Chapter 210 Militia dressed as pigs and tigers
As a major transportation route connecting North China and Northeast China, Chengde, the capital of Rehe, is no less important than Zhangjiakou. When the militia column took Zhangjiakou and Baotou in Suiyuan was also surrounded by the 35th Army, the main force of the militia column, which had been active in the Qian'an area, suddenly secretly gathered outside Chengde City, preparing to launch the battle to recover Chengde.
Once this information was discovered by the Japanese Kwantung Army Command, they were no longer in the mood to take care of Zhangjiakou and Baotou, and urgently dispatched two main divisions of Guandong East to Chengde for rescue. If even Chengde fell, their Kwantung Army would be completely lost.
The news of the main force of the Kwantung Army going south spread. Hu Guangzong, who led the team to secretly sneak here, knew that so many troops had been transferred here, but he still had not hidden the Kwantung Army here. However, what if he knew, he had received a telegram from Deng Chenggong, who had dealt with the Suiyuan Division, and was leading the main militia to Rehe. In this way, nearly half of the main forces of the militia column gathered here. If the Kwantung Army only relied on two main divisions, it would be really not enough to see.
With Deng Chenggong's support, the main force of the Northeast Military Sub-district commanded by Hu Guangzong immediately began the regaining battle along the county town near Chengde. In order to prevent the Japanese army from leaving the city to provide support, the reorganized Qian'an main division was specially arranged to sit outside Chengde City. As long as the Japanese army in Chengde dared to leave the city, they would have nothing to say to deal with them well.
Although the Kwantung Army troops stationed in Chengde City and the puppet army now have more than 10,000 people, as the main force of the Northeast Military Sub-district, the personnel, weapons and equipment of the Qian'an Division can also be said to be carried forward, not to mention that there is an independent cavalry brigade to cooperate in combat. If the Japanese army in Chengde dares to leave the city, these two main forces in the Northeast Military Sub-district will definitely make them understand what a head-on attack is.
With Qian'an Division guarding Chengde's Anti-City Army, Hu Guangzong immediately commanded Hu Hao's Northeast Division, and the 7th Division was formed behind the militia stationed in the Northeast Military Sub-district. The infantry of the two divisions cooperated with the artillery brigade directly under the military sub-district. He began to sweep along the periphery of Chengde, including Longhua, Pingquan, Chengde and Xinglong, and other surrounding counties.
So when Lieutenant General Baiwu, the commander of the Japanese army guarding Chengde, saw the telegrams for help from the counties below, he could only helplessly tell the Japanese city defense officers in these county towns to delay time as much as possible and wait for the arrival of the main force of the Kwantung Army. However, with the cooperation of the artillery and powerful infantry of the Northeast Military Sub-district, these county towns had almost little ability to resist.
Even Chengde, who was closest to Chengde City, was only survived for less than 24 hours and was captured by tens of thousands of troops led by Hu Guangzong in the Northeast Military Sub-district. For a moment, the situation in the entire Rehe River undoubtedly became extremely tense. At this time, the Kwantung Army realized that this time the militia column might be really good, and they wanted to eliminate all the forces that were deployed by their Kwantung Army outside!
While Ueda Ken asked the general to be responsible for the two Kwantung Army Divisions that were heading for support to speed up the march, he ordered the main forces of Rehe to Chahar to support him to escape from the blocking battle between the main militia brigades as soon as possible and return to the war in Chengde. Otherwise, Ueda Kenrang would not be sure of who would be hung on the city when his two main divisions arrived in Chengde.
Unfortunately, the Japanese army blocked near Akagi did not realize that Deng Cheng, who had returned to the east, had arrived at the anxious battle scene. For these Japanese and puppet coalition forces, which had almost used the sea of people to drag down this Japanese and puppet coalition, Deng Chenggong, who was responsible for blocking, had a quota for a new division of the Akagi Militia Brigade.
He also took over the command from this militia brigade and prepared to take a look at the main force of the Rehe Kwantung Army, which caused a lot of casualties and injuries to their grassroots militia troops before entering Rehe east.
Out of the strong request of the Chicheng militia brigade commander, Deng successfully asked them to act as reserve troops. Once the general attack was launched, he and his subordinates who had almost suffered heavy casualties could participate in the general attack. This was to give them a chance to avenge themselves, but at present, they still ordered these militias who had fought for several days and nights to retreat to the rear to rest.
The Rehe Division, dragged in a mountain forest in Chicheng, felt a little tired when facing these grassroots militia troops like psoriasis. As the earliest Japanese invaders to enter China, they realized for the first time that the militia troops in front of them were difficult. What's more, these militias were not the real main force, and at most they could only be considered second-rate troops. So how powerful are their real main force?
Deng Chenggong did not let these Japanese wait too long. After observing the battle areas between the two sides, Deng Chenggong decided to play a bold blitzkrieg, waiting for all the troops he commanded to assemble. He asked the artillery division to mark the defensive positions arranged by the Rehe Division in front of him one by one, and then directly the artillery of the entire division was on board. He gave these Rehe Japanese a feast of artillery fire.
Situ Liang, who had a rare opportunity to fight with the entire division, naturally would not miss such a rare opportunity to distribute the Japanese artillery positions that had destroyed the artillery regiment of the Chicheng Militia Brigade to the division headquarters with the most fierce firepower. And in accordance with Deng Chenggong's instructions, half of the incendiary bombs could be used, and the remaining howitzer regiments focused on attacking the two frontal positions with the strongest defensive power of the Japanese.
After the strike targets of each regiment were determined, the first one to fire was the division's rocket launcher regiment. In this recovery operation, the powerful strike ability of the rocket launcher regiment has been recognized by the whole division. The Rehe Division, which was still looking for a breakout opportunity, did not realize that the main force of the militia column they had been worried and looking forward to was fighting with them at this time.
As the attack of the rocket launcher regiment started, the Japanese who were at the front line were shocked by the rocket barrage with their tails in front of them. Just when they were glad that such dense artillery fire did not fall on their defensive positions, but on the main artillery position in the rear.
When the rocket launcher regiments fired the first artillery regiment, they also began to fire thousands of artillery shells, and sent the shells in the howitzer to the Japanese defensive position in front of them. For two days, I hadn't felt the defensive artillery fire of the opponent's militia, and I was stunned. Why is the more powerful the artillery fire of this difficult militia unit in front of me, the more powerful it is?
The commander of the Rehe Division, who was in the rear, soon realized that such a powerful artillery unit appeared at this time. There was only one possibility, that is, the main force of the militia column they were worried about arrived. When they saw the artillery position on the ground was destroyed by the artillery fire that fell like rain, the commander of the Japanese division leading the team to support realized that they were in great trouble.
While ordering the troops in front to resist, the commander of the Rehe Division called the Kwantung Army headquarters again, hoping to send troops to reinforce them as soon as possible. If they do not send troops to reinforce them, their troops will probably be wiped out again.
However, when the Kwantung Army was facing a fire everywhere, the group could not come up with an effective and timely solution for a while, but we could not watch the division be destroyed, right? Since the infantry could not be sent out, Kenra Ueda had to send planes from the Northeast Nenjiang Airport again to support the battle.
And in order to prevent these air forces from moving onto the old path of Suiyuan Air Force again, Ken Ueda asked the general to specifically instruct the Japanese pilots carrying out bombing missions to be careful of the air defense firepower of the militia column. Because, the militia unit has the amount of air defense weapons, I am afraid that even the Kwantung Army will feel ashamed of themselves. Don’t be saved by then, and consume the lucky accumulated air force!
When the Japanese division commander received a telegram from the Kwantung Army that he would send the air force to support the war, the Japanese division commander breathed a little relieved. However, as the artillery units of their division were destroyed and the frontier positions were urged by militia artillery soldiers, the Japanese grassroots officers who were responsible for observing the situation of the frontier positions were frightened when they saw the chariot troops appearing in the telescope.
When the sound of shell explosions came from outside from time to time, he shouted like a frightened person: "Chinese chariot, Chinese chariot! Hurry up to the position. Defense, defense!"
This situation was also immediately fed back to the Japanese division commander who was commanding in the rear. Facing the militia armored troops appearing in front of their front positions, the Japanese division commander also seemed a little crazy: "Call the warriors and must block the Chinese tanks from breaking through our positions. When our air force arrives, victory will be ours!"
If the warriors were replaced by China, they would be suicide squads. The Japanese who had lost their artillery troops could only rely on such suicide squads that only Chinese soldiers would usually do when fighting against Chinese troops, holding explosives and cannons to block these chariots that could not be stopped with machine guns.
Unfortunately, their idea is good, and courage does not seem to be lacking for these Japanese devils, but in this armored division, the Chinese and Tanks are already very skilled in cooperating with each other. When the tanks began to crush the Japanese defensive positions, before the Japanese death squadrons with menstruation approached the tank, they were killed by the militia behind the tank as soon as they jumped out of the trench.
On the Japanese defensive positions, the firepower points of heavy machine guns with high lethality were also removed by these rushing tanks and armored vehicles. Seeing their frontal defense positions being breached step by step, the Japanese division commander was extremely shocked and began to eagerly look forward to the arrival of their air force.
Just when they felt that the air force should be about to arrive, Deng Chenggong waved his hand and sent the cavalry division in the rear. With the lead of the armored division, these cavalry rush into the defensive positions, and the Japanese infantry had no way to resist. As for the main infantry divisions of the militia units, Deng Chenggong did not line them up on the field. Instead, he sent all the main forces of the grassroots militia who had been resting for several hours to cooperate in clearing the Japanese remnants on the positions.
So much so that when the Japanese Apolloes arrived in the sky above the battle, they saw that the two troops below were already entangled, they didn't know whether their bombs should be dropped. When they saw that the main militia troops who did not participate in the war were about to go forward to bomb, what was waiting for them was the super air defense firepower network that their commander had always asked them to be careful.
Seeing that the plane that rushed in front fell the fastest, the Japanese pilots following behind knew that there was no way to bomb again. Although they knew in their hearts that the fate of the Rehe Division below the battle would not be very good, but many Japanese pilots could not do it even if they threw bombs and exploded their own people.
The Japanese planes that could not find the target of the bombing were themselves cross-regional operations. After wandering around the battle for a few times, only a few bombers dropped bombs and even more bombs on their heads. The depressedness in the Japanese division commander's heart is conceivable, but when they saw these planes finally had to fly helplessly above the battle, the Japanese division commander knew that they had been abandoned by the Kwantung Army!
Their Rehe Division will become a victim of the militia column in front of them again. When will such a powerful Chinese army appear on this Chinese territory?
The militia and the Japanese division commander sighed at this obviously sarcastic code name. If the militias are so powerful these days, then the Japanese army will have a fucking fuck! These Chinese regular army, which are holding militia flags but are stronger than their divisions, are simply a role of playing a pig and eating a tiger. It is really a waste of life!
