It was already past twelve o'clock in the night, and the war room was still brightly lit and crowded.
Amidst the rapid footsteps, Liu Yi walked into the war room excitedly and said to Yue Weihan: "General, the New 9th Division set up an ambush near Guanglu Mountain and annihilated Cai Xiongfei's Puppet 8th Division in one fell swoop, killing more than a thousand people and taking prisoners.
More than 6,000 people! However, this kid Chi Chengfeng was so murderous that he even chopped Cai Xiongfei alive in front of everyone."
"Just chop him off, he's just a traitor." Yue Weihan said calmly.
Liu Yi nodded and said: "In addition, the New 53rd Regiment also defeated the Puppet 7th Division. The New 51st Regiment and the New 52nd Regiment also completely gained the upper hand in the battle with the Japanese 5th Division. Ma Zhenting, the commander of the New 51st Regiment
We even conducted an ambush battle by the Yehe River and wiped out all the Japanese tank squadrons that were charging out of the city, totaling twenty tanks!"
"Okay!" Yue Weihan nodded happily and said, "Where is the new 39th Division?"
"There is no news from the New 39th Division yet..." Before Liu Yi finished speaking, Colonel Liu Xin walked into the war room quickly.
"General seat." Colonel Liu Xin snapped to attention and saluted Yue Weihan with a standard military salute. "The New 39th Division urgently received a call. Ten minutes ago, it completely annihilated the 13th Division belonging to the 6th Group Army of the Puppet North China Public Security Army. Among them were killed.
More than 500 people were killed and more than 4,000 people were captured. The number of guns and ammunition seized is still under intense counting."
"Haha, the new 39th Division has also finished its work." Liu Yi smiled when he heard this.
"Yeah." Yue Weihan said happily, "I really want to see Okamura Neji's expression at this moment."
…………
Shimen, North China Front Army Headquarters.
"What!?" Okamura Neji stood up suddenly after hearing this, stared at Major General Hirata, and said in disbelief, "The 8th and 13th divisions of the Imperial Alliance Army were completely destroyed, and the 7th division was defeated?"
"Hai." Masaru Hirata suddenly lowered his head, his expression gloomy.
Now it seems that deploying the nine divisions of the Imperial Association Army on the front line was a complete mistake!
The Chinese *** team on the opposite side only launched a night assault, and actually annihilated two divisions of the Imperial Association Army, and defeated another division. As a result, the first batch of nine divisions of the Imperial Association Army were lost at once.
At this rate of consumption, one-third of the troops will not be able to last for three days, and all the Imperial Alliance Army structures may be cancelled.
Okamura Neji even pointed at these Imperial Alliance troops as cannon fodder, but he didn't expect this to happen!
"Bagagaru!" Neji Okamura said angrily, "Sand, this is simply an army made of sand!"
After a long while, Okamura Neiji calmed down the anger in his chest and said in a deep voice: "Order that the 5th and 10th divisions immediately deploy from Pingshan to Zanhuang, and repair fortifications overnight to guard against the China Army's night attack! Again!
Send electricity to Peiping and order Qi Xieyuan to transfer the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army to Shimen!"
"Hai." Masaru Hirata lowered his head suddenly and immediately took the order and left.
At 7:00 a.m. on March 21, the 30th year of the Republic of China (1941).
As soon as the sky got light, more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces from the 5th Brigade of Japanese Field Heavy Artillery began to bombard Tumen Fortress. After two test firings, hundreds of heavy artillery pieces began to fire continuously and rapidly, and tons and tons of heavy artillery were fired.
The grenades were dumped on various hills of Tumen Fortress as if they were free of charge.
All of a sudden, all the hills of Tumen Fortress were blown up, causing earth and rocks to fly everywhere, and gunpowder smoke filled the air.
Half an hour after the bombardment, the first batch of bombers from the Aviation Corps directly under the North China Front also arrived. Dozens of fighter-bombers were arranged in a formation of three in more than a dozen echelons, swooping down from the sky one after another, dropping one after another.
Heavy aerial bombs were thrown on the hills of Tumen Fortress, and immediately, huge mushroom clouds rose up from the hills.
The main bunker of Baodu Mountain has two underground floors.
There was silence in the lounge deep underground. Only the huge explosion sound transmitted from the surface made everyone's eardrums roar. At this moment, even the solid reinforced concrete floor was trembling, and the light bulbs on the ceiling were shaking violently.
The ground shook, and the light cast by it became flickering...
However, Li Qinglong looked calm and even in the mood to make coffee.
Li Qinglong's only left eye was slightly squinted. His calmness was definitely not an act. This one-eyed dragon indeed had enough confidence in the bunker fortifications of Tumen Fortress. The Japs' heavy bombs were powerful.
But it can't burrow into the ground, so don't even think about destroying the bunker fortifications of Tumen Fortress.
"Dandan, sing a little song." The one-eyed dragon suddenly turned his head and looked at the adjutant beside him with a half-smile.
Ever since Yuhu became Yue Weihan's adjutant, the senior generals of the 39th Group Army were very envious and wanted to find a beautiful and powerful adjutant for themselves. There were many beautiful female soldiers in the group army, but the most powerful ones were
There are not many, so so far only One-Eyed Dragon has fulfilled his wish and conquered Major Hu Dan of the Communications Team.
Major Hu Dan was born in the military, and he once accompanied Liu Tiezhu's special operations brigade to hunt down Seishiro Sakagaki. Although her skills were not as good as those monster soldiers in the special operations brigade, three or five ordinary soldiers were really no match for her.
Therefore, Li Qinglong was undoubtedly quite satisfied with Hu Dan, his aide-de-camp and lover.
Hu Dan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Qinglong and said angrily: "How long has it been? Are you still in the mood to listen to a ditty?"
"When is this? It's during sex!" Li Qinglong suddenly stretched out his right hand, grabbed Hu Dan's waist, and then forced her plump body onto his lap. Hu Dan spat softly.
He took a sip, but had no intention of resisting. Anyway, this was Li Qinglong's officers' lounge, and no one would come in and disturb him without permission.
The shelling and bombing lasted for two full hours!
It was not until 9 a.m. that the 5th Japanese Field Heavy Artillery Brigade stopped shelling. Six batches of more than 200 bombers from the North China Front's aviation corps had also dropped all their aerial bombs and launched another attack on the smoke-filled soil.
After several rounds of dive and strafing, the Gate Fortress finally fluttered its wings and returned.
At 9:15 in the morning, the Japanese army finally began their ground attack.
Li Qinglong, who had just arrived at the ground observation post, looked out through the artillery mirror and could vaguely see about two squadrons of Japanese infantry driving more than a thousand puppet troops into a fan-shaped skirmish formation toward the outermost trench of Tumen Fortress.
Slowly approaching, when they were still a thousand meters away from the outer trenches, the Japanese and puppet troops suddenly began to accelerate, howling and began to charge.
The three trenches outside Tumen Fortress were silent, not even a human being was seen.
Seeing that the Japanese position on the opposite side showed no reaction, the Japanese and puppet troops immediately began to accelerate.
When the Japanese and puppet troops were still 200 meters away from the outer trenches, hundreds of *** officers and soldiers suddenly emerged from the trenches. Soon after, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and dozens of mortars were launched.
The cannon had been set up, and the next moment, intensive machine gun fire suddenly covered the entire wilderness directly in front of Tumen Fortress.
The puppet troops who were charging forward suddenly fell down piece by piece.
The Japanese soldiers hiding behind were not much better. They were the key targets of dozens of mortars fired by the Japanese.
The first attack by the Japanese and puppet troops only lasted less than ten minutes before they retreated hastily. However, hundreds of corpses were left on the battlefield, and more Japanese and puppet troops were only injured and lying in a pool of blood.
Struggling, wailing, and screaming, this is destined to be a bloody battle, and the tragic atmosphere has enveloped the entire Tumen battlefield from the beginning...
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army started retaliatory bombardment again, but the little devils continued to do the same thing.
However, this time, it was no longer the hundreds of heavy artillery pieces of the 5th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade that conducted the artillery bombardment, but the field artillery regiments of various Japanese field divisions. In just half an hour, the Japanese 17th,
18. Hundreds of field howitzers of the 20th Division dumped hundreds of tons of shells on Tumen Fortress.
Then, the Japanese army launched a second attack.
Facing the solid Domen Fortress and complete defense system, the Japanese army seemed to have few options.
If the heavy artillery cannot explode and the aerial bombs cannot blast flat, the Japanese army can only use human sea tactics to consume the Japanese ammunition.
In fact, not only the Japanese army, but even the most elite German army in the world had little to do when faced with strong fortifications. When the German army blitzed France a few years ago, it was also because the German army unexpectedly passed through the Netherlands and Belgium, bypassing the fortifications.
The Maginot Line finally drove straight into Paris and successfully attacked Paris.
Okamura Neiji originally had the opportunity to bypass the solid Tumen Fortress, and the Japanese army also had the opportunity to launch a brutal war of attrition with the 39th Army of the Japanese Army in the Taihang Mountains on both sides of the Tumen Fortress. However, unfortunately, far away in the east of Tokyo,
Soldier Jojo made a stupid decision, forcing Neji Okamura and the Japanese army to storm the Domon Fortress.
Under the powerful and intensive firepower of the Japanese army, the second attack of the Japanese and puppet troops was quickly repelled.
Hundreds of corpses were once again left on the battlefield. The wounded in the last attack did not receive timely treatment, and many eventually died due to excessive bleeding.
Then the Japanese army began a third round of shelling.
Then came the fourth charge of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Only when the sky was completely dark did the Japanese army end their ninth attack.
At this time, the wilderness outside Tumen Fortress was already covered with corpses. A rough estimate was that there were at least more than two thousand corpses. This did not include the wounded who had not yet died. Of course, the vast majority of them were pseudo-North China Autonomous People.
Among the two Japanese soldiers in the army, relatively few Japanese soldiers died in the battle, totaling only about five or six hundred people.
The Japanese army had no intention of rescuing the wounded while it was dark, and it was even less likely that the Japanese would repay evil with kindness.
The officers and soldiers of the 39th Army of the Communist Party of China will never have the slightest pity for the traitors of the Japanese and Japanese who helped the emperor to commit crimes.
In the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, these Japs were no longer Chinese after they put on their dog skins, and there was no psychological burden at all in shooting them.
Shimen, North China Front Army Headquarters.
Shogun Hirata opened the folder and was reporting to Okamura Neiji on the battle losses of the Japanese and puppet troops after a day of fierce fighting: "547 people of the 114th Infantry Regiment of the 18th Division were broken into pieces, and more than 100 people were seriously injured. The Imperial Alliance Army
The 1st Division of the 1st Group Army lost more than 2,000 people, and the 8th Flying Regiment of the Aviation Regiment directly under the Front Army lost two medium bombers (shot down by anti-aircraft machine guns)."
After listening to Masanori Hirata's report, the corners of Okamura Neji's mouth couldn't help but twitch violently twice.
One day, in just one day of fierce fighting, more than 600 elite infantrymen were killed or injured. This is basically the basic combat unit of an infantry brigade. Although a Japanese infantry brigade has more than a thousand people, there are only more than 700 real infantrymen.
According to the daily consumption rate of an infantry brigade, a regiment can be destroyed in three days, and a division can be destroyed in twelve days!
According to the results of the war games conducted by the General Staff Department, the squadron of Tumen Fortress can hold on for at least four months!
In other words, if the Japanese army chooses to attack to the end, it is likely to lose ten field divisions before they can capture Tumen Fortress, and there must be enough puppet troops to serve as cannon fodder for the Japanese army. According to the first day of the attack
After the end, judging from the ratio of casualties between the Japanese army and the puppet army, the number of puppet army losses will be as high as fifty divisions!
This is an extremely terrifying number. The pseudo-North China Security Army now only has 18 divisions in total.
When Okamura Neiji was secretly frightened, his aide-de-camp suddenly came in and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander, General Qi Xieyuan, Commander-in-Chief of the North China Security Army, wants to see you."
"Qi Xieyuan?" Okamura Neiji frowned and ordered, "Bring him in."
"Hai." The adjutant followed the order and soon led Qi Xieyuan into the office.
"Qi Sang, welcome to your arrival." Okamura Neiji came forward with enthusiasm and hugged Qi Xieyuan warmly.
Qi Xieyuan was a skinny little old man and a die-hard traitor. However, he was still dissatisfied with Okamura Neji using his troops as cannon fodder. He then said with a sad face: "Taijun Okamura, the losses of the Imperial Alliance Army in these two days have been great."
It’s too big, can the imperial army take the lead in tomorrow’s attack?”
"Baga!" Masaru Hirata said angrily, "How dare you negotiate terms with the imperial army?"
"Hirata-kun!" Okamura Neji glared at Shogun Hirata coldly, and then said to Qi Xieyuan with a smile on his face, "Qi Sang, the casualties of the Imperial Alliance Army have indeed been heavy in the past two days, but tomorrow the Imperial Alliance will still have to
The army is responsible for the main attack, please understand this, but as compensation, after the Taihang Mountain Battle, I can consider expanding the Imperial Alliance Army."
"Oh? I wonder how many armies Taijun Okamura plans to add to our Imperial Alliance Army?" Qi Xieyuan was suddenly moved. As an officer leading troops, he hopes that the size of his army will be as large as possible. This is like a
For a gambler, troops are the bets in his hand. The more troops there are, the more abundant the bets will be and the more he will win.
Okamura Neiji said: "Qisang, how about I give you the organization of eight more army groups?"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Okamura, our Imperial Army will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor to the death!" Qi Xieyuan was immediately overjoyed when he heard this. Thinking about this old thing, as long as Okamura Neji agrees to expand, even if all the current eight armies are destroyed
It doesn't matter, there are a lot of young and middle-aged people in North China anyway, and as long as the Japanese empire doesn't fall, the troops can be raised up again at any time.
