With mental calculations or unintentionalities, this heavy artillery unit of the Japanese army entered Zhangjiakou City without the protection of ground troops, which undoubtedly gave Chen Feng a great opportunity. Half an hour later, more than 3,800 people, including the brigade commander Lieutenant General Tsubasa Ueda, were killed, and all the others became prisoners of Chen Feng.

However, after interrogating the prisoners, Chen Feng got the news that he didn't know whether he was happy or worried, and the ground protection unit of the Japanese army's field heavy artillery brigade was not one wing, but two. Now the two infantry wings are marching by car along the road from Beiping to Zhangjiakou, and they will arrive at Zhangjiakou in another hour at most.

The casualties of the troops were not large, but they could not withstand the rapid march for several days, and the soldiers were mainly mentally exhausted. After two nights of long-distance running, plus tonight's night of fighting, all the soldiers are already exhausted, if it is one wing, it is fine, if it is two wings, it is really not easy to pack up. The casualties of the troops who eliminated the Japanese troops defending the city and the half of the brigade that took the train were actually very limited, although the casualties of each unit have not yet had time to be counted, but Chen Feng judged that it should not exceed 100 people.

But at this point, no matter what, we must hold on, isn't it just two wings, the troops have even killed the heavy artillery units, are you still afraid of these two infantry wings without heavy weapons support, besides, there are three brigades and a guard regiment in Zhangjiakou City, the total strength is nearly ten times that of the Japanese army. If you don't eat the meat that is delivered to your door, you will be damned.

At half past eight in the morning, a huge convoy suddenly appeared in the south of Zhangjiakou City, and the soldiers defending the city immediately reported to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng, who received the report, immediately took Ma Cao and others to meet the Japanese army outside the city, and when he came to the city gate, Chen Feng saw a convoy with no end in sight approaching Zhangjiakou City rapidly, and the dust rolled up was clearly seen ten miles away.

"Are you all ready?" Chen Feng whispered to Wang Hansheng and the others next to him.

"Don't worry, the military seat, everything is ready, as long as the little devils dare to enter the city, to ensure that they can't get in or out, two brigades plus a regiment of guards have already set up pocket formations around them. All the commanding heights are in our hands. Once the fight starts, it takes up to an hour to resolve the battle. Wang Hansheng replied.

"That's good! Ma Cao and I will go down first, you all go and prepare! Chen Feng said.

Seeing Chen Feng and others at the gate of the city, the commander of the Japanese convoy, Ozawa Kumano Daisa, ordered the convoy to stop more than 20 meters away from Chen Feng and others, and then quickly got out of the car and walked over with a few adjutants.

saw Chen Feng wearing a military uniform. Ozawa Kumano said coldly: "We are from the 4th Brigade of the Heavy Artillery of the Kwantung Army. I'm Ozawa Kumano. Your Excellency the Brigade Commander must have arrived, right? ”

"Welcome to Ozawa-kun, His Excellency Lieutenant General Matsuda has been in the city for two hours, and is now resting at the military police headquarters. Due to the limited space in the city. There is no parking lot that can accommodate so many vehicles, so hopefully Ozawa-kun orders your convoy to park just outside the city while the troops go into the city to rest and eat. In addition, Your Excellency the General is waiting for you at the Gendarmerie Headquarters, please come with me! Chen Feng said.

Ozawa Kumano also knew that there was no place for more than 300 cars to park in the city, so he readily agreed to Chen Feng's proposal.

For the same reason as fooling the Japanese troops at the train station, Chen Feng ordered a battalion of troops to quickly surround the entire parking lot, in the name of taking care of the weapons and equipment of the Fourth Brigade from afar, so that all the soldiers could eat a hot meal as soon as possible.

After the main officers of these two wings followed in the footsteps of their brigade commanders, the infantry of the entire two wings also entered the pocket formation set up by Chen Feng's headquarters. With Wang Hansheng's order, I saw that the doors and windows of the shops on both sides of the street suddenly opened wide, revealing the muzzles of black holes, and the machine gun positions arranged on the roofs of residential buildings were also disguished

The battle did not go as smoothly as Wang Hansheng expected, although the command of the senior officers was lost, the infantry of these two wings fought very bravely, preferring to die rather than surrender, and the more than 3,000 Japanese troops captured before were simply two extremes. The battle lasted until half past ten in the morning, when the 61st Army completely annihilated these two wings, and only less than 300 prisoners of the more than 7,400 Japanese troops were killed. However, the 61 st Army, on the premise of taking advantage of the favorable time, place, people, and other factors, launched a sudden attack, and the final result was that it completely annihilated this field heavy artillery brigade at the cost of more than 2,700 casualties, which gave Chen Feng a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army's field artillery units.

Just when Chen Feng was in Zhangjiakou to invite Jun into the urn Dafa to severely beat the Japanese army's field heavy artillery brigade, the 222nd Division in Jining also began to carry out the trick of luring the enemy into the depths in accordance with Chen Feng's instructions, and was ready to attack the Japanese Fourth Division.

In the face of the huge number of Japanese puppet troops, Li Yifeng decided to adopt the strategy of blocking the advance of the Japanese army with small troops and killing and wounding a large number of Japanese troops, so as to provoke the main force of the Japanese army, and then let the Japanese fourth division go deep alone. At the same time, Li Yifeng secretly arranged the main force of the 222nd Division on the mountain road along the line through which the Japanese army passed, and after the main force of the Fourth Division entered this big pocket, the whole army immediately launched an attack, so that the Japanese army did not know how many people would die in the panic, even if it could not completely annihilate this Japanese army, but there was no problem at all in defeating this Japanese puppet army.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and no matter how good the plan is, it can't catch up with the changes. After being repeatedly blocked by the small troops of the 222nd Division, in view of the heavy casualties of the troops, the Eighth Wing, which served as the vanguard of the Fourth Division, decisively chose to stop advancing, and then quickly returned to Zhuozi County in the stunned expressions of Li Yifeng and others, so that the faces of all the high-ranking members of the 222nd Division, who had been preparing for several days, suddenly turned blue, as if they had been trampled by tens of thousands of grass and mud horses overnight.

It's not been a day or two since I dealt with the little devils, but Li Yifeng and the others have never seen such a speechless Japanese army. In the past, the harder you fought those Japanese troops, the more crazy they became, and the more they wanted to fight you to the death. However, this Fourth Division did not seem to have such a habit, and the spirit of bushido, which other units of the Japanese army believed in, did not seem to exist here, and as soon as they suffered a slight setback, they decisively chose to retreat, which surprised all the officers and men of the 222nd Division who were not familiar with their combat methods, and even Liu Yifei and others thought that their ambush plan had been leaked.

After the news reached Zhangjiakou, Chen Feng also smiled bitterly, this fourth division is really unreliable, and it doesn't play cards according to common sense at all. However, Chen Feng, who knew the history of the Fourth Division, was not as out of shape as Li Yifeng and others, and retreating from the battlefield was just the style that this army had always had. It was not a problem with the 222nd Division's operational planning.

The unreliability of the 4th Division was notoriously in the Japanese battle sequence. This can be seen in the way they speak differently from other troops. Although the Fourth Division is said to be a nest, it is a first-class division after all, and there are many veterans. Due to the heavy combat losses of the Japanese army, it was urgent to replenish the veterans. From time to time, officers and men of the Fourth Division were transferred to other divisions and regiments. Then. The parting speeches of each unit of the Japanese army have their own characteristics. For example, the second division, when the battle situation is good, it is said that "the military luck is long"; When things aren't right, say "Kudanzakami" (Note 1). However, when the officers and men of the Fourth Division said goodbye, they often said "the great cut of the imperial body". Translated, it means "take care of your body", "body first", or simply "life is the most important".

Today's incident may seem normal to the soldiers of the Fourth Division, you must know that even the Fourth Division two years later is still such a bird's virtue. In 1939, when the Soviet Union and Japan fought in the Nomenkan area on the Sino-Mongolian border, the Kwantung Army ordered the Osaka and Sendai divisions stationed in the northern part of the puppet state of Manchukuo to urgently mobilize to reinforce the front line. After receiving the order, the Sendai Division (i.e., the 2nd Division) forcibly marched from Hailar to Nomenkan for 4 days, and entered the battle on the day of arrival on the battlefield, but was soon defeated by the Soviet army. On the contrary, the order for the dispatch of the 4th Division was issued, but it was delayed. The reason is that after the mobilization order was issued, there was a surge in the number of sick patients in the division and regiment, and as far as the eye could see, the battalion was full of officers and soldiers who asked to stay behind for various reasons. The excited Japanese wing commander was furious and personally sat in the infirmary to participate in the diagnosis, and only then did he reluctantly organize the troops to march to the front line, and the joke that "the wing commander changed his career to become a doctor" also spread among the Japanese army.

However, the matter did not end, and the soldiers of the 4th Division played a new trick - passive sabotage. From Hailar to Nomenkan, the 2nd Division walked for 4 days, but the 4th Division walked for 8 days, and a large number of personnel were left behind. Coincidentally, on the day that the advance team of the 4th Division arrived at the front, the Soviet Union and Japan declared an armistice. When the news came, the officers and men of the Fourth Division who had fallen behind quickly followed as if they had taken a strong pill, and even many of the officers and men who stayed behind rushed to the front line "sick," while complaining with great regret that they had no chance to fight a battle.

Ironically, on the way back, the 4th Division, which was fully manned and full of spirit, became the most formidable unit in the Japanese army, while the 2nd Division, which was the first to arrive at the battlefield, lost its armor and was full of wounded soldiers. The officer in charge of news and propaganda of the Kwantung Army really couldn't look past it, so he picked up his pen and changed the headline of the news "My Invincible Imperial Army's Fourth Division Returns with Might" submitted for review by the Japanese army newspaper to "I Returned with Strength Without Injury to the Fourth Division of the Imperial Army," and ridiculed this "soft egg" unit in a roundabout way.

Just like this time, despite all the foreign appearances, the 4th Division had quite good luck. If it weren't for the Eighth Wing retreating from the battle this time, and then quickly withdrawing to Zhuozi County, Chen Feng could imagine that under the crushing of the main force of the 222nd Division, there would still be a few people left in the Fourth Division, and it would be possible for the entire army to be annihilated. But in any case, this unreliable Fourth Division once again relied on their unreliable style to escape a catastrophe, which also made Chen Feng, a Chinese general, look down on the Japanese army.

(Note 1: "Kudanzakami" is the most common phrase used by Japanese soldiers when they are separated, because the Yasukuni Shrine is in Kudanzaka, Tokyo, so the meaning of this sentence is Yasukuni Shrine to see death.) (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
