Chapter 206 Shangyi Offensive and Defensive Battle

Deng Chenggong, who sent good news to the military and civilians across the country, did not realize that his mischievous call would make the Kuomintang face a difficult situation of advancing and retreating. After sending the telegram, he ignored the reply from the Kuomintang. Instead, after receiving the main force of the Kwantung Army in Suiyuan and Rehe, he had already fought with the blocking troops outside Zhangjiakou, and immediately sent a message to Fu Zuoyi and Hu Guangzong, who were on standby, telling them that they could launch a second round of offensives.

In Deng Chenggong's view, since these Kwantung Army main forces entering Chahar have come, they should not go back. Anyway, the main forces of the militia column with high morale are worried that there will be no opponents to fight!

After handing over the stability and reconstruction work of Zhangjiakou to Feng Yixiang, Deng Chenggong only arranged an infantry division and artillery regiment in Zhangjiakou, and led the 1st, 5th Militia Division, and artillery division to the Shangyi area outside Zhangjiakou. He wanted to defeat the main force of the Suiyuan Kwantung Army in the future and strive to annihilate them at the junction of the two provinces.

From the telegram sent by the intelligence department, Deng Chenggong had learned that the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army coming to Suiyuan came to aid, in addition to a Japanese main combat chariot division, there was also a Mongolian cavalry division following them and the rebirth of the super warship. The total force also reached more than 30,000 people, which was considered to be in full force.

Deng Chenggong prepared the first militia division, the fifth militia division, the artillery division, the first cavalry division and the armored division for the Kwantung Army, which was equipped with the chariot brigade, and nearly 80,000 main forces of the military force. He can be said to have a complete advantage in terms of force, so there is no need to do sneak ambush again. This time he would pull out the stance and fight with the Japanese Kwantung Army's main division, and see who is stronger and who is weak.

The main force of the militia column was naturally reconnaissance planes sent by the Japanese to start reconnaissance. When hearing that the main militia unit that captured Zhangjiakou was actually going to play an attack with him, Lieutenant General Kawahisao, the leader of the Suiyuan Division of the Kanto Army who led the team to help, said in surprise: "Hey! These Chinese troops didn't run away quickly and dared to take the initiative to attack us. This is the first time I have encountered such an opponent in the battle in China?"

Lieutenant General Kawahika Kawaga learned that the number of militia troops attacked them this time reached nearly 100,000. He also had a chariot brigade, and finally decided not to march forward. He wanted to lead the Suiyuan Division and the Mongolian cavalry division that supported behind him to defeat them in one fell swoop in Shangyi. He wanted to use his strength to tell these Chinese troops that dared to provoke their Kwantung Army that wars cannot be defeated by a large number of people.

With the order of Lieutenant General Kawai Kawai, the Suiyuan Division selected a territory that was easy to defend and difficult to attack in the Shangyi territory, and was preparing for war and waiting for the arrival of the militia. In order to give these militia troops that also took some time to arrive here, Kawai Kawai telegraphed to ask the Kwantung Army headquarters to send air force aircraft to support the battle. In this regard, General Ueda Ken, who also wanted to teach a lesson about the militia column, happily dispatched Suiyuan's air force again to support it.

However, if the flight brigade that was in battle this time was hit the same as last time, I am afraid that the air force deployed by their Kwantung Army in Inner Mongolia would be in an inertia. This made General Ueda start to consider whether to draw some aircraft from the Northeast to increase the air force there.

When the militia column discovered that the Japanese division had stopped advancing and occupied a territory that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Deng Chenggong couldn't help laughing and said, "Damn it, as long as you don't run away, I have a way to deal with you. Telegram Chen Ming's troops and ask his armored division and cavalry division to go around the back of the Japanese to block their escape route. Today I will use a ox knife to kill this Japanese chicken."

When the Suiyuan Division of the Japanese army who came to aid built simple fortifications and waited for the arrival of the militia column. Kawakao, who was paying attention to the movement in front of the position, finally the first militia column troops appeared. Like them, after the militia arrived here, they did not launch an attack immediately. On the contrary, fortifications and anti-aircraft tunnels were built opposite them, as if they were planning to trap them here alive.

It was not until Deng Chenggong led the Civilian Division 1 and 5th Civilian Divisions from Zhangjiakou and the Artillery Division to complete the construction of tunnel fortifications. The Japanese Air Force troops that took off from Suiyuan finally arrived over the warring sides. After seeing the positions built by the militia column, they immediately lowered the altitude in groups of three or five to bomb.

But before they could get close to these positions, they also waited for their column to have an anti-aircraft artillery fire, and swept out an anti-aircraft artillery net belt at the front of the position. As long as the Japanese Airplane was caught, they immediately came back to see the second troops and played the game of the plane hitting the earth.

As for the air force that began to play guerrilla warfare with the militia's air defense firepower, Lieutenant General Kawahoka couldn't help but curse: "Baga, when did the Chinese army have such a powerful air defense force?"

Originally, I expected these air forces to give these Chinese troops a head-on attack, but what I saw was that their air forces were fighting in a hurry to avoid them. Even the bombs could not be thrown into the militia positions in front, which made Kawahika quite discouraged.

The Japanese Air Force, who accompanied the air defense forces of the militia column for nearly half an hour, could not withstand the continuous losses. Seeing that the dozens of aircraft were left, there were not many left in the confrontation just now. They sacrificed so many precious pilots and aircraft, and all they received were fighters who risked their lives to attack, and several air defense positions that they had finally destroyed. After playing this kind of transaction, the Japanese Air Force finally couldn't withstand the airliner again and left the battleside again.

But when these surviving Japanese planes left the air above the warring sides with some disheartened dismay, Deng Chenggong said to the radio operator in the front line command: "Order the Xuanhua Air Force Brigade to take off and bomb the Japanese airport in Suiyuan, and at the same time, order the militia troops near the airport to destroy all the things that can still breathe in the Japanese airport. The latest chapter of the South China Sea Storm Record!"

For these Japanese Aircraft that will be troubled by your head every time you fight, I already know that the Japanese Aircraft Airport in Suiyuan is so small that there are so few remaining aircraft. The Flight Brigade of the Column Headquarters, which has already completed the transition, is also time to show its killer weapon to ruthlessly attack the Japanese. He wants to use sharp counterattack to tell these Japanese Aircraft that not only do he have planes these days, but the planes of his militia column will also bomb their rears.

After driving away the annoying Japanese Air Force, Deng Chenggong immediately rang the phone and said, "I am Deng Chenggong, are your artillery division ready to shell the shelling?"

The operator of the artillery division who answered the phone quickly handed the phone to Situ Liang, the Major General Division Commander. When Deng Chenggong learned that the artillery division was ready for artillery attack, he said on the phone: "First use 120 howitzers to give these Japanese devils a warning! In addition, you must be careful. This Japanese devils still have an artillery brigade. The information found from our intelligence department also includes 150 caliber howitzers, so you must also be prepared for defense when shooting. Don't let the Japanese devils take you in one fell swoop! If something goes wrong, be careful that I will cause trouble for you."

Situ Liang said on the other side of the phone: "Please rest assured, the commander, our artillery division is ready to deal with it when building the position. As long as the Japanese artillery troops dare to fight back, I have the confidence to destroy them all as soon as possible."

With Situ Liang's guarantee, Deng Chenggong said nothing more and said directly: "Since you are ready, then your artillery division will launch the first artillery!"

After hanging up the phone, Deng Chenggong took a pair of telescopes and began to observe the several defensive positions chosen by the Japanese division ahead. From the telescope, you could vaguely see some Japanese devils, bent down and desperately digging out the tunnel. Looking at the movement, it seemed that the Japanese devils also realized from the air battle just now that the army in front of them was difficult to deal with!

Unfortunately, it was undoubtedly a bit late to start reinforcing the tunnel now. After hanging up the phone, Situ Liang immediately ordered the artillery regiments directly under the division headquarters to first shoot out the shells from the 120-caliber howitzer. The target was the Japanese invaders in front of their positions where they built simple tunnel fortifications.

As the shells roared, the Japanese officer who was commanding soldiers to strengthen the tunnel immediately shouted: "Blast, avoid!"

But the speed of running was not as fast as the shells fell. Except for some Japanese soldiers who were in the tunnel and close to the anti-aircraft caves, many Japanese infantry under the cover of artillery fire were torn into pieces by falling howitzers.

Kawahoga, who was also staying in the command post behind the Japanese army, looked at the defensive position in front of his command post and was covered by militia artillery fire. From his sight, it was clearly seen that the Japanese soldiers who had not yet come to hide on the position were blown away by these fierce artillery fire.

Kawaka immediately said to the adjutant beside him: "Have the artillery brigade determined the position of the Chinese artillery unit? If it is confirmed, order the artillery brigade to counterattack immediately and defeat all the Chinese artillery units."

Compared with the rapid response of the Chinese artillery, the Japanese artillery was all professional in artillery, and their artillery military qualities were still better than domestic artillery. Only through the direction of launching a few rounds of militia artillery units, the approximate location of the militia artillery division was quickly determined.

After receiving the urging of the Japanese artillery unit, the artillery brigade commander, the artillery brigade commander decided to knock out several Chinese artillery positions that were sure to be confirmed first. But he was not sure whether there were large howitzers in the other artillery unit.

If there is, then they will first strike and will inevitably be covered by the opponent's comprehensive artillery fire. But now there is no time for him to worry about this and that. When the front position was urged by the artillery team of the militia, the Japanese commander's phone number was urging them to launch a counterattack immediately and destroy the Chinese artillery position in front. If the artillery time is delayed, he, the artillery captain, would probably face the end of military law.

The artillery brigade captain who was forced by the superiors could only pray silently in his heart that the Chinese artillery unit opposite would not have such a large caliber howitzer as in their artillery brigade. If so, then their artillery brigade will not have a good result next! (To be continued.
