It's not that Lin Feng and Du Zifu don't believe in their favorite generals, but the battle of Qingfengdian is very important to the entire Baoding battlefield. If they don't capture Qingfengdian, even if Xiong Botao captures Anguo, Daxin, and Dongting, he won't be able to completely defeat them.
Blocked the Japanese retreat route on the Baoding battlefield.
Even if we capture Dingxian on time and advance to the front line of Mingyuedian, if the Qingfengdian breach is not closed in time, we will be attacked from both sides. Whether we can stop the retreating Japanese army is another matter. After all, we fought with the Japanese army.
After so many years of friendship, both Lin Feng and Du Zifu knew the Japanese army very well.
It is possible for the Japanese army to retreat when defeated, and it is quite normal for the Japanese army to be divided and encircled. However, no matter how miserable the defeat was, there was never a rout or a total collapse. In other words, when the Japanese army retreated, most of them
Under the circumstances, at least some of the troops still maintain full combat effectiveness.
Moreover, when the Japanese army retreats, they always have a clear division of labor. The troops behind them resist desperately to buy time for the main force to break out. The Qingfengdian line is the only place where the Japanese army retreats to the Shimen line. If they cannot capture Qingfengdian, once they are captured
The retreating Japanese troops rushed through Qingfengdian and rushed to Dingxian, which had a great impact on the overall situation.
At this moment, Li He, who was on the front line of Qingfengdian, had entered a critical moment. Naturally, he didn't know that his two immediate bosses, despite making promises, were still a little uneasy. In fact, he was two more senior than him at the moment.
The immediate boss, who is not very relieved, is even more stressed.
He knew that apart from capturing the entire Qingfeng Store as quickly as possible and completing the entire campaign deployment of the superiors to completely seal off the retreat of the five Japanese regiments on the Baoding battlefield, there was no second option to choose from, and the one in his heart was
He is so arrogant that he will not allow himself to fail.
Li He, who knew that his previous preparations were too detailed and delayed for too long, knew better. The time lost in preparations must be recovered after the actual start. Because he does not know what has been done on the Baoding battlefield.
Look, have any Japanese troops broken out?
If there are, plus the enemies of Baoding, the number will definitely not be too small. So he clearly knows that there is not much time left for him on the entire Qingfengdian battlefield. Otherwise, once the Japanese retreating troops arrive,
Not only will he be unable to complete the tasks assigned by his teacher, but he will also be attacked from both sides.
Although Li He was fully prepared and used a variety of tactics to forcibly advance deep into the Japanese army. Although his two sharp knife companies had torn apart the entire peripheral defense line of the Japanese army, the second echelon was completely destroyed.
The Japanese troops in Qingfengdian are the first and second lines of defense in the east and have begun to develop in depth.
However, as Nakahata Mamoruichi invested more and more troops in the counterattack, the intensity of the counterattack became stronger and stronger. His idea of completely dividing the defenders was never realized. Although the attacking troops in the north and south directions
With the cooperation, they continued to bleed the defenders, and the beatings made Nakahata Mamoru quite overwhelmed, and even a little unsustainable.
However, he was still unable to at least drive the Japanese army out of Qingfengdian within the time he expected. He broke into the Jiandao Camp within the Japanese army's position, and kept fighting with the remaining Japanese troops in the ruins of Qingfengdian Town.
During the fierce fighting, the houses inside and outside the town had now become piles of rubble, and the transportation trenches that had been exposed by the Japanese army had become large and small battlefields.
The subsequent second echelon was also entangled by Mamoru Nakahata's reinforcements from both wings, regardless of casualties, with the cooperation of tanks. Although the attacking troops were slow, they still continued to push the Japanese troops towards the west side of the town.
The Han Railway was oppressive, but the speed of advancement was always slow. In some areas, it had even become a front-line push, an outcome that Li He least wanted to see.
The Japanese army reacted very quickly. After the fire ignited by the incendiary bombs decreased in intensity, they immediately readjusted their deployment. On the middle road, they shrank part of their troops into the pile of rubble. With the first echelon of the anti-alliance alliance, they piled rubble one pile after another.
The fight for the heap was extremely strenuous.
Although the tanks dispatched by the Japanese army were specially left on the eastern battlefield by him to provide direct fire support, a 76mm self-propelled artillery battery, in conjunction with the recoilless rifles and rocket launchers equipped by the infantry, were all destroyed in the shortest time. The Japanese army
The dispatched tanks did not pose a substantial threat to his second echelon.
However, the Japanese infantry successfully used the outside of the Qingfeng Store, and there was no distinction between battlefields. The Japanese army suddenly dispatched tanks to achieve a tactical surprise that caught the second echelon off guard. With the time difference gained, they were entangled with the second echelon.
together.
Although he kept telling himself to be calm, the long-delayed battle made Li He, who was always observing the battle with a telescope, somewhat impatient. However, reports on the progress of each department continued to come from the walkie-talkies and radio stations.
Instead of urging, Li He kept warning cadres at all levels to be steady.
While observing the battle situation and based on the reports from the assault troops, Li He repeatedly searched for the weaknesses of the Japanese army on the entire battlefield. After repeated consideration, he gritted his teeth and put all the tanks left by his superiors onto the battlefield.
Order the troops attacking from the north and south to speed up the progress of the operation.
However, regardless of the fact that the command post had been moved to a destroyed core fortification on the eastern periphery of the Japanese army at this time. Facing a somewhat stalemate battle situation, and a somewhat anxious Li He, the defense system had basically been disrupted.
, feeling the pressure increasing, and even Nakahata Mamoru didn't know that there were very few troops left at hand.
Just as they were constantly adjusting their deployment, a potential danger was approaching them. The entire battlefield was in chaos, and the two sides were intertwined with each other, leaving their command posts on the battlefield.
.In other words, their respective positions currently have no guarantee of safety.
As the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company of the 25th Regiment serving as the Sharp Knife Battalion this time, it was one of the troops designated by Li He to use the Japanese traffic trenches to infiltrate. But for the 3rd Company Commander Tang Zheng, he was also in a state of distress at this time. After breaking into the Japanese army two depths,
After two hours of fierce fighting, his troops had all been scattered, and all the troops around him combined together only left one and a half squads.
What annoys him even more is that not only is his troops out of control now, but the key is that he doesn't know where he is. After the Japanese army changed Qingfengdian into a key prevention and control area, they forcibly relocated the people here, and the entire town
A fortress has been formed inside and outside.
Especially where he is now, many houses have been demolished by the Japanese army in order to open up the shooting boundary. Coupled with the artillery preparations before the battle started, and the results of hundreds of incendiary bombs, the entire town is already in ruins.
, the entire topography has changed considerably.
Not to mention the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which was created by both people and land, I am afraid that even the old people who have lived in the local area all their lives can't find the southeast, northwest, and northwest. The town structure map that was sent to the attacking troops to search for local residents and draw it is now basically impossible to find.
It's just a piece of waste paper. If you follow the graphics on it, you may go in that direction.
He looked at the piles of rubble that were still burning and listened to the dense sound of gunfire and gunfire all around. But because of the obstruction of the ruins, he only knew that there was fierce fighting all around, but he couldn't see the location of his brother's troops. As for the weapons carried by his instructor.
Other troops can't even be seen now.
Tang Zheng, who put away the compass, frowned and cursed "What the hell." After entering the depths of the Japanese army, he discovered that the Japanese army's communication trenches were built in all directions. As for where these twists and turns of communication trenches lead to, that can only be
I looked at it. As a result, I just looked at it like this. Now there are only one and a half classes left around me, and the instructor doesn't know where he rushed.
The walkie-talkie he was carrying was damaged by the Japanese army's cold gunfire. Even if he wanted to contact the instructor and superiors, he could no longer do so. If he sent a correspondent to find it, then forget it. Don't miss the troops on such a chaotic battlefield.
He was picking up a soldier who didn't have many soldiers left.
Just when Tang Zheng was at a crossroads, he was having a headache about which direction to choose next. A squad leader behind him came to him and told him in a low voice that there was a discovery fifty meters behind them to the left.
There were several telephone lines. They had just used bayonets to kill two Japanese communications soldiers who suddenly jumped out from a well-camouflaged hiding place nearby to check the lines.
Hearing this news, the cloud on Tang Zheng's face suddenly disappeared because he could not contact the neighboring troops. There was a telephone line and line-checking troops were sent out. This undoubtedly meant that there must be at least 10 people nearby.
A brigade-level headquarters of the Japanese army is a fat fish.
If it were a field call at the squadron level, line checkers would never be sent out continuously, let alone several phone lines. Tang Zheng could think of the end of these phone lines with his toes. Even though the squad leader shook his head repeatedly
, said he didn’t see the radio antenna, but he still felt that it must be a big fish.
Tang Zheng, who had this idea, did not hesitate at all, and followed the telephone line with his only one and a half squad. When encountering enemy troops, as long as they were small groups of enemy troops, he would avoid
To alert the enemy, try not to shoot, but lead two veterans to deal with it with bayonets.
Although he missed the selection due to injury and was not able to enter the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, he was not only a scout, but also served as a reconnaissance platoon leader. Although in terms of reconnaissance and methods, as well as some necessary techniques, tactics and weapons, he is definitely not as good as
The reconnaissance force is directly under the upper military region, but it is not comparable to ordinary veterans.
In addition to the squad leader who reported to him, he was also a veteran brought over from the reconnaissance company when he was transferred to this company. The two of them plus a veteran used the cover of the surrounding rubble to attack with three rifles.
The three-edged bayonet he removed opened the way and he carefully touched along the telephone line. Fortunately, except for scattered enemies, he did not encounter large groups of Japanese troops along the way.
In fact, Tang Zheng, whose walkie-talkie was broken, did not know that he was already in the first echelon, the furthest unit of the Japanese army. The Japanese army's energy was attracted by the fierce battle behind him. In addition,
Despite the casualties, the Japanese army, whose main forces were concentrated behind him, did not have many troops in depth, so his fishing operation progressed smoothly.
His good luck came to an end when he passed through a short alley that had become ruins. Although the number of Japanese troops on the opposite side was small, their vigilance was unusually high. Just when Tang Zheng used the ruins for cover, he raised
Use a telescope and look carefully to find the end of the telephone line.
A soldier behind him accidentally stepped on a piece of waste brick that was damaged by an artillery shell, and made a slight noise. As soon as there was a noise here, the Japanese machine guns over there immediately swept over. Intense cross fire hit Tang Zheng and him.
