Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1178

Because Wang Xiaoqiang focused on how to get rid of the lighter, but completely ignored the wink given to him by his old regiment leader Ye Chenghuan.

Based on Tang Tuanzuo's understanding of Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, how could he not know that there are good things in front of this guy that must be hidden?

Watching Wang Xiaoqiang and his guard squad disappear into the darkness, Ye Chenghuan smiled bitterly and said: "Captain, this is a bit unethical! In any case, I have to drink this meal."

Tang Tuanzuo also bared his teeth: "Director Ye, are you ready at the west gate of Gu Xishui?"

"Well, Gu Xishui just sent a telegram. They have already loaded the explosives!" Ye Chenghuan replied with a strange look and nodded.

It is no longer enough to describe Tang Dao as a soldier like a god. From the perspective of Ye Chenghuan and Tang Dao who are already close comrades in arms, unpredictable is the best adjective.

Shimen, a transportation hub relatively close to Jin Province, had never appeared on the counterattack map of the second theater until this time because Jindong had already fallen into enemy hands and was heavily guarded by the 20th Division. During the Eastern Counterattack, Shimen fell into the sight of all Chinese generals, but that was more imagination than reality.

The previous 80,000-strong army was directed at Shimen, hoping to contain the Japanese North China Front Army so that it would be difficult to send troops to support the Central China Battlefield in the short term to achieve the purpose of a decisive battle between the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Japanese Central China Front Army.

But as the war gradually unfolded, it was not until the main force of the Jindong Army arrived at Shimen City that Ye Chenghuan, who had become the third in command of the Si Xing Regiment, realized that he, the commander of the Regiment, had actually changed from 5 months ago. Then began to lay out the stone gate.

Yes, Tang Dao was not waiting for the "cooperation" of the North China Security Army's second brigade after being frightened for several hours without attacking the city!

To be precise, he was waiting for news from the spy in the city!

And this time, the internal intelligence Tang Dao was waiting for was not affiliated with the military command or the underground anti-Japanese armed forces of the 80th Group Army, but the intelligence system belonging to the Four Lines Regiment.

Less than half a month after the Si Xing Regiment stationed in Dakouzidong, more than 20 veterans from the security department of the Si Xing Regiment disappeared inexplicably. Their list was not even in the political office in charge of personnel and politics. Even Ye Chenghuan did not know about this group. human existence.

There is only one person in charge of them, and that is Tang Dao, who is a top secret in the Four Elements Group. If Tang Dao died that day, this group of people would not even be able to prove that they are members of the Four Elements Group.

Tang Dao, who had experienced the Battle of Shentou Ridge, deeply understood the importance of intelligence from the moment he stepped into Licheng, but Tang Dao knew that his destiny must be in his own hands.

Therefore, it was imperative to develop its own espionage system. Even because there were many places to spend money when first arriving at the station, Tang Dao still squeezed out some funds and sent personnel to sneak into major cities in North China occupied by the Japanese army, which naturally included The important town of Shimen.

In less than five months, the spy network built on the basis of loyal veterans is still very weak. Most of them are still struggling to survive at the bottom of the city. In addition to being familiar with the nooks and crannies of the city, everything else is still there. Not quite on track.

However, in Shimen, the secret agent codenamed "Banglong" in the Four Elements Group has developed extremely well because of his special status.

With the help of a certain Japanese army lieutenant who had the grace to save his life, he monopolized 30% of the grain sales and transportation in Shimen.

In times of war, what is the most valuable commodity? Apart from food that can keep people alive, what else can there be? Even arms can only be ranked second. This money can be made faster than a money printing machine.

As the saying goes, money can make a fool of himself, and the Japanese also love money. With an army lieutenant-general-level officer as his endorsement, and money to pave the way, "Rumble" can be said to be prosperous in Shimen City, even Kawakishikawa Heavyweight generals like Saburo were guests at his home.

Of course, the purpose is not to eat this meal, but mainly to check whether this person is loyal to the sun, and to take away another 100 taels of gold.

In the Japanese-occupied areas, all Chinese people were leeks in the field, Chinese businessmen were workers who cut leeks, and the Japanese were the ones who effortlessly obtained the final fruits of their labor.

Otherwise, what do you think the land grabbing is for? Standing on the top of the mountain and looking out at the mountains, reciting poems and painting?

When Tang Dao confessed to his political director and chief of staff that the spies in the city had long used cover to dig a 200-meter-long hole under the west gate wall, he was still frowning and calculating how many casualties he would have to bear to attack the city. Director Ye's eyes were almost blinded by the light from his own group leader.

Te Liang, it's okay to have been targeting Shimen for a long time. The key is that the immortal you sent actually dug a tunnel under the eyes of the Japanese. How did you do this?

Also, are you serious about the so-called codename "Banglong"? It's too casual!

That's because Director Ye didn't know about names like 'Starscream', 'Jingvatron', and 'Bumblebee'. Tang Tuanzuo himself was called 'Optimus Prime'.

Of course, Tang Dao is not a tribute to the little iron men of Cybertron. Absolutely no one would know if this name appeared in this era. Saying that the code name can be replaced by the password, it simplifies a lot of procedures.

The tunnel was originally used for passage. Although it is not wide, it is still possible for a fully armed soldier to bend down and pass. Otherwise, why would Tang Dao keep waiting? It would be until Wu Qi Hei sent a small group of soldiers from There he entered the city, and then the inside and the outside were combined.

However, as the Second Brigade of the North China Public Security Army completely surrendered, this plan was no longer needed, and an upgraded version of the raid plan was adopted instead.

There were more than 40 people in the reconnaissance company. They entered Shimen from the second brigade's defense area and carried in 400 kilograms of explosives, which frightened Liu Zhuangfei into almost betraying him.

After all, 400 kilograms of explosives can blow a big gap in his east gate wall, and one person can destroy most of his infantry battalion.

In order to show that he led the second brigade to fight bravely, he deployed two infantry battalions at the east gate. On the north side of the city, two infantry battalions were also deployed according to Major Kawada's arrangement at night. At Major Kawada's headquarters To the north, he personally commanded two infantry battalions and a guard company to help defend the railway station and baggage warehouse!

To put it bluntly, the puppet major general who had handed over the 'signature' had already made plans. The two infantry battalions defending the east gate were destined to be cannon fodder. The two infantry battalions near Beicheng all depended on luck. Just run away, it doesn't matter if you can't run away, what he really wants to take away is Liu Fengchi's infantry battalion and the infantry battalion where the lieutenant colonel's adjutant is personally in charge, as well as his own guard company.

It was the closest to the railway. As long as the Fourth Army left a gap for him, he could take the defeated soldiers along the railway and escape to Baoding through the Hutuo River. Tang Dao even allowed him to set up a blocking position along the Hutuo River to show off. That means that even if I am defeated, I have blocked the Chinese pursuit and given the Imperial Army a glimmer of hope.

As for how many people can escape, I can't control them!

What Tang Dao said was a verbal promise. Even if he didn't believe it, he could only pretend to believe it, because there was no way out.

But this does not mean that the brigade commander, the major general of the security army, is a fool and does not leave any backup for himself.

He has more than 1,100 troops in the East Gate defensive position. Even if he is defeated, the position must be broken later than the Japanese. Otherwise, even if he escapes back to Baoding, the angry and humiliated upper-level Japanese army may not want to take advantage of him as the defeated general. Get the surgery!

The defense of the east gate is his bottom line!

Seeing the Chinese sneaking in hundreds of kilograms of high explosives, it's strange that Liu Zhuangfei couldn't blow it up!

As a result, the soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment ignored him and had no intention of planting explosives into his east gate position. Instead, they wore the uniforms of his second brigade and entered the city at night.

It seemed that the Japanese had been bombed. Liu Zhuangfei was finally relieved. He called a colonel under his command who was stationed at the East Gate and issued a fatal order to "be vigilant and guard the East Gate." He stayed away from this place of right and wrong. After receiving the report from the second lieutenant squad leader supervising the battle at the east gate, Major Kawada at the headquarters in the city finally felt more at ease.

Even though the Chinese army is besieging the city, the Shimen garrison is already in a doomed situation, but it is not without any hope.

Division commander Saburo Kawagishi and the front army chief of staff both called him personally. He only needed to hold on for two days, and the reinforcements would definitely arrive!

Saburo Kawagishi is not playing tricks. The two infantry regiments in HD are trying their best to get rid of the Chinese entanglement with the assistance of friendly forces and will definitely reach Shimen within 48 hours.

3,000 vs. 30,000, defeat is certain. If the Chinese attack in a hurry, let alone two days, if they attack overnight, they may not have a chance to see the sun tomorrow.

But it only took the Chinese one day to rush from the Niangziguan area to Shimen. It was a distance of more than 70 kilometers. Running all day must be very tiring. They haven't launched an attack yet, so they probably need to repair overnight. , didn't that buy him 10 hours?

And Major Kawada, who saw a glimmer of hope in this despair, was also a dead horse. He used to look down on the Second Brigade of the Public Security Army, but after receiving a call from his superiors, he regarded the Second Brigade as the best support for two days. An important chess piece.

4500 security troops, no matter how bad their combat effectiveness is, they can still be worth more than half of the imperial infantry brigade!

The Chinese have played the trick of "surrounding three and attacking one", which is just right and allows them to put their main force in the other two places.

There are 3,000 people in the city. In addition to the infantry brigade under his command, the other 1,700 or so people are second-line soldiers such as baggage soldiers and engineers.

Major Kawada organized more than 1,700 second-line soldiers into 7 infantry squadrons, 4 of which were responsible for entering the main positions on the west and south walls. In this way, he only had to send out two main infantry squadrons to make the troops on the west and south walls evenly distributed. Reaching more than 600 people, two infantry squads were assigned to supervise the battle of the second brigade, and then two infantry battalions of the second brigade were used to defend Beicheng where the Chinese were feinting to attack.

In this case, he still has nearly 300 main infantrymen and nearly 1,000 second-line soldiers in 3 squadrons. He can provide support to three positions at any time according to the battle situation, and even has the remaining strength to defend the baggage warehouse and train station.

After all, Shimen was the frontline supply base established by the front army half a year ago. The grain, grass and ammunition of the 200,000-strong army that attacked Jin Province were all transferred here, which was enough to last the 200,000-strong army for half a year. Most of the seizures from the front were also transported to Here it is transferred to Pingbeicheng and Jincheng.

If converted into money, that number would even make many people lose count of the number of zeros.

What if? If we can protect this batch of supplies, then it won't be difficult for a major to become a colonel! Isn't there at least one colonel position vacant in the 39th Infantry Brigade?

It can only be said that Major Kawada, who is already like a red-eyed gambler, is still dreaming of a big dream of winning a gamble and turning around completely!

But it was also because of the Japanese Army Major's crazy gamble that it completely laid the foundation for the Chinese Army's victory at Shimen!

Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang will be so distressed that he really wants to blow up supplies in advance and he won't be able to eat for several days! I don't even know how to drink wine.

The battlefield is changing rapidly. Intelligence in the city shows that the Japanese army has deployed two infantry squadrons on each of the two city walls. However, as commanders, neither Tang Dao nor Wang Xiaoqiang will arrange their troops based solely on the strength of their opponents.

No matter how many enemies there are, once you decide to fight, it is basically a lion fighting a rabbit, and you are not finished until you are slapped to death.

For example, Wang Xiaoqiang's side had two infantry regiments with nearly 5,000 people, and more than 20 large and small artillery for support. Ye Chenghuan knew that the victory was certain, but he probably wouldn't be able to break into the city within two hours.

As for the South Gate, which was mainly attacked by the First Infantry Battalion of the Four-Hong Regiment, not to mention that the number of troops was also as high as 4,000. With the tunnel dug months in advance and the 400 kilograms of explosives smuggled in by the Second Brigade of the Security Army, How long can the Japanese hold on?

Standing in a temporary bunker 800 meters outside Shimen City, looking at the earthen city walls reflected by the Japanese searchlights, Ye Chenghuan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He never thought that one day he would have the opportunity to command an army to attack such a big city, let alone that it might really be possible to attack it in one fell swoop!

Tang Dao, who was the director of the operations department of the Shimen Frontline Headquarters this time, looked at the pocket watch in his hand and said solemnly: "Heavy rain, give it to the Shimen Frontline Headquarters, the Sixth Regiment Headquarters, and the Shimen Frontline Regiments this time." The Ministry of Power generated electricity. At 8:45 pm on September 16, the 921st Division of our 80th Group Army, the 101st Division of the 22nd Group Army, the Group Army was directly under the Four Lines Regiment, and the theater was under the 17th Division, the 12th Division, and the 104th Division. The entire army would The Japanese 20th Division launched an attack at Shimen on the eastern Shanxi front.

Telegram to all Chinese officers and soldiers who participated in the war, do not be afraid of sacrifice and fight the enemy bravely. After this battle, whether you live or die, your names will be with the Chinese nation.

Long live the Chinese nation! "

“Long live the Chinese nation!” Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes flashed after receiving the telegram, and he picked up the phone: “I order all artillerymen, all Japanese defenses at the target city walls and gates, to cover all the Japanese defenses with artillery fire for ten minutes, and fire!

In addition, I issued an order to all the ministries. In this battle, no reserve troops will be left. Either the enemy will die, or we will die. Those who are good at Japan will kill the Japanese! "

"Long live the Chinese nation!" Leng Feng, who was standing on the Niangziguan Pass and looking towards Shimen, was concerned about the movements of the regiment's main force. After receiving the message handed to him by the signal corpsman behind him, Leng Feng gently closed his eyes and murmured to himself in the breeze. language.

At that moment, no one knew that underneath his calm expression, there were actually turbulent waves!

One day, he will lead an army to stand in front of the big city occupied by the Japanese army and roar, 'Fire! ' If he doesn't kill all the Japanese, he will be sorry for his younger brother and relatives.

“Long live the Chinese nation!” When the white-haired general received Tang Dao's message, his hand shook violently and his voice was firm and resolute. "In the name of the Shimen Frontline Command, I send an order to the entire army. The entire army will follow the order of Director Tang and launch an attack on the Japanese invaders on time. The entire army will follow me as the standard. Anyone who delays the opportunity will be killed; those who are afraid of fighting and do not move forward will be killed. ”

“Long live the Chinese nation!” Commander Liu and Brigadier Cheng of the 921 Division saw the message from Tang Dao under the oil lamp. They all walked out of the headquarters and stood in the cold mountain forest, looking into the distance with their hearts surging.

Has the counterattack against a big city finally begun?

“Long live the Chinese nation!” The stingy old man sent the message with the Tang Dao handed over by the fifth sister, and touched his head where the hair was getting thinner. "This guy, I annoy him most of the time, but I can't help but like him a little bit! Especially when fighting."

The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and snickered! It's like going back to girlhood.

　　Before the brilliant artillery fire bloomed, the sudden and intensive transmission of radio waves from all over the eastern Shanxi front stunned the communication officers of the Chinese and Japanese armies on duty.

The radio station is out of order?

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” 150 heavy soldiers were the first to speak, and gorgeous bullets bloomed on the city wall, thus kicking off the most glorious battle of the Jindong counterattack.

PS: The Battle of Jindong is coming to an end, brothers, come and count the votes!
