Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Outside Shanhaiguan, the First Regiment of the Army's First Division and the artillery regiment directly under the division, and the self-propelled artillery regiment, led by the regimental commander Colonel Feng Kuang, have arrived at Shanhaiguan.

    In a forest, Feng Kuang, along with regiment chief of staff Li Wenjie and others, were peeping at Shanhaiguan Pass with binoculars.

    Looking at the majestic pass, with steep mountains on both sides, and the shadows of Japanese soldiers swaying on the wall, Chief of Staff Li Wenjie couldn't help but sigh: "Shanhai Pass is indeed the most majestic pass in the world. It is true that one man can guard the pass and no one can open it."

    "One man is a guard against ten thousand men? That was before." Feng Kuang put down his telescope and said with a confident smile: "Today is different from the past. Our artillery can clear this world's largest city in two hours."  One level turned into ruins.¡±

    "Team members, don't be careless. The Japanese army has been retreating outside the customs for a long time. Shanhaiguan is the first way out of the customs. In such a strategically important place, the Japanese army must have been operating at full strength for a long time. You can't be careless in this battle." Li Wenjie reminded as he looked at the majestic Shanhaiguan.  road.

    "Yes. I understand this." Feng Kuang nodded, and immediately said: "Inform the artillery regiment and self-propelled artillery regiment to conduct the first round of artillery fire coverage of Shanhaiguan in thirty minutes, and then fire a large number of poison gas bombs at the gate. After that, I  One regiment and one battalion took advantage of the situation to launch an attack."

    "Yes!" Li Wenjie quickly stood up and responded.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Shenyang City, the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

    After failing to win over Yan Xishan, Qiao Jiajun immediately sent his troops north. This series of unfavorable news gave the current Kwantung Army commander Hideki Tojo a headache.

    Knowing that the forward troops of Qiao Jiajun had arrived at Shanhaiguan Pass, Tojo Hideki was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.  He kept pacing back and forth in the headquarters.

    Chief of Staff Kimura Hy¨­taro came in at this time, saluted him and reported: "Your Excellency, General. The Shanhaiguan garrison is calling urgently."

    "Oh? How is the situation?" Tojo Hideki stopped and asked.

    "The garrison reported that the forward troops of the China Army have arrived at Guanxia and are expected to launch an attack on the Shanhaiguan defense line soon." Kimura Hyotar¨­ replied.

    "How about the Jinzhou defense line?" Tojo Hideki said.

    "Yoshio Shinozuka has called. They have made all preparations and will definitely be able to hold on to the Jinzhou defense line for more than three months." Kimura Hy¨­taro said.

    "That's good, tell the Shanhaiguan garrison to resist with all their strength and persist until the last moment. Fight with jade!" Tojo Hideki relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, waving his hands.

    Kimura Hy¨­taro wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, nodded and left.

    He knew that although it was cruel to order the two thousand imperial troops from the Shanhaiguan garrison to fight against each other, he also knew that it was a helpless move.

    Because once Shanhaiguan is broken, their retreat speed will definitely not be as fast as Qiao Jiajun¡¯s mechanized pursuit.  Rather than being wiped out while escaping.

    It is better to take advantage of the dangerous terrain of Shanhaiguan to fight the Chinese army to the end and consume as much energy as possible from Qiao's army.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The Jinzhou Defense Line was built by Tojo Hideki, who mobilized two-thirds of the Kwantung Army's forces after careful consideration.

    He knew that it was impossible to stop the Qiao Army's march north with just one Shanhaiguan Pass.

    To this end, he specially appointed Yoshio Shinozuka, the former commander of the 10th Division of the North China Front Army, as the frontline commander, responsible for commanding 200,000 elite Kwantung Army troops in Jinzhou and Huludao.  Several Jinzhou defense lines with Jinzhou as the center were built in Jinxi and Ningyuan (today's Xingcheng) areas.

    Its first line of defense is built with Jinchuan Fort and Xianling Temple Fort along the Liuzhou River.

    This is the place that Qiao Jiajun must pass if they want to go north to Jinzhou after entering the customs.

    The second line of defense is in Ningyuan City, Tuanshan Fort, Xingshui County and Juehua Island.

    The third line of defense is the Jinzhou Defense Line.  Its periphery radiates to Tashan and Shahebao.  Gray Mountain Castle, Dahongluo Mountain.

    There are 200,000 troops in the three lines of defense. In addition, the Kwantung Army has been operating outside the Pass for a long time and has all kinds of defense fortifications. It can be said that it is impregnable.

    This is also the determination and confidence that Yoshio Shinozuka claims to be able to hold on for at least three months or even half a year.

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Under Shanhaiguan, on the positions of the First Division Artillery Regiment and Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment.

    After nearly half an hour of intense preparations, the artillery regiment finally completed all pre-war preparations, including building artillery defense positions.

    With Feng Kuang¡¯s order on the phone, hundreds of 105mm howitzers and 120mm self-propelled artillery opened fire one after another.

    "Boom, boom, boom" With muffled sounds one after another, the shells flew away from their bodies and roared towards Shanhaiguan.

    ??From the attack position of the organized group, there are countlessThe bullet trailed a long tail flame and made a sharp whistle-like scream across the sky, falling towards Shanhaiguan like a meteor.

    "Boom, boom, boom" Shells accurately landed inside and outside the Shanhaiguan Pass wall, and a violent explosion occurred immediately.

    From time to time in the fire, Japanese soldiers were blown away by huge air waves and fell from the parapet to the city.

    In the violent and intensive explosion, this majestic level with a long history began to turn into a sea of ??fire and ruins.

    The bombardment lasted for a full twenty minutes. The hard outer wall was left with craters and devastation, and the entire Shanhaiguan was shrouded in fire and gunpowder smoke.

    The Japanese troops suffered heavy casualties at Guan Guan and were wailing all over the place.

    However, when the surviving Japanese soldiers tenaciously picked up their guns and prepared to resist, the charge they expected did not happen.

    However, a sharp and piercing whistling sound suddenly sounded in the sky. The surviving Japanese soldiers looked up and saw countless black dots falling head-on.

    All the Japanese soldiers were horrified and fled in a hurry, but the shells did not explode after landing, but instead emitted bursts of auburn smoke.

    The Japanese soldiers suddenly screamed in fear, ran in panic, trampled on each other, and the entire pass was in panic.

    On the attack position of the Guanxia Reorganized Regiment, more than a thousand soldiers of the Second Battalion have been assembled under the leadership of the battalion commander Major Qi Delong. All soldiers are wearing gas masks, fully armed and ready to go.

    Holding an stg44 assault rifle (MP-44), Qi Delong strode to the entire battalion of officers and soldiers, pulled off the gas mask, and looked around at his subordinates with burning eyes.

    He said in a cold voice: "Brothers, Shanhaiguan is the first battle for my Qiao family's army to go north. The commander-in-chief has given the task of this attack to our group. It is our supreme honor. Show up with the same vigor as you did on the mother-in-law's bed.  Charge up to me and capture Shanhaiguan. The glory belongs to the First Division of the Army, to our entire regiment, and to our Second Battalion!"

    After finishing speaking, Qi Delong suddenly pulled the bolt of the MP-44 assault rifle in his hand and pointed behind him: "Charge!"

    More than a thousand officers and soldiers immediately responded with a group shout: "Kill! Charge!" They screamed and swarmed towards Shanhaiguan with MP-44 assault rifles.

    The mg42 machine gun groups on our own positions also opened fire, providing powerful fire cover for the attacking troops.

    "Kill!" Qi Delong pulled down his gas mask and joined the charging crowd with his subordinates without hesitation.

    "Glory belongs to our Army's First Division, kill!" Zhao Quan, the first company commander, roared and rushed to the front.

    At this time, the Japanese troops on the top of the city were still in chaos. A few Japanese soldiers endured the attack of poisonous gas and shot tenaciously to stop them, but their efforts were in vain.

    Without complete firepower support, it is impossible to stop the charge of more than a thousand Qiao Family Army soldiers with only scattered shots from rifles.

    What's more, the MG42 machine gun group on the group's position exerted super fire suppression. The Japanese soldiers who stubbornly shot out of their heads were hit by the bullets that rained down like raindrops before they could fire the machine guns.  Go down.

    The MP-44 assault rifle in the hands of the stormtroopers also shows its power. Whether it is single-shot burst or continuous fire suppression, it can perform to its fullest.

    The 38-type rifles in the hands of the Japanese on top of the city were simply unable to parry, and even their proud Type 92 heavy machine guns could not suppress hundreds of assault rifle volleys.

    As the distance approached, the rocket soldiers of each company and platoon of the second battalion finally had a chance to take action, and bazooka rocket launchers opened fire one after another.

    The target was directed at the surviving Japanese heavy machine gun fire points. As rockets were fired one after another, the remaining Japanese fire points were gradually destroyed.

    Zhao Quan's company was the first to rush to the Guanqiang Gate. Three rocket soldiers carried bazooka rocket launchers and replaced them with explosive bombs, aiming at the Guanqiang City Gate that was sealed by the Japanese army.

    "ٴٴٴ!" Three screams rang out, and three blasting bombs were fired in vain, flying towards the city gate with flames.

    "Boom, boom, boom!" Three loud bangs sounded almost at the same time, and fire shot up from the ground. Under the huge explosion, the huge wooden city gate wrapped in copper and iron was immediately blown into pieces.

    However, the inside was sealed with stones and concrete by the Japanese army.

    At this time, the Japanese troops on the wall had obtained gas masks, and the reinforcements inside the pass also rushed to the female wall. For a time, bullets rained down on the city.

    Three rocket soldiers who bombarded the city gate were shot one after another and fell into a pool of blood.

    When Zhao Quan saw this, he was very anxious. He picked up the MP-44 assault rifle in his hand and fired at the city head.

    "Company commander, what should I do?" A platoon leader asked anxiously when he saw that the way into the pass had been blocked by the Japanese.

    "Go up the ladder!" Zhao Quan said with concern.?, taking the lead in running towards the attack direction of the other two companies.

    The first company is responsible for breaking through the city gate, while the second company, third company and other troops are responsible for using ladders to climb the city and attack.

    When Zhao Quan and his men rushed to the left, a soldier on a ladder happened to be sacrificed. He immediately pointed at the ladder and shouted: "Quick, climb up for me!"

    When the Japanese soldiers on the city saw this, they opened fire one after another, and dense bullets whizzed past Zhao Shen's head.

    "Fire-breathing soldiers!" Zhao Quan roared at the top of his lungs: "Burn those stupid bastards to death."

    Not long after, several flamethrowers rushed over with flamethrowers on their backs under a hail of bullets, spraying fire against the city head several meters high.

    The few Japanese soldiers who resisted tenaciously on the top of the city were suddenly swallowed up by the flames. They were like rats on fire, running around, and screaming in pain that made their scalp numb.
