The Japanese officers and soldiers gathered under the city wall, scrambling to climb up the siege ladder. Suddenly, dense grenades were dropped on the city wall, and machine guns protruded from the crenellations of the city wall, spraying out raging tongues of flame, beating the Japanese troops who were huddled together.
The ghosts cried and wolves howled, and soon the roots of the city wall were stained red with blood, and the corpses of the dead Japanese were piled all over the walls.
At the same time, the Japanese troops who stormed the city gate also encountered strong firepower. Officers and soldiers fell in groups. It seemed that crossing the moat and rushing into the city gate would mean death. The firepower network carefully organized by the light and heavy machine guns of the defenders in the city was like a
The sickle wielded by the god of death clears everything it touches, ruthlessly harvesting life.
Seeing the failure of the attack, the Japanese army woke up from a dream. The light and heavy machine guns responsible for providing cover opened fire at the same time. Mortars and grenades were fired at the city head for free. Soon the city wall was hit by violent explosions and heavy shells.
Shrouded in smoke, the Japanese tanks did nothing and fired directly at the city gate. Wherever the shells hit, violent explosions were heard. However, due to the clever design of the firepower points of the defenders in the city, the Japanese tanks found nothing.
"Kill me!"
The Japanese commander on the front line waved his command sword again, and the Japanese officers and soldiers rushed towards the county wall like a tide. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Japanese troops arrived in front of the moat, waiting for the engineers to lower the siege ladder.
"Da da da——"
On the city wall, countless shooting holes suddenly appeared, spitting out tongues of fire.
Since the terrain across the moat was flat, a large area of the charging Japanese troops was wiped out in one fell swoop. The Japanese troops were well-trained and quickly fell down on the spot, raised their 38 caps, and fired at the shooting holes. But one side had city wall bricks.
Although there was no cover for one side, there was no terrain or features that could be used, and the casualties of the Japanese army continued to increase.
The Japanese commander in charge of the siege was furious and no longer saved artillery shells. He once again ordered all artillery fire to be concentrated and bombarded the city wall hundreds of meters indiscriminately.
Hearing the sound of cannons, Bai Mingyi, commander of the First Army Instruction Division, made an immediate decision and immediately ordered the soldiers hidden in the soldier holes and secret passages in the city walls at both ends of the south gate of the county to retreat and quickly retreated to a building nearly 100 meters away from the city wall.
, using the buildings built by the Japanese army to set up a defense line again.
At this time, fierce gunfire was also heard outside the east gate of the county. Bai Mingyi knew that the Japanese troops at the south gate had detoured to the east gate. However, as long as there was no continuous bombardment by heavy artillery, he believed that the defense line would not be easily broken for a while, so
Still paying attention to the battle at the South Gate calmly, he didn't even think of moving to the other side of the window to watch with a telescope.
Finally, after more than ten minutes of continuous heavy artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, the wall gradually burst open, and the cracks in the wall became larger and larger. Finally, with a deafening roar, the wall tens of meters to the left of the south gate of the county collapsed.
, arousing high smoke and dust. The collapsed masonry tilted towards the city due to the huge thrust of various artillery shells. The door of Yuping County was finally opened, and it was exposed in front of the Japanese like a naked lamb with its fur removed.
Seeing that a gap had been opened, the Japanese artillery stopped bombarding. The Japanese officers and soldiers lying on the ground jumped up, rushed across the simple bridge that the engineers had built, and soon rushed into the city on the gravel and rubble. The Japanese soldiers on the front line
Not long after the smile on the commander's face appeared, intensive shooting sounded again in the city.
The Japanese troops laid out reasonable firepower points, from the windows, corners, roofs and other parts of the houses facing the city wall, to give the charging Japanese troops a head-on blow. The Japanese officers and soldiers were also extremely brave, using the collapsed city walls as bunkers to fight with the Chinese troops.
The troops exchanged fire, and from time to time some defenders were shot and fell from the roof to the ground.
For a while, the gunfire was made.
Seeing that the war situation is in a stalemate, the headquarters will be a little unable to sit still in the 16th Division of Fanzhuang, Chengnan.
"General, we can't be too entangled with the army here. Just leave a monitoring branch of the army's movement. The main force will bypass Yutian County, from Linnan warehouse, Daan's frontline to the branch of the troops, cut off the branch of the troops of the troops.
Contact, after eating the defeated branch of the army, return to the division to solve this stubborn enemy in one fell swoop. "
"Zhong Zejun, you are wrong. According to the strength of the army's army, Yutian County must be the main force of the branch of the army. According to our spy report, in addition to the four divisions of the Central Army, the second Army counts the first legion.
Sun Lianzhong's combat power is superb. Since the start of the war, the Emperor *** team has no advantage in the face of the supporting brigade. In my opinion, this is purely the commander of the army.
Eat the main force of the first legion of the army, let the world look at the power of my Kyoto Division. "
"The subordinates admire the courage of the general!" Seeing that Nakajima's current idea has been determined, Nakayawa Sanfu quickly compliment.
Lieutenant General Nakajima raised his hand wearing white gloves: "Order the grass field king to speed up the offensive rhythm, is the mortar and a gorgeus in his hand eating vegetarian?
*With the support of the brigade, still fights like this, what kind of body? Remember, what I need is a breakthrough, a global breakthrough. "
"Hi!"
Major General Chen Jiji, the head of the 19th Infantry Brigade, received an order from Nakajima's current Owa, and immediately strengthened the attack.
After standing firmly, the guns also quickly used the simple pontoon bridge of the engineering forces to repair, and used the four -door seventy millimeter ninety -type infantry gun to accurately crack down on the firepower point of the Chinese *** team.
At the same time, the mortar team directly under the brigade also began to make power. Soon, the Central *** team was exposed lightly.
Get up, while the cat shot with a waist, he shouted and launched an charge forward.
The grass field Chen was very happy. I just wanted to order all the attacks on the Ninth Union to break through the defense line of the *** team in one fell swoop.
First of all, the more than a hundred artillery players of the artillery and mortar artillery and mortar. They fell down.
The machine guns covered by the two waves of artillery fire are not good.
The sound of mortars stopped, the sound of machine guns in the city sounded happily again, and the Japanese army was quickly suppressed, lying on the ground desperately fighting, someone was hit from time to time.
"Baga!"
The grass field Chen Ji's face was pale. After this battle, the Ninth Union has invested in two brigades, and nearly a thousand people, especially the losses of the machine gun squadron and the artillery company.
The chip's long film Tonghu Lang Dajo was sad, but such a huge death and injury still could not break through the defense of the *** team.
At the Chinese garrison headquarters in the center of the county, Bai Mingyi was extremely happy and laughed loudly: "F*ck that little devil's mother! I thought I couldn't do anything with your cannons and machine guns, now I'm dumbfounded! I've been enduring the pressure.
The artillery fire is useless, just to make you grandsons numb and careless and fall into the trap. Now the entire army's mortars are in our division, which is enough for you to drink a pot."
Chief of Staff Colonel Zhong Shan reminded: "You have to tell Ou Yenan and the others to be careful. It would be bad if the Japanese heavy artillery finds their position!"
Bai Mingyi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, Lao Ou is good at fighting. He can also be regarded as a student of General An Yi. He learned the use of mortars from General An, coupled with many years of rigorous training, he can do nothing wrong. Besides, in the
It is common sense to fire a few shots and change places in front of the enemy's superior artillery fire, and they will not make this mistake."
Zhong Shan sighed and said: "Thanks to the Sanqi anti-aircraft artillery provided by the Anjia Army, otherwise we would have to use our trump card as soon as the city gate is opened. In this way, the purpose of using city defense to delay the Japanese army will be difficult to achieve. Once the Japanese army's follow-up tanks enter the battle
, we will be in big trouble."
"yes!"
Bai Mingyi nodded, then looked worried: "I heard that General An Yi's special plane was ambushed by Japanese fighter planes and his whereabouts are still unknown. I hope that with God's blessing, everything will be safe."
At this time, deafening explosions were heard again inside and outside Yutian County. It seemed that the Japanese army was unable to defeat the enemy and began to use artillery fire to cover up the old tricks, hoping to eliminate the firepower points in the county.
Hearing the "whoosh" of artillery shells flying overhead, and the sound of explosions ringing in the distance, Bai Mingyi hurriedly went downstairs with Zhong Shan, came to the ground floor, sat down at the desk in the north corner, and passed the Yutian County Japanese and Puppet Government
Make phone calls to get in touch with various departments to arrange the next step of defense matters.
...
The long convoy was speeding on the roads from Peiping to Bangjun, Yaoliu, Yutian County, Fengrun County and Tangshan. The Japanese and puppet regimes did not fail to do good things, such as this road paved with asphalt, which is quite smooth and graded.
High, which made the generals of the Fifth Army Headquarters very satisfied. After driving for more than two hours, the convoy had already passed Sanhe County and arrived at Huangtu Town. As soon as it passed Huangtu Town, it entered the winding mountainous area ahead, which is about 30 kilometers away from Bangjun.
Not far away.
Suddenly, a shrill siren sounded from the front of the vehicles in front and behind the convoy. All the generals got out of the car immediately and took shelter in the dense woods beside the road.
Small vehicles turned corners one after another and got into the woods, while large vehicles quickly pulled up camouflage nets, and everyone evacuated. Soon, three reconnaissance planes flew in in a U-shaped pattern in the eastern sky. After circling in the sky,
They continued to fly west, and after another three or four minutes, more than 40 Japanese fighter planes flew from the eastern sky. They flew west without stopping at all, probably to bomb Chao who was intensively repairing fortifications.
Beachhead on the west bank of the Baihe River.
Fortunately, after losing air supremacy, the Anjia army was very wary of the Japanese fighter planes. They sent a large number of investigators to monitor the area more than ten kilometers in front, back, left, and right, creating conditions for the troops to provide early warning.
Hu Jialin emerged from the woods, picked off the green leaves attached to his chest, and looked at the western sky: "The Japanese army has really learned the lessons of the past. Now when fighter planes are dispatched, they first send out reconnaissance planes for early warning, and then attack planes and
With such a combination of bomber formations, it will not be so easy to deal with them in the future."
Huang Zhi nodded: "***The Japanese emperor and the generals of the Army Department are still tolerant. Tokugawa Yoshitoshi made such a big mistake, but still let him sit on the throne of the aviation commander. This person has eaten
After our heavy losses, he was naturally cautious in everything and did not allow his subordinates to make any mistakes. Anyway, the pilots and generals of the aviation force are all his disciples and disciples, so he is not afraid of anyone who violates the rules."
Colonel Liu Zongyu, the intelligence chief, came in a hurry and handed Hu Jialin a telegram.
After reading this, Hu Jialin's face changed drastically. He raised the telegram in his hand and said to the generals who were surrounding him: "The special operations team disguised themselves as Japanese troops and came into contact with the Japanese army in the northern area of Yuguzhuang Town. It happened to be that the captain of the special operations team, Turtle,
Tianichiro met his fellow Osaka fellow, and through small talk, basically figured out the deployment of Japanese troops on the front line in eastern Hebei.
"This time the Japanese army really made a big bet, investing in the 4th Division, 6th Division, 7th Division, 14th Division, 16th Division, 24th Division, etc.
The 25th Division and the 26th Division have a total of eight divisions. In addition, there are more than ten *** brigades, as well as a large number of field heavy artillery brigades, armored vehicle *** brigade and *** Mountain Artillery Regiment.
Team. It can be said that Jidong now is like a hedgehog with thorns, pricking your hands!"
Lu Yixuan's face twitched slightly and he took a breath: "Good guy, the Japanese army is trying its best to make me desperate! What should we do? If we can't suppress Bangjun after a long attack, once we are surrounded by the Japanese army,
Our legion is destined to die but not live!"
Hu Jialin said resolutely: "Fight, we still have to fight! The Japanese army still doesn't know that we have moved under their noses, which creates a fighting opportunity for us. The Japanese army has control of the air, and the casualties will be too high during the day. We can wait until night falls, and suddenly
Launch an attack on the Bangjun front line and open up this transportation artery in one fell swoop."
Having said this, Hu Jialin raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It is now three o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still four hours until dark... Where are the movements of the *** Division, the Seventeenth Division and the Forty Division?
"
Chief of Operations Wen Junhao reported: "The *** Division has moved to Baijian Town, past the Panshan Mountain Road, an hour ago. Worried that the Japanese troops in Bangjun would find traces of our troops, they have left the road and entered the dense forest under the winding mountain in the north. They are now
Rest and stand by. The 17th Division is crossing the Tiejialing Mountain Road. It is expected that in order to avoid the wave of fighters just now, it will arrive at Baijian Town half an hour later than scheduled. The 40th Division is not far in front of us and is on its way up the mountain."
Hu Jialin nodded: "Okay, we will set up the legion headquarters at Tiejia Ridge to guard this important traffic road. We will seize as many as possible when the defeated troops come up, and use all of them to build fortifications. We just received a forwarding message from the Second Army Headquarters on the way.
According to the telegram, the First Army is gathering the defeated troops and will not be able to move closer to Jixian until at least tomorrow. In other words, we have to hold on from Jixian to Sanhe for at least a day and night before we can retreat, otherwise the First Army will be surrounded by the Japanese army.
"
The generals nodded in agreement. At this time, Qin Zhenbang, the director of the communications department, stumbled over and cried with joy: "Good news, good news. I just received an urgent report from Xuzhou. The commander has woken up. The commander has woken up...
."
Hu Jialin frowned and laughed loudly: "Okay, what good news! I got this good news before the war. Even if I die in this battle, I, Old Hu, will have no regrets!"
The generals laughed heartily, cheered and hugged, all immersed in the good news that An Yi had woken up.
