After the two armies came together, there were a total of 8,000 people. They marched toward Jingxingguan in a mighty manner.
He didn't care at all about the Japanese aggressors' reconnaissance and never concealed his whereabouts.
Heavy machine gun, held high.
Mortar, held high.
Field artillery was pulled by mules.
The six field guns given to the 28th Regiment were also delivered at the last minute of five hours.
Niu Maocai was so happy. He held Zhang Chu's hand and refused to let go no matter what. As a thank you, he must give Zhang Chu a bottle of wine. He said it was brewed by the 28th Group himself. It was called a drop of fragrance.
"Invented by Captain Ding?"
"It was the name given by Captain Ding. Let me tell you, this wine sells very well. Even the Japanese have to pay high prices to buy it!"
"Is it so powerful?"
"certainly!"
Niu Maocai looked proud.
Zhang Chu accepted the drop of incense and turned around to pat Li Yunlong on his ass.
What else to drink with sweet potato roast?
Look at the wine made by other people Ding Wei, that’s called wine.
But, having said that, the 28th Regiment has so many side jobs. I don’t know what it will be like in a war.
As far as he knew, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the performance of the North China Liberated Area was not very good. It was last among the five major strategic areas. It suffered consecutive defeats.
Later, the commander-in-chief arrived at Xibaipo and gave personal instructions. Only by giving hand-in-hand instructions could the North China Field Army be put on the right track.
According to the lessons learned by the Commander-in-Chief, the various units in North China have too many things and they are reluctant to give up. The troops are unable to truly maneuver strategically.
...that's too far.
Whether you can fight or not will only be known after you have fought.
They pulled up to the vicinity of Jingxing Pass in a mighty manner and began to prepare for the attack.
Whatever weapons you have, put them all on display.
The purpose of being hidden was to make the Japanese invaders see it. It was to make the Japanese invaders panic.
"Nani?"
"How many?"
Ichiki Kiyoshi was shocked.
There are actually tens of thousands of people on Tubal Road?
Thousands……
idiot!
How can it be?
He hurriedly walked to the higher ground.
Raise your telescope...
OMG!
His eyes immediately bulged out.
For a moment, I felt like I couldn't breathe.
sky!
What his subordinates said was right.
The number of Tuba Road is really too many, too many, too many...too many, too many.
Everything is overwhelming.
Moreover, almost everyone is wearing military uniform.
The 28th Regiment belongs to the Jizhong Military Region. It is relatively wealthy there and has little problem with military uniforms. Therefore, although the equipment is not very good, the military uniforms are more than enough.
Only some sporadic guerrillas who joined later and did not wear military uniforms could create such a spectacular scene.
No matter how arrogant and upright I am, I would not dare to ignore tens of thousands of people.
Especially after his troops suffered heavy losses.
"Release Okamoto!"
Ichiki Kiyoshi gave the order angrily.
Okamoto was his subordinate and was imprisoned by him.
Because I led a large group to attack and lost half of it. It was really embarrassing.
Okamoto argued that the Tubalu he met was too powerful. But Ichiki Kiyonao refused to believe it. In his opinion, how powerful could Tubalu be?
With the combat effectiveness of a Japanese army brigade, it can defeat a Central Army division!
What’s more, it’s Tubal Road?
Now it seems that Tubalu is really powerful.
Not only are there more people, but they also have more guys in their hands.
"idiot……"
"Tubal Road actually has field artillery..."
"idiot!"
Ichiki Kiyoshi couldn't help but curse.
What do the intelligence agencies do? There are so many people gathering on Tuba Road, but there is no advance warning?
There are so many Tubal groups, at least five regiments or more. They are all the main force. The Intelligence Department actually ignores it?
idiot!
Those useless advisors!
Every one of them must be sent for caesarean section!
Report to superiors immediately.
His superior is the First Army Headquarters.
Such an important stronghold is of course directly controlled by the First Army Headquarters.
"Nani?"
"The main force of Tubal Road in the five regiments? They also carry field artillery?"
"Where did it come from?"
Yoshio Shinozuka was also shocked.
Fortunately, he was a Confucian general after all and never cursed out his mouth.
But the shock in my heart could not be greater.
Because, this situation has been greatly beyond the control of Yoshio Shinozuka.
Cangyun Ridge...
Ping'an County...
Fanxian...
Shuiquan Railway Station...
There are already four places where fierce fighting is going on. Eighth Route Army is everywhere.
In several places, Tubal Road still has the upper hand temporarily. The battle is very fierce. Now Tubal Road is preparing to besiege Jingxing Pass?
idiot!
Is this okay?
How can the imperial army have so many troops to deal with it?
In order to rescue Shuiquan Railway Station, he had already exhausted all the troops in Shouyin City.
If Tubal Road attacked Shouyin City, there would be nothing he could do.
Because, now, he no longer has any mobile troops.
Other mobile forces are unable to save the fire from far away. For example, the 36th Division, the 41st Division, and the 20th Division are all out of reach.
what to do?
what to do?
"Your Excellency, Commander, the 108th Division stationed at Shimen..."
The deputy chief of staff said cautiously.
As a result, Yoshio Shinozuka showed no reaction.
The deputy chief of staff did not dare to continue talking. He knew that the commander did not want to hear it.
Because if you want to mobilize the 108th Division, you must ask for help from the commander of the North China Front, Tada Shun. The 108th Division is under the jurisdiction of Tada Shun.
There is a small problem here, that is, the relationship between Yoshio Shinozuka and Shun Tada is not very good.
It is very embarrassing to ask Tada Shun for help.
Tada Shun will definitely send someone to rescue him, but he will definitely also make fun of him.
Yoshio Shinozuka is very face-conscious and will never ask for help easily.
The problem is, if there are no reinforcements...
"Order Hyakutake Harukichi to join the defenders of Shuiquan Railway Station and move to Jingxingguan Fortress."
"It's urgent, act immediately!"
In the end, Yoshio Shinozuka decided to give up his car to save his handsome man.
Shouyin City is lost. It doesn't matter. You can get it back later.
It doesn’t matter if Shuiquan Railway Station is lost, you can get it back later.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the Jingxingguan Fortress is lost. But that will make the Japanese army in Hebei Province laugh.
There are some things that are good if only insiders know about them, but not good for outsiders to know.
By guarding the Jingxingguan Fortress, traffic can be kept smooth.
Moreover, it also involves Jingxing Coal Mine.
There is Manchuria and the Black Dragon Society's forces in the coal mine.
He would rather offend Shun Tada than the Mantetsu gang.
Mantie people are in charge of the money bag.
Even Prime Minister Hideki Tojo has to look at their faces.
Behind the Mantetsu is the Emperor.
After all, every idiot knows that money is needed to fight a war. How can you fight a war without money?
If your financial path is cut off, the consequences will be disastrous.
It will be easy as long as we hold on to the Jingxing Coal Mine.
For the rest, he will slowly think of ways to raise troops.
Tada Shun had a bad relationship with him, but Itagaki Seishiro had a good relationship with him.
As long as Itagaki Seishiro promised to mobilize reinforcements for him, he would have a chance to turn defeat into victory. However, it would take time for Itagaki Seishiro to mobilize troops.
Abandoning Shuiquan Railway Station is to buy enough time to deploy troops and generals.
"Tie!"
The deputy chief of staff immediately went out to deliver the order.
The telegram soon arrived at Shuizhen Railway Station and in front of Hyakutake Haruyoshi.
Because Zhang Chu had evacuated and other reinforcements had not arrived, Ding Wei's pressure on Shuiquan Railway Station was limited.
What can we do with only four hundred people?
Hyakutake Haruyoshi, who came with the entire regiment for reinforcements, successfully entered the Shuizhen Railway Station.
Saburo Saito and Miyano finally came out of the underground headquarters and could breathe some fresh air.
Now, three Japanese major generals have gathered at Shuiquan Railway Station.
The defensive strength increased to more than 5,000 people.
The original garrison captain Niijima Kyouichiro has completely become a nobody. He can only bend down and obey orders.
Hyakutake Harukichi read the telegram once.
"The commander ordered us to abandon Shuiquan Railway Station immediately and go to Jingxing Pass."
"Understood."
Saito and Miyano looked at each other.
That's all it can do now.
Going to Jingxingguan is the safest. At the same time, it is also the most profitable.
Why?
Because there are many coal mines nearby.
In addition to the army, there are also a large number of Japanese nearby.
If the Tubal Road was allowed to conquer that area, the consequences would be disastrous. The pressure from Manchuria Railway and other parties would make Yoshio Shinozuka very uncomfortable.
Relatively speaking, giving up Shuiquan Railway Station and Shouyin City is not a big problem.
At most it can be regarded as a strategic decision-making error.
In terms of specific economic benefits, there should not be much loss. Just wait until the Japanese army frees up their hands to recapture it.
"Niijima-kun, act immediately!"
"Tie!"
Hyakutake Harukichi issued the order.
Kyouichiro Niijima immediately ordered the Suizen Railway Station to be abandoned and all supplies destroyed.
Not a single bullet can be left for Tubal Road!
Blow up everything that can be blown up! Burn everything that can't be blown up!
"boom!"
"boom!"
For a time, the sound of explosions continued inside the train station.
Ding Wei looked at the clusters of fires in confusion, not knowing what was going on. After a long time, he learned that the Japanese invaders were about to abandon the train station.
Immediately I saw the Japanese invaders moving eastward, leaving only an empty station.
He did his job and immediately led people into the train station.
Unfortunately, this place is already an empty white space.
Almost nothing was seized.
The Japanese invaders destroyed it thoroughly.
Pity……
The train station was taken down, but it seems like it didn't bring any benefits?
I don’t know what Zhang Chu is thinking...
Zhang Chu in the distance unexpectedly received a message.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on completing your first mandatory mission..."
"Congratulations on successfully occupying Shuiquan Railway Station..."
