Yamashita Fengwen is worthy of being the Malay Tiger who became famous in Southeast Asia a few years later, and his tactical command level is indeed very strong. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion had already predicted that Xuanhua might become the focus of the next stage of contention between China and Japan before Ma Zheng's troops attacked Xuanhua, so he inspected the Japanese puppet army on the front line of Xuanhua four times in March and May, and ordered them to build fortifications and increase roadblocks and pillboxes to prevent infiltration and surprise attacks by Ma Zheng's troops.
It was precisely because of Yamashita Fengwen's attention that Ma Zheng's troops suddenly launched an attack this time, and the Japanese army was able to organize an effective defense between the creation and promotion and block the attack of Yang Chengwu's troops in Shalingzi Town, north of Xuanhua.
On 25 August, the Second Division and the Artillery Brigade of the Suicha Military Region once again exchanged fire with the 10th Division of the Japanese Army at Qilipo outside Xuanhua City.
According to the plan of Yun Jian, Yang Chengwu and others, it is best to take Xuanhua City before the reorganization of the first division breaks through Xinkou, so that the army under the department can come to Beiping City at any time, and then the North China Front Army must send more troops back to the Pingjin area, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
But the idea is good, but it is very difficult to actually implement it, and even the invincible special combat team has broken its wings on the Xuanhua front.
As the most promising senior officer of the North China Front, Yamashita Fengwen had been attacked by Ma Zheng's department for a long time because of a powerful and mysterious special combat team, and he also expected that Ma Zheng's department would definitely dispatch that mysterious special force this time.
Besides, Yamashita Fengwen has suffered the losses of Ma Zheng's special forces, and he has grown wise, so this time Yamashita Fengwen specially transferred a special operations squadron of Hattori's Tibetan ministers to Xuanhua to deal with Ma Zheng's special forces team, so a showdown between special forces is about to be staged.
This time, in order to seize Xuanhua City, the Suicha Military Region sent a total of 66 special combat personnel from two special combat teams to Xuanhua, preparing to wait for an opportunity to infiltrate the city, destroy the Japanese arsenal and the headquarters before the large army attacked Xuanhua City, and cooperate with the main force to take Xuanhua City.
After understanding the characteristics of special forces operations, Yamashita Fengfu made extremely strict arrangements for this. And when his soldiers told him that it was likely that a spy from the branch had entered Xuanhua City, Yamashita Fengwen did not show much surprise, and at that time he had already judged that it was the special combat team of the Eighth Route Army.
What is even more surprising is that even so, Yamashita Fengwen did not send people to immediately start searching for the special combat team of the Suicha Military Region throughout the city, but ordered the Japanese spies of the special high-tech department to follow and monitor the special combat team members who entered the city throughout the whole process, and at the same time secretly mobilized the special combat team in the Yamashita division to prepare to encircle and annihilate the special combat team under Ma Zheng's department.
First of all, the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's special combat team is generally relatively strong, far from being something that ordinary troops can contend with, and fighting against such a unit is likely to cause heavy losses if it is not good.
Moreover, the special combat team can often exert 200% combat effectiveness in urban street fighting, and it is definitely not a good thing to exchange fire with the special combat team in the city. Therefore, on the one hand, Yamashita Fengwen sent people to monitor the traces of the special combat team of the Suicha Military Region, and on the other hand, he mobilized his own special combat team to prepare to encircle and annihilate the special combat team under Ma Zheng's department with superior troops.
In that battle, although Hattori's special combat team also paid great losses, the special combat team that infiltrated Xuanhua City under Ma Zheng's department paid a heavy price for the annihilation of the entire army.
After the news spread back to Sui, Yun Jian, Tie Niu and the others were greatly surprised, the Thor special combat team was a special combat team trained by Ma Zheng himself, and they knew its strength. Although this time it was not the most elite group of players who went to Xuanhua to carry out the mission, but the fresh blood that had just been added to the special combat team.
But even so, the combat effectiveness of this special operations squad is comparable to that of a fully manned infantry battalion, but I did not expect that this time it would be crushed in Xuanhua City and completely annihilated by the Japanese army, and such a result was difficult for several senior officers of the Suicha Military Region to accept.
After such a long period of actual combat testing, some officers of the Suicha Military Region have blind confidence in the special combat unit, believing that as long as the special combat unit goes out, there is nothing that cannot be done, and even Yunjian, Yang Chengwu, and others are convinced of this.
The fiasco of the special operations team was a blow to these senior officers, but Ma Zheng was silent for only a few minutes after receiving the telegram from Yun Jian, and then regained his composure. Although he felt very uncomfortable, he didn't think it was an absolutely bad thing.
Although the death of more than 60 special combat personnel made him extremely sad in his heart, Ma Zheng knew very well the reason why Ci was not in charge of the army. Fighting a war is about killing people, Ma Zheng knew this very well from the beginning.
At the same time, the failure of the special combat team this time also sounded a wake-up call to the top leaders of the Suicha Military Region, telling them that the special combat team is not omnipotent, and the rise of a country is not a matter of a small army, so the special combat team can make indelible contributions to China's liberation cause, but it is not enough to change the course of history. It is still necessary to rely on ordinary troops to fight a war, especially to fight a big war, a hard battle, and a hard battle.
But think about it, Ma Zheng's character was bullied to be a turtle with a shrunken head. Yamashita Fengwen gave him a trap and ate one of his special operations teams, so Ma Zheng couldn't help but keep silent, it was still the same sentence, if he was bullied, he would fight back, and if he fell, he would get up.
Ma Zheng also knew that Yamashita Fengwen was proud of the spring breeze at this time, and if it was said that the appointment of the commander of the Chinese Tuncheng Brigade indicated that Yamashita Fengwen had begun to walk out of the shadow of the "226" incident, then his promotion to chief of staff of the North China Front Army could be said to have basically gotten rid of the influence of "226" and became the core figure of power in North China.
In fact, Yamashita Fengfumi, who was promoted to chief of staff of the front army, naturally had some "ambitions", but the current situation in front of him was getting worse and worse. In the summer of 1939, China's battlefield behind enemy lines was in a period of rapid development. The Jin-Cha-Ji anti-Japanese base area has been developed and consolidated considerably; The anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare in the central Hebei region developed rapidly...... In addition, there is still a tiger of the Suicha Military Region lying next to him, and Yamashita Fengwen is now walking on thin ice, like dancing on a cliff, and if one is not good, he will be crushed.
The fact that he ate a special combat team of the Suicha Military Region was indeed a great feat, and the entire North China Front Army was gratified, after all, the Japanese army only heard the voice of this legendary spearhead unit and did not see its people, and they felt both frightened and aggrieved. It is said that many generals who have been killed or captured in battle are suitable for this army, and now this army has been annihilated by more than 60 people at once, which is enough to comfort the spirits of those generals in heaven.
However, happy is happy, but there are still some things that make Yamashita Fengwen and others very worried. First, the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's special combat team, even when a trap was set, the special combat team of more than 60 people still caused huge casualties to the defenders of Xuanhua City, and the ordinary infantry alone killed more than 300 people, and more than 300 people were wounded.
And that's not counting the special advance team of Hattori Kuratomi who also suffered heavy losses, and a squadron of 200 men withdrew only 120 men after the battle, and more than 80 people were killed. Such heavy casualties are completely worthy of a small-scale offensive and defensive battle.
You must know that this is only the result of their precautions and complete tactical arrangements, if there is no arrangement in advance, what kind of situation will it be if such a strong force suddenly appears in the city, thinking about Yamashita Fengfumi feels a chill in his back.
This small force of more than 60 people left an extremely deep impression on Yamashita Fengwen, especially their powerful firepower, more than 60 people can fight with more than 15 times the imperial army without carrying heavy weapons, and even once had an advantage in firepower, which made Yamashita Fengwen have a strong interest in the weapons and equipment of this army.
However, it is shocking that the first thing these people do when the war is not favorable is to blow up their weapons, and if some soldiers die directly before they can destroy their weapons, their companions will also destroy their weapons at all costs, so that after a battle, Yamashita Fengbun's department did not even capture a decent weapon.
However, based on the wreckage of the weapons left at the scene, Yamashita Fengwen can still judge that this should be a new type of firearm, and the power is extremely amazing, but it is a pity that these wreckage are very badly damaged and cannot be imitated at all. (To be continued.) )
