As soon as he finished speaking, three missiles fell rapidly from the sky, hitting the roof of the Japanese Joint Command Headquarters!
"Pass!"
"Pass!"
"Pass!" After hearing three deafening loud noises, the huge floor collapsed. Cold bricks and dripping blood were poured together. Countless heart-rending wails could be heard amidst the billowing smoke, and the pungent smell of blood could be heard. The smell of burning flesh made the survivors almost nauseous;
There were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere under the piles of rubble, and countless people were buried under the rubble and unable to move.
At the right moment, a Japanese lieutenant colonel was sweating profusely, clenching his teeth, and with amazing willpower, he lifted up the concrete slab that was pressing on him. He rolled and crawled and finally managed to reach a relatively safe open space. Just as he was about to take a deep breath, he suddenly suddenly I felt a wave of cramping pain spreading from my body to my limbs. I leaned over and took a closer look.
His legs disappeared out of thin air, replaced by a long string of intestines filled with blood and sand, extending from the lifted cement board to underneath him.
At that moment, Lieutenant Colonel's tense nerves could not withstand such a heavy blow, and he fell to the ground, staring for a long time at the big black bat bomber hovering in the dust-filled sky!
The incident was so serious that the surviving Japanese officers ignored their dead comrades and quickly organized manpower to rescue the lightly and seriously wounded while counting the number of casualties.
When Gen Sugiyama, then commander-in-chief of the North China Front, held the latest battle report from the frontline troops, his eyes were red and his neck was red, and he was furious. He used his hands to tear the message into strips, and at the same time shouted loudly:
"Bagya Road! In less than two hours, a single shell killed a division commander, a brigade commander and three regiment commanders of the Imperial Japanese Army! Li Yunfeng! Li Yunfeng! I will cut you into pieces Absolutely! Let your ashes be buried under the stone foundation of the Yasukuni Shrine and be trampled by the imperial army for the rest of your life!"
After a long time, Sugiyama Yuan got tired of cursing. He leaned back on the seat of the special car, staring blankly at the dark roof of the car, and then regained his consciousness and weakly issued the order:
"Order immediately! The 14th Division stationed in Hebei, the 20th Division stationed in Suiyuan, the 16th Division stationed in Chahar, and the garrison division stationed in Tianjin will each form no less than two regiments. The troops immediately marched day and night to Datong City to support;
At the same time, the Second Division was ordered to fully take over the frontline troops from the Second Division, Toshiro Ani, and must defend the city at any cost to gain time for the troops to encircle the defense forces! "
Having said this, the muscles on one side of Sugiyama Yuan's cheek trembled, and immediately he felt heartbroken, gritted his teeth and added:
"Request assistance from the Army Headquarters and request that the 10th Division of the Central China Front Army be sent north immediately. Otherwise, let alone Datong, I am afraid that the entire Three Jin Dynasty will fall into the hands of the Chinese Defense Forces!"
Hearing this, the entourage was shocked. Although their official titles and status were far less noble and respected than Sugiyama Gen's at that time, their temperament as the commander in front of them made them impressed by their constant contact over the past few days. This kind of person doesn't hesitate to ask for help from the headquarters at the cost of losing face. One can imagine how tormented he is in his heart.
What's more, from the perspective of the military, calling for friendly forces to support him when he is inferior to the enemy is undoubtedly a sign of incompetent command. No matter what the outcome of the battle is, he will inevitably be criticized by the military circles.
[Noon on July 8th]
The army headquarters carefully decided to adopt Sugiyama Gen's opinion and increase the number of troops. After the defeat of the first Taierzhuang battle, the 10th Division of the Central China Front Army, which was resting and preparing for war in Jinan, rushed north to aid Datong. At the same time, the Land-Based Flight Command dispatched a bomber brigade day and night. At the same time, they went to Sanjin to provide air fire support.
At the same time, thanks to the assistance of the German Gestapo lurking in Beiping City, the National Defense Forces also learned that the commander of the Japanese 22nd Division and five of his subordinate officers of the rank of colonel were killed in an air raid by the National Defense Forces. They immediately sent a telegram to the whole country about the news, and the whole country heard about it. I was so happy and elated that I couldn't help but go to the streets and alleys to celebrate the defense forces!
At the same time, the Japanese armies of Hebei, Chahar, Suiyuan, Tianjin and the 10th Division in Shandong rushed to Datong for reinforcements at night. The 18th Army, the Central Army, the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, the New Fourth Army, the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Fifth Army All departments in the theater immediately launched into vigorous blocking, harassment, ambush and other battles to delay the Japanese reinforcements with extremely tacit understanding.
The 386th Brigade of the 18th Group Army, on the way north to Datong from Linfen adjacent to Jinzhong, mobilized more than 17,000 soldiers and civilians within its jurisdiction to blow up bridges and demolish railway tracks along the Tongpu Railway, forcing the reinforcements of the 14th Division in the Hebei direction to have to Abandon the railway and switch to land to reinforce Datong.
Coincidentally, they encountered a regiment of the Northwest Army directly. Seeing that the Japanese army was not equipped with any artillery reinforcements, the whole regiment was excited when they heard about it. They picked up a big blade and rushed towards the enemy to engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat.
After finally using the force of a brigade at the front to block the bravery of the Northwest Army, the remaining troops only took a few steps away from Linfen and plunged into the ambush circle prepared by the Central Army!
The Central Army is wider than the Northwest Army! With many soldiers and generals, the firepower of one division fought against the Japanese reinforcements composed of pure infantry for several hours. The fight was back and forth. Then, for unknown reasons, they suddenly withdrew from the battlefield and headed towards Shandong!
Now, we can't face any more obstacles, right? Why! It's better to come early than to come late! This group of devils collided with the 33rd Division of the Shaanxi Army that had just come down from Zhongtiao Mountain for reinforcements. The guys from the northwest are so down-to-earth, and they will fight you hand to hand!
Another division pounced on them in unison, holding back three of the opponent's brigades!
At this time, before setting off late at night on July 8, there were still two regiments and six brigades, totaling more than 8,000 people rushing to the rescue. By the evening of July 9, they had been defeated by the 18th Group Army, the Northwest Army, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The four strong men of the Shaanxi Army and the Shaanxi Army fought fiercely like wheels, and only two brigades with more than 3,000 people were left!
Seeing dusk rising on the horizon, if we move forward, we may encounter another interception by the Chinese army. In addition, after a day of fighting to break through, the remaining Japanese soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally.
As a result, the leading major general commander ordered the troops to rest where they were, burying pots and making rice, and that the important matter would be discussed tomorrow! Upon hearing this, all the ghosts cheered and smiled happily.
An hour later, smoke was rising from the Japanese camp, and fragrant rice lay quietly in wooden barrels against the heat. A group of Japanese soldiers holding lunch boxes lined up and stared forward attentively, lest someone delay their cooking time!
"Comrades! The Japanese have prepared dinner for us! Kill all the little Japanese, let's have dinner! Kill them!"
Not long after, a group of Chinese soldiers wearing gray and blue military uniforms emerged from the depths of the jungle, on both sides of the road, and around the camp. The leading flag bearer, holding a large flag with the 386th Brigade printed on it, charged forward...
