Chapter 836: The Ten Poisonous Sons (Part II)
"Xianzhou is deeply honored!" Li Xianzhou listened to the constant roar of planes from the position, and the sound of continuous strafing, explosions, and screams of the Japanese army, and held Lin Shanhe's outstretched hand and replied in a deep voice.
The Japanese retreated, and all tanks, machine guns, and grenadiers were lost to their positions under the slaughter of the Wehrmacht warhawks. The Wehrmacht eagles even clinged to the Japanese infantry and pursued them all the way to their positions.
It wasn't until the ammunition ran out that he reluctantly left the position.
And taking this opportunity, the officers and men of the 17th Army, under the command of the crow, directly looted all the Japanese equipment that could still be used on the position.
More than 100 machine guns were carried back, and ammunition was piled up into a hill. Grenadiers were almost as good as one per squad, and grenades were distributed to the soldiers below with more than three each.
The 17th Army, which was picked up by the "foreign fall", was full of joy, touching a brand new gun, and these men were overjoyed.
"Gentlemen...... Although we are facing the air force units of the Wehrmacht, we still have to continue to fight. Yanagawa Heisuke sighed lightly as he looked at the silent division commanders in his headquarters.
In the two attacks from the morning to the present, the 10th Army lost more than three thousand people. At the same time, more than 10 tanks were damaged in battle, and their morale was seriously reduced.
"For the sake of His Excellency Commander Matsui's strategic arrangement, we have to continue the war." Yanagawa Heisuke said to the division commanders, "As long as we can attract their attention here, then when His Excellency Commander Matsui leads a large force to come back, these damn Wehrmacht forces will be nothing more than turtles in the urn!" ”
"Hay!" The commanders have said so, what can these division commanders do?! They could only shout yes and then go down to organize another attack.
"Boom! …… Suddenly, suddenly, ......" in Kaifeng City, the sound of guns and cannons rang out. Countless Japanese troops suddenly entered the city, and the officers and men of the 33rd Army resisted desperately amid shouts.
But helplessly. Their flesh and blood were simply powerless to resist the heavy artillery and tanks of the Japanese army. After a morning of fighting, the Japanese army finally broke through Kaifeng City.
At this time, the 33rd Army was under the jurisdiction of: the 73rd Division, with Liu Fengbin as the division commander; The 3rd Independent Brigade, Zhang Zhengyu served as the brigade commander; The 8th Independent Brigade, Meng Xianji served as the brigade commander.
And so far, there are only less than 3,000 soldiers left in the entire 33rd Army who can still fight. They were not as fortunate as Gao Guizi's 17th Army in Xuchang, because they had not been attacked by the Japanese army, and the Wehrmacht did not set its sights on them.
After the war started, the main energy of the four places was also involved in Xuchang, where the war was most intense. This has created a void of surveillance and defense on Kaifeng's side.
Matsui was given an opportunity to carry out his plan.
"Yo Si! Sussan. I'm very happy with your performance. For your merits, I will ask the base camp for credit. At the same time, I suggest that you, a good friend of the Great Japanese Empire, come and serve as the governor of Shanxi. ”
In Matsui Ishone's headquarters, a middle-aged man with round-framed glasses, oily hair, and a suit smiled flatteringly and said to Matsui Ishone in his skillful Japanese.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander, for promoting! This is just some obligations that should be fulfilled, and these Jin Sui troops do not know the current affairs. Damn it! ”
Matsui Shigen nodded, this person is called Su Tiren, and he is the inner line that Qingqi Qingyin has scraped. The Central China Front has obtained information, and a lot of it is due to this person.
After graduating from Shanxi Provincial Normal School in his early years, Su Tiren went directly to Japan to study. He then graduated from the Department of Chemistry at the Tokyo Higher Technical School.
After returning to China, he successively served as the principal of Shanxi Provincial No. 1 Middle School and the principal of the preparatory department of Shanxi Provincial University.
In the end, he finally entered the eye of Yan Xishan, the overseer of Shanxi, and was entrusted with important tasks by Yan Xishan. He has successively served as secretary of the Shanxi Provincial Military Supervision Administration, director of the Foreign Affairs Office, representative of the Shanxi Supervision Office in Beijing, and representative of Commander Jin Sui in Beijing.
Not only that, he was also one of the members of Yan Xishan's "think tank", and most of Yan Xishan's works were edited by Su Tiren. Yes. Su Tiren had a wide range of connections in the Jin Sui army, and it was easy to obtain a large amount of military intelligence.
"Hmm...... Good birds choose trees to perch, and they don't understand this truth. It is enough for us to have a sensible person like Susan as a friend, and as for them...... Hum! ”
The biggest reason why Matsui Shigen was able to break into Kaifeng City and still be able to block the news was because of Su Tiren!
This person made excuses. Secretly came to Kaifeng City. Later, by virtue of his own status, he introduced a group of Japanese elites into Kaifeng City and lurked.
When Matsui launched a general attack, these elite Japanese troops destroyed the city. The most serious thing is that the location and strength of the telecommunications room have been thoroughly touched by Su Tiren.
The Japanese were the first to destroy the telecommunications room. As a result, the besieged Kaifeng City had no way to eliminate its encirclement
Spread the word. At the same time, he also lost contact with the troops below.
Without command, the 33rd Army was defeated extremely quickly. But after an hour and a half of shelling, the entire Kaifeng position almost collapsed. The Japanese easily entered the position under the cover of tanks.
"Commander...... Now what?! The devils have already entered the city, and Su Tiren's bastard is taking them everywhere to hit our firepower points! The brethren can't organize themselves to fight......"
Liu Fengbin, the commander of the 73rd Division, cried at his own commander, this battle was too bad. Not to mention that he was infiltrated, even the firing point, the strength of the troops, and even the communication were cut off.
Tens of thousands of people in the entire 33rd Army have become deaf and blind like this! Let the Japanese army fight like fools on the spot. The firepower could not be mobilized, and the Japanese troops would come out of nowhere.
The larger the divisions, the fewer they are, and even Liu Fengbin, who is the division commander, now has more than 1,000 people in his hands. All of them were concentrated around the headquarters to defend against the Japanese attack.
"Commander...... We still have to plan early, Su Tiren's bastard has already sold us! ”; Zhang Zhengyu, the commander of the 3rd Independent Brigade, gritted his teeth and said: "This miscellaneous piece, Lao Tzu will kill him sooner or later!" ”
"Don't talk about these useless things, everyone is organized and ready to break out immediately!" Zhou Yuanjian's face was ugly, he didn't expect Su Tiren to sell the entire Jin Sui Army like this!
Counting it up, he is Yan Xishan's henchman! Yan Xishan treated him well, and now the director of the Shanxi Finance Department is Su Tiren! What else does he want?!
"No matter how many brothers are left, immediately organize all of them to break through with me in the direction of Zhengzhou!" Zhou Yuanjian gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "We must immediately inform the commander that the situation in Kaifeng has changed. Otherwise, once the Japanese fight it, we will be completely annihilated......"
Liu Fengbin, Zhang Zhengyu, Meng Xianji and several others nodded, and suddenly rushed down to organize people to be a death squad.
Outside the headquarters, the sound of artillery rumbled, and the shouts and battles were endless. Zhou Yuanjian's face was pale, and his heart was up and down. He didn't know if he would be able to break out this time.
The Japanese army obviously besieged the entire Kaifeng City with heavy troops, in order to completely annihilate the 33rd Army. If it was the 33rd Army, which had three divisions in the past, Zhou Yuanjian would still feel that he had hope of breaking through.
However, after the defeat of the Jin Army in the Central Plains War and its reorganization, only one division and two local garrison brigades remained in the entire 33rd Army. How can such troops and combat effectiveness compete with the Japanese army?!
And the combat effectiveness of the 33rd Army can be seen from the Japanese attack. The first charge of the Japanese army had already broken through the position of the 33rd Army, and now they had all been killed in Kaifeng City!
In just a few minutes, the battle order had reached the hands of the remaining troops below. More than 3,000 people were hit and rushed directly towards the rear of Kaifeng City.
Since most of the Japanese tanks attacked in the front positions, there were not too many troops in the rear to return fire. The breakout went extremely smoothly at the beginning.
"Yo Si! This Zhou Yuanjian reacted very quickly, and now he is ready to break through. Matsui Ishone had a hint of cat-and-mouse abuse on his face.
"Hahaha...... What a pity! If I let you run, my plans will be in vain. Order the 3rd Division to immediately block Zhou Yuanjian! Don't let them break through! ”
"Hail!!"
In the rumbling cannonball, the Japanese army gradually occupied most of Kaifeng City. Except for the 3rd Division, the rest of the troops were advancing according to Matsui Ishone's plan.
The remnants of the 33rd Army were finally blocked outside Kaifeng, and the 3rd Division was desperately withstanding their attack in front of them. Although there were no fortifications to rely on, the Third Division was enough to overwhelm the current 33rd Army in terms of combat effectiveness and strength......
"Something is wrong, this is already the fifth offensive of the Tenth Army. And they have been without the help of planes and tanks since the third time, and in such a situation they attack only to the death. Why continue?! ”
Lin Shanhe frowned and said in a deep voice as he looked at the Japanese troops who were constantly attacking and being repulsed. Li Xianzhou hesitated for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Did the commander of their front army force them to attack?!" If it had been the order of the commander of their front, the Tenth Army would have had to carry it out. ”
"If that's the case, the Tenth Army should ask the Front for support from troops, artillery, tanks, and aircraft." Lin Shanhe paused, put down the telescope in his hand and said in a deep voice: "But we haven't seen any of this." ”
As he spoke, Lin Shanhe suddenly turned around and walked to the map and looked at it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and said word by word to Li Xianzhou.
"Please also ask Division Commander Li to contact the Jin Suijun in Kaifeng and Pingdingshan immediately! I suspect that the Tenth Army is merely attracting our attention, and that their main forces have already moved to these two places! ”
