Chapter 143: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and various !! )
This kind of scoundrel and unreliable behavior of the Fourth Division not only made the 61st Army very speechless, but also made General Terauchi Shouichi, who was waiting for good news, very helpless. According to the information sent back by the accompanying puppet army, the Fourth Division was only a few small units of the Zhina, the largest of which was only one squadron, and the losses of the Eighth Wing were not very large, and the four attacks of the Zhina people only killed and wounded more than 300 people, compared with the Fourth Division, which had a total strength of more than 24,000 people, this loss was simply not worth mentioning.
However, General Terauchi Shouichi also knew that the Fourth Division of the Dao was already scattered, and the backers of this unit in the base camp were very good, even now he could not compete with that one, and in desperation, Terauchi Shouichi ordered the Fourth Division to return to Guisui immediately and serve as the garrison of Guisui, while the 26th Brigade of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army immediately took the place of the Fourth Division and attacked Jining with the assistance of a puppet infantry division.
In addition to the fact that the Fourth Division made General Terauchi very depressed, he was still very satisfied with the net set up this time, and for this reason he even boasted in his battle report to the base camp that the 61st Army would be resolved within 20 days, and the Imperial Japanese Army would celebrate the Lantern Festival in Datong City.
For General Terauchi Shouichi's optimistic attitude, the base camp is still very satisfied, at least in the eyes of the base camp, the fighting spirit of the North China Front Army is still very good. However, what happened next was far beyond the expectations of General Terauchi Shouichi and the Japanese army base camp.
During the day of January 27, a section of the railway outside the city of Beiping was blown up by the Chinese guerrillas, forcing the Japanese army to temporarily place the northbound military column in the Beiping railway station. Wait for the railway troops to rush to repair this section of the railway.
Of course, it is not uncommon for railroads to be bombed and bridges destroyed, and in the eyes of the ubiquitous Chinese guerrillas, these field targets are the most suitable to attack. Therefore, this incident did not attract the attention of the Japanese military high-level, but the railway department filed a case with the military police headquarters, and then sent people to repair it.
No one thought that that the section of the railway was not sabotaged by the guerrillas, but that Chen Feng ordered the soldiers lurking near Beiping to do it, and the purpose was to prohibit the trains in the city of Beiping from traveling to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, and he wanted to requisition these eight military trips to transport troops for himself.
Chen Feng calculated. Counting the original two trains in Zhangjiakou City. There are now ten trains at his disposal, each with more than 30 carriages, and if it is used to transport soldiers alone, it can transport 20,000 people at a time. In addition, Chen Feng now has nearly 400 cars in his hands. Each car can transport 30 people. 400 cars can transport 12,000 people.
In addition, Chen Feng has just received the news. The cavalry group captured Jiuliancheng and Guyuan last night, and now the front of the army is almost approaching the two counties of Chongli and Chicheng. As far as Chen Feng knew, the defenders of these two counties had only one infantry squadron. That could be the opponent of a cavalry group of twenty-three thousand men.
After the last surprise attack on Xilinhot, the cavalry group captured a large number of puppet troops, and after strict selection, the cavalry group has grown from more than 14,000 people to more than 23,000 people now, and there are still more than 5,000 puppet army prisoners and more than 3,000 Japanese prisoners of war in the mining field of Daqingshan.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th, with Chen Feng's order, all the soldiers of the Xinghe Garrison Brigade and the Taolin Garrison Brigade immediately pedaled the cars, and the 108 heavy artillery pieces that originally belonged to the Japanese army also brought 8 guns, and the rest were left in Zhangjiakou along with all the ammunition, and the Jining Garrison Brigade remained in Zhangjiakou at the same time.
In addition, Chen Feng also sent a telegram to the cavalry group on the way to the army, ordering them not to deal with the little devils in Chongli and Chicheng counties, and immediately bypassed these two county towns and went straight to Beiping, without worrying about the back road being cut off.
After a night of galloping, at five o'clock in the morning of the 26th, Chen Feng finally arrived at Changping, the gateway to Beiping, with the guard regiment and the Xinghe garrison brigade. Chen Feng also ignored the Taolin Garrison Brigade and the cavalry group 200 kilometers away, and as soon as the train stopped, he ordered the troops to assemble immediately, and launched an attack on Changping at half past five in the morning, and at the same time divided a part of the troops to attack Nanyuan Airport.
Changping is the northern gateway of Beiping, and it is a necessary place to pass through along with Zhangjiakou and Suiyuan, where the Japanese army stationed a whole brigade of troops. But no matter how many troops are stationed, once these soldiers think that the enemy cannot attack here, then the degree of defense can be imagined.
Chen Feng's headquarters completely occupied Changping in less than half an hour, and the defenders of a brigade were routed without organizing a single decent resistance, and the remaining half of the Japanese army broke through from the southeast of Changping in panic. Chen Feng commanded the troops to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the army drove five or six hundred Japanese troops towards Beiping City.
Beiping is the old name of the capital, after the Xinhai Revolution, the provisional government of the Republic of China set the capital of Nanjing. In March of the same year, Yuan Shikai moved the provisional government to Beijing and became the capital.
In the 17th year of the Republic of China, the National Revolutionary Army went on the Northern Expedition to attack Beijing, and Zhang Zuolin retreated outside the border. Later, it was assassinated by the Japanese Kwantung Army in Huanggutun, the Northeast changed banners, and the Beiyang government ended its operation. After the Northern Expedition, the capital of China was relocated to Nanjing. The original Jingzhao place was revoked and renamed Beiping Special City. In June of the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930), Beiping was downgraded to a municipality under the jurisdiction of Hebei Province, and in December of the same year, it was re-promoted to a municipality under the jurisdiction of the hospital. During this period, Beijing, although it did not have the status of the capital, still had a key advantage in education, and was known to international people as "China's Boston". After the 77 Incident in the 26th year of the Republic of China, Beiping was occupied by the Japanese army, and Beiping was renamed Beijing.
Changping is less than ten kilometers away from Beiping City, so when the battle started, the Japanese troops in Beiping City heard the movement, and soon a sharp alarm sounded in the city, and all the Japanese troops were pulled up from their beds.
Before General Terauchi Shouichi woke up, he was called by Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, who came in a hurry, but as a senior commander, General Terauchi Shouichi knew that if it wasn't for something particularly important, Naosaburo Okabe would not risk being scolded by himself to disturb him.
Besides, the sound of guns outside the city just got up and caught his attention, and after Lieutenant General Naosaburo of the post department finished talking about the situation, General Terauchi Shouichi was completely stunned, how could the people of China suddenly appear outside Beiping City, how did they do it, are they really heavenly soldiers?
"Gangbu Jun, how could the Zhina army appear outside Beiping City, and how many troops do they have in total?" General Shouichi Terauchi asked urgently while getting dressed.
"Your Excellency, Commander, due to insufficient information, I can't judge for the time being how the people of China suddenly appeared in Beiping. However, according to the reports of the Changping defenders who fled back to the city, the number of the Chinese army was extremely large, and there were at least two infantry divisions, in addition to a large number of artillery units. ”
Before Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe finished speaking, a big Zuo hurriedly ran in and said: "Your Excellency Commander, there is a call from Nanyuan Airport, ten minutes ago they were suddenly attacked by the army of China, and the defenders were taken by surprise and suffered extremely heavy losses. In addition, half of the 85 warplanes parked at Nanyuan Airport were destroyed, and the rest were urgently lifted into the air, requesting immediate and strong support from the headquarters. ”
"Support, must support, Nanyuan Airport is the most important airport of our army, where not only so many planes are parked, but also a large amount of fuel is stored, if it is destroyed by the Chinese people, all the vehicles of our army will lose power, without fuel, our army's combat vehicles and tanks will become a pile of scrap iron, so no matter what, Nanyuan Airport can not fall into the hands of the Chinese people." General Shouichi Terauchi said hurriedly.
"Your Excellency Commander, we already have no mobile troops to deploy, although there is now a wing of field troops in the city, and there are two brigades of military police, plus Your Excellency's guard troops, adding up to only more than 7,000 people, after being assigned to the various city gates and city walls in Beiping, there is not much left, how can there be extra troops to support Nanyuan Airport." Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe said loudly.
"Baga, what should I do, do you just watch the people of China occupy Nanyuan Airport?" General Shouichi Terauchi said angrily.
"Your Excellency Commander, the most important thing for us now is to hold Beiping City, once Beiping is not protected, you and I will become the second Lianzhao Pan." Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe reminded.
Okabe Naosaburo's reminder made General Terauchi Shouichi stunned, and then sat down on the ground dejectedly, yes, now Beiping City is in danger, how can you still have the energy to manage Nanyuan Airport. If Beiping City is not broken, then it is fine, once the city is broken, Lian Zhaopan's unlucky bastard is a living example.
"Order: Major General Kawabe Shozo is in charge of the defense of Beiping City, and mobilizes troops to rely on the fortifications of the city to resist the attack of the Chinese army. Order: The Yamashita Brigade and the 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade immediately returned to Beiping to attack the back of the Chinese army. Order: The Sasaki Brigade stationed in Tianjin immediately reinforced Beiping. In addition, he sent a telegram to Lieutenant General Chun of the harem army stationed in Mongolia, urging them to immediately send the main force to attack Jining and force the Chinese army outside Beiping to return for reinforcements. "Shouichi Terauchi gave four orders in a row.
"Hay!"
However, as soon as the order was given, the battle took a new turn, and a staff officer hurriedly ran in and said: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander, that the siege of the Chinese army is armed with large-caliber heavy artillery and is bombarding the West Gate. ”
"Nani, heavy artillery? How can the people have heavy artillery, do you see clearly? General Shouichi Terauchi said angrily.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, it is clear to me that the people of China are indeed armed with at least one brigade of heavy artillery, and the sound should be 105mm howitzers and 150mm cannons made in the Empire."
"Nani, are you sure?" General Shouichi Terauchi asked in a trembling voice.
"Hay!" (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
