Glorious Mission 1937

"Nani, our army has found the Chinese troops on both sides, are you sure?" After reading the telegram sent by the division headquarters, Major General Akiyama became restless, and shouted at Nakasa Hatoyama, chief of staff of the 127th Infantry Brigade. road.

"Hay, this is an urgent telegram sent by the Division Headquarters in a secret telegram. It must be true. Your Excellency, brigade commander, please make a decision early!"

"Baga, you should send a search team immediately. You must find out how many Chinese troops there are on the east and west sides. You should know that the Chinese troops in the encirclement can't last long. If we withdraw now A night of hard work will be in vain, I am not reconciled!" Major General Qiushan said loudly.

"Hay, I'll do it now!"

Unlike the furious Major General Qiushan, at this time the Zhaojialiang Village headquarters swept away the previous decline. Liu Li said loudly to the officers of the brigade headquarters: "Everyone, I just received a telegram from Jizong. An infantry division has reached the periphery of the battlefield and is now approaching the battlefield. In addition to the infantry, the reinforcements include three artillery brigades and an armored regiment. It is time for us to counterattack!" [

"Counterattack!"

"Counterattack!"

"Okay, pass my order: the guard battalion, the third battalion of the first regiment, and the third battalion of the second regiment will all be pushed up by my mother, and all assault rifles will be set to continuous fire. My mother can't do it!"

"Yes"

"Da da da genius special police play officialdom read the full text!"

"Da da da!"

The chief of staff of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, Saburo Isoda, who was directing operations on the front line, suddenly realized that something was wrong. The firepower of the Chinese army on the forward position suddenly increased several times.The imperial army rushing to the front was knocked down one by one, and the originally dense blocking position suddenly rose to the steel curtain. A reinforced squadron charged and was knocked down in less than 3 minutes. Watching the sparsely withdrawing imperial warriors , Chief Isoda Saburo twitched in his heart. This shit is really scary. In just a few minutes, there are only less than 240 people left in a 110 reinforced squadron. If we continue to fight like this, it will not be enough to fill in many troops. .

What puzzled Colonel Isoda Saburo the most was that the number of defenders on the opposite position had not increased, but why had the firepower become so powerful?In fact, how did he know.The firepower of the Special Mixed Third Brigade should always be so strong and fierce.But because the southward battle was going too fast this time, the troops had to carry very limited supplies. If they fired at the rate of bursts of assault rifles, they wouldn't even have enough medicine for half a day.therefore.Liu Li had to order the troops to adjust the shooting status of all assault rifles to single shots.Otherwise, such fierce firepower would have taken care of the little devil long ago.

Now reinforcements have arrived.There was no need to restrain anymore, so the Third Special Mixed Brigade really showed its minions, a firepower network composed of more than 1200 assault rifles all green.It is enough to tear up the encircled defense line of the 114th Division.It is precisely because she knows the powerful performance of assault rifles that Liu Li will let her troops act as bait that may be swallowed by the Japanese army at any time. Anyway, if it is not possible, she will gather all these more than 1000 assault rifles to break through. The line of defense composed of Gaga crooked light machine guns and Type [-] heavy machine guns could not withstand the impact of assault rifles at all, and it was not easy to break through.

The Third Special Mixed Brigade suddenly showed its power and caught the Japanese army by surprise. The Japanese army of the three squadrons charged on three sides was completely defeated.At the same time, under the command of the front-line commander, the Third Special Mixed Brigade carried out another large-scale counter-charge. The Japanese army was beaten and cried, and the effect was very good.

"Baga, you said that the Chinese army in the west of our army has a full infantry division?" Major General Qiushan asked in panic.

"Hay, Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there is not only a Chinese infantry division in the west, but also a Chinese infantry division in the east. In addition, our search team also found a large number of Chinese chariots, at least 100 or more. , and they have already exchanged fire with the 118th Cavalry Battalion!" Hatoyama reported loudly.

"Chariots, cavalry! Baga, immediately order that bastard Tojo to withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it will be over, quickly!" Major General Qiushan said loudly.

"Boom boom boom" Before Hatoyama Zhongzuo went out, there was a loud explosion outside the headquarters, and the gunshots in the distance suddenly became more intense.

Major General Akiyama's expression changed, and he asked urgently, "Heavy artillery, where did you get the heavy artillery!"

No one answered him, the only thing that responded was the more violent explosion outside the headquarters.Suddenly a cannon pierced the canvas on the command tent and exploded rapidly in the command post.

"boom"

"Your Excellency, Head of the Protection Brigade!"

Major General Akiyama only had time to hear Nakazuo Hatoyama's words, and then he didn't know anything. [

After a while, Major General Akiyama heard someone calling him. Although he felt unbearable pain all over his body and didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, as a soldier, he knew his responsibility was heavy, so he struggled to open his eyes. open.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, is awake!"

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, is awake!" the guard shouted excitedly.

"How's the situation outside?" Major General Akiyama asked intermittently.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, the situation is very bad. The Chinese are equipped with a large number of vehicles. Their speed has far exceeded our expectations. Now the troops on the east and west sides have exchanged fire with the Chinese, but they have lost a lot. Five minutes ago, the 5th Cavalry Battalion collectively shattered." Zhongzuo Hatoyama said with his head down.

"How is my situation?"

Seeing Zhongzuo Hatoyama's silent expression, Major General Akiyama was heartbroken, knowing that the situation must not be very optimistic.

"Order Chief of Staff Isoda to temporarily act as the commander, and then let him command the troops to retreat and send a report to the division headquarters to request combat guidance." After Major General Akiyama finished speaking, he fainted again!

When I came, I came uninvited, but when I left, it was not easy to leave. The encirclement of the second army's main force was actually so easy to break through. Fortunately, the Japanese army discovered it early, and the second army hadn't closed the hole, so I left it to the Japanese army A chance to escape.

Despite this, the Japanese army still suffered heavy casualties. When Colonel Isoda Saburo stood firm in Gujiaying Town, he vomited blood after counting the troops and found that there were only 1 soldiers left in the entire infantry division. In one night, there were more than 1 casualties, of which more than 4000 were produced during the battle with the Special Mixed Third Brigade, and the rest were beaten by the Second Army in the last half-hour of combat.

More importantly, most of the wounded in this battle have not had time to be sent back to the rear hospital, and even the field hospital has become a prisoner of the Chinese. Thinking of the attitude and rules of the Chinese army, the wounded must be in danger.

When the news reached Beiping, General Bin Shanyuan was shocked. Although he had judged that the Chinese army might launch an attack from the Zhangjiakou line, he did not expect the scale to be so large. The first batch of troops to participate in the attack included two infantry divisions and one infantry division. The infantry brigade, in addition to a large number of artillery and chariot soldiers, it is no wonder that the 2th Division suffered a big loss without knowing it.

Thinking that there is only one infantry division on the front line of Xiahuayuan, and now this infantry division has suffered heavy losses, General Bin Shanyuan did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the 21st Division of Beiping and the mixed fifth brigade to rush to Xiahuayuan At the same time, he ordered the 32nd Division in southern Hebei and the mixed 10th Brigade in Tianjin to immediately go north and station in Peiping.

Out of concern for the Eighth War Zone of China, Bin Shanyuan sent another telegram to the domestic base camp, just in case, requesting the base camp to immediately order the newly formed troops to be shipped to China, and this time they will not be shipped to Qingdao. Just disembark and land in Tianjin.

However, what General Bin Shanyuan did not expect was that this was just the beginning. You had just gained a firm foothold in Gujiaying Town in the 114th Division, and before you even had time to build a defensive position, more than [-] Chinese troops had already arrived. Then Gujiaying started a confrontation.

At the same time, the front line of Fenghuang Mountain, which has been silent for a long time, is no longer calm. It has just been reported that the Chinese army of about one infantry division crossed the Chinese defense zone and marched towards Chengde, and another cavalry unit attacked everywhere to harass Various strongholds of the imperial army.And the intelligence department received another bad news, that is, the Chinese army on the front line of Phoenix Mountain is far more than one infantry division, there are at least two infantry divisions and a large number of tank units and artillery units assembled there. People are ready to attack Rehe Jidong.

In addition, the Chinese army in Shanxi also moved frequently. On the afternoon of the 29th, the two infantry divisions and two artillery brigades in China suddenly went south with the cooperation of the tank troops and the air force, and launched a violent attack on the Jingle and Xinkou lines stationed by the First Army. attack.

Although the offensive didn't last long, it put enormous pressure on the front-line imperial army. The fourth division that had just been replenished lost more than 1600 men in just half a day, and morale dropped significantly.

What made Bin Shanyuan most angry was that while the 32nd Division of the Imperial Army was going north, the Tuba Road, which had been silent for a long time, was suddenly dispatched, and more than 4 people were gathered in a short period of time to surround Handan City. I don't want the imperial army to go north for reinforcements.

Handan is an important city in southern Hebei. Not only is there a large amount of weapons and medicines stored in the city, but there are also a large amount of looted supplies and mineral resources. These things are the fundamental guarantee for the imperial army to fight in the future, and they must not be left In the hands of the Chinese, General Binshan Yuan had no choice but to deploy an infantry regiment from the mixed third brigade stationed in Shimen, and 2 infantry brigades from the Puppet North China Security Army to cooperate with the infantry regiment going south.

Bin Shanyuan did not force them to wipe out those hateful Tuba roads, but he required them to ensure the safety of Handan City, at least to ensure the safety of the material within half a month.Bin Shanyuan thought that in half a month, the domestic recruits should also arrive, and there will be enough troops by then, and it is not certain who will fight who by then.
