Banxi Yiliang immediately changed his words and said: "Three days! Please give me another three days, Division Commander. I will definitely be able to defeat the entire city!"
Hearing this, Kenji Doihara's tone softened slightly.
"Okay! I'll give you three more days! In addition, Zhuojun's aviation unit called me and said that your intelligence was wrong and that there was anti-aircraft firepower in the city. Starting tomorrow, they will reduce the number of bombers. batch, and turned to support the neighboring troops attacking along Jinpu Road." Kenji Doihara said helplessly.
Their previous intelligence indeed showed that the 59th Army and the 29th Army in Baoding City did not have any air defense firepower. The only thing that can pose a threat to their fighter jets is probably the Maxim heavy machine gun mounted on a high stand.
But that kind of threat is only a theoretical threat. In the history of air combat, there are not many cases of aircraft being shot down with heavy machine guns.
Banishi Yiliang said: "Please apologize to him on my behalf. This is indeed beyond our expectation. But I still implore the division commander, you can win the support of the aviation unit. Their fire suppression in the air is very important to us." The offense is very important.¡±
Kenji Doihara said coldly: "The opportunity I fought for was wasted by you. They lost a fighter jet and an excellent pilot, which made the aviation unit very uncomfortable. They are no longer willing to send fighter jets Come, dive-shoot and bomb the entire city."
Hearing this, Ichiro Banishi also knew that those arrogant guys in the aviation force would no longer be willing to help him.
He sighed helplessly, but his determination to attack Mancheng became stronger.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please rest assured that even if we lose the support of their air force aviation, our 14th Division can still take Mancheng down!" Ichir¨ Sakanishi responded with a sonorous and powerful voice.
Kenji Doihara nodded on the other end of the phone and said: "Okay, I'm relieved with your words! Ichir¨ Ichiro, you are the pride of your family. I don't want you to be unable to visit your ancestors when you return home." Before the funeral, I present your military medal."
Sakai Yiliang immediately straightened his chest, raised his head and answered: "Ha Yi !!"
Morning is gradually coming, and on the right side of Baoding City is the county seat of Shangbei County.
This place is larger than Mancheng. Stationed here is the 178th Division led by the 59th Army¡¯s main division, Cao Bohan, a teacher in his fifties.
In the town of Shangbei County, there is a small train station. It was an extension of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway, but at this time, this railway station became the focus of competition between the two sides.
If the Japanese army can occupy the county seat of Shangbei County, they will not only threaten the flank security of Baoding City, but also form a pincer attack on Baoding City.
At the same time, by occupying the train station, their supplies and equipment, as well as follow-up troops, can be continuously transported here from Peking by train.
Compared to Mancheng where Xia Yang was located, the attacks here were more violent.
The Japanese army assembled a total of 30,000 troops here, and at the same time let the artillery of two divisions and two aviation squadrons conduct bombings here in turns.
The person in charge of the attack here was Bunzaburo Kawagishi, commander of the 20th Division. He had received training at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, and later went to the military academy in Berlin, Germany for a long period of study. Although he is young, he already holds the position of division leader.
Through the telescope, he could clearly see the collapsed city wall of Shangbei County.
On the broken city wall, there are still national soldiers running back and forth.
"They destroyed the railway entering Kamikita County Railway Station, and our train has no way to go directly in." His staff said to Kawagishi Bunzaburo.
A sneer flashed across Kawagishi Bunzaburo's tough face. He stretched out his fingers, touched his beard and said: "These cockroaches are very tenacious. Let's see how long they can last."
After saying this, he picked up the phone and said: "The artillery positions will be bombed in turns at night. Don't give them any chance to rest!"
At this time, the commander of the 178th Division, Cao Bohan, was hiding in the underground command post, looking at the floor plan of Shangbei County with a solemn expression.
This plan is very detailed, marking every street in Shangbei County, every firepower point, and the commanding heights that can be fought for.
"Most of the firepower points in Beicheng District have been cleared by the Japs' artillery fire. Only some firepower points made of reinforced concrete can still be used." His chief of staff, Ren Hao,? said with a deep expression.
At this time, Cao Bohan had some blood stains on his face. When he was inspecting the position, the Japs suddenly shelled him. Although he was not injured, a small soldier not far from him had his throat slit by fragments of the shell, and blood sprayed on his face.
He didn¡¯t have time to wipe it off, leaving the blood to condense on his cheeks.
Cao Bohan tapped the Shangbei County Railway Station with his fingers and said: "Let the 152nd Regiment be stationed here. They are the main regiment of our division. Although the Japs are shelling the Beicheng District now, this has always been the key area for their attack. The shelling Beicheng District is just deceiving us. They want us to put our troops in Beicheng District."
As he was talking, the sound of exploding shells came from above their heads.
At this time, there were no intact buildings in Shangbei County. If you stay stupidly on the ground when the enemy is bombarding you, you will most likely become a dead soul under these shells.
Most of the people have fled here, and the Japanese shells will not distinguish whether you are a civilian or a soldier.
"Damn it, they're shelling here in the middle of the night and not letting anyone rest!" his chief of staff, Ren Haojie, muttered.
Cao Bohan smiled bitterly and said, "I would be surprised if they stopped shelling!"
Ren Haojie said at this time: "By the way, division commander, how can we retreat from Shangbei County after we have persisted for half a month?"
When this question was asked, Cao Bohan looked at Ren Haojie with a smile and said: "My chief of staff, I don't know if we can hold on for half a month, but you are still here thinking about retreat. If we really hold on for half a month, Yue, or the order from above to retreat has come down, when the time comes, you can take your brothers and leave, and I will cover you!"
Ren Haojie knew that what Cao Bohan said was not a joke. When the troops retreated from Beiping City, this teacher personally led his guard regiment to the rear to cover the retreat of the entire division.
"It's just that we may not be able to wait for that day!" Cao Bohan said, his eyes already revealing his determination to die on the battlefield.
The bombardment by the Japanese continued all night long, and the roar of enemy shells echoed throughout the night over Mancheng and Shangbei County.
Xia Yang slept peacefully. He had long been accustomed to sleeping in such a noisy environment. Therefore, the kid's bombardment did not affect his rest at all.
