The first batch of Japanese aviation reinforcements in Chabei consisted of more than 30 fighter planes, 18 of which were heavy bombers, and the rest were all escort fighters.
These fighter planes took off from Zhangjiakou Airport and went straight to the Chabei battlefield.
When they realized that the Chinese army had arrived outside Xilinhot, the Japanese fighter planes became excited.
Unlike the ravines and ridges of the Loess Plateau, the Chabei area is flat and flat. Especially now that it is the dry grass season, it is a vast wilderness with no place to hide.
"In addition, the cavalry target is so big that it is a living target at first glance.
Therefore, the Japanese military attaches great importance to this bombing and is also looking forward to the effect of this bombing.
Sure enough, when the Japanese fighter planes discovered the Chinese cavalry troops, they immediately dived down, and then frantically dropped bombs and strafed the Chinese cavalry below.
At the beginning, they did achieve considerable results, but soon the Japanese pilots discovered that the Chinese troops below were actually fighting back on the spot. A large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and light and heavy machine guns were set up, and the entire sky was filled with fire. Covered by the opponent's powerful firepower.
After more than an hour of bloody fighting, the Chinese army suffered heavy losses, but the Japanese troops who came to bomb were not easy either. They actually shot down 9 fighter planes.
But the Japanese army did not dare to neglect and continued to dispatch more fighter planes to reinforce Chabei.
In this way, the two sides fought all the way to the outside of Xilinhot.
After arriving in Xilinhot, Lu Dashan ordered people to continue building air defense positions, and at the same time gathered a large number of soldiers on the front line to prepare for the attack.
In the early morning of January 27, all three divisions under Lu Dashan finally arrived in Xilinhot and surrounded the main force of the Japanese army in Xilinhot.
That morning, the Japanese army once again dispatched fighter planes to bomb, and the two sides fought a ground-to-air duel outside Xilinhot.
This battle lasted from morning to noon, and from noon to evening.
When the Japanese fighter planes arrived, the Chinese army concentrated their efforts on dealing with the Japanese fighter planes. After the Japanese fighter planes ran out of oil bombs and left, they launched an attack on Xilinhot City.
In Xilinhot City, King De, Li Shouxin, Colonel Muto and others all looked unhappy.
They were willing to believe that with the assistance of the aviation force, the Chinese army would never be able to attack the city so blatantly. However, the actual result was that in just one day, Li Guoyao's troops actually organized 7 attacks, successively attacking the south of the city. Many sections of the city wall in the west of the city were destroyed.
What surprised them the most was that there were clearly a group of cavalry outside the city, but there were a large number of artillery units.
It was those artillerymen that knocked down the city wall of Xilinhot, causing the current city defenses to be crumbling.
Due to the small area of ??Xilinhot city and weak city defenses, Colonel Muto placed the main battlefield to block Li Guoyao's troops at the Xilinhot city wall.
But what they didn¡¯t expect was that just one day into the war, the city wall collapsed in several places.
Facing the national army outside the city, which was several times larger than ours, both the German King Li Shouxin and several Japanese commanders looked unhappy.
¡°Boom boom boom!!!¡±
Hearing the constant shelling outside the city, Colonel Muto turned pale!
He really couldn¡¯t understand that in just a few years, this army not only had a full-fledged artillery force, but also had such a large-scale cavalry force.
??Looking at it this way, the overall strength of the Japanese has doubled, but the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Army is constantly declining. Why is this?
"Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, many parts of the city wall in the west of the city were destroyed by the army. Major Yamamoto was killed in the battle. The army is rushing towards the city. Please give instructions!"
"Baga, order Ximen's troops to press forward immediately. If the city is broken, all officers above second lieutenant shall commit seppuku to express their guilt to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Hai!"
After issuing the order, Colonel Muto said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese has exceeded our expectations. Now that our army is surrounded in the city of Xilinhot, can you tell us what to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, King De said in a deep voice: "Mr. Muto, we can ask for help from the Legion Headquarters. Zhangjiakou is not far from Xilinhot. We still have more than 10,000 people at the moment, so we can wait for reinforcements to arrive."
However, Colonel Muto shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, asking for help is indeed a way, but I advise you not to have too much hope."
"Why?"
"If the Legion Headquarters is really determined to rescue our??, today it is not just the aviation troops that are sent, the ground troops should also take action. But it is a pity that we have not received an order from the Legion Headquarters until now. Obviously the Legion Headquarters has no intention of reinforcing us! "Muto Osa said.
King De, Li Shouxin and others were stunned. This result was something they had not expected in advance. After all, besides them, there were nearly 5,000 Japanese troops in Xilinhot. No matter how much Ganpa Jutaro said, it would be impossible for them all to be killed. Consider it an outcast!
Perhaps seeing the shock of the two men, Colonel Muto said in a deep voice: "The reason why the Corps Headquarters did not send ground troops is for two reasons. The first is that they do not think that we are in danger of being annihilated, and the second is that they do not Ability to reinforce our department."
"From my personal point of view, the Corps Headquarters must be aware of our danger, otherwise it would not be possible to mobilize so many aviation forces to reinforce us. But they have never sent ground troops. Obviously they do not have the ability to mobilize infantry."
"Thenthen what should we do? We can't just sit back and wait for death, right?" Li Shouxin said.
"Li Sang, please don't say such depressing words. Although there are many Japanese troops outside the city, it will be difficult for us to defend Xilinhot. But if we want to break through, the Japanese may not be able to stop us." Osaka Muto said. .
"Taijun is talking about breaking out?"
"Youxi, you have also seen the situation outside the city. Most of the Japanese are cavalry. This is a rare opportunity for us!"
"Chance?"
"Yes, cavalry combat is different from infantry combat. Cavalry emphasizes speed and courage. In this regard, the Imperial Japanese Army and the cavalry division under the prince's command must have an advantage. The Japanese did not have an organized cavalry at all before. Obviously this force has not been established for a long time. A new force is about to fight against our army. What do you think the chances of winning are?"
Hearing what Colonel Muto said, King De and Li Shouxin¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up!
In their opinion, Colonel Muto¡¯s analysis was very reasonable. Li Guoyao¡¯s troops had not heard of large-scale cavalry before. Obviously, the formation of this unit was limited in time.
For a cavalry unit that was raised in a short period of time, at most these soldiers have just learned to ride a horse, and they may not have much combat effectiveness on horseback.
But the defenders in the city are different. Most of them live on horseback all year round, and their familiarity with war horses has long been integrated into their blood. If they fight immediately, they will have an absolute advantage.
"Yo Xi, then we will break out!" Li Shouxin said.
"Your Majesty, Li Sang, assemble your troops immediately. We will rush out from the south gate in half an hour and have a showdown with the Japanese on the battlefield!" Colonel Muto said loudly.
"yes!"
