Chapter 140: The Great Wall Bloody Battle (I)

Nao Takano had realized that he had lost the last chance to annihilate this elite Chinese army squad. Once such a small army enters the mountainous area, it is like a tiger with wings. He is chasing him, but his fate is likely to be dragged down by him or even completely wiped out.

In the end, the seventeen team members commanded by Qin Buer successfully met with the thirty-one team members commanded by Yao Le, and successfully attacked a cavalry company of the Jing'an Army, turning from infantry to cavalry. With the cover of the Jing'an Army's dog-skin hat and chicken shit yellow uniform, they were successfully supported by Wang Yizhe's troops.

Two batches of nine aircraft formations of the Flying Eagle Squadron of the Northeastern Army Air Force took off in Peiping flew over the Jinzhou Xijiao Airport. The wreckage of Japanese fighter jets was everywhere. When flying low, they were blocked and fired by Japanese ground fire. Jinzhou Xijiao Airport has always been designated as a restricted area for the Northeastern Air Force.

The meaning of the Beiping Military Branch is very clear, that is, if I don’t attack your Jinzhou Airport, you don’t want to bomb Peiping. We have to fight over Chengde, Rehe, and the Northeast Air Force has a certain weak advantage in terms of voyage.

It can be said that in addition to the first time since the war started, the Northeast Air Force was not only equipped with various halos, but also various shackles. This one cannot be done, nor that one can be done. It cannot take the initiative to attack the Japanese Jinzhou Xijiao Field War Airport, it cannot break the attack on the Japanese logistics transportation line, etc.

But if you don't attack the Japanese, it doesn't mean that the Japanese will agree that they won't attack you. Therefore, the Northeast Air Force stationed in Peking can prepare for war at all times, and fighter planes frequently take off to the air to patrol, so mechanical failures and spare parts consumption are on the agenda. After learning that the army brothers attacked the Japanese airport, Gao Zhihang breathed a long sigh, because the Northeast Air Force is completely imported air force, while the Japanese independently produce equipment. The battle between the two can be said to be one rises and the other declines, and the difference between the two is very big in one maintenance level.

However, the reconnaissance team of the Lalatun investigation brought back a very bad news, that is, a large number of Japanese military vehicles were transporting and loading and unloading various materials. The reconnaissance team was projected by fierce ground-to-air firepower, and there were traces of fire exchange nearby. It may have destroyed a small amount of Japanese supplies, but it was definitely not all, because at least more than one hundred Japanese trucks on the ground were transporting ammunition and drug supplies. After two fighter jets were injured, the reconnaissance team began to return.

Zhang Xueliang was a little surprised at the news that Lalatun was not destroyed, thinking that he believed that Zhang Xuewu would definitely not lie about military affairs like this. However, Zhang Xueliang also knew that even if Zhang Xuewu did not, it would be difficult to guarantee that his subordinates would not be able to do so. As for the two investigation reports and the main Japanese army's main force continued to attack Chengde, the rest of the troops attacked the pass along the Great Wall.

This news seems to be evidence that Japan's logistics has not been completely destroyed. Otherwise, how could the Japanese army dare to take such a risk? Resolutely continue to launch an offensive while cutting off logistics supplies? This is no longer within the scope of adventure, but should belong to the madness of hysteria.

Onboard! Onboard! The Battle of Chengde is destined to become a sad place for the Japanese army. The Japanese officers and soldiers of the 10th Division and the 14th Division have developed Chengde phobia. The bullets shot from the abandoned rubble suddenly jumped out of the pile of corpses and detonated cluster grenades. The Chinese military chariots acting as fixed firepower points. The explosive point lines of electric detonation seem to be emerging one after another.

Even though they shouted long live His Majesty the Emperor, it was difficult for the Japanese officers and soldiers to muster up the courage to fight hard. How many Chinese troops are there in Chengde City? Five thousand people? Seven thousand people? The intelligence departments of the Kwantung Army have become very rigorous at this moment, and even began to deny that they had submitted relevant information about the less than 10,000 Chinese defenders in Chengde before the war.

After a series of fights, more than 7,000 Chinese soldiers were killed, and the wounded were added. Therefore, the strength of the newly formed First Division of the Chinese defenders in Chengde was likely to be strengthened after the war, reaching more than 20,000.

How many casualties are needed to capture Chengde? No one can explain it clearly, but when the Japanese army attacked Chengde and attacked the passes along the Great Wall, several Japanese cavalry corps and cavalry brigades distributed in various parts of the Rehe River were all gathered and began to advance quickly towards Lingyuan, seemingly intending to reinforce, but in fact, it was to ensure the unobstructed retreat route.

In the dark and dark place of the attack and defense battle in Chengde, the key points of the passes along the Great Wall, Xifengkou and Luowenyu are all traffic channels from Pingdong to Redong. The terrain stands with peaks and the terrain is dangerous.

According to the previous meeting deployment of the Peking Military Branch, the Song Zheyuan's unit of the 29th Army was responsible for the defense mission from Chenglingzikou, through Dongjiakou, Xifengkou, Luowenyu to Malanyu.

After receiving the order, Song Zheyuan ordered the 37th Division to defend the front line of Chenglingzi to Panjiakou with Santun Camp as the center, and the 38th Division to defend the front line of Longjing Pass to Malanyu with Zunhua as the center, and ordered the temporary second division to gather from Yutian to Ping'an Town and Dongxinzhuang Town on standby.

What was beyond Song Zheyuan's surprise was that after the defense was completed, the Beiping Military Branch was delayed in sending a counterattack order? You should know that the person who was besieged Chengde was your cousin of Zhang Xueliang. The army was the German division of the Central Army, and the foundation was the Seventh Infantry Brigade of the Northeast Army. No matter from any aspect, Song Zheyuan did not want to and had no obligation to take this lead.

Was he waiting for the Central Army headquarters? But two days later, the three divisions of the Central Army arrived one after another, and the combat orders were still not issued? Song Zheyuan was very strange now. He refused to save him when he saw death? If this was true, wouldn't it be too unfair to die at the beginning of the 106th Division Shen Ke's troops died?

Unexpectedly, Song Zheyuan learned that the newly formed First Division commando had attacked the Japanese Chaoyang Logistics Supply Base and Jinzhou Airport not long ago. Song Zheyuan was keenly aware of the emergence of major fighter jets, so he ordered the entire 29th Army to be on guard, and its vanguard troops were ready to go out of Xifengkou at any time.

On March 25, before Song Zheyuan took the initiative, the Japanese army came to the door first. The main force commanded by Major General Hattorijiro, the 14th Brigade, launched a sudden attack at night and occupied the crucial gate. This was equivalent to giving Song Zheyuan a loud slap in the face. Who was Song Zheyuan? He immediately ordered the 29th Army to immediately join the battle with a supplementary regiment, and temporarily stabilized the situation on the battlefield.

Song Zheyuan personally led the main force of the 29th Army to counterattack along the Hifengkou and blocked the invading Japanese army for tactical detours. Hattori Mixed Brigade commanded the 14th Mixed Brigade and the 29th Army to repeatedly engage in hand-to-hand combat on the positions on both sides of the Hifengkou. Several high grounds were lost and regained, and the war was fierce.
