of the divisions, all the search teams of their respective divisions and regiments are concentrated in the headquarters, and the whole army is ready for battle at any time, and as for the fortifications of Zhangjiakou City, I will solve it within three days.

Although these high-ranking officers of the Japanese army did not know what Itagaki Seishiro had in mind, since Itagaki said that he would solve the hateful fortifications by himself, then they would not say anything anymore, as long as they did not let their troops go to death, everyone would have no opinion.

On September 13, the Japanese army continued to launch a fierce assault on Zhangjiakou City, and also mobilized a large number of artillery and aviation units to carry out non-stop and indiscriminate bombardment of Zhangjiakou City.

However, to the surprise of the defending troops, the Japanese troops besieging the city continued to charge the Zhangjiakou fortifications as if they were sent to death, and were repelled by several garrison regiments with dense heavy machine guns one by one, and then rushed in waves, like tired waves that did not understand at all, and could not be killed.

According to the estimates of the troops on the front, on September 13 alone, at least more than 10,000 "Japanese" troops were shot, if not more. After receiving the report from the troops on the front line, Yang Chengwu and He Xiulin were surprised.

Seishiro Itagaki is not a good stubble, that old devil is scheming, and there are many Chinese defenders who have lost a lot of money in his hands, including many elite troops of the Nationalist government. In the early 37th of the year, when attacking Nankou, even the 20th Corps of Lao Chiang's descendants suffered a great loss at the hands of Itagaki Seishiro, and lost many troops.

Therefore, with Itagaki's command level, such a mistake would never be made, so after some discussion, Yang Chengwu, He Xiulin and others agreed that if the Japanese army did not change its commander, it would be Itagaki Seishiro's big move, and such a disregard for the life and death of the soldiers must be covering up some kind of attempt by the Japanese army.

However, the intelligence department reported that the commander of the Japanese army on the Zhangjiakou front was still Itagaki Seishiro, and that the observation group of the Chinese dispatch army that had come to North China for exchange and study remained on the Zhangjiakou front and did not return to Beiping or Nanjing.

Based on this, judging by Yang Chengwu and others, Itagaki Seishiro must be planning a shocking conspiracy, and the target must be these defenders in Zhangjiakou City.

But no matter how Yang Chengwu and others guessed, they couldn't figure out a clue, the Japanese army on the Zhangjiakou front line is now heavily gathered, not to mention the real elite infantry of the Japanese army, even the puppet army is a group after group rushing to the Zhangjiakou front, the Japanese army has no need to play those false ones.

However, Yang Chengwu is also a veteran of the battle formation, although he can't figure out what the Japanese army wants to do, but how to say that the goal of the old devil in Itagaki is also inseparable from the troops defending the city and those fortifications around the city.

After some deliberation, Yang Chengwu ordered the defenders in Zhangjiakou City to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time ordered the resting Shi Wenhu and Li Wenqing to immediately disperse to various street fighting positions in the city, and once the Japanese army entered the defense line and entered Zhangjiakou City, then their two brigades would immediately enter the battle.

On the Zhangjiakou front, the Japanese army headquarters, Seishiro Itagaki took today's casualty statistics report and looked at it again and again, his brows furrowed tightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Report, Qi Sang of Peking asks to see you!" The captain of Itagaki's personal guard came in and said loudly.

"Let him in!" Itagaki said without raising his head.

Qi Xieyuan, the commander-in-chief of the puppet North China Security Army, walked in slowly in a strange military uniform, and the sound of walking was small and soft, and Lieutenant General Ueda Zhiyi, who was looking at it, frowned.

Seeing Qi Xieyuan coming in, Itagaki Seishiro immediately got up and said very enthusiastically: "Qi Sang, welcome, welcome, with the help of Qi Sang's security army, the imperial army is really like a tiger." ”

Qi Xieyuan didn't feel the slightest joy because of his master's praise, he said with a bitter face: "Taijun, the casualties of our security army today are too great, more than 10,000 casualties in just one day, and our security army has a total of only tens of thousands, so I hope that Taijun will let the imperial army take the lead in tomorrow's battle, and the security army really can't afford to lose." ”

Although Qi Xieyuan was standing and talking, but at the glance of Ueda, Qi Xieyuan was almost kneeling down and begging Itagaki Chief of Staff.

In fact, Qi Xieyuan now knows that his cooperation with the Japanese is not as harmonious as the outside world imagined, and the Japanese army looks down on traitors like him in their bones, and at the same time, they also deliberately suppress the development of the security army that restricts him.

Although he was nominally headed by the security forces, the advisers and spies planted by the Japanese army in the North China security forces had seriously threatened his authority. In addition, the Japanese army's establishment of the North China Public Security Army was too small, and it was only about 10 groups (brigades) when it was fully armed, and only five or six infantry divisions were combined into the Nationalist Government.

Even so, the Japanese army did not worry about Qi Xieyuan, and the North China Public Security Army must be used as cannon fodder in every battle. Although Qi Xieyuan himself privately formed more than 20 infantry groups, the Japanese army only turned a blind eye to this, after all, the development of the Eighth Route Army in North China was too fast, and relying on only 40,000 or 50,000 North China Public Security Army could not limit the Eighth Route Army at all

Since Qi Xieyuan was willing to pay his own money to form a troop, and he didn't have to pay the Japanese army for military salaries and had so much free labor and cannon fodder to use, the Japanese army was still very happy.

In the past, although the Japanese army also used the puppet North China Security Army as cannon fodder, it was the first time that the North China Security Army was sent to death in batches wearing the standard military uniforms of the Japanese army like today, but this kind of thing was enough to make Qi Xieyuan frightened.

More than 10,000 troops are gone, that's more than 10,000 people, if the Japanese army is allowed to do this a few more times, the family foundation that Qi Xieyuan has accumulated with great difficulty will be destroyed in an instant. So although Qi Xieyuan knew that what he said might cause Itagaki Seishiro's disgust, he still came hard. (To be continued.) )
