Yang Chengwu's mood at this time was not only excited but also excited, he didn't expect that Shi Wenhu would still have a way to deal with the Japanese tank troops, which was amazing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Haha, you kid really has a lot of ideas, no wonder the commander appreciates you so much!" Yang Chengwu said.
Shi Wenhu smiled and said: "Division commander, that old devil in Itagaki doesn't have many chariots in his hands now, and there are only more than 250 chariots in the entire 3rd Division of Real Cars, but during this time, there are more than 170 chariots in our hands, counting the more than 50 chariots in the front position, the Japanese army now has no hidden chariot troops." ”
"That's right, as long as we eliminate these fifty or sixty devils' chariots, then we will be equivalent to completely annihilating the main force of the third tank division of the Japanese army. You're a fucking freak, hehehehe! ”
In fact, the Japanese tank unit found an anomaly as soon as they drove into this soft place, but they thought that the Chinese and Japanese teams had planted heavy mines here, so in addition to pears this place with artillery, more than 100 devil sappers were dispatched to clear the mines.
In order to conceal his true intentions, Shi Wenhu really planted a large number of mines here, and even three giant mines among them.
The Japanese army's actions really achieved a lot of gains, and as the mines were hit, explosions suddenly came and went.
The Japanese army's engineer unit was also very good, and the business was not only skilled, but in just ten minutes, more than 130 large and small mines were raised, of course, the Japanese army's engineers also suffered a lot of losses, and the snipers of the Eighth Route Army were not vegetarians, and they sniped more than 30 Japanese engineers in a short time.
However, compared to the chariots, the sappers were also a consumable, so despite the heavy losses of the sappers, Itagaki did not order the sappers to retreat, but transferred an infantry brigade to suppress the Chinese defenders.
With this infantry brigade, the offensive of the Chinese defenders was quickly suppressed, and in just over half an hour, the Japanese engineering units cleared all the mines in all areas within a radius of 100 meters.
After several turns, the Japanese chariot unit finally approached within 300 meters of the defender's position, and when the Japanese chariot unit was preparing to continue advancing, the Japanese charioteers were stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw a torrent rushing down the gentle slope of the low to this soft land, and the huge wave soon turned the soft ground in front of it into a muddy swamp, and the Japanese chariots continued to sink and sink in this muddy place......
The destruction of the few dozen remaining chariot divisions directly announced that the third chariot division, which had not been formed long ago, was left with only an empty shelf. And Itagaki Seishiro was also stunned by the scene in front of him, originally he was also wary of the huge soft land, if it weren't for the fact that he had to pass through that land, Itagaki's cautious personality would never let the troops get into danger.
Seeing that the chariot troops were completely finished, Okamura Ninji's heart was dripping blood, and with the obstruction of this swamp, the Japanese army would not want to attack normally for at least a week, which made Itagaki General very dissatisfied.
He still knows the truth that he is like a tiger in one drum, and then he is exhausted, so according to his established plan, he does not give the Eighth Route Army time to breathe, and he has indeed done it in the attack a few days ago, and his uninterrupted attack has indeed exerted a strong combat effectiveness.
However, now that the change in the objective environment has caused Itagaki's plan to be completely aborted, with this week's time, the Dirt Eight Road will definitely be effectively supplemented. If you want to push them to this point at that time, you will definitely pay a huge price, but even if Itagaki knows about this result, it will not change the current situation in the slightest.
As Itagaki Seishiro had predicted, the huge swamp did not gradually return to its previous state until a week later, and Yang Chengwu had originally wanted the 1st Brigade to continue to fill the swamp with water in order to continue to delay the Japanese attack.
But Shi Wenhu was very depressed and told him that that method could only be used once, because there was no river in the south of Zhangjiakou, and the nearest river was the Daqing River that flowed from the city center.
However, the project to divert water from the Daqing River was so huge that even the more than 1,500 soldiers of the Engineer Regiment spent a week digging a small canal less than one meter wide.
On the one hand, the reason why the soft land of Nuoda was able to turn into a swamp in a very short period of time was that the Third Brigade directly blew up the dam that had been blocking the reservoir for more than a week, and the amount of water that had been accumulated for more than a week was directly washed out, and the water was abundant. On the other hand, it is caused by the topography, the terrain of the whole Zhangjiakou is high in the north and low in the south, the back is high mountain, and the south is plain, and the reservoir can be repaired to the mountain when it is built, so who will be so fierce.
Now that the Japanese army has been prepared, it is impossible to achieve results. Therefore, the Japanese army will continue to attack in the next two days, and because the fortifications are seriously damaged, even if they have been reinforced several times in the past few days, it is very difficult to hold this position, so Shi Wenhu hopes that the division headquarters will be prepared for street fighting.
On September 11, the offensive and defensive battle of Zhangjiakou, which had been stagnant for a week, kicked off again.
Although Itagaki Seishiro was eaten up the only dozens of remaining chariots due to negligence, the vitality of the entire North China Front army was not lost. Itagaki Seishiro is not waiting stupidly these days, he knows very well that Tubalu will not give up Zhangjiakou easily, so if he wants to take Zhangjiakou, he has to take some extraordinary measures.
After more than half a month of offensive and defensive operations, Itagaki discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, in the three places where Zhangjiakou was attacked, the distribution of the strength of the Shina people was different, and the defenders in the south and west were not only numerous, but also extremely advanced in weapons and equipment.
But the will to fight in these two directions is not too stubborn, and in the event of an irreversible attack, the enemy will take the initiative to retreat. The defenders in the east were the opposite, and although the positions in the east were very wide, the defenders had only a little more than 10,000.
The most important thing is that the armament of the defenders of the Eastern Front is also much worse than that of the defenders in the other two directions, not to mention the small number of heavy machine guns, and they are also relatively scattered, and there are no formed machine gun units at a glance.
In addition, the defenders in the east do not seem to have a separate artillery unit, and in the past few days, they have fired a total of several mortars, and the caliber is only about 60mm-80mm, which is not a little worse than the large-caliber infantry guns and 75mm mountain guns used in the other two directions.
The discovery of this situation made Seishiro Itagaki very happy, and the imbalance in the strength of the Tsuchiji allowed him to find a way to break through the last line of defense.
At the beginning of the Japanese attack, Yang Chengwu and others realized that something was wrong, although the strength of the Japanese attack in the west and south positions was also very strong, and the two sides even engaged in artillery battles, but compared to the attack intensity of the previous period, this is simply not worth mentioning.
The Japanese not only concentrated all their aviation units in the eastern position, but even transferred the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 5th Mountain Artillery Wing, the 26th Field Artillery Wing, and the 10th Wing to the eastern position, and a large number of snipers appeared on the Japanese position.
As soon as the battle began, the Wanquan Garrison Regiment responsible for the eastern defense was dealt a devastating blow by the Japanese army, and in just one hour, the position of the Wanquan Garrison Regiment was broken twice by the Japanese army.
But even so, the eastern line of defense was beaten back one after another, and it was only a matter of time before the position fell.
Although the troops temporarily gained a firm foothold under He Xiulin's pressure, the losses made He Xiulin, a veteran who was accustomed to life and death, also feel a little worried, but the troops on the eastern front lost more than 3,000 people in just over two hours, of which more than 800 were directly killed, including Li Hongfei, head of the Wanquan Garrison Regiment, Zhang Yongquan, head of the Chongli Garrison Regiment, and more than a dozen staff officers.
