Chapter 136: Driving the People to Attack the City (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! )

Just as Chen Feng said when he held a military meeting in Datong, if he just repelled the Japanese attack, this is not what he wants, that is not his style of doing things, whether it is the Chen Feng of the Wild Wolf Special Operations Division back then or the current Chen Feng, he is a person who pursues the greatest interests in doing things, so Chen Feng's combat goal this time is not only to keep the acre and three points of land in Suinan.

According to Chen Feng's plan, when the Seventh Independent Division launched an attack on the enemy in Tianzhen, he would personally lead three garrison brigades and a security regiment to approach Zhangjiakou, an important town in southern Chanan. Under the condition of fully mobilizing the main force of the Japanese army, Yeherina was ordered to lead the cavalry group, with the cooperation of the special operations division, to attack the suburbs of Beiping in two ways, giving a powerful deterrent to the center of the Japanese North China Front, and then the three-way army, including the independent 7th Division, quickly turned around and completely encircled and annihilated the Japanese army's Yamashita Fengwen Department in northern Hebei and southern Chanan.

In the war against Japan, Chen Feng always believed in the concept that it was better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure his ten fingers, and every time he made up his mind, he would make up his mind to completely annihilate the enemy. This is true of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade of Norihide Abe, the 4th Cavalry Brigade of Takataka Moriichi, and of course the mixed Brigade of the Chinese garrison in Yamashita Fumi.

On January 25, 1938, the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, the Japanese Fifth and Tenth Divisions outside Datong City launched an attack on Datong City with the cooperation of a small number of puppet troops. At the same time, the Japanese Yamashita Brigade outside Tianzhen City again launched an attack on the defenders of Tianzhen City, and the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the North China Front Army dispatched more than 300 fighters of various kinds at one time to carry out high-density bombardment of Datong, Fengzhen, Tianzhen, Xinghe, Jining, and other county towns controlled by the 61 st Army. At a time when there were no major battles in South China and Central China, North China attracted the attention of the whole country.

In the face of the Japanese attack, all the officers and men of the 61st Army fought back bravely with the same hatred of the enemy, took the outer positions of Datong as the line, and fought with the Japanese army for every inch of land, and the battle between the two sides entered a white-hot state at the beginning, and an artillery battle was carried out in less than half an hour after the battle began, and even an air defense operation was carried out over the city of Datong; in the face of the powerful attack capability of the air defense brigade, the Japanese Provisional Aviation Regiment once again folded its wings to the north of Jinbei, leaving behind the wreckage of more than 30 warplanes and fled in panic over the city of Datong.

But in terms of offensive and defensive operations. Although the 101st Division occupies various advantages in terms of time, place and people. However, in the face of the two permanent divisions of the Japanese army, he still felt great pressure, and Li Wensheng, commander of the 101st Division and commander of the Datong garrison, went to the city three times in a day to observe the battle situation.

The situation on the side of Tianzhen was not very good either, after two days of fighting. The 403rd Regiment of the Independent 7th Division, which was stationed in Tianzhen, suffered heavy losses. The regiment's more than 3,400 people have already suffered more than 1,000 casualties. Although there were only more than 300 people killed in the battle, the strength of more than 2,000 people stationed in the county seat of Nuoda Tianzhen did seem a little thin.

A morning of fighting, the battle line at the south gate of Tianzhen was crumbling. If it weren't for Xu Jiangang, the commander of the 403rd Regiment, who sent his guard company and at the same time transferred half of the 403rd Regiment's anti-aircraft machine guns, I'm afraid that the South Gate would have fallen today.

Of course, compared to the casualties of the 403rd Regiment, the casualties of the Japanese puppet army cannot be described as heavy, but rather heavy. There are more than 9,000 people in the Yamashita Brigade and now only 7,000 people are still in combat effectiveness, and the cavalry divisions of the two puppet armies are even worse, less than half of the 7,000 people are left, and more than 5,500 people were lost in the two-and-a-half-day battle, which makes Yamashita Fengwen, who has always been known for his fierce generals, very embarrassed.

It was humiliating enough to use 17,000 men to attack the small county town garrisoned by an ordinary infantry regiment and not defeat it for two and a half days, not to mention the loss of nearly 5,500 people, which made Yamashita Fengwen unacceptable in any case.

Although the Front Command had already informed Yamashita that the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade would arrive in Tianzhen by train tonight. However, Yamashita did not want to capture Tianzhen with the strength of the heavy artillery brigade, so he ordered his troops to capture a large number of Chinese peasants from the Huai'an area and force them to charge in front with machine guns, while the Japanese army followed behind the peasants and gradually approached the walls of Tianzhen.

"Tuanza, it's not good, the little devils drove the people to attack the city, the soldiers don't know what to do, you go and see!" He Haihong, the commander of the guard company of the 403rd Regiment, hurriedly ran into the regiment headquarters and said.

Xu Jiangang threw the pencil on the table, grabbed the steel helmet hanging on the wall and rushed out, and then Bayan Jiri, the deputy commander of the 403rd Regiment, also hurriedly followed.

Standing at the head of the city, Xu Jiangang saw the most terrifying scene in his life, only to see more than a thousand ragged Chinese peasants, under the threat of Japanese bayonets, rushing towards the Tianzhen city wall desperately, while about a brigade of elite Japanese troops followed closely behind the common people. What made Xu Jiangang feel chilled the most was that there were many ordinary people who were tied to bulging explosive bags, and if these people were allowed to get close, no matter how thick the city wall was, it would be useless.

Looking at the approaching crowd, Xu Jiangang didn't know how to choose for a while, once he gave the order to shoot, then the most innocent people would die. But if he didn't give the order to shoot, then the Japanese would soon be able to move under the city walls, and even if the explosive bags tied to the common people could not work, with the Japanese army's explosive skills, the walls of Tianzhen could be quickly blown down.

"Tuanzuo, I think we should ask the military seat, no one dares to order this kind of thing easily." Chief of Staff Zhou Haitao suggested.

"No, it's too late, all of them, immediately shout to the people under the city, tell them to stop the charge immediately, and before that we will shoot. In addition, with 150 meters as the boundary, whether it is the common people or the Japanese army, as long as they dare to cross this boundary, they will shoot immediately, don't have any scruples, I will bear it if something happens! Xu Jiangang ordered fiercely.

"Tuanza, they are all Chinese!" Chief of Staff Zhou Haitao shouted in disbelief.

"What about the Chinese, we are soldiers, shouldering the responsibility of defending the territory against the enemy. If we retreat today, it doesn't matter if Tianzhen City is lost, even if Datong City is lost, the important thing is that the Japanese will think that they have grasped our weak underbelly, and whenever they can't beat that city in the future, they will drive our people to attack the city. In less than a year, the whole of China will fall, so we can't open this opening, and now listen to my orders and shout!! ”

"Yes"

"Folks, don't run anymore, we'll shoot if we run again"

"Please, don't run anymore, we'll shoot if we run again"

On a hillside not far from the battlefield, Fengwen looked at the entire battlefield with a cold face. Fierce eyes roamed around. It seems that he wants to find the most fatal weakness of this small city in China, and then give the most hearty blow to completely smash the shell of this Chinese tortoise.

"Shigeto-kun, do you think the Shina people will shoot?" Yamashita asked coldly.

Chief of Staff Shigedo Hiromitsu Nakasa replied in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander." If I were the commander of the garrison. I will definitely order the troops to shoot. But if it is replaced by a Shina person. They didn't think they would shoot, because the people were so cowardly that they didn't realize the cruelty of war. ”

"I hope so!" Yamashita Fengwen said lightly.

What happened next, however, was far beyond Shigedo's expectations. The Chinese troops on the city walls not only fired, but also fired. I saw that the front was strafing with machine guns, and the back was bombarded with artillery. The civilians who had been forcibly driven away by the Japanese army quickly fled in all directions after being attacked, and although the Japanese shot many of them, more people escaped.

"Baga, Baga, Ya Lu!" Yamashita roared angrily, slammed the telescope on Shigeto Hiromitsu's face, and walked away.

At the head of Tianzhen City, all the officers and soldiers burst into tears, they did not expect that they would one day shoot at the fathers and villagers in their hometown, and they would shoot so hard. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, all the people's hearts were dripping blood, especially seeing that there were so many old people and children who were shot, and all the soldiers had a kind of grief that died with the Japanese army.

And Xu Jiangang bit his lips even more, and Xu Jiangang's heart died at the moment of the order. But that order had to be given, and in front of this group of Japanese beasts, it was a knot that could not be untied. If you shoot, you die, and if you don't shoot, the city will be destroyed. But Xu Jiangang knew very well that even if the city was broken, few of these ordinary people would survive, and the Japanese would not leave evidence for something like this. In addition, Xu Jiangang ordered the shooting for another reason, but he didn't plan to tell anyone about this reason, he wanted to take it into the coffin.

Without the restraint of the common people, the Japanese attack was crushed again and again by the angry defenders, and the battle lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon, when the Japanese puppet army left 17,800 corpses on the ground and withdrew.

The atmosphere in the headquarters of the 3403 regiment was extremely depressing, and the regiment commander Xu Jiangang drove everyone out of the city, and he lay on the table alone and cried loudly, his voice was sad. The deputy commander and chief of staff of the 403rd Regiment outside the regiment headquarters were also silently crying, and a large number of soldiers were also red-eyed, what happened today was beyond their imagination, and the shamelessness of the Japanese had trampled on the bottom line of these young people.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, although the sad atmosphere of the regiment headquarters still existed, Xu Jiangang had already asked the personnel of the regiment headquarters to work inside.

At this time, the radio station of the regiment headquarters suddenly sounded, and then the operator handed a telegram to Xu Jiangang's desk, and said loudly: "Report to the regimental seat, the division headquarters is calling." ”

Xu Jiangang took the telegram and looked at it, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the division has called and said that the main force of our independent seventh division has passed the Shifo Temple, and has exchanged fire with the alert troops of the Japanese Yamashita Brigade, and the Japanese army is retreating, and the army will be able to solve the danger of Tianzhen in another half an hour." ”

"Okay, his grandmother's, it's finally here, and the daylilies that Lao Tzu and others are cold!!"

"Great, we've won!!"

As soon as Xu Jiangang finished announcing the news, the entire regiment headquarters was completely upset and the soldiers finally showed smiles on their faces.

"On the auspicious day, you take the brothers of the guard company to the city gate to meet the division, and I will take care of some things and then arrive." Xu Jiangang stopped the soldiers from cheering, and then said to the deputy commander of the 403rd regiment.

Bayan Jiri did not doubt that he was there, and he took people out of the regiment headquarters very happily. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
