Zhou Hao stood on the top floor of the division headquarters, holding a telescope and looking into the distance. Unfortunately, he was too far away and could only vaguely see some rising smoke. He couldn't help asking with envy: "Chief of Staff, you can't favor one thing over another! What?
It's our armored tank regiment's turn to practice some training. Brothers, we've been holding it in for a long time!" Jiang Qiang waved his hands and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the fun has just begun. When the little devil loses interest in fighting, we can go out and follow him again.
They have a lot of fun!”
Shunzi, who was standing next to him, chuckled and said: "Chief of Staff, raising troops for a thousand days and using them only for a short time, our brothers in the special operations brigade are also looking forward to seeing them! These little devils dare to attack our defense line. Isn't this the longevity of the old man who hangs himself because of his long life?"
!If the opportunity comes, Chief of Staff, please don’t forget our brothers in the special operations brigade. We have to drink soup when others eat meat!”
Although the two most elite Class A divisions of the Japanese army joined forces to attack with such ferocious momentum that they were overwhelming, the friends around Jiang Qiang did not have any fear or uneasiness. Instead, they were worried that it would not be their turn to eat meat and that they would be killed.
All the brothers' troops were killed! Currently, only Jiang Qiang's Asian Liberation Army is so fierce in the Chinese army!
Jiang Qiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be bread and milk! Now that the Japs are at their peak, there is no need for us to engage in field battles with them. We can fully exploit their arrogance and eagerness to slowly consume the Japs' vitality."
, Accumulate small victories into big victories!" In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Japan had great potential for war. Even if it wiped out 108,000 troops, it could quickly recruit 10 elite divisions in the country. On the contrary, it was not easy for Jiang Qiang's men
We have just pulled up an army of tigers and soldiers who are like arms and fingers. If they are consumed too much in a short period of time, their muscles and bones will be damaged, and it will be difficult to recover quickly!
After receiving a call for help from Highland No. 5, Xie Kangquan picked up the walkie-talkie and gave an order: "Li Guan, you immediately lead a company of brothers to support Highland No. 5! Remember, the position must be firmly secured and must not be let in.
A Japanese!" Immediately, sonorous and powerful words came from the other end of the intercom: "Please rest assured, everyone, if you are in the position, you will die on the position!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Guan, who had been waiting for a long time, led his company to quickly advance towards Highland No. 5, 3 kilometers away. Highland No. 5 is a small hillside at the entrance of Wangjiazhuang Village, on which a large reinforced concrete bunker and a reinforced concrete bunker were built.
Fortification line. Not only are 10 heavy machine guns, 5 anti-aircraft machine guns, 5 70mm anti-aircraft guns, and 3 105mm howitzers set up on this high ground, they are full of heavy firepower!
There was originally a reinforced company garrison on Highland No. 5, but after a morning of fierce fighting, 83 people had been killed, with only more than 70 people left to fight, and more than 30 people were carried off the line of fire due to serious injuries! But this
Despite the sacrifice of 83 people, they repelled more than 10 Japanese attacks, killed more than 160 Japanese soldiers in total, and destroyed 6 Japanese light tanks, turning a small earth slope into an insurmountable death zone for the Japanese army!
There are four other positions like Highland No. 5 in Wangjiazhuang Village. They are all permanent defense fortifications built according to the terrain. They not only have super strong defense and heavy firepower, but also have abundant supplies. Even if they are besieged for ten and a half days
There is no pressure in the moon! Except for these five peripheral positions, Wangjiazhuang Village is even more terrifying. It has built a large number of fortifications and bunkers, with powerful heavy firepower and anti-aircraft firepower. There are also tunnels connected to the commanding heights of various important places in the village! Because it is connected with Jiang Qiang and others
People have been through life and death. Xie Kangquan naturally received special care after arriving in Zhaoyuan County. Not only did he receive comprehensive promotion training, but he has now become a group leader!
Wangjiazhuang Village, where Xie Kangquan was responsible for garrisoning, became the key offensive direction of the Japanese Army's Kunozaki Detachment. The attack lasted from just dawn to 11:30 noon! The Japanese Army successively used tanks, aircraft and artillery to carry out fire bombings, but in the face of carefully constructed fortifications,
, the Japanese army's tried and tested firepower crushing had little effect. Instead, Xie Kang destroyed all 6 tanks and several artillery pieces!
"Baga! This is a military fortress armed to the teeth! The artillery and heavy firepower of the Chinese army on the opposite side are not inferior to ours! If we continue to attack like this, it will not work at all. The casualties are too great! Send a message to the brigade commander immediately
Report, report the battle situation!" Colonel Ye Yu, captain of the 11th Regiment, stood on a slope. From the telescope, he could clearly see 5 large reinforced concrete bunkers and fortification lines. He could even see the black gun barrels that shot out from time to time.
Spit out tongues of fire!
According to the combat opportunities formulated by the Second Army Headquarters, all offensive forces must advance steadily and gradually. Nagano Yuichi once suffered a big loss at the hands of Jiang Qiang, so naturally he did not dare to make a careless advance! Nagano Yuichi used the Japanese army's usual three-axe attack.
Tactics: first bombard with heavy firepower, then pull out tanks and infantry to cooperate, then use mortars and grenades to knock out the opponent's heavy firepower and then charge with infantry!
However, these tactics that have been tried and tested have become useless in the face of steel and concrete fortifications armed to the teeth with heavy fire defense! If the attackers were not all well-trained old Japanese, brave and fearless of death,
The marksmanship is accurate, otherwise there will not be many casualties in these carefully built defensive fortification lines! But the actual situation is that after a morning of bloody battle, Xie Kangquan's first brigade and fourth regiment alone lost 45 soldiers and killed more than 340 Japanese soldiers!
The ratio of losses between the enemy and the enemy in many positions such as Majiazhuang, Jiao County, and Anqiu County was almost the same. The Japanese attack was very sharp, but they did not rush to launch a full-scale offensive. They were in the exploratory offensive stage all morning! The fight lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon.
It gradually stopped. On the first day of the attack, the Japanese army did not make any progress, but paid more than 1,500 lives! The defender, the Jiaodong Military District of the Asian People's Liberation Army, suffered 157 casualties, 241 serious injuries, and more than 600 minor injuries!
"This wave is not a loss! It seems that the hard work has not been in vain. The brothers of the Jiaodong Military Region can withstand the test!" It was not until the Japanese soldiers called Jin to withdraw their troops and suspend the attack that Jiang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, although 157 people were killed on the first day.
There are so many people, but the casualty ratio of 1:10 is quite amazing! You must know that this time the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on four positions at the same time, fighting for more than 10 hours. If it were other troops, two or three thousand people would not die.
It’s almost impossible!
Pingdu, Headquarters of the Japanese 2nd Army! "Okay, everyone, be quiet. Now we are not going to hold anyone accountable, but we are going to make a good summary of the battle! The next battle can't be like today!" Commander
Nishio Shouzou lightly patted the table and stared at the generals with an ugly expression. Although he knew that this was a tough nut to crack, the performance of the first day still made him extremely unhappy! "Hai!"
Kojima, the commander of the 107th Division of the Japanese Army, paused and said with a solemn expression: "I must admit that I underestimated this Chinese army before the war started. Their combat power and firepower are no less than the imperial army!" Koshimano said today
To truly understand the power of this tortoise shell defense, the 107th Division, which has always been known for its tough battles, fought hard for a day and failed to break through even an inch of ground!
Colonel Umemura Atsuro, chief of staff of the 107th Division, added: "In particular, they have built extremely strong reinforced concrete fortifications and a large number of barbed wires. Their defense strength is no less than that of a military fortress! Imperial heavy artillery cannot effectively destroy it.
These carefully built fortifications were blocked by barbed wire, mines, combat artillery, light and heavy machine guns and other three-dimensional cross-cutting defense networks when the imperial warriors launched a charge. It was very difficult to even get close to them, let alone capture these fortresses!"
"Hai, it's true! Our opponents are already very good at defense, and now they have the advantage of location and fortifications. We really have no way to take advantage of it." The commander of the 10th Division, Rensuke Isotani, nodded and thought about it.
Looking back at the past and present, I feel more and more helpless. Facing such a defensive formation, unless a large number of lives are used to fill it, there is no way to easily tear open the defense line. "Whoops!"
Nishio Juzo took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "What everyone said is true. The difficulty of the battle we face is no less difficult than when the empire captured the Tsarist Russia's Port Arthur Fortress! However, no matter how difficult it is, we have to conquer it. The empire's
The great cause must not be stopped because of a small fortress!
The Central China Front Army is about to launch a general offensive against the Chinese Army south of Xuzhou. We, the North China Front Army, must not hold us back. We must remove all obstacles in front of us as soon as possible and join forces with the Central China Front Army in Xuzhou as soon as possible! So I ask you to work together, no matter what.
We must fulfill the important trust entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise we will be the sinners of the Yamato nation!" "Hai!"
"What your Excellency the Commander said is absolutely true!" "His Majesty the Emperor is on board!" "The Imperial Japanese Army is on board!"
His Majesty the Emperor and the sinners of the Yamato nation were brought out by Nishio Juzo Shangzuna. Naturally, Koshimano and other old devils could only stand up and raise their arms and shout. Even if it is not possible at this time, it must be done! At the same time, Jiang Qiang also
A post-war summary meeting was held at the division headquarters, with all officers at battalion level and above attending the meeting.
With transportation lines extending in all directions, high-performance military off-road vehicles, and ubiquitous communication networks, it is not easy to summon the commanders of each defense area to hold a meeting. Today is the first domestic defense of the Asian People's Liberation Army
The battle was fierce overall. The Japanese attack was very sharp. It once put great pressure on the Chinese defenders and caused heavy casualties in some areas. But in the end, with its solid defense fortifications and strong defensive firepower, the Asian Liberation Army repelled the Japanese army again and again.
Attack, and all eight major battlefields were successfully defended in the end!
After today's battle, not only did the recruits who were fighting on the battlefield for the first time be greatly tempered and grow rapidly, but after careful discussion and summary, Jiang Qiang took a picture with great satisfaction and said: "Today's victory
Everyone performed well in the battle and fought vigorously, but this is just the beginning!
The Japanese have long regarded us as a thorn in their side and will never give up easily, so everyone still needs to be alert and deal with it! In particular, pay attention to the use of poison gas bombs by the Japanese army, and all your departments must take emergency protective measures.
, don’t be careless! Okay, that’s the end of today’s summary meeting! Everyone should return to their defense area stations as soon as possible and be optimistic about their respective portals!
The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard. When the little devils are completely restrained and do not dare to continue to run wild in our defense area, I will give you a good celebration! Dismissal!"
"Haha, please rest assured, Chief of Staff, the little devil is only capable of that much!" "That's right, some of us have guns and cannons now, but they are not the ones who were slaughtered back then!" "Haha, today's fight was really too relaxing.
It's so exciting!" "Hey, you guys are enjoying yourself. Our group has been waiting for a whole day, but no little Japs came to attack. It's really annoying!"
"Don't worry, the little devil suffered a loss from us today! Maybe tomorrow the little devil will come to your place to try his teeth!" After the meeting, nearly a hundred battalion and regiment-level officers walked out of the conference room with smiles, and then drove back.
Camp! "Hello, Chief of Staff Jiang, do you remember me? I am Xia Yu, a reporter from Tianjin Miller Review. I have interviewed you before!"
"Oh? It's you! Of course I remember, why are you still in Zhaoyuan County?" Jiang Qiang finished the summary meeting and just drove out of the division headquarters when he was blocked by the beautiful reporter Xia Yu who rushed out. Xia Yu quickly rushed to Yang Fan
He smiled and said: "Chief of Staff Jiang, can you spare a few minutes of your time? Your army won a great victory today, and I want to give you an interview!"
Now the outside world is paying great attention to the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the Jiaodong Peninsula. I really want to tell the good news to the people of the country as soon as possible, tell the Western powers, and tell them that our Chinese nation is resisting the war tenaciously!" Looking at Xia Yu, who was excited and tired, she looked like she was
Knowing that he had been squatting outside the division headquarters for a long time, Jiang Qiang couldn't help but feel pity, nodded and said with a smile: "Looking at you, you haven't had dinner yet, right?"
Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "Yes, I'm afraid of missing the time, so I have been waiting outside your military division headquarters! But it doesn't matter, I'm not hungry at all now!" Then I'll treat you to something to eat outside.
Xia Yu said, "Thank you, Chief of Staff."
Xia Yu sat in the back seat without hesitation, not worrying about what Jiang Qiang would do to her. "Xia Yu, I remember you said you were Chinese American? Both your parents are Chinese engineers?" After finishing the sumptuous dinner happily,
Jiang Qiang then took Xia Yu to the living room, sat down and talked slowly.
Xia Yu sat cautiously on the sofa beside Jiang Qiang, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, Chief of Staff Jiang, my grandfather's family moved to New York, USA, and my parents are alumni and both graduated from Columbia University!
"
Jiang Qiang smiled and said: "That's right, so your family should have a good life in the United States! Then why do you want to return to China? China is in a troubled time now, and the domestic situation is very unsafe. You
Are your parents so relieved to let you come back from across the ocean alone?" Xia Yu shook her head silently and said: "My parents are worried about my son traveling thousands of miles away, so my parents are naturally reluctant to let go! But as the sons and daughters of China, when our motherland is invaded by foreign enemies,
At this time, we are equally duty-bound!" "Well said! You are worthy of being a passionate Chinese people!"
Jiang Qiang nodded approvingly, and then asked with a smile: "You should have been on this trip for two months, right? Do you have any difficulties in life and work? If you need any help, just ask!" Xia
Yu glanced at Yang Fan with the corner of his eyes, and saw that his face was sincere and did not seem to be speaking politely. He suddenly had a bold idea: "Chief of Staff Jiang, I really have an unkind request, and I hope you can fulfill it!"
"Jiang Qiang said with a smile: "You tell me, as long as I can help, I will not shirk it!" "Then thank Chief of Staff Jiang in advance!"
Xia Yu's face was filled with joy, and she nervously pulled the corner of her clothes with her palms, and said softly: "After these days of understanding and contact, I firmly believe that your army will become the star of hope and the soul of our nation! I know that your army will
There is a profession of military reporter, and I have always wanted to be a military reporter, so I take the liberty of begging Chief of Staff Jiang to be extrajudicial and allow me to become a military reporter of the Asian Liberation Army!"
Over the past few days, Xia Yu has been completely fascinated by this mysterious paradise that is stable, peaceful and highly civilized. She has always wanted to put down roots! Whenever she sees those people wearing military uniforms and holding high-end camera equipment, they can freely
She didn't know how much she envied the military reporters who went in and out of secret places such as military camps and wanted to be one of them! Especially now that Xia Yu was already strapped for money and the plate of meals she had brought was almost exhausted, and she was even more eager to find a reporter.
A stable job to cover living expenses!
Jiang Qiang pondered: "As a military reporter, you will definitely be exposed to a lot of military secrets, so to become a military reporter of our Asian Liberation Army, you must go through strict political review. After passing the review, you must receive confidentiality system training, and you must sign a confidentiality agreement.
Only then can you officially take up the post! In addition, although military reporters in our army do not have to go into battle, they must have the ability to deal with emergencies, so they will undergo training in military skills and physical fitness, and the process will definitely be very hard!
In a word, military reporters are not an easy ordinary profession. Although the benefits and benefits are very high, the discipline constraints are also very high! Once you become a military reporter, you can’t just quit if you want to! About the above
What time can you accept it?"
Xia Yu nodded quickly and said: "No problem, no problem at all! Please rest assured, Chief of Staff Jiang, as long as you give me this opportunity, I promise to strictly abide by various systems and do my job well!" "Okay! I will call someone tomorrow.
Contact you, as long as it can pass the political review, then it won't be a problem!" Jiang Qiang nodded with a smile, and then asked with a smile: "Can you publish some recruitment information for me in Western media newspapers through your newspaper?" "Ah.
?”
Xia Yu was still immersed in boundless excitement. She didn't turn around for a while and looked at Jiang Qiang stupidly. Jiang Qiang explained with a smile: "I have always wanted to recruit some capable scientists, engineers, and pilots from the United States, but
I have never found the right opportunity or window!" "This?"
A strange color flashed in Xia Yu's eyes. She really didn't understand where Jiang Qiang got his confidence and courage. He quickly gave a friendly reminder: "Chief of Staff Jiang, there is no problem in publishing recruitment information! But I'm afraid there won't be anyone."
Interested, first of all, the United States is thousands of miles away from China and the road is difficult and dangerous, and the travel expenses alone are not a small sum; secondly, with the backward conditions in our country, it is difficult to attract real talents!" "Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
As long as you offer a generous enough treatment, there will always be someone interested! But there is no rush on this matter, we will discuss it in detail later when we have the opportunity!"
The reason why the United States has rapidly emerged as a superpower is largely due to the war dividends of World War I and World War II, which resulted in too much war wealth! Xia Yu’s family is well off, and several generations of her family have been working in the United States.
To take root, you should have accumulated a lot of connections. You can train him to be a spokesperson quickly and cost-effectively if you use it properly! Jiang Qiang is going back to rest. Xia Yu quickly stood up and said a thousand words into one sentence: "Chief of Staff Jiang
, please walk slowly! Take care of yourself, we people cannot do without you as the protector!"
"Brother De Lin, this is a war situation report from our liaison officer in Zhaoyuan. Please read it!" Shortly after Gaomi Guangming Daily released the official news at 8pm, Xu Zuyi excitedly walked towards Li Zongren holding a piece of telegram.
Come. Li Zongren raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, brother Yanmou, seeing your happy face, it must be good news!"
Xu Zuyi said with a smile: "It is indeed good news! Today the Japanese 107th Division and the 10th Division launched a fierce attack on Gaomi, Jiaoxian and Anqiu. Jiang Qiang led his troops to fight hard with the Japanese army for a day! According to the official release of Jiaodong
According to the news, a total of more than 1,500 Japanese soldiers were killed today, while the number of Jiang Qiang’s troops killed was less than 157!
Darling, they actually had a battle loss ratio of 1 to 10 with the Japanese A-type division, which is really amazing! They are worthy of being the Tiger Army that the envoy personally proclaimed! Haha, the Japanese army finally hit a hard nail, and now they are in trouble
Eat!" "This news is indeed very good!" Li Zongren scanned the telegram with one glance, his brows relaxed a lot, and he said in a deep voice: "Just now I was worried that Han Fuju's incident would affect Jiang Qiang's defection, but now it seems that Jiang Qiang will switch sides.
He is truly anti-Japanese!
In this way, the pressure on us in the north will be greatly reduced, and the Japanese North China Front Army entrenched in Shandong will not dare to rush out easily!" Xu Zuyishen thought it was a nod and said: "Yes, our fifth theater has such a tiger and wolf army.
I'm really lucky! By the way, is there really no room for redemption in Han Fuju's matter?"
However, at this critical moment, Han Fuju disobeyed military orders many times in order to preserve his strength and retreated without a fight. He surrendered many important military locations such as the Yellow River Defense Line, Jinan, Tai'an, Laiwu, etc., so that most of Shandong fell in just a few days!
If it weren't for Jiang Qiang's elite soldiers who fought bloody battles, we would have been facing a north-south attack by the Japanese army! You think, under such circumstances, if Han Fuju was not punished by Ming Zhengdian, how could he boost the morale of the army and frighten the world?" January 1938
On the 11th, Chairman Bai Chongxi went to Kaifeng to convene a military meeting of northern generals.
Li Zongren sent a telegram to Han Fuju to attend, but Han Fuju was uneasy because he had retreated without authorization and did not dare to go. At the same time, he received a secret message from Liu Xiang: The Kaifeng meeting would not be good for his brother, so it was best not to attend for an excuse. So Han Fuju suggested
The military situation was tight and he could not go to the meeting after the call was returned. After receiving the call back, Li Zongren immediately reported it to the chairman of the committee. The chairman of the committee asked Jiang Bocheng to urge Han Fuju to attend the meeting.
Jiang Bocheng immediately went to Jin Wenxi, Han Fugu's representative in Kaifeng, and said to him: "Chairman Jiang, Han had some misunderstandings in the past, and they will be explained clearly as soon as they meet. If he doesn't come, the more the disagreement will deepen and the quarrel continues, I think it will be detrimental to him.
I have worked with Xiang Fang for many years, and we treat each other with sincerity, so I say these words. As long as he is willing to come, I will ensure that he is fine." After some persuasion, Jin Wenxi believed Jiang Bocheng's words and sent a telegram to Han Fukju.
, saying that Jiang Bocheng was waiting for him in Kaifeng and that he had reached an agreement with Chiang Kai-shek and that all misunderstandings could be resolved after the meeting. Only then did Han Fugu change his mind and decided to attend the meeting in Kaifeng.
However, upon leaving, Han Fuju surrendered himself to the trap and was imprisoned by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. He was immediately taken to Wuhan and imprisoned in a small building in the inner courtyard of No. 33 Pingyue Road, Wuchang City. The dignified King of Shandong is still a prisoner, and his life has begun to enter.
Countdown! Now we still need to rely on this army of tigers and wolves, I think we can’t show no sign! Otherwise, things may change easily!”
Xu Zuyi sighed softly. Although Han Fuju's continuous escape these days has caused great pressure and negative impact on the Fifth War Zone, the fact that the feudal official became a prisoner in the blink of an eye still hurt him somewhat. In this kind of situation,
Under the circumstances, Jiang Qiang was under a lot of pressure. Although he despised Boss Han's escape behavior, Jiang Qiang still had a certain affection for Han Fuqu, and he had to show his feelings and reasons!
Li Zongren said in a deep voice: "Han Fuju's life is in the hands of the committee, and it is no longer something we can control! According to my analysis, unless there are some special reasons or a turning point, Han Fuju will definitely die! I just hope Jiang Qiang can understand the justice.
, please don’t mess up your mind because of this matter, take drastic actions, and follow in Han Fuju’s footsteps!”
Li Zongren was also very helpless. As a warlord of the Guangxi faction, he had fought against Chairman Chiang Kai-shek several times. The conflicts were not so deep. Why didn't he want to declare himself a king and fight against me? But at this time when the nation was about to survive, Li Zongren made up his mind.
We must fight to the end, and we have never thought of abandoning our country to preserve our strength and allowing the Japanese to burn, kill, and loot the Chinese territory!
