Chapter 280 Eight: Getting Rich (Please subscribe, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for all kinds!!!)

The battle in Shimen City is still going on, but both Qin Wuyang, who is in charge of commanding the attack, and Masaomi Hattori, who is in charge of defense, already know that the outcome of this battle is doomed.With a large number of puppet troops on the battlefield anyway and the main force of the Fuping Independent Brigade entering the city, the Japanese army was besieged by the enemy, and the remaining one hundred devils were oppressed in the garrison headquarters, struggling to survive.

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, Qin Wuyang ordered the troops to continue to besiege the Japanese garrison headquarters, and at the same time ordered the troops to urgently transfer the supplies at the railway station, and at the same time arrest the Japanese expatriates and ronin in the city.

General Bin Shanyuan never thought that the Shimen garrison would lose so badly and so quickly. Bin Shanyuan knew that there is no general who is always victorious, let alone an army that is not defeated. But in his mind, even if the Imperial Japanese Army fails It won't lose any face at all.The Shimen defenders add up to tens of thousands of people, but the Chinese army attacking there is only a few thousand people. Even if the imperial army is caught off guard by a sudden attack, it should not be a problem for the defenders to persist for three to five days.

But his idea obviously did not match the reality. When he was discussing countermeasures with a group of senior military officials, the radio operator sent the latest battle report from the Shimen front line. When he opened it, it turned out to be a farewell telegram from Masaomi Hattori.In the telegram, Masaru Hattori had confirmed that the Shimen Imperial Army was completely lost. At this time, there were only less than a hundred imperial warriors left by his side, and the others were either captured or shattered. [

As for the responsibility for the defeat, Hattori Masaomi did not shirk it, and he alone fully borne it.However, Major General Hattori Masaomi also specifically mentioned that in the process of defending Shimen, a large number of imperial association troops rebelled and opened fire on the imperial army together with the Chinese people. The imperial army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.Now, the barracks, field hospitals, air defense positions, railway stations, city gates and other strategic locations have all fallen into the hands of the Chinese.In addition, Major General Hattori Masaomi also specifically mentioned one thing, that is, the Chinese paratroopers who attacked Shimen were equipped with a large number of new weapons, and their firepower far exceeded all the individual equipment currently in service in the Great Japanese Empire.I implore the empire to take precautions.

After reading the telegram, General Bin Shanyuan punched the conference table, looking at everyone with a livid face.He really couldn't figure it out, the more than ten thousand defenders were completely wiped out in just four hours, what happened, whether the fighting power of the Chinese people increased, or the fighting power of the imperial army declined.

In fact, if you want to analyze.There are reasons for both of these aspects.The number of Japanese troops in Shimen City was not very large, the regular troops were no more than 500, and the guard team composed of ronin was no more than 3000.The remaining three to 4000 people were all puppet troops, and some of them were still outside the city, scattered in various towns and towns. This kind of troop deployment gave Chen Feng's troops an opportunity to take advantage of.

Let's not talk about these.The gap between the quality of the soldiers on both sides alone is enough to make these thousands of devil soldiers completely desperate.The airborne troops in the Eighth War Zone are drawn from hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are many experienced special forces members. Moreover, the training methods and combat modes of the airborne troops are all based on the special forces, and the special forces are used as the whetstone However, in terms of individual combat power, three or five little devils are not necessarily an opponent of an airborne soldier.

In addition, the weapons and equipment of the airborne troops are also enough to make the Japanese army desperate, in view of the fact that the airborne troops have to go deep into the enemy's rear or the enemy's hinterland to fight.It has weaknesses such as complex organization and implementation, difficulty in supplying supplies behind enemy lines, and vulnerability to opponent attacks.Chen Feng also put a lot of effort into the firepower configuration of the airborne troops. The main weapon of the airborne brigade is the K47 assault rifle, each soldier carries 300 rounds, and each soldier has an M1911 pistol and a fighting knife.In order to strengthen the firepower of the airborne forces, Chen Feng also equipped some soldiers with Thompson submachine guns.

It can be said that the airborne troops in the eighth theater are completely a super force composed of automatic firepower.As for the Japanese army, the main equipment is the 1000 Gaga crooked handle light machine gun and the 10-type heavy machine gun. As for the ronin guards, they are even worse.Even with the [-] big cover in hand, it is customary to charge with a samurai sword, which is extremely stupid. More than [-] ronin were hit by the airborne regiment and a half company, and they collapsed in less than [-] minutes.

plus empty

As soon as they came up, more than 4000 airborne troops focused on attacking the enemy's key targets that were critical to the Japanese army's strategic and operational plans, such as enemy command organs, military depots, transportation hubs, and key locations.Finally, a decisive combat effect is achieved with limited strength.And Qin Wuyang controlled Yunheihu, making a large number of puppet troops on the battlefield anyway, which caused long-term chaos in the Japanese and puppet troops, which was also an important reason for the defeat of the Japanese army.It also caused the Japanese army to collapse completely under many unfavorable circumstances.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the 11th, the remnants of the Japanese army in Shimen City had basically been wiped out, and the fierce gunfire finally subsided. Even so, the people in the city were still afraid to go out. They didn't know who those flying down from the sky were. Most people are shivering in their own homes.

The garrison headquarters of the Japanese army has been completely destroyed, and the remaining hundred devils are fighting stubbornly in this small three-story building. The independent brigade fired nearly 50 rounds of 25 kg cannons.As for the effect, it was obvious. After the bombardment, the entire small building collapsed, and none of the devil soldiers, including Major General Hattori Masaomi, escaped.

Qin Wuyang immediately sent people to dig the ruins of the Japanese army headquarters on the spot, looking for useful documents.It's a pity that those paper things have already been reduced to ashes. Except for 107 Japanese soldiers' corpses and 11 seriously wounded people, nothing was found.

The garrison headquarters of the Japanese army did not gain anything, but the train stations controlled by the Japanese army and those companies where Japanese expatriates gathered gained a lot.Shimen Railway Station has a huge warehouse area divided into more than a dozen areas for stockpiling supplies.After the second airborne regiment wiped out all the more than 200 Japanese soldiers at the train station, they opened the warehouse door.They were stunned by the scene in front of them. Every warehouse was full of supplies, including daily necessities and military items. The quantity far exceeded Qin Wuyang and others' expectation.

In addition, more than a dozen trains stopped at Shimen Railway Station, some of which were loaded with coal, wood, and cotton. However, what excited Qin Wuyang was that there were four or five military trains full of weapons and medicines. This batch of weapons and equipment was enough to equip two infantry divisions, which made Qin Wuyang and Li Haiping's eyes glow with gold, secretly making a fortune.

He really made a fortune, there is no doubt about it, not to mention these seizures, the property confiscated from the gathering area of ​​a Japanese company in the east of the city also made Qin Wuyang and others smile.There are more than 600 million cash in the ocean, more than 900 kilograms of gold, in addition to various counterfeit coins, military tickets, French currency, US dollars, etc., and more than a dozen carts of antiques and cultural relics.

And the various machinery and equipment of these companies are innumerable, and their value is quite astonishing.For these Japanese materials, the Eighth War Zone is of course two words - confiscated.

In addition to the confiscation of materials, people are also confiscated.Those Japanese ronin who were lucky enough not to be killed were immediately pulled out and shot, while ordinary people were thrown into prison directly.Qin Wuyang is different from Chen Feng. When Chen Feng captured Tianjin, he only captured young adults, not women, children or children.Qin Wuyang was much more ruthless than Chen Feng, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they were Japanese, they would all be thrown into prison, there was nothing to say.

After receiving that Shimen was conquered, Yang Yi immediately moved the headquarters to Shimen and took command in person.While ordering the troops to transfer supplies, he ordered the Nangong Independent Brigade and the Handan Independent Brigade to enter the ambush positions. Once the news of Shimen's capture spreads, the devils in Shanxi will definitely not be able to sit still, and the 20th Division of the Japanese Army will definitely return. For those who aid Shimen, the Nangong Independent Brigade and the Handan Independent Brigade will have work to do.

Sure enough, when the news that Shimen was captured by the Chinese army spread to Taiyuan, General Umezu Yoshijiro turned pale with shock. He knew very well the importance of Shimen to the Imperial Japanese Army, especially the First Army stationed in Shanxi.Once Shimen changed hands, Zhengtai Railway was completely interrupted.

Once the Zhengtai Railway was cut off, the supply line of the First Army would be cut off, and the food and clothing of the more than [-] troops would become troublesome.The most important thing is medicine. Without medicine, weapons and equipment are just a pile of scrap iron, and there is no arsenal in Taiyuan City. General Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation. [

At this moment, General Umezu Yoshijiro also realized Chen Feng's purpose. The 15 army was just a cover. Although the two sides fought fiercely, the real killing move was not in Shanxi, but in Hebei, Shimen.This move is a desperate plan, as long as Shimen is guarded, it won't take long for my first army to collapse without a fight, and break through the encirclement on the way, ruthless!

It was learned that the only paratroopers and a local army that captured Shimen had a total strength of less than 20.General Umezu Yoshijiro immediately ordered the 40th Brigade of the No.[-] Division, which had just passed Niangziguan, to return to Shimen immediately and take back Shimen together with the defenders of Jingxing County.

Shimen was conquered, and the plan of the North China Front Army to encircle Wei and save Zhao had to run aground, otherwise they would not have waited for them to break through the Chinese defense line.The first army was eaten by others. One army stationed in Mongolia is enough to make the Empire of Japan lose face. If another first army is wiped out, the anger of His Majesty the emperor will completely burn all the officers of the dispatched army to pieces. , he Bin Shanyuan is no exception.

In desperation, Bin Shanyuan had no choice but to order the Kimura Division closest to Shimen to rush to Shimen immediately, and authorized the commander of the 32nd Division, Kimura Heitaro, to command the imperial troops around Shimen with full authority to quickly take Shimen back from the hands of the Chinese.But will Chen Feng, who has been prepared for a long time, let them get what they want? The answer is obvious. (to be continued...)
