Chapter 3: The Decisive Battle of Changping (15)
During the First Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, in addition to being completely suppressed in the face of the 29th Army's broadsword team, the Japanese army was most proud of its white-edged tactics. Often, one devil dares to single-handedly take on three soldiers of the national army, and he can firmly gain the upper hand. This, on the one hand, is certainly related to the Japanese elite military policy, and every active soldier has undergone strict screening and training; On the one hand, it is because the national army is uneven and the equipment is extremely backward. Often, under the bombing and shelling of the Japanese army, most of the morale of the participating national armies has been lost, and in this case, they are naturally defeated in a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army.
Suzuki participated in the First Great Wall War of Resistance, and it was because of his martial arts in the Battle of Nantianmen that he was able to quickly rise through the ranks, becoming a junior officer at the age of less than twenty-five. The memories left by Xu is the first Battle of the Great Wall are too exciting and beautiful, and this time, Suzuki once participated in the war with the idea that he could be promoted to several levels after the war. However, just like the bull market and bear market in the stock market, this time, the entire operational plan of the Japanese army collapsed as if it had encountered a bear market, and the most unfortunate of them were the 108th Division and the 9th Division.
The Ninth Division doesn't talk about him, so far, the 18th Brigade has a brigade headquarters left, and the 6th Brigade has also rubbed the iron plate of the Second Special Police Column, and now it can be said that there is no morale at all. What about the 108th Division? Although they have not suffered any major setbacks so far, the burden on their bodies is not much lighter than that of the Ninth Division. Because, objectively speaking, this is an establishment that should already be delisted.
When the 8th Division was transferred to the 108th Division, all the officers and men, including Suzuki, were instilled with the concept that the 108th Division was also composed of the 8th Division as the backbone, but they had already smeared the military flag of the 108th Division and the 8th Division.
Although the 108th Division was deliberately concealed by the Japanese military headquarters and the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Suzuki, as a junior officer, had more or less heard of some real situations. At first, he was extremely skeptical. After all, the former 108th Division was composed of elite officers and soldiers selected from the 8th Division plus reserve officers and soldiers specially prepared for the 8th Division. The division regiment in this form of organization is at least a B-level division, and for the people of China, it can also be used as one for two. In other words, the previous 108th Division was worth at least four divisions of the Chinese army. And if you want to encircle and annihilate such a division, from the perspective of military common sense of "ten rules of encirclement", then the Chinese army participating in the Battle of Tianjin should have forty divisions - Suzuki was entangled in this issue for a while, and then it was not until he personally saw the combat power of the Xuebing Army at Xifengkou that he realized that the army that the empire was facing in North China was no longer the same as the national army that it encountered for the first time.
Next, the 108th Division moved to several places, and the more the battle was fought, the more passive and aggrieved it became, and Suzuki Shaozo was more and more uncertain about the outcome of the Second Battle of the Great Wall. And he chose to launch a hand-to-hand combat charge in the face of the independent brigade chariot unit that rushed up, so to speak, he was already disappointed in himself and this unit.
"When fighting a war with the Japanese, you must be prepared for accidents at any time," this sentence was naturally said by the little commander, and the one who was fortunate enough to listen to this classic argument happened to be Geng Changshu, the commander of today's chariot regiment. The commander of the Independent Brigade Chariot Regiment was originally another candidate, and the reason why Geng Changshu was fortunate to sit in this position was because his predecessor had been asked by Hou Debang because of his background in Tsinghua Engineering. I heard that Director Hou was recently developing a new type of weapon, and his predecessor had just published an article related to it in a military newspaper not long ago, so he was selected and transformed from a military general into a civilian official.
It was precisely because he had the words of the little chief in his mind that Geng Changshu did not feel a little surprised in the face of the devil who pounced on the chariot with a bayonet. Through the peephole, he clearly saw that the first person to jump out of the trench was actually a young man, he sneered and shouted in the walkie-talkie: "The little devil is crazy, isn't this looking for death?" Heavy, hit me hard, don't be afraid of Lang Bullets! Then, he instructed the driver of his command car, saying: "Speed up a little, there are no bombs on these devils, run over!" ”
"Yes!" As the driver stepped on the accelerator, a puff of black smoke suddenly appeared from the butt of the Jiguang LC tank, and then, the steel monster suddenly jumped from a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour to a speed of 65 kilometers per hour, and suddenly soared out of the air. The distance of about 30 meters is too short for a Jiguang LC tank with an average speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and it only takes one sprint to pass. In front of this tank numbered 0111, two devils who had just gritted their teeth and rushed out of the trench looked up and saw a huge black shadow pressing over, one of them was so frightened that he immediately fell back into the trench, and the other bravely raised his gun to shoot, and what was waiting for him was the ruthlessness of steel and the heaviness of a mountain.
It was a one-sided battle, and although the Japanese army, who had no anti-tank preparation, organized death squads and launched a charge, this only hastened their destruction.
In the second trench, Major General Nagahiro Mitsunao, the brigade commander of the 25th Brigade who personally pressed the formation, saw all this through the telescope, and only scolded hatefully: "Stupid! And he didn't give a damn about it anymore.
Maybe it's not that he's disdainful, but he doesn't have time to care about the life or death of that brigade - because the facts have proved that cannons with a caliber of less than 150 mm can't shake the tanks of the Cadet Army at all, and the Japanese army, which was only preparing for the attack, did not distribute enough anti-tank weapons, so the current Hisahiro Mitsunao can only rely on some local methods to block this steel torrent. With the 108th Engineer Wing as the mainstay, supplemented by the 108th Heavy Infantry Wing, now, the devils of the two wings are stepping up digging trenches, wanting to open an anti-tank trench to block the tanks of the Cadet Army. The rest of the combat units, except for the rest of the 25th Brigade, were preparing for battle, and the 104th Brigade and the rest of the 9th Division were on their way to the Wangjiawei area.
Since the defeat in the air battle, Shimoto Kumaya and Yoshizu Ryosuke have calculated the next combat plan of the Cadet Army. After calculation, the two old devils finally decided that Xiong Mi Xia Yuan would personally stay behind to command the 25th Brigade to block the Xuebing Army in Changping City, and the rest of the troops would attack Wangjiawei under the unified command of Yoshizu Ryosuke. Their idea is very simple but very sinister, since you Ouyang Yun want to swallow us, then why don't we swallow your part in Wangjiawei?
By this time, the danger of the decisive battle in Changping was truly reflected.
