Chapter 91 The Longest Night 7
A telegram from Zhang Xuewu made the national political officers of Beiping and Nanjing doomed to sleepless tonight. Chiang Kai-shek, who had been sleepless for two or three days, stood in front of the map of the study in thick velvet pajamas and thought hard. He sent telegrams three times in a row to inquire about the progress of the 17th Army. In the name of the First Military Commission, he asked the 17th Army to The main force of all three divisions quickly got closer to Chengde, relying on the front line of the Great Wall to take over the new first division.
Compared with the uneasy Chiang Kai-shek, Zhang Xueliang seems to be roasting on the fire at this moment. Zhang Xuecheng, whom he personally ordered to be executed, has been talked about. Fortunately, Zhang Xuecheng, as a Han Dynasty, was willing to be driven by the Japanese bandit, and killing him was full of righteous indignation for the Chinese people. However, now the division of cousin Zhang Xuewu is surrounded by more than 40,000 people in the lonely city of Chengde by two divisions of the Japanese army. In the past two days, Zhang Xueliang can be said to have a hard time sleeping and eating!
It is said that the military industry has completed the encirclement. Tactically, I'm afraid that the new first division is difficult to fly with wings. Is it waiting for help? Zhang Xueliang smiled bitterly. According to the current situation, it will take at least 20 days for him to mobilt enough troops to support Chengde, but can his cousin continue to learn martial arts for 20 days? If Chengde is lost, then he can only apologize to the Chinese people with gloom. At present, He Yingqin, Song Ziwen and others are all in Beiping City. I'm afraid these people are the people sent by Jiang Gong to clean up the mess for himself, right?
"Where did Shen Ke's 106th Division go?" In the face of Zhang Xueliang's inquiry, Huang Jingming, deputy director of the combat room, was stunned and hesitated for a moment: "The 106th Division is on the way to the emergency march, and the radio station has not been turned on!"
Zhang Xueliang frowned slightly and said, "Call every five minutes, come on! I want to get in touch with the 106th Division, hoping that they can effectively contain the Japanese army and reduce the defensive pressure of Chengde.
After Huang Jingming left, Zhang Xueliang stood in front of the window and looked at his watch. It was almost five o'clock, which meant that the new first division of the Chengde garrison had been fighting all night. No! I must give Zhang Xuewu some practical support!
Air Force! My own air force! Zhang Xueliang, who suddenly recovered, immediately picked up the phone. Now among the 317 aircraft belonging to the Northeast Army at the airports of Beiping Nanyuan, Xijiao and Dongling, there are 87 destroyers and 26 light bombers that can be immediately put into battle.
The shrill alarm sounded at various airports near Peiping. The preparers were doing a final inspection of the plane, and all the rest of the personnel were cleaning up the snow on the runway. In the pilot's dormitory, He Changhui, the chief instructor of the Northeast Army Air Force, patted Gao Zhihang's shoulder with a heroic eye and big eye, "Zhihang, This is the first time that our Northeast Air Force has taken the initiative to attack and fight fiercely since the Shenyang Incident! Cover the air explosive aircraft to bomb the military artillery group and reduce the pressure on the defenders.
Gao Zhihang nodded and saluted He Changhui, "Please rest assured, the sky belongs to us!"
Since Gao Zhihang returned to China from France in 1927, he served as a major member of the Flying Eagle Team of the Northeast Aviation Department of Zhang Xueliang's Department, and then served as a major instructor of the Northeast Aviation Education Class. On the night of the Shenyang Incident, he flew to Jinzhou under the cover of the 7th Brigade. After that, he turned to Beiping. Gao Zhihang's heart was full of evil. The defeat of the war made them proud people in the air sit and watch the mountains and rivers fall. They could only cry. Gao Zhihang and a group of pilots asked to fight many times, but Zhang Xueliang refused and ordered the Flying Eagles to defend Beiping air defense.
I didn't expect the battle order to be issued so suddenly today? Gao Zhihang faintly heard that during the Shenyang Incident, the new First Division, adapted by the 7th Brigade of the Japanese Army, was besieged in Chengde by heavy troops of the Japanese Army. Gao Zhihang inhaled a cold air that was cold to his lungs, stretched his leather gloves, and stretched his muscles and bones! A feeling of ambition arises spontaneously. I hope I can meet the little devil's plane today! Li Guidan and Liu Cuigang are also in the same mood as Gao Zhihang!
If Zhang Xuewu knew that the air force pilots who were about to take off to support him, the four King Kongs of the Air Force of the Republic of China would have three at a time? I don't know how you will feel? This is how the largest fleet of the Chinese Air Force was born!
Of course, Zhang Xueliang could not watch the destruction of the new First Division. In addition, he was really reluctant to give up these expensive planes and train difficult pilots, so he sent all the fighters out at once with the idea that there were too many people and not to lose.
At 5 a.m., the Japanese army finally steadily occupied the first position of the front line of the tiger ditch garrison, and once broke into the second line of defense several times. The 14th division of the Japanese army quietly hid into the darkness like a wounded beast and licked the wound. The offensive that lasted for one night finally came to an end, but Xu Guohui and He did not relax his vigilance, because he knew very well that this was the Japanese army accumulating strength and was ready to give himself the last blow! Xu Guohui, who was injured in two places, gasped. Just an hour ago, when his second-line position was in danger by the Japanese army, Wang Chuang pulled out a strengthening camp from the position and threw it into the tiger ditch position, thus driving the Japanese army down again.
And the army built all the bodies of the two soldiers killed in battle to the other end of the trench, forming a chest! Thus, it firmly occupied the first line of defense.
Sure enough, as Xu Guohui judged, Songmu Zhiliang, the commander of the angry 14th Division, personally arrived at the front line to supervise the battle, merged the remnants, and prepared to break through the enemy's defense line after dawn.
However, it is obvious that Songmu Zhiliang made a very serious mistake. He ignored the morale of the army again and again and again, and attacked the Chinese garrison's position with an uninterrupted offensive at all costs overnight. Although the huge casualties caused to the garrison, the Japanese army also abandoned the body.
For this sake, even Xu Guohui, who has been trying to have an immoral relationship with the female members of the emperor's family, is very convinced. The elite and bravery of the army are really not fucking blown. The interval between continuous attacks has never exceeded 15 minutes? What does this mean? This means that the speed of the Japanese army's attack and coordinated troops is beyond the reach of the new first division. If it is in the field, if it is the previous 7th brigade, Xu Guohui believes that the 8,000 horses of the 7th brigade may not be able to hold on for 40 minutes!
Zhang Xuewu looked at his watch and nodded to Huang Tao, who was holding the phone beside him. Huang Tao shouted angrily, "Order! Fight back!"
After Tang Ziqiang put down the phone, he jumped on the chariot and waved his hand, and then drilled into the turret. Zhang Tianpeng's artillery regiment launched the first gun of the counterattack. The dense rain began to extend from the front coordinate area to the depth of the Japanese army. Before the panicked Japanese soldiers could react, the roar of the tank engine and the rolling belt. Pieces of mud crawlers appeared in front of them.
The chariot of [***]? The chariot of [***]! With the inrush of a large number of infantry, the Japanese soldiers who also lacked effective anti-tank weapons inevitably fell into collapse.
Brothers, go! Kill me! Xu Guohui, who jumped and jumped, didn't wait to rush out of the trench. He was dragged back by several guards and pressed him in the trench. He was so angry that he screamed.
Large-scale chaos occurred under the pursuit of Chinese soldiers. Some troops that could have maintained the establishment and were ready to resist were also dispersed by the defeated soldiers. More and more Japanese soldiers joined the defeated soldiers in panic and blindly.
