Chapter 312 East and West Flanking
Dai Peng took a deep breath and said, "You can deploy troops and firepower at the back side! It's a low-lying area. I remember a large hole in a basement was blown up by the Japanese army?
Where to deploy firepower points in Japan, there is no way to discover them, and there is no way to do it in both mortars and direct fire."
He Jun nodded and was about to leave the stuffy turret full of pungent smell. Dai Peng grabbed He Jun and said, "How many troops do you have?"
He Jun was stunned and said with a little unnatural expression: "There are fifty-one people!"
"Fifty-one?" Dai Peng exclaimed immediately, and Lu Yu also looked at He Jun in surprise.
If He Jun hadn't led his troops to escape and avoid war, how could there be such a small casualty? The sturdy buildings in the east of the city, including Chaoyang Bank, were smashed by the Japanese army with 150 mm cannons. All the defenders of the two companies inside were sacrificed to death. There was no decent building in the east of the city and there was no decent building, except for a piece of rubble and rubble!
And one company of He Jun can actually have fifty-one combatants? This is a miracle! If He Jun did not avoid the war, Dai Peng's first thing was to ask He Jun to apply for a medal and upgrade him to two levels in a row.
He Jun took a deep breath and said, "These fifty-one people are the last fighters of the left wing position!"
"What?" Dai Peng exclaimed: "There are at least ten infantry companies on the left wing position, and at least three companies were reinforced during this period, and there were only fifty-one men?"
He Jun nodded and said, "The Japanese army used two fire-breathing tanks on the left wing. Although they were eventually fired into a fire group by their brothers with anti-tank rifles, the more than 400 wounded and dozens of nurses in the Guangmao Trading Company were buried in the Japanese sea of fire. The remaining brothers fought for each Japanese army, until they all became rubble and had no room to defend. In order to continue to block the enemy, the brothers reorganized and served as an officer, so they temporarily formed a company, hoping to continue to block the enemy at the outside of the city gate."
Dai Peng nodded and said, "It's not your fault for fighting to this extent. Everyone is good. If you can survive, I will ask Commander Zhang for your brothers!"
He Jun smiled and said with an indifferent expression, "There is no need to ask for me. We are alive now to kill more Japanese people. For these two animals, they dare not come again only if they kill them all. The Japanese army attacked our Chaoyang Fortress repeatedly because we killed too few Japanese devils. They killed them without leaving any one!"
Dai Peng looked at He Jun who was furious and nodded. What kind of preferential treatment should be given to the enemy, humanity, and kindness on the battlefield, that is cruelty to himself. Since it is war, the essence of war is to fight and bleed. Death is just an added value of war. It is better for the enemy to die than to die by oneself?
Soon, the Japanese attack began with the storm of artillery bombardment. Dai Peng looked at He Jun worriedly and disappeared into the smoke of gunpowder. The last round of the Iron Cavalry Test Tank, which had run out of ammunition and food, was exposed to armor-piercing bullets, penetrated a Type 95 chariot trying to break through the breakthrough from the front to the back. The flesh, residual limbs, and internal organs of the Japanese crew members splashed out through the holes as big as a washbasin.
The scorched Japanese chariots were like barbecue iron plates frying beef, making a creepy squeak. With the smell of burnt smell spreading, the subsequent Japanese chariots were shocked by the tragic chariots in front of them, and they began to reverse desperately. In a panic, a Japanese chariot was crushed to the end of the battle. Several infantry following him were caught back. The chariots were retreating heavily, and the Japanese infantry that followed him also began to retreat to both wings without the cover of the chariots.
Soldiers are not fools. They have experienced the fierce firepower of the Chinese defenders many times. If a person is hit by a wall by chance, then every time he is beaten and hit the wall without repentance? That is the behavior of a pig, and the left wing has made a breakthrough. As long as the left and right troops infiltrate, the Chinese army will naturally retreat and fight to the death at this time? So the Japanese attack was naturally in chaos.
Huozhou Libing looked at the unscrupulous troops in the amusement mirror. He really wanted to give orders to let the heavy artillery wipe out these famous guys in the Japanese imperial army at once, but they bombarded their own troops for no reason. Especially when there was no enemy entanglement with it, and it was not the key point of the overall collapse of the attack. It was obviously unwise to use artillery fire to cover it.
In the view of Huozhou Libing, the chariot troops should advance bravely after the first chariot was destroyed, and use the chariots to fight bayonets with the enemy. They cannot penetrate the enemy from a long distance, and cannot be penetrated at a close distance? Besides, the enemy's ammunition takes time, right? In the final analysis, the chariot troops lack the will and spirit to die.
In fact, Huozhou Lijun was wrongly accused the Eighth Regiment of Independent Chariots assigned to him. This unit was an elite unit of the Kwantung Army. It was first equipped with the 95 light chariot troops, and also replaced the long-barrel 37mm chariot gun. In previous exchanges with Rehe, this unit was not fortunate to participate because its stationed location was on the border between Heilongjiang and the Soviet Union.
This time, because it was the largest operation in the history of the Kanto Army and was related to the fate of the imperial country, the Independence Eighth Tank Regiment was also drawn out, and joined the First Front Army from the Border Guard. Major General Shimayama Kurooyama, the Independence Eighth Tank Regiment, who had always been eager to make another contribution to the empire and to serve His Majesty the Emperor, was blown into a bonfire as early as the third round of assault. The most brave and desperate car crew of the Independence Eighth Tank Regiment, and their chariots were frozen into one.
For the officers and soldiers of the Japanese Independence Eighth Warriors, the synonym for bravery is to die quickly, so the remaining officers and soldiers of the Independence Eighth Warriors are not fools. For the Japanese army, the war chariot is as precious as the field heavy howitzer. Army soldiers can sacrifice at will, but the war chariot cannot be sacrificed easily, because the replenishment of the war chariot is far more difficult than replenishing a rifle. If a soldier is killed, his weapon may be intact, but if the chariot soldiers are killed, their chariot will only be left with a pile of broken iron.
When Huozhou Li was in a bad mood, he received a secret report on the situation of war from the Kwantung Army General Command. The 39th Division, which was responsible for the restraint of Chengde area, was defeated by the main force of the Chinese army.
The 36th Division, which was responsible for blocking Chifeng east of Chaoyang, was also severely damaged by the Chinese army. A Chinese army with at least three or four hundred tanks and armored vehicles defeated the 36th Division from the flank. The commander of Yoshinokawa Jiro's division used all his troops on the front, was successfully attacked by the Chinese army. The commander of Yoshinokawa Jiro's division was seriously injured.
Huozhou Lijun came to the map and looked at the overall situation of fighting. Although his First Front Army had not yet captured Chaoyang and occupied all the fortresses, it was confirmed that it had mobilized two armored divisions and four youth army reorganization divisions in the 10th War Zone. In addition to the Chinese defenders in Chifeng, Zhangjiakou, Chengde, Chaoyang, Yinchuan, Datong and Hohhot, the troops in the 10th War Zone should be almost exhausted.
When they get entangled with the reinforcements of the Chinese army, it is probably the time for Tojo Hideki to attack? Huozhou Ribuki found out that he was actually starting to become sad. Such a large casualty was just to cover Tojo Hideki's chariot division and mechanized division attack?
If it weren't for the four sides of the Rehe Battle, the government, the military headquarters, and the Kwantung Army, if the four sides of the Rehe Battle were arguing with each other, then with all their strength, how could there be the Tenth War Zone today? Now Zhang Xuewu has become a giant with the help of the Soviets. It can be seen from the railways around Chaoyang that the three provinces of Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan have long been integrated. The troops of the Tenth War Zone can maneuver quickly along the railway line, especially the Tenth War Zone has strong air power. Whether it is the Chinese Expeditionary Army or the Kwantung Army, the number of aircraft they have mastered is not enough to effectively suppress the Chinese army in the Tenth War Zone.
It seems that this attack is also the final attack? Because the Chinese army's armored troops, which came from Chifeng, would appear in the area east of Chaoyang at any time, Huozhou Libing took a deep breath and said, "Is the attacking troops successful or not in this battle? I hope you all will work together to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Those who dare to retreat will not need military law trials, and will be punished strictly on the ground without any debts.
Under the threat of the severe military law of Huozhou Lizhan, the Japanese officers and soldiers attacking Chaoyang were like chicken blood, howling and launched a full-scale attack from Chaoyang City from all directions. This was also destined to be the last madness of the First Front Army of the Kwantung Army in the Chaoyang offensive and defensive battle.
As the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Kenyoshi Ueda stood in the front command of Jinzhou, looking at the number of the 10th War Zone on the sand table. The Chinese army frowned tightly and said, "Order Commander Fengwen from the Third Front Army to step up the attack on Zhangjiakou. There are at least five newly-organized reorganized divisions of the 10th War Zone. The numbers of Zhang Xuewu's new reorganized divisions did not appear on the battlefield. Zhang Xuewu still has cards in his hand, so we cannot take risks!"
