Chapter 142: The Great Wall Bloody Battle (III)

After the madness, the Japanese army finally began to gradually regain their rationality. The Japanese officers and soldiers of the 10th Division and the 14th Division, as the first troops to attack Chengde, began to realize that this was a battle without hope.

Even if they win, most of them are destined to not see the victory. The nineteen-year-old Private Takakura, like most Japanese soldiers, was holding a cold rifle with an empty stomach and shrank in a ruin. Forty minutes ago, there were seven people including Otomo Shou and Suo. However, they were stared at by the sharpshooters of the Chinese army and soon went to Kyudansaka to meet. Private Takakura did not want to die, so he kept lying on the ground and motionless, occasionally looking at the stars through the gap between the two corpses.

Takakura, who has accepted the so-called Japanese teenagers who were trained for the imperial kingdom since childhood, did not cultivate the so-called true Bushido personality. Takakura's ancestors were all farmers and were the targets of being vented by warriors after being conquered. Therefore, Takakura had no good feelings for the samurai and believed that they were a group of fools and madmen who had been daydreaming all day without any effort.

However, Takakura no dared to make such remarks publicly in Japan. He could only complain after being beaten. All the veterans who bullied him now died, Takakura no Yoshi was a little happy.

Like the Takakura name, many Japanese officers and soldiers also experienced what they learned from this fierce war? It seems that they were raised by their parents, and they have no money to do with the emperor who had never seen a real person. Instead, they have to bear the heavy taxes such as naval shipbuilding taxes that are so heavy that they are so irritating. They have no money, and the pigs, cattle, sheep, even chickens and dogs raised at home are taken away, saying that they are contributing to the revival of the imperial kingdom?

Pigs, cows, and sheep can be sold, chickens can eat meat or lay eggs, it is not difficult to understand. What can dogs do? Can dogs build warships for the navy? Or can guns and cannons for the army? What does the emperor need his own dog to do? The emperor needs the loyalty of the dog?

The passive slackness of the Japanese officers and soldiers allowed Xu Guohui's remnants to reorganize and fight again. When the Sino-Japanese armies of Chengde and De fought fiercely all night, Song Zheyuan at Xifengkou also made a ruthless move. During the day, the Japanese army's field artillery cut off the strength of a battalion of the 29th Army. The 29th Army, which lacked counterattack artillery fire and even had enough rifles, decided to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Japanese army overnight to use roundabout night attack tactics to attack the enemy.

So, Song Zheyuan personally ordered Brigade Commander Zhao Dengyu to lead two regiments into one route, from the left wing to the Panjiakou, and to attack the Japanese army on the high ground on the west side of Xifengkou, and to attack the Japanese army on the high ground on the west side of Xifengkou. He ordered Brigade Commander Tong Zeguang to lead two other regiments into another route, and to exit Dongjiakou from the right wing through Qinmen Pass, and to attack the Japanese army on the high ground on the east side of Xifengkou, and to attack the Japanese army on the high ground on the east side of Xifengkou. He ordered Brigade Commander Wang Zhibang to serve as a frontal defense. After the left and right routes started, he would attack from the frontal.

That night, the officers and soldiers of Zhao Brigade carried big swords on their backs and advanced in the dark of the night! At dawn on the 26th, they arrived at Beishan Tu, Sanjiazi Japanese cavalry positions, Caijiayu, and Baitaizi artillery positions. The officers and soldiers of the 29th Army took advantage of the Japanese sleeping opportunity, slashed and killed them with big swords, and blew up the fire-saturated baggage, food and fodder in the Japanese positions, and burned them all.

After hearing the news, the Japanese army stationed in Laobashan rushed to rescue him immediately. So the two sides fought in the darkness of the night. At this time, Tong Zeguang's brigade attacking from the right wing came to reinforce, and Wang Zhibang brigade, who was responsible for the frontal support mission, also began to attack the northeastern highlands of Xifengkou. Under the joint attack of Zhao and Tong's brigade, they finally repelled the Japanese army. The night attack troops returned victoriously from the original route.

After a fierce battle all night, the 29th Political Department jointly declared, and a reporter from Nanjing Daily personally visited the frontier to count. In this battle, he killed 68900 Japanese troops and killed the captain of the Japanese army Ueda Juniori, destroying the 18th 75mm field artillery. After the attack on this attack, the Japanese army immediately temporarily stopped attacking the positions near Xifengkou. The two troops of Zengji Cat River and Saga attacked at dusk on the 26th and occupied Panjiakou to confront the 29th Army.

For a time, domestic newspapers reported on the 29th Army's great victory in Xifengkou. The 29th Army became a hero in the minds of the Chinese people after the new first division. The news of the 29th Army's big sword showing off almost all newspaper headlines. Countless condolences and condolences were given names and donated to the soldiers of the 29th Army. This made the chiefs of the 17th Army of the Central Army gathered in Gubeikou dull. When they learned that the military branch transferred a batch of condolences to the 17th Army. As a result, halfway through the journey, a staff officer told the words "The 29th Army" that the 29th Army who was fighting against Japan and killed the enemy. Xu Tingyao even lost his face to receive condolences!

However, behind the brilliant results, he was probably the only one who knew the pain in Song Zheyuan's heart. Although the attacking troops had brilliant results, fourteen officers at the two levels of the battalion were killed in the regiment and the casualties of more than three thousand officers and soldiers. This was a melee that would not be deducted!

Relying on the advantages of assassination technology and excellent weapons, the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army used their flesh and blood to attack the Japanese machine gun positions and defense lines. Finally, for the sake of the people's face and the morale of the troops, Song Zheyuan forced to reduce the casualties by 0, knocked off the front teeth and swallowed blood, and swallowed the tears into his stomach.

Song Zheyuan knew that since he had concealed the casualties, the military government would definitely not admit the pension of these more than 2,000 dead officers and soldiers, and there was no way to solve it himself!

After the Japanese army was frustrated at Xifengkou, Muto Nobuyi immediately dispatched one of the 4th Infantry Brigade and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the 8th Division to launch an attack from the flank to Luowenyu, attempting to directly threaten the left rear of the Xifengkou position of the 29th Army. Defending here was the Liu Ruming's troops of the temporary second division of the 29th Army.

At dawn on the 27th, the Japanese army attempted to seize the Sanchakou Highland of Luowenyu with a large squadron. The defenders ran a regiment to go out of Huangyakou, intercepted the enemy, and repelled it. In the morning, the Japanese army, with the support of artillery, attacked Luowenyu, Shanzhayu and Shabaoyu with the support of artillery. The defenders lured the enemy to approach, fought and charged hand-to-hand. The battle continued until the evening. The Japanese army suddenly changed their tactics and implemented barrage propulsion with infantry and artillery combination. The 29th defenders were very unacceptable to the Japanese army's barrage Xu Jin's tactics, and could only rely on the city walls and watchtowers to resist tenaciously in the fire of artillery.

The commander of the 1st lieutenant general of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army personally led two full infantry brigades to reinforce. With the support of fierce artillery fire, some of the main and secondary Japanese troops repeatedly rushed towards the defenders. When the Japanese army approached, the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army drew out their swords, jumped out of their positions to fight with the enemy, fought until late at night, and repelled them.
