Chapter 580: Bloody Battle in Zhengzhou (3) (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )
The steppe wolf flag fluttering in the wind ignited the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of all officers and soldiers, because the media was not very developed in this era, although the divine power of Chen Feng's department was far and wide, but few people knew what the troops of the Eighth Theater were like, especially special forces such as paratroopers were rare, so Zhang Huwei and others did not recognize them at first.
But when the steppe wolf flag was erected, the identities of Qin Yiwu and the others were self-evident, and it was the reinforcements from the Eighth War Zone who came.
Zhang Huwei took the lead and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements are coming, and they will all go down with Lao Tzu to kill devils!" ”
With Zhang Huwei's order, all the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Regiment of the 196th Division followed Zhang Huwei towards the Japanese army in the city.
Zhongmu. The headquarters of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Tank Division.
"Nani! The Takeda brigade is besieged by the Shina army! ”
"Hai, the telegram I just received was sent by Captain Sakata, according to Captain Sakata's report, they were besieged by heavy troops in Zhengzhou City, Takeda Shaozuo has been shattered, and the department has suffered heavy casualties, asking for combat guidance!" The Chief of Staff of the 3rd Tank Division, Sasaki Daisa, replied.
"Baga, hasn't the main force of China already withdrawn to Luoyang, how can it appear in Zhengzhou? Is it another mistake of Tegaoke? Lieutenant General Kazusei Nishihara asked loudly.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the door: "Your Excellency, please don't insult our special high-tech, our extra-high-tech belongs to the imperial base camp and is not subject to the control of any front, if your Excellency has any opinions on our special high-tech, please report to the base camp." Don't talk like that behind your back! ”
"Major General Koga, I apologize for what you said and did just now, but I still need you to give me an explanation to the entire Takeda Brigade that is about to shatter all the jade!" Nishihara Kazucei also said coldly.
The person who spoke just now was Chiyoko Koga, the supreme commander of the intelligence agency of the North China Front, who came to the opposite side of Lieutenant General Nishihara Ichice and said: "Your Excellency Nishihara, we have already found out the matter, the government army of China has indeed withdrawn westward, and the headquarters of the First Theater of Operations in China has also moved to Luoyang, which is not wrong!" ”
"Baga, who did Takeda Shaozo meet, and where did they come from. Did it still pop out of the cracks in the stones? Nishihara said angrily.
"Your Excellency Nishihara. Suddenly appearing in Zhengzhou City was the paratroopers of the Eighth Theater of Operations in China, they were airborne near Huayuankou, north of Zhengzhou, and the number of people may be about two brigades! Chiyoko Koga said loudly.
"Nani, the eighth theater of war in China. Paratrooper? ”
"Hay. Bureau of information that we got from the special high-tech department. In fact, the Takeda Brigade's plan to capture Zhengzhou City was almost successful, they had already captured all the peripheral positions in Zhengzhou, and the main force had already broken through into Zhengzhou City. But just when it was about to annihilate the stubborn enemies in the city. The paratroopers of Shina suddenly came out from behind the Takeda Brigade and inflicted heavy damage on the Takeda Brigade! ”
"Yaga! Chen Feng Bagaya Road, Eighth War Zone!! Nishihara said through gritted teeth.
Does Nishihara Isse really have another reason for the anger of the Eighth War Zone, this Eighth War Zone is simply the nemesis of his Nishihara Ichice, and he has been repeatedly unhappy since 38 years, when Nishihara Isse served as the commander of the cavalry group of the Mongolian Army, and the complacent Nishihara Isse was given a blow to the head by Chen Feng's department as soon as he arrived in China, and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade under his command was completely annihilated in the south of Xilin Gol, and even his old friend and right-hand man, Major General Ying Xiaosen, was also sentenced to death by Chen Feng.
This is not over, the original base camp decided to reequip the cavalry group in the second half of 38, change it into a chariot unit, and deliberately mobilized a small 300 chariots and armored vehicles from the country. However, these weapons and equipment had just arrived in Tianjin, and before they could go ashore, together with the city of Tianjin, three large warships, and more than a dozen 10,000-ton freighters, they all became the trophies of Chen Feng's department, and the cavalry group's refitting was put on hold.
It was easy to complete the change of clothes at the beginning of 39, when the political party Nishihara Kazuse was preparing to show his skills on the Chinese battlefield, several successive duels of armored forces directly hit the 3rd Chariot Division, and several consecutive heavy losses, not only caused the 3rd Chariot Division to lose a large number of weapons and equipment and experienced veterans, but more importantly, it made him, a lieutenant general of the Imperial Japanese Army, suffer a huge humiliation, and even some people openly called him the incompetent Nishihara at the joint meeting of the base camp.
In this attack on Henan, General Okamura placed great hopes on Nishihara's chariot division, and Nishihara did not disappoint Okamura Ningji, and marched all the way, defeating more than 100,000 troops in the First War Zone in a very short period of time, and killing more than 100,000 people even with prisoners, and only less than 30,000 remnants escaped.
Knowing that the main force of the first theater had withdrawn to the west, Nishihara Yice divided the main force into dozens of tank squads, sent and mixed the 10th brigade to completely eliminate the remnants of the enemy in the occupied area, and only sent a mixed reinforced brigade to Zhengzhou.
Nishihara Kazusei had already imagined the angry expression of General Okamura after the battle report was sent to the front headquarters, although the imperial army could still afford the loss of a mixed brigade, and he, the commander, would not lose his rank because of this, but such a defeat would inevitably affect his promotion.
You must know that Lu Dao has been stuck in the position of lieutenant general division commander for five or six years, and if he can't get promoted, I'm afraid he will only be mixed up to this point in this life.
"Major General Koga, I solemnly apologize to you and the entire Tegaoke Dao for my words and deeds just now, I'm sorry, please bear with me!" Nishihara Kazuse knew that he had to bow his head, otherwise he would lose the support of the special high-tech intelligence in the next battle.
"Your Excellency Xiyuan, on behalf of Tegaoke, I accept Your Excellency's apology, but the most important thing now is to take Zhengzhou!" Chiyoko Koga said loudly.
"Yo Xi, Zhengzhou must be reinforced and the Takeda Brigade must be rescued!" Nishihara Kazuce said hatefully.
"Your Excellency, please forgive me for being blunt, where is the Takeda Brigade, don't have too much hope, with the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Theater Paratrooper Force, the Takeda Brigade will not last long at all, and the command system of the Takeda Brigade has been destroyed, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out to our reinforcements!"
"Baga, if the Takeda Brigade is wiped out, I will let the entire Zhengzhou City be buried for them!" Nishihara Kazuze said coldly.
"Whatever you want, but before that, you have to face up to the two brigades and regiments of the Chinese paratroopers, you must know that the paratroopers are all formed by the elite of various units, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to ordinary troops! In addition, the Eighth Theater of China not only carried out airborne operations in Zhengzhou, but also launched attacks in the two directions of Luxi and northern Henan, and the two sides launched fierce battles on the front line of Linqing and Xinxiang, and the winner has not yet been decided! ”
"Although the paratroopers are formed by the elite of various units, and their combat effectiveness is indeed good, they are relative to ordinary troops. After all, paratroopers are airborne, so it is impossible to carry too much ammunition, that is, their ability to continue operations is not strong. The second is that it is impossible to carry artillery, let alone anti-tank weapons, so for our tank troops, no paratroopers can stop our advancing tracks, and the rolling forward tanks will crush all the enemies in front. Kazusaku Nishihara said confidently.
Then Nishihara Kazuce ordered loudly: "Order: The 8th Tank Wing, the 3rd Motorized Infantry Wing, and the Division Rapid-Fire Artillery Brigade immediately assemble and march towards Zhengzhou, and be sure to arrive at Zhengzhou in 2 hours!" ”
"Mizuno-kun, please go to Zhengzhou and be responsible for this siege operation!"
"Hay!" Major General Nobu Mizuno, commander of the 10th Brigade of the Mixed Brigade, said loudly.
"Remember, don't fight with the Chinese paratroopers, the Chinese lack artillery support, especially the lack of anti-tank weapons, so our army must give full play to our advantages, try to use artillery to destroy the enemy, and after entering the city, we must also use tanks to open the way, not to annihilate the Chinese paratroopers, but we must ensure the smooth capture of Zhengzhou City!"
"Hai !!"
June 18, 1941 was an unforgettable day for the citizens of Zhengzhou, this day they experienced the transformation of heaven, hell and hell, in order not to cause panic, the headquarters of the commander of the First War Zone did not notify the ordinary citizens when they withdrew from Zhengzhou, because once the citizens knew that they had withdrawn, I am afraid that a large number of citizens would rush to flee, which would inevitably bring great pressure to the traffic road to Luoyang.
According to past experience, once such a nationwide panic is caused, it is likely that the citizens of the entire city will move to a safe place, and the main roads and small roads will be full of people, and the people with their families will block all the roads, and then they will not be able to walk away, so they will not notify the ordinary citizens at all, and even leave a force to appease the citizens.
Therefore, the ordinary people in the city of Zhengzhou did not know that the Japanese were coming, but the disaster happened at this unprepared time, the Japanese called, and they entered the city in a very short time.
However, just when they were about to despair, a miracle happened, Qin Yiwu appeared with the paratroopers of the Eighth War Zone, heroically rescued the entire city, not only wiped out all the Japanese who were established, but also said that they would not give up Zhengzhou, and reinforcements would come in a steady stream.
However, before they could rejoice, another frightening news came that Japanese soldiers had been found in the eastern suburbs of the city, and they were in large numbers, and they were rushing towards Zhengzhou City.
As more detailed information came, the Japanese army not only had hundreds of tanks, but also a huge number of artillery. The people in the city panicked, and they all saw Chen Dashuai's troops. Although it is very powerful, but there are no tanks and no artillery, how can the flesh and blood withstand the tanks and artillery of the Japanese devils, everyone's hearts have sunk to the bottom, and some ordinary people have fled outside the city!
