Chapter 123: Defeat

The defeat was overwhelming, and the 29th Army was finally defeated. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The road to Beiping is only four or five meters wide, and on both sides of the road is a green gauze tent that is more than one person high and cannot see the edge.

And the road has now become a mess, soldiers in gray uniforms, cars and wagons pulling military supplies are squeezing and colliding with each other, and there are many villagers and people in the rear along the way.

These people originally came to comfort the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army in Nanyuan, carrying steamed buns on their shoulders, pushing sour plum soup with carts, and pulling watermelons with donkey carts.

But I never thought that these condolences had not yet arrived at the front line of condolences, and the 29th Army had already been defeated, and now it could only squeeze on this dirt road with the soldiers and retreat in the direction of Beiping.

Wu Hongyu moved his legs with difficulty like a puppet with difficulty with the flow of people, depressed and physically and mentally exhausted, but his big knife was not lost, he had wiped off the blood stains and carried it behind him, while he was holding a rifle in his hand that he didn't know where to pick up, and a bullet bag was wrapped around his waist.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the person walking in front of him was a little familiar, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, the officer with broad shoulders and broad back looked like the brigade commander Huo who he had begged for a gun.

At this time, the officer who turned his face sideways to talk to Brigade Commander Huo still had a piercing scar on his face, this is also a character that makes Wu Hongyu remember deeply, there must be no mistake, the person in front of him must be Brigade Commander Huo!

Huo Yuan looked at the backs of the soldiers who were squeezing forward in front of him, and then looked back at the faces of the ownerless, he couldn't help frowning, his heart was full of helpless frustration, he didn't notice that the young soldier who followed him was a student who had asked him for a gun.

Originally, as a brigade commander, he still had a black car of his own, but seeing that the enemy was pursuing fiercely and his troops were very disorganized, he did not take the car, but tried to retreat in an orderly manner, but failed.

In fact, this can't be all blamed on the soldiers, once Huo Yuan had stopped the soldiers' retreat, and was about to form an army, but the devil's plane came, and several rounds of machine gun fire and several rounds of bombs were dropped, and the narrow road was once again full of flesh and blood.

The soldiers were quite calm, could listen to the greeting of the commander, and lay down on the spot, but those ordinary people who came to **** had never seen such a formation, running east and west, so the team that had just formed was disrupted again.

How could the Twenty-ninth Army be defeated like this?

Huo Yuan reflected, just as he said when he sent Xiao Shanzi to the Central Military Academy, he couldn't beat the little devil with white-knuckle combat alone.

But he also planted a big fight on this issue, always thinking that he had defeated the little devil in white-knuckle combat during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and he still had a contempt for the little devil.

First of all, there was a lack of preparation before the war, especially on the 11th, after learning that a new armistice agreement had been reached with the Japanese army, he still followed the orders of the division headquarters and lowered the level of preparedness, so that he was caught off guard by the Japanese army when he had not yet built a strong fortification.

Secondly, the Japanese army's individual combat ability, superb tactics, and ferocious firepower all caught him by surprise. It can be said that except for the soldiers of their brigade and even the entire 29th Army in white-knuckle warfare, they lost to the Japanese army in other aspects!

Let's talk about the individual combat capability of the Japanese army first.

The marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers was so accurate that when they were still six or seven hundred meters away, the cold guns of the Japanese infantry made the soldiers of the 29th Army on the position tremble.

The range of the Japanese soldiers' 38 Dagai far exceeded that of the rifles in the hands of the 29th Army, and the trajectory was stable and the accuracy was very high.

The general shooting level of the Japanese soldiers was comparable to that of the outstanding shooters in each company of their brigade, and many veterans who fought with themselves in the Great Wall War of Resistance were defeated by the cold guns of the devils before the enemy entered their effective firing range.

He undoubtedly made a mistake in experience, the terrain of the Pingjin area was by no means the mountainous area of Gufengkou, and the shooting ability of the Japanese soldiers was brought into full play when the field of vision was wide.

Let's talk about the ferocity of the Japanese firepower.

Needless to say, the 29th Army itself did not have a single plane, and when the devil's plane came, it could only be bombed, and in the absence of a solid bunker, the casualties of the troops could be imagined.

The 29th Army also lacked effective weapons to deal with devil armored vehicles, and mortar shells hitting tanks were by no means its strong point, and whether it was a light machine gun or a heavy machine gun, hitting the armor of an armored vehicle, in addition to making a little squad, it was even more helpless against the iron guy, and its own soldiers, including themselves, lacked an effective way to deal with armored vehicles.

And the devil's tactical awareness is far beyond Huo Yuan's understanding of charging in the positions formed in the country.

The front of the position of the main force of their brigade was first attacked by the devils, and the attacking devils were divided into two parts, marched under cross-cover, and reached a position that was convenient for concealment and easy to charge.

Just as Huo Yuan ordered the mortar company to counterattack, the attack of the Japanese troops who came from both sides came first.

The fire of these two Japanese troops was so fierce that the mortars with a range of more than 800 meters first overturned their mortar positions, and then the heavy machine gun positions were hit with near destruction.

When the commander of the main regiment commanded some of the soldiers in the trenches to divide their troops to defend the enemy on both sides, he was hit by a shot from the Japanese army's cold gunners.

Then, the Japanese attacking from the front used large-caliber artillery to plow all the exposed heavy fire points of the 29th Army with artillery fire.

At this time, the devils in the front direction launched a charge at a hundred meters under the cover of the tank, and in the face of the swarming Japanese troops, although their own soldiers relied on broadswords and white-knuckle battles to block several waves of attacks by the devils, most of the soldiers had been killed and wounded.

Judging from Huo Yuan's observations, the number of Japanese troops attacking on the opposite side was only a brigade

(1,100 people), which is equivalent to the number of your own battalion.

But the position of the main regiment where he was located did not hold out for even a day, and was disabled by the Japanese army.

This is the main regiment of the 29th Army, not a student military training regiment!

Thinking of the student military training regiment, Huo Yuan felt that his heart was stinging again, those soldiers were originally just children, children the size of his mountain, with no guns in their hands, only grenades and large blades, resisting the wolf-like devils with flesh and blood, and the casualty ratio was almost ten to one.

At that time on the battlefield, retreat was the only choice, but I didn't expect that it was not only my own brigade that retreated, but also the entire Nanyuan defense line of the 29th Army had collapsed under the sharp attack of the Japanese army.

Nanyuan, just south of Beiping, is the south gate of Beiping.

If Wanping City is the lock of the southern gate of Beiping, and the Lugou Bridge is the key to unlocking the lock, then Nanyuan is the pivot of this gate. (To be continued.) )
