Chapter 92 The Longest Night 8

The targets of the two mechanized companies commanded by Tang Ziqiang are directly to the artillery positions of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army, but the Renault FT17 tank and the Vernilla armored vehicle are the product of two pairs of narrow tracked wheels, and their adaptation on the snow is very poor! The slow speed made Tang Ziqiang almost anxious.

For the unexpected counterattack of [***], Matsuki Zhiliang was caught off guard. All the troops who had the fighting spirit could not organize decent resistance at all. He knew that the counterattack force of [***] would not be too much, but because the troops were in chaos, it was difficult to control for a while, so he let Xu Guohui's counterattack went smoothly.

In desperation, Songmu Zhiliang had to order the troops to quickly retreat five kilometers and regroup for counterattack. Songmu Zhiliang clearly knew that the depth of the counterattack force of [***] would certainly not be too large, because the main force of the middle [***] was used to defend Chengde. At this moment, Zhang Xuewu learned that the counterattack was good, and Tang Ziqiang's machine The armored company was attacking the position of the military field artillery wing, and patted the table fiercely with joy.

Standing in front of the map, Zhang Xuewu suddenly realized that the large-scale overall retreat of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army seemed to provide him with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through? Is it safe to break out of the encirclement and enter the Great Wall?

Zhang Xuewu knew that he did not make any preparations to break through at this moment, and he was bound to fall into an extremely passive situation. Moreover, the Japanese army added several cavalry brigades for the Rehe Campaign. Each division of the Japanese army also has a cavalry regiment, and two-legged beasts that can run over four legs? Zhang Xuewu is not optimistic about this so-called rare opportunity.

If he leads his troops to really give up Chengde's breakthrough, then he doesn't know whether history will return to the original trajectory. He knows that Chengde's loss also means the complete defeat of the Rehe Battle. Then Zhang Xueliang will definitely go down. Zhang Xueliang's downhilling is a bolt from the blue for him, which means himself. The identity is no longer popular.

If you defend Chengde, once the main force counterattacks, the nearly 200,000 troops of the Japanese army in Rehe will always beware of [***] recovering Shanhaiguan and cutting off his supply line, then naturally North China will not be reduced to the so-called unarmed area, and Zhang Xueliang will not go abroad sadly, as a central army. It is naturally better to rely on Zhang Xueliang to seek development in the northwest of Jin, Suiyuan and Chahar.

In the name of the name of the new first division of the Nanjing Political Axe Central Army, the strength can rely on Zhang Xueliang to help him redevelop the military industry and restore his strength. His strength has also greatly increased. The prospect is undoubtedly very good, but the reality is extremely cruel, that is, he, Zhang Xuewu must pass Chengde Gucheng first. According to this pass.

In the eyes of many people, Zhang Xuewu's solitary city is looking for a dead end, but in Zhang Xuewu's eyes, this is to survive in death! In any case, Zhang Xueliang must not be allowed to leave the field!

The fierce fire in the direction of the tiger ditch has weakened a lot compared with the direction of the side ridge of Majiagou. Major General Yuanbu and Ichiro, the commander of the Eighth Brigade of the Japanese Army, personally arrived at the front to supervise the battle. However, the so-called front of Yuanbu and Ichiro are actually more than ten kilometers away from the attack position. For Yuanbu and Ichiro, safety has become the first. For his principles, Yuanbu and Ichiro did not want to be promoted to lieutenant general in the same way as Hiramatsu Hero.

Yuanbu and Ichiro formulated a very perfect battle plan, which pointed directly to the key point of Zhang Xuewu, especially after the start of the tiger ditch counterattack. However, due to the death of the Hiramatsu hero, the senior officers of the Japanese army subconsciously moved away from the battlefield and commanded by phone. The subordinates fought, and after the fierce battle of the night, the various parts of the Japanese army, who were exhausted, had already lost confidence in the Chinese defenders's positions with fierce attack. Therefore, the seemingly fierce offensive was actually just dealing with the death orders issued by Yuanbu and Ichiro. The thunder was small, and the casualties of the troops were also reduced a lot.

As the top three outstanding students of Lu University, the identity and talent of Yuanbu and Ichiro have always been valued by the staff headquarters, and the most proud work of Yuanbu and Ichiro is the almost perfect staff plan. Listening to the fierce sound of gunfire in the distance, Yuanbu and Ichiro are marked on the map with red and blue pencils with a smile on their faces. He imagined the unfolding of the attacks of various forces.

How did Yuanbu and Ichiro think that the captains of the four infantry regiments under his unified command seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and did not contribute! Not only the Japanese army, but also the military chiefs of many national armies hate those blind staff of the theoretical data school. If there is such a top-heavy commander of the theoretical school, then the complaining subordinates will really want to cry without tears.

For example, the commander of the Yuanbu and Ichiro Brigade believes that as long as [***] fight back in the direction of the tiger ditch, the defense of the side ridge of the Majiagou will be relatively empty, and it does not care about the fatigue of the officers and soldiers, the low morale, the unfavorable terrain and the fierce firepower and tenacious resistance of the enemy.

Just as Yuanbu and Ichiro were proudly calculating that they should break through the first line of defense of the Chinese defenders, the Japanese soldiers, who had exhausted their physical strength, were cold and hungry, were powerless to launch one after another futile attack. Some Japanese officers and soldiers lost consciousness and fell to the ground while walking, and no one even cared about them.

Many officers and soldiers of the new third regiment of the Chinese garrison in the front line have been soaked in cotton-padded clothes by ice and snow at this moment. After the previous hot-blooded struggle, everyone sweated. Under the ice and snow, the cotton-padded clothes soon froze into ice-like armor, and the whole person seemed to be in an ice cave, extremely tired. The officers and soldiers shouted each other's names, biting their lips, and slapped them in the face to remind themselves not to fall asleep, because if they fell asleep in this environment, it would be equivalent to a long sleep.

Zhao Xinyu, the regimental commander, walked deep and shallowly in the trench of the first line of defense, patted the surviving soldiers on the shoulders one by one, said a word of encouragement in everyone's ear, and handed over the kettle to let the officers and soldiers drink a small mouthful of the burning knife sent by the division seat to warm their bodies.

There is no doubt that Zhao Xinyu's behavior has boosted the sluggish morale due to extreme fatigue! Zhao Xinyu has long been aware of the offensive of the Japanese army. In order to prevent the last blow of the Japanese army, Zhao Xinyu divided a battalion of the third line of defense into two parts to strengthen the first and second lines of defense, and to prepare a reserve team to change the defense at seven o'clock to replace the tired front-line defenders. .

At 7:00 a.m. on March 5th, the thick fog had dissipated in the early morning. After the attack, the two mechanized companies and the attacking troops began to retreat one after another. Twenty-one Renault FT17 tank and two of the Vinila armored vehicles were attacked by mechanical failure. It was blown up and abandoned, and four of them were directly hit and destroyed by the Japanese army's mountain artillery. Although it successfully destroyed the 14th field artillery wing of the Japanese army, the attacking force of the relatively heavily guarded wild artillery position of the Japanese army also suffered a lot of casualties.

The green and bloodless pine trees looked straight at the burning chariots and the cannons that had been blown up. There were only the bodies of the imperial soldiers on the ground, and there were no [***] in it? What does this mean? Can [***] take away the body of the same robe who died in the war calmly? An unprecedented sense of humiliation triggered the anger of the pine tree!

"Gain troops!" After Matsuki Zhiliang gave the order viciously, the chief of staff standing behind him, Mr. Shima Tanaka, was stunned. The troops had driven the ducks at this moment, and the officers and soldiers ran everywhere. How to gather and re-edit? The rest of the staff looked helplessly at Shimada, the unlucky man, with a pitiful look.

At this moment, the roar of the plane motor sounded in the clouds in the sky! The pine tree looked up at the sky and nodded, "Youxi! Arrange the air-to-air contact map immediately and indicate the direction of the air explosion (bombing)!"

"Hi!" Shimada hurriedly sang his legs to carry out the order of the division commander, and the rest of the staff immediately looked at Shimada, the lucky guy with jealous eyes!
