Chapter 96 Blue-blooded Elegy 1

How far is it from Chengde? Shen Ke, with an anxious expression, had already thrown off his coat. Two hours ago, a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft found them, and two more Japanese-wing reconnaissance aircraft circled nearby. Although Shen Ke organized machine gun air-to-air shooting to drive them away, the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft buzzed like annoying mosquitoes.

There are such frequent Japanese reconnaissance aircraft over you, but there are no destroyers and bombers coming? Shen Ke has realized that the ground troops of the Japanese army are likely to be rushing towards him!

The tactical staff on the side rolled up the map and said helplessly, "Master, there are still fifty miles left!"

Shen Ke took a deep breath and said, "Order the whole division to throw away the heavy and light load and move forward. Hurry up! Be fast!"

Move forward lightly! Move forward lightly! The tired officers and soldiers of the 106th Division were slightly stunned when they heard this order. The equipment is the old foundation of the army! You will never move forward lightly unless you have to, because I'm afraid that the discarded equipment and materials will not be replenished in two or three years. Moving forward lightly means that there are two possibilities. One is that Chengde is already in danger, and the other is that they may be bitten by myself.

Xiyi, with a blue face, wrapped in a thick coat, looked at an unnamed dot on the map and said, "Here! Right here, order the automatic convoy to go to the cavalry wing immediately and intercept the reinforcements of [***]!"

The commander of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army, Xiyi No. 1st Middle School, got the aircraft reconnaissance report and knew that there was a troop of about one brigade moving forward side by side with Chengde and the 8th Division, and a brigade of a brigade [***] dared to cross the pass on the front line of the Great Wall to reinforce Chengde? If it hadn't been for the confirmation of the reconnaissance aircraft of the flight team twice in a row, Xiyiyi thought that the cold of Rehe had hallucinated those pilots. Since the meat was sent to the door, Xiyi naturally had no reason not to eat it! Xiyi didn't know that the so-called troops of a brigade were actually a seriously absent Chinese division!

All the officers and soldiers of the 106th Division have closed the radio station since they crossed the pass. Shen Ke knew the danger of this battle. He really couldn't trust the bosses of the military branch. He was afraid that his telegram had just arrived, and he knew it, but even so, he still did not escape the patrol of the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft. Shen Ke At this moment, I can only hope to quickly get rid of the siege of the Japanese army after dark, and rush into Chengde in a rush, which is also an explanation to Zhang Xueliang!

In the snow, the Chinese soldiers were panting and pushing forward with difficult steps. The weapons on their bodies and grenades collided from time to time. The only few mortars and heavy machine guns of the 106th Division were protected in the middle of the army, which was the only heavy firepower of the 106th Division. There is no need to have a half-point loss pool.

Stepping on the creaking and creaking snow, the mountains in the distance become blurred with the sun in the west. The hot river in winter is very early. As the sun disappears, the temperature seems to drop by several degrees in an instant? The annoying Japanese reconnaissance aircraft in the air also disappeared!

Marching on the snow is almost a great test of human physical fitness. The soldiers in front of them are struggling to walk, but the soldiers behind them fall on the strong and smooth snow from time to time. From time to time, soldiers who are extremely tired fall to the ground unconsciously, and the comrades-in-arms beside them will quickly lift them up. At this time, it is ten thousand You can't stop, because once a big man stops, it is tantamount to suicide, but some soldiers fell down on the roadside and no one noticed it! For two and a half days without sleep and a journey of more than 300 miles, the officers and soldiers of the 106th Division did not know how they persisted?

The two legs failed to beat the four wheels in the end. It can be said that in many specific cases, the infantry's legs could not run the four motorized car wheels. Obviously, the 106th Division did not encounter any miracles. One of them was not even on my military map. On the marked hill, the 4th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army finally intercepted the 106th Division.

The torped bullets were beating on the snow like a chain of fire. More than a dozen white flares and a dozen flares rose into the air. The explosion of the artillery was mixed with the dull sound of grenade explosions. The advancing Chinese soldiers suddenly messed up under the rain of bullets like flying locusts.

Some officers waved their pistols to greet the soldiers beside them to stabilize their defense on the spot. On the one hand, they sent people to report the situation to the division behind them. These officers who waved pistols soon became excellent targets of the Japanese army. Soon they fell into a pool of blood, and bullets hit the snow and a snow pillar more than a meter high.

Some of the Chinese soldiers who were in panic lay in place and did not know the so-called counterattack, while others ran around! The vanguard of the 106th Division fell into a state of collapse in an instant.

The sound of gunfire in front of him made Shen Ke's nerves tighten. It is only less than ten kilometers away from Chengde. When he encountered the ambush of the Japanese army here, it shows that the problem is naturally self-evident. What should I do? Shen Ke already knew that he had no way out. The Japanese army had the strength of five divisions and several brigades in Rehe. There were only two divisions of the Japanese army on the periphery of Chengde. The 106th Division, which maintained radio silence along the way, did not know whether the strength of the Japanese army's siege had changed significantly.

Shen Ke first immediately ordered the radio station to start up and contact the Beiping Army Branch, and then ordered the whole division to attack the flank of the military position in front of the face. After breaking through the military defense of the Japanese army, he wanted to attack Chengde at all costs, and contacted the new first division of the Chengde garrison to respond.

Shen Ke looked at the panicked officers and soldiers beside him and shouted, "Brothers! It's only one step away from Chengde. He said that I was a beast with two legs and surrendered as a prisoner? I don't want to be captured. They will treat you all as targets for assassination. If you fall into their hands, life is worse than death. There is still a glimmer of life in the battle! Today is the day of our martyrdom for the country, in order to atone for the crime of losing the three northeastern provinces without fighting! Brothers, come with me!"

Under the exemplary role of division commander Shen Ke, the Chinese soldiers who were in chaos in the night instinctively gathered to a large group of people. Shen Ke rushed to the front of the army with a Czech-made light machine gun. The officers and soldiers of the 106th Division knew very well that if they could not break through the resistance of the Japanese army, then he They will all be buried in this wilderness and snow, becoming a frozen and abandoned corpse, bitten by wild wolves and wild dogs, and will not be integrated into the earth until spring.

The anxious Shen Ke led his troops into the weaker right wing of the Fourth Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army like a steel knife. Major General Meitong of the Fourth Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army did not expect that the ambush [***] could quickly fight back? It takes at least an hour for the main force of the 4th Infantry Brigade to reach the battlefield, and the relatively weak right wing has only two squadrons as defense.

The Japanese army of the motorized march also arrived at the battlefield area only 10 minutes earlier than the 106th Division. The Japanese army did not have time to dig bunkers and fortifications. Almost all the two sides of the battle were lying in the snow and shooting at each other. The fierce attack of the [***] team made the Japanese army Hungry and caught off guard. In the impression of the Japanese army, the Rehe [***] are all troops made of sand at a touch. Not to mention ambush, if they see the imperial army from afar, they will collapse.

But tonight, I am destined to be extremely disappointed, because the 106th Division, which survives in death, fiercely inserted into the ambush position of the Japanese army like a sharp knife. In the fierce short battle, the two infantry squadrons on the right wing of the Japanese army were immediately submerged by the dense flow of Chinese soldiers pouring in from the darkness. The white army's proud assault hardly played a role.

"Forward! Move forward! Brothers, don't stop!" Shen Ke shouted for the officers and soldiers beside him to move forward bravely. They bravely proved that the myth that the Japanese army was invincible was bullshit.

Major General Suzuki Meitong, the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army, constantly mobilized troops to attack the weak flank, but even if he suffered heavy casualties, he still did not want to fight and tenaciously broke through in the direction of Chengde.

In the dark and cold winter night, more than 6,000 officers and soldiers of the 106th Division attacked bravely in the direction of Chengde. After breaking through the two blocking positions of the Japanese army in a row, the good luck of the 106th Division finally came to an end!

The main force of the 36th Division under the command of Michi Takada, the commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade of the 8th Division, whose waist is always not straight, collided with the 106th Division like a torrent. Takada Mimi didn't expect that [***] could break through the block of the 4th Infantry Brigade?

The 106th Division, with strong enemies in front and pursuers, fell into an unprecedented tragedy with the Japanese army in a large wilderness.
