Glorious Mission 1937

Needless to say, the importance of Shimen, the logistics base of the transportation hub, if Shimen is lost, then the entire First Army stationed in Shanxi will really become a bastard in the urn, Chen Feng's tactic of closing the door and beating the dog can be said to have really hit the Japanese army's weakness on.In order to keep Shimen and leave a way for the first army stationed in Shanxi, Bin Shanyuan had to transfer the No. The division, the mixed eighth brigade and other troops defended Shimen together.

In view of the strong armored strength of the Chinese army, Lieutenant General Heitaro Kimura, the commander in charge of the defensive command of the Shimen area, did not block Chen Feng's troops along the way, but concentrated all the troops on the periphery of Shimen.With Shimen as the center, focus on defending Zhengding, Luquan and other counties, and build a solid line of defense around Shimen with an army of [-].

Just in case, Kimura Heutaro also drove the Chinese people in Shimen City to build city defenses, focusing on building commanding heights and semi-basement bunkers in the city for street fighting.At the same time, in order to contain Chen Feng's troops, the Japanese army captured all the common people around Shimen into Shimen City, in order to make Chen Feng's troops feel apprehensive and not to bomb Shimen.

After learning that the guard of Shimen turned out to be Heutaro Kimura, Chen Feng knew that Shimen must be a tough nut to crack.Chen Feng was very familiar with Kimura Heutaro. He was one of the people in the Yasukuni Shrine in later generations, and he was also one of the 28 Class A war criminals who were hanged by the Far East Military Tribunal.

If you say that Kimura Heutaro is a famous person, his brutal name resounds all over the world.It's different from the cruelty of Numata Shigetoku's pervert.Kimura Heitaro is more like a butcher with a front and rear.Heitaro Kimura was born in a military family. His father was Isuke Sasakimura, a former Army Major who died in the Russo-Japanese War.Heitaro Kimura was born in the Artillery Division, and has been engaged in the development and development of field weapons and equipment in the Japanese Army for a long time. He is a well-known "artillery expert" in the Japanese Army. [

On August 1936, 8, Kimura Heutaro was promoted to Major General of the Army.After the outbreak of the full-scale war of aggression against China, Kimura Hyotaro served as the commander of field weapons in the base camp.Until then, Kimura Hyoutaro has always been an artillery expert of the Japanese Army, responsible for the development and development of field weapons and equipment.It was not until March 1 that he was appointed as the head of the 39nd Division Lieutenant General. Shortly after taking office, Kimura Heutaro led the troops to Yanzhou, Shandong.And immediately started preparing for a crazy sweep of our Shandong base.Only then did Heitaro Kimura show his butcher's fangs.

On April 1939, 4, Kimura Heutaro led more than 14 Japanese troops, dispatched from Zouxian County, Tengxian County, Zaozhuang, Linyi and other places to "sweep" the Baodugu Mountains.In an attempt to find and wipe out the main force of the 8000th Division of the Eighth Route Army.Destroy our Lunan Anti-Japanese Base.Before leading the team to "go out".Kimura Bingtaro's combat order to the troops is: to wipe out the Eighth Route Army and the base area at all costs, regardless of men, women, young or old, in the base area.All must be killed, leaving no future troubles. All houses must be burned, and all food and grass that cannot be transported must also be burned.Its arrogance is really arrogant.However, the menacing Kimura Division was dragged around by the guerrilla warfare of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and was exhausted. Not only did it fail to "completely wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army", on the contrary, it fell down and lost its soldiers.In desperation, Kimura Heitaro ordered the Japanese soldiers to carry out a bloody massacre of the unarmed people.

Heitaro Kimura ordered his soldiers to detain more than 2000 ordinary people in the Jinan Xinhua Institute concentration camp.Every laborer sent here will have 200 blood drawn every day. The Japanese army deceived the laborers that it was for laboratory tests, but in fact it was blood transfusion for the wounded Japanese soldiers. Many people died due to excessive blood draw.Some rebels were tortured and even bitten by the released wolf dogs.The walls of the concentration camp were surrounded by high-voltage power grids, and many escaped laborers were electrocuted to death on it, and those who were captured would also be killed by the Japanese army using extremely cruel means.During the day, he ordered the Japanese army to escort the "captives" to do hard labor, and at night they were locked in a dark, cold, damp, and smelly room, and they were often given a meal for three days.If someone expresses dissatisfaction or resistance, they will severely beat him, or release ferocious wolf dogs to bite him.For those who escaped, they used wires to pierce the palms of their hands, hanged them from trees, or used bayonets to force them to dig their own holes, and then stabbed them to death and buried them.This man's madness is evident.

After learning that Kimura Heutaro and his 32nd Division had been dispatched to Shimen, Chen Feng hurriedly sent people to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army, and he found that Kimura was arresting ordinary people wantonly.Chen Feng hastily sent electricity to the Yan'an side, hoping that they would immediately order the local guerrillas and underground organizations in Jizhong to help the people move, and at the same time order the troops to speed up their march.

Under Chen Feng's order, two armies attacked six county towns in one day. Ma Cao's troops finally captured Lingshou County on the morning of December 6, and Yang Yi's troops even reached the northwestern part of Zhengding County. Xin'an Town.

The Chinese army was approaching the city, and Kimura Heutaro couldn't care less about arresting ordinary people. Of course, another reason was that this butcher believed that [-] Chinese ordinary people were enough. Based on his knowledge of the Chinese generals, no one would Those who dared to disregard those people's life and death, even that hateful Chen Feng would not dare.As long as there are some Chinese people in their hands, it is equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death.

The battle in Zhengding County has already started. Two infantry regiments of the Japanese army and an infantry division of the puppet army are stationed in Zhengding County, relying on favorable fortifications to deal with Yang Yi's troops.

The tentative attack is over, and the Japanese army fought very tenaciously, but the anti-tank trenches and anti-tank cones they dug in advance were of no use at all. In front of the T34 tank, they were crushed like mud and paper. .The battle lasted less than 2 hours, and the three lines of defense outside Zhengding County were all defeated, and the remaining 1 puppet troops withdrew into Zhengding County to continue to resist.

There is a city wall in Zhengding County, and it is still very strong. Now the armored force has lost its effect, but this is not a problem for the eighth theater. The armored force has lost its effect, isn't there a heavy artillery force?Under Yang Yi's order, the heavy artillery regiment came on stage, and 36 heavy howitzers lined up to fire at Zhengding County.

"Boom"

"Boom"

The bombardment for half an hour made the entire east gate of Zhengding County crumbling. The powerful M101 heavy howitzer cracked the city wall of Zhengding County, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the city were terrified.

In order to keep the city wall, Major General Yuichi Ozawa, the Japanese commander who was in charge of the Zhengding County campaign, drove thousands of Chinese people to the city head in a frenzy. If the eighth theater continued to fire, these people would suffer first.

Regardless of whether it was contempt or scolding, at least Yang Yi didn't dare to continue attacking before asking Chen Feng for instructions, and the battle was suspended immediately.

After receiving Yang Yi's telegram, Chen Feng was furious. This kind of thing is the most difficult to solve. The Japanese are going all out, forgetting all the etiquette, justice, integrity and shame. The only idea is to prevent the Chinese army from continuing to attack.But the eighth war zone has to attack. It is advisable to chase after the poor bandits bravely, and not to be known as the overlord.How can such a good opportunity be given up? Besides, the Japanese are wolves, and what they like most is to push their noses and face their faces. If the Eighth War Zone compromises this time, then the next battle will be difficult. The Japanese army saw it If the battle is not going well, the people will be driven away, and this has to be guarded against.

After thinking about it again and again, Chen Feng believed that there was absolutely no way to compromise with the Japanese army. He ordered Yang Yi's troops to suspend the attack, and the whole army buried their pots to prepare for the night battle.At the same time, Chen Feng ordered Qin Wuyang, who had returned to Sui, to send a report, ordering his paratroopers to unite immediately and raid Zhengding County at three o'clock tomorrow morning.

In addition, Yang Yi and Qin Wuyang received a secret order at the same time that all Japanese prisoners should be executed on the spot.

Such an order is no longer a secret in the Eighth War Zone. They also know Commander Chen's temper. Once the Japanese army plays any shameful tricks, Commander Chen will retaliate immediately. If it doesn't work, he will be doing what he thinks, but it certainly won't just pass like this.

However, what Chen Feng and others did not expect was that a major incident happened in Zhengding County that night. Infighting broke out within the Japanese and puppet troops. A deputy division commander of the 7th Division of the puppet infantry led the division commander, staff officer and two brigade commanders. They were all detained, and at the same time, several regiment leaders were called together to stage an uprising at twelve o'clock in the evening. [

The Seventh Division of the Puppet Army Infantry was expanded from the former Zhengding Security Regiment of Hebei Province. The division has more than [-] people, and more than half of the officers and soldiers are from Zhengding. If they are not from Zhengding, they are from other counties in central Hebei. The people here can be said to be local.

Wang Yaohu, the commander of the 7th Division of the Puppet Infantry, was originally a bandit with the bandit name "Wang Tiger".Wang Huhu's strength is not small, far beyond the reach of ordinary small gangsters. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this guy was entrenched in the Taihang Mountains, and there were more than two thousand bandits under his command.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Huo saw that the Japanese were powerful, and under the coercion and lure of the Japanese army, he finally defected to the Japanese army and became a traitor.The Japanese army did not treat Wang Tiger badly. He was firmly the commander of the No. 13 Group of the North China Security Force. According to the establishment of the puppet army, this group was equivalent to a brigade.

And this guy's luck is really good. He didn't encounter this 13th group after several attacks in the eighth war zone. Half a year ago, the puppet army was expanded, and Wang Laohu's unit was expanded into the 7th Division of the North China Security Army Infantry. The total strength reached There are more than [-] people, which is relatively large among all the infantry divisions of the puppet army. (to be continued...)
