Chapter 1286: The End of the Kawagishi

The reply from the garrison headquarters was very fast, and Kawagishi Fumizaburo was very surprised when he saw it: "Is Itagaki-kun crazy?" We must resolutely resist until dark before we can retreat, otherwise military law will be engaged! Isn't this a joke about the lives of the warriors of the Empire, sacrificed in vain? This is clearly murder! ”

Once upon a time, the commander of the Japanese lieutenant general division who was extremely contemptuous of the squadron would actually say such weak words, and it seems that the frequent failures have seriously hit Kawagishi Bunzaburo's self-confidence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After reading the message, Hisazo Kimura reminded: "The order repeatedly emphasizes that we must make our opponents feel our strong will to fight and indomitable spirit, perhaps the headquarters is deliberately covering up something...... But now that the order has been given, we must carry it out unconditionally! ”

Kawagishi Bunzaburo reluctantly ordered: "Okay, order the 40th Brigade to quickly reinforce the front line, and not let the Anjia army advance before dark." Remind the commander of the Yamashita Brigade to be smart in battle, and give full play to all the real skills he learned during his study in Lu Shi, Lu University and Germany, so that our opponents can feel the tenacity of the imperial ** team! ”

"Hay—"

Kimura Kuzo took the order, and Kawagishi Fumizaburo thought about it and was not at ease, so he sent out the cavalry wing and reconnaissance wing directly under the division to closely monitor the movements within a radius of 10 square kilometers to ensure the safety of the division headquarters.

......

A long convoy came from a distance, and at the head was five Japanese Type 97 military side three-wheeled motorcycles.

Xiao Qian, the captain of the special brigade directly under the Fifth Army Corps, sat in the bed of the motorcycle at the front, with a black beard on his upper jaw today, a pair of black glasses on the bridge of his nose, a majestic Japanese military uniform, and a sheathed command knife in his hand. On the side buckets of the four motorcycles in the back, all of them are equipped with crooked machine guns, which look murderous.

Behind the motorcycle convoy were two Japanese Type 91 armored vehicles, followed by five Japanese Toyota-1 military trucks covered with tarpaulins.

At 5 o'clock this morning, the special brigade infiltrated the flank of the Japanese defense line from the junction of the Wuqing defenders and the Japanese 20th Division through clever camouflage, and then marched all the way east to the Qinglong River, and then turned north, advancing towards the belly of the Japanese 20th Division and the 109th Division.

Along the way, they encountered several Japanese puppet troops who were scouting, but seeing the strong momentum of the convoy, coupled with the judgment of the direction of the march, they all thought that they were reinforcements from Tianjin, and no one stepped forward to ask.

All the vehicles in this mixed convoy were trophies of Wanping's victory. Busy with the escape, the riverside brigade did not have time to destroy the blasts, and in vain cheapened the independent divisions that cleaned up the battlefield. After adding enough fuel, these vehicles were sent to Baoding, and Hu Jialin had a whim, and immediately called Xiao Qian, the captain of the special brigade, to inquire in detail. Xiao Qian, who was bored, saw that there was an opportunity to go out on a mission, so he naturally behaved in every possible way, saying that driving these vehicles was completely pediatric, and he soon obtained the task of attacking behind enemy lines and disrupting the Japanese defense line.

At the end of the battle of Wuqing, the convoy was resting in a dense forest, and after receiving new instructions from Hu Jialin, it hit the road again. At this time, the Japanese army had significantly strengthened the monitoring of the main roads, and a Japanese sentry post appeared at an intersection in front of the convoy. Xiao Qian was not afraid and motioned for the convoy to move on.

Seeing the mighty mechanized troops driving towards him, the Japanese second lieutenant stationed at the intersection ran out of the sentry box next to the fence with two devil soldiers and beckoned the convoy to stop.

The motorcycle leading the way stopped in front of the devil lieutenant, Xiao Qian jumped out of the car, stretched out his hand to "snap" is two slaps, and shouted loudly in Japanese: "Yours, bastard!" Open your eyes and see, can the people of China be equipped with such good weapons and armored vehicles? Delay time, Lao Tzu hacked you! ”

The second lieutenant just wanted to distinguish it, but it was two more slaps in the face, and now there was no way, so he hurriedly bowed and apologized, and the two devils next to him saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ran to pull open the railing, and signaled to a few devil machine gunners in the ring bunker piled up by sandbags behind the sentry box to pay attention, this commander of the mechanized unit has a bad temper, and it is better to make less trouble.

Hearing the sound of gunfire coming from the sky on the left, Xiao Qian frowned and asked, "Is there already a fight ahead?" How's it going? ”

The second lieutenant replied respectfully: "The Chinese army has gathered a large amount of artillery fire to attack our position, and our division has suffered heavy losses, and at present all units are struggling to resist. The commander of the riverside division gave the order to hold out until dark at all costs. ”

Xiao Qian nodded: "Yo Xi!" Stretched out his hand and patted the second lieutenant on the shoulder, and after getting into the car, he waved his left hand: "Forward, go to the battlefield as soon as possible, and destroy the Chinese army!" ”

"Hay!"

There was a loud answer, and then the convoy started and turned west at the intersection, speeding away from where the gunfire had come from.

A ghost soldier came to the second lieutenant's side and said with palpitations: "Sir, that Da Zuo just now is really fierce!" We are just carrying out the orders given by the division and regimental headquarters, is this necessary? ”

The second lieutenant wiped the blood oozing from his nose and said helplessly: "No way, who let the family officials crush people to death?" But I'm also so stupid, it's obviously a convoy from the direction of Tianjin, why should I come forward to make myself bored? Forget it, don't mention it, scatter, scatter ......"

After more than ten minutes of driving, a hill more than ten meters high appeared in front of it, Xiao Qian, who had been observing against the map, hurriedly called to stop, and then quickly ran up the gentle slope, crouched in the grass, and took out a telescope to observe carefully.

I saw that in front of the village, the large mansion located at the head of the village was particularly eye-catching, and four or five antennas stretched out from the top of the house, each of which was three or four meters high, and many Japanese soldiers entered and exited from it. Near the house, many military tents were erected, and a row of motorcycles and trucks were parked in the open space in front of the tents. It seems that this is one of the more important command posts of the Japanese army.

Xiao Qian returned to the motorcycle, and the brothers in the military vehicle behind him jumped down one after another, asking if they had found the big fish?

Xiao Qian originally wanted to rush over and end up the Japanese headquarters with the strength of his department, but after thinking about it, the consequence of this would be the exposure of the entire army, and the surrounding enemies would outflank him, saying that there would not be any big trouble. On the contrary, while the Japanese army has not yet discovered itself, it may not be able to play a greater role if it continues to lurk. So his eyes widened, and he scolded loudly: "What is the noise, obediently go back to the car, we now have air supremacy, there is no need to take action in person...... Isn't there a forest on the way here? We'll go there and hide later, and it would be too unjust to blow up our own planes. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Qian rushed to the armored car, pulled the door and ordered: "Correspondent, immediately send a report, the Japanese command headquarters has been found in Baigutun, and the air force brothers can show their skills." ”

......

Langfang City, the former enemy headquarters of the Fifth Army.

Lu Yixuan stood in front of the window, looking at the fighter planes whistling and circling in the sky in the distance, and frowned slightly: "The Japanese army is very tenacious, and it still fights to the death under the double blow of our air and ground......

Huang Zhi, chief of staff of the corps, put down the phone, stood up and glanced at the military sand table placed in the center of the headquarters indicating the situation of the enemy and us, came to the window, and shook his head:

"The enemy has placed a large number of mines on the front line, and although we have taken various means of demining, there is still no way to completely clear the enemy's mines. In addition, the Japanese army's earthwork work was not much inferior to ours, and individual bunkers, hidden bunkers, and anti-artillery holes were built on several lines of defense, which caused great trouble to our attacking troops. Although the number of troops placed in the front line by the Japanese army is small, they are always ready to have a reserve army to be sent out to attack us when the battle line is shaken. Although our aerial bombardment and mortar precision strikes were very damaging to the Japanese, they continued to maintain the front line by adding troops to the front, and it seemed that the enemy commander was a ruthless character. ”

Chief of Operations Wen Junhao suggested: "Just cover it with artillery fire again, I don't believe that their bunker can withstand another round of heavy artillery saturation attacks." ”

Lu Yixuan glanced at him: "Our inventory base of artillery shells is not much, and it will be exhausted all at once, what should we do if we need artillery support in the future?" The purpose of our battle is to test the reaction of the Japanese army, and if we can take the opportunity to destroy more of the enemy's living forces, it will naturally be the best...... Okay, let's fight with him, and order Yang Guan and Zhang Zuying, asking them to immediately dispatch snipers from various regiments and battalions to the front line to shoot at the Japanese army...... Our sniper marksmanship is better than theirs, our weapons are more advanced than theirs, and the range of our bullets is farther and more powerful than theirs, so I'm going to see who can't hold it first. ”

At this time, Qin Zhenbang, the director of the communications department, hurriedly entered: "The special brigade directly under the regiment found the Japanese headquarters in Baigutun, five kilometers behind the enemy's position, and it is initially estimated that the center of the 20th Division is located, and our fighters have already swooped there. ”

Lu Yixuan came to his senses when he heard it: "Kawagishi Bunzaburo is in Baigutun? If we can really kill him, the blow to the morale of the Japanese army is immeasurable, and it is not necessary that the Japanese army near Langfang will suddenly collapse, we can take advantage of the situation to push the battle line forward to the canal and completely disrupt the strategic deployment of the Japanese army. ”

......

Kawagishi Bunzaburo was very satisfied with Yamashita Fengfumi's performance, and after the front-line communication was restored, Kawagishi learned that although the 26th Field Artillery Wing directly under the division was completely wiped out in the shelling of the squadron, including the squadron commander Hosokawa Tadayasu Daisa, all the jade was shattered, but the previously carefully constructed defense line has withstood the test, and most of the anti-artillery holes and bunkers are intact, which provides the necessary conditions for supporting the defense line under the combined air and underground strikes of the squadron.

At the same time, the 109th Division was also contacted, and Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, who also advocated retreat, was also reprimanded by Seishiro Itagaki, and in desperation, he took out his strength to resist desperately, and now the crumbling defense line has stabilized.

For the squadron to dispatch the air force to bomb, Kawagishi Bunzaburo was mentally prepared, after all, there is air superiority and not to take advantage of it, that is what a fool will do. The chief of staff, Kimura Hisazo, was worried about the fighter planes hovering in the sky not far from the headquarters, and suggested: "General, should we temporarily move to the dense forest behind the village to take refuge?" The fighter plane is too close to us, and it is too dangerous here! ”

Kawagishi Fumizaburo looked calm: "It is impossible for the Shina army to think that we would set up the headquarters in such a high place, it is very hidden here, and there are all residential houses nearby, although most of the Shina people have fled, but the Shina army does not know this, and their fighters will not waste bombs on their own people!" Besides, if there is any problem, our reconnaissance team scattered around will call to let them know, so ......"

Before Kawagishi Fumizaburo could finish speaking, the communications staff officer suddenly stood up with a pale face and stammered: "Will ...... General, no...... Oh no, ...... Chinese fighters suddenly left the battlefield and ..... to us We're here to pounce, and it's expected ......"

Immediately, there was chaos in the headquarters, everyone put down everything they were doing, and rushed out of the house quickly, many tables, chairs and benches fell to the ground, and even a radio station fell to the ground due to the panic of the operator.

However, no matter how hard they tried, it was already too late, and the five-kilometer journey was a blink of an eye for an airplane with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour, and before Kawagishi Fumisaburo, Kimura Kuzo, and a group of division generals could rush out of the house, huge aerial bombs rained down like raindrops on the headquarters headquarters with high antenna masts.

As a series of earth-shattering explosions came out one after another, shrapnel flew within tens of meters around, and the heat wave steamed, crushing everything into powder, and the thick smoke of gunpowder soared into the sky.
