240 Yoshio Shinozuka: Swear to live and die with Jinyang
"How is this possible, how is this possible?" When the cannon sounded, Yoshio Shinozuka was awakened and muttered with disbelief on his face.
However, Yoshio Shinozuka is also a veteran of the battlefield, so he endured it without spurting blood, and quickly gathered the staff of the headquarters.
At the same time, he also issued orders one after another, and began to deploy defensive lines on the streets of the city, preparing for a street battle.
He heard the sound of 150mm howitzers, and knew that the city walls could not stop the enemy's attack at all, and it was only a matter of time before the walls fell, so he basically no longer had any expectations for the city defense.
Sure enough, he didn't even receive a report from the defenders on the walls, and the walls fell under enemy fire.
The defenders were almost all shattered.
The little devils in the city were all sent by Yoshio Shinozuka to organize street battles in brigades and squadrons.
Gao Jianwu bombarded the garrison barracks, this time it was just a lonely fight, and most of the little devils had already rushed to the streets of the northern city.
A small number were ordered by Yoshio Shinozuka to blow up the factory.
However, before Yoshio Shinozuka and his men set off, he received bad news again, the first and second divisions of the puppet army had all defected, and they had rushed to various factories in the city for defense!
Hearing the news, Yoshio Shinozuka finally couldn't help but squirt out a mouthful of old blood!
The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and now the two puppet military divisions rebelled, which was even worse for him.
"Commander Shinozuka, the situation is critical now, and I humbly request that the commander be transferred to Yangqu immediately! He commanded the locust army in Jinyang and waited for reinforcements to arrive. "After Major General Yoshio Shinozuka finished dispatching his troops, he spoke first and admonished.
"Please Your Excellency the Commander immediately transfer to control the overall situation, and swear to live and die with Jinyang!" The rest of the staff stood up together and admonished.
In the current situation, without the arrival of reinforcements, everyone will definitely be dead.
Fortunately, the enemy is only attacking at the north gate now, and there is no movement at the other gates, so there is still hope for everyone to run away.
But if Commander Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't run, everyone will have no reason to run away, so now everyone is united to persuade Yoshio Shinozuka to leave.
All of you here are veterans with actual combat experience, and there is no one who can't distinguish the sound of artillery, and who can't hear the obvious explosion sound of their own 96-type 150-mm howitzer and 91-type 105-mm howitzer?
With such two kinds of heavy artillery bombardment, the Jinyang city wall is almost a decoration.
It was only a matter of time before the enemy came in.
Even now it is not clear whose troops are attacking outside.
But with such artillery strength, no matter which one you can't beat yourself.
"Your Excellency Commander, we must summon 100,000 troops from Yangqu, Yangcheng, Jincheng and even Monkey City to rescue urgently, although we still don't know who the enemy is, but I think that it must be the eighth road that will break the jade of the 26th Division and the 41st Division, and the second theater will not have such a strong strength to transport heavy artillery to our noses, we still don't know anything. Only the Eighth Route adopted the strategy of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, which made us think that their main force went north to Yunzhong, but in fact, they secretly went south to Jinyang. ”
】
Rear Admiral Hase's words are almost infinitely close to reality.
However, now they are only passively beaten, and they are not prepared at all.
"Now we have to hold on until dawn, so that our air force can come to the rescue as soon as possible, and by that time, how many artillery pieces are there in the eight roads, they are all a pile of scrap metal under the wing of the air force. As long as the enemy's artillery is blown up, we will hopefully hold on until reinforcements arrive! ”
In a desperate situation, Major General Hase's flickering skills are not bad, and everyone present listens to it, and suddenly feels that it seems that it can really be saved.
After all, it is only a few hours before dawn, and now there are still thousands of locust troops in the city, and the enemy's long-range artillery fire in the street battle should not be used at all, if you rely on the 92 infantry guns and mortars, the defense can completely use grenadiers to counterattack!
The key to this battle is street fighting.
In the headquarters of the First Army, a group of staff officers of little devils were stimulated a little bit of morale, and according to their past habits and experience, if they attacked a fortified city like Jinyang, even if they had the advantage of artillery fire and troops, they would not be able to defeat it in three or five days.
Street fighting street by street, a dozen may be several hours of flesh and blood, several field brigades dispersed, plus the three gendarmerie brigades of the military police garrison headquarters, almost all of the locust army street fighting units in the northern urban areas are on top.
In addition, the residents in Beicheng had no time to evacuate, and even the Eighth Road did not dare to cover the entire Beicheng District with artillery fire, and attacked the defenders and the people indiscriminately.
The surrounding cities can at least raise three or four brigades to bring back reinforcements, not to mention that there is air force support during the day, this battle, at least in the opinion of Major General Hase, still has to be fought!
After listening to Major General Hagatani's words, Yoshio Shinozuka's small eyes rolled, and basically followed Major General Hagatani's thinking, and suddenly felt that Major General Hagatani was very reasonable.
It's just that if you withdraw in a hurry, will you seem to be a little embarrassed by the panic.
"This commander swears to live and die with Jinyang, and you don't need to persuade you anymore." Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a while and then said categorically.
Since there is still a chance to hold it, let's defend it first and save it.
Recently, the situation in Jindi is really bad, and Yoshio Shinozuka, who is full of debts, if he loses Jinyang City without a fight, I'm afraid he will have to go to the special military court.
It's better to turn the tide in a bloody battle with a lone army, as Major General Hagatani said, maybe you can leave the big quagmire of the First Army with dignity!
Yoshio Shinozuka's calculations were very loud, but in this way, Major General Hagatani was a little dumbfounded, and now in this situation, if the command headquarters is taken by others, it will be really finished, without Yoshio Shinozuka desperately pulling reinforcements outside, with these thousands of people in the city to resist tens of thousands of eight roads and hundreds of artillery.
That's a lot to think about.
"Your Excellency Commander, the current situation in the city is too delicate, and the overall situation of the entire Jindi cannot be changed, please temporarily transfer to the command outside the city and control the overall situation, otherwise there will be a slight loss, and the entire Jindi will really collapse!" Major General Hasei was a little anxious.
Now anyone can have an accident, and the besieged Yoshio Shinozuka can't have an accident, otherwise it is really difficult for these surrounding troops to mobilize and desperately rescue Jinyang.
Only if Yoshio Shinozuka is still alive, these troops can come desperately.
.....
Eight Road Headquarters.
"Hit in, Li Yunlong just got in?" Holding the telegram, the boss's eyes were about to pop out.
It's too fast, Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu's attack speed is too fast.
Jinyang is a strong city.
At the beginning, with the cooperation of superior artillery fire and the air force, the little devils fought for three days to defeat Taiyuan, and even if they broke through the city wall, it took a day. How can it be in the hands of Li Yunlong and Gao Jianwu, it seems to be done simply and simply?!
When did the little devil fight so much?
"Boss, Lao Chen said, Gao Jianwu captured a heavy artillery wing equipment of the little devil when he hit Yangqu Station, a full 12 96-type 150-mm howitzers and 12 91-type 105-mm howitzers, in terms of artillery, Gao Jianwu is particularly talented, commanding the heavy artillery artillery to hit the city tower in the first round, and in a few rounds, the city gate was blown down more than 100 meters away, and then let the 75-mm mountain artillery extend to shell the little devil near the city tower, almost clearing a section of no man's land, Li Yunlong and the four main battalions broke in at once."
When the boss was a little skeptical, the deputy chief of staff said excitedly with a detailed battle report.
At this time, of course, the brigade commander knew what the elders at the headquarters wanted, so while paying attention to the battlefield, he forwarded the collected battle reports to the headquarters.
This is destined to be an epic battle, and the Grand Brigade Commander is in it, and of course he needs to pass the joy to those who should know it for the first time, and leave eternal historical evidence!
"It's amazing, this young man is terrible, we are really old, we have been worrying about it for so long, and we haven't heard that the original victory opportunity is around, fortunately, we have 100% trust in Gao Jianwu, otherwise how could this hearty victory come so early." The boss sighed.
But at the moment, his eyes were full of joy.
......
At the same time, the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army was completely different, and a group of senior staff members were all stunned by Shinozuka Yoshio's telegram asking for help.
What, the Eighth Route passed through multiple defense lines and went directly to Jinyang, not to mention, it was also shelling Jinyang with hundreds of artillery pieces, including 150mm howitzers!
It's just outrageous, it's outrageous, it's outrageous!
Everyone has only a wave of rational analysis that the Eighth Route must go north to fight Yunzhong, and the reconnaissance planes and ground troops have also confirmed that there is really a team of tens of thousands of Eighth Route going north.
Why did this suddenly come out of Jinyang?
It's rare to fly in eight ways?
There are also hundreds of artillery, and if either Yoshio Shinozuka is crazy, or the world is crazy.
But when I think about it rationally, it is impossible for Yoshio Shinozuka to joke about this kind of thing, and this telegram did not pass through the hands of Yoshio Shinozuka alone, but there are several hands, and it is impossible for everyone to go crazy.
"Gentlemen, Shinozuka-kun said that he would defend Jinyang, but the current situation, even if the surrounding troops are dispatched to help, I am afraid it will not be enough, and the fighter plane will not be able to set off until dawn tomorrow at the earliest, and we may have to consider how to deal with the aftermath after the loss of Jinyang." The little devil in Gangcun felt that he had aged at least ten years in the past few days, and he already had a feeling of exhaustion.
Jinyang is not as good as Wucheng, Wucheng is a remote Cha Province, just in front of Pingjin, to be honest, if the little devil in Gangcun makes up his mind, there is really no problem with taking it, but the price is just the size.
But Jinyang is completely different, it is such a strategic point of Jindi, as soon as Jinyang is lost, the entire Jindi may collapse, Jindi is mountainous and self-contained, so that after Jindi is occupied by the Eighth Road, it is impossible to recapture it without launching a big new battle.
However, such a major battle is no longer something that he can decide alone with a single North China dispatch army, which is completely different from a sweep, which can be stopped at any time depending on the situation, but to recapture the Jin land, this campaign may be protracted, and it will have to be fought for several months, and the materials and troops mobilized are not at the same level as the sweep.
You must know that the locust army is not only dealing with the Eighth Route family, as soon as the Jin land is lost, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army will inevitably re-enter, and there will be hundreds of thousands of regular troops below!
What's going on!
The little devil in Gangcun really wants to find someone to slap a few times to relieve stress!
