Chapter 431 The Doom of the Sixth Division (8)
To be honest, even though Tani Shou himself was stubborn, Shimoya Ikkawa knew that the Sixth Division could not continue to fight like this!
In just half a day when the opponent dispatched cavalry to attack, the losses caused were more than one heavy artillery brigade, one field artillery brigade, half a brigade of chariots and more than one thousand soldiers, and as many as thirty fighter jets. This did not count the losses on the 10th Division.
Now, the opponent's air-optimal fighter has freed up again. The ultra-long giant cannon can at least exert at least 100 or more shells, and it is accurate and tricky. The huge movement and lethality are extremely harmful to morale. Even if it is just alternately aimed at the southward advance passage such as railways, it will lead to a great passiveness. It is very unwise to do this. Besides, the opponent's ultra-long-range heavy cannon has not been deployed yet!
Who knew that those guys that the 14th Division would come to the 6th Division in a few days? There is no way to deal with hundreds of tanks and tanks that charge in clusters, or strange heavy artillery groups that fired thousands of large-caliber shells in one minute. There is no way to do so at present. The 6th Division is exposed to the plains. If it is spread out and crushed by the opponent, the consequences...
Therefore, it is better to delay time first. If you have a few more days to summarize experience and investigate information, you may find a solution to the problem.
The tide of troops besieging Beiping retreated, some of which entered Shunyi, some entered Tongxian, and some hid among the forests of Nanyuan, mixed with the Chinese people. They shamelessly used them as meat shields to prevent them from being attacked by air strikes or cannons.
The Kanto Army and the Japanese base camp, who had already realized the seriousness of the matter, immediately sent an ambassador to China Shigeru Kawagoe to urgently ask Chiang Kai-shek to urgently ask for Chiang Kai-shek and made a tactful statement that Japan was willing to accept mediation among the countries and peacefully resolve the conflict between Ping and Tianjin.
Lao Jiang was not happy. Not only did he refuse to see this guy, he also got angry privately: "Mom Xipi, what have you done long ago?! I saw that we were not fully equipped and we had to attack him without any hello. Now, after suffering a great loss, I asked for peace. How could such a good thing be done? Let's drag it! Let's see what they do!"
Regarding the mediation of the various countries. At the beginning of the Japanese attack, Chiang Kai-shun asked Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui to step forward and ask the League of Nations to intervene. Of course, this was to show respect for the attitude of the great powers. Secondly, if Song Zheyuan, Zhu Bin and others could not withstand the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the war in North China was out of control. After the Japanese army took a big advantage, they went south and threatened his territory, it would be difficult to deal with it.
Furthermore, Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to find excuses to mobilize the troops. Accelerate the speed of reorganization and the unification of central government orders. When the war came, as the commander-in-chief and chairman, he naturally became an authoritative figure in presided over all the country's affairs. He could make a request to anyone based on the righteousness of the anti-Japanese war, no matter what happened before. Including those who could not handle it, such as Bai Chongxi, Zhu Bin, and Yan Xishan, they asked them to send troops to participate in the war of resistance and accept the unified command of the Central Military Commission. They did not dare to refuse against the righteousness of the country.
In addition, he had to make a long-prepared deployment. In the early morning of the second day after the Japanese army launched the attack, his hard-core 87th and 88th Divisions and the teaching corps were dispatched to enter the Shanghai Zhabei, Baoshan, Wusongkou and other places that were originally prohibited from garrisoning in the Shanghai Agreement. The Tax Police Corps and the Security Forces were also mobilized to seize the favorable terrain and strategic locations as soon as possible, and re-form a remote encirclement of the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai.
This time, Chiang learned his lesson. He would never repeat it and passively let the Japanese army lead the nose away! Now, his iron-core troops are strong and powerful. Each division has at least one battalion of 150mm heavy cannons, and even at least fifty or sixty tanks, two divisions, and a stronger teaching corps. Plus the tax police regiment and the security forces, 50,000 or 60 people are stationed on the front line. I don’t believe it, but I can’t beat the little kid!
And he did not expect much of the mediation attitude of the League of Nations. The British hoped that China and Japan would fight to the death and both sides would suffer, so that they could safely specialize in managing the situation in Europe and deal with the Germans who were very aggressively armed; almost no one listened to the French, and could only pretend to be powerful; the Italians seemed powerful, and they were dizzy to Hitler with lies, but they could not affect the situation in the Far East at all; Americans... Can you expect a group of countries with capitalists in secret to power, and when they have the opportunity to make money in the war, they would stop a war that could bring them billions of wealth? The war between Asians and yellow people doesn't matter if it is broken!
But Chiang did not expect that as soon as the battle started, the tenacity of the 29th Army was much greater than his estimate. Not only did it not lose Pingjin, the combat power exposed by the soft-skinned egg Song Zheyuan was tied to a chariot was so awesome. Facing the Japanese attacks from four divisions, he actually stood up to the first wave and did not give up Pingjin!
Zhu Bin's army's attack ability even scared him! First, he killed the 14th Division in one fell swoop, and then knocked out two brigades of five or six thousand people and a large number of heavy weapons and equipment, as well as nearly 300 fighter jets. Now even the train cannons are pulled out to kill the Japanese, and their casualties are ignored... What is this situation!
Chiang Kai-shek regretted it a little. If he had known that Zhu Bin was so capable and powerful, he would not have let him go easily. Now the battle report of "destroying more than 40,000 Japanese invaders" spread all over the world, and the world cheered that when the World Health Betting Qing Huo Qubing was reborn, if this kid had not held an important position in the party and important position, who would have known that if he could continue to make trouble, the position of commander-in-chief or chairman of the three armies would have to be given up!
Threat! A bare-hearted threat!
Jiang Jiang spent half his life to get his current position. He didn't want to be pulled off the throne of the divine platform by a young man who was only thirty years old. How can the glory of the anti-Japanese hero be worn on others?
"Maybe... can we ship out several troops to participate in the battle and try the Japanese firepower?"
Lao Jiang almost gave the order excitedly, but he denied it after a change of thought. According to his analysis of the Japanese army by his and think tanks, the Japanese were defeated and then stopped it. Once their reinforcements and weapons and equipment were all in place, they might as well attack Shanghai directly.
This is his old nest. No matter what happens in the north, the Japanese army at least had to kill Zhu Bin to pass the barrier. Shanghai. If Zhu Bin's navy is restrained, with the little fleet power he has, he will definitely not be able to stop the Japanese army's powerful offensive. A battle in Shanghai is bound to be inevitable!
If you want to win the highest honor, the same is true in Shanghai!
With complex thoughts, Lao Jiang asked Wang Chonghui to go to trouble with the Japanese, and at the same time increased his troops to Shanghai, mobilized two old-fashioned large ships and six new light destroyers, four submarines and other directly mastered naval assets. First and second, the three departments of the Guangdong Navy cooperated in one, and even formed a fleet with a total tonnage of 110,000 tons to drive around Shanghai to prepare for the battle!
The news reached Zhu Bin's place at the first time. Zhu Bin, who was in a bad mood, was immediately furious and turned around anxiously in the command room. The big fist of the casserole danced with great enthusiasm and shouted: "His uncle is a leg! He wants to come and go, and he wants to fight and stop. He thinks he has the final say here, right? Bullshit! I haven't warmed up yet, and I want to stop stealing empty spaces and fill holes, but there is no door! At least I have to make it feel good first!"
When Cao Han heard his shouting, he felt that he was not very decent and comforted him: "If we really can stop the war, it would be the best. After all, the price we paid is quite large, and time has been delayed a lot. But when we all get on track, it will not be too late to attack again."
Zhu Bin waved his hand directly to him: "You are not professional in strategic matters, please listen to Mr. Baili to tell you."
Jiang Baili shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Your temper... Well, Japan is not really seeking peace at all. They just lack the ability to estimate our strength. After suddenly suffering a big loss, they were eager to stop the loss. Then they wanted to take a slow-down strategy. The battle still had to be fought. Now the Japanese army is like an out-of-control greedy beast. Since they pounced on it and bite it, they would not retract their minions if they didn't get enough fat."
Zhu Bin hummed, "The initiative is in our hands. How can we not let my big things go without blood?"
He felt that Japan's invasion of China was not as deep as that of contemporary people, but the Japanese army's struggle greatly affected his plan to return to the sky. The rocket launch in Hainan had to be stopped first. A large number of manufacturing and research projects must be transferred to military product production first. The high-end and sophisticated equipment that needs to be studied seriously is insufficient, so how could he not be angry!
"Order the 12th Army to use all the strength you should use. I will clean up the Sixth Division in Peking first! His uncle's legs! He worked hard for me, but he was resurrected. I really thought I couldn't kill them, right?!"
What Zhu Bin is most annoying is this kind of disgusting thing. What's the use of not admitting defeat? The grandsons who could deal with his troops in the first place were screaming, but now there is an army and a fleet!
The order was the horn of the war. In the afternoon of that day, the half-border troops of the 29th Division, which had been stationary, suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Japanese 5th Division of the Japanese Army in Tanggu, Tianjin. The powerful mechanized troops invaded like fire. One attack wiped out the Japanese troops at Xiaozhan's front and swept the vanguard. The vanguard directly rushed into Dagukou. If it weren't for the support of the Japanese Third Fleet, they would be afraid they would not have been dark!
The other half of the other half had killed the armored troops of the 14th Division, which had defeated Yongqing and Gu'an in Baxian, and rushed to Langfang like a broken bamboo, and forced the remnants of the 14th Division and more than 10,000 puppet troops. The main force of the Niudaoman Brigade of the 6th Division to the railway line. They were far away against the Japanese troops on Wuqing, Tongxian and Nanyuan, and maintained a coercive attitude until the second half of the night. They repelled six consecutive attacks of the Japanese army, with minor losses.
At four o'clock in the morning on July 21, three regiments of the 29th Division, which had a short rest, suddenly dispatched and forced themselves to Nanyuan along the railway line! (To be continued.
