717, the Battle of Nanyuan

Because of the long-distance interspersed route of the 77th Wing, the last blockade line had to pass through the middle of the Langfang-Wuqing front from Liu Zhensan's 113th Brigade under Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division!

With the previous experience, the courage of the carp Dengxingichi was slightly magnified, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. Seeing that the enemy was out of the way, he was in a hurry, but he was careful but did not hesitate.

This time it was for the forward brigade to move quickly through the enemy's line of defense in squadrons, keeping a distance of fifty meters from each other.

After walking cautiously for more than half an hour, Liden Xingyi found that these Chinese troops were very friendly and had no hostility to the Imperial Japanese Army. Except for the lack of applause and cheers, all other actions are the most standard welcome ceremony!

"Yo Si! The cowardice of the Shina army was as small as a mouse, and when they saw the mighty military might of the Imperial Japanese Army, they were already frightened. It is indeed a wise decision to give up resistance now, and it is very good! ”

As soon as Lidengxing was full of joy, the 77th Wing immediately stepped up, and finally seized the Tuanhe beach on the afternoon of July 27, 1937, and then began to build its first foothold.

The reason why Liden Xingyi set up camp and did not immediately attack Nanyuan was that in order to hurry, they continuously crossed the enemy's two fronts and ran for more than 100 kilometers for a long distance.

Besides, Lidengxing understood very well that his 77th Wing was just a pioneer, and the most important thing was to establish a support point and then take on the task of temporary defense.

Because the 26th Field Artillery Wing of Ikeno Matsuji Daisa, which is currently marching rapidly on the road, will enter the attack position tonight.

The twentieth division of the little devil entered the starting position of the attack step by step, and the commander of Zhao Dengshun in Nanyuan was also conducting the final inspection.

As soon as Qiē was ready, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and Zhao Dengshun sent a telegram to report the situation to Zhao Dengyu.

Division Commander Zhao Dengyu waited for a while, and then sent a briefing to his army commander Song Zheyuan: "The staff department feels that it can't support itself, and has led the main force of the military department to withdraw from Nanyuan. ”

The telegram did not explain why he did this, because Zhao Dengyu had previously received a telegram from Bai Shujie, clearly pointing out that Song Zheyuan had a spy of a little devil around him.

Under these circumstances, Song Zheyuan, the head of the Jicha authorities, believed that Zhao Dengyu had absconded in fear of the enemy, and that Beiping had been completely finished. So he decided to lead the 37th Division to leave Beiping immediately, and ordered Zhang Zizhong to act as his three positions and continue to fight with the Japanese.

A telegram was then sent to Zhao Dengyu, condemning them for fleeing without a fight. At the same time, he and Tong Linge immediately returned to Beiping and continued to be responsible for maintaining law and order in Beiping.

At four o'clock in the morning of the 28th, Song Zheyuan withdrew Feng Zhi'an's 37th Division from Beiping, and then rushed to Baoding with Qin Dechun, deputy army commander, Zhang Weifan, director of the Pingsui Railway Bureau, and several other people.

Ordered the 38th Division deployed on the outskirts of Tianjin to make way for the enemy, and also withdrew the 37th Division, which was already in Beiping, and then ordered others to rush over from other places to hold Beiping, is this something that a normal person can do?

Because of Song Zheyuan's selfishness, this last telegram finally forced Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu to a dead end again!

At 3:00 a.m. on July 28, 1937, in the 26th Field Artillery Wing of the 20th Division of Kawagishi Bunzaburo, a total of 36 Type 41 105mm field cannons fired the first round of salvos on time, officially announcing the opening of the Nanyuan Defense War.

Because of the recent series of vicious incidents, the supreme commander, Lieutenant General Wanichiro Tashiro, died of anger, and the commander of the infantry brigade, Major General Shozo Kawabe, and the commander of the first wing, Takeya, Mutaguchi Ryoya Osa, were killed, which has made the North China garrison a laughing stock.

Although Yamashita Fengwen, commander of the North China Garrison Army, had just arrived and the armored combat vehicle brigade was gone, he was eager to make meritorious contributions and still took the initiative to undertake the first round of the main attack task, and issued a combat order last night:

The 1st Brigade of the 2nd Wing stationed in Fengtai, under the leadership of Captain Shimizu Shinojiro Nakasa, raided the west and north directions of Nanyuan; The main thing is to capture the Great Red Gate in the north and the West Red Gate in the west.

The third brigade of the first wing, which was transferred to Tong County, has just been replaced with a new team leader, called Hasegawa Ki, this time with the attitude of meritorious service and atonement, and he had already touched the northeast corner of Nanyuan last night. Their combat mission was to seize the East Red Gate.

Zhao Dengshun, as the head of Zhao Dengshun's division commander's special service group, has always been where the gunfire is, his people are there, and today is naturally no exception.

As the supreme commander of the front line of the Nanyuan Defense Battle, although he only has an infantry battalion under his command, he must play the momentum of six battalions or even nine battalions.

Because he already had a basic understanding of the enemy's troop deployment, and the place where the troops were most concentrated was the 20th Division of the Little Devils east of Nanyuan, Zhao Dengshun divided the labor with the infantry battalion commander: he personally commanded nine combat detachments in the southeast direction, and the infantry battalion commander was responsible for commanding nine combat detachments in the northwest direction.

Knowing that the little devil wanted to prepare for artillery fire, Zhao Dengshun accepted Wei Chong's construction and left only a few surveillance posts on the blocking position, and the rest of the people and machine guns were all hidden.

Since they were ready to implement the "jade burning" according to the original plan, Zhao Dengshun naturally had no scruples about their anti-artillery fortifications, and they demolished everything that could be demolished in Nanyuan and built it.

Even so, the 105mm shell exploded, and the kind of huge shock, you don't feel good hiding in the hole. In particular, Zhao Dengshun found that every time 20 cannons were fired at the same time, the explosion sound was really earth-shattering. The entire ground of Nanyuan seemed to be about to jump.

Zhao Dengshun felt that his internal organs seemed to pop out, and he was so angry that he scolded: "The little devil who is lying in Nima, don't you really need money for cannonballs?" ”

Fifteen minutes of artillery preparation made the brothers of the infantry battalion dizzy one by one, and they felt that they had taken a free trip to the Hades Palace.

As soon as the enemy's artillery stopped, Zhao Dengshun suddenly drilled out of the anti-artillery hole and shouted: "Alert post, alert post!" Is there any one alive? ”

"Commander, it's okay, six were killed by the shock, and three are alive! Now that the enemy is not attacking, don't come out for the time being, beware of the little devils! ”

Boom-boom-boom - before the monitoring whistle fell, the little devil's shells flew over again. This time it was more violent than before, and each time it was a salvo of 36 cannons, which was twice as powerful as before.

"The little devil who is lying in the groove Nyima, he really knows how to play tricks!" Zhao Dengshun shook his sullen head: "Brothers, as long as the little devil can't kill Lao Tzu, you must beat Lao Tzu desperately and beat those bastards to death later!" ”

Another fifteen minutes of saturation bombing, and the entire Nanyuan was already unrecognizable. One pit after another, as if the monster had opened its bloody mouth, it was still smoking.

Seeing this kind of scene, not only Zhao Dengshun gasped, but even ordinary soldiers were afraid for a while: "If the large army stays here, no one knows how many people will be killed!" ”

At this moment, the faint voice of the surveillance post on the position came: "Regiment commander, the enemy is rushing up, probably a squadron, and the target is the East Red Gate!" ”

"Brothers, the time has come to fight hard, come with me!"

Zhao Dengshun unscrewed the Czech machine gun beside him, as if a leopard had rushed out, and as soon as the machine gun was set up, the enemy had already appeared in sight.

The surveillance post next to him looked at Zhao Dengshun who rushed over, and showed the last smile of his life with great difficulty, and then tilted his head and lay on the ground!

Zhao Dengshun glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and found several surveillance posts, in addition to blood foam, there were clearly shattered internal organs at the corners of his mouth!

"Brothers, you are all good, don't lose my good brother Zhao Dengshun! You wait, Lao Tzu, let the little devil give you your life! ”

Zhao Dengshun's eyes were on fire, staring at the little devil who was hunched forward, the machine gun in his hand had been integrated with his whole person, as if a majestic sculpture was not moving at all, reaching the realm of the unity of man and gun.

Heavy machine gunners and bombardiers came up and quickly hung up the cartridge belts; Six fighters with light machine guns followed, swinging out according to the realized battle area, each quickly placing a bunch of magazines on his left hand.

Sudden and sudden - because around half past three in the morning, it is the time when the line of sight is the worst. The heavy machine gunner struggled to aim ahead, and waited until the little devil rushed within 400 meters before the heavy machine gun approached and fired.

Zhao Dengshun didn't seem to have the slightest fluctuation, and spit out a string of orders from his mouth: "Let the heavy machine gun suppress the enemy." Everyone, hold on, the sight is too poor now, and you are putting the enemy within a hundred meters. Then listen to Lao Tzu's order, and the light machine guns will fire in unison! Mortar sights, pay attention to enemy mortars and grenadiers. Once discovered, immediately targeted and eliminated! ”

A devil squad leader on the opposite side, seeing that he had rushed to the enemy's position for about a hundred meters, and there was still only a heavy machine gun suppressing the fire behind, immediately pulled out his command knife and howled: "Kill—"

Zhao Dengshun seized the opportunity and roared angrily the moment the enemy straightened up: "Hit Lao Tzu hard-"

Da da da - Zhao Dengshun shot a long point, and the body of the devil squad leader trembled violently, and he was suddenly sent flying!

At a distance of a hundred meters, this is the range of the rifle. Now six light machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the shock phalanx of the first squad was instantly knocked down by more than thirty people.

"大砲を揚げ時、敵の陣地をマシンガン!" (Infantry artillery fires, blow up enemy machine-gun positions!) Tong-Tong-the little devil's infantry artillery has just been pushed over, and the little devil has not had time to open the bolt, and the two mortars behind the position have already taken the lead in firing!

Rumble! Rumble!

The sight man shouted with a telescope: "The direction is correct, hurry up, keep bombing!" ”

After three rapid fires in a row, the sight finally shouted: "Stop!" Stop firing! Hit! We have hit, the infantry artillery of the little devil has been blown away! ”

At this moment, the little devil turned around and ran away with a roar, Zhao Dengshun grabbed the machine gun and roared: "Evacuate the position immediately, the little devil wants to shell!" ”

In this way, the war went back and forth, and by the early morning of July 28, 1937, Zhao Dengshun and his team had repelled six enemy attacks. Five of the 18 combat detachments have been lost, and Zhao Dengshun has lost three here, and now there are still six heavy machine guns, controlling the entire southeast.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
