The strongest militia

Since the city of Beiping was captured, Deng successfully wiped out all the counties and towns in the Beiping area, so that now there is no organized Japanese army guarding the city near Beiping.Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi, who did not want to affect the pursuit of these small counties, marched more often against these counties defended by militia troops, and went straight to the troops of the Northeast Division who were about to flee the Tongxian area.

When the 21st Division of the Japanese Army was entering the border of Fengtai, the little devils who had been driving for several hours overnight undoubtedly marched much slower.Many little devil soldiers who did not have a good rest fell to the ground and fell asleep as they walked.For these little devil soldiers who really couldn't persevere, they were responsible for leading them to see the Japanese commanders at the grassroots level, and they could only send someone to carry them to the car for a rest.

Seeing the hazy daylight in the early morning already appearing on the horizon, many Japanese soldiers holding torches were finally able to throw away the torches that made their hands sore.But the sun that had gradually risen made these little devils heave a long sigh of relief.After all, this is the beginning of a new day. As long as they catch up with the main force of the damned militia today, maybe they can take a good rest.

It's a pity that their expectation seems a bit extravagant. The divisional cavalry regiment that is at the forefront of the march, many little devil cavalry sitting on military horses, saw a few cavalry sitting on horseback dozing in front of them , was blasted to the sky by a sudden explosion.

Damn it!Stepping on a mine again!

The cavalry, who seemed to be used to this kind of cavalry, quickly stopped their march and immediately notified the engineering troops behind to come over to clear the mines.If the mines in front are not cleared, their cavalry march is undoubtedly courting death.

Compared with Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi's violent jump, many little devil soldiers who were walking with soft feet suddenly breathed out very easily, sat slumped on the ground, and soon fell to the ground with no image at all and fell asleep.When they fell asleep, many little devil soldiers hoped that the militia troops would plant more landmines in this sneak attack, so that they would have enough time to take a little doze.

This kind of paralysis that disregarded the image of a soldier was not allowed by the grassroots commander of the Japanese army who led the team, but just after training a soldier who fell asleep, at least two or three soldiers fell down to rest.Over time, this drowsiness permeated all the Japanese infantry who were marching.

Knowing that these soldiers are indeed too exhausted, the grassroots commanders finally stopped this kind of action of pulling the soldiers up and standing up when they heard that the minefield laid by the militia in front seemed to be a bit large.Some grassroots commanders who also felt exhausted, like the soldiers, found a hidden corner and closed their eyes to rest.

Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi's anger naturally rose when the engineering team found that a minefield of nearly one kilometer was laid on the road ahead.But he knows that it's useless to get angry, after all, the landmines are buried, what can you do?

He had no choice but to let these engineers sit in the car to rest, compared with the infantry marching on foot. He immediately ordered all the engineers to enter the minefield for demining operations as soon as possible.Try to solve the minefield ahead as soon as possible, and prevent the main force of the militia who are also speeding up and fleeing from them.

Turning his head to inspect the troops, Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi saw resting soldiers lying all around him, and when he was about to get angry, the chief of staff who followed him said: "Your Excellency, division commander, our soldiers have had a hard time marching long distances. .Anyway, it will take some time for the engineering team to dismantle the mines, so let them take a short break!"

When he felt that what the chief of staff said was indeed reasonable, and seeing the staff around him turn their eyes into rabbit eyes, he could only sigh helplessly in the end: "Chief of staff, I feel now that we Even if we catch up with the main force of the militia, there is no way to carry out offensive operations. Alas! Why did these damned Chinese militiamen dismantle our railway? We can only march in this way, which is really disgusting Already!"

Is not this nonsensical?As an opponent, how could it be possible without some sabotage?

The chief of staff didn't dare to say anything more, and nodded in agreement: "The division chief is right, these militiamen are really abominable! But now that the sky is bright, I believe the air force should be sent out to carry out reconnaissance and bombing. Compared with It is difficult for us to march at night, and the actions of these militiamen during the day will also be seriously affected, and we will still be able to reduce the marching distance with them."

Hearing the chief of staff's comfort, Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi also seemed relieved and said: "Well, the chief of staff is right. After two hours, the sky will be bright, and see how the main force of the Chinese militia is still running? He can run again. , is it possible that it can escape the bombing of the plane?"

While the two division commanders were waiting for the engineering unit to clear the mines without saying a word, the Japanese marching troops behind, without any noise except for the sound of sleeping, seemed unusually quiet.

Compared with the exhausted long-distance march of the Japanese army, the main force of the militia had already been waiting in front. When the Japanese engineering corps was clearing mines, the artillery division had already adjusted the bombardment parameters. Waiting for these little devils who were not vigilant at all would be a A nightmare enough to make them frightened.

Deng Chenggong, who just took a nap in the ambush position, was already looking at the Japanese army not far ahead in high spirits, and shook the phone of the temporary headquarters and said into the microphone: "How is your artillery preparing?" , Can we start shelling? There is not much time left for us to attack."

The artillery division commander on the other end of the phone quickly said: "Commander, the artillery division has done all the preparations before the shelling, and can launch shelling at any time."

Deng Chenggong nodded to the phone and said: "Okay, then use your shells to wake up these little devils! After this battle, you artillery division can also take a good rest, don't be reluctant to give me a hard beating by the shells. As before, stop shelling and you are the first to evacuate, don't let the little devil's plane bite you, understand?"

The artillery division commander said with a smile on the phone: "Yes, Commander, I remember it!"

Deng Chenggong rarely showed a smile and said, "Then start shelling!"

As the phone was put down, the artillery division commander immediately notified all artillery positions that the first round of shelling could be carried out.For the little devils who hadn't hinted at the danger before, what awaited them would be a one-sided massacre.

Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi, who was chatting happily, suddenly heard a deafening whistling sound not far away, before he could react.The Japanese army, which stretched for several kilometers, was awakened by the roaring explosion.Compared with those little devils who were awakened by the bombing and fled in panic, many Japanese soldiers who were directly blown away by the shells died directly in their sleep.

Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi, who also realized that he was ambushed, immediately screamed at the Japanese troops who seemed a little confused to defend.Only now did he realize that the place where he was blocked by the minefield had no place to hide, it was a completely empty plain!It might not be easy to find a hilltop, so where did the Japanese troops who had become soft-footed shrimp hide?

Compared with the top and bottom of the Japanese 21st Division who realized that they were ambushed, the shells that kept falling like hailstones scattered their entire division into chaos, and could not form an effective defensive arrangement at all.As for the engineering unit that stayed ahead to clear the mines, the minefields that were directly detonated consumed almost the same amount.The artillery wing and armored wing in the division have also become the focus of the artillery division.

Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi, who was suppressed by the intensive artillery fire and could not carry out effective defense at all, looked at the chariots and heavy artillery that were constantly being destroyed by shells, and his heart ached!Not to mention how uncomfortable it was, but he could only hide in a gun pit under the protection of the division chief of staff and other officers, waiting for the end of the intensive artillery fire that he didn't know when it would stop.

When the 21st Division of the Japanese Army was bombarded by the Artillery Division for half an hour, the originally well-equipped main division had become dilapidated.Just when Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi rejoiced that the artillery fire had finally subsided, the roaring sound from ahead made his face lose all blood again.

Armored units of the militia columns!

Realizing that what the Japanese intelligence forces provided to them, the troops driving from Tongxian County to the northeast of North China were not the main force of the militia column at all. The army that ambushed them in front of them was really the main force to attack Beiping City.Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi knew that the fate waiting for their 21st Division would probably be the same as that of the [-]th Division, which the Japanese army shamed.

The division command system that had been paralyzed, when they saw the militia column armored convoy advancing rapidly towards them, the surviving cavalry immediately turned their horses and prepared to escape.This kind of armored chariots charged in groups, and when they lost the artillery and armored units to stop them, their cavalry and infantry could only wait to die.

Fortunately, these surviving cavalrymen still had some sense of loyalty. They knew to look for Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi, the commander of their division. As long as Tian Jiuyi survived, their 21st Division could be rebuilt sooner or later.It will not be permanently revoked by the Japanese army like the Fourth Division of the Japanese Army.

Facing the begging of the chief of staff of the Japanese army and the regimental leaders around him, Lieutenant General Tian Jiuyi, who was going to fight to the death with the militia column, finally had no choice but to sit on a military horse under the protection of the cavalry regiment with his stomach full of sadness. , began to retreat back.The troops that were left to block were only a few armored tanks in the armored wing of their division.

As for how long they can resist, Tian Jiuyi, who has left, does not know, but if they resist for a minute longer, they will have more hope for life.Looking at the armored units of the militia that had already started shelling, Tian Jiuyi gritted his teeth and stared at the division troops that had once again been crippled by the militia. He beat the horses that had sat down desperately and began to lead the cavalry regiment. Leaving this place was enough to make him The place of a lifetime.
