Chapter 80: Battle of the South Exit
Facing the Japanese fortress. The Nationalist Army first rushed one by one, and when they couldn't rush one by one, they greeted them with grenades when they approached, and when there was some improvement, the Japanese fleet, which had been silent for a long time, spoke.
In the case of the Izumo, it had 4 203-mm guns, 14 152-mm rapid-fire guns, and 12 76-mm rapid-fire guns, but these guns surpassed the 8th Artillery Regiment, the best equipped Chinese artillery.
And the Japanese 3rd Fleet also had a number of cruisers, destroyers, gunboats, and the entire fleet had very strong firepower.
When the Japanese fleet fired a salvo, hundreds of shells flew over the sky, and an area of 1 or 2 kilometers was covered by artillery fire, completely covering the offensive line of the Nationalist Army with a rain of bullets, and for a time the casualties of the Nationalist Army rose sharply.
Huang Meixing, commander of the 264th Brigade of the 88th Division, was commanding the front line of Zhizhi University, he looked at the combat map and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, we have taken 12 pillboxes in the past four hours." β
The staff officer next to him nodded, but said worriedly, "But we have suffered a lot of casualties, and the company commander alone has broken four." β
Huang Meixing sighed, "It's about it, but looking at this speed, we can end the battle in two days at most." These little devils, just such a little ability, when they meet our German mechanics, they are not defeated. Command!! β
The staff officer immediately took out a pen and paper and prepared the record.
But I heard a whining sound.
Huang Meixing was excited, looked at the sky, but saw an earth-shattering explosion in front of him, at this time, a 203 naval artillery shell was in the middle of the headquarters, where could this ordinary house block such a shell, Huang Meixing and more than 30 communications platoon soldiers were killed on the spot.
- Nanxiang Command
Zhang Zhizhong nervously looked at the changing map, and a staff officer came in and said, "Report!" β
Zhang Zhizhong waved his hand and said, "Read!" β
The staff officer said: "The Japanese Third Fleet shelled our positions, and the forward units of our army suffered heavy casualties, and it has been determined that the 88th Division suffered 1,800 casualties, and the 87th Division suffered 1,500 casualties, and Brigade Commander Huang Meixing was hit by shelling. Martyred on the spot, 7 of the 10 company commanders of the 527th Forward Regiment have been killed. β
Zhang Zhizhong was so frightened by such a number that his pen fell off, and exclaimed, "What? Why are the casualties so large? β
Chief of Staff Xu Peigen said, "There is no way, we are now fighting a fortification, and the devils have prepared well in advance, but now the peripheral positions have been basically taken by us, but the battle behind me is probably all hard bones, the enemy's naval artillery is too threatening to us, and our heavy artillery is threatened by naval artillery and does not dare to get too close, and now it is a way to transfer the position after a few shots." This has greatly reduced our firepower. β
Zhang Zhizhong hammered hard and said, "These damn battleships, we have to find a way to knock them out." β
- Concession
Looking at the battle report from the Qing Gang, Jiang Cheng and the others couldn't help but shake their heads.
Yu Yishan asked curiously, "Why don't you blast all the way over?" It's too hard to fight with human life. β
Jiang Cheng replied, "It's very simple, there aren't so many explosives, and the army won't either." It doesn't take much to blow up a wall, but if you blow it all the way, you need a lot of explosives, and blasting is a technical job, unlike bombing a bunker. If you stuff more, you blow up the wall, and if you have more, the house will collapse, and if you have less, you won't be able to blow up. We don't have that many professionals in the military. β
Huang Jinrong looked into the distance and said, "Grandma, this little devil's cannon is too powerful." β
Jiang Cheng sighed, "If the battleship is not removed, our battle damage is really too great." β
Wang Yong nodded and said, "The owner is right. Why don't I take a few brothers with a latte drill, but I don't know if the bottom of their boat is so big. β
Jiang Cheng was almost laughed at by his words.
Yu Yishan and Li Qian were already leaning forward and leaning back with laughter. Li Qian laughed and said, "Barbarian Niu, you better save it, have you ever seen a battleship?" β
Wang Yong touched his head and said, "I don't think our fishing boat is bigger." It shouldn't be difficult. β
Jiang Cheng shook his head and secretly thought about something, and said to Yu Yishan, "Yishan, it's too dangerous here, you better leave Shanghai as soon as possible." β
Yu Yishan pouted and said, "If you don't leave, I won't leave, besides, these brothers are still here, I have to teach them." β
Jiang Cheng didn't know what she was thinking, and persuaded her a few times, Yu Yishan simply covered her ears and closed her eyes to say that she didn't listen or listen, Jiang Cheng helplessly said to Li Qian, "You guys have been practicing water sex recently, I'll go out for a few days to think of a way." β
At this time, Lin Guisheng came up scolding, and Jiang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Sister Guisheng, what's wrong?"
Lin Guisheng scolded: "These damned foreign devils, for fear of drawing the flames of war into the concession, actually built all the exits on the walls, and the heavy machine gun mounts were mounted on them to face the Chinese outside the concession, saying that if they dared to break in, they would shoot, and it was said that in some places there were already foreign devils shooting threats." β
Yu Yishan suddenly stood up angrily, "This is China, how can they do this?" β
Huang Jinrong took a sip of tea and said, "It's normal, where do these foreign devils really treat us as human beings?" I have opened up my big world and let the refugees take refuge in it, alas, it is the common people who suffer the most from the war. β
When Jiang Cheng heard that this concession was blocked, what he was most worried about was whether Li Qian and the others could go out to command the troops, so he asked, "Li Qian, if all of them are blocked, will you go out?" β
Lin Guisheng immediately replied, "Don't worry, it's very easy for you to go out, but unless you are a foreigner, you are not allowed to go out." β
Jiang Cheng was relieved.
Jiang Cheng couldn't stand it anymore when he saw these of China's most elite troops being beaten like this, and he was ready to go back to modern times to find Qin Tianlin to ask for something to take care of the Third Fleet.
At this time, not only Shanghai, but also the north There is an earth-shattering war that is continuing.
Nankou, located at the intersection of Yanshan Yumai and Taihang Mountain at 45 kilometers northwest of Beiping City, is the Great Wall pass on the south side of Juyong Pass, and is the gateway of Beiping to the northwest. The terrain in this area is complex, with steep mountains and overlapping passes. It is a transportation artery connecting the northwest, north and northeast. Defending the south pass can prevent the Japanese from occupying Chahar Province, and then divide the troops into the Jin and Sui Zhi plots, so as to defend the three provinces of Chahar, Jin and Sui.
The original garrison here was the 143rd Division of the 29th Army, and after the loss of Beiping, Liu Ruming of the 143rd Division finally stopped blocking Tang Enbo's 13th Army after receiving Song Zheyuan's resignation letter and Jiang Zhong's 68th Army commander's hat, and let the tens of thousands of Central Army troops who had been waiting for him go to Nankou to deploy defenses.
At this time, not far away, the newly arrived Japanese Fifth Division was slowly approaching the south entrance.
Tang Enbo graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School. He knew the Japanese army very well, and after being appointed as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, he immediately calculated the strength in his hands, and only his own 13th Army could be trusted, the 17th Army was just reorganized by the Gao Guizi Department of the Shaanxi Army, the 68th Army was the remnant of the 29th Army, and the 35th Army was Fu Zuoyi's troops, which was trustworthy, but it could not be transferred out of Shanxi, so it was really difficult to fight.
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came, and Tang Enbo saw it, but it was the annoying Liu Ruming. couldn't help but say, "Commander Liu, what's wrong?" Why are you in such a hurry? β
Liu Ruming threw away his military hat and said, "Mr. Tang, it's not that I, Lao Liu, is afraid of death, why don't we have air force support, I heard that all the planes are flying south, what does this mean?" Your Southern Central Army is a treasure, is our local army just made of grass and worthless? What does Chairman Chiang mean by this? β
Tang Enbo is the most loyal to Jiang Agent, it can be said that his position is based on loyalty to Jiang Agent, he heard Liu Ruming say nonsense to Jiang Agent angrily, "Liu Ruming! What do you mean by that? Suspicious of the commission? It is now the period of resistance against Japan. You also return the division of the local army and the central army, what do you want to do? If you don't dare to fight, you take off your uniform and go home. I let the Seventeenth Army go up, how can the Northwest Army produce people like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death? β
Liu Ruming suddenly said urgently: "Who is afraid of death?" The Great Wall of Resistance was fought that year. I was also wounded in three places and didn't say a word, but now we don't even have a plane, and there are as many planes as there are birds in the devils, how can we fight? β
Tang Enbo looked at Liu Ruming coldly. He knew in his heart that he didn't dare to fight, and he was clearly unwilling to fight. The 143rd Army, which was expanded by the 68th Division, did not receive any supplements, and Liu Ruming was unwilling to use his own troops to fight the Japanese.
Tang Enbo thought about the telegram issued by Jiang Zhong that he must fight a battle in the north, and showed the Chinese people that the Central Army was a war of resistance, and said coldly, "You let your people withdraw from the south entrance to Zhangjiakou, and I will defend the south entrance, and I will let the 17th Army guard the left flank Chicheng, so you can rest in Zhangjiakou in the middle with peace of mind." β
Liu Ruming heard this and said solemnly, "Where is this, the brothers are working hard in the front, and I don't dare to sleep in the back, I mean I hope that Mr. Tang can contact the commission." Give us some air force assistance, it's really not okay to give some anti-aircraft machine guns."
Tang Enbo thought that he would have to cooperate with him for a while, so he said, "I will contact the chairman of the committee, but there is an air force to fight, and there is no air force to fight, so your troops should retreat to Zhangjiakou to guard their hometown." After speaking, he waved his hand to send people off.
Liu Ruming angrily scolded the person next to him, "What's it, it's just a dog of Jiang Intermediary, I want to see what he is capable of." β
Tang Enbo seized the time to arrange the troops, and as soon as the army was arranged, the Japanese fighters swarmed in.
Seishiro Itagaki was known as the courage of Itagaki along with Ishihara in the Japanese army. Today, he is the commander of the 5th Division and the commander-in-chief of the attack on Nankou.
Itagaki Seishiro has been dismissive of the Chinese army since 918 and directly ordered his troops to storm Nankou.
Guarding the south entrance was the 89th Division, a total of four regiments.
At the front line was the 529th Regiment guarding Longhutai.
The regiment commander Luo Fangqi is a top student of the fourth phase of Whampoa, he inspected the position, looked at the soldiers who kept digging fortifications, looked at the Japanese position in the distance and sighed, "Although we are guarding the danger, the firepower is too weak." It's still a five-five fight. β
There were no more than 60 artillery pieces of the Nationalist Army in the entire Nankou direction, and all the mortars were added.
The commander of the seventh company next to him was a strong man, and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of, if the devil dares to come, I will use my machine gun to surprise them." β
Luo Fangqi smiled and said, "Lin Qing, it's good if it's really like this." You're on the front line, but you're going to hold on to it. β
Itagaki Seishiro didn't give Luo Fangjue too much time, more than seventy field guns announced the start of the battle at the first time, although it was at a high place, but looking at the mortar in his hand, Luo Fangjue could only grit his teeth and give up the plan to fight.
Lin Qing squatted in the trench with a pistol, listened to the sound of the cannon and scolded, "Grandma, the shells don't cost money, why can't you finish it." β
Seeing that the fortifications he had just built were being blown up little by little, Lin Qing hurriedly said, "This can't be done, brothers, follow me carefully and retreat, we will come back after the little devil's cannon is over." As he spoke, he slowly crawled to the rear cautiously.
Wait until it is out of range of artillery fire. Lin Qing exhaled and scolded, "The little devil's cannon is really fierce, Nima's has more bullets than Lao Tzu's machine gun." β
Waiting for the artillery fire to stop slightly, Lin Qing hurriedly rushed back with his people, the already messy position did not attract Lin Qing's attention, twenty or thirty babbling chariots that were desperately climbing up along the mountain road completely attracted everyone's attention, and the most terrible thing was that it was not the little little bean ding, but a 57-gun type eight or nine medium chariot.
Not only did he see it, but Luo Fangqi also saw these iron monsters, and he hurriedly let the only battle defense gun in his army fire at the chariot.
But the more anxious he was, the more he missed, and Luo Fangjue, who was watching, almost drew his gun and fired at the gunner. Finally, a shell hit the tank, only to see that the vehicle was tilted to one side by the impact of the shell.
Lin Qingyi waved his hand and smiled: "It's a good fight." Go on. β
Before he could laugh, he saw the tank staggering again.
The frontal armor of the 89th tank was 17mm, and the 37 guns at a distance of 600 meters had no effect on him at all, but Luo Fangqi really couldn't do it if he wanted to risk the danger of being covered by Japanese artillery fire.
Lin Qing also knew that it was impossible to rely on this cannon to block so many chariots. He said to the surrounding soldiers, "Don't be afraid, do you see the surroundings of the king's cover, there are holes all around, which are used by devils to shoot." Everyone waited and rushed down after me to block the firing ports, and the machine gunners gave me a hard beating, nailing the devil's infantry to the back. β
Saying that, the Japanese tanks slowly drove into the valley, and the battle defense artillery finally made a move. Paralyzed a Type 89 to the ground, the commander of the seventh company saw the opportunity and shouted, "Brothers, rush me!" With that, he took a grenade in his left hand and a shell gun in his right hand and rushed down.
Japanese tank crews take a look. What a chance, he quickly stopped the car and fired, and one after another soldiers were knocked to the ground by machine guns. Lin Qing watched his brothers fall beside him one by one and shouted, "Don't stop, rush me!" β
The mountain road was narrow, and the Japanese tanks were lined up one by one, and the machine guns on both sides of the hill opened fire at the same time, blocking the infantry following behind behind the tank. was really approached by the soldiers of the Seventh Company.
After paying more than 30 lives, the soldiers of the 7th Company finally rushed to the side of the chariot, and the commander of the 7th Company rolled to the side of the chariot, and fired a grenade at the firing port, and then fired several shots into it.
The other fighters used guns, grenades, and slashed with knives and fists in a hurry, and surrounded the tanks in front of them. Only the tanks, all of which were killed in the six vehicles, were left on the mountain road.
Lin Qing gasped and said, "What kind of king eight shells, it's not that we have been defeated. How many people are there? If you are angry, give Lao Tzu a reply. β
At this time, the Japanese artillery fire began to cover again, and Lin Qing and others ran back to the fortifications with rolling and climbing, and in the end, the two platoons that went out only came back with less than 30 people.
Lin Qing looked at the company that was missing more than half, looked at the Japanese troops in the distance, swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth and shouted, "It's not alive, but it's over, people die and birds are facing the sky, and they won't die for thousands of years, brothers, hold it off for me!" β
The Japanese offensive continued.
- Nanjing
Jiang Zheng looked at Tang Enbo's battle report and nodded, "Keqin is good, and he has played the backbone of my Chinese soldiers, especially this Luo Fangqi, who has played my Whampoa military might." β
Bai Chongxi praised beside him, "This Luo Fangqi is really good, it's really rare for a regiment to be killed and still holding on." However, I suspect that the Japanese army will be reinforced in large numbers, after all, there are only 10,000 people in front of the south exit. β
Jiang Zhong smiled, "The north needs reinforcements, and the south also needs reinforcements, I want to see what they do." Nankou is not afraid, as long as the Japanese army withdraws the main force to Shanghai, and its siege is self-relieved, I hope Wenbai can attract the Japanese army over. β
Jiang Cheng on the other side had returned to the modern era, and he immediately came to Chen Ce's shop non-stop.
At this time, the store has been renovated, and instead of countless dogs, it has turned into all kinds of strange creatures.
Jiang Cheng looked at Chen Ce, who was really holding a mouse and feeding the python in a serious way, and asked curiously, "Toilet paper, have you changed objects?" β
When Chen Ce saw Jiang Cheng, the chicken thief smiled and said, "You are here, I found that I still like this reptile more, it's easy to feed, it's not noisy, how about it, it's amazing." β
Jiang Cheng always felt that Chen Ce must have made a mistake about the point.
Jiang Cheng didn't care about him, grabbed him and said, "Let's go in, I have something to ask you." β
Chen Ce reluctantly threw the remaining mice into the mouse cage, entered the room with Jiang Cheng and asked, "What's wrong?" Boss Jiang, what do you want to buy? β
Jiang Cheng directly took out his mobile phone and wrote: "I want to fight a warship, do you have any good way?" β
Chen Ce turned his head and wanted to leave, but Jiang Cheng hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
Chen Ce said angrily, "Are you crazy, fighting warships? Then you can't buy anti-ship missiles, is this thing something that can be touched casually? All you need is a dozen, and the whole world will have to find out about us. β
Jiang Cheng hurriedly wrote, "No, it's not a modern warship, just the kind in the early stage of World War II, I don't want such a thing as missiles, you just give me conventional weapons." β
Chen Ce thought about it and said, "There is still a way to do this, there was not even a radar in the early stage of World War II, you can just take a plane with a bomb and give him a shot." β
Jiang Cheng was suddenly distressed, he had thought about using the plane, but where did he come from? (To be continued......)
