Chapter 79
Chapter 79
By dusk, Shijiazhuang was already besieged.
All the Japanese troops stationed on the periphery were drawn into the defensive line and the city.
It’s like a Wang Ba taking the initiative to retract his head, wanting to rely on the hard tortoise shell to hold on for a while.
Chen Fan sat on the armored car and inspected Shijiazhuang, giving him the overall impression that this is worthy of being an important town in Hebei, and the defense of the devils is much stronger than that of Taiyuan.
After returning to the headquarters, he immediately sent planes to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the entire Shijiazhuang.
At the same time, Shijiazhuang City seemed very calm.
The Japanese troops stationed here belonged to the Muto Division under the First Army, and in the Japanese sequence, they could only belong to B combat units.
But the ghosts knew that they were trapped, but none of them showed fear on their faces, but they were very calm.
This has a huge relationship with Shijiazhuang’s strong defense line. Because on the outskirts of Shijiazhuang, there were a total of three infantry trenches. The three trenches were not separated by a long distance, but were connected and even connected all the way to the city.
The three trenches were designed more than a year ago by a staff officer from the island nation of Tokyo who majored in civil engineering.
The most intelligent place is that the three trenches are obviously more than 400 meters apart, but they are connected, and there are several roads connected.
And these trenches have built bomb shelters, and even 70 mm guns can be transported back and forth in the tunnels.
In the event of massive bombing and air strikes, soldiers either took shelter in bomb shelters or could run directly back to the city from their trenches to take shelter.
When these trenches were designed, it was just that the staff officer was bored to pass the time, and he did not think that one day the Chinese army would trap the Japanese army.
But now, this trench is about to play a big role.
As long as the commander of the Muto division puts in the strength of a wing here, he can exert the energy of a division.
At the same time, behind these three trenches there were a large number of machine-gun bunkers and large fortresses.
Trying to storm the city is even more difficult for any army.
At this time, in the Japanese headquarters, the commander of the Muto Division sat comfortably in his chair.
Previously, he was anxious to send telegrams to the dispatch army headquarters because he did not know whether to stay or retreat.
If you retreat, you must leave before the enemy closes.
But now he has nothing to worry about, since he is staying, he believes that the city’s iron-blooded legion will not be able to fight in.
“Sir.” The chief of staff said, “Commander Kazuki asked us to hold back the Shina people, and they were going to carry out long-distance attack tactics. You say, can we hold the Chi Na people back?”
Muto smiled and said, “Pingyuan-kun, why don’t you have any confidence in your troops? Shijiazhuang is a fortress, and if the Chinese want to attack it, they have to pay at least half of their troops. At that time, even if we withdraw, the task will be completed. ”
The chief of staff said worriedly, “But, Hirayama Fortress…”
Wu Teng waved his hand: “Shijiazhuang is not a small place like Pingshan, and the forts on our periphery add up to two Pingshan’s fortresses strong. If Shijiazhuang is not a city, it is the largest fortress in Hebei. Pingyuanjun, rest assured, the people of China can’t come in. ”
Muto smiled arrogantly: “I give them half a month, if they can call in, I will commit suicide.” ”
Chen Fan jumped down from the command car, and Zhao Changsheng and the others were already waiting for him in the command headquarters.
Seeing his arrival, Zhao Changsheng roared to his feet, and all the officers stood up straight.
Chen Fan threw the intelligence that the Air Force had just sent him on the table: “Let’s take a look.” ”
Xu Shaohua and Chu Yunfei each picked up a piece of information and looked at it carefully, while the others came behind them to watch. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
After a while, Chen Fancai said: “The ghost dug the trenches outside the city like spider webs, although it is very chaotic, but it is connected from end to end, and artillery can be transported inside.” ”
“There are also anti-tank obstacles near their trenches.” The commander of the armored brigade raised his eyebrows and said: “In this way, our armored forces will not be able to play a role.” ”
The tank brigade commander also agreed that armored forces fought on mobility, and if they were blocked by anti-tank obstacles, they would become priority targets for the enemy.
Chen Fan actually had an idea, but he deliberately didn’t say it, just to see what the results of his officers’ training in the military academy were.
He coughed: “Can anyone give me a suggestion, how to fight this battle?” We have entered Hebei, and if we are trapped here, it will be in danger. Therefore, Shijiazhuang must be taken before tomorrow’s evening. ”
Everyone’s faces changed, how could such a strong Shijiazhuang be beaten down in one day?
Chen Fan looked at Chu Yunfei: “Yunfei, you have a lot of schemes, tell me your thoughts.” ”
Chu Yunfei thought for a while: “The last way is to concentrate our advantages and launch an artillery onslaught on Shijiazhuang. ”
“This is how the Pingshan Fortress was beaten down by us, and Shijiazhuang can naturally too. As long as all the current firepower is concentrated, tomorrow morning, the Japanese defense line in Shijiazhuang will be in ruins. ”
Zhao Changsheng disagreed: “The devil’s defense line is in ruins, but the common people in the city will also suffer.” We are here to save them, not to kill. ”
Chu Yunfei smiled awkwardly: “War always kills, we can only try to bombard the outside.” ”
Chen Fan nodded: “Yunfei said very well, war does kill people.” We are at war, not specifically to protect the people. If they survive, they will understand the preciousness of life in the future. (Zhao Zhao’s) If you don’t survive… That’s fate.”
“This is the cruelty of war.” Chen Fan looked at everyone: “If we are afraid of everything, it will be your soldiers who will die.” ”
Everyone stopped talking, and Chen Fan’s words could not be refuted.
“Let the Air Force distribute leaflets first to inform the people in the city,” Chen Fan sighed: “Tell them that in an hour we will bomb the whole city.” They hide as much as they can, don’t come out. This is the only thing we can do, whether they die or live is up to them. ”
Xu Shaohua asked, “But how can you appease the people after the war?”
Chen Fan smiled: “Living is the biggest appeasement home is gone, we will rebuild them.” The new students above the ruins are the best appeasement for them.”
“Carry out the order.” Chen Fan stood up and said grimly, “You still have an hour and a half. “。
