In view of this, Ma Zheng immediately ordered the troops in the county town to strengthen the defensive position, and even sent out the reserves of the only two battalions in the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not to mention that tens of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops around Dai County were in a mess, and the other troops under Ma Zheng's department all took action like chicken blood after receiving the order issued by the headquarters.

The first to make a breakthrough was Shi Dingfang's armored division, this newly formed armored unit is the only armored force in Ma Zheng's hands, when he learned that the Japanese army was preparing to carry out a full-scale attack on the Suicha Military Region, Ma Zheng was keenly aware that Tatian Jun's intention was not to be located in the hinterland of Suicha Guisui or Baotou, but to join the northeast and northern Hebei in the northeast.

Because of this, Ma Zheng first ordered the reorganization of the Third Division to set up a bureau in eastern Hebei, and at the same time secretly mobilized troops to prepare to teach the Japanese army in eastern Hebei a hard lesson, and the killer weapon against the elite divisions of the Japanese army was this armored division equipped with more than 400 tanks.

When about 40,000 people from the armored division, the fifth integrated division, and the troops directly under the Suicha Military Region suddenly appeared around Qian'an, the Japanese army was completely stunned by the situation in front of them.

Under the joint attack of the troops inside and outside the city, the Japanese army, which had already suffered more than 10,000 casualties, soon could not support it. Although it did not completely collapse, but did not dare to stay in Qian'an for a long time, after paying a heavy loss of nearly 10,000 people, Lieutenant General Yokoyama finally got rid of the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army with the remnants of the army, and when they returned to Tangshan, they found that the original army of more than 50,000 people is now less than 25,000 people, and almost half of the troops have been lost.

Even the remaining half of the army was wounded, and a small half of the soldiers were wounded. The most important thing is that the morale of the troops is low, and Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama even doubts that if the Chinese army takes advantage of the victory at this time to pursue south to capture Tangshan, these troops under his command do not know if they can resist it.

In addition, the results achieved some time ago were basically lost, and after the Eighth Route Army repelled their siege, tens of thousands of troops did not retreat, but continued to attack eastward, almost sweeping the Japanese army in eastern Hebei in a crushing posture, and did not stop until the outskirts of Qinhuangdao. It can be said that after this battle, the Japanese puppet army forces in eastern Hebei were almost wiped out, except for a limited number of strongholds such as Tangshan, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao, the rest all became the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

Speaking of Ma Desheng's department, after receiving a telegram from Ma Zheng from Dai County, the army immediately went south with Feng Youlun's tank regiment, preparing to attack Beiping with Yang Chengwu's department.

It is said that the fastest way for Ma Desheng's troops to go south to Beiping is through Zunhua and Jixian and then directly into Tongzhou, but the Japanese army stationed an infantry wing in Zunhua.

In order not to startle the snake, but also in order to quickly break through the Japanese army's resistance, Ma Desheng's department set off overnight after receiving Ma Zheng's order, but during the day, the army rested in the mountains and forests, and continued to rush until night. Therefore, until the soldiers approached the city of Zunhua, the Japanese army did not realize that the Eighth Route Army had moved south.

But it is worth mentioning that the combat effectiveness of the infantry wing left by the Japanese army in Zunhua is really good, although Ma Desheng's department and Feng Youlun's armored troops suddenly appeared in Zunhua, although the Japanese army was caught off guard, but they did not panic, only experienced a very short period of confusion after the Japanese army began to counterattack, and finally although it still failed to hold Zunhua, but the Japanese wing commander calmly evacuated Zunhua with a lot of troops.

Ma Desheng and others did not pursue the more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers who fled, but ordered the troops to step up their time to rest, and at the same time overhaul the chariots, collect fuel and rush to the next battlefield.

During this period, the results of continuous combat were certainly brilliant, but the attrition of troops was also extremely serious. Not to mention weapons and ammunition, the oil alone almost bankrupted Ma Zheng's department.

The diesel fuel used in the chariot Ma Zheng Department can not produce it by itself, and can only choose to buy it at a high price from the Kuomintang region, but Lao Jiang and the entire Nationalist Government are now very taboo about the Eighth Route Army, so the amount of each purchase is very small, and the battle during this period has used more than 70% of the fuel in the year's inventory, according to the prediction of Wang Hansen, the chief steward of logistics, the battle of this intensity is at most half a month, and the mechanized brigade can only stop and act as a fixed turret.

Fortunately, the Soviet side has agreed to sell diesel fuel to Ma Zheng's department, but now these materials are still in Zamyn-Uud, and they will not be transported back to the Suicha Military Region for a while and a half.

But no matter what, this battle still has to be fought, after overhauling the chariot and adding the few oil that had just been captured to the chariot, Feng Youlun and Ma Desheng commanded the troops to continue to advance, and their goal was Jixian.

At this time, Jixian's defense was extremely empty, and when Zunhua was attacked, Tada Jun received the news. But it's a pity that he doesn't have many troops in his hands, and there are only two wings of troops when he is full, even if he wants to reinforce Jixian, he is powerless.

There are still thousands of Imperial Cooperative troops in Beiping City, and with other miscellaneous troops, they can still make up some people. However, compared to mechanized troops and cavalry, seven or eight thousand miscellaneous soldiers are simply delivering food.

In desperation, Tada Jun immediately ordered the bomber groups in Beiping City and Tianjin Dongjuzi Airport to take off immediately and rush to Zunhua. Fortunately, Ma Desheng and others knew the Japanese army's tricks, and he barely let the troops stay in Zunhua County for long, and they didn't even enter the city, and after the battle of the chariot troops was completed, they drove into a large forest not far from the county seat.

In order to protect these precious bumps, Feng Youlun ordered the mechanized infantry battalion to build an anti-aircraft position in the woods, and all the combat vehicles were camouflaged. Originally, Feng Youlun thought that the Japanese planes would retreat after they could not find them, but he did not expect that the commander of the Japanese air force was also a combat expert, and after seeing that there were no chariot troops moving on the road, he immediately ordered the bomber group to bomb Zunhua City wildly, and then bombed the valley and woods near Zunhua City.

Feng Youlun knew that this group of bombers judged that his tank troops had not gone far, and they were probably hiding nearby, and the nearby tank troops could hide in addition to the valley or the woods, so he placed the target here, so even if he didn't move today, the huge fire and smoke after the tank was blown up would also expose the target, so he ordered the air defense position to open fire immediately.

In order to reconnoiter the Chinese tank troops, the Japanese planes flew very low, so they were suddenly attacked by the air defense forces, and three planes were blown up by volleys at once, and two other planes were seriously injured with black smoke rising from the tail.

The Japanese army also hated the mechanized unit under Ma Zheng's department, and originally those tanks and tanks were used to equip the Third Tank Division. However, now it has become a sharp weapon of the Suicha Military Region against the Imperial Japanese Army, and this chariot "brigade" alone has caused tens of thousands of casualties to the Imperial Army. Therefore, the Japanese army finally caught the traces of Feng Youlun's department this time, so they dispatched more than 30 bombers at once, and the formation was a clear attempt to annihilate Feng Youlun's tank unit.

In the face of a sudden attack, the Japanese bomber group immediately raised its flight altitude, and the belly of the plane was wide open, and the bombs fell in the woods as if they did not need money. Immediately, several combat vehicles were blown up, and billowing smoke slowly rose, exposing the target even more.

However, the Japanese aircraft group did not take advantage of anything, and the reason why Ma Zheng equipped each armored regiment with a mechanized infantry battalion was completely to deal with the Japanese bomber group.

Ma Zheng knew very well that as far as the Chinese battlefield was concerned, there were not many weapons that could deal with the tank troops, and the best and most effective 37 anti-aircraft guns were not equipped with the Chinese troops, and even the field troops of the Japanese army were not equipped with a few. Therefore, the biggest threat to the tank unit is the Japanese aviation unit, so the main task of the mechanized infantry battalion is to protect the safety of the tank unit, so the mechanized infantry battalion is equipped with all kinds of machine guns, including anti-aircraft machine guns specially used to deal with aircraft.
