Chapter 174: Jinghan Guard

On the evening of July 2, Wanglang Mountain, five kilometers away from Baoding, was the first line of defense of the Southwest Army against Japanese assault divisions.
"Camp, here, here comes the devil"
Three company commanders Bo Shaoming ran to the deputy commander Han Li with a telescope and motioned him to watch.
Han Li picked up the telescope and saw that there were a lot of trucks about a kilometer away. The trucks were full of people, and they could tell that it was a yellow-green military uniform. Of course, the most conspicuous was the Japanese devil. The plaster flag can be seen clearly from a long distance.
"Report the enemy situation to the regiment, two companies and three companies are ready to fight"
Han Limeng fisted and ordered the two company troops to prepare for battle.
Originally, the Japanese army's mobility was not strong. It was only to seize the important ground that it sent its vanguard to advance at full speed in a truck, preparing to hit the defenders outside Baoding city, caught a surprise, a squadron devil, if they succeeded, it might really be The follow-up main forces of the Japanese army created extremely advantageous offensive advantages.
Around 3 noon, the first regiment of the Fourth Division of the Weiyang Division received an electric order from the Peiping Military Department. It was learned that the Japanese army was about to launch an assault on Baoding. The leading troops had already arrived in Baoding.
The head of the first regiment, Wang Jun, immediately ordered a reconnaissance unit to go to the intelligence direction provided by the military. The Japanese reconnaissance was conducted at a possible position of the Japanese army. Finally, the Japanese scouts were found at a distance of 10 kilometers away from Baoding. The vanguard has about one squadron. After weighing, Wang Jun chose the Wanglang Mountain area more than five kilometers away from the city, and sent two companies led by a battalion commander to stop the Japanese advance forces on this necessary road.
This blocking location is also very sophisticated. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The distance from the city is unexpected by the Japanese army. Even if the Japanese army uses the mountains and blocking forces to fire, it only delays their own speed. Although the terrain here is not conducive to the deployment of the main force, the Southwest Army with only one regiment cannot use it as the final defense position, but it can leave sufficient time for the main force of the first regiment to deploy outside Baoding.
More favorable defensive terrain, and two companies rely on favorable terrain, Han Li is still very confident in blocking the Japanese army's attack of about one squadron.
This graduated from the ninth period of the Infantry Command Division of the Huaxia Military Academy, Wang Jun, the leader of the regiment of the First Infantry Regiment, was one period later than the eighth period of Dai Anlan. The style is relatively conservative, lacking an offensive consciousness, and was judged by the military academy. He missed the opportunity of the main force, and came to the guard division. Because of this man's defense, Chen Jun transferred his group to Baoding.
There was a loud bang, and the first truck of the Japanese army finally crushed the mine. In a violent explosion, the truck was overturned to the ground. The metal jet generated by the powerful mine explosion not only destroyed the truck, but also put it on the truck. Japanese army, shot into a horse honeycomb.
"hit"
From the start of the first shot, the Japanese army that was suddenly attacked quickly hid in obstacles or low-lying areas, also covered by the terrain and rushed to fight.
"Bang ... Bang ... Bang ..."
"Da da da……"
"Well ... boom ..."
Although the two sides rushed to fight, the whole battle was still very fierce, and bursting gunfire sounded everywhere. Although the first regiment of the Guardian Division had urgently replaced a Chinese-style semi-automatic rifle when heading north, the Japanese army also had a strong combat effectiveness and high shooting accuracy. It seemed that it encountered Japanese elite troops.
"Dear folks, the Japanese devils are coming soon. They are all powerful. We are not strong enough. We can only rely on everyone's strength to dig trenches and stay in Baoding to wait for reinforcements."
Outside Baoding city, Wang Jun, the head of a regiment, was mobilizing the battlefield on the construction site. Because the time was too tight, he had to let the soldiers mobilize the people to help dig up positions. However, what surprised him was that relatively few people came from the city, and more were farmers who came from the countryside with hoees.
When I heard that the Southwest Army was going to fight devils outside Baoding City and needed someone to help dig trenches, the people spontaneously carried a and pushed a unicycle to help.
"Head of the king, you can rest assured, although we old mud legs can't shoot a gun, they are digging soil and digging trenches, and they are slippery."
"Yes, it doesn't matter if we stay a little sweaty. You can kill a few more devils to keep the people in this Baoding city.
"Everyone, work harder, don't be blind, listen to the soldiers and boys, we can dig whatever they say."
...
Wang Jun's eyes can't help turning red. What a lovely people, their hair and beards are all white, and they also carry hoes to support the troops' excavations. While waving the shovel in their hands, they can't help but put their jerky eyes towards the shoulder Wiping it up, but stained the sweat of his eyes, the whole person has been soaked with sweat.
"The regiment leader, the two companies led by the second battalion and the Korean battalion, have already set off fire with the vanguard of the Japanese army."
Correspondents ran from a distance and reported frontline intelligence to Wang Jun as soon as possible.
"Brothers and fellows, our blocking forces have already turned on the devil in front. It is they who have won more time for us. Everyone will work harder and wait for the battle to end. Junyi, get drunk with everyone. "
After Wang Jun roared, he grabbed the engineer's shovel next to him and took the lead in digging harder. Others followed suit. No one wants to be assaulted by devils like Tianjin and Northeast China. Maybe these ordinary people, who are honest in their lives, do n’t know one character, and the peasants who have n’t left Baoding are the most ordinary people, but they are more knowledgeable about big things than some people who are clever.
In this way, from noon until the sunset, the entire defensive position outside the city of Taiyuan, more and more people, farmers in Shilibaxiang, some drove ox carts, some trot with a hoe, all ran together Come and help build fortifications.
There was also a busy scene on the big playground of Baoding Military Academy.
"Move faster, faster, students from both classes, and move these stones away."
There are also many people on the playground, most of them are students. The students of Baoding Middle School, spontaneously rushed to the playground to help under the leadership of the principal and teachers. The news that the Japanese army was about to attack Baoding was notified immediately. After all, the people must be evacuated in the urban areas facing the Japanese attack direction. Even if the Japanese army ran long distances without carrying large-caliber artillery, mountain artillery or infantry artillery fell into it. It will also cause casualties.
Although these students and teachers do not know what the Southwest Army cleaned up here, nor do they know that it will be used as a temporary airport, they do know that at this time, everyone should contribute as long as the army needs it.
In this way, under the leadership of a platoon, many people, including students, are helping to clear up this big playground in an emergency, trying to provide a safer venue for the transport plane that will land in the evening.
After learning about the situation in various aspects, Wang Jun rarely stopped the work in his hand, walked aside, lit a cigarette, and the battle was about to come. As the head of a regiment, he needed a clear head.
"Leader, there are dozens of students from Baoding Middle School to ask, can you send them some guns?"
The second battalion commander, Wang Baoshan, ran over and asked Wang Jun for help. From a distance, a group of students wearing a mid-suit (a new student uniform designed by Southwestern University) were helping a stroller in the distance, looking at it as if waiting. result.
"Gun?" Wang Jun groaned slightly, thought about it, walked quickly, and shouted to the students, "Do you want a gun? Who can tell me, what do you do with the gun, can you kill the Japanese? If you have no reason, as students, you should stay away from here, wait for the end of the war, continue your studies, and leave a useful body. "
"Sir, although we have not received military training, but we also have the determination to kill the enemy. We tried it with a shotgun before we came, and we shot at people, and we all will." A youth with a student-like head took the lead, " Chief, the nation is alive, and the husband is responsible. If we see the land lost today, but we flee, we will lose our heads all our lives. "
"War, we are enough."
"No, the war requires the entire nation to work together. The chiefs can kill the enemy, so can we. It is better to die for life, sir, sir, promise us."
"Sir, students in Shenyang can take up arms to fight, so can we."
"Yes"
...
After a long time, Wang Jun nodded and said to the logistics officer next to him, "Send them the Hanyang retrieved from the arsenal and let them help move the arms."
"Head, this ..."
"Implement the order. There are too many cowards in this nation. We shouldn't break their heart of retribution again. Let them experience the brutality of the battlefield. Can't help but wind and rain, how can they grow into towering trees in the future. They are responsible for the rearward handling, and pay attention to their safety. "Wang Jun waved his hand to execute the order. In his opinion, these enthusiastic students may be younger, but have respectable ambitions. Properly guided, it will be a patriotic young man with a strong bone in the future.
"report"
"Read"
In Peiping, the 19th Route Army and the 18th Route Army are about to hold a joint military meeting. The communications staff brought the latest battlefield intelligence. "It is reported to the commander of the army that it has been ascertained that the Japanese army that attacked Baoding was the elite fifth division of the Japanese army. In the evening, after the blocking forces of the Weiwei regiment completed the combat task, they had retreated to the suburban defense line, and the Japanese army camped overnight. Some harassment was offensive. In addition, a company of the Dai Anlan regiment landed safely at the temporary airport of the Baoding Military Academy in the evening. "
Chen Jun nodded. At present, the Japanese military's combat plan has not changed, and they still insist on winning 'Baoding with only one Chinese regiment'. They still underestimate the determination of the Chinese army to defend Baoding, and even more unexpectedly A large net is already opening to them.
"stand up"
At eight o'clock in the evening, a meeting of liaison operations between the two armies was officially held. Chen Cheng, Chen Jun, and Jiang Baili were the top military leaders, with officers from the division and above at the two armies participating.
"Sit down. Now, let's ask General Jiang Baili, Chief of Staff of the Southwest People's Army and Chief of the General Staff of the Nineteenth Army of the Anti-Japanese Army, to explain the situation, and everyone applaud." Chen Cheng did not cross the line, but gave Jiang Baili the opportunity to speak. .
Looking at the southwest and Kuomintang generals sitting below, Jiang Baili smiled a little, yeah, many of them are his students, but some of them were students in Baoding, and some of them heard him at the Huaxia Military Academy. .
"This is the case. The Japanese 5th Division conspired to attack Baoding and cut off the supply route between our two armed forces. In view of this, we ..."
Just tonight, a combat plan for the joint operation of the two armies began, but the Fifth Division did not get any noise, and according to the previous battle plan, it was ready to launch a raid overnight and win Baoding.
Tianjin, Japanese Army Tianjin Command
"report"
"How is the operation of the Fifth Division?"
Shirakawa was wearing a single shirt, and hurriedly asked the young staffer who came over to take advantage of the cool space.
"His commander, the vanguard of the Fifth Division reciprocated with the Chinese army in Wanglangshan. Our actions have been discovered by the Chinese army." The staff chief Shao Zuo reported truthfully.
"It will be found." Shirakawa leaned on the reclining chair, took a cup of tea with a stern expression, and took a sip. In the morning, the special task force in Tianjin's offshore waters informed him that, in addition to the bombing mission on a large scale, The battle for air supremacy in the battlefield will be further reduced.
This means that Chinese planes will increasingly become the masters of Tianjin and Beijing.
As for the Chinese, especially the advanced fighter planes in southwest China, Shirakawa Yoshiaki, the army commander, is much more confident than domestic military officials. Because at noon, several fortifications outside the city of Tianjin were bombed by the Chinese, and the headquarters hiding in residential areas in the city was not necessarily safe.
"All divisions were ordered to launch a containment attack at dawn, as planned. The original 43 strengthened the infantry wing, and was ready to stop the second division of China from supporting Baoding at any time. However, they were only 80 kilometers away. They were the closest troops. . "
"Yes"
Shirakawa motioned to Shao Zuo to step down and stay alone quietly, thinking about the battle. Initiating this battle to cut off the lifeline was as the commander, and the best he could think of was to change the current stalemate combat plan. Although the transfer of one division will inevitably increase the pressure on the battlefield of the other four divisions, it will undoubtedly give the Chinese a stick.
A Chinese regiment in Baoding ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The nearly equivalent B-class division near Zhengding, and the B-class division in the direction of Peiping, about 80 kilometers from Baoding, are already all Chinese troops that may join the Baoding battlefield. As the old division, the Fifth Division, even under the most unfavourable circumstances of the war, will win the battle against these three Chinese troops at the same time.
Most importantly, according to information from spies and traitors, Baoding is not Peiping. There is no military airport here.
In addition, besides various assumptions, Shirakawa is more inclined to another kind. That is, this division won Baoding before the Chinese army had time to support Baoding. That would be a big deal for the Empire. Good news.
"The turning point in the battlefield is tomorrow."
Shirakawa Yi faintly murmured that perhaps only the victory on Baoding battlefield would allow him to avoid a full-scale offensive and defensive battle with the Chinese army. He is not Noki Noki. Until the last moment, he will not watch the empire line up to die.
