Although the Japanese base camp has issued an order that at least one brigade of defenders must be left around the airport, but now Zhangjiakou is besieged by the enemy's heavy troops, and the Japanese army is overstretched, and there is no large group of enemy troops near the airport, so the Chahar Dispatch Corps Headquarters naturally started the idea of drawing troops from the airport (including other important strongholds far away from the front line), although the defenders of a brigade are the bottom line that must be guaranteed, but there are policies and countermeasures, and these 1,500 people are a brigade. 500 people is also a brigade! And the elite veterans even pulled out ten, and as a result, Xiong Dali's special operations platoon with a total of only 50 people was beaten up, and after losing more than 200 people, together with the pilots in the airport, a total of thousands of people all surrendered to the special operations platoon, of course, this is not all Xiong Dali's credit, the black press group that flew in the sky at the right time, the effect may be greater

Almost at the same time, because most of the personnel of the special operations brigade were withdrawn, and the captain Xu Chengji also followed the old chief Gao Jingting to the northeast, and Long Feibao, who returned to the special operations brigade of the 15th Army as the captain, also took the more defended Japanese ammunition depot with only one platoon

It is said that Long Feibao was transferred from the special operations team by Hu Weidong mainly because he was not good at camouflage and deception, and he has not been able to learn Japanese very well, but when it comes to the ability to lead the team to fight, even Hu Weidong may not be able to compare with him.

And Long Feibao's cousin, who served as a guard for Taizu and Zhou Gong successively, and was transferred to the special operations brigade to study after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Long Feihu, a sharpshooter and kung fu expert, also performed well. led the troops to take down the devil's clothing and grain warehouse in Zhangjiakou. At this point, the three locations in Zhangjiakou City, which may not be the most important, but certainly the most difficult to receive completely, were taken by the special combat team without any damage, and Xiong Dali, Long Feibao, Long Feihu and Wang Zicai, who had been sent to the northeast by Hu Weidong before, continued to create legends in the subsequent War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and were called the four "king of soldiers" among the Chinese by the soldiers who worshiped heroes, and gave them nicknames - "jackal", "bear", "tiger", and "leopard"

The outer defenses were constantly broken through by enemy forces, and important facilities such as airfields and ammunition depots in the city were also occupied by squadrons that appeared out of nowhere. Major General Yukio Kasahara, commander of the Chahar Corps of the Kwantung Army, was suddenly confused. He had just taken office, and he had no previous experience in commanding a large army, so he was unable to control the entire army under such tremendous pressure. In a panic, he asked Tianjin for help and was reprimanded (how could he sacrifice the great future of Shouichi Terauchi to save you, a major general?) Seeing that the lonely city was difficult to defend, he had to lead the army to break through to the west. As long as it converges with those 4 field divisions, it may not be possible to snatch Zhangjiakou back! But what he never expected was that as soon as they joined up with the 109th Division, more than 100 Chinese planes flew over their heads, and they inflicted great damage on the Japanese troops with the cluster bombs that were newly equipped with the troops, and at the same time, the armored brigade of the 15 th Army also suddenly killed, and nearly 200 tanks and armored vehicles rushed towards the Japanese officers and soldiers who were still busy evading the bombing of the planes like a raging flood

Originally, if it was just a tank armored vehicle, the devil could still rely on anti-armor weapons such as anti-aircraft guns, or even suicide attacks to slow down the advance of the armored torrent. But the problem is that now the planes in the sky are staring at it, and as soon as there are devils operating the anti-aircraft guns, they will be bombed immediately, and most of the devils are habitually dodging the bombs dropped by the planes, so how can they stop nearly 200 tanks just by relying on the spontaneous scattered suicide attacks of some fanatical Japanese officers and soldiers? As a result, the Japanese army, which numbered more than 40,000 people, was simply crushed. And the armored brigade, which had achieved an initial victory, did not stop and continued to advance into the depth of the enemy's troops. Drive the devil rout all the way to the west, "Don't worry about the flanks, the brother troops will soon follow, we just need to move forward, forward, and forward, whoever blocks us will crush them flat!" ”…,

Just when the armored brigade was rushing forward. However, the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line is undergoing the most intense artillery bombardment in the history of Chinese soil, and the firepower of the two field heavy artillery brigades is really extraordinary, which accounts for almost 40% of the number of heavy artillery in the Japanese army, especially the 240mm heavy howitzers, which are completely devoid of people and animals after one shot. However, Fang Xianjue, who was bent on proving himself, although he had no battle to fight in the previous months, he had been working hard to repair the fortifications, and did not waste even a little time, the tunnel system of Zhongtiao Mountain had been initially perfected before the war, and played a great role in the battle, greatly reducing the casualties of the troops. In the battle, Fang Xianjue usually let the troops be in the back, and after the enemy's artillery was finished, he quickly advanced through the tunnel to the position to hold on, while the devil couldn't see the movement of the defenders outside at all, in fact, most of the time he was just frantically wasting shells against the position where there was no one at all

The news of the loss of Zhangjiakou undoubtedly gave Itagaki Seishiro a blow to the head, knowing that he had little time and had to let the infantry appear in advance, but the terrain of Zhongtiao Mountain was inherently very unfavorable for the army from the north to attack south, not to mention that there were already preparations for the advanced fortifications and Fang Xianjue, a future famous general who was good at defending, and the 5th Division, which had already lost a lot of troops, had to work hard to eat milk, but it still couldn't take a step beyond the thunder pool, and what was even worse was that Itagaki didn't have much time. The anxious Itagaki Seishiro soon sent a telegram asking Taiyuan for help, but was not only reprimanded and refused, but also greatly increased the confidence of the defenders who had learned this information by deciphering the telegram, and the offensive of the 5th Division naturally became more and more unsustainable

At this time, the armored brigade of the 15 th Army, which was assaulting all the way to the depth of the devil, encountered a lot of trouble, and the Japanese Type 95 light tanks, Soviet-made T26 light tanks, and those armored vehicles with excellent stability were in good condition, but the Japanese Type 89 medium combat vehicles, which had always had a high failure rate, continued to break down and needed to be stopped for maintenance from time to time, which seriously affected the advance speed of the armored brigade.

"No, if this continues, the quick cut required by the commander will not be completed." As the commander of the first regiment of the assault arrow tank, Du Yang is now more anxious than anyone else, after hearing that a Type 89 tank could not be repaired immediately, he bit his lower lip and resolutely ordered, "Regardless of it, the whole regiment continues to break into the depth of the Japanese army!" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
