As for other things inside and outside Beiping City, I also have some unclear memories. The exact number and location of various palaces, yamen and the like in Beiping City, temples everywhere outside the city, and the tombs of royal relatives and nobles, etc., even though this person
Even a native of Peking doesn't know how many there are. The ancient buildings inside and outside the thousand-year-old capital of Peiping can almost be described as countless.
Under such circumstances, only God knows how much will be left after a fierce battle. What the boss and Yang Zhen can do now is to try their best to protect the famous and large-scale ancient buildings.
group, as well as large-scale imperial tomb groups such as the Ming Tombs.
As for other large and small ancient buildings, no one can guarantee that they will not be harmed in the slightest. This is also impossible. If during the battle, all ancient buildings and buildings around Peiping should be completely avoided.
Imperial Tombs, then let’s not fight this battle.
This is not a question of whether heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks can be used. The problem is that there are too many ancient buildings around Beiping. Large and small temples, mausoleums, and palace ruins are almost everywhere in the suburbs and outer suburbs of Beiping City.
There are more than a dozen famous temples in the northwest suburbs alone.
The Xishan and suburban areas where the main battlefield is located have a large number of ancient buildings and ancient tombs. The closer you get to the suburbs, the more and denser the number of ancient buildings and ancient tombs are. Avoid it completely.
Even the troops were unable to deploy. The boss could only say that he would try his best to ensure that the larger ancient building complexes would not suffer too serious damage.
Try your best, both the boss and Yang Zhen can only do this. But compared to the boss, I am afraid that the person who will have more headaches after this battle will be Yang Zhen. Not to mention others, the two people in Harbin right now
The couple, who love ancient architecture almost to the point of obsession, will never let him go after this battle. Unless he can really guarantee that not a single cannonball will fall inside or outside the city of Beiping.
As Yang Zhen issued these orders, the Anti-Japanese Alliance and Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region troops on the front lines of the battlefield around Peiping, with the support of artillery and aviation, launched a general attack on the Japanese troops facing them. The entire Peiping battlefield
The first general attack launched was the encirclement and annihilation of the 63rd Division that had been divided on the Pingbei battlefield.
With the support of two directly subordinate 150 howitzer regiments and two 122 rocket artillery battalions, the two divisions of the Anti-Japanese Alliance launched a final attack on the remnants of the 63rd Division encircled on the line from Koryo Camp to Mapo.
A general attack. Tao Jingfei, who was in charge of commanding Pingbei under Yang Zhen, issued a death order to complete the combat mission in the shortest possible time at all costs.
After receiving the order, Tao Jingfei adopted the tactic of killing a chicken with a knife. He concentrated the forces of the two regiments and attacked Xiaotangshan and Mapo on the two wings respectively. A reinforced regiment was concentrated on the front. At the last moment before the general attack started, Tao Jingfei
, under the cover of a tank regiment assigned to him by Yang Zhen, as well as most of the artillery and a Blenheim bomber squadron, they directly launched a strong attack on the headquarters of the Japanese Sixty-third Division of the Koryo Camp.
After confirming that the common people in these three strongholds had been forcibly expelled by the Japanese army at the beginning of the battle, in order to speed up the progress of the battle, Tao Jingfei concentrated the direct artillery and division-level artillery to attack all the Japanese 63rd Division.
In these three positions, intensive covering fire was carried out.
In just two hours, more than 7,000 bombs were dropped on the Sixty-third Division's position from Mapo in the east to Xiaotangshan in the west. The entire Japanese defensive position was blown into ruins. After the shelling was completed, the aviation force
High-explosive bombs and napalm bombs were also used, giving the Japanese positions another baptism.
The anti-alliance artillery went crazy and even pushed the 150mm howitzer one thousand meters in front of the Japanese position to fire flatly. As for the division-level 76mm cannon, they simply installed bayonets on the cannons. The artillery groups in the rear
Under the cover of the Japanese army, they were pushed directly under the nose of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army's field fortification groups and the fortifications renovated by the Japanese army's houses in the villages were accurately named one by one.
The division artillery of the 63rd Division, which had been completely wiped out two days ago, had almost no room to fight back under the ground and air firepower of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Even if the remaining Japanese troops survived under the artillery fire, they were
The Anti-League anti-aircraft machine guns were firing so hard that they did not dare to show their heads.
After painstaking training and tactical adjustments in the second half of last year and the first half of this year, the Anti-Japanese Alliance's ability to attack difficult situations has been greatly improved. In this battle, the results of these painstaking training are like eighteen kinds of martial arts.
All are shown.
In this battle, among the weapons and equipment invested by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they also used the Spitfire tanks that appeared for the first time. Using the combination of Spitfire tanks and infantry firepower, after burning the Japanese troops out of the ruins, they used intensive firepower
Destroy them. The Sixty-third Division, which suffered more than half of its casualties in the previous battle, can withstand such an attack combination.
The line from Xiaotang Mountain to Mapo is located in the Chaobai River Plain. Having lost the Japanese troops in the mountainous area to the north of Niulan Mountain, they are in a situation where there is no danger to defend. The condescending offensive of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, relying on tanks, artillery, and aircraft,
With the cooperation of the enemy and the adoption of dedicated attack tactics, the battle progressed extremely quickly.
On the day the attack was launched on the Pingbei battlefield, the overall defense posture of the Sixty-third Division was divided. The Japanese troops trapped in three places were first surrounded and annihilated.
The Sixty-third Division and the Sixty-seventh Brigade suffered a heavy blow. The division only resisted for more than six hours and was completely wiped out on the Xiaotangshan line.
After seizing the Xiaotangshan front line, Tao Jingfei did not hesitate at all. He ordered the Xiaotangshan front line troops to immediately go south and seize the Houshayu front line. At the same time, he stepped up the offensive on the front and continued to launch continuous offensives against the Koryo camp and the Mapo front line. In order to figure out
Solve the battle as soon as possible and free up your hands to deal with Peiping.
It withstood the first round of attacks by the Anti-Japanese Alliance and suffered the heaviest losses around the Peiping battlefield so far. The current strength was less than 5,000, and the overall defense was in a mess after the first round of attacks. After the first day of the offensive, in the end
A little bit of vitality was consumed by one-third.
Especially after the front line in Tangshan was lost, the entire flank had no cover troops, but no troops were available to fill the gap. Facing the first wave of the general attack of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the commander of the 63rd Division was almost helpless.
Lieutenant General Shiro Hayabuchi sent numerous messages to General Neji Okamura requesting reinforcements, but he still received no answer.
In fact, it was not that Okamura Neiji sat back and ignored the plight of the 63rd Division, but that he really had no troops to mobilize. After biting the bullet and dispatching an infantry brigade from the Tongzhou battlefield, Okamura Neiji once again
There is not a single soldier available to reinforce the Pingbei battlefield, which is currently the most critical.
Although he also knew that if the Sixty-third Division could not be reinforced with at least one regiment within a short period of time, the outcome of waiting for the Sixty-third Division would be the complete destruction of the entire army. Especially if the Xiaotangshan and Xiaotangshan lines were lost, the entire Sixty-third Division would be destroyed.
The core defensive positions of the Third Division were all exposed to the Anti-Alliance offensive, and the resistance of the Sixty-third Division was already unsustainable.
In other words, the total collapse of the 63rd Division is already in sight. Once the 63rd Division is surrounded and annihilated, the entire Pingbei will no longer have the strength to defend itself. As long as the Anti-Japanese Alliance is willing, they can go straight to Beiping City at any time. But
At present, Okamura Neji has sent all his forces to the front, and there are really no troops left in his hands.
Okamura Neiji, who couldn't find any reinforcements despite all the efforts, forced the director of the Beiping Sui Department of Wang's puppet Nanjing government and the former commander of the Chongqing Group Army to evacuate all the puppet troops and all the troops in Peiping.
The armed police tried to use these as cannon fodder for the puppet troops, at least barely holding down some of the anti-alliance forces.
After all, these two puppet armies were formed from the captured Chongqing government troops when they raided Lin County in the first half of 2003. Although fighting against Chongqing is not reassuring, fighting against the communist army is
At that time, there was still some combat effectiveness, and these people could still be trusted. However, considering certain factors, Okamura Neiji still sent military police to supervise the battle.
As a result, I did not expect that these puppet troops who had participated in the Linyi Defense War and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army and were not willing to help others collapsed as soon as they left Beiping City and suffered a few bombs. The Japanese military police who supervised the battle not only failed to
Although they played the role of supervising the war, they were backlashed by the former national troops who were dissatisfied with the surrender of their chief officers and acted as puppet troops after they themselves were captured.
One division even tied up all the officers of the battalion and above, together with the Japanese advisers, and collectively surrendered to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. After the two puppet divisions mutinied, the huge city of Beiping except for more than a hundred military police and two brigades of soldiers
Apart from the guards, there was not even a person to look after the house. Where could he go to find reinforcements for Lieutenant General Shirō Hayabuchi?
Tianjin's counterattack has not made any progress. The main force of the 27th Division was surrounded in more than a dozen key points on the south bank of the North Canal and was also struggling to death. Then the two regiments of the 48th Division were transferred.
Although they tried various methods and even launched a group-style wave charge, they were still unable to retake Baodi and establish contact with the 27th Division.
It even reached a place less than ten kilometers away from the 27th Division, but it was unable to get closer to the 27th Division. Moreover, due to heavy casualties, it had to switch to a full-line defense east of Baodi. Relying on several surrounding troops
They built positions along the river to prepare for the counterattack of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.
In the west direction of Pingxi, the 110th Division and the independent 8th Brigade were also completely cut off from Peiping City by the enemy. The 110th Division mobilized the troops of two brigades and continuously launched assaults in the direction of Sanjiadian.
.But they were still unable to recapture the three stores. Instead, they were beaten to the foot of Wanping City by the enemy.
The main force of the 110th Division was trapped on the line from Xishan to Fangshan. It had rushed into the battlefield, and the somewhat messy defensive circle divided by the terrain of Xishan had been torn apart by the enemy. The entire Pingxi battlefield formed a situation where you are among me, and you are among me.
Situation. The main force of the 110th Division has been unable to completely defeat the enemy.
Under the general attack of the enemy, although the 110th Division adopted the tactics of fighting for points one by one, it still lost several commanding heights such as Dafangshan, Laolongwo, and Lizicheng in the Fangshan area within one day, and its own depth was also affected.
There is a considerable threat. It is now impossible to mobilize the 110th Division to return to support Beiping City.
Although the pressure on the 59th Division in the direction of Tongzhou is the smallest among the surrounding divisions, the entire division has been tightly entangled by the enemy in Songzhuang, Lucheng, and Zhangjiawan on the Tongzhou front line.
On the front line, no one can do anything to anyone. Although they are already very close to Beiping City, they just can't get close.
The corruption of the entire war situation made Okamura Neiji quite distressed. He believed that he still underestimated the threat posed by the Anti-Japanese Alliance moving south, and also underestimated the determination of the enemy. He had already expected that the Anti-Japanese Alliance would move south and enter the country sooner or later.
But he did not expect that his opponent would dare to dispatch so many troops south to the battlefield in North China when the Kwantung Army was heavily concentrated in southern Manchuria.
