------------------------------------------
At 10 a.m. on July 10, more than 8,000 infantry brigade of the 3rd brigade of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army and the Second Cavalry Regiment of the Kwantung Army, commanded by Hideki Tojo, had more than 10,000 people, and more than 10,000 people, began to formally launch an attack on the frontier positions in Zhangjiakou, our Zhangjiakou.
Because the enemy's artillery corps had not arrived at the battlefield, the artillery fire did not hit hard. On the front line, the enemy only acted as a tentative attack. According to the strict orders of superiors, our army did not give the enemy a fierce blow, but only used light weapons such as rifles and light machine guns to fight back.
Therefore, from more than 10 a.m. to more than 8 a.m. on the 10th, we fought all night long, but the battle was not fierce, and the deaths on both sides were very limited.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning on July 10, Tojo Hideki personally led the main force of three divisions to reach the front line of Zhangjiakou.
Hideki Tojo is a meticulous but extremely arrogant guy. He is confident that he has personally drafted and formulated the final battle plan of North China.
In this battle, the Japanese mobilized a total of three divisions of the North China Garage Army and a mixed brigade, two divisions of the Korean Army, seven divisions of the Kwantung Army in the South Manchuria, and three divisions of the Kwantung Army stationed in the North Manchuria near Changchun, totaling 450,000 elite main troops.
In addition, more than 50,000 Imperial Army and local autonomous forces in the eastern region of the South Manchuria and North China wing were put into the North China battlefield. In addition, the country should urgently recruit 20 divisions and troops. It is prepared to invest from the two lines of East China and North China to the Chinese battlefield.
According to the military plan, it is planned to take about six months to complete the plan to annex the entire Chinese mainland, and then either go south to Southeast Asia or north to the Soviet Far East. The imperial army will inevitably be invincible when it is expeditioned.
Starting from the end of June, nearly 500,000 troops of the entire Kwantung Army and the North China garrison troops have been fully invested in this huge plan. The twenty divisions recruited in China will also begin to enter the Chinese battlefield in late July.
In the past few days, the battle has really begun. Although it is not as smooth as expected, the Chinese team's will to resist and firepower equipment capabilities are far beyond the initial expectations.
Especially the military airports in South Manchuria and North China were successfully attacked by the China National Team using the most despicable means, which made it possible for our aviation troops to break into the battle to annihilate the China National Team in the past few days, but instead caused our army to be frequently attacked by the China National Team Air Force.
However, these problems cannot affect the overall situation. At present, the four divisions of the Kanto Army East Corps led by General Kenyoshi Ueda have successfully entered the pass in front of the Central ** team and have begun to attack the Central ** team.
The North China Garage Army and the North Korean Division were even attacking the Pingjin Defender. Although the attack process was a little twisted and the casualties were relatively large, according to the situation, it is estimated that the two important North China towns in Pingjin, China, could be occupied within one or two days. By then, our army will be alive.
The three divisions of the Kwantung Army West Corps led by him will definitely be able to capture the Zhangjiakou position guarded by only one division of the Central ** team within one day or two.
At that time, the Western Corps will go from west to east through Huailai and other places and attack the Pingjin area, giving the Chinese troops a knife. The main force of the Fifth Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army may have to surrender obediently or be annihilated by our army on the spot.
Especially the three divisions of North Manchuria will arrive at the Jinzhou front line at night, and will go straight to Shanhaiguan and other places from tomorrow to enter the pass. These three divisions serve as the general reserve team of the entire army, ensuring that our army will have no suspense in this battle.
Moreover, in more than ten days, the Navy Combined Fleet will enter the Bohai Bay. At that time, seizing air supremacy in North China will be just a trivial matter.
After the 20 divisions urgently dispatched in China entered North China and other places in late July, the Kwantung Army handed over the battlefield in North China to this Chinese front, returned to the north and south to consolidate its foundation, and waited for an opportunity to annihilate the Soviet Far Eastern forces, then the strategy of the Great Japanese Empire to control Asia would be roughly completed.
Just when Hideki Tojo proudly imagined that he would be promoted after the successful implementation of this combat plan, he never expected that his most proud action would be counted as a result of Xunhuaizhou.
On the morning of the 10th, as soon as Tojo Hideki arrived at the Zhangjiakou front line, he began to arrange troops to prepare to launch a strong attack on the Zhangjiakou 532nd Division position from several directions.
Zhangjiakou is surrounded by mountains on several sides, and the main passes and roads around it are occupied and blocked by our army, so it is indeed a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
However, Hideki Tojo did not feel troublesome. In his opinion, in the face of the powerful artillery fire of the Kanto Army, there would be no cities that the Kanto Army could not capture, and no troops that the Kanto Army could not destroy.
The arrogant Hideki Tojo commanded the artillery to launch round after round of bombardment on our positions since the morning. However, when the artillery fire was extended and the Kwantung Army Japanese launched a fierce attack, our army's powerful firepower hit the fierce attacking Kwantung Army, causing the first round of attack to retreat with a slash of head after leaving behind the corpses everywhere.
In this way, from the morning of July 10th to the morning of July 13th, the Kwantung Army commanded the Kwantung Army to launch a crazy attack on the front line of Zhangjiakou, and even took the casualties of the Japanese devils.
However, although our army also suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy deaths, it finally defended the core positions of Zhangjiakou. Many of the positions were held by the soldiers who fought with the enemy with the unique swords of the 29th Army and fought repeatedly.
By the night of July 12, more than half of the 532nd Division had suffered more than 20,000 casualties. All logistics troops also went to the front line.
In the end, Tong Linge not only failed to stop Zhang Zizhong from leading the guard company to the position, but he also led a guard company to the front line at the most critical moment of the battle. He fought desperately with the Japanese.
In this way, the northwestern men of the 532nd Division used their determination and will far better than the Great Wall during the War of Resistance Against Japan, like a strong steel nail to firmly nail the more than 80,000 people of the three divisions led by Hideki Tojo to the periphery of Zhangjiakou, making them unable to move forward or retreat.
As the situation became more and more corrupt, Hideki Tojo became more and more angry. Seeing that his three divisions were more than 80,000 people, blocked by more than 20,000 troops in Zhangjiakou by a division of the Central ** team, and the nearly 300,000 Japanese troops in the area of the Pingjin area of the Guankou were faintly trapped in the encirclement of the Zhongkou team. While the three Beiman regiments were still rushing to the Guankou, Hideki Tojo's heart was so anxious that he felt like a fire.
General Kenyoshi Ueda, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, has called several times to urge him to occupy Zhangjiakou as soon as possible, break into the battlefield of Peking from Huaihua, and truly play the role of a surprise soldier, and not become a dead son.
To this end, Hideki Tojo has called the commanders of the three divisions of the Western Corps and scolded them many times. He has repeatedly urged them not to care about casualties, and to ensure that Zhangjiakou is taken before the evening of October 13th at any cost.
The three division commanders of Yasui Fujiji and other three division commanders were also forced to death by Hideki Tojo and began to send the entire brigade to charge in a intensive manner. They hoped to use the bodies of the Japanese devils to pile up a bloody road to Peiping.
Such crazy suicide-style actions by the Japanese devils made the 532nd Division, which was standing on the front line of Zhangjiakou, even more stormy.
The soldiers had not closed their eyes for three days and three nights under the enemy's continuous attacks. Even the hot meal was not enough to have a meal. All the wounded men who could move had already taken their guns to the position.
Zhang Zizhong personally sat on the main position of Dongyaozi Town, the eastern foot of Zhangjiakou. Although his body was covered with bullet marks and injured in many places, he almost didn't care about bandaging.
Beside him is Ji Xingwen, the commander of the 1st regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 532nd Division.
After disrupting the reorganized 29th Army, after the reorganization, Ji Xingwen, the commander of the Northwest Army who fired the first anti-Japanese shot in the later generations of Xunhuaizhou, is now being organized as the commander of the 1st Regiment of the Second Brigade of the 532nd Division of Zhang Zizhong.
The main position of Dongyaozikou is under their responsibility to defend it.
This position was also subjected to the most violent attacks from the enemy.
Ji Xingwen could no longer remember how many attacks the Japanese devils had repelled, and he also did not have many lottery tickets on him. He only knew that at the most dangerous moment when the position was about to fall, the division commander personally led a guard company to chop dozens of devils who had already rushed into the trenches with a big knife to the ground, and at the same time repelled the enemy's most violent attack.
From then on, the division commander and everyone stood on the front line of the position and began to block the enemy's round of fierce attacks.
No matter how the soldiers persuaded them, the division commander refused to retreat a little.
There were still many soldiers who died in the trenches and there was no time to clean up. Most of the entire regiment had been killed and injured. As long as the injured were able to move, they stood on the position. Although they had not closed their eyes for three days and three nights, everyone still stared at the blood-red eyes and looked ahead. The new round of artillery attacks of the Japanese devils had ended and a new round of charge would be launched soon.
Now, the entire division has transferred all those who can go to the battlefield to the battlefield, and no soldier can reinforce it.
The only thing he relies on is the traitor who has been crippled by the division commander. Ji Xingwen doesn't know how long his team can hold on to the position, and can withstand the enemy's charges several times, and doesn't even know whether he can withstand the enemy's charges.
But he only had one thought in his mind now, that is, as long as he had a breath, the little Japanese devil would not want to cross his position.
Ji Xingwen turned around and glanced at the division commander beside him, and saw that although Zhang Zizhong's eyes were also red, he looked ahead with a bright look, staring at the Japanese devils who had already appeared in front of the position. He held the steel gun tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to nail the devils to death with his eyes.
Ji Xingwen knew that the division commander had an idea with him. As long as the 29th Army alone stood on this position, the enemy would never be allowed to cross the position.
Ji Xingwen thought about it and became more determined. He loudly ordered the soldiers to prepare and resolutely annihilate another round of fierce attacks by the Japanese. Then he grabbed the kettle beside him and poured two sips of water, and began to raise the middle official in his hand. He began to aim at the enemy walking in the front, preparing to wait for the enemy to enter the range, and then his mother's head would explode.
The sun in the east is getting higher and higher, and the sun has also changed from the red sun when it first came out of the mountain to the most spicy and spicy sun. However, Ji Xingwen doesn't feel how hot the sun shines on his body now, but instead he feels cold. Ji Xingwen knows that maybe the next moment is the last moment when these people sacrifice their lives for the country, but with the company of my teachers, I, Ji Xingwen, have been worth it many times...
