Chapter 104: Beiping Offensive and Defensive Battle 2
September 18, 1940, Beiping City
The Jin Sui army's feint retreated in only fifteen minutes, during which the artillery, armored corps and cavalry of the Jin Sui army were put into action one after another, wave after wave, like a tsunami, so frightened that the devils even put 150mm heavy artillery into the battle, but the result was that the Jin Sui army retreated after losing less than 200 people.
It's not that the Jin Sui army is not resolute in its will to fight, but the Chu Yunfei troops in the city are also in trouble, and it doesn't make much sense for them to continue the attack.
The Japanese reinforcements appeared almost at the same time as Sun Ming fired the signal flare, it was a patrol composed of Japanese expatriates, the number was small, only more than fifty people, and they were all some female members, because they had received a certain amount of military training before coming to China, they were also urgently organized to deter the civilians in the city.
But such a group of poorly trained and loosely organized women rushed over as soon as the battle took place, and their reaction speed even exceeded that of the regular army.
However, these female devils were not so stupid to crash into the muzzle of the Jin Sui army, they aimed at the masses who cooperated with the Jin Sui army, and before the Jin Sui army could react, more than 100 citizens were coerced into a courtyard by them, and then, relying on the courtyard to attack the Jin Sui army.
Yes, it's an attack, this patrol of more than 50 people is only equipped with some captured pistols and rifles, not even a machine gun, if they didn't capture a large number of people, a squad of the Jin Sui army is estimated to be able to defeat them. However, Jin Suijun didn't care too much about their attacks, some old ladies who couldn't even shoot accurately, with those rifles that were smoothed out, as long as they didn't shoot at close range, it wasn't a big problem.
At this time, Chu Yunfei scratched his head even more because of the Japanese artillery, relying on the guidance of the Japanese observation post on the city gate, the Japanese mortars also fired, accurately blocking the city gate, the troops they sent several times did not make a breakthrough, and the Japanese army was still extending their artillery fire and began to strike at the nearby Jin Sui army.
And taking advantage of the cover of the artillery bombardment, the follow-up reinforcements of the Japanese army also arrived, a squadron of Japanese troops, two Type 94 tanks, this is already the fastest speed of the Japanese army, you must know that from the start of the battle, it has only been three minutes until now.
But in just a few minutes, the Jin Sui army was already ready to block the attack, the sappers blew up the houses along the street, blocked the surrounding streets with rubble and debris, and at the same time relied on the buildings to lay a lot of fire points and laid some mines, so even if the Japanese army came, they could not break through quickly.
But with the addition of the regular army of the Japanese army, it is only a matter of time before the Jin Sui army's blocking troops are broken through, which Chu Yunfei knows better than anyone else, but now he is really unwilling to retreat, this squadron of the Japanese army has lost a lot in the shelling just now, and now it is estimated that there may not even be a hundred people, plus they have lost a lot of technical weapons in the shelling, their combat effectiveness has dropped to the bottom, and they must not give up at this time.
A few good men of the Jin Sui army tried to climb the city wall in a roundabout way, outflanking the defenders of Xizhimen from both flanks, as long as they could go up to the city gate tower, they could turn the situation around.
But with a few crisp gunshots, a few people were silent, and there was no accident, the snipers of the devils were already in place one after another, without any protection, and it was impossible to climb the city tower during the day.
At this time, another round of attack by the Jin Sui army commando was launched again, in just a few minutes, the Jin Sui army has used wet quilts, kang tables, and soil to make a few simple soil tanks, this thing has been used as early as the Beiyang period, but many times the use is not so great, if it is really so magical, get tens of thousands, and go directly to fight Taiyuan.
At the beginning, the devils didn't have much to do with these earthen tanks, machine guns, grenadiers, and grenades were used, but they still couldn't kill all the earthen tanks, unless it was a direct hit by a large-caliber mortar, but it was not a direct-aiming artillery, how could it be.
But just when the Jin Sui army commando was about to approach the city tower, the devils were also ruthless, and several devils drenched with kerosene rolled down from the city tower with cluster grenades, and then got into the wet quilt of the earthen tank, hugging the soldiers,
After a few explosions, not only the earthen tanks of the Jin Sui army were knocked out, but even the city gate hole of Xizhimen collapsed from the inside, completely blocking the city gate hole, if you want to continue to blow up the city gate, you need to climb over the pile of rubble that is one person high.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yunfei hammered a broken wall heavily, unwilling, really unwilling, just a few seconds away, only a few meters away from entering the city gate hole, and it fell short. In this situation, even if the city gates are blown open, the tank troops will not be able to rush in.
But Chu Yunfei had no chance, because at this time, the devil's troops had already surrounded him from several directions, the blocking line deployed on the periphery had been broken, and most of the battalion had been lost, and if it continued, it would only be annihilated.
As for continuing to transfer troops in, it's okay, but that's no different from the tactics of adding oil, it can only be a loss of strength in his hands, even if he takes the Xizhimen gate, he will have to withstand the more fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, and there is no guarantee that the devil has not made explosive preparations on the side of the devil, in this case, you said that the devil did not plant explosives at the city gate, Chu Yunfei must not believe it, you can't take Xizhimen by surprise, the devil will be more prepared, and when the time comes, if there is really a big explosion, he will lose a lot.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei had no choice but to withdraw from Beiping, when he went in, it was a reinforced battalion of 600 people, and when he withdrew, there were only more than 300 people left, including more than 100 light and serious wounded, this battalion was completely disabled, but counting the young men who rushed out with them, he brought out more than 1,000 people. m.
The Japanese army had a chance to stop them, after all, the exit of the sewer was within the range of the devil's artillery, but the Japanese army at this time could not even draw a heavy artillery, because when the Jin Sui army and the Japanese army were fighting fiercely, the Eighth Route Army also launched a large-scale attack on Beiping, compared with the offensive of the Jin Sui army, the Eighth Route Army mobilized more than 50,000 troops and hundreds of artillery pieces at once, and launched an overwhelming attack on Beiping City.
There was no priority, no temptation, it was a large-scale attack, and the Eighth Route Army even sent out valuable aviation troops, and for a while, it seemed that the whole of Beiping was trembling.
Some people died, but not completely......
