    Chapter 632 Call for reinforcements

    The Japanese troops surrounded by the core position of Jingxingguan suffered heavy casualties under the fierce artillery fire from Feng Jiwu Corps. In more than an hour of shelling, more than half of the more than 20,000 Japanese troops were killed or injured. This was despite not seeing the shadow of the infantry of the ** Division.  Under such circumstances, the Japanese division commander ignored Okamura Neiji's strict instructions to stand firm and issued the order to break out.  -< Piaotian literature registered members recommend this work >-%.net

    This was blatant disobedience to military orders. The division commander knew the consequences of doing so. More than 40,000 troops were lost in his own hands. Even if he did not go to a military court, he did not want to live. The division chief of staff, whose face was covered with blood, led  When he led the few remaining guards to escape the fatal artillery shells and rushed into the division headquarters, the division commander had already committed suicide by caesarean section. He was kneeling in front of the portrait of His Majesty the Emperor, seeming to beg for sin, repent, or perhaps  Blame.

    The Japanese army began to break through. The remaining more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers rushed towards the encirclement of Feng Jiwu's regiment without fear of death. They were knocked down layer by layer by dense bullets, and those behind continued to rush up, beating like crazy.  , given the chance to survive, these Japanese soldiers burst out with unprecedented courage and mobilized two-thirds of the troops. The encirclement was obviously weak. Under the violent impact of the Japanese soldiers who sacrificed their lives, a hole was opened, and the flood burst the embankment.  A large number of Japanese soldiers poured out from this opening.

    After Feng Jiwu received the report, he immediately led the Corps Headquarters Guard Group to arrive. More than two thousand Suomi submachine guns sprayed out tongues of fire, flying sand and rocks, and making the road for the Japanese army to break out airtight. The Japanese army's good luck ended here.  About a thousand people broke out of the encirclement, and the rest were blocked back. Feng Jiwu ordered Wu Kefan of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade to immediately pursue and annihilate the remaining Japanese soldiers who broke out.

    Seeing the artillery showing off its power and the infantry fighting smoothly, the cavalry was running around in a hurry, and their palms were itching. The cavalry was of no use in such a mountainous battle. After receiving the order, the cavalry soldiers were overjoyed. Although  There were a few little devils, but it was better than not catching anything at all. Thousands of war horses raised a puff of smoke and chased the Japanese soldiers who were running for their lives like a giant dragon.

    How could two legs outrun four legs? The wilderness illuminated by the setting sun was full of shining sabers and bloody corpses of Japanese soldiers. After all, the Japanese soldiers were well-trained. When they fled in panic, they did not forget to organize a blocking line.  , the infantry has no danger to rely on against the cavalry, and there is no heavy firepower. The weak resistance is like paper and has no effect.

    The cavalry came up from all sides and surrounded the Japanese soldiers in the middle. There was the sound of horse hooves and the sound of killing, and the swords were inserted into the body. The battle was carried out neatly. Only a dozen Japanese soldiers with fast legs and good health rolled into the ravine and fled.  , be regarded as saving a life, the battle of Jingxing Pass ended successfully. Feng Jiwu and Tang Qiusheng's regiment, at the cost of less than 2,000 casualties, after 11 hours of fierce fighting, wiped out more than 40,000 Japanese troops guarding Jingxing Pass.  The top commander of the Japanese army committed suicide.

    The sun was setting, the sky was full of sunset, and the west wind was blowing strong. Feng Jiwu boarded the Jingxing Pass where the smoke had not yet cleared. There were mutilated corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere. There were craters all over the ground. The smell of blood was pungent. Feng Jiwu's eyes narrowed.  Gao'er used a heavy army group to attack the weakly defended Jingxing Pass. Such a victory was expected. What impressed him was the division commander's clever move of keeping the two corps stationary around Niangzi Pass.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Taihang Mountains base area is empty, and whether it¡¯s a waste to deploy troops like this?

    Later, the division commander ordered the two corps to jointly attack Jingxing Pass, but he did not agree with it. Just one corps was enough. Now it seems that the division commander has already made plans. If Okamura Neiji all returns to the Pingjin area, they can capture Jingxing Pass.  , the goal of annihilating the effective Japanese army has been achieved. If Okamura Neji continues to implement the original plan and does not return troops from the Taihang Mountains, he will take advantage of the opportunity to capture Shijiazhuang, threaten Peiping, and attack the Japanese reinforcements.

    The division commander's battle plan was linked to each other. His previous thoughts were too superficial. Thinking of this, Feng Jiwu laughed at himself, stood up and ordered the troops to clean the battlefield and leave nothing behind. Logistics Minister Zhang Quan said  Lao Jie'er has already complained to the commanders of each corps. When the war started, he was consuming ammunition and didn't know the difficulties of the logistics department.

    Let's just talk about the Battle of Jingxingguan. Zhou Yushan of the Transportation Command sent hundreds of trucks and ran for five or six days to prepare all the needed supplies and ammunition. If this continues, the Logistics Department's little wealth will be wiped out.  Empty, thinking of this, Feng Jiwu ordered the Communications Department to immediately send a telegram to the Logistics Department and send transportation troops to dig Jingxing Pass to receive the seized materials.

    It was already dark, and the artillery fire at Jingxing Pass had just subsided. The troops led by Zhang Hansheng, chief of staff of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, exchanged fire with the Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Datong on the lines of Fuping and Pingyang. The plains were long and lacked two  Reinforcements from two Japanese divisions with a regiment strength rushed over in cars.

    ?In the night, strings of car lights flashed in the night sky like ghostly eyes. The Japanese reinforcements were sitting in the cars. The bored Japanese soldiers suddenly discovered that there were bursts of fire in the dark wilderness in front of them.  Hearing a loud rumbling sound, bright points like meteors flew in the sky, and then hit their heads hard. The Japanese soldiers hit the iron plate and were hit by artillery shells first.  A regiment left behind hundreds of corpses and retreated in panic. The Japanese division commander in charge was afraid that the Chinese army had already been prepared and was waiting for him here.

    After listening carefully, I feel a lot more at ease. Judging from the sound of the artillery, the Chinese army that blocked me used light artillery. They must have arrived in a hurry and established a blocking position in a hurry. Well, let the imperial army's heavy artillery  , to teach the Chinese soldiers a lesson. As an experienced senior Japanese commander, his judgment was completely correct.

    He quickly ordered all the troops to get off the vehicle, and the artillery regiment immediately organized artillery bombardment to open the way for the troops to advance. The Japanese artillery was well-trained and built a field artillery position in a very short period of time. The coordinates of the Chinese army's artillery position were sent back from the front.  Then, a string of artillery shells, trailing dark red tail flames, hit the blocking position of the ** division troops. The fire flashed, shrapnel flew horizontally, and gunpowder smoke enveloped the night sky.

    Zhang Hansheng, formerly the commander of the 6th Brigade of the ** Division, was born in a field army and knew how to fight this kind of battle. He was very experienced in the allocation of various firepower. The first ones he attacked the Japanese troops were some Type 92  Light artillery such as infantry artillery and mortars were deployed 500 meters in front of the blocking position, taking advantage of their numerical advantage to catch the Japanese army off guard. Let¡¯s talk about it first. The heavy artillery was deployed behind the position, and the Japanese artillery did not show up.  Son, his own large-caliber artillery did not speak either.

    After firing a few rounds of artillery shells, while the Japanese army was hit by a sap and had no chance to recover, these light artillery quickly withdrew to the rear of the position, which was the home of the ** division. Only Zhang Hansheng could do this. If this  When the Japanese infantry attacked, they would find that the original artillery of the ** squadron had disappeared. The Japanese artillery shells all hit the deserted wilderness, filling the sky with dust and gunpowder smoke.

    The soldiers lying on the blocking position watched the lively Japanese artillery fire. They covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Our new chief of staff beat the little Japs twice and consumed their artillery shells. There were soldiers who were familiar with Zhang Hansheng.  He immediately picked up the conversation and said, that's quite wrong. Our Chief of Staff Zhang was originally the brigade commander of the main field brigade, directly under the command of the division commander, and Chief of Staff Han who was transferred was also the brigade commander of the main force brigade under the direct command of the division commander.  In the face of the Japanese artillery fire, the soldiers were still so leisurely. Countless victories have given all the soldiers confidence in victory against the Japanese army and Japanese soldiers. What kind of "Japanese phobia" has existed in history?  There is no market at all in the various units of the *** Division.

    Taking stock, it is true as the soldiers said, the chief officers and even the chiefs of staff of the ** division's corps were all from Tang Qiuli's team. Those veteran brigades, who were keeping an eye on the Japanese army, Zhang Hansheng, had no idea.  He has become the protagonist of the discussion among the soldiers. The Japanese bombardment stopped, and Zhang Hansheng ordered the heavy artillery troops to prepare for the bombardment.

    The Japanese infantry launched an attack, and there were bursts of shouts in Japanese. With a sneer on his lips, Zhang Hansheng grabbed the phone and ordered: "Heavy artillery destroys the Japanese artillery positions, and the front lines open fire immediately." The busy Japanese artillerymen, covered in sweat, were breathing heavily.  , in this shelling just now, at least several thousand shells hit the heads of the Chinese soldiers. The heavy artillery of the Imperial Japanese Army was so powerful.

    Pride or self-confidence is understandable, but reality often shatters blind self-confidence. The captain of the Japanese artillery unit opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at the bolide flying in the sky and blinked to the top of his head.  They are all experts and are no strangers to artillery. It was a salvo of at least more than a hundred large-caliber artillery, twice as many as the heavy artillery of our entire regiment. Damn the Chinese army, we were fooled.

    "Artillery attack and evacuation" the captain of the Japanese artillery regiment almost shouted at the top of his lungs. However, he was able to shout these four words. A large-caliber artillery shell crashed down beside him, hitting him almost directly. This colonel, your Excellency, became  He turned into a cloud of blood mist and returned to dust, taking with him a few officers around him.

    The Japanese heavy artillery regiment headquarters was killed with one shot. The remaining Japanese artillerymen endured hellish sufferings. The heavy artillery required six mules and horses to drag, and usually one soldier in a gun position even rotated the cannon.  The body is in difficulty, and evacuation is just an empty talk. The commander's order can only be carried out by soldiers with two legs.

    The legs were too fast to outrun the artillery shells. The Japanese artillery position was blown into flames in several rounds of salvos. The heavy artillery was turned into parts and the artillery became corpses. The attacking infantry did not take advantage of it and was beaten by the dense rain of bullets.  Back home, the Japanese division commander ordered the troops to stop the attack in shock. The artillery positions were destroyed and there was no cover for artillery fire.Fighting at night, he was not sure whether he could break through the blocking position of the Chinese army. He had to face reality.
