Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the afternoon, when the front was at its most dangerous, the enemy positions were repeatedly attacked by little Japs. Wang Mingzhang and Fan Shaozeng had no choice. In theory, the first-line position could be abandoned, but they could always let the Japs follow them into the second-line position at the city gate.  The two of them could only use refueling tactics, putting troops into the front line one battalion after another to regain the lost positions.

    When the front was at its most dangerous, Wang Mingzhang thought of the plane in the morning and tentatively sent a telegram to the Peking Military and Political Department. As a result, dozens of bombers painted with blue sky and white sun flags arrived in Chengde accompanied by fighter jets dozens of minutes later.  The bombers dropped aerial bombs on the Japs' heads. After the escorting fighter jets dropped the aerial bombs they carried, they began to repeatedly dive and strafe the Japs soldiers underground.

    This time, the air raid and bombing did not kill many Japs, but the Japs who avoided the bombs disrupted the order, and the backup of the charge troops was also cut off.  Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Mingzhang sent Tang Ying's troops of the 136th Division to replace Fan Shaozeng's troops.

    This task was obtained by Tang Ying quickly kneeling down for Wang Mingzhang. Originally, Wang Mingzhang was inclined to send another brigade of his 122nd Division up, but Tang Ying, who was the deputy commander, quit. In the morning, you 122  The division has shown its face, and Fan Haer from the fourth division has also shown up in the afternoon. Could it be that Tang Ying's 136th division is the stepmother?  You, Wang Mingzhang, also know that the Sichuan Army cannot turn over without winning a few battles. Do I, Tang Ying, just want to be poked in the back all my life?

    After all the crooked reasoning, Tang Ying finally got his wish and personally transferred the 136th Division and 1st Brigade to the front-line position.

    Chengde City has now become a huge military camp. Except for some people who are making final preparations for street fighting under the guidance of the engineering battalion, tens of thousands of strong men are undergoing military training.  Most of these strong men came from Sichuan and Rehe. The disabled troops were replaced and replenished in the city with strong men and other lightly wounded people. After being recuperated, the combat effectiveness of the unit was complete again.

    Today¡¯s troops are no longer all Sichuan Wazi.  The veterans used Trump to tell the recruits in Rehe that in the place considered by outsiders to be the country of pandas, few people had actually seen pandas.  Traps and the like are useless because they eat young bamboo.

    After the Japanese were attacked by air raids in the afternoon, the tidal offensive also stopped.  Yanagawa Heisuke asked each unit to check, and was shocked by the results. Ten thousand people were dead, and half of them were killed or wounded in two air raids.  Several cavalry regiments of the First Division that participated in the attack were almost completely destroyed, and several infantry regiments were also defeated and disorganized.

    If Chengde was captured, the casualties would be nothing, but now the front-line positions outside the city are still in the opponent's hands. What surprised Yanagawa Heisuke the most was that based on the information desperately sent by the Super High School, the opponent was only a third-rate local force, and the attacking force  The First Division is the first-class unit among the first-class units of the Maanma Division.  Most of the members of the First Division came from Tokyo and several surrounding counties. They were a force that grew up in the glory of the Sun God.

    Ordinarily, Yanagawa Heisuke should change another unit to attack at this time, but Yanagawa Heisuke was not only the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, but also the division commander of the first division. In his opinion, the foundation laid by the first division could not be let go.  Others pick the fruit.

    Yanagawa Heisuke went to the regiment and said impassionedly: "The Sun God is watching our First Division in Tokyo, waiting for the news that our First Division will be the first to enter the city, let us show the courage of the First Division to let  Let everything that dares stand in our way be shattered.¡±

    The First Division, which had been unsuccessful in two consecutive attacks, heard this as if it had been given a shot of chicken blood. It shouted in a heartbreaking voice: "The Emperor's holy life is boundless."

    This time, not only the well-organized brigades and alliances participated in the attack, but also the wounded all volunteered, claiming that they would climb up the city wall of Chengde.  Seeing the morale of the First Division being mobilized, Yanagawa Heisuke was in a good mood.

    The Japanese who appeared to attack in front of Tang Ying's department of the 136th Division of the Sichuan Army were also surprised. These troops were all covered with bandages, with wounded soldiers carrying injured soldiers, and lightly wounded soldiers carrying stretchers.

    "Oh my god, this must be a zombie." A soldier with good eyesight from the 136th Division who joined the army in Rehe was shocked.

    A veteran from Sichuan said: "Zombies don't look like this. I heard that there are mummies in foreign countries who were wrapped in bandages before they died. I don't know if that's true."

    The ** company didn¡¯t care whether you were a mummy or a zombie. The temperature of the barrel happened to have dropped, and a mortar shell hit you head-on.  If this little devil is quite similar to a zombie, not to mention the dead ones, all the living ones stood up again after the bombardment and continued to advance with rifles or leaning on rifles.  Even those who have only one breath left and cannot stand up must still crawl forward.  However, the ** Company was not stingy with artillery shells and continued to fire to overthrow the attacking mummy troops.

    "Guawazi, let's get real." Wang Mingzhang has seen very little of the world.It can be seen that this trick of using the wounded to consume artillery shells is the prelude to the Japanese general attack.  After walking around in circles twice, he still chose to trust Tang Ying and ordered: "Add two basic machine gun rounds to the troops in front. Just tell Wang Mingzhang to let go of the machine guns and fire them for me."

    The light and heavy machine guns produced by Nanyang Military Industry are very popular here. Needless to say the water-cooled Maxim, this guy can shoot non-stop for dozens of minutes once filled with water.  Especially when the Czech light machine gun is red and there is no time to change the barrel, you can directly pour cold water on the red barrel and you can continue to use it immediately.

    A large amount of bullets and military rations were stocked in various warehouses in Chengde City. Almost every week, Peking would send supplies to the Chengde front line after getting the latest news from the three northeastern provinces. At first, Wang Mingzhang thought he had made a fortune with more than 200 million machine rifles.  The ammunition was almost as much as the entire arsenal in Sichuan. It took me a long time to realize that even the amount of ammunition stockpiled before the war was not enough.  In order to knock down the Japs, the light and heavy machine guns played a big role, but the bullets they knocked off also made Wang Mingzhang terrified. After two battles in half a day, nearly 10 million bullets were knocked out. If it were the Sichuan Army during the Civil War, the former enemy commander-in-chief had already  He's qualified enough to be shot.

    The shell casings in the front-line trenches were cleaned up twice, otherwise the soldiers would not be able to stand still.

    When the Japanese braved the artillery fire and crawled or rushed to a distance of a thousand meters, the heavy machine guns equipped by the 136th Division also opened fire.  Tang Ying had already seen it later. The enemy's small cannon was very accurate, but the distance did not reach the maximum range of the heavy machine gun.  If the light and heavy machine guns fire at the same time, you will suffer some losses.

    The Japanese¡¯s Type 92 heavy machine gun also had an effective range at this distance. After the Type 92 heavy machine gun was in position, it started to shoot at the Maxim heavy machine gun on the front line.  There were constant 7.7 heavy machine gun bullets clanging against the baffle, but the machine gunner behind him got used to it after a few times.  If the bullet hits the aiming port in the center of the baffle, the machine gunner behind him will definitely die, otherwise nothing will happen.

    The replacement machine gunner had been waiting at the back for a long time. The machine gunner in front fell down, and a heavy machine gun was immediately replaced behind him. He only stopped for a few seconds and then opened fire again. He used hundreds of heavy machine gun flames to cooperate with the artillery.  The Japanese offensive troops were pressed in the distance and unable to advance.  For a distance of more than a thousand meters, it would take four or five minutes to run in a straight line (you can't run empty-handed). Besides, who dares to run in a straight line when attacking? That's asking for death.  The little Japanese organized several charges, but were eventually pinned to the ground by machine gun fire.

    Wang Mingzhang saw it later and praised him: "I thought Tang Ying and Pestilence Monkey (Tang Shizun) were from the same family, but I was mistaken. Old Tang still has two brushes in the war. Let the transport company send thirty more heavy machine guns.  ."
