[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 922: Itagaki goes into battle (ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

On September 4, after a week's offensive, the Japanese army had successively broken through the eleven lines of defense set up by the Eighth Route Army outside Zhangjiakou City, and the battle line was infinitely close to Zhangjiakou City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The attack for a week has caused huge casualties to both the offensive and the defensive, for which the North China Front has increased its troops in Zhangjiakou twice in a week, and now the number of Japanese troops gathered in the periphery of Zhangjiakou has reached more than 90,000 people, in addition to the 10th Division, the 35th Division and the 3rd Chariot Division, there is also the 5th Division, the absolute main force of the North China Front, in addition to the 110th Division and the 26th Division have also been transferred to the Zhangjiakou front.

Due to the large casualties of the troops, Seishiro Itagaki directly took over the command of the front line and commanded the more than 90,000 troops on the periphery of Zhangjiakou nearby.

And Itagaki Seishiro was also a master, under his command the Japanese casualties were much smaller, and the speed of breaking through the positions of the Eighth Route Army was much faster.

Itagaki Seishiro's command ability quickly convinced the senior Japanese officers on the Zhangjiakou front, and unlike their old and backward tactics, Itagaki Seishiro attacked in a variety of ways, and the offensive methods were extremely ruthless.

Heavy artillery, combat vehicles, and airplanes were used to the fullest extent by Seishiro Itagaki, and the maximum combat effectiveness was exerted. The use of earthwork greatly reduced the casualty rate of the troops, and tactics such as incendiary bombs and water diversion and irrigation emerged one after another, causing huge casualties on the defenders.

Today, this line of defense is the last line of defense set up by the Eighth Route Army outside Zhangjiakou, as long as this line of defense is broken, it will be much easier to take Zhangjiakou. So all the front-line commanders today were excited, and they believed that Admiral Seishiro Itagaki would not let them down.

In the headquarters, Itagaki Seishiro had a serious face and said loudly: "Order: The heavy artillery brigade will concentrate all the heavy artillery on the main pillbox defended by the Shina people, and all the chariots will be concentrated and used, and all efforts will be made to assault the gentle slope to the west where the Dohachi Road defense is weakest." The infantry did not follow, let the sappers go to demine. ”

"Hay!"

Zhangjiakou Underground Headquarters.

"Lao Yang, the little devil is really a real soldier coming to the city, Zhangjiakou City will be broken in three days at most, let's prepare to retreat as soon as possible! The commander will ask other troops to meet us in the area of Shangyi in Zhangbei. ”

"Lao He, don't worry, this old devil Itagaki is really amazing, in one week, he broke through more than half of the fortifications we had built for more than three months, and also made us lose more than 10,000 people, this old boy is the most powerful Japanese commander I have ever seen. So we have to fight this old devil, otherwise we will suffer in the future. ”

"What do you do with the commander?" He Xiulin asked in a deep voice.

"Confess what? When it's time to withdraw, let's just withdraw directly, and we won't entangle with them! Don't worry, even if the Japanese army occupies our last line of defense, it's nothing, if Zhangjiakou City relies on the dozen true and false lines of defense to block the Japanese army, then these **** are too underestimate the commander, the defense line on the periphery of Zhangjiakou is just an appetizer, the real killing move is still in the city, although the casualties in the street battle are uncontrollable, but this is also our best chance to destroy the Japanese army. ”

Then Yang Chengwu said: "Lao He, here is a copy of Zhangjiakou's inner city defense plan, which is a big dish specially prepared by the commander for the little devil, now you and Chief of Staff Zhang will arrange it, today I will go to the front line to command the troops, I will have a trick with that old boy in Itagaki!" ”

He Xiulin knew that he couldn't persuade Yang Chengwu, and if he persuaded him again, he would make this old boy anxious with him, so he said: "I don't object to you going to the front line, but you have to bring the guards, if something happens to you, we must be transferred to the old forest in the northeast by the commander." ”

The most advanced headquarters is located in the city gate hole of the south gate of Zhangjiakou, the building above this city gate building has been blown up, and there is only one door hole reinforced by reinforced concrete.

The wall on this gate hole is more than five meters thick, so even the largest aerial bomb used by the Japanese army cannot destroy this city gate hole, so the third brigade set up its headquarters here.

When Yang Chengwu came in, Shi Wenhu was discussing with Yang Shilang, Li Debiao and others how to defend. They were all shocked to see Yang Chengwu coming over in person, especially Shi Wenhu, who said bluntly: "Commander, why are you here, it's not peaceful here, if there is anything, you can just make a phone call!" ”

", Lao Tzu is not a landlord and old wealth, he is afraid of death and is still a fart soldier! Don't worry, the little devil wants to eat Lao Tzu and still lacks a good pair of teeth, I'm here to press you down, you command you, I watch me, we don't interfere with each other. ”

After speaking, Yang Chengwu directly crossed the huge terrain sand table, walked to the high-powered telescope placed at the observation port, and looked in the direction of the battlefield.

At this time, the Japanese army had already begun to attack, but this time the Japanese army's tactics had changed again, this time the Japanese army completely abandoned the traditional tactics of the past, and instead adopted the tactics of fully mechanized troops used by Germany in the European war.

Although the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army are complete, there are too few artillery that can be used and threaten the Japanese tank troops, at this time Yang Chengwu always thinks of the bazookas in the military region headquarters and the armored division, if there are a hundred bazookas, the third division of the chariot of the little devil is not a dish.

It's a pity that due to secrecy and production capacity, the military region headquarters is extremely strict with the management of bazookas, and the military divisions below are not equipped, even if Yang Chengwu came forward, he didn't ask for it.

Although in order to deal with the Iron King Eight of the Third Division of the Japanese Tank Division, Ma Zheng deliberately mobilized more than 100 unconscionable cannons from other units to Yang Chengwu's headquarters, but the range of the unconscionable cannon was too close, and if you wanted to defeat the Japanese chariot troops, you had to put the unconscionable cannon in the air-raid shelter, wait for the Japanese chariot to come up, and then pull it out and fire.

The Japanese army's field heavy artillery not only has a long range, but also has enough power, so often the conscienceless artillery of the Sixth Field Division was attacked by the Japanese field heavy artillery brigade and aviation regiment as soon as it began to shoot, so there are only a dozen of more than 100 unconscionable guns left, in order to reduce the casualties of the artillery and save the only dozen or so artillery, Yang Chengwu directly transferred the remaining unconscionable artillery back to the city.

However, this did not mean that the Chanan Military Subdivision did not have a way to deal with the Japanese tank troops, watching the Japanese tank units continue to move forward, the air in the entire headquarters froze, and all the people looked nervously at the direction of the battlefield.

"Brigade commander, the troops on the front line reported that the Japanese tanks had entered our predetermined position, and the battalion commander asked if it was possible to release the water?"

"Release the water, order them to release the water immediately!" Shi Wenhu ordered loudly.

After finishing speaking, Shi Wenhu walked quickly to Yang Chengwu and said: "Division commander, since we are seriously lacking artillery to deal with Japanese tanks, this time we use unconventional tactics to deal with the Japanese tanks. ”

Without waiting for Yang Chengwu to ask, Shi Wenhu explained: "Unconventional tactics are what you often call wild roads, we took advantage of the night a few days ago to let the troops turn over all the soil in front of this defense line, the soft soil layer is about one meter and a half thick, ordinary people walk up and it's nothing, even if the chariot is pressed up, it's a little difficult to travel, but as long as we inject a lot of water into this area, then this place will immediately become a soft swamp, let alone a chariot, Even people can't go here. Our first brigade is going to paralyze all the tanks of the devil this time, and I see how the old devil who lost so many tanks Itagaki Seishiro can fight. ”

Hearing this, Yang Chengwu was overjoyed. Secret Dao Shi Wenhu is indeed a talent, a few days ago Shi Wenhu asked him to build a small reservoir behind this discovery He was still a little reluctant, but out of consistent trust or ordered the engineering regiment to build a reservoir that is not very big, now it seems that this reservoir is used to thin mud, and he knew that this reservoir would be built a little bigger.
