Chapter 253 This is really not to treat beanbags as dry food
As in the past, the Japanese army invaded Jehol in three armies from the north, middle and south. They basically repelled the frontal resistance of the national army at the end of February and early March. It was not until March 9 that the Japanese army arrived in Jehol in two brigades of the 14th Brigade.
Outside the peak entrance, the Battle of Jehol was declared over.
Marshal Zhang once again reappeared in the eyes of the people as a scapegoat. On March 12, at the instruction of the bald principal, he resigned and was replaced by He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs.
The Chinese side was still changing generals, but the Japanese army still launched in an orderly manner according to its own combat plan.
As the main force of the Japanese army attacking Xifengkou, the 8th Division (Division Commander Nishi Giichi) had jurisdiction over the 4th Infantry Brigade (Brigade Commander Suzuki Mitsuchi) and the 16th Infantry Brigade (Brigade Commander Nagakawahara Kan).
), the 8th Cavalry Regiment, the 8th Artillery Regiment, the 8th Engineer Battalion, the 1st Tank Battalion, the Lushun Heavy Artillery Battalion, the Kwantung Army Automobile Brigade and the Puppet Independent 1st Brigade of the Puppet Fengtian Provincial Guard Yu Zhishan Department
A total of more than 30,000 people marched towards Xifengkou on March 4.
The fastest runners were the two brigades of the 14th Mixed Brigade that diverted from the tea shed. They arrived at Xifengkou on March 9 and immediately launched an attack.
On the first day, the Wan Fulin Department of the 29th Army collapsed in the face of an attack by a mere 2,000 Japanese troops. The Japanese army occupied the first pass on March 9, but the 109th Brigade of the 29th Army Zhao Dengyu quickly counterattacked, with the full strength of the reinforced 113th Brigade.
With the support, a battle broke out with the Japanese army on March 10 for the pass. 2,000 Japanese troops withdrew from the pass to wait for the main force.
The Japanese army did not expect that the 29th Army would be so desperate. The main force of the Eighth Division was still 100 miles away from Xifengkou. At 11:00 on the night of the 11th, the night attack team of Zhao Dengyu Brigade was galloping lightly, using only grenades and large knives as weapons.
Two groups launched an attack on the Japanese troops at Caijiayu, Xifengkou and other places. They fought bloody battles with the Japanese troops all night and killed more than 1,000 Japanese troops.
Tong Zeguang's unit of the 113th Brigade on the right wing also sent a broadsword night attack team out of Tiemenguan to attack the enemy's flank, annihilating the enemy in Paolingzhuang and Guanwangtai, and then attacked the enemy in the northeast highland of Xifengkou. Wang Zhibang's 110th Brigade was responsible for frontal defense.
At the same time, they jumped out of their positions to attack the Japanese troops in front of them. However, due to the terrain being under the control of the enemy, the defenders stubbornly resisted and waited for reinforcements. In addition, the ice and snow were slippery, so it was difficult for the Chinese officers and soldiers to attack and they failed to achieve the effect of a pincer attack. The fierce battle continued until the afternoon of the 12th.
At 3 o'clock, all night attack troops and frontal attack troops withdrew to their original defenses.
What was left to Nishi Yiichi, the commander of the 8th Division, who hurriedly arrived, were the headless corpses of more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers and hundreds of terrified Japanese soldiers.
The famous Northwest Army Swordsman Team used the heads of more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers to prove the strength of the Northwest men.
The furious Xiyi did not stop for a moment and launched a wave of attacks with 20,000 men under his command. However, this time the defenders, who had gained defensive experience by waiting for work, did not make the same mistakes as before. Although they paid a huge price, they resisted.
The Eighth Division used a heavy artillery brigade of 16 105mm cannons and 12 155mm howitzers and an artillery regiment of 48 mountain guns to carry out high-intensity bombing, and severely damaged the Japanese army, killing and wounding more than a thousand Japanese soldiers.
The frustrated Japanese army should have immediately detached its main force to attack Luo Wenyu. However, under the angry orders of Muto Nobuyoshi, the Japanese army continued to attack violently and continued to bleed under the majestic ancient Great Wall of China. The Chinese and Japanese sides had three days to spare.
There is more blood than ever before in time and space.
During the day on the 13th alone, two regiments of the 29th Army were almost wiped out. The two regiment commanders who were forced to leave their positions looked at the remaining two to three hundred soldiers who had withdrawn from the battle, squatting on the ground and crying, "Wow!"
Have to be like a child.
The Japanese army was also uncomfortable. By this time, the 29th Army had surpassed the previous record of 5,000 Japanese casualties in time and space. Two Japanese regiments had been beaten and completely withdrawn from the battle. Without half a year of rest, there was no way they could regain their combat effectiveness.
.
After the bloody battle on the 14th, Nishi Yiichi, who had a large number of troops, finally could not bear the heavy casualties and had to ask for reinforcements from the Kwantung Army headquarters. Muto Nobuyoshi decided to order reinforcements from the 6th Division and the 1st Independent Guard Corps stationed in Chifeng.
At the same time, Muto Nobuyoshi continued to veto Nishi Yiichi's proposal to divide most of his troops to capture Luo Wenyu, 80 miles to the southwest. He believed that the main force should continue to attack violently to attract the main force of the 29th Army. At the same time, the 7,700 men of the 4th Brigade and the Artillery Battalion should be used.
Two brigades of the 8th Regiment attacked Luo Wenyu in a sneak attack. After capturing Luo Wenyu in one day, they detoured to Xifengkou and surrounded tens of thousands of Chinese defenders at Xifengkou. They sacrificed the blood of tens of thousands of Chinese defenders to those who died heroically in battle
The Imperial Army held a memorial ceremony.
Under the orders of Commander Nobuyoshi Muto who was stationed at the rear, more than 7,700 people from the 4th Brigade and two artillery brigades quietly withdrew from the battlefield and rushed towards Luo Wenyu.
As for the Independent Regiment, each battalion and company happily took back the supplies belonging to their own units and put them in the tunnels. They rested for a long time and finally received the news that the Japanese army was about to divide their forces and attack.
The news came from Ling **, using the Japanese military standard radio.
The fourteen special forces of the Independent Regiment, disguised as ordinary people, did not just watch the excitement in Rehe. They led Cai Dadao, Niu Er, and a veteran named Cao Dacheng, Ling Hong, to patrol around the battlefield for several days. Finally, they seized an opportunity and sneaked into the battlefield.
Entering the most fringe position of the 8th Division, a Japanese brigade headquarters drove all the Chinese people out of the village and settled in the home of a local wealthy family in the village.
The dark moon, the cold wind, the exhaustion after several days of fighting, or a little bit of luck, created an extremely glorious first battle for the Special Forces Brigade of the Independent Regiment.
The four members of the special forces, full of murderous intentions, just used the thorns in their hands to kill all the more than 30 people at the Japs Brigade Headquarters who had been victorious in consecutive days and had their vigilance reduced to the lowest level. From the major captain to the cook, and even even
There was not even a decent resistance. Perhaps, the biggest resistance came from a tenacious Japanese. The blood on his neck was spurting out. Lao Gao refused to die calmly. Instead, he kicked the wall with his feet in an attempt to issue a warning. Cai Dadao could only fight again.
It took some effort to break his neck and calm him down.
During the whole killing, the Japs basically had no chance to make any sound. The Japs on guard outside stared at them and didn't feel anything at all. It was only after an hour later that the soldiers who got up to change shifts felt something was wrong and discovered the blood all over the courtyard and the stiff corpses in the house.
"The whole courtyard is filled with blood flowing from the house. It has been blown into pieces of dark red thin ice by the cold wind from the north of China. When I step on it, I feel extremely horrified, but other than that, there is no place to stay.
"So." Through the details described by the Kwantung Army Headquarters investigation team that surveyed the scene, you can imagine the horror of the scene at that time.
After killing all the Japanese soldiers in the Japanese brigade headquarters, Ling Hong also took away a Japanese military standard radio station, which was naturally his second target. The Japanese army was not as wealthy as the national army in terms of radio stations, so they only used radio stations.
At the regiment level, only units above the brigade level of the Japanese army are qualified to configure radio stations. If the squadron level wants to report to their superiors, they must rely on manual labor or verbal communication.
Regarding this point, the American cowboys who have developed walkie-talkies and deployed them in their squads look down upon the Japanese.
Of course, the Japanese soldiers with an average height of only 1.56 would probably be looked down upon by everyone.
The stubborn short-legged gene means that Japanese teenagers who have been drinking milk for decades will be recognized by their nationality as soon as they step out of the country before they even open their mouths.
But the sneak attackers destroyed their tracks. Within a long time, more than 30 Imperial Japanese Army soldiers were massacred with strange cold weapons, which became a long-running case.
Until the bloody battle between the Japanese army and the independent regiment Luo Wenyu. After an extremely brutal hand-to-hand battle between the soldiers of both sides, the Japanese corpses that were carried back once again showed wounds with large holes that could not be stitched until the blood drained away. Senior officials of the Kwantung Army
Only then did we conclude that the terrifying army actually sent elite soldiers to sneak into the battlefield a month ago.
However, that was not the first wound left by the members of the Special Forces Brigade of the Independent Regiment on the Japanese invaders. In the next month, Muto Nobuyoshi learned that the weapon in front of him was hidden in the turtle shell but kept spitting out.
The stinging monster actually had even colder stings lurking outside the battlefield, stinging his army on the hard rock and bleeding, while the chrysanthemums were also severely injured.
The feeling of being stung on the buttocks from time to time by swarms hiding in dark places, really, cannot be explained to outsiders.
Only Liu Lang knew that after this battle, the Japanese high-level officials also put the special forces on the construction agenda, a full 9 years earlier than in history. Although Liu Lang, a future special forces with the advantages of the times, was still a scumbag.
Liu Lang, who had made all preparations, received the telegram from Ling Hong, who had been peeping outside Xifengkou for a long time. He was stunned for a long time as if he had been struck by lightning.
History has taken a weird turn here. The promised more than 10,000 Japanese troops turned into a mere 7,000-strong 4th Brigade and two artillery brigades.
Damn it, you really don’t regard bean buns as solid food!
However, being looked down upon by others on the battlefield is such a blessing!
