    Chapter 653 Okamura Neji¡¯s secret weapon

    Okamura Neiji tightly surrounded Huangyadong, but did not take action. The Battle of Guanshan began. Under the strict orders of Okamura Neiji, the Japanese army forced Feng Jiwu to attack Feng Jiwu, regardless of fatigue and the soldiers' combat effectiveness and physical strength.  The troops launched an attack on their Guanshan position. I don¡¯t know whether it was out of arrogance or because the Japanese army, which was mainly composed of the Kwantung Army, did not pay attention to the Chinese ** team at all.  Under cover, they launched an attack on Feng Jiwu's 80,000-man regiment.

    The attack with eggs against rocks sealed the fate of the Japanese army. Feng Jiwu's troops did not blink an eye and swallowed the fat in one gulp. After inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese vanguard, Feng Jiwu ordered an all-out attack. This was a risk.  However, it was a highly successful decision, with superior troops and firepower, waiting for work, and new victories. The Japanese follow-up troops would have time to launch in the future. All the favorable conditions were on Feng Jiwu's side. If the Japanese army could gain a firm foothold,  Eighty thousand versus sixty thousand could only be a confrontation, and he did not want it to turn into a protracted positional battle.

    The order was issued, and more than 80,000 soldiers swept away like a violent wave, hitting more than 60,000 Japanese troops head-on, splashing blood all over the sky.  Fighting broke out in the front, with loud gunshots, booming artillery, gunpowder smoke covering the sun, and shouts of killing. The fighting lasted all day long. The Japanese army abandoned thousands of corpses and was pushed back for more than 30 kilometers. They withdrew from Jiedu and reached the Leping line, where they defended Heshun.  .

    Heshun is a larger town between Licheng and Yangquan, with about a few thousand residents. It is surrounded by ancient city walls. The bed of the long-dried moat is covered with luxuriant wormwood, and it is full of desolation and desolation.  But at this time, the city was deserted and it was like a ghost land. There were only hundreds of homeless wild dogs, barking wildly to welcome the tired Japanese soldiers who were almost vomiting blood. Seeing the arrival of these similar people, their eyes were so hungry.  The wild dogs, which glowed green, bared their teeth and pounced on the Japanese soldiers. What greeted the wild dogs were dense bullets, but they brought long-lost meat to the Japanese soldiers.

    The Japanese army, with less than 60,000 troops, retreated into Heshun. They did not dare to retreat anymore. Commander Okamura Neiji's order was to attack, but being repelled by the Chinese army was already a huge loss of face. It was so prestigious.  When had the Kwantung Army suffered such a heavy loss? Before the battle even started, they lost two field regiments as a whole and thousands of people in pieces. They used Heshun as a base for another attack.

    Feng Jiwu commanded the troops and almost drove them to the gate of Heshun City. Thousands of Japanese rearguards who had not yet had time to enter the city were swept away by the vanguard of Feng Jiwu's troops. More than half of them were lost and fled in with their armor removed.  In the city, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and 38-guns started firing wildly, forming an airtight web of fire.

    Feng Jiwu immediately ordered the troops to stop the siege and surrounded Heshun from all sides. In such a tough battle, there was no guarantee that Feng Jiwu would make such a stupid mistake. He had enough patience to fight the little devils and surrounded Heshun.  With a large number of Japanese troops, Okamura Neiji could not remain indifferent. As long as he mobilized troops for rescue, he would have made his due contribution to reducing the pressure in the direction of Huangyadong.

    He was secretly glad that the Japanese army did not confront him in the wild. In that case, the next battle would be difficult to fight. The Japanese commander was also secretly glad that the troops did not suffer too much losses and could rely on the peaceful and favorable geographical location.  Hold on, though, and he'll soon regret his decision so hard that he'll hit the wall.

    Heshun City is extremely spacious. There are countless empty houses for you to choose from. It can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The wells have been re-excavated. The soldiers can drink cool well water. Heating is not a problem. The emperor  The soldiers used their ingenuity and used everything that could be burned. The camping room was as warm as spring. The most important thing was food. The entire Japanese army only prepared enough for five days before starting to attack Guanshan.  of giving.

    A huge empty city with more than 50,000 mouths and five days of food. Outside the city was the Chinese army as far as the eye could see. The Japanese commander had a splitting headache and kept cursing "stupid pigs and idiots plus Baga".  He didn't know whether he was scolding his staff or himself, but he would never admit that he made a mistake in command. He did not establish a blocking position outside the city, and now he was trapped in the isolated city. He also never admitted that he was frightened and confused at the time. He only saw the thick  The city wall did not think about the food in hand.

    He had no choice but to bite the bullet, with an insulted fragile heart, and sent a request for help telegram to Commander Okamura Neiji who was far away in Huangyadong in the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains. He truthfully reported the difficulties faced by the troops and remained peaceful for many days.  There is no problem, as long as there is enough food and supplies, he believes in the bravery of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army.

    However, what is lacking now is food and supplies. It¡¯s not that he has never thought of breaking out. The commander¡¯s order is to attack Niangziguan and Taiyuan. Breaking out is another way of attack. Facing the encirclement of the superior strength of the Chinese army,The siege without external aid was tantamount to suicide. He had only one request in the telegram, which was to send reinforcements or give him food. The soldiers of the Chinese army outside the city had built a large number of positions in a short period of time. I am afraid that the city  As soon as the door opened, what came face to face was the intensive firepower of the Chinese army.

    Okamura Neiji sent a telegram back, ordering him to stay in Heshun for at least five days. Within five days, the situation will definitely change in favor of the imperial army. The Japanese commander held his head in his hands, and he could not guess the calabash of the commander.  What kind of medicine is being sold here? Five days. After five days, I have to drink the northwest wind. There is no need to fight. The Chinese soldiers will go into the city to collect the corpses.

    Not only the Japanese commander who retreated peacefully did not understand, but also the entire North China Expeditionary Force did not understand why the commander concentrated all the main assault forces in this barren land in the Taihang Mountains and allowed the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli to  , hundreds of thousands of imperial troops are fighting in Shijiazhuang, and there is a vague tendency to threaten Peiping and Tianjin.

    The senior generals of the Japanese army have quite a few complaints in their hearts. The Taihang Mountains fascinate the commander, while the smaller Huangyadong area drives the commander crazy. In a place as big as a palm, more than 200,000 troops have been gathered, just for one.  This insignificant cave, the new commander's way of using troops is really confusing. What on earth does he want to do if Shijiazhuang and Heshun are not rescued?  To say that the Commander is unfathomable is better to say that he is paranoid. For the sake of Huangya Cave, he actually ignored the interests of the Japanese Empire in North China.

    All the senior Japanese commanders did not understand Okamura Neiji's good intentions. Huangya Cave must be captured. This is absolutely unchangeable. It would be unavoidable to use so many troops just for a small Huangya Cave.  He too underestimated Okamura Neiji. The 240,000 troops actually used to attack Huangyadong were only 60,000. The rest of the troops, Okamura Neiji had already arranged for all the troops entering the Huangyadong area.  On the inevitable road, a large net was cast, waiting for Tang Qiuli's reinforcements to arrive.

    Okamura Neiji didn't believe it. Tang Qiuli looked at his supply base and was surrounded by heavy troops. He didn't worry and took action. The fate of tens of thousands of soldiers was enough to make the China devil Tang Qiuli turn all his attention to  Come here. In China's military books, there is a saying about encircling a point for reinforcements. Huangyadong is the bait, and the ambushing troops from all directions are the fishing hooks. Tang Qiuli's troops will be eliminated as soon as they come.

    Okamura Neji didn't take action for a long time just to observe Tang Qiuli's reaction and give him time to deploy his troops. Also, from the failure of the nearby Ryuichi brigade, Okamura Neji understood a truth.  Yadong relied on the difficult terrain and solid defenses. No matter how many troops he had, it was impossible to break through the defense system of the army. He was waiting for a secret weapon. With him, no matter how hard the defenses were,  It was difficult to escape the fate of being destroyed, which was another main reason why he delayed taking action.

    Now, the secret weapons have finally been transported to the front line of Huangyadong. After installation, they are just waiting to drink the blood of the Chinese soldiers. Today is a good weather, and we can attack. There is no wind in the morning, and the bright sun rises in the eastern sky.  The breeze brings the breath of early spring. The willow trees on the sunny slopes have bulging spores on their dark red branches. Among the dead grass, a few pieces of new green quietly poke their heads out. The Taihang Mountains in mid-April are already faintly visible.  You can see the attractive spring scenery.

    It was an ordinary good day, but the soldiers who had experienced the first day of the Huangyadong defense battle recalled the scene many years later and said with lingering fear, "The sky is falling and the earth is falling." With this sentence, there was a muffled sound,  The earth trembled, and in the distant sky, there was a scream of an object cutting through the air. The soldiers almost thought it was spring thunder, but the spring thunder was not so dull.

    There was an explosion. A huge cloud of gunpowder smoke, mixed with countless pieces of soil and rock, flew up in the air. The entire core area of ????Huangya Cave trembled violently in the explosion. Before the soldiers could react, the explosion  There were sounds one after another, rocks flew away, trees fell, mountain peaks trembled, and the earth shook.

    Chang Feng slept very late last night. It felt like he had just closed his eyes when he was woken up by the violent shaking of the camp bed. A ball of soil fell on the wall of the cave above his head. Chang Feng got up in a hurry. His first reaction was,  The Japanese army began to attack, and he grabbed the phone to inquire about the situation at the front.  There was only the rustle of electricity in the headphones, without any echo.

    He grabbed the submachine gun and rushed out, and bumped head-on into a staff officer. The staff member was covered in mud and dust, as if he had just climbed out of the trench, "Report to the commander-in-chief, the Japanese army arrived at 6:30 this morning.  A large-scale shelling of our Huangyadong peripheral defense positions has been carried out, and all wired communications to the front have been interrupted. Radio communications are now being initiated, and the details are being verified. "Although the voice of the report was clear, there was a hint of panic.

    Chang Feng looked at his watch. It was 6:45. The Japanese army had been shelling for fifteen minutes, and it was in the outer position. This staff officerChang Feng couldn't help but wonder why he had been at the headquarters and had no mission to go to the front line. Why did it look like he was fighting a fierce battle?
