Of course, Kampa Jutaro couldn't do it, and he had no reinforcements to send to Otsuka Kikujiro. With no other choice, he could only send a report to Okamura Neiji in Beiping City to explain the situation.
After receiving the telegram from Ganpa Jutaro, Okamura Neji felt bad. A few hours ago, the Datong troops confidently claimed that they could defend the city for at least ten days. Damn you Are you kidding me? It's only been a few hours since someone broke into the city.
Although Otsuka Kikujiro performed better than Kuno Otonzaburo, at least he knew how to fight to the death and did not surrender immediately, but Okamura Neiji had already seen the heavy casualties among the foreigners after this battle, and the corpses were everywhere.
Even if Datong City can be defended in the end, it will be a tragic victory, and such a large-scale death of expatriates will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the base camp and domestic consortiums.
Of course, the premise is that Datong City can be defended, otherwise the country will not be as simple as dissatisfaction!
After some thought, Okamura Neiji immediately ordered the main force of the 110th Division on the southern front to coordinate with the independent mixed fourth brigade to immediately assemble to the Xinkou area, and then go north from Xinkou to reinforce Datong City.
At the same time, Okamura Neiji once again sent a report to the 27th Division, strictly ordering them to speed up and open up the Pingsui Railway as quickly as possible.
Outside Datong City, the 117th Division temporary headquarters.
"Reporting to the commander, the first brigade, one regiment, and the second brigade and three regiment have entered the city, and now more than half of the city has been captured!"
Zhang Tengjiao nodded and said: "The strength of the two regiments is still a bit small. If we invest two more battalions, we will suffer a loss if we have fewer troops for street fighting!"
"yes!"
"Reporter, urgent call from headquarters!"
"read!"
"Zhang, Gao, Zhang: The reconnaissance force reported an emergency. The 6,000 reinforcements from Datong City bound for Guisui have returned to Datong City and are expected to arrive in Datong City within four to five hours. I hope your department will make plans early. Be on guard! Li, June 16, the 31st year of the Republic of China."
As soon as the combat staff finished speaking, Zhang Tengjiao said in a deep voice: "The little devil is returning to help Datong City. He is determined to defend it to the death!"
Gao Hu immediately said: "We should be preparing to fight to the death. Our troops found many Japanese expatriates with weapons and equipment in the urban area. It is obvious that the defenders in the city are insufficient in strength, and ordinary expatriates have also been armed. stand up."
"Huh, don't care whether he is an expat or a soldier, as long as he has a weapon, he is our enemy, just kill him!" Zhang Tengjiao said coldly.
"You are right. Either you die or I die on the battlefield. If we show mercy, we will be irresponsible to the soldiers on the front line!" Zhang Hao said loudly.
"Master, how to deal with the reinforcements from the Japs?" Gao Hu said.
Zhang Tengjiao looked at the map and then said: "There are two ways. The first is to send a partial division to block the Japanese army's return reinforcements. At the same time, we order the troops in the city to speed up and try to annihilate the remaining enemies in the city before the Japanese army arrives in Datong. .”
"The second method is to transfer all the main forces outside the city to the Jiaozigou line in Gaoshan Town, and use Datong City as bait to ambush the Japanese support troops."
Gao Hu looked at the map and said: "This army of the little devil is a mechanized army, composed entirely of cavalry and automobile soldiers. It is very fast. It is not easy to ambush this army."
Zhang Hao also nodded and said: "The most important thing is that the Japs have more than 6,000 troops. If we want to completely annihilate each other, we have to mobilize at least 6,000 to 10,000 people. In this way, Datong City's I’m afraid the strength of the siege troops is a bit insufficient!”
However, Zhang Tengjiao laughed loudly and said: "The coward will starve to death, and the bold one will die. We have more than 30,000 people in the 177th Division, 10,000 of whom captured the counties and towns below, 10,000 of whom ambushed the Japanese reinforcements, and left 10,000 It’s enough to defeat Datong City!”
"But we won't have a reserve team in this way. In case of any emergency"
Before Zhang Hao could finish speaking, Zhang Tengjiao interrupted him: "If you want a reserve team, it's not a war of attrition. It's like a one-shot deal. If it succeeds, you will be defeated if it doesn't!"
"I also agree with Master Zuo. At this time, we must work hard and eat as much as we can!" Gao Hu said.
"In that case, let's do it like this!" Zhang Hao said.
Zhang Tengjiao nodded and said: "Old Gao, I think I will trouble you to go there this time. I will hand over all the troops outside the city that are not engaged in combat and all the technical arms to you. You have only one task, and that is Wipe out all the Japanese soldiers who came back for reinforcements!"
"PreventionLet the camp stay. It won't be of much use if they leave. It's better to stay here to protect the division headquarters! Gao Hu said.
"That's okay, time is urgent, go get ready!"
"yes!"
Dividing line
Just when Gao Hu's troops were heading to the Zuoyun line to ambush the Japanese reinforcements, the Japanese troops in the direction of Baoding were already at war with the independent brigade of the Jiujiu Army.
This time, the 27th Division dispatched a total of two infantry regiments, one regiment each of cavalry, engineers, and artillery, as well as a brigade of chariot troops, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people.
In addition, there was a puppet infantry group cooperating with the Japanese army, with more than 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry.
After receiving the order from Okamura Neiji, the Japanese and puppet troops went all the way north and soon arrived at Yu County, the front line of the battle.
There was no stopping after that. After using Yu County as a logistics base, relying on this, the main force continued to move north.
But as soon as the troops arrived at Luotuo Liang outside Yu County, they were blocked by the Chinese army. The Second Battalion of the 1st Regiment of the Independent Brigade was ordered to block the Japanese army again.
Luotuo Liang is not a mountain, but an endless hilly area. Although the top of the mountain is not very high, it is very steep here.
This is not a big deal at first, but the road from Yu County to Yangyuan crosses Luotuo Liang, making its geographical location very important.
A few years ago, the Eighth Route Army ambushed Japanese transport convoys here many times. As a last resort, the Japanese army had to build a temporary stronghold in this barren land.
"But after Li Guoyao's troops stationed here, they took the lead in uprooting the Japanese stronghold at Luotuoliang and stationed garrison forces here for a long time to prevent the Japanese from raiding the troops on the northern front.
After the battle to regain Suiyuan began, Li Guoyao expected that the Japanese army on the southern front would definitely flank Yangyuan Tianzhen and other places, so he ordered the main force of the independent brigade to assemble in this area to meet the Japanese attack at any time.
And Zhang Shaolin also has very rich combat experience, and he formulated a response plan after receiving the order.
He ordered the main force to build more than a dozen defense fortifications in battalion-level units along Luotuoliang, Huoyang Mountain, Yangjuan Town, Hutoushan and other places, preparing to use these strong and dangerous fortifications to block the Japanese army step by step. After draining the Japanese army's energy, they launched a counterattack, and Camel Liang was the first line of resistance in this resistance battle. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
