Chapter 83 Lonely Reinforcement

"So the strength of the new first division in Chengde is no more than 14,000 at most? Is the artillery just one battalion? Koiso Kunizhao frowned and asked.

Ningci Okamura nodded very seriously and said, "According to the Tianjin secret service, the establishment of the new first division is about 13,000 people. Its establishment is not the normal German army's division of the third brigade, but the division's jurisdiction of the third regiment. In addition, there is a mechanized regiment, with about 100 automatic vehicles and more than 50 battles. The number of combatants of the armored vehicle is about 10,000. It can be said that this force has not completed the specific reorganization.

Ningji Okamura paused slightly and continued, "As for the fact that the artillery of the other party has a regiment, it is basically nonsense. How many 75 mm artillery are there in the Northeast Army? How much does Nanjing Zheng Axe buy every year? How can dozens of cannons come out of thin air? According to its establishment, up to one artillery battalion has twelve L22 Bofors Mountain guns, and most of the rest are mortars. Maybe they were scared by the other party and shirked their responsibility!"

After saying that, Ningji Okamura looked at Muto Nobuyoshi meaningfully. Koiso Kuniaki, who stood aside, also fell into meditation and then said, "Mr. Okamura's analysis has a certain reason, but we should also realize that Zhang Xuewu is very good at defense, and the more than 1,000 remnants of troops he commanded can be in Fengtian Peking University. The battalion relied on the broken wall and the fortifications to resist Duomen Erlang, which made me lose the face of the imperial army of the empire. It is definitely a very difficult guy to deal with!"

Muto Xinyi paced back and forth around the Rehe sand table for a few weeks and then took a deep breath and said, "We now have two choices. The first is to encircle and rescue. The new first division is the central army of Nanjing Zheng Axe. If you attack it, you will be saved, but if you don't cross the front line of the Great Wall to reinforce, we will be equal to It gave [***] time to mobilze troops to gather and defend, and at that time, they are bound to pay heavy casualties in the attack on the Great Wall. The second is to quickly attack Chengde, concentrate troops along the mouths of the Great Wall at the same time, and defeat the [***] defenders, forming a trend of encirclement of Beiping. The negotiation with the Chinese will be much better when the soldiers come to the city.

Koiso Guozhao glanced at Okamura Ningci beside him and said, "Our material reserves can only last for less than three months. Of course, it is best if we can fight quickly, and the army province does not want to turn the Battle of Rehe into a full-scale war with China. We are far from ready now. Manchukuo It also needs to be strengthened by public security. Pingjin is an area where British and American interests are concentrated. Once we attract the interference of European and American forces, we will fall into passivity.

Muto Nobuyoshi nodded and said, "Then it's decided to attack Chengde with all my strength and annihire the new first division of the garrison in [***]! Banben Zhengyouweimen and Xiyi are both lieutenant generals, and their seniority is similar. Is it necessary to send a command to take the responsibility of unified coordination?

As soon as Kuniaki Koiso heard what Muto Nobuyoshi said, he knew that this was Muto Nobuyoshi giving Okamura Ningji a chance, and he suddenly felt sad. He was the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, not Okamura Ningji! Koiso Kunizhao smiled and said, "The two division commanders of Banben Zhengyouweimen and Xiyiyi are the commanders of the left and right wings respectively. It is naturally good to coordinate and command, but Chengde only has the defense of one division in the middle [***]. Our army has a total of five divisions and two reading mixed brigades to attack the front line of the Great Wall, and The technical arms and special forces assigned to the Iron Armored Vehicle Wing, five chariot brigades, heavy artillery brigades and other technical arms and special forces have reached 150,000. They have captured Chengde, the last turbulwarrich between the Rehe River and the Great Wall. The left and right wings commanded by the two division commanders still have to read their strength to fight. As superiors, we should trust their ability.

Muto Nobuyoshi hesitated for a moment and smiled, "It's just a little Chengde!"

On the evening of March 3rd, he received a telegram from Zhang Xueliang to Shen Ke, who was cold and fasting. Shen Ke, who was not tall and slightly thin, stood in the wind and snow and squeezed the telegram tightly in his hand. His whole body had become numb and lost his sense. After several calls from the adjutant beside him, Shen Ke recovered.

Shen Ke is very clear that the 32nd Army of Shang Zhen's headquarters, the 29th Army of Song Zheyuan's headquarters, the 59th Army of Fu Zuoyi's headquarters, the 67th Army of Yu Xuezhong's headquarters, and the headquarters of He Zhuguo are all in the Gubeikou, Lengkou, Xifengkou and other Great Wall passes to replace the defeated Tang Yulin and Wanfulin's troops. Once Chengde has a loss. The army is bound to attack the various passages of the Great Wall. These passages are dangerous and difficult to attack. Once lost, it is difficult to recapture them. More importantly, these passages are followed by the Great Plain of North China, and there is no danger to defend!

Shen Ke knows very well that only his 106th division can attack at this moment, and the rest of the troops will arrive one after another after the 5th. On this way, the reinforcements are all the defeated troops of Tang and Wanbu. The enemies who surrounded Chengde and reinforced Chengde one after another are at least four or more than 100,000 people. I'm afraid I can't even see a spray when more than 6,000 people fill it in!

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Ke immediately came to the officers above the battalion to hold a temporary emergency meeting. In a sheltered mountain, Shen Ke raised the telegram in his hand: "Chengde's new first division is in danger. Shangfeng ordered our department to take the lead in counterattack and support Chengde!"

Originally, the order received was to defend, but now it has become an attack and rescue. The officers of the 106th Division look very ugly. Everyone understands that this is a typical fuel-adding tactic, let them fight for the main force to buy time, or disrupt the established deployment of the Japanese army, or more simply, let them feed the wolves!

Seeing that his subordinates were not angry, Shen Ke folded the telegram and put it in his pocket. He took out a letter and shook the letter and read it loudly, "Haiguang, my son, my beloved wife Mo Nian. I have been serving the country and the nation since the army. Now it is said that Dongying Japanese invaders offend my home, killed my parents and brothers, and humiliate my sisters. Who can bear it? Up and fighting back, Qingshan buried loyal bones everywhere, just to resist the external humiliation of the national country. After Yu Chengren, my beloved wife should educate my son to be benevolent and inherit my father's business! The lintel of glory!"

The people present in the roaring wind really heard it. Shen Keyi raised the envelope and said, "I am determined to fight to the death as a soldier. My generation of soldiers have been blamed twice since the Shenyang Incident. Now it is a shame to show my iron bones. Is it good to invite you to be benevolence with me?"

Shen Keping said that the imperial army was rigorous and did not deduct military pay, so his reputation was very high. Since he risked his life, everyone present took out paper and pen and simply wrote down the suicide note and gave it to the key department for transfer to the rear.

Shen Ke waved his hand and said, "Speave my order, the staff, the secret electricity room and the logistics department to stay and retreat. The whole division will speed up the march, run forward, and attack Chengde!"

The flag of the 106th Division of the National Revolutionary Army looked so weak in the wind and snow, as if it would be crushed by the wind and snow at any time, but the flag persisted tenaciously. There were a total of 6, 157 combatants in the troops directly under the third regiment of the division and the division, and all the guns were only 17 of calibers. Mortars, 52 light and heavy machine guns.

The civilian personnel left behind did not have orthodontics, because they knew their own value very well, and raised their right hand in the wind and snow to make the last military salute.

The officers and soldiers of the 106th Division know very well that this is not a war at all, but to die! Be benevolent for the country! Magnificent for thousands of years!
