Chapter 564: Annihilation of the 63rd Wing of the Devil
At this time, in the Pingxing Pass, the commander of the 63rd Wing of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, Fukuei Zhenhei Dasa, was in the temporary station in the pass to command the Japanese troops at the command post to assemble, preparing to leave the east of the Kanto in 10 minutes and march towards the base of the new 1st Regiment in Hengshan.
Due to the fact that the commander of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isotani, and dozens of officers of the division headquarters below the head of the General of Staff, Tsutsuki Bujiagui Osa, and other divisions were defeated by the new regiment, at this time, only the 10th Wing and the 63rd Wing of the Japanese 10th Division were stationed in Dai County and Xinkou.
Yoshio Shinozuka knew that the 21st Brigade of Seishiro Itagaki had suffered heavy casualties in several previous battles with the New First Regiment, and that there were only about 4,000 soldiers and horses left in his department at this time. Therefore, in order to be able to conquer the Hengshan base area in one fell swoop, he specially ordered the headquarters of the 63rd Wing of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Daixian to march to the Hengshan base area, preparing to join the Japanese army of Seishiro Itagaki to carry out a general attack on the Hengshan base area after being ready, so as to break the backbone of the new regiment.
At this time, in the temporary wing headquarters of the 63rd Wing in the Pingxing Pass, the old devil Fukuei Zhenhei Dazuo ordered the Japanese officers of all departments under his command to go back and prepare to assemble the troops and set off.
"Knock knock!" Outside the closed door of the 63rd Wing Headquarters, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the old devil Fukuei Zhenpei Dasa, who was ordering the Japanese officers under his command to prepare to go out to assemble troops and go out of the customs, was interrupted, and his heart was suddenly unhappy.
"What's the matter?" Furong Zhenping said angrily.
I only heard a devil staff officer outside the door say urgently: "Your Excellency Osa, Your Excellency Commander Shinozuka is in an emergency!" ”。
"Come in!" As soon as Fukuei Zhenpei heard that it was Yoshio Shinozuka's urgent call, he immediately stopped pretending to be forced and said loudly.
Soon, I saw the devil staff officer knocking on the door hurriedly came in and handed a telegram to Furong Zhenping!
"Your Excellency Osa, Your Excellency Commander Shinozuka, what is this urgent call?" Hideta Okada, the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army, asked out loud.
Furong Zhenping carefully looked at the urgent telegram sent by Yoshio Shinozuka, his eyes suddenly became solemn, and said: "The latest news, His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace has been confirmed to have been captured by Li Yunlong's subordinates, and then cut off his head and hung it at the head of Miyuan City. Now that His Royal Highness the Prince has been killed in battle, Commander Shinozuka ordered our troops to immediately leave the customs and march to the base area of the new 1st Regiment of Hengshan, and join the rest of the 21st Brigade under the command of the commander of the Itagaki Seishiro Division as soon as possible, and then carry out a general attack on the Hengshan base area as soon as possible! His Majesty already knew the news that His Royal Highness Prince Hatohiko had died in battle, and he was very angry! ”。
"Then Your Excellency, we need to dispatch as soon as possible!" The captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade, Hideta Okada, said solemnly, and his heart was also very shocked for a moment.
You know, the new group has killed the three princes of the scale country before. Now with the addition of Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace, that is, to be the four princes of the scale country, it is conceivable that Okada Hideta's heart is already very jealous of the new group. When did this kind of powerful squadron emerge?
"Order all troops, in five minutes, prepare to get out of the customs!" Furong Zhenping waved his hand and ordered with a serious expression.
The Japanese officers of the 63rd Wing present stood up one after another and said, "Haiyi, Your Excellency Dazuo!" He immediately went out and commanded the respective Japanese troops to assemble and prepare to go east out of Pingxingguan.
Fukuei Shinpei Osa also got up and walked out of the room where the temporary headquarters conference room was located and walked out the door.
It's just that suddenly, in the air, there were bursts of low whistling sounds, which made the old devil very creepy to hear!
"Woohoo!" The piercing whistling sound was getting closer and closer, and Furong Zhenping suddenly realized something as he listened.
"Bagaya Road, shelling !!"
This kind of voice, the old devil finally heard something. I saw Furong Zhenping look up and look up, only to see black dots, in the dripping snowflakes, smashed down into the Pingxing Pass.
In the midst of the whistling, there were cannonballs. At least the shells of infantry guns, with a caliber of at least about seventy millimeters.
Without waiting for the old devil's miserable order, the Japanese troops assembled in the pass scattered and lay down, and the whistling shells exploded down with a long tail flame.
In the midst of the explosion, the Pingxing Pass where the shells were blown up was assembling at this time, and under the command of the respective Japanese officers, they were preparing to march out of the Pingxing Pass in an orderly manner. The shells exploded one by one, and in an instant, corpses were all over the field, and the stumps and severed arms were blown up everywhere
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!!! ”
The shells exploded at the pass, and at this time, the infantry brigades of the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army were already assembled and were preparing to step out of the pass. Even some Japanese officers, like Fukuei Shinpei, heard something bad and shouted orders to order the Japanese soldiers under their command to hide. It's just that it's too late, and the shells are whistling, and one after another the shells hit the ground and explode, and the fragments of the shells are flying in all directions.
The Japanese soldiers were bombed one by one, screaming again and again, and the Japanese soldiers in the middle of the concentration, one shell was enough to take away a dozen or dozens of Japanese soldiers.
At that scene, the old devil Fukuei Zhenhei was dumbfounded.
"Hide! Eight Ga Ya Road! A few minutes later, Fukuei Shinpei came back to his senses and shouted to order the Japanese guards around him to go out and give orders to hide.
It's just that there were loud explosions in the pass at this time, and Furong Zhenping shouted that he was almost completely drowned out by the loud explosion.
The headquarters of the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army, which was suddenly bombarded, was bombed in an instant, and suffered heavy casualties. In particular, at this time, it was Wang Chengzhu, the artillery captain of the new regiment, who concentrated at least nine Type 92 infantry guns, more than 10 mortars carrying light 80 mm caliber, and various captured Japanese grenadiers and other light infantry artillery weapons.
At this time, the 63rd Wing of the Japanese Army in Pingxing Pass and the Japanese troops originally stationed at the pass totaled more than 4,200 people. This fierce shelling caused even greater casualties among the assembled Japanese troops in the narrow pass. After all, if a shell falls and explodes, it can kill more than a dozen Japanese soldiers!
Fukuei Zhenpei Daisa did not wait to recover at this time, and after five or six minutes, the shelling did not stop. Some Japanese soldiers hurriedly reported to the old devil that the logistics baggage unit was hit by enemy artillery fire, most of the supplies of the baggage unit were blown up, and the ammunition supplied by the logistics army was almost completely destroyed.
A few minutes later, a new regiment and a reinforced battalion on the east and west sides of Pingxing Pass attacked strongly, and some troops had already entered the pass.
"Bagaya Road, is it possible that my 63rd Wing has been surrounded and annihilated by unknown enemy troops in Pingxing Pass?" The situation of their respective battles continued to reach Furong Zhenping's ears, and the old devil was suddenly stunned by the sudden attack, and muttered to himself in his heart.
