However, Itagaki Seishiro thought that as long as he took advantage of the victory to pursue and take Nakajo Mountain, he could force the squadron to retreat from Pingjin, and the effect was much better than directly returning to rescue Pingjin. Although the commanders of the other five divisions basically agreed with Seishiro Itagaki's opinion, if the commander of the North China Front, Shouichi Terauchi, really hung up, they would not be able to eat and walk around. Just when these little devils were in a dilemma, Hu Weidong suddenly returned from Beiping to Zhangjiakou and put on a jiashi that wanted to close the door and beat the dog, and they no longer dared to follow Itagaki to continue to disobey. Zhangjiakou is not only the transportation hub on the Pingsui line, but also the transfer point for the logistics supply of the six divisions of the Japanese army in Shanxi, once lost, the Japanese army in Shanxi will not only be cut off, but also may face the danger of running out of ammunition and food, and it is possible to be caught in the urn of the squadron, and it is possible to catch all the turtles in the squadron urn, it is also possible to catch them all, you must know that the weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone's winter clothes are still stored in the warehouse in Zhangjiakou!

Because of this, among the five divisions of Zuihou, except for the 14th Division and the headquarters of the 1st Army, which remained in Taiyuan as a symbol of the "occupation of Shanxi by the Imperial Japanese Army", the remaining four divisions all immediately returned to Zhangjiakou

However, to the relief of Seishiro Itagaki, who insisted on attacking Mt. Nakajo, the two field heavy artillery brigades belonging to the 1st Army also stayed with the headquarters, and in addition to the field heavy artillery brigade that had been assigned to the 5th Division since the beginning of the Xinkou Campaign, the other one was also temporarily strengthened by the 1st Army Headquarters to the Itagaki Division. Everyone can also share a little credit. And with a strong heavy firepower comparable to the 12th Division, although Itagaki Seishiro only had one dishonorable division under his command, he was full of confidence in taking Nakajo Mountain, and the strength of the heavy firepower was much more important than the number of infantry

At this time, the permanent strength of the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line was only a brigade of the 17th Division of the 15th Army, and the brigade commander was Fang Xianjue, who had just been poached by Hu Weidong a few months ago. This is because he didn't have any nationally famous results before. When he was there, he was just a small deputy head of the regiment, so Hu Weidong's unconventional use of him caused some criticism, and now Fang Xianjue finally waited for a great opportunity to prove his ability and Hu Weidong's knowledge!

Since it is along the railway line to the west. The squadron reached the foot of Zhangjiakou City two days earlier than the 5th Division reached Zhongtiao Mountain, and at this time, as Shang Zhen's 32nd Army went north to join the battle, the main forces of the 120th Division and the 129th Division also rushed to converge. Hu Weidong's troops are getting stronger and stronger, and the devils in Zhangjiakou City are all terrified when they look at the countless squadrons outside the city. If it was before, no matter how many Chinese these Japanese troops were, they were not afraid, but now the number of artillery, aircraft, and combat vehicles of the Japanese army is at an absolute disadvantage, and the numerical superiority of the squadron is of great significance

However, at this time, the Japanese intelligence deciphered by the telegraph operator showed that the four divisions of the devil were killed together, and the leaders of the North China General Front Committee, Shang Zhen and other generals all gasped when they heard this, and the words of the four divisions were only afraid of no less than 100,000 troops. are still the elite of the permanent division, such a hard bone, can you gnaw it?

"My suggestion is that if these four divisions come in batches, we will surround them and send reinforcements. Wrap their dumplings one by one. If they are holding a group and slowing down, we will take Zhangjiakou first! Hu Weidong's proposal was supported by the majority of the people, and Zeng Xisheng and other telecommunications experts quickly judged that the distance between the four divisions was not far from each other, and the speed of the march was not fast.

"It seems that the devil is scared by our war of annihilation!" Hu Weidong smiled proudly, and the decision to attack Zhangjiakou first was immediately conveyed as an order. But to everyone's surprise, Hu Weidong actually ordered the encirclement to be removed from the west of Zhangjiakou, and some people questioned on the spot, "In this way, we may be able to take Zhangjiakou faster, but there are also no less than one division in the city, if it merges with those four divisions, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with?" ”…,

Hu Weidong smiled incomprehensibly and said, "It's okay, as long as the devils in the city flee west, we will have the opportunity to use new tactics."

When the 16th Division was annihilated, the 15th Army's 75mm artillery shell reserves were almost completely exhausted, and this attack on Zhangjiakou, the elite artillery of the heavy artillery brigade also experienced the thrill of pouring ammunition, in just one hour, they and the heavy artillery regiment of the 115th Division fired a total of more than 5,000 rounds of artillery shells of more than 150mm caliber, almost all of the fortifications that the devils were urgently repairing outside the city, and more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the 15th Army and the Eighth Route Army attacked the city from all directions and directly attacked the important targets in the city that had already determined their positions

"I said vigorously, I heard that Commander Gao asked you to go to the Northeast by name, why don't you go?" , A special soldier asked for a long time while using the Bayi assault rifle in his hand to suppress the fire of the devils on the other side of the street.

"You can go to the Northeast at any time, the opportunity to seize the plane is gone, I heard that the devil has strengthened the protection of the airport, today may be our Zuihou once had a chance to seize the plane, after the fight, let's go to the Northeast together. If there are a few people, the big army of devils can't stop it at all, and we are not afraid of the devils in small strongholds. Xiong Dali was responsible for the point killing work, so he did not use the continuous firing function of the Bayi rifle, but after the "bang", "bang", after the gunshot, there was no bullet missing, and after a while, the team of only a platoon of special forces wiped out a devil squad that blocked them at a very small cost of a slight injury, and pounced on Zhangjiakou Airport like a tiger descending the mountain

"It is estimated that the devil is worried that the plane will be blown up by our air raid, so he actually started to build an underground hangar, and made some fake planes to put on the airport, but I didn't expect us to call so soon, and now the runway is basically blocked, and it will definitely not be cleaned up for a while, as long as we move fast enough, they don't want to fly away!" , the scout who had already sneaked into the city and observed near the airport for many days said excitedly after connecting with the special combat team.

"Great! Xiao Li sent a report to the former committee, asking the flight group to send a group of planes over to block the airspace over the airport to dispel the luck of the devil pilots. Let's go, as long as we kill the airport guards, I think we can force the devil pilots to surrender, they are not as stubborn as the devil's infantry", Xiong said vigorously, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to follow. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
