Chapter 129: The Siege of Beiping
(PS: Thanks to the book friend "Lao Gandad" for his great reward. Today's first update will be presented. Please continue to recommend and collect!!!)
As Deng Chenggong led the most elite tens of thousands of militias, infiltrating the direction of Beiping with a dispersed system. He waited for a long time without waiting for the news of the Major General in the Well, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Before he could send troops to find out the whereabouts of the Well, a telegram sent by Colonel Sakamoto, the temporary city defense officer of Tong County, told him about the news of his death in the Well.
In this telegram, Colonel Sakamoto also mentioned that one thing that needs special attention is that a large number of unknown armed forces appeared near Tongxian. From the military uniforms of these people, it seems that they were regular troops of the North China Militia Column. At this time, the militia column seemed to be gathering near Tongxian, and they wanted to attack Tongxian. Considering that the strength in the city was slightly insufficient, Sakamoto asked Lieutenant General to send troops to Tongxian.
Is this militia column again?
Could it be that this militia column is really so powerful near Peiping? But why has the militia column here never attacked the county town before? Is this a militia column a mystery?
All kinds of questions plagued the Japanese lieutenant general. Just when he felt he could not understand the strategic intentions given by the militia column, the Japanese military intelligence officer in Peking rushed into the Lieutenant General's office and handed over the news that a large number of militia columns appeared around Peking.
Baga, what does this militia column want to do? Could it be that he still wants to attack Peiping?
The more I thought about it, the more angry the Lieutenant General, who understood that the situation might be really serious, ordered the Japanese garrison troops around Peking to strengthen their vigilance, and sent a telegram to Ningji, who was commanding Shijiazhuang. He said that a large number of regular troops of militia columns appeared near Peking, and asked him, the commander of the garrison, to send troops to reinforce.
When Neji Kamura, who was fighting with the militia column, was shocked when he received this telegram. He thought that even though the militia column that had fought against them for more than two months was large, the artillery division in the Japanese intelligence was missing, and even the MoF, which was formed using the chariots seized from the Japanese Fourth Division, was missing.
What's even more terrifying is that the First Militia Division, known as the first elite infantry of the militia column, did not find the regular army of the militia column with this number in several battles. Could it be that what is now turning the world around Peking is these disappeared elite militia columns?
With this consciousness, Kaangmura Yanji quickly realized the strange incident at Nanyuan Airport. If this matter was not done by the most famous national guards in China, then the only one who is capable of doing such a bloody murder is the most mysterious Flying Eagle Special Forces of the Militia Column. A special force that scares many Japanese officers!
Combined with the information handed over by Lieutenant General, Gangmura Yanji suddenly found that he was now trapped in the quagmire column. If he wanted to break the siege of Peiping, he had to draw the main division that was currently in the mobilization campaign for assistance. It would be useless for other Japanese troops stationed in the city to send them there.
The transfer of any Japanese main division that is indispensable will inevitably affect the current situation of confrontation and stalemate. Will this heavy army sweep face failure again?
The first time, Gangmura Yanji, who felt powerless, considered the importance of Peking City to the Japanese army, he finally made a plan to draw a Japanese main division to aid Peiping. Of course, the current sweeping battle that is gradually entering a good situation cannot be relaxed. He filled the last Japanese reserve troops to the front line in batches. On the premise of ensuring the advantage of force, he drew out a Japanese main division.
Although Kazumura Yanji had a good idea, his plan to change troops in batches was also very hidden, but he had been paying attention to the militia intelligence department that had always been paying attention to the Japanese army's every move. He quickly transferred the news that the Japanese army was transferred back to a main division from the front line and quickly conveyed it to Hu Guangzong, who had not had a good rest for a long time and had already become skinny.
Seeing that Gangmura Yanji dared to play this trick of believing him, combined with the information he sent back by Deng Chenggong, Hu Guangzong quickly realized that the days of being bullied by the Japanese for several months were about to end. You should know that the Japanese even had the last reserve troops in the battle, and the reserve troops of their militia column were still retained!
Just when the main division drawn by Gangcun Ningji boarded the train and headed towards Beiping, the Eighth Route Army, which had been retaining its strength as a reserve force, finally took action. Under the personal leadership of Commander Liu Bo of the 129th Division, they built a stronghold and scattered the railway line from Baoding to Shijiazhuang shortly after the main division of the Japanese army left Shijiazhuang, they built strongholds and stripped the railway line from Baoding to Shijiazhuang completely paralyzed.
What made Gangmeng Yanji even more crazy was that the main Japanese division that had just entered Baoding was waiting for the railway from Baoding to Beiping not long after boarding the train, and unfortunately it was stripped away by the militia column. It would take at least one month to repair this railway. If the railway was repaired and then set off for Peiping, the daylily would probably be cold.
Fortunately, when he was crazy, he became more convinced by the series of blocking and raids of the militia column that the strategic focus of the elite militia column must be Peiping, which is in danger at any time. He ordered the main division of the Japanese army to give up the method of railway advancement, mobilize the transportation forces of the local Japanese troops stationed in the city, and rush towards the direction of Peiping as quickly as possible.
Deng Chenggong, who was far away from the city of Peiping, received a situation forwarded by the column. After seeing a main division of the Japanese army had been drawn out to help, he knew that there was not much time left for him.
Since it has been exposed, let go of your hands and feet and do a bold battle. Anyway, it will be time to cover up for a while. It is time for those who think that the militia column will disappear sooner or later. As long as he successfully reigns for one day, the Japanese will definitely not be able to destroy his militia column.
The column army without any hidden traces directly advanced towards Beiping in a sweeping manner. With the powerful artillery support of the newly-organized armored division and artillery division, the Japanese strongholds near Beiping could not resist the advance of the militia column at all.
Seeing the sudden burst of powerful attack capabilities of the militia column, which was not far from Beiping City, Lieutenant General was already anxious at this time. While retracting all the peripheral forces back to the city to defend and wait for assistance, he desperately sent a report to Gangmura Yanji for help.
As the first militia column appeared in the sight of the Japanese army in Peking, the neat uniforms and high-spirited troops finally understood that the Japanese army was yelling that they were militias, and they were simply the most elite regular army!
Japanese soldiers who are familiar with the ancient Chinese language gave the most appropriate adjective about the behavior of the militia column. That is, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
Also with the news of the radio-wave militia column attacking Peiping, the Kuomintang government on the front line of the anti-Japanese war. Chairman Jiang and warlord generals from all sides responded to the radio-waves. The first reaction was how could it be, but the increasing intelligence proved that the militia column at this time, under the leadership of its commander Deng Chenggong, had surrounded the city of Peking.
Beiping City has become an isolated city at this time, and the Japanese main force closest to them will take at least one week to arrive. Not to mention, learning that the column is about to attack the regular and reserve troops of militia from all over the country whose morale is already rising, it is impossible for the Japanese troops heading to Peking to support to easily pass through their defense zones.
It has to be said that Deng Chenggong once again became the target of attention of domestic political forces, and even the people who were paying attention to the situation of the War of Resistance in the whole country looked to the north at this time. I hope to hear this army formed by the people and kill the enemy for them again.
Some of what Deng Chenggong could not have imagined was that some foreign consulates in Beijing, who had not taken the militia column seriously after reacting to the domestic situation of the war, suddenly sent a telegram hoping that they would not hurt their consulate staff during the war. Of course, it was inevitable that they would be in a trapped relationship with the commander Deng Chenggong. After all, this was the first unit in China that dared to attack Peking, and the strength must not be underestimated.
Deng Chenggong also responded directly to these foreigners' telegrams. Unexpected accidents were inevitable in the war, but he promised not to hurt these consulate members as much as possible. He could even give the troops surrounding Peking to give these consulate personnel ten hours to evacuate. If the consulate personnel are still unwilling to evacuate, he would not guarantee that the innocence would not be hurt during the shelling.
It is understood that when fighting, it is possible to change the situation in one minute. The other party is willing to give a temporary ceasefire period of ten hours, which is enough to prove Deng Chenggong's sincerity. But what the consulates of various countries did not expect was that when the Lieutenant General learned that these consulate personnel were preparing to evacuate, they were extremely tough and refused to allow them. The reason he gave was that these consulate personnel were likely to leak the defense arrangement information of the Japanese army in Peking City.
Deng Chenggong and Lieutenant General Chin had a serious confrontation with Lieutenant General Chin in dealing with this matter, which made these consuls who were staying in the city of Peiping suddenly full of hatred for Lieutenant General Chin and even the Japanese army. The Japanese did not let them go if they leaked intelligence, but they wanted to use their existence to prevent Deng Chenggong from letting go of attack on Peiping.
Thinking of the Chinese people's attitude towards foreigners, they have always been humble to offend the other party. Since Deng Chenggong is willing to let the other party leave the city, it means that he is afraid of hurting these foreign consuls when siege the city. How could the lieutenant general be willing to let them go such a good shield?
As a result, what Deng Chenggong and the Japanese army did not expect was that this hostage detention incident caused a little unexpected situation in the later attack on Peking.
Of course, this accident is only for the Japanese army. Anyway, Deng Chenggong was still polite and polite in handling this matter. If he really accidentally blows up a consulate, the other party can only think of himself as unlucky. Anyway, some countries have done this in the future, so he just did it a few years in advance!
Seeing the militia column gradually forming an encirclement outside the city, the fundamental lieutenant general standing on the city tower to observe the situation, he had to admit that he had indeed underestimated this militia unit that could only fight guerrilla warfare around Peking. At this time, he could also understand why, when he was in office, Gangmura Nishi mobilized four main Japanese divisions in one breath when he was clearing out this militia column.
