Glorious Mission 1937

() On the morning of the 27th, just as the Shanxia Brigade hurriedly withdrew from the front line of Tianzhen to Zhangjiakou, the Jining Jingbei Brigade stationed in Zhangjiakou and Du Li's [-]th Division suddenly received an urgent telegram from the military headquarters, ordering Du Li's first The Seventh Division and the Jining Jingbei Brigade immediately carried out a strategic encirclement of the Japanese army's Yamashita Fengwen headquarters, and they must wipe out the enemy army. In addition, Chen Feng noted at the end of the telegram that no prisoners or wounded should be kept for the vicious Yamashita headquarters. .All the puppet troops who cooperated with the Yamashita Division to attack Tianzhen, regardless of ethnicity or official position, were killed or forced to work.

Chen Feng never forgot the fact that the Shanshita Fengwen Division drove the common people to attack the city. He took revenge for Xu Jiangang and the 576 common people who died innocently, and he wanted to implement it.

After receiving the telegram from the military headquarters, Xu Hu immediately ordered the troops to divide into two routes, one route went straight to Xuanhua from Yu County, and the other went out of Tianzhen to Huai'an.At the same time, the Jining Jingbei Brigade stationed in Zhangjiakou also dispatched elite troops from Zhangjiakou, heading south all the way to the Fengwen Office at the foot of the mountain.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the 27th, the Jining Jingbei Brigade first exchanged fire with the Yamashita Division. The place where the two sides fought was Qingshui River, the only place that Wanquan leads to Zhangjiakou.The two sides fought fiercely across the Qingshui River, and the Yamashita Division even used chariot troops to charge at one point, but unfortunately they were repulsed by the advanced machine guns of the Jining Jingbei Brigade.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Cavalry Regiment of the Seventh Division of Du Li arrived at Huai'an, the logistics base of Fengwen Yamashita's headquarters, and launched an attack on it. Then the 401st Infantry Regiment of the Seventh Division of Du Li also rushed to the battlefield to participate in the battle.At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Huai'an City was breached, and one and a half infantry brigades and a puppet infantry regiment defending the city were wiped out.

After receiving the news that Huai'an was captured by the squadron.Shocked, Yamashita Fengwen immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from the battle, and then broke out in the direction of Xuanhua. So far, there are only more than 600 people left in the Yamashita Department of more than [-] people.

At eight o'clock in the evening on the 27th, the vanguard of the Yamashita Brigade was ambushed by the 500th Division of Du Li in Shalingzi, northwest of Xuanhua. He led more than 3000 imperial alliance troops to stop the Chinese army on the spot, and he himself led a chariot brigade and more than 2000 infantry to break through from Shalingzi to Baoding.

At nine o'clock sharp, the main force of Duli's Seventh Division and the Jining Jingbei Brigade arrived at Shalingzi.After an hour of fighting.The more than 4000-day puppet army that remained behind was wiped out, but it is a pity that Fengwen Yamashita had already fled away at this time.

When the news came, the entire former enemy headquarters rejoiced.At the same time, the first batch of more than 1000 tons of materials has arrived in Zhangjiakou by railway.Another batch of [-] tons of materials is still on the road to Zhangjiakou.

Because there are too many materials seized.Chen Feng used the military's secret radio station to send a telegram to Hua Dajiao.Ask him to contact the Communist Party in secret, and let the person in charge of the Communist Party in Tianjin go to the Gendarmerie Command to find him immediately, that is, the First Army has a batch of supplies to be handed over to the Communist Party through the Tianjin Underground Party.

Taking advantage of the day, Chen Feng visited several important places in Tianjin.I found that the type and quantity of the materials seized this time were indeed beyond my expectations, ranging from weapons and equipment to daily necessities to medical supplies.Just relying on the current transportation capacity of the 61st Army, let alone a week, even if it takes a month, it may not be possible to rush to finish the shipment. After all, apart from these ready-made materials, Chen Feng is also greedy for the equipment and raw materials in those factories. If all these things were counted, it would have far exceeded Chen Feng's estimated figure of 20 tons.

With so many materials, they had to be burned if they couldn't be taken away, but it was really a pity to burn them.So Chen Feng thought of the CCP. Although this is an enemy-occupied area, Chen Feng knew the capabilities of the CCP's underground party.If it only refers to the military strength of the Eighth Route Army plus the New Fourth Army and then multiplied by 2, it is not necessarily the opponent of the 61st Army.But in terms of status and appeal in the eyes of the people, the 61st Army can't match the CCP.

Anyway, some materials must not be transported away, so it is better to be a favor than to burn them or leave them to Ri himself.And Chen Feng also thought about it, except for the CCP's side to give, the Nationalist government's side can't be left behind.Anyway, when the navy receives the three large warships, they will definitely drive away those large cargo ships. When leaving, Chen Feng will load all the things that cannot be taken away on those large cargo ships. As for whether they can reach the national government in the end. It depends on the Kuomintang Navy itself.

The Shanshita Brigade was almost wiped out, which once again shocked the North China Front Army Command.Originally they thought that the main force of the 61st Army had been concentrated in the Pingjin area, and it would be good if there were at most a thousand people left behind in Zhangjiakou.But now it seems that they have far underestimated the strength of the 61st Army.

According to the news from the Yamashita Brigade, the Chinese soldiers were divided into three groups, and more than 2 people were dispatched at one time, and there was also an organized artillery unit, which completed the encirclement and annihilation of the Yamashita Brigade within a day.Had it not been for Fengwen Yamashita's decisive breakthrough, another infantry brigade might have disappeared from the imperial system.

Shouichi and others in the temple made a little calculation and found that the number of Chinese troops from Zhangjiakou to Beiping and Tianjin exceeded 7, or even more. The defenders of Datong China can still withstand the strong attack of the two elite brigades of the Imperial Japanese Army.At this point, Terauchi Toshiichi and others came to a frightening conclusion that the total strength of the 26st Army of China was at least 61, and even exceeded 10, reaching a terrifying number.

How long has it been? According to the information collected by UTC, that Chen Feng was just an ordinary person before March of Showa 12, and he didn't even have the qualifications to enter the attention of UTC, but in less than a year The ant here has grown so powerful that it is enough to threaten the holy war of the Great Japanese Empire strategically.

The entire North China Front Army now has only 18 people, and it is so scattered that it is no longer able to deal with the relatively concentrated 61st Army.After learning that the Yamashita brigade had been severely damaged, General Toshiichi Terauchi decisively ordered the No. 30 brigade to withdraw from the battle immediately and move to Gu'an, waiting for the arrival of the fifth and tenth divisions.

In addition, the matter has reached this point, and Shouichi Terauchi knew that it was impossible to conceal it, so he made a detailed written report to the base camp on the afternoon of the 27th, and asked for seppuku to thank His Majesty the Emperor.

The news shocked the ruling and opposition parties, and Emperor Hirohito urgently held an imperial meeting to discuss countermeasures.

The atmosphere has never been so oppressive, even when deciding whether to launch an all-out war with China, because at that time almost everyone was full of confidence in the war, and the cowardly Chinese people did not fight with Dari at all. The strength of this empire to contend with.No matter in terms of political cohesion, economic comprehensive strength, and military combat effectiveness, the gap between China and the Great Japanese Empire is even wider than before the Sino-Japanese War.

The outcome of the war was as expected before the war. The imperial army won successively, and the three-dimensional offensive mode of sea, land and air completely crushed the defense line composed of Chinese troops. Beiping, Tianjin, Zhangjiakou, Baoding, Dezhou, Jinan, Jining , Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou all fell in just a few months, and there seemed to be no suspense about the outcome of the war.

However, since the hideous army in Northern China appeared out of thin air, the local war empire seemed to be in a stalemate. Although the empire was still in an absolute advantage in the overall situation, the defeat of the local war had increasingly affected the overall situation, and this time it was even more direct. It led to the destruction of a strategic force of the empire, and even the North China Front Army Command was heavily surrounded by the China Army.

"Lu Xiang, have you discussed how to deal with the war in Northern China?".Emperor Hirohito asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, the situation in North China is very complicated. In addition to the nasty 61st Army of China, the Central Yang Army of China, the Jinsui Army of Yan Xishan, and the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China also participated in the battle. The 14th Division and the 108th Division were firmly restrained on the front line of Xinkou, not only unable to return to Beiping, but also the possibility of collapse across the board. In addition, the Chinese guerrillas near Wutai Mountain repeatedly harassed the Zhengtai Railway, causing the 20th Division stationed in Baoding and Shijiazhuang The regiment was also unable to go north immediately. The 2nd Chinese Army and the 40th Army in southern Lunan also participated in the battle yesterday. I'm looking forward to the Fifth Division and the Tenth Division." Army Minister Bin Shanyuan replied in a deep voice.

Emperor Hirohito was very dissatisfied with Bin Shanyuan's answer. During this period of time, he has received news from many senior officers with the rank of lieutenant general and major general. A general of the army is about to be born. This news is much more terrifying than being wiped out of a field heavy artillery brigade. Besides, Terauchi Shouichi's father, Marshal Terauchi Masaki, is also a veteran in the army, and he is also a stubborn and protective old guy. Once Toshiichi Terauchi died in battle, Emperor Hirohito really didn't know what that old thing could do.

"Is this the decision made by your base camp?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it may be difficult to solve the crisis in Beiping by waiting for the Fifth and Tenth Divisions, because there are still a large number of Chinese troops between Zhangjiakou and Peiping, and they are fully capable of slowing down the Fifth and Tenth Divisions." The marching speed of the division. According to the estimates of the generals in the temple, if there is no reinforcements, the city of Beiping can last up to 4 days. Itagaki Seishiro and others will not be able to rush to Beiping in 4 days. Therefore, the help of the Kwantung Army is still needed to solve the crisis in Beiping " Bin Shanyuan said loudly.
