Unparalleled Warriors of Anti-Japanese War

As for our artillery units, they are always ready for bombardment.Once the reconnaissance troops found out where the artillery positions the little devils set up in the city were, they immediately carried out shelling, destroying their artillery units first. "

'Yes, Commander! '

With the deployment of a large number of sniper rifles, a group of sharpshooters with accurate marksmanship has also emerged from the grassroots units of each legion.During the battle, these sharpshooters are also a sharp knife unit that defeats the enemy and wins.

Now that the little devil is planning to defend Shijiazhuang City to the death, Commander Lin feels that it is very necessary to serve the little devil with a few side dishes to warm up the battle.At least let the little devil know, don't show your face at will, or you will die!

When the Eighth Route Army outside the city began to deploy the next offensive in full swing, the Japanese army retreating in the city also seized the time to build fortifications.For the defenders in the city, they also knew that the next battle would be very unfavorable to them.

The Japanese defenders in the city, who listened to reports from time to time, also seemed a little worried about the encirclement by the Eighth Route Army on three sides.But what he was most worried about was whether the main force that had evacuated Shijiazhuang earlier would safely retreat to the rear at this moment.

I just sent a few telegrams to the main force, and the rewards I got were that they were blocking and retreating.He also knew that the sudden appearance of the Eighth Route Army Air Force this time really caught them by surprise.

It was too late to return to the city, and the Eighth Route Army pursued and beat them back when they retreated.Such a result really made many Japanese commanders feel very aggrieved.As for ordinary soldiers, their morale has also suffered a lot!

'How about it?Has the Eighth Route Army outside the city made any moves? '

'General, we haven't noticed any movement from the Eighth Route Army yet.However, there seemed to be reconnaissance units of the Eighth Route Army active in the city.Several of our patrol teams were attacked by unknown persons last night.

For the sake of safety, I think it is necessary to find out these people and clean them up.Otherwise, our defense situation in the city may be known in advance by the Eighth Route Army.It is very unfavorable for the next battle! '

The city guard who heard the news also nodded and said: "This suggestion is very correct! Send another infantry brigade to join the patrol in the city. Be sure to find the reconnaissance troops of the Eighth Route Army in the shortest possible time.

In addition, each brigade will carry out the defensive tasks I deployed earlier, and if there is nothing to do, try to come to the headquarters as little as possible.If there is any situation, it will be reported by telephone and telegram. "

Knowing that the Eighth Route Army is also good at beheading operations, the Japanese defender was also worried that his command post would be found by the Eighth Route Army.For this reason, before the defensive operations, the infantry brigades were assigned defensive combat tasks.

In this way, he can hide in this underground command room and remotely command the defenders in the city.But if it's a big city, how easy is it to find the Eighth Route Army scouts who have sneaked in and are familiar with the city?

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As the 115th Division has completed the encirclement of Shijiazhuang, it is not eager to launch a full-scale attack.Boss Zhu, who sits in Xibaipo, didn't make any urging on this.He knew that he had to trust the commanders of the troops on the front line.

Not long after, he received a war report from the 115th Division, and Boss Zhu planned to stick to the little devils in Shijiazhuang City.I also know that these little devils really need to be careful if they want to fight to the death.

As the saying goes, 'rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry', let alone these elite little devils.If you really want to launch a full-scale attack, the little devil who has the advantages of city defense and ammunition is really hard to deal with.

Even with the current strength and weaponry of the 115th Division, there should be no problem in taking Shijiazhuang.But if there are too many casualties during the attack, it will also be a huge loss to the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, the 115th Division decided to conduct pre-war reconnaissance first, and then make corresponding offensive deployment adjustments. In Mr. Zhu's view, it is also a wise choice.But this time, the support of the Eighth Route Army Air Force is also needed.

In view of this situation, Boss Zhu also said in a timely manner: "Old Zuo, send a telegram to the Third Air Force Brigade, asking them to send a few bombers and fighter jets to help in the battle tomorrow. I'm afraid they will have a hard time during this period!"

'Boss, for such a combat mission, I think they should be very happy.Most of the pilots of the third brigade were the first batch of pilots trained by us, and many of them participated in the Yan'an raid and defense battle.

For them, in addition to learning to fight against the little devil's plane, it is also one of their tasks to cooperate with ground troops.I believe they will be very happy to have such an actual combat opportunity. '

Listening to Chief of Staff Zuo Quan's report, Boss Zhu also smiled and said: "Yes! In the past two days, our air force has indeed made a good start. In the past two days, the deputy head of state sent a telegram saying that many foreign devils are right. Interested in our flight too!

Speaking of which, this is the first aircraft independently developed by us, and it really surprises me to have such performance.Now it seems that Xiao He is not only good at war, but also good at researching weapons! "

After complimenting He Zhengdao with a smile, Boss Zhu was also very satisfied with having such a subordinate.In his view, the emergence of the Eighth Route Army Air Force has achieved a truly blockbuster effect.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army headquarters and Yan'an, I am very satisfied with the two days of fighting.At the moment, the North China Front Army Command in Beiping is very anxious and uneasy about the two-day battle situation.

Looking at the battle report sent back from the front line, Okamura Ningji said very dissatisfied: "Baga! How did Kimura Chuichi command it? How could the casualties of the troops be so large in just two days? Why did you lose such an army?" How much defense do you need?"

Kimura Nakaichi was the commander sent by Okamura Ningji to the front line of Shijiazhuang.Earlier Kimura Nakaichi chose to abandon Shijiazhuang and lead the main force to withdraw early. Okamura Ningji felt that it was a wise decision.

But the intelligence of these two days made Neiji Okamura very dissatisfied.The reason was that he hoped that the troops brought back from Kimura would suffer casualties in the process of retreating all the way.

What's more, the successive retreat of the main force also brought a severe setback to the morale of the defenders along the way.So much so that the pursuing Eighth Route Army basically chased after them, constantly recovering the lost ground occupied by the Japanese army earlier.

Facing Neiji Okamura's dissatisfaction, the intelligence staff officer also said in a timely manner: "Your Excellency Commander, I think General Kimura is really powerless. The current battle situation is very unfavorable to us, especially because we have temporarily lost air supremacy.

In the past two days, the air force of the Eighth Route Army has been frequently dispatched, except for the constant bombing of our defensive positions.Our retreating troops along the way also could not escape their reconnaissance, so that the troops were frequently blocked by eight routes.

Including the Eighth Route Army troops chasing them, the number reached more than [-].These eight routes, led by local guerrilla forces, caused a lot of trouble for our retreating troops.After all, we must regain air supremacy as soon as possible! "

'Any news from the Navy? '

'The fleet coming from Kyushu Island is believed to arrive at Tianyan Port tomorrow night. '

Neiji Okamura was also slightly relieved when he heard that the supporting naval air force would be able to arrive at Tianyan Port tomorrow night.But he continued to ask: "How many fighter planes have the navy sent to reinforce this time?"

'There should be nearly two hundred fighters!In addition to the fighter planes that ensure the safety of the fleet, there should be at least a hundred of them in combat.In addition, the Kwantung Army also decided to send an aviation team for reinforcements. '

'In this way, we will have more than 200 fighter planes to participate in the encirclement and suppression battle? '

'Yes, Your Excellency! '

Facing such a large air force reinforcement, Okamura Ningji also seemed very satisfied.After thinking for a while, he said, "Generate Kimura Chuichi, order their troops to deploy defenses on the spot, and prepare for a counterattack after resting.

Now they have entered the border of Cangzhou, and if they retreat, they can only retreat into the Tianyan area.Such a retreat is undoubtedly a defeat.Let them hold on for a day, and the day after tomorrow will be our time to fight back. "

'Hi! '

While the North China Front Army was preparing to counterattack, gunshots and shelling rang out from time to time outside Shijiazhuang that night.It wasn't until dawn that the Shijiazhuang defenders realized that they had lost hundreds of defenders overnight.

In response to such a situation, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed at the top of the city were undoubtedly frightened.No one dared to show their heads casually, for fear of being shot by snipers from the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

But if you don't show your head, the mortars of the Eighth Route Army have also begun to erect closer and closer.The artillery shells thrown into the city from time to time also made the Japanese soldiers near the city wall miserable.And once they counterattack, they will inevitably be suppressed by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army.

Gradually, there was no longer much concern for this kind of harassment of the Japanese army.While concentrating on building fortifications in the city, the Japanese army also made preparations to defend Shijiazhuang.In their view, if you can persist for one more day, you will guard for one more day.

On the second day, the former 129th Division, which was in charge of chasing the Shijiazhuang garrison, soon discovered that the little devil had not withdrawn.In the vicinity of Cangzhou, we began to choose favorable terrain for blocking.

Boss Liu, who learned of this situation, quickly called a meeting of division commanders.Looking at the map of Cangzhou, he said, "Comrades, what do you think the little devils have suddenly stopped withdrawing, what is their intention?"

'Commander, if you think about it, the little devils know that they can't outrun us at all.Even being chased and beaten by us, it is better to start defense on the spot!What's more, it's actually not far from Tianyan and Beiping. '

Soon some teachers expressed their own analysis on this situation.But Boss Liu still shook his head and said: "According to what we have learned, the Japanese army deployed not many troops in Cangzhou, and their reserves are also not many.

It stands to reason that at this time, the little devil should hurry up and withdraw the remaining troops to Tianyan or Langfang to be safer.Now that he suddenly stops retreating, he must have some confidence!Could it be that they want to counterattack us? "

In Mr. Liu's opinion, the start of the attack on North China went beyond imagination.Now that the little devil suddenly stopped running, he felt that there was a fraud in it.Even during the previous pursuit, he ordered the troops not to be too scattered.

The reason is simple, he is also worried that the army will fall into the trap of the little devil.Now the little devil stopped suddenly, which obviously made him aware that something was wrong.But for a while, he couldn't think of anything wrong.

In response to this doubt, a division commander soon smiled and said: "Commander, this time the little devils are different. We are chasing and fighting on the ground, and our air force is always watching them in the sky. It is not so difficult to retreat." easy.

Because they were chased and beaten by us, they also felt aggrieved.And along the way, they didn't have a good rest.If they don't take a break in time, they may collapse if they don't make it to Tianyan or Peiping. "

Just after the teacher made this guess, Boss Liu thought for a while and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "In the past two days, we shouldn't have seen the little devil's plane dispatched, right? Do you think this is normal?"

'What does the commander mean? '

According to Mr. Liu's analysis, the teachers also think this is not normal?The little devil's plane suffered a great loss, so it's normal for him not to dare to fly.After all, the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes are very powerful, so they can't win at all?
