When Dohihara, who was discussing the combat meeting to attack Shijiazhuang, received a telegram from the cavalry brigade, he completely sank his face. Even if the casualties of more than a thousand people were not enough to cause him to be seriously injured in his division, this opponent whom he still didn't know is the real reason why Dohihara was sank.

The reason why he sent troops to Jingjing Coal Mine during his attack on Shijiazhuang was to occupy it as completely and without any damage as possible. This coal mine in North China, which had excellent coal storage and coal quality. However, the final result resulted in the death toll of half of the infantry brigade of the division, and there was also a cavalry brigade that had not received specific casualties so far. However, from the telegram, it was not difficult to guess that the casualties were not small.

Compared to his soldiers who like to conquer cities and territories, military generals like him understand the true meaning of launching this war of aggression. It is to plunder China's rich civilian military resources and strengthen Japan's local industry with relatively poor resources. Although the coal mines are now occupied by them, the coal mines that have been taken at such a great price are afraid that the North China headquarters, who knows the situation, will inevitably scold him.

But the matter has reached this point. Dohihara urged intelligence personnel to investigate the opponents of this battle. On the other hand, an elite motorization squadron of the division, together with half an infantry brigade, went to Jingjing Coal Mine to bring back the casualties. In addition, an infantry brigade was arranged. After arriving at Jingjing Coal Mine, it could decide whether to garrison based on the damage to the coal mine.

When the Japanese soldiers who rushed over all the way saw that the entire coal mine had turned into ruins, they were guessing how much explosive was buried in the explosion to form such a doomsday scene. If Deng Chenggong was here, he would definitely tell them with a smile, "Not much, only more than ten tons of explosives!"

In places like coal mines, there may be other things, but there is absolutely no shortage of explosives for mining. Deng Chenggong was buried in the mine in the mine after more than ten tons of strong explosives collected from the coal mine explosive warehouse. Until the detonation device buried deep in the mine area was detonated by the cavalry who had already entered the minefield, the cavalry who had already entered the minefield area, and the more than ten tons of explosives and coal stones that could be seen everywhere. As long as the soldiers who were next to each other were either dead or dead. Even if these later Japanese soldiers believed that they had seen the tragic battlefield, the scene where only the personnel in the past could not see the bodies of other people still made the Japanese soldiers scared.

Compared to the Japanese soldiers who had a bitter face to restrain the corpses that could be seen everywhere, soldiers would occasionally go to the side to vomit, and return to the base with a large number of equipment and coal, everyone's face showed a happy scene. If there were no casualties of those dozens of people, I was afraid that the relocation mission of this trip would be more worthy of these people's happiness.

Originally, when he saw so much coal being stored in the base steel factory warehouse, the factory director Hu Zhengdao should be happy, but after hearing that Jingjing Coal Mine was blown into ruins by Deng Chenggong, he still seemed mixed, but after participating in coal mine construction in his early years, he still seemed to be mixed.

But as a technician, he also knew that if the coal mine fell into the hands of the Japanese army intact, the Japanese who owned the coal mine would produce more guns and ammunition to invade their own country. Deng did this successfully, not only did he succeed. But when he heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh.

After the Japanese army conducted a telegram to send the division commander Dohihara, the casualties of more than 900 people made Dohihara feel a little distressed. You must know that it is very difficult to cultivate a cavalry unit, and the horses of these cavalrymen also died in this explosion. To rebuild this cavalry unit, I am afraid that a lot of combat preparations will be consumed.

After hearing that the soldier sent back by the cavalry brigade was rescued, Dohihara immediately rushed to the hospital and personally inquired about the battle situation at that time.

But when his soldier who had saved his life because his heart was different from ordinary people told him that it was an Eighth Route Army unit that ambushed them, Doihara's first reaction was that it was impossible.

Until the soldier told the name and number of the leading officer, Dohihara had to admit that the soldier did not lie. Because this soldier watched the Japanese Grandpa and Deng successfully confronted the surviving soldiers. Even the other party's number and name were the same as the information department's grasp, which was enough to prove that the soldier said credible.

When he lamented that the battle has reached now, even the Eighth Route Army, which was not listed as the threat target by them, Dohihara knew that he must achieve the strategic goal of occupying North China as soon as possible. Only by capturing a military town like Shijiazhuang, like the Eighth Route Army, which can only fight ambush, can they allow the main Japanese troops to free up their hands to clear them one by one after completing the strategic layout of North China.

Doihara, who thought the situation had been investigated clearly, asked the intelligence department to investigate the Eighth Route Army troops that had penetrated into North China as soon as possible, and then devoted himself to the battle to attack Shijiazhuang.

On the morning of October 9, 2017, the Japanese army, which had already formed an encirclement to Shijiazhuang, finally launched a battle against Shijiazhuang, the important town of North China. With the support of the powerful Japanese aircraft artillery fire, the Japanese army had already captured Baoding, which also had heavy defenses. In the afternoon of the 9th, the two authentic gateways of the national army. Under the continuous pursuit of the Japanese army, the collapsed national army eventually died and injured, and there were only a few national soldiers who could survive to Shijiazhuang.

Seeing the Japanese army launching such a huge military offensive and commanding in Shijiazhuang, Shang Zhen, who was shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, sighed at the lack of effective heavy firepower. Compared with the Japanese army with heavy artillery nearly twice as strong as the national army, they would call for aircraft to support when the national army strongly resisted. Under such a double blow from the sky and the ground, even the tenacious defenders could only be defeated when they were exhausted from ammunition and food.

However, after the Japanese army launched the battle, their own casualties should not be underestimated, but they were slightly smaller than the casualties of the national army. For these Japanese officers who had already fallen into fanaticism, the casualties of some soldiers were still acceptable to achieve the ultimate strategic goal, so that when they encountered the permanent fortifications of the national army, they still carried out suicide squads to break through without reservation. This almost desperate style of play still made the defensive army timid and eventually had to withdraw from their positions and flee to Shijiazhuang to assemble.

The Japanese army that followed arrived at about three kilometers away from Shijiazhuang on the afternoon of the 10th and prepared to launch a final offensive against Shijiazhuang. Shang Zhen, who also concentrated all the troops in North China, was mentally prepared to fight the Japanese army to the end.

At this time, the national army concentrated on the periphery included two divisions of the 14th Army, known as the elite National Party, commanded by Wei Lihuang, the famous anti-Japanese general, and two divisions of the 13th Army led by Tang Born. Their strength still had a certain advantage compared to the Japanese army. For this reason, the Japanese army devoted all the main combat forces to the siege with these two troops.

But even so, the Kuomintang army's desperate war of resistance finally caused heavy damage to the Japanese army, and at the early morning of the next day, Shijiazhuang was broken through by the Japanese army. It soon occupied this important military center in North China. In order to preserve its strength, the Kuomintang army could only start to retreat along the Pinghan Line toward Shanxi.

In this defensive battle, the 141st Division, which had misled the contribution of the militia column, was arranged by Shang Zhen to Zhengding City, a military important place in Shijiazhuang for defense operations. Under the focus of the Japanese army, this 141st Division, which was not very brave to fight to the death, seemed to be infected by the title of heroic troops, and also suffered heavy damage to the Japanese troops attacking this place.

Some soldiers on the positions even fought fiercely with the Japanese army in the form of hand-to-hand combat after firing all the last bullet. This shocked the Japanese troops attacking this place. After learning that this unit was the 141st Division, one of their major generals, the Japanese commander-in-chief finally ordered the increase in offensive forces and to wipe out the 141st Division.

It was precisely because of the 141st Division's tenacious resistance that the Japanese army had no doubt at all that Major General Ishii's death in the 108th Brigade of the Japanese Army had nothing to do with them. In a sense, sometimes being too famous would improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. At this point, the later national army felt that the 141st Division was worthy of being a heroic unit awarded by Jiang Guangtou.

But who knew that the commander of the 141st Division, who was lucky enough to save his life after the soldiers fought to the death, was looking at the direction of Xingtai City and gritting his teeth: "Military Column, I remember you today! If the mountains and waters turn, one day I will definitely avenge this hatred."

The surviving division commander watched his reorganized division experience this defense battle, and less than one regiment survived. And according to the instructions of these soldiers who came back, the attacking Japanese soldiers could accept the surrender of other national soldiers, but they would be shot and killed without hesitation to them, even if you have already surrendered.

A soldier who was proficient in Japanese learned a news from the Japanese soldiers that it was because the Japanese North China Front headquarters issued a death order to kill all their troops that killed a major general in their army. After learning the news, the 141th Division Commander immediately hated the militia column that threw the disaster on his head, and the gift of being promoted to lieutenant general was selected to be forgotten by him.

But there is a saying that is right: a good person does not live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years. This division commander who escaped was lucky enough to survive in the later War of Resistance Against Japan. And after the War of Resistance Against Japan, he really caused certain losses to the militia column. But what is the final result? Just keep it a secret, haha! Respect the follow-up!
