After receiving the report that Wu Chengfeng had occupied the college in the south of the city, Peng Zeyuan, the headquarters of the 10th Infantry Division of the 41st Group Army, immediately ordered Wu Chengfeng to stand by and wait for the arrival of reinforcements. At this time, Wu Chengfeng had already led his brothers to deal with the bodies of the Japanese soldiers.
While transporting the wounded back to the field hospital at the division headquarters and reinforcing the fortifications, no one knew that there was a Japanese army ahead that had received an order to recapture the university and was heading here.
The commander of this regiment is Colonel Takashima Kazuo. His Seventy-sixth Infantry Regiment can be considered a veteran force. Now he is leading a regiment of infantry and carriers of four infantry cannons to attack the university aggressively.
Come running.
At this time, in the university building, Wu Chengfeng was directing the soldiers to set up machine gun positions, mortar positions, and seize the opportunity to send the wounded back to the rear. He was very busy.
"Captain Wang, originally your company only cooperated with our company to launch the attack, but our personnel losses just now were too heavy, and we have to trouble you to hold on until reinforcements arrive before you can retreat with us. I'm really sorry." Wu Chengfeng told the truth,
In the attack just now, Wu Chengfeng's 1st company and the 3rd company that launched the attack suffered considerable losses. Facing the desperate struggle of the Japanese, the original force of more than 300 people now only has more than 200 people.
Looking at Wu Chengfeng's somewhat apologetic look, Company Commander Wang smiled heartily and said, "Captain Wu, you are an outsider. We are all soldiers of the forward battalion, so why should we distinguish each other?"
"Lianzuo, what should I do with the bodies of those little devils?" A soldier came to ask for instructions.
"Why are you so stupid? You collected all the weapons and ammunition they had on them and put them aside. I threw the corpses downstairs." Wu Chengfeng really felt like he hated iron at this moment.
"But, Lian Zuo, if we endure it, we will break into pieces. Why don't we deal with it then?"
Hearing that the soldier's retort was reasonable, Wu Chengfeng scratched his head and said, "Okay, then let's keep them all for the time being. If the Japanese come, it's also good to build them up and use them as sandbags."
"Commander, there are Japanese troops coming towards us," the soldiers on guard on the rooftop shouted loudly.
Wu Chengfeng and Captain Wang looked at each other. It seemed that the Japanese really had no intention of giving up.
"Three companies and one platoon quickly pull up the barbed wire fence. The others are ready to fight. The enemy is not allowed to fire when they are less than 400 meters away."
Just when Wu Chengfeng and others were preparing to engage the enemy, the battles in other parts of Jinzhou City were also going on intensely. Since the besieged Japanese army already knew that there were no reinforcements, everyone acted very crazy, facing the Japanese army
In order to reduce casualties, Hu Lian ordered all the troops to fight steadily and not to rush forward. Anyway, Jinzhou will be captured sooner or later, and there is no rush. For this reason, Hu Lian also specially ordered the troops who had just been formed
Qiu Qingquan's 3rd Armored Division, which was assigned to the 42nd Army's combat order, was also incorporated into the siege team.
With his right hand gently tapping on the table, Hu Lian, who was half-closing his eyes, seemed to be taking a nap. However, the officers of the group army headquarters who were already familiar with his behavior and temperament knew that this was a state in which Hu Lian was concentrating on thinking.
The general offensive has begun for three days. During these three days, Hu Lian commanded more than 200,000 troops to conduct non-stop attacks on Jinzhou. Although the offensive seemed fierce, both Hu Lian and Isotani Rensuke knew the final outcome.
The time has not come yet. Hu Lian was afraid of forcing Isotani Rensuke to panic and jumped over the wall to massacre the people to vent his anger, but Isotani Rensuke was afraid that Chahar's army would become red-handed and attack the city with heavy artillery, so both sides maintained a
There was a tacit understanding that Chahar's army would not use heavy weapons such as heavy artillery and bombers, while Isotani Rensuke restricted the troops not to persecute the people in the city.
But by now, half of Jinzhou has been captured, and Hu Lian has temporarily moved the people inside out of the city to avoid causing greater casualties. But it is not a problem for the war to drag on for so long, but Hu Lian knows
Yes, the money and materials consumed by the more than 200,000 troops staying under Jinzhou City for every extra day can scare an ordinary person to death. Whether the war in Jinzhou can be resolved as soon as possible also affects the 7th Theater Command's attitude toward him.
Although this time he overpowered his old boss Luo Zhuoying and was able to temporarily lead two armies to attack Jinzhou, if the war drags on for a long time, Commander Su will undoubtedly lose points in his impression.
Hu Lian was very smart. When he learned that Su Tong had founded the Baath Party, he immediately called and announced that he would withdraw from the National Congress Party and join the Baath Party. However, his old superior Luo Zhuoying coyly passed the three-year plan.
Genius joined the Baath Party, and did not even send a nationwide call to quit the National Congress Party. This is probably one of the reasons why Luo Zhuoying was not appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Jinzhou Front this time.
When Su Tong established the Ba'ath Party, Hu Lian immediately realized that his Chief Su was no longer willing to be a local warlord in Chaha, but wanted to step onto the larger stage of China's central government to display his ambitions.
.
Although in Hu Lian's opinion, Chief Su's political talent is far behind his original boss, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, Hu Lian believes that this is nothing. Talent is really important. Or if his boss really is
What does a person who is proficient in all kinds of martial arts have to do on his own? As a leader, he only needs to have territory, an army, food, weapons, and enough money. And Su Tong not only has the above things,
Moreover, he has a relatively tolerant mind compared to Chairman Chiang. As his subordinate, what else can I ask for?
Just like what Chief Su often said: If wisdom can kill an elephant, why would you need a shotgun? Therefore, Hu Lian has always believed that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are ridiculous.
, Well, although Hu Lian did not deny that he often used some strategies during wars.
"Report a call from Commander Su of the Theater Command." A staff officer came and interrupted Hu Lian's thoughts.
"Nian" Hu Lian's eyelids twitched slightly without anyone noticing.
"To Jinzhou Frontline Commander Hu, according to intelligence, the Kwantung Army Headquarters has mobilized 300,000 Kwantung Army and the same number of Manchukuo puppet troops to begin building defenses around Fengtian, and mobilized heavy artillery and aircraft from China to prepare to defend Fengtian.
, and has the intention of dispatching troops to reinforce Jinzhou. At this time of emergency, the headquarters has specially ordered your troops to speed up the attack and must end the war in Jinzhou within two days without any mistakes. This order is given to Su Tong, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Theater Command on the 27th of the Republic of China.
"March 15th of the year"
"Oh, I originally thought we could spend two more days with the Japs, but I didn't expect the Japs still wouldn't give us time."
Hu Lian pondered for a while and then ordered, "Order all siege troops to increase their attack intensity. From now on, the troops should not be afraid of casualties, and all armored troops will be involved in the battle."
"yes"
Following Hu Lian's order, the sound of cannons that had rarely been heard in the past few days suddenly sounded violently throughout the city like firecrackers on New Year's Eve.
The sound of artillery coming from the city reached the ears of Colonel Takashima Kazuo of the 76th Regiment who had just arrived at the college in the south of the city. His experienced expression suddenly changed. He knew that it was the Chahar army who was going to attack the city with all its strength.
Already.
"These damn Chinese people," Kazuo Takashima cursed through gritted teeth, "First Battalion, attack immediately, and the artillery fires on that building quickly."
The "boom" 70mm anti-aircraft gun quickly hit the tall building hundreds of meters away, but only the 70mm-caliber infantry gun could attack the one-meter-thick solid outer wall that had been reinforced with steel plate concrete.
It is said that it can only make a small hole.
"Damn the Sixth Squadron, it had such a strong bunker, but it was attacked by the Chinese." Seeing that the infantry artillery attack was ineffective, Colonel Takashima Kazuo cursed the infantry squadron originally stationed here. Now he can only
It's up to the infantry.
When the First Infantry Battalion rushed four hundred meters ahead, a burst of fierce gunfire rang out. More than twenty mg42s set up in various shooting holes sprayed hot tongues of flames on the unprotected and open ground.
The army was swept to the ground in pieces.
No matter whether the Japanese soldiers were lying down, bending over, or even rolling on the ground, they could not escape the pursuit of bullets that followed them.
Kazuo Takashima's heart ached as if a knife was cutting him when he saw a brigade being hit by the enemy's condescending machine gun fire and suffering heavy casualties within a few minutes of going up.
"No, such an attack will only lead to death in vain." Kazuo Takashima held the command knife and looked at the building that could not help but spit out tongues of death flames. The knuckles of his fingers had turned white from holding them too close.
Colonel Takashima Kazuo pulled the communications soldier beside him, his red eyes widened: "Go and report to the brigade commander, the Chinese defenders here are condescending, and the infantry artillery carried by our regiment cannot hit them at all.
Wall, please send additional tanks to support."
"Hai"
When the communications soldier was about to leave, the sentry on the outside stumbled over and said, "Your Majesty Colonel, it's not good, there are a large number of Chinese soldiers moving towards us outside, there are thousands of them, and they also have
A large number of tanks will arrive here in about ten minutes."
The sentry's words hit Colonel Takashima Kazuo like a bolt from the blue. A large number of enemy soldiers were accompanied by a large number of tanks. This was very bad news. This meant that if the 76th Infantry Regiment did not attack within ten minutes,
If you retreat inside, you will be waiting to be reported as dumplings, and not even the stuffing will be left behind.
"Order the First Battalion to withdraw immediately and turn back to the direction they came from." Colonel Takashima Kazuo very wisely gave an interesting order, to turn back in the direction from which they came, which means to attack in the direction from which they set out.
"Oh my god, the little Japs are finally gone." Wu Chengfeng and others breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Japanese army retreating. In just a short period of time, Wu Chengfeng consumed more than half of the ammunition they carried. If it weren't for
If the Japanese army retreats in time, they will fight with bricks.
