Chapter 31: The Soil Dog Bomb of the Battle of Xinghe County

When the Seventh Army's good news arrived in the Second Theater, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater, was in a meeting. To tell the truth, during this period of time, the whole of China, except for Chairman Chiang in Nanjing, counted this old man the most bitter.

This old man will Shanxi is his own private property, in the eyes of this old man, the world and the earth are the largest in Shanxi, as long as no one hits his idea of Shanxi, it doesn't matter if he is Japanese or Jiang, what do you like.

But after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, not only did the Japanese send troops to attack Shanxi, but even Chiang Kai-shek had to send troops to Shanxi to fight.

Yan Xishan studied in Japan and was once a classmate of several famous senior officers in the Japanese army, such as Seishiro Itagaki and others. So at this time, the old man still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, hoping to compromise with the Japanese army. Therefore, when the Japanese army attacked Tianzhen, he actually sent a secret envoy of the puppet Mongolian army Li Shouxin to meet quietly, asking Li Shouxin to deal with the Japanese army for him, hoping that the Japanese army would bypass Shanxi and invade other provinces, so that Yan would be a complete egg under a dangerous rock.

But the Japanese heart of the Chinese is not a small warlord can be controlled, the result is that the Japanese army attacked Tianzhen more fiercely, and at the same time, his old classmate Itagaki Seishiro led a detachment of partial divisions south to Weixian and Laiyuan, and captured Guangling and Lingqiu with lightning speed, threatening Niangziguan and Xinkou.

Yan Xishan was most worried about the morale of the Chinese army, including the Jin Sui Army, during this period the Japanese army sang all the way, even under most of North China, whether it was the 29th Route Army reorganized from the original Northwest Army or the 13th Army of the Central Army, after fighting with the Japanese army, they all lost their cities and lost their troops and lost their generals, and many senior officers were frightened by the strength of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army often fled in despair, and their morale was extremely low.

As a veteran who has been in the army for decades, Yan Xishan knows better than anyone the importance of morale. He urgently needs a big victory to boost morale, but since the war started for more than a month, the Chinese army has not even won a big victory, not even a draw for self-preservation, which makes Yan Xishan helpless.

"Report, the Seventh Army is in an emergency!" A major officer hurriedly ran in and said.

"What's wrong, is Tianzhen lost?" Yan Xishan asked in surprise.

"Report to the big handsome, it's not that Tianzhen is lost, but a big victory. This morning, the security regiment attacked again and attacked the artillery position of the Japanese army in the county seat of Tianzhen, completely annihilating two Japanese artillery brigades and an infantry squadron, killing more than 1,300 Japanese soldiers and destroying 24 Japanese large-caliber artillery, forcing the Japanese army attacking Tianzhen to divide its troops north. The major officer reported loudly.

"What are you talking about, a security regiment wiped out two Japanese artillery brigades?" The old man was clearly not convinced.

"It's true, it's a telegram sent by Commander Fu himself."

"Are you sure it was Yisheng who sent the telegram himself?"

"Yes, at the same time, Commander Fu also said that the artillery of the Japanese Chahar Corps is temporarily disabled, and the 61st Army is confident that it will defend for more than ten days, please rest assured."

"Hahaha, this security regiment is amazing, pass on the Russian order: This Xinghe County security regiment will be immediately upgraded to the 7th Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army, and the former head of the security regiment will be promoted to the commander of the major general, with a reward of 20,000 yuan, and at the same time 1,000 new rifles will be allocated to the 7th Brigade of the Du. After finishing speaking, Yan Xishan said: "Immediately send a report to Nanjing, saying that our Jin Sui Army organized a small-scale counterattack last night, killed and wounded more than 5,000 Japanese puppet soldiers, and the Xinghe County Security Regiment of the headquarters broke into the Japanese artillery position, completely annihilated a Japanese artillery wing, and killed more than 2,000 Japanese officers."

Chen Feng is on fire, although he himself is not very clear, but whether it is Taiyuan or Nanjing, people are talking about a name today, that is Chen Feng, a newly promoted anti-Japanese general.

On the same day, the Central Daily, Ta Kung Pao, and many newspapers all published in detail the relevant contents of the Tianzhen victory, although most of the contents were praising the great Chairman Chiang and the commander of the Second World War Zone, Yan Xishan, and Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the Seventh Army, but no matter which newspaper did not forget Chen Feng, the head of the security regiment, and for a time the name Chen Feng resounded all over the country.

After receiving the telegram from the headquarters of the Seventh Group Army, Chen Feng smiled and said: "Hold on for eight hours and give a brigade commander, if this commander completely annihilates this infantry wing, will Commander Fu be our division commander." ”

Listening to Chen Feng's words, Li Wensheng said in surprise: "Commander, you won't really fight the idea of the infantry wing of the little devil, right?" ”

has been partnering with Chen Feng for so long, and Li Wensheng can still guess a little bit about the young commander's thoughts.

"Why, can't you?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"It's not that it can't, but now the Japanese army has more than 5,000 people, and we only have more than 3,000 people, and the difference in strength is extremely large, and there is no chance of winning this battle at all." Li Wensheng hurriedly said.

"Fart, why don't you have a chance of winning, isn't it just the 5,000-day puppet army, that little devil's infantry wing is indeed a little tricky, as for the cavalry division of the puppet army, hmph, fighting in this terrain, the cavalry is a live target. And that bullshit cavalry division only has more than 1,500 people, and it is easy for Lao Tzu to eat him. Besides, this commander didn't plan to swallow the more than 5,000-day puppet army in one go, and our security regiment didn't have such a good appetite and couldn't digest it. Chen Feng said.

"And what is the Commander going to do?"

"According to the original plan, block the attack step by step, and then set up a pocket array under Xinghe City to encircle and annihilate the invading enemy." Chen Feng said.

"Report to the commander, the artillery battalion has already taken out the Japanese artillery, and the two attacks of the Japanese army have been repelled by the third battalion." The operator reported.

"Okay, let Wang Hansheng continue to beat Lao Tzu hard, only by beating this group of dogs can they arouse their ferocity, only the ferocious beasts will lose their minds, and the hunters will have a chance."

Honda United Temporary Command.

Honda Dasa's mood was extremely angry, just now the troops launched two attacks were defeated by the Chinese people, not to mention the loss of troops, even the only artillery squadron in the wing headquarters was also killed by the Chinese artillery, and the soldiers of an artillery squadron only survived more than 30 people, and all of them were wounded.

"Sasaki, let the seventh and eighth squadrons attack, you personally lead the team, if you can't fight, you don't come back." Shinichi Honda coldly ordered.

"Hay!"

As soon as Sasaki Shaosa came out, Takahashi Shaosa, chief of staff of the Honda Wing, spoke: "Wing Commander, this branch of the army is extremely strong in combat, Sasaki may not be able to attack it, and we have lost artillery support." ”

"Baga, what is so strong, I have just gone to the forward position to observe, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is not necessarily how strong, their soldiers do not look like veterans with rich combat experience, but very much like recruits who have just joined the army."

"Nani, but according to the report of the Takagi brigade, the soldiers of Shina have accurate marksmanship and a strong will to fight, and they do not look like recruit troops." Takahashi Shaosa Road.

"That's because he didn't observe carefully, just now I observed from the telescope, the actions of the soldiers in China are jerky, and many people don't seem to have been on the battlefield, and they don't even understand some of the most basic common sense, this is not like an old army that has been fighting all year round, but the quality of the soldiers in China is indeed very good, although it is not as good as our Imperial Japanese Army, but it is much stronger than the government army of China. Moreover, the commander of this army was very methodical in arranging his troops, and the positions on the two flanks and the line of defense in the middle corresponded to each other, one of which was attacked, and the other two could be reinforced. In addition, the fortifications of the Chinese army are very peculiar, and the light and heavy weapons are also very reasonable, I really don't know how such a force appeared behind the imperial army. "Shinichi Honda.

"Does the Sasaki brigade have a chance of winning?"

"Hmph, if you can't fight it, leave your corpse on the battlefield, the Great Japanese Empire doesn't need cowards." Shinichi Honda said coldly.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Aerial bombs continued to fall on the position, although the artillery of the Honda Wing was wiped out, but the Japanese army transferred planes to assist in the battle, and more than a dozen combat vehicles cooperated with the infantry attack.

After a morning of fighting, most of the fortifications previously built by the three battalions had been destroyed. Although it repelled two Japanese attacks, its own casualties were not small.

After the bombing by the Japanese planes, under the cover of more than a dozen tanks, the devils of the two squadrons launched an attack on the frontal position of the third battalion.

The poignant whistle of "beep" suddenly sounded from the positions of the Chinese troops.

"Battalion commander, it's the whistle, the little devil is coming," said a small soldier in the anti-artillery hole.

"Brothers, the little devils are coming up again, and immediately enter into their respective positions." Wang Hansheng ordered loudly.

"Yes," everyone replied aloud.

"Battalion commander, four hundred meters"

"Battalion commander, three hundred meters"

"Battalion commander, two hundred meters"

When the Japanese army entered the position of the third battalion for 200 meters, Wang Hansheng gave the order to open fire, and at the same time used his shell gun to pull the trigger.

"Da Da Da"

With Wang Hansheng's order, the three positions of the Shifo Temple opened fire at the same time, and dozens of light and heavy machine guns sprayed hateful bullets at the Japanese army.

After a violent explosion, a heavy machine gun not far from Wang Hansheng was destroyed by a Japanese tank.

"It's the devil's Iron King Eight, a company commander, blow it up for Lao Tzu!"

"Yes"

"Let the Dog Go"

Suddenly, more than a dozen earth dogs suddenly sprang out from the positions of the Chinese army, and in the surprised expressions of the Japanese soldiers, these earth dogs quickly approached the Japanese tank.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed Japanese soldier shouted: "Dynamite pack dynamite pack"

At this time, everyone found out that the dogs were all strapped to explosives, and the Japanese soldiers who followed the chariot hurriedly shot at the dogs, hoping to kill them.

However, the earth dog is small and fast, and it is easy to be killed in a hurry. Only one of the more than a dozen dogs was killed on the way to run, and the rest all approached the Japanese tank.

After approaching the chariot, the earth dog quickly got under the chariot, and then lay down and did not move, and soon an explosion sounded from the bottom of the chariot, and more than a dozen Japanese chariots were blown up.
