- "Report, the black room intercepted the Japanese army's secret message. The Chengde Japanese army may have known our army's intention to attack Longhua!"
"This is inevitable. We still don't have the ability to interfere with the Japanese army's radio communications. That Miyamoto is not a fool!" Lu Shan nodded.
"Yes, once our army attacks Longhua, Chengde will be afraid of reinforcements. Are our blocking troops in place?" Qin Shiyu asked.
"The pistol battalion of the 41st Army, the reconnaissance battalion directly under the 36th Division, and the support of the independent cavalry group, as long as we can capture Chiguan, our hand will be bigger!" Lu Shan had already thought about it. These two battalions are elite men, so blocking them shouldn't be a big problem, not to mention there is a cavalry regiment roaming around the periphery, ready to respond at any time. Even if the Japanese army sends reinforcements, the strength cannot exceed two brigades, which is enough to cope with it.
"The troops are sufficient, but in terms of firepower, the Japanese army will definitely send out artillery, so we won't have an advantage?"
"We can only attack the city first. If we can eat the Japanese reinforcements, that would be the best. If we can't eat it, don't force it. Let's do it step by step!"
"Right!"
Although the battle plan formulated by Lu Shan to capture Rehe followed the route of quick victory, when it was implemented, he still hoped to grasp the rhythm, attack steadily, and capture one piece at a time. As long as the 181st Division blocked the Japanese reinforcements, The Japanese and puppet troops in Rehe will eventually become a meal for the Eastern Resistance.
This time will definitely teach the Japanese army an unforgettable lesson!
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Mr. Lu, Vice President Qin. I just received the telegram that the cavalry squadron sent by the Japanese army for reinforcements has been eliminated by me. Now the reconnaissance battalion is catching up with the 41st Army Pistol Battalion as planned and heading towards Chiguan!"
"What are the casualties and losses?"
"The reconnaissance battalion suffered a lot of casualties. Thirty-seven people were killed and more than fifty wounded!" Su Zhenfei said. "The cavalry regiment suffered few casualties. A large number of weapons and horses were seized. The cavalry regiment replenished some weapons and ammunition, and the rest were handed over. Give it to the reconnaissance battalion!¡±
"Okay. Without this cavalry, it will be difficult for the Japanese to break through!"
"Deputy Commander Zhang ordered the Independent Regiment to block the south gate of Longhua. If the Japanese army wants to leave the city, it will be a dead end!" Su Zhenfei reported.
On May 15, the 22nd year of the Republic of China, at 1:43 pm, the battle to capture Longhua officially began!
The Japanese army built fortifications outside Longhua City, but due to the strength of the Japanese army. Only key positions can be defended, and other parts can only be left to the puppet troops who cooperate with the operation!
We can imagine the combat effectiveness of the puppet army. Even though the Japanese army fought fiercely, in the face of the fierce attack of the East Resistance, the puppet army's defensive front was quickly torn open!
The peripheral battle lasted less than twenty minutes, and the fortifications and bunkers built by the Japanese army outside Longhua City fell into the hands of the Eastern Resistance.
The puppet troops who had no time to run back basically became prisoners of war. Not a single Japanese prisoner was captured.
As long as the puppet troops dominate the peripheral battles, this is Miyamoto's last resort. He does not have so many troops to deploy on such long fortifications.
So once Dong Kang breaks through the outer perimeter, he won't be able to defend Longhua City.
Therefore, he concentrated all his troops on city defense. Use the strong city walls to compete with the Chinese army. Waiting for reinforcements!
Hattori Hyojiro, who had just given the "combat readiness" order to the troops, soon received another telegram from Miyamoto Tokuichi asking for help.
Hattori Hyojiro, who was initially disapproving, was really shocked. How could he think of continuing to drink and have a romantic affair with Daisaku Kawamoto?
Once Longhua is lost, Chengde will be in danger. That is the north gate of Chengde, and then the Chinese army will march straight in.
He lost Chengde, which he finally captured, and the anger from above was beyond his ability to bear. At least his fate would be much worse than that of Kawamoto Daisaku who was abandoned!
"Hattori-kun, you look very ugly. Is there something wrong with the telegram?" Daisaku Kawamoto asked carefully.
"Kawamoto-kun, this really made you guess. The China Army really took action against Longhua!" Hattori Hyojiro didn't hide it. In fact, he had no need to hide it. The news would spread soon. .
"When the China Army took action at this time, Major Miyamoto must have been caught off guard!" Daisaku Kawamoto said.
"The troops in Longhua City are limited. Although a security brigade from Manchukuo is stationed, the combat effectiveness is not as good as the imperial police. Once Longhua falls, Chengde will be in danger, so I must send a support force immediately to support Miyamoto!" Hattori Soldier Jiro said.
"Someone, pick me up the 25th Regiment!"
"Hai! "
"Hello, is this Major Shotaro Nizue?"
"Hai, your Excellency, brigade commander, what are your orders?"
"Longhua County is under siege by the Chinese Army's Eastern Resistance Force. Now I order you to quickly lead your second brigade of the 25th Regiment, immediately collect ammunition and dry food, and quickly reinforce Longhua without any mistakes!"
"Hai, I understand my humble position!" Shotaro Nazue on the other end of the phone quickly agreed.
"Is the strength of a brigade a little thinner?" Daisaku Kawamoto asked, "To deal with the Chinese Army's Eastern Resistance, we cannot use the standards of other Chinese Army?"
"Although the China Army has stationed a division of troops in Chifeng, there are many places to defend. The number of troops they can attack Longhua will not exceed one brigade at most. To deal with one brigade of the China Army, one brigade is enough!" Hattori Hyojiro said.
"Hattori-kun, don't forget that our elite Sixth Division suffered heavy losses at the hands of the opponent in Zhengjiatun?"
"Kawamoto-kun, that's different. The Sixth Division is facing the most elite troops of the China Army in the Eastern Resistance. Their personnel and equipment are not inferior to ours, but this Thirty-sixth Division has just been reorganized, and its combat effectiveness is impressive. Just imagine!¡±
¡°I think it¡¯s better not to be careless!¡±
"Kawamoto-kun is worrying too much. I'm really sorry today. I wanted to have a drink with my old friends and catch up on old times, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'll be the host another day and I'll treat Kawamoto-kun to a drink. How about that?" Hattori Hyojiro stood up. road.
"Hattori-kun, you're welcome. It's my turn to be the host next time, and then Hattori-kun will be honored!" Daisaku Kawamoto chuckled.
"please!"
Longhua County is experiencing this test of blood and fire. When the Japanese advanced, the defenders only resisted slightly. Longhua fell, and the people didn't think the war was so terrible, but now, they understand how terrible the real war is!
The deafening sound of artillery kept ringing in the ears, and from time to time, artillery shells that deviated from the ballistic trajectory fell into the city. Violent explosions sounded, and the originally bustling county suddenly became empty. Hiding at home, waiting in fear for fate's decision!
"Commander, what should we do? We have attacked three times but have not been able to capture the gap. Is it so damn difficult to defeat the Japs?" Yao Zishan, who was the main attacker, shouted to Zhou Zhendong with his face filled with gunpowder smoke.
"What's the situation at the east gate and west gate?" Zhou Zhendong set up his headquarters in a semi-underground bunker less than three kilometers away from the Longhua city wall.
"The Japanese army fought tenaciously and with fierce firepower. According to the intelligence given to us by our superiors, before the exercise, Chengde allocated a batch of ammunition and weapons to the Longhua garrison, including twenty heavy machine guns and nearly a hundred Thousands of rounds of ammunition, as well as infantry guns, mortars and other weapons!¡±
"It seems that the enemy has sufficient firepower. And there is no shortage of ammunition!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the casualties of attacking during the day will be too great. Could you please ask the headquarters to postpone the attack at night?" Yao Zishan said.
"You think this is children's play house. Mr. Lu personally issued an order that Longhua must be captured before dark. If you can't capture it, replace it!" Zhou Zhendong said sternly.
"However, the enemy's firepower is too strong and they are condescending. If we attack by force, the casualties among our brothers will be too high"
"Can you get a large-caliber artillery and let's blast a gap? As long as we open a hole, it will be easy!"
"The artillery regiment is hundreds of miles away. Besides, no one can mobilize the artillery regiment without orders from above!"
"Then what do we have in our hands now?"
¡°Both mortars and infantry artillery are too powerful. At least they must be mountain artillery. It would be better if there are howitzers!¡± Lin Fangdao, a staff officer who was born in the artillery, said, ¡°The larger the caliber, the better.¡±
"What is our largest caliber artillery?"
"There are 70mm Japanese-made Type 92 infantry guns and 80mm mortars, but the shooting range is not as good as the infantry guns, and the power of the shells is average. If there are special shells, the power may be increased a lot!"
"Special ammunition, you are crazy, can this be used?"
"Commander-in-Chief, the special bombs I'm talking about are not the bacterial bombs and poison gas bombs you mentioned, but high-explosive bombs and incendiary bombs. These types of shells are originally produced in small quantities and are expensive. Our arsenal's current technical capabilities are It¡¯s not even possible to imitate it!¡± Lin Fang explained.
"So that's it, what should we do? If we don't have powerful cannonballs and we want to blow open the city wall, we can only use blasting!"
"Artificial blasting is a bit expensive. How many people must die to deliver the explosives to the bottom of the city wall?"
The air inside the headquarters seemed to freeze for a moment!
"If there is no other way, then the only option is to use artificial blasting, and order the engineer platoon to be ready"
"Commander-in-Chief, there is another way!" At this time, artillery staff Lin Fang suddenly raised his hands and stood up.
"Commander Lin, tell me quickly, what can we do?"
"Commander-in-Chief, do you still remember the ancestral hall in Xiaotanggou Village?"
"Speak to the important point, don't be too pretentious!"
"Going inside the ancestral hall, there is a dilapidated house with an iron cannon hidden inside. The caliber is a full 150 millimeters!"
"You mean that iron cannon, it's been many years, can it still be used?"
"This front smoothbore gun has a simple structure. As long as the main parts are not broken, it can be used!" Lin Fangdao.
"The cannon can be used, but we don't have any shells?"
"Cannonballs are easy to get, but if it doesn't work, we can make a few ourselves. As long as we can blast Longhua City away, that's enough!" Lin Fang said.
"Commander Lin, this is no longer child's play. Are you sure?"
"Commander-in-Chief, I can't give you an answer until I see that iron cannon and inspect it!" Lin Fang said solemnly.
"Okay, I give you permission to go to Xiaotanggou immediately. If the cannon can be used, bring it back immediately!" Zhou Zhendong thought for a moment and ordered.
"yes!"
"Order the troops to continue attacking Longhua City without giving the Japanese a chance to breathe, but don't risk attacking the city and wait for the final attack order!" - Didn't finish reading?
