Chapter 106: The Offensive and Defensive Battle of Beiping 4
September 18, 1940, Beiping City
At 12:14, the Beiping underground party cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to blow up Yongding Gate in the form of directional blasting, and the main force of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division broke into the city.
At 12:22, the Japanese troops stationed in You'anmen broke up under the attack of the Sulu theater of operations, and Wu Huawen led his troops to occupy You'anmen.
At 12:23, the 3rd Division of the Jinsui Army and the Political Guard ascended the Xizhimen Tower, and the Japanese army met in short arms, and a fierce battle broke out.
At 12:30, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, under the cover of aviation fighters, approached Chaoyangmen.
At 12:35, the main force of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army entered Guangqumen and engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese troops stationed at Guangqumen.
At 12:40, Yan Huiqing, the former president of the Beiyang government, led part of the Imperial Allied Army and Beiyang veterans to revolt, captured Guang'anmen in one fell swoop, and welcomed the Eighth Route Army into the city.
At 12:41, a 122mm shell fell into the compound of the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters, causing a great shock, and Okamura Ninji gave an order to the Japanese reserves to carry out the "shield plan"
At 12:45, more than 10,000 expatriate volunteers, as the reserve of the Japanese army, drove nearly 100,000 women and children to appear in front of the Chinese army, and began to advance in reverse, using civilians as shields to force our army to retreat.
The front-line troops of the Eighth Route Army immediately launched an artillery bombardment of the Japanese army in depth, in order to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army and deter the other side, and the sharpshooters of various units also began to carry out precision strikes against the Japanese volunteers.
No, in the face of our army's attack, the Japanese expatriate volunteers actually began to publicly execute civilians, and the Japanese commander even threatened that as long as the Eighth Route Army did not withdraw from Beiping City, they would not be able to control the expatriate volunteers, and the massacre would continue.
At the same time, the latest information came from the underground party in Beiping, the Japanese army has laid bombs and mines in key areas of Beiping, factories, schools, shopping malls, hotels, post offices, power plants, as long as it is a valuable target, the Japanese volunteers and sappers have been stationed, due to the lack of explosives reserves, the Japanese army has begun to requisition all kinds of oil and chemicals stored by merchants in the city, once the Japanese army carries out the blasting, the essence of the entire city will be wiped out.
Even, the Japanese volunteers also collected fire-starting materials in residential areas on a large scale, and began to drive and concentrate residents to some areas full of fire-starting materials, in the name of protection, but this was obviously prepared for the burning of jade.
In the face of the Japanese army, the deputy commander-in-chief and Admiral Yang had to issue a retreat order to the front-line troops to recover Beiping, and the thing they were most worried about was to cause a large number of civilian injuries in the process of attacking.
"Damn, if Lao Tzu enters Beiping, he will definitely kill all these dogs!" It was Wu Huawen who spoke, standing on the tower of the city gate just now, he could be said to be full of pride, in front of his new Fourth Division, the Japanese garrison was simply vulnerable, and it was by no means an empty word to continue to break through to the north
I don't want the little devil to actually push out a group of women and children, if the number is small, he Wu Huawen is by no means the kind of indecisive person, kill and kill, where is there an immortal in a war.
But his mother's little devil launched tens of thousands of people at once, all of them were women and milk dolls, not only him Wu Huawen, but also those veterans on the front line, and no one could do it.
"It's a failure, and I can see that the artillery can reach the headquarters of Gangcun." It was General Yang who spoke, just now, the Jin Sui army had occupied Xizhimen, Chu Yunfei put all the 122mm howitzers on the city wall, preparing to carry out a fixed-point removal of the stronghold in the devil's city, but they soon found that there were a lot of civilians tied around the devil's stronghold, as long as the cannon was fired, it would cause civilian casualties, and it was a huge number, and the most annoying thing was that the devil also hung the flag of the Red Cross near the stronghold. In the face of the devil's meat shield, Chu Yunfei even attacked and rescued several times, but he failed to achieve results, but lost almost one battalion.
"The Beiping underground party has just come to the exact news, the devils have imposed martial law on the city since yesterday, and one of the areas is strictly controlled by them, at first we haven't figured out what the devils are going to do, but we just think that our intelligence agency has been exposed in this area, and now it seems that they want to use the common people as meat shields, because the devils are too sudden, and too secretive, so this information has not had time to come out." As he spoke, the deputy chief of general staff handed over the latest information received to several people present, joint operations, intelligence sharing is the most basic trust, because he failed to get the information in time, the deputy chief of general staff still had a trace of apology on his face.
"Our military command Beiping Station will carry out an assassination of Gangcun tonight, and we will need to cover it at that time." At this time, Liu Wenxiu, the head of the military command Beiping Station who was sitting in the corner, spoke, don't look at Beiping is almost the same as an iron bucket, but there is no problem at all if you want to ensure the entry and exit of eight people, just like he, just now he drove out in the car of the Bald Eagle Consulate.
According to the original history, Liu Wenxiu should have been arrested by the Beiping Special High School at this time, or it won't be long before he will rebel if he can't stand the torture, but in the past six months, the dazzling changes on the battlefield in North China have also shifted his life.
"Is it big?" The deputy commander-in-chief asked, Gangcun Ningci has gone completely crazy, and if he wants to break the current predicament, killing Gangcun Ningci may have become the only way.
"This is actually a plan made early in the morning, we have been preparing for half a year, and we have a certain degree of certainty, this time the mountain city side has given a death order to Beiping Station, and Beiping Station will kill Gangcun Ningci even if it is exhausted tonight." Liu Wenxiu's tone of voice was very calm, he would come back sooner or later this day, even if he died in battle, it didn't matter, it was just a matter of opening his eyes and closing his eyes, although it was a bit wasteful to use agents as commandos, but now they had no choice, if they could really exchange the destruction of the military command in Beiping for the vitality of millions of citizens, they were willing to sacrifice.
"Are there enough people? If needed, the Beiping Underground Party can also support you. The deputy chief of staff said that the Beiping underground party had also formulated a relevant assassination plan, but after repeated deductions, the odds of victory were not great, so it was temporarily shelved, but the superiors also gave an order, as long as there was an opportunity, they should kill Gangcun Ningci at all costs.
"Enough, when the 29th Army abandoned the city, there were many patriotic officers and soldiers left, and nearly 1,000 people were gathered at Beiping Station, plus some veterans of the old Beiyang and the former Qing Dynasty, there are more than 2,000 professional soldiers alone, plus the good hands of the Green Gang and our people, 3,000 people can be dispatched at one time, enough, no matter how much, the city will not be able to expand." Liu Wenxiu never thought that he would have the opportunity to command such a large-scale battle as a military commander, more than 3,000 people, and a miscellaneous division of the national army was nothing more than this.
"Where's the weaponry?" The deputy commander-in-chief asked, he just got angry, but the boss wants to kill Gangcun more than anyone else, he has no friendship with the old devil, he is not a classmate, and he is not an old friend, so it's over.
"The guns and ammunition are sufficient, they are all high-quality products of the Dagu Factory, and they are better equipped than the Central Army, so that we still have a chemical cannon in the former Qing Dynasty and four 88mm field guns in our hands. Liu Wenxiu waved his hand, weapons and equipment, there is no shortage of military command Beiping Station, most of the weapons and equipment left in Beiping by the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army were transferred to them, and they have been trying to find a way to pour out of the city in the past few years.
"No problem!" The deputy commander-in-chief's response was very simple, even if there was no such thing, they would have consumed the Japanese army piecemeal, looking for fighters, and hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, so they wouldn't just withdraw like this, right?
Some people died, but not completely......
