The commander of the new 10th Brigade Fan ordered two regiments to launch a general attack on the Sangzhang Bridge, and the soldiers suddenly rushed out of the position with guns in their hands under the cover of night, and rushed to the Sangzhang Bridge Station with guns and shouts.
Sangzhang station is more than 50 meters away from the bridge, six forts and four hidden forts are built around the station, and a minefield of more than ten meters wide is laid outside the fort and the outer five meters of the fort, and several barbed wire fences are laid outside the minefield to form a solid defense line for the station and the bridge.
The soldiers of the New 10th Brigade braved the enemy's bullets and bullets to bravely pounce on the Devil's Fortress, and under the enemy's powerful firepower, the soldiers who rushed to the front were shot and fell down one after another.
Three consecutive strong attacks, but failed to break through the devil's defense line, and was blocked by Japanese firepower on the periphery of the fortified fortress group, and the battlefield situation formed a stalemate.
Brigade Commander Fan of the New 10th Brigade directed the troops to launch another general attack against the powerful firepower of the Japanese fortress group in Sangzhang.
The leader of the devil squadron who was sticking to Sangzhang Station and Bridge, in the face of the powerful offensive of the New Tenth Brigade, did not dare to slack off, rushed to the telephone, grabbed the phone and shouted: "Report to Dazuo, Sangzhang Station and Bridge Position have been attacked by the firepower of the main force of Tubalu, and I ask for reinforcements quickly." ”
The commander of the Devil's Wing immediately reported to General Hino, the commander of the 180th Division, that during this period, the Zhengtai Road, which he was responsible for defending, was attacked by the Eighth Route Army from time to time.
At this time, I heard that the Sangzhang Bridge and the station, which are related to Zhengtai Road and the safety of the important pass, were attacked by the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and once the Sangzhang Bridge was destroyed, General Okamura Ninji would unceremoniously send him to the military headquarters for disposal.
The commander of the Hino Division grabbed the phone in horror and dialed the phone of Major General Ikeda, the commander of the Japanese Shijiazhuang Aviation, and said in a stern but with a requesting order: "General Hechi, the positions held by the Imperial Japanese Army at the Sangzhang Bridge and the station are being attacked by the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army at this time, and I order you to immediately send a group of fighters to rush to the aid as quickly as possible, please, please." ”
Major General Ikeda shook his head with a walkie-talkie in his hand and said: "The commander of the Hino Division, the fighter group at the airport, has all been deployed along the North China Railway and Highway to carry out air strikes with the main force of the Eighth Route Army that is attacking the lines of communication. ”
"Kawachi-kun, the Sangzhang Bridge has a great relationship with our Japanese army in North China, once it is lost or destroyed, I am afraid that Commander Okamura will be severely held accountable, and I ask Ikeda-kun to find a way to send planes to reinforce it, even if it is not a fighter group, there is a fighter plane rushing to help, it will thwart the powerful firepower attack of the Eighth Route Army, I Hino asks again, everything please."
Major General Kawaike listened to Lieutenant General Hino's words and secretly blamed, if he didn't send fighter jets to help, once the Sangzhang Bridge was destroyed, he, the major general of the Air Force, would also be held accountable, he weighed it again and again, and had to say: "Hino-kun, I, Ikeda, can only take the risk of sending a fighter plane to help, if the airport is attacked by the Eighth Route Army, causing a big strategic mistake, Hino-kun will take responsibility for my Ikeda, can you agree?" ”
At this time, he knew that Major General Ikeda of the Air Force was putting pressure on him, but he could not be masculine, so he had to agree: "Ikeda-kun, as long as you can send fighter planes to reinforce the Battle of Sangzhang Bridge, all the consequences will be borne by I, Hino, and I beg Your Excellency the General to send fighter planes to help immediately, please." ”
A Japanese fighter jet roared off the runway, accelerating, continuing to accelerate, and suddenly the nose of the plane was raised, and the fighter plane left the ground and went straight into the sky.
At this time, the New 10th Brigade, which had launched more than a dozen of the most fierce attacks on the Sangzhang Bridge and the Japanese positions at the station, was about to break through the forward positions of the devils, when suddenly a Japanese fighter plane circled from a high altitude and suddenly dived over the positions of the New 10th Brigade, dropped a few war bombs and took off again.
Several aircraft bombs exploded at the positions of the New 10 th Brigade, and they were attacking the enemy's positions with firepower, but they were indiscriminately bombed by devil planes, and the fighters fell in pools of blood, bringing unprecedented risks to the New 10 Brigade in the battle of attacking the Japanese bridgehead and railway station.
The commander of the new 10th Brigade saw the strong fortress of the Japanese army, and the firepower became more intense, coupled with the aerial fire attack of the Japanese fighters, which caused great fire pressure on the entire attack.
The general offensive launched by the Eighth Route Army on the entire Zhengtai Road and various railway lines was in full swing, and the battle was very fierce.
The right column and the central column of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, from the Jingcheng section in the southeast to the capture of Niangzi Pass, to the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region in the west, carried out the raid on the Liaotong line between Shouyang and Yuci, and frequently reported good news, but the new 10 th Brigade attacked the Sangzhang Campaign, but there was no breakthrough.
The battle had been going on for seven hours, and it was already three o'clock in the morning, and the Sangzhang Bridge and the station position had not yet been overcome, and the commander of the New 10th Brigade, who was standing in the command post and commanding the battle, angrily grabbed the hat on his head in his hands and gave the order to the two subordinate regiments to attack again.
This was already the 14th offensive, and the troops braved the enemy's artillery fire and light and heavy weapons blockade, and under the unfavorable situation of bombardment by enemy planes, they once again launched a strong attack on the enemy position held by the devils.
With the strong firepower support of the New 10th Brigade, the soldiers bravely took the lead and launched the most fierce attack on the enemy's position with indomitable courage, but under the enemy's strong firepower, the attack was again frustrated, and the battle did not stop.
The enemy planes circled over the sky for a while, perhaps running out of fuel, or having been empty of bombs and other ammunition, and at the end of the last bombardment, they suddenly pulled up and roared away from the sky over the Sangzhang Bridge, and soon disappeared.
The leader of the devil squadron who was stuck in the Sangzhang Bridge and the station, found that the troops of the Eighth Route Army had stopped attacking, and he sneered and said: "The Tubalu is not good, the battle has been going on for more than seven hours, and there is no step forward to my position, at this time the truce, I should have fled and left the Sangzhang position, hahaha, my squadron has achieved a record that I am proud of, and I will immediately report to the wing commander and report the victory of Sangzhang." ”
Just as the captain of the devil squadron sent a report of great victory to Shangfeng, suddenly the Eighth Route Army launched a general attack again, and the firepower of this attack was stronger than any other.
The leader of the devil squadron roared arrogantly: "The people of the Dirt Eight Road do not know whether they are alive or dead, and order all the Ming Forts, Hidden Forts and other affiliated positions to repel the attack of the Soil Eight Roads with the most fierce firepower, as long as the Dirt Eight Roads close to the position, I will all die." ”
The New 10th Brigade organized an attack again, but was repelled by the powerful firepower of the devils, and the commander of the New 10th Brigade, who was already extremely angry, rushed out of the command post, braved the enemy's dense bullets, quickly came to the forward position, ordered the troops to stop the strong attack, and waited for the order.
Brigade Commander Fan lay on the front of the position, and saw the dark night sky, the stars were sparse and the moon was dark, and the railroad tracks were like two black lines, extending to both ends.
The barbed wire fence is densely layered, and the Ming Fort and the Hidden Fort are like man-eating monsters, exerting obscenity and intimidating the New Tenth Brigade.
The commander of the 13th Regiment approached Brigade Commander Fan and said: "Brigade Commander, the little devil is in the Sangzhang Bridge and the fortress deployed at the station, the firepower is strong, relying on the tactics of the sea of people to attack, it is undoubtedly a child's play with the lives of the soldiers, I think I will immediately organize a death commando, under the cover of our brigade's firepower, forcibly break through, once the devil's position has not been conquered by dawn, I am afraid that if you attack again, the casualties will be greater." ”
Brigade Commander Fan frowned, he didn't think about this method, but he could organize a death-daring commando team of dozens of people, once he rushed to the devil's powerful firepower network, I am afraid that before he rushed to him, he would all be killed.
At this moment, the leader of the devil squadron saw that the Eighth Route Army had not moved for a long time, and ordered a squad of devils to walk out of the fortress with a gun in hand, and cautiously walked towards the position of the New Tenth Brigade step by step, the purpose of which was to reconnoiter whether the troops of the Eighth Route Army had retreated.
Brigade Commander Fan saw thirty or forty little devils walking out of the devil's fortress, and one by one the devils were scary, exploring the way step by step, for fear of being attacked by the fire of the Eighth Route Army, which had not yet retreated.
The thirteenth regiment commander said in a low voice: "Brigade Commander Fan, thirty little devils are coming towards us, did they shoot and eliminate this group of mongrels?" ”
"Don't move blindly, listen to my orders in all actions, order the troops to pay attention to concealment, and don't alarm the devils who come over." Brigade Commander Fan gave an order in a low voice, and at the same time lay down and hid into the position.
The cunning little devil walked out of the fortress not far away, and had not yet left the barbed wire fence on the periphery of the position, when he suddenly stopped moving, some looked around with guns, and some squatted on the ground holding guns, waiting for the order to return.
