Chapter 81 There is more unlucky

A daughter bought horse bones. Chiang Kai-shek had always regarded Zhang Xuewu as a sign to show off, but now that Zhang Xuewu led his troops to guard Chengde, Chiang Kai-shek certainly knew that if it hadn't been for his own telegram, he would have retreated to the front line of the Great Wall.

Now Zhang Xuewu obeys his orders to defend Chengde and the Japanese army. Although Chiang Kai-shek is very satisfied with Zhang Xuewu's implementation of the military order without any discount, he is also very angry that Zhang Xuewu is not flexible and does not know how to avoid it. However, there is still a trace of joy, that is, Zhang Xuewu's second son can be used. .

The National Revolutionary Army has been in the army for many years, and there are many generals who have shouted that they are fierce and successful, but there is only a lack of Zhang Xuewu who is down-to-earth and willing to work without fear of life and death. Chiang Kai-shek has always disliked people who boast.

At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek is very contradictory, because on the one hand, he does not want to lose the strong brigade of the new first division, and on the other hand, he wants Chengde to lose, because only the loss of Chengde means the complete defeat of Zhang Hanqing. The logical reduction of the vassal is his delay, but Chiang Kai-shek also has his own bottom line. The new first division must It needs to be rescued. In addition, it can only use the first force. The three divisions of Xu Tingyao's 17th Army are all elite. The losses of the Japanese army will be quite large. The name of the Japanese army that is bound to be repelled may not be big, but it is not difficult for the new first division to defend Chengde? What's more, Zhang Xuewu is Zhang Hanqing's cousin. How can Zhang Hanqing not do his best?

Boom! Boom! Boom! All shells fell from the positions of the Chinese garrison on the side of Majiagou, Chengde. Yuanbu, the head of the 8th Brigade, who had lost their surname, and the two infantry regiments ordered by Ichiro to fully attack the Chinese garrison positions under the cover of the field artillery regiment of the division.

Shortly after the attack began, Yuanbu and Ichiro found their previous mistake, that is, the left and right wing positions of the Chinese defenders were actually a multiple defense line, so even if the Chinese defenders transferred troops from the left wing to strengthen the right wing, it would not have much impact on the overall defense posture.

However, this result was only found after Yuanbu and Ichiro paid at least 300 casualties. After the angry Yuanbu and Ichiro launched a full-scale attack, they were surprised to find that the other Chinese defenders were not only equipped with a response to the artillery counterattack, but also had a large number of machine guns and a complete fortification system? The shelling of the wild artillery fleet does not seem to be effective?

Maxin heavy machine guns, Czech light machine guns and mortars have become the nightmare of the Japanese army. The most helpless thing for the Japanese army is that the defenders poured a lot of water in all the places they could think of before their positions. It is obviously an impossible task to step on the ice and attack the enemy's positions. In desperation, the circle and one Lang could only temporarily stop the attack.

Yuanbu and Ichiro returned to the division headquarters to report to the division commander that the front-line attack was blocked, but they found that the atmosphere in the division headquarters was very strange? What are the staff officers whispering about? Has the news of the frustration of his attack reached the division headquarters?

The second attack was set up with a brigade, three captains and a major, not to mention that the whole 10th Division, and even all the participating troops have not suffered so many casualties since the Battle of Rehe, right? These damn Chinese troops!

Enbe and Ichiro came calmly to the head of Hirose Shou, who seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "I'm sorry! Your Excellency, the commander of the division, our department's attack on the side ridge of Majiagou was blocked, and we asked for heavy artillery, chariots and aircraft to help!"

Hirose Shousuke, who was wearing a tweed coat and holding a water cup, stood up and looked at his fierce general and said, "How big is the loss?"

Yuanbu and Ichiro took a deep breath and bowed slightly and said, "At least one thousand people have been killed in battle, and there are still 500 minor and serious injuries. Major Ono, Captain Hirota and Captain Shiye are all martyred."

Hirose Shousuke's originally small triangular eyes couldn't help opening up after Yuanbu and Ichiro reported casualties. The skin of Hirose Shousuke's face also twitched uncontrollably a few times, but it soon returned to normal and said, "According to the intelligence, Tang Yulin's three brigades have collapsed. There should be only national politics here. As a result, the troops of a division of the new first division of Axe have the counterattack firepower of at least one [***] artillery regiment, so Chengde's Chinese garrison is likely to be an army, not a division.

Hirose Shousuke's words stunned Yuanbu and Ichiro slightly. Hirose Shousuke then changed his tone and said, "The casualties are indeed not small, but this also proves that we really met our opponents, don't they? The honor of the emperor [***] people is to be obtained through battle and blood. Although we have suffered a great loss, it is said that the commander of the Matsugi Zhiliang division is not only a matter of heavy casualties. The commander of the Pingsong Hero Brigade was killed by a cannon!"

Hirose Shousuke's last two words were lowered his voice, but he still stunned Yuanbu and Ichiro. I heard that his old classmate, who was not very popular and spoke mean, was likely to be promoted to lieutenant general on the first day of attacking Chengde? Kazuichiro Abe is also full of bitterness and unbearable mouth.

Yuanbu and Ichiro, who were still worried about their face, breathed a long sigh of relief at this moment. In fact, everyone has a subconscious way of comparison. When their losses are serious, they will feel extremely annoyed, but suddenly they find that there are people around them who are more unlucky than me. It seems that I will feel much better at this moment.

Anyway, compared with the 27th Brigade, which put all the brigade commanders in, the loss of a brigade is negligible. There is no most unlucky, only more unlucky!

Just when Kazuichiro Enbe thought that no one would pay attention to him, Hirose Shousuke suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Enbe, would you please come and see the standard of making this sand table? This is based on the map planned by the Army Province in 1921 for the Banchina trip.

Yuanbu and Ichiro nodded and looked carefully for a long time and said, "The side ridge of Majiagou, which I commanded the attack, is basically in this shape. As for the topography department of Tiger Ditch and Sengguanfeng, it has not been surveyed on the spot, so it is difficult to express opinions."

After Hirose Shousuke hummed, he used a baton to say a little Chengde: "Zhong [***] is very smart. They gave up half of Chengde's contracted troops and used the three support points of Tiger Dou, Majiagou Side Ridge and Monk Guanfeng to defend Chengde. Now our army has failed to attack the side Ridge of Majiagou, and the front [***] has With good defensive preparations, the normal tactical attack on the enemy's support points will receive an unexpected effect, but the [***] fortifications are very complete, and the sense of resistance is also very tenacious. The new first division is one of the few German troops of Nanjing Zheng Axe, and the base is the guard brigade of the Northeast Army, so we must fight. Drop this force to shock the Nanjing side and the Northeast military system.

Yuanbe and Ichiro took a deep breath and looked at the division commander Hirose Shousuke and said, "What are you going to do?"
