The strongest militia

Zhangyuan City is located at the intersection of Beijing, Shanxi, Mongolia and Hebei. It is a famous northern city with a long history and splendid culture. It used to be the hometown of oriental humans. It is a distribution center and an important land commercial port for trade with Europe, and it is an important industrial base in North China.

Since the little devils invaded this strategically important city in North China in 37, they have used this as a rear base to control the flow of materials to several nearby provinces.In order to prevent this important military town from falling, the little devils deliberately set up the headquarters of the Mengqiang independent government supported by them here.Around this important military city, heavy troops were also stationed to protect this city, which is one of the best in northern China in terms of economic logistics, and prevent it from easily returning to the hands of the Chinese army.

It's just that they didn't expect that when they felt that the militia column was doing something in the southwest, the militia column had already targeted them.When they learned that the county towns outside Zhangjiakou had been besieged by the main grassroots militia columns, the Japanese and puppet Mongolian troops stationed in the city hurriedly closed the city gates for fear that the militia columns would boldly attack this important military city.

But at this time, closing the city gates seems to have made up for it. The main force of the grassroots militia besieged those surrounding counties. .Seeing more and more troops besieged outside Shijiazhuang City, De Wang and others who were blocked in the city panicked for the first time.Pinned all his hopes on Akira Kanai, who was also shocked by the news that the main force of the militia column was attacking the city.

Akira Kanai, who was sent here by the Japanese army as the general military and political adviser, couldn't figure out why the militia column dared to attack Zhangjiakou so boldly at this time.Don't they know that this home is the defense zone of their Japanese Kwantung Army.As the Japanese Kwantung Army that has been in China for the longest time, its strength is not comparable to that of the Japanese North China Front Army. [

Through the farewell messages sent one after another by the Japanese city defense officers in these counties, Akira Kanai finally realized that the militia column might be playing for real this time, and they really wanted to take down this gateway to Inner Mongolia.Otherwise, all strategic transportation lines leading to Shijiazhuang will not be cut off.If he didn't guess wrong at this time.I'm afraid Shijiazhuang has become an isolated city.

Aware of this, Jin Jingzhang looked at these high-ranking Mongolian soldiers who had panicked before they fought, and said fiercely: "How decent are you like this? Now the militia column has scared you to such a degree before they attacked the city." Look, if they come in, I'm afraid you will surrender like them immediately? Let me tell you, as long as I don't die, who of you dares to betray our Great Japanese Empire, you know what the fate waiting for you will be like.

From now on, you all return to your respective jobs.Draw all the defensive forces in the city to defend the city.I will send a report to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army now, looking for support from the headquarters.As long as we can withstand the siege of the militia column, within two days they will face my powerful Kwantung Army troops, and they will have to flee.You are so afraid, do you not believe in the strength of our Kwantung Army? "

Akira Kanai, who usually serves as a consultant, will still give some face to these high-ranking puppet Mongolian army.But it's time for life and death.His nature is naturally exposed.At this time, if anyone dared to say the words of surrendering and offering the city, Akira Kanai would definitely be the first to order their execution.

Anyway, for Japanese like them, there are many such traitors in Huaxia.Kill one, and then promote another one later when you find time.Anyway, they were more just put on the table as puppets for outsiders to see. No one in the Japanese army would really take them seriously.

See Akira Kanai, the general counsel of Japan, angry, and the senior officials of these puppet governments.Terrified to death, they trotted back to their jobs one by one, and mobilized their confidants in the city to defend the city.Kanai Zhang returned to the confidential room and sought support from the headquarters of the Kwantung Army. In addition, if possible, he hoped that the Japanese troops stationed in North China could send some troops to come to support.Of course, he knew that the Japanese troops in North China were unreliable, and the Kwantung Army troops in the other two provinces were the ones he could really trust.

Received a telegram for help from Akira Kanai.The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Ken Ueda, gave way to the general, and was really angry.Last year, the Kwantung Army had just stumbled over the old Soviet Union, but when would even a militia dare to bully them.If they really think that the Kwantung Army is the North China Japanese Army, they will not be able to take them seriously and let them be bullied.Spread the word, let him put General Ueda's face there!

Not to mention, Ueda Kenrang did not ask the North China Front Army to send troops to support, because in his opinion.The mighty Kwantung Army still needs the support of second-rate Japanese troops like North China to fight the war, so it won't make others laugh.Directly ordered the main force of the Kwantung Army in Suiyuan and Rehe to prepare to go to Zhangjiakou and annihilate this militia column that dared to challenge their prestige of the Kwantung Army.In addition, the Kwantung Army Air Force in Suiyuan Hohhot was ordered to take off to cooperate with the Japanese army in Zhangjiakou to fight against the Mongolian army.

As the commander of the Kwantung Army.Ueda Kenrang still heard about this militia column that was making waves in North China.Although he knew that they had captured Beiping City, in his opinion, it was because the North China Front Army was too capable and let the militia columns take advantage of the loopholes.

For so many years, the North China Front Army has been unable to solve this militia unit under their noses. In Ueda Kenjo's view, it is a shame for the Japanese army. Those Japanese generals stationed in the North China Front Army should commit suicide by cutting their stomachs. The face of the enemy.

Although he looked down on this militia unit, but in the face of the provocation of the militia column, Ueda's style of humility is that the overall situation depends on the first battle.As for the defense of Suiyuan and Rehe, in his opinion, as long as the main force of this militia column is captured in Chahar, there will be no major problems with the defense of the Mongolian troops in these two provinces.

Besides, even if there is any movement in these two provinces, he believes that with the strength of their Kwantung Army, they only need to call out two or three main divisions to fight south.All the forces of resistance are undoubtedly paper tigers that cannot be defeated by the Soviet Far East Army. Could it be that their Kwantung Army cannot even defeat the weak Huaxia Army?

This is simply impossible, so it is no problem at all for Ueda Ken to call out the main force of the Kwantung Army from these two provinces.After all, as long as the main force of the Kwantung Army in these two provinces arrives in Zhangjiakou, this itchy militia raiding troops will not be able to be wiped out with a wave of hands!

Just when Ken Ueda sent back a telegram, he told Akira Kanai that he would persist for three days no matter what, and that he had sent air force support.In addition, the main force of the Kwantung Army in the two surrounding provinces has also assembled and is ready to go to Zhangjiakou for rescue at any time.Akira Kanai who received this telegram.The tense expression finally calmed down.In his opinion, with such a strong city defense and [-] to [-] defenders, it is undoubtedly very easy to persist for three days.

Is it really the truth?

Just when Zhang Jinjing felt that waiting for the reinforcements to arrive for three days would be a foregone conclusion, Situ Liang, who led the artillery division, had already built artillery positions and air defense positions.After taking the azimuth coordinates sent back from the city by the Flying Eagle Special Operations Brigade, he immediately ordered the artillery regiments under his command to prepare for the first round of shelling.And command the confidential staff of the division headquarters.Remind the flying eagles and intelligence personnel in the city to enter the basement to prevent being accidentally injured by the artillery.

When the positions of the artillery regiments were all set, Situ Liang immediately asked Deng Chenggong, who was in the Xuanhua headquarters, whether everything was ready to carry out shelling.Soon the operator received an order from Deng Chenggong.

Just three words 'Hit hard! '

Situ Liang with this order.He seemed very excited and said: "Give each artillery regiment of the division, in order of one regiment, to carry out differential bombardment on the Japanese positions in Zhangjiakou." [

As the radio waves sent his orders to the main regiments of the artillery division, they had already aimed their cannons at the commander of the Japanese barracks in Zhangjiakou, and immediately rushed to the artillery position with a telegram and shouted: "Fire!"

Those artillerymen who had already stuffed the cannons into the barrels immediately squatted aside and covered their ears, and those artillerymen who fired were staring at the signalman's flag.With the cannon flag waved down.A group of nearly fifty 150-caliber howitzers roared in order, and nearly fifty large-caliber howitzers flew towards the Japanese garrison in Zhangjiakou with piercing roars.

After the artillery of the first regiment flew out, the head of the second regiment of the Artillery Division had long waited and gave the order to fire the artillery, and the target of their first round of attack was the Mongolian army's garrison and their command center.

As the first rounds of artillery from each regiment of the artillery division were fired at intervals of less than one minute, Zhangjiakou, which was originally quiet, suddenly fell into the smoke of artillery fire.Those Japanese and Mongolian troops who had just waited for the news that the Kwantung Army troops from the two neighboring provinces had already arrived to support them were happy.When facing this hail-like howitzer.Many people just yelled 'shelling', and they were completely plunged into darkness.

Kanai Akira, who was sitting in the command post, was still indulging in the fantasy that the crisis would be resolved soon, a deafening sound of shelling made Jin Jingzhang immediately jumped up and rushed out of the room shouting: "Baga, what is the bombardment over there?" live?"

As he roared, the adjutant who was about to come over to remind him to be careful to avoid the artillery fire of the Chinese Army.Immediately trotted in and said: "Your Excellency, General Counselor, the Chinese militia launched a violent shelling. Judging from the intensity of the first round of shelling just now, there is at least one artillery division of the Chinese militia outside the city.

And those artillery are all large-caliber howitzers.In the first round of shelling, the garrison in our city and the puppet army's camp were severely damaged.The headquarters of the puppet army on the border has also become ruins. For your safety, we still go to the basement to take shelter.I am worried that this place is no longer safe, and it is very likely that it will be the target of the next round of Chinese artillery.Your Excellency should hide away from me for a while! "

While talking about the news just received, the adjutant was still very concerned and pulled the consultant into the underground air-raid shelter of their headquarters.And the adjutant's guess was correct. Not long after they hid in the air defense fortification, the headquarters above their heads ushered in a second round of violent shelling.Looking at the sand and stones falling from the top of his head, Akira Kanai couldn't help but be thankful that he ran fast.Otherwise, under such a large-caliber cannon, as long as one is hit, one will be seriously injured and killed.

Knowing that he somewhat underestimated the strength of this militia column, Akira Kanai immediately ordered the radio operator who had been transferred to work in the underground fortification to urge the air force of the Kwantung Army.If their air force doesn't rush to support them, I'm afraid that if such a powerful artillery unit keeps bombing, not many defensive troops in their city can survive!At that time, if the militia who had already surrounded them launched an attack again, I'm afraid they really couldn't delay for three days.

When the Suiyuan air force of the Japanese army was dispatched, the intelligence department of the militia column had passed the information to the artillery division outside Shijiazhuang City, as well as the two militia infantry divisions assembled to attack the city.After the artillery division finished the second round of shelling, it put anti-counterfeit clothing on the artillery on the spot. As for the air defense regiment deployed outside the artillery division's garrison, it began to stand by and wait for the arrival of the Japanese Air Force.

Although the strength of their air defense regiment is good, there is no guarantee that they can completely annihilate the Japanese air force who came to help. However, as long as the air defense regiment still exists, the Japanese air force planes want to easily drop bombs on the artillery positions. It is also a luxury.And those artillerymen who had already hid in the air-raid shelter next to the artillery position also began to pay attention to the movement in the sky through the ventilation holes of the air-raid shelter, watching the air defense regiment beat the little devil's plane into a turkey. One of the joys! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation.
