The Yanbei detachment crossed the railway in a mighty manner.
Then he met up with the comrades from the Wutaishan detachment.
Ding Wei finally returned to his troops and immediately took back the six field guns.
This is a useful tool for housekeeping in the future and must be cherished.
"Consultant Zhang..."
"There are really so many of you!"
"What do you think?"
"Understood."
Zhang Chu nodded.
What you promise, you will definitely do.
There are indeed many people in the Wutaishan detachment. Most of them are mobilized militiamen.
Not to mention, all German weapons and equipment.
Li Yunlong, Xinyi Tuan, Fine Machinery.
Kong Jie, Independent Regiment, Su Zhou.
Ding Wei, it's Germany's turn.
Mauser 98k rifle. Matched with mg34 general machine gun. There are also 81 mm mortars.
"One general-purpose machine gun per squad."
"Each company has one machine gun platoon, plus three more. That's a total of twelve."
"Nine mortars per company."
Zhang Chu simply communicated with Ding Wei.
The core of the German armored infantry squad is this mg34 machine gun.
The other Mauser 98k and so on are all centered around this mg34 general machine gun. They are dispensable.
As a supplement to the melee firepower, each squad is equipped with two MP40 submachine guns.
The problem now is that Zhang Chu doesn't have that many shell guns. He can't upgrade to enough submachine guns.
what to do?
Each squad is equipped with three SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles.
Anyway, submachine guns are equipped with new bullets. Semi-automatic rifles are also equipped with new bullets. Then use semi-automatic rifles instead.
Ding Wei had no objection.
His focus now is only on mortars and field artillery.
Especially field artillery. It is the core firepower of the entire Wutai Mountain detachment. It is indispensable.
"Commander Zhang, how many more doors are there?"
"Okay! Use the officer's command knife in exchange for a field cannon."
"make a deal!"
Ding Wei agreed immediately.
The Japanese general's command sword was difficult to use, but there was still hope for the assistant officer's sword.
These command knives are of little use if captured.
If it could be exchanged for a field gun, he would laugh in his dreams.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Da da da……"
As weapons and ammunition were gradually equipped, the battle began one after another.
The first is to seize the outer strongholds of Fan County.
The first stronghold is Tiema Village.
There are three artillery towers here, one small group of Japanese invaders and one company of puppet troops.
Based on the previous battles, this stronghold is quite difficult to attack. Because the three gun towers cooperate with each other, there are no blind spots at all.
At the same time, as soon as a gun fired here, the Japanese invaders knew that it was Tubal Road that launched the attack.
The Japanese invaders stationed in the county will report it immediately.
Then the Japanese aircraft will be dispatched for reconnaissance. If it is confirmed that it is a large-scale attack on Tubal Road, reinforcements will be dispatched.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The field artillery began to fire.
One shell after another hit the three gun towers.
Since Zhang Chu promised to reimburse the ammunition, the artillerymen were open to work. There was no psychological burden, and the firing was very accurate.
"boom!"
"Crash..."
"boom!"
"Crash..."
In less than five minutes, all three gun towers were destroyed.
The Japanese invaders and puppet troops inside were all buried under the ruins. They were then greeted by mortars.
Mortars ravaged the ruins over and over again.
Even the Japanese aggressors who were still alive were turned into meat after being bombed repeatedly.
"Nani?"
"Is there a field artillery on Tubal Road?"
"idiot!"
Gentake Doi immediately realized something was wrong.
He realized a deep sense of crisis.
Tubal Road is going to attack me! They are coming for Fan County.
Report the situation to your superiors in a hurry.
result……
The call didn't go through.
But Tubal Road had already cut off the phone line.
Fortunately, there is still a radio station.
So he hurriedly reported the situation on the radio.
Finally, the information went all the way to Saburo Saito, Chief of Staff of the First Army.
"Nani?"
"Fan County?"
Saburo Saito hurriedly checked the map.
Got it figured out.
Tubal Road originally wanted to attack Fan County.
Trouble.
The location of Fanxian County is a bit neither good nor bad.
It is only about thirty kilometers away from the nearest county town. Logically speaking, this is a very short distance.
If there are no accidents, reinforcements can be dispatched quickly.
The current situation is, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents? Who can guarantee that Tubal Road is not a siege and reinforcements?
This is what Tubalu is best at.
Once your reinforcements are dispatched, they may fall into an ambush on Tubal Road.
Once you fall into the ambush circle on Tubal Road...
Saburo Saito was still frightened.
The consequences are disastrous. Even if you don't die, you will still have to shed your skin.
Don't forget, there are field guns on Tubal Road.
Now that we have field artillery, will other firepower still be inferior?
The reinforcements of one or two squadrons are simply a loss of lives.
However, the garrison in each nearby county can only be one brigade at most. It is impossible to mobilize more reinforcements.
In fact, Fan County is in danger, and so are other counties.
Since Tubal Road has the ability to attack Fan County, it must also have the ability to attack other counties!
have no choice……
Come and report to Yoshio Shinozuka.
Yoshio Shinozuka frowned.
idiot!
Cursing inwardly.
Tubalu's knife is really fatal.
This Fan County is about three hundred miles away from Ping'an County. The distance can be said to be far or close.
If the reinforcements heading north go to rescue Fan County, they will not be able to take care of Ping'an County as well.
If we try to save Ping'an County, we cannot take care of Fan County at the same time.
I'm so tired. I can't even reach the shore.
When did Tubal Road become so active? How dare you launch large-scale wars in three places at the same time?
I pondered for a long time...
In the end, the original plan was maintained.
Let the 29th Division go to rescue Fan County.
Let other troops attack Ping'an County.
Although the troops are divided into two groups, the advantage in strength is still huge.
Especially North Road.
A complete 29th Division! Three regiments!
Even if Tubal Road attacks with all their strength, it will not be a big deal. As long as Fan County can hold on for about a week.
Why a week?
Because there will definitely be interceptions along the way.
The road to Fan County is not easy to walk. If Tubal Road blocks it, it will take a lot of time.
But it will definitely arrive within seven days.
It is impossible for Tubal Road to stop a Japanese division for seven days!
So, is there any problem with the Fan County defenders persisting for seven days? Absolutely not!
"Your Excellency Commander..."
Saburo Saito was about to speak but stopped.
He wanted to ask for instructions on whether to report this matter to his superiors.
Above the First Army, there is the North China Front Army! The commander of the North China Front Army, Shun Tada, is said to be "not very satisfied" with the First Army.
Major General Miyano, Chief of Staff of the North China Front, is about to leave for Taiyuan to inspect military affairs.
To put it bluntly, Shun Tada no longer trusts Yoshio Shinozuka and wants to send someone to replace him.
What an eventful time...
If Fan County is lost again...
"Saito-kun, go make arrangements!"
"Please rest assured that our First Army has the ability to stabilize the security of Jin Province."
Yoshio Shinozuka said slowly.
Saito Saburo then took his leave and went out without reporting it to the superior.
The commander obviously wanted to conceal this matter.
So he went to Dianfan County and asked the defenders to hold on for ten days.
Well, three days have been added...
It's a common practice. It's safer this way.
"Tie!"
Doi Genwu breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God. The commander still attaches great importance to Fan County and directly dispatched a division to rescue.
Hold on for ten days...
No problem at all.
Even if there are field artillery on Tubal Road, he is not afraid.
The fortifications in Fan County were repeatedly reinforced. A large number of Chinese laborers were used. There were tens of thousands of people in front and behind!
"Report!"
"Honghua Temple Stronghold..."
"Tuba Road is fierce..."
Before I finished talking here, the stronghold of Honghua Temple was lost over there.
There was also a burst of artillery bombardment on Tubal Road. All the gun towers and bunkers were destroyed directly. Then mortars were used in turns to bombard the defenders, killing all the defenders.
Simple.
direct.
rough.
In order to ensure a direct hit, the soldiers pushed the field artillery less than 500 meters in front of the enemy's gun tower.
The bursts are the bayonets attached to the cannon.
One cannon and one turret. You can hit them with your eyes closed.
The Japanese invaders were completely deceived.
They have never encountered such a fighting method.
Is the artillery fire so fierce?
It's all in ruins, and they're still being bombarded?
