Chapter 458: No War in North China (4)

Compared with the anxious Tada Jun, Han Yunhua's current life is standard pain and happiness. Due to the rapid progress of all troops, although Zhangjiakou and eastern Hebei have not yet made breakthroughs, they have contained more than half of the strength of the North China Front, and nearly 50,000 Japanese puppet troops were stationed on the eastern Hebei side alone, especially on the Tangshan line, of which more than 20,000 were Japanese troops, and the remaining 30,000 were the backbone of the puppet Jingsui Army in North China. The Zhangjiakou front line is even more important, the three infantry divisions of the Inner Mongolia Military Region directly pinned down more than 70,000 Japanese puppet troops, including the fifth division, the most elite infantry of the Japanese army.

At present, the Japanese puppet army in the whole of North China has fallen into the encirclement of the Chinese army, and is developing towards the trend of being divided and encircled. All the Japanese puppet armies in North China were gradually divided and surrounded in several areas, forming several relatively concentrated groups. Among them, the number of Japanese puppet troops in Beijing, Tianjin, Tang and Zhangjiakou areas is the largest, and this group is also the largest, among which the surrounded Japanese puppet army is as high as about 250,000, and the number of Japanese puppet troops trapped on the battlefield in Shanxi is also quite large, not to mention 200,000 people, but the vast majority are puppet troops. In addition, there are about 100,000 Japanese puppet troops stationed in the Shimen area, and the Japanese puppet army in Shandong is the smallest, with less than 70,000 people, of course, the number of Chinese troops in Shandong is not much, and the first field division under Han Yunhua is only 8 or 90,000 people.

The war in North China has just lasted less than a week before a major change has taken place, first of all, the Japanese puppet army in the northwest of Jin Province can almost be said to have fled without a fight, under the fierce attack of tens of thousands of people under Han Yunhua's department, the more than 20,000 Japanese puppet troops stationed in the northwest of Jin Province were almost completely annihilated, and only a few thousand people fled back to Wuning and Shuo County. Immediately after Han Yunhua's heavy troops besieged the Datong defensive circle carefully managed by Takagi Yoshiren, before the war, it was claimed that it could withstand the attack of 100,000 Chinese troops for 3 months without any problems, but only resisted for only 3 days and had to ask the front army headquarters for help, and in a shorter period of time by the Chinese army broke through the city fortifications of Datong City, the main force was annihilated, and only less than 20,000 people were left to be surrounded in the center of Datong City.

When the news of the destruction of Datong Castle reached Nanjing, General Nishio Shouzo was shocked and immediately convened an emergency military meeting to ask the General Staff to immediately draw up a rescue plan. Although the staff of the Japanese army was a mess, they still burst out with amazing potential in this situation, and in just two hours they drew up a rescue plan, according to which reinforcements with a total strength of three divisions and one independent mixed brigade led by the commander of the 11th Army, Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji, immediately set out from Wuhan and went straight to the Shanxi battlefield through Henan.

However, this time, because Yan Xishan and General Wei Lihuang were contributing, Chiang Kai-shek was also a rare wise time, and he saw the opportunity and ordered Xue Yue's First Corps to immediately send troops to Henan, and it was necessary to intercept Okamura Ningci's headquarters in the first theater, and absolutely not let these more than 60,000 Japanese elites enter the Shanxi battlefield.

After receiving the information from Qian Zhuangfei's intelligence department, Han Yunhua learned that about 60,000 reinforcements from Okamura Ningci's department had left Wuhan and were now fighting with Xue Yue's First Corps in Henan.

Takagi Yoshito is also very good, although he did not prevent Han Yunhua's troops from entering the city, but he built more than a dozen strong defense lines in the city center. Even his own headquarters was more than ten meters underground, so that several special combat teams sent by Han Yunhua all returned with heavy losses.

What made Han Yunhua feel most depressed was that even if the infantry regiment commander who was lurking in the Japanese puppet army took control of the arsenal of Yoshito Takagi at the first time, the Japanese army's ammunition was still sufficient in the past two days, and the plan of the Fourth Field Division and other troops to exhaust the Japanese army's ammunition died before it was implemented. …,

Although the Japanese army left in the city of Datong had nearly 10,000 Japanese expatriates, and the real elite infantry was only more than 9,000 people, Takagi Yoshito rationally reorganized these expatriates and his own elite soldiers, and in a short period of time, they also broke out with strong combat effectiveness. In addition, the terrain of the urban area is narrow, which is not suitable for large corps to fight at all, so for a while, Han Yunhua had no way to take the 20,000 people of Takagi Yoshito.

Originally, according to Han Yunhua's plan, he used poison gas bombs to completely destroy those little devils humanely, but Qian Zhuangfei told Han Yunhua that there was also a secret prison for Chinese political prisoners in Datong City, which held several big figures in the party.

Although Han Yunhua did not know who was detained by the Japanese army in Datong Prison, there was no record of these incidents in history, and even if there were, it was not something that Han Yunhua could access at that level at that time. However, he knows very well about Li Kenong in Qian Zhuangfei's mouth, and in official words, Li Kenong is a long-tested proletarian leader, an outstanding social activist, a diplomat, and an outstanding leader and organizer of the hidden front of our party and army.

But in Han Yunhua's eyes, he may be an intelligence expert who is far more shrewd than Qian Zhuangfei, and even more shrewd than Dai Li of the Military Command Bureau of the National Government. Both Qian Zhuangfei and Dai Li established their respective intelligence systems under relatively good and favorable circumstances, but Li Kenong did work on the party's secret front for a long time under extremely harsh conditions, and also achieved major results, and his leadership and professional skills can be imagined.

Since Li Kenong and Han Yunhua were mentioned, they had to pay attention to it, and as soon as he was mentioned, he would involve the party's secret front, so Han Yunhua had no choice but to cancel the plan to kill the devil with poison gas bombs.

However, soon Han Yunhua thought of a new battle plan, and ordered the Fourth Field Division, which had the strongest combat effectiveness on the Datong front, to cooperate with his guard regiment to carry it out.

"Nakamura, when will the reinforcements arrive?" In the basement, Yoshito Takagi asked with chapped lips, although there was no food and drink in the headquarters, and the ammunition was sufficient, but he couldn't help being anxious, and when he was anxious, he was easy to get angry.

Nakamura Daisa, the chief of staff of the Takagi Division, said with a bitter face: "Your Excellency, what reinforcements are there, the front army has only sent us one support army from beginning to end, but this support army was stubbornly blocked by the Eighth Road of China and Natu not long after leaving Taiyuan City, and even the railway was demolished for more than ten kilometers overnight, so the reinforcements of His Excellency Anda did not want to reach Datong in half a month." ”

"Baga, all the rice buckets, Tada Jun, that nerd has no strategic vision at all, he has long suggested that he should guard against the counterattack of Han Yunhua's subordinates, the sinner of that empire didn't react at all, he only knew how to slaughter the farmers of China, what to say to completely eradicate the survival soil of the Eighth Route Army of China, bullshit, there are so many people in China, killing is inexhaustible, that fool's slaughter policy has made nine out of ten people in China become dirt and eight roads, not to mention stupidity, it is simply stupid" Yoshito Takagi hysterically counted Tada Jun's crimes, He had had enough of it in the past few days, and the anger in his heart finally couldn't help but explode.

Nakamura Daisa smiled bitterly and listened to Yoshito Takagi scolding those senior officers of the front army headquarters like crazy, he couldn't interject a word, let alone interject, otherwise, even if he could escape the blow of the Chinese army afterwards, he would not be able to escape the clean-up of Tada Jun and others.

After stopping for a while, Takagi Yoshishi regained his original calm, and asked helplessly: "Nakamura, how many weapons and ammunition does the imperial army still have, and how long can the food last?" ”…,

"On the premise of not using the secret arsenal, the ammunition held by the imperial army can last for about eight days, and there is not much food, but the amount of five days is still there, and the water is enough, and there is no problem at all in holding on for half a month. But if the Chinese attack with special smoke, we have no way at all, and now the arsenal of the imperial army has been occupied by the Chinese people, so there are not enough gas masks to support the imperial army in battle. ”

"Nakamura-kun, don't worry, the people of China will not use special cigarettes, they have scruples, there are not only many important prisoners of the original Communist Party of China in the prison, but also more than 1,000 ordinary people in China. Nakamura-kun, tomorrow you release some of the ordinary people of China, and let Han Yunhua know that there are still so many ordinary people of China imprisoned here, I think Han Yunhua will definitely not use poison gas bombs, even if he originally planned to do this, he would stop immediately. Yoshito Takagi said with a look of certainty.

"Your Excellency, even if this is the case, we can't rush out, we have been paying attention to the movements of the Shina people for the past two days, and now in addition to the Sasaki Wing is still insisting on resisting, the imperial army and the imperial alliance army in the surrounding counties of Datong have all been wiped out by the North China people, and according to the information sent to our army by Tegaoke, at least these more than 100,000 Shina troops are stationed here, Your Excellency, we have no hope" Nakamura Osa said very pessimistically.

Since there were only Nakamura and himself in the command room now, Yoshito Takagi looked at Nakamura, then sighed and said, "Nakamura-kun, if I heard this sentence a week ago, I would have shot you directly, and I wouldn't even give you the opportunity to cut my stomach." But now I'm not prepared to punish you, because you're right. The people of China are no longer the people of China three years ago, they have a god of war, a god of war who can defeat the most heroic field division of the empire even if he commands a group of farmers with hoes, the empire is not engaged in holy war, but has woken up an ancient giant who is sleeping, and the ancient giant who has awakened will be reduced and completely torn apart, but unfortunately many people in the Japanese Imperial Army have not understood, and although you and I have understood it, it is already too late. Nakamura, give me three days, if the Imperial Army does not succeed in breaking through within three days, you will surrender with the rest of the soldiers."

The last few words of Yoshito Takagi are very difficult, he is a more rational officer, he has reached the retirement age, he should retire within this year or two, but this hateful war made him continue to stay in the army and serve in the army. Originally, he had made an appointment with his wife, and after he retired, they would go to Hokkaido to accompany his parents as fishermen for the rest of their lives, and dedicate the rest of their time to their families and parents, but now it seems that his hope is extremely slim, and at this moment Takagi Yoshito was stunned, staring blankly into the distance, as if he was going to pass through this dark wall until the far east, where the sun rose in the east

Beginning on December 2, the Japanese troops who were surrounded in Datong City suddenly became manic, and under the command of the officer, they launched a counter-charge towards the position of the Fourth Field Division regardless of life and death.

For three days in a row, the Japanese army launched a counterattack against Han Yunhua's department like crazy, this kind of fighting style of life and death really scared Han Yunhua a lot, this is not a war at all, but an exchange of human lives, almost a soldier killed by Han Yunhua's department, and three soldiers of the Japanese army will be killed, although the casualty ratio is very uncontrasting, but Takagi Yoshito didn't care at all, and still ordered the troops to attack. …,

Han Yunhua was really scared by this style of play of the Japanese army, if Takagi Yoshito continued to do this, more than 20,000 Japanese troops would have to fight him at least 6,000 elites, this deal is not worth it, you must know that the people who surrounded the Japanese army this time are the elites of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and every soldier of the Fourth Field Division is a veteran who has killed people on the battlefield, which is the essence of Han Yunhua's department, and the loss of one Han Yunhua will make Han Yunhua feel sorry for the old man for a long time, and the casualties of 6,000 people will definitely make Han Yunhua crazy. Therefore, after several considerations, Han Yunhua decided to gradually expand the encirclement, and the smaller the encirclement, the less conducive it was to annihilate the Japanese army.

But soon Han Yunhua knew that he had made a mistake in judgment, and the Japanese army had no intention of fighting to the death with the Fourth Field Division at all, but at the first time when Han Yunhua's headquarters retreated, the whole army launched a breakthrough attack on the Chinese army in Nancheng District like a flood. Soon the remaining 13,000 Japanese troops broke through the four lines of defense of the Fourth Field Division, and there was only less than a kilometer left from the city gate, and the Japanese army broke through the siege in sight.

But at this time, hundreds of swarthy cannons appeared at the city gate and around them, and soon opened fire on the Japanese troops who rushed over, hundreds of huge explosive bags suddenly appeared above the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and some even exploded in volleys, and the hundreds of Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front all fell to the ground without even screaming, some were directly killed, but more were stunned.

And what happened next made Yoshito Takagi, who was in a slightly better mood, feel cold, only to see dozens of armored vehicles suddenly appear in front of the Japanese army, and the explosive bags in the sky are still moving forward, and the soldiers who rushed to the front fell one by one, like the wheat that had been cut down.

Yoshito Takagi's eyes were red, although he knew that being a good commander of an iron-blooded general was a necessary quality for him, but his heart was broken to watch his soldiers being slaughtered like this. And it seems that the Chinese army's initiative to retreat was originally a trap, looking at the clear and open shooting field that was swept around, you can know that the people of China had premeditated, and they also stupidly took the initiative to rush in, how can the word "stupid" be.

In fact, Takagi Yoshito really "wronged" Han Yunhua this time, he didn't expect Takagi Yoshito's luck to be so bad, originally he was worried that the casualties of the troops would outweigh the losses, so he ordered the troops to retreat, and then he was caught off guard by the Japanese army It was also unexpected, he didn't expect that Takagi Yoshito would abandon the strong fortifications and take the initiative to break through, in Han Yunhua's opinion, sticking to the backup is what Takagi Yoshito should do.

But Takagi Yoshito's luck was too bad, originally today was the time when Han Yunhua transferred 150 unconscionable cannons from the military region to Datong, after receiving the news of the Japanese army's breakthrough from the front, Han Yunhua had an idea, and ordered the soldiers on the front line to let the Japanese army move forward, guide them to the southern city gate that had just been leveled, and then gathered all the conscienceless cannons and all the artillery on the Datong front, just waiting for Takagi Yoshito to send them to the door.

The effect of the shelling was obviously beyond Han Yunhua's expectations, and more than 13,000 Japanese troops lost more than half of the shelling for a whole hour. Although the range of the conscienceless cannon is short, the power is indeed not small, not to mention the Japanese army without any protection in the past, even the Japanese army hiding in the strong city fortifications or even the pillbox will be directly stunned.

Then the back road has been cut off, when Takagi Yoshito was about to order the troops to return to the city center to continue to resist, but found that the back road had been cut off by the Chinese army, and the infantry brigade that stayed in the city center to confuse Han Yunhua and the infantry brigade in charge of the palace had all been shattered, and for a time the Takagi division could not advance or retreat, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of December 2, news came from the Japanese position that the remnants of the Takagi Division surrendered to Han Yunhua's headquarters under the leadership of the division's chief of staff, Nakamura Taro Osa, and the commander of the Takagi Division, Lieutenant General Takagi Yoshito, had shot himself half an hour earlier.

Forcing the Takagi Division to surrender, Han Yunhua had not thought about this possibility before, but after fighting with the old devil Takagi Yoshito for more than three years, Han Yunhua thought that it was almost impossible, which old devil like this is not a stubborn will to fight, and he will hardly take the lives of his soldiers seriously, no matter how many losses he has, he will not be heartbroken, not to mention that now there are less than 10,000 regular soldiers in his hands, and the rest are some Japanese expatriates. But the development of things is such ups and downs, after more than a week of tragic fighting, the Japanese army Takagi Division finally did not choose to die collectively, but chose to surrender, which made Han Yunhua feel a lot of emotion......,
