"What? Baga! Where did the Chinese artillery troops come from? Where did the Chinese tank troops come from? What do the reconnaissance troops and security troops do?" Bunzaburo Kawagishi, whose temper did not contain the word "literary" at all, heard Yamashita Fengwen
If so, an evil fire immediately broke out.
"Your Majesty General, the top priority is to think about countermeasures. I estimate that China's artillery troops and tank troops are about to arrive at Yongding Gate." Yamashita Fengfumi is indeed a rare strategist in Japan. A few years later, the famous "Malay Tigers"
A piece of intelligence immediately revealed the "difficulty" of the 20th Division and the Kwantung Army's 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade.
"Yamashita-kun, what do you think we should do?" At this moment, Bunzaburo Kawagishi remembered that this was not the time to lose his temper. The lives of these ten thousand Imperial Japanese Army troops were still tied to him.
"Immediately report to Commander Xiangyue Qingsi: I was attacked by China's heavy artillery and tank troops. The field artillery regiment and engineering regiment were all shattered. The cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses. Request tactical guidance!"
"Your Excellency, General, I propose to add a strategic transfer! At the same time, we must quickly retreat towards Tongxian and implore Commander Xiangyue to send fighter planes from the 3rd Flying Group to intercept China's heavy artillery and tank troops!" Yamashita Fengfumi
He suggested again.
"This..." Bunzaburo Kawagishi hesitated a little. If this happened, he would probably never recover from this.
"General, please rest assured that the failure to capture Peiping this time is not a crime of war, nor is it due to your incompetent command. I will report it to the base camp."
"Well, immediately send a report to the commander, and at the same time notify all troops to move in the direction of Tongxian in brigade units." Kawagishi Bunzaburo saw what Yamashita Fengwen said, and he had no further opinions.
Kawagishi Bunzaburo also knew a lot about Yamashita Tomoe's status and influence in the Japanese base camp. Although others were only major generals now, he might one day become a lieutenant general or even his boss. With Yamashita Tomoe's dealings, he wanted to do his own.
Your future or your life can be temporarily protected.
When Bunzaburo Kawagishi decided to make a "strategic shift", a telegram from Wu Aihua was also sent to Wu Kangning: "Don't pursue the poor enemy, use concealed air defense."
Wu Aihua doesn't want to beat up the lost dog, of course he does. However, Wu Aihua's advance detachment currently does not have an air force, and the two regiments of the teaching division are also not equipped with anti-aircraft guns (each division's artillery regiment only has anti-aircraft artillery battalions). Facing the Japanese 3rd Air Force
With more than a hundred fighter planes in the group (equivalent to a division), there is no chance of winning in pursuit of Bunzaburo Kawagishi.
"All troops retreat!" Wu Kangning was not as mother-in-law as Lao Kaisheng. After receiving the order, he immediately executed it.
"Deputy Commander, why didn't you take advantage of the victory and intercept that old devil Kawagishi Bunzaburo?" Liu Chaoliang, the leader of the 3rd Regiment, was a little confused about Wu Kangning's order.
"Commander's order!" Wu Kangning waved the telegram.
"Entire regiment retreat!" Liu Chaoliang stopped hesitating as soon as he heard the order from the commander. When had the commander ever made a mistake? When had the commander been willing to give up the opportunity to annihilate the Japanese? Never at all.
Therefore, the instructor did not even clean the battlefield properly, and swept away the whole army as if it were coming, leaving several liaison soldiers of the 9th Cavalry Division who followed the instructor looking at each other.
"Oh, by the way. Let me tell you, Commander Qiu, to stay hidden and pay attention to bombing by enemy planes!" Wu Kangning was already on the chariot, only to find that there were several friendly liaison officers around him.
"Okay, thank you, Deputy Commander Wu, we will inform you immediately." Seeing that the war was temporarily over, the liaison officers were automatically relieved of their duties of liaising with both parties. They agreed and rode away.
When Kozuki Seiji received the telegram of Kawagishi Bunzaburo's "battle damage", he was so angry that he could not speak for a long time. The failure of the attack on Peiping was tantamount to killing himself. Then he thought about how to get out of the predicament at hand.
, it seems that only by letting Kawagishi Bunzaburo come out to take the blame can the anger of the base camp be quelled. There is a certain reason for Xiangyue Qingji to think this way. The war in Tianjin, Tanggu and other places is progressing smoothly. Tanggu has already been captured. Tianjin, the 5th Division
The Miura Sensitive Affairs Department of the 21st Brigade has entered the city and is cleaning up the public security order in the city. However, the Beiping area, where Bunzaburo Kawagishi is the only one in charge, has suffered successive setbacks. If you, Kawagishi, don't take the blame, why should I, the commander, take the blame?
However, after receiving a telegram from Major General Tomei Yamashita of the 40th Brigade of the 20th Division, Seiji Kozuki quickly "reviewed" his thoughts and felt that thinking about this at this time was really not conducive to the grand cause of the Imperial Army of Japan, so,
Immediately ordered the 3rd Flying Group to be organized into groups and dispatch three bomber groups in a row to carefully search every village and ravine in the southwest of Peiping. Once the Chinese troops were discovered, they would bomb immediately. The Chinese troops must be tried.
The power of the Imperial Japanese Air Force!
By completely annihilating the enemy's field artillery regiment and engineer regiment, and severely damaging the enemy's cavalry regiment, the Chinese side achieved a major victory in the defense of Peiping, and the Japanese army's battlefield advantage was suddenly lost.
Wu Aihua ordered the instructors to withdraw from the battle quickly. Unexpectedly, the Japanese troops also quickly withdrew from the battle. At this time, in the entire area from Yongding Gate to Nanyuan in the southern suburbs of Peiping, only the remnants of the 9th Cavalry Division and the 28th Japanese Cavalry Regiment were left.
Sprint and fight in the wilderness.
Although the enemy's 28th Cavalry Regiment only has more than 200 men left, and the 9th Cavalry Division has more than 1,000 men and horses, the troop strength ratio is 1:5, but the 9th Cavalry Division really wants to eat the more than 200 men of the enemy's 28th Cavalry Regiment.
Not an easy task.
There are too many factors involved in this, such as war horses. Japanese war horses are better than Chinese war horses. For example, cavalry training level, tactical command level, etc. Japanese cavalry is also better than Chinese cavalry. Especially Lieutenant Colonel Okazaki Shoichi
The captain of the regiment was simply the offspring of a fox and a bad wolf. When he saw that China's chariots and armored troops did not follow, he felt happy and started to circle around with the remaining cavalry. At the critical moment every day
, took the only cavalry and bit hard on the "tail" of the 9th Cavalry Division. When the liaison officer arrived at the scene on horseback, Qiu Guanjun's cavalry had been bitten twice, and more than a hundred people had been lost.
The Japanese army only lost about ten cavalry.
"Withdraw, how to withdraw? Didn't you see the Japanese cavalry? Join the battle quickly! I won't dismount until I wipe out the stubborn Japanese cavalry!" When the liaison officer made his intention clear, Qiu Guanjun shouted loudly. Strictly speaking,
Qiu Guanjun was a man, but his command level was really limited. He didn't know how fragile the cavalry was in front of the air force.
In this way, several liaison officers joined the circle on horseback. Although occasionally Japanese cavalry fell from their horses in the intensive shooting of the 9th Cavalry Division, they were still far away from annihilating the 28th Cavalry Regiment.
In this way, the two sides fought in the field for nearly half an hour. At this time, the 9th Cavalry Division's horsepower began to decrease, and its sprint speed was no longer as fast as before. At this time, a large group of enemy planes flew from the eastern sky.
The Japanese 3rd Flying Group was the ace flying division of the Japanese army. The main purpose of their dispatch was to find China's tank troops. However, as soon as they entered the south of Peiping, they found two cavalry fighting.
"Lower the altitude and support the cavalry in combat!" Japanese Air Force Captain Miura Yuki shouted excitedly when he saw the battle on the ground.
Seeing the air force coming to support, the cunning Okazaki Shoichi immediately ordered to unfurl the wing flag. Perhaps, it is difficult for the pilots in the high altitude to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, but as soon as the wing flag is unfolded, the pilots can distinguish between friend and foe at once. Flying at the highest altitude
The bombers in front immediately pounced on the arrowhead of the 9th Cavalry Division.
The technical indicators of the Japanese aircraft at this time were still quite backward. It can be said that they were not even as good as the 1935 aircraft of the Wehrmacht Air Force, let alone the 1940 aircraft.
However, the air force of the National Defense Force is all in the south. Moreover, due to the support of some pilots in the north and the disappearance of combat robots, the air force of the National Defense Force currently only has a regiment-sized air force that can operate normally. The most important thing is that they have no air force at all.
It is impossible to cross the spatial distance of nearly 2,000 kilometers to the north to participate in the air battle.
However, no matter how backward the Japanese aircraft are, they cannot be resisted by flesh and blood.
"Boom -" The first Japanese aerial bomb dropped accurately on the charging arrow of the 9th Cavalry Division. Six or seven horses were immediately lifted into the air, and several cavalrymen who followed were also knocked over.
"Boom, boom, boom..." When the Japanese planes saw the successful attack, they rushed down one after another. There was no room for so many bombs at the arrowhead, so they threw them at the arrow shaft. At the arrow tail, there was a bomber group, and each plane only dropped one bomb.
With one bomb, the entire 9th Cavalry Division suffered heavy losses.
"Retreat!" Qiu Guanjun gave the order in pain. Seeing that the enemy plane dived and he lost more than 300 soldiers, Qiu Guanjun regretted not listening to the advice of the National Defense Forces.
"Retreat--" Those close to Qiu Guan's army were all veteran cavalry following him. As soon as they heard the division commander's order, they immediately shouted, stiffened their horses, and galloped away from the battlefield.
"Kill to—" Lieutenant Colonel Okazaki Shoichi, captain of the 28th Japanese Cavalry Regiment, saw the Chinese cavalry preparing to escape and immediately ordered the regiment's nearly 200 cavalrymen to rush towards the Qiuguan Army's cavalry division.
The order of Qiu Guanjun is also wrong. If two words were added, the order was "dispersed retreat", maybe the fate of the 9th Cavalry Division would be much better. To put it bluntly, it was because Qiu Guanjun did not understand the power of aircraft.
.
Seeing that the Chinese cavalry on the ground turned around and broke out in a neat charging formation, the Japanese pilots were overjoyed and were already preparing to look for the pilots of our tank troops elsewhere. They lowered the nose of the aircraft again and headed towards the 9th
The cavalry division's arrows fell down.
Perhaps the war horses were indeed psychic. Seeing their companions die in the battle, the remaining war horses burst out with extremely strong sprinting ability. Amid the indiscriminate bombing by Japanese aircraft, nearly a hundred war horses and cavalry rushed to the instructor.
Near the hidden valley.
"Shout to the brothers of the 9th Cavalry Division to enter the valley! Snipers and machine gunners, prepare to shoot in the air!" Wu Kangning, standing under a big tree, gave the order decisively.
In fact, if Wu Kangning had not issued this order, the 9th Cavalry Division would have rushed towards the valley, because this valley is the only natural hiding place for the cavalry nearby.
At this moment, Wu Kangning discovered that Qiu Guanjun, who was riding a horse, suddenly fell off his horse.
"Commander--" Several veterans around him immediately dismounted, screamed and rushed towards Qiu Guan's army.
