Chapter 156 Bloody Pingjin City One
At 10:00 am on July 8, after waiting for the North China garrison, which had not yet waited for its own fighter planes to support, could no longer bear it....com
Xiangyue asked the staff to learn that the Kwantung Army and the North China Garage Army were attacked at the main military airports and that their planes were almost wiped out.
When he received this news, Xiangyue asked Si to feel a smell of sweetness in his heart, and then a mouthful of blood squirted on several books on the desk.
The unfavorable attack of the North China Mixed Brigade on the night of seven days has made Qingsi Xiangyue so angry that he almost vomited blood. Now such a big basket has emerged from behind him.
The combat effectiveness of the North China garrison troops, which had lost their air superiority, was not a little reduced. This made Qingsi Xiangyue, who was already anxious, spit out a mouthful of blood without being anxious.
When the guards and the accompanying prostitutes rushed in, they exclaimed that they wanted to call the military doctor and were helping Qingsi Xiangyue to return to the backyard to lie down to rest, but Qingsi Xiangyue impatiently refused.
Xiangyue Qingsi asked the prostitute to pack up the blood-spreading desk, and then stared at the military situation chart in North China for a long time, but his mind was constantly calculating the situation in various places.
Xiangyue Qingsi knew that his nearly 100,000 troops stationed in North China were really making the arrow on the string and had to fire it.
After learning about the combat plan of the Fifth Field Army at the end of June, the military headquarters approved the plan to take over the generals designated by Hideki Tojo. Since early July, nearly 500,000 troops of the entire Kwantung Army, the North China Garage Army and the North Korean Legion have entered the implementation stage as planned.
Now my North China garrison is just a small link in the chain. If my link is disconnected, the entire chain will collapse. Although the army and aviation are so large, there is no way out on their own side. If they withdraw, they will not only destroy the entire plan, but also face the layers of blocking and encirclement of the Chinese team. In the end, it is still unknown whether they can retreat smoothly.
If we attack the entire line now, successfully capture Peking and Tianjin as planned, and annihilate the two divisions stationed in Pingjin in one fell swoop, and then stay in a dangerous position to welcome the main force of the Kwantung Army into the pass, then we may usher in a new situation.
If the Kwantung Army's combat plan can be implemented smoothly, it will not be impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops of the Fifth Field Army of the China ** team to be wiped out in one fell swoop. Besides, in more than ten days, the Navy Combined Fleet will be able to arrive at the Bohai Bay to support the battle. At that time, we will still be able to regain the air superiority. Although the entire battle will have twists and turns, it can still develop in the expected direction.
After figuring out these things, although Xiangyue Qingsi, who had already had a vague premonition, was unwilling to think deeply, and waved his hand to let the chief of staff who was carefully waiting by his side issue a full-scale attack order for the North China garrison troops.
On the morning of July 8, after a few days of emergency marching, all three divisions of the Japanese North China Governor Army, one brigade, and nearly 100,000 people, plus two divisions of the Kwantung Army North Korean Legion that had landed in Tanggu. They launched a full-line attack on the 512th Division and the 513th Division of the 51th Division of the 51th Group Army of the 51st Field Army stationed in Pingjin area.
Among them, the 6th Division, the 14th Division, and the 70,000 people from the North China Garage Army Mixed Brigade attacked the 512th Division, the 20th Division, the Kwantung Army, who had just landed in Tanggu, began to attack the positions of the 513th Division stationed in Tianjin. More than 40,000 Japanese and puppet troops in Yidong were responsible for side restraining and were responsible for receiving the subsequent Kwantung Army corps into the pass.
On this day, the entire Pingjin area was immersed in the war. With the powerful firepower and strong combat power of the Japanese elite division, all positions of our May 1st Army headquarters and the 512th Division and the 513th Division seemed to be swaying in the wind and rain.
The most tragic battlefield appeared at the Nanyuan station of our army in Peking. Two brigades of the Sixth Division and more than 20,000 people surrounded our Nanyuan position and were blocked.
Countless heavy artillery, mountain cannons and mortar shells poured on our positions, but Chen Geng, deputy commander of the Fifth Field Army and commander of the Fifth First Army, was in charge of command and calm response.
The 511th Brigade of the 51th Army and the Army's direct secret service regiment stationed in Nanyuan, had about 15,000 combat personnel.
Faced with the crazy attacks of the Japanese devils, my commanders and soldiers always stood firm and used the same fierce firepower and tenacious fighting will to block the enemy's crazy attack that was almost deadly.
In the evening, a hole was torn open by the southwest corner of Nanyuan's position by the Japanese with suicide attacks, and hundreds of screaming Japanese had already rushed up.
At this critical moment, Qiao Xinming, the commander of the 512th Division, personally led the soldiers of a battalion of the division's special forces regiment to pounce on it, forcing the part of the enemy back with bayonets and blood.
Immediately, the gap was blocked, and the soldiers consolidated their positions again, blocking the enemy so crazy that they could not stand outside the positions.
This scene is happening on many positions.
Because the little Japanese devils also knew that there was not much time left for them.
If they cannot completely annihilate the two divisions stationed in the Pingjin area of the China-** team and are dragged down by these two divisions, then they may face the danger of being trapped in the siege of the China-** team. They may even fail to completely annihilate the China-** team.
Therefore, the little Japanese devils are now launching a crazi attack on our army on almost all battlefields.
Wanping City and Lugou Bridge positions are also under attack from the mixed brigade of the Japanese North China garrison.
The attacks of the Mixed Brigade of the North China Garage Army during the day were much more violent last night, and several armored combat vehicles were also put into the battlefield. However, after the armored combat vehicles approached our position, they were reimbursed by our new recoilless guns with a few points.
The Japanese devils were shocked and deeply frightened. When did the Chinese team have surpassed the Japanese army in all its weapons and equipment?
If this battle continues like this, can the Imperial Army still win? The seeds of failure have begun to be sown in the hearts of many Japanese soldiers.
Yang Zheng and Zhang Hongliang have been involved in the front line of the positions and personally commanded the troops to fight. During the day today, Yang Zheng came to the main position of Lugou Bridge again, and together with Zhao Guodong, Yan Yong and others, they were under waves of attacks by the Japanese devils.
Although the casualties of the troops became increasingly serious with the crazy attacks of the Japanese devils, the soldiers were always full of morale and high-spirited. Seeing the little Japanese devils fall down in front of their guns, they felt extremely relieved.
It was not until dark that the Japanese devils' offensive stopped a little. In order to give the soldiers a rare time to breathe, the soldiers did not rest, but seized the time to consolidate their positions and replenish their ammunition. They prepared for the crazy attack that the Japanese devils would launch soon.
Just when the 51st Army headquarters and the 512th Division defended the positions from the Beiping to Langfang, facing Japanese attacks by the Japanese, the front line from Langfang to Tianjin, the two divisions from Langfang to Tianjin were also under fierce attacks from more than 80,000 people from the 20th Division of the North China Garage Army and the Kwantung Army North Korean division.
Facing the crazy attacks of the enemy, Xu Guangda, the commander of the 513th Division, was not panicked. Instead, he was very calm in Tianjin and commanded the entire division to 30,000 people to resist the enemy's attack that was far more than his own.
No matter how fierce the Japanese offensive was, I remained calm. After one day of fighting on July 8, although nearly one-fifth of the entire division suffered casualties, I still failed to let the enemy take a step beyond our position.
The most intense area in Tianjin took place on the front line of Haiguang Temple outside the south gate of Tianjin.
The second regiment of the 5132nd Brigade of the 5130th Division was guarding the front line of Haiguang Temple. The regiment commander Liang Dingbang commanded all the commanders and soldiers to fight against enemies that were several times higher than him. From more than ten o'clock, the Japanese devils rushed to our positions like ants. The few rounds of artillery attacks before the attack did not cause much damage to my consolidated position.
The soldiers had already known that at this time that the Sino-Japanese war broke out in the Lugou Bridge area for seven days. One by one, they were gritting their teeth for the Japanese devils and had been waiting for the Japanese army to attack, so they were so sad that they killed these little Japanese devils.
Therefore, at noon, when the Japanese devils launched an attack and the first wave of Japanese devils entered the effective range, the soldiers knocked down the dozens of Japanese devils running in the front with one round of accurate shooting.
Immediately, the light and heavy machine guns on the position began to show their power, and the Mauser gun, which was shot accurately from a distance, began to pour a piece of bullet into the Japanese's chest.
Of course, the Japanese's thrown bombs exploded on the positions from time to time, and the 38th bullets shot into the bodies of the soldiers from time to time, but no one on the positions was concerned about their casualties.
I only knew that with accurate shooting, the Japanese devils rushing in front of me shot one by one. From noon to night, the two corpses of the 20th Division of Japan have not yet captured our position for 7,000 people. Instead, they dropped the bodies of shameful invaders in front of the position.
In this way, the battle was at night, and as the enemy's offensive gradually became tired, the soldiers had the opportunity to take a breath and started to eat some steaming food delivered by the soldiers of the kitchen squad against the enemy's artillery fire. Only then did the soldiers who were slightly injured had time to arrange for themselves to bandage.
The regiment commander Liang Dingbang had no time to rest, but began to patrol the positions and urged the soldiers to seize the time to consolidate the construction site after a brief rest and prepare to face the more fierce attacks from the enemy.
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the Japanese devils, who had been briefly adjusted, began to attack our position again. Liang Dingbang was walking back to the regiment headquarters at this time.
Hearing the enemy's fierce artillery fire overwhelmed, Li Xiaobing, the guard next to the regiment commander, subconsciously threw the regiment commander to the ground. Then, a shell exploded beside them. Liang Dingbang fainted in an instant by the shock wave of the shell explosion.
When Liang Dingbang woke up, he found himself lying on a stretcher and was carried by the soldiers to run to the hospital behind him. Liang Dingbang immediately shouted loudly and asked the soldiers to put the stretcher on the ground. At this time, Liang Dingbang found that his left arm had left his body and his body was covered in blood.
Liang Dingbang felt a sudden pain in his heart, knowing that the guard Li Xiaobing, who was covering him, must have died. However, now is not the time to be sad. Liang Dingbang took a look at the wound of his left arm that had been simply bandaged by the health officer, calmed down for a moment, stood up and said to the soldiers beside him, "Go and go back to the front line." As he said that, he raised his feet and ran forward, regardless of the tears of the soldiers following him.
