Chapter 364 Fighting Jin Jin 2
"The Japanese army has been making frequent changes in the past two days, and our troops are now relatively scattered. If they do not assemble as soon as possible, there will be danger of being defeated by the Japanese army." In the brigade, Tong Zeguang and Li Jiusi and others looked at the map of the Pingjin area with concern, and red pens marked the movements and gathering places of the Japanese army. Unconsciously, most of the Pingjin army was surrounded by the Japanese army. At this time, the 29th Army was relatively scattered.
Just when the few people felt uncomfortable, amid the long sound of the train, sporadic gunfire sounded.
"Kill all the Chinese army!" Before the train could stop on the platform, the Japanese troops on it jumped down one by one. They shouted and said whispers. Although the soldiers guarding the train station did not understand at this time, the Japanese army pulled the trigger and shot. Even the stupidest person knew that the Japanese army was about to start fighting. Suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire at Langfang Railway Station. The movement of the station soon reached Tong Zeguang's brigade headquarters.
"What's going on?" Tong Zeguang walked out with a gun, and Li Sijiu followed closely behind.
"The Japanese took the train to the station and fired without saying a word. Now the brothers are fighting with them." Although the soldiers who came to report the news were panting, they did not have much panic on their faces. Among the armies of the Republic of China, the 29th Army fought with the Japanese, probably second only to Jiang Li's Northwest Army.
"How many people have come to the Japanese army?" Li Jiusi asked.
"It seems that it should be a squadron."
"******, a squadron wants to come and grab the train station, thinking that my 113th Brigade is made of mud. They are fucking me." Tong Zeguang was furious when he heard this.
"Crossman, I'll bring the machine guns in the regiment." Li Jiusi's face also flashed fiercely.
"No need, I'll clean up a squadron and don't need to focus on machine guns. There are some hard fights behind me, don't waste those machine gun bullets." Tong Zeguang waved his hand, and the man had already walked a few steps away. Li Sijiu and others hurriedly followed.
"Take the train station and kill all the Chinese army!" Squadron leader Mu Zhaojiya carried a pistol and directed the machine gunners who were holding crooked hands to shoot at the station's defenders. However, the defenders stationed here came one after another, which made Mu Zhaojiya, who originally thought that they could occupy the station as long as they were shot, suddenly felt very stressed. He screamed. The soldiers around him, who were only about a foot away, were shot and fell down. Blood splattered on his face, and Mu Zhaojiya was shocked. At first, he thought that he could get a lot of merits by just a walk here. It was all because he had heard the Kwantung Army officer's words, saying that the Chinese army would escape as soon as their guns fired. If he had known this situation, he would not have run to Langfang Railway Station with only one squadron.
When Tong Zeguang arrived with a team of men, twenty or thirty Japanese troops at the train station had already died or injured.
Dada Wai swept back and forth the bullets of Zi Light Machine Gun, but it won't take long to stop because the bullets are exhausted.
Several grenades were thrown over, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed to the side in panic. Rubber splashed on the platform.
"Kill!" The sound of killing sounds were everywhere, and the brigade of defenders rushed over. Although the 38th Division of the 29th Army had only 11 Tong Zeguang's 113th Brigade and Li Jiusi's 226th Regiment had less than two battalions of troops, the total number of 700 people was not something that a Japanese squadron could chew. After all, the 29th Army was not the weakest troops that ran away when they heard the Japanese gunshot. The firepower of the Japanese army was not strong. The quality of individual soldiers was higher, and they were Japanese elite soldiers based on the firepower based on rifles. In this case, the defenders who were several times more brave and fearless, would only eat turtles at this time.
Bang bang
"Retreat, withdraw the train quickly!" Mu Zhaoguoji gave a embarrassed order, shouting while taking the remaining troops to withdraw the train. As long as he retreated to the train and fled, he could still win his life. Go back and bring some reinforcements to fight again. It would be better to be more face-saving here.
The messy guns and bullets flew everywhere, and the battle lasted only an hour and a half. There were less than seventy people who successfully escaped to the train, and the losses were heavy.
A soldier of Dada picked up the crooked handle left on the ground when the Japanese army retreated and flipped a shuttle to the already-moving train. He added another row of bullet holes to the already wounded bullet holes.
"If the Japanese suffer a loss, I'm afraid they will send troops to take revenge soon." When the soldiers at the station cheered, Li Jiusi was already frowning at Tong Zeguang, who was also worried.
"Put back the 2nd Battalion and two battalions in Zhaozhuang area of Anke, and immediately send a report to the division seat, requesting that reinforcements be sent immediately. In addition, we will immediately organize personnel to mobilize nearby citizens to assist in the construction of fortifications near the station." Tong Zeguang ordered with a calm face. So the soldiers who had just fought with the Japanese army and under the command of Tong Zeguang, they set up sandbags around the station. Some roofs were built.
Soon, Tong Zeguang's preparation came in handy. It was only eight or nine hours before Mu Zhaoguoji retreated. It was around three o'clock in the morning. The 77th Regiment of the 20th Division arrived again before dawn.
Tong Zeguang led the soldiers in the brigade to fight bloody battles with the Japanese army, relying on some simple fortifications built by sandbags. In the 77th Regiment eager to retaliate and the severe firepower it carried was insufficient, they repelled the attack of the 77th Regiment several times. Heng Qijianba's body fell in disarray inside and outside the railway station. The 77th Regiment collapsed under Tong Zeguang's tough counterattack. Hundreds of people died and injured, but failed to advance in an inch, and a squadron leader was killed. The battle lasted for several hours. It was already dawn. The Japanese army retreated again. Tong Zeguang gasped on the back of the sandbag. Not to mention that he was a brigade commander, he was his superior Zhang Zizhong, Feng Zhian, who was the same level as Zhang Zizhong, during the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, was not a gun-killing battle on the front line.
It is precisely because the 29th Army had a group of officers who dared to fight that the soldiers were fearless. The roar of the engines in the air sounded, and dozens of small black dots magnified rapidly from a distance.
Tong Zeguang, Li Jiusi and others' expressions changed drastically, and the damn big bird of the Japanese came again. Twenty-seven, twenty-seven planes landed above Langfang Station. It was not that Tong Zeguang's troops could really withstand the continuous overturning and fierce attack of a Japanese corps. In fact, although Tong Zeguang was defending, and the 77th Regiment was eager to attack, and did not carry many heavy weapons, the soldiers killed in the 113th Brigade were far more than the Japanese. At this time, the Japanese army dispatched such a large number of aircraft, in addition to the fact that the defenders were indeed fighting tenaciously, Song Zheyuan had already reacted at this time. The 29th Army was rectifying the defense line in Pingjin, and Langfang Station was a key pass between Peking and Tianjin. Taking this place, the connection between the two places could be cut off, and Pingjin was almost halfway. If Song Zheyuan's 29th Army was re-arranged, it would cost several times the price.
